Chapter 111: This Task is a Bit Complex

What Liu Xinxin hadn't expected was that the Elves' highly respected and powerful elder-level prophet didn't live at the top of the Life Tree.

Instead, she resided in an unassuming corner.

The thick trunk of the Life Tree was like a grand road.

At a branching point, a small wooden house was nestled.

There were some flowers and plants beside the house, making it a quiet and pleasant spot.

After the guards brought Liu Xinxin, they left on their own.

Liu Xinxin glanced in the direction of the small wooden house, then lifted her foot and walked over.

But after a few steps, she suddenly heard a kind and amiable voice from diagonally behind her: "Young lady, in the Human race, both your level and profession must be among the top tier, correct?"

Hmm?

Liu Xinxin was startled and turned her head to look.

Only then did she realize that in the flower patch diagonally behind her, an Elf elder was watering flowers with a small shovel.

Although she was elderly, as an Elf, her youthful beauty was still discernible.

"Are you the Prophet?" Liu Xinxin asked.

"That would be me," the elder said as she stood up, then casually added, "Let's go sit over there and talk. Don't worry if the bucket spills; there's a spiritual spring on this Elf Tree, so it can be refilled at any time. There's no need to mind it."

Bucket?

Liu Xinxin was a little confused, thinking the elder was just telling her to be careful.

So, Liu Xinxin shifted her body to the side, making way.

But unexpectedly, with that slight movement, she just happened to bump into a small wooden bucket behind her heel.

The small wooden bucket tipped over, and the water inside spilled all over the ground.

Liu Xinxin was dumbfounded.

She was good at calculating data and preferred to believe what she saw rather than what she heard.

But what was this now?

Foreseeing the future?

This Elf Prophet was that amazing!

"You... you can foresee the future?" Liu Xinxin asked in surprise.

The elder, however, chuckled.

She said, "The future? The future is elusive, but the fascinating part is, if I hadn't reminded you, would you still have bumped into the bucket? Would the foreseen future still have come true?"

To be honest, it was a bit abstract.

"Come, sit here, young lady," the elder said, pointing to a few small wooden stools nearby.

Liu Xinxin did as she was told.

The elder then sat opposite Liu Xinxin.

As soon as she sat down, she introduced herself: "My name is Haili, and I am the Prophet of the Elves. What is your name, young lady?"

"Liu Xinxin," Liu Xinxin replied truthfully.

But in her heart, she was thinking, 'Aren't you supposed to know?'

But at the same time.

She also remembered!

This Haili was not only the Prophet of the Elves but also the Great Elder of the Elves' Elder Council!

An absolutely important figure among the Elves!

Haili poured Liu Xinxin a cup of water.

Only then did she speak:

"The Elf High Priest, this profession also exists among the Elves, but its abilities are far inferior to those of the transformed professionals among you Humans."

"This incident concerns the survival of the Elves, so it's a Global summons."

"Tina should have already told you, but with her personality, she probably wouldn't be direct."

"It's understandable that you're curious about the details of the incident."

...

Haili guessed Liu Xinxin's thoughts thoroughly, without Liu Xinxin even needing to speak them aloud.

Liu Xinxin nodded and said, "I do want to know exactly what happened. Participating in battle with the Elf Queen tomorrow? A battle that the Elf Queen herself is involved in is naturally not a small affair."

It was no exaggeration to say it concerned the survival of the Elves.

Haili nodded.

She continued:

"That child, Tina, was born from the Life Tree as an Upper Elf over five hundred years ago. At that time, the Humans were still somewhat different from you Humans after the world became digitized. I have no prejudice against Humans, but that child, Tina, has experienced several unequal transactions with Humans, so even if you have transformed into Elf professionals, the impure Elf bloodline will still be criticized by Tina. This is understandable."

After explaining the Elf Queen's prejudice against Humans.

Haili continued: "The Elves are dependent on the Life Tree, but eight hundred years ago, before Tina was born, the Elves split into two factions."

One faction advocated for peace, quietly multiplying and living within the Elves' territory.

The other faction was warlike, believing they should invade Human territory to expand the Elves' influence.

This story sounded old-fashioned, but that was the reality.

The two factions eventually experienced a great war.

The defeated party was expelled from the Elves' territory.

"Deprived of the nourishment of the Life Tree, the expelled Elves began to degenerate, falling into being Dark Elves, no longer worshipping the Goddess of Life."

"But the Elves who remained didn't fare well either. The Elves have two major roots: one is the Life Tree, and the other is the magic stone."

"The expelled Dark Elves stole the magic stone that sustained the growth of the Life Tree."

"The magic stone is useless to the Dark Elves, and the Life Tree has been gradually declining over the years."

"As the Elf Queen, Tina's lifelong dream is to retrieve the magic stone and re-nourish the Life Tree."

"Otherwise, the Elves won't be able to last another hundred years."

...

Liu Xinxin's face changed drastically as she listened.

She knew this was part of the quest progression, the storyline.

But she hadn't expected it to be so serious!

So she quickly asked, "Then what exactly is this incident?"

Haili smiled and said, "To retrieve the magic stone, Tina took a desperate gamble and challenged the Dark Elves to battle. Tomorrow at noon, Dark Elf Queen Si Luoluo will lead the Dark Elf to the confrontation."

This was the first direct confrontation between the Natural Elves and the Dark Elf!

The stakes were the Life Tree and the magic stone!

A true matter of racial life and death!

Both the Natural Elves and the Dark Elf knew that the Life Tree and the magic stone were indispensable!

Only the winning side would be qualified to control both Elf holy artifacts.

This battle sounded incredibly grim, but Liu Xinxin's expression was a bit strange.

Dark Elf, didn't this perfectly align with Lu Ran's abilities?

If it really came to a fight, if Lu Ran were there, he could take down the Dark Elf Queen with just a glance!

Although she didn't know the Dark Elf Queen's combat power, taking Tina as an example, Tina was the Elves' biggest BOSS at Lv100!

The Dark Elf Queen was probably not much different. If Lu Ran could take her down, he would simply be the Global's number one pet!

At the same time, Lu Ran could also directly control the Dark Elf race and retrieve the magic stone.

By then, Tina might even be willing to give the Elf Wings to Lu Ran!

Everyone would be happy!

Thinking of this, Liu Xinxin looked up at Haili.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "You are the Prophet of the Elves; you can probably sense something in the ethereal."

Haili pondered, "It's hard to say, hard to explain, but if you have your own ideas, I can help you."

After speaking.

She reached out and pulled out an octagonal crystal badge.

And said, "This is the Elf Envoy's identification badge. Humans with this item can gain permission to enter the Elves' territory, which is what you Human professionals refer to as territory dungeon access."

As expected!

This Haili really had something up her sleeve!

"I understand. This Elf crisis will definitely turn into a blessing!"

Taking the Elf Envoy's identification badge, Liu Xinxin said solemnly.

She had been struggling with how to get Lu Ran involved, but she hadn't expected the matter to be resolved so easily!

And Lu Ran could also soar to greatness with this opportunity!
