"Kyla Tsurai!"
The grass danced with the graceful Luchian. When she saw Kyla Tsurai falling from the sky, her face showed surprise, especially at the pair of white wings on George's back.
"Is that the human hero, George?"
"Heroes do not dare to take credit, just a little help."
George was somewhat regretful that Luchian had not completed her dance, and humbly replied.
Luchian scanned George from head to toe, her eyes brimming with curiosity:
"I've never seen a human before. You are humble. I've heard about you from Angrodel and Aenor."
"They say you made the giant statue move to help in battle, that you can fly, that your magic drove off Sauron, that you killed the dragon and made the host of Melkor retreat back to Angband."
When Angrodel and Aenor recounted these stories to their father, Thengel, Kyla Tsurai left, but she was still there all the time.
She had always lived in the Registan Forest since birth and had never seen the outside world. After Kyla Tsurai told her about the outside world, she has always been full of curiosity about it.
That day, listening to Angrodel and Aenor tell about the heroic deeds of George, the human, she was very interested.
But her father, Thengel, did not believe the words of Angrodel and Aenor, thinking they were spreading lies to get him to send troops.
She was not entirely convinced, but seeing George carrying Kyla Tsurai from the sky just now, she felt that perhaps Angrodel and Aenor had not been lying.
"Is it true or false, and your magic is so powerful?"
Kyla Tsurai's eyes lit up as she looked into George's eyes.
Thinking back to the letter her older brother had written and George's recent use of magic to create wings and fly, she felt a faint sense of realization that perhaps she had underestimated this human.
She had met the earliest humans to migrate with her three brothers a hundred and forty years ago. Those humans were barely clothed, had no own script and language, and were only slightly better than some monkeys.
After that, she came to the Kingdom of the Grey Elves to study and strengthen herself under her great-aunt, Beleriand. Since then, she had never seen humans again.
Therefore, in her biased view, humans were not associated with strength.
It's like you had once seen a group of stray cats, and then after many years, someone suddenly told you that one of the descendants of those stray cats helped humans win a modern war.
That cat invented space-based weapons and effortlessly destroyed the alien spacecraft that had invaded Earth.
It's too absurd.
"Exaggerated some. The retreat of Sauron, Prince Daegel contributed half of the merit. Killing the dragon was also achieved by me and the three princes."
George did not exaggerate his achievements and replied very honestly.
Prince Daegel and Prince Siregor may have exaggerated his achievements to persuade Thengel to send troops. This is not a good thing.
Thengel didn't believe what they said in the first place, and with further exaggeration, it only made it seem more false.
However, if he had the strength, he really could have defeated Sauron and killed the dragon alone at this time.
"That means your magic is really powerful. Can you show it?"
Kyla Tsurai's tone was tinged with excitement.
Everyone in the Kingdom of the Grey Elves, except for Thengel, Beleriand, and Luchian, is not her match.
If George is truly that powerful, then besides the possibility of successfully completing the task her brother entrusted to her, she also has a worthy opponent to spar with regularly. How could that not make her happy?
Luchian enjoys singing and dancing and does not like battles. She cannot go sparring with her great-grandfather or great-aunt, and there is no one else in Elvenhome who can match her. Therefore, she finds her days to be rather dull.
Hearing Kyla Tsurai's words, Luchian's face also showed an expectant look.
She also wants to see what human magic is like, whether it's as magical as what Angrodel and Aenor had said.
"Of course, but not now, nor here."
I would like to invite the Grey Elves to exchange magic at my school, and I also hope that Your Majesty is willing to send troops to join in fighting against Melkor's forces.
So I will show my magic to Your Majesty shortly, so that he can believe that what the two princes said was not a lie.
George replied with a smile.
"It makes sense, let's go find Thengel right away."
Luchian, you must definitely help me say some good things to Thengel in front of him. He always listens to you the most."
Kyla Tsurai's eyes twinkled, and she threw her arm around Luchian's and started to pout.
Luchian replied with a hint of helplessness:
"I'm afraid it will be difficult. There are many concerns on Thengel's side, and the nobles are not willing to go to war."
"The saying goes that Elves without long-term plans will surely face short-term troubles."
If one only focuses on immediate gains and ignores the potential problems that exist in the future, then it will be too late when the problems erupt."
At this time, George interjected and said something.
Luchian had a significant influence on Thengel. If Luchian was willing to help, there would be an increased chance of convincing Thengel later.
"Elves without long-term plans will surely face short-term troubles – that saying makes a lot of sense. I didn't expect you, as a human with only a few decades of life, to possess such wisdom."
After hearing George's words, Luchian looked at him with an eye that was completely different.
If before it was just curiosity, then now it's added a bit of appreciation.
In fact, when she first saw George, she felt that there was a certain aura about him that attracted her. It was as if he had experienced many things and had a broad outlook.
As a princess of the Grey Elves who has been in the same place for thousands of years, she really likes this kind of aura.
If George could read Luchian's mind at this moment, he would definitely understand why this situation had occurred.
Because his physical form in this world was a human, and had only lived for a few decades, in reality he had multiple forms in many worlds. Their experiences were certainly wonderful and beyond the imagination of people in this world.
This is like how a wealthy maiden, well-raised in seclusion and innocent, will always be attracted to those socially experienced young men.
"I will do my best to persuade the King to send troops."
"I knew you were the best!"
Kyla Tsurai spun Luchian around twice before setting her down.
At this time, Kyla Tsurai had not yet experienced the despair and agony of her brothers and the entire line of Noldor elves, whose skulls were piled up into a mountain by Melkor's forces.
So she was still the proud Elf princess with dreams, who loved battle and honor.
Luchian was obviously used to Kyla Tsurai's behavior and didn't mind it. She just smiled at George and said:
"Come with me, I'll take you straight to my father."
"Thank you, Luchian Princess."
George performed the Elf salute and followed Luchian and Kyla Tsurai.
