The Indigo Forest, a forest of lush trees surrounding a single ancient giant tree.

Each tree with a diameter of more than ten steps will be transformed into a tree hole house by the forest dwellers, the elves, in addition to the separate wooden house dwellings, but they are so hidden that outsiders who break into the forest will be arrested by the forest dwellers or hunted as a danger maker before they can be identified.

The giant tree in the center is older than every elf here, and its interior is also the meeting place of the five elders.

On this day, the giant tree received a number of letters in a row, all from informants planted in the Terran city by the elven forces.

Paisi shuttled back and forth between the treetops, caught by the young elves who were watching, and then entered the giant tree through the main entrance, and handed it over to the elders.

This act of transmission continued into the evening.

"The royal family is exiled," Richards said to the rest of the elders, looking at the latest letter, "and that is several of Zangwill's wives and children, all secretly exiled during the night. ”

"This does not bode well."

"Yes, it represents a message," said the other elders, "and it is impossible for Zangwill, as king, to be exiled from his own family." ”

"Has he lost power?"

"I think he's probably dead, but he hasn't announced it in Silversmith City," Richards said with a sigh as he threw away the letter, saying that there were so many things that had happened that day, "Let's deliberate, don't we infer that the bastard has a great power, maybe that power has already eliminated Zangwill, and the ministers have to bow down to the bastard for now." ”

"Have you decided? If the bastard takes control of the Scarlet Kingdom, she will most likely tell all her subjects—that she is the daughter of Hannah, the queen of the Terrans, and Hicks, the king of the elves," one of the elders said to the eldest, Wilmot, "including the people of the forest, if they knew of this, the position of the council would be shaken, and the people might be inclined to peace and accept the half-blood." ”

The four elders looked at Wilmot in the chair, and the "decision" that the previous elder asked was the decision to ask for help from the god of the wood, and they agreed to stop it in time to kill her before the watchmoon could release the authoritative news.

The god of wood, Mori, made a pact with the ancient elves in recognition of their great contributions to the war between gods and demons, and each generation of the Indigo Forest could trade with the gods on special terms - sacrificing a magically qualified person in exchange for the killing of the wishing target.

Looking at the entire clan, there are only five elders who meet the standard of magic power in the eyes of Maury, so this is a trading right that must not be used unless it is critical.

"We haven't yet made it clear that the exile of Zangwill's family doesn't mean much, maybe it's the Vermilion Kingdom's deal with illegitimate daughters... Some kind of ruse. Wilmot said slowly.

"It's possible," the other elders chimed in, "but Judd, the strongest warrior in the Vermilion Kingdom, and Nebet, the slightly younger but illustrious magician, are in close contact with us, and the two of them, with the exception of King Zangwill, are the ones who can best represent the Scarlet Kingdom and consult with us against the illegitimate daughters... Neither the two of them, nor the acting king himself, informed us in advance of their plans for today. ”

"After all, what they think about is the interests of the Vermilion Kingdom," Richards said complainingly, clasping his hands together, "It's not like everything will exchange opinions with us, so we bought and installed someone else, didn't we?" ”

"Yes, but these two people have the strength of the kingdom's army, and it is impossible to easily defeat the battle and let the illegitimate daughter enter the city and do whatever she wants, so it may not be that the power held by the illegitimate daughter subverted the palace of the silver scarlet city, but they did it on purpose, but they did it without communicating with us."

"Bastards are also enemies of the council, and they have no reason to take care of her drudgery on their own, so what's the benefit of keeping it secret?"

After waiting for a long time, the anxious deliberation began again, and it seemed to return to the previous topic.

Until there was a loud crash in the forest, and the cups on the table shook, blocking the communication of several elders, and a few seconds later, the young elven warrior pushed open the door and saluted to report the emergency.

"Elders, a bag of heavy objects has fallen from the sky, and I don't know what it contains," he said, "and the warriors of the forest have now maintained their vigilance against the bag and the sky, please decide." ”

The five elders followed him to the scene of the incident, only to see a sturdy huge bag of unknown material, filled with heavy objects, and smashed a deep pit in the forest meadow, leaving the result of soil splashing everywhere.

The elven warrior quietly stood behind the tree, on the treetops, with bows and arrows, watching the night sky of the double full moon, because the bag of items was quietly falling from the vertical sky.

However, nothing was found - the moon stars are rare.

"This is!?" After using his observation magic to confirm that it was not a dangerous item, Richards took the lead and opened it with his magic, and the stacked items were spread out at once.

"I recognize... Armor of the warrior Judd! An elder pointed out.

Among the scattered items on the floor was Judd's special armor with various enchantments, including the part of the breastplate that was torn and stained with blood.

"And Nebet's staff... This special golden scepter was made and given to him before we cooperated in the hunt for illegitimate girls. The other elder said with a slight trepidation, for the staff was also stained with clotted blood.

Wilmot saw a folded letter between the relics, and he immediately raised his hand.

Manipulating by magic, the letter floated up and landed in the palm of his hand. These relics were thrown by someone, which can already explain the signal that the other party wants to convey, and all the details are written in this letter.

As Wilmot unfolded the letter, the other elders were shocked by the relics.

He read it quickly, and then with a light hand, he let the flying letter float into the hands of others.

"It's the letter that made us accept the conditions," Wilmot said solemnly, "the worst thing has happened, the Vermilion Kingdom has completely fallen and is controlled by illegitimate daughters. ”

He told the people who had not seen the letter for the time being, and it proposed that the throne of the Indigo Forest should be inherited by the watchmoon, and that the Elven Council would also have equal rights with the new Elven King in the same way as before, and jointly govern this elven country.

Long Ge, the messenger in the distant sky, has already flown away, she instigated the wings of the black dragon, with the dragon armor, its color is not easy to detect in the night sky, entrusted by Xia Zuo to come here to drop the bag of things.

At the same time that the bag containing the relics hit the ground, Long Ge had already moved away at an extremely fast distance that the elves could not see with the naked eye.

The elves apparently did not accept the letter's proposal—Richards read it and burned it with the flames of his palm, furious, even though the other elders had not had time to see it.

"Let's get ready—ask for the help of the god Mori," Richards looked up at Wilmot, "we are not afraid of sacrifice, and the control of the Indigo Forest must not fall into the hands of the Terran bloodline." ”

Wilmot nodded.
