Chapter 679: The Outsider
The trunk of the Ancient Tree of Life is imprinted with countless dense fine lines, each of which is only the size of a thumb, and even the magic fluctuations emitted by each line are completely different, and there is even a trace of soul breath on those small lines.
This trace of soul breath, along with a trace of magic power, was bound in the small imprint.
This is the life pattern of the dark elves, every dark elf will come here after having the first magic pattern, and carve their own life pattern on the ancient tree of life, each life pattern is exclusive to a dark elf, there is no magic power sealed in it, and there is a trace of soul breath.
The Ancient Tree of Life will protect these life lines, and as long as the Ancient Living Tree does not die, then these life lines will be destroyed.
The only condition for the disappearance of these life patterns is that the owner of the life pattern has fallen, and after the life falls, the soul breath and magic power sealed in the life pattern will lose their root in the underworld, and that trace of soul breath and a trace of magic power will also dissipate.
When a dark elf falls, a life pattern will disappear from the branch of the ancient tree of life, and at this moment, on the branch of the ancient tree of life, there is a large area without a life pattern, which means that at least hundreds of dark elves have fallen......
The old man standing in front of the Ancient Tree of Life frowned, and commanded in a low voice: "Order, go down, convene a council of elders." ”
Half an hour later, in a huge treehouse, a group of solemn-faced dark elves sat down around a large round table.
The top seat is empty, here is the place that belongs to the Great Elder, and the left one. At the front sat the old dark elf with a white beard, who was the second elder of the dark elf tribe.
After that came the four elders, Elsa, and several deacons of the elven tribe.
Sit at the front on the right. It was Jells's father, the Third Elder Brewster. Behind were the five elders and a group of dark elf deacons.
At the Council of Elders meeting, except for the Great Elder, who had not woken up in the lightless dream, everyone else had already arrived.
After the people arrived, the second elder took the lead in speaking with a worried face.
"I believe everyone already knows the reason for this meeting of elders, a group of mage legions who went out hunting have all fallen, six hundred and sixty-three people, and all their life patterns have disappeared, or rather. The hunting legion all disappeared without a sound, and not even a single message came back. ”
"The Dark Elves have never been afraid to die in battle, and falling in battle is the highest honor of the Dark Elves, but this time, the six hundred and sixty-three people, including the Nighthawk Beast they carried, did not send back a single bit of news. It's like disappearing silently, so tell me what you think. ”
In the absence of the Great Elder, the Second Elder could only talk about this matter.
The fourth elder sitting below the second elder was a middle-aged female elf, at this moment. The fourth elder's face was like frost, and his face was cold: "For so long, the number of times this has occurred can be counted on my fingers. I'm sure everyone understands why, the first few times. Every time it was the other two races, this time. Absolutely!"
"Only those two races will know us so well, and even the hunting legion can't even get out a little bit of information, the methods we commonly use, they all understand, if they start to fight any bad ideas again, sneak attack the hunting legion, there is absolutely a great certainty that they can do this, if I want to see, it is definitely the evil guys of the ash orcs who did it. ”
Elsa, who was sitting next to the four elders, echoed with a calm face: "That's right, over the years, our relationship with the Ash Orcs has become more and more stiff, this time hundreds of clansmen disappeared silently, they must have done it, we had better send someone to investigate the tribe of the Ash Orcs, there must be some clues that can be found." ”
The second elder nodded, and said with a little sadness: "If it was really done by the Ash Orcs, then it would be a big deal, the strength of their tribe was already stronger than our Dark Elf tribe, and now if they act on us so boldly, I am afraid that they will be able to hit us hard......"
The Third Elder, who was sitting opposite the Second Elder, had a solemn expression and raised an objection: "I don't think so, if we provoke the Ash Orcs under uncertain circumstances, those guys with the blood of the Abyss Demon in their bodies will definitely use this as an excuse to make trouble, on the contrary, I think there is a big conspiracy in this." ”
"The tribe has been calm for so long, why is there a sudden problem now? Even those ash orcs, why didn't they make a move before? This time they were so ruthless when they made a move? This must be a premeditated sneak attack!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, our tribe has been calm for so many years, why is it suddenly not calm now? What has happened recently that is not peaceful? Or rather, what has changed in the tribe, this must be an omen!"
The three elders had a deep face, while the others, hearing this, also showed expressions of approval, and they were all pondering what had happened in the tribe recently.
"The only thing that has changed is a few outsiders. ”
The Fifth Elder, who was sitting next to the Third Elder, had a gloomy face and said with a sneer.
As soon as this sentence came out, the third elder's face turned pale: "Hmph! It turned out to be these outsiders, no wonder, I had already seen that these outsiders had bad intentions, a few days ago I noticed that someone was disturbing the peace of the tribe, and when I went to check, I found that it was these outsiders who actually cast spells in the tribe and injured the people in the tribe......
The fifth elder had a gloomy face and answered with a look of astonishment: "What! How dare you cast a spell in the tribe and injure the people in the tribe? It's so lawless, why haven't you arrested these outsiders yet? As soon as they came, this kind of thing appeared in the tribe, and they dared to beat people, these outsiders who don't know the details must have a conspiracy!"
When the two elders spoke, coupled with the guidance of the three elders before, the deacons below were immediately furious, and one by one began to question why these outsiders had not been arrested.
"Grab it!"
"There must be a big conspiracy on the part of these outsiders!"
"Damn it, it must have made them, what happened in the tribe lately has something to do with them!"
The huge conference hall became chaotic in an instant.
Elsa panicked suddenly, not understanding how the discussion was so good was brought to Merlin.
Damn, what's going on with these people, what's going on with Merlin? Don't these people know how terrible Merlin is, oh my God, do they want to bury the whole tribe?
No, I'm going to stop them!
"Third Elder, I have already explained before, it was your son Jers who made the first move, Merlin was just protecting himself, how could it be regarded as disturbing the peace of the tribe?"
Elsa stood up anxiously and questioned the three elders.
The third chief boss grimaced, and nodded unhurriedly: "I said it, it was his business that Gilles's skills were not as good as others, but I saw with my own eyes that the outsider knocked Jacks to the ground, and he also wanted to kill him, this is Yan Zòng's violation of tribal regulations, I believe Her Highness Elsa knows it very well." ”
Before Elsa could speak, the words of the three elders suddenly changed: "But since it is Her Highness Elsa who testifies, then this matter must continue to be investigated, so let's put it down for the time being." There's something else I'd like to ask Her Highness Elsa. ”
Elsa was slightly stunned, and didn't react at all, when did the third elder speak so well?
Fortunately, since Merlin is not involved, it seems that the third elder has understood that he can't be an enemy of Merlin, and he still puts the interests of the tribe first in his heart......
Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, and the third elder continued to ask with a straight face.
"Her Highness Elsa, I know that when I go out hunting, the danger will be greater, but this time Her Highness Elsa brought out thousands of people, why did she only come back less than ten? And it happened to bring back these outsiders, I have already asked those loyal dark elves, the important reason for such a big loss is those outsiders, I hope Her Highness Elsa can give you a reasonable explanation. ”
Elsa's face flashed with a hint of annoyance, and before she could speak, the four elders grabbed Elsa, and said with a cold face: "The story of this matter has been reported to the Council of Elders, I believe everyone knows that this hunt, not only met Orachis, but also strayed into the Dark Night Canyon, and even met Duncan, the genius of the ash orc thousands of years ago, everyone here, who is sure to come back alive in this situation?"
Elsa hurriedly added: "That's right, and we can come back alive because of Merlin's help, if it weren't for Merlin's help, none of us would have been able to come back alive!"
The fifth elder said with a gloomy face: "This is all your words, who knows if this matter is true or false?"
The third elder boss glanced at the fifth elder with a face, and reprimanded him lightly: "How can you suspect Her Highness Elsa! Her Highness Elsa will definitely not lie in this matter!"
Then the three of them looked around and looked at Elsa: "Your Highness Elsa, I want to ask you some questions, I hope you can answer truthfully." ”
"Your Highness Elsa, did you get inexplicably attacked by Oraches after you met those outsiders?"
Elsa hesitated, looked around, and couldn't help but nod.
"So, Your Highness Elsa, did those outsiders bring you to the Canyon of the Night?"
Elsa reacted immediately and quickly explained: "That's the case, but it's ......"
The third elder waved his hand, interrupting Elsa's words, with a cold face: "And after these outsiders came to the tribe, some things happened in the tribe one after another, first there was a conflict with the people in the tribe, and within a few days of coming, hundreds of elites of the tribe disappeared inexplicably, and all of them were connected with these outsiders!"
