Chapter 141
This is the current situation-these Elder Elders of the Morning Star Forest are actually very clear in their hearts, whether it is the sudden invasion of ogre or the destroyed tree wall, it is not coincide.
There must be some terrifying truth behind these things. They understand but don't want to believe it, because the truth is too cruel. Rather to deceive yourself and insist that everything is just an accident.
Only in this way can they tell the children of the settlement that these disasters will pass. As long as all the elves unite and fight bravely against the enemy, they can defeat the invading ogre and win the final victory. .
But in fact, even they themselves understand that the elven settlements in the Morningstar Forest and the entire eastern forest have suffered heavy losses in the last Ogre invasion; if the scale of this time of invasion is the same or even more If it is huge, then the consequences are... unthinkable!
It is precisely because of this that they agreed to let Luca come forward to negotiate with Deep Limburg-because Morningstar Forest does need more support. No matter how much they deceive themselves, they cannot change the current situation of material shortage and manpower shortage.
So from the very beginning Luca got it wrong. He originally hoped that Loren could persuade these Elders and let them see the truth of reality. But in fact, it's not necessary at all, because they don't know, but don't want to know.
What can I do to wake up a person who pretends to sleep?
Put the knife on his neck, and then chop it without the slightest hesitation!
The reason why they are reluctant to face the truth is because even so, these Elders do not know exactly what to do. They understand how terrifying the enemy is, but they have no way to deal with it.
In such a situation, how can we tell the bloody truth to the warriors of the settlement so that they can fight a war that is destined to be hopeless? !
This is what Loren wants to do. Give these elves a little hope. When they see the possibility of success, they will be willing to unconditionally support themselves regardless of the cost.
This is not gambling, but from the very beginning. Even if they don't want to believe in a human being, they are their only hope. Even for the continuation of the settlement, in order to survive the Ogre invasion, they have no second way.
Of course, there must be a certain Elder who is stubborn and insists on his own opinions. After all, the elves are famous for their xenophobia and stubbornness; but the Born Elder is different-he has seen Yong Ye Lin's tragic situation, he saw Mezka's blood sacrifice ceremony with his own eyes, and understood that what Loren said was not impossible.
The only thing Loren really wants to "convince" is this Born Elder. After all, among all Elder Elders, this one is the most authoritative one. If he convinced him, he could persuade the other Elders for Loren.
So Loren didn't worry at all—what really worried him was the Evil God named'Mezka'.
Even Asriel feels scared, and even constantly urges him to solve this threat, which is enough to prove its strength has reached what level. If there is only Loren himself, I am afraid that even confronting him would be wishful thinking.
Sometimes Loren really doesn't know if he is lucky to be entangled with Asriel, or he is too unfortunate.
……………… "Dear Loren, how can you think that?"
The aggrieved teenager lying on the bed of the black hair wizard, as if saving himself The tragic fate generally "confides": "Isn't our meeting a fateful choice? It's a destined thing!"
"First of all, please don't use rhetoric that can easily cause misunderstanding."
p>The young man’s "shameless" remarks made Loren twitched his mouth, but it’s not the first time he has gotten used to it. There are more important things to solve now: "Secondly, I think a friend is not right. I'll be honest with each other."
"Be honest with each other?!" A trace of panic flashed in the young scarlet eyes, and the thin body "trembling": "I don't know, you still have... This kind of hobby?!"
"...Have you ever finished?"
After realizing that playing an aggrieved and pitiful appearance was useless, Asriel immediately Restored the original reserved smile: "As your best friend, Loren, I have never concealed anything from you, I just...selectively don't tell you something."
" My rhetoric is not very good." Loren also took out a formulaic smile, and confronted unceremoniously: "Please tell me, what is the difference between the two?"
"Very Obviously, concealing a friend is tantamount to betrayal, and at the same time it hurts our friendship." The teenager said as expected: "But I don’t tell you something, it’s just a means of protection, even more how is just something unimportant. ."
"Not important? Then when do you think it is more important to tell me?!"
"It is very important now, after all, you are going to fight it hard soon!"
Asriel's mouth slipped a playful smile: "You have to be considerate of me, dear Loren-if I tell you everything, it will hurt you... without knowing it. Knowing too much'truth', you will completely collapse, and you will have the'debt' that will never be paid off!"
"It seems that I have to thank you." Squinting his eyes slightly, Loren chuckled. "Then why are you willing to tell me now?"
"Because it is our common threat." The boy tilted his head and blinked gently: "And it can come in this world, that means that certain rules have begun to'loose'."
"Just like you?" Loren pretended to be casual.
"...not the same." The boy showed a bright smile, apparently aware of Loren's purpose: "I was able to leave the cellar because of my dear Loren, and I can only use it. This body’s power is nothing more than."
"As for'Mezca', it seems to be able to use some power beyond imagination-in other words, it is more complete and more complete than me. Powerful."
Asriel didn't tell the truth, this was Loren's reaction. But he never expected this guy to be able to tell him all the facts.
Asriel can only show some special powers through himself; and that'Mezca' seems to be able to do it himself, otherwise it would be impossible to explain where the residual power of the void came from.
Is it because of the blood sacrifice ceremony, or is it related to "believers"? If it is really because of faith, how strong should the "Holy Cross", which has thousands of devout followers in the empire, be so powerful?
Although I have told myself countless times, this world is completely different from the one I belonged to. But when he realized that the "Spiritual God" that he didn't care about originally existed and possessed the power of terrifying, Loren could feel a trace of tension in his heart.
This is a power that I can't fight at all, maybe I don't even have the power to fight back. Even with Asriel, there is no guarantee that he will survive.
There is nothing more terrifying than the unknown. Loren's gaze flashed back to the last dream-maybe "Dalton" was right, he was never brave, and only made up his mind when he was sure of it.
"Although'Mezca' is indeed very powerful, dear Loren, you don't need to worry too much." The boy put his hands behind his head: "Its impossible power is not limited-if not , The ancient wood forest has long been leveled by ogre."
"even more how you and Asriel, our interests in this matter are the same, it is our common threat." The blood-red pupils flowed slightly: "This time I will do my best to help you, so never worry!"
"Can't you use power?" Loren eyebrows raised: "I guess at the end , I still want me and this Evil God to work hard, right?"
"Are you willing to let Asriel do such a dangerous thing?" The young man showed a pitiful expression, and a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth. "But I can give you a chance to face off."
"A little luck, a little chance, plus your wisdom-my dear friend, it is not invincible. At least for you, absolutely not!"
