Chapter 178: The Man Behind It
The blood on the severed arm was still flowing, the handsome elf gritted his teeth and pressed the wound, lay on the ground and continued: "Second prince, there is one more thing, Jumu was killed by Princess Yuelan, his size is too large, I have no way to transport him back, and please send someone to collect his body." ”
"Got it!"
It was still the same three words, but this time, with the voice of the second prince, a two-winged elf the size of a palm flew out of the tree.
"The exact location of the giant tree's corpse?"
The elf asked the handsome elf coldly.
The handsome elf said bitterly: "In the Moonlight Lake, but the giant tree has stirred the Moonlight Lake into a ruin, and many human powerhouses are also there, you should be more careful!"
The elf nodded and flew away.
The woods become more secluded...... After a long time, the second prince's voice came out again, "Don't leave yet, what are you waiting for?"
The handsome elf covered the wound and said, "My arm was abolished by Roddy, please have mercy on the second prince and help me regenerate my severed limbs!"
"Let me save you?"
The second prince's voice suddenly turned cold, "In the battle of Moonlight Lake, as the leader, not only did you not kill Luo Di, but instead damaged the giant tree and hundreds of warriors, the crime is extremely evil, what kind of face do you have, please save you!?"
The handsome elf Binglu was stunned, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "What the second prince said is that Binglu is incompetent......"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his remaining injured arm, put his fingers together, like a blade, and stabbed himself in the throat.
"Forget it, if you follow me for hundreds of years, you don't have to cut yourself!"
As soon as the second prince said this, the handsome elf Binglu was relieved, although he was not afraid of death, but he could live, who would want to die!? Moreover, the elves are different from humans, after the death of people, the soul enters the underworld, and there is a chance to awaken the soul like Jupiter, and after the elf dies, the soul will enter the ancestral tomb of the elf race, the temple of Temiriel, and it is impossible to come out forever!
So for elves, death is endless darkness.
Finally saving her life, the handsome elf Binglu exhaled from the bottom of her heart.
"If you don't let yourself cut, it doesn't mean that I spared your life!"
Suddenly, the second prince said coldly: "In a few days, it will be Xuanyuan Hai Redding's birthday, so use your life to give Xuanyuan Hai Redding Supreme a 'living sacrifice'!"
Living Sacrifice!
This is a punishment worse than death!
The handsome elf Binglu gritted her teeth, smiled gloomily, and kowtowed: "Thank you for the 'reward' of the second prince, Binglu is willing to sacrifice to the Xuanyuan Sea Redding Supreme!"
As he spoke, the elf flew back, looking surprised.
"Second Prince! I was ordered to collect Jumu's body, but Jumu's body is no longer in Moonlight Lake. The subordinate asked the nearby elves, and they said...... "The expression is even more strange, as if they don't believe what they have heard!"
"They said that not long after the battle ended, Jumu's body suddenly shrank, and it seemed that something was absorbing his power in Jumu's body, and in just ten minutes, Jumu was sucked into palm-sized sawdust!"
The second prince's calm voice came from the tree, "Who is absorbing the giant tree, have you found out?"
At the moment when the giant tree was completely sucked dry, more than 3,000 elves and more than 20 humans near the Moonlight Lake only saw a little water-like thing, and then, there were no other visions. ”
In front of the eyes of thousands of people, someone sucked up all the power of the giant wood elf, and then quietly left! In the face of such a shock, the second prince's response was still faint three words...... "Got it." ”
...... The news of the disappearance of the giant wood elf soon reached the ears of Princess Yuelan and Jiang Nan.
However, they were busy evading the pursuit of the second prince, and they were not in the mood or ability to pay attention to a dead giant wood elf.
"Princess Yuelan, can you give me an explanation?"
Walking in the deep tunnel, Jiang Nan pouted and looked at Princess Yuelan in front of him.
"What explanation do you want?"
Princess Yuelan was disgusted with Jiangnan's thug expression, and asked rhetorically.
"It's too much!" Jiang Nan folded his fingers and calculated: "Why did the second prince kill me, the reason for the chaos within the elf clan, and why were the sailors who escorted me killed...... The most important thing is, did you explain to me where we're going?"
Compared with Jiangnan's series of questions, Ji Ji only asked one sentence.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the elven clan is so chaotic, then why didn't your father, the elf king who is not inferior to a human saint in the legend, not appear?"
Princess Yuelan gave Jiji an approving look, "Hit the nail on the head! Roddy, your butler, is much smarter than you!"
It is an indisputable fact that Jiji's IQ is higher than Jiangnan's, as can be seen from Jiji's learning of two elven languages in two months. However, Jiang Nan will not worry about who is smarter with his guardian, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Listen to your meaning, the key to everything is on your father, the Elf King?"
Princess Yuelan nodded, her beautiful eyes suddenly losing their brilliance.
"My father, the King, is going to die!"
Jiang Nan was stunned, "According to legend, your father is only 13,000 years old, and with his strength, he can live to be at least 20,000 years old......"
"My father was wounded!"
Anyone else can hurt the Elven King?
Jiang Nan's heart chuckled, you know, the Elf King is not inferior to the existence of human saints, even if Jupiter is at his peak, he can't be said to be able to hurt the Elf King, who can have such a strong strength?
Princess Yuelan explained, "Have you ever heard of Xuanyuan Hairedding?"
Jiang Nan said with relief: "It turns out that your father was injured by Xuanyuan Hai Redding!"
"No!"
Princess Yuelan said extremely seriously, "My father is not worthy of letting Xuanyuan Hairedding make a move, or rather, Xuanyuan Hairedding is not interested in making a move on my father, an inconspicuous little person. ”
Jiang Nan suddenly felt weird.
Princess Yuelan has already continued, "In a few days, it will be Xuanyuan Hai Redding's birthday, two months ago, in order to prepare a rich birthday gift for Xuanyuan Sea Redding, my father took people to the 'Roaring Valley', ready to catch a few heavenly level fierce beast cubs, and make wine for Xuanyuan Sea Redding......"
Sighing, "The Roaring Valley is just north of the Edariel Forest, although there are many heaven-level beasts there, but my father is not afraid of them, but just after my father captured a few beast cubs, a fierce beast suddenly appeared!"
This beast has the body of a snake, but behind it are the wings of a dragon, and its huge body almost envelops half of the roaring valley!
"I've disappeared for too long, I can't imagine that a mere elf would dare to bully my offspring!?"
The snake of the fierce beast spoke the most ancient language of the founding calendar, and with a flick of its tail, it killed hundreds of warriors around his father!
My father fought with all his might, and fought the murderer for a while, and in the end, the dragon wings of the fierce beast were pierced by my father's bow and arrows, and fled further north into the 'Great Snow Mountain', but my father ...... My father, the king of the beast, took a bite and fled back to Moonlight Lake, and then suffered a bruise...... No more!"
Speaking of this, Princess Yuelan stubbornly raised her head and forcibly held back her tears.
After a few minutes, she continued, "According to the rules of the elves, my father is hopeless, and he should enter the ancestral tomb 'Temiriel Temple' in time to die, but my father said that the beast may come back, and he must leave a breath and kill the beast with his own hands, otherwise, the beast will come, and no one in the elves will be able to resist!
But my father's injuries are so severe that after the seal, he has no energy to care about anything else......"
Princess Yuelan smiled bitterly: "My father has three children, the eldest prince Somya, the second prince Xerxes, and the youngest is me, Yuelan * Stia."
Although the three of us are brothers and sisters, we all have our own ideas: the second prince, Xerxes, believes that there are no good things in humans, and advocates that the elves should follow the ancestral teachings and live forever in the forest of Edariel.
However, Brother Somya and I yearn for the outside world, and advocate that the elves should get out of the forest and integrate into human society. Even, I once went to a human country to learn languages, and Brother Somya was even more obsessed with human history and culture, and was the wisest scholar of the elves. Saying that, Yue Lan's eyes suddenly became fierce, "When my father was here, the three of us brothers and sisters were fine, but my father sealed himself and died soon, according to the rules of the elf race, the three of us brothers and sisters were supposed to govern together, but the three of us had different political opinions, how could we unite together?" "So you have a conflict?"
Princess Yuelan nodded, "After my father sealed himself, we have fought openly and secretly several times, at the beginning, Brother Sophia and I had the support of the four elven envoys, and comprehensively overwhelmed the second prince Xerxes, but just a month ago, Xerxes's skills suddenly skyrocketed, not only did he have the strength that was not much different from his father's, but the four guardians under him also became stronger than the four elven envoys!"
Luo Di, did you see the giant tree just now? Can you imagine, just a month ago, the giant tree was just an ordinary elf, and its strength was not as good as Ji Ji next to you! But a month later, I, the middle-grade totem king who is equivalent to a human being, can be ranked in the top twenty masters of the totem heavenly list, but I can only kill him with all my might!" In a month, four heavenly list powerhouses were created, and the second prince Xerxes was also born, a super heavenly list master...... How is this possible!?
Jiangnan couldn't believe it, but the facts made him unbelievable!
"Luo Di, after you were arrested, the second prince sent someone to urge me to kill you, but I insisted on a trial first, so we clashed again......"
Princess Yuelan said hatefully, "As a result, you can see, after the trial, the second prince sent giant trees and ice dew, and almost blocked us in Moonlight Lake!"
"As for why the second prince wants to kill you......"
Princess Yuelan said seriously: "I don't know, but the second prince's strength has skyrocketed, and there must be someone behind the scenes, and the person who wants to kill you must be the person behind the second prince!"
Jiang Nan pushed down the gold-rimmed glasses, "The key is, who is the person behind the second prince?"
Princess Yuelan shook her head, signaling that she didn't know, but Jiji suddenly came up and smiled shyly.
"Master, people have some ideas!"
Jiji chuckled: "Three days ago, you were framed by the elves, and the only sailor who can prove your innocence was killed immediately, and it is obvious that the person who killed the sailor wants to see you executed by Princess Yuelan......"
"The person who killed the sailor is the person behind the second prince!?"
Jiang Nan turned his head to stare at Jiji.
"That's it!"
Ji Ji smiled: "The bodies of those sailors are still in the hands of Princess Yuelan, right?" Master, you are the best coroner on the continent, go and examine those corpses, maybe you can find some clues about that person!"
Jiang Nan immediately said, "Princess Yuelan, where is the corpse of the sailor?" Princess Yuelan pointed to the front of the tunnel, "Didn't you ask me where I want to take you? Now I can tell you that our target is the corpse of those sailors!"
