"Oh, oh! I see!"
Hilulele, with a dazzling crown on her head that perfectly hid the large bump Aelita had caused with her staff, nodded seriously.
"So… this man, he's really not some wild man Ailili found during the days she was missing, right?"
"…"
"Idiot!"
Aelita yelled, fuming.
"I just talked for so long, and that's all you heard? As a Queen! You're completely derelict in your duties!"
"Also! Don't call me Ailili!"
Watching Aelita's face turn red with anger, Hilulele, unconcerned, giggled and snuggled closer to Aelita, clinging to her tightly.
"This is important too! Ailili's chastity must be protected by her Big Sister! Ailili disappeared for so long, Big Sister was so worried."
Big Sister?
Su Lin looked at the two with a strange expression.
The current Queen of the Elven Kingdom was Aelita's older sister? Aelita had never mentioned this.
Anyone else would probably want to tattoo "My sister is the Queen" on their face when they went out. Putting himself in her shoes, Su Lin would at least do that.
However… looking at their figures, Su Lin could understand Aelita's resentment.
The Elven Kingdom truly was a land of outstanding talents.
The two sisters, born at the same time, had completely different growth values.
Aelita absorbed the nutrients for Hilulele's height, and Hilulele absorbed the nutrients for Aelita's figure.
No wonder Aelita didn't like to mention she had a Queen sister. The grudge of stolen breasts was irreconcilable!
"Ailili, let Big Sister check!"
Hilulele's eyes sparkled with excitement as she hugged Aelita tightly.
"I told you not to call me that name!"
Aelita desperately pushed Hilulele's face away, with such force that the delicate features were distorted.
"Also! Don't touch me!"
"Big Sister is doing this for your own good!"
"I heard that innocent and pure maidens, if they stay with a man of unknown origin, can easily get an allergy, their stomachs will swell into a big bump, and ten months later, a crying gold-swallowing beast will be born."
"Idiot! The Elf Race are beings of nature!"
"But half-elves aren't! Ailili! Have you really lost your chastity?!"
"No, I haven't!!!"
After much commotion, it was the dignified Grandpa Lop who couldn't stand it anymore. He separated the two and sent everyone else away.
To prevent palace scandals from spreading throughout the Elven Kingdom… Looking at Hilulele, who still eagerly tried to pounce on Aelita from time to time, Lop sighed wearily.
"Your Majesty, please mind your image… Also, our guest is waiting. Please do not let him think that we of the Elf Race are an uncivilized barbarian tribe."
Su Lin waved his hand with a chuckle.
"It's alright, you can continue. I enjoy a good show."
"…"
It seemed this Dungeon Guide was a very eccentric person.
However, with that said, Hilulele finally returned to normal.
Gripping her thick staff, she sat on the chair, her expression changing as she displayed the Queen's majesty.
They say women are good at changing faces, and the Elf Race were no exception.
"Greetings, Guide from the Dungeon. I am Hilulele Evisista, Queen of the Elven Kingdom. Thank you for taking care of Aelita. The Elven Kingdom welcomes your arrival."
Quite regal, but… those short legs dangling endlessly from the chair, unable to reach the ground, made it very difficult to feel respect for the Queen.
"It's the MC Dungeon."
Su Lin corrected her with a smile.
"This Dungeon is called the MC Dungeon."
Hilulele looked puzzled but still nodded.
With her movement, the Verdan Forest once again experienced a noticeable tremor… This childlike Elven Queen had a remarkably voluptuous body.
Also, Ailili… Aelita?
Aelita's nickname also seemed quite suggestive.
What a pair of suggestive sisters.
"Su Lin, this is the Queen of our Elven Kingdom, and also… my sister. This is the Elder of our kingdom's Council of Sages…"
Aelita was about to introduce him, but Lop pushed up his glasses.
"When addressing a guest from afar, one should adhere to the etiquette and norms of self-introduction."
"Lop Myers, Grand Elder of the Elven Kingdom's Council of Sages, greets the esteemed Dungeon Guide, Sir Su Lin. I wish you a pleasant journey in the Elven Kingdom, and may nature protect you."
Su Lin felt a sudden surge of respect.
This old Elf, meticulously groomed from head to toe, could only be described by two words in Su Lin's eyes.
Dignified!
So dignified!
Su Lin was wondering how to show that he, too, could be a dignified person when Aelita eagerly looked at Lop.
"Grandpa Lop, why are you all here?"
Lop looked a bit helpless.
"Princess Aelita, you entered the MC Dungeon and did not return for several days, nor did you send any magical message. Her Majesty the Queen and everyone were very worried about you."
Earlier, Hilulele had been insistent on entering the Dungeon to search for Aelita, but Lop and the others had stopped her.
"Is that so… My magical messages couldn't leave the MC Dungeon?"
Aelita mused thoughtfully, considering how her magical power was suppressed… The MC Dungeon didn't seem very friendly to magic.
"In any case, thank you, Sir Su Lin, for taking care of Princess Aelita."
Lop began.
"Regarding your upcoming travels in the Elven Kingdom, the Elven Kingdom will provide you with every convenience."
"I will arrange for you to stay at the Verdan Home, specifically for honored guests of the Elven Kingdom. Furthermore, for both your safety and the safety of the Elven Kingdom, please allow me to assign a team of Royal Court Guards to accompany you."
"Please understand this point. The current situation in the Elven Kingdom is not entirely stable. Please forgive any inconvenience this may cause you. Do you have any other requests?"
Hearing this, Su Lin felt that if he still showed a bad attitude, he would be rude.
It was comfortable talking to a dignified person.
"I need some Job Change Cards, and also… if possible, I'd like to see the Elven Kingdom's books on magic and adventurers."
"Understood."
Lop nodded.
"I will arrange for someone to provide you with enough Job Change Cards. Additionally, you may freely view all books in the Royal Court Library, except for those in the restricted section."
"Furthermore, all your expenses in the Elven Kingdom will be borne by the Elven Kingdom. Do you have any other requests? We will do our best to meet your needs."
Su Lin thought for a moment, then said earnestly:
"Can the Royal Court Guards accompanying me all be female Elves?"
"You rascal!"
Aelita glared angrily at Su Lin.
The latter spread his hands.
"It's about empathy, seeing beautiful women makes me happy…"
Lop was silent for a moment, then nodded with a complicated expression.
"Very well, but before that, I must remind you… please respect the Elven Kingdom's custom of free love…"
"Don't worry!"
Su Lin patted his chest.
"I'm the biggest supporter of free love!"
If there wasn't free love, how could he love several people?
"Furthermore, to protect the kingdom's safety, there are many dangerous areas within and around the Elven Kingdom. For your safety, please do not explore them at will."
"Don't worry, Grandpa Lop, this guy is excessively strong."
Aelita pouted.
"He could probably use an adult dragon as a punching bag."
Lop understood that Aelita was reminding him that Su Lin was very strong, likely a formidable warrior?
But… if he had the strength to use an adult dragon as a punching bag, why would he choose to become a mage?
Lop felt a sense of déjà vu. He quietly glanced at Hilulele, who was inexplicably looking at Su Lin with shining eyes, and Lop understood.
Another genius who wasted his talent and neglected his proper duties!
"Even so, please do not enter dangerous areas without permission."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in those. If possible, I'll just go and camp out in the library right now."
Su Lin said with a serious expression.
"I, for one, love reading the most."
There's nothing wrong with loving to read.
The more explicit, the more he loved to read!
…A short while later, Aelita and the others led Su Lin back to the Royal Court.
After Lop settled Su Lin in and gave him a stack of Job Change Cards, he followed Hilulele and Aelita towards the palace.
Gazing at the retreating figures of the three, Su Lin narrowed his eyes slightly.
For now, the Elven Kingdom did seem quite good.
However… he still needed to observe further.
The Elven Kingdom needed to show more sincerity and recognize more of the opportunities within the MC Dungeon. He also needed to confirm the controllability of the Elven Kingdom.
After all, Su Lin was not a Dungeon Guide in the true sense. He had the right and the qualification to choose which forces could develop the MC Dungeon.
There was only one standard: obedience, obedience to him!
But these matters depended on how Aelita and Hilulele discussed them.
Now, he first needed to visit the Elven Kingdom's library, examine the professional systems of the Aetherium Continent, and select a few magic books.
Then… he would change his job to a mage and become an elegant yet cunning long-range damage dealer!
Accompanied by ten delightful female Royal Court Guards, Su Lin leisurely entered the library.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen any other races besides the Elf Race here, which meant… he, Su Lin, had become the most striking and eye-catching individual in the Elven Kingdom… On the other side.
Aelita followed Hilulele and Lop back into the palace, dismissing all surrounding maids and guards.
Just as Hilulele and Lop were about to thoroughly question Aelita about her experiences over the past few days, the situation in the MC Dungeon, and information about Su Lin, that unique Dungeon Guide… the assertive Aelita gave them no such opportunity.
Standing in the empty palace hall, Aelita, with a resolute expression, made a radical statement that greatly astonished Hilulele and Lop.
"Your Majesty, Grand Elder Lop!"
"This Queen has a bold proposal!"
"Recall all development teams from the Elf Dungeon, and based on the existing teams, expand their numbers tenfold and deploy them into the MC Dungeon!"
"The Elven Kingdom must pour all its focus into the exploration and development of the MC Dungeon!"
"For the glory of the Elf Race!"
"The MC Dungeon will surely make the Elven Kingdom great again!"
