Chapter 242 Meeting at the bottom of the river

The elves came out of the river one by one.

Soon, the entire sacrificial team consisted of thirty people. Except for Ivan, the legion commander of the Elf Knights, all the other elves had come ashore.

But not a single drop of pure Forgotten River water was collected.

The elves all lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look directly into Atana's eyes.

Fortunately, Her Majesty the Queen has a gentle nature and will not blame her subordinates easily. Otherwise, she would have sent these losers away long ago.

Not long after, the regiment commander Ai Wen also came ashore.

He held a small jade bottle in his hand with an excited expression and handed it to Atana, "Your Majesty the Queen, my subordinates have collected ten drops of pure Forgotten River water."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Atana gave the same reply.

"This is what subordinates should do."

Ivan's enthusiasm was mostly extinguished in an instant. Why does Her Majesty the Queen always say such things to him? No matter where he stands, these are what he should do for Her Majesty the Queen.

Atana did not reply to Ivan, but looked at the other elves in the sacrificial team, "Everyone, our elves participated in the Forgotten River Festival again after hundreds of years, but only received ten drops of pure Forgotten River water.

It would be a joke to all the people. In this case, I personally went down to lie down. "

"No!" Ai Wen was anxious, "How can Her Majesty the Queen, with her body of thousands of gold, enter the river in person? I am willing to risk my life to go down again."

"No need."

Atana waved her hand, "I have my own judgment in my heart. You and your clan will wait above."

Ivan added: "Your Majesty the Queen, Cade didn't come up either. Maybe he can collect some, so you don't have to go down in person."

"Noisy!"

Atana snorted coldly.

Ivan was startled. This was the first time he saw Her Majesty the Queen angry.

However, this cannot be blamed on Her Majesty the Queen, only on her own incompetence.

Her Majesty the Queen cares about her people and does everything herself, which is worthy of admiration.

Under the ashamed gazes of the elves, Atana jumped into the Forgotten River like a fish. The elves all thought that she was going to collect water from the Forgotten River.

However, Atana had no intention of paying attention to this at all.

She anxiously searched for 'Cade'.

At this point, Atana was even more certain that Cade was Xu Xuan. She kept diving down and soon saw Xu Xuan collecting Forgotten Grass in the water near the bottom of the river.

Xu Xuan also felt the gaze from behind.

He turned around to look, his expression still calm, but he was confused in his heart as to why Atana was here, or why she was coming straight to him.

"Meet Her Majesty the Queen."

Xu Xuan saluted calmly and asked, "Why did you come down in person?"

Atana looked at him and asked: "Cade, I heard that you recently accepted Nicoleline as a disciple?"

Xu Xuan was shocked.

This kind of questioning...

Could it be that Atana has discovered him?

He has had this suspicion since Atana deliberately inspired the blood aura at the Elf Temple seven days ago. Now that Atana has personally come down to meet him at the bottom of the river, this guess is almost certain.

In the turbulent river water, Atana's heart beat rapidly.

She took out the jade bottle containing Xu Xuan's blood, "It's you, right?"

Xu Xuan was silent.

His silence was undoubtedly the acquiescence in Atana's eyes.

"Do you suspect that I betrayed Moira?" Atana asked.

Without waiting for Xu Xuan to answer, she said again:

"Don't worry, I can set up a restraint on speech and spirit, and I won't embarrass you."

With that said, Atana set up a speech and spirit ban in front of Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan was helpless. Since Atana had shown his loyalty and got in touch with Moira, he had nothing to hide. Anyway, he had to be honest with Atana when performing the final mission.

"It's me!"

Xu Xuan regained his voice.

"It's really you! Xu Xuan!" Atana's eyes suddenly turned red, "I miss you so much."

Although she only got along with Xu Xuan for a short period of time, for the elves, some things were decided the moment they met.

She rushed forward and wanted to hug Xu Xuan, but Xu Xuan avoided her without leaving any trace.

Such a small action can hurt so much.

In Xu Xuan's heart, Atana is a good friend, but she is just a friend.

Humans are different from elves.

Without the experience of getting along day and night, it is difficult to have deep feelings, let alone develop feelings.

He came here for Su Ying, not to see Atana. It wouldn't make much difference to him to change the target and hand over the task.

"Atana, when will that thing be handed over to me?" Xu Xuan asked.

It is undoubtedly the best time to talk about this matter under the Forgotten River.

Atana felt a sense of disappointment. Why didn't Xu Xuan ask her about her condition after seeing each other for so long? She had suffered too much injustice and suffered too much for this matter.

How many days and nights I cried alone.

She wanted to find someone to talk to.

But……

Throughout the entire Eternal Forest, no one deserves absolute trust.

"Within half a year." Yatana replied: "I don't know the specific time. I will notify you as soon as the time comes."

"Thank you."

Xu Xuan clasped his fists.

Atana pursed her lips, "You're welcome. You saved me twice, no! It was three times. On the day of the coronation ceremony, the mysterious strong man who saved me was also you, right?"

"Yes." Xu Xuan nodded.

"How should I repay?" Atana looked at him closely, "I owe you too much."

"No."

Xu Xuan shook his head: "You don't owe me. You have paid so much for the human race and Blue Star. As a member of the human race, I am just doing what I can."

He sighed in his heart.

In order to complete this part of the Suying plan, Atana really paid too much. Such a kind and innocent girl was forced to sit on the position of queen.

Spurned and insulted by countless tribesmen, with no relatives, she had to move forward with a heavy burden.

He could also feel Atana's emotions.

That's why he deliberately distanced himself from her on the grounds of the mission, hoping that this little girl could change her mind as soon as possible!

Atana smiled bitterly, "Go up early! With your current status, it's not appropriate to stay at the bottom of the river for too long. The people of the Ten Thousand Races Council are now keeping a close eye on our elves."

Xu Xuan nodded, "I know."

He has collected more than a hundred drops of pure Forgotten River water.

The amount seems small, but as long as it is given to disciples, it will be a huge fortune.

In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Xuan went ashore first.

As soon as he got ashore, Ivan rushed up, grabbed his arm and asked anxiously: "Kade, you finally came up. Did you see Her Majesty the Queen? Is she okay?"

"I think I did."

Xu Xuan pretended not to know, "Her Majesty is protected by the Eternal Scepter, she will be fine."

Not long after, Atana also got ashore.

Ivan immediately rushed over and asked: "Her Majesty, are you okay?"

Looking into the Queen's eyes.

For some reason, he always felt that there was a trace of sadness in the Queen's eyes.

Just like himself, the sadness of being unable to love.
