The villain daughter did all kinds of things

“There are no signs of any special technology used to accelerate their growth on them; they just grew naturally to look like this.”

"Naturally grown? Old Langdon, are you sure?"

Emery immediately countered with a question, and after receiving an affirmative answer from old man Langdon, she frowned deeply.

This is interesting.

The two red-haired elves, who are actually less than half a year old, have the body and strength of a normal elf who is about a hundred years old, without having undergone any biotechnology modification.

Langdon is now essentially Emerald's employee. Although the two spend most of their time together like old friends, Langdon is actually under control and would never lie to Emerald.

Emerald also had great faith in Langdon's technology; after all, she had never seen a researcher in the world more outstanding than Langdon.

There are only two possibilities for the current outcome, both of which have a very low probability but are indeed possible.

The first possibility is that during the six months Theresa Scarlet disappeared, she actually went to another world with a different time flow. Six months here is equivalent to a hundred years there, and her daughter was born while Theresa Scarlet was in that other world.

The second possibility is that Theresa Scarlet Moon's daughters did indeed experience accelerated growth under the influence of some kind of power or technology, reaching the age of one hundred in just six months. However, this power or technology was completely beyond Langdon's understanding and imagination, and he was unable to detect it.

Langdon not only spent his entire life studying biology, but he had also been a friend of Amelie for over a decade and had been greatly influenced by Amelie's past life's thoughts, so his ideas had long surpassed those of other researchers of his time.

That technology or power, which even old man Langdon could not fully comprehend or imagine, may very well have already transcended the rules of the world... such as the power of gods.

Whichever possibility is true, it's bad news for Emerald, meaning Theresa Scarlet Moon is stronger than she anticipated.

"Ugh, this is such a hassle."

With a sigh, Amelie decided to leave with the two red-haired elves to check on the progress of the ritual to communicate with the Elf Queen.

"Could you let me study these two samples for a while?"

But then old man Langdon stopped Emerald, pointing at the two red-haired elves and saying:

“Although they are dead, their bodies still have vitality, and the life flames on their bodies are somewhat different from the life flames of your maid, Miss… I want to study them, as they may advance the technology of artificial fusion organs.”

"The life-giving flames on their bodies are different from Sissi's?"

Amelie raised an eyebrow, quite curiously asking:

"Where exactly is it different?"

"I haven't done any in-depth research yet, so I can't make a judgment at the moment, but..."

Instead of describing it in words, old man Langdon showed it directly to Emery.

The robotic arm in the biological laboratory quickly grabbed two experimental mice, placed them on the experimental table in front of Emerald, and then cut off their limbs with a sharp blade.

Then the robotic arm brought two specially made sealed crystal bottles. One of the bottles contained a sample of Marcy's Flame of Life, while the other contained the Flame of Life that old man Langdon had previously collected from the two red-haired elves.

The two sealed crystal bottles were opened at the same time, and two seemingly identical flames of life force acted on the two mice simultaneously, and the two mice quickly recovered.

"Did you notice, young lady?"

After concluding this set of comparative experiments, old man Langdon spoke again:

"With your mastery of holy magic, you are arguably one of the world's top healers. You should be able to tell that the recovery processes of these two white mice are different, right?"

"Indeed..."

Emery's golden right eye gleamed, and she nodded in surprise.

"Although both white mice appear to have been healed by the abundant life force, Sisi's life flame seems to lack a certain power compared to the other two's life flames... Hmm."

After thinking for a few seconds, Amelie also chose to verify.

She blinked her gleaming golden right eye directly at the two white mice.

The concept of magic holds that everything must eventually die.

Immediately, the two white mice, which had just recovered and were still lively, kicked their legs and died.

Even without slowing down the video, it's clear that the mouse healed by the two red-haired elves' flames of life lasted a little longer than the mouse healed by Marcy's flames of life before dying, by about 600 milliseconds.

"...I knew it."

The conjecture was confirmed, and Emery sighed.

The concept of magic belongs to the level of world rules. A mere lab rat could not possibly resist the concept of magic. It should have been killed by a single glare from Emerald.

The little white mouse that had been healed by the life-giving flames of the two red-haired elves was able to withstand the power of the magical concept for 600 milliseconds.

Marcy's Flame of Life is native to this world and won't cause any problems, so it must be that the Flames of Life of those two red-haired elves have undergone a new change.

It's unlikely that the two of them possessed their own concept of magic... If they truly had that ability, they wouldn't have been so easily defeated and tormented by Ji Xinyu.

There's only one most likely possibility.

There exists a power equal to or even stronger than the laws of the world that has endowed the life-giving flames within the two red-haired elves with new special properties... such as divine power.

This possibility also aligns with Emeryte's second guess.

"You'd better stop researching those two."

Divine power is indeed immense, but it is also extremely dangerous.

Emerald immediately recalled her own near-disaster when she rashly researched the divine artifact scepter and almost had her soul corrupted by the Storm God, so she decisively retrieved the bodies of the two red-haired elves:

"The power they've acquired could be extremely dangerous, and it's not something you, Langdon, can currently access or control... Let's abandon this path."

"...You decide, Miss."

You could tell from Langdon's voice that he was still somewhat unwilling; his researcher's nature made him very curious about the two red-haired elves.

But as Langdon himself said before, he is no longer in a position to act recklessly; at the very least, he has to listen to his boss.

Don't be discouraged.

Emery was already very skilled at using the tactic of giving a slap followed by a treat.

She sensed the resentment in old Langdon's voice, so she smiled gently and said in the classic tone of a boss painting a rosy picture for an employee:

"Once you complete the artificial fusion organ project, or develop other alternative sources of magic, I can give you a six-month vacation and provide you with ample resources so you can research whatever you like to your heart's content."

"You said it yourself, Miss! You have to keep your word!"

The reward was very attractive to old man Langdon, and he immediately stopped paying attention to the two red-haired elves and became full of energy.

Just then, Marcy sent word that she had arrived in Locke City and that all the magical materials needed for the ritual to communicate with the Elf Queen were ready, and the ritual could begin at any time.

Chapter 344: Half a Month to Speedrun the Elf Race!

"Senior sister, your personal maid is excellent."

When Amelie returned to the manor where the fallen elven nobles lived, the first thing she heard was Ji Xinyu praising Masie highly.

The ritual to communicate with the Elf Queen requires the voluntary participation of a member of the Crimson Moon family. Marcy returned from Sphinx beforehand, bringing with her the magical materials needed for the ritual.

Perhaps she had grown tired of playing the Elf Noble game for many days in a row, because Ji Xinyu didn't make any physical advances towards Ma Xi, but she couldn't help but tease her a few times.

However, Marcy handled the situation very well. Over the years, Marcy had become a perfect etiquette maker, and even Ji Xinyu, who was of royal birth, could not find any fault with her.

"Sissi is my personal maid!"

Upon seeing this, Emery glared at Ji Xinyu:

"You're not allowed to make a move on her!"

"I know, I know..."

Ji Xinyu smiled broadly, but her eyes were very serious:

“I also have a personal maid who has been with me since I was a child. If you want to come to the East Pavilion to play with me, I will definitely hide her first... Back then, there was a guy who was only third in the imperial examination and was so arrogant that he even dared to flirt with my personal maid. I killed him on the spot and exterminated his entire family afterwards.”

"Hmph, you know that much."

Amelie didn't say anything more.

Communicating with smart people is so easy. What might seem like casual conversation actually involves them reaching a tacit understanding:

Two people can play around with each other however they want, but they are not allowed to make a move against the person the other truly cares about. Otherwise, even sisters who have cultivated together can go from being inseparable to becoming enemies.

However, this possibility is almost negligible, because Emery and Ji Xinyu are truly of the same kind. Both of them appear unrestrained on the surface, but in reality, they are very measured.

They appreciate beauty but are not greedy for it; they are not the kind of fools who would offend close and reliable allies for the sake of beauty.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, after confirming that the ritual to communicate with the Elf Queen was ready, Amelie instructed Spire to begin the ritual immediately.

Silbis didn't refuse. She selected five members of the Seven Rainbows family who were relatively healthy and mentally strong from among the fallen elven nobles. Together with herself and Marcy, there were seven of them. They led Amelie and Ji Xinyu into the basement of the manor.

Inside the basement, Silbi had already set up a ritual array in advance. The array wasn't very large, but the various runes and circuits were quite intricate.

The overall shape of the magic circle is the most common six-pointed star shape among magic circles, and its six corners and the center position are the seven most important nodes of the entire magic circle.

Under Sibi's command, six direct descendants of the Seven Rainbows Clan, including Masi, entered the magic circle first. They sat cross-legged at the six corner nodes and used meditation to resonate their bloodline power with the magic circle.

After all the sprites in the six corner nodes had returned to their positions, Silbis took off her shoes, rose barefoot from the ground, and gently floated to the center of the magic circle, touching the ground with the tip of her left foot.

!

As the last bit of Seven Rainbows family bloodline power from Sibi was injected into the magic array, the aura of the entire array instantly changed, becoming ancient and refreshing, as if a giant tree capable of creating the world had risen from the ground before their eyes.

"Why does it feel a bit like that divine tree in the Kingdom of Cherry Blossoms?"

Faced with the sudden change in the aura of the magic circle, Ji Xinyu couldn't help but take two steps back, changing from standing side by side with Amelie to standing behind Amelie.

Only then did Ji Xinyu have to admit that the Federation's judgment was correct; the Elf Queen should indeed be a powerhouse on par with the Dao Ancestor... It was just a communication ritual, yet those faint auras made Ji Xinyu's legs go weak.

Ji Xinyu also began to understand the meaning of Amelie's words—Amelie had said that the reason her strength had increased so much last year was because she was frightened by the Dao Ancestor.

...If I had ever faced that kind of being head-on, I probably would have lost all interest in bullying men and women and would only want to cultivate and become stronger every day.

While Ji Xinyu was secretly muttering to herself, Ameliete also looked at the Elf Queen's communication ritual with a strange expression.

If Amelie had witnessed this magical ritual a year ago, she might have simply thought it was a very profound elven magical ritual.

Having already been exposed to a considerable amount of theological knowledge, Amelie could see that this ritual was not merely a magical ritual, but also employed many methods similar to those used by high-ranking believers to invoke deities, such as the bloodline resonance of the direct descendants of the Seven Rainbows family, somewhat like a directional dialing of a faith circuit.

Could it be that the Elf Queen is actually a deity? But is there such a weak god? Moreover, the Elf race has never promoted any of the Elf Queen's thoughts or doctrines... In fact, if it weren't for that war, humans wouldn't even know of the Elf Queen's existence.

After the two onlookers had been lost in their own thoughts for a few minutes, the resonating bloodline power within the magic circle suddenly began to concentrate on Silbis, causing her aura to rapidly strengthen. Before long, she resembled the giant tree that had created the world in the previous illusion.

When Sibi opened her eyes again after they had been slightly closed, her eyes were still green, but the light in them was completely different. Just one glance at Ameliete and Ji Xinyu was enough to make Ji Xinyu subconsciously take two steps back.

"...So the so-called communication magic ritual is just you transferring your will onto your proxy."

Emerald remained standing, neither servile nor arrogant in the face of 'Spi's' gaze, and even bowed according to the general clergy etiquette she had learned from the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult:

"How should I address you? Your Majesty, Queen of the Elves... or should I call you Your Majesty?"

"...Just call me Your Majesty. I am no longer Your Majesty."

'Silby' spoke, her tone unchanged, yet inexplicably much more authoritative, completely different from her previous seductive manner that made even serious conversations sound like flirting:

"I have learned most of the situation from my maids' memories. I can only stay conscious for a limited time, so I will keep it short."

"Please give your orders, Your Majesty."

Emerald remained very polite, while Ji Xinyu hid completely behind Emerald, pretending to be invisible.

"We must stop Theresa Scarlet Moon, as soon as possible, preferably within half a month."

'Silbi's' tone was serious:

"She not only betrayed me, but also the world. She is currently doing something very dangerous in the Elf capital, which is also a great threat to the world."

After a brief pause, 'Silvy' added again:

"The harm is greater than that of the Dao Ancestor merging with the Dao. If the Dao Ancestor succeeds in merging with the Dao, we will at most lose our freedom. But if Theresa Scarlet Moon succeeds, our world may lose everything."

“Go…go and reclaim the Elven capital, stop Theresa Scarlet Moon, and hold the ritual in the Elven capital to awaken me again. I can answer most of your questions and make the promise you desire most…”

As 'Silbi' spoke, her aura suddenly fluctuated, and the ancient and majestic feeling disappeared, replaced by Sibi's charming allure.

The spirits at the six corner nodes of the hexagram magic circle were clearly also under great burden due to the ritual.

Apart from the strongest member, Masie, who still seemed relatively relaxed, the other members of the Seven Rainbows Clan were all drenched in sweat and breathing rapidly, their bloodline power completely exhausted.

The ceremony is over.

As the officiant of the ceremony and the elf who carries the consciousness of the Elf Queen, Silbi's burden is actually the heaviest of all the elves.

But Spiby is, after all, the head of the Celestial family, and she is the strongest, so she only looks slightly more tired than Marcy, and much stronger than the other elves.

"...What do you think, Miss?"

Silbis looked at Emerald with an even friendlier and more alluring attitude than before:
