Chapter 1650: Chapter 1452: The Gains of Forming an Alliance (Two-in-One)_2

However, trying to form an alliance with the Elf Race over a mere patch of land—this is just too unreasonable. If it were the Demon Race or even the Skeleton Clan approaching, she would gladly agree, but as for this Skeleton Lord, it’s better to forget it.

"Skeleton Warrior, I didn’t mean to belittle you. The God-Demon Continent has long been engulfed in wars, making territorial value extraordinarily high and turning it into a source of bloodshed. If your domain wishes to survive in the long term, you must develop it to the scale of the Human Race’s Imperial City to ensure its self-defense!"

The Elf Queen conveyed her concerns. Territory was all well and good, but if it was taken away, everything would turn to dust!

"Your Majesty, there’s no need to worry about this. My domain’s defenses are definitely not inferior to those of the Human Race’s Imperial City!"

Su Ran confidently explained, "First, my domain is built on the foundation of the Demon World’s Demonic Treasure Mountain, which is easy to defend but hard to attack. Encircled below is the Dark Swamp guarded by the sea overlord, the Great White Shark. Additionally, I have the Super Magical Beast, the Five-clawed Bone Dragon King, as the Guardian Beast. On top of that, there’s the Guardian Thunder Tower, the Celestial Realm’s Mountain Suppression Stone, the Six-element Magnetic Core Array, and the Demon-sealing Platform as supports. All of these are leagues ahead of the Imperial City!"

"What?"

Upon hearing Su Ran’s words, the Elf Queen first revealed a look of astonishment before breaking into a faint cold smile. "Skeleton Warrior, quite the bold claims you’ve made. Even I almost believed them. Leaving aside the Five-clawed Bone Dragon King as a Super Magical Beast for now, just the Celestial Realm’s treasure, the Mountain Suppression Stone, is something you absolutely couldn’t have obtained!"

"Your Majesty, but what if I did obtain it?"

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, his expression playful yet not angered by the Elf Queen’s doubts.

"If you obtained it? Hahaha, what a joke. It seems you don’t know the history of the God-Demon Continent at all. Back in the day, the Demon Race launched countless attacks on the Divine Domain Main City to seize the Mountain Suppression Stone. The scenes were so tragic that describing them as rivers of blood wouldn’t be an exaggeration!"

The Elf Queen began recounting the history of the battles between gods and demons. Everyone listened attentively, their expressions as serious as could be. Such intricate insider stories were rare—miss them, and there’d be no second chance!

"In the end, the Demon Race managed a pyrrhic victory and blasted through the gates of the Divine Domain Main City. Unfortunately, no matter what they tried, the Mountain Suppression Stone remained entirely immovable. And yet you, a mere minor lord, dare to spout such wild boasts? Do you think I’m that easily fooled?"

At this point, the Elf Queen’s impression of Su Ran plummeted. Her goodwill toward him evaporated rapidly, and all the advantages he had painstakingly built up dissolved into nothing.

"Overturning Water Bro, what’s up with you? You even dare deceive the Queen? Couldn’t you come up with a random excuse? Nope, you had to make up something she knows about. Great, now you’ve done it—good luck trying to fix this mess!"

After hearing the Elf Queen’s explanation, Banana grew both anxious and angry. Forming an alliance was undoubtedly good, but using such underhanded tactics? That’s just awful!

Seeing the Queen’s icy demeanor, Banana felt a chill in his heart. If this remark completely offended the Elf Queen, not only would forming an alliance be impossible, but the chance to access the Elf lifeline might also be ruined!

Even Xue Wuqing looked visibly anxious, though she had no way of helping Su Ran and could only fret inwardly.

At that moment, the Fire Spirit Ling Wei flew back to the palace. Unaware of the events that had just transpired, she quickly noticed the tense atmosphere. Terrified, she dared not take a deep breath and instead silently hid behind Xue Wuqing, curiously observing everyone present.

"Your Majesty, I truly didn’t deceive you. As for the Mountain Suppression Stone, it was gifted to me by someone from the God Race. Ahem, do you believe me?"

Su Ran could hardly suppress his frustration. In today’s world, truth itself was doubted. It truly was hard for good people to make their case!

"The more you say, the more ridiculous this gets!"

The Elf Queen laughed angrily, her expression stern. "Skeleton Warrior, considering your contributions to the Elf Race, I’ll let this slip for now. Today I’m a bit fatigued and need to retire. Please see yourself out."

"What?"

Only now did Ling Wei grasp the situation. Smirking playfully, she made a face at Su Ran before hurrying to the Elf Queen’s side. "Your Majesty, let me accompany you back—there’s no need to deal with this shameless, despicable skeleton. Kick him out of the palace so he doesn’t sully your sight!"

"Ling Wei, stop being ridiculous—come back here!"

Xue Wuqing grabbed Ling Wei’s wing and pulled her back, scolding, "I see you just love stirring up trouble. Stay put and behave yourself; you’re not going anywhere!"

"Sister Wuqing, that sleazy skeleton’s true colors are already exposed. How could you still side with him!"

Ling Wei struggled while suspended in midair but couldn’t escape Xue Wuqing’s grasp, leaving her at the older woman’s mercy.

"Relax, let Overturning Water finish explaining."

Xue Wuqing’s gaze never left Su Ran, eager to see how he would resolve the situation.

"Your Majesty, I swear upon the supreme rules: if any part of my claim is false, may lightning strike me down!"

Su Ran raised his arm and made a solemn oath, his demeanor utterly serious.

He had no other choice. These NPCs loved such dramatic proclamations. As long as someone dared invoke the system’s rules, they couldn’t help but believe. To them, no matter their rank, the supreme rules were sacrosanct!

"What?!"

The Elf Queen’s expression dramatically changed, and she reflexively glanced at the ceiling, yet no lightning descended. This meant the Skeleton’s claims were wholly true!

"Overturning Water Bro, you’re something else to dare such a poisonous oath. Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Banana, startled, moved a bit further away from Su Ran, fearful of collateral damage if divine lightning came crashing down. Yet after some time passed and no lightning appeared, he was stunned and began doubting the situation.

"Skeleton Warrior, your courage and daring have impressed me. It seems your words are indeed true, and I have wronged you."

The Elf Queen smiled at Su Ran, her goodwill not only restored but soaring higher than ever.

"Your Majesty, there’s no need for such formalities. I admit my domain is somewhat unconventional—even I feel it’s unbelievable—so how could you not doubt me."

Su Ran chuckled heartily, then asked, "As for the alliance—what do you think?"

"You are the Elf Race’s ambassador. Forming an alliance with you is only fitting. Here, take this Elf Insignia. Embed it into the altar, and the pact will be sealed."

It was as though the Elf Queen suddenly became a different person, readily agreeing and forgetting the earlier misunderstanding entirely.

"Your Majesty, I choose to go to Overturning Water Bro’s domain to safeguard this precious Elf Insignia!"

Banana seized the opportunity, and his reasoning was foolproof.

"Granted!"

The Elf Queen immediately decided, "Banana, take 3,000 elves and assist the Skeleton Warrior!"

"Ahaha, could this day get any better?"

Upon hearing about the 3,000 elves, Banana became ecstatic. This was the first time the Queen had been so generous with him—it felt like winning the lottery!

"Your Majesty, I too wish to venture into the God-Demon Continent, gain valuable experience, and someday repay the Elf Race for raising me."

Su Ran was taken aback when Xue Wuqing also expressed her desire to settle in his domain. Her decision was truly an unexpected surprise!

With Banana, Xue Wuqing, and 3,000 soldiers joining, could the domain’s prosperity be anything less than inevitable?

"Little Qing, it’s time for you to explore the outside world. However, you must promise me one thing."

The Elf Queen glanced at Ling Wei beside Xue Wuqing and continued, "Ling Wei is impulsive and needs to endure some hardships in the God-Demon Continent. I’ll entrust her to you—I trust you will take care of her."

"Your Majesty, I’ve stated countless times: I am not a child!"

Ling Wei jumped up in frustration, but her protest amounted to nothing. Sulking, she then brightened up and exclaimed, "I’ll accompany Sister Wuqing to the Skeleton’s domain. I must find out if his claims are true or not!"

"You’re most welcome."

Su Ran could barely contain his joy. This journey to the Elf Palace had paid off handsomely, bringing incredible rewards!

"Skeleton Warrior, you’ve seen the Elf Race’s sincerity. If the Ghost Clan ever returns, you mustn’t stand idly by!"

The Elf Queen reminded him, then said, "Follow me. I’ll activate the ancient teleportation array for you. Make good use of this opportunity; don’t squander it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gracious help."

The teleportation array signified the lifeline of the elves and hinted at the unlocking of the Ice Pearl’s powers. Su Ran’s heart brimmed with anticipation.
