Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 387 Dad, I'm the Mistress

If Ji Ming was present, he would have been unable to hold back after hearing Captain Hai's incredible answer.

With your reasoning ability, it would probably be difficult for you to study high school courses with Eleanor. You should quickly sign up for Teacher Ji’s high emotional intelligence class to learn the junior high school part.

But if we start from the perspective of the Nine Sacred Clans, it is normal to come up with such an irrelevant answer.

It is true that the Deep Forest Army's invasion of the Dachun Forest was the direct cause of the destruction of the Holy Tree Kingdom, but this does not mean that the nearby Glowing Kingdom is so clean.

Although the Glowing Kingdom now has a grudge against the Deep Forest, in the early stages of the business, the first Sun King and the Lionheart King were actually brothers-in-law and brother-in-law in secret.

It was because of this relationship that the two heroes were willing to generously divide the entire continent diagonally, divide and rule, and jointly eliminate the various rebel kings, instead of fighting each other to the death like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.

Therefore, even if the elves were in a critical situation, they would not give priority to sending them back to the Deep Forest Kingdom as a sign of "goodwill" for the sake of the relationship between the two sides.

Therefore, if the Church of Holy Light had not cared more about the friendship between it and the elves and the Church of Absolute Cliff during its humble days, it would have taken the initiative to protect and take in some of the refugees.

I'm afraid that there won't be even a single elf to be seen in the main Yangyue continent, and there will be half-elves everywhere for various reasons.

So the question is, since they can no longer stay in the civilized world of the main continent, where should these surviving elves go?

Some chose to go deep into the wilderness and establish small kingdoms that were more like city-states than countries, rising and falling in the storm of war.

Some choose to live in deep mountains and forests, living in seclusion as a legendary mysterious wizard. If Blois had not followed the scent to find the past, he might have become a "dead man in history" long ago.

Others chose revenge, hiding their identities in the human kingdom, constantly taking action for various purposes, and weaving forces in secret.

But for the vast majority of them, when they were extremely anxious and didn't know what the future of their tribe would be, a letter from the Lingxi Kingdom was delivered to them.

The meaning of the letter is very simple - Dad, I am your mistress, please come here and I will be filial to you!
During its heyday, the Holy Tree Kingdom, in addition to the vast and rich main continent, also discovered a sub-continent to the west of the main continent through maritime trade.

There was also an indigenous civilization on the sub-continent at that time, but unfortunately compared to a great empire full of martial virtues, it was like Earthlings seeing the Trisolarans.

Then the elves crushed all the opposing forces with ease, and with their unrivaled strength, they easily became the new masters of this continent.

But as mentioned before, compared to the main continent, the sub-continent is a bit too "poor", and this poverty is all-round for the elves.

They love vast forests and grasslands where they can gallop on horseback, and they also like majestic snow-capped mountains and tranquil and beautiful deep lakes.

But on the sub-continent, there is hardly any flat land. There are endless hills covered with tropical rainforests and waterways everywhere.

In addition to the disgusting narrowness, high heat and humidity, there is a dead desert with almost no plants occupying a large area of ​​​​the land.

and so……

Elf King: "Which noble is willing to share my worries, become the governor of the new world, and educate them to become as civilized as we are?"

Ministers (lowering their heads): You can’t see me, you can’t see me…

There was no other choice, so the elves had to settle for the second best and returned all power to the local kings, allowing them to reincarnate as holy tree nobles on the spot.

As long as they behave themselves, pay the taxes they are supposed to, and show some filial piety to the king on his birthday every ten years, everyone will be fine.

But in its heyday, such a policy of control was certainly very satisfying. The kingdom only had to pay a small price in exchange for high returns and a large piece of territory.

But when the kingdom declined and lost its ruling power, many heroes emerged and became kings and queens. Under the leadership of the local nobles, a united kingdom called Lingxi was established here.

Facing the former rulers, they, who had not experienced war or natural disasters, were relatively friendly. Not only did they send a ship to pick them up, they also allocated a piece of land for them to live in.

In exchange...

If the Deep Forest Kingdom inherited the most fertile land of the Holy Tree, the Glowing Kingdom inherited the artistic attainments of the Holy Tree.

Then Lingxi Kingdom, as the third child of the Holy Family, inherited the most precious legacy of his father.

——Clear Sky Hammer Martial Spirit!

No, it’s the mountains of knowledge that they have lost for a long time but still hoard because of their hamster mentality, especially the ocean part.

The value of this knowledge is self-evident, although successive Lionheart Kings have considered crossing the sea to the west, conquering the Lingxi Kingdom founded by barbarians and establishing a new sacred tree.

But when it comes to sailing, their small sampans really can't beat the enemy's big ships and... crossbows, so they had to give up after paying a terrible price.

Therefore, it is quite normal that Captain Hai subconsciously thinks that the Death Knight might be the Lingxi noble of that time. After all, the elves did receive favors from him back then.

After listening to his story, the little lion scratched his head.

"Is that the reason? Then I vaguely remember... I seem to have participated in the founding of a country."

Captain Hai said firmly.

"Then there's no problem, you must be a Lingxi person!"

The little lion hesitated and pondered for a moment.

"But if I am a Lingxi person, why do I have traces of using Holy Light?"

Captain Hai: Holy shit.

Captain Hai, who was feeling confident and was sighing, "I'm so smart that I can solve the case so easily," choked up.

After thinking for a while, he spoke tentatively.

"Maybe... maybe it's because an elf learned the Holy Light and taught it to you. This is also normal. You see, I am an elf who knows the Holy Light."

"is that so……"

Although the little lion had lost most of his memory, he subconsciously felt that this answer was wrong. However, he did not make any unnecessary rebuttals, but just brushed the matter off.

After all, as a man with a domineering aura, you must learn to control the time of one-on-one communication with others, otherwise it is easy to accidentally delete other people's IQ like the group of ordinary people before.

With Hekmedia's mental fortitude, wisdom value, and level, he can probably last half an hour without being "brainwashed".

Well, there are still twenty minutes left, that should be enough...

After that, Captain Hai, who looked confused, returned to the topic and asked the Death Knight again about what happened in his life.

After getting an answer that could not fill up a page no matter how watered down it was.

"Try to recall as much as possible later. Don't worry, we will judge your merits and demerits objectively."

Since he found nothing, he left with regret and sent the preliminary investigation results to the Church. The reply he received was -

[Everything is going according to the original plan. The team heading north will resume its journey as soon as possible and send the criminals to the Vatican for further examination.]

"clear."

With hundreds of Pegasus Knights as helpers, the people of Fengying Territory also accelerated the progress of dealing with the evil god cultists. After practicing the concept theory of God's Choice in three days, they finally reversed the overwhelming trend of the Shadow Church in Fengying Territory.

But now that the matter was over, Tenis and the others had no reason to stay in Fengying Territory. After a day of packing, they set out on their journey northward.

However, when they were leaving Fengying Territory with the farewell of many knights, a pair of eyes quietly disappeared in the distant mountains and forests where they could not see.

"Report to the Lord, they have set out again and are heading towards the center of the enemy country!"

This was naturally from the spies of the Jungle Church. After seeing the princess finally leave the Earl's sphere of influence, they immediately came to the nearby stronghold to report.

"Got it. Notify all Wood-level envoys to hold a meeting. Let's discuss how to carry out the second assassination."

Even under Ji Ming's instructions, Viper could use the existence of various evil god churches to distract her subordinates, but she could not change the main mission of assassinating the princess.

After delaying for nearly two weeks using the three excuses of "they have just been assassinated and must be on high alert now", "the Chosen One has been assassinated and the entire Earldom is in uproar", and "the Pegasus Knights have arrived and there is an 80% chance that we will fail if we take action now".

She had been urged by her superiors many times. If she didn't take action, her loyalty would be suspected, which would likely lead to her being defeated. So she had no choice but to continue with the assassination.

But this time is different from the last time. This time she has a military advisor, one who can be absolutely trusted and will help her wholeheartedly.

"My Lord, with all due respect, I do not think a puppy can help us kill the princess."

"Shut up, I have the final say here!"

I can only say that he is worthy of being a flower-level messenger. Even though he is the craziest among the group, he looks very majestic as he sits on that chair made of plants, looking down from above and giving orders.

She used a little magic and used a vine to physically shut up the bastard who liked to stare, who looked as crazy as everyone else but was actually sent by the Vatican to monitor her.

As the vines wrapped around his mouth slowly tightened his facial bones, but with just enough force to not take his life, the Viper looked at the werewolf standing in front of him.

"You don't know, but I know it. Do you really think I have been sitting still all this time? In fact, I have already developed an insider and placed him next to the chosen one."

She raised her chin.

"Chloe, please introduce yourself to everyone."

Ah, is it my turn?
Chloe couldn't help swallowing her saliva as she looked at the group of psychopaths around her who spoke in a rhythmic and strange voice and screamed from time to time.

Fortunately, although she had no experience in dealing with psychopaths, she had a lot of experience in pretending to be a dog.

So he immediately pretended to be cowardly, but actually he was very cowardly, and bowed deeply to the poisonous snake.

"My dear elders from the Jungle Church, I am..."

What she confessed was pretty much the truth from the main perspective of the past few days, except that she modified her origin story a bit.

——She is actually a spy trained by the Viper.

Spy Chloe accidentally came into contact with the chosen one named Ji Ming. Due to her professional qualities, she immediately realized that this might be an opportunity to obtain intelligence, so she established a relationship with him in advance.

Recently, after hearing that the Chosen One had left the main force and chosen to go out alone, she took the initiative to step forward and lend a helping hand, becoming his bodyguard, waiting for Lord Viper's order to act.

I didn't expect that after following the God's chosen undercover for several days, I actually got a lot of useful information, including a proposed route for the team to continue its journey northward!

And on this route there happened to be a noble territory that was under the deep control of the Church of the Jungle, and there was also a canyon in this territory, which would be very suitable for an ambush with just a little arrangement.

If I act there... I might be able to take advantage of the chaos and successfully kill the princess!

Unfortunately, although the plan sounds good, good plans may not be feasible, and because of Viper's strange behavior in recent times, it is obvious that everyone is no longer so convinced of her.

Therefore, after Viper finished talking about his plan, someone immediately expressed doubts.

The first to bear the brunt is——

"This is a serious matter, but it's all one-sided! Lord Viper, how can we know whether this werewolf you found is trustworthy?"

After that--

"Sir, do you want to kill the princess by force? Hehe, I don't think we have the ability to defeat the pagan archbishop or something like that."

Finally--

"If we fail, we will most likely be punished by the church. Excuse me, sir, but what guarantees can you give us for success? I think this is a problem for all of us!"

Faced with the doubts from everyone, the venomous snake, which should have been furious, remained silent. Then it suddenly moved like an attacking venomous snake and hit all the wood-level envoys present in the face.

However, those who did not dare to question her just touched the mask.

And those who questioned her, but had some reason, grabbed a handful of the mask.

As for those who questioned her, but whose words were extremely fierce and arrogant, she simply slapped the mask in the face.

Finally, there were those who always liked to complain and were jealous of her being the leader and wanted to get promoted. They did the most things behind her back this time and even reported her to the Pope!

"I just said it, I have the final say here!"

Viper pinned the man to the ground and attacked left and right like a rampaging Yasha, tearing his mask to pieces.

No one dared to stop her, and no one could stop her, because her intentions were obvious.

Even the simplest task of touching the mask would probably take about the same amount of time as stabbing the neck with a poisonous stinger.

In other words, they had just been under the scythe of the Grim Reaper, so what Lord Viper wanted to express was very simple.

——Either you unite around me and kill the princess, which will be good for you, me and everyone else, or I will kill you all in advance and then go and fight the princess myself!

Taking advantage of this madness to let out a sigh of relief, the Viper, whose mental state was not as good as before, did not kill the betrayer.

Instead, in order to avoid any gossip from them, he left a way out for everything and threw the wooden messenger, who was like mud, back to his seat.

"Okay, I think we should be back to a point where we can find a consensus, right?"

The Wood-level envoys nodded quickly.

"We have just rethought it and feel that your plan is perfect. We support you as always!"

The venomous snake's grin was almost a smirk.

"That's not necessary. Everyone can speak freely."

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare..."
