This attitude... Chloe became even more curious about what exactly this Heart of the Forest was.
Even Xavier took it so seriously.
Chloe touched the pendant on her neck: "So what exactly is this thing?"
Xavier flipped through the documents on the table: "Didn't your Elf Race friend tell you?"
Chloe shrugged: "Obviously not."
Hearing this, Xavier let out a derisive laugh.
Chloe: "..."
"This is not a reason for you to mock me casually, my dear father."
Xavier spread his hands: "No, you're overthinking. I mean I admire your relationship."
But in fact, Chloe could see nothing but mockery on the face of this Vampire progenitor.
Chloe reached for the dagger at her waist, intending to give Xavier a stab.
After a one-sided beating, Xavier finally informed Chloe about the origin of this pendant.
It turned out to be the most precious treasure of the Elf Race, the heart of the Tree of Life, the only one in the world for millions of years.
The Heart of the Forest contained the most cherished and powerful ability of the Elf Race, which was life restoration.
Although its authenticity was unknown, according to legend, with the Heart of the Forest, as long as it recognized its master through day and night companionship, even if one's tendons were severed, heart damaged, limbs missing, or body plagued by disease, they could be restored to full health in an instant.
Making one as vibrant as a normal, healthy person.
Of course, getting the Heart of the Forest to recognize its master was a very long process. Even without recognition, just wearing it on the body, its restorative power was not to be underestimated.
It just wasn't as instantaneous.
When Chloe heard this, her eyes widened:
"Oh my god, that's incredible."
Xavier reached out to pinch Chloe's chin, closing her open mouth, and said, "Have some perspective."
Chloe unconsciously touched the Heart of the Forest: "So this thing Katherine gave me is so awesome, I'd better keep wearing it carefully."
At this point, Chloe remembered something: "But, would the Elf Race agree to give such a treasured item to me, a Vampire?"
Xavier looked at her and asked back, "What do you think?"
"I don't think they would."
Xavier averted his gaze, implying that she already knew the answer.
No wonder Katherine was so cautious after bringing the item back, and even used magic to hide the Heart of the Forest.
So it was for this reason.
However, if those pedantic elders of the Elf Race found out, wouldn't Katherine be punished again?
Chloe raised her hand: "Father, when do you say we should truly attack the Elf Race?"
Xavier: "..."
He slowly opened his lips: "You're not talking about world peace at this moment?"
Chloe smiled and skipped this topic directly, her expression becoming a bit more serious: "Let's not joke about that, I have other things to discuss with you."
"The not-joking kind."
...
Outside the tent, apart from the Vampire soldiers guarding their positions, there was also Daniel squatting on the ground like a hooligan.
Without Chloe around, no one led them to squat together, so Daniel was the only military school student left squatting on the ground, making a fool of himself.
He squatted on the ground, with Qin Huaibei, Anderson, and Katherine standing behind him, looking like some large-scale arrest scene, with Daniel being the suspect crouching with his head down.
But the problem was that none of the parties involved had a clear understanding of this.
Daniel was so bored he felt like he was about to grow mushrooms:
"What do you think Chloe is talking about with her dad in there? It's been so long and she still hasn't come out?"
"Just wait," said Qin Huaibei, "It should be almost time based on how long it's been."
As they chatted, they unconsciously turned their gaze towards Anderson.
Daniel looked at Qin Huaibei, Qin Huaibei then looked at Katherine, and they all lowered their heads knowingly.
This incident with Chloe wasn't particularly major, but it wasn't minor either.
But how important Chloe was to Anderson was obvious to all, and if something really happened to Chloe, Anderson would probably have the strongest reaction.
For a moment, no one dared to speak.
Until Chloe came out of the tent in a whirlwind.
As soon as she appeared, Daniel "whooshed" up from the ground and waved vigorously at Chloe.
Chloe saw him and was overjoyed, opening her arms and rushing straight over.
Seeing this, Daniel was overwhelmed with emotion, tears welling up in his eyes. Just as he was about to hug her back, he saw Chloe dash right past him towards Katherine behind him.
Chloe's voice was sweet and sticky: "Wuwuwuwu baby, I love you so much!"
Although confused, Katherine still cooperated and hugged Chloe tightly.
This made Daniel's outstretched arms seem quite redundant.
Daniel: "..."
He silently lowered his hands and turned to cry into Qin Huaibei's arms, only to be pushed away in disgust after not even one sob.
Daniel suddenly felt betrayed and abandoned, full of resentment, he stood beside the two lovey-dovey girls and started cursing loudly.
Then he was caught by Qin Huaibei and dragged aside for a beating.
After recovering, Chloe whispered a thank you in Katherine's ear, then straightened up and announced to everyone:
"Stop fussing, everyone. Go pack your things, we're heading to the Forest of Life."
Qin Huaibei and Daniel, who were in the middle of a fight, stopped: "What are we going to the Forest of Life for?"
Chloe reached out to take the luggage that Anderson had prepared at some point and put it on her back:
"I made a deal with my dad. He'll withdraw his troops if we go to the Forest of Life to look for clues about the Viper Group's hideouts and the location of their headquarters."
This way, as long as Xavier withdraws his troops, the great war between the Elf Race and the Vampires can be avoided.
Qin Huaibei asked again: "But how are we supposed to get into the Forest of Life? Let's not even mention that it's the sacred ground of the Elf Race, but we're all of different races, and your dad is Xavier. Would those elders feel at ease letting us in?"
Hearing this, Chloe winked mischievously:
"They certainly wouldn't let us in with our current identities, but what if we change them?"
Daniel looked confused: "Change to what? Can we suddenly change our race?"
Chloe opened the terminal on her wrist, dialed Ren Yunying's communication, and said casually:
"The identity of being from different races is indeed enough to arouse suspicion, but what if our identity is the special investigation team from The No.1 Military Academy?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ren Yunying's image appeared on the light screen.
The background behind her looked like the research institute of The No.1 Military Academy. She had a serious expression and used one hand to send a small program to each of their terminals in turn, saying:
"This is the identity verification I'm giving you. With this, you are the special investigation team from The No.1 Military Academy. Those Elves won't stop you."
The No.1 Military Academy had been eradicating Viper Group hideouts across the continent for many years and was deeply trusted by the public.
Using this identity to enter the Forest of Life was the best possible option.
