King of Glory: Catch All the Female Heroes

Chapter 287 The Wise High Priest

After hearing the words of the elven high priest, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

Just now Zhang Cheng was just fooling around out of habit, he didn't expect that it would lead to a thousand-year-old legend.

As a result, Zhang Chengdu felt a little embarrassed.

"High Priest, I..."

Before Zhang Cheng could finish his words, the high priest continued, "The elves have endured too many hardships. We thought that the elves would not be able to escape this disaster and would eventually perish completely like the dwarves in history."

"The prophecy that has been circulating for thousands of years has come true. We the elves should not die."

"Thanks to the protection of the Laurel Tree, and thanks to Irene for bringing hope back to Laurel Valley."

"Master Zhang, you and Irene are destined to be together. If you have no objection, I can personally preside over your wedding. You can become husband and wife under the witness of the sacred laurel tree."

Happiness comes too suddenly.

Even Kuangtie and Yalian who were standing by couldn't help but cast envious glances towards Zhang Cheng.

Jin Chan was relatively sober. He walked to Zhang Cheng's side and whispered to him, "This seems to be a good thing, but as long as you marry Irene, you will not be able to abandon the elves' affairs. From now on, you will be completely tied to the elves."

"At the same time, you will bear the hope of the elves. Once the black fog is dispelled, you will have no way out."

Zhang Cheng glanced at Jin Chan, then at Irene, whose face was red. Finally, Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Everything is decided by the high priest."

If Zhang Cheng didn't have the system and didn't need to complete the wishing bottle mission, he wouldn't even be willing to come to the Golden Forest and wade into this muddy water.

Now that he has arrived in the Golden Forest, Zhang Ben has no way to retreat.

Anyway, we have to help the elves solve the crisis, so there is no pressure to capture Irene.

"Okay, I'll tidy up Laurel Valley today, and I'll help you prepare for the wedding tomorrow."

After the high priest finished speaking, he took Irene's hand and walked away.

Zhang Cheng and others, at the invitation of the other elves, walked into the Laurel Valley together.

As Irene and the high priest walked to a deserted place, Irene could not help but whisper to the high priest: "High priest, is there really a rumor about our elves that you just mentioned?"

Irene was very confused now.

As a princess of the elves and the next high priest, Irene had never heard of the legend about speaking to the laurel tree.

"Zhang Cheng and I lied about this matter. Our elves don't have the legends I mentioned, and Zhang Cheng couldn't have heard the words of the Laurel Tree."

After hearing what the high priest said, Irene became even more confused.

"High Priest, you have always hated humans. You once told me that humans are all bad people and their ambitions can swallow up the entire Golden Forest."

"Zhang Cheng is also a human being. If you are so disgusted with humans, why did you want to facilitate my marriage with Zhang Cheng?"

The high priest took a step forward and walked in front of Irene. He reached out and rubbed Irene's head. The high priest then sighed and said, "I can feel that you have a good impression of Zhang Cheng."

"But this must not be the reason why the high priest made the arrangement."

The high priest nodded slightly, and then said: "I can see that Zhang Cheng is slightly different from other humans. The elves are unlikely to survive this crisis."

"Erin, your future no longer belongs to Laurel Valley. You are the most talented elf in the history of the elves. I hope to make an arrangement for you before I die."

"There is no doubt that Zhang Cheng is a trustworthy person. Only when I hand you over to Zhang Cheng will I feel truly relieved."

"High Priest, we the elves..."

This time, before Irene could finish her words, the high priest gently waved his hand at her and said, "I've told you before that life and death are both very normal things."

"Don't be too happy about life, and don't be too sad about death."

"Erin, even if the elves are completely destroyed, you must live well with Zhang Cheng."

Irene took a deep breath and asked the high priest again: "High priest, why are you so optimistic about Zhang Cheng? Aren't you worried that Zhang Cheng is as ambitious as the others?"

The high priest walked towards the room with his hands behind his back, and asked Irene without turning his head: "Irene, what is the name of the girl in blue who is following Zhang Cheng?"

"There are two women around Zhang Cheng who like to wear blue clothes. The one whose skirt shows her knees is Duo Liya, and the other one is Zhen Ji."

"Then do you know Doria's true identity?"

This time, after listening to the high priest's words, Irene shook her head gently.

In Irene's eyes, Doria is just a simple-minded girl. Irene can't think of any other identity Doria has?

"It seems that you don't know Doria's true identity."

The high priest smiled at Irene and continued, "If I am not mistaken, this little girl named Doria is the princess of the mermaid clan."

"The mermaid clan?"

Irene's eyes widened instantly when she heard the high priest's words.

The mermaids, like the elves, are also the indigenous people of the King's Continent and have a very long history.

The mermaids are more powerful than the elves.

Because they have longer lifespans, they have fewer natural enemies living in the ocean.

"The mermaid princess has a pair of eyes that can distinguish good from evil. The fact that Doria is by Zhang Cheng's side is enough to prove that Zhang Cheng is a good person."

"Any human who can be recognized by the mermaid princess can also be recognized by me."

"Erin, Zhang Cheng is a very good choice."

After hearing the high priest's words, Irene felt a trace of sadness in her heart.

"High Priest, you don't have to worry about my future. Brother Zhang will definitely help the elves get through this crisis. He is very powerful. He is also very knowledgeable and erudite."

"In addition to Brother Zhang, there are also Zhu Bajie and Jin Chan. They both have the strength of the King level. They can definitely protect our elves."

The high priest waved his hand gently at Irene and said, "Irene, we must put the problem in the most serious position."

Before Irene could continue speaking, the high priest rubbed Irene's head and said, "With the protection of the sacred laurel tree, I believe we can turn danger into safety this time."

"Well, your friends are waiting for you. You should go and entertain them."

"Oh, by the way, keep an eye on them. Don't let them drink the holy water. The holy water has been affected by the black fog and has undergone some uncontrollable mutations."
