Chapter 116 The Underground World, A Perfect Paradise
arrive?

Princess Lia was startled, then suddenly became more alert, immediately stopped in her tracks, and turned her gaze to the darkness in front of the wild elf boy.

In that deep darkness stood one figure after another. They were so numerous, there were probably over a hundred of them.

Then, the handsome young man slowly turned around, opened his arms, and gestured to welcome the Sun Elf princess behind him:
"Your Highness, welcome to the perfect paradise."

"There is no selfishness, no hatred, no rifts, no doubt; all residents are connected heart to heart..."

"A wonderful paradise!"

A faint light, appearing from nowhere, dispelled the deep darkness, revealing the human figures standing on the edge of the cliff.

Each person in the crowd had healthy, dark brown skin, possessing both a wild beauty and elegance.

Wild elves.

More than 200 wild elves.

All the wild elves captured by Emerald, the Green Dragon Lord, are here!

Are all the wild elves safe and sound? Didn't the green dragon lord harm them?
Leah was quite surprised, and then her eyes reflected an incredibly terrifying scene—

All the wild elves were seen using the same movements as the first wild elf boy, opening their arms to face Leah in the exact same posture.

Every wild elf, regardless of gender or age, wore the same mechanical, rigid smile, as if they were all carved from the same mold.

Then, each of them spoke the exact same words to Princess Leah, every tone and inflection perfectly identical:
"Welcome to the perfect paradise..."

"Your beloved Princess Lia, Crown Princess of the Sun Elves, and future Queen of the entire Elf race..."

"Your Highness, welcome to our team!"

More than 200 wild elves spoke in completely identical, undulating tones, their voices overlapping to create a terrifying echo.

has a problem!
Faced with this horrifying sight, Princess Leah fully regained her senses and roared:

"What kind of monsters are you?"

With a thought, Leah was about to raise her hand to cast a spell to escape from this place.

……

In Seymour's room at the inn where the elven delegation was staying.

Prince Elf turned pale and his forehead was covered in sweat as he looked at the small, traceless alchemical bomb in Seymour's hand.

When exactly did Seymour discover it?

"Seymour, weren't you sleeping just now?"

Seymour yawned again:

"I was definitely sleeping just now. But..."

Then, the handsome moon elf mage gracefully raised his right hand, and a small white mouse emerged from his sleeve, gently kissing Seymour's fingertips.

Seymour laughed:

“However, Her Majesty the Queen has instructed me to keep a close eye on you two Sun Elves.”

"So, my magical pet probably set its sights on you the moment you stepped out of the room to install the alchemical bomb."

“Just now, my magical pet returned and told me everything you had been trying to do.”

"Use the traceless alchemical bombs purchased from the dwarves to create small-scale explosions and disturbances, thereby creating a rift between the humans and elves?"

"Wow, it's amazing that you Sun Elves would even think of doing something like this!"

Prince Elf then remembered:
When he was trying to install the alchemical bomb, he did see a white mouse slip past him, but it did not alert him.

Damn it! I only remembered using the [Avoidance of Detection Amulet] to block direct detection, prophecy, divination, and probing; I didn't notice these little things that can be seen directly with the eyes…

The spellcaster is so cunning and annoying!

If my sister Lia, who is a mage, were with me, she would definitely be careful!
Seymour, this guy, usually seems carefree and cynical...

But as a mage whose strength surpasses even that of Lia, he is a terrifying fellow when he gets serious!
Prince Elf gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and kept his head down without saying a word.

Seymour plopped down on the soft sofa, crossed his arms, and stared straight at Prince Elf, a hint of anger on his face.

"Just as my sister Wang predicted, the sudden request from you two Sun Elf royals to join the delegation is definitely to cause some sabotage in secret."

"So, the so-called disappearance of Princess Leah was also something you two arranged yourselves, wasn't it?"

"Princess Lia herself is probably hiding somewhere. Pretending to disappear and shifting the blame to the humans, right?"

"I really don't understand how you could come up with such a clumsy idea..."

"Princess Leah is a legendary mage, and one of the stronger ones among the beginner legendary mages. Who could have captured her so silently?"

Wait, something's not right!

Prince Elf was startled and immediately retorted:
"No, no, that's not how it works."

"I did want to stop humans and elves from establishing trade routes, and I did bring these alchemical bombs with me."

"But, but, the disappearance of my sister, Princess Lia, was definitely not part of our plan!"

Seymour raised an eyebrow and slightly lifted his chin, his expression clearly showing he didn't believe Prince Elf's words at all.
"Do you think I can still trust you and Lia now, Your Highness Elf?"

Oops!

Prince Elf trembled slightly, completely at a loss for how to explain to Seymour.

Seymour completely ignored Prince Elf's pale face and continued speaking to himself:
"Prince Elf, it seems that the establishment of trade between humans and elves is now a foregone conclusion."

"I know this will definitely have a significant impact on the interests of you Sun Elf families with advanced manufacturing industries."

"But believe me, Her Majesty the Queen will not let you suffer too much loss. Why bother..."

No, that's not the case!

Prince Elf wanted to argue that Leah's disappearance had nothing to do with their plans.

But he also knew that Seymour wouldn't believe him at that moment.

Faced with his sister's mysterious disappearance, the exposure of his plans, and the loss of trust from his fellow elves, Prince Elf suddenly felt a chill run through his body and soul, and a sense of powerlessness welled up within him.

Leah, where are you?
Come out and explain this to Seymour!

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Seymour twitched his fingertips, and the illusory "magic hand" turned the doorknob, revealing the person behind the door.

The man looked young and handsome, wearing a magnificent black velvet cloak adorned with stars.

Elion, King of Men!

“I just overheard some elven envoys in the next room saying that Princess Lia has gone missing, is that right?” Elion asked.

Prince Elf, as if grasping at a straw, hurriedly turned to Elian for help:
"Yes, she has been missing for over an hour."

"Do you have a way to find her, Your Majesty, Great King of Mankind?"

“I’ll give it a try,” El-Erian replied calmly and confidently. “It should work.”
