Chapter 698: Yecheng: What? You Say I'm an Elf!
"Hmph, a trusted minister guarding the kingdom's borders? But I've heard that the Omega family is merely a Baronial house, with a small and rather barren territory."
Regarding the Midgar Kingdom's treatment of Yecheng, Princess Roze had already informed King Olyana.
King Midgar, having previously overlooked Yecheng's talents and strength, now regretted his past actions.
"Who said the Omega family is not valued in the Midgar Kingdom? Just a few days ago, my mother, Medis Omega, was invited by the Queen to have afternoon tea together."
Alekshia, the second princess, was not entirely pleased with her father's words, but given the current situation, she had to stand by the Midgar Kingdom.
Even setting aside her status as the second princess, she was doing this for herself!
If Yecheng were to marry Princess Roze, what would become of her, Princess Alekshia?
While the two kings and the princess argued over this matter, the knight who had sparked this dispute prepared to visit the Shiyue Merchant Guild.
The deaths of King Olyana and Dameim were undoubtedly the work of the Diabloros Sect.
Yecheng believed that by following this lead, they could uncover the mastermind behind it all, and as for the 'God of War Festival,' he probably didn't need to continue participating.
However, just as Yecheng was about to leave the festival grounds, he encountered a female elf in the corridor of the arena who looked exactly like Alpha.
At first glance, Yecheng thought she was Alpha, but soon he noticed that while their appearances and auras were similar, this elf did not possess the power of Shadow or the aura of a 'Demon Possessed' individual.
Yecheng wondered if Alpha's face was popular in this world, like the main character of a certain anime with a silly hairdo, when the elf seemed to notice him as well.
As they brushed past each other, the scantily-clad elf suddenly lashed out, swiftly drawing an unusually long sword from her embrace.
Although she didn't exude killing intent, her sudden attack still managed to irritate Yecheng.
"Ding!"
As the elf's sword swept towards Yecheng, he drew the sheathed longsword from his waist and blocked her strike with the sheath.
"Although I've seen your face before, I'm quite certain we're meeting for the first time.
For a first encounter, I'd like to know why you've decided to attack me."
If the person who attacked him wore a black robe and was male, Yecheng would have likely cut him down already.
This wasn't a matter of personal preferences but a common trait among the sect's lackeys.
The elf, being an elf herself and bearing a resemblance to Alpha and Olivier, one of the Three Heroes, was likely a descendant of heroic bloodlines and might even be related to Alpha.
"You have a strong elven aura, so strong that I believe you are an elf.
But there are no male elves, and even if they were human hybrids, they would still possess some elven traits. Yet, you are a pure human."
The beautiful elf seemed to rarely speak so much at once, so after a brief pause, she continued, "In recent years, while I was searching for my sister’s daughter, I heard that there was an organization specifically targeting children from various races, using them for experiments..."
As she finished this sentence, her gaze turned extremely hostile when she looked at Night City again.
At first, she had only intended to test Night City, but now, her eyes were filled with killing intent when she looked at him.
Night City’s appearance was that of a human, but the aura he emitted was that of an elf.
It was already very clear that the human before her was one of the people from the organization she had heard about, the one that conducted experiments on her kin!
Beatrix would naturally show no mercy to anyone who harmed the children of her race!
When Night City understood the reason for the sudden attack, he was momentarily taken aback.
He himself had not felt the elf aura, and he wasn’t sure if it was something only his kin could sense.
However, if he had somehow absorbed the elf aura, it made sense, considering how much time he had spent with Alpha and the others, leaving behind traces of it was inevitable.
But the idea that his aura was as strong as that of an elf was something he found hard to understand.
After a moment of thought, Night City looked at Beatrix, who was glaring at him with killing intent, and then at the sheathed sword in his hand, and he had a pretty good idea what was going on.
"Although you might not believe me, I can assure you that I have nothing to do with the organization you mentioned.
In fact, to some extent, they could be considered my enemies.
As for the elf aura you mentioned, I think it might be because of this."
As he spoke, Night City inserted the sheathed sword into the ground in front of him. Then, under Beatrix’s shocked gaze, he slowly drew the Lake Holy Sword from its scabbard.
Night City had originally not wanted to flaunt the Lake Holy Sword in public, but he really didn’t have a suitable weapon at the moment.
With his increasing mana and physical fitness, even the best-quality swords couldn’t withstand his use.
The scabbard of the Lake Holy Sword had been inscribed with a magic array to conceal its mana, but Night City hadn’t expected it to still draw Beatrix’s attention.
According to legend, the Lake Holy Sword was a gift from the Lake Nymph to King Arthur, and there were also rumors that the sword itself was a nymph.
Why did Arthur’s body stop growing after he drew the sword? Could it be that at the moment he drew the sword, he was already being assimilated into an elf? (The above is purely speculation, please don’t take it too seriously (￣▽￣))
Moreover, Night City believed that the reason Beatrix mistook him for an elf wasn’t solely due to the Lake Holy Sword.
When he defeated one of the Three Heroes, Olivier, in the Holy Land, some of his soul fragments seemed to have entered his body.
Similarly, some of Aurora’s soul fragments had entered Sid’s body at the time.
Olivier was an elf hero, and with his soul fragments inside Night City, combined with his possession of the Lake Holy Sword, it wasn’t surprising that Beatrix would mistake him for an elf.
