Chapter 140
"Before we start, please allow me to ask one more question."
Loren standing in the middle of the long house is surrounded by the Elders, smiling on his face He lifted his right hand and snapped his fingers: "Is it the truth you want from my mouth...or is it the truth you want?" When the child got cold, Born Elder coughed: "Your Excellency Loren Torino, we invite you to come here because I want to..."
"I want me to tell you respectable Elders, great Everything that happened on the tree wall was accidental and has nothing to do with any external factors!"
Loren, who snatched the conversation, continued to each minding their own business and said: "And this year’s ogre invasion is also related to There was no difference in the past. As long as the eastern elves are united, they will surely be able to overcome difficulties and defeat powerful enemies... In short, that's all, where I am wrong, I hope to point out my mistakes."
"You... "
"If you really want to hear me say these nonsense, then I don’t have to stay any longer, and there is no need for Lotaire Duchy to provide any support!" A quick goodbye Li, Loren’s tone was full of sarcasm: "May you all triumph, defeat the strong enemy, and retreat first!"
"Stop--!"
black hair wizard Just turned around, Born Elder, who was sitting in the chair, stood up: "Your Excellency Loren Torino, we treat you as a guest, but we don’t give you the right to humiliate us at will!"
"Here is Morning Star Forest, it’s not a place where you can go in and out at will!” Another Elder also roared angrily: “If you don’t intend to help us, what is your intention?!”
With his back facing the Elders Loren raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but deliberately shook the head, spreading his hands out: "I thought I had proved by action that I was here for something."
The wizard Elder who had just stood up immediately was speechless. ——They have all heard about the big tree wall from Luca. Without this human wizard, it would be simply nonsense to regain the gap.
And now, it is a joke that I have to question the other party's intentions.
"Please forgive us for the improper use of words, but also please don't try to irritate us." Calm down, and reach a tacit understanding with the surrounding Elders, Bohn Elder slowly opened the mouth and said : "If you really find something, we are also willing to listen and then make a judgment."
After a moment of indulgence, the turned Loren's eyes always focused on Born Elder——this Elder, an elf, is the most authoritative one in the entire Morning Star Forest, and he is the only one he wants to persuade.
"I would like to ask you to tell me first, how much do you know about monsters like ogre?"
"Clearly." Born Elder sat firmly in his chair Above, the color of pride exhibit one's feelings in one's speech: "I also used to be a war dancer. The entire Morningstar Forest settlement, and even the entire Eastern Forest, are impossible. There is a second elf who knows these monsters better than I do."
“Because of this, I don’t believe that these monsters will master any weird powers, or suddenly become smarter-they are terrifying monsters, extremely cruel, but not equal to them They have brains!"
"They have no brains, but they still have faith." Loren opened the mouth and said faintly: "Just as elves believe in the power of ancient wood, ogre also has spiritual beliefs. God...Of course, it must be Evil God."
"Yes, they tend to hold a huge ceremony after slaughtering an elf settlement, if you call that ceremony." Bo En Elder's expression became heavy:
"We call it'Mezca', because those ogre call it that way."
"Have you heard Once?"
"Only once." Bohn Elder's expression was ugly: "Perhaps in your opinion we will only hide behind the big tree wall, but in fact, the war dancers in the morning star forest I have also expeditioned outside the wall, fighting with ogre further away in the ancient wood forest, and even rebuilding the ancient settlement!"
"Yes, the settlements of the elves in the eastern forest were even covered with big trees. Beyond the wall, brave war dancers even hunted giant monsters in the southern wilderness."
black hair wizard slightly nodded: "But now the power of ogre has spread all over the wall of trees, once The settlement no longer exists."
This is one of the biggest advantages of owning Asriel. Loren only needs to spend a little time to glance at the thoughts of the Morningstar Forest Settlement Collection, and he can remember all the contents. In my heart", wait until you need it before using it.
"Not all." Born Elder replied coldly: "We once revived the Evernight Forest beyond the big tree wall. The cloud crown trees there are as old as the Morning Star Forest. It is a pity that , We have failed."
"Hundreds of war dancers in the entire eastern forest fought bloody battles to defend the Evernight Forest, but they failed! We watched the elves of the entire settlement. Being slaughtered and screaming like livestock, they became the sacrifice of'Mezca'!"
Born Elder's voice was trembling: "You have never seen such a scene. You only read it in the text, so don’t tell me how terrifying ogre is, how cowardly we are, you don’t know anything!"
"I only know one thing." Loren slowed down Slowly lifts the head, and stares at the trembling Elder Elder: "Since then, the war dancers in the Eastern Forest have never crossed the tree wall."
"What do you want to say? What?!"
"I want to say that all of you accidentally made a big mistake." The black hair wizard slowly opened the mouth and said: "Whether it is destroying the tree wall or driving The ogre invasion, these forces have exceeded all imagination, and it is not something that ordinary creatures can do."
"The only thing that can do this is'Mezka'—— What you don’t know is that the blood sacrifice awakened the Evil God and allowed it to descend in this world."
"What did you say?!"
"This is impossible!"
"How could this be?!"
It's normal for them to be shocked. When Loren heard from Asriel, they were no less surprised.
"I just saw what I saw with my own eyes and told you the truth about everything I know." Black's pupils reflected the elves dumbfounded, even not knowing what to do, Loren's expression gradually Become dignified: "This war can be ended without using ordinary means!"
The Elders did not hear what he said, and they were still arguing fiercely, with a panic and confusion. , This sudden "answer" has made them lose their minds, and it is even unclear whether they should believe it or not.
"It's all quiet--!"
Born Elder who was sitting there suddenly shouted, and the noisy hall was silent again: "So according to what you said, after all What can we do to end this ogre invasion?"
"Very simple."
The black hair wizard looked at the Elders present with a proper expression: "Just Just like back then, how did the former war dancers regain Yongyelin? This time they still regain it in the same way!"
"You, what do you mean... …"
"Expedition outside the wall of the tree, regaining the Evernight Forest, and drove'Mezca' back to where it should go-this is the only way to end this scene that shouldn't be Ogre invasion!"
"It's easy for you to say, this kind of thing..."
"What should I do?!" Bohn actively interrupted the fluxed and exasperated Elder, staring at Loren’s expression: "If we really organize an expedition, can you guarantee that we can expel that'Evil God' from this world?!"
"I have absolute Otherwise, I won’t say it."
Loren’s expression is as usual, as if to say something trivial: "Since it’s my suggestion, of course I am Will join this expedition."
"Please trust my sincerity, because I am not only fighting for you; if the army of ogre destroys you, the next step is Lothar Duchy. If Probably, I would never want to see that day come!"
Bohn gave him a complicated look and fell into hesitation. He hesitated for a long time before speaking slowly: "This requires careful discussion. We will notify you when we think it through. Please go back and rest now."
"I will do my best to help you all." The black hair wizard with cold eyes swept them. Turned and left.
"But the premise is that you can truly trust me, not be vigilant!"
