Chapter 591: There Are Cats and Birds
"Sindonal! Have you betrayed us? β
The Man in Black sat at a long table and stared at the young elder in front of him, unable to believe that Elder Sindonar would choose to ally himself with a blasphemer.
"I'm just following the guidance of the sacred tree...... Sokolen! Isn't that the reason you left Arthurcro at the risk of breaking the taboo? Time is running out for us! β
The calm High Elf elder retorted to his own people's opinions.
"Guidance from the Sacred Tree? Have you forgotten our commandments? 'Never rely on any blasphemer again'. The man in black said this with a solemn expression.
"Can the precepts change the fate of Arthur Crowe's imminent fall to the ground? No! β
Elder Sindonal denied the Blackman's words in an equally serious voice.
The two High Elves sat at the wooden table and confronted each other, if it weren't for Qiao Xiu's ability to imprison their magic, they would most likely have pinched each other directly.
But just when this tension is on the verge of erupting......
"That's... Do you need any drinks? β
The prettiest 'girl' of the Hearthstone Tavern, Ino, appeared at the long table, and she had followed Lady Marlena to the 'new tavern' to check it out.
The area around the tavern is still being renovated, and artisans from the Brotherhood of Artisans are renovating the building outside the tavern.
But the tavern is already open, and the two High Elves are the first and second guests of the Hearthstone Tavern - Underground Ruins Branch.
If it weren't for Qiao Xiu not thinking of any activities to open a store, there might have been a celebration ceremony.
Although there was no celebration, Eno instinctively did his duty.
"No thanks." Elder Sindonar responded to Eno in human language, which he had used to argue with the Man in Black.
These two languages are imprinted in the mind of every High Elf and are the knowledge that they can grasp from birth.
"I need a glass of ice ale." The man in black said suddenly.
"Okay." Ino took note of what the Man in Black had ordered and left, leaving Elder Sindonar looking at the Man in Black in silence.
The silence lasted until Ino placed an iced ale and dessert in front of the man in black.
"I've been talking to you for so long, and I'm a little thirsty."
The Man in Black took off the mask on his face, his face inherited the unique beauty of the High Elves, but it was very neutral, and it was not too feminine and handsome to describe it.
"This is what you call a blasphemer." Elder Sindonal watched as he poured a bottle of ale without hesitation, his fair cheeks flushed slightly.
"It's something that humans invented, and it has nothing to do with blasphemers."
The man in black replied with a blank face.
"I've been away from Arthur Cro for almost twenty years, and I've been able to draw less and less energy from the Sacred Tree, and in those twenty years I've come to understand the thing about hunger."
The man in black said as he picked up the cake that came with it and stuffed it into his mouth.
At this time, Elder Sindonal also observed some of the marks left by the years on the faces of the people in front of him.
The High Elves, nourished by the energy of the Sacred Tree, basically only need to eat once a month, and hunger pangs become frequent when they are away from Athercro.
Therefore, in the eyes of the High Elves, humans who need to devour the bones of living beings every day belong to the category of lower creatures.
"Is it really worth it after all these twenty years of suffering so much?" Elder Sindonar looked at the traces of the wind and frost on his face, and the original anger gradually extinguished.
"Pain? Elder Sindonal... I don't think you have tasted how delicious human food is! The Man in Black shoved a piece of cake into his mouth and said, "Hunger, Eat and Content, I'm addicted to this feeling, and if I connect with the sacred tree again, the feeling of fullness in my body will make me a little uncomfortable." β
"Then you should be more able to accept the guidance of the sacred tree than I do."
Elder Sindonal had been to Nolan once, but he still couldn't get used to some of the customs of the human race, and the Man in Black had already lived in the human world for more than twenty years.
He should be more receptive to foreign ideas than the old generation of High Elves.
"If you knew our past history, you wouldn't trust blasphemers." Said the man in black.
"I'm curious about the history of the High Elves?"
Qiao Xiu sat on the other side of the long table at this time, looking at the two High Elves in front of him.
With the blessing of the Frost Elf World Tree, Qiao Xiu could vaguely understand the language spoken by the two High Elves.
At this moment, the man in black silently took out Nolan's currency and put it on the table, and then continued to eat his dessert silently.
"Okay, Elder Sindonar, let's talk about what is going on with your race?" Qiao Xiu didn't mean to ask the man in black, and turned the topic to the elder.
"The Council of Elders forbids you to set foot in Arthurcro." Elder Sindonal said, "Even if the Sacred Tree decides to see you, it is considered extremely dangerous. β
"You're here to mean that the council didn't unanimously approve my decision, right?" Qiao Xiu was a little relieved when he heard that the High Elves were parliamentary.
"No, the decision was made by three High Elf elders who were much older than me, and they were very fond of the Chaos Demons... Wary. Elder Sindonal said, "The Sacred Tree has sent me to you... It was in the hope that I would somehow bring you to the location of the sacred tree, but the Council of Elders sealed it off and I don't have the ability to take you there. β
"What do the other High Elves think of my visit?" Qiao Xiu continued to ask.
"Many of us don't know about it, but the Council of Elders is divided, and one of the five elders is neutral, and I'm trying to persuade him to accept the guidance of the sacred tree, but he still has many concerns." Elder Sindonar glanced at the Man in Black and said, "The High Elves don't believe you have a way to save Arthurcro. β
"Does that mean to prove it to them?" Qiao Xiu fell into thought at this time: "Have you seen that girl in Al?" It is... That naΓ―ve High Elf before? β
"Al? She had been locked up by Elder Enya for a year, and she had been in contemplation, and I hadn't seen her in a long time. β
"After a year of confinement, you immortals can waste a lot of time."
Qiao Xiu waved his hand to open the interface of the magic web vision, although Al's popularity has been accumulated enough, the High Elves can collect the power of faith through the worship of creatures, just like other elves.
"As you can see, I'm going to open a shop in Athercro, I've heard your discussion just now, Elder Sindonal, you want your people to change, right?"
Qiao Xiu looked at the young elf elder solemnly and asked.
"The Council of Elders sustains Arthur Crow's splendor really... It's so ugly, that's why I'm looking for another way to salvation. Elder Sindonal said.
"Then please introduce our little shop to the young High Elves, isn't that the beginning of contact with the outside world?"
Qiao Xiu found a piece of paper and a stick figure flyer, probably the image of a cartoon villain giving a thumbs up.
"Change starts with contact with the outside world..."The man in black next to him muttered something Qiao Xiu said, "I still don't understand why the Holy Tree chose you." β
"The answer is simple, too."
Suddenly, a white cat lying on his stomach appeared on Qiao Xiu's head, and a standing black cat appeared on Qiao Xiu's left shoulder, and the remaining white bird landed on Qiao Xiu's right shoulder.
Seeing these three 'Sacred Tree Spirits' appear on Qiao Xiu at the same time, the man in black was so surprised that the bread stuffed in his mouth fell to the ground, and he didn't even notice it.
"Because I've saved the Darkwood Elves and the Frost Elves, they're having a good time now." Qiao Xiu stretched out his hand and scratched the chin of the white cat on his head and said.
