Volume IV The Clash of Light and Darkness One hundred and sixty-three, disappointing answers

Lucien frowned and stared at Minna, slowly recognizing who she was, the tense expression on his face relaxed a little, but still very cold: "It's you?" How did you come? What about Xiao? He glanced at Alex, "Who is he?" ”

Minna hurriedly said: "Grandpa is not here, this is my friend Alex Lucian, please let me into the forest, I have something very important to look for you"

Lucien said coldly, "You should be well aware of the ban given by our queen, right?" Go back! Radlow won't see you! With that, he waved his hand and motioned for his companions to turn and leave

Minna hurriedly took a few steps forward: "Don't go, Lucien! I'm not just here to see Radlow, I really have something very important to ask to see the Elven Queen and I are here on behalf of the four human nations, no, maybe the countries of the whole continent to ask for her help."

Lucien jerked his head back, "Don't drag us elves into the strife among you humans!" We have no interest in the dirty stuff! ”

"That's not the case," Minna hurriedly denied, "Lucian, this incident doesn't just happen within the human race, it also has something to do with you elves, do you remember the reason why the elf queen decided to block the forest back then?" Don't you want to know who is out there spreading rumors about the treasure and indirectly killing the children of your clan?! ”

Without waiting for Lucien to respond, the elves next to him were the first to move, two of them called Lucian's name lightly, he hesitated, and said: "Then you come with me" rode the silver wolf and walked two steps, and then turned back to Alex: "Magician, you stay"

Alex was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Minna, and Minna hurriedly said, "Please let him go with him, is it okay?" Although he is a magician, he is a messenger sent by Van A, and he will know some things better."

Lucien glanced at Alex a few times, "Believers in the God of Light?" Hmph, it's not much better! He waved his hand and said nothing, but he no longer stopped Alex from following

The elves rode the silver wolf first, and halfway through, Lucien left the group and took Minna and Alex to the interior of the forest, and the other elves continued their patrol work

Minna followed closely behind the silver wolf, so as not to lose it, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Alex's physical exhaustion, so she reached out to pull him Alex's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly broke away from his hand: "It's okay, I can go by myself" and then looked at Minna with complicated eyes: "You are actually a girl..."

Minna grinned and felt a little smug in her heart: "You didn't recognize it, did you?" ”

Alex gritted his teeth: "yes, I didn't recognize it...", he finally understood why "Minter" was angry when he was joking the other night, he was so wronged, if he had known that his friend was a girl, he would never have made that kind of joke! Secretly looked at Minna a few times, he couldn't figure out how this gesture was completely a big man, and his friend had been with him for so long, how could he be a woman?! The group of three walked through the dense forest to a clearing, Minna immediately recognized that it was the place where the tree house used to live in a winter, only to see that the branches of the trees that were originally bare are now growing green leaves again, and the thick earth flowers and vines are wrapped around the branches, almost covering the original treehouse, and two other cabins have been built on the canopy of the treehouse, one of which is only one meter away from the nearest big branch, and a long green vine hangs down from the branch, and a small wooden board is tied to form a swing

In front of the treehouse, there is a rattan floor chaise longue, which is very delicate and stable, and there is a wooden plate on the small table next to it, in which the fruit is only half eaten, and there is an upside-down book on the side of the plate

Minna couldn't help but stop and look around, trying to find out the current owner of the treehouse, but she didn't see anyone left and right, and anyone was very disappointed

Alex has been carefully observing since he found out that there is a treehouse here, and deduced that there must be people living here, so he whispered when he saw Minnadi's expression, "Who lives here?" ”

Minna pursed her lips: "It's my little uncle"

"Little uncle?!" Alex wondered if he had misheard, "Isn't the Elven Forest off-limits to humans?" ”

Minna opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain, when she suddenly heard a cold snort from Lucien in front of her, and she hurriedly pulled Alex to follow

After walking far, the treehouse had completely disappeared into the shadows of the trees, Minna looked back a few more times, and suddenly saw a thin figure flying over several tree canopies, jumping onto the tree about twenty meters in front of them, and shouted at Lucian: "Uncle Lucian, can you help Mom deliver something?" ”

Lucien shook his head lightly and pointed to the two behind him: "I'm going to take them to see the queen, passing by, Princess Funoya didn't ask me to send anything today"

The man's face was full of disappointment, and he glanced at Minna and the two with some curiosity, and suddenly felt that the girl walking in front was a little familiar, but Minna couldn't help but be excited in her heart, and shouted: "Xiaola! ”

Radlow was stunned, and immediately recognized the brown-haired and green-eyed girl: "You are... Minna?! You've gotten so big! ”

Minna smiled happily and tilted her head: "You have also grown up a lot, and Ai is ten centimeters taller?" ”

Radlow seemed to have been stepped on by the tail of the cat: "Twelve centimeters!" It's 12 centimeters! ”

He is still the same child, he can't tell that he is in his twenties at all, but his height has increased a little compared to that year, his round face has also become thinner, his chin is pointed, lined with silver hair and golden eyes, and he looks more and more cute like an angel He is dressed much better than before, but the milky white fabric is stained with a lot of dust, which slightly destroys his image

He looked at Minna, and his eyes also revealed joy, but when he saw Alex behind her, he couldn't help but be confused, so he jumped off the tree, accompanied Minna and the others to the depths of the forest, and then whispered to her, "Are you coming to me?" What about your grandfather? Didn't he come? Minna also replied in a low voice: "Grandpa didn't come, he went to see grandpa and grandma, because they gave birth to platinum and needed someone to take care of me, I haven't seen grandpa for a long time, and I don't know when he will come back"

"Oh?" Radlow pursed his lips and glanced at Alex, "And who is this guy?" Your partner? ”

Minna almost choked, and quickly denied: "He's my friend, it's a friend!" He's not my partner! ”

Alex pouted, "Of course I'm not her partner, I didn't even know she was a girl until an hour ago"

Minna glanced at him, and he turned his head to look at Radlow, a little curious: "Why can't he recognize you as a girl?" ”

Minna snickered, bent down to approach Radlow, and lowered her voice, "Do you remember, I said before that I knew an old magician who could change the appearance of people's hair and eyes as an earth demon?" He also made a gender-changing place, and I just drank his magic and became a boy, so Alex didn't recognize me."

Radlow was surprised: "How can there be such a thing?" Why didn't you show me back then" He looked Minna up and down: "What will you be like if you become a boy?" ”

"That's pretty much it, but the face is a little different, it's a little taller, and the strength will be greater," Minna thought for a moment and smiled, "I still have a bottle of Transformation Magic Pot, when I'm done with things, I'll show you, how about it?" Radlow nodded hurriedly and asked, "What are you going to do when you come back?" Tell me about it."

Minna just wanted to say when she heard Lucian's cold voice in front of her: "It's here, you just wait here, I'll go and ask the queen" She found that her group had come to a clearing, surrounded by big trees and trees with large and small tree houses, more than a dozen elves climbed on the window, looked at them with some curiosity, and was immediately reprimanded by the adult elves, and reluctantly retracted their heads

Minna was a little hesitant: "This is not the Elven King City, is it?" "In the distance, the royal city, which was made entirely of stones, was magnificent, but it was at least two hundred meters away

"The royal city is not allowed to enter by non-elves," Radlow said lightly, "I can't enter without permission, let's just wait here."

They didn't wait long and after a while a few people "floated" from the elven royal family, three of them were dressed in white on the left and black on the right, all of which Minna had seen, one was Princess Funoya, the mother of Little Radi, and the other was the fierce Princess Aurora, the one in the middle, who looked a little similar to the two princesses, but was much older, and had an indescribable temperament, feeling, somewhat like Minnachai with Valfred III and Gale II, this was probably the Elf Queen, and she was busy coming forward to meet, Alex learned her movements and saluted the queen as well

The other two, one was Lucian, and the other was holding a green wooden staff, and they were also elves who had seen them once, and they seemed to be some kind of elders of the elven clan

Princess Funoya is still so gentle and kind, but there is a little less sadness between her eyebrows, she smiled at Minna first: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown so big?" How is your family? ”

Minna hurriedly replied: "Very good, my grandfather is fine, but he is now going to take care of his sick grandpa and grandmother, and he is not on the mainland, so he can't come to see you... Please don't blame him."

Princess Funoya just smiled and didn't say anything, Lucien frowned, and said to Minna: "Don't worry about chatting for now, let's say, what is the truth you know?" ”

Minna hurriedly said: "When I left the Elven Forest with my grandfather, I entered Nuojia from the snow-capped mountains in the north, and met a few mercenaries on the way, who came to hunt for treasures after hearing rumors about the treasure, but after they entered the snowy mountain, they heard that they encountered an avalanche, so they didn't come to think that there should be a lot of mercenaries who came back then, right?" ”

The Elven Queen didn't react, and Funoya nodded with a smile: "There are indeed a lot, but they were all driven away by Lucien."

"In fact, they all came here at the instigation of others!" Minna continued, "We found the man who spread the rumor, and then followed him all the way to Nomonka, where we heard him talking to his accomplices that his purpose was to cause the elves to be dissatisfied with the human land, to seal off the forest, and to cut off all contact with the humans! And his accomplice is responsible for convincing the monks of the Cult of Light to open the country to foreigners freely."

Alex hurriedly stepped forward when he heard this: "I can prove that the Van A has always restricted the entry and exit of foreigners, and later after being persuaded by others, it agreed to open the border, but I didn't expect that soon there were many conflicts, many Van A civilians were injured, and even the archbishop unfortunately passed away The Central Holy See ordered the blockade of the border a few months ago, just like the Elven Forest, completely cut off contact with the outside world"

Aurora said coldly, "Do you want us to know how vile and aggressive you humans are, and even the Brahmans, who have always been famous for their indisputability, suffer from them?" ”

"But that's a conspiracy!" Minna raised her voice, "As soon as Fan Ah closed the country, the real mastermind behind the scenes launched an attack on the countries of the continent, Her Majesty, that is the Demon Domain!" It's Warcraft and Demons! ”

The elves were shocked, and Aurora was the first to refute: "Don't talk nonsense! The demons are blocked to the west of the continent, and it is impossible to cross the Sonia Mountains and the Devil Desert! ”

"It's true!" Minna quickly pulled out the blueprint with the magic position on it, "This is the magic array we found, do you recognize it?" ”

Lucien quickly stepped forward to take the drawings and give them to the queen, inadvertently glanced at the paper, her face was a little gloomy, and the elf queen only hurriedly looked at the drawings and understood what was going on: "So, Van Ah has already joined the war?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Jada said respectfully, "The countries of the continent have formed an alliance to fight against the invasion of the Demon Domain, and after learning the truth, they immediately joined the war, but now the human countries are only barely supporting and are unable to destroy the Demon Beast in one fell swoop We heard that more than a hundred years ago, the elven clan helped the human race to achieve victory, so I came to ask you for help"

The elven queen was silent, Princess Funoya wanted to speak and stopped, but Princess Aurora sneered: "This is your human business, don't want to drag our elves into it again, say anything about building a beautiful world where all races live in peace, we will never believe you again!" ”

Alex said, "Why do you say that? Aren't elves a member of the continent? He was a little anxious and wanted to persuade a few more words, but Minna stretched out his hand to stop him

Minna looked at Princess Aurora and said with some hesitation: "I know what you are talking about, and I don't want to say more good things about human beings, although there are still good people in the human race, there are still good people, but there are some despicable guys, I can't bear to stay with them, but this matter is different, if human society is really occupied by demons, it is very likely that the next one to suffer will be elves, even if it is for you, please help us!" I don't expect you to help, we just need a little fountain of life, as long as we can restore the strength of the Scepter of Light, we will have a way to deal with the beasts! ”

Aurora wanted to say something, but was stopped by the elf queen, who said lightly: "I understand that although I also want to help, but unfortunately, this time, we may not be able to do anything"

Minna was stunned: "Why?!" ”

"Because the fountain of life dried up just a hundred years ago"

(I seem to have become a line king lately...) )
