Chapter 713: Meeting the Elven King
Sou!
The sound of breaking the air behind him sounded, and this time the perception was fully opened, and Sherlock, who had been paying attention, naturally would not be shot so easily, and used the thorn of shadow to forcibly change the direction of his running, and successfully dodged this arrow.
Sou!
Tree Escape!
Sherlock, who instantly appeared a hundred feet away, dodged an arrow again.
After two arrows, the distance between Sherlock and the archer did not widen too far, after all, the Ranger was no worse than the druid in the field.
However, at this distance, he can operate much more space, and he doesn't have to hand in displacement skills every time.
The two chased and fled, and soon left the rest behind.
After chasing like this for more than half an hour, and after confirming that the space mage did not follow, Sherlock resolutely escaped into the shadow plane and escaped the archer's pursuit.
Following the route in his memory, he ran on the shadow plane for a long time, and when he returned to the main material plane, he was already near the Bow Valley, which was a relatively safe area.
Then, after a round with his two natural companions, he returned to the Comanso Forest with the people.
As soon as he returned to the forest, Luke, who had been waiting on the edge, greeted him with someone: "Boss, you have finally returned, have you found the golden elf?" ”
Sherlock nodded, and put Marissa down on his back, "Find someone to bring news to Yoros." “
"Got it." Luke looked aside and asked curiously, "Boss, what's going on with these people." ”
"It's a long story."
Most of the people Sherlock rescued had left on their own, and the rest were poor people who had lost themselves and had been tortured, and they didn't remember anything except to follow his orders, so he had to bring them back together.
"Boss, you can make such a big deal when you go to Sambia, aren't you afraid that the Elven Council will trouble you?" Luke also heard the news, his mouth was worried, but his eyes were full of envy, and he probably regretted that he didn't go with him.
"I'm here to save Marissa, and the Elven Council might be happy to see this happen." Sherlock said thoughtfully.
The group returned to the half-elf camp, and Yoros quickly arrived with his men.
After the father-daughter scene, Yuros showed that arrogant expression again: "Sherlock, I heard that you brought some outsiders into the Comanso Forest. ”
"Yes, they are all poor people who have been taken captive like your daughter, and they are homeless, so I will bring them back first without permission, please rest assured, I will find a way to settle them immediately." Sherlock explained.
"These lowly lives deserve to be compared to my daughter." Yuros blushed and shouted, "You are the captain of the patrol, and you will not forget the rules of Comanso." ”
The elves do not allow outsiders to enter the interior of the Comanso Forest, and it is a felony to bring people in without permission, which can be permanently expelled or executed.
It's just that in the past 100 years, this rule has existed in name only.
And it is the elves themselves who break this rule.
Now Yuros has taken it out again to talk about things, and Chun Shatter is deliberately looking for trouble.
"Nian has found my daughter, I can not hold you responsible, but these people, you must hand them over to me."
Sherlock didn't know what Yoros was trying to do at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he seemed to understand a little: "What do you want to do with it?" ”
"It's not your turn. Either you give them to me today, or you can get out of the Comanso Forest with them. ”
"Mr. Yoros, you don't seem to have the authority to decide whether I go or stay." Sherlock didn't want to be false anymore, and said with a chuckle.
"I don't, the Elven Council always has it, you bring people into the forest without permission, and when I go back, I will ask the Council to remove you from the position of patrol leader, and then expel all of you from the Comanso Forest."
"Then wait until you bring the council's ruling, don't send it."
"I hope the next time I come, you'll be so hard-mouthed."
"There's no next time, Yoros!" An old voice suddenly rang out.
"Who ...... that" Yuros couldn't finish his sentence when he was struck by a spell and fell to the ground with convulsions.
"Lord Clinchy! It's Silinsy-sama! ”
"Mistress Selincy is still alive!"
"Mistress Siriss is back!"
……
With a burst of shouts, a half-elf in a black robe slowly walked out.
"Selinchy...... My lord. "Sherlock has seen Siricy in the form of Lori, and this Siricy in front of her should not have been healed by the goddess of magic, and is still in the form of an elf lich.
As the most powerful of the half-elves, Silinhy's magical talent is rarely matched even by the elves, otherwise she would not be favored by the goddess of magic.
And in order to gain greater power, she also went astray and transformed into a lich.
It's just that in addition to her amazing magical talent, her willpower is also terrifying, and even the magic of the lich can't make her fall, and she always maintains a kind heart.
But it is precisely because of this that her body has suffered irreversible damage and endures inhuman pain almost all the time.
"Sherlock, Your Majesty Eltagrim wants to see you." Selincy walked up to Sherlock and said slowly.
"Your Majesty Eltagrim wants to see me?" Sherlock exclaimed.
Elta Grim is now the crown bearer of the elves, the king of the elves, and the legendary hero who later founded Mistronor and allowed the afterglow of the elves to shine again.
It's really strange for this kind of character to want to meet him as a little patrol leader.
"That's right, come with me." Silinxi glanced at Yuros who was getting up again: "As for the people here, it's going to be fine, right!" “
"Yes, yes, it's going to be fine!" Yuros hurriedly said that if he knew that Silinxi was still alive, he would never dare to be so arrogant to the half-elves.
Now that a bigwig-level figure like Sirin Hee has come out, Sherlock naturally has no worries, and follows the other party to teleport to the Elven King Capital located at the core of the Comanso Forest.
Before the construction of Mistrono, the elven kings were completely different from the worldly cities of humans, you can hardly see any unnatural buildings here, and even the palace of the crown king was built on an ancient tree, which looked very simple.
Of course, if you know the origin of this ancient tree, you will find out what a luxurious race the elves are.
"You seem to know me?" Celincy said suddenly.
"I've grown up listening to your stories, Lord Clinsy." Sherlock casually made up a reason.
"Really, little one?" Celincy apparently found something more, but instead of asking, she talked about the current situation of the half-elves.
Silincy was born as a half-elf, and has been trying her best to alleviate the conflict between the elves and the half-elves.
It's just that she, a magical genius, is really not good at this kind of thing;
Second, since she became an elf lich, she also needs to spend a lot of energy to suppress her evil thoughts, so she rarely appears in front of the world again.
This time, it was because of the Valley Bottom Entente, entrusted by the Elven Crowning King, that she ended her self-sealing trip.
I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing as soon as I came out, so I naturally had to ask the half-elf clan about their situation in recent years.
After listening to Sherlock's description, Silinchy couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that you are better than me, no wonder Eltagrim wants to see you." ”
"Is there anything important that Eltagrim is looking for me?" Sherlock asked.
"This, you will know it when you see him, go in."
With a gentle tap, Sherlock walked through a foliage to a large room.
On the desk in the center of the room, a handsome golden elf was holding a book, reading with relish.
Seeing someone come in, he put down his book and asked, "Sherlock, have you read human books?" ”
This kind-looking middle-aged man is not surprisingly the Elven Crowned King Elta Grim, Sherlock replied earnestly, "I've seen quite a bit." “
"Oh, that's pretty remarkable." Al Tagrim said as he raised the book in his hand, "Have you read this one?" “
Sherlock then realized that the book in Eltagrim's hand did not seem to be in the language of the elves, but more like the lingua franca of later generations.
The lingua franca of later generations was developed in the languages of Cormir and Sambia, and he could barely make out the words on them.
"Elven Prince's ...... Love...... ......Sherlock was a little hard to believe the result of his translation: "Your Majesty, I don't know much about human language, maybe ......, maybe ......"
"No, you're already good, this book is called "The Romance of the Elven Prince", and it is about the love history of my youth in the human world with many noble ladies." Eltagrim was unashamed to describe the contents of the book.
"Well, I didn't expect His Majesty to be proficient in human language."
"Interesting, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes." If the big guy says it's interesting, that's fun.
"Then this book will be given to you, you can take a good look at it when you go back." Elta Grim casually threw the book over.
"I will definitely study hard."
"Why, learn how to seduce a human lady into bed?" Eltagrim suddenly laughed and teased.
"Poof!" Sherlock almost didn't hold back, and forcibly tightened his face before he said seriously: "You can say that, but the way to get along with humans is really worth learning." ”
"What ......," Eltagrim's gaze met, "how do you think we should get along with humans?" “
Finally got to the point, Sherlock was sure in his heart, and said firmly: "Mutual benefit and win-win!" ”
"Mutual benefit and win-win, this is a good word, how to achieve it?"
You know better than I know how to do it, and Sherlock directly copied the establishment process of the later Mistrono.
The establishment of Mistron was originally proposed by Eltagrim, and when I heard it at this moment, I naturally felt that I hated to see each other too late.
When Sherlock finished speaking, Elta Grim couldn't help but laugh and said, "I also imagined such a future, but if I want to realize this dream, the contradictions between races are the first difficulty. So, I'm ready to make a peace pact with the people of the Valley. “
"A peace deal?" Sherlock pretended not to know.
"In return for my promise not to continue cutting down the Komanso woodlands, I can allow the valley people to settle on the edge of the forest where there are no giant trees to grow.
But it's not an easy task, whether it's elves or humans, by the way, you half-elves, there are different voices within the community.
Do you know how to make all the voices unified? “
"Uh...... Coercion, inducement? Sherlock replied tentatively.
"Hahahaha, it's true that you can say that, but I prefer the term Enwei and Shi." Eltagrim laughed, "And that's exactly what I need you to do. ”
"I'm here to help, Your Majesty." Although Sherlock hasn't figured out the situation yet, he won't lose a task first.
"I'm going to send a mission to the valleys for exchanges, and I need some of your necessary assistance in them."
"Necessary aids, referring to ......"
"What you did yesterday in Sambia was very good."
"You mean......" Sherlock's eyes flashed, "I see, Your Majesty!" “
At present, the elves really need to reach some kind of peace agreement with the human race, so they have been trying to avoid conflict between the two races, and are even willing to pay some necessary price for this.
But peace is never something that can be sought by groveling.
In addition to favor, a certain degree of coercion is also essential.
Only if you show enough strength will others respect your ideas.
It's just that the elves obviously have a civilization and power far beyond humans, but they are proud of it, but they don't bother to show this power to humans at all.
This has allowed arrogant human beings to breed more and more desires and greater ambitions.
As a result, the signing of the Valley Floor Agreement has caused a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Eltagrim was ready to make more compromises, but Sherlock's disturbances in Sambia gave him hope of breaking the game from another point.
"Sherlock, this time I will have Silinchy come forward as the nominal leader of the mission, but secretly I will ask her to fully cooperate with your work, and your only task is to find a way to reduce the resistance of humans in the valley to the peace entente, whether it is by force or profit." Eltagrim said solemnly.
"Thank you for your trust, I will definitely make the valley resounding with the prestige of the elves!" Sherlock said solemnly
"Hahahaha, then I'm looking forward to your performance."
