Chapter 217: Getting down to business
Xu Mu's face was a little peculiar, I didn't know whether he was sad or thinking, so he was silent and didn't speak.
Instead, the patriarch on the side suddenly spoke.
"Indeed..."The heart of the elf" was said to be a fairy tale by Granny Tree, probably because she thought she would never have a chance to meet it again in the future... Granny Shu, you may not know it yet, just now, Mr. saved Hua Ao. ”
Granny Shu shook the branch and asked strangely, "Hua Ao, I remember that he is also over a hundred years old, why is he still so naughty as a child to fight with demonic beasts?"
"No, Granny Shu, Hua Ao didn't have a conflict with the Warcraft... It's that humans have just invaded the boreal forest!"
"What?"
Then the patriarch told what he heard, especially focusing on Xu Mu's sudden action to stop the behavior of the five Enge, especially Xu Mu also cut off a person's leg, kidnapped Enge, and made a deal with the fiefdom nobles behind Enge.
After the matter was finished, several elders of the forester next to him and Granny Shu were very surprised, and they all looked at Xu Mu.
Xu Mu also felt strange... Because Granny Tree obviously has no eyes, he can feel that he is being watched by a big tree.
"Granny Tree, and the patriarch, don't worry about this. Since I dare to make a move, I will not let the foresters suffer, let alone let the northern forest have an accident. Xu Mu grimaced and said confidently: "I will not let the things of a thousand years ago repeat the mistakes of the past." ”
Xu Mu's self-confidence made several foresters look at each other.
You must know that Xu Mu captured a nobleman, and he had to trade this person with the fiefdom nobles outside... There's something wrong with that.
But out of trust in Xu Mu, especially when Granny Shu said that Xu Mu was a human with the 'heart of an elf', it also showed that Xu Mu was worthy of the trust of the foresters.
"Alright... I'm kind of aware of the Elven Heart, and although I still have a lot of questions, none of them matter. Xu Mu stood with a long sword in one hand, he looked up at Granny Shu, and his voice was a little serious: "Granny Shu, I have something to say to you..."
The tree mother shook the branch and said kindly, "Say it, old man listen." ”
"The words are a little secret... I wonder if anyone else on the field can avoid it except the patriarch?"
The patriarch was stunned, while the other forester elders were not unusual, and they looked at each other and said goodbye to Granny Tree and left.
After they left, Granny Tree said, "Say, the old man is interested in what you have to say. ”
Xu Mu looked at Granny Shu, pondered, and asked solemnly: "A year ago, did one of the Heaney royal family come to the Northern Forest with a royal token and entrust the forester to make a bottle of special potion?"
As soon as these words came out, the patriarch was stunned, and even Granny Shu had a grim aura on her body, and the kind spring breeze smell that she had emitted before disappeared.
The atmosphere turned out to be a little tense.
Because the entrustment agreement between the royal family of Heaney and the Northern Forest is a secret matter, most of the foresters only know that a human came to the Northern Forest a year ago to ask for help.
How could Xu Mu know about this?
The patriarch thought of something and woke up: "Luya told you?!"
Xu Mu nodded: "Indeed, but I hope the patriarch doesn't blame Lu Ya, it's Lu Ya's temperament that is too simple, and I deliberately said it." ”
The patriarch's face was suddenly full of confusion, on the one hand, he had said that Xu Mu would always be a friend of the forest people, and since Xu Mu asked about this matter, he should tell him.
But on the other hand, the foresters had a pact with the royal family of Heaney, and this matter could not be passed on.
The tangled patriarch couldn't help but look at Granny Tree, who had always given them the right guidance when the foresters had something difficult to decide.
Granny Shu was silent for a long time, and said calmly: "It stands to reason that with your relationship with the Northern Forest, it is not impossible to tell you about this matter... However, the Northern Forest has made an agreement with the royal family of Heaney, and this matter cannot be told to outsiders, and it is difficult to deal with old decay, so..."
"The foresters accepted a commission from the royal family and helped the royal family make a potion with special effects. And what the royal family needs to pay is very simple, that is, a knight alternate position, and after the knight candidate returns to become a knight, he can give the foresters the opportunity to export alchemy potions, right?" Xu Mu ignored what Granny Shu said, and said to himself.
Granny Shu didn't speak, and it was also surprised that Luya had said so much to Xu Mu, and because of the agreement, it didn't answer Xu Mu, no matter if what Xu Mu said was right or wrong.
Seeing that Granny Shu and the patriarch were reluctant to speak, Xu Mu couldn't help but sneer: "Granny Shu, patriarch, don't you really think that the royal family will let Lu Ya successfully return to her profession and become a knight, right?"
The foresters didn't have so many cities, and the patriarch immediately couldn't help asking: "Sir, do you mean that the royal family has deceived us?
Xu Mu shook his head: "The export of alchemy elixir is just a trivial matter, and it is not this that really makes the royal family taboo." The northern forest has been cut off from the outside world for a long time, and I don't know much about the big and small things that happened in the Heane Kingdom..."
Granny Tree spoke: "Then you, what do you want to know?"
"It's not that I want to know anything, it's that the boreal forest needs to know something. Xu Mu's eyes were a little awe-inspiring, "Why don't we make a question deal, I'll ask a question, you ask one, if my conjecture is confirmed, I'll tell you everything." ”
The patriarch was not assertive and looked at the tree mother-in-law.
Granny Shu was silent for a while, and shook her branches: "Interesting, this kind of problem is the first time I have encountered this kind of problem... Okay, but the question needs to be asked first. ”
"No problem!"
"Xu Mu... Are you royal?"
Granny Shu obviously wants to determine Xu Mu's identity, if Xu Mu is really a member of the royal family, then telling Xu Mu about the matter is actually not a real breach of contract.
Xu Mu pondered for a while and replied: "It can be said that it is, but to be precise, I am a person who serves the royal family, and it is not impossible to insist that I am a member of the royal family." ”
This kind of answer obviously made the tree mother and the patriarch a little puzzled.
Xu Mu was reluctant to procrastinate, and asked directly: "A year ago, the human who came from the Heaney royal family with a royal token is not an old man?"
It is impossible for Torah and Xenia to arrange for outsiders to do such a thing as making a special potion to frame Heniyi, and it must be Torah himself who will come.
Granny Shu was a little surprised when she saw Xu Mu knowing the appearance of the person coming: "I didn't expect you to even know this!"
Seeing that his question was confirmed, Xu Mu felt cold in his heart for some reason, and his eyes were a little depressed.
The patriarch thought of something and asked, "Then let me ask the second question." Sir, why do you say that Lua can't return to her profession and become a knight?"
"The current royal family will not allow a forester who knows about the potion incident a year ago to become a knight..."
The patriarch was stunned: "Why?"
"Because the foresters who knew about the potion incident a year ago would be a threat to Her Majesty..."Xu Mu said this, and suddenly felt a little weak in his body, and his eyes were even lowered.
