After planning how to settle the goblins, everyone immediately acted according to the division of labor. In an instant, only Lu Yunrui, Kimura, Monty, and Alice were left in the cabin.
" Uncle," Lu Yunrui said to Kimura," I want to leave here tomorrow to find the dwarves." Who do you want to be my guide?”
Without waiting for Kimura to answer, Meng Te said,""Why are you looking for a guide? When you leave, I will accompany you!”
"That won't do!" Lu Yunrui quickly said. You are the captain of the village guards and have the responsibility of protecting the village. How can you leave?”
"No problem!" Kimura smiled. If he left, someone else would take over the position and it would not harm the village's interests at all. Besides, with him accompanying you, I'll be more at ease. This matter was decided, there was no need to change it. However, before you leave, it's best to make a trip to the elven castle first.”
After Kimura's reminder, Lu Yunrui suddenly remembered that more than ten days ago, the Elf King had sent an envoy back to the village with a villager. They had contacted each other and had sent an invitation to him on behalf of the Elf King, and he had accepted the invitation.
"Thank you for your reminder, uncle!" I almost forgot about it if you didn't mention it. How about this? I'll pay a visit to the Elf King tomorrow and then go directly to the Dwarf Race. I'll come back to you after I'm done with what I need to do. What do you think?"
"That's good too." Kimura nodded. I'll go back and explain the things in the village. I'll go with you tomorrow.”
"Uncle, don't go." Lu Yunrui quickly said. You're already so old, how can I ask you to travel for me again?”
Kimura laughed. Why don't I feel anything?"
Lu Yunrui wanted to say more, but Alice said,""Grandpa, what about me?"
"What's wrong?" Kimura was stunned.
"All of you are leaving, but I'm the only one left!" Alice pouted.”
Kimura smiled and tapped Alice's forehead.""Girl, you want to go out and be crazy, don't you?”
Alice grabbed Kimura's arm and shook it.""I've never left the forest since I was born. This time, please let me go out with my two brothers!”
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Yunrui, hinting for Lu Yunrui to speak up for him.
"Alice, didn't your grandfather say that the continent is unstable?" Lu Yunrui asked. I think you should stay!"
Hearing this, Alice threw away Kimura's arm and stomped her foot.""I thought you could say a few words for me. I didn't expect you to add insult to injury. I won't talk to you anymore!"
After saying that, he turned around and gave Lu Yunrui a back-facing.
"I've spoiled this girl!”Kimura smiled apologetically at Lu Yunrui.
"Why don't we let her come with us?" Lu Yunrui shrugged helplessly. I'll bring a few more robots. There shouldn't be too much of a problem!”
Hearing this, Alice's anger immediately turned into joy. She turned around and said with a smile,""That's a good brother!"
Lu Yunrui could only smile bitterly.
The next morning, Lu Yunrui brought four robots to the Elf Village. They met up with Kimura and the others and rushed to the Elf Castle together. Titan and Water Two were left behind to settle down the gnomes and guard the house. Apart from Kimura, Monty, and Alice, ten other people from the Elf Village were selected to be the guards and accompany Lu Yunrui on the long journey.
Before leaving, Lu Yunrui gave Kimura a copy of the Tao Te Ching that he had prepared beforehand.
Along the way, the group of people chatted and laughed. It was not lonely. However, Alice seemed to have been at odds with Lu Yunrui. She was always arguing with him, causing him a headache. In the end, it was Kimura who threatened Alice by not allowing her to follow Lu Yunrui and the others out of the house that made her quiet down.
After two days of traveling, they passed through eight or nine elven villages. Everywhere they went, Lu Yunrui and the others were warmly welcomed and received. Every time they left an elf village, someone would join the team.
On this day, after walking for more than half a day, according to Kimura, they were less than ten miles away from the elven castle.
An elf from another village rushed to the elf castle to report to the elf king. Lu Yunrui and the others couldn't help but secretly quicken their pace.
After walking for more than an hour and passing through a large dense forest, everyone's eyes lit up. They had arrived at an empty land.
In the distance, a towering green castle stood proudly. Through the gaps in the tall city walls formed by trees, the wooden houses and palaces in the city could be vaguely seen.
As the group of people gradually approached, a horn sounded from the top of the city wall. Immediately after, music began to play, and the city gate slowly opened. Two teams of elf archers carried bows and arrows on their backs and rushed out of the city. They lined up on both sides of the city gate and bowed in the direction of the newcomers. Then, a group of elves escorted a middle-aged man wearing a crown out of the city and stood quietly in front of the city gate.
Under Kimura's guidance, Lu Yunrui walked quickly to the middle-aged man.
"This is our king, His Majesty Gaia Idemir Mastotti!”Kimura first introduced the middle-aged man with the crown to Lu Yunrui, then to Gaia,""This is Lu Yunrui, Mr. Lu!”
Gaia bowed to Lu Yunrui. Your arrival has added luster to our entire castle!”
"Your Majesty, you're too polite!" Lu Yunrui hurriedly returned the greeting. Ever since I came to this continent, I've been treated with great hospitality by the elves. Elder Kimura even treated me as his nephew. I can't repay such kindness and can only remember it.”
Gaia smiled." I've heard from my people that the Chosen One is humble, polite, and approachable. Seeing it today, he was indeed telling the truth!”
As he spoke, he introduced the elders of the clan to Lu Yunrui.
After a short exchange of greetings, the group of people entered the castle amidst the sound of drums and music. They chatted and laughed all the way to the palace in the center of the city.
On both sides of the street, many elves flocked to the streets to welcome the guests. Wherever Lu Yunrui went, there were constant shouts of " welcoming the Chosen One ", attracting many merchants from various races who were doing business in the elven castle. After understanding the truth of the matter, these merchants also joined the ranks of the welcoming crowd.
When they arrived at the main hall, everyone had just sat down when the caravan masters who had stayed in the castle rushed over and asked for an audience outside the hall. Gaia naturally couldn't bear to ignore everyone's wishes, so she ordered the elves to open up seats and invite the caravan leaders to attend the banquet. Fortunately, there were many elves in the hall, and it didn't take long for the seats to be filled. The merchants outside the hall also filed in. After paying their respects to the Elf King, they were arranged to sit in the seats.
At this moment, Lu Yunrui's seat had also changed. He was invited to the high platform in the hall and sat side by side with Gaia. The four robots he brought stood behind him.
"Mister Lu, it's our great honor to have you as a guest in our castle. Let us toast to your arrival!”
Lu Yunrui hurriedly raised his cup and said loudly,"It should be my honor to be summoned by His Majesty. Let us all drink this cup together!"”
Everyone agreed and raised their glasses to drink.
Putting down the cup, Lu Yunrui said," This is the first time I'm meeting Your Majesty. I don't have any good gifts for Your Majesty. I only brought some random things with me to express my sincerity." I hope Your Majesty doesn't think I'm shallow!”
As he spoke, he waved his left hand, and a pile of items appeared in the air above the platform.
The people in the hall couldn't see what was on the high platform. They only saw a few large metal cans and something that looked like leather. However, Gaia, who was close by, saw it clearly. The leather and the weapons scattered on the stage were all exquisite. Moreover, from the messengers he had sent before, he had already learned that Lu Yunrui had mana amplification potions. Although he couldn't see what was in the metal can, Gaia could guess.
"Hehe, Mr. Lu is too polite! Such an expensive gift, and Mr. Lu still has to say something bad, then we are blind!”Elf King Gaia said with a smile.
Everyone below the stage, except for Kimura and the others, was shocked when they heard this. The merchants, in particular, showed great interest in those items. There were even many people who disregarded etiquette and stood up to look at the stage. However, due to the distance, they couldn't see clearly even if they craned their necks.
"Your Majesty Elf King, I wonder if you can bring some of those gifts for us to feast our eyes on?”A merchant asked the Elf King.
Gaia didn't reply and looked at Lu Yunrui.
"Since it's a gift for Your Majesty, Your Majesty can decide!" Lu Yunrui smiled.”
Gaia nodded at Lu Yunrui and summoned a few servants to take out some samples for everyone to take a look. She also ordered people to put the gifts into the storeroom. Of course, everyone only saw a sword, a fork, and a piece of leather. The metal can was carried away before it was opened. No one knew what was inside.
However, everyone who saw the three items praised them as good things, which increased their curiosity about the items in the metal cans and made them guess what was inside. During this time, Kimura walked up to the high platform and whispered into the Elf King's ear for a while. Not only did he make the Elf King nod, but he also summoned several elders of the Elf Tribe to the stage to whisper together. This attracted everyone's attention and confusion.
Fortunately, this confusion did not last long before it was resolved by the Elf King's words.
"Mr. Lu, the First Elder Kimura told me that he has reached an agreement with you on behalf of the Elf Tribe. We will be allies from now on. I've also exchanged opinions with the other elders, and everyone has agreed to cooperate with you. "From now on, the entire elf race will be your partners. If you have any problems in the future, feel free to come to us for help. We will definitely do our best to help. Please enlighten me, Mr. Lu!" Gaia cupped his hands towards Lu Yunrui.
"Your Majesty is too polite! It is my honor to receive the help of the Elf Clan. I don't dare to teach you, but as long as I can help, I will do my best!”"Let's toast to our future cooperation!" Lu Yunrui said as she raised her glass.”
The elves in the hall raised their glasses with Lu Yunrui and drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.
At this moment, Gaia was clearly in a good mood.
Putting down the wine cup, Gaia shouted,""Let's have fun!"
