179 Lies
Wentini left angrily, finally attracting the attention of the Sunset Elves, and the patriarch Green Wind personally greeted them and brought the two into the clan.
Following in the footsteps of the elves, Charlie steps into the misty zone deep in the Twilight Forest, the sacred mountain of the Sunset Elves.
In the valley of the mountain, a huge giant tree rises to the sky, its trunk is dozens of meters thick, the old bark is covered with traces of time, the part that can be seen by the line of sight has exceeded more than 150 meters, the other half goes straight into the sky, is blocked by the fog, from the bottom up, the branches are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun.
What a wonderful creature! I can't guess its age! This is probably the Kabbalah, the tree of life that Wendini once mentioned, the sacred relic of the Sunset Elves!
On a visual level, it is a behemoth, perceived from the level of the soul, Charlie feels that he is facing a vast ocean, every leaf is like a wave, and the coercion he felt in the strange woodland at the beginning comes from this ancient tree, and its will is enough to cover the entire twilight forest.
Seeing Charlie's surprised appearance, several elven warriors showed disdain, they were full of hostility towards Charlie, not only because Charlie was an outsider, but also because in front of many elven warriors, he put down three of them in an instant, making General Morrowind lose face and make them embarrassed.
"Heh, I've never seen the mudblood of the world. Someone whispered softly.
Green Wind seemed to have ears behind his back, suddenly turned around, and said solemnly: "Lotse, your narrow-mindedness has disgraced the Sunset Elves! Pride is our tradition, and it is true, but pride must have some basis.
Our basis is excellent artistic perception, strong strength, noble character and good cultivation.
You, in the face of the strong, do not know yourself, are not convinced, are not in awe, cannot see your own shortcomings, blindly belittle and sarcastically others, but in fact your heart is extremely weak, I am very disappointed in you!"
As he spoke, Green Wind turned to face several other elven warriors, "You too, you can't beat it, don't be ashamed, it's shameful that you can't afford to lose!"
As he spoke, several elven youths lowered their proud heads.
"Young man, it's hard work, you go and rest first, and later, I'll set up a banquet to formally express my gratitude!" Green Wind casually commanded, giving Charlie a deep look, "Sivir, you take our guests to the guest room to rest first." ”
Charlie naturally understands the intentions of the green wind, he is also full of distrust of himself, but the way of doing things is more tactful, no matter what he asks from Wendini, Charlie has to make his position clear.
"Mr. Green Wind doesn't need to be polite, some things are easy to do, not worth mentioning, in fact, from the root, I, like you, are victims of the undead forces, you can ask Wendini for specific details. ”
Green Wind bowed slightly, and as an invitation, Sivir led Charlie to a large tree next to the Ancient Tree of Life.
It is a simple treehouse, carved out of a large tree, the wooden bed and the treehouse are integrated, and the surface of the wood is coated with clear grease, which is pleasant and pleasant, making people feel comfortable.
No matter what environment he goes to, Charlie can be at ease with what happens, although the attitude of the twilight elves is not friendly, but, from a rational point of view, the current twilight elves are in a difficult situation, and Charlie faintly revealed that he is in the same trench as them, plus the role of Wendini, they should not embarrass themselves.
Charlie simply went into shallow meditation to pass the time.
Six hours later, as night fell, Charlie woke up from his meditation and could see through the window of the treehouse that the fluorescent mushrooms on the trees emitted soft light, giving the forest a dreamy color at night.
Not long after, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door, "Stranger, come with me!" ”
Charlie followed the elven youth into the path of the Ancient Tree of Life, all the way up.
Moments later, in the treehouse of the Tree of Life, Charlie met the Patriarch Greenwind, who sat beside him four middle-aged elves of his age, including General Morrowind.
Green Wind said: "Hello, Mr. Charlie, thank you very much for everything you have done in the secret realm, and, listening to Wendini, before the decisive battle began, you also saved her life in the twilight forest, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of the Sunset Elf Council, you have gained our friendship, in addition, we have prepared some small gifts for you, to express our hearts, I hope you do not refuse." ”
Green Wind gestured to the things placed on the table beside him, and Charlie glanced at them, and found that they were some emerald green twigs and some crystal bottles of elixir, which were presumably the specialties of the elven tribe.
At the moment when Green Wind expressed her gratitude, Wendini secretly glanced at Charlie, and Charlie understood the meaning: she said that everything was explained according to Charlie's script, so that she could rest assured.
Charlie said quietly: "The Greenwind Patriarch is too polite, there are some things I have to do, Sivar pursues an arbitrary and high-pressure ruling strategy in Twilight Town, and uses force to coerce us to die for him, we are very hurt! ”
Green Wind showed an interested expression and asked: "Speaking of which, I do have a lot of things I don't understand, can you please ask Mr. to explain the confusion for us? I want to know who you are? Why did you have a conflict with Sivar? What is Xival's ulterior motive?"
He started talking, but Charlie came prepared.
Charlie took a sip of green tea and said in a deep voice: "I am from the Arcane Ring, I am a freshman of the Arcane Ring this year, more than two months ago, the main courtyard carried out the activities of the free mission season, and we came to Twilight Town, but it turned out to be the beginning of a conspiracy.
As you should know, seventeen years ago, Sivar succeeded Old Verding as head of the Arcane Ring Necronomical Branch.
After more than a decade in business, Sivar has turned Twilight Town and the entire Necromancy Sorting House into his own kingdom, imposing the brutal law of the dark jungle in the town, prompting vicious competition among apprentices and increasing the casualty rate.
On the one hand, replenish the consumables of corpses and souls needed for necromancy, and on the other hand, create an atmosphere of terrifying domination and solidify his control with fear.
Long before we arrived, Sival had already begun to brew an independent operation from the main house, with the aim of breaking away from the main house's oversight and appropriating the necromancy branch for his own personal purposes.
The first time I rescued Wendini was also a coincidence, I had a conflict with Sival's apprentice, he killed my brother, I wanted to seek revenge on him, and he also wanted to kill me, so, seeing him sneak attack Wendini, I did not hesitate to take action, ready to kill him, but unfortunately he escaped.
Then, perhaps Sival felt that the time was ripe, and first resolutely broke away from the arcane ring and declared independence, after which he immediately launched a great battle with you.
Before the battle, he closed the portal back to the main house, so more than 4,000 main court apprentices were all stranded in Twilighttown, and without his knowledge, he coerced and lured them into battle.
Then, as everyone saw, the freshmen of our current session of the main courtyard were almost dead! It can be said that he was the biggest beneficiary and the only beneficiary of this decisive battle!
My teacher, Master Nar, was furious at this, and the Magister Council of the Arcane Ring was furious, especially Mr. Alfred.
Therefore, the reason and purpose for me to stay here is that on the one hand, it is inconvenient to go back, the transmission passage is closed, and it is almost impossible to go to the Arcane Ring on the ground, and on the other hand, I want to provide real-time information to the main house, and try to sabotage Sivar's plan with my own strength!
So far, it's been a success, at least I've stopped the first wave of Sival's actions against the secret realm!"
Charlie's answer is true or false, the first half is undoubtedly true, the reaction of the academy and the mission he arranged for himself are fabricated, it is a lie, and he is not worried about being punctured, firstly, this arrangement is very reasonable, and secondly, the sunset elves will not go to the Magister Council to verify Charlie's mission, at most they will verify Charlie's identity, whether he is an apprentice of the main academy, whether he is an apprentice of Master Nar.
From the smile on Greenwind's face, it was clear that he was quite satisfied with Charlie's answer, as it removed the biggest concern in Greenwind's mind - his worst fear that the Necromancy Academy's actions represented the attitude of the Arcane Ring.
Now, it seems, not only are they not, but they have one more potential ally.
Green Wind praised: "That's really thanks to Mr. Charlie, a young grade, upright and righteous, with excellent ability, careful thinking, and thorough planning, so that a dignified great magister is helpless!
Charlie smiled in return, not caring about his compliment.
"By the way, speaking of the secret realm, I'm also curious about what kind of place is inside? It was the decision of Old Ferding and my clan elders to close that secret realm at the beginning, and we didn't know about it this time. Green Wind glanced at Wendini beside him and said, "You and Nissa have both been in, but she can't tell what's inside, I want to ask sir, do you know the details inside?"
Sure enough, this is probably the question that Green Wind wants to figure out the most! Unfortunately, this is also the question that Charlie least wants him to know the truth!
Facing Wendini's burning gaze and playful eyes, Charlie said in a deep voice: "It's a very strange world in there, and I can't describe what kind of place it is......"
So, Charlie gave a brief overview of the environment inside, he mentioned the majestic snow-capped mountains and magnificent temples in the distance, and also mentioned the weird and terrifying guardian golems and snow god colossus, mentioned their incredible attack methods and damage capabilities, and depicted the encounter between the two in it as a life-and-death escape in the jungle.
Those undead warriors and their own elves are fleeing each other, falling into each other, fighting each other, and dying one after another, the royal court guard Ryan died in order to save Wendini, and finally Charlie took Wendini to the end of the laugh and found a portal to the outside world.
After Charlie finished speaking, the afterglow of Green Wind's eyes fell on Wendini, who made a supplement to Charlie's explanation, which can be regarded as a complete fulfillment of Charlie's lie.
Although Green Wind was reluctant to believe Charlie's story, he could only choose to accept it, and he had no idea that Wendini would cooperate with Charlie to deceive his own people.
"In that case, Sival's painstaking plan may be aborted! those strange creatures shouldn't give him any chance!" Morrowind couldn't help but interject.
Charlie nodded, "Unless Sival personally enters the secret realm, after all, he is the Grand Magus, maybe he has more means." ”
A middle-aged elf with a slightly rough appearance said fiercely: "If he really dares to go in, we might as well give him an inner and outer clip, it is best to kill him, once and for all!
Kill Sival?!
This is a good idea! Charlie had never had such an idea, he knew that it was impossible, what if he added the master of the elven race?
