Vol 2 Chapter 40: Candidate for the messenger (below)

Sir Aaron's expression Loren was not surprised.
Although the Principality of Lotel is on the border of the entire empire and bordered by ancient wood forests, in fact, no one has really seen it for more than a hundred years. Wimpar's wizards can only see records of these behemoths in the literature and some historical materials.
If it is not seen with my own eyes, I am afraid that Sir Aaron will not believe that there are ogres in this world.
Even Luca was very surprised that Loren would meet the ogres in the Deep Forest. According to him, he had never heard of any ogres that had reached the land east of the ancient wood forest.
At the same moment, the elves of the ancient wood forest encountered an ogre invasion that had never been seen in a century. If it were not winter that came earlier than in the past, I am afraid that this invasion will not stop.
Is just an accident, or predicts what, and Loren can't speculate right now. But in any case, as long as Duke Lothal does not plan to fight the ogres in person, supporting the elves is his only option.
At least it ’s better to do it in your own territory than to fight against a group of unheard of monsters. As the first
defense line
for the entire Duke, the elves of the ancient wood forest will fight the ogre even for their own home Last minute.
The two evils have the right to take the light, the Duke Lothal will not understand the truth-using some optional materials in exchange for the "protection" of the elves without sacrifice, it can not be more cost-effective.
Knowing this, Loren would not hesitate to agree to Luca's request in exchange for these elf reinforcements. Because even if Luca did not agree, I am afraid that in the end the Duke of Lothal would still agree to support.
"Although thank you very much for your kindness, Lord Earl, we must return as soon as possible to defend our settlement."
In the castle hall, Luca with a gentle smile, with a little apology, salutes the young count: "The harsh winter is about to pass, and when the spring snow melts, the ogres will invade again!"
"I have sent the letter, and he certainly understands the seriousness of the matter." The young earl nodded solemnly: "If he does not agree, I will go to him personally-thanks to you I have not been The traitor cut his head, and I will never forget such a relationship! "
"And we will never forget your friendship." Lucca was very grateful, but looked at the Loren behind the count, and soon staggered: "The elves of the ancient wood forest will always be you friend."
This was originally agreed between him and Loren. If you can really get the friendship of Lu Wen, then the elves of the ancient wood forest have the opportunity to form an alliance with the Principality of Lothal, which is even more important to them than a batch of supplies.
There is an ally sitting in the Principality. The elves of the ancient wood forest will never have to worry about the safety of the east, and can get more supplies to resist the invading ogres and strengthen their settlements.
As Loren said, the times are different. The elves who do not depend on humans cannot continue to survive; without the elves as barriers, humans cannot resist enemies they have never seen before.
"Is there anything else I need before I leave?" Lu Wen asked very enthusiastically: "You're welcome, as long as I can do it, I can satisfy you. I never be stingy with friends!"
Hearing this sentence, he suddenly hesitated and smiled slowly: "In fact ... we really need your help."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"Although we believe in your credibility, our clans are not necessarily." The elves explained: "As you know, the vast majority of elves are not very able to believe in humans. Many of my clans are from They have n’t left the ancient wood forest. They do n’t know if you will keep your promise. "
"Well ... this is indeed a problem." Seeing the other person's embarrassed expression, Lu Wen, who was always casual, didn't care much about his "disrespect" for himself in the discourse, but just nodded: "Then how can I let them Believe it, do you need me to send the knights to fight the ogre with you? "
"That's not necessary. I'm afraid my people will find it difficult to accept the presence of a human army in the forest." The elf replied apologetically: "You only need to prove that you will keep your promises, that's enough."
"For example ... send a celebrity by your side to go to the ancient wood forest with us as a messenger."
Hearing this, Loren immediately jumped in the corner of his eyes—he had already seen Luca smile at himself.
"Your psychic advisor, Lord Loren Turin, showed an amazing style when he first met us. I am quite sure that he will definitely help you and win the friendship of all the elves in the ancient wood forest!"
Sure enough, the smiling Luca said with a very gentle tone: "If I choose it, Lord Loren Turin is simply suitable as your messenger."
"Well, I think so too." The young earl nodded in excitement, and then turned his eyes to the dark-haired wizard behind him: "What do you think, Loren? Just tell me, if you don't want to, I You will never be forced to go! "
Although saying so, Lu Wen's expression is already equivalent to telling him that the Earl lord very much hopes he can go.
The corners of the mouth gently brushed a touch of arc, and the dark-haired wizard bowed gracefully: "Your wizard advisor, send at any time after listening."
"Then I will give you a vital mission." Lu Wen was happy like a child, but he deliberately took the posture of the lord: "Use your best sincerity to win the trust of the ancient wood forest elves!"
............ "I hope my approach will not harm our previous friendship, His Excellency Loren Turin."
Just left the castle hall, Luca stopped the black-haired wizard. There is also a little apology in the expression: "If possible, please accept my apology."
"There is nothing to apologize." Loren shook his head with a smile: "I'm just curious, why do you want me to be a messenger and go to the ancient wood forest?"
"I mentioned earlier, this is to make my people believe in Lord Earl."
"I heard it too, but if you plan to continue to lie, you should apologize to me."
Loren showed a very playful expression: "In the words of my best friend, I am a full liar-so, I can also see if other people are lying ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Luca froze. For a moment, he sighed bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
"I knew I wasn't a liar, but I didn't want to be seen through by you so quickly." Slightly owed, the elf put away a smile and solemnly looked at the dark-haired wizard: "You're right , Not just for this reason. "
"In fact, this invasion of ogres is completely different from what we had imagined-not just the ogres themselves, but behind them, there is clearly something driving them. One kind we have never seen Something I've never touched before. "
"Maybe in your human eyes, ogres and monsters are already terrifying enough. But for elves, they are our old enemies, and I am afraid I know these obese monsters better than themselves!"
"I have personally battled these monsters. They used to harass our territory on a regular basis, but they have never been like this now. This must be a reason." Luca's eyes were very worried: "But the elders in the settlement If you do n’t see it that way, they still see the invasion as usual, only on a larger scale. "
"... So, do you want me to be an outsider and help you persuade the elves of the elves to settle down?"
Loren's expression is a little strange: "Are you too confident in me?"
"not me."
The elf smiled and shrugged slightly: "But another person suggested this to me-since you can use a bunch of rhetoric to convince us to fight for your count, then it shouldn't be a problem to convince a group of stubborn old people! The original words. "
"She?" The black-haired wizard raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, she." Luca raised her lips: "Our best war dancer, Liya."
