Chapter 638: Elf Queen Lolth

When we arrived at the large wooden building in the middle of the village of the Poison Forest Elves, Joseph took me to a meeting room that was already full of people, there was a large mass in the shape of a half moon.

On the straight side of the table were three people, a Dark Elf woman who was the prettiest of people here by far, a Gray Elf man who had a scar on his neck, and a Dark Elf man who had a monster by his side.

This monster was a Bear with purple spikes on its back and two blades stuck in its arms, the monster's gaze was calm and it seemed to have some intelligence, but I can't tell if it's a tamed monster or a Holy Beast that has a contract with this Dark Elf.

"I'm sorry to interrupt the meeting, my Queen." (Joseph)

"Alright, it was just a report on the last preparations we've been making." (Elf Queen)

"But now I see that our guest has arrived." (Elf Queen)

"This is Zenos, the person we've been waiting for." (Joseph)

"Nice to meet the Elf Queen and all of you." (I)

"The pleasure is all ours, your presence in this village means a lot to everyone, Mr Zenos." (Elf Queen)

"You can call me Lolth if you like, as you may have noticed, I am the Queen of this village." (Queen Lolth)

"Those beside me are..." (Queen Lolth)

For the next few minutes, everyone was very formal, Queen Lolth who was the beautiful Dark Elf introduced those in the room to me, the two next to her were part of the village council along with Joseph.

The others were responsible for different functions in the village such as commerce, military, etc.

It seems they've been having daily meetings since Joseph left to be as prepared as possible.

Perhaps sensing my annoyance with the formality of this meeting, Queen Lolth asked the others to go out and give tasks to each one, even the village council members had tasks assigned to them.

In the end, it was just me and Queen Lolth left.

As soon as I laid my eyes on her I realized many things, she is at a much higher level of strength than I am, I am sure of this because I am not able to feel her strength.

"Doesn't this affect other Elves?" (I)

"Mostly, no." (Queen Lolth)

"But it can affect those with a connection to nature, in cases like mine, it can lead to death for others, if it weren't for my willpower and the remnants of the World Tree Blessing, I wouldn't have been able to last this long. " (Queen Lolth)

I think about what I was seeing on the way here, for a place that has a World Tree and full of Elves who must have close relationships with nature, this village has almost no Fairies or Spirits.

"Is that why there are no Fairies or Spirits here?" (I)

"Sadly yes." (Queen Lolth)

"Once there were gates to the Fairy world and the Spirit world in this village, but those gates have been gone for over 100 years, even the Fairy Temples and the Spirit Temple were destroyed in the battle that wounded the World Tree." (Queen Lolth)

The amount of damage that this village has suffered has been many, so much damage that it is still far from recovering.

"If there is a completely healthy World Tree will everything go back to normal?" (I)

"In time, yes, I would be able to sort out everything else, as long as harmony spreads again in this place." (Queen Lolth)

I could see a hint of sadness in the Elf Queen's eyes, but then it faded and she started to smile again.

"You know what's going to happen, right?" (I)

"Yes, the World Tree told us a long time ago about its arrival and what would happen." (Queen Lolth)

"After Joseph told us about the conversation they had months ago, I'm glad the World Tree has the chance to save itself." (Queen Lolth)

"I can help, but I can't promise it will work, and I can't do it alone." (I)

"I will need your help and also the help of the new World Tree." (I)

"That won't be a problem for me, but how much I can help will depend on the World Tree you plant." (Queen Lolth)
