Chapter 244: Archduke Edward

"Sure enough......" Archduke Edward's heart tightened, of course he knew what was in the Whispering Forest, and what the duties of the elves were. 3,000 years ago, when the Supreme King summoned the elites of the continent to attack Hell, the elves were given the task of guarding the Hell Forge Furnace, and some ancient families also formed the Hell Forge Guardian Knights under the instructions of the High King. Archduke Edward is a descendant of such a family, and after taking over the family scepter, he learned of this secret, and has been collecting strong orphans and providing weapons for the elves to replenish the Hellforge Guardian Knights.

Now the elves have sent such a noble princess to say that the Whispering Forest has a lot to do with the demons.

Hawkins, as the nighthawk of the elves, is the intermediary between the Grand Duke and the elves in the transfer of information and materials, his identity is extremely secret, since the other party mentioned Hawkins, and Rebecca is indeed an elf, so the Grand Duke Edward does not have any suspicions.

He respectfully invited Rebecca and her party into the hall of the castle, and Rebecca's courtesy also showed the nobility of her origin.

The guests of honor walked into the hall together, and Ling Xiao and the others were stopped by a knight at the door: "A few princesses, please come with me to the next door to rest, we have prepared the best ale and barbecue, and your horses will be best cared for." ”

Rebecca had already entered the state of performance, and there was still a little bit of her usual off-line appearance, she was as polite as a real princess, and said to Archduke Edward: "These are not my attendants, but my friends, and I hope to have their seats at your long table, Grand Duke." ”

Edward also regarded Ling Xiao as the knights of the Hellforge Guardian Knights, who came to protect Princess Windwhisper. Unexpectedly, this elf princess actually called them friends and leveled the status between them. Archduke Edward, who didn't know the identities of Ling Xiao's people, expressed a certain bearing, he first expressed his apologies, and invited Ling Xiao and the others to enter his castle hall together.

Ling Xiao and a few people took off their robes and sat down on both sides of the long table with the Grand Duke's vassals as guests of honor.

Archduke Edward and Rebecca greeted each other with honorifics, and then the Grand Duke asked implicitly, "What is going on in the Whispering Forest, I need Her Royal Highness the Princess to come to me personally." ”

Rebecca said with a worried expression, "Your Excellency should know the duties of our elves in the Whispering Forest, we recently discovered the Hellforge ......"

But before Rebecca could finish speaking, the squire broke in again.

Now it was not the Imperial Council, but the envoys of the elves, among whom were the noble princesses, and this rash intrusion was rude and degraded to the face of the nobles. Archduke Edward suppressed the urge to be angry, and was already thinking about how to punish the squire.

Who would have thought that the squire rushed in and did not immediately say the reason, but made a gesture to the guards who were guarding the perimeter of the hall. This is the most urgent code, which means that someone will threaten the life of the Grand Duke.

The guards immediately drew their swords and gathered around the Grand Duke of Edward, and the vassals also stood up nervously, surrounding the Grand Duke to be vigilant for a possible attack. Only Ling Xiao and the others were still sitting there, secretly happy with this dramatic scene, it was so boring to have a dull meal.

"What happened?" Grand Duke Edward pushed away the guards standing in front of him, and now he was really angry, the squire had made him lose face in front of the elves.

The attendant glanced vigilantly at Ling Xiao and the others who were sitting honestly, and took out something and presented it to Grand Duke Edward: "Lord Duke, there are four elves outside who ask to see them, and they say that they are messengers of the elves, and they asked me to pass this badge to you?" ”

"Elves! Messenger! ”

Everyone looked at Rebecca, if the elves outside were messengers, then who were they?

The squire continued: "The elves outside said that the Duke knew this badge, and said that a group of elves in the Whispering Forest had joined the demons, and the demons sent them out to assassinate the ancient guardian families on the continent along with a group of fallen humans, and as one of the ancient guardian families, they warned us to protect the safety of the Grand Duke. ”

Grand Duke Edward is the Ancient Guardian, and there are fallen elves and humans who want to assassinate him!

Everyone looked at Ling Xiao and Rebecca together, and turned their weapons on. It is clear that these people very much echo the description of the Elven Courier, who pretended to be the Elven Courier and in fact wanted to assassinate Archduke Edward.

Archduke Edward did not take the squire's testimonials, and although the elven badge he handed over was genuine, a badge did not mean anything. He looked at Rebecca and her friends, who had not done anything now, and they looked very calm, as if they were not being accused of them, and turned a blind eye to the various weapons pointed at them.

"Princess Windwhisper, I'm very sorry for the current situation," Archduke Edward still used an honorific to Rebecca, "Are we going to bring in these four elves who also call themselves elven messengers, I think you will be able to clear up this misunderstanding when you meet." ”

"Of course," Rebecca didn't hesitate, the role status of these four elves in this drama is constantly rising, and she is very much looking forward to what kind of plot the four villains will bring this time. As for the confrontation? Everyone is a false messenger, it depends on who can pretend better......

"Call them in, one of us is fake."

Soon Cecilia's four elves were brought in, and their beautiful appearance and irritating clothes caused all the men to whistle in their hearts.

"Hello Lord Duke, I bring you greetings from the Elven Council, may the gods bless you. Also, about the Hellforge we need your help. Cecilia gave Edward an elven salute, and then pretended to be surprised when she saw Ling Xiao and a few people: "Who are you, there is even an elf, don't you know that elves can't leave the Whispering Forest casually without the approval of the council?" Except for the Fallen......"

Cecilia showed the envy of Ling Xiao's professional actors, and she drew her twin knives and showed extreme hostility towards several "imposters", as if she would pounce on them and kill them at any time.

The other three elves also showed their weapons, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and everyone was induced to think that Ling Xiao was a believer in the demon, even Archduke Edward was inclined to believe Cecilia, and her performance was indeed infectious.

However, just as Archduke Edward was about to give the order to arrest Ling Xiao and the others, the attendant just now hurriedly broke in.

"Lord Duke, it's not good, outside, outside...... There is another elf outside, and she also calls herself the messenger of the elves. (To be continued.) )
