"Then do you recognize all of them? Are there any elves who should not be members of the Shenmu Guards?"
Taking over the water mirror screen displayed by Lin, Liena recognized the faces one by one and said: "These people are all members of the Shenmu Guards. It's just that they haven't returned to the city since joining the guards, so they are young.
People will be very unfamiliar with him."
"Is there any other transcendent person besides the Druid elder you mentioned and Ronan?"
"no, what happened?"
"Did you hear that the three elder druids, or extraordinary beings other than Ronan, went to pay homage to your king?"
"No..." Liena answered quickly. But as soon as the answer came out, even she felt something was wrong.
"I don't know the duty rules of your Shenmu Guards, so I'm just asking casually, and you can answer according to the situation. Assuming that World Tree is their base, can they leave freely?"
"No, in essence, they are an army. Unless they have a mission, how can they leave at will? And becoming a member of the Shenmu Guards, this is their home, and they are brothers and sisters with each other, and the native
There is no longer any relationship with the family. Their only mission is to protect His Majesty Lahti."
Hearing this, Lin's doubts became somewhat clear. The Wood Elf Divine Wood Guards didn't have so many rules, but they did. The reason behind them was certainly worth pondering.
Because of Halumi, Lin also had some understanding of the rules of the wood elves. The rules that ordinary wood elves and their sacred wood guards must abide by are no different. The purpose of all the rules is actually to restrict their own behavior.
The reason for restraining itself is that the wood elf will enter into a soul contract with the World Tree from the moment he is born. That is, the two parties have a certain degree of deep connection, so the behavior of one party will inevitably affect the other party.
Just like for humans, behaviors such as indulgence, overeating, staying up late, etc. will affect physical health. For World Tree, of course, there are also some behaviors that are not suitable for plants, which become the precepts of its contracting parties.
After all, the soul has established a connection with the big boss. When someone makes the big boss feel unhappy physically and mentally, how can that person make the other party too comfortable? Over time, this has become a "don't do" thing among everyone.
That is the origin of the commandments.
But no matter how restrictive these commandments are, they will not restrict interpersonal relationships. Just like members of the Wood Elf's Divine Wood Guards, they can become husband and wife with others, have children, and even travel abroad.
And when an organization begins to restrict the actions of its members, no matter what reason it uses, there must be some purpose behind it. It may be a noble and sacred goal, but it is more likely to be an ulterior one. However, when a kingdom internally
If an organization ignores the royal power and says there is no evil behind it, then it is really in vain to read so many years of works on various conspiracy theories.
In particular, there are a few elves who are missing, which makes someone particularly worried. The three druid elders of the Kingdom of Pyat Jaime are extraordinary beings, and they have also lived through the era when the lich ruled the land around them. In other words, they
He is a witness to the destruction of the Elf Kingdom once.
All this time, Lin was willing to take that lich around because her era was too far away. Even if she had done something horrific, no one involved or the victim would come forward to complain. But someone also knew very well,
It is not surprising that people who have experienced that era appear in this magical world.
But...it shouldn't be such a chance encounter. That kind of person can't be found in the street, you can meet him everywhere.
And here are three…
Before coming to the territory of World Tree, of course, someone first got the list of those 'people who cannot be messed with' from Liena Titov. After knowing about the three Druid elders, Lin was still a little worried.
They were worried that when they saw the lich next to them, it would cause a catastrophe like a comet hitting the earth.
Fortunately, the worst thing did not happen, and we did not even see the three Druid elders. I originally thought that the elves had communicated with the three old antiques first, so that out of sight was out of mind, and both sides took what they had.
If necessary, they will divide things when things are done, maintaining a false peaceful situation.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all. The reason why the other party did not show up is probably because there is a conspiracy behind it.
"Anyway, if you have free time in the past few days, go find your king and go on a few more tours. Don't let that sentimental young man feel lonely. Of course, don't leave him easily, including weapons."
This elf sword dancer is not a little girl who has never seen the world. How could she not understand the hint of this human magician. So Liena Titov put on a worried look and asked: "
Do you have more clear evidence about these things?"
"If there was clear evidence, I would have ignored the things here and run away first. Why would I still be telling you these things here?"
At this time, Fen comforted his female companion and said: "You have to believe that he is this kind of person. If something is wrong, he will definitely run faster than anyone else." However, the lich at this time revealed that someone had not seen it before.
He smiled brightly and said, "Then what should we do? Strike first and catch them off guard."
"My sister, maybe I just misunderstood. Don't mess with me."
Fen had a dissatisfied and disappointed expression on his face and smacked his mouth. Lin ignored this lich who was afraid of chaos in the world, and told the others: "Girl, you also have to be prepared at any time, just follow the standards of camping adventures.
.Even if you are not required to be fully armed, you must carry the small things you should have with you, and you must be vigilant. This is no different than in the Tower of the Great Sage, and it is far from an environment where you can relax your vigilance. Also
The things on the carriage must be ready to leave at any time. In an emergency, I won't waste time packing things. Do you hear me?"
Because their tone was a bit harsh, the two girls nodded seriously. Hallumi thought of the other group of people and asked, "Should I tell Jermaine and the others these things?"
"Telling that big mouth is no different from disclosing it to the whole world. Let's hide it from them first, so as not to over-stimulate the other party. Maybe if we don't have this idea at the beginning, we will be forced to do it." After thinking about it,
, Lin added: "After all, they are very powerful. It is not good for them to be completely unprepared. Liena, can I ask you to do something?"
"explain."
"Try to get the elves over there to ask the Silverbeard Dwarves to compete in martial arts with the peaceful armed forces. The elves should also be interested in the strength of the Silverbearded Dwarves' peaceful armed forces. Since I took them away from the dwarves' iron
Since entering the city, no one has made such a request. So I think Jermaine and the others have little chance of refusing, because they are also curious about the strength level of the Peace Armed Forces in the outside world. The key is to keep one of them equipped with Peace Arms as much as possible.
Be armed, otherwise it would take too long for the dwarves to put on their equipment and they would not be able to cope with the surprise attack."
"I remember that armor, can't it move on its own?"
When asked by the female elf, Lin did not intend to save any face for the dwarf and said directly: "Automated programs can only be used to do some simple tasks or simply walk. If you want to fight, they are still far away.
.Don’t count on this. I still have to rely on you to find a way to thread the needle and make those simple little guys obey obediently.”
Liena has no reason to refuse the request of the human magician. What's more, such a request is also a good reason for the elves to maintain military equipment. In order to be able to go on the field at any time to fight against the silver-bearded dwarves who despise martial arts, everyone is equipped with
Staying together is the most reasonable thing to do.
"Then what are you going to do?" Fen asked someone.
"Me? I'm going to try to find the missing Shenmu Guards. I have a feeling that they haven't left. I also asked Lahti about the whereabouts of these elves, but he doesn't know either. So I guess even in
Within the scope of World Tree, there are still blind spots that it cannot observe."
"What about me?" Fen was a little less interested because she had already guessed the possible answer, but she still asked.
Lin didn't think too much about the lich's arrangements because he didn't think he could command the lich. However, since the other party asked about it first, Lin thought about it seriously for a while and said, "If it's okay,
I hope you can stay in a visible place but not show your face easily."
When Fen heard this, he knew what someone was up to and said, "This is to use me as bait to attract other people's attention."
"Yes. We have such a plan, but we don't know whether the other party will act according to our wishes. By the way, try not to get too close to the young king with your words."
"Are you afraid of giving them an excuse?"
"That's right, but I also hope that this is just me being careless. But before finding out everything, there is no harm in trying to stabilize the other party first."
As if she agreed with someone's reason, Fen curled her lips in disbelief. The female elf sitting next to her seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Can I tell Lord Stashe about these things?"
"The Secretary of State for War? He's open to speculation, all kinds of 'I think' stuff?"
"Maybe that gentleman doesn't have a good deal with my old man, but he can still be trusted. Moreover, the attitude of the Shenmu Guards is different from what I have seen before. I don't believe that the gentleman is completely unaware. Let me make it clear.
Attitude, it shouldn't be a bad thing to let that adult know what other people think."
After pondering for a moment, Lin said: "Basically, I agree, but it's fine if these words come out of your mouth, and there is no need to talk about our affairs. To avoid sounding like me, an outsider, is sowing discord.
It’s easy to blur the original focus.”
"I got it. Then I'll leave first." Liena Titov jumped up nimbly, and then walked out as if nothing had happened. Lin took the opportunity to sweep away some remaining noodles in the pot.
Looking at the leftovers in the pot, someone thought of a comforting thought. Maybe the other party simply didn't welcome us, so maybe they sent us off in this way.
