At this moment.
All the elves were staring at Lin Tian, not daring to blink their eyes.
Because this was the moment that determined the future and destiny of the entire kingdom.
They had already paid the most precious thing for thousands and tens of thousands of years for this!
That was dignity!
Although they had been plundered, enslaved, sold and toyed with by various races before.
But those were not their true inner thoughts, and they still retained their trampled and shattered dignity.
Now, they had voluntarily abandoned the dignity they had never let go of for tens of thousands of years.
How could they not care?
Lin Tian looked at those graceful dark elves, they were indeed so beautiful that it made one feel weak.
If he got involved with them, his lifespan would be reduced by decades.
He couldn't delay important matters just because he liked helping others.
"I appreciate your kind intentions, and although I usually like to help others, regarding the future of the elf kingdom, I said we are allies. When you encounter problems, I will help solve them immediately. You can rest assured."
Lin Tian spoke with righteous words.
For a moment.
In the eyes of all the elves, his originally short stature suddenly became tall and imposing!
The elves who were originally pretending to panic and scatter all froze in place.
Some even covered their mouths and cried with emotion!
The Elf Queen trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief, murmuring, "I didn't expect... even when we voluntarily abandoned our dignity, it could still be trampled and shattered. Is this the power of a noble and sacred soul!"
She had originally wanted to design a trap to lure Lin Tian into a gentle embrace.
But such a noble and sacred soul could not be trapped!
Rita's eyes were full of self-blame, "Your Majesty, I feel guilty. I want to apologize to His Majesty the Goblin..."
They were insulting a noble soul!
They were committing a crime!
They were falling into depravity!
"Never mind, we can make amends slowly."
The Elf Queen stopped her and sighed.
She looked around at the surrounding elf residents, her eyes seeming to say: Do you see? This is a reliable goblin worth entrusting, a goblin with a noble soul!
"I'm so moved, I really want to bear his children!"
"I really want to marry him!"
"If possible, I really want to try pursuing such a noble and sacred soul!"
"Being with such a Goblin Majesty would be my honor, it would be purification!"
A group of elves said excitedly.
Their eyes looking at Lin Tian were full of excitement and love!
This was from the heart!
The dark elf was so ashamed that she knelt on the ground, full of shame, "I'm... I'm sorry, sorry Your Majesty Goblin, I actually wanted to defile such a sacred and noble soul, wuu wuu wuu!"
She never thought that someone could resist their temptation.
And her actions were simply shameful!
Lin Tian slowly walked to her side and helped her up, "Get up quickly. With me here, you don't need to bow down to anyone, except your queen. She has almost sacrificed her life for the elf kingdom and is worthy of worship."
"Ah ah..."
The dark elf's voice trembled, and her whole body turned to stone.
At this moment.
She seemed to see a deity! She saw the faith deity belonging exclusively to the elf kingdom!!!
So this is what it feels like to have someone to rely on!
"Hiss!"
The surrounding elves gasped even more, feeling their hair stand on end and their hearts almost stop!
So shocking!
For a race that had lived under oppression and fear for tens of thousands of years.
The impact was too intense!
Lin Tian was now the deity of the elf kingdom!
Even the Elf Queen was moved to tears, "Goblin, what a noble, what a magnificent, what a sacred goblin!"
"Let's go, Your Majesty. I also want to try the food of the elf kingdom."
After dismissing these dark elves, Lin Tian turned and said.
The Elf Queen quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, "Yes! Let's go!"
All the elves tacitly followed behind, no longer showing abnormal excitement, but appreciating!
...
Arriving at the palace.
Looking at the table full of delicacies, Lin Tian was quite surprised, "What are all these?"
Obviously they were all vegetarian dishes, but he didn't recognize any of them.
There were 'fern vegetables' emitting a faint blue fluorescence, and finely cut bright red fruits.
There were also root systems of unknown plants similar to lotus roots.
And so on and so forth.
All were vegetarian dishes, but they made one's appetite grow.
"These are all pure natural wild vegetables from the forest. Your Majesty Goblin, please don't be polite. Try this, a very precious plant called Soul Grass."
The Elf Queen picked up a wooden fork, forked a small piece of that blue fluorescent 'fern vegetable' and put it on Lin Tian's plate.
A strong sweet fragrance hit his face.
Lin Tian was already impatient, because from the perspective of cultivation novels, this was undoubtedly heavenly treasures, precious spiritual medicine-level ingredients.
He directly forked it up and began to taste.
It was slightly salty at first, with a chewy texture, then intense sweetness exploded in his mouth, filling his entire oral cavity.
His brain suddenly felt very comfortable, and his memory became noticeably clearer.
Lin Tian couldn't help but sigh, "This dish can actually cleanse the impurities in the brain and enhance mental power!"
"That's right, but it can't be eaten when freshly picked, as it will confuse the brain and cause sluggishness. It needs special preparation."
The Elf Queen's nervous mood relaxed.
Because she was afraid that Lin Tian, being a carnivorous creature, wouldn't be used to vegetarian food.
Hearing this.
Lin Tian asked curiously, "Is that so? Can you tell me the preparation method? I remember there are such plants in many places, I can pick some when the time comes."
Something that could purify the brain and improve memory was good to eat regularly.
At this time, the Elf Queen's face clearly showed some difficulty, "Your Majesty Goblin, regarding the preparation method... why don't you give us what you pick to prepare, and then we'll send it to you."
Oh?
It's a secret recipe?
Lin Tian pretended to be a bit angry, "Your Majesty Queen, is this preparation recipe some precious secret?"
"Hiss, it's not that. I'm just afraid you won't be able to eat it after hearing about it."
The Elf Queen said apologetically.
For a moment.
Lin Tian, who was about to put a piece of Soul Grass in his mouth, stopped.
He looked at this food emitting blue light with great wariness.
Every race has its own characteristics.
Lin Tian knew very well before, just like pig-headed people, who most liked to put all delicious food in a bucket to ferment.
They would eat it after it became smelly and sour.
For them, this was the ultimate delicacy.
He didn't know if the elves had any perverted customs.
The Elf Queen was silent for a while, then finally said, "After picking, this Soul Grass needs to be gently trampled by elf maidens' feet for several hours, so it can fully absorb the special salt secreted by elves, and then... then the toxins that confuse the brain can be transformed into substances that cleanse the brain..."
...
Some elves accompanying the meal all lowered their heads in embarrassment.
They were afraid Lin Tian would feel disgusted.
However.
Lin Tian paused for two seconds, then very naturally put the Soul Grass in his mouth, "It's nothing, I don't mind."
Stunned...
Hearing this, the other elves were all shocked.
They all marveled at how broad Lin Tian's mind was!
Lin Tian not only didn't feel disgusted, but actually felt it was appetizing!
Perhaps the elves thought that things they had stepped on would cause reservations, but for a goblin, this was just adding seasoning to make it more delicious!
"Since Your Majesty Goblin is so tolerant of us elves, let's serve a few more specialty dishes."
The Elf Queen said with great comfort and emotion.
She then clapped her jade hands.
Rita, who was in charge of this banquet, quickly went to the kitchen to give instructions.
Soon.
Three brand new dishes were served.
"The first dish is carrots. Carrots are indeed plain and ordinary, but under our special treatment, they taste incredibly delicious! But..."
The Elf Queen's voice paused.
She said with a complex expression, "It's made mixed with the saliva of elf maidens who have just reached sexual maturity, because the saliva of elves at that age contains a large amount of special hormones, and when combined with carrots, it produces a unique flavor..."
Hearing this.
Lin Tian's heart inevitably fluctuated.
These elves were obviously so holy, yet they invented such dark food!
Of course, this was speaking macroscopically. For him objectively, this was delicacy!
He very naturally used his fork to pick up some carrot shreds and began tasting.
The next second, his whole face bloomed like a flower!
This taste was very unique!
It was like a person who had been thirsty for a long time suddenly drinking sweet dew and eating food!
It made one's whole body tremble and eyes brighten!
And every bite would give this feeling, bringing strong impact to the brain!
Before long, Lin Tian had finished the entire plate of carrots.
Seeing this scene.
Many elves were incredibly moved. A foreigner, even of a different race.
Could actually be so tolerant of them, respecting their customs and characteristics.
The Elf Queen also let go of all her reservations and pointed to a dish beside, "This dish is called 'Sweet Dew Forest'. It's also made with maidens who have just reached sexual maturity..."
Before she finished speaking.
Lin Tian's expression obviously changed, not because he couldn't accept this dish.
But he was very surprised, "This, this is a soup dish! All made with saliva?!"
How much saliva would this dish require?
"You misunderstood. This is just the bathing sweet dew of age-appropriate elf maidens. It's also one of our specialty dishes. Soup made by mixing bathing sweet dew with some vegetables tastes very delicious."
The Elf Queen quickly explained.
Bathing, sweet dew?
Three words came to Lin Tian's mind: bath water.
These elves really knew how to play.
They could develop any kind of dish.
But according to the introduction, it should also contain those secreted special hormones.
Lin Tian used a spoon to scoop some and drank it.
Immediately, the fresh taste of premium precious seafood ingredients spread across his taste buds!
How to describe it - one word: fresh!
That kind of ingredient freshness.
Lin Tian couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Indeed not bad, and very characteristic."
The Elf Queen and others were relieved. They didn't expect Lin Tian wouldn't mind even this. They were about to introduce the next dish.
"Cough cough, I'm about full too."
Lin Tian suddenly stood up.
Although he was very willing to taste the elves' whole bodies, eating in a dining state was somewhat off-putting.
Because the next dish, no matter how you looked at it, wasn't anything good.
It was bloody and he didn't dare to think about it.
The Elf Queen and others were very enthusiastic, "Your Majesty Goblin, please try some more. This last dish can be said to be very rare. It has been passed down for thousands of years in our elf kingdom! Many people might only eat it once in their lifetime. It's every elf's first..."
Lin Tian quickly interrupted, "Wait, I'm really full. Look at my build, I have a very small appetite."
Seeing him decline so much.
The Elf Queen and others couldn't force him, "What a pity. The ingredients for this dish are very hard to find. But if Your Majesty Goblin wants to eat it in the future, we will definitely try our best to satisfy you."
"Well, thank you so much for your kindness."
Lin Tian squeezed out a bitter smile.
No matter how you looked at it, these elves were breathtakingly beautiful. Why were they so dark when it came to cooking?
He didn't dare to think about what that bloody dish was made of.
Then.
The Elf Queen prepared to lead Lin Tian to tour the beautiful scenery of the Holy Mountain, "Your Majesty Goblin, let's take a walk and digest. Many of the Holy Mountain's scenery doesn't exist elsewhere, especially at night."
Lin Tian looked outside - it was already evening.
He agreed.
Along the way.
Lin Tian also deeply understood elf culture, which was very novel and interesting, and every elf was extremely enthusiastic and respectful toward him.
The scenery was also very memorable.
First was the moving garden. In this season, female treants with huge flowers on their heads walked through the forest looking for male treants. It was very spectacular.
There was also the 'Fairy Bird Bridge' which Lin Tian found very surprising.
Even though his experiences were already unbelievable and shocking.
But walking on a bridge formed by those birds still made him feel amazed.
The birds seemed very happy to let the elves step on them.
Lin Tian just experienced it incidentally.
There was also the 'Strange Stone Maze' formed by stone giants, giant fairy statues grown from vines, and so on.
One had to marvel at the vastness and diversity of this Holy Mountain.
Soon.
Night fell.
Under the guidance of the Elf Queen and others, Lin Tian came to a wilderness.
"Your Majesty Goblin, you will soon see the magnificent view unique to our Holy Mountain. We call it the second starry sky~"
The Elf Queen's beautiful face was full of smiles as she pointed ahead.
Lin Tian looked curiously.
Because he could see at night, he found that in the wilderness, there seemed to be densely packed small insects gathering.
Suddenly.
A point of light flashed.
Then there were two points, ten points, thousands of points, tens of thousands of points, hundreds of thousands of points!
Hundreds of thousands of fireflies' light flickered bright and dim in the wilderness ahead.
Just like the starry sky!
Because there was no modern development, the stars in this world were very bright.
Lin Tian looked at this firefly star sea, then looked up at the real starry sky - they were almost identical!
Just as he was immersed in it.
The Elf Queen's voice came to Lin Tian's ear, "Your Majesty Goblin, if you are willing, I want to follow you forever. This time, it's from my heart~"
Before, it was simply because she fancied Lin Tian's power and influence.
But after today's series of operations.
She was completely moved and attracted by Lin Tian's noble and sacred soul.
Not only herself, she even planned to directly entrust the entire elf kingdom to him.
