This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 298 - 270: The Bloom of the Life Flower

Chapter 298: Chapter 270: The Bloom of the Life Flower

Lette was speechless. Among all the Elves he knew, Sofia seemed to be the most normal one.

He thought she was just an ordinary member of the Elf, but it turned out she was at the pinnacle of stability.

Lette suddenly felt that the skewed mentality of the Elf Princess couldn’t solely be blamed on her; her mother’s guidance and inheritance also played a significant role.

When the upper beam is crooked, it’s hard for the lower beam to stay straight.

Lette could also understand the Empress’s pathological impulse for marriage alliances.

The Elf Empire had been shaky for so many years, with the internal Ancient Tree of Life being ill and external human black-hearted merchants and wolves lurking around.

Ordinary citizens might still live in peace within the beautiful dream realm woven by the Empire’s upper echelons, but as the top woman of the country, the Empress was really exhausted.

If marriage alliances could achieve stability and safety for the tribe, it would be more than welcome.

Five hundred years ago, the Elf Queen would have scorned such a move.

Three hundred years ago, she would have considered it, weighing the pros and cons.

A hundred years ago, if it met the needs of the Elf Clan, she definitely wouldn’t hesitate.

Now, she had become proactive, seeking out suitable targets, and would achieve marriage alliances through force if necessary.

Time could heal wounds, but it could also wear down an Empress’s proud heart and the lines she refused to cross.

The Empress’s illness was no lighter than the Princess’s.

Fortunately, one of the few normal people in the Elf Empire, Sofia, was waiting outside. After hearing the Empress’s shocking proposal, she hurried in to stop her.

Once the Empress calmed down, she gradually returned to normal and was deeply embarrassed by her actions, blushing all over, even her white jade neck turning pink.

She quickly issued a decree, granting Lette the freedom to approach the Ancient Tree of Life, then fled into the deep palace in a hurry.

Watching the Empress leave, Sofia sighed.

"Mr. Wright, please don’t mind. Her Majesty is under too much pressure. She meant no harm, nor was she toying with you..."

Lette waved a hand: "I know all of this, no need to explain so much to me.

Time is tight, and the task is heavy. The most important thing is to quickly visit the Ancient Tree of Life.

Once I’ve resolved the issues here, I’ll leave soon.

When the Ancient Tree of Life recovers and your new Life Goddess takes her place, the Empress should be able to lay down her burdens.

By then, the entire Elf Empire will be back on track. I believe many unnecessary symptoms will gradually disappear on their own."

Sofia was moved to tears upon hearing this.

"Lord Wright truly has the best interests of the Elf Clan at heart!"

"Benefiting others and oneself, why not? Let’s go quickly."

Sofia nodded repeatedly, leading Lette and Pinocchio out of the Imperial Palace, and they boarded a carriage to rush toward the Ancient Tree of Life.

The Elf Empire’s Imperial Palace, the Jade Dream, and the Ancient Tree of Life form an equilateral triangle.

This triangle is the absolute center of the entire Imperial City of the Elf Empire. The whole city has expanded around this triangle.

Therefore, the palace wasn’t far from the destination. They hadn’t traveled long before reaching the Ancient Tree of Life.

Lette and the others got off the carriage, looking at the towering, sky-piercing tree in awe.

"The Ancient Tree of Life, its reputation is well deserved. Although I’ve seen it in magical images, witnessing it firsthand is a different feeling."

"The Life Energy in this lake is abundant."

The Liar Demon said this because they were currently at the lakeside of a large lake.

The gigantic Ancient Tree of Life was rooted on an island in the middle of the lake.

Lette looked up to see a water bird soaring, heading toward the island.

But after flying for a long time, it finally returned in vain, almost falling into the water from exhaustion.

"Is there a space barrier?"

Lette rubbed his chin: "Otherwise, the bird would have flown to the island long ago."

Sofia explained: "It’s not a time-space barrier, but a space barrier naturally formed by the Ancient Tree of Life.

Only those summoned or granted special permission by the Empress can cross this barrier to reach the real Lake Heart Island.

Otherwise, like the bird just now, they will keep flying forward yet never reach the destination.

Mr. Wright has the Empress’s approval, so there’s no need to worry about this issue."

Lette raised an eyebrow: "Even without it, we wouldn’t worry about this issue. But what I’m more curious about is how the one messing with the tree managed it?

If his power is strong enough to break the barrier directly, he wouldn’t need such small tricks. There are plenty of ways to deal with your Elf Clan.

But if his strength is average and he must rely on permission to enter.

Then who gave him the permission, and when?"

Sofia was taken aback: "That, I don’t know. It seems we need a good investigation."

"I’m just afraid there might be a traitor within your Elf Clan."

Lette said this with reason. At the Tower of Truth’s zenith, its members included nearly every race.

After all, which group doesn’t have a few madmen?

Pursuing truth, seeking strength, chasing madness.

Such individuals have never been lacking throughout the ages.
