Chapter 176 The Initial Witch and King Eden (3k)
Amid the doubts of the high elves, Roselórien did not give any further answers.
She just looked up quietly at the sacred tree above her head.
There was no wind, but the entire sky of the old capital was filled with the sound of breeze rustling through leaves.
The elves have not seen such a situation for a long, long time.
It has been so long that the elves almost forgot the last time such a situation happened.
But soon, they will slowly remember it.
-
Deep in that unknown sewer, there should be a filthy place that all that is sacred should avoid.
But it shines with the purest light of life.
That is the blessing of the sacred tree.
It is both a gift to the ancient king who finally returns to his side, and a gift to the lost tribesmen who can finally return home.
To celebrate today, the girls threw a nice dinner using the ingredients Moon brought.
Their craftsmanship is very good.
Although it certainly can't be compared with those chefs in the royal capital.
But it was enough to make Moon, who was used to eating all kinds of delicacies, feel very good.
At this moment, Moon was holding a steamed bun made of Landa vegetables and watching from the side, while constantly asking the woman next to him about some more detailed matters.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet."
"Ah, I'm sorry I'm telling you my name now. My name is An Xia. As for my last name, please forget it. I haven't had a last name since I was born."
She had a home and parents, but all these things were gone the moment she was born.
Her parents didn't even wait to raise her to adulthood and sold her directly to the Iron Sheet Merchant Guild.
Afterwards, An Xia went back to the home in her memory, but there was nothing there.
I heard from the neighbors that since selling her, her parents moved to a bigger city.
Leading a life of luxury and debauchery.
"I'm sorry to mention that."
"No, you don't have to apologize. This can't be blamed on you."
After the woman named An Xia finished speaking, she asked Mo En:
"You want to ask more than that, right?"
"Yes, you have been here for more than a hundred years. Do you know why such things only happen in the Orsay Peninsula?"
In Moon's understanding, the so-called atavism would never happen.
Once elves intermarry with other races, they will lose all elven characteristics in just three generations.
As for them, their parents can undoubtedly be said to be pure-blooded humans.
At most, there was an elf among my ancestors many years ago.
But at the moment, the blood relationship between them and the elves has become so distant that they are just creatures of the same world.
But even in such a situation, an incredible phenomenon of atavism occurred.
This completely breaks the norm, and this is a miracle only limited to the Orsay Peninsula.
There must be some secret hidden in this.
From common sense, this was most likely the work of the Steel Heart Church.
After all, this is their parish, and the buying and selling of these girls is a source of wealth for them.
But Moon felt that because of this, it was not possible to assume that this was the work of the Steel Heart Church.
Because it's too obvious.
Moon felt that the role played by the Steel Heart Church in this was most likely just a beneficiary that happened to discover the situation and then took advantage of it.
Otherwise, given that guy's personality, it would be hard for Moon to believe that such a miracle would be confined to such a small area as the Osay Peninsula.
As for the Holy Tree, it had no idea what was going on.
During these years, she served as a secret protector and reached a tacit balance with the Steelheart Church.
She would not actively interfere, but equally, once the girls came to her, the Steelheart would exercise restraint.
If I really want to know something deeper, I'm afraid I can only ask Shadow.
She should have known better.
"That's it."
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you."
Moen waved his hand and smiled:
"Nothing, I'm just asking casually. The general direction won't change, don't worry."

When the next day came, the president of the Iron Chamber of Commerce was in his safe house cursing the people in front of him.
"Waste, a bunch of damn waste!"
"I must be blind to give you food and money to spend!"
"It's been a whole day, and you're still in our territory, but you haven't found anything!"
He was like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth in front of them, uttering a few angry curses as he walked:
"Do you really understand in your heads how big a deal this is?"
"That's a royal noble. Baratheon might have already started investigating this matter!"
"Do you know how big a deal this will be if we are found out?"
The Ironhide Guild is an affiliate of the Steelheart Church.
Then a dynastic noble was attacked by them in their chamber of commerce!
If this matter is blown up a little, it will become a confrontation between the Supreme Beings.
Your Majesties are definitely not willing to pay for their own stupidity, so this idiot of mine will definitely be handed over.
After all, all this was his own decision.
There is no reason for a superior to protect a fool who is disobedient and causes trouble for him.
In response to the Chamber of Commerce President's scolding, one of his subordinates finally couldn't help but mutter:
"Isn't this your own fault?" "What?!"
But he still heard the whisper. The Chamber of Commerce President rushed to him with his eyes wide open, grabbed him by the collar and yelled:
"You mean you blame me?"
"No, sir, this, this."
"Idiot, if I didn't want to save some gold for the Chamber of Commerce, how could I do such a stupid thing?"
"Do you know that the price of gold in the sky has increased by more than ten times this year?"
This answer was indeed beyond their understanding. Although they knew that the president probably wanted to take it for himself, they knew even more clearly that this piece of heavenly gold that had increased more than ten times in value must be real.
But why? !
After a brief moment of astonishment, they all figured out the answer—the holy cities of the two Majesties had been destroyed.
In order to rebuild the holy city and make up for the losses, the church will definitely find a way to collect wealth from all over the place to make up for the losses.
This is undoubtedly the reason why Tianshangjin has doubled so rapidly.
Although this means that they will probably have to live a hard life for a few years in the future.
But it was also the first time that they were grateful for being so far away from the center of the parish.
Everyone knows why the holy city was destroyed.
But obviously, I can't say much about this matter.
They were so busy with the auction recently that they almost forgot about this incident.
Or, they deliberately made themselves forget.
After all, Meereen is obviously not as important as the Metropolis in the eyes of the Supreme.
"You seem distressed."
Amid the Chamber of Commerce president's rage, a woman whose voice was full of seduction walked into the room.
It was still the woman named Lilith, but this time, she was not wearing the extremely eye-catching high-slit cheongsam.
Instead, she changed into a more seductive red backless dress. The smooth satin fabric fits her exquisite curves like a second skin. The neckline of the dress is even low to her belly, revealing a large area of white that is simply impossible to take your eyes off.
The back is completely exposed, with a little bit of the hips exposed. All the lines are as beautiful as a work of art carefully carved by a sculptor. The slender waist is gently tied with a black ribbon, which highlights her graceful and charming figure.
Without a doubt, this is another piece of clothing that you cannot wear outside to meet other people.
The men couldn't help but lower their heads, for fear that this overly charming woman would make them look bad in public.
But even though I kept telling them not to look, they still couldn't help but glance sideways from time to time.
Even succubus might not be as dazzling as her!
The Chamber of Commerce President was so angry about Lilith's arrival that he almost laughed:
"How dare you come here, bitch. If you had taken action earlier yesterday, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"
In response, Lilith just smiled with pity:
"What a poor stupid dog."
"you!"
The Chamber of Commerce president became increasingly angry, but he suppressed his anger because Lilith was the only demigod they had.
He can't beat it.
"Okay, okay, since we work together, I'm here to help you."
This sentence gave the Chamber of Commerce President infinite hope:
"Can you help me?"
"Of course, but I need a little reward!"
Looking at the woman with a mischievous smile, the Chamber of Commerce president felt like he had seen a fox demon and knew very well the compensation she was asking for.
But that thing was what caught her.
It was given to him by a saint of the church specifically so that he could keep a check on this woman.
Do you really want to give it to her?
"You broke your promise yesterday."
"It's not that I broke my promise, but you never told me that you actually hid a secret passage here!"
"Otherwise, they can't get away."
The Chamber of Commerce president was choked.
He deliberately concealed the secret passage so that he could have a way out, but he didn't expect it to become his biggest flaw.
He wanted to say something else.
But the woman's voice continued:
"What could be more important than overcoming the difficulties we are facing?"
These words hooked his soul like a spell.
After his throat moved several times, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, I agree!"
"I need to get paid first."
"impossible!"
Lilith knew this was the bottom line, but it didn't matter, she had a solution:
"I swear in the name of the Initial Witch and King Eden, as long as you give me that thing, I will definitely tell you how to solve all this!"
Swearing an oath in the name of God and the King is undoubtedly the most backed-up oath in this world.
So the Chamber of Commerce President immediately said without any worries:
"Okay, come with me!"
Such an answer undoubtedly made Lilith feel extremely happy.
After throwing a coquettish glance at the men behind her, she left with a big laugh as the men all bowed their heads.
She likes this feeling.
