Chapter 1572 Tragedy
After dinner, the Elf Queen, accompanied by Emily, returned to the villa to rest.
I stayed behind and met up with the bigwigs from Fort Wych.
When the two kings arrived, we sat in rows. Master Dewey took the first seat, followed by the two kings. Master Hall and I took the last seat.
I looked up and looked around. Master Dewey's face was as dark as water, the Goblin King was deep in thought, the Dwarf King frowned deeply, and Master Hall looked puzzled.
After a moment of silence, Master Dewey said: "This morning, all of our dwarf team in Dashai City were killed."
"What!" Master Hall couldn't believe it and said in surprise: "How is this possible? How is this possible? Who dares to attack our people? Aren't they afraid of the wrath of Fort Vicky?"
"Calm down first." Master Dewey glared at him and said, "What's the use of babbling? Can it solve the problem? In this regard, you are not as good as Xiao Yi."
I said hey hey embarrassedly.
Master Dewey turned to glare at me again and scolded: "Be serious, now is not the time to be playful."
I felt extremely aggrieved.
It was you who took the initiative to praise me just now. I laughed twice in response, but you scolded me.
It's a pity that this complaint can only be kept in the heart. After all, the other party is a big boss and cannot be offended.
Master Hall thought for a while and asked, "Has the murderer been caught?"
Master Dewey shook his head and said: "The murderers were veterans and were very quick at committing crimes. When they were discovered, they had disappeared without a trace. The only clue left behind was a crossbow arrow, which was inserted into the heart of the victim at that time."
"Does the crossbow have any special characteristics?" Master Hall asked again.
"The arrow has a body of twenty centimeters and a diameter of half a centimeter. The arrow is exquisite and sharp, made of special wood." At this point, Master Dewey paused, looked at me, and then continued: "It is a type of crossbow arrow commonly used by the elves."
"The Elf Tribe!" Master Hall became uneasy again: "It turned out to be the Elf Tribe's crossbow. Dewey, this is a frame-up. This must be a frame-up. I don't believe that the Elves would do such a dirty trick!"
"I don't believe it either," the dwarf king's deep and loud voice sounded, almost roaring: "But the fact is that the found crossbow arrow is indeed commonly used by the elves!"
"That doesn't prove that it must have been done by the elves!" Master Hall said sternly: "Besides, how could they do it when their queen is visiting our country? This will not only damage the relationship between the two countries, but also damage the relationship between the two countries. How could the elves, who have always been loyal to their Majesty the Queen, do such a treacherous thing!"
"Hall, calm down!" Master Dewey shouted, and then he turned to the Dwarf King and said: "Don't get excited, things will eventually come to light."
The Dwarf King remained silent, and Master Hall also closed his mouth, although he still stared with an angry expression.
Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Master Dewey looked at the Goblin King and said, "Tell me what you think."
The Goblin King came back from his thoughts, blinked his eyes twice, and said: "I have several conjectures about this matter. One of them is that it was done by the elves, and its purpose may be to provoke a fight between Fort Vicky and Da. The war in Cyber City, thus reaping the benefits of the fishermen, and that 'profit' is most likely ancient documents and advanced science and technology; secondly, it is also done by the elves, but their intention is not our Fort Wichita, but It’s the Elf Queen, and they just took advantage of the Elf Queen’s visit to cause appalling tragedy, arouse our anger, and transfer the anger to the Elf Queen who happened to be in Fort Vicky.”
After the Goblin King finished his statement, he continued to sit quietly and meditate.
Master Dewey held his chin and thought, nodding continuously. After a while, he raised his head, his eyes were bright, and he said in a deep voice: "That's all?"
"That's all," the Goblin King replied. At the end, his eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Do you have any wise ideas?"
"It's not a high opinion, and I'm not in a hurry to say it." Master Dewey shook his head and said, "Let's hear Xiao Yi's opinion first."
When I got this news, I started thinking about it. By the time the meeting started, I had almost organized my thoughts and just needed to elaborate.
I originally thought that I would have to wait for the big bosses to finish speaking before it would be my turn, but unexpectedly, I was actually arranged to be the second one to speak.
Without thinking, I opened my mouth and said: "I have two guesses about this matter. One is that it was indeed done by elves, and the other is that someone put the blame on it."
"As for what the elves did, as His Majesty the Goblin King said, it is very likely that someone did this deliberately in order to make us disadvantageous to the Elf Queen. If this guess is correct, I can basically conclude that this group of people is from the elves. The remnants of the rebels.”
With that said, I turned to Master Hall and said: "Master said before that the elves are a race that has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic. In fact, this is not the case. When I took office as the elder of the foreign race, I was assigned to kill the rebels. Not long after, again Being assigned to act as bait to exterminate the remnants of the rebels, it can be said that the political situation in Moonlight City is not as stable as imagined."
"Secondly" I said: "Just a crossbow does not prove that the archer must be an Elf. Although the Elf's special crossbows are not sold to outsiders, this does not mean that the Elf's crossbows must not be sold to outsiders. Obtained and used by outsiders, robbed after killing, and exchanged for benefits, as long as the methods are appropriate, this kind of foreign object can be easily obtained, but once this kind of thing falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it can easily be confused. Audio and visual, creating an illusion that is difficult to distinguish.”
After the four bosses listened to my words carefully, the Dwarf King took a deep breath and said, "I agree with what my son-in-law said. Maybe this is because someone wants to alienate our relationship with Moonlight City."
Master Dewey shook his head and denied the Dwarf King: "Before the truth is found, any idea is just a guess."
"Xiao Yi," he looked at me with a serious look on his face and said, "I want to know under what circumstances did Her Majesty the Elf Queen mention our traveling companionship to you? Also, she mentioned this matter to you. What was his tone and demeanor like when he spoke?"
I held my chin, lost in thought.
The situation and the conversation that day kept popping up in my mind. As I recalled it, I said: "At that time, I had just taken Achilles back to Moonlight City. The Fairy Queen held an impromptu banquet to meet Achilles. , at the banquet, the Fairy Queen and Achilles kept talking, while the Fairy Queen and I were left alone. Later, I got bored, got up and left, walking around the banquet venue while eating the food here and there. After a while, The Elf Queen also came over. Her expression was similar to mine, both of us were too bored. Then we two bored people got together and talked about everything, from making fun of Achilles to talking about the trip to Dasay City. , and later, the Elf Queen began to tell her life experience, and at the end, she roundly expressed the hope that I could take her with me when I visit other countries in the future."
Before I could finish speaking, Master Dewey suddenly asked: "When Her Majesty the Elf Queen told you about her life, did she look at Her Majesty the Elf Queen?"
