33. Origin
"So," the Great Elder's silver eyes exuded a cold light, she looked straight at Zhao Yuan, and said word by word: "The nature of the elf clan is not so much kindness as hatred. Those betrayed blood elves, they just couldn't stand this kind of escape and wanted to fight desperately. ”
Zhao Yuan was completely shocked by the Great Elder's words, he was speechless for a long time, the moment the Great Elder looked at him, he even had a ridiculous feeling, as if the Great Elder in front of him was a real blood elf, this thought made him shudder.
However, Zhao Yuan's eyes crossed the scene when he first arrived at the elves - the Sensen Iron Castle still couldn't hide the greenery, the young and beautiful elves shuttled happily, every move was so natural and light, and he still remembered that when he first saw Xavier, her bright smile, flushed cheeks, and sparkling silver eyes all made Zhao Yuan deeply feel that the elves were not a race full of hatred, and their kindness and peace were dissolved in their blood and bones, which came from the nature of God.
"Then Great Elder, why did you choose to be a Faith Elder?" Zhao Yuan asked flatly, and as soon as the words came out, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense.
"Are you suspicious of me? The Great Elder chuckled, "But this is understandable, after all, you outsiders' images of our elves are so rigid and deep-rooted. ”
"You don't need to react so much, Great Elder, I'm just confused. "Zhao Yuan knew that although he was on the territory of the elven clan, he himself was also an eighth-order archmage, and the elven clan was asking for him now, so it was naturally true.
"The elder has blessed the elven clan for tens of thousands of years, longer than the legendary god who once existed, if it weren't for the elder, the elven clan would have ceased to exist a long time ago, isn't it natural for us to believe in the elder?" Regarding the Great Elder's answer, although Zhao Yuan felt unexpected, he was also a little strangely dissatisfied. Since the Great Elder can have such unusual insights about the Blood Elves, he should also have more thoughts about the existence of the Elders. Now that she has such an official answer, it seems a little eager to cover up.
"In this way, even if the blood elves are shrouded in hatred in their hearts, they should not betray the elders. And isn't it strange that their survival must be done with the blood of their kind, and their hatred should be vented against other humans, not against their kindred. Zhao Yuan asked.
"I don't know about this, who knows what those evil blood elves think? This time, the Great Elder replied even more unabashedly perfunctory.
Zhao Yuan held back his anger and said: "Great Elder, you are the elder of the elf clan, I am just a stranger who only came to the elven forest yesterday, if you are not worried about the crisis of the elf clan, then I don't have to worry about that idleness." ”
Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, the Great Elder also seemed to react that what she said was too much, so she slowed down her tone: "Lord Zhao Yuan, it's not that I don't care about the safety of the elf clan, on the contrary, I hope that the elf clan can be well better than anyone else." But there are some things that you don't know and don't understand, so you won't understand some of my practices and ideas. Maybe I, as the Great Elder of the Elven Clan, will spend more time thinking about what those Blood Elves are doing, so as to solve this great problem at the root, instead of blindly killing. But at the same time, like you, I always put the safety of good elves first. Our goals are the same, and there may be some arguments between us, but we shouldn't put the innocent elves of the elves in danger because of this, right?"
Zhao Yuan didn't understand these truths, but he and the Great Elder looked at the problem from the same angle, Zhao Yuan thought that in order to solve the problem, everyone should put their hearts in their hearts and not hide anything, but the Great Elder, as the ruler of the elf race, was more authoritarian and did not allow others to question it. Regarding the current situation, Zhao Yuan can't say whose way is better, he can only reconcile with the Great Elder on the surface, and behind the scenes, Zhao Yuan will still do what he thinks is right.
The Great Elder only turned a blind eye, as long as Zhao Yuan could participate in the battle as an eighth-order archmage in the battle that might break out in the future, it would be enough.
These days, Zhao Yuan also consciously did not take a step out of the elf fortress again, and his spiritual power monitored every move of the elves in the fortress all day long. And he would go to the Guiye Pool every day, but it was mainly Luis who arranged for the suspicious elves to enter the pool.
And Louis, although he obeyed Zhao Yuan's request, he was always silent. His scarred face was always expressionless, and he often came to visit his younger siblings at first, but gradually stopped coming to him. Zhao Yuan talked to them, and the two elves felt that their brother had become a different person entirely, saying that he used to be a very responsible, gentle and polite person, but now he has become ruthless.
Zhao Yuan asked them, their brother was also a victim, he sacrificed not only physical trauma, but also spiritual scars, shouldn't they understand. Listening to Zhao Yuan's words, the two elves looked at each other, and finally, the youngest sister said timidly: "But our enemy is a blood elf, why should he treat his clan and us like this?"
Zhao Yuan was speechless for a while by the elven sister's words, he didn't know how to explain to them the concept of a great change in temperament after psychological trauma, after all, the other elves quickly came out of the shadows with the encouragement of their companions, including the two elves who also had a tragic experience.
Perhaps in his mind, Luis's change was a sympathetic and understandable thing, but in the eyes of the other elves, he was almost as terrible as the blood elves.
Zhao Yuan was speechless, he could only watch the elves become more and more estranged from Louis, and his original friends and relatives were afraid to face him. Maybe it's because of his scarred devil-like face, or maybe it's because of the deep hatred in his eyes that are buried in his coldness.
"Lord Zhao Yuan, all the suspicious elves have already entered the Guiye Pool, but they have not checked the blood elves. Louis reported to Zhao Yuanyu, who was sitting on a wicker chair.
Zhao Yuan glanced at him, and saw that although his face was still expressionless, there was a flash of anger between his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
"Have all the elves who are on the outing mission checked?" Zhao Yuan asked. In fact, the elves' outing tasks are all in turn, and if you really want to investigate, the scope is very large. But fortunately, the Xiwei rescued by Zhao Yuan had a different clue, that is, the moonlight grass that was gnawed. That piece of moonlight grass had been confirmed by the elves three days before, so the injured blood elf must have gone out within three days, so the scope of the investigation was greatly narrowed.
Hearing Zhao Yuan's question, Louis quickly replied, "No, my lord." Several elves did not enter the Returning Leaf Pool because they were unwell. He spoke quickly, as if he couldn't wait.
"Didn't you say that all elves must be examined, and what reason do they have?" Zhao Yuan asked with a frown.
"They were all elves who were the last to escape from the mouth of a berserk beast. Others also believe that they are not suspicious, and that they have more or less wounds on their bodies, and entering the Guiye Pool with them will worsen the wounds. Because the Guiye Pool itself will absorb the power of the elven flesh and blood. Luis said.
When Zhao Yuan heard Louis's last words, something suddenly flashed in his mind, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find it.
"What about you, Louis, have you ever entered the Guiye Pool for examination?" asked Zhao Yuan.
"On the first day of the inspection, I went in, Lord Zhao Yuan. Louis replied in a flat tone.
Zhao Yuan glanced at him in surprise, to say that the elf clan was the most seriously injured, it was Louis. Even with his great healing technique, the wounds on Louis's body were still too fresh, and they would crack open with a single movement. He actually went to Guiyechi on the first day, and the wounds on his body were probably even more difficult to heal.
"The wounded ...... on your body" Zhao Yuan hesitated a little, because the Great Healing Technique is not costless, it is to use magic to stimulate the vitality in the injured person's body, which can be said to be an overdraft behavior. However, in general, injuries that require major healing are enough to be fatal.
"Thank you Lord Zhao Yuan for your concern, I'm fine. With the blessing of the elders, the spirits with strong faith will continue to gain vitality. Louis said lightly.
Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at the scar on his exposed outer skin, although it was still very hideous and dense, there was indeed no trace of cracking. But it's been a few days, and Louis has entered the Leaf Pool on the first day, and even if he looks good now, his vitality will definitely be lost a lot, and his lifespan will be shortened a lot.
"In that case, call all the elves here and get them examined. Zhao Yuan said categorically.
However, Sivir said to let them heal before coming back for a check-up. Louis replied.
Zhao Yuan was stunned, it turned out that there was such a play, no wonder as soon as he asked, Louis couldn't wait to complain. He shook his head in his heart, Sivir is still too simple, at this time, every day the blood elves hide, the elf clan will suffer more losses, how can it be delayed. So he said to Louis, "You bring them directly to check them, and I'll tell you if Sivir finds them." ”
"Okay, Lord Zhao Yuan. Louis saluted respectfully, and immediately went to find the elves, Zhao Yuan looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.
