Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

Chapter 237: Chapter 145: Surrounded by Dark Elves! Such a Big Dark Elf

"Alina, have you been waiting here for us this whole time?"

A flicker of confusion crossed Su Xuan’s eyes as he stared at Princess Alina and asked the question.

At the sight of Alina, the three Dark Elves became extremely tense. They quickly raised their weapons, taking a combat stance.

In response, Alina merely shot them a glance and warned them in a cold voice, "I have a few words to say to him. I’ll deal with you later."

As soon as she finished speaking, Alina’s gaze returned to Su Xuan. She smiled and said, "Breaking Dark Elves out of the Dark Prison is a crime among the Elf Race. According to Elven law, you’re facing at least fifty years of imprisonment. You should be glad the Queen is away on business today, leaving me to temporarily manage the Elf Kingdom’s affairs. Otherwise, you might not have been able to bear the consequences of your foolish actions."

"So, you’re willing to let us go?" Su Xuan asked, a curious expression on his face as he looked at Alina.

He knew, however, that the Elf Queen would never do such a thing.

"I can let you go. I’ll even let you take the three Dark Elves with you. But there’s one condition." Alina extended a slender, jade-like finger, pointing toward the three Dark Elves.

"What’s the condition?"

"Come back here again tonight," Alina said. "I’m planning to create a masterpiece soon, and I’ll need your assistance."

As she spoke, she glanced over Su Xuan’s body and nodded in satisfaction.

"..."

Su Xuan was a bit stunned by Alina’s condition. He couldn’t help but feel that this Elf Princess was a little strange and completely unpredictable.

"Fine, I accept," Su Xuan agreed to Alina’s condition.

"Excellent. As for you..." Alina glided toward the three Dark Elves and said coldly, "You infiltrated the Elf Kingdom to steal three Elf Mother Tree leaves and the Elemental Soil that nourishes it. According to Elven law, you should be imprisoned in the Dark Prison for a hundred years. But because of the Queen’s mercy, she has forgiven your foolishness and greed. I hope you’ll know what’s good for you."

The three Dark Elves stared at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

’Have we really been set free?’

"Take them and go," Alina said softly to Su Xuan with a smile. "Don’t forget what you promised me."

Su Xuan didn’t respond, simply taking the three Dark Elves and leaving immediately.

They hadn’t gone far before the three Dark Elves began to murmur among themselves behind him.

"So the Queen saw everything we did?"

"That’s impossible, right?"

"But she knew our objective! She even knew we stole the Elemental Soil!"

"As expected of the Queen. It seems nothing in the Elf Kingdom escapes her notice."

"But why did she let us go?"

"..."

Su Xuan listened to the Dark Elves’ conversation without interrupting, quietly activating the Teleportation Array.

"Let’s go. We’ll leave through the Teleportation Array," he said to the three Dark Elves.

At that moment, however, the three Dark Elves’ attitude toward Su Xuan suddenly became wary. They had trusted him so easily before because they had no other way out of the Dark Prison, but the situation was different now.

Niru took a few steps forward and looked Su Xuan directly in the eye. "You said you were sent by someone. May I ask who?"

"Come with me, and you’ll find out when we get there. If I really meant you harm, why would I go to all the trouble of rescuing you from the Dark Prison? Wouldn’t it have been much more convenient to just deal with you there?" Su Xuan said flatly.

The three Dark Elves exchanged glances and ultimately chose to trust Su Xuan.

The moment they stepped into the Teleportation Array, they were transported to a Human Race city far from the Elf Kingdom.

Liu Xue and the others were already there, having waited for a long time.

Since the escape point had changed, Su Xuan had already instructed them to move to a new rendezvous point ahead of time.

"Su Xuan!"

Seeing Su Xuan return safely, Liu Xue and the others rushed toward him.

"President, are you all right?" Fuli and Flora asked nervously, checking if Su Xuan was injured.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

Su Xuan gently patted the two Little Elves on the head, then turned to Ye Lingxi and said, "The three Dark Elves have been rescued. You can submit your quest now."

Ye Lingxi thanked Su Xuan excitedly. "Thank you so much, Big Brother Su Xuan! This B-Level commissioned quest has been troubling me for so long, and now it’s finally complete!"

The quest seemed simple, but in reality, it was extremely difficult. Without the Elf Queen’s help, escaping the Dark Prison would have been nearly impossible. Among all B-Level quests, this was probably one of the most difficult.

After all, one might also have to face the Elf Queen’s wrath. Not even an A-Level Guild could possibly handle a Demigod Level powerhouse.

"Wait... It seems I have to deliver the three Dark Elves to Paslo before I can submit the quest..." Ye Lingxi was about to submit the quest but found it wasn’t truly finished yet.

"Paslo?"

Upon hearing that name, the three Dark Elves immediately recognized Su Xuan’s group for who they were.

"So you’re the Adventurers Lord Paslo sent for! Please forgive our earlier offense!" Niru immediately bowed to Su Xuan in apology.

Su Xuan just smiled indifferently, not minding it. But from the reactions of the three Dark Elves, it was clear that the Dark Elf named Paslo held a significant position within their community.

"So, where is Paslo?" Su Xuan asked Ye Lingxi.

"Paslo is in the deepest part of the Dark Forbidden Forest. But you can’t get there with a Teleportation Array. We’ll need to fly there on Griffins," Ye Lingxi explained.

"Griffins..." Su Xuan glanced at Mare Rhine, who just stared back at him coldly. Su Xuan knew exactly what she meant and decided, "Then let’s take Griffins. How long will it take?"

"First, we’ll take a Teleportation Array to Twilight City, and then ride the Griffins... about two hours," Ye Lingxi replied.

"Let’s set off right away."

In an instant, Su Xuan’s group arrived in Twilight City, rented three Griffins for transport, and set off for the Dark Forbidden Forest. However, for various reasons, Fuli, Flora, and the Elves in their party did not accompany them. After all, Elves and Dark Elves are hostile to each other, and Centaurs are unable to ride Griffins. In the end, Liu Xue, Ye Lingxi, and one of the Dark Elves shared a single Griffin.

Su Xuan and Mare Rhine sat together on one Griffin’s back. Luckily, the seating area was quite spacious; otherwise, holding onto the scaly Mare Rhine would have been uncomfortably bumpy.

During a lull in their flight, Su Xuan turned to the two Dark Elves sitting beside him on the same Griffin and asked, "Why did you go to all the trouble of infiltrating the Elf Kingdom just to steal a few Elf Leaves and a pinch of soil?"

Su Xuan had used Elf Mother Tree leaves before. They could raise an Attribute by 30 points, but they weren’t particularly rare items and could probably be obtained through other means. As for the Elf Mother Tree’s Elemental Soil, that was just common soil from near the tree, merely imbued with some of its Elemental Power.

This left Su Xuan very confused, as he didn’t quite understand the three Dark Elves’ true purpose for breaking into the Elf Kingdom.

"We came to save Lord Paslo," the Dark Elf with short, deep-pink hair explained to Su Xuan.

"To save someone?"

"Yes! Only the Elemental Soil and leaves from the Elf Mother Tree can save Lord Paslo," Niru added. "Lord Paslo has sacrificed so much for us. We have to repay her!"

Hearing this, Su Xuan roughly understood their reason for infiltrating the Elf Kingdom.

Before long, the Griffins reached the deepest part of the Dark Forbidden Forest. The moment they landed, a group of Dark Elves appeared and surrounded them!

"Who goes there?" a female Elf with brownish skin demanded of Su Xuan.

"Don’t worry, Luo Wen! It’s us, we’re back!" Niru called out to the female Elf.

"Niru, you’re finally back! Lord Paslo is furious that you infiltrated the Elf Kingdom. You’d better go explain yourself to her right away!" the Dark Elf named Luo Wen warned Niru.

"I know! They are our friends, so please treat them well!" After saying this, Niru headed off alone to Paslo’s residence, asking the other Dark Elves to treat Su Xuan’s group with kindness.

Su Xuan looked around. Compared to the magnificent Elf Kingdom, the place where the Dark Elves lived was quite crude, consisting merely of wooden houses built in the trees. Compounded by the Dark Forbidden Forest’s perpetual lack of sunlight, the surroundings were exceedingly dim.

But when Su Xuan’s gaze fell upon the Dark Elves themselves, he was surprised to find they possessed a distinctive aura.

Every Dark Elf was wreathed in silver-gray Dark Magic. Coupled with physiques more robust than those of ordinary Elves, their combat prowess was clearly far superior. Furthermore, the battle scars on some of the Dark Elves’ skin and their sharp, gleaming eyes that seemed to glow faintly in the dark made them look fierce and battle-hardened.

However, they didn’t seem particularly friendly.

"Human, why do you reek of those Elves!" the Dark Elf named Luo Wen leaped down from a tree, landing in front of Su Xuan. She was tall, only a few centimeters shorter than Hong Lian, and her wheat-colored skin made her look even more powerful and robust.

"Luo Wen, stay away from him!" Niru’s two companions quickly moved to block Luo Wen, preventing her from getting close to Su Xuan.

At the same time, the other Dark Elves began to close in on Su Xuan. Soon, several hundred of them had him completely surrounded.

"Is this any way to treat our guests?"

Suddenly, a cold voice snapped out, causing all the Dark Elves to obediently disperse.

At that same moment, a Dark Elf whose entire body was the color of silver-gray entered Su Xuan’s line of sight.

When this silver-gray Dark Elf appeared, Su Xuan noticed she was much taller than the surrounding Dark Elves, reaching a height of five or six meters! Her ears were also abnormally long, drooping all the way to her waist and looking just like a pair of twin-tails!

Su Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement:

’So huge!’
