Volume 9, Chapter 26 – Xingyu Muxi’s Intuition

Scrolls were generally tools used to inscribe magic.

Of course… scrolls could also be used to record written information. It was just that very few people would be so extravagant as to use scrolls to transmit messages.

However, elves were an exception.

Taking the scroll that recorded the information, Xingyu Muxi subconsciously focused her attention on the text written on it.

Although the game had changed drastically, the system’s built-in translation function still existed. So even text written in the elf race’s unique script was something Xingyu Muxi could understand… well, provided she had been accepted by the faction.

So as the Elven Queen, Xingyu Muxi naturally had no problem reading elven writing.

“Hm?”

After reading the contents recorded on the scroll, Xingyu Muxi’s beautiful brows knitted together.

It was obvious that what was written on the scroll was not good news.

“The plane is suspected to have an unknown enemy who appears to have crossed over illegally, and a disturbance was caused not long ago… approximately over a hundred elves are missing, and the troops dispatched to investigate have also lost contact…”

Rubbing her brow, Xingyu Muxi put down the scroll in her hand.

“When did this start?”

“Your Majesty, approximately three hours ago.”

“Three hours ago?”

It had to be said that the response speed of the Nature Plane was actually very fast.

From noticing elves going missing to quickly dispatching troops to investigate, all of it had been done within just three hours. Although the outcome was not ideal, with the investigation troops losing contact.

“Enemy unknown… daring to openly cause destruction in the main base. If such a person isn’t reckless to the point of not fearing death, then there’s only one other possibility.”

Although the elven council elders handed this scroll to her merely to inform her, there was no implication in the text that Xingyu Muxi was expected to personally intervene.

After all, although the elves of the Nature Plane were fewer in number compared to other races, even then there were still tens of millions of elves.

The disappearance of a few hundred elves among tens of millions was like a drop in the ocean. It could be said that this matter was not worth the Elven Queen Xingyu Muxi personally taking action.

However…

Looking at the contents of the scroll, for some reason, Xingyu Muxi faintly developed an intuition that this was something she absolutely had to deal with herself.

“Your Majesty’s meaning is?”

Naturally, while Xingyu Muxi had been thinking so much, the messenger responsible for delivering the information hadn’t thought that far and simply followed up on Xingyu Muxi’s earlier words.

“What I mean is that this matter isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface. There must be some unknown secrets hidden within it. So for now, let the council elders set this aside. I’ll handle it personally.”

“Eh? Your Majesty is going to handle it personally?”

Although she was a newly appointed queen and hadn’t established much authority among the elves yet, as a queen who possessed Throne-tier strength, her power itself was a form of authority.

So in a certain sense, there were no elves in the Nature faction who would dare to disobey Xingyu Muxi’s words.

“Mm. Pass it down. The elders don’t need to concern themselves with this matter. I’ll resolve it myself.”

As the supreme existence of the Nature faction, the sole Throne-tier, the Elven Queen who commanded the power of Nature chose to step in personally.

There was no doubt that in the elves’ understanding, such an action completely overturned common sense.

But no matter how much it defied common sense, Xingyu Muxi still intended to personally take action.

The intuition of a Throne-tier could sometimes guide Xingyu Muxi forward with astonishing accuracy. Like predetermined fate itself, no matter where one was, they would move toward a destined direction.

After deciding to handle this matter personally, Xingyu Muxi naturally began asking about the various details related to it.

Of course, the messenger who delivered the information only knew that much. So the next thing Xingyu Muxi needed to do was to ask the elven elder who had previously handled this matter.

Very soon, led by the messenger, Xingyu Muxi arrived at a room that was clearly used to handle affairs. And there, Xingyu Muxi met the elven elder who had dealt with the unknown enemy incident earlier.

Although she was called an elven elder, from appearances alone she was actually just a very beautiful elf. She wore an exquisitely crafted long robe unique to the elf race, and on her head was a beautiful flower wreath that seemed to have been woven by her own hands.

“Your Majesty—”

Seeing Xingyu Muxi arrive, the elven elder performed the elegant and proper etiquette unique to the elf race.

After a brief exchange between the two, Xingyu Muxi stated her purpose.

“Eh? Your Majesty wishes to personally take over this matter?”

Rеaⅾ οո ΚatRеаdinɡCαfe

Her small mouth slightly parted, the elven elder was clearly extremely surprised by Xingyu Muxi’s decision.

Although the disappearance of over a hundred elves was not a trivial matter, it wasn’t something that should alarm the leader of the entire faction either.

Yet the problem was that Xingyu Muxi, as the leader, had expressed her intent to personally resolve something that she theoretically shouldn’t have needed to care about.

“Mm. I plan to personally take over this matter. Although in your eyes this indeed doesn’t require me to step in, I feel that this matter is very important to me…”

“Very important? I see…”

Although she didn’t understand what level of importance Xingyu Muxi meant by “very important”, since Xingyu Muxi as the queen had already spoken, the elven elder naturally couldn’t continue to make things difficult for her.

Of course, she had no intention of stopping Xingyu Muxi to begin with.

“Since Your Majesty feels this matter is important to you, as your subordinate I naturally won’t obstruct you in any way. Then, I will inform you of the intelligence we have gathered.”

Since Xingyu Muxi was taking over this matter, the relevant intelligence naturally had to be reported to her.

And that was Xingyu Muxi’s original purpose in the first place.

“As for the specific intelligence, we actually don’t know much on our end. However… there is one piece of information we managed to obtain. That enemy who crossed over illegally appears to be a girl suspected to be human.”

“A female?”

“Yes.”

The elven elder nodded.

“The power that girl uses is very strange… it’s somewhat similar to the power of human paladins, but it’s different from a paladin’s holy light.”

“According to the latest information returned, the power that girl used appeared blood-like in color.”

Power similar to a paladin’s holy light, yet different from a paladin’s power, and the manifested color of that power was blood-like.

When these three points were combined, the answer was already almost obvious.

However… although she had faintly guessed the answer, Xingyu Muxi still felt uncertain.

“Is that girl’s hair silver-white?”

Yes, as far as Xingyu Muxi knew, the only one in the world who used such power seemed to be Tianyin.

And the answer Xingyu Muxi guessed was also Tianyin, or someone related to Tianyin.

However, the answer was not the confirmation Xingyu Muxi expected.

Instead—

“No. That girl’s hair color, like her power, was also blood-like in color…”
