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 creatures in the Yala 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-ranking 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, and finally led to the destruction of 500,000 human alliances, and all the military and administrative personnel of the seventy-three towns along the way died. This war not only brought a heavy blow to the over-confident human beings, but also made all races see the madness of the elves, and since then for more than 1,200 years, no one dares to provoke these darlings of the forest, and these forest madmen, after the war, completely ignore the land they occupied, and go straight back to the forest, and live their original leisurely and comfortable life again.
It's been a long time. Hatred has long been forgotten with 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 this question, the other five members of the party, except for Eva, almost simultaneously thought of the image of the other side of the elves, and then connected what had happened before, 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. The soft-voiced Flarenchen made a sound like a collision of weapons: "Intelligent beings always have to pay some price if they want to grow, and sometimes the price is their own lives, we all understand this, so even if there are elves who die in the world outside the forest for various reasons every year, we will not do anything, it is their own choice to leave the forest and venture to the outside world, then they need to bear this price, the royal court and the various forest churches will regard their deaths as normal deaths." But this thing is different. This matter has touched our bottom line, and 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." You're really resilient. 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 remained 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 smart that he doesn't dare to do it himself until now." ”
"If he kills you with his own hands. After that, the Elven Court will be able to see each other through your companion tree. Pannis was very familiar with the elves, and was very aware of some of the secret methods unique to the elves, and nodded: "Those members of the Sands of Time, especially their leaders, rely on the mystery of their identities, if this layer of concealment is revealed, I am afraid they will not pose a threat, 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's 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 finding out that I was closely following behind them, he directly stopped his activities, so that the clues in my hands are all 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 His Majesty that you have gone to the Ice Field, with the current physical condition of Master Fira, it would be strange if you didn't stop by when you returned, waiting for you here is definitely faster than waiting for 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...... )
