Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 181 The Elf Princess and Her Next King Consort

Chapter 180

Rosen looked at the ground receding into the distance and gently touched the bark of the ancient tree of life.

It feels cool to the touch, just like jade, and you can see the golden sap flowing inside through the translucent bark.

The golden liquid seemed to intertwine to form extremely complex spiritual runes.

After ascending for several hours, the vine elevator stopped, and Rosen happily inhaled the unusually fresh air around him.

He really likes the environment here and believes it will become his new home.

Led by the Sequence 4 Wood Elf, Rosen arrived at the Elf Palace in the Sky Garden without any obstacles.

Despite being a duchy, the Wood Elf Duchy has always been a kingdom in terms of overall strength.

However, the only demigods are found in the Wood Elf royal family. The Grand Duke of the Wood Elf Duchy is only Sequence 4, and unlike other duchies where the Grand Duke's position is hereditary, the Grand Duke of the Wood Elf Kingdom is not hereditary. Instead, the position can only be inherited by the consort of each Wood Elf Queen.

Inside the entirely wooden, artfully decorated restaurant, Lawson met the elegant and noble Wood Elf Queen.

The meal was entirely vegetarian, and the Queen looked Rosen up and down with a hint of arrogance.

"Can you save the ancient tree of life?"

The Queen asked in an arrogant tone.

"can!"

Rosen unceremoniously sat down opposite him and picked up an unfamiliar fruit to eat.

"what way?"

The queen frowned slightly, growing even more disgusted with the human before her.

"Let the others leave."

Rosen looked at the several wood elf servants and said.

The Wood Elf Queen, unconcerned about her own safety, immediately signaled all her attendants to leave.

"Miracle Life Nature Fairy".

Rosen summoned the nature fairies he had drawn.

"There really are natural fairies that can become miraculous life forms."

The Queen was so excited that she instantly teleported to Rosen's side and picked up the nature fairy.

However, she soon discovered that the nature fairy in her hand was a painting, but it did possess the miraculous power of a miraculous life form. This meant that the human in front of her was a painter who had imprisoned a nature fairy and forcibly enslaved it with his spiritual paintings.

In that instant, the Wood Elf Queen had the thought of killing this human.

There is an element of wanting to seize the nature fairies, and there is also an element of humans imprisoning the nature fairies.

However, after calming down, the Wood Elf Queen did not act rashly.

Ultimately, this is the human world. Their branch of wood elves is merely an appendage of humans. Even though the world government grants them sufficient autonomy, each Grand Duke will become a royal consort. If she had a choice, why would she be willing to marry a human?
This human painter can enslave nature fairies and can approach her without fear.

If she has powerful connections, her actions will only bring endless disaster.

"I want to buy the Nature Fairy."

The Wood Elf Queen spoke frankly after careful consideration.

"Sure, but I'll set the terms of the deal."

As Rosen spoke, he released the natural fairy that had materialized the spiritual painting, and then re-materialized it in his hand and clenched it tightly.

"You said."

The Wood Elf Queen looked at the suffering Nature Fairy with heartache and said...

"Three conditions."

Rosen raised his left hand and held up three fingers. "First, I want to become the Elf Princess's consort. Second, only the Elf Princess can contract with a natural fairy. Third, the Elf Princess wants to become my contracted pet."

The Wood Elf Queen could barely tolerate the first condition, but she almost exploded with rage when she heard the third.

This is not just a lack of sincerity; it's blatant trampling of the wood elves underfoot.

The Wood Elf Queen, suppressing her anger, tentatively asked, "On what grounds do you make such a demand?"

"Of course I'm confident."

Rosen said confidently, "As far as I know, the Wood Elf Duchy has three hereditary dukes, and all the royal consorts have come from these three hereditary ducal families. They are forced to choose one of the three to marry a human hereditary duke. Isn't this something the Wood Elves are already used to?"
As for the second condition, I think you should have no objections.

The third condition is a bit demanding: I have mastered the special painter's skill of human figure painting, and combined with the divine architecture of the divine realm, I can perfectly contract the fairy princess to become my Sequence 5 pet.

"With their powers perfectly shared, the Wood Elf race might even be able to produce a Sequence 1."

"You mean my daughter can become a Sequence 1 if she marries you?"

The Wood Elf Queen looked at Rosen as if he were a madman.

Rosen smiled and summoned Little Dragon Girl and Storm Thunderbird, Nightmare Slime and a self-portrait clone transformed into Quetzalcoatl, Time Tower projection and Sea God's Ring, and even released spiritual energy to demonstrate the power of divine creation.

The Wood Elf Queen scrutinized the four beings bound by nightmare shackles, growing increasingly horrified with each glance.

Miracle Life Fairy Dragon, Divine Life Storm Thunderbird, Slime with Divine Authority, and Divine Feathered Serpent God.

This doesn't even include the time-attribute wonder building, the high-sequence mystery ring that exudes an aura that even she finds terrifying.

To think that a mere Sequence 6 painter could possess all this, the potential this human had ever seen was at a level she had never witnessed before. Even the foundations of those divine beings could not be stronger. Perhaps raising her daughter to Sequence 1 was not just empty talk.

"Can't we change the terms?"

The Wood Elf Queen completely abandoned her idea of ​​forcibly taking the nature fairies.

She would never believe that someone with such a strong foundation could rely on their own efforts.

So this person must have a powerful background, but she would never do something like selling her daughter like that.

"I originally just wanted to get a local identity to hunt the Beast King."

Rosen shook his head and said, "However, I unexpectedly saw the bounty offered by the Wood Elf Duchy and unexpectedly liked the environment here. It just so happens that your arrogant attitude makes me very unhappy. So here are my conditions. You don't want the Tree of Life to die, do you?"

"I agree to your terms."

A sound as clear, gentle, and melodious as a stream drifted from outside the restaurant.

As Rosen watched the elven girl walk into the restaurant, his first thought was that his dislike for the Wood Elf Queen and the difficult conditions he had deliberately set for her had unexpectedly worked out. This elven princess was worth the price to pay to possess her.

"However, I have one condition."

The elven princess walked up to Rosen, looked down at him, and said, "My king must be able to completely conquer me."

"To completely conquer you."

Rosen stood up, looked directly into the elven princess's eyes, and instantly projected the ash curtain into her spiritual consciousness.

The airplane curtain depicts a stone, and in that instant, the elven princess also sees herself as a stone.

Although it was only for a moment, the fairy princess, whose sequence level had reached Sequence 5, had broken free from the influence of the ash curtain on her spiritual consciousness.

However, having successfully launched a sneak attack, Rosen seized the opportunity to step forward, embrace the elf princess, and lower his head to kiss her.

The fairy princess instinctively tried to cast a spell, but found that she could no longer summon her spiritual power.

The human hand that was pressing down on her waist had somehow imprisoned her spirit.

She could only struggle with her physical strength, but the humans in front of her were like bulls, making it impossible for her to break free.

"enough!"

The Wood Elf Queen spoke angrily, her face dark.

Rosen withdrew his enchanting tongue, but did not release the elven princess, whose body had become limp due to its influence.

"She agreed."

Rosen held the elf princess and smiled contentedly.

"The allure of the abyss, you will never win my daughter's heart."

The Wood Elf Queen warned.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Rosen countered with a question.

“My daughter has always been strong-willed. You’re not going to hunt down the Beast King to show her your strength, and contracting a pet is absolutely out of the question.”

The Wood Elf Queen revealed her carefully considered bottom line.

She was so careless that she didn't have time to stop it, and her daughter was taken advantage of by this damned man.

Now she needs time to investigate this human's background and to further understand his potential by hunting the Beast King. Having many treasures only means having a lot of wealth; only actual combat can reveal his true potential so that she can accurately judge whether it is worth sacrificing her daughter.

Everything in the world has its counterpart, and this ancient tree of life in the Wood Elf Kingdom is of Sequence 3 level.

Strictly speaking, the Ancient Tree of Life is the strongest fighting force of the Wood Elf Duchy.

However, ever since the Tree of Life was invaded by an unknown, mysterious parasite, the entire Wood Elf Kingdom has tried every means to save it. As a result, the entire Wood Elf Kingdom is helpless against this mere Sequence 9 gregarious parasite.

To destroy these parasites, you need destructive power.

However, the power of destruction alone will harm the Tree of Life, so it is also necessary to simultaneously master the power of life.

Nature fairies wield the divine power of nature, possessing both a vibrant and life-giving side and a savage side capable of destroying everything. Those who can wield the divine power of nature are almost all Sequence 1 extraordinary beings, not beings that the Wood Elf Duchy can easily summon.

Moreover, if someone were to tamper with the Tree of Life with malicious intent, the Wood Spirit Realm Duchy would suffer a huge loss but would have no choice but to endure it.

Rosen did not insist on making them pets, and instead sent the fairy princess into the spiritual painting that sealed the nature fairies, allowing them to communicate freely.

Soon the fairy princess had formed a contract with the nature fairy, and Rosen was fully aware of their interactions.

It was nothing more than complaining that he was a great villain, and then sharing a common hatred for him. In addition, since the nature fairy was originally close to the elf race, and she did not want to continue to be sealed in the painting, living in a daze and being enslaved by the hateful humans, she naturally agreed to the elf princess's contract without hesitation.

Rosen put away the spiritual painting. Although the sealed nature fairy was gone, the painting still possessed thirty percent of the nature fairy's power.

Having finally broken free from its seal, the nature fairy instinctively wanted to attack Rosen.

However, seeing Rosen glare at it, it immediately shrank back into the elf princess's chest, peeking out and making faces at him. It seems that making amends with this vengeful little thing won't be possible anytime soon.

However, the elf princess, who had been glaring angrily at him, now looked at him with a mix of aloofness and shyness.

"I am Rosen Howard. Now, can you tell me your name?"

Rosen stepped forward and hugged the fairy princess, squeezing the nature fairy so tightly that she could hardly breathe and struggled desperately.

“Alicia Edas Kali Astorga…”

The fairy princess struggled for a moment but couldn't break free, so she helplessly uttered her real name, which was dozens of characters long.

"Rosen, can you let go of my daughter now?"

The Wood Elf Queen stood to the side with a dark face and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

Rosen tried to launch a sneak attack, but Alicia instantly switched places with the plant to dodge. However, the nature fairy, having broken free of her restraints, suddenly exerted too much force and pounced on his face, almost being eaten in one bite.

The terrified nature fairy ran as fast as she could to Alicia's ear and started chattering and complaining.

It took Alicia a lot of effort to calm down the lively and energetic nature fairy.

The little guy directly transformed into the elemental form and burrowed into the ancient tree of life. It worked for most of the day before finally using a net woven from the power of natural destruction to grab thousands of Sequence 9 parasites and crawl out.

The nature fairy was still burping, with sweet, emerald-green juice constantly oozing from the corners of her mouth.

Even the Wood Elf Queen was envious. That was the most essential life essence of the Tree of Life. She had only been able to drink a little bit of it when she was pregnant with Alicia. It was clear that the Tree of Life really loved the little one.

However, now was not the time for envy. The Wood Elf Queen stepped forward and carefully examined the parasites inside the net.

It is important to know that parasites do not naturally form inside the Tree of Life unless they are artificially introduced into it.

However, before they could be examined closely, the parasites had already dissolved on their own.

The Wood Elf Queen kept her head down in silence. In truth, there were only a handful of suspects who could have done such a thing.

However, without evidence, suspicion is meaningless.

While the Wood Elf Queen was still pondering which one was most suspicious, Rosen had already uncovered the truth.

He simply had his self-portrait clone use the main god's computer in the mysterious study to hack into the spirit world's deep web, and he easily found out who the mastermind was. Because the wood elves could not log into the spirit world's deep web exclusively for humans, the mastermind had not even cleaned up all the traces.

Rosen looked at the Wood Elf Queen with some pity. "I think I know who sent these parasites..."

"..."

The Wood Elf Queen paused for a moment, and green teleportation halos appeared simultaneously beneath her and Rosen's feet.

The teleportation ended, and Rosen was brought to the life space of the Ancient Tree of Life.

Even those at Sequence 1 cannot enter this place without alerting them.

"Go ahead and tell me, I'm prepared."

The Wood Elf Queen took a deep breath and said.

"The truth is a bit cruel; the mastermind behind it all is your husband..."

Rosen sighed.

Humans are not immortal beings; at the same level, the extraordinary lifespan of most humans is far less than that of elves of the same level.

When the Wood Elf Queen inherited the throne, she was already a Sequence 4, and the king consort she ultimately chose was also a Sequence 4.

They were roughly the same age. Comparing their ages and lifespans back then, the Wood Elf Queen was still a young girl, while her husband was already middle-aged.

Over the next two thousand years, the Wood Elf Queen looked to be only in her early twenties, while her husband had already entered old age.

Moreover, one becomes a demigod, while the other remains a Sequence 4 with no hope of becoming a demigod.

An imbalance in mindset, the humiliation of a woman being stronger than a man, gradually gave rise to evil thoughts.

If one can plunder enough life essence from the Tree of Life, one can greatly extend their lifespan and return to their youth, and even use the advantage of longevity to gradually improve themselves until they become a demigod.

Even if it might destroy the Tree of Life, even if it might lead to the extinction of this branch of the Wood Elves.

In the face of greed, even the bonds of affection between husband and wife, and between father and daughter, can be sacrificed.

If the Tree of Life cannot remove the parasites and heal itself, then there is a high probability that the Wood Elf Queen will sacrifice herself to heal the Tree of Life. At that time, Alicia, who is only Sequence 5, will only become a puppet for her father to enslave the Tree of Life.

To Rosen's surprise, the Wood Elf Queen felt no sadness, only anger, upon learning the truth.

He only learned later that the Wood Elf clan was originally dependent on others, and under pressure from the World Government, they had to choose one of the three to be their king consort. Therefore, they had no feelings for each other from the beginning, and there was only simple kinship due to the bond of children.

Even if you don't spend much time together, thousands of years of kinship is enough to understand a person.

The Wood Elf Queen had long known that her husband was ambitious but incompetent, constantly using his position to encroach on the interests of the Wood Elves. If it weren't for Alicia's sake, she would have turned against him long ago. For her, this was a kind of relief.

A leaf from the Ancient Tree of Life appeared in the Wood Elf Queen's hand, and when she touched it, hundreds of characters appeared on it.

Then he took out a wooden box, opened it, put leaves inside, and waited silently.

A moment later, the leaves inside the wooden box disappeared, and a few moments after that, a reply from the World Government appeared.

Wood elves became subordinate to humans, and humans protected them. This was not because wood elves were beautiful, but because wood elves were masters at planting and cultivating extraordinary plants, and the Ancient Tree of Life could provide extremely precious life essence.

The Wood Elf Queen's husband, the hereditary Duke Sahisser Coburn, will essentially be imprisoned for life if he doesn't die this time.

The World Government won't interfere in the matter of suppressing the Wood Elves.

However, destroying the Tree of Life would absolutely cross the line for those who benefit from the World Government's interests.

If the World Government doesn't provide an explanation, all of humanity's subordinate races will feel disheartened.

Two days later, the World Government released its investigation results.

During negotiations between the Wood Elf Queen and the World Government, the Korburn family lost its hereditary title, and King Sahisse was imprisoned until his death. Meanwhile, the Howard family replaced the Korburn family as one of the three hereditary dukes of the Wood Elf Duchy.

The result is satisfactory in all aspects. The only thing that might be unsatisfactory is the remaining two hereditary dukes.

Because they haven't even competed for the next emperor's wife yet, they've already been eliminated.

The Sky Garden features a terrace draped in vines and shaded by lush greenery.

Sunlight filters through the leaves of the ancient tree of life, creating a Tyndall effect that illuminates Alicia's surroundings.

Alicia lay on her side in a hammock woven from vines and leaves, allowing Rosen to admire her sleeping posture from every angle.

Rosen's magic brush continued to sketch in the void sketchbook, gradually using his drawing skills to create a completely lifelike Alicia.

Although he planned to stay in the Wood Elf Duchy permanently, it was impossible for him to stay there forever.

Alicia has her own responsibilities and cannot abandon her duties as the heir to the throne to run around the world with him.

So Rosen decided to finish the painting so that he could return to the Wood Elf Kingdom whenever needed.

He's not in a hurry for the spirit messenger because he has a replacement.

Death Judgment can be used to curse and kill enemies, and it can also cross vast distances in the void to appear directly next to the person in the painting.

In terms of speed alone, the Death Verdict is more efficient than most spirit messengers.

After finishing the last stroke, Rosen closed the Void Sketchbook and walked toward Alicia.

In just a few days, he had almost completely won over Alicia.

The innocent little rabbit was destined to be devoured by the cunning, hungry wolf from the very beginning.

The Wood Elf Principality is very closed off. There are almost no high-tech products here. Even the virtual network that the Divine Wood Empire wanted to share was rejected by the Wood Elves. The reason is that the Wood Elf leadership does not want ordinary Wood Elves to have too much contact with the outside world.

The outside world is too big and too tempting; compared to that, living in the Sky Garden feels like being in prison.

Indeed, the Wood Elf Duchy only has one Sky Garden, which is essentially designed to trap all the Wood Elves.

Because once Wood Elves leave the Sky Garden and come into contact with the human world, the lucky ones might find true love with a strong background and be reborn happily, but the vast majority are captured, secretly sold, and left unable to live or die.

In this situation, Alicia has almost no resistance to the wonderful world outside.

He had only taken Alicia for a short tour of the virtual movie world in the virtual realm, but Alicia had already become increasingly dependent on him. Although the Queen's admonitions told her to stick to her bottom line, that bottom line had been getting lower and lower under the influence of the Enchanting Tongue.

Rosen stepped forward and opened the Void Album, showing Alicia the painting of the Dawn Elf he had just drawn.

Elves are born with a love for art, and when Alicia looked at the lifelike image of herself in the painting, she finally couldn't resist taking the initiative for the first time.

Rosen did not use the power of his charm tongue this time, but Alicia still lost her defenses repeatedly.

As Alicia grew up in the morning light, she gradually matured.

After learning that her daughter had fully grown up, the Wood Elf Queen unleashed her Rule Domain and nearly killed Rosen.

Despite the playful fighting, the die is cast and cannot be undone.

The Wood Elf Queen looked at Rosen hiding behind Alicia, sighed helplessly, and resigned herself to her fate.

With the final obstacle gone, Rosen completely let loose. During the day, Alicia took him to explore the various beautiful sights of the Sky Garden, and at night the two of them indulged in the world of movies, gradually deepening their feelings for each other.

During this time, Alicia also learned about Li Shiqing's existence and that Rosen had many, many lovers.

However, Alicia had no objection to this, because her father and mother had married many wives after their separation. She also had several half-brothers, but she hadn't had much contact with them, and now even if she wanted to, she couldn't.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone was tired of playing and felt it was necessary to take a break.

Rosen was eating giant beast meat skewers grilled by gourmet hunters from the Hunter x Hunter world. With his gluttonous stomach's digestive abilities, he would definitely be the first to recover. Just as he was enjoying his meal, the Wood Elf Queen arrived.

"Why did you remember to come find me?"

Rosen asked in surprise, as his mother-in-law had been quite unfriendly to him lately.

I wanted to talk to you the other day, and you should have time to do so.

The Wood Elf Queen then took out a fist-sized seed and tossed it to Rosen.

After catching it, Rosen sensed it with his spiritual senses and stared at the Wood Elf Queen with his pupils contracting in disbelief.

He never expected that the Wood Elf Kingdom would have such a wonderful thing.

To his surprise, the Wood Elf Queen was willing to entrust this item to him.

P.S.: It's been approved, so it's a bit late to post.
