Chapter 872 The Body Is Missing

After hearing what I said, the goblin leader didn't seem satisfied. He still looked at me quietly, waiting for my next answer. However, my answer had already been completed.

After a while, she said: "I want to know, is Remi happy?"

"Yes, grandma, the patriarch, she is very happy." I paused: "At least that's what I think."

The goblin leader finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Actually, Grandma Patriarch, you don't need to ask me for confirmation at all. You can ask her yourself. She also has a communication crystal."

The goblin leader didn't speak. After a few seconds of pause, she smiled kindly and said, "I know."

——Liar! You definitely didn’t know until after I said it!

After leaving the elf clan's territory, I walked in the elf forest.

Speaking of which, I rarely walk alone in the Elf Forest during the day. In a trance, I feel like the entire forest seems to be rotating around me.

I walked to the place where the Elf Assassin was buried last time and kicked the soil there. It was a little soft and I remembered that it rained here the day after I left. The soil shouldn't be like this. Could it be...

I had a bad suspicion, so I immediately dug out the soil again.

I piled layers of fresh soil on one side. When the soil reached half a meter high, I dug to the depth where the Elf Assassin was buried. However, there was no body.

If it weren't for the darker soil, I would even think that I dug in the wrong place, but the blood-soaked soil was still lying there quietly.

The body was exhumed and taken away? !

I was stunned. Could it be that someone was secretly watching me from behind that day?

After I killed a few assassins and left, that person quietly found the place where the body was buried and dug it out again?

Sure enough, Moonlight City is not a peaceful place to live.

My face sank, my heart sank, and a vague feeling of insecurity arose spontaneously: Who could be the person following me?

Elf Queen? Akahavi? Or some organization I don't know yet?

What was its intention in digging up the body? Is it to bury the incident in the grave for the assassins? Or is it asking for credit? Or do you have other intentions?

My mind was spinning very fast, and countless speculations were activated in an instant.

But no matter which way, the body is gone after all, and my whereabouts and actions must have been exposed. I just don’t know if the person following me also knows where the fairies live, and whether they will extend their minions to the fairies. And will my move affect the survival of the fairy clan?

What worries me even more is, is the existence of the goblin team as well known to them as a few corpses?

If that's true

I frowned, looked for a very tall tree next to me, climbed up to the top of the tree, sat down on one of the trunks, took out the call crystal, and connected the call to the leader of the goblin clan.

"Grandma, the patriarch, it's me."

"Xiaoyi?" the goblin clan leader asked, "didn't you just leave?"

"Well, yes, I am now on a tree about twenty meters away from your territory."

"Then you're sending me a calling crystal?" The goblin leader said, "Why don't you just come in and talk?"

"I may not go to your territory to have a face-to-face conversation with you for the time being," I said lightly, "I feel that I may have been followed."

"I don't quite understand what you said. Can you express it in a language that the elderly can understand?"

I informed the elf clan leader about killing the elf assassins and burying their bodies, and also told me about the disappearance of the bodies.

"Yes." The goblin leader was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that you are indeed being followed."

"Yes, this is what I'm worried about. I'm afraid your territory has been discovered by them."

"So what if we find out?"

"It wouldn't matter if they were the Elf Queen's people, or if they were Akahawi's people."

"You don't need to worry about this," the goblin leader said calmly: "With my strength, it is simply wishful thinking for Akahavi and others to bring people into this place."

"Then I'll be relieved." After exhaling, I said, "By the way, Grandma Patriarch, I will ask you to take care of the goblins."

"You don't need to say more about this," the goblin leader said, "They are very popular here, especially the children."

"That's good." I finally let go of my heart and became much calmer: "Grandma, the patriarch, I still have a question to ask you."

"Say it."

"Besides the Elf Queen and Akahavi, is there a third force in Moonlight City?"

"Well," the goblin clan leader pondered for a moment and said, "To be precise, there should be some."

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"No, I haven't seen it with my own eyes. It's just some rumors among the neighbors. But rumors often have unbelievable authenticity. What do you think?"

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Then do you have any questions?" the goblin leader asked.

"No more, thank you, Patriarch Grandma."

Then, I hung up the call.

As I guessed, there should indeed be a threatening force hidden in Moonlight City. Although this force is still in a state of being undisturbed, once it breaks out, it will definitely not be weaker than the force of Akahawi. The most important thing is The question is, what is the purpose of this power? Who organized it?

When I don't understand these two points, I still can't act rashly. It's best to behave as usual. This can more or less deceive the people who are secretly observing me somewhere.

Really, can’t you just live a normal life?

I muttered unhappily.

Climbing down from the tree, I continued to wander around the Elf Forest as if nothing had happened.

If the Elf Forest had no trees, it would be an extremely vast grassland, boundless as far as the eye can see. Looking down at Moonlight City from an airship, you will find that the Elf Forest in Moonlight City is even wider than you imagine, because it is directly connected to Moonlight City. It occupies two-thirds of the entire town.

The Elf Queen and the Elf Clan Leader both told me that even they have not explored the entire Elf Forest, because in the middle of the Elf Forest, it is said that there are some very powerful creatures living, and these creatures are just The gatekeepers guard many unknown ruins.

The goblin leader told me that those relics were handed down from an era earlier than the legendary heroic era, and many of them have even been lost.

But these things the patriarch told me were only stories told to her by the patriarch's ancestors. She had never been involved in those ruins, and she had no way of knowing what was inside.
