"Before I begin, allow me to ask one more question. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Standing in the center of the longhouse, Loren was surrounded by the elven elders, and he raised his right hand with a smile and snapped his fingers: "What do you want from me, what is the truth...... Or is it the truth you want?"

The expressions of the elders, who were originally mild-looking, suddenly turned cold, and Elder Born coughed: "Your Excellency Loren Turin, we invite you here because we want to ......."

"I want to tell you respected elders that everything that happened to the Great Tree Wall was an accident and had nothing to do with any external factors!"

Loren, who had cut off the conversation, continued to talk to himself: "And this year's ogre invasion is no different from the past, as long as the eastern elves are united, they will definitely be able to overcome difficulties and defeat strong enemies...... Anyway, that's it, where I said something wrong, I hope to point out my mistakes. ”

"You ......"

"If you really want to hear me talk nonsense, then there is no need for me to stay any longer, and I don't need any support from the Duchy of Lothair!" A farewell salute was casually performed, and Loren's tone was full of mockery: "May you all be victorious, defeat the strong enemy, and retire first!"

"Stop!"

The black-haired wizard had just turned around when Elder Bohn, who was sitting in the chair, stood up directly: "Your Excellency Loren Turin, we treat you as a guest, but we don't give you the right to humiliate us at will!"

"This is the Morning Star Forest, not a place where you can come and go at will!" the other elder also roared angrily, "If you don't intend to help us, then what's the intention?!"

Loren, who was facing away from the elven elders, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, but deliberately shook his head and spread his hands: "I thought I had proved with my actions that I was here to do something." ”

The elven elder who had just stood up was immediately speechless - they had all heard about the Great Tree Wall from Luca's mouth, and if it weren't for this human wizard, it would be nonsense to recapture the gap.

And now, it's a joke that I still have to ask the other party what his intentions are.

"Please forgive us for the misnomer, but please don't try to provoke us. After calming down and reaching a tacit understanding with the elders around him, Elder Born slowly spoke: "If you really find something, we are willing to listen and then make a judgment. ”

After pondering for a moment, Loren's gaze remained focused on Elder Bourne—this Elven Elder was the most authoritative one in the entire Morning Star Forest, and he was the only one he had to convince.

"I'd like to ask you to tell me first, how much do you know about a monster like an ogre?"

"Clearly. Elder Born sat down in his chair steadily, his pride overflowing, "I used to be a war dancer, and there is no second elf in the entire Morning Star Forest settlement, or even in the entire Eastern Forest, who knows more about these monsters than I do. ”

"That's why I don't believe that these monsters have any weird powers, or suddenly become smart - they are very terrible monsters, extremely brutal, but it doesn't mean that they have brains!"

"They don't have brains, but they still have faith. Loren said lightly: "Just as the elves believe in the power of ancient trees, ogres also have gods to believe in...... Of course, it must be an evil god. ”

"That's right, they tend to perform huge rituals after slaughtering an elven colony, if you call that a ritual. Elder Born's expression became heavy:

"We call it 'Mezca' because that's what the ogres call it. ”

"Did you hear that once?"

"Only once. Elder Born's expression was ugly: "It may seem to you that we will only cower behind the big tree wall, but in fact, the war dancers of the Morning Star Forest have also gone on expeditions outside the wall, fought the ogres farther away in the Ancient Wood Forest, and even rebuilt the ancient settlement!"

"That's right, the elves of the eastern forests were once colonized even beyond the great tree walls, and the brave and warlike dancers even hunted trolls in the southern wilderness. ”

The black-haired wizard bowed slightly: "But now that the power of the ogres has spread all over the Great Tree Wall, the former settlement no longer exists." ”

This is one of the biggest advantages of having Asriel, as Loren only needs to spend a small amount of time to glance at the treasures of the Morning Star Forest Settlement, and he can "memorize" all the content and use it when he needs it.

"Not all. Elder Born replied coldly, "We have revived the Eternal Night Forest beyond the Great Tree Wall, where the Cloudcrown Tree is as old as the Morning Star Forest. Unfortunately, we failed. ”

"Hundreds of war dancers throughout the Eastern Forest fought bloodily to defend the Eternal Night Forest, but they still failed! We watched as the elves of the entire settlement were slaughtered, screaming and wailing like livestock, and turned into sacrifices to 'Metzka'!"

Elder Born's voice trembled, "You haven't seen anything like that, you've only read it in words, so don't tell me how terrible ogres are, how cowardly we are, you don't know anything at all!"

"I only know one thing. Loren slowly raised his head and looked at the trembling elven elder: "Since then, the war dancers of the Eastern Forest have never crossed the big tree wall. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?!"

"I would like to say that you made a big mistake by accident. The black-haired wizard spoke slowly, "Whether it is destroying the wall of a large tree or driving the ogre to invade, these powers are beyond the scope of all imagination, and they are not something that ordinary creatures can do. ”

"The only one who can do this is 'Madza' - what you don't know is that the blood sacrifice awakened this evil god and allowed it to descend into the world. ”

"What did you say?!"

"It can't be!"

"How could this be?!"

It was normal for them to be stunned, and when Loren heard it from Asreel, it was no less astonished than they were.

"I'm just telling you what I've seen with my own eyes and everything I know. The black pupils reflected the stunned and even overwhelmed appearance of the elves, and Loren's expression gradually became solemn: "This is a war that can be ended without ordinary means!"

The elven elders didn't hear what he said, and they were still arguing fiercely, their expressions flustered and their words confused, this sudden "answer" had made them lose their minds, and they didn't even know whether to believe it or not.

"It's all quiet!"

Elder Born, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly shouted, and the noisy hall was silent again: "So according to what you say, what exactly can be done to end this ogre invasion?"

"It's very simple. ”

The black-haired wizard looked at the elders present with a reasonable expression: "Just like back then, how the former War Dancers recaptured the Eternal Night Forest, and this time they still take it back in the same way!"

"You, you don't mean ......"

"Expedition beyond the walls of the Great Tree, retake the Eternal Night Forest, and drive Metzka back where it should have been—this is the only way to end this ogre invasion that shouldn't have been!"

"It's easy for you to say, this kind of thing ......"

"What the hell should I do?!" Born took the initiative to interrupt the angry elder and stared at Loren's expression: "If we really organize an expedition, can you guarantee that we can expel that 'evil god' from this world?!"

"I'm absolutely sure, otherwise I wouldn't have said it. ”

Loren's expression was as usual, as if he was saying something trivial and worthless: "Since I made the suggestion, of course I myself will join this expedition." ”

"Trust my sincerity, for I'm not just fighting for you, and if the ogre army destroys you, the next step is the Duchy of Lothair. If I could, I would never want to see that day come!"

Bohn glanced at him complicatedly, fell into hesitation, and hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking: "This needs to be discussed carefully, and we will inform you when we think it through, now please go back and rest." ”

"I'm going to do everything I can to help you. The dark-haired wizard with a cold gaze swept them across and turned to leave.

"But only if you can truly trust me, not be wary!"
