Chapter 750: Again Seeing the Prophecy
Zhao Hai calmly appeared outside the palace of the Elven Race and walked towards it. The elven guards at the palace looked at Zhao Hai in confusion; they knew it was already the third time he had come to the Elven Race in the past two days. They really couldn’t understand what Zhao Hai was here for. If there were issues at the frontlines, they should have been informed, yet there had been no reports of any problems, which left them very puzzled.
However, they did not ask, as the queen had already issued an order that Zhao Hai could go directly to her upon arrival without needing to report. So, they politely invited Zhao Hai into the palace.
The queen and the grand elders were waiting in the palace for news from Zhao Hai. At this time, they could not return to their residences for seclusion. If there was indeed a problem with the tree of life, it would be troublesome for everyone.
Just then, an elder opened his eyes and said, “He has arrived.”
Everyone in the hall stood up, anxiously looking towards the entrance. After a moment, Zhao Hai slowly walked in. The queen immediately dismissed the guards following him and invited Zhao Hai into the hall, where everyone looked at him eagerly.
Seeing their expressions, Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “I have not let you down!”
Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, the grand elders and the queen of the Elven Race couldn’t help but cheer. This matter was extremely important to them.
The queen and the grand elders all bowed to Zhao Hai, but he quickly motioned for them to rise. “Your Majesty, esteemed elders, you are too polite. We are allies now, and it is only right for us to help each other in times of need. Please, do not stand on ceremony.”
The queen and the grand elders stood up. The queen looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Although you say this, you deserve this bow, sir. You may not know what the tree of life means to us as the Elven Race. By saving the tree of life, you are saving our entire Elven Tribe. It is only right that we show you our gratitude.”
Though the other elders of the Elven Race did not speak, they all looked at Zhao Hai with gratitude. Zhao Hai smiled at their expressions and said, “Your Majesty, elders, let’s return the tree of life to its rightful place. There are matters at the frontlines, and I cannot be away for too long.”
The queen quickly replied, “Alright, please follow me.” She then led Zhao Hai to the back courtyard of the palace, where they mounted the Clear Tone Bird and headed directly to the cave of stabilization for the tree of life.
Upon arriving at the cave, Zhao Hai did not hesitate and directly placed the tree of life into the pool. Seeing the tree of life appearing even more vibrant than before, the elves couldn’t help but cheer.
Zhao Hai smiled at their reaction and turned to the queen, saying, “Your Majesty, the tree of life hasn’t contracted any illness; rather, it was invaded by a large amount of dark energy, which caused it to slowly wither. I used a secret technique to absorb the dark energy and applied some potions. Now the tree of life is no longer afraid of dark energy invading it. However, you should remain vigilant; it is indeed strange for dark energy to be present in a place like the Elf Forest.”
Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, the queen and the elders were momentarily stunned. Then, several of them looked at Zhao Hai with grave expressions and asked, “Is what you said true? The tree of life really was invaded by dark energy?”
Zhao Hai nodded and replied, “Yes, I would not dare to hide this from Your Majesty. The tree of life was indeed invaded by dark energy; this is absolutely true.”
The queen turned to the elders, and they exchanged glances before sighing, “We didn’t expect this day to come.”
Upon hearing the elders say this, Zhao Hai was taken aback and looked at them in confusion. The queen, noticing his puzzled expression, said solemnly, “You may not know, but there is also a prophecy within our Elven Race, although it is different from that of the dwarf clan. The prophecy of the dwarf clan is written on the first page of their internal history, while our prophecy has been sealed away, only to be opened under special circumstances.”
