My queen is rebelling!

(Thanks to book friend "20241224298_eb" for the reward, thank you boss!)

Hearing Cohen say this, Windsor immediately realized the value of this information.

Cohen carefully put away this "Elemental Core Power Furnace", determined to find a few engineers proficient in Arcane Empire script after returning, and build the elemental core power furnace according to the drawings on it.

This conversion furnace is definitely a priceless treasure for the future chaotic and warring continental situation.

Whoever masters this thing is equivalent to using one magic crystal as two magic crystals, directly doubling the energy reserves!

Having a good start, Cohen continued to browse the ancient books below.

The rest are some research results of the Arcane Empire Research Institute on ancient elven culture.

Most of it is still ancient elven script, and even mixed with some of the lost sun elf script. Cohen couldn't understand it very well, but Windsor was fascinated by it.

Windsor looked at it for a while and said:

"There are two parts of things here that I feel are useful to you."

Windsor pointed to a golden book beside her and continued:

"This part records the ancient elven magic circle, one of which has the effect of long-distance teleportation, which you should be more interested in.

But it requires a lot of time to decipher and research."

Long-distance teleportation array!

Cohen's expression moved slightly, and he became interested!

Although long-distance teleportation can now be performed through some means, on the one hand, this method is too expensive, generally requiring a Saint-level powerhouse to take action, and on the other hand, the number of people that can be teleported each time is too small, which is not of great significance.

Cohen had heard that there was a long-distance teleportation array in ancient times that could transport troops on a large scale, which could play an unexpected role in the battle at critical moments.

Windsor looked at it for a while and said with certainty:

"That's right, it is indeed the arrangement method of the long-distance teleportation array, but the content above is too profound. A professional scholar with a high level of mastery of the magic circle must study with me to have a chance to arrange this magic circle.

Moreover, the materials for arranging the magic circle are also very rare. Some materials use the names of ancient times, and it is also necessary to find a scholar who is proficient in ancient history."

Cohen immediately said:

"I have already recruited scholars who are proficient in ancient history in advance. The Effain Research Institute has a group of scholars who specialize in the history of the Arcane Empire and the ancient elves. As for the magic circle master… what do you think of the Queen?"

Windsor nodded and said:

"I have also heard about Yadel's talent in magic circles. If she has time to study with me in depth, there should be no problem."

After talking about the teleportation array, Windsor pointed to another part of the blue books and said:

"These are mainly used in the military.

Some are lost ancient elven music that can amplify the morale and willpower attributes of the army, and the other is magic forging, war pet training, magic potion science, and the like."

Cohen immediately said:

"That's right, they are all direct means to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. The magic forging skills will be directly sent to the dwarven melting pot tribe for them to study.

The rest will be directly applied to the army after decryption."

Finally, Cohen scavenged the research results and materials left by the research institute. The rest was to continue exploring this mysterious ancient elven tomb.

Walking deeper along the tomb passage, they soon came to a stele forest with emerald carvings, which was covered with ancient elven characters and patterns.

Windsor said:

"Don't touch the jade stele above. There should be magic traps and mechanisms set up under each jade stele."

The two tiptoed through the stele forest. Suddenly, in an inconspicuous corner, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.

Cohen instantly noticed the abnormality, looked back, his heart tightened, and pulled Windsor back quickly.

Then there was a loud bang, and the scarlet eyes began to rise rapidly until they fully revealed their figure.

Sure enough, before Windsor finished speaking, four more pairs of equally scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness. For a time, five clay golems with the peak level of the ninth level surrounded the two of them.

Windsor spread her wings behind her and was about to fly away with Cohen when a strange light flashed above the dome, and the entire space seemed to fall into chaos.

As far as the eye could see, the dust that was originally falling vertically began to drift erratically, like elves who had lost their direction.

The stones and fragments in the tomb also began to slowly float up, some standing still in the air, and some moving slowly in a strange trajectory.

Then, both of them felt a huge gravity coming, and their bodies were as heavy as lead, unable to move.

Just as the two were resisting this sudden pressure with magic, the pressure on their bodies suddenly disappeared, and their entire bodies instantly became as light as a feather, and they fell forward.

The drastic changes in gravity made it impossible for the two to even stand normally.

Windsor frowned and said in a low voice:

"Gravity disordered area, this is the mechanism set up here. Those clay golems have gravity stones on them, which can offset the influence of the area."

Before Cohen could consider the next step, Windsor took out two bracelets from her arms and handed one of them to Cohen. After Cohen put it on, he instantly felt that gravity had returned to normal.

Then Windsor grabbed Cohen and escaped before the encirclement closed.

After arriving in a safe place, Windsor obviously became much more silent and different. Cohen naturally noticed something was wrong. After a brief silence, he asked:

"If I guessed correctly, these two bracelets were also given to you by your elf queen?"

A strange look appeared on Windsor's face, and she nodded slowly:

"That's right, it was a magic item given to me when I was a child. It just so happens to be a pair, one for a man and one for a woman, saying that I should give it to my future husband.

The bracelet can reset the gravity field around itself,不受任何外部因素干扰.

Coupled with the outstanding talent of the Winged Elves, although I am only at the seventh level now, in terms of speed, even the legendary level cannot catch up with me."

Cohen narrowed his eyes slightly and said the speculation in his heart:

"Could it be that your contemporary elf queen has also been here?

The Nightmare Mist Illusion is not just us who have experienced it. Maybe she has also been here and saw the scene we saw before in the Nightmare Mist Illusion, knowing that there is an ancient elven tomb below."

Windsor obviously had this speculation in her heart, otherwise there would be no way to explain why the Queen had seemingly casually taught her how to solve every mechanism trap in this slumbering cave.

After a brief silence, Windsor said:

"Then why did she tell me?

Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept in one's heart and monopolized alone?"

Many guesses emerged in Cohen's heart, and even some bad ideas, but he didn't know how Windsor's relationship with the current elf queen was, and he couldn't speak out without authorization, hurting Windsor's heart.

Putting away his guess, he said:

"Don't think so much, just ask her in person when you have the opportunity in the future."

Windsor nodded slightly, also suppressing the churning emotions in her heart, and the two continued to move forward.

As the tomb deepened, the traps and mechanisms along the way became more and more numerous, such as elemental sandstorm traps, life-absorbing vines, magic backflow storms, and so on. Seven or eight of the ten major mechanisms of the ancient elves directly appeared.

If it weren't for Windsor's childhood teachings from the Elf Queen, and a way to successfully pass these traps and mechanisms, Cohen would have dragged her into the Shadow Plane to run away.

Finally, after all the dangers, they came to the front of the main tomb chamber.

Cohen looked at the main tomb chamber in front of him and said softly:

"The main tomb chamber should not have been able to be broken into by the Arcane Empire and the Sun Elves at that time, but because of this, the inside should be the most complete preserved."

At this moment, Windsor no longer thought about why the Elf Queen would have taught her so much about how to crack the slumbering cave in her childhood.

Since she has come to this point, she wants to go in and see what is in the main tomb chamber.

The main tomb chamber door is painted with complex star track patterns. Windsor looked at it for a moment and said:

"This is also a magic circle. To be precise, this is a magic circle personally arranged by the tomb owner with his own blood. Unless you can find the blood of Queen Velethis, you can't open it at all."

Cohen looked stunned and asked:

"That is to say, our journey ends here?"

Windsor narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a low voice:

"Logically speaking, that's the case, but…"

She unbuttoned her collar, revealing her fair and delicate skin, took out a beautiful necklace inlaid with rubies from between her plump breasts, and pondered:

"Her Majesty the Queen told me that this necklace seals the blood of an ancient supreme powerhouse, which can save my life at a critical moment. If I guessed correctly…"

Cohen's heart vibrated inexplicably, and he replied in a deep voice:

"You mean, the ancient supreme powerhouse that the Elf Queen said is the first Queen, Velethis the Destroyer?"

Windsor's eyes flickered, staring at the mysterious star track of the main tomb chamber, and the thoughts she had just suppressed began to churn violently again.

Cohen pondered for a moment and asked:

"How did you get to know the Elf Queen when you were a child?

I think that even with your identity as a royal family of the Winged Elves, it is not so easy to get in touch with the Elf Queen."

Windsor raised her head slightly, a look of memory appeared in her eyes, and she said:

"At that time, Her Majesty the Queen was sorting out the culture and history of the ancient elves and needed to recruit an assistant, and she especially emphasized that it was an elf in her childhood, saying that she wanted to train a few successors.

The Queen's recruitment was sent to all the elven races. Basically, those who responded were the royal children of each race. My parents were busy with work in the clan at the time, so they sent me over.

After several rounds of screening, I was finally determined.

I did learn a lot from Her Majesty the Queen, but later, Her Majesty the Queen suddenly disappeared for a while, and when she reappeared, she obviously didn't teach as carefully as before.

At that time, I gradually became an adult and was no longer suitable to stay with Her Majesty the Queen, so I left."

Cohen narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Initially, this Elf Queen was clearly using the guise of taking a disciple to cultivate an heir who could help her explore the Sleeping Cave.

But why didn't she go herself?

Even if the Elf Queen's strength was low, she should still be at the Legendary level. If she didn't dare to go with that strength, did she plan to wait until she cultivated a Saint to go in her place?

When that time came, wouldn't the Saint just take the treasure for themselves?

That was the first suspicious point. Even more suspicious was the second: why did she change her plans after being away for a while?

Where did she go during that disappearance, and what happened during that time that made her change her mind?

Also, where did she get that drop of blood essence from the First Queen, Vereesa?

Cohen looked up at Windsor, asking:

"What level of Transcendent is your Elf Queen now?"

Windsor replied:

"When I left her, she already had the strength of a mid-stage Legendary. Now, I estimate she should be close to the Saint level.

I'm not too sure, though. After adulthood, I've always stayed in the Central Empire, rarely even returning to my clan, let alone seeing Her Majesty the Queen."

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly, asking:

"Legendary level, huh? Have you ever personally seen her take action?"

Windsor gave Cohen a strange look, saying:

"When would Her Majesty the Queen ever need to take action personally?

She is the symbol of our Elven race. No one would dare to attack her. Just looking at her aura, it's clear that she far surpasses the Gold level.

However, when she was elected as Queen, someone should have verified her strength."

"Then when was she elected as Elf Queen?"

Windsor shook her head:

"I don't know about that. Anyway, I heard from my parents that when they were young, Her Majesty the Queen was already the Elf Queen."

Cohen fell into deep thought. In other words, the current Elf Queen's strength was a mystery. She only appeared to have the level of a Legendary, but no one had, or dared to, personally verify the Queen's true strength.

Perhaps she wanted to cultivate Windsor before because her own strength was insufficient. After leaving for a period of time, her strength became sufficient, so she abandoned Windsor as an option.

The key was what happened during the time she was away that allowed her strength to increase so much.

Cohen asked Windsor:

"Windsor, can you recall anything that happened in the Elven race or on the human continent during the time that your Queen disappeared?"

Windsor frowned, thinking for a moment, before slowly saying:

"To say what happened... Oh, right, the most ancient Tree of Life in our Elven Holy Land, the Forest of Life, withered and died. Moreover, many other ancient trees also showed varying degrees of life force decline.

This matter caused quite a stir at the time."

The Tree of Life withered and died?

Cohen felt that he had vaguely grasped a clue, but there was still a cloud of mist shrouding his eyes, making it difficult to see clearly.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning crossed his mind. What if the Elf Queen's strength didn't increase, but recovered!

Before, it wasn't that her strength couldn't reach the required level, but that she had injuries, even fatal injuries, so she couldn't personally go to the Sleeping Cave and could only cultivate a student to go in her place.

But later, her injuries improved, and she recovered her strength, so she abandoned her previous plan.

What could have promoted the improvement of her injuries... the Tree of Life!

Cohen immediately asked:

"Windsor, who is guarding the Forest of Life?"

Windsor couldn't quite keep up with Cohen's jumping thoughts and replied:

"Previously, representatives from various Elven clans took turns guarding it. After the death of the ancient tree, the Elf Queen personally took over."

Cohen pursed his lips deeply and continued to ask:

"Why did the Elf Queen have to guard it? Did she volunteer?"

Windsor replied:

"Not really, because at the time, many other ancient trees showed signs of declining life force, and the entire Elven race was helpless.

Coincidentally, Her Majesty the Queen was studying the history of the ancient Elven race and had a lot of experience in cultivating the Tree of Life. Under her care, the condition of the ancient trees improved again.

After some discussion, the clans simply let Her Majesty the Queen be responsible for guarding the Forest of Life."

A flash of lightning crossed Cohen's mind. What guarding? She was probably stealing!

This current Elf Queen was very suspicious!

Cohen suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart and looked towards the main tomb chamber door. Perhaps the answer to everything was inside!

Windsor's expression also became much more serious, and she untied the ruby on her necklace.

The star track on the main tomb chamber door suddenly began to flow slowly. The faint blue light reflected the ruby, like a sleeping heart of crimson flames.

In an instant, the entire ruby turned into a dazzling streak of bloody light, whistling towards the main tomb chamber door.

The bloody light accurately injected into the very center of the star track pattern on the door, quickly spreading along the veins of the star track. The entire track was dyed a fiery crimson, and the light was brilliant, illuminating the entire tomb chamber like a bloody purgatory.

The huge star track seemed to come alive, slowly rotating, countless stars flowing on it, constellations shifting, reflecting each other, combining into a mysterious and bizarre star chart, flickering in the void.

A powerful wave of energy, centered on the star chart, oscillated around like ripples, accompanied by a muffled, thunderous rumble. The huge main tomb chamber door slowly opened to both sides, and an ancient and vicissitudinous aura rushed towards them. At the same time, an even more intense invisible wave rapidly spread towards the Elven Holy Land.

......

In the Forest of Life, the Elf Queen, who was healing, suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with horror--how could her main tomb chamber be opened!

Suddenly, she recalled a past event that made her scalp tingle!

Her Majesty the Queen thought at the time that her injuries could not be cured, so she cultivated a student, thinking of having her run errands for her in the future and take out the things in the Sleeping Cave.

Later, by chance, she obtained an Ancient Tree Heart, and her injuries were stabilized, and even showed signs of getting better and better, so she abandoned this plan.

That student... seemed to be a little girl from the Winged Elves, named Windsor!

The Elf Queen's delicate body trembled violently, and she couldn't help but open her red lips slightly. How could it be such a coincidence!

Although she taught Windsor many ways to crack the mechanisms, and gave her a drop of her own blood essence, and even vaguely talked about some information about the Sleeping Cave.

But she never told her the specific location.

Not only was there the ruins of the Arcane Empire to cover it up, but there was even a solid magic barrier. How did she find it and successfully enter?

The Elf Queen's mind was shaken violently. The main tomb chamber contained many of her treasures and inheritances. If someone were to get there first, then her injuries would be completely incurable!

Originally, she wanted to wait until her injuries were more stable and her strength was higher before she went to retrieve them.

Anyway, so many years had passed, so there was no hurry.

She didn't expect that the secret of the Sleeping Cave would be discovered, and it was discovered by the student she had originally taught who was most likely to open the main tomb chamber!

A discarded plan from many years ago had caused such a big crisis!

The Elf Queen vaguely felt the trickery of the God of Destiny on herself!

She bit her red lips lightly, closed her eyes and sensed the injuries in her body, and a trace of determination flashed between her eyebrows. She couldn't wait any longer. If she waited any longer, she was afraid that nothing would be left.

Faced with the inheritance of the First Queen, she didn't believe that Windsor would be indifferent, not to mention that there was also a hateful, dirty dog man following her!

Just thinking about a human male entering her main tomb chamber... that was her former palace!

The Elf Queen couldn't help but tremble!

She had to take a gamble!

The Elf Queen took out a few emerald green fruits that resembled diamonds. These were the Ancient Tree Hearts that she had secretly accumulated over the years. Although they were not old enough, they could temporarily suppress her injuries.

Her Majesty the Queen took a deep breath, opened her red lips slightly, and swallowed all the Ancient Tree Hearts. The aura on her body was obviously much stronger.

The Elf Queen casually broke off a branch of the Tree of Life, waved her hand, and the branch turned into a puppet that looked exactly like her, quietly waiting above the canopy.

After doing all this, a trace of coldness appeared between the Queen's eyebrows, and she turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the Starfall Valley of the Ceylon Kingdom.

......

Cohen and Windsor looked at each other, clasped their hands tightly, interlaced their fingers, and stepped into the main tomb chamber.

Unlike the cold, eerie, and murderous aura outside, entering the main tomb chamber, a warm and moist aura rushed towards them, and even the air was filled with a faint, sweet floral fragrance.

Above the dome of the main tomb chamber, magic crystal ores sparkled like fine stars, sprinkling soft blue light, outlining the dreamlike contours of the interior.

The surrounding walls were covered with strange vines, the leaves shining brightly, showing no signs of being a cold ancient tomb buried deep underground for countless years, but rather a tranquil and elegant Elven residence.

Both of them saw a trace of incredulity in each other's eyes.

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly, closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

"This is... a miniature sub-plane!

Someone used supreme means to transplant a miniature sub-plane into this ancient tomb as the main tomb chamber!"

As for who it was, besides the First Queen Vereesa the Destroyer who had this strength, there would be no one else.

The two continued to move forward. Before long, a tranquil pool blocked their way. The surface of the water shimmered slightly, without the slightest ripple, like a mirror leading to a dreamlike realm.

By the pool, several exquisitely carved stone benches and stone tables were scattered in a well-organized manner. On the table were crystal cups and plates that had long been dried up, as if quietly waiting for the return of their owner. In the corner, there was also an ancient harp, the strings trembling gently in the breeze, emitting ethereal tremolo, like the lingering rhyme of an Elven chant, lingering for a long time.

Cohen clicked his tongue in wonder and said:

"It seems that your First Queen moved her palace to the tomb."

Windsor frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said:

"I remember!

Legend has it that the First Queen's palace was originally a sub-plane. This so-called main tomb chamber should be the First Queen's palace!"
