**The Elfin King Folan's Admiration** (妖王佛岚的赞赏, *Yāowáng Fólán de Zànshǎng*) is the 32nd episode of *The Legend of Luo Xiaohei*.

## Description

It's finally the day that Xiaohei's third mission starts. The mission is to get a compliment from an elfin king named Folan (or to get his admiration). The problem is that no one knows who Folan is. Xioahei, Xiaobai and A-Gen try to find info on Folan everywhere, but to no avail. Then, Shanxin calls them and surprises them with information: Folan is actually a in-game mission from All Living Creatures! And not only that, but it is an impossible mission...

## Plot

At night, Xiaohei explains his missions to Xiaobai: he has three of them, and if he completes them, he’ll become an executor, and his master’s sidekick. He says that executors are law enforcers, and that it is a dangerous job, but that’s why he has to go through tasks and examinations. A-Gen thinks that the second task was to get in contact with a human in order to learn to manage all kinds of situations. Then it’s finally midnight, and it’s July 3rd, so Xiaohei opens the 3rd mission scroll. A-Gen reads it for him: the mission is to earn the compliment (or the admiration, depending of the translation) of the elfin king Folan before New Year’s Eve.

Nobody knows what the task means, or who Folan is. A-Gen explains that Elfin King is a title among the elfin realm, and the two most famous kings are probably Wukong and Nezha, due to them being included in many novels. Xiaohei tells Xiaobai that he knows Nezha, which makes Xiaobai excited. A-Gen says that Elfin King usually refers to an elfin who has conquered a territory, but that no one’s been given the title in a long time. Nezha has already been bestowed the title of god, so he never mentions he was once an Elfin King.

The next morning, the group gathers around A-Gen to search for info in the Elfin Forums. However, nobody there knows who Folan is. One member says he knows all the 87 recorded Elfin Kings in history, and that none of them are named Folan. Xiaobai suggests asking Laojun for help, but A-Gen says that they should only do that as a last resort measure. Meanwhile, at his palace, Laojun complains that nobody goes to visit him, and annoys Diting, who’s trying to read next to him.

Using the Wood Spirit Core, A-Gen and Xiaohei talk to the immortal Muluo, but he’s never heard of Folan either. He tells them that most elfin kings are given the title for their famed and renowned power, so Fuluo is probably not in China. This makes the group believe that Fuluo may live abroad. This makes Xiaobai curious about elfins in other countries. A-Gen tells her that as long as it’s a place creatures exists, elfins exists there as well, and that’s why every nation has its own myths and legends. Most elfins in China abide by the law, and in other countries coexistence is the mainstream, but there are also nations ruled by elfins. They often seek representatives among humans, and citizens also treat them as their faith. Most other nations have treated elfins as fiction to lessen their impact. Humans are now committed to technology, and walk on a different path from elfins. Nobody knows why path is the correct one.

Before the group can think what to do next, they’re interrupted by a call from Shanxin. Xiaobai answers, but tells Shanxin that they won’t be able to play All Living Creatures, and that they may need to leave the country in order to complete Xiaohei's mission. When Xiaobai casually mentions they’re looking for the elfin king Folan, Shanxin surprises everyone by already knowing the name. Shanxin explains to everyone that “getting a compliment (or the admiration) from Folan” is a game mission inside All Living Creatures. That morning, the game posted about 100 missions, with the Folan mission being updated 10 minutes ago. Once he checks, A-Gen confirms that everyone in the Elfin Forums is talking about it now.

Therefore, Xiaohei’s third mission is inside the game. But, Shanxin warns them, it is an impossible mission!
