Chapter 92: The Road from Far Away (Part II)
"Are you crazy or stupid to serve the man who kidnapped your mentor?!
Facing the female elf who was stunned and roaring at him, the corner of Loren's mouth twitched: "About whether to send him to death...... I think that's really debatable!"
In the empty tavern room, a certain leader of the Night's Watch and her mentor had left, leaving only the elves who had chased her all the way, and the dark-haired wizard she had blocked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Leah was almost mad at this guy, and she didn't understand why he would agree to such harsh conditions, and even willingly go to work for a person who planned to kill him a second ago, and still do something that was completely equivalent to death.
Yes, although the female elf doesn't know what the hell "Ebolden" is, you can understand by listening to the tone of the conversation between these two people, this is to send them to death!
The most extreme thing is that he actually planned to sneak away from him and say goodbye without saying a word - if it weren't for the old man with golden eyes, he would have almost let Loren run away!
"So what's the difference, didn't you let that bastard succeed?!" Liya still didn't understand: "Aren't you quite smart, how can you make him so satisfied?!"
"Because this time I really don't have a lot of options, it's not a matter of yes or no, it's about going to Eberden anyway, and not just because of the threat. β
Sighing softly, Loren, who had a regretful expression just now, suddenly laughed: "But then again...... Golden-eyed hairy curls?hmm...... It's quite vivid. β
The indignant female elf didn't want to pay attention to him at all, and turned around and walked to the corner with her back to the black-haired wizard with a cold snort, and the awkward atmosphere was brought to an even more embarrassing situation by Loren's "cold joke".
The smile on Loren's face faded, and he stared at the candle on the tableβthough he probably wouldn't have thought of going to Ebotden if it weren't for Root-Infinit, but now he had to go.
His Excellency, the leader of the Night's Watch, knew from the beginning that Isaac Grantham was missing, and the reason why he stayed until the end was to prepare for the final blow and cut off his last retreat. Even for the sake of friends, he had to go to Ebolden to find out what was going on.
And Loren has a strong premonition that the reason why the other party mentioned Isaac is probably not only because of himself, it is very likely that this conceited guy is also somewhat involved in the whole incident, and it may even be deeper than he imagined.
In fact, when he first heard the title "Young Genius Wizard", his first reaction was Isaac Grantham. It's because this guy impresses him so much that it makes Loren hard to believe that there are people more talented than him.
This time, however, it was the recipe for the alchemy potion that Ain Rand was studying - although Isaac was indeed genius enough, he studied the occult and knew almost nothing about alchemy.
Or, to put it another way, the brilliant Isaac Grantham didn't bother to know anything about alchemy, because these things were only a superficial use of the power of the Void, and in his concept they were only slightly better than the "spells" that Loren specialized in.
In the silent room, facing the black-haired wizard who didn't want to explain, the heartbroken female elf finally couldn't help but slowly turn her head, looked at the other party's apologetic smile, and said tremblingly:
"So...... You don't care how other people react when you suddenly disappear, do you, or do you think it doesn't matter at all, and it's not worth worrying about at all?"
"I've never thought of it that way......"
"Leuven Fried, your Lord Earl has come to the door himself. The expressionless female elf stared at him: "He seems to have decided that something has happened to you, forcing us to hand you over, otherwise we will sever the alliance with the Morning Star Forest, and he also brought the army to the guard tower on the border of the Ancient Wood Forest." β
"If it weren't for Ain Rand to explain to him and persuade your Lord Earl to withdraw his troops, the knights of the Duchy of Lothair would have attacked the Morning Star Forest by now, right?"
Loren slowly lowered his head, and Leah continued: "And the war dancers of the expedition team who have followed you, they are also constantly looking for you, and they are even about to overturn the entire Morning Star Forest, and many guys have sworn to avenge you - I'm afraid that before the knights of the Deep Forest Castle attack, there may be a civil war in the Eastern Forest, and it is because of you!"
"I ...... I didn't expect that. The black-haired wizard raised his hands helplessly, and his voice was much lower: "Actually, I thought at first that there wouldn't be many willing ...... at all."
"There aren't many guys willing to do stupid things for you, are they?"
β...... yes, that's it. He confessed.
"I don't know why you're the way you are, but Loren, you're not alone. The female elf looked at him with a lonely expression: "You have friends you can trust, people who can rely on each other, not everything has to be carried by yourself, that would be too heavy for you!"
Leah's voice was unprecedentedly quiet, even a little trilling, and there seemed to be a bit of pleading in her expression, expecting the black-haired wizard to promise her and believe her, and even giving Loren the illusion that no matter what she asked now, she would not refuse herself.
Is...... Beyond the temptation of imagination, unfortunately I had to refuse.
"Why?!"
"Because that Ruth Infinit would never agree to let me bring a powerful war dancer to Ebolden, even threatening him. Loren shook his head: "Of course, this is just my speculation, and more importantly, I can't trust him." β
"Although he said he would keep his promises, the credibility was infinitely close to zero - I couldn't protect everyone, Ebolden would be dangerous, and I wasn't even sure if I could protect myself, so I had to go alone. β
"Then don't go at all, why do you have to promise that bastard?!"
"Because his power is beyond imagination, more terrifying than the Earl of Deep Limburg, or even the entire Duchy of Lothair. It's not just the strength on the surface, it's that they can hunt down anyone at any time and anywhere, and they don't even have a chance to escape!"
Sighing helplessly, Loren seemed to be talking to himself: "I can't trust this kind of person to keep his promises, and if he has the chance, he will still threaten me with my friends - I don't even know who I should trust!"
"You can trust me, Loren. Leah murmured softly, her eyes soft, completely devoid of her usual ability and disdain, and stared at the black-haired wizard quietly: "I can follow you to the Eternal Night Forest without frowning - and the same is true for that Ebolden!"
"No, this time I need you to do something else for me. Loren shook his head: "If it's just me, even if I can't complete the mission, I have the confidence to escape, and the real thing is that I can't let this guy have a handle on me anymore." β
"So at least until you see me with your own eyes, please don't believe anything about me, don't try to contact me, protect Aynrand and yourself, and form an alliance with Deepwoodburg and the Duchy of Lothair, this guy is cunning, but luckily his forces haven't penetrated the Oldwood Forest yet. β
In other words, he probably doesn't have elves to do anything for him - more likely, of course, it's too remote for the Night's Watch to infiltrate here.
The female elf struggled for a moment, but still sighed softly, staring at Loren, with a bit of self-abandonment in her voice: "You still can't trust me, right?"
"Indeed...... But that was once. A big smile appeared on Loren's face: "If you can't even trust the life-saving benefactor who saved my life and brought me back from the Eternal Night Forest, then who else can I trust?"
"For the sake of my mentor, I can work for Rut Infinit, for you...... I can let him die!"
