Chapter 153

An elf in charge of the reception came to inform the three humans that they would attend the Deadwood Council tomorrow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Levi and Carl are called over by Alexia to discuss the matter.

"It's pretty neat. Levi said in a praising tone.

"Didn't you get any new information from your first visit to the Deadwood Council this afternoon?" Karl asked.

At the beginning, Alexia only vaguely said that there was an anomalous spatial phenomenon in the Elven Forest, causing a large area of woodland to wither, and many eyewitnesses reported seeing a phenomenon similar to a spatial rift, but when the Magister or the legendary mage went to investigate, they did not find any anomalies.

If there is anything abnormal, it is that in the withered woodland, the elves (including other forest races) will be suppressed very much, and ten percent of their strength will not be able to exert sixty percent, and the further they go inside, the more serious it is, so the elves do not dare to go deeper.

"Not really. Alexia shook her head.

"I can only feel as if it's serious. "And it seems that the Elven Queen also has something very important to do, and is in retreat, and the Elves and Druids are a little undecided." ”

"Tomorrow we should know. Carl pinched the bridge of his nose, "I'll put together a questionnaire." I'll go first. ”

"Well, you go back. Alexia said.

After Carl left, Lévi looked at Alexia with a blank eye, "What about me, what am I doing?"

"It's okay, you can just follow tomorrow. Alexia said.

Levi's mouth opened wide, his fingers trembling and pointed at Alexia, "Who are you, where did you hide Alexia? ”

Alexia bared her little tiger teeth and grabbed Levi and threw him out.

"Get out!"

The girl's roar rang out along with the sound of Levi hitting the wall.

The next day.

Karl handed Alexia a densely written scroll, and Alexia looked through it to make sure it was correct.

Without the need for someone to lead them, the three of them went directly to the Deadwood Council.

The treeman guard guarding the door looked at Carl twice, then closed his eyes and shrank aside, and after completing this series of movements, his huge body fell into a deep sleep.

Karl looked curiously up and down at this ancient life, which was rare even in the forest.

"Keep up. Alexia had to beckon.

"Ahh Carl came to his senses and followed the two of them.

The twelve seats in the Deadwood Council Hall were almost full, and among the twelve Elders, Karl could barely identify two Night Elves, three Dryads, two Centaurs, a Bearman, and the remaining three Karl couldn't confirm whether they were all Druids - the only vacant Elder seat was a Treeman, and there was only a dead branch on his place, indicating that he had arrived.

They were talking to each other or closing their eyes, and the formal meeting had not yet begun.

Next to the large circular conference table, three chairs were arranged, apparently for Carl and the others.

"Now that everyone is here, the meeting begins. Malfurion glanced at them, knocked on the table, and announced.

The elves stopped talking, the centaurs and bears stopped arguing, and the druids opened their eyes.

"The first topic, on the blight rift, is reported by Samantha. Malfurion tugged at his green beard and looked at a slightly shorter lady in a cloak.

The Fourth Elder, Samantha, the Tree Elf.

"Yesterday Red Eagle and I observed from the sky that the length of the wilted rift had reached twenty kilometers, and it was already approaching the nearest centaur tribe, and I urgently dismissed them before returning. Samantha said.

"How much of the area has been infected into the Black Forest, and are there any casualties?" asked the next centaur elder.

"It's several times larger than the Blight Chasm, and I've found several creatures in it that I've never seen before. Samantha replied, "There have been strange beasts attacking the village, but fortunately the dismissal was timely, and some people were injured, but not dead." ”

The Black Forest refers specifically to the chaotic forests that are not under the influence of the Tree of Eternity and have strong malice towards all creatures of order, not only in the Elven Forest, but also in the Human Empire.

Several elders asked Samantha a number of questions, and the Tree Elf elder answered them one by one.

Carl listened as he exchanged a few views with Alexia.

An hour later.

"There's no solution yet, do you have any plans to stop the expansion of the Blight?" asked Malfurion to the elders.

One of the bear-man elders sniffled, and he could see a mouthful of sharp teeth as he spoke: "My solution is to kill all the beasts inside." ”

A male Tree Elf elder voted in favor: "I agree with Sharp Tooth that a lot of times, the environment and living things coexist, and without one of them, the other will collapse. ”

“...... No way. Malfurion hesitated for a moment and said, "A new Emperor-level Demonic Beast has appeared in the Valley of the Buried Dragon, I need to negotiate with it, the Black Forest east of the Moonlight Glade is expanding every year, and Alamil and Lindsay need to suppress it." Your gold-level strength will be greatly weakened when it enters the withering rift, and if there is damage, I can't afford this responsibility. ”

Because there are otherworldly creatures coming in, it's useless to destroy them just for a while.

Several elders looked at each other and fell silent.

"Old friend, why don't you listen to the advice of a few human friends. Alamil, who was sitting in the second seat, said to Malfurion.

Malfurion nodded reluctantly, then looked at Alexia.

Alexia stood up and said to Malfurion, "Your Excellency the Elder, I have a few questions that I hope you will answer in detail. ”

"Ask, human. ”

"When, where, and who discovered the wilt rift?" Alexia asked the first set of questions. The elves know this problem, so they didn't say it in the previous discussion.

"Five months ago, at the junction of Earth Bear Mountain and Rhino Valley, a clawed druid discovered it. Malfurion replied.

"What is the pattern of the expansion of the wilting rift, is it uniform or explosive?"

"Outbreak. "And there were irregular eruptions, two weeks ago the length of the wilting rift was only eleven kilometers, it had not changed until three days ago, and today it has expanded to twenty kilometers. ”

"What is the state of the infected forests in the wilted fissures, are they distorted by the original plants, or are they alien plants from the heterogeneous plane?"

"The original plant is distorted. Malfurion snorted and said, "If there are plants on an ectopic plane, we can easily find the source by collecting some of them." ”

"What is the approximate level and number of alien beasts that appear in the Blighted Rift and the Black Forest?"

"There is no gold level, most of them are silver and bronze. "But there are a lot of them, and many of them we haven't seen before, and they're a big threat to the nearby villagers." ”

"Thank you. Alexia sat down.

"You guys have no problems?" said Malfurion, frowning.

"Most of the information has already been obtained during the discussion phase of the elders, and it is more accurate to see the rest with your own eyes. Alexia said, "I wish I could have a guide with us." ”

In the forest, with and without elves leading the way, the speed of action is completely different.

Malfurion took a deep breath and looked at the top ten, "Which of you would like to go along?"

Several elders glanced at each other, and they all had hesitant expressions on their faces.

"I don't trust humans. Elder Bearman Sharp Tooth spoke first.

Two hundred years ago, humans did too much damage to the elves, and although many of the new generation have forgotten that history, Sharp Tooth has experienced it personally.

The other elders didn't speak, but the silence meant the same thing as Elder Bearman.

Alamil also reluctantly spread his hands to Alexia and Levi, he was not an ordinary elder, but a sanctuary-level, one of the most important forces of the elves, there were many important things that had to be done by him, and there was no spare time - this had been said in Malfurion's previous speech.

"Samantha. Malfurion, with a pair of antlers, turned to the four elders of the tree elves, "I'll have to trouble you to make another trip." ”

“...... All right. Samantha replied reluctantly.

She also doesn't want to be with humans.

"Then ...... Huh?" Malfurion was about to finish the first topic, but suddenly stopped.

The fluctuations of space spread through the halls of the Deadwood Council, and then a blue circle of light swept from top to bottom three times, and the light exploded in an instant, and the silver-haired elven princess appeared from the magic teleported by the fixed point.

"Let me be my guide, Grand Elder. ”

......

"Let me be my guide, Grand Elder. ”

Xingli said to Malfurion.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess?" Malfurion's eyes widened in disbelief, "you want to be with these humans?"

The other elders also looked incredulous.

The incident 200 years ago, if there is anyone who hurt the most, it is undoubtedly the silver-haired princess in front of her, other people may not know the details, but these elders who are all two hundred years old and above are still very clear.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I have taken over the work of guide. Samantha said forcefully to Xingli, "Don't you believe in my abilities?"

"These things are what we should do, and if Elder Samantha finds it difficult, we will certainly do the same. A red-haired bird of prey druid said. This is Samantha's partner Red Hawk.

"yes, we'll leave that to us. Alamil also advised.

They didn't want Xingli to be in danger, they grew up watching Xingli.

Xingli shook her head and sat down in the fifth, the Elder of the Treants who was not present.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm feeling good right now. Xingli said, "And unlike you, I am not suppressed by the environment there. ”

Xingli pinched the dead branch that the Treant Elder had left here, tilting his head to look at it, "Crofts, you'll support me." ”

The audience fell silent.

Although Elder Crofts is only ranked fifth, his strength is actually the highest and wisest of all the elders, as he has lived the longest, and he is several times older than Malfurion. Ranking fifth is only because of the natural inactive character of the tree people, and the direct contribution is smaller than the previous ones.

After a while, a very old voice came from the withered branches: "I don't support you, Your Highness Princess, but I don't object to it either. ”

Xingli unhappily tugged at the yellow leaves on the dead branches that had not yet fallen off.

"Your Highness the Princess. Malfurion interrupted Starglass with some embarrassment, "Elder Crofts doesn't seem to agree with your plan......"

“...... You misunderstood, Malfurion. Crofts explained what he meant, "Her Royal Highness will decide what she wants to do, and she will be responsible for her actions, whether the outcome is good or bad." Moreover, she must have convinced the goddess of the forest, so, we don't need to say more. ”

Crofts then fell silent again.

The elders showed a thoughtful look, Malfurion had no choice but to nod, but still explained to Xingli: "Your Royal Highness Princess, no matter what, don't rush in without permission, and if you find something, immediately return and tell us, last time you ran to ...... alone"

"Stop!" Xingli quickly interrupted Malfurion, "Uncle Malfurion, I'm so old, don't turn over the events of decades ago every time." ”

In a hurry, even the name changed.

Malfurion shook his head helplessly, then looked at Alexia: "Human, I want you to guarantee the safety of Her Royal Highness. ”

Alexia tilted her head slightly, connected her gaze to Malfurion, and snorted softly, "As long as it's my team, I'll keep her safe." ”

"Then please take care of me~" Xingli also got up and walked over.

"Two, first time we met, I'm Shatasmion, you can call me Xingli. Xingli blinked and looked at Karl, who had buried his face in a book, "Second meeting, Mr. Karl." ”
