Wizard From Afar

So fast? !

It's been less than half a day since Luca left.

The little wizard with a confused expression looked at the female elf in a daze; Lu Sien, who was leaning behind the door, looked steadily forward, as if he was facing an enemy.

Ashamai and Peter Fasha in disguise are hiding in the corner with hoods, always maintaining vigilance.

The black hair wizard slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and glanced sideways at the female elf, which was obviously pretending to be indifferent.

Tutor Dalton, Judge Victor, Rout Infinit, Edward the Night Watchman-after seeing so many "zombie faces", Loren can already easily tell who is really "faceless" "Who is born with facial paralysis, who is pretending to be.

"Well, now that we have agreed, then we will..."

Just as everyone in the house was about to get up, the female elf suddenly raised her hand and stopped those who wanted to go out. Gray pupil boy.

"What does this mean?" Lu Sien squinted, his eyes sharp as a blade.

"It's not interesting, only Loren Torino was invited, no one else." The female elf unceremoniously replied:

"So, he can only go alone. , The others will stay here for now."

Everyone stopped and turned their eyes to Loren.

"Impossible!" The gray pupil face changed, his voice getting deeper and deeper: "I am the Duke's guard, don't want me to leave Lord Loren for half a step."

"Really? "Liya coldly snorted, glanced at the black hair wizard opposite, "overlooking" Lu Sien: "Try it, little carrot head?"

"Or, you are also like some bossed Like shamelessly's'man', using the pretense of'not hitting a woman', pretending that you can beat me, stinky kid?"

An unabashed provocation.

The gray pupil face doesn't change, his forearm is taut, his temple is violently vigorous: "You are not the first to laugh at my height, nor will you be the last, as for women. , I can give you two on one foot..."

"Liya, that's enough." Loren lightly sighed:

"I will go with you alone, this Head office, right?"

The female elf who ignored him turned her head and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the black hair wizard who had been procrastinated for a long time before she agreed.

Under the gaze of the gray-eyed teenager, the female elf walked out of the room with helpless Loren like a winner.

"Liya!"

In the room, the voice of the little wizard caught the female elf's footsteps.

Loren looked at the female elf in amazement, and found that her shoulders trembling slightly with her back to the door, as if she was desperately restraining her emotions.

"Tell me, Liya." Ai Yin didn't notice this, staring at the female elf's back, softly opened the mouth and said: "You won't hurt Loren, will you?"

It was quiet for half a minute, as if time had frozen.

Not only the black hair wizard, but also Peter and Lucien are faintly aware that there is something wrong.

Halinvan Achamai, who hid his gaze under the brim of his hood, looked at his apprentice with amusement, and then looked at the female elf outside the door with a blank look The black hair wizard curled up his mouth as if thinking back to something in the past.

"Don't worry, Ain; if I want to kill this trick... Lord Duke;" the female elf said like gnashing teeth: "It must be in front of you, use long spear Stabb him to death!"

The voice fell, and Liya walked away as if she was busy, as if she had lost one's head out of fear.

Loren, who looked ignorant, could only shake his head, and followed her closely.

Compared with the scene in the memory, the Morning Star Forest in front of him has to kill a lot.

The elf girl who didn't clean up the orchard, the mushrooms, the young warrior who didn't practice the battle skill among the branches...the empty settlement, you can only see the war dancers patrolling around.

There are no women and children, old people and children, and even very few women...except for this one who walks in front of him.

Where did they all go?

"What are you looking at?" The female elf, who noticed the "absent-minded" person behind her, turned her head coldly snorted.

"Oh, nothing." Turning back immediately, a smile appeared on the black hair wizard's face: "Just waiting, when you are willing to tell me."

"Tell you what "

"Tell me why you lied to me."

"..."

"You are too impatient, Liya." Loren smiled Undiminished, looking at the female elf with a stiff expression: "Luca has just left for less than half a day. If you want to change it to me, if you want to do it, you have to wait until night."

dark and windy night, it's good...cough cough cough.

"It doesn't matter, I didn't intend to hide it from you anyway."

Although she said very frankly, the female elves did not forget to watch all around vigilantly, and her voice was so small that only the one behind her To the extent that a big liar can hear:

"You really shouldn't have come at this time, Loren."

Black hair wizard tired sighed: "You are not the first to say this Sentence."

"Oh, it seems that there is more than one-besides Ain and the others, who else cares about you so much?" The female elf eyebrows raised, still asking anger:

"The female relative who'inherited' the family property when you inherited it?"

"pu ————!!!!!!"

Loren OK Risk squirted out.

Ruvin Fried... he really has the urge to choke this carefree now, and he has no urge to stop the guy!

The female elf tilted her head, her emerald green eyes seemed to be still looking at the black hair wizard, her expression full of suspicion.

"Just tell me, Liya." Suffocating the desire to roll his eyes, the black hair wizard sighed softly opened the mouth and said: "What is the purpose of calling me out by myself?"

"There is no reason, just let you get out of here, go back to your Byrne and that...Charlotte!" The female elf seemed to think for a long time before remembering what Ruben said. That name:

"The Morning Star Forest is not where you should be, and it has nothing to do with you; the situation here is not something you can change, understand — don’t believe oneself infallible, you do everything No more!"

The hasty words are almost incoherent.

"Isn't this not necessarily?" Loren raised his mouth, looking at her anxious expression: "The battle of Yongyelin, the sewers of Eboden...Every time someone tells me that you are Bring about one's own destruction, and then?"

The female elf did not refute him this time, but stopped and looked around vigilantly for a week.

Huh?

This is finally going to tell me...eh? !

Before the black hair wizard laughed, Liya grabbed the collar and lifted it and knocked it down on the wall of the wood house behind her.

"One of the things I hate you the most is your unfathomable mystery self-confidence." The female elf's right hand turned over, and the sharp dagger pressed against his jaw:

"Listen to me, now go back and tell you that the group of people and Ain them, you and our Elders did not talk to each other, then go back to your Byrne and that Charlotte, for the rest of your life Don’t come back anymore!"

"Yes, but you have to tell me what happened." Smiling Loren and the female elf stared at each other, still not letting go: "Or , At least give me a reason?"

"Just one, I don't want to see you again!" The vicious Liya stared wide-eyed, and the dagger in her hand was pushed hard.

It's really unreasonable as always...

"Then you should know that if I return without success, the next step is not a mission, but an empire. The army is here." Loren's expression became serious:

"You have been to Eboden, and you have seen how the Empire’s Legion broke through the city gate, and you have seen how the dragon that spreads its wings and ripped the monster into the sky. Fragments, I have seen how soldiers in armor turned half of a city into a sea of ​​blood!"

"It was just a Legion, a giant dragon—tell me, Liya, do you really want those scenes to be staged again in the Morningstar Forest, in the east and even in the entire ancient wood forest?!"

The female elf shook all over, and the dagger in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"Do you really want to see the ancient wood forest burned to ashes in the sea of ​​blood on the dead mountain?!" Loren stared at her firmly: "If you don't want to, just tell me why—because The purpose of my coming is to try my best to prevent this from happening."

"I don’t want what I failed to prevent, to happen again!"

The female elf stared at him, her hand holding the sharp blade trembling uncontrollably.

After five seconds of staring at each other, she finally lowered her head slowly.

"It's useless, it's too late..." Liya whispered, her voice with unspeakable pain: "It's too late, it's too late for you to come..."

"What's too late?!"

The black hair wizard can feel that he is about to find the truth!

But Liya just shook her head desperately, never opening her mouth, and she didn't even want to look up at him-but the more she was like this, the more convinced Loren she was that she was approaching the answer step by step.

He is ready to take a little risk.

"Is it... something to do with an elf from the Azores kingdom?"

At that second, Loren could clearly feel the dagger against his jaw, almost piercing himself through his throat. !

Sure enough, I guessed it right.

The black hair wizard's expression remained unchanged, but he kept thinking about the connection between these two things in his heart.

Three years ago, a group of Azores destroyed the empire’s ocean-going fleet;

Three years later, a ship from the Kingdom of Azores appeared along the coastline of the empire In the north of the ancient wood forest.

Where is the connection point between the two things?

Where, which thing I have accidentally ignored, and which thing I don’t know yet?

From the mouth of Harlem Van Assamah, it can be known that at least at the beginning of the eleventh generation, the elves did not know anything about the empire, or at most, like the empire, they knew that there was such a Country only.

What kind of changes in Heaven and Earth turning upside down appeared in the middle, which began to make the elves of the West of the Sea of ​​Mist become interested in the Sackland Empire?

"I don’t want to interfere with the things of the elves. This is your land. Anything you want to do is your freedom; I came to prevent a disaster, something that shouldn’t have happened. Disaster... No matter the ancient wood forest or the deep forest, Lothar or the empire, I must have..."

"Stop asking!"

The female elf interrupted him sharply.

"Don't ask, don't ask...I won't say it, I, I can't say it." Liya, who lifted the head tremblingly, had a sad expression: "I am...Morning Star Lin, the war dancer of the ancient wood forest, I, I can't...betray my compatriots."

The voice fell, she retracted her dagger, turned her back to Loren, and no longer faced his eyes. .

The black hair wizard sighed.

Lia...Don’t you tell me this is how it is?

Loren feels like he can guess seven or eight points.

Block the ancient wood forest, cut off communication with the deep forest and the outside world, and gradually integrate from scattered settlements into a unified ancient wood forest elves...

All the things that happened in the past six months , Both have a great relationship with the Azores!

Wait a minute.

The stunned Loren suddenly guessed something and his expression froze.

This matter, Eckhardt II of the Sky Palace...Does he know?

The ocean-going fleet was killed, the Azores elven ship suddenly appeared, plus the abnormal movement of Lothar border and ancient wood forest-if he knew all of these, then he must let himself The purpose of the mission is definitely not just because "knowledge of the elves of the ancient wood forest".

Eckhardt II...Isn't he trying to use his own hand to provoke the elves of the ancient wood forest against the elves from the Azores kingdom? !

"Hey, Loren, why are you...why this expression."

Perceiving the black hair wizard's pale complexion and trance-looking look, Liya frowned: "And what do you understand? Say it again, give up, I will never tell you!"

"You will stay with that Charlotte, and your children, Ayin and the others are called Byrne Never come back again!"

"..."Loren ·Torino.

He really wants to, very much, especially want to choke a certain carefree, nonsense Deep Limburg Count!

Just as the black hair wizard resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and prepared to explain to the female elf that these were all Ruben’s ghost talk, when he was innocent, Luca came from behind. the sound of.

"Your Excellency Loren, you have been waiting for a long time."

The female elf who heard the sound turned her head immediately, looking at the gentle middle-aged elf in panic, carrying her hands behind her back. Looking at the two of them, their expressions were very calm.

"Luca?!"

The female elf swallowed hard and took a half step back towards the black hair wizard subconsciously.

Obviously...Although she has already taken over the position of the leader of the Morning Star Forest War Dancer from the opponent, Liya will still instinctively respect the opponent, even faintly afraid.

"I, I am not..."

"Thank you, Liya." Luca didn't say much, but gave her a gentle glance: "Here That's it, let me take care of the rest."

The female elf who didn't dare to say anything could only stand aside, her eyes constantly moving between the two.

"After discussing your proposal, the elders of Morningstar Forest decided to agree to you." Luca turned his gaze to the black hair wizard again: "If you want, you can go now."

p>

"Where to go?" Loren asked casually.

"Northern settlement." Luca replied:

"Misty Moon Court."
