Chapter 218: Master-Servant Contract
When they woke up in the morning, they searched everywhere to find Higg missing, but found no trace. There was no sound of fighting at night, how could someone be lost alive?
The anxious crowd searched for a day within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and there was no trace of Higg, everyone's voices were hoarse, and Lan Xian'er's piccolo was almost worn out, and there was no response.
The disappointed group returned to the cabin in the evening, and it was not safe to be in this jungle exclusion area at night, and if Higg had encountered some enemy and disappeared, it would mean that there was danger in the vicinity, and it was even more difficult to move at night.
A bonfire is still lit next to Noah's airship, hoping that Higg will see the way back.
Lan Xian'er asked anxiously, "Uncle, tell me clearly, what dangerous things exist here?" We can't find our way out, Higg is mysteriously missing, I can't even contact my piccolo, what else are you going to hide? ”
Benjamin said with an aggrieved face: "I really don't know what's here, why it's zoned as a forbidden area, and I don't even know where the forbidden area is!" We're all worried about Higg's disappearance for no reason, and I promise I'll do my best to investigate everything here and find Higg! ”
Daniel said optimistically: "I've known Higg for more than ten years, which time did he not worry when he went out, but which time didn't he save the day and get a blessing in disguise?" If I had his kind of luck, I'd rather play missing every day, right, Nicole? ”
Nicole nodded and said with a smile: "Even the most dangerous neon abyss, he was able to come back to life, what are you worried about?" ”
"Hahaha!" Pan Dongni laughed and said, "Back then, Higg and the two of you were trapped in the magic vortex of Shenlong Island, and Thomas, Butterfly Caiyun and I also made a big fuss on Shenlong Island, but the three of you are still not good, and we have been worried for two years!" ”
Benjamin said: "No matter what, we can't have any more accidents here, we continue to look for him during the day, and wait here for a few days at night!" Starting tonight, except for Noah, half of us will keep vigil, and the general people will rest, and we will change in the second half of the night! Blue Fairy, Pantony, you and I keep watch for the first half of the night! ”
Although everyone has no opinion on such an arrangement, who can sleep on such a night......
It was just dawn, and everyone got up and packed up.
"Ah, who are you watering?" With Noah's scream, everyone came out of the cabin, and was surprised to find that the smoke from the place where the bonfire was burned last night was not extinguished, but there was an old man standing next to him, motionless!
Everyone was surprised, three people were scheduled to keep vigil last night, and everyone's vigilance was high, but no one found out when this old man came here. It is still unclear whether he is friend or foe, but from the outside, this old man is clearly an elf, at least five hundred years old.
If the other party was going to be unfavorable to the people here last night, everyone believed that no one would be able to avoid this old man's sneak attack, and even if they faced each other now, Benjamin, Lan Xian'er and the others were not sure that they would be able to defeat this old elf. The appearance of this old elf made almost everyone suspect that Higg should have met this opponent the night before, so it was really more than lucky.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but you have to answer my questions first!" The old elf said unceremoniously, "Who are you?" How did you get here? ”
Pan Dongny was angry for a while, and was about to step forward to scold, but was stopped by Benjamin, Benjamin stepped forward and said: "We are naturally from the Forest Country, there was an accident, we came here by mistake, and we were about to find a way out, please give us some advice!" ”
"Humph! The people of the Forest Country? The old elf pointed to Blue Fairy, Daniel, Nicole, and Noah and said, "How many of them are too?" If you have a way to get in, you will have a way to get out, and you need me to guide you? ”
Lan Xian'er smiled: "Senior, we did come here by mistake, and we were anxious to find a way out, but now that a person is missing, we must find him first." The seniors came to question us early in the morning, what is it for? If the seniors know the whereabouts of this person, ask the seniors to help guide the way! ”
"Hahaha! For what? The old elf laughed and said, "Forgive this seat for being arrogant, this seat has been here for hundreds of years, and I have never seen anyone break into this place by mistake, and no one has ever left here without the consent of this seat!" ”
Benjamin smiled: "Our inadvertent inadvertent intrusion here, since the predecessors have been here for hundreds of years, they must know the situation here, this is also the territory of the Forest Country, may I ask the seniors what is this place?" ”
The old elf smiled: "Hahaha, little doll, answer my question well first, and then ask questions!" ”
Blue Fairy said: "A few of us are from the Alasia Empire, Catherine's camp, and now we are allies with the Forest Country, because we were hunted down. Flee in a hurry, lose your way, and get here! We did have a person missing the night before, and his whereabouts are still unknown, if the seniors know the news, please tell the truth! ”
"Oh? Missing the night before yesterday? The old man stopped laughing and asked, "Who is missing, is it also a Hellasia?" ”
Blue Fairy said, "The missing person is my husband, a native of Erathia, but half of the Elven royal blood!" ”
The old man was shocked and asked, "A hybrid of the Elven royal family and the Alasians?" ”
Lan Xian'er Zhengse said: "Exactly! ”
The old man pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "You pack up your things and go with this seat immediately!" ”
The old man's words seemed to make everyone unquestionable, and this was not a tone of negotiation at all, but an order, even coercion.
Benjamin was dissatisfied: "The invitation of the old-timers should not have been disobeyed. It's just that our companion is missing, and we still need to look around, please forgive our seniors for a few days, and when we find our companion, we will definitely visit us! ”
"Hahaha!" The old elf laughed and said, "What if I want to force you to leave? ”
Benjamin said: "If the old-timers want to force us to go, they can do it last night!" It's just that it's really inconvenient for us to leave now, please forgive me! If the seniors have to be strong, I'm afraid that something unpleasant will happen to everyone! ”
After Benjamin finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd, and everyone understood, and immediately gathered around Benjamin, forming a formation and preparing for battle.
"Hahaha!" The old man laughed, and his figure suddenly flashed, and the man immediately came to Benjamin, and reached out with his right hand and grabbed Benjamin's throat!
Benjamin was taken aback and wanted to dodge, but the opponent was too fast and blocked all the angles of his dodge. Dacomar, who reacted even faster than Benjamin, stabbed the old elf in the chest with a dagger.
The old elf's body had to dodge, but the hand that grabbed Benjamin was still controlling Benjamin, but the right hand also had an extra dagger, and the left elbow grabbed Benjamin's neck, and the dagger immediately pressed against Benjamin's throat.
The action was too fast, Benjamin couldn't dodge, except for Da Kemal's reaction, Daniel and Nicole's magic had not yet been released, and the situation was already under control. The crowd, who were taken aback, stopped all their movements and were dumbfounded.
The old elf smiled: "Hmph, a group of little dolls also want to get an axe in front of this seat!" If I want to kill someone, I don't need to do it now! ”
After being shocked, Benjamin smiled and said: "If the seniors want to kill, they will be killed, there is no need to deceive people too much like this!" ”
"Hey, you actually have the blood of the elven royal family?" The old elf was also shocked, looked at the few drops of blood flowing from the tip of the dagger, and asked.
"Hahaha!" Benjamin laughed, "So what? The old-timers should not be people who bully the soft and fear the hard! ”
The old elf smiled: "Hehe, since there is the blood of the elf royal family, then it's another matter!" We have a contract with the Elven Royal Clan first, not because we are afraid of anything! ”
"What contract?" Benjamin was surprised, "How did I not know? ”
"It seems that the Forest Country has really fallen to the point of hopelessness!" The elf's complexion eased slightly, and he sighed, "Even the elf royal family has forgotten the contract with us for tens of thousands of years?" To tell you the truth, the night before yesterday, we also had a little friend missing, and this seat is here to investigate this matter, and now it seems that it must be related to your missing companion, then this matter, we should investigate it together, if you just look for it here, it is tantamount to asking for your own death. ”
"What kind of contract? Tens of thousands of years? Benjamin asked, "Indeed, I have never heard my father mention it!" ”
"Divine Beast Fence Contract!" The old elf let go of Benjamin and said, "You don't even know, but since this seat is the executor of the contract, of course he will not destroy the contract." ”
"Divine beasts? Unicorn beasts? Benjamin's eyes widened and he asked, "Does the legendary unicorn really exist?" What is the contract between this unicorn beast and our elven royal family? ”
"The Elven Royal Clan and the Unicorn Divine Beast were originally in a servant relationship!" The old elf said, "Tens of thousands of years ago, the ancestor of the elven royal family captured the ancestor of the unicorn beast and signed a blood contract, establishing a generational servant relationship!" During the heyday of the Elven King's Empire, the One-Horned Divine Beast Family has been following the Elf King to conquer the Quartet, making great achievements and establishing an immortal imperial foundation. But it is also due to the long-term conquest, the unicorn beast family suffered serious losses, and more than a thousand years ago, with the consent of the elf king, they temporarily recuperated until today! Unexpectedly, the descendants of the Elven Royal Family forgot this contract! ”
"Since it is a contract between our royal family and the unicorn beast, what does this have to do with our predecessors?" Benjamin asked, "Who is the senior?" ”
The old elf said: "The Divine Beast Fence is the fief of the unicorn beast, and our family is appointed by the elf king to help the unicorn beast manage the fief here!" Our family has been here for tens of thousands of years! This seat Darwin is the patriarch of the family! ”
"The fiefdom of the unicorn beast?" Benjamin asked, puzzled, "Where is the Divine Beast Fence?" How come I haven't seen this place in the Forest Country, could it be that the Divine Beast Fence is the legendary forbidden area? ”
"Hahaha!" Darwin said, "This is the Divine Beast Fence, and all the places you can see are called the Divine Beast Fence!" Of course, you can't find the Divine Beast Fence in the Middle-earth Magic World, because the Divine Beast Fence broke away from the Middle-earth Continent more than a thousand years ago and opened up its own alien dimension! ”
"Extradimensional space?" Even Lan Xian'er was taken aback.
