Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 648 648: 492 Elf Delegation!

```

The process of developing a technology from research to fruition is incredibly lengthy.

Helen paid close attention to the Fission Field Generator and the Miniaturized Kinetic Theory recently provided by Bai E, which were the only two technologies in this field where Bai E could be of help.

After providing essential support, Bai E who had no further tasks to do, left the grounds of the Scientific Research Institute.

He received an unexpected telepathic ssage from Yueying.

The telepathic communication could only convey the simplest of sensations, and Yueying's ssage did not even carry an emotion, feeling like soone nudging him with their arm to get his attention because there was sothing to discuss.

Upon eting, Bai E noticed that Yueying had an unusually serious look on her face.

"What's the matter?"

"My people, the Elf Race, will arrive tomorrow."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Bai E asked with a smile.

If humans and the Elf Race could truly collaborate seamlessly, it would be a terrific developnt for both parties.

Humans, with their large numbers and focus on practical technology; elves, with their strong individual abilities and greater achievents in Spiritual Energy than humans.

If they could exchange what they each needed, they would certainly complent each other's strengths and weaknesses, allowing both sides to develop.

"Not necessarily..." Yueying said, shaking her head solemnly. Her slightly youthful face was now marked with visible concern, "I've heard from my sister that there are so within our race who do not agree with cooperating with you humans. They have accompanied us this ti and may intentionally make things difficult for you, hoping to sabotage this cooperation."

"..." Bai E paused in mild surprise, "And your sister?"

According to what Yueying had said before, her sister held a position of high esteem within their tribe, revered with the honorific 'Prophet'.

Her people regarded her sister's attitude almost as that of a deity, viewing her will as a divine gift.

If her sister was actively promoting this, would the opinions of a few "rebellious" tribespeople really count for nothing?

Yueying shook her head, her smooth hair shimring beautifully, "I don't know..."

As Yueying spoke, her face showed a trace of confusion, "My sister... there are many things she doesn't want to discuss with . I also don't know her exact thoughts on this matter. According to her, revealing any words related to 'the future' will only lead to 'the future' becoming chaotic and unclear. It's like stirring up a settled cesspool again, muddying the once clear water. She must carefully maintain this 'clarity' and ensure as much control over events as possible."

'Mumbo jumbo...'

But in this world of Spiritual Energy, anything was possible.

Bai E instantly thought of the river of ti he "saw" on the day his Spiritual Energy awakened.

It seed as if understanding the mysteries of that vast river would allow him to traverse ti and space, governing everything.

But... that's not sothing humans could achieve, right?

The Prophet of the Elf Race...?

Bai E blinked, "She didn't share any of her inclinations with you?"

Yueying shook her head and, mimicking her sister's serious tone, said calmly and weightily, "Be prepared, we... are coming."

Bai E stared blankly, "How are they planning to arrive? Do the other people in the city know about this?"

"Isn't that what I'm here to tell you about? I just got the news as well," Yueying replied.

The elves had been preparing to establish contact with humans for a while, and Blackwater City was very keen on the matter. However, Yueying hadn't given an exact ti, and nobody knew how to prepare for their arrival.

"Just got the news?" Bai E was puzzled, "So they contacted you right as they were about to arrive?"

"No." Yueying gently shook her head, "They'll leave tomorrow."

"They're leaving tomorrow and arriving tomorrow?" Bai E found it strange, "Are you suggesting you're nearby?"

On the ground? Underground? Or so kind of sealed barrier?

There weren't any known locations within a day's reach of the city where the Elf Race was said to reside.

"Not exactly..." Yueying stated coolly, shaking her head, "You'll know tomorrow."

Her sister's wish for Yueying not to notify anyone in advance was part of the equation.

To them, the superfluous pleasantries of humans were aningless, and complex displays could only obscure true judgnts.

An unexpected approach made it easier to see the true nature of humans.

The news that the Elf Delegation was arriving tomorrow spread rapidly through the city that night. Considering the significance of the eting, the leaders decided to host a modest welco ceremony despite the suddenness of the news shaking many important figures.

"From which side are they planning to enter the city?"

"The south gate... Additionally, Miss Yueying has made a request," Aglaya said, looking up from her notes, "She hopes that our Spiritual Energy practitioners present will minimize their spiritual perception to avoid unnecessary troubles."

"Spiritual perception?"

"Troubles?"

Only those deeply versed in the domain of Spiritual Energy imdiately thought of an unbelievable possibility.

"Could it be..."

...

"Teleportation..."

A tumultuous and vast wave of Spiritual Energy fluctuations churned in the senses of every Spiritual Energy practitioner, pressing down heavily like the foreboding silence before a tsunami crashes ashore.
