Chapter Sixty-Eight: Another Story of the Cave Elves
"Elves? These people are not ghosts and ghosts, and they are called elves?"
"Elves are the most common humanoids, or inhuman creatures of this kind of other world, and like humans, they belong to the higher intelligence of creatures, and generally speaking, elves are more gifted in magic and bows than humans. According to the information I have received, before the current generation of human civilization was established, elves used to establish civilization in this world, but their civilization died out a long, long time ago, and now the number of elves is getting smaller and smaller, and in the area of human activity, elves have not been found for many years. ”
"Then how can you be sure that these weirdos in front of you are elves?"
"Hey, I usually don't like to hear this when I tell you, but now I know it's useful, the elves of each world have two major characteristics, one is pointed ears, the ear chakra is always outward and sharp; ”
"Handsome?" Ao Zongheng glanced at the three elves in front of him, and shook his head slightly to show that he couldn't understand. However, he also admits that in terms of skin and facial features alone, it is much stronger than that side slave.
"Do the elves live underground?" asked Aozhuo again.
"Of course not, there is more than one kind of elf in each world, and like humans, different kinds of elves have very different appearances and habits, this kind of elves, maybe the crypt elves, they have lived in underground caves since the generation of elven civilization. ”
From the moment the action was banned, several elves were whispering in a language that Aoheng had never heard before, but in the face of Wantong's unhindered mantra, there was no language that Arrogant couldn't understand. So what they said, Ao Zongheng heard it clearly-in fact, he didn't say anything, it was basically the same as what humans said when they encountered an ambush, the so-called advanced intelligent creatures, about a lot of things are the same.
"Okay, don't argue, I don't mean to hurt you, I just want to ask a few questions." Arrogant ended his communication with the Ringwraith and began to speak.
How advanced is the wisdom of the elves, seeing a human actually speak elven language, it is too shocking for their cognition, not to mention that this is not the elven language, but the elven language of their race, the difference between the two is like the lingua franca of human beings and the language of minority languages...... Even if it's an elf, it doesn't necessarily understand, let alone speak.
"You, do you speak our language, and what are you?" asked a crypt elf in surprise.
"I have nothing to do with you, I don't know anything about you other than to speak your language. I know you have other people living here, and I can let you choose whether to risk your death or answer me a few questions?"
These people are too weird, although they seem to be able to restrain them, but they don't understand how they can appear out of thin air, if the other party chooses to burn the jade, Ao Zongheng is not worried that he will suffer, but he is not sure that he can pull out the other party's mind.
A few crypt elves were probably afraid that Aozong would hear them, so they made eye contact, and Aozong didn't stop them. It wasn't until the three cave elves seemed to reach a consensus that the cave elf spoke again, "Stranger, what method can you use to prove your trust?"
"Hahaha", arrogant can understand the caution of these bereaved people, living in seclusion underground for hundreds of thousands of years, it is simply too normal to be wary of humans, "It's very simple, you stay, I can release others." With that, regardless of whether the cave elf agreed or not, Arrogant lifted the ban on the other three.
"Very well, I believe in you. The cave elf's brow finally relaxed when he saw his people being cast, "I'll stay to answer his question, you guys go back first." ”
The two cave elves nodded, but they still looked at Ao Yue with wary eyes, and they didn't see any movement, only to see their bodies suddenly become blurred, and the skin that had become pale due to the darkness for a long time quickly turned translucent, and the whole body sank rapidly, sinking into the ground.
Ao Zongheng watched them disappear, his face calm, but his heart was shocked—no wonder Qi couldn't find any trace of them, it turned out that these cave elves actually had the ability to submerge into the rock. He instantly understood how the elusive assassinations had been done—they had been operating in the rocks, showing up to kill people when they had the opportunity, and then disappearing underground.
However, this amazing ability, they actually did not shy away from arrogance, and showed it in person.
"You should know what my name is, so what should I call you. Arrogant asked.
"You can call me Lebana, Offather, what do you want to know?", the crypt elf was watching from the side.
"May I call one of my companions down as a witness so that I don't have to repeat to him the answer you are about to tell me. ”。
Lebanna pondered for a moment and replied, "Thank you for your honesty, Aophar, but I cannot agree to your request, for we cannot trust your companions as much as we believe in you. ”
"It seems that you are afraid that humans will come and disturb your life". He smiled arrogantly, no longer insisting, he could understand the concerns of these remnants, even if Wang Dolan didn't fight these cave elves, what about the Lord of Hiyegarang? What about Mireh as king? Who can guarantee that they won't have any strange thoughts? In Middle-earth, the greatest happiness of those weak tribes is to never be discovered by the powerful tribes, because the weak will probably not be able to withstand the whims of the strong ones for a while.
"Nine days ago, there was a battle in this forest on the ground, did you participate in this battle?" He was worried that Wang Duolan would not be able to bear it and send someone down, which would only make the situation troublesome again.
"Yes, there was a battle up there nine days ago, but we didn't participate, we just watched quietly. ”
"This battle is between humans on one side and who is on the other side—giants, giant wolves, vampires?"
"Giants, giant wolves, I don't think we've seen them in or around this forest for at least two thousand years, and as for the vampires, they passed through the forest a few years ago, but nine days ago, none of them appeared. ”
"Didn't show up, what was the other side of the fight?"
"I don't know what you mean by the other side, the battle that took place in this forest nine days ago was a battle between humans from beginning to end. Lebana's answer completely repudiated the survivors' report, but for some reason, Arrogant felt that he was not surprised by this answer.
"You mean, the battle that took place here nine days ago was an infighting, or was it a gang of humans ambushing another bunch of humans?"
"I'm pretty sure there was an ambush, because the people who ambushed came to the forest twelve days ago and have been staying in the forest ever since. They are also in the forest, and they have set up some of your human circles. ”
"Very well, Lebana, can you tell the story you saw and heard, starting from the day the ambushers came to the forest?"
"Aorva, are you sure you want to believe what the creatures in the underground say? Did someone else use the illusion circle to attack and rob the convoy?" Wang Duolan didn't care about using inspiration to communicate anymore, and asked directly, but they were now some distance away from the main army, and they were not afraid of being heard.
"That's right, I take their word for it, because their story is more plausible than any giant, a wolf. Those creatures haven't appeared on this continent for a long time, and even if they do, they are not all the way to each other, how can they attack the escort convoy together? A giant wolf, would it be interested in Storin?"
"I admit that what you say has a point, but we need evidence instead of plausibility. I'm going down and asking these creatures. "As Du Jue's mage advisor, Wang Dolan is not so easily convinced.
"I advise you not to, these creatures do not want to have more contact with us, they have already provided two clues, one is the location of the circle at that time, and the other is the whereabouts of the convoy, the convoy first went south through the forest, after reaching the avenue, then turned north for a while, and then walked out of the avenue again, and went northeast. ”
Wang Duolan and Punji glanced at each other, still not quite convinced, and asked, "Aofa, do you really think that it was not these creatures underground who robbed the convoy?"
"Fellow practitioner Wang Duolan, if you think that these creatures that live underground need these Storins, then you can go down and ask again. But let me warn you, those creatures below are neither good nor weak, and I can't predict what the result will be if you go down and ask now", seeing that Wang Duolan seemed to be thinking, Ao Yue continued, "If these creatures were to leave here, they would have left a long time ago, since they didn't leave, why don't you go and rule out other possibilities first? ”
"From what I've observed, there was indeed a magic circle here not long ago." Arrogant really didn't expect that Pang Ji, who seemed to participate purely as the representative of the second lord, was a mere blue-sleeved mage, and his specialty was actually the cultivation of the magic circle.
Punki graduated from the Garokonan Private Academy of Law, and his name is private, so he knows that this is one of the very few magic schools that was not founded by the state. Although this academy is not a certificate academy in the kingdom of Miredang, it is quite famous in the magic world, because its founder, Garokonan, is a master of the magic circle who has left a name in the history of the mage world. Therefore, all students of Garokonnan College are required to take the Dharma Circle course. Cultivating magic circles is actually a bit ahead of their time for sleeve mages, because their mana is weak and they can't control any magic circles. But Garokonan College has persisted in this tradition for two or three hundred years, and it has gradually become an advantage for college graduates to find jobs.
Hearing what Pang Ji said, he never believed it, but Wang Duolan, who was forced to come over first to "rule out other possibilities" due to the situation, finally loosened his tight brows. He is a graduate of the Miracle Kingdom Certificate Academy, don't look at him as a leading mage, when it comes to the magic circle, he is really convinced by the sleeve mage from the Jiayuan.
But he still had a question, "Is it an illusion-type magic circle?"
