Chapter 144: You'll Be a Friend of the Snow Elves
Kalis's face was ugly, and she said: "Through the evidence handed over by Marshal Ice Star before his death, I have confirmed that the king is the mastermind behind the scenes, and I understand his intentions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Marshal Ice Star's evidence is not easy to come by, not because the king was negligent, but when the first attack came, the king didn't have much time to prepare, and Lady Luck stood on Marshal Ice Star's side, allowing him to discover the king's clues.
Caris said: "The king is very ambitious, he also does not agree to disarmament, what he wants is complete centralization, he wants to hold military power in his hands, Grand Sage Kevin and Marshal Ice Star are obstacles in his plan." β
However, political means could not achieve his plan, so he attracted the dragon, borrowed a knife to kill, and used the external crisis to solve the obstacles, Kevin Sage was the first target, but Marshal Ice Star survived the first attack, so the king pretended to be seriously injured and unconscious, and let Ice Star continue to lead the troops and face the danger, as you know, Ice Star died in battle. β
"After the death of Ice Star, he immediately appeared and became the backbone, all the prestige of this battle will be gathered on him, once the battle is over, he can obtain the greatest power of Gaudis, and fight against the Council of Elders. β
Kalis's tone was suddenly a little strange, "The Council of Elders is also an obstacle to him, so I'm pretty sure that the King will send killers or hire the Shadow Brotherhood to assassinate the members of the Elders." β
"The king is laying the foundation for his throne with the lives of his people!" Caris said in a bitter tone: "As the queen, I am responsible for all my people, and I must not put the country in the hands of such a careerist, even if he is my husband!"
"I am the wife of the king, and the queen of the people!"
"This coup d'Γ©tat must succeed!"
When Serra and Elanco heard this, they immediately stood in awe of Calice.
This is the righteous annihilation of relatives!
Kaliss quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Serra: "Serra, give this letter to Lord Sagaro, and be sure to convince him that at the end of the battle, control the king, the king is a strong man, and only the guardian can deal with him." β
Serra solemnly accepted the order and walked away quickly.
Kalisi took out a silver badge, handed it to Elanco, and said, "Master Elanco, I temporarily appoint you as the head of the Gaudis Mage Regiment, gather all the mages, control the cave entrance of Crystal Snow City, and once I succeed, you will be the official head of the mage group!"
The original head of the mage regiment was the great sage Kevin, and after his death, this position remained vacant under the orders of the king.
Erenko's face was slightly happy, and he carried out the order.
Only Caris and Ivo were left in the tent.
Kyris suddenly fell silent, looked at Ivo for a long time, and then said slowly: "Ivo, you go to protect the Council of Elders and prevent assassins from assassinating, anyone can be an assassin, so I can only send you forward, remember, don't leak this matter to anyone." β
Ivo laughed, "The Council of Elders has a transcendent status, if the king's plan succeeds, he will not do anything more than that, assassinating the Council of Elders will only expose themselves and arouse suspicion, they don't need protection." β
But she looked serious and said word by word: "No, the Council of Elders...... needs your protection. β
Ivo's face suddenly changed, and he stared at Kalis, trying to see something in her face.
Kyliss was expressionless, but her eyelashes trembled slightly, showing that her heart was not at peace, and she gently pushed a piece of paper on the table to Ivo, who looked down to read, her face changing.
Inside the tent, the atmosphere was tense and silent.
After a long time, Ivo slowly spoke: "What benefit can I get?"
Hearing Ivo ask, Kaliss seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "You can get the friendship of Gaudis." β
Ivo shook his head: "I don't accept blank checks. β
Kaliss thought for a while, took out a simple coin, handed it to Ivo, and said softly: "This is the ancient Goya coin handed down from the history of Gaudis, and there are only three in the whole world, one on the king, one on me, and one in the ancestral hall of the ancient family. β
"What's the use of that?"
Kaliss said slowly: "This represents a promise, the Goya Ancient Coin is the supreme token of the Children of Ice and Snow, and a symbol of honor and integrity of the Snow Elves. In ancient times, the snow elves were invaded and nearly wiped out, but at the critical juncture of the war, the Terrans, dwarves, and centaurs came to the rescue and reversed the fate of our extermination. The Snow Elves were grateful, minted the Goya Ancient Coins, gave them to the three races at that time, and promised to agree to a request from the three clans in the future, and then, the Snow Elves did keep their promises, and the Goya Ancient Coin was also returned to the hands of the Snow Elves. In the long millennia, the Snow Elves have only given six Goya Coins, and the Snow Elves have kept every promise, without exception. β
"A Goya coin is a request," said Calis softly, "and this is the best reward I can ever offer." β
Ivo raised an eyebrow and took the Goya coin, "I accept it." β
Kaliss nodded slightly, took out a piece of paper, printed the queen's emblem, handed it to Ivo, and said, "You'll use this thing." β
Ivo picked up the war hammer and walked to the door, his steps paused, he didn't look back, and his tone was low: "I said in advance, if the enemy is too strong, I will give up protecting the elders." β
"When the dust settles, you'll be a friend of all Gaudis. β
β...... Good. β
Ivo strode out.
Kaliss sat down slowly, and only then did she realize that her hands were shaking.
She whispered to herself, "It's worth it. β
......
The Council of Elders consists of four people, who are the spokesmen of an ancient family and reside in the hilltop city of Gaudis.
Snow Feather, Ice Flower, Cold Crescent, and White Pupil, the four ancient bloodlines maintain a transcendent status, and many strong people and officials come from these four ancient surnames.
But in the concept of the snow elves, the entire race is a big family, there is no gateway view, and the ancient family has no other privileges except for the presbyterian church, only blood ties and surname differences.
The Snow Elves maintain their respect for the four ancient surnames, but that's about it.
This is completely different from the human kingdom, and can only be said to be a difference in racial concepts.
Turning into a white bear in the wilderness, Ivo quickly made his way to the hilltop city, as Crystal Snow City had drawn most of the snow elf soldiers, and there were almost no guards in the hilltop city.
The hilltop city is small in size and more like a small town.
The top of the mountain is cold and windy, and the snow is fluttering.
The elders lived in a small castle, and Ivo showed the queen's warrant, and met the four elders in the hall, all of whom looked like drooping old men, with decayed qi and withered breath.
Elders are the spokesmen of ancient surnames, a symbol, and they are of transcendent status, the oldest, and highly respected.
Only the oldest of the ancient forms can become elders.
The gifted snow elves are more eager to travel to the continent for cultivation, and the elders' cultivation qualifications are not good, even if they used to have good strength, but with aging, their strength is not one in ten.
A white-bearded elder with a drooping foot asked Ivo what he was doing, "Young man of the Terrans, why did the Empress ask you to come to us?"
Ivo's tone was heavy, and he recounted the king's actions, and the elders were shocked.
"Elders, the Empress has decided to judge the king, and hopes that the elders will immediately set out to meet her. β
The bearded elder snorted coldly, "The king was jointly elected by us ten years ago, and the trial can only be initiated by us, she has overstepped her authority." β
Ivo was silent.
Another short elder said arrogantly: "The smell of human beings makes my nose uncomfortable, if it weren't for you holding the queen's warrant, I would have asked the guards to drive you out immediately!"
The bearded elder said impatiently, "Go back and tell the queen that the elders' guilt or not is up to the Council of Elders, and there is no need for an immediate trial." β
Ivo shrugged and said, "The king is likely to send someone to assassinate you, the defense here is empty, and all the soldiers of the snow elves are stationed outside the Crystal Snow City, so you can be guaranteed safe there." β
The elders were stunned for a moment, their faces became a little unnatural, and they exchanged their heads.
Soon, they decided to head to Crystal Snow City.
There are more than a dozen snow elf guards in the castle, escorting the four elders down the mountain, and the elders are weakened and sitting in the snow deer cart unique to the snow elves. The snow deer is a domesticated mount of the snow elves, with a peaceful temperament and the same concept as a human horse.
Ivo was also in the descent procession.
......
More than ten minutes later, Ivo quietly broke away from the group.
Under the cover of the wind and snow, Ivo hid out of the sight of a dozen guards.
The next moment, he transformed into a seven-meter-tall white bear, rushed out of the wind and snow, and was exposed to the eyes of more than a dozen guards.
"Beast Attack!"
"Protect the Elders!"
The Ural White Bear opened its mouth and roared, and Sonic pushed away the approaching Snow Elf guards, slamming one of them to death with a wave of his palm, blood gushing out from under the deformed armor.
Frightened, Snow Deer pulled the car and fled far away.
The white bear chased after him and threw the snow deer away, and he lifted the top of the deer cart open, revealing the four terrified elders inside.
The white bear roared in the sky, grabbed the dwarf elder, and threw it vigorously, and the dwarf elder flew out more than ten meters and crashed into the mountain wall, leaving a shocking pool of bright red.
"Run!"
The elders were frightened and tried to flee, but the snow elf guards rushed up to protect them desperately.
But it didn't work.
The bear's paw slammed in turn, like a heavy hammer, and these snow elf guards who were only the first and second level were all wiped out under the bear's paw, and the blood stained the snow red.
Three other elders were also killed.
The wind and snow howled, and the mountain road where the fighting took place quickly returned to quiet, and the heavy snow erased many traces.
Ivo turned back into a human body, looked at the corpses on the ground with a complicated face, and was stunned for a few seconds before quickly leaving.
After a while, a team of snow elf patrols arrived, only to find the brutal blood stains and the corpse of the elder.
