251 Lunatics (1/2)
Everybody dispersed and collected all the bones.
With Stone to Mud and Hand of Magic, Roland easily dug a pit and pushed all the bones that they could see into it, before he put the bucket and the baby in the pit with Hand of Magic too.
His magic power burst out, and the rolling mud covered everything. Eventually, the mud rose into a round tomb and hardened into stones.
All of them were quite grave after they left the village.
It was not until a day later that the atmosphere finally improved.
Looking at the long green horizon of the Elf Forest far away, Suel said regretfully, ”I should've livestreamed this.”
”Why?” asked the Priest.
Suel sneered. ”To show other people what elves are exactly. Now, there's a strange opinion on the forum. Some people think that elves are kind, beautiful, and righteous, and that everything about the elves is great.”
The Priest shook his head. ”It's unfair to criticize a group for some of the people in it. Some human beings have done horrible things too, but are all human beings evil? The problem is Nature's Wrath, who caused this. Everything will be fine after we eradicate it.”
Behind Suel, Roland said casually, ”I agree with Rommel.”
The Priest was Rommel.
Betta was still in a trance. As the youngest in the team, he was not nineteen yet, and it was impossible for him to calm down after such a tragedy.
Hearing his companions' disagreement, Suel said after a brief silence, ”But in any case, Nature's Wrath is dead for sure. I won't let them go, with or without this quest.”
They walked for another day before they returned to their previous rendezvous point.
In the stone house, Schuck and the rest had waited for a while.
They shared their intelligence, only to find that the victims they saw all had a rhomboid hole in their skull, which was clearly caused by arrows.
There was not a second hole in any skull, and no arrows were left at the locations.
The experts among human beings could've done the same, but it would require too many of them in order to slaughter a whole village, leaving no survivors.
Human beings had a large population. It was possible to gather such a team, but those people were in different places and belonged to different organizations. It was barely possible to gather them all at once.
Therefore, only the elves could've deployed so many expert archers that easily.
The answer was obvious.
At this point, Roland found that not just them, Schuck and Hawk's squad were not in a good mood either.
Margret was probably the only unaffected person.
After all, a dragon's viewpoint could be very different from that of human beings.
They rested for two hours, before they found Ans by the lake.
As a ”noble,” Betta was responsible for the negotiation.
Ans nodded. ”Naturally.”
Then, Ans told them the basics of Nature's Wrath.
Nature's Wrath had hundreds of members, but of course, not all of them needed to be killed. Only the leadership had to be eliminated.
In Ans's opinion, there were twelve leaders that had to be killed.
The most important one of them was Ans's teacher, a Druid close to the level of Legend. He could transform into an emerald dragon.
However, since he was not a Legend, he could only use half the strength of an emerald dragon even if he became one.
The other eleven elves were the administrators of Nature's Wrath, including the deputies, the supply officers, the field commanders, etc.
After hearing Ans out, Betta took a long breath. ”There are hundreds of people in Nature's Wrath, and we only have ten. Even if we're undying, it's troublesome for us to kill so many of them, and they will be warned if we try and fail.”
”I'll create an opportunity for you, an opportunity where only the twelve leaders will show up,” Ans said with a vague green light flashing in his eyes. ”The opportunity will arrive soon, and all you need to do is wait.”
