Chapter 679 Outsiders

The trunk of the Ancient Tree of Life is engraved with countless densely packed small lines. Each line is only the size of a thumb. Even the fluctuations of magic power emitted by each line are completely different. There is even a trace of soul on those small lines. breath.

This trace of soul and a trace of magic power were all bound in that small mark.

This is the life mark of the dark elves. After each dark elf has the first magic mark, he will come here and carve his own life mark on the ancient tree of life. Each life mark is exclusive to a dark elf. There is no magic power sealed inside, and there is even a hint of soul.

The Ancient Tree of Life will protect these life patterns. As long as the Ancient Tree of Life does not die, these life patterns will be destroyed.

The only condition for the disappearance of these life marks is that the owner of the life marks dies. After the death of life, the soul breath and magic power sealed in the life marks have lost their roots, and the trace of soul breath and magic power will also Then dissipated.

When a dark elf falls, a life mark will disappear from the branches of the ancient tree of life. But at this moment, there is a large area on the branches of the ancient tree of life that does not have a life mark. This means that there is At least hundreds of dark elves fell...

The old man standing in front of the Ancient Tree of Life frowned and whispered: "Go down and convene a meeting of elders."

Half an hour later, in a huge tree house, a group of solemn-looking dark elves sat down around a huge round table.

The upper position is empty. This is the position belonging to the great elder, and it is on the left. Sitting at the front was the old dark elf with white beard and hair. He was the second elder of the dark elf tribe.

Following them were the four elders, Elsa, and several deacons from the elf tribe.

Sitting in the front on the right. It's Giles' father, Third Elder Brewster. Behind them are the five elders and a group of dark elf deacons.

Except for the great elder, who was still in the lightless dream and had not yet woken up, everyone else had arrived at the meeting of the Council of Elders.

After everyone arrived, the second elder spoke first with a worried look on his face.

"I believe everyone already knows the reason for this meeting of elders. A group of hunting mage legions have all fallen. Six hundred and sixty-three people, their life marks have all disappeared, or rather. This hunting legion has died. They all disappeared silently, and not even a single message was sent back.”

"Dark elves are never afraid of dying in battle. Falling in battle is the highest honor for dark elves. However, this time, the 663 people, including the nighthawk beasts they carried, did not return any news. . It’s like disappearing without a trace. Tell me what you think.”

The first elder is not here, so the second elder can only talk about this matter.

The fourth elder sitting below the second elder is a middle-aged female elf. The fourth elder's face was as cold as frost: "I can count the number of times this has happened for so long. I believe everyone understands why this happened a few times. Every time. It’s the fault of the other two races, and it’s definitely the same this time!”

"Only those two races know us so well. They even make it impossible for that group of hunting corps to send out any information. They all know the methods we often use. If they start to fight against something bad again, I have an idea. I am absolutely sure that I can do this by sneak attacking the hunting legion. From what I see, it is definitely the evil guys from the Ash Orcs who did it.

"

Elsa, who was sitting next to the fourth elder, agreed with a stern face: "Yes, our relationship with the Ash Orcs has become increasingly tense over the years. This time hundreds of tribesmen disappeared silently. It must be them. Yes, we’d better send people to explore the Ash Orc tribe, there must be some clues that can be found.”

The second elder nodded and said with a hint of worry: "If it is really the Ash Orcs who did it, then something serious is wrong. Their tribe is already stronger than our Dark Elf tribe, but if they attack us so boldly now, I’m afraid it’s quite certain that it will hit us hard…”

The third elder sitting opposite the second elder had a solemn expression and objected: "I don't think so. If we provoke the Ash Orcs under uncertain circumstances, those guys who don't have the blood of the abyss demons flowing in their bodies will definitely use this It’s just an excuse to launch an attack. On the contrary, I think there is a big conspiracy.”

"The tribe has been peaceful for so long, why did something suddenly go wrong now? Even those Ash Orcs, why didn't they take action before? How come they were so ruthless this time? This must be a premeditated sneak attack!"

"Everyone, our tribe has been peaceful for so many years. Why is it suddenly not peaceful now? What unrest happened recently? In other words, there are some changes in the tribe. This must be a sign!"

The third elder had a serious look on his face, and the others also showed approval when they heard this. They were all thinking about what happened in the tribe recently.

"The only changes that have occurred are the few outsiders."

The fifth elder sitting next to the third elder said with a sullen face and a sneer.

As soon as these words came out, the third elder looked livid: "Huh! It turns out they are these outsiders. No wonder, I have long seen that these outsiders have bad intentions. A few days ago, I noticed that someone was disturbing the peace of the tribe. I went to When I checked, I found that these outsiders were actually casting spells in the tribe and even injuring people in the tribe..."

The fifth elder answered with a gloomy face and a look of shock and anger: "What! How dare you cast spells in the tribe and hurt the people in the tribe? It's so lawless. Why haven't these outsiders been arrested? As soon as they come, the tribe will This kind of thing happened here, and they dare to hit people, these outsiders who don’t know the details must have a conspiracy! "

When the two elders opened their mouths, coupled with the previous guidance of the third elder, the deacons below were immediately frightened and angry, and one by one they began to question why these outsiders were not arrested.

"Catch him!"

"These outsiders must have a big conspiracy!"

"Damn it, it must be them. Everything that happened in the tribe recently is related to them!"

The huge conference hall became noisy in an instant.

Elsa suddenly panicked and didn't understand how the discussion got involved with Merlin.

Damn it, what happened to these people, and why did Merlin get involved? Don’t these people know how terrifying Merlin is? Oh my god, do they want to ruin the entire tribe?

No, I must stop them!

"Third Elder, I have already explained before. It was your son Giles who made the first move. Merlin was just protecting himself. How can he disturb the peace of the tribe?"

Elsa stood up hurriedly and questioned the third elder.

The third boss smiled and nodded calmly: "I have said that it is his fault that Giles is not as good as others, but I saw with my own eyes that outsider knocked Giles to the ground, and even Thinking of killing someone is a serious violation of tribal regulations, and I believe Her Highness Elsa knows it very well."

Before Elsa could speak, the third elder suddenly changed the topic: "But since Her Highness Elsa is the witness, we must continue to investigate this matter. Let's put it aside for now. I want to ask Her Highness Elsa another thing."

Elsa was stunned for a moment and didn't react at all. When did the third elder become so easy to talk to?

Fortunately, since Merlin is not involved, it seems that the third elder has understood that he cannot be an enemy of Merlin. He still puts the interests of the tribe first in his heart...

Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, and the third elder continued to ask with a straight face.

"Your Highness Elsa, I know that when you go out hunting, the danger will be greater, but this time Your Highness Elsa took thousands of people out, why did only less than ten come back? And she just happened to bring back these outsiders. , I have already asked those loyal dark elves, and the important reason for such great losses is those outsiders. I hope that Her Highness Elsa can give everyone a reasonable explanation."

A trace of anger flashed across Elsa's face, and before she could speak, the fourth elder grabbed Elsa and said with a cold face: "The story of this matter has been reported to the Presbyterian Council. I believe everyone knows that this time During the hunt, I not only encountered Orachis, but also strayed into the Night Canyon, and even met Duncan, the genius Ash Orc from a thousand years ago. Who among you is confident that you can come back alive in this situation? "

Elsa quickly added: "That's right, and we can come back alive because of Merlin's help. Without Merlin's help, none of us would be able to come back alive!"

The fifth elder said with a sullen expression, "These are all your one-sided words. Who knows whether this matter is true or false?"

The third boss glanced at the fifth elder with a stern look, and said in a serious tone: "How can you doubt Her Highness Elsa! Her Highness Elsa will never lie about this matter!"

Then the three of them looked around and looked at Elsa: "Your Highness Elsa, I want to ask you some questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."

"Your Highness Elsa, were you attacked inexplicably by Orachis after you met those outsiders?"

Elsa hesitated, looked around, and couldn't help but nodded.

"So, Your Highness Elsa, were those outsiders taking you to the Night Canyon?"

Elsa reacted immediately and quickly explained: "That's true, but..."

The third elder waved his hand, interrupted Elsa's words, and said with a cold face: "After these outsiders came to the tribe, some things happened in the tribe. First, they had conflicts with the people in the tribe, and within a few days after arriving, , hundreds of elites from the tribe disappeared inexplicably, and everything is related to these outsiders!
