Chapter 328: Secrecy

"Alan promised the lord, of course, he will follow the agreement to complete the task, even if it is worth the hard work, otherwise he will be dishonest and will not be laughed at by others. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Alan said with a smile.
"Cool! I like a straightforward person like Master Kante. ”
Holland didn't care about Allen's words with a gun and a stick, but laughed and praised.
"Alan, I heard that the target of your mission to rescue is the prince of the elves?"
Herbert asked.
"What the Archmage said is that our mission was indeed to rescue the elven prince Clonis. ”
Alan immediately gave the two of them a general introduction to the mission, and the two of them had already learned everything from Shelly, so Alan didn't hide anything, and told it all as it was, until he rescued Kronis and them from the Cyclops' cave, and he stopped.
Although the two of them already knew what had happened, they still listened very carefully, as if to confirm whether every detail that Alan said was the same as the one that Shelly had brought back before.
"Mr. Kanter, the danger you have been through, I now sound a little scared, if I had known that it would be so dangerous, I would have arranged for someone else to go. But your efforts have paid off, and the prince who has returned to the Elven Forest will be very grateful to you. ”
In the agreement between Alan and Shelly, there was no way to rescue people from the Cyclops' lair, but Alan noticed that when Hollanster said this, his pupils contracted significantly, and an imperceptible cold light flashed.
How did Hollanster know that the Elven Prince had returned to the Elven Forest?
Alan suddenly noticed a nervous look on Herbert's face next to him, and he immediately realized that Hollanster might have known about his escort of Kronis back to the Elven Forest, and he stopped talking about escaping from the Cyclops' lair, which aroused Holancest's suspicions, and now he was just testing whether he would continue to tell the truth. Herbert's nervousness was driven solely out of concern for himself.
"Yes, my lord, the elves are very grateful to us, because we have overfulfilled their task, not only rescuing their prince from the Holy See, but I have since escorted them back to the elven forest. ”
Allen's mind raced instantly, and finally decided to tell the truth, so he also told the story of how he made a spaceship to send Clonis and his party, but the end of this experience was only until they were intercepted by the griffin knights of the Holy See, and then rescued by the elven Pegasus, and finally Alan received a payment from the elven forest and returned. As for seeing Grantham and Galanor later, Alan skipped everything, especially the events in Rasbel.
No matter from any source, it is impossible for Hollanster to know what is happening in the Elven Forest, and even if he tells the truth, Hollanster is afraid that he may not believe his identity as a Great Elder, and may think that he is boasting, but it will cause other suspicions.
"Mr. Kanter, remember when you arrived in the Elven Forest?"
Holland's eyes kept on Ellen, as if he wanted to see if Alan was lying.
Alan pondered for a moment, and finally told Horancest a specific date, which was a few days later than the actual one.
"It should have been after the start of the war. ”
Hearing the date that Allen had announced, Hollander and Herbert looked at each other and said.
"Alan, did you hear anything from their prince when you were with the elves?"
This time it was Herbert who asked.
"They mentioned a lot of things, even the relics of their elven forest. ”
Alan finally understood why Holland was so eager to see him, they didn't care if they were going to lie to them, they cared if the dramatic change in the "one-sided war" was related to the mission. However, the object of their speculation is the elven prince, not himself, a human magician, so why not push the boat with the current and let them confirm their guesses?
"Relic?"
The word "holy object" in Allen's words really aroused the interest of the two people, especially Holland's eyes, which immediately lit up.
"Yes. One night, when I was sleeping on the spaceship, I woke up in the middle of the night, and they were still whispering about the relics, as if they meant that the elven prince had some secret of the relics, and he had to rush back to save the elves as soon as possible. ”
Alan moved the topic further towards the "one-sided war", since Holland and the others suspected that the task of rescuing the elven prince might be related to the reversal of the war, and the two could also be explained in terms of time fit, so Alan simply leaned in that direction, half-truths and half-falsehoods, and they couldn't tell the difference. In fact, if Alan really told them the truth, he saved the elven forest, I am afraid that the other party will not only not believe it, but may also think that he is crazy and is babbling.
Hollanster and Herbert looked at each other again, what Alan said was a little different from the information brought back by the mercenaries who had returned before, the mercenaries did not mention the relationship between the elven prince and the holy relics, but they did mention the Holy See's raid on Rasbel. This matter was originally a secret, and the Holy See did not disclose it to the public, but the fact that Raphael declared that the elven relics had become invalid at the Higg court meeting was hyped up by those with intentions. As the cardinal of the Holy See, Raphael will not take his word for it, and combined with the news brought back by the mercenaries, Horanster can conclude that the Holy See's raid on the elves is real and successful. But inferring from the reversal of the war situation later, the Holy See itself didn't understand why the elven relics suddenly came back to life, but now it seems that the answer is in what Alan said, and it has something to do with the elven prince.
Holland and Herbert kept exchanging glances, and their expressions changed from surprise to extremely solemn, and then the two of them asked Alan some more questions, all about the elven relics, but they were all fooled by Allen, and they didn't ask too many questions, obviously they themselves didn't think Alan knew more.
"Mr. Kanter, this mission involves the elven prince and the Holy See, and may even have something to do with the war between the two sides, although the mission level is very high, but the content is confidential, so out of this room, you must not mention it to the fourth person, otherwise it will be harmful to you and me. ”
After the questioning, Hollanster emphasized to Allen in a solemn tone.
