The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"They're both very strange."

When the topic turned to the two red-haired girls, before Emery could press for details, Ji Xinyu proactively shared her discovery of absorbing memories:

"Their actual age is definitely no more than six months, because they only have memories of less than six months in their souls... but their bodies are fully developed. I have compared their bodies with those of Sibi and the others, and their physical ages are about a hundred years old."

"They only have less than half a year's worth of memories, but their physical age is around 100 years old? This is quite consistent with their bizarre appearance, and can be considered a kind of evidence."

Emery nodded slightly; this was indeed useful information.

This confirms the previous speculation that, about six months ago, Theresa Hime was still the Theresa Hime that Amelie and Marcy remembered. All the unusual events occurred within these six months, and the more than 100 daughters also appeared during this period. They were not the power that Theresa Hime had given birth to long ago and secretly hidden.

Moreover, the phenomenon of a newborn elf growing to the age of a hundred within six months is hard not to remind Amelie of the biotechnology in science fiction works from her previous life, and now she happens to have someone by her side who is good at this biotechnology.

So Amelite raised her hand again and with a grasping motion, sealed the bodies of the two red-haired elves into two sacred crystals, and put them away:

"Since you won't be going back to the east right away, I'll have someone study these two spoils of war first, and I'll return them to you when you leave."

"Row."

Ji Xinyu didn't mind, chuckled lightly, and continued to recount her discovery:

"Their memories of the past six months are not particularly special. They have basically been following their mother's orders to carry out various missions... There are assassinations, kidnappings, threats, and temptations. The reason why organizations such as the Moon Guard and the Royal Court Guard support the Scarlet Moon Family is because their high-ranking members have long been infiltrated or controlled by these daughters."

"I see... It seems Theresa Scarlet Moon's daughters are quite capable."

Emery nodded slightly:

"Were there any other discoveries?"

"Of course there is, and the most important piece of information is what I was just about to tell you."

Ji Xinyu's tone suddenly became meaningful:

"Senior sister, do you know? At first, I thought their mission was to kill as many of these elven noble widows and orphans as possible, but after absorbing their memories, I realized that wasn't the case... Their goals were quite clear, there were only two of them."

"One of them is Sibi."

As Ji Xinyu spoke, she exchanged a glance with Sibi, who had been watching over the two red-haired girls, right in front of Emerald, before continuing:

"The other one is Ruoruo, Ruoruo Lanyun. Senior sister, you should have noticed, right? They are both the only survivors of their respective families."

Chapter 343 The Elf Queen's Secret

"Have they precisely located the two sole survivors of the Seven Rainbows family...?"

Emery nodded thoughtfully, understanding what Ji Xinyu meant.

This is indeed very important information.

Previously, Emerald had been puzzled as to why Theresa Scarlet Moon suddenly decided to kill the Seven Rainbows family.

It doesn't make sense, either from the perspective of personal ambition or ideology.

This information has given Emerald a new idea—could Theresa Scarlet Moon's target be the Seven Rainbows family's bloodline itself?

As one of the seven great families that control the royal council in the elven kingdom, the Seven Rainbow Families likely share a secret or authority. This secret or authority is the real purpose behind Theresa Scarlet Moon's attack on the other Seven Rainbow Families; she wants to monopolize or cover something up.

Therefore, since it is difficult to completely eliminate the survivors of the Seven Rainbow Clan, Theresa Scarlet Moon has no choice but to kill at least one of their bloodlines to the point of extinction. The secret that the Seven Rainbow Clan jointly possesses may require the cooperation of the bloodlines of all seven families to unlock, or even one or two less would be acceptable, but the difficulty would increase significantly.

Thinking of this, Emerald also gave Silby a deep look—she would have to have a good talk with this surviving head of the Emerald Star family later.

Before that, there was one more thing to deal with—eliminating the traitors.

The fact that the two red-haired elf assassins were able to accurately pinpoint the sole survivor of the two Seven Rainbow Clan bloodlines among these fallen nobles must mean they had received prior intelligence.

The hideouts of these fallen elven nobles were personally guarded by Ji Xinyu, and there was also a security force arranged by Ameliete on the perimeter. It was unlikely that they were scouted in advance by spies from the Scarlet Moon family. It was more likely that there was a traitor among these fallen nobles who leaked the information from within.

This is actually quite normal. After all, if the Scarlet Moon Clan wants to take action against six Seven Rainbow Clans at the same time, it's impossible for them not to bribe some people to act as spies beforehand.

After realizing that it would be difficult to kill all the members of the Seven Rainbows family in one fell swoop, it was a normal strategy to plant spies among the survivors to facilitate subsequent pursuit.

Are there any suspicious candidates?

Amelie asked Ji Xinyu directly, believing that with Ji Xinyu's intelligence, she would definitely understand what she was asking.

As expected, Ji Xinyu had anticipated this question and simply nodded with a smile:

"It should be the mother and daughter from the Orange Heart family. Maybe it's one of them, or maybe both of them are involved... When those two red-haired girls sneaked in, the mother and daughter tried their best to attract my attention and hold me back, just like the saintess in legendary novels who would sacrifice herself to seal the demon king, sealing me on the bed."

“That makes sense… Let’s separate them and question them properly.”

After a few seconds of thought, Amelie agreed with Ji Xinyu's analysis and judgment, and then immediately put it into action.

The Orange Heart family is the largest group of survivors among the Seven Rainbow families, with a total of four people escaping the Elf Kingdom: the family head's wife, daughter, and two younger sisters.

Silbis Verdant Star had been in a cooperative relationship with Emerald Star before, and is now the only direct descendant of the Verdant Star family. She can basically be ruled out as a traitor and is considered the most credible among these fallen elven nobles.

So Emerald arranged for Spike to keep an eye on the two younger sisters of the Orange Heart family head, while she and Ji Xinyu interrogated the mother and daughter separately. Emerald was responsible for interrogating the daughter, and Ji Xinyu was responsible for interrogating the mother.

Elves are inherently prone to corruption and lack strong willpower, not to mention that Emeryte and Ji Xinyu are both experienced and highly skilled.

It didn't take much effort for the mother and daughter from the Orange Heart family to confess everything.

It's a really melodramatic story.

The matriarch of the Orange Heart family was not actually a member of the Orange Heart family, but rather a noble elven woman from another family outside the Seven Rainbows family.

Although she eventually became the wife of the Orange Heart family, it was merely a family marriage; the person she truly loved was always Theresa Scarlet Moon.

During the night of revelry, she personally deactivated the family's defensive magic, allowing Theresa Scarlet Moon's assassins to enter the family and slaughter the unsuspecting Orange Heart family.

But she didn't expect that the head of the Orange Heart family would risk his life to cover his two younger sisters' escape. In order to eliminate them completely, she pretended to escape with her daughter. Her original intention was just to find an opportunity to get rid of the head of the family's two younger sisters, but Ji Xinyu came out of nowhere and rescued them all from the Elf Kingdom. So she could only act and lie in wait for an opportunity.

The daughter of the head of the Orange Heart family was innocent. She cooperated with Ji Xinyu to attract her attention, purely out of her elven nature, not wanting to lose to her mother.

Traitors are always the most hateful, whether among humans or elves.

These fallen elven nobles not only needed to be comforted with pleasure, but also needed to vent their inner fears and resentments, otherwise they would all eventually break down.

So Emerald handed over the affairs of the Orange Heart family to them to handle internally, with Himeko Yu in charge of supervision.

Emerald herself, holding Spike's hand, sat across from her at a table in another room:

"Tell me, Silbi, what secrets does your Seven Rainbows family hold?"

"This……"

As the head of the Seven Rainbows Clan, Sibi was no fool. She understood the question, which is why she looked conflicted and hesitant.

“I know this secret is very important to your Elven race, and it may even be the original top secret of your Royal Council.”

Seeing this, Amelie continued to appeal to his emotions and reason:

"But now the Seven Rainbows Family and the Royal Council are practically defunct. Even if you manage to take everything back from Theresa Scarlet Moon in the future, you'll absolutely need my help, right? You need to prove your sincerity, don't you?"

“...You’re right, Miss.”

Sibi hesitated for a long while before nodding with a wry smile:

"Now that things have come to this, telling you this secret to seek help is probably the best option for us... but I still can't quite figure out Theresa Scarlet Moon's true purpose."

"Why don't you tell me what that secret is first?"

Emery's voice was calm:

"You definitely know more about the secrets of the Elf Kingdom than I do, but there are many things in this world that I know more about... To find out Theresa Scarlet Moon's true purpose, we must combine the information we have."

“That’s right… Actually, that secret isn’t anything special. With your intelligence, Miss, you must have already guessed it.”

Sibi sighed:

"The reason why our Seven Rainbows family was able to become the head of the Royal Council is that when our Elf Kingdom was established in ancient times, it was personally appointed by Her Majesty the Queen. Our ancestors were Her Majesty the Queen's seven maids."

"……so?"

Emery raised an eyebrow and continued to ask, but she already knew the answer in her heart.

Sure enough, Sibi shrugged and said:

"Therefore, to awaken Her Majesty the Queen from her slumber, we, the direct descendants of the Seven Rainbows family, need to perform a ritual together. Back when your Federation army besieged the capital, it was through that ritual that we awakened Her Majesty the Queen, not because Her Majesty awoke on her own... This is the biggest secret of our Seven Rainbows family."

"Oh?"

Amélie's eyes narrowed. Even though she had already guessed most of it, she was still very cautious after hearing Spiegel's confirmation.

"You mean—the Elf Queen wouldn't have awakened from her slumber without the joint ceremony performed by your Seven Rainbows family?"

"Not really."

Sibi shook her head gently again:

"According to our family records, Her Majesty the Queen has naturally regained consciousness several times in the past 20,000 years, but each time the time she was awake was very short... Her Majesty the Queen seems to be constantly fighting against certain impulses, but her willpower is not strong enough. In order to avoid losing control of herself, she can only put herself into a long-term state of slumber."

"The true effect of our Seven Rainbows family's ritual is to help Her Majesty the Queen share that mental pressure, allowing her to have more time to move freely while she is conscious... This is the biggest secret of our Elf Kingdom, known only to the current head of the Seven Rainbows family."

"How could it be like this..."

Amelie's brow furrowed deeply.

If Sibi wasn't lying, then if the Elf Queen is to play a sufficient role in preventing the Dao Ancestor from merging with the Dao, the Seven Rainbows Clan must perform that ritual to alleviate the pressure on the Queen's will; otherwise, the Queen might not be able to hold on for long.

In other words, Emerald has to deal with the matter of the Elf race. Otherwise, the worst-case scenario is that she will lose the Elf Queen, her strongest ally, when trying to stop the Dao Ancestor from merging with the Dao, making the already high difficulty of the battle several times higher.

"Does awakening the Elf Queen have to take place in the Elf Capital? Can your ceremony be performed here?"

Amelie thought for a moment and then asked again.

“This… if Her Majesty is to be fully awakened, a ceremony must be performed in the capital.”

Sibi first nodded with a wry smile, then thought for a moment before saying:

"But if it's just a simple communication with Her Majesty the Queen, then anywhere is fine, as long as the bloodline of the Seven Rainbows family can be gathered for the ceremony."

"That's good... Is this ceremony difficult?"

Emery first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned slightly:

“The only surviving girl from the Blue Cloud family is not even 20 years old yet. To you elves, she's practically a child… Could it be that she hasn't received the inheritance yet?”

"Not everyone needs to know the ritual; the key is to gather all the bloodlines of the Seven Rainbows family."

Sylvie shook her finger, unusually standing tall and proud in front of Emerald:

"Although I am not as capable as my ancestors, I am still the head of the Cui Xing family. As long as the seven bloodlines can gather, I can preside over the ceremony alone. Other bloodline participants only need to contribute their own bloodline power."

Then Sibi gave a self-deprecating laugh:

"It's a pity that there was a traitor within our Seven Rainbows family this time. The Scarlet Moon family will definitely not participate in the ceremony voluntarily, so it's all in vain."

"No, that's not necessarily true."

Amelie laughed too:

“Spirit, have you forgotten that my Sisi is also Theresa Scarlet Moon’s daughter?”

"That's right!"

Silbis then realized, and even excitedly patted her long, white legs, looking at Emerald with expectant eyes:

"So, Miss, you mean...?"

"You can begin preparations for the ceremony. If we can reach some agreements with your Queen, I am not incapable of helping you set things right and reclaim the Elven capital."

Amelie chuckled softly, then, after a moment's thought, instructed Spire:

“However, Theresa Scarlet Moon is likely to have thought of this as well, so Silby, you are a very crucial person now, and you may very well be assassinated... Well, then for the next period of time, you should not act alone anymore. Wherever you are, you must have at least one of me, my junior sister, or Julia by your side.”

"As you wish, young lady."

Sibi bowed gracefully, indicating her compliance.

. . . . .

The ritual to communicate with the Elf Queen requires not only members of the Seven Rainbows family but also a considerable amount of magical materials.

These materials are nothing to Emery, but it would take about a day to coordinate and allocate them all.

During this time, Amelie continued to entrust the distressed elven nobles to Ji Xinyu for protection and care, while she herself took the bodies of Theresa Scarlet Moon's two daughters to the old man Landon for research.

Since Ji Xinyu has confirmed through absorbing memories that the two red-haired elves are actually less than half a year old, then their ability to grow to the size of a hundred-year-old body is most likely due to the use of some kind of advanced biotechnology, which old man Langdon may discover.

At this time, old man Langdon was still researching the artificial fusion organ project. He was initially a little dissatisfied with Amelie's assignment of another task, but after hearing about the two red-haired elves, he became interested and immediately devoted himself to the research.

"...You're not kidding me, are you, Miss?"

However, after most of the day's research, old man Langdon gave Emerald an answer that surprised her quite a bit:
