Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 84: Unicorn Mountains
After the Alchemy Orangutan reported again, Mrs. Michelle was soon summoned by King Sanye.
Entering the hall, Lady Michelle saluted the Three-Leaf King on the throne, and then saluted the elven elders sitting on both sides: "Your Majesty, good day! Elders, good day! I just received a message from the Empire that the first batch of aid materials has departed from Mosel Port. If there is no wind or waves, the lead ship will arrive at the Emerald King's Court early tomorrow morning.
The reason I’m here to meet you is to discuss how to quickly complete the handover of the supplies so that they can be distributed to the elves in need as soon as possible.”
King Sanye was very happy to hear that the support from the Golden Shield Empire was about to arrive. He was just worried about the increasing number of refugees in the city, and this amount of supplies could greatly ease the pressure on the Emerald King's Court.
"Mrs. Michelle, please take a seat." King Sanye invited Mrs. Michelle to sit down and thanked her, "I am very grateful to the Golden Shield Empire for its support to the Emerald Forest. When we get through this crisis, the Emerald Forest will definitely repay the Golden Shield Empire for its kindness to the forest elves."
Mrs. Michelle said: "The Golden Shield Empire and the Emerald Forest have always maintained fair and friendly trade. Now and in the future, the Empire will shoulder the responsibilities we should shoulder and continue to maintain world free trade. As a country that relies heavily on maritime trade, the Emerald Forest can consider deeper cooperation with the Empire."
King Sanye knew that the Golden Shield Empire would not simply help the Emerald Forest out of kindness. At a critical juncture when the Golden Shield Empire was sanctioned and blocked by the World Bank, if the Emerald Forest, as an important part of world trade, could join the Golden Shield Empire, it would certainly give the Golden Shield Empire more room for maneuver in its confrontation with the World Bank.
But joining the Golden Shield Empire means becoming enemies with the World Bank.
Unlike the Golden Shield Empire, the Emerald Forest does not have a huge domestic market, a complete industrial system, or the trump card of energy. The Emerald Forest, which only has the advantage of alchemy technology, is too easy to be targeted. Not only will it be sanctioned by the World Bank, but it is also not of the same size as the Golden Shield Empire and may eventually become a vassal of the empire...
Or be swallowed up!
"The Emerald Forest has always supported free trade and does not want to join any confrontation. We will definitely repay the assistance given to the Emerald Forest by the Golden Shield Empire double.
Madam, please understand our difficulties. Even if the forest elves can survive this disaster, they will focus on reconstruction and have no energy to take care of other things. "
Mrs. Michelle had not thought that she could convince King Sanye to make such a major decision. She did not continue this sensitive topic and said, "The Empire's assistance to the Emerald Forest is a humanitarian rescue. Before I came, the Prime Minister of Meteorite specifically told me that there were no additional political conditions for this rescue.
Your Majesty does not need to worry too much."
King Sanye originally thought that since he refused to take sides, the Golden Shield Empire would threaten him with aid materials, but he did not expect that Mrs. Michelle would just take it away so lightly.
"The Prime Minister of Meteorite is a very forward-looking and wise human. Although I have never met him, many legendary stories about him have come to the Emerald King's Court across the ocean. He quelled the various divisions and conflicts within the empire and drove the invading At County coalition forces out of your land.
In particular, the challenge he launched to the World Bank made all members of the human civilization circle admire him greatly.
Although the Jade King Court cannot openly stand on the side of the Empire, we will never allow anyone to interfere with our normal communication and trade."
Mrs. Michelle said, "Your Majesty, you know that I am a technical bureaucrat and the president of the Alchemist Association of Fury City. I have always admired the alchemy technology of the Emerald Forest. When I was chatting with your servant just now, I was also shocked by the magic of alchemical creatures.
I have an idea, can Emerald Forest send a group of excellent alchemists to the Alchemist Association of Raging Waves City to help us improve our alchemy techniques and craftsmanship?"
If it were in the past, King Sanye would definitely not teach his eating skills to outsiders.
But he was not willing to give back what he had received. He had just refused to join the Golden Shield Empire in its fight against the World Bank. If he refused to send alchemists to the Alchemist Association of Nutao City, it would be a disrespect to the Golden Shield Empire.
The aid from the Golden Shield Empire must arrive at the port smoothly, and as for the leakage of technology...there is no time to consider that.
"That's no problem." King Sanye said after a brief consideration, "I will select the alchemists who will go to Raging Waves City and have them board the ship to Raging Waves City as soon as possible."
Mrs. Michelle immediately said, "I want to participate in the selection... I am not questioning your Majesty's intentions, I just want to choose a suitable alchemist to make up for our shortcomings in alchemy technology."
King Sanye's idea of sending some ordinary alchemists randomly was extinguished. He could only think of secretly instructing the selected alchemists not to reveal too many secrets.
As a technical bureaucrat, Mishier could of course guess what King Sanye was thinking, but she was not afraid that the elven alchemists would not work hard. As long as the alchemists who went to Fury City had real skills, they would definitely not be indifferent to Fury City's advanced magic engineering system. Magic technology requires high-end alchemy technology, and the better the alchemists, the more comfortable they will feel in Fury City.
The Prime Minister of Meteorite said...Technology has no borders!
With the initial feedback, Lady Michelle began to negotiate with King Sanye about sending supporting materials to the Emerald King's Court.
At this time, Qingkong and his group, who had gone deep into the Emerald Forest, finally reached the Horsemane area of the Unicorn Mountains.
The headhunters along the way were too dense, and the grassy territories created by the hunters were almost one after another. The tall trees were flattened, and all they saw was open land, and the woods where people could hide were sparse and rare.
Because this was just an exploration and they couldn't alert the headhunters, Qingkong and his party could only take detours to explore. Fortunately, after spending some time, they finally entered the mountainous area where the hunting queen's nest was located.
Qingkong and Professor Makatina hid in the only remaining forest on a mountain ridge. They wore camouflage smocks and hid in the trees. Headhunters passed by from time to time under the trees. They were very thin and short, wearing simple leather bags, holding stone weapons, and speaking in an incomprehensible language.
Professor Makatina carefully controlled a bunch of vines under the tree. The sharp barbs on the vines forced the headhunters to avoid them. The fragrance of the blooming flowers well covered up the smell of the elves.
Qingkong's spiritual orb glowed faintly and established a circle of spiritual barrier, which could effectively block the scanning of spiritual detection skills.
This place is close to the hunting queen's lair, so it is not surprising that there are some special hunters and hunting kings.
After a while, the branches of a nearby tree shook, and a hunter weasel rider jumped along the branches and ran straight towards the clear sky.
Jumping to the branch where Qingkong was sitting, the weasel first braked suddenly, and then turned into a black cat.
The hunter on the cat's back shrank and turned into the Rat Knight Dark Night.
Qingkong asked, "Have you found the hunting queen's lair?"
"Found it!" The sheriff replied, "Your Majesty, you have a way to let the angel Siphos tell us the location of the Queen's lair. I guess he is still dreaming of revenge on you."
Qingkong fired an air bomb and hit the sheriff on the forehead: "We will be discovered by the headhunters at any time here, get to the point!"
The sheriff hit An Ye with his tail and asked her to stand guard.
Dark Night used energy simulation and mental mimicry to transform himself into a headhunter and jumped onto other trees in just a few leaps.
The sheriff said, "The Queen Hunting Lair is in a cave at the bottom of the Fourth Mane Canyon. The riverbed is dry, and the headhunters have planted tall grass all over the valley floor, and there are so many headhunters inside that they are butting their heads.
We have scouted in other directions and found no shortcut into the cave. If we want to get in, we can only fight our way through the river."
Qingkong asked, "Didn't you enter the cave?"
The sheriff made a helpless expression: "Although Dark Night and I were impeccably disguised, those stupid headhunters could not recognize us at all, but the cave leading to the nest was sealed. A very large spider set up a large web at the entrance of the cave, and those inside could not get out, and those outside could not get in.
And that spider is different from the hunter, it looks very smart and powerful, maybe it is a hunter king."
The Hunting King is guarding the gate, allowing people in but not out. It seems that the Hunting Queen is very cautious.
Just finding a cave entrance is not enough to accurately locate the Hunting Queen's nest. The angel Siphos cannot tell the exact location of the nest in the cave. He only knows that the cave is very deep and complicated.
Qingkong thought about the countermeasures, and after a while he said, "You guys escort Professor Makatina back."
The sheriff asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, you won't come with us?"
Professor Makatina guessed what Qingkong was going to do and stopped him, saying, "Miss Xingkong, do you want to break into the Queen's lair alone? This is not a wise decision. It is very dangerous to rush into the Queen's lair without knowing the situation inside.
We can think of other ways.
For example, request His Majesty King Sanye to send an elite patrol to airdrop here and directly enter the nest to hunt down the queen. "
Qingkong stood up and walked to the edge of the branch, looking towards the valley, and then said to Professor Makatina: "You and I both know that the river channel of the Fourth Mane Canyon is wide, and the Queen of Hunting has ambushed a large number of troops in the grassy beach of the river channel. It will cost a lot to attack the grassy beach of the river channel. In addition, the Queen of Hunting has sealed the cave leading to the nest, which means that the nest has another connecting passage with the hunters outside. Once the patrol soldiers are trapped in the river battlefield, they will be overwhelmed by the endless stream of hunters.
The best way to eliminate the Hunting Queen is to pull her out, which requires locating her lair as accurately as possible."
"But...but you can't take such a big risk."
Clear Sky said confidently, "There is a little risk, but I have a suitable plan that can greatly increase the chances of killing the Queen of Hunting."
The sheriff stood up on his hind legs, waved his front paws and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I will go with you to hunt down the Queen's Lair. As your most reliable and loyal mount, I will definitely carry you back the same way I carried you in."
Qingkong smiled and said, "I guess the Hunting Queen has already cultivated hunters targeting me. Plus there are an uncertain number of Hunting Kings inside. I don't have the energy to protect you."
The sheriff said solemnly: "I am willing to give my life for your majesty."
"Don't you really believe in my ability? Follow my orders and escort Professor Makatina back to the academy with Dark Night. When the Prime Minister of Meteorite arrives at the Emerald King's Court, he will know what to do next."
"His Majesty……"
"Follow orders!"
"Yes, yes... yes, Your Majesty!"
The sheriff imitated the sound of an insect and summoned the dark night.
Professor Makatina said to Qingkong worriedly: "Ms. Xingkong... No, Your Majesty, will you not reconsider it?"
"This is the decision I made after careful consideration. Let's go quickly and don't waste time! If a fight breaks out, you might be discovered by the headhunters."
Seeing Qingkong's resolute attitude, Professor Makatina had no choice but to follow the Sheriff and An Ye and leave. She wanted to return to the academy as soon as possible to inform Dean Vidal of the news.
like……
If Qingkong were to be hunted, I wonder what kind of powerful hunter the Emerald King’s Court would face.
Qingkong stood on the branch and watched Makatina, the Sheriff, and Dark Night move away from the tree until he could no longer see their figures or sense their presence.
It’s been a long time since I used the Wushuang game to mow the lawn!
Qingkong took off her smock, revealing her combat uniform. She reached out and pulled out the Stardust and Chenzhan double swords from the scabbards at her waist, and stretched out her ice crystal wings on her back.
The wings swept through the surrounding branches and the wings stretched out as far as they could.
The noise here immediately attracted the attention of the nearby headhunters. The sound of horns came from the grass outside the woods, and the swaying grass stems formed continuous waves.
With a swish, javelins like a swarm of bees flew up from the grass and covered the clear sky in a black mass.
At this time, rain fell from the cloudless sky.
With a "crackling" sound, the white extremely cold air spread. The rain froze into ice crystals in the freezing air, and then continued to condense into rapidly falling ice arrows.
The dense ice arrows smashed down all the javelins, and then penetrated into the grass layer by layer. The grass had been frozen into ice sculptures, and immediately broke and shattered when hit by the ice arrows, revealing the headhunters hiding in the grass.
The headhunters who were close to the clear sky were frozen into ice sculptures, and those who were farther away were also covered with white frost, curled up and shivered. In a flash, they were pierced by the falling ice arrows and turned into hedgehogs. After falling, their bodies were broken and then smashed into pieces by the subsequent rain of arrows.
With a click!
The branches under Qingkong 's feet broke because they were frozen and covered with too much ice. The branches fell to the ground and picked up a large piece of ice chips.
Qingkong hovered in the air and swung a blade of light towards the valley below.
The blade light flew forward, absorbing ice crystals as it turned, and soon turned into an ice wheel with a diameter of ten meters.
The ice wheel fell to the ground, and rolled down the sloping hillside, crushing it all the way through the grass where the headhunters were hiding.
After throwing out a series of ice wheels, the clear sky soared into the sky, and then dived down towards the valley river. Within the coverage area of the Ice Dance Garden, the ice arrows turned into large hailstones, which continuously tilted towards the grass along the way.
