Early the next morning.
Although Lu Ran was in Blackfire City, the academy had granted special permission, so he still didn’t need to attend the morning assembly.
After all.
The nature of the academy’s morning assembly itself was to provide assistance to students during their one-month novice period after class advancement.
Mentors would answer all questions encountered by the students and offer some aid.
But for Lu Ran,
with the backing of the three major guild leaders, he had absolutely no need for the academy’s help.
Or rather, the academy’s help was utterly worthless to Lu Ran!
“Ready to enter the Elven territory with me?” Liu Xinxin asked, looking at Lu Ran.
“Let’s go.” Lu Ran nodded solemnly.
He was quite interested in the impending great battle between the Forest Elves and the Dark Elves.
Next,
the two used a special directional teleportation that could only be activated by those with Elven bloodline or the special Elven class.
Subsequently, a small, identical teleportation circle appeared beneath each of their feet.
Under the watchful eyes of Lei Tai and Ye Hongyi, they vanished from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ran and Liu Xinxin appeared in the Teleportation Plaza.
Lu Ran found everything around him novel and fascinating.
The trees here reached for the sky, far surpassing Lu Ran’s understanding of a forest.
It wasn’t just the impossibly massive World Tree, indescribably huge.
Even the ordinary trees surrounding them were so thick and tall that Lu Ran felt as if he had entered a world of giants.
“Where exactly is this place? Can other class holders not come here without teleportation?” Lu Ran asked curiously.
“You can think of it as a separate instance, a separately existing small world plane. One needs to teleport to enter. Those qualified to teleport in, besides Elven clan members, include humans who have advanced to Elven classes, and your special Emissary status,” Liu Xinxin explained.
At that moment,
guards noticed someone had teleported in and immediately approached.
Seeing Liu Xinxin, they didn’t react much, but upon seeing Lu Ran, their hostility became noticeably more intense.
However, this hostility lasted only a few seconds.
When they saw the emblem of the Forest Elf Emissary status on Lu Ran’s chest, their attitude instantly did a 180-degree turn.
They even in unison performed an Elven gesture of respect.
The lead guard said respectfully, “Honored Emissary, welcome.”
Oh?
Even Liu Xinxin was somewhat surprised. Was the Emissary status really that prestigious?
These guards’ attitude towards human class holders had never been this good before!
It even surpassed their attitude towards their fellow Elves!
Presumably, obtaining this Emissary status must be extremely difficult. Who would have thought High Priestess Haili would give it away just like that!
Afterwards, the two were personally escorted by the guards to the residential quarter.
Next was the waiting period.
“You’re already Level 34?” Liu Xinxin asked.
“Yes, reached Level 33 at the Wraithwood, and got to Level 34 from yesterday’s team dungeons. Not too far from Level 35 now,” Lu Ran nodded.
“Team dungeons really are faster for leveling up. Places like the Wraithwood are rare finds; waiting for them to respawn and accumulate takes a very long time,” Liu Xinxin remarked.
She hadn’t expected Lu Ran’s leveling speed to be this fast either!
It just showed the three guild leaders were sparing no effort taking Lu Ran through various grinding.
For an ordinary person, even scions of major families, such speed would be impossible!
It wasn’t just due to Lu Ran’s abilities.
But also privileges.
Whether it’s the Serpent’s Sanctum, the Misty Ravine, or the Wraithwood, those aren’t places ordinary people are qualified to farm.
Coupled with Lu Ran’s own abilities, his monster-clearing speed is practically unmatched in the world!
“Unlocking new skills and affixes at Level 35 will come soon enough.”
Liu Xinxin sighed and said, “But don’t feel any pressure. With your current power, dominating globally is already more than sufficient. No one could possibly suppress you. Even our roles as guild leaders are becoming less significant now. Currently, your safety is paramount; there’s no need to pursue the absolute extreme in growth speed.”
Given Lu Ran’s current abilities,
his skill coverage range has reached 200 kilometers.
His skill casting range has also reached 200 kilometers.
With an infinitely stacking Bone Storm within this range, which nation’s army could withstand it?
With infinite casts of Spectral Grasp within this range, no one would be able to move even a single step!
Don’t forget,
Lu Ran also has Corrosion skills. During a national war, one Corrosion cast could lead the entire nation of Dragon Xia to ascension!
Soon,
time reached 10 o’clock.
The Elven Queen summoned them.
Lu Ran and Liu Xinxin, following the team of human class holders, were led beneath the World Tree for the final cleansing ritual.
A large force of Forest Elves had already gathered here.
The number couldn’t be accurately counted, but there were at least several hundred thousand troops!
Among them, Elven warriors, archers, and heavy cavalry were all arrayed separately.
Discipline was strict.
The usually tranquil and peaceful Forest Elves now exuded an aura of military might and valor!
Elven Queen Tina prepared to address the troops and glanced towards the human class holders’ direction.
She suddenly froze.
Then, frowning deeply, she walked over.
She came directly before Lu Ran.
“Who are you? How did you get in here!” Tina demanded sharply.
Even intense killing intent flashed in her eyes!
It couldn’t be helped; it was just too obvious. Whether Forest Elves or humans who had advanced to Elven classes, their skin tone and even ears differed significantly from ordinary humans.
Lu Ran’s Asian complexion really stood out here.
Before Lu Ran could answer,
Tina also suddenly noticed the Elven Emissary emblem on Lu Ran’s chest.
She was taken aback.
In surprise, she said, “An Elven Emissary? To date, there are only seven living Emissaries of the Forest Elves, and you are not among them. How did you obtain Emissary status?”
Ah, this…
Lu Ran hadn’t expected to be targeted by the Elven Queen right after arriving. This hostility was rather strong!
After speaking, Tina didn’t forget to add, “Moreover, you are an evil Necromancer! Such a class is not permitted in the Elven Woods!”
At this moment,
Liu Xinxin stepped forward and said, “His name is Lu Ran, he’s my younger brother. Although he lacks Elven bloodline, his Emissary status was obtained through legitimate means, personally bestowed by Prophet Haili. Since he is an Emissary, why would he not be qualified to be in the Elven Woods? Furthermore, my brother is here to help. With the Dark Elves’ current strength, even you, Queen, don’t have full confidence in victory, do you?”
Liu Xinxin’s words surprised Tina.
She turned her head to look in a certain direction on the trunk of the World Tree.
That was precisely Prophet Haili’s residence.
Her gaze fell there, and she found Prophet Haili was also watching this direction.
Sitting on a small stool, she was smiling cheerfully towards them.
Noticing Tina’s look, she smiled and waved her hand.
Tina respectfully performed a gesture of respect towards Prophet Haili, then turned back to look at Lu Ran.
She then said, “Since it is the Prophet’s special permission, there is naturally no issue. However, this campaign against the Dark Elves carries high risk. The tasks have already been assigned; the Emissary can also trigger them. Whether you survive to claim the rewards depends on your own fate.”
After speaking, she turned and walked away to begin mobilizing the army.
She didn’t dwell on Lu Ran’s identity any further.
The Prophet’s favor really carries great weight!
