The Demonic Blood Pearl was a condensation of demonic energy. It could be reverted to its demonic form through special methods. Demonic energy was inherently negative energy, prolonged exposure to which could drive people insane, and even short-term exposure could cause dizziness and irritability.

Throwing this thing into the banquet hall would be a perfect biochemical weapon, enough to condense for three days without dispersing.

“Not bad, this should greatly enhance the realism.” Laphia nodded approvingly. “After everything is over, I will also commission the High Priest to coordinate public opinion.”

Ji Chen’s eyes brightened, instantly understanding.

The Elven High Priest acted as a conduit for divine prophecies. If, following the “demon” assault on the gathering, the mother goddess delivered a prophecy in a timely manner, it would serve as a flawless strategy to sway public opinion.

In this way, it was likely that no matter what, those elven nobles and lords would choose to believe in this fact.

Ji Chen turned around, patting Lainekel’s shoulder with a solemn tone.

“The success or failure of this matter lies entirely with you. The fate of the world rests in your hands, Sir Lainekel.”

Lainckel’s expression immediately became solemn, nodding hastily. “Rest assured, I will definitely complete this mission perfectly, and I will not allow failure!”

“With me here, you will surely not fail.”

The people present stiffened, their eyes instantly vigilant as they looked towards a stranger elven woman in mage robes standing on the garden path not far away.

Just as the others were guessing who this elven woman might be and how she came here, they heard Ji Chen say a sentence.

“Lady Elin, long time no see.”

They were stunned, Elin?

Laphia couldn’t help but furrow her brow. She seemed to have heard this name somewhere before. Suddenly, a memory surged like a tide, causing her calm demeanor to change suddenly.

“Ancestor?”

Elin looked at Laphia affectionately. “Is this how my descendants greet me? You look good, almost resembling an empress. Not bad at all, showing a bit of the imperial demeanor.”

Laphia quickly stood up, speaking with respectful tone, “How dare I claim to be an empress in front of my ancestor? When you were in power, you led the empire to flourish, campaigning in the south and battling in the north, driving the trolls to the ends of the earth, expelling the evil orcs to the wilderness, seizing the land vital for our survival as elves. Your contributions were immense, and I have always greatly admired you.”

Elin waved her hand nonchalantly. “Those are all old stories now. Since you have been entrusted with the hopes of many and ascended to become a queen, naturally, you also have exceptional qualities.”

Although she said so, from Elin’s gaze, one could tell that she was quite pleased, especially since even thousands of years later, a descendant still remembers her.

Ji Chen was somewhat surprised. It turned out that Elin had once been a generation of Elven Empress, something she had never mentioned before.

Laphia said, “Ancestor, the records show that thousands of years ago, after you abdicated the throne of empress, you went out to travel the world. But after leaving, you never came back. Did something happen during that time?”

Elin’s face stiffened. Could she really say that she was captured halfway by a perverted lich and then imprisoned for thousands of years like an animal? That would be too embarrassing for the elves.

This thousands-year-old epic-tier elf powerhouse was now facing one of the few embarrassing and difficult moments in her life, even more nervous than facing those epic-tier enemies.

She couldn’t afford to lose face in front of a descendant who admired her.

“Something happened during that time… But just a few months ago, this Lord of Glory helped me out of trouble, allowing me to come back and take a look.”

Elin briefly explained in a tactful manner. Seeing this, Laphia understood and stopped asking further questions, turning to say,

“Speaking of which, it was Lord Ji Chen who mentioned your name to me, which made me aware that you are still active in the world.”

Ji Chen interjected at the right moment, “I only mentioned Lady Elin’s surname casually to Sir Miligas. I didn’t expect Sir Miligas to pass it on to Your Majesty with such a sense of responsibility.”

Miligas bowed nervously. “It’s my duty, nothing more.”

Truth be told, Miligas felt a little overwhelmed at the moment. Everyone else in the room, whether human or elf, seemed to wield significant power or held prestigious positions. As a simple civilian diplomat, he was likely the least influential person present, especially standing before an ancient empress who appeared eternally youthful, as if she could see right through the entire elven race.

“Ambassador Miligas has achieved quite a bit during his years as an ambassador, suppressing the mountain trolls in the Alvin Mountains, safeguarding the interests of the empire in the Maple Principality, and recently bringing back thousands of our people who were stranded in the frozen wilderness. Hmm, I think it’s time for you to return to the Holy City and take on a more important position.”

Miligas’s face lit up with joy for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, respectfully bowing and saying, “Thank you for Your Majesty’s kindness!”

Ji Chen smiled at this and redirected the conversation, “Lady Elin, what did you mean just now?”

Elin glanced at the pavilion, which was now fully occupied. Miligas hesitated for a moment, then tactfully made room. “Please, have a seat.”

Elin nodded in satisfaction and took her seat. “I am aware of the demon invasion you mentioned earlier, and I understand your plan. If there is a need to mobilize, I will personally take action.

Moreover, there are some pests within the empire that need to be dealt with, so it’s a good opportunity..”
