The elven captain who spoke was very young, and his tone of voice was very calm, not like a lie, but I think it is necessary to ask more carefully.

"How do you know?"

The elven captain said calmly: "I grew up in the same orphanage as him. ”

"Orphan shelter?"

"Yes," he said, "it is a place for children who have been orphaned by the rebellion of His Royal Highness." ”

Words are full of resentment, Akahavi, whatever the truth of that rebellion, you have become a sinner in the hearts of the elves of that generation.

I nodded and asked, "So, he's also a member of the orphan shelter?" ”

"Yes," said the elven captain, "not only him, but also his team, who were once my companions. ”

"Then why didn't you stop him?" I asked, "If you had stopped him, maybe this tragedy would not have happened again." ”

"It's still going to happen," the elven captain said indifferently, "his personality is like that, he has never changed since he was a child, stubborn, conceited, and, Elder, he is no longer my companion, we have parted ways a long time ago." ”

"Uh...... Oh, sorry, I don't know what's going on, please forgive me. ”

The elven captain bowed to me generously, which was a sign of forgiveness.

"May I take the liberty of asking?"

On the side, Lirea suddenly said, "Why did you and your friend part ways?" ”

"Hey, it's privacy, you don't ......"

I was about to criticize Lirea for her bad behavior of inving into other people's privacy, but the elf captain bowed to Lirea and said, "Although this matter is my private matter, since the elder lady asked, it is okay for me to say it." ”

He straightened up and said, "The reason why I parted ways with him has something to do with a sect called the Cult of the God of Creation, and there was a time when he was so passionate about this sect that he forgot to sleep or eat, and listened to its sermons, and in the last days of our together, he asked me to join that sect as well, but I refused, and he said that I had no faith, and I said that I only believed in Your Majesty, and then he got angry and vowed to break with me and never associate again, and since then, I never spoke to him again, and soon we both left the shelter when we were both adults, and I was not reunited with him until recently. ”

"The Cult of the God of Creation?"

I frowned, I didn't remember hearing of a sect with a similar name.

But I've seen and saved my life as a fanatical believer in the God of Creation.

Unconsciously, a majestic figure condensed in my mind, stood in front of me, and blocked the most fatal blow for me.

"Elder An Xiaoyi" The bespectacled mage elf captain suddenly spoke up and asked me, "If we rescued them just now, how sure are we that we can rescue them?" ”

I pondered for a moment and said, "If you forcibly save it, you may be able to save a few people, but there will definitely be more people in it, after all, it's a group of monsters that even she can't easily solve." ”

I looked at Bai Yunying, who was asleep with a pillow.

"Excuse me, who is she and why do you always use her as a yardstick?" Captain Glasses asked again.

"She's Bai Yunying, and she's a strong person who can tie with your hero Emily."

Most people looked at Bai Yunying who was sleeping on her side on Xiao Qi's back with surprised eyes, it was really hard to imagine that this girl who would be lazy and doze off when she had the opportunity was actually a character who could tie with the strongest hero in her mind.

Captain Glasses took a deep breath and said, "I understand, thank you for your explanation." ”

Out of the dungeon, I went to the palace with a somewhat heavy heart, and was beaten up by Emily with an indifferent expression, and then went home with her.

Emily asked, "You're in bad shape, what's wrong?" ”

"Dead," I said.

"Who died?"

"The elves who are traveling with you have died several."

"How did you die?" She asked again.

"Tortured and killed by a giant swarm of ghost-faced spiders."

"Giant Ghost-Faced Spider Swarm...... Emily thought for a moment and said, "I've fought with that swarm of monsters that are difficult to entangle, why did you lead the team there?" ”

"I just led the team to find the ghost-faced spiders and the elite ghost-faced spiders, and as a result, I found the nest of the giant ghost-faced spider group, and I was thinking of retreating, but someone didn't listen and thought they were brave, so they rushed in."

Emily nodded and said, "It's their fault, and they should bear it." ”

I sighed, "Maybe that's the case for you who are sane, but I'm not sane enough. ”

"It's okay slowly," Emily said.

I turned to her and squeezed out a smile, "Are you comforting me?" ”

She didn't say a word, but turned to me, the corners of her mouth slightly curled, showing me a smile that was amazing.

That smile is like a meteor across the sky, fleeting, but it leaves me with memories that can never be erased.

When I woke up from my stupor, she stopped smiling and continued to walk home.

......

......

Gossip spreads much faster than the flu.

It's only been four days, and the negative news about me has spread all over Moonlight City.

For a while, the residents of all the sub-cities were talking about me-'Ignoring the elves' life and death, the elders of the outer clans of Moonlight City are actually cold-blooded elders!' ''Mad, the elders of the outer clans of Moonlight City have done such a thing!'' ''As a human race, he can be given the position of elder, is his acting skills outstanding, or is there another reason? ’

...... And so on a whole bunch of messy negative news, surging towards me with a rushing torrent.

Looking at the Moonlight City Daily, I don't even know what kind of expression to use to deal with the anger above.

I really didn't expect that the death of the tough guy elf and his teammates would be blamed on me.

It seems that I took the initiative to stop them, so I almost stepped forward to knock them out and kidnap them, if I really did this, it is estimated that the next day, my negative news will come out - 'The foreign elders actually did it in public to stun the innocent adventurers!'" Is this a moral degradation, or is it a distortion of human nature? ’

Well, let's not talk about that, I just know that the incident that had little to do with me was all blamed on me under the careful planning of some people.

Fortunately, the neighbors around me, as well as several elf high-level executives, had some understanding of my character and temperament, and they were not led by public opinion, so they were relieved of a considerable part of the pressure.

But there is a greater part of the external pressure, which is my shoulders - some fools who have been misled by public opinion have begun to make remarks and offensive against me for no reason, and for a while, insulting, angry, and other impolite behaviors have smashed at me.
