Prime Originator

Chapter 1048 Lord Rhuvek

Past the silver gates wasn't a world of complete darkness like the deep abyss. The entire space was fully illuminated by soft green spots floating around.

Leon wasn't surprised when the tiny fairy called Fairy Sorrell appeared.

However, he was surprised to see that the dark elves shared a close relationship with the fairy race in the abyss. After all, the fairy race was usually intimate with the wood elves, not the dark elves.

But then again, the dark elves weren't like the dark elves he knew.

The dark elves certainly look like dark elves, and they also live underground. However, the underground they lived in was not one that was full of dirt and rocks. Instead, it was full of plants and refined metal.

The city just beyond the wall was quite similar to how New Capital was shaping out to be.

There was plenty of air, food, and water for the dark elves to live comfortably. In fact, the current dark elf clan's city was comparable to a giant oasis in an unforgiving desert.

Nevertheless, it would have been a bleak and gloomy place without the fairies, fireflies, and glowing moss lighting up the subterranean world.

Shortly after Fairy Sorrell delivered the clan leader's message, she frowned at the dark elves' slow responses.

"What are you all doing? Did you not hear what I just said? The clan leader instructed everyone to treat our two guests with the utmost respect!" Fairy Sorrell scowled.

The little fairy looked quite cute when she threw a tantrum, but none of the dark elves dared to dismiss her words.

She was the clan leader's favorite, not to mention the two guests were revered Paragons.

"Y-yes, Fairy Sorrell!" the dark elven soldiers responded.

Shortly after, the dark elven soldiers quickly retracted the spears and arrows directed at Leon and Rainshine. Even the tier-6 siege weapons on the wall at the back were reset to their original target, the silver gate.

Fairy Sorrell flapped her tiny wings and approached Leon a few moments later.

"Please excuse our Captain Dhithres and his soldiers' insolence, Your Excellencies. They are just following standard protocol. If you would, please follow me; I will guide you to our clan leader's location," Fairy Sorrell spoke.

"Alright," Leon calmly nodded.

Shortly after, Leon followed Fairy Sorrell's lead and made their way past the silver wall before the dark elven city behind it was revealed to him.

Leon had already seen everything with his divine sense, but Rainshine, on the other hand, was amazed by the beautiful city, which was born from a fusion of technology and nature.

It was a city of metal covered in plants.

And the flickering and glittering lights of red, yellow, and green coming from the fairies, glowing moss, and fireflies gave it a surreal yet otherworldly feeling.

It was truly an impressive sight.

"This is such a beautiful city, Master," Rainshine commented with awe before wondering, "Would New Capital become like this one day?"

"Maybe," Leon casually answered.

Rainshine could see the similarities between New Capital and the dark elf clan's city. New Capital was only lacking the night lights.

Meanwhile, Fairy Sorrell overheard Rainshine's comment and felt proud.

Fifteen minutes later, Leon and Rainshine arrived in the heart of the city, where a thirty-floor pyramid-shaped palace stood tall and connected to the giant tree roots that came spiraling down from the cave ceiling.

Leon narrowed his eyes with scrutiny when he vaguely felt the working of a large formation hidden within the sea of tree roots that completely covered the surface of the ceiling.

Particles of bluish-green light dripped down from the end tips of the tree roots like water drops, but they were lighter than feathers. In fact, they were weightless.

Those particles were wisps of spirit energy.

At the entrance of the elven palace, two rows of dark elven guards lined up on either side of the path respectfully as they welcomed Fairy Sorrell's return with the two honored guests.

Leon didn't think much of them and entered the palace under Fairy Sorrell's lead.

After passing through a few corridors and taking a few flights of stairs, Leon entered a grand hall filled with lavish decorations of exotic spirit plants, crystal sculptures, and armored statues.

At the end of the grand hall, the dark elven clan leader sat on his throne like a king, emanating the aura of a Mid Paragon.

"Clan Leader, I have brought the guests."

"Un. Thank you, Sorrell."

Shortly after Fairy Sorrell informed, the dark elf clan leader acknowledged with a nod before standing up from his throne to personally greet the guests with proper respects.

"Welcome to my city, friends from the surface. I am the clan leader of the Dark Elf Clan's seventh branch, as well as this city's lord, Rhuvek," the dark elf clan leader introduced himself before saying, "I heard you have business with my city?"

"I do," Leon calmly asserted.

Along the way, he had come across many dark elves.

However, most of them weren't even Transcendents. As such, a Mid Paragon among the dark elves was quite impressive.

Even so, Rhuvek's strength still paled to Rainshine.

Nevertheless, he didn't find it surprising that Rhuvek had already learned every detail of his conversation at the silver gate, given the number of fairies flying around the city.

It was easy for them to pass information to Rhuvek.

"Since Lord Rhuvek already knows what happened at the gate, I will skip the introductions. Lord Rhuvek should have already learned the purpose of my visit as well," Leon said.

"Un, the fairies informed me," Lord Rhuvek calmly admitted.

"I still find it incredibly hard to believe, but there's no reason for a Peak Paragon to lie. Given your great strength, Lord Leon could easily demolish this city if you wanted to."

"Please take a seat, Lord Leon. I believe we have much to learn from each other," Lord Rhuvek politely gestured to the seats on the side.

Then, Lord Rhuvek waited for Leon to choose his seat before sitting back down on his throne. He didn't dare to sit before a Peak Paragon did.
