Chapter 884 (2/2)
”Master asamai is right - whatever else, focusing on the present is the most important.” Loren nodded as if he were persuading himself: ”whether Meade said a threat or not is not what we should care about now.”
”What should be concerned now is the choice of the Ancient Wood Forest Elves.”
The voice fell, and Loren looked up at the other end of the sand, in the direction of the elder of the fog moon court.
The elf elder holding the ”trial spear” in his hand was also looking at him, with a trace of sadness in his eyes - it was not the sadness of midell's death, but the fate of the Ancient Wood Forest Elves.
At this moment, they have completely lost the right to speak about their choice; When the messenger of the Azores eagle king died, the elves living in the ancient wood forest completely lost the hope of merging with distant blood relatives.
However, they have to say this result by themselves, as if everything is in the fog moon court, under the control of the ancient wood forest, and how the Empire respects the ”own choice” of the ancient wood forest.
As a result, we all saw that if Loren didn't take the initiative to ask and let the elders of the fog moon court take the initiative to announce, it was already the greatest way to let them retain the last trace of dignity.
Under the cloud canopy tree, no elf took the initiative to speak first.
Looking at the silent expressions around, the elder of the fog moon court sighed, laboriously pulled out the ”trial spear” from the sand and slowly opened his mouth:
”Ancient wood forest has made her choice;”
”The glory of the sun has pointed out the way for us.”
With a long gun, the elder staggered to the black haired wizard step by step, but his low and hoarse voice could clearly reach every ELF's ear:
”This fair and just battle of honor... Has been divided.”
”The winner is the messenger representing the saxophone Empire, Duke Byrne... Lord Loren Turin!”
”Don't cry for the dead, because this duel is enough for glory and comfort; don't cheer for the winner, because another brave and noble soldier will sleep under the cloud canopy tree forever.”
When he stopped, the elder stopped in front of the black haired wizard, and a pair of sad and profound eyes looked at him: ”and the ancient wood forest will abide by her promise and extend a hand of friendship and peace to the glorious winner.”
”Then, dear Lord Loren Turin... Will the Empire abide by her promise to create permanent peace with the elves of the ancient wood forest with a heart of friendship?”
”The Empire will keep her promise from today to the final day.” Loren looked at the elder solemnly, then raised his head and looked around:
”And I also guarantee with my own life and honor that as long as the thirteen leaders of Byrne have not fallen, as long as the Golden Lion Flag of Turin is still flying, and the imperial army will never cross Shenlin castle!”
”Even one day, if the elves of the ancient wood forest decide to recover the land occupied by the ogres in the south, the Empire will do its best and give full support; no matter what your choice is, they will be respected by the Empire!”
”This is my promise, this is the promise of the Empire --!”
The voice fell, and the atmosphere was slightly boosted.
The elder of the fog moon court smiled wearily, handed the ”trial spear” to Loren, and turned away.
Around the sand, many Elven elders breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they were glad that Loren didn't take the opportunity to put forward more conditions.
Except for the morning star forest, the elves in other settlements were not excited by Loren's ”Declaration”; Or lament for the future of the settlement, or lament for the dead Meade.
Several young dancers of fog moon court battle came forward, carefully picked up midell's body, looked angrily at the black haired wizard from time to time, glanced at him, and then quickly turned their heads back.
The elves with different expressions and complex mood turned and left one after another and dispersed towards their settlement.
This is not beyond Loren's expectation.
He didn't expect to completely change the attitude of the whole ancient Wood Forest Elves through a duel and a few words - otherwise, it would be a joke for Meade to risk winning the ogre war.
”So... It's over, isn't it?” looking at the elves who turned around and left, Ayn couldn't help asking, ”it's all over. We guard the peace of the Empire, isn't it?”
”Yes, it's over.” looking up, the black haired wizard reluctantly smiled: ”in a short time, no one will disturb the peace of the forest - so it's really over for the elves of the ancient wood forest.”
But for the Empire, this is just the beginning.
Beware of the sword that will kill you
Midell's last words reappeared in Loren's mind, like some kind of curse.
”The Empire, or at least you, have more or less spied into the secrets of the Azores Elven warrior way.” ashamei smiled and said:
”When the enemy tears off their mysterious veil, the unknown fear will no longer exist - and we can find targeted ways to restrain these Azor Elven warriors.”
”For example, their various' powers' should be displayed through swordsmanship, so we can use this to establish a situation where they can't play swordsmanship; I just thought that more than one alchemy potion can play a special...”
”Master ashamei, there's something I don't know I shouldn't ask.” Loren interrupted him abruptly.
”Oh, what's the matter?” ashamei looked kind and dignified: ”Your Excellency, but it doesn't hurt to say.”
”Well, are you married... Er, no, should you have children and heirs?”
”This... The vast majority of wizards who pursue their dreams are very bumpy on the road of love; unfortunately, I am also a member of this bumpy road - although there have been many opposite sex lovers, I have never had such a happy fate.”
”Well, I may have to congratulate you.”
”Well, what do you say?”
”When we met for the first time, Meade told me that yingxiao Island, which you once visited, has changed from a border desert island to a holy land of alchemy.” Loren looked at him with a ”serious” face: ”the elves and wizards there trace their roots to the younger generation of your former apprentice - I mean, female apprentice.”
”You mean...”
”You may have become not only a father, but also a grandfather.” Loren ”sincerely” blinked and smiled: ”the only pity is that your former female apprentices have probably been accepted by other elves and will not recognize you as' grandpa ashamei '.”
”...” Halin van achamay.
