Chapter 250 “Can you touch me more?”


    No one present could have imagined that the situation would take such a turn.


    ?Especially the princes and princesses of the Kingdom of Turin, all of them opened their eyes wide and looked at this scene in disbelief.


    They are the people with the highest status here, and they are also the focus of people''s attention.


    In their opinion, for the sake of the Kingdom of Turin, they are the most likely person to communicate with the Elf Queen.


    But at this time, the Elf Queen did not say a word to them at all, but directly embraced an unidentified man in black robes! ?


    Furthermore, judging from her demeanor, it was obvious that the other person was an extremely important person to her.


    “This is the first time I have seen the Queen show such an expression...”


    “Who is that man in black robe?”


    “He and Edward seem to have a close relationship?”


    ?Seeing more and more eyes coming from all around, the voices of discussion became louder and louder.


    The Elf Queen, or Laila, smiled slightly and said to Shane.


    “I’ll take you to a good place.”


    The next moment.


    A magnificent magic circle was generated at the feet of the two of them.


    Soon, the two figures disappeared in front of everyone.


    “Her Majesty the Queen?!”


    The faces of the elf guards beside the steam locomotive suddenly became a little ugly.


    Their beloved Queen, actually ran away with someone else like this?


    Tomorrow is the day when he officially ascends the throne!


    What should we do if something unexpected happens?


    Fortunately, at this moment, a head maid who had known Laila for many years said, "Don''t panic."


    “I know where the Queen has gone.”


    “Besides, the Queen is absolutely safe in the [City of Giant Woods].”


    ?Hearing what the head maid said, the guard calmed down.


    The head maid looked at where Laila left, couldn''t help but shook her head, and muttered in her heart.


    "After so many years, this little girl has calmed down her temper. I didn''t expect her nature to be so out of control."


    "You are the only candidate for the queen. Can''t you summon her in private? But you have to do it in public..."


    After muttering, the head maid began to help her deal with the follow-up of this matter.


    In the crowd, the second prince glanced at Edward with a dark and unclear look.


    ??If the man in black robes is Edward''s companion, doesn''t it mean that Edward may be able to gain support from the elves?


    This is obviously not good news for him, who is also the heir.


    The person with the most exciting expression in the scene was Ximei, who had spoken so wildly before.


    ?No matter how stupid and reckless he is, he can still see that -


    ??The man in black robes who was also belittled by him obviously had a very close relationship with the Elf Queen.


    ??And if you offend the Elf Queen in [City of Giant Woods], no matter what the consequences will be, how can Ximei still guess?


    His face was pale, his body was trembling slightly, and he looked at Edward with difficulty.


    Like a drowning man who sees the last straw...


    …


    …


    The other side.


    After the teleportation circle was activated, Xia En''s eyes flashed.


    A dazzling ray of sunlight came into view.


    ??Xia En looked around and found that there was a blue sky above his head, and hazy clouds and mist were surrounding him. It was not as grand as the sky was high and the clouds were wide.


    Under his feet, there was a dense tree crown, and birds built nests among the branches.


    "here it is…"


    “We are now standing on the crown of the Elf Mother Tree.”


    ?Laila said loudly from beside her, but her beautiful eyes fell on him intently.


    At this time, Xia En had time to take a closer look at Laila in front of him.


    Compared with the last time we met, Laila''s appearance and temperament have changed a lot.


    Her appearance has become much more mature.


    From a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, she became a young woman of about twenty years old.


    ?Far from reducing her charm, this is like a green fruit gradually maturing, adding to her charming charm.


    When he first met Laila, Shane was amazed by her beauty.


    At the moment, she has a truly stunning appearance.


    In terms of temperament, Laila has also changed from her previous innocence to a calm and tranquil one.


    ? And the gorgeous elf dress also gave her a hint of the majesty of a superior person.


    ??After careful sensing, the aura on Laila''s body was also extremely deep and powerful, at least level six and up, two levels higher than Xia En.


    ?Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little dazed.


    Yes, now Laila is no longer the poor girl who was ostracized by her fellow tribesmen.


    ??But the Elf Queen who is about to be crowned emperor!


    The figure in the memory gradually overlapped with the woman in front of him.


    ?Shaan sighed softly: "Laila, you have changed a lot."


    Hearing this, Laila said quietly: "Do you know how long it has been since you and I were separated?"


    "how long?"


    “One hundred years.”


    ?Laila said softly: "A full hundred and five years!"


    “It’s a good thing that I am an immortal, otherwise I would have been too old to see anyone.”


    Xia En was shocked.


    One hundred years!


    For ordinary people, this is already a longer time than a lifetime.


    Even if Laila is an immortal species like an elf, a hundred years cannot be considered short.


    No wonder Laila has changed so much.


    …


    As soon as Xia En came up with such an idea, he heard Laila let out a long breath, unbuttoned the two buttons on her clothes, and lay down on the canopy of the tree without a ladylike image.


    “I can relax for a while.”


    “You don’t know that these clothes are tight, and you have to pay attention to maintaining the Queen’s appearance at all times.”


    “Just walking around the city can tire you out!”


    ?Laila relaxed and stretched her body, and complained to Shane angrily: "If I had known it would be such a troublesome thing, I wouldn''t be a queen!"


    ?Xia En was slightly startled.


    ? He ??suddenly remembered that Laila was originally a free and carefree elf, and she was almost buried alive in her research room.


    At this moment, her impetuous girlish attitude showed a bit of the past.


    Make Shanton feel friendly and familiar.


    ?Perhaps, that calm look was a disguise she had to make, which was also a requirement of the Queen''s status.


    If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.


    Only in front of someone she truly trusts will she show such a lazy look.


    ?However, Xia En didn''t dare to look at it after two glances.


    ?Laila has not only matured in appearance, but also has a well-developed body. She is not comparable to the flat girl before.


    ?Looking down from a high position, your eyes are easily attracted by the white greasy collar.


    ??Xia En simply lay down next to Laila, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and asked softly.


    “Why are you in this city?” “Since the [Wrath of God], I left the [Emerald Isle] and traveled around the mainland.”


    “On the one hand, I want to find you, and on the other hand, I want to find a solution to the elves’ crisis.”


    ?Laila spoke calmly and slowly told what she had experienced in the past hundred years.


    “I have been to many kingdoms and seen all kinds of people and all kinds of races.”


    “Finally, I realized that it was not enough for me to solve the disaster you told me about.”


    “Even the power of the entire elves is not enough!”


    “If you want to survive the world-destroying flood, you must gather the resources, strength and wisdom of all kingdoms and races in the world!”


    ?Her tone has always been calm, but she also revealed firm determination.


    “That’s why I came to the [City of Giant Woods] to become a candidate for the queen.”


    “And this Conference of All Nations was held under my impetus.”


    Hearing these words, Xia En was moved again.


    Hundred years have finally allowed Laila to grow up a lot.


    ?These words alone are not something that ordinary people can say.


    Obviously, Lyra and the pirate king Augustine chose to take different paths.


    ?Augustine continues to improve his strength, trying to defeat [Husi Ming] with his personal power and expel him from this world.


    ?Layla, on the other hand, placed her hope in collective power and wanted to unite the intelligent races around the world to fight against the enemy.


    ??If it can really be done, Laila''s probability of success is obviously greater than Augustine''s.


    only…


    It is almost impossible to unite the power of the entire world.


    There are naturally different conflicts between various kingdoms and races, either blood feuds or gaps between civilizations.


    ?Taking the elves as an example, even if they don’t say it explicitly, deep down in their hearts they probably always have a sense of superiority over humans.


    ?Furthermore, even if Laila foretells the coming of the great flood to them.


    How many people will choose to believe it?


    Without any evidence, it is necessary to use the resources and citizens of other kingdoms, which will only be considered an act of aggression.


    Even if the elves are the most powerful race in the world, the result will not change.


    In the final analysis, human beings are creatures that put interests above all else.


    Once Laila does something that infringes on the interests of other kingdoms, it will naturally arouse public outrage.


    Because of this, Shane has a certain pessimism about Laila''s plan.


    “Don’t worry, I’m not that naive. I want to bind other kingdoms to the elves through a conference of nations.”


    ?Laila turned her head and winked slyly at Shane.


    “I just want to establish a basis for cooperation among countries and form a relatively loose organization first.”


    “What do you think of the name…Federation?”


    “The union of city-states feels quite appropriate!”


    Xia En’s heart jumped suddenly.


    ?However, after thinking about it, he realized that the federation mentioned by Laila had nothing to do with the later Seven Seas Federation.


    It just happened to be a name.


    Xia En relaxed and said with a smile, "It''s true."


    “But don’t be too impatient about the establishment of the federation, otherwise it may be counterproductive.”


    ?Shaan had realized that Laila would not change her decision, so he did not persuade her to give up, but hoped that she would not act too hastily.


    Otherwise, the elves would have been boycotted by other kingdoms before the great flood came.


    “I’m actually a little anxious.”


    ?Suddenly, Laila half-sited up, hugged her knees with her hands, straightened her body, and murmured.


    “After all, I don’t know when those disasters will come.”


    “Is it possible that disaster will strike before we are ready?”


    “I don’t dare to tell other people these secrets, for fear of shaking people’s hearts and attracting the attention of evil gods.”


    ?Her voice was filled with deeply hidden uneasiness.


    Xia En felt more and more pity in his heart.


    At the end of the day, Laila is still just a girl according to the age of the elf.


    But she has to bear such a heavy secret, and no one can talk to her about it. You can imagine the pressure inside her.


    ?Xia En suddenly felt regretful.


    Would it have been better if he had not told Laila these secrets at the beginning?


    As if she saw what he was thinking, Laila shook her head and said seriously: "I have never regretted it."


    “I am very lucky that I can meet you and know that disaster is approaching.”


    “It’s much better than those tribesmen who were buried in [God’s wrath] without knowing anything.”


    Speaking, Laila pushed aside the leaves around her and stared blankly below.


    “This city is so beautiful.”


    ?Xia En looked down and saw the entire "City of Giant Woods" through the sparse branches.


    Busty crowds, noisy voices, and fresh and real vitality flow in every corner of the city.


    From such a high place, overlooking the city below, there is a different kind of beauty.


    ?The lofty, filthy and corrupt external gods cannot appreciate the beauty of life, nor can they see the hope in people''s hearts.


    ?Laila smiled at Shane and said, "This is my city."


    “These are my people.”


    Her smile was filled with girlish pride.


    It was her efforts to transform the city into what it is now, and it was she who changed the elves'' conservative customs.


    She does have the right to be proud.


    For no reason, Xia En stretched out his hand, gently touched the top of Laila''s head, and praised her.


    “Well, you did a good job.”


    ?Think about it for a moment, if you were in Laila''s situation, you would never be able to do better than her.


    ?However, Xia En regretted it as soon as he made this move.


    ?Laila is about to become the queen now. Doesn’t the act of touching her head a bit insult the queen’s majesty?


    ??But he didn''t expect that after being stunned for a moment, Laila''s eyes turned red and she took the initiative to rub Xia En''s palm with her head and whispered.


    “Can you touch me more?”


    ?Shaan’s expression was a little strange, but he still tried his best to meet Laila’s needs.


    ??If the elves of [City of Giant Woods] saw their queen showing such an expression, they would definitely be shocked.


    ??Laila said while enjoying the touch: "By the way, I told you my experience, you should also tell me what happened to you during this time, right?"


    Xia En naturally did not refuse this request and began to explain what happened after leaving [Emerald Island].


    Including the encounter with Augustine in the promotion ritual and his coronation as king.


    Also includes the adventure on the Sand Island and the truth about the Norwich Treasure.


    ?Laila couldn''t help but sigh: "I have heard the name Augustine, the Pirate King, many times."


    “From what you say, he is indeed a powerful person.”


    “It’s a pity that [City of Giant Woods] is located inland, so we can’t invite him to participate.”


    “And, you actually got a secret realm! This harvest is not ordinary.”


    The two of them chatted wordlessly.


    ?Obviously they are dry words, but they make people happy inexplicably. They feel that every word is meaningful and makes people''s hearts flutter.


    Time also passes slowly in this process.


    Gradually, night falls.
