Chapter 877 Asking for Help
I understand the elves' high sense of honor and racial superiority, which makes them look elegant and noble, but I also hate these two things about the elves, which make them sensitive and neurotic.
Although it was a bit unreasonable, I did not directly say that this was the fault within the Elf clan. As a result, Elder Mai Sonoda still looked like a cat with scalded claws, and his hair was about to stand on end.
I don’t know if the conversation can continue, but I am definitely not optimistic about the outcome of today’s conversation. Even if she will not hate me for my rude remarks, she will never, driven by a high sense of racial honor, To convey my meaning to the Elf Queen, even if she conveyed it, she would only say a few words in an understatement.
The Elf Queen will definitely not give me the decree allowing entry into the burial ground just because of Elder Mai Sonoda's casual words - no matter what, in their eyes, I am a human race after all, and humans are good at lying. of.
Elder Mai Sonoda and I looked at each other like this. I didn't say anything and she didn't say anything. However, although her expression was very angry, she didn't mean to drive me out at all. Instead, she looked at me coldly, as if she was waiting. With my explanation.
Since he wasn't kicked out, it wouldn't hurt to explain.
I organized my words and said: "I know that nobility and glory have always been the beliefs of your elves. I also know that in the hearts of most of your elves, purity is precious and filth is despised. However, in the In the Zephyr Continent, no race can escape from emotions and desires, which are like shadows that follow them forever and cannot be put away or abandoned."
"As long as a person has emotions and desires, he will unconsciously have selfish desires. It's just that some people can suppress this kind of selfish desires, but some people can't. Those who suppress their selfish desires are in our eyes Wise men, and those who cannot suppress or completely indulge their selfish desires are filthy in our eyes.”
"Yes, what you just said is correct. I do suspect that there are people doing dirty experiments hidden among the elves. Although their purpose is to enhance the strength of the elves, or they want the elves to become the masters of Zephyr Continent, but you Have you ever thought that their behavior is not caused by selfish desires?"
"Perhaps this kind of selfish desire can be called racial selfish desire. Perhaps in your opinion, doing this kind of experiment is for the strength of your own race, which can be forgiven and understood. However, a few years ago, the elves' benefactor generously The passionate and pure goblin tribe was massacred precisely because of this selfish desire, and they are still hiding in that place and refuse to come out. You said this is the most painful thing for you, I think you will never forget it."
Having said this, I paused for a moment, and I saw Elder Mai Sonoda's hands shaking. They kept shaking, as if they had been electrocuted.
At the same time, her face was ugly, very ugly, both black and red.
I frowned and heard her tremblingly say: "Say, keep on, keep on talking."
I can speak and stand, and it seems to be fine. I gave up the idea of asking for help and continued: "Perhaps now, those elves who conduct filthy experiments just want to make their race stronger, but you can guarantee that in the future, In the future, will they continue to work hard for their own race? Is there no possibility of them rebelling? Don’t they want to be kings and emperors? "
"Shut up!" Elder Mai Sonoda shouted violently, his voice was extremely stern. In an instant, I felt a powerful momentum approaching me, and my body couldn't help but shake slightly.
Soon, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and an older woman's voice came through the door: "Madam, are you okay?"
Elder Mai Sonoda stared at me, took a long breath, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, go down."
"Yes" Then, there was another sound of footsteps, gradually getting further away.
Elder Mai Sonoda slowly sat down on the chair. She did not reprimand me or even speak anymore. She just put her trembling hands on the table, but even so, her fingers still could not suppress the trembling.
After a while, she took a breath and said, "An Xiaoyi, what you said today is very presumptuous."
"Yes, Elder Mai Sonoda, I know that what I just said offended your race and..."
The elder raised his hand, stopped me, and continued: "But your words are not without some truth. Those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Once filth breeds in our group of elves, it won't take long for it to be destroyed." It will spread, get bigger, become more numerous, and eventually become out of control.”
Sighing, she continued: "I have understood your proposal, and I can help you convey it. As for whether the manuscript can be issued, it depends on Her Majesty the Queen's wishes."
"Then I would like to thank Elder Mai Sonoda here."
"Okay, it's getting late. You can go back." Elder Mai Sonoda rubbed her forehead with one hand and waved with the other. Although I couldn't see her face clearly, I could feel that she was very tired.
"Then I'll take my leave first." I bowed and said, "Goodbye, Elder Mai Sonoda."
I quietly left the villa and walked on the deserted streets.
The yellow hanging lights on both sides of the road looked very warm, but I was not in the mood to experience it all.
Although Elder Mai Sonoda unexpectedly agreed to help me in the end, what would happen even if I really got the Queen's decree?
Will I really find the clues I'm looking for at the Boneyard?
Even if I find clues, even if I am sure that the carrion indeed comes from the bone burial ground, what should I do to find out the culprit who created the carrion monster?
Moreover, even if the culprit is caught, can it be confirmed that he is the mastermind behind all this?
If the carrion monster only appeared in Moonlight City, the trouble might be much less, but unfortunately, it has also appeared in Airei City. Its power, its ruthlessness, its terror and ugliness, and its thick... The lingering stench.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly caught sight of a figure out of the corner of my eye. That figure had been behind me, following me not far or near.
Is this the assassin who wants to kill me again?
With this thought in my mind, I still kept my pace and walked leisurely.
Since I was asking Elder Mai Sonoda for help, I didn’t carry any weapons. I only had a pair of metal gauntlets that could barely take care of me. However, I didn’t know the opponent’s strength, and I also didn’t know the opponent’s attack method. Once we fight, the gauntlets have a huge advantage. It is possible that it will disappear, and in this case, I will fall into passivity.
If I remain passive for a long time, my situation will be greatly disadvantaged, and it may even turn into a dilemma. At that time, I will most likely have no choice but to force my way out. Fortunately, with a powerful priest like Taylor around, as long as he doesn't die, he will always be able to escape. Way to heal me.
