Chapter 11: There is no escape
Evelyn didn't run away from home secretly.
She lied from the beginning.
In fact, she had her mother's permission to leave the Elven Forest.
But there was one thing she wasn't lying.
She left the Elven Forest to find her father, but the reason was not that she missed her father, but that she urgently needed to find her father and return to the tribe to preside over the overall situation.
Because.
Her mother suddenly fell ill with a strange illness ten years ago.
Ever since she contracted this strange illness, her mother had become more and more forgetful, often forgetting everything she had said one second, especially as time went on, and Evelyn's mother's forgetfulness became worse and worse, so much so that it affected her to preside over the affairs of the clan.
Evelyn's mother was no more than 300 years old.
In terms of elves' lifespan, her mother is in her prime.
What's more, her mother still has the strength of the Earth Knight and the Great Magister, and the professionals at this level are basically invulnerable, and even most of the poisons cannot pose a threat.
In Evelyn's memory.
My mother's body has always been very healthy.
But why did you suddenly suffer from strange amnesia?
None of my mother's grandparents had ever suffered from a similar illness.
For this.
Mother personally visited the High Priest in the Temple of Elves in order to solve the problem of amnesia.
After examining his mother's condition, the high priest of clinker said that even he could not do anything about it, but the high priest did not find anything abnormal about his mother through various examinations.
You must know that Evelyn's mother is the patriarch of a clan, and if something goes wrong with the patriarch, it will inevitably cause turmoil and unrest in the clan.
And Evelyn's mother's amnesia can't be hidden.
So much so that the affairs of the clan were gradually handed over to the elders of the clan in the end.
The problem is that this is not a long-term solution.
The so-called snake does not walk without a head, and a bird does not fly without wings.
A tribe cannot do without a patriarch.
Although Evelyn is the daughter of the patriarch, she naturally has the right of inheritance from the patriarch.
However, Evelyn is still young and can't convince the public at all, not to mention that the elders in the clan have all begun to look different after her mother's accident, some elders are firmly on Evelyn's side, but some elders are opposed, thinking that Evelyn is completely incapable of the position of patriarch at this stage.
For the dispute of the elders.
Evelyn couldn't see that the dissenting elders clearly wanted to take the position of patriarch herself.
However, in this process, Evelyn's mother did not express her opinion from beginning to end.
An angry Evelyn had spoken about this when her mother was sober.
But the mother smiled.
This is a very normal thing in the tribe.
Once the patriarch of the clan no longer has the ability and prestige to lead the clan, then there will naturally be people in the clan who want to replace him, although there are personal selfishness, but in the final analysis, the people who want to replace them are all for the sake of leading the clansmen to live a better life.
Perhaps due to the long life span and the natural yearning for freedom, the elves' pursuit and desire for power are far inferior to those of humans and other races.
Although Evelyn didn't attach much importance to the position of the patriarch.
But there is always a little unwillingness in my heart.
At this time.
Someone suddenly occurred to her.
Her father.
Since she does not have the ability and authority to inherit the position of patriarch.
But what about her father?
So she immediately had the idea of leaving the Elven Forest to find her father.
Again.
She also had the opportunity to find out if there was a solution to her mother's amnesia.
After all, the continent is so large that there must be well-informed people who know the origin of my mother's illness.
When she told her mother about her idea, she agreed without hesitation.
Maybe my mother hadn't seen my father for a long time, and I was afraid that my amnesia would worsen in the future, and I would even forget my husband in the end.
With the mother's consent.
Evelyn embarks on her own journey to find her father.
However, she has been going around the Divine Continent for seven or eight years without getting anything, even if she has a bloodline sensing technique, it will not help.
It wasn't until her mother urgently summoned her through Shinying and told her to rush back to the Elven Forest as soon as possible that Evelyn gave up looking for her father and hurriedly returned to the Elven Forest.
After an unknown number of days and nights.
She finally arrived at the Elon Kingdom, which was closest to the Elven Forest.
Evelyn, who was physically and mentally exhausted, planned to rest for a day in the Elon Kingdom, and return to the tribe directly after recuperating in one breath.
As a result, I happened to run into Xia Fan.
In the face of this strong man with a mysterious origin, Evelyn had no power to resist and let the other party capture him alive.
From that moment on.
Her mood has become like a roller coaster.
thought that after falling into the hands of Xia Fan, he would end up miserable.
After all, Evelyn, who has traveled south and north over the years, is not stupid and sweet.
It can be said that he has a deep understanding and feeling of the darkness of human nature and society.
If it weren't for her extraordinary strength, she would be extremely good at disguising and protecting herself.
I'm afraid that people will have already eaten all the scum.
So far, there are three or five hundred evil people who have died in her hands.
But when she was about to return to the Elven Forest, she accidentally planted it.
And it was planted very thoroughly.
Because the enemy she faced this time was too strong.
However, the goddess of fate played a joke on herself.
Not only did the other party hurt himself, but even agreed to help him in the end.
Although his help is conditional.
But this condition was not worth mentioning in Evelyn's opinion.
She wondered if there was some conspiracy behind the other party's promise to help her.
Here's the problem.
Is it necessary for the other party?
No matter how you look at it.
Evelyn felt like a god playing on the world.
Although the gods cannot descend on the God-given continent, the gods can descend on their own incarnations in the believers.
Although the power of the avatar is not comparable to that of the real body, and there is a time limit, it is enough to run rampant in the Divine Continent.
You must know that similar things have been recorded many times in the history of the God-given continent.
So.
When Xia Fan said that there was something in the future that he could no longer take care of those half-orc children.
Evelyn immediately thought that the time for the other party to be an incarnation was coming.
Xia Fan didn't have the time to pay attention to Evelyn's thoughts.
After successfully settling Lina's future arrangements, he couldn't help but feel relaxed and at ease.
Whoever made him leave this world sooner or later in the future.
But before leaving.
There's no way he's going to ignore this group of cute beast-eared little lolias.
Anyway, he touched the ears and tail of each beast-eared girl, Lori, he must be responsible, right?
Then again.
He seemed to touch Evelyn's ear too.
Not.
Presumably she wouldn't care, would she? After all, she didn't sleep with each other.
Come and think about it.
When the time comes, it will be better to solve Evelyn's mother's illness as compensation.
“...... Your Excellency, when are you going to go to the Elven Forest?"
Although Xia Fan turned into his father just now and teased himself.
But Evelyn apparently didn't pay attention to it, and her mind was temporarily focused on leaving.
"In a few days, we'll leave when the children are well rested. ”
Xia Fan said leisurely, crossing his legs.
“...... Good. ”
Evelyn was silent for a moment.
She really wanted to return as soon as possible, but she didn't have any say in front of Xia Fan.
If you think about it.
Now I'm still a captive of the other party.
Meanwhile.
A burly young man with a grim face strode into a temple.
The knights on duty at the temple did not react when they saw him, and allowed him to walk quickly through the temple.
Moment.
The young man came to a bright side hall.
And the long tables in the side hall were full of people.
When the young man entered the temple, their eyes fell on him.
But the crowd just nodded at him, and then ignored the young man.
The young man seemed to come to the chair at the very end.
As soon as I sat down.
An old man in a white robe on the head of the long table calmly glanced at everyone present, and said in a deep voice.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting. ”
"The assailant has an eyebrow. ”
As soon as the words fell.
A middle-aged man in a black robe on the left hand side of the main seat said in an indifferent tone.
"Who is the other party?"
On the right hand side of the main seat, a tall man in silver armor and a covered helmet said in a deep voice.
"The other party is from the far north. ”
A middle-aged man in a black robe said.
"The Far North?"
Hear this.
Everyone present whispered to each other.
"Do you remember the mysterious explosion that originated in the Far North five hundred years ago?"
The middle-aged man paused before speaking slowly.
"Of course, I remember going to the Far North with my mentor to explore, but unfortunately I found nothing. ”
At the long table, a man in a red robe with a bald head said with a grim face.
"Didn't the gods give an oracle saying that this mysterious explosion originated from an extraterrestrial meteorite?"
A middle-aged man in a pale gold robe said in a calm tone.
"However, a month and a half ago, a mysterious person appeared in the epicenter of the explosion in the Far North, in what is now the Cavern. ”
The middle-aged man in the black robe ignored them and continued to talk to himself.
"This mysterious man has performed a technique of spatial movement, even erasing the memory of anyone who has seen him. ”
"How did you know about this?"
Someone asked suddenly.
"Oracle. ”
The old man, who had been silent on the throne, suddenly spoke.
"An oracle from Mother Earth and the Goddess of the Night. ”
"What?!"
As soon as the words came out.
It immediately caused an uproar among everyone present.
You know, the gods don't just send down oracles.
Once the gods come down to the oracle, it means that things will be very different.
"The oracle tells us that this mysterious man left the Far North for a short time in the area of the Kingdom of Locks, and then traveled all the way south, presumably to the Elven Forest. ”
The middle-aged man in the black robe waited until everyone was quiet before speaking slowly.
"Could it be that the oracle has told this mysterious man that he is the perpetrator?"
Some people are impatient.
"Nope. ”
The middle-aged man shook his head expressionlessly.
"The oracle only pointed out the whereabouts of the other party, and asked us to find him as soon as possible. ”
"Huh?"
Most of the people present were stunned.
What does that mean?
"But according to our speculation, the perpetrator is most likely the mysterious person referred to by the oracle. ”
The middle-aged man said indifferently.
“...... So how do we find this person?"
There was a moment of silence.
Someone spoke.
"The Goddess has given me the divine power to track the other party. ”
The middle-aged man said.
"I've summoned you here to track down the matter. ”
The young man sitting at the end of the long table remained silent throughout the meeting.
until the dissolution of the meeting.
After leaving the temple, he went to a remote tavern on his own.
"Did you encounter something?"
Inside a deserted tavern.
The young man was the only guest in the tavern.
He sat down at the bar and snapped his fingers casually.
Moment.
A tall man with a strange tattoo on his face appeared in front of the young man, he took a wooden cup from under the bar and put it in front of the young man, then picked a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet behind him, uncorked it and poured it all over the table.
"Remember my previous mission?"
The young man picked up the wooden cup and took a sip of the wine in the glass, and said calmly.
"Yes. ”
The tall man said expressionlessly.
"Something ...... accident"
said.
The young man succinctly stated the meeting.
"An oracle?"
The tall man muttered to himself.
"Say, who is this mysterious person, and how can he make both the Mother Earth Goddess and the Goddess of the Night send an oracle to him?"
The young man rubbed the edge of the wooden cup.
“...... The Lord had said that the gods had lied five hundred years ago, and that the Great Bang in the Far North was not the result of the impact of an extraterrestrial meteorite. ”
The tall man muttered for a moment.
"What do you mean...... There was another reason for the big explosion back then? Or ......"
The young man suddenly thought for a moment.
"Or maybe the explosion was caused by the mysterious man in the oracle. ”
The tall man said indifferently.
“...... I need to ask the Lord. ”
The young man pondered for a long time.
"Come back tomorrow at this time. ”
The tall man nodded.
"Good!"
The young man took a sip of the wine in his glass, got up and walked towards the door without hesitation.
Survey.
It's coming to an end.
Xia Fan, who was far away in the Elon Kingdom in the south, didn't know anything about this.
At this moment.
He was happily playing a game of lifting high with the beast-eared girls and little loli.
After all, he will spend less and less time with these lovely children.
While he's still with them.
He just wanted to bring them more joy.
Not far away.
Evelyn seemed to be watching Xia Fan and the beast-eared lady Lori play coldly, but her mood was extremely complicated.
This man is really hard to see.
"Sister. ”
At this time.
Evelyn turned her head suddenly.
Then I saw a half-orc child with big round eyes tugging at his sleeve.
It's her?
Evelyn naturally recognized the child.
Because she was the same child who had shown hostility to herself before!
What does she want to do?
