Chapter 180. Make the right use of people's hearts
This is obviously a high-ranking nobleman who has something to do with the thieves of the Ketuf River, and the envelope left by accident has now been discovered by Levi's armed citizens and sent to Levi, and this unsigned letter has also been exposed, although because it is not signed, I don't know who it is, but Levi also wants to see what is written inside. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the custom of the aristocracy, the sealing wax would be heated and melted with candles, with the faint smell of burning spices, and then the leather envelope would be cut open with a paper cutter and the envelope inside would be taken out.
This is very elegant among decent people, but of course Levi disdains this, reached out and took a table knife on the side of the bed, cut the letter paper fiercely, and reached out to take out the snow-white envelope inside.
"Wait, what is this, what kind of text?"
But when Levi opened the letter paper that was folded into three layers, the delicate and unfamiliar lines of words on it made his whole face change, because he had never seen this kind of writing since he came to this world!
The lingua franca of the human race is spoken in this world, almost exactly the same as English on the earth in the previous life, whether it is the written alphabet or the grammar spoken, which is why Levi can be like a fish in water in this world, there is no communication barrier.
But Levi is also sure that as far as he knows about the history of this world, the human race definitely does not have this kind of writing, because the writing that has been handed down from ancient times to the present has never changed, and it is said that among the ancient ruins of some overseas islands, there are still moments and walls where these words are carved, proving that the glory has been lost in ancient times.
Even the magic gold coin obtained had a few vague letters engraved on it, and the general meaning was the symbol of "money", which was many times more beautiful than the large silver coins minted today.
"But what kind of text is this?"
Levi looked at the lines of beautiful words, the series of characters that looked like the Terran alphabet but were fundamentally different, and also formed an intoxicating appearance, which was like a beautiful document written by a calligrapher, and it was obviously not a random text, but a message with real content.
The words had the air of a work of art, and the characters on them were like stunning towering trees, and Levy's eyes shrank slightly, and he suddenly thought of where this thing came from, because he had seen similar symbols before.
"Elves?" Slowly pronouncing these two words in his mouth, Levi's eyes also brought a bit of danger to him, and with the memories in his mind, especially on the previous Lucia reconnaissance ship, he also recalled that these words were almost the same style of hull text carving.
Slowly straightening up, Levi turned his head to look at the door, and just wanted to go out to the next room to ask Lucia what was written on it, but after taking two steps, he stopped and stood in place.
"It's really, it's getting more and more interesting."
His eyes narrowed slightly, it was not a good idea to show this Lucia this kind of thing at this time. He doesn't have any real feelings for that Lucia, even the best relationship is a cannon you, not to mention that the two sides themselves have a grudge, just a stranger who is a flesh-and-skin friend, if he treats her sincerely because he is in love with that woman, it is really stupid.
Occasionally, because of the guilt of being for a woman, it would be nice to be a little nicer to her, there are so many kings in history who were obsessed with women and led to the destruction of the empire, and Li Wei, who is familiar with history, will not have a muddy brain.
Casually finding a piece of clothing in the cupboard and draping it on his body, Levi walked down the softly carpeted corridor barefoot, picked up his scimitar at the door, and walked quickly towards the basement amid the surprised eyes of the attendants around him, where a dozen male elves were imprisoned, and he didn't think that this group of arrogant elves, who were supposed to be born artists, would be illiterate.
"Your Majesty."
At present, the guards in charge of guarding the basement are four sturdy women, with burly appearances whose thighs are almost as thick as their waists, and they are estimated to be the most qualified heavy warriors when they put on battle armor, and now the four of them are also carrying logging axes on their shoulders, and the appearance of their faces full of flesh makes the elves who are imprisoned in the two basement rooms tremble and huddle together, obviously afraid of the four of them.
Through the iron fence gate, Levi looked at the dozen or so male elves huddled on the ground inside, with dazed and frightened eyes, and also pointed at the group of guys with his chin, and asked the four female guards, "How are they doing?" ”
"Ha, they're like a bunch of chicks!"
A female guard with a cross-faced face took half a step forward, trying to show herself a flattering expression, but that ugly appearance also made Levi cough lightly, the female guard also laughed and swallowed and spit, looking at the handsome male elves inside, there was also a bit of confusion in her eyes: "To be honest, they are quite good, they ate and slept, and then they just sat in a daze." ”
"No execution?" With some confusion, Levi swept over the clothes on the male elves that were obviously torn by the whip, as well as the blue and purple faces of many people, and also shook his head and said helplessly: "Forget it, it's not a big deal." ”
Looking inside the fence gate, the elves who were looking at them in fear, this group of people obviously still had an impression of the terrifying figure on the warship, and they were even more frightened and squeezed towards the back, they only had fear and fear in Levi's eyes, and they didn't even want to continue to sit on the straw mat, they just wanted to avoid Levi's scrutinizing eyes.
"This, that, and that."
Levi casually ordered the three elves, turned his head to the four female guards who were standing respectfully on the side, and casually ordered, "Keep them alone in other basement rooms." After a slight pause, he also instructed the other female guard, "Go and bring three plates of the best food." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The four female guards also nodded respectfully, and went to do the things arranged by Levi, and one of the female guards also took out a bunch of keys from her waist, and with a loud noise, she also walked over to open the fence door, and her burly and strong body walked in, pulling the three elves selected by Levi and walked out, as if she was leading her favorite pet dog, and threw them into the three rooms with a clatter.
The basement of the sheriff's mansion was divided into two types, one used as a cell for the prisoners, which was now the part where the elves were kept, and the other was used as a storage warehouse, with enough food for a week, and enough guns, ammunition, and cold weapons to arm twenty men.
After all, it is the center of a town, and if something unexpected happens, it can also adapt to it.
Of course it was useful now, as the three elves were locked alone in the room by the female guards with panicked faces, the small space seemed to be a confinement room, and they all sat trembling and squatting on the ground, and the cold ground was devoid of straw mats and blankets, which made them feel a chill all over them.
However, their current chill obviously turned into substance, because Levi had already pushed open the first cell door, and looked at the male elf who was huddled in the corner inside, and there was no longer the arrogance that belonged to them before, and he couldn't help but shake his head, walked over and put the plate he was dragging in front of him, looked at him and said, "I have a question, if you can answer it correctly, then you can enjoy these delicacies every day." ”
On the plate is Levi's daily standard food, carefully cooked by the Spanish chef, although it is leftovers, but after heating, it also has an attractive aroma, so that the elf who is huddled in the corner can't help but turn his head to look over, swallow and spit at the mouth, obviously also moved.
"I didn't ask for your opinion, but I don't think you have any room to refute it."
Levi smiled and pushed the plate forward towards the elf, his eyes were harmless to humans and animals, but the scimitar on his waist was held with his left hand as he squatted, and at the same time, his right hand put the letter in his arms on the ground next to him, and said lightly: "Tell me what you said, and I will ask other people later, if what other people write is not right with you, then you know what your fate is." ”
The elf hesitated slightly, the panic in his eyes and the scent that came with his snort, and he slowly stretched out his hand, swept the scimitar in Levi's hand, and finally picked up the envelope appointedly, but after sweeping the letter, his eyes were already instantly wide.
"What are you talking about?"
Levi slowly narrowed his eyes, looking at the shocked face of the male elf, and couldn't help but let out a cold snort between his snorts, and his voice was also a little threatening: "I hope the three of you are right, of course, if you trust your companions, maybe you can make a mistake somewhere, but I don't think they will know where you deliberately said the wrong." ”
Slowly swallowing and foaming, the male elf who had been beaten finally exhaled, and said slowly in that hoarse voice: "This... This... It seems to be one, a liaison officer named Anthony, who wrote a letter to the Elven Council, saying that the secret agent arranged more than ten years ago... Already untrustworthy, say he... Saying that he has been in the human world for a long time, for his own half-elf... The identity of the half-elf is no longer recognized, and it is needed... Someone needs to be sent to kill him..."
The elf said the words on the letter intermittently, and the corner of Levi's mouth smiled slightly, reached out and pushed the dinner plate towards him, retrieved his letter, looked at his wolf-swallowed appearance that was already in tears, and also smiled softly: "I hope you are right." ”
