Chapter 415: Departure
Hearing this, Daniel suddenly realized.
He had been wondering before that there was a major crisis in the elven race, and how Alice, as a princess, would choose to sneak out to play at this time.
It turns out that the roots are here.
I only heard Alice continue: "Now that the Holy See of Light is powerful, our elven race is declining day by day. But diplomatically, my father and the Pope of Light are equals. They only sent a cardinal archbishop, but they wanted to marry the elf king of our clan, which is already a naked insult. ”
York blinked and said uncertainly: "Under the Pope of the Holy See of Light, it should be a cardinal, right?" ”
"Yes." Franco replied. He is an experienced mercenary, and as the head of the regiment, he has to know and collect all kinds of information.
"The power structure of the Holy See of Light, at the top is the Pope, then the cardinals, then the cardinals, then the cardinals, archbishops, bishops, and at the bottom are the ordinary clergy."
Franco explained this, and everyone understood.
The cardinal archbishop, who wants to marry the elven king, is only in the third level in the power structure of the Holy See of Light.
The elven race is indeed in decline, and the elven king, as the head, is certainly incomparable to the Bright Pope with the same status in name. But even if it's a cardinal who comes, how much can make the elves save a little face. But now it is a third-grade cardinal archbishop who is sent, which not only does not give face, but is simply a naked slap in the face.
"And that's not all!" Alice hasn't finished complaining yet.
"I heard my father say that the marriage they asked for this time was not the end goal. Judging from the series of actions of the people of the Bright Sect when they came to the Elven Royal Court, they wanted to swallow the Elven Race as a whole and become a vassal or even a puppet of the Bright Sect. ”
"I just don't want to be a prop for the Holy See to devour the elves, and I'm bent on sabotaging their plans. At the same time, he is also unwilling to marry an odious Bright Church believer. After thinking about it, he finally decided to sneak out. ”
As she said this, a hint of guilt flashed in Alice's eyes.
Franco and the others saw it in their eyes and knew it in their hearts.
In any case, when the clan encounters a major crisis, it is not a pleasant thing for anyone with a conscience to run away alone and not be able to fight side by side with the clan.
Perhaps it was during the time that the slave team was captured and weighed carefully, and Alice had already made a decision in her heart.
"So now I have to rush back immediately, as long as I can help my elves, I am willing to do whatever you want me to do!"
She said this through gritted teeth and categorically, obviously with great determination.
Speaking of which, the context of the crisis encountered by the elves has been roughly sorted out.
Outside, there are abyssal creatures attacking strongly, and inside, there seems to be a bright sect that has come to help, and it is suspicious to take advantage of the fire to rob. It can be imagined how the elf king is now anxious and in a dilemma.
After the introduction of the elves, Alice took Daniel's hand again and resumed the old topic.
"By the time I came out, our elves had been forced to shrink their defenses, and casualties had begun to appear among the clan. After this period of time, the losses may be even more severe. Let's hurry back and have one more person and more strength, and we can help a little bit. ”
Daniel felt embarrassed, and his eyes couldn't help but drift to Anthony to the side.
"Mr. Long, look ......"
Alice also understood that this young man surnamed Long was the one who made the idea, and pleaded with Anthony at the moment.
"Mr. Long, please."
For these human friends of Daniel, Princess Alice didn't pay much attention to it. The elves are now facing a crisis related to the survival of the race, and although these humans can be called elite, they can play a limited role in such a big scene.
However, after the catastrophe of the slave catchers, she finally realized that her own strength was not enough to come and go freely in human society. Even with the addition of compatriot Daniel, it is difficult for the two to say whether they can successfully return to the forest inhabited by the elves.
If this elite team can escort back together, the security aspect will definitely be greatly improved.
And Daniel also said that they were going to the elves to help, and now it is not an unacceptable request to let them speed up a little.
Such a peerless beauty whispered and begged, even the heart made of iron and stone melted.
Anthony smiled slightly and said, "Your Royal Highness doesn't have to be like this, you see, aren't we walking." ”
Alice looked up in amazement, and the tall city gate was close in front of her.
Only then did she realize that everyone had passed through half of the city before they knew it. Look at the direction, through this city gate, it is the road to the elven royal court.
"Thank you, Mr. Long."
Alice said gratefully.
Daniel, however, was a little apprehensive.
"Mr. Long, this, no problem, right?"
Like Alice, he was eager to put on his wings and fly back to the elven court immediately. But Anthony has explained before that he has 120 points of trust in this legendary companion, and he must have his reasons for not rushing to the other party. If Princess Alice's soft pleading disrupts the overall plan, it is called counterproductive.
Alice looked at her compatriot in bewilderment.
Wasn't you also in a hurry just now, what's going on?
Anthony over there waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we don't have to rush desperately, but it doesn't mean that we have to travel leisurely." Don't worry, I know it. ”
Hearing him say this, Daniel was relieved.
As long as Anthony is not affected by Princess Alice's "beauty trick", then there is nothing to worry about.
York took two steps closer to Anthony.
"Boss Long, the third child is still eating in the restaurant, let's leave him alone?"
York is a self-cooked, and he didn't even say a word to him, so he gave people a one, two, three. The most important thing is that he also ranks others behind himself. Later, when he learned that the third child in his mouth was the dark god who overturned hundreds of mercenaries in the dungeon with one move, he didn't know what kind of expression he would have.
Anthony glanced at him, an inexplicable smile on his lips.
"It's okay, let's just go, ignore him."
"Do you need to call him?"
"Not really, he'll find it himself. Don't worry, you can't get lost. ”
As it turned out, Anthony was right. Before they could reach the tall city gate, Omega, dressed in black, was already standing there coolly.
York stepped forward, as if trying to reach out and pat him on the shoulder. But seeing that the young man in black looked like he was not approaching, he finally withdrew his arm stupidly.
"Third child, you're finally here. I'll just say that you're a clever person, you must be able to find it yourself, and the others still don't believe it. Look, it's still me who has the most vision. ”
The thief laughed, so embarrassed.
