Chapter XXIII: The Beginning of the Interrogation
And so, things took a turn for the worse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIs this female captive in front of her really the sister of the dark elf sorcerer Sasri who fought alongside Martin in the past?
Although in general, the dark elves are more indifferent to blood ties - quite a few dark elves die at the hands of their own siblings. However, it is still possible for Sasri, who is running towards the light, to care about her relatives.
"You heard me mention that name, so you tried to impersonate it. Martin said skeptically.
"No, you can take another look at my amulet, which clearly states that I belong to the Gern family. And if you do know Sister Sasri, then you should know that she does belong to the Gunn family. Zari explained. Just now, the name that Martin mentioned made her feel that there was a glimmer of hope, and she had to hold on to it.
Martin thought about it and felt that this matter could not be handled hastily. Because of his contact with Sasri and other dark elves, Martin understands that even the dark elves who live underground are not as evil as the outside world thinks, and that the image of the dark elves is too evil in large part because of the deliberate rendering of their enemies: the surface elves. According to the performance of the dark elves who grew up in the surface elves or other environments. In general, scholars believe that dark elves are creatures that are evil due to environmental influences, rather than creatures that are inherently evil. It is not uncommon for an evil social culture to be born in such a harsh environment, and an environment that is too harsh will naturally turn the heart cold. Moreover, even the dark elves who run out of the ground cannot be said to be evil people, and they must be eliminated immediately. What if, the dark elf in front of her is in a similar situation to Sasri, yearning for the light?
So, out of prudence, Martin decided to use a quarfeather talisman that could quickly deliver the message. Although that thing is quite expensive, the situation is special, and it has to be extravagant.
While waiting for a reply, Martin added another blanket to Zarie and made a fire in front of her. So that she can be warm. Now that the situation has changed, the captive should not be treated too roughly.
Magic is always magical, and it didn't take long for a reply from there, it was Sasri herself, she just didn't leave the mission, stayed in the temple, and received a message from Quarfeather Charm and Bird in time.
Saslie's letters were written in a variety of ways, making Martin feel like he was writing wherever he wanted. According to Sasri's answer, when she was underground before, she was indeed from the Earns family. And there is indeed a sister named Zali.
Although these are exactly the same as those on the amulet. Illustrates Zali's relationship with her. However, due to the special habits of the dark elves, it cannot be said that seeing this makes Martin let his guard down and treat Zari as a teammate. In particular, Sasri mentioned that when she ran away from the Gen family and came to the surface, Zari was still a very young child - this is obvious, Sasri has been on the surface for a long time, and seeing Zari's chest, which is only the size of a walnut, she knows that Sasri went out to the surface, and when she was still in the Genn family, Zari could only be a young child.
According to Sasri's next introduction, she didn't pay much attention to Zari at the time, and she couldn't see any kindness in Zari - this is also natural, who can see the kindness in a child? and if a drow in the underground does not hide his good side, then he is also very dangerous. It's not that the drow in this world hates goodness and doesn't allow goodness to appear. It's that the evil drow in the underground of this world all regard kindness as a sign of weakness and deception, and once a drow is discovered by other drows, then it will be very easy for other drows to deal with him. And often focus on the fire that shows kindness, the so-called persimmon picks up the soft pinch.
However, Sasri then talked about how she had received a letter from Zari just two years ago, expressing her concern for her sister. (Seeing this, Martin feels that he can be more reassured about Zarie)
But, Sasri goes on to say that writing that letter is a somewhat dangerous thing to do. Although escaping to the surface is not considered a defection (if you flee to the camp of the spider queen, it is considered a defection). But running away is also a taboo in the family, and if anyone is found out about contacting him, then he is likely to be punished. Therefore, it is quite suspicious why Zali wrote that letter......
However, it cannot be said that the letter contained any conspiracy. Because with the contents of that letter, it's not a big deal...... And he has been away from the Gern family for many years, and he has no contact at all, so he doesn't know the situation over there...... But I didn't hear any news of Zari being very evil or brutal. Zari probably won't be very dangerous. Moreover, although the drows who believe in the Scorpion Lord are also evil, they do not change their ways. Their wickedness is evil for the sake of profit, not evil for evil's sake. So vigilance is vigilance, but you don't have to be all soldiers......
Sasri's letter didn't get to the point for a long time - what to do with Zali.
However, no matter how unsophisticated Martin is, he understands the essence of Saslie. After Sasri relayed some information to Martin, she didn't say anything anymore and meant to imply that Martin was left to his own devices. She didn't want to get too involved in it - no matter what Martin did or what it did, it didn't matter what she did.
It seems that the dark elves are indeed indifferent to the family concept. Martin thought so. But it's no wonder that if Sasri intercedes for Zali, Martin will take Zari as a teammate. And if Zari later did something that endangered Martin, then Sasri would definitely have to take responsibility, and avoid responsibility, is something that anyone who has been rolling in the bureaucracy knows. However, according to the general meaning of the letter, Sasri still preferred to let Martin take care of Zari, but Sasri did not say it explicitly to avoid responsibility in case of an accident.
However, while Martin was pondering what to do, a new message from the Quarfeather Charm Bird solved the problem to some extent.
The new letter was sent by several superior leaders in the temple. First of all, I used a set of official words to express condolences to Martin. Martin didn't care about this, Martin was not a person in the system, but had just participated in an operation organized by the temple. Martin himself is now free and not subject to the control of any leading cadre, and some of his teammates who participated in the raid on the Black-robed Boer in the past are quite envious of this kind of chic life. Although those teammates are free people who are not attached to anyone in terms of identity, they are not completely free, they are under the control of the leader, and they have to abide by some discipline and other things.
But then, the higher-ups euphemistically expressed their views on the handling of the female captive. They hoped that Martin would bring her back.
As for why Zari was brought back, the letter did not explain. Martin also knows that the other party naturally has the other party's considerations, and may not say it to an outsider like Martin. However, I saw that the signature of the letter contained the name Trist. Martin decided it would be better to do so. Martin himself still has a good opinion of Lady Trace.
However, even the letter from the leading cadres still gave the final decision to Martin. They just want Martin to bring it back. If things were really bad on Martin's side, they wouldn't force Martin.
So, Martin had to decide for himself what to do with the female captive.
In these dark ages, there were everywhere personal dependencies, serfs were attached to knights, knights were attached to small feudal lords, and small feudal lords were attached to large ...... For some people, they are not willing to take the initiative to make decisions on their own, they would rather follow someone else's command and then do the job well.
But Martin is different. Martin knew what path he had chosen. Martin followed the path of the Starch Spencer Druid, not in the pursuit of power, but in order to be an independent man.
Martin, who used to be a serf, now enjoys being in charge. Although, as a member of society, it is impossible for him to be completely free. But freedom is a relative concept, isn't it? At least Martin is now freer than the vast majority of the world.
Of course, making your own decisions also means using your own brains, and Martin decided to work with those documents first. Take advantage of the fact that the translation konjac is not yet invalid, and look at those documents to get information. After all, even Sasri hadn't gotten information about the Gurn family for a long time. Getting the latest information about the Gurn family can be helpful in deciding what to do with Zali.
There aren't a lot of documents, and Martin skimmed out some underground maps, treasure maps, and forces that aren't relevant for the time being. The rest were read quickly. After reading it, Martin thought about it for a while, and then read it again.
"It's like doing reading comprehension questions back in the day!" Somehow, this strange thought popped into Martin's mind.
Anyway, in the end, Martin figured out what was going on with the Gunn family lately.
A war between the Gern family, who worship the Scorpion Lord, and a family that worships the Queen of Spiders. The Gerns were at a disadvantage, and although they had found allies from the surface, they were still outmatched. And it is likely to fall in the near future. So, the Gunn family sent an emissary (apparently Zali) and several guards to find allies on the surface for help. At that time, if the Gerns resisted, then it would be a counterattack with their surface allies. If the Gern family ceases to exist. Then ask the allies on the surface to go to other families who worship the scorpion lord, and wait for an opportunity to fight back and take revenge.
Interestingly, there are also some treasure maps on the document that are clearly hand-made. The head of House Guen explained that the fragments were among the other families that worshiped the Scorpion Lord, and if they were found underground, they would naturally be able to obtain a complete treasure map. "It's got what you want so badly. The head of the House of Gurn wrote.
And for Martin, who had participated in the crusade against the Black-robed Bull, he saw something else between the lines. That surface ally of the Genn family is the force to which the black-robed Bull belongs!
"It's a big fish!" Martin thought. He knew that the organization was still tracking down the forces behind the black-robed Bulls. These documents, to some extent, are of great value.
Those things are a long time later, though. In Martin's mind, the most crucial thing right now is to find the holy relics that will save Liukrisia.
And the most current thing is how to deal with the female captive in front of her.
Martin does not believe that those documents are forgeries. It was a complete accident that those documents were able to influence Martin's decision-making. Well, something starts to come to mind.
"What about your bodyguards?" asked Martin first, to Zali. "I hope you can answer truthfully. If you dare to deliberately deceive, then I don't mind letting you taste what it's like to be skinned alive. The female warrior in front of you is a Sikitae who are accustomed to using human skin. Martin's tone was rather unkind, and while he didn't expect to be able to intimidate the notoriously cunning Dark Elves (even though they were just children), he had to show them that he wasn't soft-hearted. As Sasri said. The dark elves who worship the Scorpion Lord do not hate goodness, but they regard it as weakness. Martin wants the other party to understand that he is not easy to deal with.
The girl under the blanket shrugged helplessly and said, "As you can see, I'm alone. If my guards were still around, would there be any immediate situation?"
Based on the limited information provided by the village chief, as well as information that Martin had obtained from the Global Hawk reconnaissance. Martin believed what Zali said. After all, it is impossible for a dark elf with bodyguards to be captured twice and the bodyguards never appear.
"It seems that you are telling the truth. Don't rush. Let's move on slowly. Martin said as he regretted that he had put a blanket over Zarie, suspecting that it would make her think he was soft-hearted and seize on the weakness. So, Martin hurriedly added, "I'll cover you with that blanket, so I'm not afraid that you'll freeze." I'm just worried that the frostbite of the captured captives will affect the price of the slave market. ”
In this way, the exchange between Martin and Zari slowly unfolded.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― fromThe expo is back, and I'm tired. There are also many things. Not in the mood to write. Fill up the water chapter.
The expo is still good. Among them, the few minutes of the video in the China Pavilion really moved me to watch. The filming is quite good, and my country's director is still capable in the end. The changes in the Shanghai family in the past 40 years are also quite good.
Of course, time is tight, and I haven't seen the old Shanghai outside the Expo Park. However, I was very impressed with them putting their clothes outside to dry. The sky in Shanghai is so blue, and the air is so thorough. You can see the clouds so clearly at night...... But it's also good to get sun during the day.
