Chapter 2097: Watching a Show, the People's Code

~7 min read 1,319 words

————Still about an hour and a half.

However, Kelanni's answer at least gave Xia Duo a sense of reassurance; from now on, Keman and perhaps the entire Elf World might no longer insist on following the imperialist path of Golden Elf Supremacy.

In reality, apart from Siluwende and Keman, other elf nations had never followed such a path at all.

And now, after being dismantled, Siluwende is estimated to keep its tail tucked as an elf, and changes have already appeared here in Keman; if there are no major changes in the future, it is estimated that they will not revert to their old ways.

And this will also mean that while maintaining orderly competition with various elf nations, a certain degree of cooperation can also be carried out without having to cause serious disagreements due to some radical or conservative concepts.

Thus, Xia Duo promised Kelanni that he would visit Arvandor at an appropriate time, only hoping that the scene at that time would be as harmonious as it is now.

Regarding this, Kelanni covered her mouth and revealed an incomparably charming smile, saying to Xia Duo: "If Lord Xia Duo had visited Arvandor, you wouldn't have such worries now. I hope we can meet as soon as possible."

Next, the two sides did not chat about any heavy, realistic topics, but continued the previous discussion about art and beauty. This time, Xia Duo took the initiative to express his many concepts, such as people's literature and art, people's history, and so on.

Kelanni also deeply agreed with this; at least what Xia Duo saw and felt was indeed the case, which made him have a great change in his perception of the elf main deity.

Afterwards, until the end of the meeting, the two were in a relatively harmonious and pleasant atmosphere of conversation, but just as Xia Duo was about to walk out of the Reception Room, Kelanni suddenly said:

"That Floating Fortress above is quite interesting, but actually, you don't need to be so worried!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Duo immediately became nervous, but he could also guess that Kelanni probably discovered his communication with the Floating City, so he wanted to gloss over it and prepared to brush it off:

"When away from home, family members inevitably worry."

"Is this the humor of Easterners?"

Kelanni did not continue to get to the bottom of this question, but mentioned: "There is the protection of the Lady of Mysteries there; unless permitted, there will be no interference from any other Divine Power."

"The protection of the Lady of Mysteries?"

Xia Duo immediately associated this with Yinaole's certification of the 【Mythallar】 to the Magic Goddess. Now it seems that the certification is truly useful, actually being able to exclude the interference of other Divine Powers.

If this is the case, perhaps the Ascension Order is not that difficult to resist.

Of course, this is not to say that one can provoke the gods by carrying a 【Mythallar】, especially since mortals ascending to godhood still have some mortal habits. If one really goes to provoke them without knowing death, others may not necessarily buy the Magic Goddess's face.

But in any case, compared to before, this can be called the best possible good news!

……

After leaving the Reception Room, Kelanni also followed out and even held one of Xia Duo's arms, which made Xia Duo's body somewhat stiff.

Since becoming an Official Mage, apart from Niya, he had never had such close contact with anyone else, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

But Kelanni only loosened her grip slightly without letting go completely, and even leaned closer, while simultaneously making a request to Xia Duo in an extremely weak voice:

"Accompany me for a walk!"

Xia Duo certainly dared not refuse, so he followed Kelanni's guidance and walked out of the Tower of Wind Song. The old Mage who had sent him here was not outside, and the Mages who had been gathered to welcome him at the entrance of the School had also disappeared.

But the problem is—this is a School after all, and the Tower of Wind Song is the most conspicuous main tower in this higher Magic Academy. As soon as Xia Duo came out, he felt seven or eight gazes cast upon him.

Afterwards, as he and Kelanni walked away in the School, more and more elves paid attention to them, and in the end, even spell observation came.

This was really not the result Xia Duo wanted, so he whispered to remind Kelanni, "Someone is watching us, isn't this not very good?"

"Don't care about the gazes of others; adapt first, and you will slowly get used to it later."

Kelanni still went her own way, even holding her head high, generously displaying her graceful figure, seemingly not affected at all.

Seeing the other party say this, Xia Duo did not say anything more, but he always felt that the other party doing this seemed to have a deeper meaning; after all, the other party's status is placed there, making it inevitable for people to make associations.

Just like this, the two walked all the way south from the Tower of Wind Song, passing by one building after another in the school, until they reached a garden. Although there were many onlookers along the way, no one came to disturb them.

Xia Duo even clearly felt that there were elves clearing the road in advance on their path, so walking along this way, he basically didn't meet many elves.

After entering the garden, Kelanni's pace quickened slightly, pulling Xia Duo toward the depths of the garden, which made Xia Duo confirm again that the other party had a deeper meaning.

It was not until they encountered a golden beech tree growing between two pure white stone pillars that Kelanni stopped her steps and raised her other empty hand, reaching forward to grasp the air.

Just when Xia Duo was still thinking about what was special about this golden beech tree, the tree actually turned into a stream of light without any sense of incongruity and flew into Kelanni's hand. When the light dissipated, it actually turned into—

A stack of Golden Pages with free-floating silver Fuwu on the surface!

Nether Scroll?! Xia Duo was greatly surprised, but then Kelanni stuffed the stack of Golden Pages into his hand and explained:

"These don't mean much to elves, but they can improve the relationship between humans and elves. I am just returning them to you in advance now."

Xia Duo suddenly realized; it turned out that Kelanni already knew about the agreement reached between Crown King Yinaole and the Seven Towers, and her doing this now seemed to be expressing her approval in her own way, only—

"Then what about Crown King Yinaole's side?"

"He will agree; this is part of the agreement, isn't it?"

In other words, Yinaole should not know about it yet. Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a headache, not knowing whether to accept this Nether Scroll that was delivered to his door.

But obviously, Kelanni had already made the decision for him; after all, the things were already stuffed into his hands, he couldn't just throw them away on the spot!

And just as Xia Duo was hesitating, a sharp voice came down from above the garden: "Who are you? Why trespass into Zhi Hui Yuan?"

But then the voice became even sharper, nearly insane, and uttered a term Xia Duo had never heard of before—"Quis Aertranswar!"

The next moment, the Magic Net inside the garden began to become active, and overwhelming pressure swept in from all directions, seemingly ready to erupt with a fierce blow at any time.

Xia Duo couldn't help but look at Kelanni beside him with worry in his eyes, "My Lady—"

"Please watch a free grand show!" Kelanni said with a faint smile.
