In other words, if all five Elf Kings die, the power of the so-called Elf Envoys will also disappear, and the Elf Envoys will become a thing of the past.
Seeing Roya's indifferent expression, Restia laughed instead.
"You can kill them."
This is not a question, but an affirmative statement.
Roya didn't dwell on the issue. He stated bluntly, "If it's just like that, the gains are disproportionate to the costs, and I won't agree to this deal."
Indeed, as Restia said, Roya was confident that he could not be defeated by the Elf King and could even defeat them, and even killing them was not out of the question. So why should he take that risk?
Restia's gaze was deep and unfathomable, her obsidian-like eyes fixed on Roya. Their eyes met, and they fell silent.
The atmosphere grew increasingly eerie until finally, Restia had to speak again: "Alright, you win, but the five Elf Kings must be killed. This is not just a mission, nor is it about revenge. To survive in this world, they must be killed; otherwise, this world will inevitably descend into chaos sooner or later."
Restia's words piqued Roya's interest slightly, and he followed up by asking, "Why do you say that?"
Restia asked calmly, "What do you think of the Fire Elemental King?"
Roya frowned, recalling the information about the Fire Elemental King. After a moment's thought, he shook his head.
According to the book, he could not discern the true personality of the Fire Elemental King, but based on the descriptions in the book, he could conclude that the Fire Elemental King had a very bad temper.
Restia seemed to see through Roja's thoughts, a mocking expression on her face. She said, "It's not just about bad temper, you know. If we don't stop them soon, they'll all go crazy."
Roja frowned, staring directly at Restia. His patience had run out. The Riddler's unpleasantness was irritating Roja, who said bluntly, "Say what you have to say and give me your chips. This is your last chance."
Sensing the hostility in Roya's tone, Restia continued unhurriedly, "Do you think the Elf Sword Dance Festival is simply about making wishes to please the Elf King?"
Restia glanced at Roya, but Roya did not answer and met Restia's gaze.
Receiving no response or agreement from the boy, Restia shook her head helplessly and continued, "This world is not as simple as you think. The Elf Sword Dance Festival is a ritual of sacrifice to the Elf King, and also a tournament to determine the strongest Elf Warrior. The winning team can bring the Elf King's blessing to the country for several years, ensuring its prosperity. And the champion can make a wish to the Elf King, which makes all the Elf Warriors flock to participate in the Sword Dance Festival. But is it really like that?"
Restia's gaze was intense, her obsidian-like eyes radiating a captivating light. Restia grasped Roya's hand, a hint of sorrow hidden deep within her eyes.
"The Elf Kings have long since gone mad with the passage of time. Over thousands of years, their very nature has begun to change. The Sword Dance Festival is merely a way to suppress them. But how long can this last? The corruption of darkness is like a flood that has been released from its dam, and it is out of control. If we don't address the root cause, this world will inevitably descend into chaos sooner or later."
"Although the Elf Sword Dance Festival held by humans can temporarily calm the corrupted souls of the Elf Kings, the large-scale wars in the human realm will also cause their souls to become unstable. Therefore, the best solution is to kill them all."
Restia looked at Roya calmly and said, "My goal is for you to help me kill the five Elf Kings. In return, everything I have will be yours."
Roya narrowed his eyes, looking at Restia, carefully considering Restia's words.
He still doesn't know the true history, but if what Restia said is true, then this world is in big trouble.
The Elf Kings could be considered gods in this world, but the terror of a god's mind going mad is unimaginable. The combined effect of five Elf Kings going insane is far beyond what Solomon could achieve.
If that's the case, then this world is likely doomed.
However, what Roya cared about most was Restia's last sentence: "Everything I have belongs to you."
Restia's power is beyond doubt. As the highest-ranking dark elf, her value is no less than that of Est. If Roya could obtain such a holy sword, he would have no reason to refuse.
However, after glancing at Esther beside him, Roya fell into deep thought.
Roya wanted to find an excuse to convince himself and Esther.
Esther sensed something, stepped forward, and grasped Roya's right hand. Her face remained expressionless, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Although they wouldn't actually fight each other upon meeting, their relationship was far from harmonious, given that they had once been on opposing sides.
Restia smiled knowingly and said to Roya, "Just think of yourself as a hero, put yourself through the wringer, and embark on a journey to save the world. Along the way, you'll see a drowning and homeless elf. Take pity on her and save her, then adopt the homeless dark elf. What do you think?"
Roya could sense the sarcasm in Restia's words, but he didn't say anything more.
He was a hypocrite; he wanted Restia, but he was also somewhat concerned about Esther's feelings.
Turning his gaze to Esther, Roya asked, "Este, what do you think?"
Esther's gaze fell on Restia, whose lips curled into a smile. This smile only made Esther more annoyed. She wanted to tell Roya that having her was enough.
But is that really the case?
She knew nothing of the ancient secrets; her only memory came from the savior saint. Her experience and power were insufficient for her to easily say that having her was enough.
Thinking of this, the girl gripped Roya's hand even tighter. Esther looked up and asked, "Master, are you lacking in strength?"
Roya fell silent, while Restia's lips curled up, her gray wings unfurled, and a smug look appeared on the girl's delicate face.
Roya nodded and reached out to stroke Restia's forehead.
"I need enough power to protect my family."
"I see."
After saying that, he stopped talking.
Although she was a little sad, she left the choice to Luo Ya.
Luo Ya sighed, feeling somewhat sorry for Esther, but then he thought, they were both his wings, and between wings, how could he feel sorry for them?
I'll make it up to them next time.
Shifting her gaze to Restia, Restia said, "Then, let's begin."
Restia's smile widened. She reached out and took Roya's hand, glanced at Restia standing to the side, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Aren't you going to let her leave for a bit? Something bad might happen next, for her."
Esther's face darkened, she snorted coldly, and deliberately dispersed her human form, transforming into her elemental form.
As soon as Esther left, Restia took a step forward and pressed herself almost face-to-face with Roya.
Before him stood a beautiful woman, pressed against his body. Inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her, Luo Ya felt inexplicably intoxicated.
The girl before them was like a little devil, leading people step by step into the abyss.
The black dress shone with a smooth sheen, and her long black hair cascaded down to her waist. Roya could see the pattern on the bow on Restia's hair. The girl murmured softly, but her voice resonated in Roya's ears.
"Then let's begin our contract."
After saying that, Restia leaned in, her cherry blossom-like lips slowly approaching until they met, their soft lips touching.
Adhering to the principle of neither taking initiative nor refusing, Luo Ya gritted his teeth and accepted the loss.
The path of a hero is always filled with temptations of one kind or another, but he considers it nothing to suffer a little loss in order to help others.
Restia's lips were very soft, and the soft, tingling sensation made Roya's heart race. The touch of her tongue made Roya's heart race even faster.
Restia breathed a warm breath onto Roya's cheek, and Roya, not being naive, instinctively returned the girl's kiss.
By prying open the girl's teeth, Roya began his offensive.
However, Restia, who had been very proactive from the beginning, started breathing slightly rapidly and her movements became a little stiff.
Luo Ya was taken aback, a guess forming in his mind.
Could this be her first time?
To verify this hypothesis, he began to provoke the other party even more recklessly.
Restia's eyes widened suddenly, and her panic amused Roja.
Ha, it's clearly the first time, yet she's pretending to be so mature.
Roya's lips curled into a smile, and he began to launch a further offensive.
At this moment, the contract began to be established through the two of them.
The girl, Ren Ashbell, who had been lying unconscious, had her right arm marked with an elven pattern symbolizing the contract gradually disappearing. The complex black markings faded and faded until they vanished without a trace.
Correspondingly, an elven mark appeared on Roya's left hand. It was an extremely complex elven mark. When the mark was completed, it symbolized that the gate to the elven elemental world was opened for Roya, and like a bridge, a connection was established between the two.
Chapter 217 The World's Plea for Help (4k)
Before he could even savor Restia's lips, the softness on his tongue vanished, replaced by a heavy force within him.
This power continuously surged from Restia's body, passing through her into Roya's body. The power was immense, roughly half the size of Roya's power in the original world. This powerful force possessed its own will, and upon entering Roya's body, it began to attempt to take over.
The black mist that had just dissipated from Ashbell suddenly erupted again, and a dense, ominous aura rushed towards Roya with lightning speed.
The swirling mist intertwined with the Demon King's power, launching a combined attack on Roya's body.
The dark invasion was terrifying, but once it entered Roya's body, it was instantly suppressed by the divine power and magic within Roya's body, with the scorching divine power constantly resisting the black mist.
But this is not a solution. What Roya wants is to control this power, not to shut the other party out.
After a moment's hesitation, Luo Ya ordered Shenwei to give up the struggle and let the Qing troops enter the pass.
The gods were stunned and exclaimed in disbelief. They gathered together and loudly questioned why the Qing army had been allowed to enter the pass.
Luo Ya smiled but said nothing.
The gods sighed and lamented that the emperor was foolish, but since the body belonged to Roya, they could only obey Roya's orders.
Then, the powerful dark tide, having lost the obstruction of the scorching divine power, surged relentlessly against every inch of Roya's body.
Meanwhile, countless whispers reached Roya's ears.
The murmurs seemed both near and far, and came from the elderly, children, and young people, but they were all undoubtedly talking about the same thing.
"Become me."
The whispers could not sway Roya's mind; he only found them extremely noisy.
If you simply stop them from the outside, it will inevitably arouse their suspicion. If they discover that you are a tough guy, they will all run away, and you will have to catch them one by one.
It would be better to go with the flow and let these dark divine powers enter so that they can be better absorbed into one's own body, and then all of them can be swallowed up.
