tortuous
Evan and Fat Dog followed the two elven rangers through the forest, and arrived at an elven legion camp half a day later. Bands of heavily armed rangers, archers, warriors, mages, and priests can be seen.
Evan entered a tent, and there was an elf warrior sitting on the main seat, a middle-aged elf, how old is it is not clear, Ivan thinks that this warrior is at least a few hundred years old! There was an old mage sitting next to him, and it was hard to say how old he was.
After the middle-aged warrior said a few words to the mage, the old mage stood up and bowed slightly to Evan, who returned the elder salute.
"First of all, thank you for bringing back the relics of an Elven Traveler, boy. We still have something to ask or want to know about the location of the Far Traveler's death. ”
"Is there a map of the continent? The map of the Violet Empire is the best. ”
The old mage said a few words to the seated warrior, and with a wave of his hand, the huge map of the Violet Empire was taken out and opened by the two elven warriors.
"I don't know anything in Elven language, I pointed to the name of the place and said, this is Stormwind, right?" Evan turned his head to look at the old mage, and when he saw the old mage nod, he continued.
"Stormwind, Sunset City, Abel, Depero Lead, about twenty kilometers south of here, he died here. Fifty years ago, Depero was a desert with no people, and my home is there now. Ivan pointed to the map and finished all the information.
"I originally wanted to come here to learn Elven language, if you can't please allow me to leave, or walk freely."
The chattering elven language dialogue gave Ivan a headache, and it seemed that there were very few elves in the elf clan who knew the lingua franca of the mainland.
"Young man, you are telling the truth, the soul does not deceive. If you want to learn Elven language, you have to go through a test, because you are not like a human, and there are some small differences between you and the elves, and the council's ban is against humans. If you're willing to test, you can do it now, just like your talent test, but with some minor differences. ”
After the old mage finished speaking, he looked at Evan, and when Ewen heard that he could learn elven language, he was a little excited.
"I'll test!"
The old mage said a few words to the middle warrior, and the warrior waved his hand and beat the war drum on the side, and the old mage waited quietly.
After a while, more than a dozen elves, all mages, all of them were very old. After a brief exchange, a lot of the test supplies were taken out. It's roughly the same as Evan tested before, what magic crystals, magic crystals, etc., and the remaining two don't know.
The other tests went well, the soul test blew up a crystal ball, and the final test actually required several drops of blood. Then it was just waiting, and the old mages stared at Ivan with the eyes of a monster, and then there was a long exchange of elven words in the cooing elves. Finally the old mage stood up and nodded at the mages.
"You can learn the elven language, your human bloodline is less than forty percent, and the rest is purer than the elven bloodline, the magic affinity reaches the highest, the dual attributes of fire and darkness, the magic element in the blood is very high, your soul is very strong, and pure-blooded humans can't reach such heights. Over time, the elements will continue to transform your bloodline. ”
"The test will be submitted to the Council, and this is the Legion's forward camp, so we can't afford to neglect our duty to teach you Elven language. You can go to the Kingdom Bo Academy, where there is free teleportation. ”
The old mage said and pointed to a corner of the tent, a movable teleportation array, and the old mage handed Ivan a certificate with more than a dozen signatures on it. Ivan bowed down, as did all the mages over there.
Evan walked up to the circle with the fat dog in his hand, and the magic shone brightly.
As soon as Ivan walked on his front foot, the Elven Legion Forward Camp received an incredible message.
Stormwind was bulldozed again, with fifteen thousand Violet Empire border guards, plus more than five thousand bandits, bullies, robbers, thieves, and several slave catchers. All but six or seven women and children died, silently. A thousand years ago, it was the elves who overthrew Stormwind City, but this time it wasn't the elves who did it!
An order was sent out, increasing the aerial reconnaissance of the Swift Eagle and increasing the range.
The Violet Empire, the capital of Maple Leaf City, has received an urgent magic summons. Stormwind was bulldozed again, 15,000 border guards, plus more than 5,000 criminals, and a few slave catchers!
Roland XI looked at this urgent summons, and the three words of the slave catcher made him angry, perhaps he was merciful to the nobles, and made the nobles forget the majesty and iron blood of the Roland Emperor.
"The order was issued that the western general should be dismissed from his post and handed over to the two military and legal affairs departments for trial. We will not send troops to Stormwind for the time being, our focus is on the east. The bloody hand investigated all the backgrounds of the slave catchers in detail, whether it was the nobles or the chamber of commerce. Entrusting the Mage Guild and the Apothecary Guild to investigate the cause of death, it is not appropriate for the legion mage to go now, and in times of crisis, it is likely to be imminent. The two heralds went down, and the shadow in a corner slowly left.
The old aristocracy is not as good as the new aristocracy, and these thousand-year-old aristocratic homes are simply useless except for enjoyment, oppression of the poor, playing tricks, and digging into the corners of the empire. The new upstart Count de Perrault also toppled all the Papal forces in the south, at least on the surface. He sacrificed his super magic skills and strengthened the strength of the empire.
It's time to liquidate a group of nobles, thought the old emperor.
Depero leads, the old guy Trump received the imperial commission. Nervously negotiated with Depero, Depero roared, and saliva sprayed on the old guy's face. In the end, the two chose to remain silent and not let their families know about it.
The old guy went to the Imperial Capital Headquarters to gather, and went to Stormwind City with dozens of mage pharmacists to investigate.
"All the bodies had no external or internal injuries, and as they had been before their deaths, they did not even change their expressions, and they died very suddenly and painlessly. The soul is gone, and this is also the case with several high-level mage corpses. The first mage stated.
"There are no ordinary people dying here, they are all professionals, there are hundreds of high-level, and there are several great samurai-level, it is not normal for the soul to disappear so quickly." The second mage stated.
"The number of border guards is not 15,000, careful counting and searching, as well as the exploration of camp accommodations, about 12,000 people, 3,000 is a false number!" The third mage stated.
The fourth mage stepped forward. "The surviving eight did not have any symptoms such as amnesia and loss of soul, and what they did know was that one fell down and died, as if they were asleep."
"There is no sign of elven activity nearby, only an eagle patrolling the sky."
Trump frowned, nearly 20,000 people died at the same time, there were no magic fluctuations nearby, the death was very strange and weird, and there was no way to explain what power took everyone's souls.
"Report all the findings of the imperial capital, that's all, without going into too much detail, the final conclusion is that we can't be sure whether it was the elves who caused such consequences."
The old guy looked at the forest in the distance, and he didn't know what happened to his old friend! Now the relationship between the two sides is too tense to go.
