Who told him to rush up there?.

The next morning, Eli and his group got up early, had a simple breakfast and prepared to set off.

Because there is a very long distance to walk next, and the Elf Forest is covered with dense vegetation and shady trees, it is impossible to pass through on horseback or by car. Unless you are a team of strong people who are all above the Saint level, you can fly there directly. Otherwise, no matter which country you are an ambassador from, you have to walk obediently when you get around here.

Before they set off, Grand Duke Moko came specially to see them off and sent them until they were ten miles away from the city before he said goodbye reluctantly. As a king of a country, he was able to do this, which showed that he valued them very much.

Afterwards, Eli led the delegation to continue their journey towards the Forest of Elf, and it didn't take long for them to reach the outskirts of the Forest of Elf.

Although there are many civil servants in the team, the path in the Elf Forest is not difficult to travel. It seems that someone has carefully maintained it, so there is no need to fight through thorns and bushes all the way.

Eli walked in the front, followed closely by Prince Charles and Prince Leighton. Even those in the delegation behind him who were weaker would not be unable to hold on after walking such a short distance, so the journey was relatively smooth.

After walking for a long time, they came to the depths of a denser forest. There were many huge trees standing tall and reaching into the clouds. The branches and leaves of the trees almost blocked out the sun, so that the road ahead seemed a little dim and gloomy.

Eli subconsciously used his spirit to scan and found that there was a large tree in the woods in front of him, and one of them was a druid...

A little further away, there is a druid tree, and another druid tree...

As the most important vassal state of the Elf Empire today, the territory of the Druid Kingdom is within the borders of the Elf Empire. As their group gradually penetrated deeper into the Elf Empire, they were also very likely to enter the territory of the Druid Kingdom.

"Are you guys basking in the sun? If you have nothing to do, why not give us a ride? Some of us may not be able to walk anymore."

Eli walked up to a tree that looked extremely sturdy, reached out and patted its bark, then spoke to it.

The members of the delegation, including Prince Charles and Prince Layton, were all confused. They didn't know who Lord Eli was talking to. Could it be that there were elves hiding in the woods? It couldn't be that such a huge tree was transformed by a druid, right?

"As expected of Saint Eli, your eyesight is truly extraordinary. Even an old man like me cannot hide anything from you."

Amidst the rumbling sound, the towering tree in front of Eli turned into an old tree man who was more than two meters tall. The skin on his face was wrinkled like dry bark. Although it did not look very beautiful, the druids never cared about appearance. Anyway, with their racial characteristics, no matter what they looked like, everyone was willing to interact with them.

The druids, who are very close to nature, are born with a strong affinity. They exude the breath of nature all the time. As long as they are not their hostile race, no one will have a bad idea about them when they meet them for the first time.

Prince Charles and Prince Layton were both stunned when they saw the giant tree that blocked out the sun turning into a human form. You know, although the Druids' transformation technique is magical, it is very difficult to grow up. At first, they can only change into things of their own size, and then through step-by-step practice, they can become bigger and stronger.

A towering tree like the one just now could not be transformed by anyone other than a saint of the Druid clan. How long had it been since they entered the Elf Forest, and they actually encountered a saint of the Druid clan?
No, it shouldn't be an accidental encounter. From what the saint said, it seemed like he was waiting here on purpose. Could he be sent by the Elf Empire to greet them?
"I have met Saint Eli."

At this time, several giant trees in the distance also turned into tree people. Although their aura was not as strong as the druid saint in front of Eli, they all had one foot in the holy realm and were all semi-saint-level powerhouses.

"You guys are here, so you're not really here to bask in the sun, right? If you have something to say, please tell me."

Eli felt that these powerful druids had no ill will towards them, but they did not seem like a team coming to greet them, so he asked this question.

"I have heard of Saint Yilai's great name for a long time. Today I see that he is indeed very powerful. I heard that Saint Yilai once killed Saint Muen, a traitor of our clan, on the battlefield. I happen to be his elder brother."

After the Druid Saint finished speaking, Eli had not yet reacted, but the other members of the delegation immediately became alert.

Although it is rare to hear of druids, who are the children of nature, seeking revenge, there are always bad people among the good people. Since the younger brother of this druid saint can be a traitor, there is no guarantee that his older brother, who is a traitor, may not be a good druid.

"It is true, but what you said is not quite accurate. At that time, Saint Mu En had already been demonized. In order to avoid casualties and interrogation, I had no choice but to injure him. However, he was so deeply possessed by the devil that he even committed suicide rather than be captured alive. After his death, his body and devil soul were taken away by Saint Noah of the Holy See of Light. I have not heard any news related to him since then."

Eli recalled the situation at that time and told the matter to the Druid Saint in front of him as clearly as possible. Saint Namuen died indirectly at his hands, but he did not think there was anything wrong with it. The demons should be killed, and the traitors who were possessed by the demons should be killed even more.

It's impossible that he will be spared just because he has a brother who is a Saint-level powerful person in his hometown? There is no such easy thing!

"I know Mu En's strength. After he turned into a demon, I'm afraid even I may not be his opponent. Saint Eli was able to injure him and force him to commit suicide. His strength is truly amazing."

The Druid Saint gently stroked a strand of his beard that looked like plant roots and nodded to show that he recognized Eli's strength.

When Eli heard this, his expression remained unchanged. Although he had no idea what the old man in front of him was doing, his powerful strength meant that he didn't have to worry about any accidents. After all, he was just a Saint-level powerhouse. He could suppress such strength with just a simple move. He was not afraid of any waves that the old man might cause.

"Saint Eli, don't worry too much. The old man has no ill intentions. I just want to know how my useless brother died. When his soul tablet was shattered, we thought he died at the hands of the devil. But later we heard the news of his rebellion, and we were a little surprised. After that, my clan sent elders to the Holy Mountain of Light to ask for Mu En's body. Although they were rejected, the Holy See of Light still allowed my clan elders to check it out and confirmed that Mu En had indeed been possessed by the devil."

"I have waited here on purpose today, not to cause trouble for Saint Eli, but to tell Saint Eli that my Druid clan has believed in the Goddess of Nature for generations, and there has never been a traitor in the past thousand years. Mu En's possession of the devil is purely his personal matter. My clan will give an explanation to all the other clans. I hope Saint Eli, who has witnessed the Druid traitor with his own eyes, can put aside the past grudges and not look at my clan differently in the future."

As he spoke, the Druid Saint bowed deeply to Eli. Eli did not dodge but accepted it calmly because he could do what the other party asked. The Druids were indeed the most determined anti-demon people. After all, the Druids who were close to nature and the demons who wanted to destroy everything were born in conflict and were mortal enemies that could not coexist.

The rebellion of Saint Mu En still puzzled him. He thought that he, a druid, must be a special case. It couldn't be that the other tribes were fighting against the demons, and the druids, who were the most hostile to the demons, were the first to betray, right?
He had personal experience in his previous life as proof that the Druid Kingdom was destroyed by the demons before the Dawn Empire.

Of course, the same is true for the Elven Empire. "I believe in the steadfast faith of the Druids, and will always regard the Druid Kingdom as a loyal ally of the Dawn Empire."

Eli spoke quite seriously at first, and then after seeing a smile on the other party's wrinkled face, he added two more sentences.

"But since you are all here, could you please escort my subordinates? They are weak and it will be difficult for them to travel through this dense forest for a long time."

After Eli finished speaking, he pointed at the weakest members of the delegation. They had almost exhausted their strength on the journey, and if they continued they would definitely drag down the main force.

"We will take care of this little thing, Muken. I'll leave it to you."

Eli's request was no big deal; it was just a piece of cake for the druid who was skilled in transformation.

At the command of the Druid Saint, a semi-saint Druid at the back twisted his body and turned into a roc in the blink of an eye. He spread his broad wings and uttered human words from his bird's mouth: "Get on the bird!"

The roc transformed by the druid half-saint is not an ordinary roc. Its size is comparable to that of an airplane on Blue Star. Not to mention Eli's delegation, it can even accommodate another team of the same size.

The back of the roc is broad and flat. Eli directed the people to climb up one by one. When the last person got on the bird, Eli patted the bird's legs, indicating that it was time to take off.

As for him... Can't I fly?
With the local druids leading the way, Eli didn't even need to release his soul to explore the way. He just had to fly along beside them.

The semi-saint druid could fly very fast. The journey that was originally planned to take nearly a day was completed in less than twenty minutes. As the roc landed, Eli saw the capital of the Elf Empire in the distance.

The political and cultural center of the Elf Empire is called the imperial capital, but in fact it doesn't even have real city walls. To put it bluntly, it is just a giant settlement shrouded in green vines and should not be called a city.

But the elves were born like this, and like the druids, they were also extremely close to nature, so they all lived in tree houses that had been properly renovated, from the high priest of Her Majesty the Queen to ordinary elven archers.

This so-called empire not only has no palace, but it doesn't even have a decent street. If it weren't for the fact that there has been some exchanges between the Elf Empire and other countries in recent years, they would probably not even bother to repair the very few buildings in the "city".

These buildings are specially designed for temporary residence of diplomatic missions from various countries. Due to the relative isolation of the Elf Empire, various countries do not even have embassies in the Elf Empire. Normally, messengers must be sent to communicate in advance. Unless it is necessary, the Elf Empire does not welcome outsiders to enter.

If this festival was not so special that representatives from all countries had to be invited to participate, the Elf Empire would not have allowed so many foreign races to visit at the same time.

"Ahead is the center of the Elf Empire, a no-fly zone. Please follow us and walk slowly."

After all the members of the delegation had landed from their birds, the druid saint who had been flying alongside them made a "please" gesture to Eli and the others, and then took the lead to lead the way.

They took a good rest on the big bird along the way, and the rest of the journey was not far, so the delegation entered the city with the druids quite easily.

Looking from the sky, the capital of the Elf Empire looks like a makeshift troupe. Now entering it from the ground, I suddenly realize that it is really a makeshift troupe.

The gate of such an important capital city is just a tree hole, which can only accommodate four or five people walking side by side at the same time. It does not look as grand as the second most powerful country in the continent.

After entering the city, the road is just an ordinary dirt road, but it looks very clean, and even if you step heavily on it, it will not stir up dust.

There were not many pedestrians walking in the city, and almost all of them were beautiful elven girls. Eli's performance was okay at the moment, but many young people in the delegation were staring at them, unwilling to miss any passerby.

Here, even ordinary passers-by are considered beauties among humans. As the rumors say, the Elf Empire is a paradise that only men can dream of. Even if this mission fails to accomplish anything, just walking on this street is worth it.

Ah~~ It’s worthy of being the Elf Empire. Even the air is so fragrant and sweet. I feel like if I stay here for a few more days, I might not even want to go home.

Eli himself was not so happy that he lost his mind just by seeing a few beautiful women passing by, but he had to admit that the air in the Elf Empire was indeed sweet. Of course, this whole "city" was full of flowers, plants and trees, and there were no dead branches or leaves mixed in, so of course the air was sweet...

"Oh~ Look over there, another beauty is coming..."

"This is the high-level beauty of the elves, much prettier than passers-by."

At this time, Eli heard the low exclamations of the delegation members. After all, as envoys of the empire, they had to maintain their superficial decency to a certain extent. Even if they were really amazed, they would only let out a few low exclamations.

When Eli followed their astonished gaze and looked into the distance, he was quite surprised to find that the person who came was his old elf, Wendy Elena.

"Welcome to the Elven Empire, Mr. Eli."

The beautiful elf lady walked over slowly, and when she got close to Eli, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face.

Then a small hand wrapped in a pure white silk glove was handed to Eli, as if testing his reaction. (End of this chapter)
