Chapter 2 The Beginning of Murder

The Imperial City, located at one end of an endless plain, is surrounded by mountains on one side. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The stream on the hill of Info flows through the Lirenia for many years, providing both water for the imperial city and a natural barrier. People from all tribes gather in this bustling metropolis and live an ordinary life. However, the beautiful tranquility of this morning can be occasionally broken by something unusual. An elf, dressed in a green cloak, rode a large bobcat through the crowd of people who were strolling around the morning market, but seemed to be blocked by the old ladies who were walking patiently in front of him. The elf was in a hurry, and the yellow ponytail swayed with the shaking of its head. That's right, that's Aurelia!

"Eh~! Let the trouble ahead, I have something urgent! ”

Aurelia rode on the back of the bobcat and shouted to the old men walking slowly in front of her, but her words were like stones sinking into the sea, and there was no echo. At this moment, at the corner of the street behind him, three soldiers with short swords tied to their waists, wearing light armor and steel helmets, panted in panic, as if they were chasing someone. One of them looked over and shouted with wide eyes

"There!"

When the other two soldiers heard this, they also spotted her, so they hurriedly chased after Aurelia and shouted as they pointed at her

"Stop, don't run!"

The bulky steel helmet slowly pressed down from his forehead with the shaking of running, which blocked his vision very much, and he could only straighten it with his hands from time to time. Aurelia looked back at the soldiers rushing towards her, and hurriedly patted the lynx under her in panic

"Let's go."

"Meow~!"

The bobcat raised its head and barked, bent its front legs slightly, and then leaped forward, easily leaping in front of the old men, and galloping in the direction of the palace. The old ladies looked at the behemoth that suddenly appeared in front of them, and their faces turned blue and screamed. The three soldiers looked at the backs that were getting farther and farther away, as if they were watching hope go away little by little, their legs softened at once, they sat on the ground panting, and complained unhappily

"Hah, huh, I told you, I don't allow rides in the city, huh, huh..."

・・・・・・

Aurelia finally arrived at the palace gate, breathing a sigh of relief, feeling the fragrance of the morning that she hadn't had time to enjoy. Although there is still a thin morning mist, the golden glazed tiles on the palace can still be seen clearly. The golden thread of the sun leaked through the big tree next to the palace, and when it hit the small pool in the palace, there was a pool of brilliance that could not be contained. She jumped down from the bobcat, patted it, and the bobcat screamed happily and ran into the woods beside it, lay down under a tree, and fell asleep. Aurelia smiled, then turned her head and was about to walk forward, but was stopped by two crossed hands, it turned out that there were two soldiers in front of her who had been ignored by her for a long time!

"Miss, stop, you are not allowed to enter here."

The soldier on the left said a little helplessly, then pursed his lips and just looked at her. Aurelia straightened her hair, looked at him with her big charming eyes, and asked in a puzzled tone with a slightly surprised look on her face,

"You don't know me?"

"Huh~? Well, I really don't know you, Miss. ”

The soldier was panicked by this question, he had only been here for a few days, and if he offended someone, he was afraid that he would be fired. He remembered that he had specially instructed a person from above, and the elf in front of him was a little more and more like it!

"Aurelia Gong..."

The soldier suddenly screamed and was about to blurt out, but his hand was tugged by the soldier on the right. Then the soldier on the right said respectfully

"Windrunner Elf—Miss Aurelia. I'm sorry, I'm so embarrassed. ”

"Humph! It's Miss Ben! ”

Aurelia put on a haughty look, shook her hands exaggeratedly, and swaggered in. When she was far away, the soldier said to his companion

"Thank you just now, I almost missed my mouth."

"Eh~, it's okay, I can only say that Princess Aurelia's background is too pitiful."

・・・・・・

"Yo! Isn't this Aurelia? ”

Inside the palace, a magnetic voice came from inside the palace, stimulating Aurelia's auditory nerves, but it wasn't cold to her. On the dragon chair in the main hall, a slightly fat, but very sturdy man was holding a red wine glass, looking at the young elf in front of him, and tasting the red wine in the cup with great interest. Aurelia ignored him and gave him a blank look

"Yes."

The man took a sip of red wine, smacked his lips, and said slowly,

"These white eyes are still so attractive!"

Aurelia pouted, her face covered with black lines, and her hands were on her waist,

"Dinas, you're about to be crowned king, can you still check the language?"

As she spoke, Aurelia walked over to the side of the seat for the guests and sat down, and continued to complain,

"You see that you are only twenty-five years old, and you have a beard all over your face, how will you find a daughter-in-law in the future?"

Dinas was embarrassed to be said, and subconsciously touched his beloved beard, but thought that this girl's mouth was getting worse and worse.

"Eh, let's not talk about this for now, you came to me this time, what's the matter?"

Dinas smiled and looked at the elf in front of him, he knew that she must have been called by her brother again.

"Oh, my brother asked me to tell you something."

Then, Aurelia told Dinas about what happened last night, and from time to time she gestured with her hands, and her eyebrows fluttered! Dinas tightened his brow as he listened

"Is it that serious?"

He asked rhetorically, he knew that this girl's speech was seven points true and three points false, but it was not much worse.

"Yes! It's true! ”

Aurelia sat up straight and replied in the affirmative. Dinas didn't say anything, but gently set the red wine glass aside, holding his chin in his hand, and thinking quietly. Aurelia looks like she's seen this look somewhere... It's in his brother's face!

"Eh, what the hell is going on?"

Driven by intense curiosity, Aurelia asked Dinas, who was sitting there without speaking. Dinas turned his head and glanced at her with melancholy eyes, then stood up, moved to the window, and spoke slowly,

"Twenty years ago, when you and your brother were only three years old, darkness covered the earth. The elves were the first to be persecuted, and your branch, the Twilight Elves, swung their knives at your village, and almost no elves survived that night. By the time my father arrived, your village was in ruins, and the soldiers were collecting water from the well at the entrance of the village when they found you hidden in buckets. And my father brought you back and gave them to your fellow kind. But it's not just you elves who have been slaughtered like this, there are many tribes..."

Dinas stopped and looked at Aurelia, her expression was very serious, she was not naughty just now, her pink fists were clenched tightly, and she kept shaking on her knees. My mind is constantly simulating the image of the slaughtered village.

"As soon as I heard you say it, they may be going to make a move again, we yearn for peace now, and we don't have the heart to fight anymore. There aren't many troops, let alone combat effectiveness..."

"Dinas! Send someone to my brother! ”

Aurelia suddenly rose from her seat excitedly, interrupting Dinas as she walked briskly up to Dinas and looked at him with those big eyes.

"Huh? Your brother? Where's your brother? ”

Dinas suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he was so engrossed in what he had just said that he had completely forgotten about Illidan.

"Forest of Elves!"

・・・・・・

At this moment, Illidan knelt in front of his village in the Elven Forest, bowing his head and sobbing in grief. The right fist hit the ground hard, but I didn't feel the pain

"It's late, it's late!"

Tears dripped on the dirt in front of him, staining the dry yellow ground with a hint of brown. In front of him, there were mud blocks of ruined houses, and the thatch on some of them was still burning with sparks and green smoke, and there was no trace of elves.

"Damn!"

Illidan gritted his teeth and swallowed tears into his stomach, his fists clenched tightly, and his face twitched with extreme anger. Just as he was about to have a seizure, a voice came,

"Here's one!"

He glared and turned around slowly, only to see dozens of elves appear behind him, all with silver-white hair, wearing heavy armor, each with a large shoulder armor on their left arm, and pointed ears, not unlike Illidan's, but gray in complexion—the Twilight Elves!

"Haha! Finally found one! Then I'll cut you first! Above! ”

The Twilight Elf at the head said, waving the broadsword in his left hand and rushing forward!

"You slaughtered our village, I want revenge!"

Illidan's brain was filled with rage, and he put the bow and arrow on the ground on his back, and with both hands, he drew two silver scimitars from the sides of his calves, and kicked his left foot with a powerful kick! He followed the trampled dirt and rushed to the Twilight Elf on the other side

・・・・・・

The south gate of the Imperial City was open as usual, except that a group of soldiers with swords and shields hurried towards the Elven Forest in the distance. Everyone had a solemn look on their faces, and they knew that if they were a little late, that person would be in more danger・・・・・・
