Chapter 403: The Old Man
Naturally, Al had no idea what was happening in this dark cave, so he didn't know that the Shadow Clan Patriarch, who was insidious and cold-blooded in his mind, would let them go.
Therefore, when the Moonlight Clan and his party returned to the clan territory, Al even felt incredulous: "Just came back so peacefully? Nothing happened? The patriarch of the Shadow Clan is so merciful?"
However, he was puzzled and could return to the territory safely and soundly, and he was still relieved, just fine.
When he returned to the territory, he couldn't wait to find the elder of the Moonlight Clan who was proficient in medicinal stones, "How is the old man we asked the Elder Guider to bring back?"
"His body is still quite weak, and he has several serious wounds on his body, and it can be seen that he has been severely tortured before. Fortunately, after treatment, his life was finally saved. It's just ......", he sighed as he spoke.
"What's wrong? Could it be something wrong with your brain?", Al was a little anxious, it would be too bad to take such a risk and go to great lengths to save a fool.
"Oh, that's not it, although he is not energetic now, and he is very sleepy every day, but his mind is still very clear. The elder continued, "But he was injured in his footsteps and injured his hamstrings, and I am afraid that he will no longer be able to walk." ”
Al secretly sighed, "As long as you're not dead." He was even a little glad in his heart.
The old man couldn't tell if he was friend or foe now, the only thing he knew was that his strength must be extremely strong, from the magic he unleashed when he fought against the dark elves that day, except for Medea El, he had never seen such a powerful human mage.
If such a strong person is in good health, it will not be a good thing for El himself or the entire Moonlight Clan. If the conversation breaks down in the end, the old man's brazen action will cause great losses to the Moonlight Clan, which is not what Al wants to see.
On the other hand, now that he is not good at walking, his movement is restricted, even if he wants to go, he can't go, which also lays the foundation for the conversation in the waiting meeting, and puts Al and them in a stronger position.
"Can we go see him now?", Al asked.
"Of course it's fine, but don't take too long. ", the elder said.
Al nodded, and walked towards the stone house that the elder had pointed to, and behind him, the Epiphany Patriarch and Nightingale and Violet were all following him, and they were also very interested in the mysterious old man.
Why did a powerful human mage appear in the underworld, why did he clash with the Shadow Clan, did he have some ulterior secrets of the Shadow Clan?
He was so mysterious, like pollen attracts honey, attracting them to a group of curious people.
It's just that when he saw the old man, his attitude was surprising, even unpredictable.
The old man pointed directly at Al, "You stay, and everyone else goes out, if I find you long-eared eavesdropping." Hmph, the old man can't say a word. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't expect the old man to have such an attitude.
"That's not going to work. Nightingale hurriedly said, "Who knows what you'll do after we're all out." ”
"Hehe, you are an old man, and when you go out, I will hold this little guy hostage and threaten you?", the old man said angrily, showing a little disdain from his face.
"You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend against others, it's just a famous saying of you human beings. It's human nature for us to be on guard, isn't it? ", the Epiphany Patriarch said politely, but he did not give in at all in his words.
"Come on, the old guy has all his legs, what else can he do? Besides, this little guy is much stronger than you think, even if the old man makes a move, it will take half a day to take him down. ”
"Isn't it, little one?", the old man said as if he were talking to Al.
Al's heart suddenly struck, and he only felt that the guess in his heart was a few points accurate. He said to the matriarch, Nightingale and Pandan, "Let me be alone with this old gentleman for a while." ”
"But it's too dangerous. Nightingale said hurriedly.
"All right, Nightingale, don't disturb them, I don't think the old gentleman has any ill will. The matriarch stopped the nightingale, she glanced at the old man thoughtfully, nodded to him, and said, "Please rest assured, old gentleman, that we are not eavesdropping." ”
With that, the nightingale and pandan grass were pulled out, leaving the space for solitude to Al and the old man.
"Hehe, I didn't expect such a patriarch to appear in the dark elf clan, I thought the dark elves were all elm bumps. The old man laughed strangely and looked at Al, "Little guy, the old man reminds you, don't be fascinated by this woman, and when the time comes, you will have to help her count the money if she sells it." ”
Al replied lightly: "We dark elves have always been united, advancing and retreating together, if you provoke the relationship between me and the patriarch again, then we have nothing to talk about." As he spoke, he turned around and made a gesture of leaving angrily.
At this time, Al was still wearing a hood, and he had always spoken to the Dark Elves in Elven language, so his human identity was not revealed, and Al was not revealed, which would cause unnecessary trouble for the rest of the conversation.
"Haha, little guy, how long are you going to pretend in front of the old man? Although the old man doesn't know how you did it, a human can actually mix in a clan of dark elves, and it seems that he gets along well with the dark elves. The old man laughed loudly.
He shook his head slightly, his eyes constantly looking Al up and down, a look full of interest, and Al recognized this gaze. When he is fully engaged in experiments, or when he is interested in something strange, he also looks at the research target with this gaze.
"A true mage. ", Al thought to himself.
Now that he had been recognized, he pulled off his hood and said in human language, "How did you recognize it?" ”
"Isn't your body the biggest flaw? Little one, don't tell me you haven't felt anything until now. The old man's gaze suddenly became extremely sharp, as if he was about to insert it into Al's body.
Al felt the ever-increasing heartbeat and the strong fluctuations of the surrounding elements, and his face was ugly as a long-lost name popped out from between his teeth: "Vladimir Conrad!"
