Shortly after Iolum contacted him, Brod's summons also arrived. During the summons, Brod first apologized to Shado for his radical approach, and then promised that he would do his best to introduce people to the southern border.
.
As for why it was necessary to apply for 50,000 people at once, Brod gave the reason - when there is a portal, the more people, the better.
The teleportation gate was mentioned when Shado and Brod were discussing the introduction of the population. They said that a teleportation gate connecting to the Great Xia Territory would be built in Brod's territory to facilitate population transfer.
But that doesn’t excuse him from being so reckless!
And now, Brod's apology seems so sincere, and it is in line with Brod's consistent personality in Chateau's impression in the past.
For a moment, Xia Duo couldn't tell whether the other party did it intentionally or if it was an honest mistake. However, this was still a question that could not be investigated in detail.
"What a confusing account!"
No matter what the original reason was, things have already happened, and all parties have their own attitudes, so we can only move on.
Xia Duo happily forgave Brod and invited him to visit the southern border when he was free, but in his heart he gave up the intention of outsourcing part of the floating city design to him.
…
After the storm, Shado continued to sit in the Tower of Time. For the time being, he had won the favor of time. As long as the outside world did not change drastically, maintaining the status quo was his best interest.
But on the other side, Evereska, a certain elf in a hidden private residence in the high street community, is not as calm as Shado.
Hildalanna, who had just returned from organizing a new round of gatherings in Faro, was thinking about the more and more frequent gatherings she had organized during this period, and her thoughts on Faro's pursuit of organizing truly transnational independence became clearer and clearer in her mind.
Although she was very dissatisfied with the fact that Farrow had humiliated her, once interests were involved, she would not fail to see the benefits to her of the organization becoming truly independent.
Just when she was thinking about how to cut a small cake for herself from this incident, the sapphire hanging on a rainbow rope ribbon worn on her right wrist suddenly became hot and flashed with real scarlet light.
.
Hildalana's expression suddenly changed. She didn't care about exposing her identity in the mystery lock, and actually cast a teleportation spell directly in this secret private residence.
Ye Erlan, Yuejiao family.
Hildalanna, who had gone through many twists and turns, attracted all the family guards to look like enemies as soon as she appeared. However, after seeing that it was Hildalanna, all the elves breathed a sigh of relief.
But for the furious and anxious Hildalanna, this was just the beginning. She ran frantically towards the Chunlu Courtyard where her father was, and at the same time kept repeating the prayer words in her heart that she had forgotten for a long time.
"Brother Brin, be sure nothing happens to you!"
After arriving at her destination, Hildalanna looked around, and sure enough she didn't see Brin, and her bad premonition grew stronger.
At this time, the leader of the Yuejiao clan heard the noise and came out of the inner room. Seeing that his daughter, whom he had always been proud of, was so rude at this time, he felt a little disappointed and very distressed, and finally turned into a cry.
sigh:
"Hill, you have to be mentally prepared!"
Hearing her father's words, Hildalanna almost fainted. She asked tremblingly: "How is Brother Bryn?"
In fact, before Hildalanna came back, she had a premonition of what had happened. The sapphire jewelry actually corresponded to Bryn's life state, and the red color was almost irreversible.
But she didn't want to believe that that was the truth. At this moment, how she wished her father could tell her a different answer!
"Brin suddenly appeared in the family secret room not long ago. He only had time to leave half a line of text on the ground, and then——"
The Moonhorn Clan leader seemed unable to bear to say the following words, and Hildalanna did not ask further questions. She also did not bear to ask, but when she thought that Bryn's misfortune was entirely due to her mission, her heart was even more disturbed.
Holding back her grief, Hildalanna said to her father: "Take me to see him for the last time!"
"Oh - come with me!"
Under the leadership of the Moonhorn Clan leader, Hildalanna quickly arrived outside the secret room.
At this time, outside the secret room, in addition to the daily guards, there were also several family elders surrounding it, one of whom was a high mage like Hildalanna.
Seeing the arrival of the patriarch and his daughter, everyone thought of the rumor and couldn't help but get out of the way. Even the elders, even the senior mages, didn't want to get into trouble at this time.
As soon as Hildalanna entered the secret room, she saw a pool of clothes soaked in blood on the teleportation circle in the center of the secret room, with a strange and powerful curse aura constantly exuding from it.
The clothes were exactly what Brin was wearing when he left. Hildalanna remembered that day clearly, because she wouldfully transferred Brother Brin from his father's side to her, which made Brother Brin a little angry.
If she had known today, she would never have done such a thing. But now it is too late to regret. All she can do is avenge Brother Bryn.
Thinking of this, Hildalanna continued to endure her grief and carefully examined Brin's remaining belongings and the last message he left.
"The curse is a very common blood curse, but it is definitely in the hands of a high mage, and this information - 'inspiration'?"
The last text Brin left was written with his fingers stained with blood, and it also exuded a distinct breath of curse, but he was killed by the curse before he could leave a complete message.
The second half of the text on the ground was soaked in blood. Hildalanna could barely make out the outlines of a few words. To be more specific, she might have to wait until the curse is clear and ask the family's spies who are proficient in trace identification to inspect it in detail.
.
But combined with the previous half of the text, Hildalanna had roughly guessed what message Brin wanted to leave, which made her blame herself even more.
As if thinking of something, Hildalanna quickly walked out of the secret room. The elders who were talking quietly with the clan leader outside immediately stopped talking when they heard the movement.
But Hildalanna couldn't care about them at this time, but looked at her father, "Father, I want to go to Avandor Home, please help me deal with it here."
"Going to Arvandor Homeworld?"
The Moon Horn Clan leader's face changed slightly when he heard this. After death, the elves can indeed go to the Avandor homeland to continue living. This mainly depends on the deceased's own wishes. Under normal circumstances, no one will refuse, but the premise is that the soul is fine.
Before Hildalanna returned, the Moonhorn Clan leader learned from the elders that Brin's soul was probably annihilated. Furthermore, even if he went to the Arvandor homeland, he could not recover his memories of his life without the help of the Lord God.
Under normal circumstances, the Lord God has indeed promised to restore the memories of elves who cannot restore their own memories for free, but now, the relationship between Erlan and Cormanthor is somewhat sensitive.
The Lord God has always favored Cormanthor. Whether he will continue to help for free now, and whether the Moon Horn Family in the mortal world will need to pay any price, is yet to be determined.
