Chapter 150: The Old Tree Man
"Hello, Mr. Brooke. Jacqueline cautiously walked over to Brook the Treant and whispered hello.
"Oh, good. "For this human girl who Chu Shou helped him, Brooke is not annoying, and the other party is very polite, if it weren't for the current environment that makes him more vigilant, maybe Brooke will treat Jacqueline warmly.
"Is your daughter alright?" Jacqueline asked the treant with concern.
Jacqueline remembered that Brooke's daughter was not doing well because she was alone, and she was a little worried about her lack of care for her daughter.
"Oh, thank you, she's isolated by the elves, I can't see her, and I don't know what happened to her. Brooke's bitter face became even more bitter.
"I'm sure the elves won't do anything to her for a while. After briefly comforting Brooke, Jacqueline suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Brooke, although your daughter is not in danger for the time being, I am worried that if her illness flares up, the elves may use drastic means against her, so it will be difficult to ensure her safety. ”
Jacqueline's concerns were not unreasonable, the Treants were dangerous when the madness broke out, and at that time, it was difficult to say that the elves would not kill themselves in order to ensure their own safety, and Brooke was just an ordinary Treant, and the elves would not show mercy to his daughter.
"What should I do!" Brooke was so anxious that the branches on his body kept shaking, but because of magic, he didn't have the strength to act on it at this time.
Jacqueline seemed to have made a decision, took a deep breath, and said to Brooke, "Mr. Brooke, maybe we can help you. ”
Yes, Jacqueline made a decision, but instead of doing exactly what Kara said, she tried to see if there was a possibility of a secret passage or something, and then made the next decision.
In fact, the main thing is that Jacqueline thought about it for a while, and felt that they didn't have much to choose from, after all, they didn't do anything, but the forbidden magic collar was lifted, and sooner or later they would be discovered by the elves.
You know, Jacqueline and the others are in prison, and if the elves find out that their forbidden magic collars have been lifted, then this matter can be big or small, and even if it is not good, it will be life-threatening.
If the girls don't lift the forbidden collar, will they be safe and sound? Jacqueline can't give a definite guarantee, in comparison, it is better to lift the forbidden collar, at least they have other options to act, and they don't have to sit still.
Jacqueline decides to start with Brooke, a tree man she knows, and find a breakthrough in the negotiation through the topic of her daughter.
"What!?" Brooke looked at the delicate human girl, not believing that the other party would be able to save his daughter.
"You know, I'm a magician, and just now, while the elves weren't looking, we quietly untied the shackles on our bodies, just waiting for the opportunity to act. Jacqueline bared her white neck and showed it to Brooke, "But we don't know each other well, and there's nothing we can do. ”
"If you can save my daughter, I'll find a way to help you, do anything!" Brooke finally believed Jacqueline, his voice a little too excited to get his voice up.
In despair, he will not let go of even a straw, what Jacqueline is talking about now is Brooke's only hope, even if Jacqueline's words are true, Brooke will choose to believe her.
"Be quiet!" The elf above didn't pay much attention to Brooke's words, but instead shouted to stop Brooke's rudeness.
"Please. When Brooke realized his gaffe, he pleaded with Jacqueline as low as he could.
"It's hard to save your daughter in our current situation. Jacqueline looked at Brooke seriously and said, "The only way now is to find a way to find the princess, I believe that the abnormality of the elves this time must not be her intention, there must be some reason." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, Her Royal Highness the Princess is a noble and kind person, so she will not make such a foolish decision, there must be something wrong with this. Brooklyn claims that Larrell is a highly respected being in the eyes of the Treants.
"But she is now tightly guarded by the elves, we can't break in, do you know any secret passages that the elves don't understand, can you quietly go to the princess?" Jacqueline lowered her voice, and only then did she cautiously state her purpose.
"This ......" Brooke was a little embarrassed, he touched his head, looked around, and whispered, "I don't know, but our old treeman here may know, because he is our oldest treeman, he used to be the guard of the palace, because he was too old to retire, I saw him just now, I guess the elves didn't pay attention, those treemen in charge of guarding are closely guarded, but they missed him." He was held with us. ”
Brooke hadn't actually said that if it weren't for Qiang Kai once boasting to the tree people that he was a palace guard, it is estimated that those tree people would not have remembered this retired employee, after all, the age of the tree man and the elf starts from a hundred years old.
The elves don't like to communicate with the Treants, so they don't have any records of his work before the forced opening, and they think he's an old Treant who is dying, well, yes, dying.
"Can you please take me to him?" Jacqueline asked hopefully.
"No problem, but you have to pay attention to etiquette, that old thing doesn't have a good temper. Brooke quickly agreed to Jacqueline's request, reminding the little human girl.
Jacqueline didn't want to delay too long, the longer it would be for them, the worse it would be for them, she wanted to see it right away, and Brooke agreed.
Led by Brooke, the two, well, a human and a treeman, squeezed through the crowd and finally found the old treeman.
Jacqueline dared to guarantee that anyone who saw Qiang Kai at a glance would immediately recognize him.
Qiang Kai was too old, the bark on his body had fallen a lot, revealing dry wood, covered with moss, and there were not a few leaves on his head, so he sat motionless on the ground, his tall stature, and from a distance it made people think that it was a big tree that was about to die.
"Force, this little human girl wants to see you. Brooke walked to the front of the strong open, then sat down on the ground, and also learned to take the form of a tree.
Brooke tried to keep his voice low, but unfortunately he didn't move, it seemed that the tree man was too old and had some problems with his ears.
Brooke didn't dare to speak too loudly, fearing that the elves would hear or leak the news, and he looked at Jacqueline in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.
"It's rude. Jacqueline walked up and let Brooke touch and force it out.
Brooke shook Qiang Kai gently, and Qiang Kai finally opened his eyes, and he looked at Brooke with those cloudy eyes, and said loudly: "Something is in my ear, I can't hear clearly!"
