Chapter 679: Going to the Elven Capital

The elven ambassador, known for his refined demeanor in the Maple Principality, suddenly stood up from the sofa, his face filled with shock, abandoning all decorum.

Incredulously, he repeated, “Are you saying this is true?”

Ji Chen nodded solemnly and replied, “I discovered this in a semi-sealed mystic realm in the southern Pacific Ocean. You should know that I have a deep-sea dragon whale hero in my ranks, and she gained knowledge from the bloodline memories there.

I assure you, there’s no falsehood in what I’m saying. If possible, please convey this message to the Elven Queen.”

Miligas looked at Ji Chen with seriousness, devoid of any playful expression, and rubbed his nose in frustration before sitting back on the sofa.

“Your Excellency, I don’t mean to doubt you, but the gravity of this matter is beyond ordinary. Without sufficient evidence, I’m afraid…”

“What if I have irrefutable evidence?” Ji Chen interjected.

Miligas appeared skeptical. “Do you really have it?”

He didn’t doubt Ji Chen, but the situation was simply too unbelievable, to the point where no one would readily believe it. Demons had been sealed by the gods of order in the depths of chaos. If demons were truly invading again, why hadn’t the Mother Goddess and other orderly deities sent divine warnings?

Moreover, just over a decade ago, the Mother Goddess had issued an oracle to remind them of their responsibility as orderly races to combat evil races.

The Mother Goddess and other orderly deities were still present, so how could demons find an opportunity?

Ji Chen wasn’t surprised by Miligas’s reaction, as he himself had doubts until he confirmed the demon invasion.

After all, the reappearance of demons, a race that had disappeared for hundreds of thousands of years and was considered taboo by some, sounded absurd.

“While I was searching for evidence in that semi-sealed mystic realm, we were surrounded by a large number of demonized creatures. The Dreadlord Balzarna even sent an alchemical-reconstructed being to kill all witnesses. In the end, they even attempted to destroy the mystic realm to annihilate us in the void.”

Ji Chen paused and continued, “I unintentionally awakened the consciousness of the alchemical-reconstructed being, who was once a powerful human. He is now waiting just outside Maple Harbor.”

Seeing that Ji Chen didn’t appear to be lying, Miligas hesitated for a moment and said, “Then please… no, please take me to see him in person.”

Ji Chen agreed readily, “Time is of the essence; let’s depart immediately.”

Miligas nodded, and a carriage was arranged promptly. They set off for Maple Harbor.

However, as they entered Maple Harbor, they witnessed squads of heavily armed elven soldiers rushing through the streets.

“What’s happening? Why are so many soldiers mobilized?” Miligas inquired, pulling back the curtain of the carriage.

An elven warrior guarding the outside shook his head and said, “We’re not sure for now. Let me find out.”

The elven warrior quickly stopped a passing squad of soldiers. These soldiers, upon seeing that they were being halted by an elf, didn’t dare to be neglectful. They noticed the direction pointed towards a well-guarded elven carriage and showed even greater respect.

“Our lord has some questions for you,” the squad leader hastily nodded. “It’s my honor to assist our lord in any way.”

The elven warrior didn’t say anything and signaled for him to follow.

Under the guidance of the elven warrior, the squad leader approached the carriage.

The curtain was lifted from inside, revealing an elegant elven face.

The squad leader’s expression changed; this elf… was the ambassador of the Silvermoon Dynasty to the Maple Principality. How could such a prominent figure be here in Maple Harbor?

But what surprised him even more was that beside this highest-ranking elf in the entire Maple Principality, there was a human sitting.

Who was this person? How could they be sharing a carriage with the elven ambassador?

“What’s happening? Why are so many of you mobilized?” Miligas asked calmly.

The squad leader hurriedly replied, “There’s been a humanoid monster near the port area that has already injured several people and poses a threat to Maple Harbor.”

“Your Excellency, it’s best for you to stay away from the port for now. I heard that the creature is quite powerful, and I’m afraid it might harm you.”

“No need to worry. What does this humanoid monster look like?” Miligas waved his hand.

“It seems to have undergone body modifications, like a fusion of a human with some kind of creature. It’s accompanied by some powerful wyverns…”

“That must be the alchemical-reconstructed being I mentioned earlier.”

Ji Chen was somewhat puzzled. Wasn’t Lainekel supposed to stay outside Maple Harbor? How did he come close and get into a conflict with the Maple soldiers?

Miligas hesitated for a moment and then said, “There must be some misunderstanding. Let’s go there now and try to resolve the conflict.”

“You lead the way immediately.”

“Yes!” The squad leader saluted and began to lead the way.

The carriage advanced along the cobblestone road, making a clattering sound, but the ride inside remained smooth. The excellent craftsmanship and the use of shock-absorbing runes kept the carriage stable.

They soon arrived at a dock in the harbor, where they saw a squadron of Sea Crystal Wyverns circling nearby and Lainekel standing on the dock..
