YM778.TV Chapter 222: Chapter222：Dinner Conflict
The Life Water he provided had greatly aided the Elven Homeland, so a dinner invitation was expected.
The same-day invitation seemed a bit rushed.
But with days still left before the trial space opened, Enzo nodded and stored the mysterious beast hide, bronze key, and Mithril Crystal Key into his miniature world. "Since they\'ve invited us, we should go. We might gain additional benefits."
Eve agreed with this thought.
Time passed quickly, and nightfall arrived.
As dusk set in, Jennings came again to open the spatial portal. He led Enzo and Eve through a maze-like corridor and opened a door at its end, exiting the spatial passage.
The three emerged.
And Jennings introduced, "We\'re at the highest point of Elven Homeland, where the sacred mountain of the elven race is located. The banquet will be held here."
Enzo looked ahead and saw neatly arranged tables and chairs.
On the long table were various supernatural fruits.
As well as foods made from the essence of various supernatural creatures, with several giant crystals as decorations, indicating the high standard of the banquet.
This piqued Enzo\'s curiosity about who the elves might be hosting.
It soon became clear to Enzo something.
He and Eve were likely added to the guest list midway.
Shortly after, people began to arrive one after another, all of whom were incredibly powerful, at least on par with Andrew.
One of the bear tribe men gave Enzo a familiar feeling.His appearance was similar to that of the bear tribe man who had described the trial space, suggesting a possible blood relation between them.
After a while, Jennings led Enzo and Eve to their seats.
The Elven Queen Daphne of the elves stood up, dressed in ceremonial attire, her presence radiant. She addressed the assembly, saying, "Esteemed guests, on behalf of the Elven Homeland, I welcome you all. This banquet is primarily to address the anomalies observed in this supernatural trial."
"What kind of anomalies?" someone asked.
Daphne\'s expression grew serious as she replied, "According to statistics from the Elven Homeland, the number of supernatural Trial Crystals this time has exceeded fifty thousand.
Furthermore, entering the trial space no longer requires using the trial path.One can simply infuse energy into a Trial Crystal to enter."
This news stirred a commotion among the guests.
The attendees were high-ranking members of major forces, with a deeper understanding of the world than many others, but they only had a limited grasp of supernatural trials.
However, one thing was clear.Supernatural trials were crucial!
They were directly linked to future achievements.
At this moment, the bear tribe man asked, "Lady Daphne, could you provide the specific timing of these changes?"
Daphne nodded.
And she responded, "Based on our recent investigations, the cause of these changes likely stems from two events occurring in two different locations, and coincidentally, their timing is almost identical."
"The first event is in the northern part of Dark Night Forest, in the Blue Agate River area, where a temporal illusion has appeared. According to the clues we have, a woman named Norma took away a Unicorn Thunder Shark with mythical bloodline."
"The second event is from Snow Fox Territory."
"The newly born princess of Snow Fox Territory has disappeared, not through abduction, but by entering multiple layers of space."
"These two events occurred almost simultaneously."
"Soon after, the supernatural Trial Crystals began to appear in large numbers."
Upon hearing this, Enzo was deeply shaken.
Norma! Amy!
The news Elven Queen Daphne shared was all related to people close to Enzo. He wondered if this matter had anything to do with Profaner Melokuhle.
He couldn\'t be sure.
The only good news was that Norma was likely safe and had probably escaped the mysterious space.
Amy also seemed to be out of danger.
Noticing Enzo\'s emotional turmoil, Eve reassured him, "Everything will be fine."
Enzo nodded slightly.
At the long table, someone spoke up again, "Lady Daphne, the information you\'ve provided is only a general overview. It could be mere coincidence and doesn\'t necessarily explain the true nature of the changes in the supernatural trials."
After this person finished speaking, another stood up.
He addressed the assembly with a smile, "Everyone, no matter how much we discuss the reasons behind the changes in the supernatural trials today, we might not reach a conclusion. However, there is an issue outside of this banquet that needs addressing.
My Yellow Scorpion Tribe controls the Dune Territory. Though it may not be a significant place, we Yellow Scorpion Tribe members are not ones to be bullied."
"Lady Daphne, I appreciate you bringing this fellow here."
With that, a giant yellow sand hand appeared behind the man and reached out toward Enzo and Eve.
Daphne\'s face turned pale with anger as she coldly questioned, "Hubbard, what do you mean by this? Do you intend to attack a distinguished guest from Elven Homeland?"
Hubbard snorted and retorted, "This brat has insulted Farrell, and that is an insult to my Yellow Scorpion Tribe!"
As he spoke, he took action again.
A massive hand made of yellow sand reached out toward Enzo.
Daphne prepared to intervene once more, but before she could act, Enzo spoke up, "Wait a moment."
Everyone was stunned.
Enzo slowly stood up, his eyes turning red as he looked at Hubbard and asked, "What is your relationship with Farrell?"
Hubbard responded, "Farrell is the most outstanding genius of my Yellow Scorpion Tribe and the pride of my family, Hubbard. Brat, publicly insulting Farrell means—"
Smack!
Enzo\'s figure suddenly appeared in front of Hubbard, and he slapped him across the face.
The slap left Hubbard dazed.
Enzo then used space traversal to return to his original position and said to Hubbard, "Continue speaking. But I hope you can explain in detail how I supposedly insulted Farrell. Do you think that refusing to answer a question is an insult?"
Hubbard came back to his senses at this point.
He felt a sharp, fiery pain on his face, which drove him into a fit of rage. He roared at Enzo, "You filthy insect, how dare you hit me! I... I want you dead!"
Hubbard was utterly enraged.
A massive cloud of yellow sand emerged behind him, coalescing into a giant desert scorpion.
The banquet was thrown into chaos.
Daphne, equally furious, dismissed the desert scorpion Hubbard had summoned with a wave of her hand and demanded, "Hubbard, are you intending to be an enemy of my Elven race?"
Hubbard dared not answer.
But Hubbard still held his head high and said, "Ms. Daphne, I only wish to seek justice for Farrell. Because of this brat, Farrell is in such a poor state that he may not be able to participate in the supernatural trials. And all of this is caused by this brat!"
Hubbard shifted all the blame onto Enzo.
It seem to the others that Enzo was a villain.
However, Jennings, who knew the details of the situation, stood up to explain to everyone, "Earlier this morning, Enzo brought an important item for the Elven race, and I personally took him to meet the Elven Queen.
Farrell, curious about this, attempted to investigate and offered only two bottles of Elves Water as compensation. Mr. Enzo refused the offer. Farrell, embarrassed and angry, mocked Enzo for not knowing the effects of Elves Water.
In response, Mr. Enzo gave him a bottle of Life Water and then poured it on the ground..."
Jennings glanced at Enzo with a hint of regret.
Life Water was extremely precious, and to see it wasted like that was reckless.
But this guy actually chose to dump it directly, it was really reckless.
Jennings continued, "Because of this incident, Farrell was ridiculed, which he found hard to accept, leading to his current state of depression."
The complete recounting of the incident led everyone\'s gaze to turn toward Hubbard.
They inwardly mocked him.
At this time, the Yellow Scorpion Tribe had made a disgraceful blunder.
However, they underestimated Hubbard\'s recklessness. He was well aware of the full story but was unwilling to accept Farrell\'s current condition. More importantly, Enzo\'s casual disposal of Life Water hinted that he might possess even more of it.
Therefore, Hubbard intended to take a risk.
He had already figured out Enzo\'s appearance and didn\'t expect to coincidentally meet him at the banquet.
This made it difficult for Hubbard to suppress his greed and launch a reckless attack, but the truth was revealed and he himself was ruined.
Hubbard became completely insane as a result.
"Die!"
No one expected Hubbard\'s next move. He was incredibly fast and came to Enzo in an instant, reaching out to grab Enzo\'s throat.
But Hubbard grasped at empty air. It was merely Enzo\'s afterimage.
At that moment, Hubbard sensed danger and quickly attempted to evade, only to be struck by Enzo\'s fist on the head.
The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.
They had not expected that Hubbard, who had been so aggressive, would be the one knocked to the ground.
The Elven Queen Daphne of the Elves watched with a peculiar expression, her gaze lingering on the blood-red armor Enzo wore.
Enzo approached Hubbard, lifting him with visible disdain.
He said coldly, "Hubbard, it seems you\'re slightly better than Farrell. However, if you think you can cause trouble for me, you\'ve picked the wrong person!"
Enzo never showed mercy to his enemies.
His palm was covered with blood red armor plates, and then he suddenly punched Hubbard in the heart, piercing his body directly. Hubbard\'s eyes instantly lost color, and his body fell to the ground.
The scene made everyone at the banquet break into cold sweat.
This guy was actually at Level 7!
