Chapter 297: Negotiating with Mother-in-law

If seriously counted, the total destruction of the high elven civilization occurred 718 years ago.
And the "time still enchantment" that envelops the city of Elsen is equivalent to a fragment of this civilization destroyed 718 years ago ... is completely stored here.
For more than 700 years, no one has discovered or explored Elson, but all the expeditions who entered this forest have come and gone without exception. Therefore, the clues that there are high elven remains here are becoming scarce, and even today, few people on the mainland even know the existence of "Elson City".
"Temporary static enchantment" obviously means that everything in the city is maintained in a "static" state-that is to say ... it is absolutely theoretically possible to see a living high elf after more than 700 years of.
But in the end, it feels weird. Therefore, the Holy Communist Arcanists are like enemies in an instant, and they gather all the Arcane energy into their hands almost immediately, ready to blast the old elves in front of them at any time.
"We are adventurers entering the city."
Spark thought about it, or answered the old man's question in high elven language, then squinted his eyes and asked softly, "Why do people in this city seem to disappear? Why are you here? "
The words were polite, but the fingers on his back were ready for "bound" arcane spells, and his body was tense, ready for combat.
"Disappeared? No ... Khadgar issued an order for emergency evacuation, but I'm too old, and evacuation doesn't make much sense, so I stay here." The old elf's eyes didn't seem very good, he took a few steps Looking back at Spark and others, his brows frowned, but his tone changed slightly: "Aren't you high elves? Ah ... when are humans eligible to come to Elson City?"
There were human beings seven hundred years ago, but at that time human beings obviously had no place on the continent, and were basically attributed to "barbarians". In the eyes of high elves, they were "uncivilized" lower races, so this old elven The words carried a little disdain.
But Spark and others looked at each other, and they obviously obtained a lot of information: the other party really did not know what year it is, and the "Kadgar" he mentioned was exactly the most senior Arcanist in Elson City. He even cast the "time still enchantment"-judging from the expression and tone of the other party, it seems that this guy is a high elven who lived more than 700 years ago.
"No, we are not humans but high elves, and we can explain this."
Spark was cautiously wording, but the old elf was not interested and waved his hand: "Go find someone, there aren't many people left in the city now, and the Khadgars don't know where to go ... Nor do the orcs retreat Go east as soon as possible. If you go to the king city of Wagra, you still have hope for salvation. Let's go early ... "
He stumbled away, Spark and others didn't catch up, but were more convinced of certain information.
"He doesn't know about time passing?"
"Maybe for him, the beginning and the end of the enchantment should happen at the same time. So, they still think that it is now more than 700 years ago?"
"At that time the orcs were attacking here? Then they were all residents who had no time to escape."
The team discussed a few words internally, and then decided to move on, but as expected, they did not take a few steps, they met another "high elf" walking on the street-this time the other party did not refuse to talk, but answered politely. Got Spark's question.
"You ask the library? There are three in the inner city, but the royal library is over there--" A fair-skinned female elf pointed to the corner of the inner city, and then pointed to the towering magic tower in the center. : "As for the" energy filling device "you said, it is in the tower. After the orcs attacked here, there were always heavy soldiers guarding them. The guards evacuated two days ago, but there should be a ban ... so I advise you not to go."
The elf's attitude is more friendly than the old man just now, but she is also worried: "I am afraid that the orc troops will launch an offensive. If you want to leave, leave as soon as possible. If you are late, you may be too late."
"Then why don't you go?"
"Me? My husband died outside the city, so ..."
She looked back in sorrow, and Spark quickly apologized, but the other party was obviously not in a good mood, stopped talking, and walked away silently.
"I think it's right over there." Spark always felt weird chatting with the high elves hundreds of years ago, but at this time all the evidence pointed to the possibility of their guessing, and the doubts in his heart gradually reduced.
It ’s just that the members of the "holy congregation" will never make a decision because of two sentences. They continue to walk on the streets of the inner city, contact three or four batches of high elves in succession, and tap and raise various questions. Only finally confirmed the authenticity of all information.
"The 'Energy Filler' should be in the central magic tower, but you need to break through the restrictions if you go in. And those books should be found in the royal library," Spark thought, looking at the huge inner city, frowning: "For safety, none of us can act separately-confirm the time, OK, go to the library first."
"Yes."
Each member responded in a low voice, then immediately followed the team-walking in the slightly weird eyes of the high elves, they felt that they were out of step with the city.
When Camilla opened her eyes again, she felt that her head was drowsy, and her eyelids were even worse.
The exhaustion in the past few days made her feel sore all over. At this time, she was covered with a warm fur blanket, and suddenly she had an inexplicable sense of comfort-she had not been lying so comfortably for a long time.
She remembered her twelve years in Mogla Village, and even more of her baby girl who shouted "Mother gets up" every morning ...
Nafi ...
Neffi?
As if in the blink of an eye, the memories before the coma burst into a flash, Camilla remembered her own series of encounters ... Encountering cavalry, encountering arrows, fighting face to face, and being hit by the guy named Roddy--
Then ... Camilla thought she was riding Roddy on her body and held her hands. The shameful posture made her feel hot and angry all at once!
Camilla, who is only 29 years old, secretly swears that ... if she has a chance, she must give this guy a break, even if he knows Nefi!
However, this emotion was only fleeting, and she quickly reacted that she had "fallen into the enemy" at this time. Gaze shifted, Camilla immediately found ... the face she wanted to flatten was now in front of her.
"Mrs. Camilla, your body is very weak, so I don't recommend doing anything irrational." Roddy sat aside, Camilla was unconscious for half an hour, and he had thought about it for a while How to persuade each other, so when seeing Camilla waking up, she went directly to the theme: "This city is very dangerous. I know that you must be mentally prepared since you are here, but what I want to say is ... here Dangerous, it is definitely beyond your imagination. "
Camilla was totally alarmist about Roddy's words. She didn't think that any human could know the secrets of Elson City, let alone that such a young man was qualified to preach in front of herself.
Roddy seems to be in his twenties. How many reliable young people besides talking and bragging?
Thinking of this, Camilla's gaze shifted slightly, but then she saw Akasha wearing a white robe and holding a gray staff. The priest was staring at her with undisguised hostility.
Such a situation made Camilla feel a little funny. In her eyes, although Roddy won herself in the battle, after all, it is just an ordinary human being, and the level of contact with the "Holy Church" is not the same. So she felt that at this time Rody's words were like a child's useless threat, and she was too lazy to listen.
"I don't know why you did this to me, but I still say ... if you want to enter the inner city, I will definitely stop you."
She raised her eyes slightly and looked straight at Roddy: "Although you didn't use any punishment or imprisonment against me, don't think about putting something useful in my mouth."
To Camilla's surprise, Roddy just nodded at this time, but did not continue to argue at all. Instead, she reached up and lifted her up, then took out a bowl of hot broth and brought it to her: "Some words, listen to me It's not too late to finish speaking. "
Camilla was a little annoyed by his strong behavior, but at this moment she was unable to shake it off. In the face of the fragrant broth, she also wanted to refuse, but she had no choice but to eat too little food these days, and her body had honestly produced an unspeakable hunger-after thinking about it, Camilla eventually reached over to take over.
After all, if Roddy wanted to harm her, she might have died 10,000 times just before she was unconscious.
After drinking some soup, Camilla felt as comfortable as immersed in hot water. Although she still had a lot of bad feelings about Roddy, the face seemed slightly pleasing to the eye.
Roddy has always been sitting opposite, calmly, he has been separated from the tension and embarrassment of facing "mother-in-law". Elson City is not a safe place. He doesn't have much sense of security here, so he is extremely fast. After forcing himself to calm down, he readjusted his identity-after all, it was negotiating ~ EbookFREE.me ~, and if he talked with a shorter generation, it was completely unhappy ...
He coughed softly, and then whispered the words he had thought of.
"The city of Elson is one of the greatest cities of the High Elves, and the defense system here gave birth to its own 'consciousness' under the influence of arcane, but for some reason it was eventually sealed by Arcanist Khadgar In the 'time stillness', I say so, right? "
Camila, holding the soup bowl, suddenly changed her face.
"There are a lot of secrets in this city, including their architecture, culture and even civilization, but what I think is the most worth exploring is perhaps the only" lost crystal "invention, right?"
Regardless of Camilla's tightly pursed lips, Rody stared calmly at her blue eyes like a lake, and continued: "More importantly ... this city was not attacked by orcs, defeat it It is its own defense system. "
"impossible!"
Camilla finally made a noise-but as a result, she had announced that she would lose one city in the negotiations.
