Compared to the girls in front, Grevas was clearly more heroic.
Her military uniform and the medals on her chest further symbolized the girl's extraordinary identity.
"The Twilight Witch, huh?"
Roya murmured, shifting his gaze away from the statue.
Let's look at the next painting.
The faces were still unfamiliar; he didn't recognize them.
Just as Roya was about to end his observation, he suddenly noticed another familiar face.
The painting on the wall depicts the winner of the Elf Sword Dance Festival three years ago.
The strongest sword dancer—Len Ashubel.
She was dressed in a long, exotic gown, and held a terrifying dark magic sword in her left hand, striking a pose.
The demonic sword in the girl's hand is the elven magic armor of the dark elf Restia, the Sword Piercing Truth.
Of course, that sword now belongs to Roya.
The figure in the painting has long, glossy black hair and a face as white as a pearl.
Objectively speaking, the girl depicted by the painter with delicate brushstrokes appears very beautiful.
Looking at the girl's face and then at the name above, Luo Ya pulled the silent girl who had been following behind him to the front.
Ren Ashbell spoke up warily, "I'm not a loli."
Roya: "???"
Luo Ya, somewhat speechless, pointed to the painting on the wall and teased, "There's a portrait of you here."
Lian Ashbell's gaze fell on the portrait, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Although Len Ashbell learned a lot from Claire and Linslet, and had some understanding of her peak moments, she didn't know much more.
For example, the idea of being carved into a stone statue and worshipped by people was clearly beyond her expectations.
At this moment, the priestess who was leading the way spoke up curiously: "You do look quite like Ren Ashbell, but unfortunately the sword in your hand has already betrayed you. But I understand, it's not impossible to understand if you're a fan of Ren Ashbell."
Upon hearing this, everyone wore strange expressions.
Claire wanted to speak up and defend Len Ashbell, but Linslet pulled her away.
Claire whispered, "Len Ashbell is her? I'm going to tell this brat."
Linslet playfully slapped Claire's forehead and said calmly, "You really have wild ideas. If you reveal her identity, our team is going to be in trouble."
Ren Ashbell, who was about to lash out, stopped what she was doing and asked in surprise, "Why?"
Linslet said speechlessly, "With Lian Ashbell's name, it will soon attract a lot of elf users to come and join the fun. Do you really think the next few days will be easy?"
Claire fell into deep thought, but quickly retorted, "That doesn't mean she should look down on Len Ashbell like that. Len Ashbell is the real Len Ashbell."
Linslet reached out and ruffled the red hair, casually saying, "Len Ashbell herself doesn't care, so why are you worrying about it?"
After saying that, she pointed at Len Ashbell, who had a calm expression on her face. Claire indeed became obedient, but then, as if she remembered something, Claire fought back and slapped away Linslet's hands that were messing around, angrily saying, "Linslet, stop touching me like that! What do you take me for!"
A group of people entered the city amidst the lively atmosphere.
But when everyone entered the room, they fell silent again.
The room we're in now is too ordinary.
If it were just a normal one, that would be fine, but the ground was covered in dust, and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.
The priestess said to everyone, "We've arrived. These are your rooms from now on. They may be a bit messy, but they're spacious enough."
Claire pointed to the dust on the floor and couldn't help but say angrily, "Is this what you call a little messy?"
The priestess shrugged and said casually, "Of course, if you want to live outside, we won't stop you."
The priestess's words thoroughly enraged Claire, but before the girl could lash out, Alice stopped her.
Alice nodded and said, "Alright then, please give me some cleaning tools, and I'll tidy everything up."
After saying that, Alice winked at Claire beside her, signaling her to stop fooling around.
Claire's face flushed red, and she finally let out a cold snort, turning her head away and saying nothing more.
"Of course that's no problem."
Faced with the polite blue-haired girl in front of her, the shrine maiden's attitude became much more amiable.
She only wanted to make things difficult for the team, not to offend them to the point of no return.
After exchanging a few words with Alice, he brought over what they needed.
Luo Ya sighed and said, "I didn't expect that my first day on the island would be a big clean-up."
However, with Alice and Linslet around, this matter was naturally quite easy.
Both of them are skilled at housework, so they were more than capable of handling this not-so-large room.
Claire was paddling around nearby, while Esther was playing with a broom by herself. Roya, using the team's AI, pondered future combat methods, moved a chair over, wiped off the dust, and dozed off for a while. When he opened his eyes again, the entire room was completely refreshed.
The Elf Sword Dance Festival won't start so soon; it will likely be about a week later, and there will be a ball before the Sword Dance Festival.
Most of the balles are meant to allow the elf messengers to meet each other and get to know one another.
Of course, there will also be political deals, but these naturally have little to do with the participating elf players.
After the ball, the Elf Sword Dance Festival officially begins.
The ball wasn't as lively as I'd imagined. On the contrary, the atmosphere was quite awkward, with a sense that tension could escalate at any moment.
After the ball, everyone looked bored, but Roya seemed quite indifferent.
It’s time to eat, it’s time to drink.
The cuisine of this world is largely similar to that of medieval Europe in my previous life, with bread as the staple food and a wide variety of other dishes.
Compared to the Mushoku Tensei world, the cuisine in this world is far superior.
After all, the necessary seasonings have already been added, so even if the taste is bad, it won't be too unpalatable.
But Roya didn't care. However, most people at the banquet had their eyes on Roya.
Speaking of Rojas, he is actually quite famous.
It's not just because Roya is the academy's first representative to compete in the Spirit Sword Dance Festival. If that were all, he would certainly attract attention, but that attention wouldn't last long.
But now, the girls in the room kept glancing, intentionally or unintentionally, at the blond boy who was stuffing himself in a corner of the banquet.
Chapter 230 The Wind Elf King
The most important reason is his position.
The first male elven messenger since Solomon.
It's only natural that it aroused the curiosity of young girls.
Solomon's era is too far removed from them; three hundred years is enough to erase everything. With the changing times, all wounds will be healed in time.
The girls only knew about Solomon from books, and most of them learned about him from picture books when they were younger.
The girls viewed Solomon more like a fairy tale, their awe long gone. Driven by curiosity, they naturally wanted to see the strength of the legendary male elf, Roya.
But Roya had no intention of greeting the people present; he simply ate his meal until the banquet ended.
Claire complained somewhat discontentedly, "You can't just keep eating."
Roya shrugged, not taking Claire's words seriously.
The banquet ended, and night fell. Roya went to bed in his room, holding Esther.
The day of the Sword Dance Festival finally arrived.
The shrine maiden presiding over the sword dance festival stood in the center of the meeting. The girl was dressed very little, and a patch of snow-white skin could be seen when she reached out.
The girl stood on the stage and coughed lightly a few times, attracting everyone's attention.
The shrine maiden began explaining the rules of this year's Sword Dance Festival.
The rules have already been explained; repeating them again is just going through the motions.
This Sword Dance Festival is a battle royale type event. You don't need to be the strongest among all the teams; you just need to survive to the end.
The timeframe is three days. During these three days, the spirit envoys will be placed in a forest on the island to engage in battle.
There are about fifteen teams, and the map is huge, unbelievably huge.
Because it was the territory of the Wind Spirit King, the priestesses cast a spell similar to expanding a map.
The island's space was distorted and overlapped, resulting in the map being expanded by a factor of two.
The battle needs no further explanation; omitting the process, let's get to the result.
The result was naturally that Roja's team won.
However, Roya's team won with great difficulty. If it weren't for Roya, they probably would have been eliminated before even reaching the final round.
During the journey, they encountered three teams. The first two teams were very strong and cooperated very well, but they still had a hard time against Roya's team.
