Hail the King

Chapter 959: I Have an Interesting Idea (Part One)

While chatting and laughing, they arrived at a green and quiet mountain; this was where Akinfeev had been living in the last while.

There was a simple straw house at the peak of the mountain, and the mountain spring flowed down from the summit until it reached the foot. Greeneries grew everywhere, and veins intertwined and grew delicately. The plants were vibrant and crystal-like, making this place seem beautiful and dreamy.

“Your Majesty, you are here to ask me some questions, right?” Akinfeev was clever. After learning the situation on the continent from Fei’s brief descriptions, he guessed Fei’s intention of coming here, so he opened the topic actively.

“That is right.” Fei didn’t try to hide anything. He asked directly, “I want to know more about the Elf Clan. Right now, there are many rumors about other races appearing on the continent, including the elf troops. It doesn’t seem like these rumors are all fake. How come these ancient races are all appearing after disappearing for so long? Where did they come from? Perhaps you can give me some clues.”

Fei didn’t come here for no reason.

Akinfeev had the Elf King Bloodline, and his father was mysterious and quite powerful. It was clear that Akinfeev’s family was connected to the ancient Elf Clan, so this young man must know something.

After a moment of silence, Akinfeev waved his hand and signaled the two half-elf maids to leave.

Then, he turned around and said to Fei earnestly, “These things are secretive. To put it more seriously, it concerns the fate of the Elf Clan. Theoretically, I should keep it as a top-secret, and I shouldn’t tell anyone. However, when my father planned for my trip, he told me that I no longer have to bear the so-called mission as an elf, and I’m no longer a part of the Elf Clan. If I can meet a lord that deserves my loyalty, I should focus on it and live on. Hehe, I don’t mind you laughing, but I have already treated myself as a Chambordian since a year ago. Therefore, since Your Majesty is here to ask me these questions personally, I will tell you everything that I know.

Fei nodded and said, “I already thought of you as a Chambordian since a while ago. We are friends, right?”

Akinfeev laughed and nodded, and he said, “It is my honor. That is right, I know a few things about the Elf Clan. When I was home, I came into contact with some ancient documents, recording what happened near the end of the Mythical Era. At that time, nature changed drastically, and one kind of terrifying enemies appeared. Even both gods and demons couldn’t do anything. The affiliated races all suffered heavy losses, and they almost went extinct. However, the clans and races that were powerful still reacted in time. The masters in these clans had godly powers, and they all created contingency plans for their races. Some of them created small worlds and opened independent spaces in the void. Then, the most talented descendants were meticulously picked to survive. The Elf Clan was no different. In legends, the 36 Guardian Gods of the Queen of Moon Godly Palace sacrificed themselves and burned their godly core energies, creating the mysterious Elf Realm. Then, all the members of the Elf Clan who survived to that point were all transferred into this realm to avoid the tragedy. Therefore, if these documents about my clan are correct, the Elf Clan wasn’t exterminated like most people believe. They have been living and reproducing inside the Elf Realm, and perhaps they have grown powerful as well. Therefore, it isn’t strange that they walked out of the Elf Realm and reappeared on the Azeroth Continent.”

“What about the so-called legendary ancient path at Chambord?” Fei thought of something and asked, “Since you already know about the Elf Realm, why did you still want to find the legendary ancient path?”

“I only found some clues in the ancient documents in my family about the Elf Realm, so I don’t know where the entrance to this realm is and how to get there. Therefore, I wanted to find the legendary ancient path by using my luck. If I could enter the Elf Realm, it would have alleviated my injuries. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything. Also, it seemed like my father was wary of my actions, so he instantly scheduled my leave from the family. I’m still confused; it seemed like he was worried about my safety.”

“Oh, I see.” This was Fei’s first time listening to this, and he pondered. After a while, he asked, “Huh, about the Elf Realm… it is similar to this small world, right? It is an independent space parallel to the Azeroth Continent. Just like hibernating bears, the Elf Clan has been resting and recovering in the Elf Realm?”

Akinfeev nodded and added, “Perhaps they already started to move around the continent long ago. It is just that most people don’t know. For example, my family, my bloodline…” While he said that, he pointed at the two cute half-elf maids. “For example, them.”

“The ancient races have already appeared on the continent, and they have been growing their forces in secret? Penetrating human society?” Fei was shocked by this hypothesis, and he thought to himself, “This is terrifying! It is like a spy movie! However, the appearance of Akinfeev’s father’s family itself says a lot.”

“The Elf Clan wasn’t the most powerful race in the Mythical Era. Since they used this method to avoid the tragedy and pass on the bloodline, other races such as dragon, goblin, and orc must have used their own methods of escaping all that.” Akinfeev thought for a moment and said, “Therefore, the rumors about people seeing these races on the continent might not be false.”

“What you said is interesting.” Fei rubbed his chin and said while pondering, “They haven’t appeared for thousands of years, so why did they all come out recently? Do you know why?”

“This… there are many reasons. For example, I have heard people say that the laws of nature on the Azeroth Continent are slowly changing, gradually shifting back to how it was during the Mythical Era. Perhaps, the small worlds that the masters created thousands of years ago are coming to an end, so they are forced to come back.”

“Yeah, it seems like what you said make sense.” Fei instantly thought of another question, and he asked, “Since the various ancient races used these methods to help their descendants live on, I guess the legend about the ancient path at Chambord is nothing but a rumor? How come out of all the rumors right now, there is no information on the Orc Clan? Could it be that this powerful and war-loving race in the Mythical Era went extinct?”

“This is strange. Perhaps the orcs had bad luck and were wiped out. After all, in the legends, the Orc Race didn’t excel in magic, so perhaps they weren’t able to create their small world.” Akinfeev didn’t overthink about it.

“Now that you have advanced into the Sun-Class Realm, you aren’t afraid of the pressure of nature in the outside world, and you can return now. With your strength, you are a master who can dominate over a region. Do you have any plans?” Fei suddenly changed the topic.

Akinfeev smiled and said, “I already said that I’m a Chambordian. I will do whatever Your Majesty wishes.”

“I have an interesting idea.” Fei’s smile was strange.
