Chapter 498 Choice
With my eyes closed, I paused for a while and said, "I just want to ask you a few questions."
"go ahead."
The masked female elf's voice was very calm, as if she was already prepared to be questioned by me.
"First question, what is your real purpose of going to the mausoleum?"
After a short moment of silence, the masked female elf said: "As commissioned by the Elf Queen, I came to investigate the tomb of the legendary hero in Airui City."
"What are you investigating?" I opened my heavy eyelids slightly, and a burning sting suddenly entered my eyes, and I had to blink several times.
"Investigating the existence of the attendant of the legendary hero Carter Adams," she said, "that is, the person who fought with you."
"So you knew all this from the beginning?"
"Yes." She lowered her head and did not deny it.
"Why do you want to investigate the existence of that person?" I asked: "Besides, he is from Airui City, what does he have to do with your elves?"
The masked female elf was silent for a moment and said: "Things are not as simple as you think. If he is really a hero's attendant, Zephyr Continent is likely to fall into panic and war again."
"Oh?" I asked in confusion: "Where did the panic and war you mentioned come from?"
The masked female elf frowned slightly and did not answer directly, but her starry eyes flickered, probably as she was organizing her words.
Cagalli turned her head at this time and said to me: "Xiao Yi, what she said is not unreasonable. The prerequisite for Zephyr Continent to maintain a peaceful situation is that there is no super strong person. Once a certain town is born, it can be called A super strong person at the level of destruction is no longer far away from the troubled times."
I nodded and said: "I can understand what you said. Once you have strength, your corresponding ambition will begin to expand. But this Achilles is really as you said, he has become so powerful that he is a super strong man." Level?"
"If he is really the attendant of the hero Carter Adams, I think, yes." The masked female elf's eyes were serious and her tone was serious.
"So, can any of you tell me the criteria for measuring a super strong person?" I scratched my hair and said distressedly: "One super strong person after another, I was confused."
"A super strong person refers to an existence that can compete with any of the five major guilds as an individual."
After listening to the explanation of the masked female elf, I fell into deep thought. After a while, I nodded and said: "Well, I understand. In other words, in the Zephyr Continent, there will no longer be an opponent who can stop him. Is that what it means? ?”
"That's it."
"Yes, I understand." Leaning on the bedside, I clasped my hands and bowed to her, saying, "I don't know if it's true or false, but that Achilles did say that he was Adams' attendant. And I can’t say about his strength. Anyway, it’s easier and easier to kill me now. Listening to your words, you elves probably have the intention to act as the savior. Anyway, no matter what the outcome is, I will help you to pray to the God of Creation first. If you pray, you can be considered as fulfilling your duty as a friend.”
The masked female elf was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you really not going to help me anymore?"
I shook my head and refused: "No."
"Even if you don't help me, don't you want to help the innocent people in Zefeng Continent? They will most likely be displaced due to the war, and..."
"That's enough." I raised my hand to stop her words, and then lowered it feebly: "Innocent people, huh, it sounds very righteous, but what does this have to do with me? I just hope My fiancée, my family, and my friends will not be harmed in any way. Apart from that, no matter how many people die, what does it have to do with me!"
At this point, I let out a violent cough, which felt as painful as suffocation.
It took a long time to recover from the cough. I took the water glass handed by Barbara and took a sip of water. I said: "So far, I can know all the adventurers I have fought against from the battle. Their approximate strength level, but I can’t figure out how powerful Achilles is, do you know why?”
The masked female elf shook her head.
"Because he is too powerful," I said. "Just by throwing out two spears very casually, he shattered Naotachi and seriously injured me. I really can't imagine if he gets serious, if he gets crazy. , what kind of existence that would be!”
As I said that, I handed the hilt of the Naotachi sword to the masked female elf.
She took the handle of the knife and looked it over, her brows filled with confusion.
I sighed: "You should go back first. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it later. I'm tired."
After that, with the help of Phoenix, I returned to bed again.
After sending away the masked female elf, Cagalli returned to the room again, closed the door, and sat next to me.
I looked at her and found that her brows were also full of tangles, so I took her hand and said, "Talk to me."
"What?"
After saying "what's bothering you," I turned to Phoenix and Barbara and said, "Tell me about yours later and see if I can solve it."
Barbara turned her ears and said hey: "Is it so obvious? I've already disguised it very well, right?"
I smiled slightly: "You, whenever you have troubles, they all fly onto your face and you can't hide them at all."
After hearing this, she rubbed her face hard and pouted, looking unhappy.
I smiled and turned to Cagalli, waiting for her words.
Cagalli thought for a while and said: "Actually, my thoughts are the same as those of the masked female elf. Xiaoyi, are you really not going to take action this time?"
"Are you talking about saving those innocent people?" I shook my head and sighed helplessly: "I am not the God of Creation, nor the Holy Mother, nor the Holy Son. If I want to save those people, I am simply powerless. This Unrealistic, unless”
"Unless?" Cagalli's beautiful eyes flashed.
"Unless the five major guilds can gather together to form a crusade team and jointly crusade against Achilles," I said, "other than that, there is no other way."
"This is even more unrealistic." Cagalli sighed: "The five major guilds are originally friendly on the surface, but secretly they have been competing with each other. It is too unrealistic for them to unite."
"Then there's nothing we can do," I said, "unless other city lords can also produce heroic attendants."
As soon as I said these words, the room fell silent. When I looked up, Cagalli was staring at me, her beautiful eyes twinkling again.
"Huh? What's wrong?" I turned to look at Phoenix and Barbara and said, "Did I say something wrong?"
Phoenix and Barbara shook their heads together.
"Then why do you look at me like this?" I asked Cagalli in confusion.
"Xiao Yi, you are right!" Cagalli suddenly became excited: "Since there are heroic attendants in Ai Rui City, don't they exist in other towns?"
