Chapter 391: Exchanging Intelligence
"It's me."
Lin Yi stepped on the corpse of a half-orc, holding his hands on his chest and looking at the screen in front of him.
In the picture, Seymour is staying with a tall, handsome elf, not only talking and laughing, but also stuffing the fire dragon sword he gave him into the elf.
That's it!
Lin Yi was suddenly vigilant.
I'm afraid that my precious apprentice will be deceived by this little white-faced elf, or even more - will be bent!
Lin Yi's brows furrowed, and his gaze kept wandering back and forth between Seymour and the other elf's faces.
Immediately after, he adjusted his voice and said in a cold tone: "Tell me, what happened just now, why is the Fire Dragon Sword not on you?" Could it be that these woodland elves are trying to snatch your sword? ”
Seymour was shocked when he heard this, and quickly explained, "No, Master! It was I who took the initiative to give the Fire Dragon Sword to Legolas, and he said that he had never seen a magic sword like the Fire Dragon Sword, so he wanted to see it, and that's it! ”
…… I didn't say it!
Legolas' eyes widened suddenly, and his handsome face was full of resistance and rebuttal.
But remembering the cold voice full of danger just now, Legolas hesitated, but still didn't say anything.
After all, the woodland elves may still rely on this unknown Maia or Vera, and they must not turn away such a powerful help because of their momentary feelings.
"I see."
Lin Yi's voice softened, but the expression on his face did not relax in the slightest, and even became more vigilant.
It's Legolas!
The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched, if this was the movie world, it didn't matter, because Legolas's sexual orientation in the movie world was very normal, and he was a rare straight man among elves.
But if it's Legolas in the world......
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said pointedly.
Legolas...... If I'm not mistaken, he's the son of the Elven King Thrandil, Seymour, and it looks like you're on good terms with the prince of the Woodlands! ”
Seymour was a little surprised when he heard this.
As soon as he wanted to hint at Legolas's identity, Lin Yi directly pointed it out, and this strange coincidence made Seymour almost have the idea of whether the master had been following him in the shadows.
But when he thought about it, Seymour was relieved.
'Yes, even I have found the Woodland Kingdom, and at Master's speed, I must have found the surrounding human gathering places, and the information about the Woodland Kingdom and Legolas should have been obtained from those places......
I guess I want to exchange information with me when I say this! ’
'Well, that's how it should be! What a Master! ’
Seymour suddenly realized, praised heartily in his heart, and hurriedly spoke.
"Master, you can hurt me, you only told me that the dwarf withheld the white diamond necklace of the elven king, but did not tell me that the country below the mountain, Erebo, has been occupied by an evil dragon from the north and turned into a dragon's lair, and now I want to complete your trial mission, I need to snatch back its treasure from under the nose of an evil dragon!"
At the end, there was a hint of resentment in Simud's tone.
However, this trace of resentment is not for Lin Yi, but for the space-time trial task, after all, this task describes such a lot, but it doesn't mention the matter of the evil dragon Smaug, it is obvious that it is to trap him.
Lin Yi on the other side tugged at the corners of his mouth when he heard this, knowing that this kid had misunderstood what he meant.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that the task was more important, and he could leave this world after completing the task, and even if something really happened at that time, there would already be two realms apart.
The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more reliable he felt, and suddenly said in a deep voice.
"I was about to talk about this, I really blame me for this matter, I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, the country under the mountain has actually fallen, but since you have already arrived in the woodland kingdom, then there is no need for me to modify the trial mission."
Seymour suddenly showed a bitter gourd face.
"Master, what should I do then?"
"Don't worry, I've sent you a little help."
Seymour's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What help?" ”
"A squad with similar goals to yours is led by a dwarf named Thorin Oak Shield, who is the grandson of Thror and the rightful heir to the kingdom of the mountain, and this time it is he who has gathered twelve dwarves to sneak into Erebo, steal the Akon Gem from under Smaug's nose, and recover Erebo."
“…… You want me to act with a group of dwarves? ”
Seymour's eyes widened in disbelief.
Whether it is his own elf identity or the sincere sorrow in Thrandil's eyes, Seymour subconsciously stands on the side of the woodland elves, coupled with the fact that the dwarves in the mission are biased towards greed, causing Seymour to have a very poor perception of the dwarves in this world, and even put these dwarves into the camp of villain bosses a long time ago.
Under such circumstances, how could Seymour work with a group of dwarves?
Asking for them like you did in the cave before is the limit.
To be honest, even if Legolas really chose to die at that time, Seymour would most likely respect his choice.
At the same time, a clear hint of anger appeared on Legolas's face.
Fortunately, his good aristocratic qualities barely suppressed his anger, and he didn't interject before the end of the conversation between Lin Yi and his apprentice, but just gritted his teeth and looked at the silver card in Seymour's hand with anger.
"Don't worry, listen to me."
The voice of the silver mangcard was tinged with a smile.
"In order to steal the Akon Gem, Thorin Oak Shield found the gray-robed wizard Gandalf and entrusted him with recruiting a good snitch for himself, not to mention, Gandalf really found a very good snitch."
Seymour was slightly stunned when he heard this, and Bilbo's figure subconsciously flashed in his mind.
"Let me guess, he's a hobbit?"
"Looks like you've already seen him...... That's right, he's the help I found for you! ”
“……”x2
Seymour and Legolas looked at each other, and all the doubts and anger in their hearts were gone.
Legolas was even more ashamed, remorseful at his previous doubts.
Seymour remembered the scene when he saw Bilbo earlier, and Joon's face showed a hint of surprise.
"He's a snitch, so it's no wonder he's so quick and stealthy that even my senses can dodge...... If it were him, it might be possible to steal the white diamond necklace. ”
Legolas finally couldn't help but speak up.
"But how can we get him to help?"
"It's simple, Your Highness Legolas." Lin Yi's voice sounded faintly, "Now that you've met that hobbit, you should take down those dwarves, right?" ”
Hearing Lin Yi call his name, Legolas was a little embarrassed at first, but when he heard the words behind him, his expression suddenly became solemn.
"That's right, you also know the connection between the Woodland Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Mountain, and I can't let this group of dwarves swagger out of the dark forest."
"That's easy, I think that snitch has a good relationship with the dwarves, you can completely threaten him with his life and the life of the dwarves, of course, you can also choose to spend money directly to hire, the dwarves can pay more."
Legolas frowned slightly, his face tangled, and said with some embarrassment for a long time.
"Your Excellency Lin Yi, with all due respect, woodland elves can't do such a thing."
"You mean pay to hire?"
“…… I mean threatening people! ”
"Oh, I see, the woodland elves are pretty good, but I think I need to be reminded that Thorin Oakshield's bargaining chips for hiring this snitch are one-fourteenth of Erebor's treasure."
Legolas: "......"
"I think it's okay if I say this kind of thing, I still have to let my father decide."
Legolas had a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Seymour didn't understand what the oneteenth treasure in Erebo meant, but seeing Legolas's appearance, he vaguely guessed that it must be a very, very large fortune.
"Master, don't fool us, there must be a better way, right?"
"Of course, but you need to think for yourself, if I have everything set for you, then what's the point of this trial mission? Seymour, I've left you all the clues, go think about it yourself! ”
After speaking, Lin Yi hung up the communication.
Seymour's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly shouted with his card in his hand.
"Wait, Master, can you tell me where you are now?!"
After several inquiries and no response, Seymour suddenly put away the card with a depressed face.
Legolas, on the contrary, comforted Seymour.
"Seymour, you don't have to care, I've seen a few beings like your teacher before, and their style of acting is generally so mysterious and ethereal, and very meaningful."
"You don't understand, my teacher is different."
————
Seymour tried to explain, but seeing Legolas's 'I understand' look on his face, Seymour suddenly gave up the idea of continuing to explain, and instead sighed depressedly.
"Let's go, go back and talk to His Majesty Thranduil."
"That's all it can be."
Legolas nodded, and the two turned and walked into the depths of the forest.
