The victory feast lasted until late into the night, though the nights in the Elven Kingdom are quite long.
Therefore, this place is bright for most of the day, and there are hardly any seasonal changes throughout the year.
In contrast, the Dark Elves inhabit Svartalfheim, also known as the Land of Mists, a place of perpetual darkness.
There, darkness permanently shrouds the land, and even the Sun is obscured by some force.
However, compared to the ugly Dark Elves who constantly threaten to plunge the entire Universe into Eternal darkness, these delicate and kind Little Elves are clearly more popular.
It must be said that while the special wine of the Elves is indeed exquisitely delicious, it has more kick than Asgard's pure spirits.
Even Shen Mu, a Dragon with strong resistance to intoxication, felt a slight tipsiness.
He and Thor, along with the group of Skrulls refugees, fell asleep on the ground after getting drunk.
Most of the Little Elves slept around Shen Mu, their bodies supported by flowers that rose out of thin air.
When the Little Elves woke up and left, the flowers did not disappear, so when Shen Mu woke up, he found himself in a sea of flowers.
The Skrulls had already woken up, as they hadn't drunk much, and were now repairing their spaceship.
He gently nudged the still groggy Thor awake with his tail.
"What is it, Shen?"
Thor rubbed his eyes and asked.
"Hmm! I just wanted to make sure you hadn't drunk yourself to death."
Shen Mu couldn't help but tell him a bad joke.
"Hey! Shen, I am Thor, the God of Thunder, with the power of lightning flowing through my veins. How could I possibly die from a few drinks?"
Thor stood up, patting his chest as he spoke.
"But the Elven wine truly is intoxicating!"
Thinking of the delicious wine from last night, Thor couldn't help but sigh and smack his lips.
Combat and drinking, these are the romantic traits ingrained in the bones of Asgardian.
"Your Excellency Dragon, Your Highness Thor, you have awoken!"
At this moment, Innis flew over and greeted them with a smile.
"Innis, your wine is truly the best in all Nine Realms."
Thor did not hold back his praise.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness Thor. If you like it, you may take some with you when you leave."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Thor's face became irrepressible!
"Innis, since the invaders have been dealt with, we are now preparing to return to Asgard!"
"Please inform the Skrulls to gather in the open space ahead!"
Although the Elven Kingdom is beautiful, Odin is currently in slumber, and Asgard needs him, its Prince.
So, they could not stay any longer!
"Your Highness Thor, are you leaving now?"
Innis asked with a somewhat troubled expression.
"Innis, do you still have some difficult matter to resolve?"
Thor noticed Innis's uneasy expression and immediately asked.
"No, it's that the Elder wishes to meet Your Excellency Dragon."
Upon hearing that the matter involved him, Shen Mu became interested.
"Innis, why does your Elder wish to meet me?"
Shen Mu asked with some curiosity.
"Your Excellency Dragon, I do not know the reason. The Elder has not met outsiders for many years!"
"The last time she met someone was over five hundred years ago when His Majesty Odin arrived. Since then, the Elder has resided in the God Tree Palace and has not emerged."
"So I also do not know why the Elder would propose to meet Your Excellency Dragon."
Hearing Innis say this, Shen Mu decided to meet this so-called Elder and see what she was up to.
"Thor, you can take those Skrulls refugees back to Asgard first."
"After I meet the Elder, I will ask Heimdall to pick me up again."
Shen Mu turned his head and told Thor his decision.
"Alright then, Shen, we'll head back first! I'll tell Heimdall to watch out for your summons."
Thor didn't hesitate; he walked out directly, raised Mjolnir, and loudly called Heimdall's name.
Immediately, a huge rainbow pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping everyone.
Then they were instantly teleported away, leaving only a runic mark representing Asgard on the ground.
And he had forgotten to bring the Elven wine he was so fond of!
At this moment, Shen Mu turned his head and said to the Elf beside him: "Innis, let's go! Take me to see your Elder."
"Your Excellency Dragon, please follow me."
Innis led Shen Mu to a giant ancient tree.
The tree's drooping branches intertwined to form a door-like frame, with a silvery glow shimmering within the entrance.
Around the door, there were also several slightly larger Elves standing guard.
"Sister Innis, you've brought Your Excellency Dragon!"
The Little Elves joyfully circled Innis and Shen Mu, then tilted their heads to look at Shen Mu.
This scene almost made Shen Mu lose his composure, overwhelmed by their cuteness, but to maintain his image as a Dragon, Shen Mu still had to pretend to be very calm.
"Alright, don't crowd around here anymore, return to your posts!"
As Innis's words fell, these Little Elves obediently flew away!
"Your Excellency Dragon, you only need to pass through this tree-door to reach the temple and meet the Elder!"
Innis pointed at the door and said to Shen Mu.
Hearing this, Shen Mu didn't hesitate and directly stepped through the door.
A flash of light passed, and Shen Mu immediately felt a pull on his body; the next moment, space instantly shifted.
Then, what greeted Shen Mu's eyes was a magnificent palace, and a tall female figure in a White robe stood with her back to him.
That figure had the normal height of a female in the Universe, appearing quite different from the miniature Little Elves outside.
Before Shen Mu could speak, the figure opposite had already turned around and walked towards Shen Mu.
In an instant, Shen Mu, seeing this Elven Elder, couldn't help but stare in a daze.
The Elven Elder opposite had long, silver-white hair that cascaded like a waterfall from her shoulders to her heels, skin as lustrous as jade, delicate pink lips, two pointed ears, all perfectly complementing a face that could be called flawless—this was perhaps the most perfect female Shen Mu had ever seen in his two lives!
Most captivating were her pair of black eyes, possessing a depth like the starry sky, drawing one in.
Seeing Shen Mu's somewhat stunned gaze, a soft, smiling glint flashed in the Elder's eyes, and then she spoke to Shen Mu:
"This palace has not had a guest for several hundred years; the last one to arrive was Odin. Welcome, Your Excellency Dragon, from beyond destiny."
