Chapter 1420 Public Opinion

The elf captain who spoke was very young, and his tone of voice was very calm. It didn't sound like he was lying, but I think it's still necessary to ask more carefully.

"How did you know?"

The elf captain said calmly: "He and I grew up in the same orphanage."

"Orphan asylum?"

"Yes," he said, "It is a place used to house the children who became orphans due to His Highness the Prince's rebellion."

The words are full of resentment, Akahavi, no matter what the truth of that rebellion is, you have become the sinner in the hearts of that generation of elves.

I nodded and asked, "So, he is also a member of the orphanage?"

"Yes," the elf captain said, "Not only him, but also his team were all my companions."

"Then why didn't you stop him?" I asked, "If you had stopped him, this tragedy might not happen again."

"It will still happen." The elf captain said calmly: "His character is like that. It has never changed since he was a child. He is stubborn and conceited. And, Mr. Elder, he is no longer my companion. A long time ago , we have already parted ways.”

"Uh-oh, sorry, I don't know the inside story of this, please forgive me."

The elf captain bowed to me generously, which was a sign of forgiveness.

"May I take the liberty of asking?"

On the side, Lilea suddenly said: "Why did you and your friend part ways?"

"Hey, this is privacy, you don't want it."

When I was about to criticize Lillea for her bad behavior of inquiring into other people's privacy, the elf captain bowed to Lillea and said: "Although this matter is my private matter, since the elder lady asked, then I say It’s okay to come out.”

He straightened up and said: "The reason why he and I parted ways has to do with a sect called the Cult of God of Creation. There was a time when he was extremely devoted to this sect, and was even so fanatical that he even forgot to eat and sleep to listen to its sermons. In the last days of our relationship, he asked me to join that sect, but I refused. He said that I had no faith, and I said that I only believed in His Majesty. Then he became angry and texted me We made a clean break and vowed to never communicate with each other again. Since then, he and I have never spoken a word. Soon, we both became adults and left the shelter. It was not until recently that I reunited with him. "

"The Cult of Creation?"

I frowned. In my memory, I had never heard of a sect with a similar name.

However, I have seen fanatical believers in the God of Creation, and they even saved my life.

Unconsciously, a majestic figure gathered in my mind, stood in front of me, and blocked the most fatal blow for me.

"Elder An Xiaoyi," the bespectacled mage elf captain suddenly spoke and asked me, "If we had rescued them just now, how certain were we that we could rescue them?"

I pondered for a moment and said: "If we force the rescue, we might be able to save a few people, but more people will definitely be damaged inside. After all, they are a group of monsters that even she can't easily deal with."

I looked at Bai Yunying, who was sleeping soundly holding a pillow.

"Excuse me, who is she? Why do you always use her as the standard?" Captain Glasses asked again.

"She is Bai Yunying, a strong person who can compete with your hero Emily."

Most people looked at Bai Yunying, who was lying on Xiaozhi's back and sleeping soundly, with astonishment. It was hard to imagine that this girl who would be lazy and doze off when she had the chance could actually compete with the strongest hero in their minds. Tie character.

Captain Glasses took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Thank you very much, Mr. Elder, for your explanation."

After leaving the dungeon, I went to the palace with a somewhat heavy heart. I was brutally tortured by Emily, who had an indifferent expression on her face, and then went home with her.

Emily asked: "You are in a bad state, what's wrong?"

"He's dead," I said.

"Who died?"

"Several of the elves who were traveling with us died."

"How did you die?" she asked again.

"Being tortured and killed by a swarm of giant ghost-faced spiders."

"Giant ghost-faced spider group" Emily thought for a moment and said: "I have fought with that group of monsters, which is very difficult to deal with. Why did you lead the team to where?"

"I just led a team to search for the Ghost-Faced Spiders and Elite Ghost-Faced Spiders, and found the nest of a giant group of Ghost-Faced Spiders. I wanted to retreat, but someone didn't listen. I thought I was brave, so I rushed in."

Emily nodded and said: "This is their mistake and they should bear it themselves."

I sighed: "Maybe it's like this for you who is rational, but I'm not sensible enough."

"Just take your time," Emily said.

I turned to her and forced a smile: "Are you trying to comfort me?"

Without saying a word, she turned to me and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing me an amazing smile.

That smile was like a meteor streaking across the sky, fleeting, but leaving me with a memory that can never be erased.

When I woke up from my sluggish state, she stopped smiling and continued to walk home calmly.

Gossip spreads far faster than the flu.

In just four days, negative news about me has spread throughout most of Moonlight City.

For a time, the residents of each branch city were discussing my matter - 'Ignoring the life and death of the elves, the elders from outside the Moonlight City are actually cold-blooded elders! ’ ‘It’s so crazy that an elder from outside Moonlight City would do such a thing! ’ ‘As a human being, he was given the position of elder. Is it because of his outstanding acting skills, or is there another reason? ’

Waiting for a lot of messy negative news, rushing towards me like a torrent.

Looking at the Moonlight City Daily, I didn’t even know what kind of expression I should use to respond to the indignant remarks above.

I never expected that the deaths of the tough guy Elf and his teammates would be blamed on me.

It seems that I took the initiative to stop them, and almost went up to them, knocked them unconscious and kidnapped them. If I had done this, it is estimated that the negative news about me would have come out the next day - "The elders of foreign tribes actually did it in public and knocked them unconscious." Innocent adventurer! Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature? ’

Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. I only know that that incident that had little to do with me was all blamed on me under the careful planning of some people.

Fortunately, my neighbors and several high-level elves had some understanding of my character and temperament and were not led by public opinion, so I was relieved of a considerable amount of pressure.

But there is also a greater part of the pressure from the outside, which is pressing hard on my shoulders - some fools who were misled by public opinion began to attack me with unreasonable remarks. For a while, they cursed, glared, and other impolite behaviors. , smashing towards me head-on.
