My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1205 1203. Speaking of which, if I now call myself the “King Supporter”, no one will object, right?
Although Tris seemed to have brought up this topic suddenly, Ivirios and Sheila were not surprised.

In fact, even if Lord Murphy did not take the initiative to mention this matter, the young couple would take the initiative to find the Chosen God of Creation and Lord of Withering today or tomorrow to complete the final confirmation of these matters.

Of all the things they wanted to discuss, the most important one was of course the succession to the throne of the Kingdom of Castile.

This sounds like the elves' internal affairs that do not require anyone else to interfere, but the glaring Adel Tree of the Afterlife in the underworld stands where the Castilla Tree once was. This matter cannot be concealed at all. Some elves now call the tree the "Pale Tree of the Dead", and the official Elf Kingdom is also preparing to step in to guide public opinion, but without the permission of His Excellency the "Lord of Withering", the two young men really don't dare to do it.

Murphy single-handedly created the underworld in the Elf Kingdom. The moment the Tree of Rebirth appeared, he was destined to have an important say in the inheritance of the kingdom.

The Elf King once only had to manage the living, but now, the dead on this land also have their own affiliations, which makes the originally simple issue of power succession instantly become complicated.

"As the Lord of Withering, let me emphasize this to the leaders of the living."

If they wanted to discuss serious matters, they certainly couldn't do so in Murphy's cabin, so they moved to the meeting room of the Origin Pioneer. Adele, who was capable in every sense, had arranged everything. After the delicious snacks were served and the hypocritical incense was lit, Murphy, holding a cup of tea, took the initiative to speak:

“No matter where the dead are from, as long as they are still under the Hades system, they can only make suggestions but not make decisions regarding the inheritance of power in the world of the living, and they cannot arbitrarily interfere in the succession of dynasties among the living.

This is one of the most basic rules of the underworld, so you don’t have to worry that the existence of Adel’s underworld will affect the existing power system of the Elf Kingdom.

In fact, the Tree of the Dead, or Pale Tree, in Adel’s Hades is not even permanent in the material world.”

He leaned back in his chair like a big shot, facing Ivelios and Sheilagui, who were listening attentively, and explained:

"Currently, the Hades plane is spreading, and Adel Hades, as the connection point between it and the material world, only serves as a 'beacon'.

As long as Adel Hades can successfully assume the responsibility of the cycle of life and death in the Kingdom of Castilla, then as this matter progresses and the Hades plane expands, Adel Hades will eventually be completely integrated into the Hades plane and disappear from the material world.

It's the same relationship as the Sanghai Underworld and the Millennium Sand Sea.

In this big forest, there will eventually be only one entrance to the underworld left, hidden at the edge of the real world, which is in line with the symbol of death culture of the elves. According to my current observations, Adel's underworld will only stay in the material world for three to five years at most and then return to where it should go.

By then, Adel Hades would only be a conceptual existence for ordinary elves.

It’s like a legend that is passed down from mouth to mouth but is real.”

"So good."

Ivy let out a breath.

He knew that his conservative people would be relieved like himself after hearing the news.

Elves are stubborn and conservative. The sudden appearance of a kingdom of the dead in the kingdom will definitely make many people uneasy, not to mention that the elves used to worship the god Avalon, who represents life and nature.

He and death seemed inherently at odds with each other.

But Princess Xilagui was obviously thinking more. She frowned and said:
"I don't know much about the underworld system, Governor Murphy, but I heard that as the Lord of Withering, you will not directly participate in the management of the underworlds in various places. You are only the king of the dead in name only. The specific management of each underworld is still left to the underworld gods or gods of death of various races.

Then please forgive me for asking, our elves’ god of the underworld.”

"In the end, it is likely that Lord Avalon will create the face of the god of death, the 'Old Crone of the Dead'. However, there may be some unexpected events. After all, you elves do not only have Avalon as your god. In theory, Ms. Spider is also one of your elves' gods."

Murphy replied in an affirmative tone:
"But it is already difficult for the God Avalon to maintain three aspects. He hinted to me that unless His dead body Afidahil Star Tree in the astral realm is resurrected, He will not be able to extend the fourth aspect.

Considering that the war between the Order and Chaos camps will eventually advance from the material world to the astral realm, the "main mission" of your Elven Kingdom in the future will definitely be to help your god revive the giant star tree that supports the broken astral realm.

I don't know how long this process will take to complete, but it must be completed. This is what the Order camp must do in the future.

I am sure of it!
Before the birth of Avalon the Crone, the elven god of death, Adel will be ruled by King Quirion and Queen Ilenia as the Pale King and the Withered Queen. They will rule the dead in the early days of the underworld just as they ruled the living when they were alive.

I can only say that I will not participate in the establishment and rule-making of your elves' underworld.

That's not my area to get involved in.

Therefore, if you still have questions about the Adel Underworld, you can go directly to ask your parents. They are very busy recently, but they can still make time to see you. However, for the living, traveling through the dead is a dangerous act, so you should not visit too frequently.

The dead are usually not in a very good mood."

"I have received the most wonderful answer, sir."

Princess Xilagui said with a satisfied smile:

"I have no doubts about it anymore."

"I know what you're asking in a roundabout way, but next time you can actually ask a question like this directly."

Murphy shrugged, showed a very friendly smile, and said:
"Now that you've finished asking questions, it's my turn. One of my questions is, when are you two going to get married?"

"Ah this."

Murphy's "parent-like" question completely confused the two elves.

However, with Tris's kind laughter, the two second-generation elf leaders immediately understood that if they wanted to succeed the king and queen of the elven kingdom, they must first complete a formal wedding to be legitimate. So, Governor Murphy's real question was when the two were going to succeed to the throne?
This was a truly serious matter, so Prince Ivelios immediately replied:

“The kingdom has just encountered a rebellion. Although the Witch Cult has been completely eradicated and the ambitious Perona has been dealt with, the shadow they cast has not been completely dispelled.

There are still remnants of the Dead Fang species, remnants of the Witch Cult, and dangerous Flesh-Tearing Ghosts active in various parts of the Castilian Peninsula. The people are in panic, the Port of Amastacia has been severely damaged, and the Leafy Royal Court has been almost razed to the ground.

Until these problems are resolved, Xilagui and I have no intention of completing the costly wedding, nor are we in a hurry to inherit the throne.

It's not that we don't care about national politics, but because our elves' unique custom of immortality makes it difficult to break the stability of the country, so the people have enough patience to wait for the storm to subside before welcoming the second Elf King.

Frankly speaking, Xilagui and I do not have enough reputation in the kingdom, so we need to take advantage of the end of this storm to win more recognition and following from the people.

If you really need a timeline, I estimate it should be done within ten years.”

"It's too long for humans, but it's fast for elves."

Murphy nodded and suggested:
"Instead of re-establishing the capital at the site of the old royal court, it would be better to combine the restoration of the royal court with the reconstruction of Port Amastacia. Your era must be an era of exploration and progress. Ivy, as your friend, I absolutely believe that under your rule, the once isolated and conservative Elven Kingdom will continue to spread its influence to the outside world. Therefore, you should re-establish a new capital for your rule.

If you need it, the Transian stonemason brotherhood will be happy to help. My stonemasons have architectural secrets from another world that can help you repair the city of the sea elves in a very short time, and prepare a palace for you and Xilagui that suits your status for your wedding and coronation ceremony.

I will also open up the recruitment and landing of foreigners in the Elf Kingdom.

I will give you some of their command, and I believe that you will become a good friend of the foreigners."

“It couldn’t be better.”

Ivirios smiled, held Xilagui's hand, and thanked Murphy very sincerely. However, Murphy's next words made the two young elven rulers frown.

"But as a king, good diplomacy is always the top priority, so I now formally invite you two to accompany me to the Songhai Empire to attend the coronation ceremony of Her Majesty Queen Pharaoh Fulier to be held in the Ptolemy Royal City." Murphy said:
"Both countries have acknowledged that the tragedy three hundred years ago was caused by the covert manipulation of past ambitious people. It was artificially created hatred and confrontation. As pragmatic leaders, you two should adopt a more positive attitude to bridge the contradictions instead of ignoring it or continuing to incite hatred.

With the political wisdom you two have demonstrated, you don't need to use such despicable means to divert domestic conflicts.

To be honest, the elves' Buddhist lifestyle means you don't have any domestic conflicts to divert."

"This"

Ivy frowned and hesitated, but Princess Xilagui spoke frankly. She said:
"Is it too fast? Lord Murphy, I understand that as the Chosen One of Creation, you want to see the true unity of the Order camp. Ivy and I have indeed thought about this.

The reconciliation between the elves and the Songhai people is the general trend. However, the two countries have been hostile to each other for three hundred years. Although there has been no real war, to be honest, there are many conflicts between the two sides. It is just the "truth" of thousands of years ago that has been revealed so far, about the origin of the Songhai Empire and the ignominious role our parents played in it.
To be honest, if I were the Pharaoh Queen of the Songhai people, I would not forgive the perpetrators so easily.

We are the party at fault in this matter, and we are willing to take the initiative, but only time can heal the hatred shaped by time. What I mean is, it is better to let the two sides engage in private contact first. "

“Very sound thinking.”

Trish said:

"However, everything you said is based on the premise that there is enough time, Xilagui. The biggest problem Murphy and we are facing now is that we don't have that much time to put aside our hatred and slowly cultivate friendship.

Huang Hun's counterattacks became more and more fierce, which proved that they had reached the end of their rope.

The elves are excellent hunters, and I think you should know that a wounded beast is always the most dangerous.

If we can't unite the Order camp before the Chaos camp launches a desperate general attack, then we will be at a terrible disadvantage in the future decisive battle, so this matter must be done quickly, not delayed!"

"The entanglement from thousands of years ago has been resolved with the fall of the Mother of the Forest."

Murphy said calmly:

"Avalon loves you so much, elves, that he even took the initiative to invite the Songhai Desert God of Death to be his executioner. When Hades chopped down the execution blade that shattered the face of the Forest Mother, the hatred between the two races, no matter how deep it was, was eliminated to the greatest extent.

The gods have suffered for you and have given you the most sincere punishment!

I think even the most demanding Songhai people cannot say more about the blame in this matter. I also believe that in the continued contact between the Pluto Bug and the Oak Father, the two tribes will first establish alliance unity at the level of faith.

However, when the gods are working hard, mortals can't fall too far behind, right?

I don’t think you lack courage, and you should make the decision when to take that brave step.”

Ivy and Shiragui fell silent.

The young couple holding hands looked at each other for a few seconds. After exchanging glances, Ivelios whispered:
"Please give us some time, and we will give you an answer when you leave Castilla Peninsula."

"No need to think anymore!"

A hoarse voice sounded from outside the meeting room.

As the door was pushed open, Prince Philosir, still bandaged and with a haggard face, appeared in front of everyone.

Sierra and Ivy immediately stood up to support their aunt. After King Quirion, Queen Elenia and Archdruid MacAfell had all passed into the underworld, this "National Protector General" had become the only remaining "Ancient One" in the Kingdom of Castilla. Coupled with her transcendent status in the royal court, she had a say in such national affairs that no one could ignore.

Prince Firothir had never been involved in politics before, but this was no ordinary moment, so she spoke bluntly to the two young elf leaders:

"I have met Prince Khufu of the Sand Sea Empire. He is a young man like you, and his sister is no more mature than you. Although young people have shortcomings of various kinds, your greatest advantage is that you dare to think and act.

He will not be like us old people who are held back by the past and dare not take that step.

Although the Kingdom has never had a direct conflict with the Songhai people, for the past three hundred years we have deployed heavy troops in the Strait of Castile to guard against the invasion of the Songhai people at all times. The supply and stationing of that legion is a burden to the Kingdom, and its existence has caused complaints from the towns in the southern part of the Kingdom.

If you can bring peace and use these resources to improve the quality of life of your people and build your country, then the recognition and ruling power that you lack will be delivered to you by the people.

The shadow elves and some bad guys on the continent slander us elves as a cold-blooded race, but we love peace. We are not afraid to show peace, and we have the courage to take the initiative to break the ice and eliminate stupid hatred.

I.
Because of what happened before, I am no longer qualified to be the Ranger General. I will resign from all my positions and go to Ptolemy City as your special envoy. I will take care of everything for you.

I also believe that with the mediation of Governor Murphy, this incident that should not have happened three hundred years ago will be resolved in the most appropriate way."

Ferosier reached out and held Ivy and Xilagui's hands. She said seriously:
"Your parents are watching you, kids, make them proud of you."

"But aunt, you are our Ranger General forever."

Princess Xilagui said sadly:

"After our parents left, will you abandon us too? Everyone knows that those mistakes were not yours, and the people will understand."

"Silly boy, I just can't get over myself."

Fei Luoxier showed a weak smile. The ranger general with a complicated life experience reached out and stroked her niece's long hair. She said softly:

"You cannot keep those dangerous fallen sons of God locked up in the country. They are an uncontrollable poison and a threat that must be eliminated. As a sinner, I will stake my remaining reputation to eliminate the final threat for my children."

She looked back at Murphy and said softly:

"Your Excellency Governor, I heard that the vampires are forming an elite regiment specifically to deal with the threat of Chaos? Are you short of a scout captain and a powerful punishment battalion?"

"There is no shortage of scout captains. The Blood Fear Clan has plenty of elite hunters."

Murphy shrugged.
“But it’s obviously an exaggeration to ask that coward Pablo to serve as the Ranger General of the ‘Holy Blood Legion’, and he has to prepare the Transian navy and cannot spare the time. Therefore, what we need is a general who can assist Lord Payne in leading the Holy Blood Legion to win the war!
Just in time, Lord Yvette seemed to have found the most important person in her life.

She's also going to devote the rest of her life to solving the Shadow Elves problem, so I'd love to have you join us.

but."

Murphy paused.

He looked at the calm Philosier and said softly:

"The Holy Blood Legion is a united force formed specifically for vampires. I must confirm whether you are truly ready to step into the eternal night."

"A tired elf will always die in a war, Lord Murphy."

The Ranger General said softly:
"A sinner is not qualified to set foot in the underworld, Adel. That is the hometown of Quirion and Ilenia, not mine! My life and my destiny will eventually usher in a destined and necessary turning point. As long as you accept me, I will discuss the rest with Lord Paying.

It just so happens that I have some friendship with him."
