In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

"So heartless. We even danced together..."

"stop."

Salion saw that Gransta was trying to appeal to her emotions, but she didn't want to listen to it at all; the thought of it still made her feet ache.

Gransta thought about it and realized he had to try a different approach. The World Tree insisted that he give it a shot.

then,

He raised his hand, revealing some colorful candies, and said:

"Miss Salion... you should have finished the candy I gave you last time, right?"

really,

Salion's gaze immediately lingered on what Gransta was holding.

This candy is made with the power of elves and has an irresistible attraction for the elves.

When Gransta saw the change in Salion's expression, he knew that things were looking promising.

"Hmph, you think you can test me with this? You underestimate me. I won't let all the elves in the country take this risk."

As the queen of this magical dynasty, Salion would not risk the lives of the elves for a little temptation.

"Uh, you misunderstood me."

Gransta stepped forward, handed the candy to Salion, and said:

"I'm not bribing you, it's just a gift between friends."

"Yeah?"

Salion glanced at Gransta with his beautiful eyes, and seeing that the other party didn't seem to have that intention, he put the candy in his mouth without worry.

"But then again..."

Granstas abruptly changed the subject, speaking to himself:

"As the Grand Duke of the Magic Dynasty, I still hold a third of the power over the World Tree. If I were to be killed by a Demon King by accident, it shouldn't have any impact on you, right?"

"You..." Salion almost choked on the candy in her mouth, her beautiful eyes glaring fiercely at Gransta.

"Sigh, I don't want this to happen either, but I have no authority among the demon kings. Anyone can provoke us."

Gulansta looked innocent, pretending that I was also helpless.

Salion took a deep breath; she even began to doubt whether it was the right thing to grant this guy the title of Grand Duke of the Elves.

Based on her understanding of this guy, it's very possible he'll end up fighting a bunch of demon kings.

Back then, in order to awaken the Demon King, he stole one-third of the World Tree's authority right in front of her.

Salion paused for a long time before speaking:

"Indeed, if you were to die at the hands of a demon king, a third of your authority would be taken away, and we might have to pay a heavy price to get it back."

Gulansta nodded after hearing this.

He was right. If that was the case, then Salion wouldn't stand idly by.

"Tell me... what exactly did you do to deserve this? The authority of the World Tree can bring you unimaginable blessings, but it is not invincible."

Gransta thought for a moment,

It wouldn't hurt for Salion to know some of his plans, especially since this queen of the Magic Dynasty is no weakling and might even become a powerful ally in the future.

"Actually, it's nothing much, it's just that there are already rumors that I killed Frey and Carrion."

"The Demon King's banquet has also been held."

As Salion listened to Granstas's calm tone, her beautiful eyes widened, eventually revealing a strange expression on her face.

"You killed two demon kings? Really?"

Granstas shrugged and joked:

"Does it matter? I'll be suppressed on the spot as soon as the Demon King's banquet begins."

"Pfft"

Salion laughed and said, "You deserve it. Besides, I'm not interested in the battles between the demon lords, and I won't participate."

Granstas moved a little closer, looking intently into her emerald green eyes, and said:

"I don't need you to get involved, just give me a little help."

Salion was speechless. A tiny bit of help?

They might as well just hand over the entire Magic Dynasty to this shameless guy in front of them; the World Tree is practically everything to the elves.

Finally, after Granstas's shameless pleading and gentle persuasion, Salion agreed to give him a chance.

.....

Inside the World Tree,

"Do you remember this place?"

Salion brought Gransta to the core area of ​​the World Tree, and the magical seal's light flickered wildly after their arrival.

Gransta certainly remembered this place; it was from here that he stole the World Tree's essence to replace the soul power consumed when he awakened the Demon King, thus gaining one-third of the authority.

"Why is this place different from before? This magical glow..."

"This is the World Tree responding to us, or you could say it's welcoming us."

Salion explained:

"The World Tree has wisdom, and once you have authority, it's equivalent to gaining its approval and being able to use its power."

"So that's how it is."

Gransta touched his nose.

He recalled the last time Salion used the authority of the World Tree, combining the power of the Great Elf spell with the ultimate skill to seal all the magic within them.

"Go in. Only if you pass the test given to you by the World Tree can I lend you my authority."

"it is good."

Gulansta nodded; having come this far, he had no reason to back down.

If he could obtain the authority over the World Tree, his chances of success at the Demon King's banquet would increase significantly.

A phantom passage appeared before Gransta, and he stepped into it without hesitation.

After entering Gransta

Salion hesitated for a long time before finally following her inside.

After the daze,

The Grand Tower was surrounded by a five-colored halo, with colors inverted, forming a small, independent space.

"Ether, analyze this."

"Parsing..."

Upon receiving the instructions, Ether immediately began the analysis process.

"Analysis complete."

"This is the inner space of the 'Tree of Wisdom,' also known as the World Tree, and there is currently no danger."

"No malicious information detected. Accept?"

"Received." Gransta was puzzled. Could there be other people here?

Just after Gransta gave the order to receive, he heard a gentle female voice.

"Child...you've come."

Gransta looked around and, finding no one there, tentatively said:

"Who are you?"

"Don't be nervous... I mean no harm. I already knew you would come again after our last meeting."

"The Elf King..."

Gulansta already knew who the voice was coming from; he was still inside the other person's body.

The Elf King they mentioned? Could it be referring to his ultimate skill, "King of the Elf"?

"Child...I already know from the child Salion why you came."

Gulansta didn't speak, but listened quietly.

"Ah...what a pity..."

"I cannot refuse your request... however... I cannot help you."

Gulansta's heart tightened; for some reason, he sensed a deep sadness in the other person's tone.

Yes... this sorrowful mood almost infected him.

Why?
