The dwarves may not have as many tricks as the elves, but they still followed their ancient tradition. The four of them lined up, with Jermaine as the leader, and responded to the elves' invitation in standard Silverbeard Dwarf language. And repeat it in Elvish and Common language at the same time.
In response to this, most elves were dumbfounded, because dwarves can actually speak Elvish? In the past, the dwarven visitors they encountered did not speak their language. It’s just that I haven’t met many dwarves. However, Liena took it for granted. Even for several humans, she didn't think they really knew anything about Elvish.
Lin had no problem with what the dwarf agreed to do. They are not slaves, but free. Someone's attitude has always been to let people come and go, and it's the same for everyone. But I have no obligation to act with the other person, so is it time to part ways?
But how could Liena Titov, who had the approval of the dwarves, let go of her real target this time. So even though she didn't use the ancient etiquette, she still came to several human masters and apprentices very carefully and said: "Gentlemen, on behalf of my father, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom Luka Titov, I would like to extend a formal invitation. You all come into the kingdom as guests.”
Hey, I can’t tell that this girl is still a second-generation official. But even so, someone still hesitated whether to accept the invitation or not, and did not dare to nod immediately. Halumi looked very interested. Although Kaya remained calm, the ends of her two big braids were trembling, which showed that she was also interested in her heart. As for Fen, he still looked indifferent.
However, seeing that someone did not respond immediately, Liena did not take it seriously. She covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Is it because of the rumors on the forum that you are so worried?" For the female elf, she had been exposed to the forum very early. An intelligence medium, of course, is also very concerned about the Kingdom's evaluation. No matter what, this is where I grew up and my home.
However, due to national policies, disputes with neighboring lords continued, and various domestic customs and habits could easily conflict with adventurers. Therefore, the evaluation of the Kingdom of Payat Jaime is not good on the forum. Although she wanted to explain, looking at the lich's expression of the old god's presence, Liena unconsciously said in a provocative tone when she spoke: "Those rumors are all true, are you afraid? ?”
"hehe."
Fin laughed, and then someone sucked. Lin shouted in his heart, as the saying goes, a gentleman won't do it unless he's in a dangerous place?
It may be xenophobic, it may be tough, but after all, the Kingdom of Payat Jaime is not a closed country, and it still maintains contact with the outside world. In addition to countless elves who go on adventures throughout the Lost Lands in the name of experience, there are also trusted caravans of other races who do business with the kingdom and exchange supplies that each other needs. Of course, some guests they consider valuable will also receive invitations.
The invited Lin and others belong to this kind of 'valuable' guests. But someone was a little confused as to why he was among those invited to walk on the road to the capital of the Kingdom of Payat Jaime. Also, the female elf once mentioned her research on the World Tree and her ability to travel through the world. How did she learn this?
If the two doubts are put together, then the reason for being invited seems to come out. But you still have to ask.
On the way to the capital of the kingdom, the elf knights surrounded the two carriages like escorts. Of course, such behavior can also be regarded as surveillance, it depends on how you look at it. Liena was walking on the side of the driver's seat, talking to someone.
The conversation between one person and one elf was quite harmonious, and everything was the same as in the past in the Five United Cities. The elves and the lich are facing each other tit for tat, and someone acts as a buffer in the middle to prevent the two from expanding the conflict without limit. After all, it was an aristocratic occasion, and most of the people present simply could not withstand the aftermath of a casual blow between two people.
The friendship at that time also allowed Lin to ask questions more directly without being too rude.
"So, I want to know where my news comes from? What kind of news? Is it your whereabouts? Or is it something related to the World Tree?" After being declined the invitation to ride the Luo Niao together, Liaena kept He had an exaggerated expression of disappointment, and he also used various provocative things during the conversation. Like now, she tilted her head slightly, blinked and looked at someone sitting upright.
He knew very well that everything the other party did was a show, and he didn't want to give a certain lich a reason to kill him to pieces. Although Lin's tone was calm, he kept a little distance and said: "First, let me tell you how you know the news about the World Tree. Well. As far as I know, the wood elves' stance is a little different from yours. There is even a sense of opposition between the two sides, so they won't tell you the news so readily."
"Because the top leaders of our two groups have different opinions on the attitude of the precepts required by the World Tree, there is some friction between them. But the people at the top don't like each other, but it doesn't mean that the people at the bottom must also look like dead people. During my travels in the Lost Lands, I made friends with many people from the Turtle Dove Alliance. Among them was the one you should have met, Kalama Harang."
It means that the differences between the two sides, according to someone's knowledge, are not just differences in attitudes towards the precepts, but a fundamental issue of whether people manage trees or trees manage people. But there is no need to demolish the female elves. Anyway, at first, they only listened to the one-sided words of the wood elves, and this time it is confirmed.
As for that one, it is said that a beautiful elf would not be able to recognize someone who is blind after three days of seeing him, but Kalamaharan was definitely impressed and will never forget it until his death. The transliteration of his elf name is 'Thunder God', and his appearance is that of a very noble person. It can even be said that he is extremely noble. His body of muscles might even make an orc look dwarfed by him and make him shy away.
"The promotion of World Tree will not be a trivial matter. As long as it happens, people with a certain impact will find out, and then other people will find relevant people to inquire about the news. Even if the other party does not tell the whole story, they will always I'll leak a little bit. After all, it's not a big deal that can be hidden if you want to. Based on our friendship that we had been together for a while, Kalamaharan has mentioned your name, plus some rumors I heard later. , it is not difficult to guess what you know and how it is related to the promotion of World Tree."
"Pfft." The whole sentence was very long, but someone only heard clearly, "Have you spent some time together?" ' Such a sentence. Lin couldn't help but look at this elf who was so heroic and unlike any other woman with strange eyes. It turned out that she was used to eating heavy salty food and her taste was so unique.
Sensing someone's strange look, Liena was angry and amused, and said: "It's not what you think. Kalamaharang is a very well-known figure in the world of elves, and he is also one of the few in the southwest of the Lost World. One of several elven supernatural beings. For me who intends to travel around the world, he is of course a person who must visit. It’s just that he often travels, and you may not be able to find someone in the Wadwo tribe, and I was lucky enough to meet him. , of course I studied with him for a period of time. Except for the elven swordsmanship and bow and arrow that he couldn’t teach me, I have benefited a lot in other aspects.”
You said that you have benefited a lot in all aspects, what can I say? Someone was so slanderous in his heart, but he still pretended to be nonchalant and asked another thing: "Then your kingdom's invitation to me this time, is it a good thing or a bad thing? Can you tell me something?"
"What, are you scared?"
"Expecting the worst and planning for the worst is my consistent life-saving principle. Along the way, I have lived a thrilling life because of the covetousness of others. So I accept your invitation this time. If the situation is possible, If things get worse, I always have to think of some countermeasures first to ensure a way out. Or do you think it is acceptable to let the one behind you go."
"This is pretty bad."
"Yeah, right."
Agreeing with someone's statement, Liena did not shy away and said directly: "As far as I know, there are indeed many voices in the kingdom's parliament. There are some who don't believe that the advancement of World Tree is related to you; they think you should be captured alive , there are people who press for details. But after all, your achievements in the Tower of the Great Sage are there, and there are many people who think you should be respected. My father is the one who hopes to have a good talk with you. Of course, there is another On the one hand, it's because the rumors about your abilities on the forum are so weird. But I've seen it in person, and I can only say that your abilities are weirder than the rumors say. So it shouldn't be the worst. "
"So, I'm safe?"
"That's how it should be, that's right. If there's no guarantee of victory, I won't fight if I can. Besides, I'm not sure I can deal with that person." Liena pursed her lips, implying that she was sitting in the carriage. Maybe the lich was eavesdropping with his ears straightened.
After having a general understanding of his trip, Lin Xuanzhuo felt a little relieved. However, he still asked worriedly: "Your father wouldn't get angry at others and shout to kill them because he didn't get the expected results."
"Oh, aren't you going to tell me? About everything you know. Is it a warning from the wood elves or those high ones."
"That's not the case." After pondering for a while, Lin said: "I will keep it for now. Because I have a feeling that when I see your father, I will say the same things again. And those things contain a lot of content, and they are also It’s quite complicated. I need to clear my mind before I can explain it clearly.”
"Well, that's good."
"By the way, how did you find us?" Lin Ke didn't think it was such a coincidence that he was bumped into by a group of elf knights.
It can be said that it is curiosity, or it can be said that after knowing the reason, we must find ways to avoid the risk of leaking our whereabouts in the future. Trying to hide one's whereabouts as much as possible is the only way to keep a low profile. Someone who just wants to live a nourishing life never understands what high-profile means.
"From the direction and date you left Pilsen City, you can roughly guess where you will appear; then ask the elders of the clan to use prophecy to predict your whereabouts. After confirming the two factors, at these points in time, in these places Search for your whereabouts. Then we found you."
Okay, this is a crude way to get lost, but it works; at least someone can't hide the traces of his fate. However, Lin still wanted to ask: "It's just that you seem to belong to the regular army, right? Can you cross the border and walk around like this?"
"What's wrong? Let's not mention that this is an ownerless territory. Even if we really can't defeat it, we can definitely escape with the camels we ride. Otherwise, why do you think we have to bother raising camels? As a cavalry mount.”
I finally found out why I fit in so well with this elf. It doesn't matter if you can't win, but you must be able to escape and win. This is the true way to live a long life.
