When Elena heard Sylvus's words, she was slightly stunned, montarily unsure of what to say.
"If you want to survive, you have to pay a certain price."
Sylvus continued, his eyes falling on the pendant hanging on her chest. The pendant was embedded with a blue gemstone. Sylvus could sense that the energy contained within it was several tis stronger than the energy stones he had bought before; it was clearly a treasure.
"System, do you know what this pendant is?"
Sylvus asked.
[Host, this pendant is the Ancestral Stone of the Elf race. It is said that the Elf race was born from the Ancestral Stone itself.]
Sylvus was montarily stunned upon hearing this. "So, the elves ca from a stone?"
He continued asking with a slight smile, "So, this thing is quite important?"
[Every Elf Queen is given one of these Ancestral Stones, and the system can tell you that this stone is related to both the Divine Knight's Soul Stone and the Archmage's Soul Stone.]
Sylvus nodded. It seed that this stone was sothing he absolutely needed to obtain, especially since it was linked to the Divine Knight and Archmage Soul Stones.
Noticing Sylvus's gaze, Elena's face paled. Could it be that this man wanted to desecrate her?
"If you dare to do anything indecent, I'll fight you to the death!"
Elena gritted her teeth and spoke coldly. She was the Elf Queen, a symbol of nobility. Being captured by a human man had already made her feel humiliated, but she had no choice since the man was too powerful. But if he dared to do anything lewd, she would rather die.
"Is that so?"
Sylvus smiled slightly. Now that she was in his hands, what leverage did she have to fight him?
With those words, Sylvus's hand reached toward her chest.
This scene caused everyone present to take a deep breath. Was Sylvus really about to do sothing indecent to the Elf Queen?
Many of the n were watching with bright eyes, a strange sense of anticipation and excitent in their hearts, imagining what it would look like if such a noble being as the Elf Queen was violated by Sylvus.
"R... R..."
Elena was also taken aback. So many people were watching. How could this man in front of her be so bold?
However, at that mont, Sylvus rely took the pendant from her chest, examined it for a mont, and nodded in satisfaction.
"This will be the price you pay."
He said, as he released the energy that had been binding her.
"Huh? This is what you wanted?"
Elena, who had been prepared to die, was now stunned, looking at Sylvus in surprise.
"What did you think? Were you expecting sothing else?"
Sylvus asked teasingly.
Elena bit her lip but didn't respond. This bastard didn't even have any inappropriate thoughts about her.
anwhile, the surrounding people were looking at Sylvus oddly. If they were in his shoes, they probably would have taken advantage of the situation right then and there with Elena.
"Alright, you can all leave now."
Sylvus waved his hand, dismissing them. He still had business to attend to, and he hadn't planned on starting a war with the Dwarves and Elves. Though he didn't care much about the outside world, he knew the undead were about to invade this continent, and the Dwarves and Elves were vital forces that couldn't just be eliminated.
"S-Sir, what about the Forging Hamr..."
Ronald swallowed nervously as he carefully asked.
Sylvus looked at Ronald with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "When you finish forging what I requested, then we'll talk about the Forging Hamr."
Ronald, though clearly unwilling, didn't dare to argue. After all, with their current strength, they couldn't possibly forcefully take it.
Soon, Ronald and his group left hurriedly. anwhile, Elena's gaze remained fixed on Sylvus.
"Who exactly are you?"
It was hard for her to imagine that such a powerful being existed in this world. Could he be from that place?
"If you don't leave now, then don't leave at all."
Sylvus said indifferently.
Elena snorted coldly, not daring to ask further, and left with her elven companions.
As the elves walked away, Sylvus smiled slightly.
"What an arrogant race, but that queen, her touch was surprisingly soft."
Elena, who had not gone far, almost turned back to curse Sylvus after hearing his words.
Once both the Elves and Dwarves had left, the alley returned to its previous state, and people resud buying potions. But now, everyone looked at Sylvus with eyes full of admiration. After all, he was the only man on the continent who had ever touched the Elf Queen.
At the royal palace...
Boone stood outside the great hall, waiting patiently. When he saw the Dwarves and Elves return, a smile appeared on his face as he approached them.
"Dwarf King, Elf Queen, it seems your trip didn't go as planned."
Boone said with a grin.
Ronald's face was cold, while Elena's face was even more frozen. What had happened today was nothing short of humiliating for both of their races.
"...Boone Emperor, I didn't expect your human race to produce such a strong individual. It seems we won't be needed when the undead attack."
Elena said coldly.
"Indeed, we Dwarves are busy forging things for him; we won't have ti to stop the undead."
Ronald added.
Boone couldn't help but shake his head. "To tell you the truth, even our royal family has suffered at his hands."
He then proceeded to tell them what had happened previously.
Both Ronald and Elena were shocked as they listened, especially when they heard that Sylvus had even destroyed the Heaven's Lightning Tribulation. They were left in awe.
How powerful must one be to not even fear Heaven's Lightning Tribulation? Even the strongest figures in the history of their two races couldn't face the Heaven's Lightning head-on.
"Is he really that powerful?"
Elena couldn't help but ask.
"Haven't you already witnessed it yourselves? If he were truly part of our royal family, you two wouldn't even have the privilege of standing here talking to ."
Boone asked bluntly.
This remark irritated both Elena and Ronald, but they knew Boone was right. If their races had such a powerful figure, they would have ruled the entire continent by now.
"When the undead invade, will he take action?"
Elena asked again.
"That, I do not know. No one can predict his thoughts."
Boone shook his head.
This left Elena and Ronald in silence.
If they had known how powerful Sylvus was, they wouldn't have humiliated themselves.
"Both of you should go rest. My birthday is in two days. After the celebration, we'll discuss the undead situation."
Boone said with a smile.
The two nodded and left without saying much more. They needed ti to process what had happened today.
