Valensa clicked her tongue, then thought for a moment and asked:
"Did you participate in the attack on that small village a few days ago?"
"no!"
The elf shook his head repeatedly:
"I have never harmed any human. In fact, I am a victim myself... I have never even used the human men that my sisters captured... because I prefer goblins and minotaurs to human men."
"Really?"
"Truly, I swear on my real name to Your Majesty the Goddess!"
As the elf spoke, she tried to raise her right hand, but because of the paralyzing poison that Thousand Leaf Grass had previously administered, she had no strength to raise her hand and failed several times.
"...Alright, I believe you, and I'll give you that chance."
Valensa sighed:
"Tell me your name. After this incident is over, I can personally write you a letter of recommendation so you can go to the cathedral in Chuyun City on Mirror Island to train."
"Thank you, Holy Knight! May the Goddess's radiance forever favor you!"
The elf, whose future was now assured, was overjoyed:
"You may call me Serbi, sir."
"What?"
Valensa was stunned:
"What did you say your name was again?"
"My lord, my daughter's name is Serbi."
The elf seemed to think Valensa hadn't heard her clearly, so she quickly and loudly answered again very seriously before cautiously asking:
"Is there something wrong with my name, sir? If you are not satisfied, I can change it."
"...No, it's okay."
Valensa took a deep breath, forcing herself to suppress a laugh:
"You don't need to change your name, it suits you well, so let's leave it as it is."
"Ah? Oh... Thank you, sir..."
And so, the guide elf Serbi successfully joined the team. While Valensa had Thousand Leaf Grass and Tia take turns detoxifying Serbi and removing the seal, she also asked Serbi for some information... mainly about the strength of the North Blade Bay elf tribe.
Elves' racial talents are indeed much stronger than those of humans; every elf is a born cultivator.
However, the cultivation speed of most elves cannot compare with that of humans... For example, Serbi is almost 170 years old and is only at the Pearl level. Although all elves in the tribe can cultivate, they are basically at the Firefly or Candlelight level.
There are only 11 Pearl-level and Lighthouse-level elves in total, including Serbi... It doesn't sound like many, but considering that the tribe's total population is only 87, it's terrifying.
If humanity had more than one-tenth the number of Pearl-level cultivators in its total population, it would have already wiped out the three major natural disasters on the Frenoia continent.
In short, the overall combat strength of the elves in North Edge Bay is not strong, which is why they have to accept the protection of the Chiba family and live a secluded life here.
For Valensa and her team, the only enemy they need to worry about in the elven tribe right now is that high priest.
Although this high priestess's cultivation talent wasn't particularly outstanding, and she only managed to reach the Radiant Rank by sheer age at over 330, she is now over 600 years old and has been at the Radiant Rank for nearly 300 years. She is a veteran among the Radiant Rank experts and should not be underestimated.
Furthermore, Serbi suggested that after being baptized by the masked woman, all the elves, though becoming extremely corrupt, also gained some new power... The High Priestess was no exception; her power should be even greater.
After figuring out the approximate combat strength of the Northblade Bay elves, Valensa and the others discussed it and all felt that a direct confrontation was not a good approach; the best solution would be to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Seeing Serbi's occasional glances at Giru, Valensa had an idea.
The "handsome man" strategy.
Chapter 66 Blitzkrieg Elf Tribe
The sacrificial rituals of cults, regardless of their scale, should never be taken lightly.
Because evil gods do exist in this world, and the power of many evil gods is extremely dangerous. Even a small portion of their power entering the mortal realm could cause enormous destruction.
No matter when or where, once a cult is discovered to be planning or conducting a sacrificial ritual, it must be stopped as soon as possible. This is a consensus reached by the people of Frenoia after paying a heavy price.
The information that the elves of Northblade Bay were mentally corrupted by an evil god and were about to hold a sacrificial ceremony gave Valensa a legitimate reason to enter the Chiba family's military restricted area.
Paladins are justified in their fight against cults, and no one or organization can stop them; even national laws must step aside.
Ziye no longer had any legal basis to stop Valensa and the others from entering North Blade Bay, so she had no choice but to agree and join the operation.
Having someone to guide you makes things much easier.
As one of only 11 elite warriors in the Northblade Bay Elf Tribe, Serbi is considered a mid-to-high-level member, able to participate in some of the tribe's decisions and possessing a thorough understanding of the defensive layout.
She could not only lead Valensa and her group to avoid the elven sentries, but also forge friendly force identification signals to deceive the elven territory's barrier and achieve complete detection.
The infiltration went smoothly.
Similar to the barrier that Tia set up in the backyard of her mansion in the border town of Jilan, the North Blade Bay elven territory also used an illusion barrier for disguise.
From the sea, this place appears to be just an ordinary naval port; in reality, there are no warships at all, and the samurai and ninjas are all elves in disguise.
The real Northblade Bay is a small elf settlement that is similar to what is described in adventure novels.
At the very center is the clan's mother tree, which is about 200 meters tall—about the height of two 30-story apartment buildings stacked together, like the ones Valensa lived in her previous life. Combined with its trunk, which is about 7 or 8 meters in diameter, it looks truly magnificent.
The mother tree is lush and its canopy covers an area of over a kilometer. Huge wooden balls hang from the branches of the mother tree by thick vines, suspended at heights ranging from 20 to 50 meters above the ground. The largest wooden ball is about the size of a basketball court, while the smallest is about 20 to 30 square meters, equivalent to a single bedroom.
These wooden spheres are all hollow. The larger spheres are public spaces for the elves, such as restaurants, bathhouses, meeting rooms, and administrative offices. The smaller ones are the elves' individual dormitories, with wooden beds, wardrobes, and other furniture inside, as well as many beautiful, glowing ornaments and pendants, most of which emit a fluorescent green light, exactly like the blade of the radiation dagger.
The decorations were all made of radioactive minerals, and the elves were living in a radiation-filled environment without taking any protective measures!
Valensa was very surprised and quickly called Serbi over to ask her questions in detail, and then gave Serbi a check-up.
As expected, the Elf race is surprisingly immune to radiation, and their skin is even more effective at blocking radiation than lead.
Not only that, the elves also have built-in radiation... When Valensa put the Geiger counter to Serbi's mouth, the numbers on it suddenly increased a lot.
It's no wonder that male monsters like goblins, minotaurs, and earth apes are no match for the elves. Besides the fact that the elves have gained a succubus-like ability to absorb essence after being corrupted by the evil god, the radiation in their bodies is also quite deadly.
This is a race that can only be admired from afar and not deeply interacted with. Unless you are not afraid of radiation, anyone who dares to marry an elf will probably not live more than a month!
Of course, considering the unique nature of the North Edge Bay Pokémon, other Pokémon may not be like this.
In short, the core structures of the entire elven tribe were all wooden spheres hanging from the mother tree. There were also some buildings on the ground, but most of them were simple wooden sheds for storing miscellaneous items, and there were also some magical artificial greenhouses used to grow herbs and fruits.
The wooden sheds on the ground now house many humanoid creatures, more than 80% of whom are goblins, with a few minotaurs and bear-men among the rest.
Without exception, these humanoid creatures were all male, and they had all been used by the elves. They all looked listless, and it wouldn't be surprising if they died from exhaustion at any time.
No humans were found.
"They should have already been moved to the altar."
Serbi glanced around and made a judgment. She led Valensa and the others to carefully circle around the area covered by the mother tree's canopy, and then circled around to the side of the mother tree facing the sea.
The newly built altar to the evil god by the elves, under the influence of the masked woman, is located here.
The altar itself is not large, only about 1 meter in diameter and 3 meters high. It looks a lot like an artificial rockery in a fountain, except that the surrounding pools are not filled with clear fountain water, but with bright red blood.
The main body of the altar is a strange wooden carving. The carving style is quite abstract, and you can only barely make out a sheep-headed creature. It is difficult to distinguish any more details.
Further out from the altar, there was a ring of soft mats the size of single beds laid on the ground, and on each mat lay a naked human male, who looked rosy-cheeked and seemed to be in good spirits.
But according to Serbi, these men had actually been subjected to the elves' insatiable and frantic exploitation for many days, and were almost on the verge of death... Their current state could only be described as a final burst of energy before death, and it was only after the elves spent an entire day using both medicine and magic to make them look like this.
Around these men were about fifty-six hungry elves, each looking at the men with longing in their eyes, wishing they could pounce on them immediately but being stopped by some force, and could only stand there drooling and clenching their legs, like starving mother wolves.
Only the elf closest to the center of the altar was relatively calm. Her attire was also noticeably different. She was no longer dressed in a strapless top, shorts, and a cloak, but instead wore a high-slit robe and held a wooden staff. She had an extremely voluptuous figure and prominent maternal features, but she had heavy dark circles under her eyes, as if she had been working overtime for half a month without sleep.
She is the high priestess of this elven tribe, a powerful 600-year-old Radiant-rank expert. Her exaggeratedly large figure makes one feel the weight of life with every step she takes.
Valensa's first impression of the High Priest was that he was a weakling... She was confident she could beat him in a one-on-one fight even before he was promoted to the Radiant Rank.
This is someone who has reached the Rank of Radiant solely through age, with almost no combat experience. He possesses only an evolved body and powerful magic, making him practically a paper tiger.
But... is he really that bad?
Could it be like some martial arts masters whose moves appear full of flaws but are actually invincible?
After all, he is a 600-year-old Rank Glory cultivator who has also obtained the power of an evil god; we absolutely cannot be careless.
After observing secretly for a while, Valensa decided to abandon her plan to rush up and behead the high priest and proceed with the original plan instead.
It's time for you to show off your strong manly charm, Giroud!
After receiving a signal from Valencia with his eyes, Giroud, a 2.5-meter-tall, muscular man, actually showed a hint of shyness and blushed slightly.
But the safety of her companions is more important... Even if Valensa can easily defeat the High Priest, it is still a battle between Radiant Ranks, and the others may not be safe. It would be better to create an advantageous opportunity for Valensa to strike first and severely injure or even kill the High Priest.
Giru took a deep breath and nodded, cooperating with Serbi's vine binding spell to bind him. Like a trophy, Serbi led him out of the hiding place and towards the elves near the altar.
The sudden appearance of a figure in the shadows startled the elves, but they regained their composure after realizing it was Serbi leading a man back.
Immediately, the elves became excited again, the sounds of drooling and inhaling rising and falling, their beautiful eyes fixed on Gillu with intense desire, wishing they could immediately take him to his death on the spot.
Hey sisters!
Serbi, beaming with pride, led Giru towards the altar:
"I've caught a real gem. He seems to be an adventurer who's been training alone. I seduced him a little and got him."
After all, Serbi is only a Pearl-level Pokémon, and Gil seems to be stronger than her. It would be suspicious to say that Serbi defeated Gil head-on, but it would be reasonable for her to lure him in and then take him down in a surprise attack.
The elves, whose minds were already filled with images of Gil's strong physique, had no suspicions whatsoever. Several elves couldn't resist rushing over and touching Gil's strong, hard muscles, and some even stuck out their tongues to lick them.
Only the elven high priest cautiously inquired about some more details, and asked Serbi why she had returned alone and where the other elf was.
Having prepared her lines in advance, Serbi answered fluently and easily, saying that another elf had discovered a new goblin nest and was going to catch toys, while she would first bring back the finest item, Gil, for her sisters to enjoy.
The elves around him became even more enthusiastic upon hearing this, and immediately tried to pull down Gil's pants, but Serbi suddenly pushed them away with a frosty expression:
"What are you doing? Don't you know the rules? Don't you know your place? We can let the ordinary ones go, but shouldn't such a fine man be given to the High Priest first? You all just wait!"
As one of the tribe's elite warriors, Serbi's anger still carried some weight, instantly deterring many elves, but the high priest remained unmoved.
So Serbi put on a fawning smile again and led Giru to the High Priest's side:
"My lord, you must be exhausted after working so hard for the ceremony for so many days. Why don't you relax with this fine product first? Look at his strong physique and solid muscles... how wonderful!"
The high priest's gaze naturally fell on Giru. Even though she tried to remain calm, she couldn't hide the longing in her eyes, and even licked her lips.
"But the ceremony is about to begin, such a wonderful man should be sacrificed..."
"Precisely because he is the best offering, you should examine him carefully first, sir."
As Serbi spoke, she pushed Giru directly in front of the high priest:
“Take a closer look. Such a strong male, even if it loses some essence and vitality before becoming a sacrifice, it shouldn’t matter, right?”
“…That’s true.”
The high priest finally couldn't resist any longer. He loosened his grip and tossed aside the wooden staff, reaching out to touch Giru's muscles, his eyes gradually becoming glazed over.
"Don't worry, Serbi, I won't treat you unfairly. I'll personally promote you after the ceremony is complete, so you can have more power."
"Yes, thank you sir."
Serbi spoke as she quickly retreated, seemingly not wanting to disturb the High Priest's enjoyment of a rare, strong male, but actually...
Whoosh!
Just as the high priest was sitting on Giru and reaching out to pull down Giru's underwear, a beam of cold moonlight suddenly shot out from Giru's underwear, piercing the unsuspecting high priest through the heart with a single sword strike.
But the high priestess did not fall. The wound on her chest did not even bleed. Instead, countless pink granulation tissues appeared and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Serbi, you betrayed me?"
The high priestess reacted quickly, immediately regaining her senses from her desires and figuring out what had happened. With one hand, she lightly flicked her finger to summon her wooden staff, while with the other, she slapped Giru on the head... She assumed that Giru had been the one who had pierced her heart with a sword, and that he had hidden some kind of weapon in his underwear.
But that's not actually the case at all. Giroud simply hid a Tia magic card in his pocket and used it to connect with space, allowing Valensa to deliver a heart-piercing blow with Moon Kiss from hundreds of meters away.
However, the Radiant Elf, who had lived for over 600 years and was corrupted by the power of the Evil God, was not so easy to defeat. What was fatal to an ordinary person seemed to be nothing more than a tickle to her.
Fortunately, the opportunity had been created. Moon Kiss flashed once more, the Exquisite Magic Sword was activated, and Valensa teleported directly in front of the High Priest, throwing a punch.
The high priest, who had been focused entirely on Giru, had no idea of this situation. Valensa delivered a solid punch to his chest, turning his once-proud chest into a flat plain.
