Chapter 590: Carding (Part II)
"Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer!"
It was the Dark Elf Elder Minister Sharpen, his voice low and hoarse, but unusually firm.
"So far, how much effort we have put into the development of humanity, in order to help that useless and inferior race, you even have the head of the Wizards' Guild, Sharan, stationed there to teach them magic. But what about them? They don't even know how to learn about Entu, and they even commit such an unforgivable crime. Alice's divination clearly pointed out that the culprit of the epidemic was humans, so what reason do we have to wait any longer for such a betrayal? In any case, this war is imperative. Your Majesty, hurry up and give the order, let the army march into Afaria, and we will let those who break the covenant taste the lesson of blood!"
Special note: The Elise in all the articles is actually Alice.
In the palace of the Dark City, dozens of Dark Elf elders of the main battle faction are surrounding Queen Maya, trying to convince her to fight the humans.
......
The cause of this incident was actually due to the sudden plague of Noypera, and in that short night, the entire Dark Elf village was left without a life. The news alarmed the entire Dark City, and the Dark Elves, in their grief, vowed to find out the root cause of the plague. They enlisted Alice for divination, from which they discovered that humans were involved in the plague. They could not imagine that humans, who had always been regarded as weak, who had always received their help, could be involved in this catastrophe. As a result, most of the dark elves broke out, unable to continue to think rationally and calmly, and only a strong desire for revenge remained in their minds.
In the face of the passionate senators, the queen's messenger Krent tried to reassure, "Alice's divination only says that there is a connection, and it does not clearly indicate that the murderer is human, and we have no definite evidence at present, if we insist on starting a war, there will be a great risk." We know magic, but let's not forget that there are far more humans than our dark elves. Although they don't know how to use magic, they have also studied ways to use their bodies to fight over the years, so in my opinion, the plague needs to be investigated more carefully, and emotions can't solve the problem. ”
"Heh, what are you afraid of?" Sharpen sneered and asked in a loud voice, "What are the humans to fear? They only use brute force, and they are not worthy of being compared to our dark elves." Hmph, it's because of people like you who are directly subordinate to the queen that His Majesty has been hesitant!"
Sharpen's words immediately drew echoes from the elders beside him.
"Yes. Crent, you're too exalted of humans, aren't you?"
"How could Alice's divination be wrong, and what else is there to check?"
"We should go sweep Belmar now!"
"Let those ungrateful guys get the lessons they deserve!"
Seeing that the anger of the ministers was uncontrollable, an old dark elf quietly walked out of the rioting crowd, stood aside and said respectfully:
"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, I'm Morgan the Alchemist. I have lost all my loved ones due to this contagion, and I have nothing left to worry about, so let me go to Neupera to find out. If it was really humans, no matter what method was used, I think we dark elves would avenge our loved ones and make humanity disappear from this continent completely. ”
His tone was calm, and he couldn't hear any emotion, or it was a sign of grief and anger to the extreme, because he had surpassed his limits and became more and more calm.
Queen Maya, who had been sitting quietly on the throne, finally broke her silence after listening to Morgan's words.
"Since Morgan has such a will, let's let it go and investigate. As the most authoritative alchemist in the kingdom, I think you'll be able to find out the origins of this plague. We will be waiting for your findings here. ”
Although the queen of the dark elves, Maya, has a very calm personality, which is one of the reasons why she can still sit on top of it under the pressure of the patriarchs.
It's just that this time the patriarchs obviously don't intend to let go so easily. "Your Majesty, time is pressing, the relationship between us and humanity has reached a stalemate at present, and if we don't start a war now, won't we give humanity time to prepare......"
"I understand what Sharprun means, but when it comes to war, you must not be hasty, this is a matter of survival for our dark elves, so we must first identify the spreaders of this plague before making a decision. In addition, we can also use this time to prepare a battle plan, preferably with Sharpen personally organizing the army, even if we start a war in the future, we must minimize the damage. Also, it is important to remember that no one will be allowed to act violently in the Kingdom without conclusive evidence. ”
Although the voice was quiet and gentle, it was unquestionable, and this was the Queen's order.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen. ”
The patriarchs, who were still in a mess just now, changed their previous grandeur and lowered their heads one after another and replied respectfully.
......
After the crowd dispersed, the palace of the Dark City returned to its former solemnity and solemnity.
After a long time, Krent returned to the door of the main hall again, carefully arranged his clothes, and walked towards the hall. Queen Maya was still sitting in the same seat that had been surrounded by ministers before, as if she was thinking about something.
"Your Majesty, I'm back. What do you command?"
"Come in, O Krent. ”
Krent took a deep breath and stepped into the inner sanctum, walking up to the queen.
"Is Morgan leaving?" the Queen's voice sounded tired.
"Yes, he packed his bags and set off shortly after the meeting. ”
"What do you think will happen if we go to war with humans?"
"With all due respect, although humans are inferior creatures in the eyes of our dark elves, they can't do magic, and they have a short lifespan, but their hidden abilities are indeed not to be underestimated, and if they start a war, they may threaten the lives of all dark elves. The queen frowned.
"Krent, I have something to ask you. Morgan alone I am afraid that there will be some danger, you go to the vicinity of Neupera to support him, and at the same time contact Sharan and ask her to gather some information about humanity. ”
"Yes. Krent was about to turn around and leave after receiving the order, when suddenly he stood there as if he had thought of something, and said with some hesitation, "That...... Her Majesty ......"
"Well, what's the matter?"
"I don't think the humans would want to go to war with us, because they are also afraid of the power of magic, and the Delos Empire has been fighting everywhere in the past few years, and there should be very few troops left to fight us.
