About half a day later, the elven race, having discussed the possibility of an alliance, sent a special invitation to the Zerg Queen to visit the Glowing Forest.
For safety, Xia Jin sent her projection to the scene.
When they saw such a stunningly beautiful white-haired girl appear before them, every elf looked on in disbelief.
“So... so beautiful.”
“Is she a goddess?”
“Ah, why does she feel more like a real elf than we do?”
“If I were male, I would certainly be infatuated with her.”
“I’m already a bit infatuated.”
The elves, who possessed exquisite beauty themselves, actually felt a sense of inferiority at this moment.
Indeed, Xia Jin’s projection was still more beautiful than the elves, making it impossible for anyone to associate her with magic beasts.
The Elven Queen stared blankly for a moment before rising from her throne and approaching the white-haired girl.
“Welcome, respected Zerg Queen. I am the Elven Queen—Paruxi.”
“Hello. Have you come to discuss the alliance with me?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Please, have a seat.”
Sitting on a chair formed from plants, Xia Jin looked at the vine-wrapped table and the fruit placed upon it. she picked one up and took a gentle bite.
“Mm, is this an elven specialty? It tastes quite good,” she praised, looking at the light blue fruit in her hand.
“I did not expect that you, as a magic beast, would also enjoy the fruits of our elven race.” A look of joy appeared on the Queen’s face.
Generally speaking, magic beasts were carnivorous creatures, which always made the elven race feel they were incompatible.
Yet this beautiful Queen not only matched elven aesthetics in appearance but also shared similar tastes in food.
“The Zerg are not magic beasts,” Xia Jin reminded her.
“Ah, is that so? Truly... incredible.” The Elven Queen raised an eyebrow.
“Very well, let us skip the pleasantries. Since we have decided to cooperate, perhaps we need a deeper understanding of each other’s situations. As you likely know, the Zerg are about to face an attack from the humans. In this war, I do not ask for much—only a certain amount of magical support. In exchange for your help, I will provide enough Tier 4 zerglings and Tier 5 hydralisks to help you resist the enemies from the underground world.”
Every individual of the elven race was a powerful magic archer with extreme long-range combat capabilities, but they were not skilled in close quarters.
Their skills focused on high-power single-target magic emphasizing range and precision, making it difficult for them to deal with enemies in large numbers.
This was precisely why the elven race, despite their strength, had been retreating step by step.
The appearance of the Zerg perfectly compensated for their weaknesses.
“I thank you for your generosity. I believe such a cooperation is perfectly acceptable,” the Elven Queen said, standing up.
The two sides then discussed the finer details and established a concrete plan.
Afterward, the elven banquet continued.
This time, Xia Jin tasted many delicacies she had never experienced before.
The plants of the elven race were clearly different from those outside; they not only tasted excellent but were also rich in energy. If an ordinary person ate them, it would likely extend their lifespan by at least a few years.
Just as Xia Jin finished her meal with satisfaction and prepared to leave, the Elven Queen, Paruxi, suddenly dismissed the elven girls present, leaving only herself in the room with Xia Jin.
“My deepest apologies. What I am about to say is not convenient for them to hear.”
Seeing her attitude, Xia Jin immediately knew the Elven Queen had important information to share. She asked, “Does the Queen have something to tell me?”
The Elven Queen pondered for a moment before asking, “The Zerg are not a native species, are they?”
Xia Jin froze for a moment, frowning slightly. “What do you... mean by that?”
“I sense an aura from the stars within the Zerg and yourself. Therefore, I believe you are not a native species of this world.”
“...”
While the Elven Queen maintained a smiling expression, Xia Jin narrowed her eyes, contemplating the other’s intent.
This statement carried an immense amount of information.
Does she know I came from outer space?
Strictly speaking, the Zerg were indeed lifeforms that came from the universe. Saying they were from the vast starry sky was certainly accurate.
But on what basis did the elven race believe this?
“Your Majesty, could you explain your words in detail?” Xia Jin inquired.
“It is for certain reasons.” The Elven Queen rose from her seat and gave a slight bow. “May I take you to a certain place?”
“Very well.”
Since it was only a projection, Xia Jin was not afraid of any schemes the other might have.
Following the Elven Queen toward the west, they did not head for the towering tree in the central district but instead arrived at the edge of a slope.
There, a massive object constructed entirely of metal suddenly came into view.
“This is...”
A starship?
Xia Jin looked at the sophisticated Elven Queen in surprise.
Truthfully, standing next to her, Xia Jin’s own appearance did indeed seem very youthful.
After all, she was only a teenage girl.
“Could it be that you arrived here in this thing?” Xia Jin asked.
“No... we elves are truly native creatures. However, we gained a vast amount of knowledge from this abandoned ship. Because of that, we can determine that some lifeforms from beyond this realm possess powers that do not exist in this world—what I call... the aura of the starry sky.”
After the Elven Queen finished speaking, the voice of the brain bug immediately echoed in Xia Jin’s mind: “I sense the aura of a cosmic civilization from the elven race. it comes from that great tree in the distance, but it does not seem to be the main body; it is merely a branch.”
