The starry night was quiet and beautiful, and there was no sound in the forest. Two black shadows crossed over the forest one after another, descended on the grass under the moonlight and turned into human shapes. The one falling in front of them was Gwendolyn, the Queen of Dragons, who looked like a noble lady.
Following closely behind was Modesty, who seemed to want to ask a question, but she looked at Gwendolyn with a straight face and held back her words as she spoke. This subtle change in expression fell into the eyes of the Dragon Queen.
, she said: "You can say whatever you want. Are you just like those mortals, afraid that I will eat you?"
Modesty blushed and was a little angry. Of course she was not afraid of being eaten. She was afraid of the former because the former was stronger than her, but this was a fact that she was too arrogant to say; Modesty was very angry.
Despite Gwendolen's straightforwardness, she had to reply: "I just want to ask, why did you let them go?"
"Because I felt the presence of a person and I was afraid of attracting her attention," Gwendolen replied, "so I had to let those little mice go."
"who?"
"Ellanda."
Modesty was startled and screamed: "Why is it her? Isn't that woman still in the Garden of the World Tree!"
"That elf is carrying the leaves of the World Tree. Airanta always monitors the world through her flowers and plants. When I used the Grip of Tiamat, I just alerted her."
"Damn it, did she find us?"
"I don't know, but don't take any chances. From now on, we have to deal with the mess in Anzlova as soon as possible. You go tell Malthus so that he doesn't have to go back to Anzlova; what he has to do is to help Nata quickly.
Sha captured the Green Claw Fortress and let the lions in. I doubt our secret can be kept secret for much longer, and we must seize the opportunity." The Dragon Queen looked at the dark forest, her eyes seemed to reflect the same sinister light, and she replied softly.
"Are you going to take action?" Modesty was slightly surprised.
Gwendolyn nodded slowly.
"But what about those little mice? Don't forget that Mysriel is with them. If she returns to the Dragon's Nest, we will be in trouble."
"I know that they plan to go to Loen and take a boat to sea from there. You just need to be the first to burn the boat in that port. After Moshaq captures Asaph, the lizard people will naturally recruit people to accept it.
Go and besiege that port. Without sea support, they won't be able to hold on for long."
"Me?" Modesty replied with some timidity: "But what should I do if Airanta appears?"
"She will not show up. As long as we do not personally participate in this war, this is a dispute between the Jorgendigans and the Cruz people. She will neither have nor have any reason to intervene."
"But haven't we already attracted her attention?" Modesty asked cautiously, fearing that this was a trap that would cause her to face the sage who had lived for more than a thousand years.
"She has a motive. But there is no reason. This is Cruz, not Airanta. The Cruz people will not sit idly by and ignore it. The Temple of Fire will naturally protest without us even needing to take action. We also have the little
Her Majesty the Queen, she has her own way to deal with this sage. Even a lofty sage must abide by the rules of mortals and cannot act arbitrarily." Gwendolyn quietly replied: "Of course. All of this.
The premise is established before we finally take action, and after that, this barrier between mortals and 'gods' will lose its meaning, so you must seize the time."
Modesty's face looked a little ugly, and she replied reluctantly: "Then should I go to Malthus first, or to Loen first?"
"You go to Malthus first and ask him to lend you his army of dragon beasts."
Modesty was slightly startled before she understood what the other party was thinking - they couldn't do it themselves, so the dragon beast was the best substitute.
"Huh, cunning guy!" The female dragon muttered secretly in her heart.
…
"so--"
In the open area south of Yongyin Valley, the hills began to become gentler. But along the northern edge of the Rokochi Highlands, there were still rolling hills and large forests. At this moment, Eruin's envoy was hiding in
In such a forest, after nearly a day of escaping, everyone was exhausted and had to stop and take a rest, enjoy a rare respite and a dinner, but don't think about making a fire. At this moment, the north
The plains are all occupied by lizardmen, and if you are not careful, they will be surrounded by large armies.
In the center of a simple camp—actually a few clearings in the forest—a large group of people gathered around a little girl, as if they were watching some rare creature. The latter looked at the human man in front of her with great fear.
, she didn’t understand why the other party knew so much. She just said one sentence. At this time, she only heard the latter say: "——You are the daughter of Aiquesha, right? Your name is Fenike.
Si or Mu Lin."
"Mu Lin is my sister..." the elf replied softly.
"So you are Phoenix?"
The elf puffed up his cheeks.
Brando snorted softly, thinking that you guys have really revealed their secrets. You are such a naughty kid and you still want to fight me. In fact, he returned to the mission a few hours ago.
They are all trying to determine the identity of this little elf lolita, but the latter refuses to tell the truth even to death - this guy is simply a model of a naughty child. If he treats her with a little kindness, she will start talking nonsense, as if
Lying seemed to cost nothing, and as long as he was a little cruel to her, the latter would immediately burst into tears and be too frightened to say a word.
In the end, he had no choice but to endure it and test the little lolita by name one by one. Anyway, he had been to Faenzan before and was familiar with the Ten Cities area and Gracius, and the east side of Airland Tower
The wild elves on the Emerald Coast have a very close relationship with humans. Many wild elves even left the group and went to White City and Ten-Arm Port to work as mercenaries. Therefore, some situations in the country of Airlanda were not a secret in Faenzan. He was very concerned about the wild elves.
The dignitaries among the elves are relatively well understood.
Finally, when he talked about the chief guard of the wild elf elder Erqusha, Frederika, the little loli finally revealed his secret, because he used the name Martina, and the little loli spoke quickly.
He retorted - "Mother's captain of the bodyguard is not named Martina."
With just this sentence, she betrayed herself completely.
Hence the scene before.
Now Brando finally figured out who this little girl was. Fenix, the daughter of the wild elf elder Aiqisha. When he analyzed this, he couldn't help being stunned, and then he realized that he was not
This is the first time I met this little lolita. This bear lolita will be very famous in the history of Warnd in the future. About sixty years later, in the Year of the Wolf in history, she will go to Ellanta as a representative.
Holy White Plain. She became the issuer of the mission to kill Isis. In the entire "Amber Sword", among the players who have experienced the first era, there are very few people who don't know her.
But he couldn't help but take another look at this little loli. He couldn't connect this naughty kid with the gentle and noble elf girl in history.
How did the road go astray?
He patted the elf on the shoulder and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"Sixty-two years old." The elf has not yet transformed from a lolita into a girl, so she cannot be called a lady, so her age does not seem to be a secret to her. She straightened out her small breasts and replied loudly
——As if the answer is not age, but what an important and sacred thing it is ——if it weren’t for the added words at the end: “It’s already very big.”
An elf reaches adulthood at the age of one hundred and twenty, which is sixty-two years old. This is the pace of a proper naughty child. When converted into human years, it is a little younger than Chiara. No wonder he is so naughty. Brando couldn't help but think to himself
This great elder of Aiquesha is too irresponsible, how could he let this little guy escape? And the most important thing is that wild elves are curious by nature - except for Fuluo of course - so they often blend into human society to satisfy their curiosity
But ordinary wild elves, even adult elves, will only move around the White City area at most. This naughty kid ran to Cruz in one breath. There is a gap of thousands of miles. How on earth did he escape?
?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "How did you get here."
The elf didn't answer, but glanced at the sky.
Brando immediately thought of something, the Wild Elf's Path of Floating Clouds. That thing was a bit like the Flame Door of the Temple of Fire, but it worked in a different way. The Path of Floating Clouds was a real artifact, it could turn people into
It is sent to other places through the passages left by the servants of gods on Yun Dian since ancient times. This artifact has several fixed transmission points on Warnd, including the Ring of Trade Winds in the south of Tonigel.
But if he remembered correctly, this artifact had no coordinates in Cruz.
He couldn't help but look at the latter.
The elf felt very uncomfortable being stared at by him, so he replied in a nagging tone: "It's all because Xianni said she saw three dragons fighting and insisted on dragging me over to have a look. As a result, we were defeated."
"Obviously you are going to see them, I just remind you to be careful not to hit them!" The pseudo-dragon lady lying on her head screamed angrily: "Elf, if you continue to shirk your responsibilities, I will ignore you!
"
The elf pouted and stopped talking unhappily.
Brando knew who the culprit really was at a glance.
But forget it, now is not the time to pursue this responsibility. The key is that after knowing the identity of the little Loli, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Aiqisha is one of the three elders of the wild elves and the closest to Ellanta.
As a person, the origin of this little loli's natural affinity emblem seems to be quite reliable. In this way, with her together, at least Dragon Queen Gwendolyn and Modesty will not act rashly.
Of course, this is not what he is most worried about. What he is most worried about is that the unreliable little loli is unknown and will bring them new troubles. Anzlova is already in a mess. There are wind elves in the north and wind elves in the south.
There are the lion men of Toquinin, the Jorgandigans and the Earth Temple, plus the three-headed dragon. If the Natural Temple is mixed in, then this place will be a powder keg, even within the empire.
Putting down a powder keg is also a good choice, but the problem is that the powder keg is next to Eruin, not to mention that he is still here, and Brando does not have the habit of blowing himself up.
"So Miss Phoenix, how do you plan to go back now?" Brando thought of another question. The Cloud Path seems to be a one-way transmission, and this little guy really sneaked out on his own.
He originally thought that the little Lolita would be flustered for a while, but unexpectedly, the latter replied very dissatisfied: "The elf is not going back, mother is so bad, she has to send the elf to class, the elf is going to become the world
Go to the best nightingale. Don't go to class."
This answer made Brando realize that the naughty kid really couldn't communicate normally, but since the elf himself didn't matter, he naturally didn't have to worry about it. In fact, Brando hoped that the little loli could stay. Of course he knew that.
Why did the Dragon Queen Gwendolyn retreat? This little loli stayed in the team. It was a human-shaped amulet. As long as she was there, the three-headed dragon would definitely not appear easily.
After confirming the elf's identity, the crowd gathered around him naturally dispersed. Most of these people were members of Brando's family. After all, he didn't want to reveal Phoenix's true identity just yet, lest it cause trouble.
Trouble, but Chiara and Roman more or less guessed the identity of the elf as early as the Big Beehive. Brando is not worried about the former. Chiara is very young, but she is extremely mature.
The latter was in a daze, and Brando was really worried that the young lady would say something wrong. He repeatedly warned her, and it wasn't until the latter glared at her with dissatisfaction that he realized that the business lady also knew the priorities of the matter.
.
After sending away the others, only a few people were left in the open space.
These include the representative of the Sifah family, Miss Chiara, who is yawning out of boredom, and the business lady who is exchanging experiences with the elf Shani in a low voice. As for what kind of experience they are exchanging, there is no doubt that it is.
The experience between naughty children. The remaining ones are Ciel, who looks serious on the surface, and the female mercenary leader Yuta, whose expression is full of exhaustion - almost all of this day's escape depends on this lady.
Although Nemesis and Medisa also contributed to the command, she was the captain of the envoy's guard after all. Therefore, she put in the most effort. At this moment, she was almost crumbling and would fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
appearance.
In addition to these people who had not escaped with Brando before and actually met the Dragon Queen Gwendolyn, or Brando's direct subordinates, there were also Princess Magdale and Delphiri.
As well as other members of the envoy - such as the Roshan, the son of Grand Duke Karasu; the Duke's daughter Oni and Judy Eco, and the non-commissioned officer Marjorie from Yanilasu.
Finally, there is Mysriel, a lady from the Dragon Clan.
Among these people, only Chiara and Roman vaguely guessed what Brando was going to say next, and Charles appeared here as Brando's staff and confidant - although in Toni Geer
, this position is usually held by Antitina - as for Juta, he is the captain of the envoy's guard at the moment, and Brando cannot avoid him. As for the remaining two, Mythril, as a dragon, Bu
Lando didn't have to worry about any surprises these mortal affairs would cause her, and since they involved matters within the dragon clan, he had to ask her to stay and participate in this secret meeting.
In fact, Brando knew very well that even if he did not invite Mysriel, as long as the latter wanted to, there would be no whispers in this forest that she could not hear.
As for the other Eruin members of the envoy, Brando has very complicated feelings towards these people. As nobles, these people have the closest relationship with the Cruz nobles. He really needs them to help appease those who are in the midst of war at the moment.
Noble Cruz, but on the one hand, he was a little worried that what he was going to say next would frighten these guys, causing them to do something extraordinary.
Regarding this point, he decided to keep these people after careful consideration.
First of all, he thought what the Duke's daughter Oni said was reasonable, and he should really try to believe these people. Secondly, the war between the Cruz people had nothing to do with the Eruin people after all. Maybe what he was about to say would not have as big an impact on them as he thought.
, Finally, at this moment, the Eruin people have to stand together.
In addition to the people mentioned above, Brando also specially kept Princess Magdale -
Brando asked the nun and princess to stay too, but it was out of special considerations.
This consideration is mostly due to the special identity of Her Royal Highness the Princess - because he does not know how reliable what Chiara analyzed is, nor does he know if it is true, what exactly does the Temple of Fire actually mean?
What attitude do you have? As the person who is closest to the Temple of Fire and the most familiar with the Temple of Fire among the envoys, it is undoubtedly Princess Magdar.
After everyone left, the forest became quiet again. Brando's eyes swept over the faces of everyone present, and those who stayed more or less understood that the Earl must have something important to say.
Tell them, because except for Mysriel, most of the people present can see what kind of mystery is contained in the people left behind: except for Princess Magdal and the elf, there is no Cruz person present.
.
From this we can know that what I am going to talk about next is definitely closely related to the war between the Cruz people, and is even particularly important.
But the members of the Eruin mission present felt a little strange, because theoretically speaking, the earl rarely discussed these 'secrets' with them, and he himself had a group of trustworthy people.
