Chapter 878 (1/2)
The heavy knock on the door echoed for a long time like a big bell.
Dead silence.
All the Elven elders held their breath and stared at the front door of the long house.
The sudden knock on the door was beyond everyone's expectation.
Meade, with his back to the gate, did not say a word, and his expression froze in his face.
The nervous little wizard didn't even dare to look back, for fear that she would see the most terrible image in her mind - the fairy Leia walked into the long room with a sad face, holding the head of the black haired wizard in her hand, and told herself in a trembling and painful voice: ”sorry, ain, I can't betray my cell family, can't betray the morning star forest...”
No, no! She promised herself she wouldn't hurt Lauren!
The silence lasted a whole minute.
”Who is it?”
The first one who couldn't restrain himself was the elder of the wasteland forest: ”no matter who it is, don't you know what a sacred thing the elder's meeting is? No one can open this big fan until the meeting is over...”
”Dong... Dong --! Dong --!”
Three rough knocks on the door, like merciless ridicule, hit the elder of the wasteland forest on the face, making the angry elder blush. It took a lot of effort by his companions to press him back to his seat.
Midell still smiled, but it was no longer as gentle as it was at the beginning, with a touch of cold.
The wuyueting war dancers of Gongwei cloud canopy tree have all taken refuge in themselves. The only Morningstar forest war dancer who may be informed has also been placed under house arrest. The soldiers of other settlements have been transferred, and the imperial mission is being besieged by war dancers several times their own. Even those who escape and break through will be blocked under the cloud canopy tree
So what happened?
At this time, in any case, it should be impossible for someone to come out and disturb themselves to ”persuade” the Elven elders to completely cut off their ties with the Empire and take refuge in the Azor Kingdom - their blood relatives are.
What went wrong and who broke his plan
”Bang --!!”
With a loud noise, the gate was knocked open.
The heavy impact echoed in the long house again and again; The glare of light came from the gate into the whole dark hall.
Almost at the same time, all the Elven elders in the house couldn't help narrowing their eyes and turned their eyes to the door outside; The little wizard and Meade, with their backs to the door, also turned their heads in ”tacit understanding”, or looked at them in fear or surprise.
A leisurely figure appeared outside the door and walked towards them step by step.
”Sorry, sorry... Everyone, I'm really very sorry.”
Lazy tone, no sincerity to apologize; But it made the whole hall silent.
The leisurely pace stopped, and the comer tilted his head and looked around the long house calmly - shocked and confused elders, the Azores with a blue face... And Ayn Rand with worried eyes.
He said faintly, ”I'm late.”
”Loren --?!”
The little wizard exclaimed, and a surprise color flashed in her eyes - she almost had to do her best to resist the impulse to rush directly and hold each other in her arms.
How many times, how many times did I really think he was by Leia
”... anyway, you are here at last, your excellency Loren Turin, or... The messenger of the Empire, Duke Bain.”
When the long house was still full of confusion, or confused or in doubt, the elder of the morning star forest took the lead to get up and bow to the black haired Wizard:
”But I must remind you that once the door of the Presbyterian Council leader's house is closed, it can't be opened unless it's over. Otherwise, it will bring disaster - more importantly, it's a great disrespect to the Elven custom.”
The elder's voice is sonorous and powerful, just as the elders are commanding the younger generation; But Lauren, with his head down, had heard the meaning of his words, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
The fact that you are late has made the elders of other settlements very dissatisfied. Lower your posture. We chenxinglin will stand on your side - this is the meaning revealed in the words of chenxinglin elders.
”Let me sincerely apologize to you again, you kind elders... Although I have visited the morning star forest, I really don't know much about the customs of elves.”
Loren kept ayin behind without any trace while returning the salute in an unassuming manner; The little wizard who was completely in surprise was as clever as a little rabbit: ”however, when it comes to customs, there is a special word in the imperial vocabulary to express different races...”
”Don't discuss any customs yet!”
The elder of the fog moon court who recovered from the shock quickly got up and stared at the black haired wizard with a tense face: ”please tell us how you entered the fog moon court and how you bypassed the guards of the dancers outside the door!”
The long house was quiet again, and the elders with different expressions frowned at the same time - especially the elders in the fog moon Court felt a little difficult to breathe.
”Guards? I didn't see any guards.” Loren deliberately bypassed the first question and replied lightly, ”if you mean those guys who rushed up to kill me as soon as they heard my name... HMM.”
With a leisurely look, Loren recalled something that had just happened not long ago.
He had planned to find a way to rescue Liya under house arrest. As a result, the Female Elf was as smart as before, put down one and took the opportunity to run away.
I helped her put down the second one.
Then there are several war dancers guarding the cloud crown. As soon as they hear their names, they rush up like mad dogs; But I'm lucky, because there's no need to limit any means this time.
The rock will destroy the terrain and separate them one by one, and then the spiritual horizon determines the coordinates of each one, one by one... The war dancers who encounter magic for the first time are completely caught off guard.
Sure enough... Just sneaking in is the most suitable for yourself. It's really dangerous to ambush and sneak attack; Anyway, as long as no one sees him or stops him, no one knows he has sneaked in.
Well, that's it.
”I've made them pay the price they deserve.”
Such an answer made the elders' faces more and more ugly.
