This question was also part of the plan.
Ji Chen smiled slightly. “If she told me the surname correctly, then the one I encountered should be a member of your royal family.”
After receiving the confirmation, Miligas became somewhat excited.
This was an elf with royal blood!
The more powerful a being, the harder it was to have offspring, and this was a common trait among most powerful races.
Elves, in particular, had the lowest birthrate among all races.
Over a thousand years ago, there was an internal conflict among the elves, and some members of the royal family, due to ideological differences, took a part of their people and went into hiding.
This unknown royal elf might be one of those who left during that internal conflict, or perhaps a descendant of those who did.
Elves had a long lifespan, and living for a thousand years was not a problem for the high-powered elves.
Even though the elves were prosperous at this time, searching for the whereabouts of the royal elves who had left in the past yielded little results due to the scarcity of information and the passage of time. The empire’s members with royal bloodline were also few, numbering only in the double digits.
If he could bring back a royal member who had been lost in the outside world, it would be a great achievement!
He might even be received personally by the Empress!
This supreme honor was not to be missed.
“Lord Ji Chen, what is the full name of this elf? This question is crucial for us.”
“Her name? It’s Elin Apocalis.”
“Elin?” Miligas was slightly taken aback, and he began to think. Whether it was from his memory or the two thousand years of lineage passed down, there was no mention of this name. Could it really be a newly born elf royal offspring?
However, knowing the name was not enough to prove the existence of this royal bloodline elf.
But then, Ji Chen extended his right hand adorned with the Void Ring, “This is the gift that Elin Apocalis gave me.”
As soon as he saw the Void Ring, Miligas’s gaze was firmly fixed on it.
His heart began to beat intensely once again.
This was definitely not wrong!
There was a noble elf imprint on it, only an elf with tremendous power could leave such a strong aura on an item.
At this point, he was already about seventy to eighty percent sure.
This elf named Elin Apocalis was not one of the royal bloodlines that left during the internal conflict, but a descendant of the royal bloodline!
Ji Chen naturally had no idea what Ambassador Miligas was thinking. If he knew, he would surely have a knowing smile.
Who is Elin if not an ancient elf of a thousand years or maybe a young elf from a noble royal bloodline?
Clearly, she is an elf crone who has lived for thousands of years, at least several generations older than you.
However, judging by Ambassador Miligas’s reaction, Elin did not return to the Elven Empire as he had guessed, otherwise, this elven ambassador would not have been so excited.
Changing the subject, Miligas asked the most important question.
“Your Excellency, do you know where this elf named Elin Apocalis is now?”
“At that time, I only sent her to the Northern Continent and did not accompany her.”
At these words, a hint of disappointment flashed across Miligas’s face, but he continued with some reluctance.
“Did she mention where she was going or reveal any plans?”
“She didn’t say much, just that she wanted to see what the elves are like now and visit some friends.
Other than that, she didn’t leave any information,” Ji Chen shrugged, “As for when she will return, I don’t know.”
“Well, in that case, there’s nothing more we can do,” Miligas conceded with a bitter smile. “I’m sorry for showing such urgency in front of Your Excellency Ji Chen. A newcomer to the royal family holds immense significance for us.
If you encounter her again or have any information about her, please inform us, and we will reward you generously.”
“Of course,” Ji Chen chuckled and changed the topic, “This time I came here, in addition to the previous business, there is also a special product of the Crown of the Ocean that 1 want to show to you to see if you are interested.
It’s an extremely precious deep-sea treasure that is only produced in the middle of the ocean.
Legend has it that in ancient times, only the Ocean Emperor could possess this treasure, and anyone else who privately owned it, once discovered, would be ordered to be beheaded and the treasure confiscated for the royal treasury.
So only the most noble of the strong can possess it.”
Hearing Ji Chen’s words, Miligas was curious. As the Ambassador of the Silvermoon Dynasty in the Maple Principality, he was already an elf noble with hundreds of years of experience, and he had broad knowledge. What rare things had he not seen before?
Ocean Treasure?
This kind of thing seemed more like a marketing ploy, designed to attract buyers. If it were placed in the hands of an ordinary merchant, they would surely sneer at it and dismiss it as insignificant.
But the one saying this was Ji Chen. From this brief encounter, Miligas also realized that Ji Chen was not the kind of person who exaggerated.
With this in mind, a hint of interest appeared on Miligas’s face. “Your Excellency Ji Chen, I wonder what this so-called Ocean Treasure is? We elves collect treasures from all over the world, and it can be said that there is nothing we haven’t seen..”
