Chapter 1641 Bustling Market (Part )
Chapter 1641 Bustling Market (Part )
"Then you don't have to worry about it."
Jasmine lowered her pink hood and said in a mysterious manner, "You just need to know that you cannot represent the entire forest elves, and you are not qualified to dictate to His Majesty the Human Race!"
"This……"
The chief ranger of the Silver Maple Garden was speechless for a long time.
From Jasmine's words, he was able to judge that the former must also be a member of the forest elves, and his status was probably not low, otherwise it would be impossible for him to know about the Elf Throne Arena.
Moreover, from the former's tone he could further judge that the former was definitely not from the Silver Maple Court, but came from another forest elf kingdom.
Under this premise, if he continued to confront the former, it would most likely turn into a dispute between the two forest elf kingdoms, and this responsibility was obviously not something he could afford.
"Could it be that the human emperor is actually supported by a certain forest elf kingdom? How is this possible?"
The Silver Maple Garden's forest ranger frowned on his handsome face, and looked a little doubtful for a moment.
It stands to reason that the major forest elf kingdoms would not act alone in matters involving diplomacy. If that were not the case, why would this pink hooded man stand beside the human emperor and speak for him?
"This girl is quite capable."
Seeing that Jasmine had frightened the other party, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lei Xiao was very clear about Jasmine's identity.
As the chief forest singer of the Ancient Tree Courtyard, with the family's declining status, Jasmine is at best just an insignificant symbol and has no power at all, otherwise she would not have disappeared for a hundred years and not been taken seriously by the clan, and no one has even been sent to look for her.
However, Jasmine's family was once a wealthy elven family in the Ancient Tree Courtyard, and their status was far higher than that of ordinary high-ranking elven nobles, so it was not surprising that she knew some things that only the high-ranking elves knew.
"Since you know you are wrong, why don't you retreat immediately?"
Jasmine crossed her arms and raised her chin again.
Hearing this, the chief ranger of the Silver Maple Courtyard was at a loss for a moment. Where was the arrogance just now? His whole body froze on the spot.
He clearly understood that as the representative of the Silver Maple Court, if he retreated in disgrace, it would undoubtedly affect the reputation of the Silver Maple Court. However, if he did not leave, it would most likely evolve into a conflict within the forest elves. He was obviously caught in a dilemma.
Seeing the tall elf man who was looking down on people just now being silenced by the mysterious strong man accompanying the human king, the independent strong men who were watching the fun around were stunned at first, and then they all suddenly understood.
I didn't expect that there was a shadow of a certain forest elf behind His Majesty the Human Race. It seems that choosing to join His Majesty the Human Race is indeed the most correct choice!
All of a sudden, the whole scene became more and more lively. More and more independent strong men began to rush to sign up, surrounding Hollis and Lila and others who were in charge of statistics.
At this moment, another discordant voice suddenly sounded: "Haha, it's just a insignificant forest singer in the Ancient Tree Courtyard. This ranger can't represent the forest elves. Can you, a guy who has long been forgotten by the tribe, represent them?"
Following the sound, I saw another group of proud forest elves appearing beside Forest Ranger Silver Maple. The young elf man in the lead looked more mature and stable than the former, but also obviously more domineering.
He was dressed in a emerald robe inlaid with gold edges, and his every move exuded the majesty of a demigod. He was the source of the voice.
"I didn't expect you to come here too."
After being recognized by the other party, Jasmine took off her pink hood, revealing a disdainful white face. From her eyes, it was obvious that she was not unfamiliar with the other party.
This is indeed the case. This newly emerged team of forest elves comes from the Mirror Lake Ring, which is also one of the five major forest elf kingdoms, and has the closest relationship with the Silver Maple Court.
The elf man in the gold-rimmed robe at the head is the chief forest priest of the Mirror Lake Ring, also known as the Chief Mirror Lake Singer.
It is not difficult to tell from the name that the status of his family is equivalent to that of Jasmine's family. Both are priests in the clan. The only difference from Jasmine is that the other party has not completely declined in the clan and still occupies a place among the high-level elf nobles. It is not surprising that he appears here.
"It turns out that he is from the Mirror Lake Ring, and his status is the same as Jasmine's."
Lei Xiao quickly figured out the other party's identity through the elf emblem engraved on his chest.
According to Jasmine's unreserved introduction, Lei Xiao had already learned that since the Silver Moon Era, although the major forest elf kingdoms have been walking side by side, comparisons and competitions between them still exist, and sometimes even develop to the point of tit-for-tat.
This naturally included their respective priest clans. Back then, the Forest Singer clan to which Jasmine belonged once dominated the five major forest elf kingdoms, suppressing the other clans so much that they could not raise their heads and were humiliated every time they competed.
And now, with the Linyu singer becoming increasingly decadent, opponents like the Jinghu singer will naturally take advantage of the situation when they find an opportunity, in order to gloat over his misfortune and show off their own strength.
"It turns out he's just a singer of the ancient tree garden. I thought I ran into some big shot."
Chief Forest Ranger Yinfeng had obviously heard about the situation of Jasmine's family. He sneered and said, "Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty when you are such a tiny existence that even your own family doesn't like you?"
"That's right, he's just an insignificant guy. Lin Yuge has also fallen. The chief is only half a step to the seventh level, but he is still here and doesn't know his place."
The Mirror Lake singer looked down at Jasmine and said calmly, “If it were me, I would also have to cover my face tightly to avoid embarrassing myself in public!”
At this point, the Mirror Lake singer seemed to remember something and added leisurely, "Oh, I forgot that your family has long lost all its dignity."
"You are nothing but a defeated general of mine back then!"
Jasmine clenched her fists, and a hint of anger welled up in her starry eyes.
Back then in the Elf Throne Arena, in order to maintain the last dignity of the Forest Singer, the talented Jasmine had tried her best to defeat the younger generation of priests from the other four elven kingdoms, including the Mirror Lake Singer in front of her.
At that time, both sides were still at the half-step seventh level.
But hundreds of years have passed, and Jasmine is still here, while the other party has already stepped into the threshold of demigod.
This was not because the other party had a higher talent, but because the Ancient Tree Courtyard had not invested any more cultivation resources in Jasmine. On the contrary, the other party was still the pride of the clan, so it was not surprising that this situation occurred.
Perhaps it was at that time that the other party, who had been brooding over it, quietly remembered Jasmine's voice and recognized Jasmine at the first opportunity.
"Things are different now, just like the Lin Yu singer back then, aren't they?"
The Mirror Lake Singer looked at Jasmine with disdain and sneered, “Or, do you want to continue the competition from that year? Then I might as well teach you a lesson on behalf of the Ancient Tree Courtyard!”
"The people in our Ancient Tree Courtyard don't need other forest elves to take care of them!"
An unfamiliar crisp sound was heard, and the third team of forest elves walked out from the crowd.
The leader was a slender and graceful female elf warrior. Judging from her leather armor and tight clothes as well as her extremely majestic aura, she was obviously an elf archer demigod.
"Sister Helena!"
Seeing the person coming, Jasmine's eyes lit up and she walked straight towards the person, saying with a look of joy, "I didn't expect that this time you would represent the clan to attend this market!"
"Jasmine, it's been a long time."
The forest elf named Helena touched Jasmine's head and also looked delighted.
Then, she looked worried again. While checking whether Jasmine had any injuries, she asked, "Where have you been for the past hundred years, girl?"
"It's a long story, but at least everything is fine."
Jasmine chuckled and raised her eyebrows slightly, saying, "Don't worry, I won't be in danger that easily."
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
Helena nodded heavily, and then a trace of guilt surged on her fair face. She said sadly, "I'm sorry. Over the past hundred years, I have asked the Elders to send someone to find you every once in a while, but I have never received a response. And it is difficult for me to extricate myself from the clan..."
"It doesn't matter. After all, my sister has an important responsibility in the clan."
Jasmine waved her hand slightly, then looked at Lei Xiao and said, "I am living a good life now. I can eat all kinds of delicious food every day!"
"So, it has been His Majesty the Human who has been taking care of you all this time?"
Helena had obviously heard of Lei Xiao and nodded slightly to him to show her gratitude.
Lei Xiao nodded in response and smiled faintly.
Regarding this powerful elf named Helena, I have heard Jasmine mention it many times.
In the ancient tree courtyard, with the complete decline of Jasmine's family, she was one of the few high-ranking elf nobles who were still willing to interact with Jasmine. She could be said to be Jasmine's best friend and neighbor sister who had grown up with her.
"Jasmine, you've been away from home for so long, it's time to go back and visit."
Helena restrained her smile, nodded to Jasmine and said, "It's a good opportunity for you to take advantage of this Fantasy Film Market and go home with me in a while, okay?"
"No, I don't want to go back."
Jasmine decisively rejected the other party's proposal and frowned, "My residence has been taken away, so how can I still have a home?"
After saying that, Jasmine looked at Chief Silver Maple Forest Ranger and Mirror Lake Singer and said, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t be looked down upon by these guys.”
After hearing Jasmine mention them, both of them shrugged slightly, with no intention of making things difficult for the former any further.
Helena was one of the young elves who ranked in the top three in the last Elf Throne Arena. She also had a good family background. Whether in the Ancient Tree Courtyard or among the young generation of forest elves, she had some weight. Naturally, the two of them would not openly oppose the former.
"Don't pay attention to them, let's just have a good chat."
Helena took Jasmine's hand and nodded to Lei Xiao, indicating that she would borrow Jasmine temporarily. Lei Xiao still responded with a smile and watched the two leave the scene.
On the other side, the other two teams of forest elves, feeling bored, did not stay any longer and turned around and left.
"Okay, let's continue shopping."
Lei Xiao looked at the departing back of Silver Maple Forest Ranger meaningfully, and then nodded to the strong men around him.
When the time is right, I will fulfill my promise and seek justice for Jiang Xi and the half-elves of the Yuebai tribe.
But just as Lei Xiao was trying to calm his mind, a leisurely and unfamiliar voice sounded behind him again.
"The human emperor really has some tricks up his sleeve. He almost caused a civil war among the three forest elf kingdoms. What a pity. It would have been fun."
Hearing this sudden voice, Lei Xiao looked back and found that this time it was also a team of powerful elves that appeared in front of him.
However, this team of powerful elves, both men and women, had their faces smeared with sparkling gold powder, and their equipment was mainly pure white and gold accessories. Their identities were self-evident; they were a team of powerful light elves.
"What do you mean by this?"
Lei Xiao frowned slightly, and heard a hint of picking fault in the other party's tone.
You know, he has nothing to do with the light elves, and the only people he has contact with are the light half-elves such as Ruth.
"Nothing, I just want to remind you to keep a low profile, it will be good for you."
The leading light elf man had a blank expression on his face, but had a bright smile on his face.
Just now, he had already discovered that among those individual warriors who were vying to join Lei Xiao's army, there were many powerful light elves.
Although these insignificant individual warriors were not worth mentioning in his eyes, he still found it hard to accept the fact that these guys were so respectful to a mere human.
After hearing his voice, those independent warriors were surprised, but they quickly reacted one after another.
Especially the powerful light elves among them, they all lowered their heads, fearing that the other party would point their spearheads at themselves. The other party's status was not low among the light elves, and it was obviously not someone they could afford to provoke.
"So that's it."
Lei Xiao naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words immediately and responded calmly: "Thank you for your reminder, but this is my own business, so you don't have to worry about it."
"What? Does the human emperor want to continue to act so high-profile?"
A hint of gloom welled up in the eyes of the light elf man, and he still spoke in that emotionless tone: "You should know that we are a first-class force standing at the top of all races. No force has ever ignored our friendly reminders."
Looking at the expressionless face of the light elf man, the group of independent warriors couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The other party is not giving a friendly reminder, this is simply a warning to the human king! (End of this chapter)
