Chapter 10: A Mysterious Event
Looking at the menu in his hand, Lin Jue felt a headache.
"Actually, I should have thought about this question a long time ago. Lin Jue looked at the menu helplessly, it was full of vegetarian dishes, and there was not a single meat dish. But if you think about it, how much can the elf-owned restaurant cater to human appetites?
At this time, there were already several dishes on the table, which Gloria had ordered before Lin Jue came, all vegetarian dishes, without any oil and water.
Seeing Lin Jue's embarrassed face, Lin Yue said to the elf girl: "Well, let's have two hot dishes based on mushrooms." ”
The elf girl smiled and said, "Okay, would you like to have a drink?"
"Mead. Lin Jue said.
"Please wait. The elf girl smiled and walked away.
Seeing the elf girl leave here, Lin Jue thought for a moment and asked Finix, "Little Phoenix, how much do you know about the race of jungle goblins?"
Phinex wondered, "I don't know much, but I still know some." But why are you asking this?"
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this, you tell me what you know." ”
Phinex thought for a moment and said, "The jungle elves are a sub-race of the elves. The elves of the East Road are mainly forest elves, and the forest elves are high-class elves, relatively speaking, the jungle elves are low-level elves. They have a much less lifespan than orthodox elves, and they are not as taboo as elves, and they can even be said to be a little ugly, well, that's all I know. ”
"That's all?" Lin Jue said in amazement.
Phinex shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's good that I know so much, okay? I've only been in contact with jungle goblins once in my life in this reincarnation, okay?Unless I can fully grow up, if I have memories of my past life, I should be able to tell you more news, but now, there are only so many." ”
Lin Jue frowned slightly, such a little bit of news was insignificant, originally he thought that the well-informed Fenicus should be able to tell him a lot of news about the jungle goblins, but he didn't expect that she didn't know much about this race.
Lin Jue asked, "So...... Do you know what kind of magic can freeze people into ice sculptures, and also ensure that the people in the ice sculptures are awake and do not die?"
Phinex shook her head and said, "If you freeze people into ice sculptures, I can do the same." But freezing into an ice sculpture can still keep this person awake, as far as I know, there is no such magical magic in the world, and spells are impossible, right?"
Lin Jue was stunned: "Wait, you said you can also freeze people into ice sculptures, but aren't you a fire magician?"
Phinex glanced at Lin Jue with ignorant eyes and said, "You don't know anything about power. ”
At this time, the four cups of mead had just been brought up by the elf girl with a large wooden cup, and the cups were placed in front of the eyes of the four people, only to see Phinex holding her hands in front of her chest, putting on a look of spirit. The next moment, the cup of mead in front of her suddenly began to freeze, and the whole cup of mead began to solidify at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Wow, how did you do this?" Lin Jue exclaimed. Lin Yue and Gloria stared at Finex in the same surprise, and even the elf girl who had just brought the mead and was about to leave stopped when she saw this scene.
If Lin Yue and Gloria were purely curious, the elf girl, who was born with a strong affinity for magic, set off a storm in her heart.
"Such a strong magic control, there are no magic fluctuations around, she didn't even move her hand, she turned this glass of wine into ice so easily, is she a great magician? No, is it a magic master?"
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Fenix proudly raised her little head, as if inviting merit, and snorted softly at Lin Jue, and the next moment, the mead was slowly thawing, and finally changed back to the form of a liquid.
Lin Jue curiously stretched out his hand and touched the wine glass, the temperature was actually about the same as the wine glass in front of him.
"You have to know that either you can play with fire are fire magicians, or you can be charlatans. The true meaning of fire magic is the ability to manipulate the temperature around you at will, including what you understand as fireball, which is to ignite the air at an extremely high temperature, rather than actually condense flames at random will. ”
"Now, as for the question you want to know, it's not much use for you to ask me, and the elf girl next to me is a forest elf, and it's much more useful for you to ask her than for me. ”
The elf girl smiled and said, "Of course, the guest officer can ask any questions at will, as long as I know everything, I know everything, and I have no end to it." ”
Looking at the elf girl's beautiful big eyes, Lin Jue moved her gaze to the side a little shyly and asked, "That...... What is the girl's name? Oh no, no, that, do jungle elves use magic that can freeze people into ice sculptures?"
The elven girl smiled, "My name is Eltanis, and I'm from the forest elves. ”
"Jungle elves, they don't have a good affinity for magic, there are almost no magicians in the entire race, and the magic that can freeze humans into ice sculptures is close to the realm of high-level magic, I'm afraid no one will use them. ”
"That's right. Lin Jue was silent. In the City Lord's Mansion before, Zhu Huan told him that the news they got was that it was the jungle goblins who attacked the human town, and this was the only clue that could be determined. But now, their close relatives, the forest elves, actually said that they would not use such advanced magic, so it seems that the jungle elves can rule out suspicion, so what is it that attacks humans?
"Miss Eltanis, may I ask the Jungle Elves, is it possible for the Jungle Elves to come out of the jungle and attack human towns during the period from January to February each year?"
Eltanis stared at Lin Jue with strange eyes, with a puzzled look, and said: "The jungle elves are not peace-loving, but they are not a race that likes to start wars for no reason, how can they attack humans for no reason? Moreover, during the period from January to February, the cold weather and the jungle elves who like warm environments have fallen into hibernation, and it is even more impossible to get out of the jungle. ”
Lin Jue was stunned, if what Eltanis said was true, then according to the habits of the jungle elf race, it was impossible to get out of the jungle from January to February, and they didn't have the magic to freeze humans into ice sculptures, so doesn't this mean that the news obtained by the City Lord's Mansion is wrong? If so, then what is it that attacks humans for no reason?
"If that's the case, it's going to be really hard. ”
The danger of the unknown is terrible in itself. Especially after knowing and determining part of the information, after later analysis, it was found that the news was likely to be fake, which was the most terrifying. The point is, why is this news fake? Is it the sorcerer who gave his life to report the news that told a lie?
This is very unlikely, after all, people are good at their words, and who would lie about the last precious bit of their life? After all, this means that they may have to bear the stigma after death, and no one is worth doing so. Unless the person who brought the news back thought that he was telling the truth, but that what he himself saw was a false impression.
Lin Jue pondered deeply, and said secretly in his heart: "In other words, someone is deliberately blaming the jungle goblin, but why did they do this?"
At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion, Zhu Huan was holding the piece in his hand that he had just received in his hand, and his whole body trembled slightly. This piece was handed over to him by the guards when Lin Jue retired before.
"Not a jungle elf? How is that possible?"
