Chapter 591: Tasting The Phoenix Egg
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“That—”
The elves’ faces were filled with heartache when they saw the fruits on the ground. Many regretted not eating them earlier so that the Elven King would not have the chance to throw the fruits away.
It was not only those elves, but the Elven King also felt his heart ache when he saw the fallen fruits on the ground. However, he endured it and did not show it due to his pride.
“It seems like Your Majesty is not too satisfied with the fruits from our World Tree. It’s our fault for not confirming whether those fruits have ripened or not. As compensation, we’ll take you to visit the breeding farm in Mount Creation later. You’ll be able to taste the freshest Phoenix eggs there.”
Liszt apologized to the elves with a serious expression. Even though he could see that the Elven King was only saying that to keep his dignity intact, he still could not accept his inability to satisfy his guests.
“Phoenix egg? An egg laid by the legendary Phoenix?”
“The number of divine beasts like the Phoenix is even rarer than dragons, and the Phoenix egg is one of the rarest treasures. Its quality is not inferior to the sun and moon fruit that we just ate. We are really lucky.”
The elves looked at each other and began to discuss it excitedly.
When those words reached the ears of the Elven King, he frowned in dissatisfaction. “What’s so rare about Phoenixes? Those who possess the power of supernatural evolution can break through your own bloodline, and you can become Phoenixes yourself! Doesn’t Delta have the Phoenix bloodline?”
“That’s true.”
The elves all looked at Delta and nodded.
“Your Majesty, I—” The corners of Delta’s mouth twitched, and she forced a smile with difficulty. It was true that she had the bloodline of a Phoenix, but there was still a difference between having the bloodline and being a pure Phoenix. At least she did not know how to lay eggs.
“Cut the crap. Let’s take a look at that so-called breeding farm. I hope the things there won’t disappoint me.”
After entering Mount Creation, the Elven King had planned to take over the mountain and the Dragon Palace and use that place as the elves’ base camp to attack the Holy Dragon Kingdom in the future. However, his curiosity was piqued. Could the Phoenix eggs be more powerful than the precious sun and moon fruits?
He did not believe it. He had to try them.
The elves left the World Tree with Liszt and Allen with that thought in mind. They came to a huge palace not far from the World Tree. A high fence surrounded the palace. There was more than one palace inside—there were more than ten palaces of different sizes.
“Is that a breeding farm? I would believe that that is the royal palace.”
An elf whispered about the massive palace in front of him. The palace looked magnificent, and the material on the surface seemed to be rock or metal, making it difficult to distinguish.
As soon as the elf finished his words, the Elven King glared at him, which caused him to shut up.
“It looks pretty gorgeous. I wonder why the farm is so beautiful.” The Elven King muttered and looked at Allen. “You said there are Phoenix eggs here. Where are the eggs?”
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. The Phoenix eggs are in those palaces made of giant rock golems. I’ll ask them to take the Phoenix eggs out now.”
As Allen spoke, he clapped his hands, and the huge palace in front of them began to shake. Thick and sturdy rock legs extended from the ground, supporting the palace as it stood up. At the top of the palace, a giant’s head appeared.
“Those palaces are made up of giant rock golems? Heavens, weren’t they extinct? Why are there so many of them here?”
The elves widened their eyes in disbelief as they looked at what was happening in front of them. What surprised them, even more, was that a huge hole appeared in its chest after the giant stone giant stood up. It revealed hundreds and thousands of Phoenix eggs that piled up inside.
The Phoenix eggs burning with white holy fire had a Phoenix totem on them. The faint cry of a Phoenix echoed in the air, and a rich fragrance appeared with the eggs. The elves subconsciously took a deep breath. They felt like the energy in their bodies was circulating much faster than before.
Even though no elf had ever seen a Phoenix egg before, at that moment, they all had a particular thought. There was no doubt that those were Phoenix eggs in front of them.
“I did not expect a Phoenix egg to be so big. It looks delicious.”
One of the elves wiped the corner of his mouth and took a step forward. If not for the Elven King by his side and Allen and Liszt watching, he would have been eager to enter the interior of the giant rock golem to taste the egg.
“I thought it was very extravagant to use giant rock golems to store the Phoenix Egg, but after seeing the Phoenix Egg, I think it’s worth it,” another elf said.
The Phoenix Egg had such value. It was enough to be stored in a house made of giant rock golems. If it were another place, even in a splendid palace, it would be enough to hold the Phoenix egg.
“The Phoenix Egg is one of Mount Creation’s earliest products. It was before Young Master Watson even built Blackmoon Castle. At that time, after Young Master Watson’s family was just a minor baron—”
Allen pointed at the Phoenix Egg and explained the situation. Seeing that the elves in front of him were already impatient, it was apparent that they were not interested in listening to the history of the Phoenix Egg. That made him smile helplessly as he gestured with his finger. He gave each elf at least three Phoenix eggs.
“In short, the Phoenix eggs are very precious to Mount Creation. You can try them.”
The elves did not hesitate at all. Some crushed the shell and poured the egg liquid into their mouths; some elves did not even break the shell and instantly stuffed the Phoenix Egg into their mouths. They choked in pain, but their faces revealed a look of enjoyment. That truly showed what pain and happiness were.
“As expected of the Phoenix Egg. After consuming it, I feel my body is filled with power, and as if I am much younger.” An elf raised his hands after consuming a Phoenix egg. His hands were initially filled with wrinkles and calluses due to his years of holding weapons. Those wrinkles and calluses had disappeared; his hands had become as soft and smooth as a baby’s.
“Look, I seem to have grown Phoenix Wings.”
An elf cried out in surprise. A pair of Phoenix wings that were burning with flames appeared behind him. With a gentle flap, the temperature of the air immediately rose.
“Consuming Phoenix eggs can increase one’s strength and extend one’s lifespan. Most importantly, it can awaken your Phoenix bloodline,” Liszt explained promptly. His words caused the elves to be pleasantly surprised. They did not expect the Phoenix eggs to be delicious and powerful. Once again, they felt like they had profited from being chosen by the Elven King to come to the border.
While the elves were filled with joy, a group of angels carrying baskets once again walked out of the farm.
“It’s time to collect the Phoenix eggs. Ever since we had the Wish for the World ring, we’ve been collecting the Phoenix eggs every day, and it’s almost impossible to collect them! Now, we have three meals a day, and each meal has at least one Phoenix Egg. I’m getting tired of eating it.”
“Don’t be so picky. Phoenix eggs are precious and delicious. If it were in the past, it would be difficult to eat them once in a lifetime, let alone every meal.”
“I know that Phoenix eggs are very precious, but you will feel bored after eating too much of anything. Furthermore, Emperor Cluck is too good at laying eggs. She can lay at least a thousand Phoenix eggs per day, and with the Wish for the World ring, we’d get at least ten million eggs. Right now, more than half of the spiral stairs are piled high with Phoenix eggs. At least we can discuss it with Emperor Cluck. It would be good if she could lay fewer Phoenix eggs every day.”
A few angels were discussing it among themselves. Just as they were about to enter the palace, they heard a loud and clear cry of a Phoenix. A snow-white frost Phoenix with flames on its body flew down from the sky.. With a flap of its wings, the air immediately bloomed with burning ice crystal flowers.
