Chapter 637 - The Elven Royal Family

”Hah…” Chief Moon let out a long sigh. He still looked at the moon and opened his mouth again. ”What about The Kirin and The Dark Tribe?”

”Thatʼs the next bad news for us. I saw Kalliyan and part of the Dark Tribe within the Empireʼs force. I donʼt see Igor with them, though.” Grand Elder Auron furrowed his eyes slightly when he mentioned Igor.

”It seems My Daughter truly has a sharp sense. She guessed everything with those little clues.” A proud smile formed on his face before it turned into a sad smile. ”What about the Angel Lusha talked about? Did you see her?” An Angel with seven pairs of wings should be easy to find.

”I donʼt see The Angel.” Grand Elder Auron shook his head and made a worried look. ”But Kalliyan and The Emperor discovered me, but they did not chase me. I feel like they were letting me see their force purposely. Just like Moonlight Maiden said, they wanted us to realize that we canʼt fight them.”

Chief Moon looked at the two Grand Elders. ”Since Uncle Olming has confirmed that Lusha did not lie, The Angel is most likely true as well. So, what do you think we should do?”

Grand Elder Olming was the first one to voice his thoughts. ”I think we should discuss this with The Elven. I think we have a cha-” Before he finished his words, Grand Elder Auron cut him off midway. ”So, do you want to bring the tribe down with us, Olming?”

Auron then shot a cold gaze toward his brother. ”Unless you have a way to kill Kalliyan, we canʼt win against them. Our three with the Elders may contend tow to tow with Kalliyan, but we still canʼt kill Kalliyan. What about Alton and The Emperor? Donʼt forget that the Tang Empire has absorbed almost half of the tribes in the forest. I understand why you donʼt want to lower your head to them, but we have to think about our tribeʼs survival.”

”But Chief Moon can hold Alton-” Grand Elder Olming was unwilling to give up, but his words cut midway once again. This time it was Chief Moon who interrupted him. ”I canʼt. Alton was holding his strength while fighting against me. He was considering my feelings as the Chief of The Moonlight Tribe, so our fight always ended up with a draw, but I know he was stronger than that.”

”Of course, we will not surrender just like that, and we have to meet The Emperor and discuss the treatment for our tribe. We have to make sure that the Empire does not use us and throw us away after.” Grand Elder Auron looked toward Chief Moon. The decision was in Chief Moonʼs hand, and what they could do was give The Chief their words.

”I have Sylvia and Lusha to meet with The Emperor tomorrow evening. If we canʼt find Sir Suvan, then we donʼt have a choice but to surrender.” Chief Moon muttered helplessly and looked toward a direction. ”Before, we have to talk this out with The Elven. Do you want to accompany me, Uncles?”

Grand Elder Olming also let out a sigh. He did not want to surrender, but if the enemy was that strong, they did not have a choice but to surrender. ”We will accompany you until the end of our lives, Chief Moon. Thatʼs our duty as the Grand Elder regardless of the situation.”

Chief Moon and the Two Grand Elders headed toward a direction, the direction where The Elven resided. While only a handful of figures knew where The Elven lived, Chief Moon was amongst those handfuls. Of course, this information was limited to Chief Moon, Grand Elder, Moonlight Maiden, and Moonlight Scion.

With the three incredible speeds, Chief Moon and The Grand Elder arrived at the edge of the Gigante Forest. What was in front of them was the ocean, and Elvenʼs territory was ahead of them. Chief Moon took three steps forward and said in a low voice. ”May Nature Guide Me to Your Place.”

After saying that, Chief Moon, followed by the two Grand Elders, stepped into the cliff. However, instead of falling from the cliff, they disappeared. They entered the home of The Elven.

The trees inside Elvenʼs territory were bigger and lusher. Amongst the giant trees, there was the tallest amongst them that reached two hundred meters tall. Chief Moon could see the tallest from the entrance, and that was where most Elven lived.

”We greet Chief Moon and The Grand Elders.” Four elves came down from the tree and bowed toward Chief Moon and The Grand Elders. The elves had two short swords on their waist and a bow on their back. That was the basic equipment each Elf has. Chief Moon and The Grand Elders returned the gesture with a slight nod as well.

”The King and The Queen expected your arrival, and we will guide you to meet Them.” Just like that, the four elves guided Chief Moon and the Grand Elder. Instead of guiding them to the throne room or some sort of vast hall, the elves guide them to a treehouse. Of course, it was still a big house, but not as big as The Moonlight Dome.

As Chief Moon entered the house, he entered a room with a round table. There, he met with The Elven King and also The Elven Queen. Chief Moon put his right on his left chest and bowed his head. ”Chief Moon greets Elven King Revalor and Elven Queen Ava.” The two Elders also followed him.

Even though they were in equal stand, the Elven King and The Elven Queen were much older than him. He did not know how old they were, but he was sure they were at least five hundred years old.

”Stop with the formality, Moonsong. I receive you in my house so we can skip with that awkward formality.” The Elven King waved his hand at Chief Moon, whose real name was Moonsong.

Queen Ava also smiled at the three guests. Of course, the pair were not by themselves as their children were seated around him. The Elven King was blessed with three children, two sons, and one daughter.

Chief Moon let out a relieved sigh since they were waiting for his arrival. He and the Grand Elders took a seat across from The Elven King and his family. Moonsong did not bother with chit-chat as he directly entered the main topic. ”I assume The Elven also has received the message from The Tang Empire since you are waiting for my arrival?”

When the name of the Tang Empire was brought up, The Elven King lost his smile. He rubbed his clean forehead and nodded his head. ”Yes, Kaylin just returned two hours ago and told us everything that happened to The Beast Coven. But do you really think that The Kirin will bow her head to a human? I still canʼt believe this, but Kaylin said she saw it directly. The Kirin knelt to the human.”

”While I hope it was false, or just the enemyʼs tactic to intimidate us, Uncle Auron has confirmed it.” Moonsong smiled wryly and nodded his head. ”The Kirin has joined The Tang Empire, not just that, but The Tang Empire has defeated The Dark Tribe as well. Itʼs just us now.”

The Elven Queen Ava squinted her eyes with the bad news. She pondered for a while before she spoke. ”Us? What about Sir Suvan? I think we still have a chance if Sir Suvan is with us.”

Moonsong widened his eyes for a little. He then glanced at Princess Alissa, and he immediately realized that Princess Alissa had not reported about the possibility that The Green Sky Serpent was dead. This was weird since Sylvia and Princess Alissa worked together to investigate what happened around The Kirinʼs lair.

”Whatʼs wrong? Have you met with Sir Suvan? Is he not willing to help us?” The Elven King noticed the concern in Moonsongʼs eyes, so he asked.

”Itʼs not that, but thereʼs a possibility that Sir Suvan is dead,” Moonsong told The Elven King and The Elven Queen about her daughterʼs theory. The battle around The Kirinʼs lair, where the Green Sky Serpent and The Dark Tribe worked together to kill The Kirin. ”Donʼt you know there is a pit that has the same size as The Green Sky Serpent near The Kirinʼs lair?”

”We did not find the body, but thereʼs no way they will leave the body if The Tang Empire killed The Green Sky Serpent. The body is too precious to leave behind. Of course, this is just a theory. We are deploying our force to search Sir Suvan now, but thatʼs a plausible explanation as to why Kalliyan followed the human.”

The Elven Queen Ava looked toward her daughter. ”Why didnʼt you tell us about this, Alissa?”

”Itʼs just a possibility, Mom. We havenʼt confirmed if Sir Suvanʼs dead body created the pit. As for the Dark Tribe, I am still waiting for the messengers to return.” Prince Alissa replied. She still believed that not reporting the discoveries was the right thing to do since none of them were confirmed yet.

”We also sent three messengers to The Dark Tribe, but none of them have returned yet. However, at this point, I believe the Dark Tribe has surrendered to The Tang Empire.” Chief Moon shook his head. ”We canʼt put our hope in The Dark Tribe.”

Moonsong noticed that The Elven Queen was about to scold Princess Alissa, but he spoke first… ”But King Revalor, I want to confirm you one thing with the messenger. Did Kaylin say anything about The Angel with seven pairs of wings?”
