Wizard From Afar

Ancient wood forest, misty moon court.

After experiencing the farce of "hands slipping" that night, Wuyue Court experienced a lot of turmoil up and down-although in a sense, this can be considered inevitable matter.

Yes, Wuyueting is the largest settlement in the northern forest, and it may even be the largest and most prosperous one in the ancient wood forest, but after all, it is just an elf settlement...self-sufficient, closed and remote This is her greatest characteristic;

It cannot be equated with the morning star forest, which has to deal with ogre harassment all year round and gather hundreds or even thousands of war dancers.

A large search for "foreign assassins", subtle differences in customs and behavior, and the conflicts and differences that occurred in the past due to small things in the settlements, all broke out at this moment.

It took two days for the hustle and bustle of the Wuyue Court and the Elders from various settlements to finally settle the sound of the commotion, without even having the time to take care of the imperial mission that was about to arrive.

When they finally have time, the war dancers in the misty moon court in front report that the imperial mission that came with the second batch of morning star forest war dancers is only two days away. .

In a hurry, the Elders who have no time to prepare can only arrange for the war dancers of the Morning Star Forest-after all, the only ones who have ever dealt with humans-to be in charge of reception, while the remaining elven war dancers Responsible for vigilance, to ensure the safety of the imperial missions, but also to monitor them to ensure that they will not cause commotion in the settlement.

This is also the contradiction of the ancient wood forest elves. On the one hand, they don’t have any good feelings about the empire. On the other hand, they are unwilling to provoked the troubles and caused the war between the two sides, which dragged on for so long. Did not make up his mind.

During this period, there were also contradictions between the eastern and northern forests. The elves headed by Barren Tomb Forest were dissatisfied with the "believe oneself infallible" of Wuyue Court and the "change of customs and customs" of Morning Star Forest, thinking that only They are the real "war dancer elves".

The dispute between the Elders also gave Lucala a chance to get supporters; the only thing that surprised him was that he should have been "jumping up and down" during this period of time, provoking the dispute between the elves and the empire. The Azorean spirit was exceptionally quiet during this time.

As for another "accident", there is no trace of a black hair wizard so far...

sighed, Luca standing under the gate of Wuyue Court looks up; not far away There, a team holding an iron crown and a black-bottomed Golden Lion appeared at the end of the jungle path, surrounded by the dancers in the morning star forest, slowly coming.

But what caught Luka's most attention was that the leader in this team was not Loren Torino, but Ayn.

In the whole team, there is still no silhouette of the black hair wizard.

In other words, Loren has not left, is still in the settlement of Wuyueting?

The absurd idea came to Luca’s mind, and he shook his head inexplicably--the entire settlement, nearly a thousand war dancers went up and down, and there was no clue. turn up.

Although Luca thinks it’s impossible to think about it, the fact is that Loren Torino is not in this mission, and in just a few days, he is also impossible to go back and forth between the two settlements without being noticed. .

What does he want to do?

With a mind full of questions, Luca, who is composure, walks forward to greet Liya and the little wizard entire group.

"Thanks for your hard work, Liya."

"It's just a matter of fact, I don't need this." The female elf with her little nose is lightly snorted, turning her head and looking towards Lu The Wuyue Court behind Ka:

"How about that...person...?"

"Is missing." The middle-aged elf pretended to lament and shook his head: "It's good. For a few days, there was still no news."

"Oh."

Luca laughed blankly. Although the female elf answered casually, her shoulders shook visibly just now.

The little man who follows closely from behind the wizard entire group curiously looked at this misty moon court, which is very different from the Morning Star Forest or even any elven settlement style.

Of course, there are also the ancient wood forest elves who come to watch the mission as if they are crowded on both sides of the gate and the path.

Although Wuyueting has never had any contact with the empire, the hostility to the empire is much stronger than that of Chenxinglin; a pair of pairs are either indifferent, or hostile eyes shot from all directions Then, Lu Sien nervously pressed the hilt of his waist, and the Byrne Knights who were accompanying on both sides also tightened their heartstrings, not daring to slack in the slightest.

"Maintain order and don't block the road!" Luca, who was walking in the front of the team, led the war dancers of the Morning Star Forest to clear the way, and shouted to the elven warriors in the settlements on both sides:

"They are the messengers of the empire, but also the guests of the Wuyueyuan and the entire ancient wood forest-elves, when have they become unkind to guests?!"

hearing This warrior is no longer slacking off, desperately blocking the elves who want to squeeze toward the center of the road outside the street.

"Why are they so hostile to us?"

Although they are not ignorant of the elves, they look at the misty moon court with anger on both sides. Elf, the little wizard still feels a little inexplicable: "This is the first time the empire has sent someone to the Wuyue Court."

"The first time I came, I was threatened with a sword." The female elf in front coldly said coldly, her tone of dissatisfaction with no concealment: "Instead of you, what kind of face will you give to the guy who comes without saying hello?"

The little wizard lowered aggrievedly Lu Sien squinted his head and glared at the female elf.

"Leah, do you think we did something wrong..."

"No matter what you do, it's the big liar's fault!"

The female elf hurriedly turned her head and looked towards the front, hurriedly argued: "Four days ago, an assassin from a foreign race was mixed into the misty moon court.

War dancers from the entire ancient wood forest, in I searched the settlement for four full days, and found no results. In the end, I could only rush and say it was an accident-Luca told me when I came."

Ai Yin looked stunned. .

Although the female elf didn't say it clearly, the answer is already obvious.

Can quietly mix into the misty moon court, and still leave no clues under the search of nearly a thousand dancers-besides a certain black hair wizard, who else?

"It's all the big liar's fault!" The female elf repeated it again, as if the only way to vent her anger.

Compared with a female elf who is full of hatred on her face but is actually worried, the little wizard's eyes have a touch of worry.

"What's the matter?" The gray pupil who was faintly aware turned his head and asked with concern: "Is it uncomfortable?"

"No, it's not this, it's... …" Ai Yin, who wanted to speak but stopped, shook his head vigorously and stopped speaking.

Loren...he hasn't appeared yet.

This also means that when facing Elder, the spirit of the ancient wood forest, he must come forward and negotiate with each other on his behalf, shoulder the responsibility of establishing friendship between the two parties, and at least let each other No longer hostile.

I must listen to each other’s complaints, I must clarify the truth about the hostility between the ancient wood forest and the empire, I must maintain the fragile peace at the moment, and I must let everyone listen to my voice.

If it fails, the empire and the ancient wood forest may meet each other, maybe the morning star forest will be swallowed by flames, maybe my hometown of deep forest will become a battlefield, maybe Lothar, Byrne , The entire empire will be involved!

Companions fallen in a pool of blood, friends met by swordsmen, burning memories...

The little wizard does not worry about his failure. As an alchemist, failure will do to her It has long been a habit; what she really worries about is the consequences of failure.

She can't afford it.

The head hangs on his chest, vainly concealing the trembling pupils.

"...eliminate barriers, trust each other, let go of scruples and disputes..."

"...no one is worthless, you can use the most ordinary things, Impress thousands of elves and make them want to die for you once; I can’t do it, no one can do it..."

Sincere and trusting words, in Ai Yin Echoed in his ears.

"Really...can it be done?"

"Yes!"

A sudden voice came.

The astonished little wizard lifts the head and found that the female elf walking in front turned her head and was looking at herself intently.

"Li, Liya? Could it be that I, I just..."

"You don't need to know what you're talking about, it's all written on your face." Female elf lightly snorted , "Tsk tsk" sighed: "You guy, the biggest problem is that you are too unconfident!"

"Huh?!"

Ayin looked inexplicable.

"Always frightened, always worried that I can't do it, and if I do, I worry that I can't do it well." As if thinking of something, the female elf stared at the little wizard in a daze: "Because of this, You will always be bullied by that big liar!"

"I..."

"In the final analysis, it's Ain. You are so unconfident—obviously very innate talent. , But always to accommodate this big liar, you will only be bullied by him like this, the worse."

The female elf shook her head and continued: "This big liar is like a catharsis. Unlike you, he is very, very and extremely confident; so if you don’t resist, he will feel that he has done it right!"

"You have to fight with him and tell him what you want What you don’t want, what you like and what you don’t like; you have to make him think you are important, not something like his... accessory!"

The little wizard looked startled, completely speechless. right.

"And this time, no matter what sly plan he is playing, he has obviously made him impossible to attend to other things, so he has to let Ain take his place and negotiate with the Elders. "The female elf continued to encourage Ain:

"On the other hand, this does not mean that even this extremely confident guy believes that you can replace him to complete this task. Even better than him...Isn't it?"

From start to finish The little wizard with no opening lifts the head slowly, staring at the female elf.

"What about you? Liya—you believe that I can quell the hostility between the empire and the ancient wood forest and return to the peace of the past?"

Female The elf's expression froze.

This time, even Lu Sien next to her can see how complicated her mood is.

Turning around silently, the female elf walking straight forward no longer looks back.

"No matter when, no matter what happens...I will not betray the Morning Star Forest, nor my clan."

Looking at such a female elf, Ayin browses Slightly wrinkle, sighed slightly.

As I walked to the Cloud Canopy Tree, the female elves with the Dancers of the Morning Star Forest turned and left silently, leaving only Luca an elf, waiting for the "branch of the Cloud Canopy Tree" Down the ladder.

"Ain, please come with me." The middle-aged elf said with a gentle face: "As for the rest of the guests, please wait at the camp under the cloud crown tree."

"After all, this is the largest settlement in the ancient wood forest. The long house where the Elders are discussing is no better than others. It is impossible to let everyone in, and only the representative of the main person...Please forgive me."

Lucien stopped and turned to look at the Byrne Knights who were accompanying him behind him.

Although this remark is reasonable and reasonable, why do I always have a hunch that the other party wants harboring malicious intentions?

"I see." The little wizard lightly nodded.

Luca sighed-if he can, he really doesn't want to be so to him, and even the whole Morning Star Forest has a very kind little wizard.

"Everyone, don't worry, I will be back soon."

The voice fell, and the little wizard who never looked back followed in the footsteps of the middle-aged elves, step by step climbed up the quiet and quiet cloud crown tree.

The twists and turns of the branches, the huge "cloud crown", covering the heavens, shielding the sun, it is impossible to see the outside from the tree at all, which makes people feel like a world away; they are clearly noisy and prosperous. In the Wuyue Court, it seemed to have returned to the Morning Star Forest.

Under Luca’s gaze, the little wizard looks steadily forward stepping into the door of the cloud-crown tree-top long house, passing through the foggy moon court war dance staring hostilely at her on both sides People.

"Crack~~~"

The door of the long house closed tightly behind them.

The moment he walked into the long house, the little wizard noticed that he was "surrounded".

The whole room is like the concert hall of Imperial Capital Golovin-the entrance is a half-curved "dance floor", surrounded by stepped "audience seats".

In the front row, there are twelve elderly elves with different expressions, different clothes and gray hair; they are standing in front of them almost from the moment they enter the door. The little wizard.

It's like looking at an item.

Behind them, Ai Yin could perceive more eyes, staring from head to toe from all angles, scanning herself.

A pair of unkind, suspicious and even hostile eyes.

The little wizard gritted his teeth, a drop of cold sweat dripping from his forehead slipped across his eyes, and resisted not wiping it.

Instead, let’s take a sigh of relief and use the expression of facing the "test subject"——little white mouse——in the wizard tower, looking up towards the elves:

"You honest elders, under Ain Rand, represent the highest emperor of the empire, Eckhart II, and visit the ancient wood forest in his name."

"We, for friendship and peace Come."
