Volume 3 Knight Athletic Chapter 155 The Summons of the Elven King
"You should have heard about it just now.,Humans deceived us into trust.,That happened shortly after the demons just started a war with humans.,When my father was still in power.,Because of the unilateral ban of humans.,Many merchants who have trade dealings with the elves have been recalled.,But this is a bolt from the blue for the elves who have relied on them for a long time to obtain supplies.,Just when we were at a loss,A man who called himself Vlazi Stuart came to us.,He told us that he would continue to secretly trade with the elves., This gave us hope again, so we did not have the slightest suspicion, and on the same day we treated him as a guest, and then brought him all the food that had been stored in a frugal manner, and in the following days, he did fulfill his promise and sent a caravan to transport a large amount of supplies to us, and in return of equal value, my father was even willing to let him drink the spring of the elves, and gave him a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, but what he did not expect was that although he looked gracious on the surface, he was insatiable behind the scenes. And his real purpose is actually the forging technology of our elf race, after all, at that time, if humans can create powerful weapons, they will have a greater advantage in the war with the demons, so on the seventh day, he finally acted, he sneaked into the treasury under the cover of night, and then unlocked the lock with the authority given to him by the elf king, after stealing the forging technology, he and his caravan disappeared together, until we realized that it was completely too late to catch up, fortunately, it was only partial, And the rest of it has been kept in my possession, so I can't let him succeed. ”
"I see." Ophelia nodded thoughtfully.
"You should have heard about this Stuart family, it is said that before the establishment of the current human empire, their forging skills were perfected, but as everyone knows, it is with the technology of the elf clan that they have become a forging family."
"Oh, and what about later? What is the so-called curse? ”
"My father was also very angry when he learned that he had been deceived, but that man returned to the human race, and if he rushed to hunt down and kill, he might have formed a bond with the humans, so he just cast a magic spell to prohibit people with the blood of the Stuart family from entering the territory of the elves, and the elven spring no longer works for them, if you drink it rashly, it will cause a great backlash, although this curse is not painful, but we who are forced to the edge of the continent by the fierce humans have no other way."
"But how did the emir not be ostracized when he entered the illusion?"
"Well, because this illusion I created is not strictly an elven territory, in other words, it is like an alien space, independent of the real world."
"Oh?" This reminded Ophelia of Anne's alien space, but she didn't expect Cosette's illusion to be the same.
"Gee, that's going to be tough." Cosette scratched her head, she was in a quandary.
Since Emir has the blood of the Stuart family, he will definitely not be able to obtain the effects of the Elven Spring, but in this way, she will not be able to help Ophelia.
"......" Ophelia was also disappointed, and then she was afraid that Cosette would thank her, and said, "Haha, it's okay, I just said, I won't blame you if I can't help it." ”
However, after listening to Ophelia's words, Cosette was not comforted, and she still refused to give up.
If it was her before, after finding out that Ophelia had no news, she would definitely choose another way without hesitation, but now Ophelia is back, and the reason why the other party did not successfully complete the mission is that there are people in the elf clan who are obstructing, this is their own problem, so she believes even more that if she helps Ophelia eliminate the side effects and let her send her master to the throne, then the day when the elves and humans rebuild trade is just around the corner, and then why should it be like now, Every day she beware of being framed by someone, and then she has to regain her confidence in the constant failure of research, and to be honest, she is already tired.
"Ophelia, listen to me," Cosette shook her head and smiled, "since I promised you, I'll do it anyway, so trust me." ”
"But is there anything else we can do?"
"You don't have to bother, you wait here for a while, and by the way, take care of the emir, and I'll come when I go." Cosette finished speaking and ran away.
Ophelia wanted to ask her what she was going to do, but then she realized that she had better stay honest, and now she couldn't do anything.
By this time, after the cooling of the water, Emir's body had returned to its original state, and his appearance had changed back to his human form.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he found Ophelia kneeling beside her, resting her head on her lap.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I just fainted." The emir hastened to his feet.
"Well, it's okay for you to lie like this, after all, I owe you enough, and I should take care of you a little."
However, the emir shook his head and said what was in his heart.
"What do you owe me, think about it carefully, when you were in Heitan Town and Jinshi Village, did you rescue me many times, and later fought with Cornes, didn't you also come to save me?"
"Haha, so you remember, I didn't care that much anyway." Ophelia scratched her head.
"Well, do you think of me as one of those ungrateful people?" The emir covered his face helplessly.
"Of course not, sorry, I misunderstood you."
"So, I'm just helping you to repay your favor, you don't have to have a psychological burden."
"Uh-huh, I see." Ophelia nodded solemnly.
"That's right, and we're friends now, so it's only natural to help each other...... Wait, someone's coming. Suddenly Emile sensed traces of magic, not as strong as Cosette's.
Ophelia also looked in the direction where the traces of magic were emanating, and sure enough, she noticed a person walking in the distance.
The other party's speed was very fast, and it didn't take long for him to come to them, and at this time, Ophelia saw that he was the elven elder just now, Jerez.
"What do you want to do?" Ophelia became vigilant, "Could it be that you want to take advantage of Cosette's absence and attack us without permission?" ”
"No, no, no, you're mistaken," Jerez said with a quick smile and a wave of his hand, "just to give you a little advice." ”
"Hmph, say whatever you want, but you'd better not say anything too nasty, or I can't guarantee that I won't sue you in front of Cosette."
"Hehe, we elves don't have the same bad minds as humans, in short, the young man next to you can appear here is already our greatest tolerance, if you don't want to be our enemy, just leave as soon as possible, I just saw Cosette's appearance, I should have thought of a way, but the only possibility is to go to the elf king to intercede, let him lift the curse on the Stuart family, but do you really think there is hope? Since being deceived by humans, the Elf King has always been resentful, because he can't take revenge on that person, so he set a curse, and even if the Elf King agrees, what will the other elves think, you can't imagine it, right? If it were your human king who had been deceived and caused damage to the country, would you choose to forgive? ”
Ophelia was suddenly speechless, she did have the idea of retreating, although Cosette repeatedly promised that she would find a way, but at this time it seemed that the best option was to leave voluntarily, so that Cosette would not be embarrassed.
However, the emir stepped forward.
"Wait a minute, all that has been said, this is just your one-sided words, can you represent all the elves?"
"Haha, what a joke, I, as a member of the elven race, at least know my own race better than you as a human," Jerez said with a sneer, and then he sighed, "Forget it, I don't bother to talk nonsense with you, in short, the choice is up to you whether to take the initiative to leave or continue to see the end." ”
After he finished speaking, he walked away without looking back, and also disappeared from their sight at a very fast speed.
"Cut, self-talking." Ophelia muttered.
"Ophelia, are we really leaving?" Emir asked, after all, he couldn't help her decide on this matter.
"Well, after listening to what you just said, I'd better stay first, Cosette is so good to us, we can't just say goodbye, that would be too rude, even if the Elf King doesn't agree, we can comfort Cosette, right?"
"Well, that's exactly what I want." The emir nodded.
After a while, Cosette finally returned, her face calm, neither sad nor happy, and she could not tell whether she had convinced her father.
However, before Ophelia could ask, she suddenly smiled.
"There's a play."
"Oh?"
"Originally, I thought that my father still had a grudge against the Stuarts, so I was not sure, but when I told him what I thought, he expressed his willingness to support my decision."
"That's great, I was almost misled by a guy just now, it seems that he still can't represent all elves."
"Uh, who are you talking about?" Cosette asked.
"Haha, that's not important, so what do we do next?" Ophelia shifted the subject.
"Well, it depends on what my father wants, he wants to see the emir first."
"Uh, me?" The emir was incredulous.
"That's right, so he can undo the curse for you."
Emir couldn't help but think that he could get the name of the Elven King, but he immediately became vigilant again.
What if this elven king still has a grudge against the people of the Stuart family? And this so-called reception may just be a trick to lure the enemy deeper, and then the emir can only be left to the disposal of the elven king.
Cosette didn't care what he thought, but took his hand and walked deeper into the forest, and the Emile had to accompany him to the end.
After the group left, Jerez stepped out of the shadows.
"Hmph, I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin, it seems that I have to think of another way."
