From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 418 - 283 Queen Orelana
Chapter 418: Chapter 283 Queen Orelana
Black Field had planned to smear Lu Heng by whispering misleading information into Fiona’s ear, yet he ended up making a fool of himself.
After hearing Lu Heng’s words, Fiona immediately showed friendliness.
Capable individuals can always be treated with respect, no matter where they are.
Moreover, Fiona was well aware that the level 3 special effect of her War Spear could only be realized by a master-level Quenching Master.
If it were only an advanced Quenching Master, it wouldn’t have warranted such friendliness from Fiona, but a master-level Quenching Master deserved such respect.
After all, there weren’t many master-level Quenching Masters among the Elf Clan.
She had made numerous requests to the Quenching Workshop to upgrade her War Spear’s Armor Piercing special effect, but the workshop kept delaying her, claiming they were too busy.
Lately, due to the preparations needed for the Abyss Summoner crisis, every weapon of the Elf Guard required an upgrade, making the Quenching Workshop busier than ever.
Without Lu Heng’s help, she wouldn’t have been able to use the level 3 Spirit Injection special effect on her War Spear.
Fiona invited Lu Heng to walk with her along the Magic Moat. "The efficiency of the recent weapon upgrades is much higher than before, and I’ve heard that a human Quenching Master has arrived in the Quenching Workshop—it must be you. Thank you very much for your assistance to our Elf Clan."
"You’re welcome," Lu Heng replied politely.
As they walked along the Magic Moat, moving forward would lead them into the Queen’s Palace.
Thus, Black Field was stopped by the guard at the entrance, but the guards didn’t stop Lu Heng.
Black Field felt indignant, knowing that ahead was the Queen’s Palace.
As usual, he was not allowed to enter the palace, but what he couldn’t accept was that the guards didn’t stop Lu Heng either.
He immediately spoke up to remind them, "General Fiona, it may not be appropriate for these two to enter the palace, right?"
Fiona too found it strange since she hadn’t planned on taking them into the palace. She turned and asked, "Elf guards at the palace entrance, why haven’t you stopped them?"
The Elf guard replied, bowing their heads, "They have the Magic Tower Badge. According to regulations, those in possession of the badge, when necessary, have the authority to meet with the Queen directly."
Upon hearing that, Fiona’s surprise grew even more. "You have the Magic Tower Badge?"
The significance of the Magic Tower Badge far surpasses that of a master-level Quenching Master.
Because the Magic Tower Badge could only be bestowed by the Great Arcanist Augustus, having this badge was akin to having the freedom to enter and leave most areas of the Elf Royal City, with only a few forbidden places off-limits.
Typically, those holding the Magic Tower Badge were granted authority by the Great Arcanist Augustus himself.
Especially during critical moments, those with the Magic Tower Badge could meet the Queen to report urgent news.
Of course, Lu Heng didn’t have any urgent matters to report at the moment.
"Uh, yes, I have a Magic Tower Badge."
"Have you met Lord Augustus?"
"We have."
"I see, it seems you’re held in high esteem by Lord Augustus. I’m about to see the Queen, you may join me," Fiona said and then stepped towards the palace.
Lu Heng had been in the Inner City for quite a few days now, and it was about time to meet Queen Orelana of the Elves.
There were 12 days left until the Abyss Battlefield ended, and as the crisis drew closer, it was time to make preparations.
Black Field watched as Lu Heng disappeared with Fiona into the palace, his face revealing a look of resentment.
He had thought that among the human Superpower Users, he would be the one to gain favor with the upper echelon of the Elf Clan the quickest.
After all, he possessed data on the Quel’dorei World.
Indeed, he had data on Elf Civilization.
The group of human Superpower Users who had been summoned were not the first.
Humans had been summoned before, and naturally, human forces had obtained Elf Civilization data.
Since human powers had the data, naturally, some had scrutinized it.
Black Field was one who had reviewed the Elf Civilization data and had been lucky enough to be summoned.
When he appeared in the Moonshadow Forest, he showcased his strength right away, claiming to possess Elf Civilization data, and wanted Lu Heng and Rong Xincheng’s teams to ally with him.
Of course, his initial proposition for an alliance with Lu Heng and Rong Xincheng was not to seek true allies, but vassals.
This was characteristic of the White Eagle Federation, where allies could be bled dry and, if necessary, be used as cannon fodder.
If nations behaved thus, Superpower Users would only be more ruthless.
Black Field wanted nothing more than two teams that could serve as cannon fodder anytime, and his advantage was clear: holding the Elf Civilization data was like winning at the starting line.
It wasn’t by chance that he met Elf Guard General Fiona in the wilderness.
He had deliberately sought out Fiona because the data mentioned that Fiona would personally lead the Queen’s Elf Guards to clear Demons around Moon God Lake periodically, to prevent them from contaminating the Elf Clan’s water source.
Moon God Lake was the main water source for the Elf Royal City of Keros, located upstream.
Therefore, the Elf Guard was stationed there all year round.
However, guarding alone was not enough; the plains and hills around Moon God Lake needed regular clearing.
This task was important, and Fiona was always in charge of it.
She would leave the city for seven days each month to carry out the clearing mission at Moon God Lake.
Black Field held the data that included this information, so he specifically brought people to camp near Moon God Lake and then followed Fiona to hunt Demons, serving as a stepping stone for this female general, eventually entering the Elf Royal City on her coattails.
