Hail the King,Chapter 603: Royal Bloodline of the Elves - Read free novels online

After hearing what one of the maids said, the blond young man’s smile didn’t die down.

He turned around and said something with that mysterious and ear-pleasing language in a gentle tone, and the two maids in the stone house got quiet; it seemed like they weren’t going to continue dissuading.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, five sharp, ear-piercing noises sounded.

Five green arrows flew out of the stone house and turned into five phantoms.

Tud! Tud! Tud! Tud! Tud!!!!!!

The five arrows stabbed into the ground and formed a perfect pentagram; the distances between the arrows were exact, and it felt like someone measured the locations ahead of time. Soon, streaks of bright green energies floated out of the arrows quietly and sunk into the ground like rainwater.

Fei clearly sensed that a mystic wood-elemental magic energy connected the air in the surroundings with the ground, and it continued to spiral and gradually isolated all auras and senses in the area.

It was a magical wood-elemental magic array.

It was formed by using magic arrows, and it was unique and eye-opening for Fei.

Clearly, the two maids in the stone house were still worried and used this rare arrow array formation to block off the surroundings, preventing anyone else from hearing the conversation between Fei and this blond young man.

“Ok, we can begin now. My name is Akinfeev, Sid Akinfeev. I’m the descendant of a long-lost race, the elves,” this blond young man said casually as he looked at the magic array that enveloped him as well as the sun that was about to rise from the eastern sky.

This blond young man was very upfront, and he told Fei, who was pretty much a stranger to him, the biggest secret without hesitation.

It showed 100% trust and faith!

Akinfeev didn’t know why he felt so safe around Fei, but the unique and special bond between people was magical.

“Elves!” Fei nodded; his estimation wasn’t wrong.

In the legends on the Azeroth Continent, both elves and dwarfs were races that lived in the Mythical Era, and they were already extinct nowadays. It was quite surprising that the mysterious bloodline of elves got extended to the current day.

In fact, Fei discovered hints and clues as soon as he stepped into this small garden.

The wood elements were a lot more abundant in this place compared to anywhere else, and the plants such as flowers, grasses, and vines were all livelier. In addition, there were green light dots that were condensed life energies, and the ears of this blond young man and his maids were a lot pointier.

Also, Fei witnessed the awesome archery skills that the two maids showcased when they created an array with arrows……

All of those led Fei to believe that the blond young man in front of him was connected to the elves in the legends.

However, this guess was way too bizarre. After all, everyone on the continent agreed that the elves all died in the Mythical Era and were now extinct. Also, Fei read from the bloody diary of the emperor of the dwarfs, Gerard Bill, that Sid Empire of the elves got conquered by the Pseudo Gods, so he wasn’t too confident in his own judgment.

However, when Akinfeev told Fei this, the king instantly believed him.

It was an instinct, a trust between friends.

Suddenly, Fei recalled that in the diary of Gerard Bill, he mentioned that after the Sid Empire of the elves got conquered, a few of the royal members escaped and went to the empire of giants. However, there were no more recordings of them after the empire of giants were destroy by the Pseudo Gods as well. From the current information, it seemed like they survived that grand massacre and lived on.

It had been ages since the elves were prospering, but Akinfeev in front of him had the rare pointy ears that was a key feature of the elves as well as blond hair that only the elves with royal bloodline could have. It was clear that his bloodline was very pure; otherwise, the atavism wouldn’t be this distinct on him.

Now, Fei was sure that Akinfeev was of royal descendent of the elves.

It was very likely that his ancestors were the ones who successfully escaped from the blades of the Pseudo Gods.

“Your Majesty, it seems like you are not surprised at all,” Akinfeev asked; he was quite curious about Fei’s calm demeanor.

“I already somewhat guessed it.” Fei didn’t try to hide it. He laughed and said, “The first time I saw you was when the black armored enemies were defeat, and Priest Zola and Holy Knight Luciano came back to Chambord. You were on the last carriage in that caravan, and I saw you when you lightly showed yourself through the window. I was curious back then, and I thought you were the secret love child of a big figure in the Holy Church. I didn’t expect you to be the descendant of the elves in the legends.”

“Back then, Your Majesty was heroic and convinced Zola and Luciano with only a few words; I admire you a lot!”

The smile on Akinfeev’s face always seemed pure and real. As he lightly waved, two leaves on a vine that was climbing on the wall suddenly rolled up themselves and turned into the shape of cups. Then, another vine lightly shivered, creating drips of morning dew out of nowhere. Then, these drips of morning dew slid down the leaves and fell into the green cups, soon filling them up.

As if they had minds of their own, the vines extended outward and stopped when the two cups were in front of the two people.

Fei didn’t hesitate to take the cup and chugged it down. He instantly felt very refreshed, and he felt like all the pores on his body opened. As he moaned slightly, he suddenly thought of a legend and laughed, “I heard that [Dew of Elves] is a treasure that even the gods desire in the legends. I didn’t think I would be lucky enough to enjoy it today.”

“Your Majesty, you are teasing. This is only a little technique that we elves are good at. These drips of morning dew are only wood elements that had been absorbed and condensed by these plants for a year. Drinking it will make you feel refreshed, and it is far from the real [Dew of Elves]. The golden age of the elves is long gone, and no one can create [Dew of Elves] anymore in this world.” A sad expression appeared on Akinfeev’s face when he said that.

It was the pain that this blond young man felt after his bloodline woke up, and he could never forget the loss of his race.

After a moment of pause, the smile was restored on Akinfeev’s face. He added, “Your Majesty’s instinct is quite sharp; I’m indeed a secret love child. There was nothing unique about me when I was young, but the power of my elf bloodline started acting up once I turned 15 years old. My body underwent some transformations, and some people detected it.”

Akinfeev didn’t try to hide his background, and his expression didn’t change when he admitted that he was a secret love child.

Fei nodded and frowned. “However, it doesn’t seem like a good thing for you.”

Akinfeev nodded and replied, “You are right. In the legends, the elves were affiliated with the demons who were the nemeses of the gods, and the gods are worshipped by the Holy Church. Therefore, if the Holy Church discovers my real identity, I would be dead.”

Fei nodded and waited patiently for Akinfeev to continue.

“However, my father is influential and has some power. He is nice to me, and he switched my identity before the catastrophe struck and made my old identity disappear. I turned into a devoted priest-in-training and traveled around the continent. In the end, I came to the most northern empire, Zenit, and arrived at Chambord after following Priest Zola who is weak and insignificant in the Holy Church.” Akinfeev was very brief and concise with his explanation, but Fei was able to sense the great danger and threats behind those words. A young man had to leave his home and wander around homelessly in order to escape from tragedy, and who knew how long of a distance he traveled.

“Your father is quite brave. The most dangerous place is the safest place. By staying in the back garden of the church, no one would doubt your identity. However, it seems like you aren’t at Chambord just to try to escape the tragedy, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have tried to sneak into the back mountain of Chambord.” Fei didn’t hide around the bush and asked the tough question.
