Chapter 17: The Decision to Go to the Elven Forest

That night, in the somewhat silent streets of Avedra, a small girl was flying in the air at a speed of seventy yards.

"Miss Leah, please stop and calm your head, if you continue like this, it will lead to irreversible results!"

Behind Lori, Alec is riding a horse and chasing after several knights.

"Thank you for your concern, Alec. Thanks to some people, my mind is very calm now, very calm. ”

Turning around, Leah said, speeding up a few more points.

The cause of the incident goes back to twenty minutes ago. When Leah heard that the princess and Karen had agreed to go to the Elven Forest, she felt something break in her mind.

Little Lori ordered Rebecca to change her into a robe for going out, put on Nilfi and put on Eledonor, and the azure cloak turned into pure white symbolizing the *master under Leah's will, and then she strode out of the palace.

When Alec, who was the guard, asked where Lori was goingβ€”"Go to Hanufain's Mage Tower!" Leah replied.

Then, there is the current scene. According to Alec's thoughts, although the little Lori is the daughter of the duke, the status gap between her and the great sage is still too big, and it is almost impossible to meet so casually, and it is extremely impolite. What's more, without the permission of the Great Sage, the mage tower is in danger, and if he doesn't do it, he will lose his life.

However, Leah, who has always been calm, did not listen to Alec's persuasion this time, but directly used telepathy and flew to her destination.

Thereupon. Alec was so frightened that he called a few knights and rode after him. However, compared to a point-to-point flight in a straight line, they rode horses and made a few turns in the street, and were left behind by Leah.

After a while, little Lori came to her destination.

There was still a strong elemental storm under the mage tower, but Leah didn't care, she just held up an arcane barrier and continued to walk forward.

Leah though angry. But still calm, since it was the goddess Evette who made her travel to this world, then there was absolutely no reason for Hanufain to let her hang under the elemental storm of her own mage tower.

"Miss Leah, please stop!"

Not far away, the knights finally arrived, looking at the little Lori who had already entered the elemental storm, Alec gritted his teeth, and also walked in with a fighting spirit.

"Miss, it's not too late to go back, if you continue......"

On the speed of walking. The knight was much faster than Leah, and it didn't take long for Alec to catch Leah in the storm.

"Although I'm glad you care so much about me. But so. Alec, I'm going to correct you for one thing, and that's that it's too late. ”

Leah smiled back and pointed ahead.

The knight looked up and saw that before he knew it, the elemental storm had dissipated. Not far away. The Great Sage was waiting for the two of them.

"Is there anything wrong with coming to my mage's tower so late, little Leah?"

The Great Sage asked with a smile.

"There's a lot to ask, but you should know what I'm here for, Hanufain. ”

Leah nodded.

"Li...... Miss Leah...... You're so rude!"

Hearing a certain Lori call Hanufain by her name without any honorifics, Alec felt his heart skip a beat.

"It's okay. Mr. Knight, thank you for escorting Leah all the way here. If you can, rest for a while in Sharuzod's palace not far away, and don't worry about him being unpleasant, just say what I said.

As for this, I'm sure you can tell that Leah and I are going to sit down at the Mage Tower for a while, because we have something to talk about. After that, I hope you will be able to escort her back. ”

When the Great Sage said this, Alec stopped insisting and had to watch the two enter the Mage Tower.

On the other side, a certain Lori came to the living room in the tower and sat down.

"Do you want to drink something, there's a good wine from the elves. ”

"No, thank you, just black tea. ”

"You can see you're angry. ”

"Yes, somewhat. ”

"Because of the Chimera's sacrifice?"

As the two talked, the teapot and teacup floated in the air, automatically brewing mellow black tea for the two.

"It's not just that, it's ...... Why did you take Isabella and the others to the Elven Forest?"

Leah ignored the black tea in front of her, and just looked at the Great Sage and asked.

"I thought it was obvious that we need your help in matters in the Elven Forest, Leah. But there is no doubt that we can't ignore the wishes of Princess Randall and General Karlian and force you away. At least, for me, it's just a no-brainer.

So, I thought -- just take them with me. That way, you'll naturally go along. Of course, there is one thing I must clarify, Eve and I have no intention of breaking up with you, please forgive me for not being in charge of Mage City for a long time, so it wasn't until I saw that you weren't there this morning that I learned that you went to the Elemental Council to be sealed. ”

"It makes me feel so much better to hear that you didn't mean to tear me apart. But you should understand, Hanufain, if I were here today, I would never allow Isabella and her sisters to go with you to the Elven Forest. ”

After listening to the other party's explanation, Leah replied.

"Why?"

"Isn't that obvious? If this matter involves you and Sister Eve, I mean Evette, then it's clear that it definitely has something to do with Ragnarok in ancient times, and that kind of natural disaster that destroys the whole world, even if it is just the aftermath of it, is too dangerous for Isabella and Sister Karen. ”

Leah shook her head, a large part of her anger was due to the fact that the other party had involved her best friend and loved ones in a disaster that could kill her.

"I can understand your thoughts, Leah. But what I want to tell you is - first of all, Randall's princesses are not going to be involved in the war of Ragnarok. What I want them to support is a rebellion from within the elves. ”

"Rebellion?"

Although the center of the sky shattering was the Elven Forest, to be honest, Leah didn't know what was going on over there. Elves generally reject foreigners, and even Randall has not been able to find any news.

"Yes, to put it simply, the inner faith of the elves is divided. Some of the elves of the Druid Sect began to attack the elves of the Order of the Wind Hunters. ”

Long before graduation. Leah learned about the Elven faith relationship from Elena, a mentor who taught Elven language. Although the Wind Hunter and the Druids are incompatible, they did not expect it to turn into a religious war.

"But ......"

However, Leah was still very puzzled, obviously, there was definitely an unusual mastermind behind this religious war, otherwise how could the two sects, which had been calm for thousands of years, say that they would fight.

"I know what you're thinking. Yes, there are some pre-Ragnarok troubles in this matter. But Leah, believe me, there's no reason for me to be swept into such a deep place with the princesses. Think about it from another angle, like you said - with their strength. It's still too weak to face the shadows left by these ancient times, and it doesn't make sense for me to involve someone like them who can't even count as combat power, and it's not wise at all. ”

"Even if you say so. I still can't accept that you're bringing them to a nuclear weapon that could explode at any moment...... By the way. You should know what a nuclear weapon is......"

Leah didn't completely agree with the Great Sage's words, even if Isabella and the others only had to face the rebellious elven warriors, but God knows what Hanufain and Evette herself were going to deal with when they went there, and if the other party accidentally threw two mass destruction magics, the princess and the princess would probably die in an unknown aoe.

"Nuclear weapons?, Mistress Evette told me about those things, and in fact some forbidden spells can have the same effect. But I don't want the gnomes to make a bomb that uses the same laws and leaves as few curses as possible after the explosion lasts for a hundred years, do I?

Not...... Off topic. In general, Leah, you see. As a half-elf, unless I'm dead. Otherwise, the guy sealed in the Ancient Tree of Wind wouldn't have wanted to blow up even a big hole in the ground.

And on that note, Leah, since you've guessed that the trouble in the Elven Forest involves Ragnarok, do you think the princesses will be fine if we fail?"

In the end, the Great Sage raised a very realistic question, that's right, since it involves Ragnarok, the scale is the entire continent, once the outbreak spreads, as long as you are still in the Ivite Continent, it is useless to hide anywhere.

"Well, Hanufain, it seems that you succeeded in convincing me. ”

Leah sighed, reluctantly accepting the other party's explanation.

If it's just for Isabella and the others to help quell the religious war in the Elven Forest, little Lori has no reason to refuse. I believe that the princess thinks the same thing.

The elves are a mystical race with a high artistic culture, mastery of swordsmanship and bowing, and mysterious druids and wind sacrifices. If he could establish a friendly relationship with such a race, it was indeed what Randall wanted.

Now is a good opportunity, the extremely xenophobic elves are now refusing the help of any race. But even so, the Great Sage must be an exception. Hanufain, who has half-elven blood, is one of the brave men who saved the world before Ragnarok, and also has a high prestige among the elves.

If you can establish friendly diplomacy with the help of the Great Sage and the Elves, after Leah researches the magic buildings such as portals, she can not only obtain valuable items such as elven crafts, plant essential oils, herbs, and fountains of life in commerce, but also in culture, music, poetry, herbology and other things worth learning, not to mention magic and military affairs, the unique magic and archery of the elves are also desirable.

If it weren't for the danger of the possible existence of ZΓ i, Leah would have agreed with the princess and Kalian's decision. Now that she has been explained by the great sage, little Lori is finally relieved.
