Chapter five hundred and sixty fifth: mother-in-law
“The holy tree is blooming.”
The elf queen Hillman sat on the throne, closing her eyes to breathe the fragrant fragrance of the holy tree. The fragrance of the holy tree is a poison that will be dying for other races, but for the elves, it is a treasure comparable to the fountain of life, and can extend the life and youth of the elves.
The sacred tree blooms, and it is rare to see in a thousand years. Many elves have not even encountered the miracle of the sacred tree blooming in their entire lives.
Hillman should have enjoyed the ceremony of the blooming of the holy tree, but her expression was not pleasant and intoxicated, but was extremely solemn.
"Mother-in-law, how many times is this blooming?"
Hillman slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at the silver-haired elf sitting beside him. The silver-haired elf had a beautiful face, even more beautiful than Hillman, who was the queen. But everyone in the elves called the silver-haired elf "Mother-in-law".
No one knows what mother-in-law’s real name is. She is called this only because she has always called herself “mother-in-law”.
The people of the Elf tribe only know that the mother-in-law is the elf who has lived the longest. The years she has lived are probably as long as the history of the Elf tribe. The mother-in-law is also the strongest elves. Even Queen Hillman was the one who has raised her.
The elf tribe admires and loves Dae’s mother-in-law very much. In addition to her mother-in-law having the most beautiful appearance, the highest seniority and the strongest strength, she is also the only elf who can communicate and talk to the world holy tree.
"The eighth time." The mother-in-law replied.
Hillman whispered: "A long time ago, the Holy Elf Maya once predicted that the world's holy tree can only bloom nine times. The ninth time the holy tree blooms means the end of the world. Now the holy tree has bloomed eight times. Mother-in-law, do you think Maya's prophecy is true?"
"Maybe." The mother-in-law replied.
This slightly perfunctory answer made Hillman frown slightly.
Although the sacred tree blooms once in a thousand years, even if Maya's prophecy is true, it will be at least a thousand years later. Even as the elf queen, she will find it difficult to have a lifespan of a thousand years. At that time, she did not need to experience the prophetic end of the world.
But if the prophecy of the end of the world is true, where should the elves go thousands of years later?
The only thing Hillman could do was to judge the authenticity of Mayan's prophecy in order to remind the elves of later generations, and the only thing she could ask was her mother-in-law who had experienced eight times of blooming the holy tree and lived for at least eight thousand years.
Hillman asked again: "Mother-in-law, can you not even confirm the authenticity of the Mayan prophecy?"
"Um."
The mother-in-law, sitting on the snow-white futon, nodded casually, moved slightly, and the hem of the black long skirt moved gently, revealing a small piece of ankle, which was even whiter than the futon.
Hillman glanced inadvertently, feeling a little envious. The elf queen could not resist the destruction of time. One day her skin would age, turn yellow and wrinkles, but the mother-in-law, who had lived for a long time, seemed to be like this. Eternal youth is something that any woman longed for, and the elf queen was no exception.
"Mother-in-law, if the disaster of the end of the world comes, will you still be immortal?" Hillman couldn't help asking.
"Maybe." said the mother-in-law.
Hillman looked shocked, always feeling something was wrong with her mother-in-law today.
She turned her head and found that her mother-in-law was indeed absent-minded, so she asked, "Mother-in-law, is something happening? Why do you seem to be worried?"
My mother-in-law was silent for a long time and said something that made Hillman confused, "I have been waiting for ten thousand years, and he has finally come."
"he?"
Hillman asked, "Who is he?"
The mother-in-law rarely smiled, and the slightly rippling smile on the corner of her mouth made her beautiful face so beautiful, "He is the one I have been waiting for for ten thousand years."
Having said the answer was equivalent to not saying it, and the somewhat cute tone made Hillman a little confused. Is this still the cold and cool mother-in-law she knew who saw through the world and was transcendent?
Who is it that makes mother-in-law so strange?
And ten thousand years, how long is this?
Hillman said curiously: "Mother-in-law, who is he?"
The mother-in-law smiled, "You will see him soon."
Hillman was slightly stunned and became even more curious.
At this moment, a rapid footstep sounded from outside the cemetery, and a female elf in a guard uniform broke in.
"Not good, Lord Queen!" The elf guard broke into the queen's bedroom in an anxious tone.
Hillman frowned, "Captain Guard, what urgent matter is that you dare to trek into my bedroom?"
The elf guard in front of him was the guard Chang Shuili, appointed by Hillman. He always followed the rules and was so anxious that he forgot to report and broke in directly. No need to think about it, it must be an urgent matter.
When the guard chief Shuili heard this, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to knock on the door and reported it. He quickly knelt down and apologized, "I'm sorry, this fact is because my subordinates are in a hurry. I hope the queen will forgive me."
Hillman waved his hand, "Forget it, since it's an urgent matter, let's talk about it quickly."
Shui Lian seemed to be in a state of tension and shock, and hesitated: "Little Princess, Little Princess"
Hillman frowned even deeper, "What happened to that girl?"
Queen Hillman has never been satisfied with her daughter Vilishi Huali. She always feels that the child is too lively and active. She is not outstanding in her cultivation talent and runs into the forest all day long. It is difficult for her to become a great man in the future. She is afraid she is not qualified to inherit her queen throne.
Hillman only hoped that the child would not lose the royal face, but something unexpected happened.
Shui Lian said in a trembling voice: "The little princess has brought back a human!"
"What!"
Hillman stared at the throne in disbelief.
"Hey, I beg you, don't follow me again!"
Sakura cried with a sad face and begged Shi Xiaobai, who was determined to follow him behind her butt, and walked forward to the territory of the elf. When the guards saw a human being following him and the little princess, something big would happen.
Not to mention that you have made a big mistake by bringing back a human, more importantly, the elves have always hated humans. Those shameless human vendors have captured elves and sold slaves to nobles, which have long aroused an unresolved hatred between the two tribes. If the guards saw humans appear at the gate of the territory, they would definitely kill them on the spot without saying a word.
Although Sakura hates humans, she has to admit that this human teenager who would rather bleed on her arms than hurt the little princess is not that annoying. She is kind and does not want the teenager to die here.
Sakura stopped and said with a calm face: "Don't follow me anymore. I said that the elves hated the most is humans. The guards will not listen to your defense, nor will they show mercy. They will definitely kill you when they see you!"
