120. The Aegre Family

On the grassland, the flames burned wildly.

These flames are extremely adhesive, and as long as they are touched by the flames, no matter how they roll, they will not be extinguished, but will cause the flames to spread to more areas due to continuous rolling.

That's the nature of Infernal Flameβ€”and indeed, so is Infernal Flame.

Wailing, howling over the prairie.

With a single blow, Junod completely crippled this menacing cavalry force - in fact, it was not far from destruction, and only the dozens of elves at the very edge escaped. Needless to say, the elves in the middle of the explosion point were completely gone, and the blast wave generated afterwards, as well as the flames that splattered out, also overturned many elves.

The lucky ones died in the shock wave of the explosion.

And those who are unfortunate are now rolling and wailing on the ground.

The flames of hell, fueled by life force, are not so easy to extinguish.

Junod's [Hell Flame] is not a high-level magic, but it is by no means something that ordinary people can resist.

At least, these elven cavalry on horseback could not resist Junod's magic.

Therefore, the rout is naturally a reasonable thing.

"These are private soldiers?" Su Yan looked at the figures of the elves who fled in embarrassment, then turned his head and asked.

"The regular troops of the Elven Empire are all riding unicorns. These are just riding white horses, and they should be those family private soldiers. O'Hara's tone was also a little uncertain, "These elves of the Elven Empire all retain those bad faults from the Elven Court period. Therefore, various elven families have the habit of keeping private soldiers in captivity. Moreover, these private soldiers in captivity have a very high degree of loyalty to their respective families, which is probably equivalent to the so-called dead soldiers in your human world. …… Among them, the royal family of the Elven Empire is the largest aristocratic lord, and the other families of the Elven Empire are all power interests formed around the Elven royal family. ”

"What a deformed society." Su Yan pursed his lips.

"It was." O'Hara's voice became a lot colder, "Most of the elves of the Elven Empire are fifth-generation elves, and they are eager to restore the glory of the Elven Court, so they are very concerned about the missing inheritance, and they are trying to find a chance to recover almost every moment. …… It's no secret that resonance experiments like the Hurlis and Egret families do. The other two families, and even the elven royalty of the Silver Moon Empire, all had different experimental projects, and there were even more bloody and cruel experiments than this resonance experiment. ”

"And?"

"I'm talking about soul experiments." Junod also returned at this time, "The third generation of elves left behind the historical experiment. It is said that because of this experiment, they fought a divine war with the Lord of Dusk, and the goddess of the moon almost fell because of it, so the experiment was finally stopped. …… But I've heard that their experiment was a success. It's just that the experiment was destroyed for some unknown reason. ”

"Soul experiments?"

"It's an artificial soul." Junod said with a look of disdain, "The soul belongs to the realm of the gods. But those elves tried to create their own souls, trying to make the puppet creatures have souls, which naturally violated the interests of the gods. ”

"At that time, because of this experiment, many devils on their side of hell were fooled." O'Hara added in a whisper, his tone full of schadenfreude.

Su Yan somewhat understood the reason why Junod was so unhappy.

It's probably the equivalent of receiving a fake when doing business. Currency.

"Let's go, I'm not interested in the deformed society of this elven empire." Su Yan said in a deep voice, "What I want to know more now is about my daughter's whereabouts. ”

O'Hara and Junod shrugged their shoulders, then quickly followed Su Yan and continued to walk in the direction of the World Tree.

The Silvermoon Empire is a huge city built around the World Tree.

However, outside of the city, there are other elven villages under the jurisdiction of the Empire.

Unlike the settlements established by the elves who have left the Elven Empire, these elven villages are actually outposts and supply points of the Elven Empire. Whenever an army of the Elven Empire was dispatched, they would get enough supplies in the villages along the way; And whenever an enemy invades, these supply points become outposts and the front line of defense against foreign enemies.

Therefore, the elves who are arranged in these villages are basically direct and collateral members from various families in the Elven Empire.

And the Silver Moon Empire, in addition to the highest royal family and the four major families surrounding the royal family, there are more than twenty small and medium-sized families branched out from the four major families below. Most of these elves are fifth-generation elves, and only a small number of them belong to the sixth-generation elves - the vast majority of sixth-generation elves have long chosen to leave the elven empire because they can't adapt to this deformed thinking of the elven empire.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Elven Empire, these detached elves are called degenerates, rebels, and blacklisted people who are permanently banned from entering by the Elven Empire.

This is also the origin of those elven settlements scattered around the world.

Settlements such as the Elder Council, which has collapsed, fall into this category.

Of course, there are also other sixth-generation elves who leave the elven empire only with permission. And these people are the welcome crowd of the Elven Empire, because in the eyes of the Elven Empire, they choose to leave for the benefit of the Elven Empire, and when the Elven Empire needs something, they will also return as soon as possible.

This category is similar to the Storm Chaser Settlement that Antiocha said earlier.

……

"The cavalry is gone?" Watching a messenger arrive, an elven man sitting behind a wooden table flipping through the information asked.

"Yes." The elf's face was a little unnatural, but he nodded.

"The result?" The man asked with interest.

"I can't see it."

"Oh?" The elven man raised his eyebrows, and the interest on his face became more and more intense, "Let's talk about what you see." ”

"On the other side, only the butler made a move, but it was just a fire explosion technique, and it fell in the middle of the cavalry team, causing the entire cavalry team to be defeated. And the flames of the Flame Explosion Technique are a little bit wrong......" The messenger thought for a moment, then began to describe.

His description was very detailed, except that he couldn't see the large amount of magic energy gathered around Junod at the beginning, from the beginning of the [Hell Flame] condensation to the final rout of the cavalry, he did not miss a single detail. Even, in some parts of the description, he also handed over a drawing paper with the description of the relevant scene, and it was not until the end that the portraits of Su Yan, Junod, and O'Hara were handed over to the man sitting in front of him.

"Extremely adherent? If you roll on the ground, it will only make the range of the flame more extensive, and it will not be easily extinguished? On the contrary, it is dead that the flame will gradually be extinguished? The elven man seemed very concerned about this depiction of the messenger.

"Yes." The messenger nodded.

"I see, you go down first." The elven man nodded thoughtfully, and then waved his hand to let the other person stand down.

It wasn't until the messenger had left that the elven man spoke again, "Hear? What do you think? ”

In the originally empty room, there was a strange ripple shaking.

A few figures gradually emerged from them: at first it was only a faint outline, but as if a paintbrush had been stained with paint and began to fill in these outlines, all the silhouettes began to become real. It only takes three or four seconds to go before and after, but after that, all the silhouettes become brightly colored and lifelike.

It's as if you have come out of a painting.

There are six figures in total, of which the two men and one woman on the right are elves, and the one on the left is a man and one woman who is human, and a man who is burly like an orc.

"Give me the portraits of the three of them." The one who spoke was an elven man on the right.

I didn't see any movement of the elf man sitting behind the desk, but the three portraits of Su Yan, O'Hara, and Junod flew directly towards him.

"This man ......" the elven man's brow furrowed.

"You know?" The elf man sitting behind the desk asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know!" He replied in a deep voice.

"I don't know you said so seriously, I thought you knew." A human man on the left couldn't help but pout.

"I just don't know him, that's why he's so serious." The elf man behind the desk also put away the smile on his face, and his expression became solemn, "Celest, about five years ago, it was he who took over the task of sending Anna to the Grey Sand Collar from Iscaty. …… So, he's the only one here who we've seen the baron. After a slight explanation, the elf looked at Spester again: "Are you sure you haven't seen this person?" ”

"It was only a quick glance, but I can confirm that this man is not the Grey Sand Baron I have ever seen."

"That's interesting." After a moment of silence, the elven man sitting behind his desk suddenly chuckled, "Either that, or we've been teased by Iscati all along. Either that, or maybe the baron you saw before was just a stand-in...... That is, the other party is a person who is very deeply hidden. ”

"Miss Iscaty, she's not that stupid." The human woman sitting on the left side whispered, "I never believed that she would find an ordinary person to be her partner. ”

"So you mean......" The elven man behind the desk turned his head to look at the other.

"This is supposed to be the power that Miss Iscaty has developed outside the Empire. That butler is obviously a half-blood, this is what your Aegri family is good at, right? I guess the other party is either mixed with the demon bloodline, or mixed with some kind of powerful fire type demonic beast bloodline, otherwise his flame explosion technique would not have such a strange mutation. The human woman continued, "As for the other warrior in full armor, I find it striking just by looking at this painting, and he is clearly a half-breed as well. But I haven't actually fought each other, so it's hard for me to guess which kind of hybrid it is. ”

"Leave this person to me!" The burly man sitting next to her said in a deep voice.

"Then I'll deal with that butler magician." A male elf on the right suddenly spoke.

It seems that in a few words, the opponents of Su Yan, Junod, and O'Hara have been selected.

The six people present didn't seem to take the three of them seriously.

In other words, with their confidence in their own strength, they don't think they will lose to Su Yan and others.

Even if they all agreed that Su Yan and the other three were also mixed-race.

"Everyone." The man sitting behind the desk couldn't help but clapped his hands lightly, drawing the attention of the six people back again, "I'm glad you're so positive, but I feel the need to remind you. …… This is a matter of mutual interest between our Egret and Hellis families, so it's not a fair showdown. The only thing we need to do is to hold off or kill each other to buy our allies more time. ”

The six men looked at each other.

Only the three elves on the left were slightly unwilling, but the three elves on the right quickly put away the battle intent in their eyes.

For them, the interests of the Egre family are far above all else.

"I'll join forces with Pengus against that fighter." The human man on the left said in a deep voice, "I'm in charge of containment, and you're in charge of the main attack." ”

"Yes." The burly man who was a little exaggerated nodded with a smile, "You are in charge of containment, I am relieved!" ”

"Then I'll deal with the butler with Mithril." The human woman spoke, "This time, I don't want your magic to involve me again. ”

"As I said, the last time was just an accident." The elven man who had said he was going to deal with Junod said with a wry smile, "Forget it, I'll be in charge of containing it this time, and you will carry out the final blow." ”

"Looks like I don't have a choice." Spelst shrugged, "But it's okay, I'm curious about who the Baron I saw in the Grey Sand Collar before is." And I'd love to know...... What exactly is the reason why Iscati chose him. ”

"Is it just the six of us?" The elven woman, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.

"The Hurlis family is our ally, and of course they will send reinforcements." The elven man laughed, "However, it's not the same as when we focus on bloodline experiments. The Hurlis family is better at transforming experiments, so the supporters they sent are more suitable for attacking head-on attacks. …… If I'm not mistaken, they've already started to drain the stamina of our three guests, so you should know how. ”

"What if you accidentally kill them?" It was still the elven woman's inquiry, but everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill.

"That's just their bad luck." The elven man smiled, "By the way, I have to warn you. …… I suspect that all three of them have at least the strength of the Awakened, or the Chosen One. If Miss Betty's guess was correct, and they were also hybrids made by Iscaty, then I suspect that they are also bloodline-level powerhouses like you. …… So, I don't want you to be underestimated because of this, understand? ”

"Got it." Only the voices of two or three people answered.

However, the leader of the elf was obviously unimpressed, he just smiled and said, "For the good of the Egre family." ”

"For the good of the Egre family!"

This time, it was the six of them who responded in unison.
