Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1648 - 1451: An Unwelcome Request (Two in One)_2

"How could I forget, is that guardian still at Black Abyss Lake?"

"Long gone, ever since you got your hands on the Black Abyss Lake treasure, that guardian had nothing left to guard. The Elf Queen transferred him, though I don’t actually know where to."

Banana was getting more and more amused as he spoke, and eventually he burst out laughing, "Hahaha, only you could make an NPC redundant!"

"Stop talking nonsense, don’t let that BOSS hear you. If he finds out I stole the treasure, he’ll definitely fight me to the death!"

Su Ran glanced around nervously, and only after ensuring there was nothing unusual did he relax.

"Hey, got it, got it. This Black Abyss Lake has lost all its value, they’ve even removed the protective array. No need to waste time here, let’s go take care of real business."

Banana led the way, bypassing Black Abyss Lake, heading toward the Sky-reaching Vine. They joked and laughed along the way as if they were on a sightseeing tour, which eased Su Ran’s tense mood.

After about twenty minutes, Su Ran once again entered the core area of the Elf Forest, within the territory of the Sky-reaching Vine.

"Swoosh, swoosh."

A slender vine reached down, swaying happily around Su Ran. It seemed the Sky-reaching Vine hadn’t forgotten him despite the passage of time, and he understood it wasn’t due to his significance, but rather the remarkable effect of the monkey wine that left a lasting impression on the vine.

"Hey, it sure is different being an envoy; even the Sky-reaching Vine is courteous to you. Makes one jealous!"

Banana had never received such high treatment, which left him a bit envious. Why was the gap between players so big?

"Alright, stop complaining. Let’s go to the palace together."

With the help of the Sky-reaching Vine, Su Ran and Banana easily arrived at the Elf Palace, unexpectedly discovering Xue Wuqing’s presence. At this moment, she was chatting with the Fire Spirit Ling Wei, laughter occasionally emanating from them and creating a harmonious atmosphere.

"Wu Qing, Ling Wei, long time no see!"

Banana quickly walked over and greeted them familiarly, "What are you two chatting about? Let me join in and have some fun too."

"Oh? Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained? What brings you here?"

The two women heard him and then noticed the two approaching. Upon seeing Su Ran behind Banana, they promptly ignored Banana, focusing all their attention on Su Ran.

However, Xue Wuqing’s surprise carried a hint of delight, while Ling Wei appeared frustrated and puffed out her cheeks. The person she least wanted to see was this Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained!

"Hey, Wu Qing, why are you like this? I greeted you first, and now you’re treating me like air?"

Banana grumbled dejectedly, though he was used to it. After all, his presence wasn’t particularly strong.

"I’m here for a quest. Where’s Her Majesty? I don’t see her around."

Su Ran walked over with a smile, scanned the hall without finding a trace of the Elf Queen. As for the obvious hostility from Ling Wei, he simply ignored it, not taking it to heart at all.

"Her Majesty is in her chamber. I’ll go call her out."

Xue Wuqing said with a smile, turning to head towards the Elf Queen’s chamber.

"Hey, Sister Wuqing, you forgot what Her Majesty said? She’s not to be disturbed by anyone!"

Ling Wei quickly flew in front of Xue Wuqing, trying to stop her.

"I remember, but Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained isn’t a person, he’s a skeleton. You haven’t forgotten that, right?"

Xue Wuqing returned her smile, "Ling Wei, don’t be difficult. Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained is our elf tribe’s envoy, and we cannot neglect him."

"Hmph!"

Ling Wei huffed and flew aside, turning her back on Su Ran, sulking.

"Brother, what did you do to upset her back then? She’s still holding a grudge?"

Banana chuckled and said, "Honestly, did you really harass her?"

"How could I? Even if my hormones were raging, I wouldn’t harass an NPC. Let bygones be bygones. If she wants to be mad, what can I do?"

Su Ran smiled wryly, unable to help but sigh inwardly. A woman sure can hold grudges! It seems it’s better to offend a villain than a woman, even if she’s just an NPC...

"That makes sense. If you really harassed a female NPC, the system would probably punish you on the spot. In serious cases, your character would be deleted!"

Banana couldn’t figure out what was going wrong, so he decided to stop thinking about it, just waiting for the Elf Queen to arrive.

Luckily, the Elf Queen didn’t keep Su Ran waiting long; she appeared in the hall in less than three minutes.

"Skeleton Warrior, welcome to the Elf Palace as a guest."

The Elf Queen spoke with a kind tone, "Thanks to the fire seeds you sent in time, the elf tribe was spared the Ghost Clan’s curse. This kindness will never be forgotten by us elves."

"Your majesty, you’re too kind. It’s what I should do. No need to keep thinking about it."

Hearing this, Su Ran’s spirits soared. As long as the Elf Queen still treasured past favors, the upcoming task would be much easier. He continued, "Your majesty, I’m here with a humble request."

"Please speak, warrior."

"I wish to go to the elf life force again and help unseal my Ice Pearl. I told you about this last time, but the transmission array was closed. Now that the time has come, I hope for your approval."

"So that’s it. Time flies, and it’s been so long in a blink. Alright, I will help you open the transmission array, but whether you can unseal the Ice Pearl depends on your own fate."

The Elf Queen showed no resistance, "Warrior, please follow me."

"Please wait, your majesty. There’s one more small matter I need your help with..."

Su Ran hadn’t finished speaking before Ling Wei suddenly interrupted.

"Stupid skeleton, don’t be so shameless. How can you trouble Her Majesty with everything? Do you really think you’re one of us? Do you believe I can blast you out?"

"Nonsense!"

The Elf Queen looked displeased and scolded Ling Wei, "Such poor manners—you’re disgracing the elf tribe!"

"Your majesty, please don’t mind Ling Wei. She’s still a child."

Su Ran hurried to smooth things over, intending to show good will to Ling Wei, but unfortunately, his attempt backfired. Her expression changed instantly.

"Stupid skeleton, you’re the child; your whole family are children!"

Ling Wei trembled with anger, clearly insulted by the word "child."

"Ling Wei, can’t you control your temper? Quickly apologize to Skeleton Warrior and stop being petty!"

Seeing a trace of anger on the Elf Queen’s face, Xue Wuqing quickly pulled Ling Wei, hoping she’d understand her intentions.

"Hmph!"

Ling Wei stubbornly turned her head away, saying nothing further.

"Skeleton Warrior, lack of strict upbringing, forgive us for the rudeness."

The Elf Queen was quite troubled by Ling Wei’s temperament. Seeing that she’d somewhat reined it in, she let it slide, asking, "What do you need? Speak freely without hesitation."

"Your Majesty, I want an unbound Teleportation Scroll."

Su Ran hadn’t forgotten about Qing Qi’s matter and brought it up while the Elf Queen was in a relatively good mood.

"Impossible."

The Elf Queen declined right away, "Our Elf Forest remains secluded from the world. We cannot let the Teleportation Scrolls circulate, inviting trouble, the consequences of which would be unimaginable!"

"Asking too much and being refused is what you deserve!"

Ling Wei said gloatingly, curious to see how Su Ran would smooth things over. If he were expelled, that would be even better!

"Your Majesty, you might have misunderstood. I am doing this at someone’s behest."

Su Ran, after contemplating for a moment, sincerely continued, "I met an elf on the God-Demon Continent. She wants to return to the elf tribe but can’t find a way to get back to the Elf Forest. Out of humanitarian concern, I planned to help her, but if you disagree, let’s forget it. Consider it not mentioned."

"An elf outside the tribe? Is this true?"

The Elf Queen was instantly intrigued and asked repeatedly, "Male or female?"

"Of course, she’s female. If it were a male elf, would he be so kind?"

Banana mumbled softly to himself, acting smart.

"..."

To this, Su Ran found himself speechless.
