Chapter Seventy-One: Ineffective Bait
Moore's question is very interesting, if you don't know it, it doesn't sound like it makes any sense, because in the other intelligent races of the Yarra world, the image of the elves has almost a fixed form, elegant, beautiful, gentle, kind, and nature-loving, and if you apply each of these words to the elves, the other races will not have too many objections. But those who are familiar with the elves will know that these elegant and beautiful elves have their own madness engraved in the depths of their souls. Under normal circumstances, they are indeed gentle and kind, but once they go crazy, these vengeful elves will do a lot of reckless and costless behavior, which is unimaginable for other races, at least humans.
The most typical example is the war against the slave trade more than 1,200 years ago, the elves can use all their combat power because a young and weak ordinary clan was sold, and 100,000 golden forest guards swept through half of the human world, and would rather lose a lot of valuable combat power or even send the enemy to hell rather than the entire clan. At that time, most of the high-level human countries had a tacit attitude towards the limited slave trade, and the other races' response was only a small-scale border war, so they never imagined that these gentle pacifists would not even be tempted, and directly set off a war involving the entire two races, which eventually led to the annihilation of 500,000 human alliances, and the death of all military and administrative personnel in 73 towns and cities along the way. This war not only brought a heavy blow to the over-confident human race, but also made all races see the madness of the elves, since then for more than 1,200 years, no one dared to easily provoke these darlings of the forest, and these forest madmen, after the war, completely ignored the land they occupied, and went straight back to the forest, and lived their original leisurely and comfortable life again.
It's been a long time, and the hatred has long since faded over time, and even the madness of the elves is no longer known to most people. But those who really know the elves will never forget the madness in their souls. Because of this, when Moore asked the question, the party had five other people except Eva. Almost at the same time, I thought of the image of the other side of the elves, and then connected the previous events, and the answer was obvious. Catherine asked with a strange expression, "Mr. Moore, did you not return to the Lost Forest, or because your people were killed by the enemies of the Sands of Time?" ”
"That's right. Moore gracefully plucked the strings, but the soft-sounded Flarenchen made a sound like a clash of weapons: "Sapient beings want to grow." There is always some price to pay, sometimes the price is their own life, we all understand, so even if there are elves who die in the world outside the forest for various reasons every year, we will not do anything, leaving the forest to venture outside is their own choice, then they need to bear this price, the royal court and the various forest churches will treat their death as a normal death. But this matter is different, this matter has touched our bottom line, if we don't find it out. Every elf won't be reconciled. ”
"So you've been pursuing this since we parted in the City of Innocence?" asked Pannis, "It's been a year, and you're really persevering." But aren't you worried at all? Although you are the strongest under the demigod, the leader of the other party is a demigod, and if he takes matters into his own hands against you, you will not have a chance. ”
"I'm ready to die for this. Moore's smile was still gentle, but the words he said did not match his smile at all: "It's a pity that the leader of the other party is so clever that he doesn't dare to do it himself." ”
"If he kills you himself, the Elven Court will be able to see each other through your companion tree after that. "Pannis is very familiar with elves. Knowing very well some of the secret methods unique to the elves, he nodded and said, "Those members of the Sands of Time, especially their leaders, rely on the mystery of their identities. If this veil is lifted, I am afraid that they will not pose a threat, and it seems that you are hoping that the enemy will take the initiative to attack you. ”
"You know me very well. Moore smiled beautifully, patted Pannis on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your understanding, but unfortunately, I took the initiative to take on the task of this bait." But the enemy refused to take the bait, not only did not take the bait, but after discovering that I was closely following behind them, they directly stopped all activities, so that all the clues in my hands were also broken. ”
"Of course, the other party is not stupid. Pannis said, "If it were me, I would do the same." ”
"So I'm distressed right now. Moore spread his hands, his pointed ears twitching, "I can only wait patiently." ”
"The question is, Mr. Moore, why are you here to follow the clue?" Catherine looked moved, and asked in surprise, "Isn't it here that the last clue disappeared, doesn't that mean that the enemy may be lurking in this city?"
"Not really. Moore shook his head and said, "Although the final clue does point to the Mage Country, it is not the Kamigara Territory, and it is still a short distance from the Third Flame City, so you don't have to worry about this." ”
"Then why are you here?" asked Pannis, "and you look so laid-back." ”
"I'm here to find you. Moore said, "Why do you think I'm waiting here so idle?" ”
"Looking for me, you should go to the Capital of Knowledge, why did you come to Fira's territory to find me. Pannisy scratched his head, suddenly reacted, and said with a straight face: "Am I so good at guessing?"
"Hehe, it's not just guessing, it's intelligence gathering. Moore explained: "Knowing from Your Majesty that you have gone to the Ice Field, with the current physical condition of Master Phila, it would be strange if you didn't stop by when you returned, and it would be quicker to wait for you here than to go to the Capital of Knowledge." With Master Antuin delivering a message to me from the Mage Guild, I don't have to worry that you have returned to the Holy Capital and missed you, so I just need to wait patiently here. When this mechanic lady went to the Mage Guild just now, I happened to see it, and I guess you will go directly to Master Fira, so you came here first. ”
"Well, you've won. Pannis smiled wryly, "What the hell are you trying so hard to find out about us?" ”
"Of course, I want to follow you to meet Master Fira. Moore said, "The only master of time magic, his opinions and guesses are more valuable than anything else, and you won't be prepared to talk to him about it." ”
"Let's come along. Pannis sighed and said, "But you also know Fira's physical condition, don't be too anxious." ”
"I understand. Moore's five fingers ran across all the strings at the same time, making a series of trills: "Thank you." "To be continued.
