Chapter 941: Asking for help
I understand the high sense of honor and racial superiority of the elves, which makes them look elegant and noble, but I also hate these two things of the elves, which make them sensitive and neurotic.
Although it is a bit suspicious of melon fields and plums, after all, I did not directly say that this is the internal pot of the elf clan, and as a result, Elder Sonoda Dance is still like a cat with burnt paws, and his hair is about to stand up.
I don't know if the conversation will continue, but I am definitely not optimistic about the outcome of today's conversation, and even if she does not hold a grudge against me for my rude remarks, she will never convey my meaning to the Elven Empress, driven by the high sense of honor of the race, and even if she does, she will at best understate a few words.
The Elven Empress would not have given me an edict to allow her to enter the burial ground because of a few words that Elder Sonoda Mai had made lightlyβin their eyes, I was a Terran after all, and Terrans were good at lying.
Elder Sonoda and I looked at each other like this, I didn't squeak, and she didn't speak, but although her expression was very angry, she didn't have the slightest intention of driving me out, but looked at me coldly, as if waiting for my explanation.
Since you haven't been kicked out of the house, it's okay to explain.
I organized the language and said, "I know that nobility and glory have always been the beliefs of your elf race, and I also know that in the hearts of the vast majority of your elves, purity is precious, and filth is despised, but in the Zephyr Continent, no race can escape emotions and desires, this is like a shadow, always following you, you can't leave it, you can't abandon it. β
"A person, as long as he has emotions and desires, he will unconsciously produce selfish desires, but this kind of selfish desires, some people can suppress them, and some people cannot, those who suppress their selfish desires are sages in our eyes, and those who can't suppress or completely indulge their selfish desires are filth in our eyes."
"Yes, what you said just now is correct, I do suspect that there are people hiding in the elves to do filth experiments, although their purpose is to enhance the strength of the elves, or they want the elves to become the masters of the Zephyr Continent, but have you ever thought that their behavior is not caused by selfish desires?"
"Perhaps this kind of selfish desire can be called racial selfishness, or perhaps in your opinion, it is forgivable and forgivable to do this kind of experiment for the strength of your own race, but, a few years ago, the benefactor of the elven race, the generous, enthusiastic and pure elf race, was slaughtered because of this selfish desire, and still hides in that place and refuses to come out, you say that this is the most painful thing for you, I think, you should not forget it."
At this point, I paused, and I saw that Elder Sonoda's hands were shaking, trembling incessantly, as if he had been electrocuted.
At the same time, her face was also ugly, very ugly, black and red.
I frowned, and I heard her tremble, "You say...... Continue, continue, speak. β
Able to speak, able to stand, and seemed to be fine, I dismissed the idea of looking for someone for help, and continued: "Maybe now, those elves who are conducting filth experiments only want to make their race stronger, but can you guarantee that in the future, they will continue to work hard for their race?" Is there no possibility of their apostasy? Don't they want to be kings? β
"Shut up!" Elder Sonoda Mai shouted violently, his voice was extremely harsh, and in an instant, I felt a powerful momentum coming towards me, and my body couldn't help but shake slightly.
Soon, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and an older woman's voice came through the door: "Madam, are you alright?" β
Elder Sonoda Mai glared at me, let out a long breath, and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, let's go down." β
"Yes" Then, another sound of footsteps sounded, and they faded away.
Elder Sonoda sat down slowly in her chair, she didn't scold me again, she didn't even speak again, she just put her trembling hands on the table, but even so, her fingers still couldn't suppress the trembling.
After a while, she gasped and said, "An Xiaoyi, your words today are very presumptuous. β
"Yes, Elder Sonoda Mai, I know what I just said offended your race and ......"
As soon as the elder raised his hand, he stopped my words and continued: "But your words are not without a little truth, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, once the filth breeds in our elven group, it will not be long before it spreads, grows bigger, becomes more numerous, and finally gets out of control. β
Sighing, she continued: "I have understood your proposal, I can help you convey the words, as for whether the edict can come down depends on the meaning of Her Majesty." β
"Then I'm here to thank Elder Sonoda Mai."
"Okay, it's getting late, you can go back" Elder Sonoda Mai rubbed her forehead with one hand and waved her with the other, although she couldn't see her face clearly, I could feel that she was tired.
"Then I'll take my leave," I bowed, and said, "Goodbye, Elder Sonoda." β
Quietly leaving the villa, I walked on the deserted street.
The yellow hanging lights on both sides of the road looked very warm, but I was not in the mood to experience all this.
Although Elder Sonoda Mai finally unexpectedly agreed to help me, even if I did get the Empress's edict, what would I do?
Can I really find the clues I want in the bones?
Even if I find clues, even if I am sure that the carrion is indeed from the bone-buried ground, how can I do it to find the culprit who created the carrion monster?
Moreover, even if the culprit is caught, can it be determined that he is behind all this?
If the carrion monster had only been found in Moonlight City, it would have been much less troublesome, but alas, it had also been seen in Ari City, its power, its ruthlessness, its horror and ugliness, and its thick, lingering stench.
As I was thinking, I suddenly caught sight of a figure that had been following me all the time, not far away.
Are you another assassin who wants to assassinate me?
With this in mind, I kept my pace and walked unhurriedly.
Since I asked Elder Sonoda Mai for help, I didn't carry a weapon, only a pair of metal gauntlets could barely do it, but I didn't know the strength of the other party, and I didn't know how the other party struck.
If I have been passive for a long time, my form will be greatly disadvantaged, and even become a dilemma, and at that time, I will probably have to force my way out, but fortunately, with a powerful priest like Taylor, as long as I don't die, he will always have a way to cure me.
