My head hurts......

Three seconds later, Soreen regained her breath, she suddenly came back to her senses, and saw that Brandon and the others were staring at her like a great enemy, and Colin even aimed her bow and crossbow at herself, she couldn't help but wonder, she had forgotten how many times this was the case, obviously she didn't have this kind of headache and loss of consciousness not long ago, when did it start?

"Are you alright, Lord Thorin?"

Brandon looked at her in disbelief, just now he thought that Colin's words had angered Sorin, so he kept holding the sword tightly in case Sorine suddenly moved, but seeing that she was also at a loss and at a loss, Brandon pressed the bow and crossbow in Colin's hand.

“...... It's nothing. ”

Soreen stretched out her right hand and drew in the air, the spiritual power intertwined with her fingertips, it was an object about half a meter long, and when the light dissipated, what appeared in front of her was a branch, no, it was not accurate to say that the branch was a staff, it was a staff made of many slender branches intertwined with each other, and there were some green leaves hanging on the dark green staff, many of which were in the germination stage, but if you looked closely, you would find that this staff was not a real branch, but a material similar to jade.

Thorin's action made Brandon tense up again, but when he saw this scepter clearly, his heart completely relaxed, this is one of the very few desolate spirits who have not been included in the secret realm by the Star and Moon Council, the staff of nature of the Noldor elves, called Jade.

"How so?"

Solene took out the jade to confirm her identity, but when she saw the jade, she was completely panicked, for some reason, only three of the original seven leaves of the jade were left, and even the young shoots were in a languid state, as if they had been exposed to the sun for days and had no water source.

The more she thought about it, the more she had a splitting headache, Sorine staggered backwards, and sat down in front of a black cloud tree, Jade lost her spiritual power to maintain, and then dissipated, Sorin's face was painful and she held her forehead, and a fragmented picture kept appearing in her mind, but it was fleeting, leaving no trace, she still couldn't remember anything, what did she forget!?

Brandon and the others looked at each other, a little confused for a while, but now they no longer doubted that the jade was enough to prove Sorin's identity, the reputation of this staff was no less than that of the living staff, it was recorded in many books, it was rumored that the real jade holder could use the power of nature at will, and even immortal, even if it was only jade in the state of the desolate, the ability was also unpredictable.

"Sorin-sama, what's wrong with you?"

Brandon cautiously stepped forward and tried to pick up Sorin, who had fallen to the ground, but when his hand touched Sorin's shoulder, he was surprised to find that his palm had passed directly through it, without the slightest obstruction, as if the person in front of him did not exist at all.

Seeing this, Genos felt a faintly uneasy in his heart, just from the attitudes of Brandon and Colin, it can be seen that Sorin's appearance in the Black Forest is obviously unreasonable, and what she said may not be true, so his first impression of Sorin's unscrupulous elves is to infiltrate the Void City, but this assumption was quickly overturned by himself, if she is really to blend into the Void City, she should understand that this practice is difficult to win people's trust.

But Soreen didn't seem to realize this at first, she only reacted after Colin finished saying that she was suspected, and then took out the jade to prove her identity, but the most critical question was why she appeared in this place so coincidentally, why she saved the human-faced monster so coincidentally, why she was inexplicably stunned for three seconds, why she was surprised when she saw the jade, and what was the reason for the current state.

All kinds of doubts lingered in Genos's mind. Even if she really is the sister of Lord Ethel, even if everything she says is true, her behavior is so weird, yes! That human-faced monster, how can there be such a coincidence in this world, there must be some connection between it!

When you can't figure it out, the best way is to find the key point of the problem, grasp the thread to find the source, the most taboo is to try to solve it together, that will disturb the mind, in the end nothing can be solved, and the key point of these problems in front of you is the human-faced monster that they have been ignorant.

It's gone......

I don't know when, it took advantage of the time when no one paid attention to it, sneaked away, the blood on the ground spread to the north, disappeared in the bushes, Genos couldn't help but be a little annoyed, this is good, the only clue is gone, even if there is residual blood on the ground, but if you want to catch up with it, I am afraid it can only be wishful thinking, maybe this smell of blood will attract other monsters.

Brandon only felt a headache, he just came out to patrol as usual, why was there so much to do?

He didn't know what kind of situation Soreen was in now, he couldn't find the problem, even if he wanted to, he couldn't help, if he didn't die, it was better to say, if he died in the Black Forest, the elves would definitely not give up, and at that time the first to bear the brunt was him, the deacon of Winter City, although the elves advocated peace, but if even the current elven queen Thorin died in the Void City, the result was obvious.

Just as he was in trouble, Thorin opened his eyes suddenly, and the ice-blue eyes were frightened, the stunned feeling that Brandon couldn't understand, she seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"...... Sorin "

Brandon saw her wake up and was about to ask her how she felt, but Sorin, who was in front of her, suddenly disappeared, and no one could see how she disappeared.

"What is this? I think this Thorin is crazy, Lord Ethel's death has stimulated her too much, so it's okay, save trouble, if you want to find out, you can check it yourself, what do you want us to do? We haven't seen how Lord Ethel died, and we don't have the ability to help her. Ranger Gilles lowered his voice and whispered to Colin beside him.

"Crazy...... Colin, Genos, what do you think?"

Brandon squatted in place for a long time and didn't get up, he looked down at the position where Sorine had just stumbled, but found that the weeds on the ground had no trace of being bent and broken, even the place where Sorine had just walked left no traces, as if the one who was talking to them just now was a ghost that did not exist, and what puzzled him the most was the sudden disappearance of Sorine just now, no matter how exaggerated the strength of the elves was, it was impossible to achieve the point of disappearing silently and out of thin air, there were too many strange things in it that made him incomprehensible。

"Lord Deacon, I suggest that tonight's patrol be cancelled, and that I immediately go back and write a letter to report this matter to the higher-ups and the Star-Moon Council, if it's okay, then it's better, but what if. ”

Colin made a pertinent suggestion, in fact, Brandon does have the intention of canceling tonight's patrol, but whether to report to the high-level and the Star and Moon Council He is still considering, those people believe it or not are secondary, but those who don't like each other on weekdays, such as the deacon of the Night Castle, that old fox will inevitably take advantage of the topic, the current Void City, the intrigue is no less than the kingdom's power field, as for now, I am afraid it will only be more exaggerated than before, after all, the position of the city lord is still empty, more things are better than less things, rather than asking for trouble, it is better to wait and see what happens。

"Lord Deacon, my current advice is very simple, cancel the patrol and retreat immediately, otherwise it won't be long before we really have to face thousands of monsters, as for Thorin...... She's acting so weirdly that I can't figure it out right now. ”

Genos pointed to the blood stains left by the human-faced monster when it fled just now, the most popular thing in the Black Forest is the smell of blood, those monsters are naturally sensitive to the smell of blood, even if it is just a drop of blood, as long as the breeze blows, the monsters within a radius of ten miles can smell it clearly.

"It was my negligence, but I hurt my foot, and it shouldn't have been able to run far, and it may be too late to catch up with the bloodstains now, Lord Deacon, why don't you evacuate first, and I'll get it back." ”

Of course, Colin knew how dangerous it was to do this, but he knew better what that human-faced monster he had never seen before, if he couldn't investigate it thoroughly, it would definitely be a hidden danger, and it was his responsibility to let it go, so he should go and catch it back, and he dared to say that he was naturally certain to a certain extent, after all, he had been a ranger for more than 20 years, even if he really couldn't catch it, there was no problem with retreating.

"Colin, it's not that I can't trust you, but you should be able to feel it, this place has changed, it's no longer the Black Forest you and I are familiar with, don't take this unnecessary risk, tomorrow, I'll discuss it with Dick tomorrow before deciding, go back tonight, inform them, cancel the patrol, and go back to the city immediately." Brandon gave the order without question.

Hearing this, Colin had no choice but to take out his crossbow, choose a place where the leaves were a little sparse, and shoot an arrow at the sky.

The crossbow bolts rose into the air at great speed, and when they reached a certain height, Colin activated the spell, only to see a dazzling light in the dark sky, and then scattered, and the points of light in the sky were like countless stars, and they flickered for about half a minute before gradually extinguishing.

At the same time, Colin and the others kept carving traces on the trees with their blades, trying to leave a mark, they would definitely come back tomorrow, and after doing all this, Brandon casually walked up to Genos and asked casually, "Did you let Tully and Royce go back?"

Genos's hand couldn't help but pause, his heart seemed to skip a beat, and he forced himself to calm down, "It happened suddenly, I made a decision to let Tully and Royce go back to Master Dick, I hope you don't blame me." ”
