In recent times, many things had happened in the Kingdom of Liones.
The king was seriously ill, the Holy Knights were vigorously expanding their armaments, and then the royal capital had actually become a battlefield.
But fortunately, the battle had ended quickly. The "seriously ill" king had reappeared and announced that the two Great Holy Knights had become traitors to the kingdom, and the former great sinners, the Seven Deadly Sins, had become heroes who had saved the kingdom.
Moreover, the king had announced that he would award the Seven Deadly Sins, who had saved the kingdom, with medals.
But Drake didn't care about any of this; he and Ban had already asked Meliodas for leave to go to the New Fairy King's Forest.
There were many reasons why Drake and Ban had left early.
On the one hand, Drake had long promised Ban that he would revive Elaine. If it wasn't for having to help Elizabeth deal with the rebellion in the royal capital, Ban would have dragged Drake off long ago.
Another reason was that Drake really wasn't interested in being awarded a medal; that medal had no meaning to Drake.
Another reason was because of Merlin; in the past few days, she had been indirectly obtaining a lot of information about Drake from everyone. No one would believe that she had no ulterior motives.
Although Drake was certain that she wouldn't obtain any important information, Drake was really afraid that if he didn't get away from her soon, he would have to fall out with her.
After all, no one could stand having someone constantly thinking about how to plot against them.
If that really happened, Drake would have to prepare to fight Escanor afterward.
And the last reason was that the awarding of medals had no meaning for Drake; on the contrary, the atmosphere in the royal capital was becoming increasingly strange.
Dreyfus and Hendrickson had dispersed a group of uncontrollable knight orders to the borders of the kingdom during the rebellion.
Now that the rebellion had been suppressed, these people had also been recalled to the royal capital.
But the Holy Knight group... how to put it, having been in high positions for a long time, they were somewhat unable to understand themselves.
It was precisely because of this that the rebellion of the two Great Holy Knights had been so smooth.
And this inability to understand themselves was quickly manifested in those Holy Knights who had been recalled to the royal capital.
The Seven Deadly Sins, who had formerly been great sinners, had suddenly become heroes, and most of the Holy Knights were actually unconvinced.
"If I had been there, I could have defeated the two Great Holy Knights more easily," there were quite a few people who held this kind of thought.
It was quite like the feeling that since there were no heroes in the world, worthless people had become famous.
Of course, this kind of mediocre person's thinking would only make people laugh, but it had to be admitted that it would bring trouble.
Even Drake had been implicated, encountering Holy Knights who were looking for trouble on the street.
There was no way Drake would still be willing to stay in the royal capital under these circumstances.
So Ban, Drake, and Stella set off towards the Fairy King's Forest on Chongming, and King also followed.
The Fairy King's Forest had been the territory of the Fairy Clan since ancient times.
Three thousand years ago, the Fairy Clan and the Giant Clan stood with humans on the side of the Goddess Clan, fighting against the Demon Clan.
During the war, the Fairy Clan suffered heavy casualties, and were even backstabbed by humans, leaving only a few stragglers.
In the end, it wasn't the Fairy Clan and the Giant Clan, who had powerful strength, but humans who ruled Britannia.
However, under the protection of the Sacred Tree that the Fairy Clan worshiped, the Fairy Clan still managed to preserve their last territory, which was the Fairy King's Forest.
The strongest member of the Fairy Clan chosen by the Sacred Tree, the Fairy King, would protect the Fairy King's Forest, the Sacred Tree, the Fountain of Youth, and the entire Fairy Clan.
But when the Fairy King Harlequin abandoned his responsibilities to pursue his close friend, and left the Fairy King's Forest, a Red Demon, who didn't know how he had escaped the seal, attacked the Fairy King's Forest.
The forest, which had lost the Fairy King's protection, was reduced to scorched earth, and the Holy Maiden who protected the Fountain of Youth died as a result.
The Holy Maiden Elaine entrusted everything to Ban, and relying on the immortality brought by the Fountain of Youth, Ban killed the Red Demon, and then used his blood to irrigate the Sacred Tree seed, re-cultivating the Sacred Tree.
With this, Ban created a new Fairy King's Forest.
Chongming circled in the sky, this was the location specified by Ban, and was also the location of the new Fairy King's Forest.
Drake squatted on Chongming's back, saying, "Hmm, a very clever concealment technique, but Ban, you shouldn't be at this level, right!"
That's right, at first glance, the area below was just an ordinary wilderness, but in fact, this entire area was covered in concealment techniques.
This technique didn't have much defensive ability, but a technique that could cover such a large area was quite rare.
However, it would be too much to say that Ban had set it up.
Ban said unhappily, "Why does it feel like you're looking down on me? But you're not wrong, this is the tree's ability."
Saying this, a thick fog appeared out of nowhere, enveloping everyone.
And this fog came strangely, and dissipated even faster. Almost in the blink of an eye, the scene before them became clear.
What appeared before the group was a vibrant forest, and in the center of the lush forest was a thick tree with pink flowers blooming.
Tears appeared in King's eyes, saying, "That small tree does indeed have the magic power of the big tree in the Fairy King's Forest; the Fairy King's Forest is really still alive!"
Drake could also sense the magic power reaction full of life force on that tree, and he could also understand King's thoughts.
Ten years ago, he had returned to his hometown, only to see the Fairy King's Forest, which had been reduced to scorched earth. How desperate he had been at that time, and how intense the joy of finding it again was now.
However, that twenty-odd-meter "small tree"... it could only be said that the Fairy Clan, who had mastered the power of nature in this world, was worthy of their name.
After the Fairy King's Forest appeared, Drake saw three people flying in the sky at a glance.
The Fairy Clan of Britannia had that rather classic image, small in stature, with wings like insects on their backs.
However, the Fairy Clan weren't all beautiful as in legends, at least the three Fairy Clan members in front of him didn't seem to have that kind of feeling.
"Syska, End, Meli, it's you guys!"
King immediately recognized these three people, and went up to greet them joyfully.
But contrary to King, these three people had a disgusted expression.
"It's the traitor Harlequin!"
"If you hadn't left seven hundred years ago, Lady Elaine wouldn't have...!"
"What are you doing back here!"
The three people spoke worse than the last, if they weren't flying in the sky, they probably would have picked up stones and thrown them at King.
Drake couldn't help but frown; to be honest, as soon as he had arrived at the Fairy King's Forest, he didn't have much of a good impression of the Fairy Clan.
Indeed, King, as the Fairy King, hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities, causing the Fairy King's Forest to be destroyed.
This was a sin he couldn't shirk, but when the other Fairy Clan members were criticizing him, they should also look at their own actions.
In the end, King, the Fairy King, hadn't enjoyed anything. If anything, it was the Fairy Clan who owed King, who had been protecting the Fairy King's Forest all along.
King hadn't been able to protect the Fairy King's Forest, but what about these Fairy Clan members who only knew how to hide behind others?
King was the Sin of Sloth, looking at it this way, the entire Fairy Clan was a slothful race.
