Alien world

Chapter 1124 46. Is that friend you are talking about yourself?
A few dozen minutes later, Prince Aidan appeared in the tree house.

He tidied up his appearance a little and went out to Annan's tree house.

Before he got close, he saw hundreds of golems surrounding the tree house and Annan standing in front of the golems as if inspecting them.

"What's this……?"

Annan turned around and saw that it was Prince Aidan, and was surprised.

"You guys bought all the samples, so I had to buy another batch." Annan sighed, "I went around a few times just now, but no one wanted to buy a golem from me."

"You... sell the merchandise yourself?"

"Is there a rule that lords cannot work part-time as merchants?" Annan asked back.

Prince Aidan smiled and said, "You are right. No one stipulates what people must do."

It seems that Annan is not aware of this.

"Do you need help?"

"Help me..." Annan looked at him for a few seconds, "Are you going to help me sell it?"

"is it not OK?"

"I have no objection, but Minister Oli just reminded me that it is shameful for a noble to go into business. You are the heir to the kingdom, so I don't want you to have another stain that will be criticized."

"How about helping you find a buyer?"

Annan stared at Prince Aidan in a daze.

"what happened?"

"I seem to have seen an angel..."

Prince Aidan smiled faintly, "Just taking advantage of the nobles who want to please me."

Annan was tempted, but still shook his head: "Forget it, I'm here to open up trade routes. If I want to sell goods, wouldn't magic images be more profitable?"

"By the way, have you seen "When Freedom Knocks on the Door"? "

"Well, it's a really good story. How did you come up with the idea of ​​having an orc as the protagonist? Is it to fit the theme of freedom?"

"This is one of them. There are too many good stories in the continent of Allen. Pure human protagonists are not that touching." Annan said frankly, "But the most important thing is to attract aliens."

"Attracting aliens?"

“I want to build a city without class, without race, without barriers.”

A beautiful utopia seemed to appear before Prince Aidan’s eyes: “That scene must be great.”

"Yes."

Annan invited Prince Aidan to visit the tree house. He prepared cakes and tea and continued to listen to him talk about the customs and culture of Wilhelm.

To some extent, Wilhelm fits the future that Annan wants to create: peaceful coexistence between races.

The last major war between the four major races dates back to the end of the Elven calendar a thousand years ago... How can it not be considered peaceful?

Later, human expansion covered up the conflicts between them. However, the turmoil of the gods made all races uneasy. The Elf King invited many races to participate in the celebration, and it is hard to say that there was no intention to avoid war.

However, due to the low altitude, Annan was still too far away from these places.

After all, there are only human messengers in the tree house complex, and the other tribes were placed in other places by the elves who were worried about disputes.

After talking for a long time, Prince Aidan suddenly asked a question: "I have a friend..."

Without thinking, Annan asked, "Is that friend you're talking about you yourself?"

Prince Aidan smiled: "That friend caught an enemy who broke into his home, and he found out that the enemy was a good friend of his friend. He was worried that killing the enemy would make his friend sad and turn against him... What do you think?"

"Kill the enemy!"

Annan said decisively, looking at the stunned Prince Aidan: "If you don't remove the root of the problem, it will only cause trouble later."

"Is that so..." He thought thoughtfully.

"However, if I were you, I would definitely ask you...oh, your friend to show mercy." Annan changed the subject.

"Oh?"

Annan said frankly: "Everyone has selfish desires and doesn't want the people around them to be hurt. Killing will only make hatred take root. Why can't we sit together and play a game of cards happily?"

It's been days since Annan told the "he could have wiped out the Kingdom of Rekanel but chose not to just so more people could live" story.

"I understand." Prince Aidan nodded, "I will tell my friend what you said." Annan picked up the juice: "You can ask him to come and meet him after the celebration."

"I will……"

Prince Aidan dropped his eyes.

After chatting for a long time, Prince Aidan got up and left, returning to his tree house.

……

Samael Yege and his men arrived at an elven building several hundred meters away from the tree hole.

"Elder, Irelanth has not come out yet." said the elf captain Kael'thas.

"How long has it been?"

"20 leaves falling."

Leaffall time represents the time it takes for leaves to fall to the ground. 20 leaffall time means 10 minutes.

"It's been too long...Send a team of guards pretending to pass by." Samael Nightsong immediately gave the order.

Kael'thas led a team of elven guards and appeared in the distance on the street in formation. They passed outside the tree hole pretending to be on patrol, then made a circle and returned to the building.

"Elder, there is no sound inside." Kael'thas looked solemn.

"I'm afraid we've been exposed... break in!"

Kael'thas ordered the elven warriors to take out their maple leaf shields and charge into the tree hole in the front. The elven rangers and mages followed closely behind and broke into the empty tree hole.

“Gone…?” Kael’thas looked around.

The night elf elder who followed in looked around and his eyes fell on the thick layer of sawdust on the ground.

"There's a problem under your feet, dig it up."

Several elven wizards cast spells to summon earth elementals and began to dig up the accumulated wood chips and soil entangled with tree roots.

……

A dim light flashed, and Prince Aidan appeared underground where a patch of tree roots hung.

For safety reasons, he hid the broken artifact here.

And Irelanzer's body.

He picked up the shortened handle of the scepter and stared at the halo of light within it. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly raised his head.

The drooping tree roots suddenly trembled, and the soil fell down...

……

The earth element lifted up a large piece of mud. When the mud slid down, revealing the bodies of the elves, the faces of all the elves became extremely ugly.

"continue……"

A deep pit appeared at the bottom of the tree hole. As more and more elf corpses were dug out, Samael Yege's face became more and more ugly.

“We dug into the basement!”

At some point, an elf shouted.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief, which meant there were no more corpses of the same kind.

Kael'thas led the team to the front, holding up the maple leaf shield, and using the dagger in his right hand to pick up a loose tree root at the bottom of the pit.

……

wow-

The soil under the tree roots was lifted up like a carpet, and then a figure jumped in.

When he saw Prince Aidan, he quickly changed his attitude to respectful: "Your Highness, the secret base of the tree hole has been discovered by the elves!"

"Got it. The transmission and clues have been destroyed, right?"

"Don't worry, those logs will never find us."

Prince Aidan lowered his head and continued to stare at the soul trapped in the truncated scepter handle: "You have a good friend. So because of him, I will let you go."

"but not now."
