Chapter 284 - 257: Elf Queen (Part 2)
For example, towering trees reaching into the clouds, streams flowing through the mountains, majestic waterfalls, a wide variety of flowers and plants, the first wave of beautiful elves stopping us for inspection, the second wave of beautiful elves stopping us for inspection, the third wave of beautiful elves stopping us for inspection...
The Elf Acropolis is vast, with all trades and professions thriving immensely, and such prosperity naturally brings a massive flow of visitors.
So, other aspects of the city pose no issues, except for one rather troublesome aspect, which is accommodations.
After Lynn and Natasha entered the city, they visited more than a dozen hotels and inns, only to find all of them overcrowded. Forget about a private single room; even in a small room with ten beds—divided into top bunk, middle-top, middle, middle-bottom, and bottom bunk—none were available.
Lynn came with his wife, so they certainly needed a luxurious suite, but with the current situation, it seemed finding a suitable one throughout the entire Elf Acropolis would be quite difficult.
Unless Lynn acted like those pampered second-generation scions, throwing money in the face of guests currently occupying luxury suites, telling them to take the money and scram because he wanted the room.
However, Lynn couldn’t do such a thing; he felt it wasn’t about showing off but being foolish.
"What should we do? We can’t just sleep on the streets, right?"
Natasha, having rushed around the entire way, was also worried and frowning. Although she could transform into a giant dragon and find a random cave outside the city to lay some gold coins on as a bed, Lynn was of such noble status that he couldn’t be as casual as her.
"Let’s go straight to the visa office of the Elf Kingdom and stay there."
After walking through the streets and thinking it over, Lynn could only come up with this plan.
Elf Acropolis is a city funded by "tourists," so it doesn’t belong to any country. But because it is adjacent to the Elf Forest and has a Teleportation Array leading directly to the Elf Royal City, even though the Elf Kingdom couldn’t establish an embassy in this unallocated city, they rented a plot for a visa office here.
The visa office only functions to issue entry visas, not involving any diplomacy. It’s convenient for those who qualify to enter the Elf Kingdom but forgot to bring or apply for a pass.
Take Lynn, for instance. In his hurry this time, he forgot to first stop by the Elf Kingdom embassy in Holy City of Light to apply for an entry pass.
However, it wasn’t a significant issue for him. As long as he reached the location and presented the Promise of the Elf King to the Miss Elf Visa Officer, what kind of pass couldn’t he obtain?
The patrols in the Elf Forest might not all recognize the Promise of the Elf King, but the visa officers who specifically handle entry qualifications definitely would, right?
Now that he and Natasha were homeless in Elf Acropolis, they might as well stay at the visa office of the Elf Kingdom for the night and get the pass done at the same time.
With the Promise of the Elf King as leverage, surely they wouldn’t refuse them shelter for a night, would they?
Not to mention, the visa office has quite spacious housing. Even if it’s full, the elves might squeeze into one room to make space for a cozy room for them.
"Oh, oh, staying with the elves? They don’t really accommodate outsiders, do they? But Lynn isn’t an outsider to them; he’s their Elf Kingdom’s Queen. They should grant this favor."
Upon hearing this, Natasha immediately understood. If it were just her, the elf girls definitely wouldn’t accept her, but with Lynn there, it was different.
Even if they wouldn’t give face to the Miracle Saint Emperor, they’d surely give face to their own Queen, right?
Besides, it seems that Lynn, the World-saving Hero, is also the savior of the Elf Race! Xiya mentioned this to her before.
"What Queen! Am I male or female? Also, Xiya is the Prince of the Elf Kingdom, not the Elf Queen. By calling me Queen, aren’t you effectively giving me an elf wife instead..."
As Lynn spoke, he flicked Natasha’s forehead, stopping her from babbling nonsense.
"Hehe, how would I dare replace Lynn’s wife? It’s just that I accidentally called it wrong; at worst, we could add another wife, right? We can’t let Xiya be without a title..."
Natasha rubbed her forehead, which didn’t hurt at all from the flick, and giggled softly, apologizing for her slip of the tongue.
The Elf Race is a kingdom, not an empire. In the Giant Dragon Empire and Celestial Destiny Empire, the Queen refers to the wife of the Dragon King and Prince, while the Emperor’s wife is called Empress.
But in the Elf Kingdom, the leader is only a King, and his wife... well, her husband is called Queen, while the Elf Race Prince’s husband is bluntly called Prince Consort.
"You need to watch your mouth. Making a mistake in front of me only gets you a flick on the forehead. But if you call it wrong in front of the Elf Queen, she might jump up and pound you. By then, don’t blame me for not helping you."
After giving Natasha a tap, Lynn took her hand and headed straight for the Elf Kingdom’s visa office, explaining along the way. With the dragon race’s resistance to toxins, you can mess around with your diet, but words shouldn’t be thrown around carelessly, or you might really get into trouble.
Even though Natasha has been "promoted" to the level of High Saint Tier power, making her a top-notch powerhouse across the Divine Protection Continent, the reputation of the Elf Queen isn’t blown out of proportion. She has real Saint Emperor Level strength, and to control someone like Natasha, whose actual combat power doesn’t entirely match her level, would be incredibly easy; it’s like taking candy from a baby.
"Don’t worry, I’m not one of those careless barbarian dragons. If I actually meet the Elf Queen, I guarantee I won’t say the wrong thing!"
Natasha confidently assured, patting her chest. Such a mistake won’t happen again. If she messes up in front of the Elf Queen, she’d punish herself by sleeping separately from Lynn for a day!
"Mhm, good girl. This is Xiya’s hometown, and she’s still running for the position of Saintess, so we can’t bring trouble to her."
Lynn smiled, patting Natasha’s head with his other hand. Seeing her thoroughly enjoying the gesture, he led her along their walk.
Before long, the person and the dragon found themselves at the entrance of the Elf Kingdom visa office in the Elf Acropolis. It was already night, and the visa office had long since closed.
But Lynn was here to stay the night, so naturally, he wouldn’t care whether they’d closed or not. Seeing that the entrance didn’t even have a guard or a security officer, Lynn could only politely knock on the door.
The knocks echoed, startling the nearby residents and passersby even before the elf girls inside the visa office could react.
Are you courting death? Knocking on the visa office’s door at night?
This is the Elf Acropolis, right next to the Elf Forest! The Elf Kingdom only needs to activate the Teleportation Array and the divine soldiers will descend swiftly.
Did you not notice that they don’t even need guards? Because no one has the audacity to disturb the elves in the Elf Acropolis. The elves can instantly transmit messages on their territory. Just as you reach out, their 40-meter longbows could instantly turn you into a pincushion.
The Elf Race wouldn’t accommodate anyone. The last time someone knocked on the visa office door at midnight, a group of elves rushed out, attacking first and asking questions later. Even when it was found out as the Light Church Court’s emergency business, they only offered an apology. Who told you to knock and scare the elf girls?
Now this guy does the same; is he itching for trouble?
He doesn’t seem to match the profile, and he’s even with a beauty, so why come to bother the elf girls?
"Knock, knock, knock~"
Without a response from inside, Lynn continued to knock. Luckily, this time there was finally a reaction. A few green-haired heads poked out from various windows on the second floor, frowning at Lynn and Natasha outside the door.
"We’re closed; come back tomorrow if you have business."
One of the elf girls shouted to Lynn and Natasha.
Usually, in this situation, they might directly call the guards, but seeing it was a man and a woman outside, with the woman being a great beauty rivaling elves, they didn’t appear like idlers here to cause trouble. So, they just advised them to leave.
"Um, we’re here to seek shelter for the night. Can we come in?"
As he spoke, Lynn took out the Promise of the Elf King and showed it to the elf girls on the second floor.
