CHAPTER 855: CHAPTER 500: HELPING THE BANSEL CLAN PLANT GOLDEN TREE SEEDS (PART 2)

Fiona could understand what the question was asking and replied with a smile, "I’m doing well. The bloodline power in my body hasn’t been completely purified, but most of it has been removed. With the reinforcement of the Spiritual Treasure Pearl, even if the Prince of Bloodline appears, he can’t directly control me."

Back on Blue Star, Fiona was injected with the Bloodline Transformation Potion.

At that time, Will Berg could control her as the Prince of Bloodline.

After the Abyss Battlefield ended, Fiona returned to the main world of the elves and has been undergoing purification with natural magic.

Though the process is a bit slow, as long as it’s effective, it will eventually be completely cleared.

The two entered the palace district to meet with Queen Orelana.

Upon seeing Lu Heng, Queen Orelana smiled and said, "Your growth speed always surprises me, you’re stronger than the last time we parted."

When they last fought the Bone Sovereign together, Lu Heng had just obtained the Fourth Transition Rank [Judicator of the Blade], and now he’s already at the Fifth Transition as the [Star Realm Sword Saint].

This rank of Sword Saint is already certified, putting him on the same Class level as Terres.

"Where is Elder Terres?" Lu Heng casually asked about this mentor and elf sword saint, who is both a teacher and friend.

"There are some disturbances at the Ice Disaster Rift; Teacher Terres took a guard to investigate." Queen Orelana gently closed her eyes.

"Is there any problem?"

"No big problem, if you stay a few more days, you’ll be able to see Teacher Terres."

"I can’t stay too long this time." Lu Heng tilted his head; he indeed didn’t come here for a vacation, there’s still work to do.

"Oh, that means business, let’s hear it. What kind of help do you need from us?" Queen Orelana smiled, already guessing Lu Heng’s purpose for coming.

Lu Heng organized his words and said, "I created a cross-world Anti-Magic Council called the Sword Holders. It is meant to uphold civilization with the sword, protect the future of civilization, and jointly search for ways to resist the Abyss.

"Several civilizations have already joined, so I formally invite the Elves to join and hope you can become a part of the Sword Holders."

Queen Orelana did not immediately agree but asked in detail about the structure, discipline, and philosophy of the Sword Holders.

This is different from the Bansel Clan; Mia didn’t think too much, she trusted Lu Heng, so as long as her father didn’t object, she immediately agreed to join.

The civilization level of the Elf Clan is higher, requiring more considerations.

As the queen of the Elf Clan, Orelana needs to consider her people and listen to the opinions of other elf elders.

Thus, she cannot join an unfamiliar organization just because she trusts Lu Heng.

Lu Heng used simple words to introduce the philosophy of the Sword Holders.

Although the Sword Holders is a cross-world council, the connection between civilizations is not too deep.

After all, each civilization exists in different worlds with little intersection with each other.

There is no spatial conflict, nor is there an inevitable connection of fate.

If one civilization perishes from the Abyssal erosion, it won’t cause severe damage to other civilizations.

Therefore, among different civilizations, the Sword Holders is a relatively loose organization.

To be precise, the Sword Holders are a group of people with the same ideals, united to help each other and jointly seek ways to fight against the Abyss.

Therefore, there are no restrictions on the civilizations joining the Sword Holders.

Also, the Sword Holders are actually joined on an individual basis, rather than as entire civilizations joining together.

After all, civilizations can change rulers, and once a ruler is changed, they may not want to remain in the Sword Holders if their philosophy differs from their predecessor.

Therefore, Lu Heng only invites individuals to join the Sword Holders.

Of course, if Queen Orelana joins the Sword Holders, in a sense, it is equivalent to the elves joining.

After listening, Queen Orelana considered for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I agree to join the Sword Holders."

She smiled and then asked, "You must have more than just this purpose for coming here, right?"

Lu Heng scratched his head and laughed, saying, "I have another allied civilization called the Bansel people. Their tribe has just begun to revive and encountered abyssal pollution again.

"Currently, the abyssal pollution zone is still 200 kilometers away from their settlement.

"If untreated, their settlement will be eroded by the Abyss within four to five years.

"So I came to seek help to see if we can help them resist the abyssal pollution."

Queen Orelana pondered, "Completely purifying the Abyssal pollution is definitely impossible. If it could be done, Quel’dorei wouldn’t be in its current state."

Lu Heng nodded and replied, "Of course, my consideration is to slow the spread of the Abyssal pollution area. If possible, I’d like to discuss it with Elder Serren."

In the Elf Clan, the one mastering the methods to combat Abyssal pollution is actually Forest Elder Serren.

Queen Orelana agreed to this request, "Okay, I’ll invite Teacher Serren to discuss."

As she spoke, she released a magic that floated ahead, forming a mirror surface.

The mirror emitted starlight, slowly revealing the scene of the Moonshadow Forest, where Serren appeared in the image.

"Elder Serren, long time no see." Lu Heng waved to greet.

Serren nodded and replied, "Representing the Moon God’s blessing to you, my friend."

Lu Heng recounted the matters regarding the Bansel Clan and then asked, "Does the elder have any solutions?"

Serren fell into thought, and after a while, he answered, "The Golden Tree Seeds can indeed slow the spread of Abyssal pollution, but the sources of Abyssal pollution in each world vary, and the specific effect cannot be guaranteed."

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Elder, you have been researching the purification capabilities of Golden Tree Seeds against the Abyss, right? In researching this matter, it’s actually a race against time.

"If growing Golden Tree Seeds can be accelerated in other worlds, or if the environment can be changed to unlock more potential from the Golden Tree Seeds, it might help your research."

Serren listened and indeed felt tempted, "Indeed, if given enough time, even if I can’t completely purify the Abyss, I am confident to block the Abyssal pollution outside the main city.

"As you said, time is a hurdle, and perhaps conducting research on Golden Tree Seeds in other worlds can yield results faster.

"But how can I travel to other worlds? Just one trip for a few days is not enough; it requires frequent travel between the two worlds."

Lu Heng replied with a smile, "Leave that to me, I can take you there, and when the time is right in the future, we can establish a teleportation array between the two worlds."

Serren seriously considered, then looked at Orelana and asked, "Does Your Highness approve of me going?"

Queen Orelana nodded and replied, "Follow the teacher’s arrangements."

Serren immediately decided, "Alright, I am willing to go with you. Meet at the Moonshadow Forest in two days."

"Good, I thank you on behalf of the Bansel Clan." Lu Heng managed to accomplish this matter and saw hope for the Bansel Clan to resist Abyssal pollution.

...

Two days later.

Lu Heng bid farewell to Queen Orelana, went to the Moonshadow Forest, and then, with Serren and a team of Elf Druids, headed for the Bansel Clan’s territory.

The Bansel people had only heard of elves and had never seen them before, so when Serren and the Elf Druids arrived at Stone Hammer Castle, they immediately attracted onlookers.

The Bansel people indeed had never seen elves because their world’s Danger Level was not high enough to summon the rank of the Elf Clan.

After formally meeting, Lu Heng introduced Serren to Iron Arm and Mia, informing them that they are the natural magic guardians of the Elf Clan.

Since it was a departure from Quel’dorei, Serren didn’t want to stay too long outside, so after understanding the situation, he officially started his work to investigate the situation of the Abyssal pollution.

The next day, he led the Elf Druids to plant Golden Tree Seeds around the Abyssal swamp.
