Chapter 21: There will always be a way

Iron Hammer shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can only wait for her to wake up, you ask her personally, I am only responsible for escorting her, I don't know about the rest." ”

Lin Jue, who got this answer, was a little helpless, but it was also expected. This kind of thing already involves state secrets, and it's just a hundred-person captain who undertakes the escort mission, and it's normal to not know. Lin Jue himself just asked with the mentality of giving it a try, but it was nothing if he couldn't get the answer.

In the end, Lin Jue let the hammer have a good rest, and then left the hospital and returned to the governor's palace.

At this time, Bi Fang happened to arrive here, and he had already asked the questions that Lin Jue had explained before.

"The Jungle Elves hibernate from October to March, and during this time, only a very small number of elves are on alert, patrolling the jungle and staying awake. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "In other words, at this time, the jungle goblins have theoretically entered the hibernation period?"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor. ”

Lin Jue sighed softly and said, "Maybe the news that Dawn City got before was not wrong, maybe it was really the jungle goblins who attacked the human city." ”

"But...... What is the magic that can freeze people into ice sculptures?"

Lin Jue said, "In any case, now pass on this news to our northern neighbor, the Ice Plains Kingdom." The faster the better, this incident is so weird that I always feel like something big could happen. I think they are much more interested in this event than we are. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Bi Fang said, "However, judging by the recent situation in Phoenix, I'm afraid we won't be able to deliver the news until February. ”

Lin Jue asked, "Why wait until February?"

Bi Fang replied, "Let's not mention that we have never been in contact with the Ice Plain Kingdom, and there are no supplies on the way. Now because of this heavy snowfall, our communication with the outside world has been cut off, neither cavalry nor ships can leave here, and neither water nor land will work. ”

After a moment of silence, Lin Jue smiled and said: "Don't worry, the solution is thought up by people, there is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road." ”

====================

The conference room of the Governor's Palace was now converted into a small banquet hall, and the moonlight shone through the cracks in the windows, spilling all over the floor.

In the banquet hall, a wooden table, a bouquet of roses, ethereal candlelight, elven food, melancholy music, Phinex who saw this scene for the first time, suddenly felt like she was living in a dream.

Lin Jue made a noble salute to Fenix, although it was not standard, the movements were very stiff, no matter how you looked at it, she was learning now, when Fendex was complaining in her heart, she saw him stretch out his hand, look at her tenderly, and said in his low, magnetic voice: "Beautiful Miss Phoenix, can you have dinner with me?"

Phinex was stunned, she didn't know what she was thinking at the time, she always felt that her body was out of control, and put her weak and boneless little hand into his warm and wide palm.

Lin Jue's movements were very gentle, as if she was caring for a delicate flower, guiding her all the way to the table.

"This is a dish that I have specially asked the chef at the Big Banyan Tree Restaurant to carefully create, and you see, it is all your favorite food. ”

"There are two more, strawberry cheese pudding cake and blue enchantress fondant cake, these two desserts are made by me, I don't know how many times I failed, I almost want to give up. But when I think that it was made for you, I have the confidence to make it. Fortunately, it finally worked, I don't know if you will like it, I just wanted to surprise you, sorry, I didn't ask your taste. ”

"Also, rose wine, with such a delicacy, and with this atmosphere tonight, it has to be a rose wine. ”

Roses, music, candlelight, dinner, these four things combined to create such a beautiful scene, Fenex felt a strange feeling in her heart.

She thought of herself, a proud phoenix, high up, disdainful of touching human beings, the pride flowing in her bones, so that she held her proud head high every day and accepted people's worship. It's a strange feeling, wearing a mask of pride every day makes her feel very comfortable, but at the same time, she feels tired.

But tonight, all this she experienced, this dreamlike feeling, she could no longer have a trace of pride, just quietly enjoyed all this, she let down the guard in her heart, and an unprecedented feeling of relief came to her, this feeling was actually much more comfortable than being worshiped by humans.

Fenix's face was blushing, under Lin Jue's service, she accepted all this easily, this soft, but somewhat sad music, this dim, but some dreamy candlelight, this beautiful, and fragrant roses, feeling Lin Jue's gentle words, enjoying the sweet food made by the elves, she only felt that in such an atmosphere, her heart was about to melt.

Lin Jue said softly: "Beautiful Miss Phoenix, can you agree to my request?"

Phoenix's small face turned red, and she felt that the temperature of her face was much higher than the boiling blood in her body. Her heart was pounding, and she was thinking, what would Lin Jue ask for? How would she answer? Oh my God, would he make any excessive requests? If she did...... Do you want to refuse? But in the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to refuse.

Fenix whispered, her voice was weak, she quietly waited for Lin Jue's request, looking forward to it, but she was a little scared.

====================

Early the next morning, a bird appeared in the sky above Phoenix, with red feathers all over it, about the size of an adult eagle. With a letter in her mouth, she flew straight north.

This bird is the essence of Phinex, and after learning what happened to him from the mouth of the dwarven hammer, Lin Jue felt that it was necessary for them to pass on this matter to the Ice Dwarf Kingdom.

However, the land and waterways were completely blocked, because Phoenix City was currently experiencing a small accident, the roads were covered with snow, and a large amount of ice floes in the north went down the ocean current, closing the port, so it can be said that the communication with the outside world was basically cut off.

If you want to report the news, according to the current situation, you can only consider flying over. And at present, there seems to be no one else who can fly except Finnex.

In the sky, as she flew, she muttered to herself, "Damn human, let the arrogant me do the work of delivering letters." Are you a pigeon or an owl?"

"I usually keep this phoenix as a pet, and today I even asked me to come out to deliver a letter? Who do you think you are!"

"The most excessive thing is that you dared to ...... last night Hmph, when I go back this time, I'm not done with you!"

At this time, Phinex thought of the scene last night, and when she thought about it, her straight teeth itched.
