Chapter 24: The Wind Rises

As the night fell, a full moon slowly rose from behind the Holy Capital, and when the silvery white light sprinkled over the city, everything seemed to be extraordinarily silent......

Of course, it's just a seem!

Everyone who has not yet fallen asleep knows that the silence is only a façade to cover up what lies behind the darkness, for they are in the darkness right now!

The old elf lit the magic lamp in the room as if it had not been used for many years, and stared at the departing elf girl outside the door with a twinkle in his eyes, and if anyone was by his side at this time, he would find that his hand holding the lampstand was trembling slightly with excitement.

And in the darkness of an unknown distance from him, a pair of flickering eyes could also be faintly seen, but a trace of blood revealed in those eyes seemed to prove that it was not a weak creature like a human or an elf who was staying here......

The girl named Alice seems to have completed her mission or task, so at this time, you can see that she is breathing a sigh of relief, and then a faint smile is on her face.

"Let's go back. Carefully holding what she had just gotten in her hand, the girl said to the guards who had been waiting there for a long time.

The trained guards obviously didn't care about what the girl had just done, and when they heard the girl's order, they immediately dispersed and surrounded the girl in the safest position.

Under the cover of darkness, Alice and her party left quickly, almost to another place where the carrier pigeon had just taken off not long ago, and at this time it had only left Dilandil, and the black shadow hiding outside Yi Fan's room was only under Yi Fan's attention at this time, and set off towards another place in the holy capital......

This is a seemingly ordinary inn in the Holy Capital, just like its ordinary appearance, when the night comes, there are only a few lights inside, and it seems that not many people live there.

Of course, this is also just a seeming - if anyone notices that there are guards guarding the only lights that are on, they will not think that this is just an ordinary inn.

A man in full armor was standing in the doorway of a seemingly ordinary room, but neither his expression nor his movements looked like a guard, but more like a knight with an honorable status.

And such a knight, after seeing a figure in the distance that quietly flashed into the courtyard where the room was, immediately approached the door with a respectful face.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Ivan is back. ”

The owner of the room seemed to be waiting for news from this side, so as soon as the knight's words fell, with a clang, the rooms that had been closed opened instantly, and then a girl with beautiful blond hair seemed to be unable to care that it was late at night, and hurried out of the room.

"How about it, can you confirm it?"

If Yi Fan was here, he would naturally be able to recognize that the girl who spoke was the human princess who had a relationship during the day - Caroline!

"Well, the oracle in Miss Oselli's mouth does live in the place where the elves use to receive distinguished guests, but ......" The figure who had just rushed back, after hearing Caroline's inquiry, immediately quickened his pace and ran to the latter.

"But what?" Caroline's hands clenched as she spoke, and it was clear that the man's next answer was crucial.

"It looks ordinary, not only does it not look like an oracle, but even the terrifying magic that Miss Osily said before is not at all like what he can use. There seemed to be a considerable degree of doubt about Yi Fan's strength, and the man named Ivan did not hide the doubts on his face while speaking.

Whew~ It seemed that a slight exhalation could be heard, and the nervous expression on the girl's face suddenly became relaxed - not practicing black magic or anything, in every sense, this divine envoy may be able to be trusted, after all, using black magic and studying black magic all the time are fundamentally different.

"Your name is Ivan, isn't it? The worry did not appear, and the girl did seem to be a lot more relaxed, so after her mood calmed down, she said to the man who was still half-kneeling in front of her.

"Yes!" seemed a special blessing for a character like Ivan to be remembered by the princess, who replied almost in the loudest voice allowed in the night.

However, this situation seemed to have been accustomed to the knight at the beginning, so after seeing Ivan leave, he walked up to Caroline with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"No problem, the oracle can believe it, if it's him!" But Caroline seemed to have guessed what he was trying to say, so she didn't wait for him to speak, and turned and walked into the room, without looking back.

But even if the performance is so categorical, all this still seems to be just a disguise, the girl who walked into the room, the moment the door just closed, the whole person seemed to lose strength and collapsed on the ground!

Believe it or not, now we can only pin our hopes on him!

These were the words that Caroline had just not spoken, and it was also the fate she had to bear as a princess of a country before she was a girl......

A person who is born into a poor family may have the responsibility of changing the status quo of the family from birth, but a person born into the royal family of this country has the mission of making all the poor change their families from the moment of birth - of course, this is only for those who are reliable.

Emilia naturally wants to be a qualified king, after all, she thinks that she is still reliable in the hundreds of years she has been a king.

But what she wants to do is not only to make all the poor elves live well, as the only female elf king for thousands of years, her 'ambition' is even more than she might have imagined as an elf - to restore the elves thousands of years of glory, she wants to become the second Thrandia!

But the news of the demon's re-invasion of the continent was so sudden that she hadn't even become as powerful as Thrandia, and the smell of the imminent war with Hell had already reached her dorm in Dilandil - the only thing she had hoped for was that they had an oracle on their side that hadn't been seen in the previous war.

"Rogge, has the oracle arrived in the Holy Capital?" Emilia, who was gradually recovering from her contemplation, asked a man standing behind her.

And right in front of her, a gray-haired elf, dressed in tattered armor, was half-kneeling on the ground with a messy face.

He held a deformed staff in his hand, and inside the tattered armor, there were many scars on his body, which seemed to have lost its vitality, burns and frostbitten from magic, scratches and blunt blows from weapons, but surprisingly, there was no blood flowing from those wounds, but some yellow-green flames flickered there.

"Yes, according to Alice's letter, the Divine Envoy must have arrived in Dilandil yesterday. The elf, named Rog, glanced sympathetically at the wounded spirit kneeling on the ground, and replied respectfully to Emilia.

"What about the Divine Envoy...... the long sword inlaid with blue gems in his hand had already been placed on the neck of the wounded spirit when he spoke, but Amilia's expression did not seem to change in the slightest.

Alice's letter also mentions that Princess Caroline of the Vincent Empire seems to have reached the Holy Capital now. As if remembering something, or simply trying to divert Emilia's attention, Rogge stepped forward and continued, "Not only that, but according to Sora's news, there seem to be quite a few unidentified people in the Holy Capital recently. ”

"I guess I smell something, after all, none of those old guys who have lived for hundreds of years are vegetarians. ”

Hearing Rogge's answer, Emilia subconsciously looked in the direction where Dirandel was, as if she was thinking about something.

It was only after a half-ring that she looked back at Rogge.

"Do you think I've gone too far this time?"

As she spoke, Emilia pointed to the back of the wounded spirit, where there was a raging fire, and of course, in the midst of that fire, there were countless screams and wails - all the elves who had surrendered to the Trident tribe.

"For the sake of the long-term interests of the clan, the king sometimes had to do some cruel things......"

The corners of Rog's eyes twitched slightly, obviously the situation in front of him made him a little unbearable, but perhaps he knew the reason why Emilia did this, so what he said was obviously well thought out.

"Isn't it excessive but cruel?" Emilia smiled bitterly on her face, but then her tone became firm and unhesitating, "Then Rogge, what do you think should be done about Guy?"

Guy in Amilia's words was obviously the old elf who was kneeling in front of her at this time, because the latter immediately began to struggle violently when he heard her words—his legs had already lost sensation, so it seemed that he was only trying to knock his neck into the sword in Emilia's hand.

However, Emilia immediately withdrew her sword, and she was obviously unwilling to give her opponent the right to choose her own death, having completely destroyed her opponent's body.

"Although he is the ultimate culprit in this unrest, to be honest, I think it is more useful to keep him than to kill him. Without waiting for Rog to answer her question, Emilia continued, apparently the girl had a full plan in mind.

"Stay?" Witnessing the girl slaughter the rebels, Rogge was clearly puzzled by what the girl might do now.

"Because if it were him, maybe he would know something higher, although he can't ask anything from his mouth now, but if there is someone who is good at dark arts......" As the king, Emilia has obviously known some rumors about the oracle through her own information channels.

"Dark magic!" Rogge's face was full of surprise as soon as he heard the words from the girl's mouth, but soon he calmed down again, and replied respectfully, "If this is the king's own will, then there is no problem in staying." ”

Yes, if it is the king's own will, if it has nothing to do with the so-called prophecy, then there is no problem!
