Chapter 262 Start

"Now, let's have a good talk, you give me what I want, and I will let you leave with dignity, how about that?"

After holding down the beholder, Tang Zhao tried to negotiate with the other party, hoping to get some useful information.

"I really want to tell you, Lord Carlos, but I don't know anything, hahahaha!!"

Following the other party's wild laughter, Tang Zhao tilted his head.

"Who transmitted this disease to you."

The beholder's main eye stared at him: "I'm pretty sure now Mr. Carlos, your ability definitely doesn't come from the blood of the dragon, but something weirder, much weirder than us magical creatures. I I really want to tell you something, but I don't know anything, I'm just working for someone."

"To be blunt, who is that person?"

"This is more complicated, I can't tell"

Just when he wanted to inquire further, he suddenly felt a burst of burning heat coming from under his claws, and he was startled. He only had time to turn his head around and use his body to protect his head, so as not to let his relatively fragile eyes and nose touch it. Against the beholders, there was a violent explosion that completely collapsed the entire underground space, and the tavern sank into the ground.
-
Ten minutes later, as the crowd of onlookers slowly gathered, a claw suddenly protruded from the ground, and the surrounding villagers immediately ran away in fright.

After the claws came the head and body. Soon Tang Zhao pulled his whole body out of the soil and began to observe the wounds on his body.

Generally speaking, the claws blocked most of the damage, only the scales on the claws were damaged, and even the tip of one claw was slightly broken, but it was not a particularly serious wound. His body was no longer at the level of a normal creature. , there is no doubt that even though the explosion just now caused him great pain, that was all. At most, some burns would be added, which would not affect the battle.

He really didn't expect the beholder to use the self-explosion trick, and he didn't want to hurt the opponent's life now, but judging from the opponent's state, he should have been manipulated by others to explode.

[Basically there is no new news, it needs to be combined with previous news]

The beholder should have gone to the north, which is the direction of hobgoblins and orcs. Until just now, it appeared in the southern elf kingdom intact. According to Tang Zhao's thinking, it must have something to do with those orcs or hobgoblins. They do have reasons to prevent the bridging of the relationship between the elves. This is not a good thing for them. Once the southern elf kingdom participates in the current war between the hobgoblins and the elves, it will be very difficult for the hobgoblins.

【In addition to hobgoblins, humans are also very suspicious.】

The masterminds are not necessarily the Oran people, because they have a deep cooperation with the elves, but it is difficult for people from other countries to say, maybe they don’t think the elves are good, or they don’t think hobgoblins or orcs are too weak. In short, check and balance this kind of Things can be regarded as a good reason.

He blatantly wandered around the village for a while, but didn't find any clues that could help him, so it was considered broken here.

He had no choice but to go back and continue his previous mission, which was to attend the meeting of the elves.

It's just that he really regrets that he didn't bring soldiers here. If there are hundreds or thousands of men, the situation will be much easier. If he is alone, he can only deal with some problems that can be solved with brute force.

He has never been to the country of the elves, nor has he had a detailed understanding of the terrain, so he can only tell the approximate direction and location, but this is enough, because further south is a vast and endless dense forest, the scale of which is larger than that of the The one of Sura or the Westland Elves is much larger, as are the number of elves that inhabit it.

Waiting quietly on the edge of the forest, a group of falcon cavalry picked him up two hours later and headed to the city of the elves.

Different from his kindred, this is a large port city built by the sea—a deep-water port, contiguous shipyards and arsenals, high white stone walls, and sophisticated traditional elf buildings. Everything you can find in this place.

Tang Zhao had a detailed understanding of the history of the elves. This is one of the few major cities where the elves were not affected after continuous wars. In the later history, after continuous expansion, it became a very spectacular city. , apart from those ancient ruins, this is one of the few places where you can feel the atmosphere of the ancient elf empire.

According to the elves themselves, at the beginning of the war, many people who opposed the civil war fled to the islands outside the mainland, where they avoided the war and established a brilliant elf country, but there has been no formal contact between the two for a long time After that, the estrangement is probably not much better than the several parties after the war.

However, outside the bustling buildings, his elf residents also sincerely reminded him to be careful of the elf nobles here, many of them still retain the old ideas and styles.

The reason why the half-elf Guinivia came to find Tang Zhao in person was also because of this kind of thing. If it wasn't because of her special status, this matter would be even more difficult.

The falcon cavalry did not land in the city, but landed in a special camp outside the city, and then changed to the deer cart prepared for Tang Zhao. From the mount to the decoration, it felt like Santa Claus's sleigh cart, which made Tang Zhao much A little uncomfortable.

The deer cart did not go straight to the embassy or the hotel, but to a courtyard in the city. Tang Zhao also knew the person in the courtyard, the half-elf Guinivia who contributed to this matter, but at this time she was standing Behind the few elves, it is obvious that their status is higher.

"I'm sorry I can't salute anymore, let's replace it a little bit." Tang Zhao lowered his head to the ground, which is a way for some creatures in nature to express friendliness and non-hostility.

"It's okay, it's a great honor for His Excellency Carlos to come here in person."

After a long elf-like politeness, we just entered the theme.

In short, they just want Tang Zhao to support their proposal, which is to use a method to heal the wounds between the elves, and then send troops to help the western elves who are being harassed by hobgoblins.

"Of course there is no problem, but I suggest that you should be more careful. My followers should have told you about it. I went to investigate the assassins myself, and indeed found something."

Tang Zhao recounted the incident, and then scratched the floor with his paws a little: "That's it, I suggest that you better prepare early, it may be war, assassination or other means, and you should make things this far It will definitely not be the end, but the beginning."
