Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Calm Before the Storm
Seeing the other party's embarrassment, Leo waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to answer, since Leo can trust you, I can trust you too." ”
For Illidah, the current situation is indeed very difficult for him.
Through his recent revelations, he had confirmed that Hesfer was definitely looking for the Demon Hunter Legacy that he knew, and was making adequate preparations. It's just that it's unclear what he's found and how far he's progressed.
On the one hand, Illidia didn't want to reveal the existence of the Demon Hunter Legacy Relic, which would otherwise be destroyed by conservatives and cut off completely.
On the other hand, Hesfell's existence would bring danger to many innocent people, and the thought that he could not save that hateful and poor girl made his heart tingle.
At the same time, Illidia was still worried that if he was rescued by Hesfer and got the inheritance, with his fusion of the power of the Demon Lord, combined with the unique and extremely effective way of controlling the power of the Demon Hunters, he would inevitably become an extremely terrifying existence, even if he broke through to the legend, it would only be a matter of time.
With the demon's instinctive hatred for the Moon Elves, especially from Manoros' will, it was not difficult to imagine what he would do.
"What the hell should I do?" said Ilydia, asking herself.
Among all of them, he was the most overwhelmed, and even had a deep whirlpool, a feeling of being unable to extricate himself, and wanted to talk to others more and more.
Unconsciously, he looked at Leo.
Although they are of different races, the two have similar temperaments and have experienced several ups and downs of adventures together, and they can already be called friends of life and death. So at the most critical time. He unconsciously wanted Leo's opinion.
Leo understood what he meant, and said with a smile, "Uncle Leo and Vanessa are people I can trust completely, but the final decision must be made by yourself. ”
He was not exaggerating at all, after all, both of them were Isa's relatives, and they could be regarded as his own relatives, and the battle in Joseph's castle. They are almost killed, but they still protect themselves, and such a relationship is certainly stronger than that of magic iron.
"Totally trusted...... Illidia nodded, but instead of immediately stating her situation, she asked, "Mr. Leo, I would like to know what you think of that person and what you want to do." ”
Leo was not surprised by Illida's question, but seemed to have judged it a long time ago, so he replied without hesitation, "This person appears." It was an opportunity for me. Although I can't say anything to you right now, I can assure you that I have no ill will towards the Moon Elves, on the contrary, I am full of gratitude and respect, for your willingness to shelter someone like me is a very noble act in itself. ”
This sentence is said in a fog, not to mention Illida. Even Leo didn't understand. Only Vanessa pursed her lips slightly, but didn't say much.
Leo paused. He continued: "There is no doubt that this man is full of uncertainty and threat, and I am more than willing to strangle it in its current state. And in order not to cause widespread panic, this process should be relatively hidden. ”
Hearing this, Leo had already begun to feel that Leo must know something. Because he seemed to be speaking to Illidia on purpose.
"Of course, with my current strength, it is unrealistic to realize this idea alone, so I still need the cooperation of some people. ”
"Whose cooperation do you need?" asked Illidia hurriedly.
Leo replied calmly, "It depends on the situation. If you're willing to tell me more, maybe this will go more smoothly. ”
Illidia fell silent.
After a long moment, he spoke again: "If you can, I want you to keep this secret for me." ”
"No problem, it's the best thing I do. Leo smiled rarely, and then added, "But Illidah, I must warn you that some things that seem to you to be secret may no longer be secrets. ”
Illidia's heart chuckled, "What do you mean ......?"
Leo shook his head and said, "Nothing special, please start, maybe this matter is a rare opportunity for us." ”
............
A few minutes later, Illidia told her about the Demon Hunter Legacy.
"But why are you suddenly so sure that the man is the so-called Hesfer?" wondered Leo.
"From the fact that he chose to transform his body into a Moon Elf!" Illidia clenched her fists, "You know, Demon Hunters are a profession unique to the High Elves, and as far as I know, except for the branches of the Moon Elves, Sun Elves, and Dark Elves, other races should not be able to become Demon Hunters. And the stronger the trainee's own bloodline, the closer they are to the original High Elf, the higher the likelihood of success. That's why that guy will transform his body into a moon elf, and at the same time constantly seize the bloodline of others, the purpose of which must be to restore the bloodline of the high elves!"
"It makes a lot of sense. Leo affirmed Illida's opinion, and suddenly changed his words: "You should know that in this era, it is not so easy to become a demon hunter, you may even be rejected by your own people, or even captured and imprisoned, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, I think! The Demon Hunters have made an indelible contribution to the continuation of the Elven Race, and they should not be forgotten by history, even if I cannot regain their former glory, I hope to be able to continue this legacy. Illidia said in a tone that had never been firmer than ever, "It's a pity that we need your help in our internal affairs of the Moon Elves, but I will do everything I can for the Demon Hunter to walk on the road!"
Leo listened carefully to Illida's declaration, and asked meaningfully, "Including life?"
Illidia was visibly stunned, but quickly regained her firmness, "Yes, including life, if necessary!"
At this moment, his voice was hoarse, but it was extremely thick.
"Something. It's really worth our lives. Leo sighed inexplicably, "I'll leave this matter to me for the time being, but you have to be prepared." ”
"What preparations?" asked Illidia with concern.
Leo replied, "Get the inheritance, and get out of here quickly." ”
"This ......" Illidia didn't expect this to be the case, and couldn't help but be stunned again.
Leo patiently explained, "As you said, that guy probably found the legacy. And we are preparing for it. So we don't have much time, and we may have to start when we have to. And once the lineage appears, it will inevitably attract the attention of more people, and then you will not be able to stay here. ”
"But where can I go?" asked Illidia, distressed.
In this regard, Leo obviously expected it, and immediately replied: "If I have to give advice, it would be a good choice to go to the bloody battlefield Basto to join the devil's sequence." ”
"The evil devil of the nethers?" Illidia was taken aback, he had been from birth to the present. I never thought I would be in the company of creatures from the lower realms.
Leo affirmed, "The devils, though evil, are at least orderly, and rarely break the rules. As long as you are careful, don't trust them casually, and don't make contracts indiscriminately, as a demon hunter, you will grow up quickly in the battle against endless demons. As long as you reach the advanced level, this world will open a whole new door for you. ”
Imagine standing in the lower realms of blood and fire. Imagine yourself like the demon hunter ancestors of tens of thousands of years ago, slaying down all the demon armies that surged in. Illidia suddenly felt a burst of blood boiling.
That's it!
That's what you want!
The Bloody Battlefield is a filthy and evil place, but it is also a fertile ground for the Demon Pigmen to shine again and rise to the world!!
Leo could see at a glance that the other party was moved, and continued, "But it is not easy to go to the lower realm, if you are determined to do so. I recommend heading to Sigil City, where you'll be able to find a portal that leads directly to the battlefield of the bloody battle. ”
Illidia had heard of the Seal City, but another question arose, "How do I get to the Seal City?"
"This ...... What a problem......" Leo looked embarrassed for the first time.
If you're in the magically prosperous Planet Empire, there are at least ten or more ways to get to Seal City. But the High Forest has always adopted a conservative policy and rejected magic. Even if there may be portals established through divine magic or special bloodline power, the price of long-distance teleportation is too high for ordinary people to afford;
Dia is not a priest and does not have a strong family background, so even if she has money, it is basically impossible to get the opportunity to use it.
What's more, once the inheritance of the demon hunter is obtained, Illidia will immediately become the target of public criticism, not to mention looking for the teleporters, I am afraid that as soon as he shows up, he will be arrested and judged as a heretic.
After thinking for a moment, Leo re-spoke, "It seems that you can only disguise yourself and go to the human realm through the Western Sea Route to find the portal, which is probably the most appropriate way. Also, I suggest that you prepare some more belongings in case you need them. ”
"So, I'm going to start a long journey again?" said Illidia with a bitter face.
Leo had regained his usual indifference and replied, "Not only is it long, but it is full of dangers, and you must be prepared to be pursued at all times." ”
At this time, Leo, who had always been silent, suddenly patted his head and said, "Maybe it's not that dangerous, I think I have another way!"
"Do you have a way?" Vanessa immediately questioned, even Leo didn't have any ideas, could he have a way?
Leo smiled and pulled out a scroll from the deepest part of the spatial ring.
"What is this?, teleportation scrolls?" Vanessa asked, puzzled.
Illidia and Leo also looked at each other curiously.
Instead of unfolding the scroll, Leo asked, "Have you heard of the Rising Sun?"
Vanessa and Illidia were both at a loss, and only Leo asked with some surprise, "Have you been in contact with this organization?"
"They approached me and tried to get me to join the organization, but I didn't agree. When they parted, their people left me this contract, and as long as they used it, someone would come looking for me. Leo didn't hide it, but told the others the whole story.
Illidia looked at Leo with a complicated look and said, "You want to sign a contract and have someone who came to look for you take me to Seal City?"
Leo also looked at Illidia and replied seriously, "That's right, I think that as a high-level target, they won't refuse this little favor." That way, you'll be able to travel to Barstow without any problems. ”
"But what about you? have you decided to join this organization?" Illidia still couldn't take the sudden change.
Leo pretended to be relaxed and said: "Why not? Anyway, I estimate that I will face graduation in another year or two, so it should not be a bad choice to prepare a good internship environment for myself in advance." ”
"It's not a bad choice. Leo interjected, "The people of the rising sun have always taken an absolutely neutral attitude towards all forces, and they are very protective of their shortcomings, as long as they are their own people, as long as they do not do too much, most of them will try their best to shelter." ”
"Do you approve of me joining?" Leo's attitude was a little unexpected.
"Yes, I agree. Leo's fingers twitched on the wooden table, as if in thought, and then he added, "Not now, though. I believe that with their strength, after you sign your name, it will come soon, so you need to complete the contract when it is critical. ”
Without waiting for Leo to say anything, Leo stood up, looked at the lake outside the window with complicated eyes, and said in a dreamy tone: "What should come will come after all." Illidia you can go back and prepare yourself for what you have to do, and when things start, I'll practice you. Leo, you go to Bedar, and then enjoy this last period of peace. ”
"Oh, okay. ”
Leo and Illidia knew that the current situation was beyond the reach of the two of them, so neither said anything more.
Watching them leave the cabin, Leo looked at Vanessa thoughtfully, sighed, and said, "You should go and enjoy the peace, my daughter." ”
"The calm before the storm?" Vanessa asked, raising a frown.
Leo smiled again: "Ha, that's right, the calm before the storm, I hope this time we can be as lucky as last time." (To be continued......)
