Chapter 721 There's No More Running Away

The endpoint of the pollution flow is on the ground.

This place was originally an ordinary jungle.

At this point, everything was razed to the ground, and several temporary houses were built on the flat ground to form a temporary camp.

The camp is circular, with a large hole being dug downwards at the center of the circle.

The cave entrance is about five meters in diameter. Several powerful earth and wood sorcerers are using magic to continuously transport soil from the ground, which is then taken away by other sorcerers.

Further out, some low-level mages or ordinary elves were driving magic-powered vehicles, transporting away large amounts of earth and rocks.

"Is what we're doing really useful?"

Watching the bustling excavation work, the assistant asked Kurinas, who was in charge, a question.

Culinas was in charge of the digging operation.

"Whether it works or not, we should at least give it a try," Culinas said calmly. "Although I also think it's unlikely to be useful, what if it does?"

As he spoke, he looked to the other side, "Go and take a look, it seems like something's wrong over there."

"Ok."

After the assistant left, the Elf King's remote communication arrived, and Kulinas returned to the house and joined the group chat.

Several projections slowly appeared in various corners of the room, a total of twelve, all of them sixth-tier elder-level elven mages.

The failure to address the two previous calamities in a timely manner led many to criticize the current Elf King. However, the subsequent actions of the Elf Royal Court, coupled with the fact that Elena and 'Xi''s rescue operation was carried out under the auspices of the Elf Royal Court, have slightly increased the Elf King's influence, and his orders are now being executed effectively.

The main reason is that no one wants to experience another disaster.

Therefore, after the emergency meeting, a total of twelve sixth-tier elven mages were assigned tasks to take twelve measures to deal with this pollution anomaly, one of which was digging a hole down into the center of the anomaly.

"Kulinas, how's the situation over there?"

"The Elf King asked."

"Everything is going smoothly," Kurinas said. "We have already dug to a depth of 3,000 meters and have not encountered any abnormalities so far."

"Okay, keep digging, and react immediately to any anomalies."

The Elf King nodded, then looked at another Elf Elder.

"Mansa, what's the reaction from the pollution intensity test?"

The female elven sorceress named Mansa said, "The intensity of the pollution flow is increasing. In addition to underground, we have observed that the pollution remaining on the ground is also flowing, and it is also flowing towards that point. According to calculations, it has been confirmed that the place is located 12,000 meters underground, which is deeper than the underground pollution depth."

Another elder said, "Judging from the underground magic array model we've figured out, perhaps that place is the center of the entire magic array, and the pollution is flowing towards the center. There are two possibilities."

"One possibility is that the contamination has been recovered. This speculation is based on the assumption that someone is controlling the underground magic array, but at present, we do not know if there is anyone there."

"Secondly, some kind of powerful monster has been born there, and that monster is frantically absorbing pollution to increase its strength... We should be prepared for the second possibility, but we cannot rule out the first possibility."

The Elf King nodded solemnly, then said, "I have some news for you. The envoys from the Kingdom of Phoenix are also unaware of what happened there. Based on the clues in their words, I suspect they have the ability to enter the center of the magic circle, but now, they may not be able to enter either."

Kulinas frowned and said, "The people from Phoenix are only now telling us they can get into the center of the magic circle? Humph, humans really are all ill-intentioned bastards."

"We must be wary of Phoenix's intentions, although we are still unsure of their true purpose."

“I think our Elf race can handle this; there’s no need for Phoenix to get involved.”

“Agreed. If we seek help from humans again, they will look down on us. We are, after all, a powerful race.”

"..."

The work report gradually devolved into a heated debate. The Elf King shook his head and cut off the group chat for everyone.

He came to the outside of the sacred tree and looked at the distant sky.

He could see that the pollution in the air was also flowing in that direction.

Data from various monitoring sites shows that the flow pattern resembles a vortex.

"Since the disaster began, the elves have basically been led by the nose. Those damned creatures..."

The Elf King couldn't help but think of Celia, which only fueled his anger.

Not only did Celia gain immense prestige among the elves by using her own image, but she also disguised herself as an elf and gained immense prestige again. This made him feel as if Celia had slapped him twice and told him that the Elven Royal Court was worthless.

but……

He couldn't argue.

Since the disaster, all the Elven Royal Court has done is logistics; the real solutions have nothing to do with them, and even the logistics have been helped by people from the Kingdom of Phoenix.

Besides Celia, the Elf King thought of Elena.

Just then, a call came to his wristband.

He took it out and looked at it, only to find that it was an asterisk he didn't recognize.

After a moment's hesitation, he connected the call.

Those who know his asterisk are special personnel; an unknown asterisk does not mean he is an unknown person.

Sure enough, Elena's projection appeared in front of him.

The Elf King narrowed his eyes and quickly made a hand gesture.

However, Elena seemed to have known what he was going to do all along, and quickly said, "I'm here to tell you that you don't need to do any useless work. The pollution anomaly is being addressed by someone who is handling all the pollution and potential hazards. Just wait and see. Okay, goodbye."

Just as the Elf King was about to say something, the projection disappeared.

He looked at the elf not far away and asked, "Have you located her?"

The elf said, "There's a vague location; it seems someone is helping her block out precise location information."

"Where is it? Send someone to look for it."

"Yes!"

……

On the other side, after Elena ended her communication with the Elf King, she casually crushed the bracelet.

She looked at the projection of Celia beside her, "Celia, thank you."

Celia shook her head and smiled, "No need to thank me. I think this is also an opportunity. At most, by tomorrow, ordinary elves will also notice the abnormal pollution. If you want to do something, you can do it tomorrow."

Elena nodded. "I understand. I'm fed up with the elven court's stupidity. I really can't keep running away. I need some people's support."

"Ah."

……

The next day, just as Celia had said, as the absorption rate accelerated, the pollution on the ground began to surge, and the abnormal flow caused countless elves to panic.

Just as various speculations began to emerge, Elena appeared in the City of Watchers and, with the support of Monris, delivered a speech to the entire Elven race.
