Alien world

Chapter 1136 Chapter 58. The King's Court in the Dark
Whether for Irelanze or for the sake of the alliance... the attackers' plot must be thwarted.

"Look carefully, there should be new stone tablets."

The attackers were a group… that’s both a bad thing and a good thing.

The downside is that it is harder to judge their intentions based on their style of operation. The upside is that the attackers have varying levels of skill, making it easier to find a breakthrough.

Kael'thas and the elves turned the Aipo Highlands upside down, and when the sky gradually turned orange, they found the stone tablet that had been buried underground in advance.

"An immortal witness, a cross of convergence, a temple of spirit, and a gorgeous sunset will ignite the dreams of every elf."

Annan translated them: "Legend has witnessed that there is a cross-shaped sign, a symbol of honor, which will burn brightly in the eyes of all elves at dusk..."

"The ancient tree of knowledge!" Kael'thas blurted out.

"What's that?"

"All elves who reach adulthood will receive blessings there..."

Annan looked to the west, where the dusk was giving birth to an orange sunset glow. "Then we should set off quickly. The attackers may not have enough time to notify their accomplices."

They still had a chance to catch the attacker.

And Annan can once again receive the blessing of the ancient tree of knowledge.

……

There was a flash of light, which stirred up a pile of fallen leaves, and the shocked attacker appeared in a tree hollow.

"Your Highness, your friend almost caught me..."

He and the other figure in the tree hole said to him with their backs to each other.

Prince Aidan whispered, "Annan is very smart. He pointed his finger at the Kingdom of Paem as soon as he arrived. Those stupid elves haven't found the clues I deliberately left until now."

"But he has destroyed our arrangements twice in a row..."

"Got it, where is the new arrangement?"

"The Elf Library. Destroying it will cause the elves pain for a long time." The attacker hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Prince Aidan turned around.

The attacker said: "I feel like the elves are cooperating with us... There is only this elf team tracking us. But if we destroy the library, they will definitely look for us like crazy..."

Prince Aidan did not deny it, but simply said, "I know what you are thinking...but will just burning some big trees make them hostile to the kingdom?"

“What is the purpose of the ideal state?”

The attacker straightened his body quickly: "Break the old constraints and rules..."

“Just go ahead and do it.”

"Yes!"

"But please withdraw the library's layout."

Prince Aidan said to the confused attacker: "My friend is indeed a trouble. Let's make sure he doesn't get in our way first..."

……

Tidel put away the leaves of the World Tree and went out to the Elders' Council, ready to warn the elders to take the attackers seriously.

"Lord Tedder!"

The loyal elven guard stood up straight.

Taidel gave the guard a charming smile and walked out of the flower garden.

When she was about to enter the flower garden, she suddenly reacted.

"wrong……"

The time she spent with Annan was neither too much nor too little. Most of the time, they communicated through the leaves of the World Tree.

But based on her understanding of Annan...how could he become so honest?

Tidel picked up the leaf of the World Tree and was about to ask Annan when an elf ranger came from a distance.

"Lord Tedder!"

"what happened?"

"Have you asked Annan Reeves to leave the Emissary Village?"

Taidel smiled bitterly in his heart. Sure enough, Annan didn't stay there honestly...

"What did he do?"

The elven guard told Taidel what Annan had done on the way here. To her relief, Annan did a great job. "They just left Aipo Highlands and are heading towards the Ancient Tree of Knowledge."

"...Yes, I asked him to do it. He is a human being, maybe he has some special ideas." Taidel endorsed Annan.

"But this is against the rules, Ted." A figure walked out of the flower garden.

Taidel looked at him quietly.

"There are no rules. Every elf wants to catch the murderer who destroyed the royal court as soon as possible, right... Elder Ares?"

……

The team left Aipo Highlands and rushed towards the Ancient Tree of Knowledge at full speed.

Suddenly, a figure appeared among the elf rangers jumping among the ancient trees.

"Redel, where did you go just now?" a female elf came over and asked.

"I was unwilling to give up, so I walked around in the forest again." said the male elf named Redel.

"This is too risky." The female elf said with concern.

"That would be better. If I were killed, it would mean the murderer is hiding in the forest."

Arriving at the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, I saw another face with crisscrossed grooves growing on the same tall and thick trunk as the Ancient Tree of Wisdom.

Elder Seran stood in front of the ancient tree and explained the situation. Then the elves began to evacuate the elves who were blessing the surrounding area and excavate the roots of the surrounding trees.

Annan kept staring at the sky. The orange-yellow clouds gradually turned into orange-red... They didn't have much time. They dug deep pits around the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, but still didn't find anything.

Did they arrive too early? Or was it a mistake? Or was it that the attackers stopped for the time being...

"Kael'thas!"

Annan called back to the elf captain who had gone to dig the pit himself: "Besides the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, where else can you find something that meets the conditions in the preview?"

“This is the only place that fits the bill.”

Kael'thas said, but at this time, Annan noticed that an elven ranger not far away raised his head and seemed to want to say something.

"You know?" he asked quickly.

The elven ranger looked hesitantly at Kael'thas.

"Tell him, Ryder."

The elf ranger named Redel nodded: "Could the converging cross point to a fork in the road..."

"where is that?"

"The Elven Library."

The elves around all stopped moving and looked over here.

"what happened?"

Annan, who didn't know the importance of the Elf Library in the hearts of the elves, was stunned.

"How dare they!?" Kael'thas clenched his fists and whispered in hatred from his throat.

"Calm down, Kael'thas." Elder Seran came over. "The Great Library is guarded by the Elven Dragon Master. The attackers dare not attack there."

But his expression was one of worry.

The Elven Library is really important. Even if the attackers only make some noise from a distance, it is a humiliation to the Elven King's Court...

"It's too late..."

Annan looked at the sunset that dyed the entire western sky red.

"Let's notify the Council of Elders!" said Redel.
"You know, we're...ok."

Elder Seran seemed to want to say something, but finally kept his mouth shut.

He raised the staff wrapped with vines, closed his eyes, and milky white light gradually spread around him.

The branches of the ancient tree of wisdom made Annan vaguely sense that some omnipresent natural force had descended and was communicating with Elder Seran...

Annan was even more certain that the Elf Royal Court "had the ability to deal with the attackers but did not do so."

After a moment, Elder Seran opened his eyes.

"The Council of Elders already knows about it. Let's go over there."
