Just as the Elf Queen selected the challenger for the sword dance ceremony, Rhode was leading Lijie, Anne and the Little Mermaid to wander around the elves' assembly hall.

Although it is a gathering place, the elves' gathering place is completely different from the so-called parks and markets of human beings imagined by Lijie. Surrounded by tall trees and green grass, clear streams flow through both sides, forming a circular open space similar to a public gathering place. The elves sat quietly on the branches or grass on both sides, listening to the chanting and performance of the elves in the center of the open space. The elves are all natural musicians and singers. Their melodious and crisp singing echoes in this forest, bringing a different style.

If it were humans, I would have been unable to help but applaud when I heard such beautiful singing, but the elves did not like this. Long before I came to the assembly hall, Rhode had warned Anne and Lijie that no matter how good they sang, they would not be allowed to applause, because the elves valued the beauty of fluency and nature. If they truly respect and understand their singing, just listen quietly on the side. This is the greatest respect for the master.

The appearance of humans such as Rhodes naturally attracted the curious attention of the elves in the assembly hall. After all, it is rare to see humans appear here. Generally speaking, for various reasons, few humans choose to go deep into the Elf Forest. Most humans cannot tolerate the elves' seemingly strict and strange rules, so they would rather stay in a station run by half-elves than take the initiative to come out to cause trouble. The appearance of Rhodes and his group immediately attracted the attention of many elves. Not to mention that Rhodes' own appearance is no less different than that of the elves. In addition, the little mermaid floating in the water ball is also equally eye-catching.

What made the elves even more curious was that although they were in the gathering place of the elves, Rhode did not show any restraint or anxiety at all. On the contrary, the paths hidden in the bushes and grass seemed to be completely not a problem for this young man. He seemed to be extremely familiar with this place, as if he had lived in this elves for many years, but the elves were sure that they had never seen such a human.

Not only the elves felt very strange. Even Lijie and Anne felt very confused. Logically speaking, Rhodes would never have been here, but his behavior seemed to be the owner or tour guide here. He was taking three individual tourists to a "Free Day Tour of the Elf Forest" service. In Lijie and Anne's opinion, if they were in the place where half-elves lived in Blackberry Town, they could barely distinguish the difference between artificial buildings and plants, then after they came to the elves' territory, they could even find a little artificial

Although the elves also live in wooden houses, the elves' wooden houses are different from those of humans. Most of them just put together branches and integrate a space. From a distance, it looks like dense green canopies. But Rhodes can see at a glance where the elves' houses are. He even tells the three of them from time to time what kind of hobbies and achievements the elves live here have, as well as the humanistic history and allusions of the elves. This even makes Lijie a little suspicious that Rhodes is simply a human being disguised by the elves.

“What a beautiful place………………”

Lijie turned her head and looked at the circular clearing not far away. The songs from there were still vaguely surround her ears. For Lijie, this place was simply the paradise in her dream, tranquility, comfort, tranquility, and peace. Just standing in this forest, I felt that everything in the mortal world was far away from me. Those troubles that belong to human beings seemed to be invisible to these elves. They lived every day calmly and simply, without any need to worry about any struggles, nor quarrel over money, reputation, status, and status. There was no intrigue between each other, and no secret trouble. If possible, Lijie even hoped that she could live here forever, stay away from worries and sorrows, and just live a quiet life here......

"Well, it's such a good place!"

Hearing Lijie's words, Anni nodded vigorously, then bit off a bright red apple in her hand, which was a gift given to Annie by a little elf. For Annie, nothing is worth caring about than food.

"Wooha...it's so delicious. Lijie, little cutie, do you want it?"

As Annie said, she took out two apples from her arms and shook them at the girls beside her. Faced with Annie's inquiry, Lijie smiled slightly, then reached out to grab an apple. The little mermaid was lying on the edge of the water balloon, staring at the apple in Annie's hand curiously and cautiously. She hesitated to reach out, but when she touched the outer wall of the water balloon, she quickly shrank back, as if it was something hot.

"What a pity."

Looking at the little mermaid's curious and afraid look, Annie laughed. Then she opened her mouth and bit the apple in her hand hard. The crisp sound made sounded that it made people's index fingers really moved. This was also the method that Annie had figured out after being with the little mermaid for a long time. She found that the little mermaid was particularly afraid of being alive and almost never approached others except Rhode. Although she and Lijie were always by the little mermaid along the way, she looked closer to Rhodes, although Annie had been "persistent" to seduce the little mermaid.

, But she kept a distance from Annie, which made Annie very distressed, but she was unwilling to give up. For some reason, Annie always felt that she liked this little guy very much, so cute and interesting, and was a rare playmate for Annie. There were even several times, Annie felt that as long as she saw the little mermaid, she would not help but start drooling... But what made Annie helpless was that the little mermaid was quite wary of her. If Rhode had something to leave, she would rather be closer to Lijie than be willing to stay with Annie.

If Rhodes knew about it, he would have lamented that the mutual generation and restraint of the food chain really has its own meaning.

"Mr. Rhodes."

At this moment, a sound suddenly sounded, and Rhode raised his head. Soon, he saw Corinna jumping down from a tree, quietly and calmly landing on the ground like an elegant cat. Then, he raised his head and nodded at Rhode.

"You are here, it's really easy for me to find."

"Is there anything wrong? Miss Corinna?"

When Rhode raised his brow when he heard Corinna's words, Corinna pondered for a moment before answering.

"That's right, Mr. Rod. Her Majesty the Queen has made a decision. If you have no problem, we will hold a sword dance ceremony tonight. If those two... can pass the test, then we will agree to your request to enter the San White Valley." As he said, Corinna's face was a little complicated. She subconsciously glanced at Rod, but she did not see the figures of the two girls. Corinna didn't know what she was in. After she learned about the deeds of Carles Duying from Her Majesty the Queen, she learned about the deeds of Carles Duying from Her Majesty the Queen.

.Corina felt that her heart was always complicated. She found that she seemed to understand why Rhodes wanted to enter the Santa White Valley. If the two girls were indeed Carles Duying, then there must be something in the Santa White Valley that was related to them. However, because of this, Corina felt an unexpected sense of guilt at this moment. Although this was not her responsibility, Corina still felt that these heroes who sacrificed everything for the elves did not get the treatment they deserved.

"oh?"

But Rhode did not notice Corinna's reaction. On the contrary, when he heard the answer from the Moon Elf Girl, Rhode was also shocked. He originally thought that this application would not be so easy to pass, because whether it was the Saint White Valley or the Sword Dance Ceremony, it was the tradition of the elves. As a human, joining it without authorization would definitely make those elves feel uneasy. According to Rhode's experience in the game, these elves probably had to discuss whether they were in trouble or not before they could make a decision. This was not new to Rhode. Later in the game, he gained the reputation of the Kingdom of Law and had the ability to join the elves' self-dominated corps to seek.

After the power of assistance, he encountered similar things. Sometimes Rhodes hoped that the elves could send a scout unit to help his team explore the way, and those elves had to discuss for several days before they could come up with the results. So Rhodes got used to it. Every time he needed the elves to help, he would issue an application several days in advance, then turn around to do the task, and wait until Rhodes finished all the tasks he should do and received all the rewards before returning to the Elf Forest. Maybe these guys hadn't discussed it yet. But he didn't expect that this time, the elves would pass the proposal for the sword dance ceremony so quickly, which was really beyond Rhodes' expectations.

However, although he didn't know why the elves became so abnormal this time, it was naturally a good thing for Rhodes to be able to deal with this matter quickly, so he did not hesitate, but nodded quickly.

"No problem, Miss Corinna, we are ready to attend the sword dance ceremony at any time."

Faced with Rhode's reaction, Corinna didn't say much, she just nodded at Rhode with a smile.

"We have prepared dinner and rest for you. After you have eaten, I will take you to the sword dance ceremony."

After saying this, Corinna turned around and walked along another path in the shade of the tree.

Rod looked at Corinna's back, shrugged his shoulders, and said nothing, but followed like this. Instead, Lijie frowned slightly behind Rhode and looked at Corinna with some confusion. Although Corinna was very calm, Lijie still felt the complexity and hesitation of the girl hiding under the veil of calm. Lijie looked at Rod curiously and looked at Corinna again. Although both of them were very calm, Lijie always felt that the relationship between them was a bit unusual. The moon-elf girl seemed to have some special view of Rhode--this was not the conclusion from the observation site, but the intuition of being a woman.

The dinner prepared by the elves is not very rich. They do not like to eat meat or cooked food. In fact, for most elves, they only need fruit to satisfy their appetite. But this does not mean that the food of the elves is delicious. The wine and elves cookies they brew have always been well-known in the human world and are very popular among humans.

However, Rhode did not focus on these delicious foods. On the contrary, he was gently stroking the hilt of his sword at his waist, feeling the agitation of the soul coming from the hilt of the sword. Since meeting with Her Majesty the Elf Queen today, Rhode found that the connection between himself and Grayhill and Madalas seemed to have deepened a little. He could even detect their emotions at this moment through the soul fluctuations of these two magic weapons. The continuous soul fluctuations appear very stable and long. This means that Grayhill and Madalas are very calm, and even in the face of the upcoming battle, they are not nervous at all.

The last ray of light of the setting sun fell below the horizon. Instead, the soft and bright moonlight emerged from the darkness, illuminating the dark forest that was originally seen in the evening. The birds' songs gradually faded away.

Rhode looked up and looked at Corinna.

"We're ready, Miss Corinna."

Then he spoke.

Although the sword dance ceremony is a very grand ceremony for the elves, the venue for the ceremony is not very sacred and inviolable. In fact, the sword dance ceremony is the circular square that Rhodes led Anne and Lijie to visit during the day. However, unlike during the day, the center of the circular square is empty at this moment, and the white moonlight shines down from the sky, covering the entire circular square, with soft, bright and unobtrusive brilliance covering everything.

The elves stood quietly around and stared at everything in front of them. Rhode raised his head and soon saw the elf queen standing on the high platform of the square. He noticed Rhode's gaze, and the elf queen smiled slightly. Then she raised her head, looked at the elves around her, and then spoke.

"My fellows, my people, today we will hold a sacred ceremony here to confirm two pure and great souls, who will use their sword blades to prove their glory, courage and pride. And now we will here, under the gaze of the moonlight and the twin dragons, promise and guarantee the sacredness and justice of this sword dance ceremony."

After hearing this, the elves couldn't help but feel a little commotion. Many elves who "do not know the truth" expressed varying degrees of surprise and doubt at the speech of the Elf Queen. This is no wonder. Although there are many sword dance ceremonies held in the elves, they have never heard the Elf Queen say "pure and great souls". But now, Her Majesty the Queen actually gave such an evaluation to two challengers they had never heard of?

When Rhodes heard the Elf Queen’s words, he raised his eyebrows. He didn’t care about the Elf Queen’s name for Grayhill and Madalas. On the contrary, Rhodes keenly noticed one thing, that is, when the Elf Queen mentioned the Creation Dragon Soul, she also said "Holy" rather than "God".

Although the pronunciations are similar, the concepts and meanings of the two are completely different.

"Then, please invite our respondents to the scene."

Accompanied by the words of Her Majesty the Elf Queen, a figure familiar and unfamiliar to Rhodes walked out of the crowd. He was wearing exquisite glass armor, and a carefully polished sword emitting magical glory hung around his waist. The luxurious and complex helmet blocked his face, but even so, as long as he felt the interesting gaze, Rhodes could already confirm his identity - that was the Elf Swordsman who made this suggestion before Her Majesty, Dales.

What is this guy's idea?

Rhode frowned and couldn't help but look carefully at the elf knight who was already standing in the center of the circular square, but he didn't say anything. On the contrary, Rhode stretched out his hands and gently stroked the swords on his waist. Soon, another stunning feeling came. Then, Rhode's eyes flashed. Soon, two petite elf girls wrapped in the monk's robe appeared in front of Rhode.

"Leave it to you, Gray Hill, Madalas."

Looking at the two girls in front of him, Rhode nodded and spoke. When he heard Rhode's words, the two girls couldn't help but chuckle like silver bells. Then, they held hands and walked to the center of the circular square. Then, the two girls put down their hoods that covered their faces at the same time.

“…………………!!”

Without confirmation, Rhode had heard the screams and sighs of the elves around him. It was obvious that they, like the elves before, did not notice the existence of Grayhill and Madalas at all, until they were exposed to each other on their own initiative. Faced with the surprise of the elves, Grayhill and Madalas' expressions did not change at all. They still smiled softly, and then stretched out their right hands from left to right—————————————……
