Chapter 41: The Secret of the Legations

An invitation from the Woodland Kingdom? What's going on?

After hearing the words coming from the side of the wall, Chu Ge was stunned for a moment and pressed his ears tighter.

On the other side of the wall, a candle was burning in the mezzanine of the warehouse, and a female elf was inviting a man in the prime of life.

She was wrapped in a black robe, with a half-masked face and only her chin exposed.

The man named Xilin had a difficult look on his face, the already slightly high room temperature made him feel even more irritable, sweat soaked his curly temples, and just as he hesitated, another voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Abba, your greed is worse than a goblin!"

An old woman with silver hair suddenly raised her head, she described it as withered, and suddenly a few green spots appeared on her face, as if the actual resentment was constantly beating in her cloudy eyes.

After hearing this hoarse voice, Xilin's heart suddenly hung up, and before he could open his mouth to reprimand, the female elf immediately laughed and said:

"Your name is ...... What's going on? Forget it, none of this matters. ”

She shook her head,

"Your purpose is to deliberately provoke me, and then let me kill you all, this kind of thing will not be in vain, not to mention that I guess no one except you has any intention of dying for Alkaya."

She glanced around, and beside the white-haired old woman, there were four humans of different ages slumped on the ground, their faces fearful and casting a faint look of hatred at the old woman.

Including Xilin, these people are the target of the Tama team, the remaining descendants of the Farrell family in the village of Wotan.

Not far from their feet lay three mutilated corpses, two of them dressed in the same clothes as several of Farrell's descendants, and the other was a lightly armored guard, whose body was so cruelly torn in half that he could not die again.

The other guard was trampled on the soles of his feet by Abba and although he had severe burns all over his body, the signs of life had not disappeared, and he was gasping weakly.

Feeling the hateful gaze of the clansmen, the white-haired old woman couldn't help but let out a long sigh, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Although Aiba's conditions on the surface were very tempting, he and the other clansmen were clear about what the other party actually had in his heart.

Regardless of whether they choose to compromise or resist, the ultimate fate of themselves and others will not change - it's just that most people are lucky, don't want to believe this, and expect the other party to let them go after compromise.

Similarly, Xilin, as the secret holder, is also in this contradictory range, struggling whether to accept the other party's invitation.

Seeing Xilin's hesitation, Abba showed a trace of impatience on his face, and continued to speak:

"Mr. Xilin, don't forget the agreement between the Farrell family and the Woodland Kingdom, if it weren't for the assassination of two witnesses by our envoys, how could the Farrell family survive this time, do you want to break your word and get fat?"

As she spoke, she kicked the guard at her feet in the face, and the sound of her nose bone shattering immediately rang out,

"Your Majesty may not care about this kind of insignificant guy, but other things are not something that can be easily revealed, is it possible that you are so naΓ―ve that you think that after doing those things, the empire will still let you live?"

"Use your brain and think about it, this is simply impossible, your only way out is to hand over that crown leaf, and then leave Alcaya with our envoys, although Belland is not as prosperous as Greenland, but it is more than enough for you to retire."

"Of course, if you really have the intention of dying for Alkaya, then I will not trample on this will, and your two stubborn people will not be alone."

Abba 's words made Xilin's heart tighten fiercely, he didn't care about the looks of everyone behind him at all, a hint of cringe passed in the depths of his eyes, and he said in a calm voice:

"Flee to Belland...... Sounds like a good choice, but what do you promise yourself to? ”

Whew-

Hearing that Xilin finally let go, the surviving Farrell people breathed a sigh of relief, but the sadness in the old woman's eyes became a little stronger.

True joy finally appeared on the face of the elf Elf, and she chuckled:

"Of course it's our sincerity, hasn't the Woodland Kingdom been helping your Farrell family, even before the arrival of the envoys, we have provided you with assistance many times, these are solid evidence."

Xilin shook his head slowly, not believing these nonsense at all, and said:

"Since the day the Farrell family fell, I have never believed in such words as sincerity, and I will never take out the Firmament Crown Leaf without enough evidence to trust me!"

Ebba's eyes immediately narrowed, and a look of danger crept in as if she hadn't seen it, and she said:

"Evidence? What evidence do you want? ”

Xilin glanced at Abba hesitantly, and after struggling for a few seconds, he still said his choice, and said stubbornly:

"As long as you swear to the Eternal Tree......"

Syllable!

Before he could finish speaking, the ground under Xilin's feet suddenly exploded, and the broken stones hit his face, marking several blood marks, and he himself fell backwards from the impact.

A flaming iron rope appeared in Abba 's hand, and the smile on her lips had completely disappeared, leaving only a look of indifference and disgust.

"Are you here, humiliating me?"

Abba shook her right hand, and the iron rope that extinguished the flames easily wrapped around Xilin's neck, and as long as she exerted the slightest force, the opponent's head would instantly detach from her body.

For the elves, although the oath of the Eternal Tree is absolutely valid, if you swear to a foreign race, it represents a lifetime of shame, and there is no doubt that Xilin knows this.

Looking at the murder weapon wrapped around his neck, Xilin swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble, but he still turned his face sideways and said resolutely in a hoarse voice:

"If you want to kill, kill it, if you can't guarantee this condition, then even if I hand over the Firmament Crown Leaf, I'm afraid it will be useless, and there will be absolutely no good end!"

The disgust on Abba became even worse, and she hooked her fingers a little, looking at Xilin with irrepressible killing intent in her eyes.

With the sound of the iron cable, Xi Lin felt that his breathing became difficult, because the iron rope contracted so slowly that he might have suffocated before his neck was broken.

When death came, Xilin suddenly lay back like this, and after losing the support of his body, the pressure of the iron rope on his neck became more intense.

His eyes were already bulging, his face was beginning to turn from flush to iron, and his body was writhing instinctively from pain, but not only did it not work, but instead because of the tightening of the iron ropes, his death was accelerated.

On the other side, Xilin's death-defying appearance, the corners of Aiba's eyes twitched, she glanced at the few Farrell descendants who were slumped in the corner, and then looked at the struggling Xilin, and closed her eyes helplessly, and after a while, until Xilin's strength began to weaken a little, she let go of the iron cable.

After feeling the restraint on his neck loosen, Xilin desperately swallowed the air that he had not seen for a long time, and after lying on the ground to recover for a while, he raised his head and said to Abba with difficulty:

"Did you say yes?"

At this moment, his heart was undoubtedly very happy, and those descendants of the Farrell family also began to show joy in advance for their survival.

Abba opened his eyes and said expressionlessly:

"I can swear to the Eternal Tree as you wish, but the terms of the treaty need to be changed."

"What?" Xilin's face changed, and a strong uneasiness came out of his heart.

"Don't worry, this condition doesn't affect you, it's just that the others ......"

Abba raised his right hand and swept it towards the crowd in the corner with a sling of iron cables, the blazing flames flashing,

"You are the only one who can leave Alkaya with our envoys, and if there are too many people, it is easy for accidents to happen."

Before the screams of the crowd could reach Xilin's ears, they were twisted into pieces by the iron ropes in the flames, and they were torn apart and rolled down to the floor of the house.

"Hint: The host side quest target [Farrell Family Remaining Descendants (3/8)] has died, and the remaining number of the current quest target is 6."

"Hint: The host side quest objective [Farrell Family Remaining Descendants (4/8)] has died, and the remaining number of the current quest target is 5."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Several prompts sounded from the tentacles' ears one after another, and the completion of the task was increasing, but he did not feel the slightest joy, but his confidence in completing the task became less and less.

The woman named Abba didn't seem to be easy to mess with at all, even if she killed the last person by surprise, it would probably be difficult to escape from her pursuit!

His heart sank a little, and he was already proposing to Link and the others to consider terminating this mission.

During the time that Xilin was in a stupor, Abba had fulfilled his oath to the Eternal Sacred Tree.

She walked over and grabbed Xilin's neckline, lifted him up, and tapped the other party's cheek with an iron cable, and said:

"Okay, come and fulfill your promise now, if you dare to go back, I will definitely make you regret not dying sooner!"

After feeling the knock on his face, Xilin came back to his senses.

The thought of his people's death made him look at Abba with a little more resentment, but the fear of death drove him to put it away.

After being put back on the ground by Abba he straightened his collar, stood up and walked to the center of the room, then pointed to the ceiling and said to Abba :

"Do you see that gap? Smash it open from that. ”

Abba raised her eyebrows, but after seeing that Xilin's expression did not seem to be fake, she picked up the iron cable again and threw it towards the gap that the other party was pointing at, and the tip of the iron cable was directly inserted into it.

Fragments and floats of the wood fell from the ceiling, and a slight twist of Abba cracked the small plank.

After the ceiling shattered, many criss-crossed wooden bars appeared in front of the two of them, and Abba saw at a glance what was placed behind the wooden bars, a palm-sized rectangle.

"Not that ......"

Xilin opened her mouth, but Abba moved faster, and as the rope continued to wave, a quaint wooden locket was rolled down by her, and it was much heavier than it looked after she entered, with an inexplicable fullness.

"What do you mean?" Abba asked, frowning.

Xilin coughed, patted the sawdust off his head, and said:

"This is another treasure left by the Farrell family, not the one you want, the firmament crown leaf is hidden in the third beam from the left, remember to be lighter when you get it."

Abba glanced at Xilin, tossed the box to the other man, aimed at the darkened beam, and threw the rope back into the air.

The beam wasn't fixed on it, and after being wound around the wire, Aba only used a slight force to tear it off.

Judging from the appearance alone, there was nothing special about this ruler-long beam, and after taking a closer look, Aba gave it to Xilin and said:

"Turn it on."

Xilin took the wooden box that Abba handed him, placed it on the floor and stroked it reluctantly.

After feeling the killing intent on Aiba's body, Xilin had to honestly lower his head, put his hand out of his mouth, and slowly stirred, as if he was looking for something.

It didn't take long for Xilin to stop his movements, and he took his hand out of his mouth, and a small ring-shaped iron object appeared in the palm of his hand.

I don't know if the iron ring is made of strange material, or if there is a Qiankun in the crosswood, after Xilin put the iron ring on the crosswood, the crossbar actually melted the iron ring into it, and in a sound of rotation, the shell of the crosswood was immediately shattered, and the things sealed inside were caught by Xilin.

At the thought that this priceless treasure was about to be taken away by the other party in this way, Xilin couldn't help but feel like a knife, and he closed his eyes tightly and handed it to Abba for fear that he would never have the courage to give it away if he continued to look at it.

Abba took the item and examined it carefully.

A palm-sized white shell, although the shell does not look very good on the outside, when you open it, you can see that the design inside is very exquisite, covered with many miniature blue gemstones, and the three runes engraved on the inside of the shell form a magic circle.

Compared with the delicate interior design, the items placed in the shells are much more plain.

It was a small stick-like object that looked somewhat like a small vine, but it was completely shriveled and had an equally shriveled leaf attached to the vine.

Feeling the ripples emanating from the unremarkable leaf, Ayba's right hand trembled, nearly dropping the shell to the ground.

"If it's true, try it and you'll find out......"

Although he was already very sure in his heart, Abba couldn't help but reach out and put the vine in the palm of his hand.
