Alien world

Chapter 1135 Chapter 57. Annan in Ming
Today, the Moon Well is abandoned, with only a few moon elves living there.

"It seems that it can be ruled out."

Kael'thas, who was about to set off for the Moon Well, was stunned: "Why?"

"Haven't you narrowed it down to the messenger? If the murderer could run so far from the heart of the Elf King's Court, it basically means that the murderer is neither human nor a messenger."

Ever since Annan confirmed that the Ancient Tree of Wisdom had a trap, Kael'thas had been taking him into consideration: "So where are we going?"

"I do not know."

Kael'thas was stunned.

Annan spread his hands and said, "I am not from Wilhelm, and I don't know much about the Elf King's Court. I can only teach you the way of thinking."

"Suppose you are a human from the Kingdom of Paem. Out of a desire for revenge, you want to wreak havoc in the Elf King's Court... You first blew up a few giant trees to practice, then set your sights on the Ancient Tree of Wisdom that brought shame to the kingdom. Now, you have set your sights on a place called the Crown of the Old Ones... Where is that?"

"Aipo Highlands?" said an elven wizard who had been listening for a long time in confusion.

Annan quickly asked, "Where is that?"

"The edge of the basin. During the race war, we held a reward ceremony there similar to yours. But I'm not sure..."

“Just have a goal.”

The elves have lived in the Aldor Forest for 40,000 years, and there are countless ruins and old sites. Annan doesn't expect to find them all at once. His current goal is to collect as many clues as possible about the murderer.

Elder Seran ordered all the elves to rush to Aipo Highlands. Annan did not interrupt, he just quietly scanned the elves. At some point, he suddenly said: "Where are you going?"

The elf who was called by Annan turned back in surprise.

Elder Seran said: "You said the murderer came from the Kingdom of Paem. I sent her to inform the Council of Elders and question the Kingdom of Paem."

"Go."

The elf didn't move, but looked towards the elder, and only left after getting permission.

"Human, you saved me..."

When Annan was about to leave, the wise ancient tree, which had been silently watching everything that happened, suddenly spoke.

"It's just a small favor. Did you really not notice anything?"

The wise old tree shook its head: "I am too old, and too dull to feel the villains tampering with my roots..."

As he spoke, the ancient tree of wisdom shook its crown, and a branch fell into Annan's hand.

“With it, you will be blessed by nature.”

Annan looked at the branches wrapped with a strong natural scent and said gratefully, "Thank you."

"I should be the one to say thank you..."

After bidding farewell to the ancient tree of wisdom, Annan followed the elves to the Aipo Highlands.

The elven warriors were swift and the elven rangers could even jump between giant trees. Only Annan was running behind, attracting the surprised gazes of the elven residents.

Seeing this, Elder Seran had no choice but to let Annan ride on an elven dragon.

This beautiful creature is colorful and looks like a lizard with wings and a round head. Although all dragons look like large lizards, elven dragons are more like them, which is related to their body size.

An adult elven dragon is only two to three meters long, not even as big as a war eagle.

Elder Seran asked Kael'thas to ride an elven dragon as well, mainly to protect Annan.

"What's the use of this?" Annan asked Kael'thas while holding the branch of the ancient tree of wisdom.

"Elves love nature. The scent it exudes will make you approached by the elves."

It sounds similar to the World Tree Leaf. Maybe it was because it had been used as fertilizer for the Other World Tree for too long, but Annan's World Tree Leaf had almost lost its natural aura and was only used for communication.

Annan pinned a branch about ten centimeters long to his chest: "It is worthy of being an ancient tree of wisdom. It is smarter than your elf elders." Kael'thas coughed lightly: "Didn't I say..."

"It was my fault for being arrogant to you before." Elder Seran spoke, his face still showing his former handsomeness.
"If you can catch the murderer, I am willing to apologize to you."

"Forget about the apology. My willingness to help means I'm on your side, so just stop being so arrogant and holding me back."

The team soon approached Aipo Heights.

The original buildings still stand here, but as they have been abandoned, they are overgrown with weeds, waist-high bushes and vines climbing up the stone platform.

Combined with the verdant city in the distant basin, it highlights the desolate beauty.

Before they landed, the ranger in front spotted a sneaky figure.

"Follow me!"

The elves chased after it excitedly, and Elder Annan and Elder Seran landed at the place where the figure had previously stayed - a pile of magic scrolls were thrown into a pit that had not been buried in time.

"found it……"

Annan breathed a sigh of relief, watching the elven wizards and rangers riding elven dragons chasing the figure into the Aldor Forest, and paying attention to his surroundings.

Elder Seran was collecting magic scrolls, Kael'thas was looking for the stone tablet everywhere, and Annan was wondering about the attacker's purpose in destroying this place.

Demonstration or provocation?

In any case, once the elves catch the murderer, they will know the truth, as well as the whereabouts of Irelanzer...

After a long time, the elves that had been chasing came back lazily.

"Elder Seran, the murderer has been taken away..." said the leading elven wizard ashamedly.

Annan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that the problem would lie with these elves.

"You actually lost the murderer in your own territory?!" he couldn't help but speak.

The elves were ashamed that the clues Annan had worked so hard to find were wasted by them...

"The attackers set up interference spells on their escape route..."

The Elf King's Court, a behemoth that had been glorious for 40,000 years, was defeated by an attacker, and the murderer escaped right before their eyes... What were those legends and elders doing?
Wait a moment……

Annan suddenly thought of the differences between the old and young factions in the Elf Royal Court.

What if everything that is happening now is deliberately condoned by the old people in order to stir up xenophobia among the elves?

This explains why the "Emerald Lord" can cast a legendary spell that can turn back time, but can't catch a villain who is destroying the Green City...

Annan exhaled a foul breath.

One more question...did Tedel know about this?
Looking at the dejected elves, Annan's anger gradually faded away.

Don’t blame them… I’m afraid at this moment, they are the only ones in the entire royal court who are truly committed to tracking down the attackers.

Annan took the initiative to comfort her: "Look at the bright side, at least we know the murderer has an accomplice."

"How do you know there are accomplices?" Kael'thas asked puzzledly.

Annan looked at him in disbelief: "Martin, is that you?"

"I don't understand what you are saying." Kael'thas frowned, keenly aware that this was not a good thing to say.

"The attacker was picked up. Who do you think picked him up?"

Kael'thas bowed his head in shame.
