Alien world

Chapter 1133 Chapter 55. The Royal Court ruined Annan's holiday

Understanding does not mean agreement.

Irelanze is a member of the elves, so naturally he has to take responsibility, which is understandable. But Annan had to maliciously speculate why the royal court sent Irelanze, who was familiar to him.

"I need to know what's going on now."

Annan's tone was no longer as cheerful as before. Apparently realizing that he would lose this human friend if he kept it a secret, Teddel spoke candidly about the discovery of "Dark Night" and the reason why Irelanze was temporarily recruited.

"It was just an accident, no one targeted you on purpose."

"I see……"

"install--"

Before Taidel could finish his words, Annan put away the leaves of the World Tree.

We can’t wait for the elves to solve it themselves…

Annan was clearly aware of this.

Again, the elves have been at peace for too long. They may be able to find the murderer who caused destruction in the Green City, Annan has no doubt about it... but how long will it take?
The longer it drags on, the slimmer the chances that Irelanzer is still alive.

Annan wanted to save people in his own way. The first was the most useful summoning technique.

The token that Irilanze left with Annan included her flower basket. Annan used the flower basket as a medium to perform summoning magic.

The magic power constructed a spell, but no magic circle emerged...

Annan's heart sank to the bottom.

This usually only means three things... the basket isn't Irelanzer's medium, she's not in the Prime plane, and "there are changes in vital signs."

The former can be ruled out. As for the latter two...Dela was also like this at the beginning, but she was taken away by the succubus, so she may still be alive.

Maybe Irelanze is imprisoned in another plane? She is a great wizard, and only plane magic can trap her...

Annan had to seize the tiny chance and could not pin his hopes on the elves; he had to act on his own.

But Annan is no longer the barefoot person he was when he first arrived in the North. He has a large family and friends behind him.

He told his family first, and Olmedo and Itilia expressed their support after listening.

If it were an ordinary force, they would probably advise Annan to form an alliance, not to act rashly, and to trust the elves...

But the people on Annan's side have similar personalities to him to some extent.

"Just do it. Don't worry about the elves... you are helping them. Even if they don't appreciate it... it's not your fault." The eldest sister said gently, so that Annan would not feel burdened.

"understood."

With the support of his family and friends, Annan no longer has to worry about the consequences of doing so.

On the afternoon of the third day of the Elf Celebration, Annan was ready to go. Before leaving, he seemed to have a sense of something and took out the leaf of the World Tree.

"Annan, are you there?"

"I'm here."

Hearing Annan's voice, Taidel relaxed: "Don't worry, we will find Irelanze as soon as possible."

"Really? That's great..."

Annan suddenly became easy to talk to, which surprised Taidel: "You are not angry?"

"Angry? How could that be... The Elf King's Court was attacked, and you are the most anxious ones. I am just an outsider."

"That was not what I meant……"

"I know, I'm just stating a fact. You are more anxious than me."

"I'm glad you think so... I didn't mean to hide it from you before... Don't worry, I will tell you the result immediately."

"Thank you, Ted."

"nothing……"

After putting away the leaves of the World Tree, Annan went out and went straight to the elf guards outside the wooden house village.

"Teddel is looking for me." Annan showed the leaf of the World Tree to the elven guard who was blocking his way.

The elf guard hesitated, and Annan handed over the World Tree Leaf expressionlessly: "You come and talk to her?"

"Since Elder Taidel is looking for you, please go over..."

Teddel's reputation in the Elf King's Court far exceeded that of ordinary elders. The elven guard officer had no doubts and made way.

Annan put away the leaves of the World Tree, nodded to him, and walked out of the Messenger Village.

The elven guard watched Annan disappear around the corner of the street.

"Do you want to follow?" asked an elf ranger.

The elf guard shook his head and said, "Finn, go and tell Elder Taidel."

"it is good."

……

After leaving the sight of the elven guards, Annan's pace suddenly quickened as he rushed towards the direction of the third explosion in his memory.

As he got closer, Annan saw a lot of elves and vigilant guards gathered in front of him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s good that we’re not too late… otherwise we’ll have to wait for the fourth explosion.

"Humanity?"

Annan's approach quickly attracted the attention of the guards. They were suspicious and pointed their bows at Annan.

Annan raised the leaf of the World Tree and shouted, "I am Annan Reeves. I have been entrusted by Elder Taidel to help you investigate the attackers!"

"Is Elder Samael Nightsong here?"

The arrow aimed at Annan did not move away. Soon, Kael'thas came over and said, "Samael Nightsong is being punished in the Elders' Council... Will you help us?"

"Is there a problem?"

"we do not need."

Having died once, Kael'thas lost his innocence, replaced by the iron blood that only a true warrior possesses.

However, the iron-blooded warrior Annan had seen this many times in his own legion, and was indifferent: "If it weren't for Elder Taidel's request, do you think I would be willing to take care of your business?"

He could have leisurely enjoyed the celebration, met a lot of emissaries, and finally returned to the Free City with glory and the Covenant - the Elf King's Court ruined his vacation.

Kael'thas looked at the World Tree Leaf in Annan's hand. He did not doubt Annan's mission, but only doubted whether Annan could accomplish it...

After all, only Elder Taidel has the right to give the leaves of the World Tree to foreign races...

"Then come in... before it's dusk," Kael'thas said, leading Annan into the scene.

"Kael'thas, why did you bring a human in?"

An elf elder standing next to the burnt giant tree spoke in a low voice.

Annan sensed his strong hostility and said directly, "I am too lazy to explain it again. Let's hurry up: the attacker is a human, so use human thinking to reason. The murderer set up a puzzle at the crime scene, which means that the murderer enjoys committing crimes."

"Enjoy crime?"

Kael'thas didn't have time to explain to the elders as his attention was drawn by Annan's words.

"That's right. If a normal attacker only wanted to cause damage, he could have said nothing and just done it. The damage he caused would have been far worse than what he did now. He left you a puzzle, which means that the murderer is eager to play a game with you."

"What was the puzzle of the first two explosions?"

"Only one: In the shadow of the old land, death waits to bloom."

"Old location, wait... So a second explosion happened a few minutes later at the same location. What's the puzzle this time?"

Kael'thas said quickly: "In the land of conflict pointed by the setting sun, a new crisis is waiting for an opportunity..."

"The setting sun refers to the time... the land of strife refers to the location... the new crisis refers to the new attack."

The elves also knew this. The elven elder had a gloomy face and said, "But we can't find the place of dispute."
