Chapter 879 Failed

Rules are the hardest to change.

Whether this rule is a family rule or a national rule.

In comparison, family rules are easier to talk about. After all, fewer people are involved, but national rules are different.

The habits of a country are established by many generations. If these people have the personality of being a stranger, that's okay. The worst thing to fear is that they are stubborn and stubborn, like a buffalo that has accepted death.

Unfortunately, elves are such a race.

At this time, it was late at night, and I was sitting in the study room of Elder Mai Sonoda's house. Elder Mai Sonoda was sitting opposite me, with a slight apology on her slightly wrinkled face.

After a long silence, she said: "I'm sorry, the handwriting has not been approved."

"Ah" I felt a little regretful, sighed, and said: "That's really a pity, but I don't blame you. After all, this is the tradition of the elves, and it is the rule set by your ancestors. How can it be changed just by saying it is changed? .”

"You can understand, I express my gratitude." Elder Mai Sonoda nodded at me, then she raised her head, faced me directly, and said, "There is something that may be rude to say."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Based on what I know about you, even if Her Majesty the Queen's decree is not approved, you will still find ways to sneak into the burial ground."

When Elder Mai Sonoda said these words, her eyes were shining, and she was very confident.

"Yes." I was not going to deny it: "You are right. Even without the Queen's handwriting, I would still find out the location of the burial ground and sneak in to find out."

"Can you tell me why you did this?" Elder Mai Sonoda said seriously: "You are so persistent and stubborn. You are a human race. You should know how to adapt better than us and know how to move in the direction that is beneficial to you instead of going. Doing a thankless thing.”

"You're right," I said, "I am indeed a human race, and I do have all the characteristics that a human race should have, such as desire, greed, and selfishness. These are all part of my emotions as a human being, but I want to say, what do you think about the human race? My view is biased. The human race is not only about desire, greed and selfishness, but also emotion, sympathy and dedication. Although these seem insignificant to me, they still exist after all, don't they?"

Elder Mai Sonoda was silent for a while. She raised her head and said with a hint of confusion: "I want to know, will what you do in the future be done out of emotion, sympathy or dedication?"

“You have all three, but you have to give more.”

"You know, what you are doing is challenging the entire elves. Even if you really think about them, in the end, you may not be able to get the understanding of any of them. Do you think it is worth it? "

Elder Mai Sonoda's expression was very serious, so serious that even I felt a little restrained.

"In fact, everything I did was not for the elves, but for my fiancées, my family, and my friends."

After thinking about my words for a while, I continued: "Whether it's Moonlight City, Fort Vicky, Darcy City, Airey City, or York City, in short, none of us can escape from this world. If we let the filth be left alone and grow freely. , maybe it won’t be long before every corner of this continent will be hiding a monster made of carrion with eyes all over its body, or even more disgusting monsters may appear. At that time, our lives will be different. We become trembling with fear, fearing that a disgusting and powerful monster will appear from somewhere accidentally to take away our lives and devour our flesh and blood. Thinking about this kind of life is terrifying."

"Moreover," I frowned, "the temporary obstruction may play a certain role, but human energy is limited after all. One day, we will be unable to stop the erosion of these monsters. By then, this Zephyr Continent will What will it become, well, I don’t want to think about it.”

Elder Mai Sonoda let out a long sigh, then closed her eyes and meditated. Just when I thought she had fallen asleep, she suddenly said: "When do you plan to go to the burial ground?"

I spread my hands and said, "Unfortunately, it won't be possible in the near future."

"Why?"

"I don't even know where the burial ground is, how to get there!"

"I can help you draw a map of the location of the burial ground," the elder said, "but you must ensure that no other person besides you can see it."

"Huh? I can understand that...are you helping me?"

"No, just like you, I only do it for my family, my friends and my tribe."

"Hey" I smiled: "It seems that you and I are quite compatible."

"I don't think it's a happy thing to be in sync with you," Elder Mai Sonoda said calmly.

"Don't say that, I'm honored to be able to work with you." As I said that, I stood up and asked her, "So, Elder Mai Sonoda, when do you plan to give me the location map of the burial ground?"

"Three days later," the elder said, "Three days later, it will still be in this room. Come and get it."

I felt relaxed when I left Elder Mai Sonoda's home. Although I failed to get the elf queen's decree, I at least got the approval of one of the powerful people in the elf clan, so things would be much easier to handle.

Speaking of which, I had been worried before that it would be difficult if all the high-level elves opposed my actions.

After that, I went to Ren's house again. In the spacious tree house, six elf boys were lying on the ground doing push-ups. They were doing it very attentively. Even when I entered the hall and stepped over them, they Not even aware of it.

Near the wall, Ren was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. From the moment I entered the room to now, his eyes never left the newspaper, as if he had not noticed my arrival.

Walking to Ren's side, I sat on the sofa casually. At this time, Ren said, "Come here so late, what's the matter?"

"It's something," I said, "Do you know where the burial grounds in Moonlight City are?"

"I know something." He raised his eyelids and glanced at me: "Are you going to rob a tomb? Or steal a corpse?"

"None of them," I said, "Not long ago, a lot of monsters made of carrion appeared near the imperial mausoleum in the Elf Forest. I want to find out whether the carrion might have been lost in the bone burial ground."

"Do you know the number of bones in the burial ground?" Ren asked.

"have no idea."

"Then how to explore?"

"I'm not going to count, but I'm going to check around the burial ground to see if there are any traces left."

"You mean corpse fluid?"

"Well, this is one of the points where traces may be found," I said, "but I'm not sure whether the person who created the monster will clean up the traces related to it."
