Chapter 181 The Elf Princess and the Next King

 Chapter 180

  Rosen looked at the ground getting farther and farther away, and reached out his hand to gently touch the bark of the ancient tree of life.

  It feels as cool as jade, and you can see the golden juice flowing inside through the translucent bark.

  Those golden juices seemed to be interwoven into extremely complex spiritual runes.

  The vine elevator stopped after rising for several hours, and Rosen smelled the unusually fresh air around him with joy.

  He likes the environment here very much and believes that this will become a new home that will satisfy him.

  Under the guidance of the Sequence 4 Wood Elf, Rosen arrived at the Elf Palace in the Sky Garden without any obstruction.

  Although the Wood Elves Principality is a principality, its overall strength has been that of a kingdom from the very beginning.

  It's just that the Wood Elf royal family has demigods. The Grand Duke of the Wood Elf Principality is only Sequence 4. Moreover, unlike the Grand Dukes of other principalities who are inherited from generation to generation, the Grand Duke of the Wood Elf Kingdom is not hereditary. Instead, it can only be inherited by the husband of each generation of the Wood Elf queen.

  In the restaurant made entirely of wood and filled with artistic atmosphere, Rosen met the elegant and noble Wood Elf Queen.

  All the meals were vegetarian, and the Queen looked Rosen up and down with a hint of arrogance.

  "Can you save the ancient tree of life?"

  The Queen asked in a haughty tone.

  "able!"

  Rosen unceremoniously sat down opposite and picked up an unfamiliar fruit and started eating it.

  "What method?"

  The queen frowned slightly and hated the human in front of her even more.

  "Let the others leave."

  Rosen said as he looked at several wood elf servants.

  The Wood Elf Queen was not worried about her own safety and immediately signaled all her servants to leave.

  "Miracle Life Nature Fairy."

  Rosen summoned the nature fairy he had drawn.

  "There really are natural fairies that can become miraculous beings."

  The queen excitedly teleported to Rosen's side and picked up the natural fairy.

  However, she soon discovered that the nature fairy in her hand was painted, but the power it possessed was indeed the miraculous power of miraculous life, which meant that the human in front of her was a painter who imprisoned a nature fairy and forcibly enslaved the nature fairy with spiritual paintings.

  At this moment, the thought of killing this human came into the mind of the Wood Elf Queen.

  There is the factor of wanting to seize the natural fairies, and there is also the factor of humans imprisoning the natural fairies.

  But after calming down, the Wood Elf Queen did not act rashly.

  After all, this is the human world, and their branch of wood elves is just a subsidiary of humans. Even if the world government gives them enough autonomy, every Grand Duke will become a royal husband. If she has a choice, how can she be willing to marry a human?

  This human painter can enslave natural fairies and come to her fearlessly.

  If she has a strong background, her actions will only bring endless disasters.

  "I want to buy the nature goblin."

  The Wood Elf Queen spoke frankly after careful consideration.

  "Okay, but I'll set the terms of the deal."

  Rosen said as he released the natural fairy from the spiritual painting, then re-materialized it in his hand and clenched it tightly.

  "you say."

  The Queen of Wood Elf said with pain as she looked at the suffering Nature Fairy.

  "Three conditions."

  Rosen raised his left hand and stretched out three fingers. "First, I want to be the elf princess's husband. Second, fairies can only be contracted by the elf princess. Third, the elf princess must become my contracted pet."

  The Wood Elf Queen could barely tolerate the first condition, but she almost exploded when she heard the third condition.

  This is not only insincere, it is simply trampling on the wood elves.

  The Wood Elf Queen suppressed her anger and asked tentatively, "Why do you propose such a condition?"

  "Of course I have my confidence."

  Rosen said confidently, "As far as I know, the Wood Elves have three hereditary dukes, and the husbands of all generations are from the three hereditary duke families. Being forced to choose one of the three to marry a human hereditary duke, isn't this something the Wood Elves are used to?

  As for the second condition, I think you should have no objection.

  The third condition is a bit harsh. I have mastered the special painter skill of human body painting. Combined with the divine architecture of the divine territory, I can perfectly contract the elf princess to become my Sequence 5 pet.

  By then, the power of each other will be perfectly shared, and the Wood Elves may be able to give birth to a Sequence 1."

  "You mean my daughter can become Sequence 1 if she follows you?"

  The Wood Elf Queen looked at Rosen like he was a madman.

  Rosen smiled and summoned Little Dragon Girl and Storm Thunderbird, summoned the Nightmare Slime and the self-portrait clone that turned into Quetzalcoatl, summoned the projection of the Time Tower and the remaining ring of Poseidon, and even released spiritual thoughts to demonstrate the power of the Creator.

  The Queen of the Wood Elf looked at the four lives with nightmare shackles on their bodies, and the more she looked, the more horrified she became.

  The miracle life fairy dragon, the divine life storm thunderbird, the slime that holds divine power, and the divine feathered serpent.

  This is not counting the time-attribute miracle building, and the high-sequence mysterious ring that contains an aura that makes her feel afraid.

  Just a Sequence 6 painter can have all these. The potential of this human is at a level she has never seen before. Even the foundation of those gods' lives would not be stronger. It may not be an exaggeration to train her daughter to Sequence 1.

  "Can't we change the terms?"

  The Queen of the Wood Elves completely gave up the idea of ​​robbing the natural fairies.

  She would never believe that she had achieved such a foundation through her own efforts.

  So this human must have a great background, but she definitely couldn't just sell her daughter like that.

  "I originally just wanted to get a local identity and hunt the Beast King."

  Rosen shook his head and said, "But I accidentally saw the bounty offered by the Wood Elf Principality, and I unexpectedly like the environment here. Your arrogant attitude just makes me very uncomfortable. This is my condition. You don't want the Ancient Tree of Life to die, do you?"

  "I agree to your terms."

  From outside the restaurant came a voice as clear, soft, cool and pleasant as a stream.

  Rosen looked at the elf girl walking in from outside the restaurant. His first feeling was that he was unhappy with the Wood Elf Queen and had deliberately made things difficult for her, but it turned out to be a good thing. This elf princess was worth it for him to have at any cost.

  "But I have one condition."

  The Elf Princess walked up to Rosen, looked down at him and said, "My husband must be able to completely conquer me."

  "Totally conquer you."

  Rosen stood up, looked directly into the Elf Princess' eyes, and instantly projected the Curtain of Ashes into her spiritual consciousness.

  There was a stone painted on the airplane screen, and at that moment the elf princess also regarded herself as a stone.

  Although it was only a moment, the Elf Princess, who had reached Sequence Level 5, had already broken free from the influence of the Ash Curtain on her spiritual consciousness.

  However, Rosen, who had succeeded in the sneak attack, still seized the opportunity to step forward, hug the elf princess, lowered his head and kissed her.

  The Elf Princess instinctively wanted to cast a spell, but found that she was unable to mobilize her spiritual power.

  The human's hand pressing on her waist actually imprisoned her spirituality.

  She could only struggle with her physical strength, but the human in front of her was as strong as the bull, making it impossible for her to break free.

  "That's enough!"

  The Wood Elf Queen said angrily with a dark face.

  Rosen retracted his charming tongue, but did not let go of the elf princess who had been paralyzed by his charming tongue.

  "She agreed."

  Rosen hugged the elf princess and smiled with satisfaction.

  "The enchanting power of the abyss, you will never win my daughter's heart like this."

  The Wood Elf Queen said warningly.

  "So what do you say we should do?"

  Rosen asked back.

  "My daughter has been strong since she was young. You have to hunt the Beast King to show her your strength. And contract pets are absolutely not allowed."

  The Wood Elf Queen stated her carefully considered bottom line.

  She was careless and didn't have time to stop it, and her daughter was taken advantage of by this damn man.

  Now she needs time to investigate this human's background, and needs to further understand this human's potential by hunting the Beast King. Having many treasures only means that he is wealthy, and only actual combat can identify his true potential, allowing her to accurately judge whether it is worth sacrificing her daughter.

  All things in the world are interdependent and mutually exclusive. The level of this ancient life tree in the Wood Elf Principality is as high as Sequence 3.

  Strictly speaking, the Ancient Tree of Life is the strongest fighting force of the Wood Elf Principality.

  However, ever since an unknown mysterious parasite had drilled into the trunk of the Ancient Tree of Life, the entire Wood Elf Principality had tried every means to save the Ancient Tree of Life. As a result, a mere Sequence 9 social parasite had left the entire Wood Elf Principality helpless.

  To destroy these parasites, you need the power of destruction.

  However, the pure power of destruction will harm the ancient tree of life, so it is necessary to master the power of life at the same time.

  Natural fairies control the power of nature. Naturally, they have a vibrant side, but also a violent side that can destroy everything. Almost all those who can control the power of nature are extraordinary beings of Sequence 1, and they are not beings that the Wood Elf Principality can mobilize at will.

  Moreover, if someone tampers with the Ancient Tree of Life with ill intentions, the Principality of Wood Spirit Realm will have to endure the heavy loss.

  Rosen did not insist on contracting the elf princess into a pet. He sent the elf princess into the spiritual painting that sealed the natural fairies and allowed them to communicate.

  Soon the Elf Princess had made a contract with the Nature Fairy, and Rosen saw the entire communication process between the two clearly.

  She just complained that he was a big villain, and then they shared the same hatred for the enemy. In addition, fairies were naturally close to the elves, and she didn't want to continue to be sealed in the painting and be enslaved by hateful humans. Naturally, she agreed to the contract of the elf princess without hesitation.

  Rosen put away the spiritual painting. Although the sealed natural fairy was gone, this painting still had 30% of the power of the natural fairy.

  The natural fairy who had finally escaped from the seal instinctively wanted to attack Rosen.

  But when he saw Rosen glaring at him, he immediately shrank into the elf princess's chest and poked his head out to make faces at him. It seemed that it would be impossible to ease the relationship with this vengeful little thing in a short time.

  However, the elf princess who had been glaring at him angrily now looked at him with a little shyness in her coldness.

  "I'm Rosen Howard, can you tell me your name now?"

  Rosen stepped forward and hugged the Elf Princess, squeezing the Nature Fairy so hard that he couldn't breathe and struggled desperately.

  "Alicia Eddas Carly Astorga..."

  The elf princess struggled for a while but failed to break free, and reluctantly uttered her real name which was dozens of words long.

  "Rosen, can you let my daughter go?"

  The Queen of the Wood Elf stood aside with a dark face and said with gritted teeth.

  Rosen wanted to launch a sneak attack, but Alicia instantly dodged it by switching with the plants. However, the natural fairy who broke free from the restraints used too much force and flew upwards into his face, and was almost eaten by him.

  The frightened nature fairy ran to Alicia's ear as fast as she could and chattered about it.

  Alicia finally managed to calm the lively and active nature fairy.

  The little fellow transformed his body into natural elements and drilled into the Ancient Tree of Life. He was busy for most of the day before he used a net bag woven with the power of natural destruction to catch several thousand sequence 9 parasites and drilled out.

  The natural fairy was still burping, with sweet green juice constantly flowing out of the corners of her mouth.

  The Queen of Wood Elf was jealous of this, because that was the most essential life essence of the Ancient Tree of Life. She only drank a little bit of it when she was pregnant with Alicia. It was obvious that the Ancient Tree of Life really liked the little guy.

  But now is not the time to be envious. The Wood Elf Queen stepped forward and carefully examined the parasites in the net.

  You should know that parasites will not form naturally in the body of the Ancient Tree of Life unless they are artificially launched at the Ancient Tree of Life.

  However, before they could be carefully examined, the parasites had dissolved on their own.

  The Queen of the Wood Elf lowered her head in silence. In fact, there were only a few suspects who could do such a thing.

  But without evidence, there is no point in doubting.

  While the Queen of the Wood Elf was still wondering which one was the most suspicious, Rosen had already found out the truth.

  He simply let his self-portrait clone use the main god's computer in the mysterious study to invade the deep web of the spiritual world, and he easily found out who was behind the scenes. Since wood elves cannot log into the deep web of the spiritual world exclusive to humans, the mastermind behind the scenes did not even clean up all traces.

  Rosen looked at the Wood Elf Queen with some pity, "I think I know who sent these parasites..."

  "…"

  The Wood Elf Queen was silent for a moment, and green teleportation halos appeared under her and Rosen's feet at the same time.

  The transmission was completed, and Rosen had arrived at the life space of the ancient tree of life.

  Even a Sequence 1 wouldn't be able to break in here without alerting them.

  "Go ahead, I'm mentally prepared."

  The Wood Elf Queen took a deep breath and said.

  "The truth is a bit cruel. The mastermind behind this is your husband..."

  Rosen sighed.

  Humans are not immortal. The extraordinary lifespan of most humans of the same sequence is far inferior to that of elves of the same level.

  When the Wood Elf Queen inherited the throne, she was already at Sequence 4, and the husband she ultimately chose was also at Sequence 4.

  The age difference is not much. According to the age and life expectancy comparison at that time, the Queen of Wood Elf is still a girl, while her husband is already middle-aged.

  After more than two thousand years, the Queen of the Wood Elf only looked to be in her twenties, while her husband had already entered old age.

  Moreover, one of them became a demigod, while the other was still a Sequence 4 and had no hope of becoming a demigod.

  The imbalance in mentality, the humility of the strong woman and the weak man, gradually gave rise to evil thoughts in her heart.

  If one could plunder enough life essence from the Ancient Tree of Life, then one could greatly extend one's lifespan and return to youth, or even use the advantage of longevity to improve oneself little by little until one becomes a demigod.

  Even if it might destroy the Ancient Tree of Life, even if it might lead to the extinction of this branch of the wood elves.

  In the face of greed, even the affection between husband and wife and between father and daughter can be sacrificed.

  If the Ancient Tree of Life cannot remove the parasites and heal itself, then there is a high probability that the Wood Elf Queen will sacrifice herself to heal the Ancient Tree of Life. At that time, Alicia, who is only Sequence 5, will only become a puppet of her father to enslave the Ancient Tree of Life.

  Contrary to Rosen's expectations, the Wood Elf Queen was not sad but angry after learning the truth.

  He found out later that the Wood Elves were originally dependent on others and had to choose a king from three candidates under pressure from the World Government, so there was no affection between them from the beginning, only the simple kinship between the children.

  Thousands of years of family affection is enough to understand a person even if the time spent together is not much.

  The Queen of the Wood Elves has long known that her husband is ambitious but incompetent, and that he constantly uses his status as husband to infringe on the interests of the Wood Elves. If it weren't for Alicia, she would have turned against him long ago. For her, this is a relief.

  A leaf of the ancient tree of life appeared in the hand of the Wood Elf Queen. When she touched it, hundreds of words appeared on it.

  Then he took out a wooden box, opened it, threw in the leaves, and waited silently.

  After a moment, the leaves in the wooden box disappeared, and after another moment, a reply letter from the World Government appeared.

  Wood elves became appendages of humans, and humans protected the wood elves. This was not because wood elves were good-looking, but because wood elves were masters at planting and cultivating extraordinary plants, and the ancient trees of life could provide extremely precious life essence.

  The husband of the Wood Elf Queen, the hereditary Duke Sahise Coben, will basically be imprisoned for life if he doesn't die this time.

  It's just a suppression of the wood elves, the world government won't interfere.

  But wanting to destroy the ancient tree of life would definitely touch the bottom line of the vested interests of the world government.

  If the world government does not give an explanation, all the subordinate races of humanity will be disheartened.

  Two days later, the World Government's investigation results came out.

  During the negotiations between the Queen of the Wood Elf and the World Government, the Cobben family lost their hereditary title, the queen husband Sahise was imprisoned until death, and the Howard family replaced the Cobben family as one of the three hereditary dukedoms of the Wood Elf Principality.

  Everyone was very satisfied with the result. The only thing that made them unhappy was probably the remaining two hereditary dukes.

  Because they haven't even competed for the next king's husband and have been eliminated early.

  The sky garden is a vine-woven terrace shaded by green leaves.

  The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves of the Ancient Tree of Life, creating a Tyndall effect and illuminating Alicia.

  Alicia lay on her side in the hammock woven from vines and leaves, allowing Rosen to admire her sleeping posture from every angle.

  The magic pen in Rosen's hand continued to sketch on the empty album, and bit by bit, he used the drawing technique to draw a completely realistic Alicia.

  Although he planned to live in the Duchy of Wood Elves permanently, it was impossible for him to stay there forever.

  But Alicia has her own responsibilities, and it is impossible for her to abandon her responsibilities as the queen's heir and follow him around the world.

  So Rosen planned to finish the painting so that he could return to the Wood Elf Kingdom whenever necessary.

  He is not in a hurry for the spiritual messenger now, the key point is that he has a substitute.

  Death Judgment can be used to curse enemies, and it can also cross long distances in the void and appear directly next to the person in the painting.

  In terms of speed alone, Death Judgment is more efficient than most spirit messengers.

  Rosen finished the last stroke, closed the void album and walked towards Alicia.

  In just a few days, he was almost able to completely conquer Alicia.

  When the innocent little white rabbit meets the cunning hungry wolf, it is destined to be eaten up from the beginning.

  The Wood Elves Principality is very closed. There are almost no high-tech products here. Even the virtual network that the Divine Wood Empire wanted to share was rejected by the Wood Elves. The reason is that the Wood Elves' high-level officials do not want ordinary Wood Elves to have too much contact with the outside world.

  The outside world is so big and so tempting that living in the Sky Garden is like being in prison in comparison.

  This is indeed the case. There is only one sky garden in the Wood Elf Principality, which is essentially designed to trap all the Wood Elves.

  Because once the wood elves leave the Sky Garden and come into contact with the human world, those who are lucky may find true love with sufficient background and embrace a happy new life, but the vast majority will be captured and secretly sold, leaving them with no way to live or die.

  Under such circumstances, Alicia had little resistance to the wonderful world outside.

  He just took Alicia to visit the imaginary movie world in the virtual world, which made Alicia more and more dependent on him. Although the queen's warning asked her to stick to the bottom line, this bottom line has been getting lower and lower under the influence of the charming tongue.

  Rosen stepped forward and opened the Void Album, allowing Alicia to appreciate the painting of the Dawn Elf he had just drawn.

  Elves are naturally fond of art. Alicia looked at the lifelike image of herself in the painting and finally couldn't help but take the initiative for the first time.

  Rosen did not use the power of his charming tongue this time, but Alicia still failed repeatedly.

  Under the glow of the morning light, Alicia gradually grew up.

  After the Queen of the Wood Elf knew that her daughter had grown up, she almost killed Rosen by expanding her rule domain.

  No matter how much they fight or quarrel, the matter has been settled and cannot be reversed.

  The Wood Elf Queen looked at Rosen hiding behind Alicia, sighed helplessly, and had to accept her fate.

  With the last obstacle gone, Rosen completely let himself go. During the day, Alicia took him to visit the various beautiful sights in the Sky Garden, and at night, the two of them enjoyed themselves in the movie world. Gradually, their feelings for each other grew deeper and deeper.

  During this period, Alicia also learned about the existence of Li Shiqing and that Rosen had many lovers.

  However, Alicia had no objection to this, because her father found many wives after his mother separated. She also had several half-brothers and younger brothers, but they had little contact with each other. Now she couldn't contact them even if she wanted to.

  Two months passed in a blink of an eye. Everyone was tired of playing and thought it necessary to take a break.

  Rosen was eating the giant beast meat skewers grilled by the gourmet hunters in the Hunter x Hunter world. With the digestive power of his gluttonous stomach, he would definitely be the first to recover. Just when he was enjoying his meal, the Queen of Wood Elf arrived.

  "Why did you think of looking for me?"

  Rosen asked in surprise, his mother-in-law has been disliking him recently.

  "I wanted to see you a few days ago. You have to be available, too."

  The Wood Elf Queen took out a fist-sized seed and threw it to Rosen.

  After Rosen caught it, he sensed it spiritually, his pupils contracted and he looked at the Wood Elf Queen in disbelief.

  He didn't expect that there were such good things in the Wood Elf Kingdom.

  What he didn't expect was that the Queen of Wood Elf would be willing to hand this thing to him.

  　PS: I reviewed it and posted it a little late
