Western Fantasy: The Princess Wants to Save the World

Chapter 179: Naive

The elder was still talking to himself, his tone was extremely sarcastic, even Demetra couldn't stand it anymore, "Elder..."

On the way here, although Cecilia did not say it explicitly, it was not difficult to guess from her experience that Cecilia was definitely not here to ask the elves for support.

When I left the elves, I followed them to travel around the entire continent, but the elders did not agree.

I feel that it is not good to have long-term contact with other ethnic groups.

Finally, the queen couldn't help but approve the matter, and Demetra left smoothly with her friends.

The elder was particularly worried, and when she left, he repeatedly warned her not to tell Cecilia the secret of the elves.

Demetra naturally didn't leak anything, but the elders, ever since he returned to the elves, have refused to believe that he hadn't said anything.

Not only are they targeting me everywhere, but they are also spreading rumors that the elves are doomed.

The fact that an elder can become an elder has something to do with his age, and his abilities are also outstanding among the elves.

Even if Demetra was unhappy with her, she had to endure it. But seeing that the other party was about to let the cat out of the bag, Demetra hurriedly stopped her, which earned her another roll of the eyes from the elders.

Cecilia didn't speak because the system prompted that this elder was not an easy person to get along with.

Now I have seen part of it.

"To be honest, Elder, I am not here to ask for help. I know that the elves love peace and do not like war, so I will not come here to run into trouble."

The elder cast an unfriendly and disbelieving look at Cecilia. She couldn't stand the veiled tone in Cecilia's words.

She didn't expect that there was more to come that she didn't want to hear.

"I am here this time on behalf of King Gallop, the leader of the human kingdom. I need to discuss some matters with Her Majesty the Noble Queen. Please excuse me, I will take my leave first."

As she spoke, Cecilia stood up and gestured to Demetra.

The two of them had eaten the same food, lived in the same bed, and had been together day and night for many years. Demetra also understood what Cecilia meant, and stood up, "I'll take you there."

Originally, thinking that it was Demetra who brought her here, and the elders' words carried a lot of weight among the elves, Cecilia thought it would not be a bad idea to persuade the elders first and then persuade the queen.

But since the other party has clearly revealed his hostility towards her, why should Cecilia bother to try her best to please him?

The elves have always lived in seclusion from the world. Essentially, the elves have some of the shortcomings that humans have.

I don’t know if Demetra noticed the tactics she used in her previous few sentences, but Cecilia knew it clearly.

This is to flatter herself, secretly, no, she should be ridiculed openly for being a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.

Cecilia knew four hundred years ago that Demetra must keep a secret as mentioned by the elders.

Of course, I learned it from the system.

Demetra never mentioned it, and Cecilia pretended not to know.

The elves, who are also a species of reptiles like the mermaids, do not have as great abilities as the mermaids.

Mermaids live in the ocean, and the ocean is under their control. At the same time, mermaids can freely switch their forms - mermaids and sirens - after they reach adulthood.

Even a newborn mermaid baby can control a small wave.

This ability is very powerful. As long as there is water, the mermaids are invincible. But it is not very powerful either. Without water, the mermaids’ abilities are as good as nothing.

The Creator is fair. Mermen and mermen are more like fish in more places.

They don't die immediately after leaving the water, but they won't live long either.

There is no way in this world that can turn a mermaid into a human and walk on land.

This also established the huge advantage of mermaids in the ocean and the reason why they do not pose too much threat to other races.

The elves are different.

Everyone knows that the elves have the ability to communicate with all things, from a blade of grass to a whale in the ocean, they can communicate.

This ability seems so useless to outsiders.

Apart from this, perhaps the only other place that carries their scent is the New Forest of Burrow.

This forest spontaneously protects the elves from being disturbed by other races, and the elves provide them with a peaceful living environment.

One thing the elves hide is that their ability is actually to control everything.

It still ranges from as small as a blade of grass to as large as a ferocious beast, including higher animals and demons.

The elves can all be controlled.

The only difference is the amount of control.

This is why all creatures in the New Forest of Borrow are protecting the elf tribe.

But it's all the result of the Elf Queen's secret control.

The elves don't want outsiders to know about this ability, and Cecilia can understand that.

Too much can easily lead to disaster.

There are only so many elves in the tribe. If they are surrounded by several tribes, they will be like fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered at will.

On the way, Demetra was still making excuses for the elder, saying that he was just like that and asked Cecilia not to take it seriously.

"It's not easy to make a living under her these years, right?"

Demetra suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

When Demetra left with her friends, she would have been only about 20 or 30 years old in human terms.

If she was really a human in her twenties or thirties, she wouldn't be like a blank sheet of paper. Demetra lived in the large circle of elves, and she was not very clear about many tacit things among humans.

When he first came out and interacted with other humans, many people thought Demetra was a fool.

I don’t know how much trouble it caused them at that time.

There was a time when Demetra was extremely self-deprecating and felt that she could not do anything right.

It was still myself and Abeluna who kept comforting each other. Although Demetra was no longer so timid later, she was still quite inferior in some aspects.

The elders had been secretly making trouble for her over the years, and Demetra, who had been to the human world, could see it clearly. She knew that the elders were using her influence and ability in the elves to bully her with cold violence.

But what can she do?

The place of the elders is placed here, who else except the queen can really help her out?

Why should the Queen stand up for her?

Demetra has been trying to find a way to get away from the elders, even if it means doing something else.

How could the elder let her go so easily?

Sometimes, Demetra was so oppressed that she even thought that when Ellard came up with such a rebellious idea, she should not have opposed it but should have followed them.

Even if you don't agree, you shouldn't come back.

All the grievances I had felt over the years came flooding back to me at once, and my eyes were already wet with tears.

Cecilia hugged the other person and patted him on the back gently, "It's okay, I'm here, and I'm here too."

Demetra burst into tears and shook her head desperately in Cecilia's arms.

Cecilia was destined to leave.

And myself...

The last time I left the elves, I was criticized by everyone in the tribe behind my back. If I leave the elves again, I will never be able to come back in this lifetime.

She still didn't have enough courage to leave her people.

This is where she was born and grew up.

She couldn't even handle things here. If she left, even with Cecilia, she would still be a drag.

Demetra wiped the tears from her face and looked into Cecilia's distressed eyes. She knew what she was going to say and spoke first, "The queen's residence is just ahead. I'll take you there."

Cecilia sighed as she looked at Demetra's fleeing back.

It really hasn't changed at all over the years.

Instead, I became more timid and inferior.

Cecilia looked back at the location of the elders' residence.

If Demetra was unwilling to leave with him, the elder would naturally not be able to stay.

The system was amazed in Cecilia's mind, "The last time I saw you so angry was when you were confronting Ellar on the ship. I didn't expect that this elf elder could make you so angry."

Cecilia was angry, but she wasn't crazy. "So you were there at that time?"

She was not in a very good mood to begin with, and when she said this, the system felt eerie.

Immediately shut off the microphone and go offline, pretending not to exist.

Cecilia looked at Demetra's figure walking faster and faster in front of her, and stopped arguing with the system, and quickly caught up with Demetra.

Cecilia had also dealt with Friel four hundred years ago, but she didn't know if the other party was still so easy to talk to after four hundred years.

It was as if Friel had known about Cecilia's arrival. Her smile was flawless, as if it had been programmed by a machine.

An Ning Shuxin, who had just entered the elf tribe, left as soon as they found out that Demetra was not living well.

Now seeing Friel's mechanical smile, Cecilia no longer had the same "divine" feeling as before.

It feels eerie.

Cecilia thought of Friel's attitude towards her and others back then, and thought that it was because the elder had implicated the queen.

After Demetra brought himself to it, he left.

Most likely he was waiting for her outside, Cecilia thought.

When Cecilia explained her purpose and wanted to get the blessing of the land and Friel's blood, the smile on Friel's face slowly faded.

The indescribable subtle feeling from before came back to my mind.

Cecilia remained calm, "Your Majesty, do you think I am lying to you again?"

Friel's gaze suddenly became cold, and Cecilia felt her body beginning to lose control.

Cecilia sneered in her heart. A lot of things had happened in these four hundred years, which could have caused such a huge change in a person.

I have just made it very clear why we need the blessing of the land and why we need the other party's blood. These explanations are all very clear.

However, after hearing his request, the other party used the elves' abilities to control him.

Thinking of just one sentence, Demetra burst into tears.

The elders' bullying and cold violence against Demetra were probably also hinted at by this good queen.

Cecilia watched her body stand up uncontrollably, walk to the queen, and kneel down.

This action was too insulting to Cecilia.

The people in this world do not have the custom of kneeling on both legs to worship. If they really want to show respect, they kneel on one knee.

The elves do have this custom of kneeling on the ground, and it is mostly used in sacrifices.

Now the other party is controlling her legs to kneel on the ground. Is this asking her to worship her as a god?

"System, stop playing dead. How do we break the situation?"

"It depends on whether your willpower can wrest control back from the other party."

It's the same as not saying anything.

After kneeling down, Fulier asked, "Why do you want the blessing of the land?"

"Seal the dark magician."

This was almost Cecilia's subconscious response.

Fulier frowned when she heard this, seeming very dissatisfied with the answer.

"Why do you want my blood?"

This was originally intended to be used to dissolve the Peace Treaty.

But the "Peace Treaty" was the concept that was first proposed by Friel, and then they and others implemented it.

The words almost slipped out of Cecilia's mouth, and the last thing Friel heard was, "For peace."

This is also true.

The Peace Treaty fails to restrain peace among ethnic groups and has even intensified conflicts among ethnic groups. How can the abolition of the Peace Treaty not be considered for the sake of peace?

The system was a little surprised.

With this small answer, Cecilia was able to regain a little bit of control, at least she was not completely at the mercy of the other party.

Friel didn't believe Cecilia's answer.

Cecilia's body began to move uncontrollably again. She picked up a knife, pointed it at her abdomen, and was about to stab it.

The system was broadcasting frantically in Cecilia's mind, "Warning! Warning!"

Despite the loud noise, Cecilia was not affected at all.

All her attention was on how to take back control of her body.

With a bang, the door was pushed open and Demetra rushed in.

At that moment, Friel's control over Cecilia loosened for a moment, and Cecilia seized the opportunity, immediately threw the knife away, and released defensive magic.

Friel looked at Cecilia with an even more unfriendly look.

Cecilia was wary of the other party.

Friel did not attack Cecilia again, but slapped Demetra with one hand.

The force of this blow was so strong that Demetra spat out a mouthful of blood.

Cecilia blocked the next attack that Fulier raised her hand towards Demetra, "You have a problem with me?"

The other party looked at him unfriendly, but said nothing.

Cecilia helped Demetra up and used magic to heal her wounds.

Looking at Fulier again, "You don't have a problem with me, you have a problem with all of us at that time."

Fulier's eyes sank, confirming Cecilia's statement.

Cecilia laughed out loud immediately.

Fleur frowned.

After Cecilia finished laughing, she stopped and looked at Fulier with a mocking look, "I was wondering why Demetra was so inferior four hundred years ago. It turns out that their queen is an inferior person."

"You know that my former companions released the black magician and tampered with the Peace Treaty, but you didn't go to settle the score with them. Instead, you bullied Demetra, an innocent person, for so many years. You are such a coward!"
