Marlon returned to his residence, a house that Malf had bought the year before, only to learn that Elija had gone to the temple.

I didn't come back until it was nightfall, and some of my thoughts didn't belong.

Seeing that her food was cold, and she was still chewing without a mouthful, Ma Long couldn't rest assured after all, and didn't know why she was like this, so he asked, "What's wrong, is something wrong?" ”

Illya just shook her head and didn't speak.

Marlon got up and sat down next to her, "Is there anything bad to say between us?" If you have something, say it, maybe I can think of a way for you! ”

She looked at Malone seriously, but there was indescribable sorrow between her eyebrows, and she seemed to hesitate for a while before hesitating: "I'm a half-elf." ”

"What?" Malone heard it clearly, but he didn't understand the meaning......

"One of your parents is an elf?"

"It's not!" She shook her head, "My parents are half-elves!" ”

"Will you dislike me?" She looked at Malone seriously, to see it thoroughly, and there was expectation and apprehension in her tone, the latter might be more.

“……”

Her expression changed, she became depressed, and her whole person seemed to have lost her spirit, "You really still dislike it!" ”

"No......" Malone hurriedly explained, "how can you have such an idea?" ”

"Why should I dislike you're a half-elf?" He didn't understand what logic it was.

"Don't you dislike it? I'm not pure, I'm a ......."

"What are you talking about, you are so good-looking, it is a combination of the advantages of the two races......" Marlon comforted softly, holding it in his arms.

After a while, seeing that her mood stabilized, Ma Long asked, "By the way, what happened, who told you this?" Malone asked suspiciously, "At this time." ”

"It's the archbishop!"

"What did he say?"

"No, it just told me about my background!"

Ma Long frowned slightly, feeling that there must be a problem in the middle, but because there was too little information, he couldn't think clearly for a while.

In the next few days, Malone spent most of his time in the barracks, reorganizing the army with a few knights.

The tens of thousands of troops newly received, selected their elites, and added them to the army of the Blackstone Collar, there were 15,000 people.

The rest, either too old, or slightly less talented, and unqualified for other reasons, will be retired.

Along with the civilians brought out of Los Angeles, migrate to the Blackstone Realm.

Naturally, some people came to the royal capital and were reluctant to leave for various reasons, wanting to stay, but Ma Long did not force it.

He recruited the people, not to attract hatred, he was willing to go to the Black Stone Territory, he warmly welcomed, and those who did not want to go, so as to gather and disperse, as for the consumption along the way before, he didn't care about them.

For the Black Stone Collar, it is not a dime, but it is not much of a loss.

The good thing is that the name of the Black Stone Collar has spread, which can attract more people to come and join.

It is worth mentioning that after thinking about it for two days, Fei Lun finally agreed to Ma Long's invitation and worked with Malf to manage the migration of refugees to the north.

It is also a test of its ability.

After Malf continued to go north with the refugees, Malone stayed in the barracks with peace of mind, reorganized the troops, improved their combat effectiveness, and practiced good cooperation.

On this day, the herald Bill came to find Malone and brought the queen's wishes, hoping that Malone would go to the small conference room of the palace tomorrow to discuss something.

At the end, he added, "Be sure to bring Ilia with you." ”

Ma Long secretly said in his heart: "It's coming! ”

Some time ago, he felt that the archbishop suddenly revealed Illya's identity, which had a certain deep meaning.

But because there is too little information, he can't figure out the specifics, and he only thinks that it may be related to elves.

In this meeting, let bring Iliya, and Malone knew that this should be officially put on the table.

"Go?" Elijah was a little undecided.

"Go, can it still be the Longtan Tiger's Den?" Ma Long said confidently: "Even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, I can break through, not to mention that it is still making up!" ”

The next day, Marlon came to the palace early in the morning, and under the guidance of the guards, came to the small conference room.

It is also called a small pilgrimage.

Unlike the official court meeting, this is where the kingdom is really decided.

Most of the decisions announced at the official court meeting were first discussed here.

The people who can come here have a very important position in the kingdom.

Ma Long's ability to come here can be regarded as a recognition of him by the entire human kingdom.

Bringing Elija through the door and greeting acquaintances, Marlon waited quietly for the meeting to begin.

This meeting was not a purely aristocratic council, as the Archbishop of Nottington, who brought the Temple of Watches, was also present.

As the Queen's final payment arrived, the meeting officially began, and the clerk on one side placed a document in front of each of them.

The queen explained, "This is the information that our intelligence officers lurking behind the orcs brought back with their lives, and I would like to ask you to know some information about the orcs." ”

Malone picked up the document as he said.

This is the paper produced by the Black Stone Collar, and the attachment form is also the common style of the Black Stone Collar.

He couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, a smile appeared on his face, and when he glanced at Iliya, he could see that the proud black stone collar in the other party's eyes had penetrated into all aspects of the kingdom!

Ma Long looked at the contents carefully, it was indeed information about orcs, some of which he knew, and some of which he didn't know before, and now he saw it for the first time.

Orcs live south of the Black Forest, south of Southshire.

It's a bit awkward to say, but it's actually in the south of the human kingdom, separated by a black forest.

They live in a large wilderness, which is speculated to have been fertile ground a long time ago.

But after being over-cultivated by the orcs, the fertility has dropped so much that it is now almost a wasteland.

This is also one of the reasons why orcs are attacking humans, and they need new arable land.

Orcs have a strong vitality and a very high survival rate of young children, which is still higher than that of humans.

This makes them not short of population, and even surplus.

The land is no longer able to support them.

To wage war against humanity is to fight for new lands and to consume the surplus population.

A few years ago, the orcs discovered the existence of human beings, but at that time, their internal problems were not solved, so it can be said that they were at a critical juncture, so they naturally had no time to deal with the outside world.

It wasn't until the entire race was united that they set their sights on humans......

A lot of information is written on the materials, in addition to the approximate number of people, military comparisons, etc.

Marlon also saw something that was more unexpected to him, and there was a speculation on it that there was a shadow of a wizard behind many of the orcs' actions.

Their internal problems can be solved quickly, and it seems that there is also a wizard's hand in them.

Although it was in a speculative tone, Ma Long felt that the possibility was very high, ** not far from ten, after all, he had personally fought with him.
