Chapter 179: Rage
Some words don't need to be explained too much, everything is silent, and at this moment, the two of them understand each other's minds, so just a simple thank you can make each other's hearts communicate.
Xiao Qiang slowly got up, carried Rowling to the bed, and then gently helped him change the bedding, and only turned around after making sure that he had not woken up the other party.
But the moment he turned around, Xiao Qiang's eyes shot a sharp killing color, and then he looked at the dead male elf corpse.
"This elf has average strength, it is absolutely impossible to be the mastermind of this incident, there must be someone else behind him."
Although he was muttering to himself, Xiao Qiang's words seemed to be for Yan Ji, and the other party responded appropriately.
"Someone poisoned this room, and that friend of yours, Rowling, had the poison in her body, apparently on purpose."
Xiao Qiang nodded, and then came to the corpse of the male elf and squatted down, searching up and down but did not find any useful clues.
Just as his brow furrowed, there was a sharp knock on the door, accompanied by an anxious call.
"Rowling, Rowling, are you in there!"
Listening to the anxiety in the voice, Xiaoqiang guessed that the person outside the door might have a very good relationship with Rowling, so he stepped forward and opened the door.
But the moment the door opened, the anxiety in the eyes of the people outside the door suddenly turned into surprise, followed by a burst of anger.
"Who are you? What did you do to Rowling? ”
Looking at the angry old man in front of him, Xiao Qiang was more sure of his previous guess, so he said quietly.
"I'm a friend of Rowling, and I came to your elven city because I received her call for help."
Hearing this, a look of incomprehension flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he looked past the human in front of him and looked into the room.
But when he saw Tata's blood-stained corpse, his eyes were suddenly surprised, but this surprise was quickly replaced by a wave of course, and then he began to look for Rowling's figure all over the house, until he saw the familiar figure sleeping peacefully on the bed, the old man relieved himself and asked about the identity of the human in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Xiaoqiang."
"Xiaoqiang?" Hearing this familiar and unfamiliar name, the old man's eyes suddenly burst into surprise and said, "You are the Xiaoqiang in Rowling's mouth?" Did you help her out of the princess? ”
Xiao Qiang's eyes showed surprise, nodded and asked, "Did she mention me?" ”
Seeing the human admitting in front of him, the vigilance in the old man's heart was slowly suppressed, and then in Xiao Qiang's puzzled expression, he said to the elf who came with him behind him.
"You're guarding outside, and no one is allowed to come in."
The elf seemed to have a very close relationship with the old man, and although there were doubts and incomprehension in his eyes, he still obeyed the old man's order and nodded.
"Yes, Third Elder."
Then the old man went into the room, and did not forget to close the door, and when he had done all this, he looked at the other woman in the room.
But when the old man's gaze swept over Yan Ji's body, his cloudy eyes suddenly became transparent, and his body involuntarily took a step back.
"I wonder who your Excellency is? Forgive me for being lonely and not knowing you. ”
Yan Ji replied coldly, "Yan Ji", and then saw the shock in the old man's eyes, and exclaimed.
"You're the Flame Phoenix-Yan Ji?"
Yan Ji didn't bother to answer, just condensed a miniature version of the phoenix in her fingertips and disappeared, and this action undoubtedly proved her identity.
The old man's heart had been replaced by a deep shock, he looked at Yan Ji in shock, and at the same time glanced at Xiao Qiang, recalling everything that Rowling had told him, he suddenly felt that if Rowling could get together with the other party, maybe it would not be a bad thing for the elves.
Thinking of this, the old man's heart was even more excited, and his mind was even more rapid.
In the old man's stunned state, Xiaoqiang asked impatiently.
"What are you doing here?"
The old man's trance-like mind was awakened, and he hurriedly explained.
"Before, my subordinates found out that the Second Elder had been here before, and they had also crossed paths with this elf named Tata, I was afraid that they would secretly frame Rowling, so I came to take a look."
Xiao Qiang heard that the matter was related to the second elder again, and asked angrily at the moment.
"Where is the Second Elder now?"
Seeing that Xiao Qiang's expression was wrong, and there was Yan Ji by his side, the old man who was afraid that he would drive out something out of the ordinary in the elf clan, hurriedly reminded.
"Now that the identity of the second elder is a bit special, and he has the support of the Council of Elders, you must not do anything stupid."
Xiao Qiang snorted disdainfully, "An elf who can sell his body and soul, if there is anything to be afraid of, just tell me." ”
Hearing the information revealed in Xiao Qiang's words, the old man immediately realized something and wondered.
"What do you seem to know?"
Xiao Qiang still had a good impression of the elf old man in front of him, and immediately took out a magic crystal for recording and threw it to the other party.
The old man took the recording crystal and glanced at Xiao Qiang curiously, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
Xiao Qiang said, "You can see for yourself what's inside." ”
In his doubts, the old man injected a trace of magic into the magic crystal, and then the pictures that he couldn't believe made his face become suspicious, until the picture in the recording crystal slowly disappeared, and the old man's expression had become angry.
"No wonder, no wonder the second elder is going to convene an elven council as soon as he comes back, no wonder she wants to target Rowling, she is completely revenge."
The old man looked at human nature more deeply than ordinary people, so after seeing the picture in the recording crystal, he immediately understood the purpose of what the second elder was doing.
Because, when a woman falls into despair and is reborn, her heart will definitely hold a grudge against those who have caused her harm, the other elves are already dead, only Rowling and the princess have returned to the elven city safely, obviously the woman who has fallen into despair will not stop there, she will tilt all her anger on the other living people.
And the arrogance and coldness of the second elder will make her heart feel unbalanced and sink even more, especially when she puts down the arrogant prayer in her heart in front of human beings, her heart must be humiliated, and this humiliation is placed on a proud person, and it is not incomprehensible that the next scene will happen.
Sighing deeply, the old man's eyes were filled with a deep sadness and sympathy, he sympathized with everything the second elder had experienced, after all, everyone has the right to live, but he hated the other party's ignorance even more, and even betrayed the elven clan for his own sake, but took revenge as a way to vent his grievances.
At this moment, the old man had already made a decision in his heart, he couldn't let this kind of person destroy the elven race, he wanted to expel the other party from the elven race, and restore the position of the elven elder of Rowling, only in this way could the elf race be unified, and he could have one more chance of surviving in the face of human attacks.
Thinking of this, the old man pleaded with Xiaoqiang.
"Can you give me this record crystal?"
"What are you going to do with it?"
The old man sighed and said, "The Second Elder is miserable, and her experience deserves our sympathy, but what she has done has touched the bottom line of the Elf Clan, so I will unite with the other elders to deal with the Second Elder together." ”
"Can you do it alone?"
"Please rest assured, I may not be able to do anything without this record crystal, but with it, I believe that the other elders should also be able to understand what the consequences of the Second Elder's actions will be."
