Chapter 241: Portman's Plan
But An Wenxuan didn't feel any surprise, the smile on his face became thicker, and he said softly: "It turns out that this is Mr. Clint's answer? But His Majesty Portman should be coming soon, so let's wait with our hearts!" After that, the expression on his face returned to calm, as if he hadn't heard what Lao Long had just said.

The elders looked at each other, looked at An Wenxuan who was looking at the top of the cave with a calm and indifferent face, and then looked at the old dragon who also looked like he was standing quietly as usual, and no one knew for a while whether they should stand up and mediate.
But did the two have a conflict? At least An Wenxuan's attitude and answer did not show any anger, and even if the two had a conflict, could they mediate this conflict? Or in other words, are they qualified to be the mediators?
The only one in the elven clan who can reconcile the relationship between these two is Queen Portman, who is still rushing at the moment, and the other people are still a lot worse in terms of identity, so this awkward silence can only continue.
An Wenxuan's eyes looked at the sky in the distance, but he secretly chuckled in his heart: This old dragon, has he already sensed that something is wrong? However, what's the point of stopping it now? Perhaps, he still wants to make the last effort. It's a pity, after all, Lao Long is not a professional who uses his brains, and he is too far behind An Wenxuan, who studied thirty-six strategies in his previous life. An Wenxuan had already done his tricks when he entered the cave before. Now the old dragon doesn't want to play? That's absolutely impossible.
What wastes time and energy, An Wenxuan rarely does. This time I have been in Titian City for so long, and before the final drama is sung, it is impossible to let the old dragon stir up.
Now, the protagonist of the big drama is still on the way to the ground, and Lao Long's interruption is just right, otherwise let these elders know the situation first, and no one may react later. Of course. It is more likely that Lao Long understood An Wenxuan's intentions.
Queen Portman came quickly, and the eight Great Elders were all magicians, so they used simple low-level spells like flying arts. Not only was the sustained ability extended, but even the speed was doubled, and nine clusters of brilliant green light flew from the distant sky, like meteors, cutting through the extremely long distance in an instant.
When he arrived at the underground cave, the entrance to the cave that had already been blasted out by the elders did not need any prompting, and the direction was pointed out, and a group of mermaids rushed in.
Portman's speed did not decrease, and he rushed towards the tunnel quickly, and the great elders behind him had the intention to stop it, but Portman's speed was too fast, and before they could give a warning, Portman's figure wrapped in the brilliance of the green earth's fighting spirit disappeared at the end of the tunnel, leaving only a terrible whine, which was the sound of Portman's protective body's fighting spirit cutting through the air.
The Great Elders reluctantly sped up, in fact, Portman's own strength had surpassed theirs, and she was also the only Demon Martial Dual Cultivator among the Nine, even if she was attacked, she was the one who could resist the most.
However, Portman, as the Elven Queen, these Great Elders naturally couldn't let their Majesty take such a risk, so they could only desperately speed up, and at the same time secretly prayed in their hearts that their Majesty the Queen would not encounter a sneak attack, which of course was impossible.
The demonic elves that fell to the side along the way relieved the hearts of the eight great elders, but they immediately became nervous again. Such a number of demonized spirits is not what they had guessed when they first saw the demonized elves on the side of the road!
It's very likely that there will be more demonic elves in it, and this may be a large gathering place of demonized elves, but ...... Even the damned dark elves of the fallen darkness have been imprisoned in the depths of the elven temple in Titian, so how can there be any fish that slip through the net?
As they advanced, the eight Great Elders' hearts were even more suspicious, until they rushed into the huge cave where An Wenxuan and his party were at the end, and the situation in their eyes made them all cry out softly!
They thought that there might be a lot of demonized elves, but they couldn't imagine that thousands of demonized elves collapsed on the ground anyway, and the hundreds they expected were too far apart. But when they saw a group of people standing beside An Wenxuan, the surprise and doubt in their hearts immediately reached their peak.
Aren't those thirty-odd elves the same elders who should be stationed in Titian......'s city? Coming faster than they did?!The other familiar figure...... Is it Lord Clint the Guardian?
These questions could only be put to the bottom of their hearts for the time being, because they had already heard His Majesty Portman talking to Old Dragon Clint.
When Portman, who rushed in first, he saw An Wenxuan standing in the middle of the field with an elf in his hand, but Portman's face still maintained a calm and normal expression, because the old dragon Clint was also there. Her heart was extremely heavy, and when she saw Lao Long and An Wenxuan standing in the middle of the field, she suddenly began to panic, could it be ...... Did Clint betray her too?!
Could it be that Clint, who has doted on her since she was a child and is obedient, also stood on the side of the Temple of Light this time?
"Clint, what's going on?" Although he already had this terrible thought in his heart, Portman, who had subconsciously regarded Clint as his father, finally couldn't help but ask the old dragon.
The old dragon was silent, looked at An Wenxuan, and said in a deep voice after a while: "Natalie, I don't know anything, it was His Excellency An Wenxuan who brought me here." ”
Portman's body shuddered: "It's okay, Clint shouldn't know anything......! Queen Portman set her sights on An Wenxuan. This damn An Wenxuan must know something! She was extremely sure of this, although she couldn't figure out how this guy knew about the existence of this place, but she was inexplicably sure in her heart that An Wenxuan definitely knew the situation here, but she couldn't judge how much she knew.
Portman struggled to keep his composure and asked, "Then, Your Excellency An Wenxuan, should I ask you this question?"
An Wenxuan chuckled: "I'm sorry, it's just that when I was treating those demonized elves, a few elves mentioned this place." ”
Portman's head was dizzy, and he seemed to feel as if countless golden stars appeared in front of him. This is definitely a lie, and it is a **** naked lie. If anyone really knows about this place, how could it be so coincidental that it happened to appear in the last batch? What's even more odious is that this damn An Wenxuan actually looks like "I'm telling the truth".
Portman's eyes couldn't help but burn with anger, and he could no longer maintain his apparent calm, and turned his head and shouted, "So...... What about you, your honorable elders, you disappeared from the city without saying a word, also because of Your Excellency An Wenxuan?"
The elders had seen Her Majesty the Queen, and thought that they could finally be freed from the silence that had made them extremely embarrassed, and the mood that had only become a little happier immediately disappeared, and was replaced by an even greater embarrassment, and several of the thin-skinned elders immediately blushed, which was ashamed!
Although it is a great merit to crack an unimaginably large demonized elf station, and it is also a great benefit to the elves and the safety of Titian City, they have always followed the rules, and they did slip out of Titian City without saying a word, and the elders couldn't even say a word to refute Portman's rebuke.
An Wenxuan smiled: These elders are simply too simple, they don't even have the pride and complacency of the merits they have just made, but they are disturbed by Portman's accusations that they have left their posts without permission, but they have forgotten, and they are still standing on the side when they left Titian City.
Could it be that there really be creatures that can be so simple? Even if they don't shirk their responsibilities, then the simplest of truths should be the same! Do they think this is betraying themselves?
An Wenxuan, who couldn't cry or laugh, finally spoke up on his own, interrupting Portman's reprimand: "I'm sorry, I asked them to come out, Your Majesty Portman!"
As soon as these words came out, Portman's burning eyes immediately moved back to him, and the elders looked ashamed, even if An Wenxuan himself said it, but His Excellency An Wenxuan should have interjected in order to relieve his group of people, and took the responsibility over! He is really an upright and selfless human being!
Taking a deep breath hard, Portman finally calmed his voice and asked, "Then Your Excellency An Wenxuan, can you give me an explanation?" I don't quite understand what could make this group of elders who should stay in the city all leave, and there is not even a word of notification!"
Her voice was calm, but the anger between her words could be heard even by the less sensitive elders. An Wenxuan chuckled: "There's no way, it's just to prevent someone from getting the news and send a message to these demonized elves." ”
Portman's heart jumped, and he couldn't help but whisper, "This can't be! There are no such traitors in our elven race, don't use the same set of ideas of you humans on my people." ”
An Wenxuan's eyes flashed, and he said unhurriedly: "I believe that the character of the elves is one of the purest and most reliable races in the Continent of the Gods, however, when it comes to demonizing elves, it is not too much to do some secret measures!"
"Why didn't you inform me, are you afraid that I won't be able to keep a secret?" Portman said coldly, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.
An Wenxuan shook his head: "Your Majesty is trustworthy, but that day, Your Majesty's former deputy captain of the guard, Kira, entered the palace at night and tried to attack me, although it was unsuccessful, but in this regard, the palace may not be able to guarantee absolute secrets!"
Portman's sneer became even heavier, and he said, "An Wenxuan, maybe you forgot." Kira's strength has reached the point of innateness, and she is very familiar with the situation in the palace in the past, it is an easy thing for her to enter the palace at night without alarming the others, but now that she has been detained in the temple, do you still doubt that she will appear to attack you again?"
An Wenxuan waved his hand. interrupted Portman's words: "Your Majesty may not know, but there is still something strange about Kira's entry into the palace at night that day, this is ...... I have to be very skeptical about the extent of secrecy in the palace. ”
Portman's face froze, and to the elders next to him seemed to be a precursor to Her Majesty's anger. Seeing Portman silent, a thick smile appeared in An Wenxuan's eyes: "On that day, he led me into the palace by an elven mage, I wonder if Your Majesty knows about this?"
Portman hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes, I sent someone to investigate afterwards." It was an elven mage named Mancinir who falsely told me the will, but at that time the elven mage had disappeared and had not been found. ”
Portman's reply made An Wenxuan laugh: "That's right. ”
All the elders were stunned, and even the eight great elders were taken aback: Is this right? This An Wenxuan is not talking back, right? Only the old dragon Clint had a thoughtful look in his eyes, but he did not speak.
An Wenxuan directly ignored the elders and continued, "If it is this elven mage who has falsely passed on His Majesty's will. Then I suspect that there are people in the palace who report to the demonic elves, and it is not nonsense. Because, this elven mage is not a demonized elf, maybe any of the elders present who knows this elven mage can also testify to this. ”
The elders looked at each other, but none of them stood up to speak. However, if they didn't open their mouths at this moment, they acquiesced in An Wenxuan's words. For the sake of Queen Portman's face, they couldn't come out and say anything at this embarrassing moment. Several elders even muttered in their hearts: I thought that His Majesty was coming, and the silence between His Excellency An Wenxuan and Lord Clint would be resolved, who knows, now it will be the confrontation between Her Majesty the Queen and An Wenxuan.
They were even more embarrassed when they were left in the middle, they knew that this was the case, why should they be happy! An Wenxuan saw that none of the elders spoke, nor did he ask, but continued with a smile: "An elf who has not been demonized will actually falsely convey His Majesty's will, so let me speculate. ”
Portman's face sank and he didn't say anything.
"Since they are not demonized, then there is no problem of delirium, and I think the elves are kind and simple, like the kind of people who eat inside and out, and are traitors. In this way, there is only one possibility: the man named Mancinir has been deceived, and the person who deceived him must be someone who can make him believe, for example...... An order from Grand Elder Linda!"
When the elders heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief: If the matter is really as An Wenxuan speculated, this matter will be reasonable.
The matter of Grand Elder Linda's demonization, it was only when the elders saw that she was captured and she confirmed it, as for the time when Kira entered the palace at night, Linda was still one of the Great Elders, for these elders, Linda's words were also unconditionally convinced and obedient, and it was even more impossible to suspect that Linda, who was the Great Elder, would falsely convey Queen Portman's will, even if this will was only through sound transmission magic, or even just the words of several elders under Linda, that could make this elven mage believe.
And Kira is Linda's daughter, so she happened to appear in the palace to attack An Wenxuan, which was naturally a conspiracy between Linda and Kira. In this way, everything makes sense.
When Portman heard An Wenxuan's words, he felt extremely depressed and bitter in his heart, things were not what he said at all, but he couldn't refute his lies at all, because An Wenxuan's reasoning was seamless. At least, in this case, the lie is seamless.
Even Portman himself couldn't accuse An Wenxuan of lying, because if it was proved that An Wenxuan lied, then she needed to find another main messenger, and she didn't have this candidate in her heart.
Moreover, she had no way to prove that An Wenxuan was lying, so she could only suppress the bitterness and irritability in her heart, and forced a smile to herself: "Your Excellency An Wenxuan, you are really smart and can help us find the loopholes in the palace, I am grateful." ”
An Wenxuan bowed: "It's nothing, it's just a gesture, Your Majesty doesn't need to thank me." ”
Portman smiled too, and the smile was helpless and ...... Suffering. At this point, Portman's accusations just now have all been invalidated, and he has to accept An Wenxuan's favor, and under the watchful eyes of the elders, Portman can't even laugh.
Benefactor! This damn guy has already put on the aura of the great benefactor of the elf clan, even if Portman is the queen, it can't change this fact, it is not a problem for her to accept it or not, the problem is that all the elders, even the eight great elders are obviously on his side, unless Portman can ruthlessly solve all the elders and the great elders, then An Wenxuan's aura of the great benefactor of the elf clan will inevitably fade for a long time.
A anxious Great Elder felt that the matter had cleared up, and it seemed that it was time to put the elves lying on the ground on the agenda as to deal with them, so he hesitated for a moment and spoke: "Your Majesty, should we immediately gather people to transport these demonized clansmen back?"
Portman nodded, but invited the eight Great Elders, Lao Long, and An Wenxuan aside, and began to drag out their plans and plates, and An Wenxuan and Lao Long in the field did not feel life surprises, and the eight Great Elders also approved of Queen Portman's plan after a fierce quarrel. Then the Elven Empire broke the news that nearly 5,000 demonized elves had rebelled out of the Misty (Elven) Forest and entered the Free City.
