Chapter 140

"Before I begin, allow me to ask one more question."

Standing in the middle of the long house, Loren was surrounded by the Elven elders. He gently raised his right hand with a smile and snapped his fingers: "what you want from me is the truth... Or the truth you want?"

The elders, who had a gentle look, suddenly cooled down. Elder boon coughed: "Lord Loren Turin, we invite you to come here to..."

"I want to tell you respected elders that everything that happened in the big wall was an accident and had nothing to do with any external factors!"

Robbed of the words, Loren continued to say: "this year's ogre invasion is no different from the past. As long as the eastern elves unite as one, they will be able to overcome difficulties and defeat strong enemies... In short, that's all. Where I'm wrong, I hope to point out my mistakes."

"You..."

"If you really want to listen to my nonsense, I don't need to stay any longer, let alone provide any support from the Principality of lottel!" after a farewell ceremony, Loren's tone was full of ridicule: "may you win, defeat the strong enemy, and I'll leave first!"

"Stop --!"

As soon as the dark haired wizard turned around, the elder born sitting in the chair directly stood up: "Lord Loren Turin, we regard you as a guest, but we don't give you the right to humiliate us at will!"

"This is the morning star forest, not where you can go in and out at will!" another elder roared angrily: "if you don't want to help us, what's your heart?"

Loren, who turned his back to the elves elders, slightly tilted his mouth, but deliberately shook his head and spread out his hands: "I thought I had proved with action what I came to do."

The elder elves who had just stood up were speechless at once - they had heard about the big wall from Luka's mouth. Without this human wizard, it would be nonsense to recapture the gap.

Now, it's a joke that I have to question the other party's heart.

"Please forgive our improper use of words, but please don't try to provoke us." calm down and reach a tacit understanding with the elders around. Elder boon slowly said, "if you really find something, we are willing to listen and then make a judgment."

After pondering for a moment, Loren's eyes always focused on elder boon - the elf elder is the most authoritative one in the morning star forest, and he is the only one he wants to convince.

"I want you to tell me how much you know about ogres?"

"It's clear." elder Boone sat steadily in his chair, with a proud look on his face: "I used to be a war dancer. There can't be a second elf in the whole morning star forest settlement, or even the whole eastern forest who knows these monsters better than me."

"That's why I don't believe these monsters will master any strange power, or suddenly become smart - they are very terrible monsters, extremely cruel, but it doesn't mean they have brains!"

"They have no brains, but they still have faith." Loren said faintly, "just as elves believe in the power of ancient wood, ogres also believe in gods... Of course, they must be evil gods."

"Yes, they often hold a huge ceremony after slaughtering an elf settlement, if you call it a ceremony." elder boon's expression became heavy:

"We call it 'mazka' because that's what the ogres call it."

"Have you heard it once?"

"Only once." elder boon looked very ugly: "maybe in your opinion, we will only shrink behind the big tree wall, but in fact, the war dancers in the morning star forest have also expedited outside the wall, fought with ogres farther away in the ancient wood forest, and even rebuilt the ancient settlement!"

"Yes, once the settlements of elves in the eastern forest were all over the big trees and walls, and the brave war dancers even hunted giant monsters in the wilderness of the south."

The black haired wizard nodded slightly: "but now the power of the ogre has spread all over the big wall, and the former settlements no longer exist."

This is one of the biggest advantages of Asriel. As long as Loren spends little time scanning the treasures of the morning star forest settlement, he can "keep all the contents in mind" and take them out when necessary.

"Not all." elder boon replied coldly, "we once revived the night forest outside the big tree wall, where the cloud canopy trees are as old as the morning star forest. Unfortunately, we failed."

"Hundreds of war dancers in the whole eastern forest fought bloody battles to protect the Yongye forest, but they still failed! We watched the elves in the whole settlement be slaughtered, screamed and wailed like livestock, and became the sacrifice of 'mazka'!"

Elder Boone's voice trembled: "you've never seen such a scene. You've only read it in words, so don't tell me how terrible ogres are and how cowardly we are. You know nothing at all!"

"I only know one thing." Loren slowly raised his head and looked at the trembling elf elder. "Since then, the war dancers in the eastern forest have never crossed the big tree wall again."

"What the hell are you trying to say?!"

"I want to say that all of you inadvertently made a big mistake." the black haired wizard slowly said, "whether it's destroying the big wall or driving the ogre to invade, these forces have gone beyond all imagination and are not something that any ordinary creature can do."

"The only one who can do this is' mazka '- what you don't know is that the blood sacrifice awakened the evil god and made it come to the world."

"What are you talking about?!"

"It's impossible!"

"How could this be?"

It was normal for them to be surprised. When Loren heard it from Asriel, he was not much less surprised than them.

"I just tell you what I saw with my own eyes and what I know." the black pupils reflected the stunned and even overwhelmed appearance of the elves. Loren's expression gradually became dignified: "this war can be ended by unusual means!"

The Elven elders didn't hear what he said. They were still arguing fiercely, looking flustered and disordered. The sudden "answer" had made them lose their reason, and they didn't even know whether they should believe it or not.

"All quiet --!"

Elder Boone, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly shouted, and the noisy hall was silent again: "then according to what you said, what can we do to end this ogre invasion?"

"Very simple."

The black haired wizard looked at the elders present with a proper expression: "just like in those years, how did the war dancers recapture the eternal night forest? This time, they still recaptured it in the same way!"

"You, you don't mean..."

"Expedition outside the big tree wall, recapture the eternal night forest and drive 'mezka' back to where it should go - this is the only way to end this ogre invasion that should not have happened!"

"It's easy for you to say, such a thing..."

"What should we do?" Bowen interrupted the angry elder and stared at Loren's expression: "if we really organize an expedition, can you guarantee that the 'evil god' can be expelled from the world?!"

"I'm absolutely sure, otherwise I won't say it."

Lauren's expression was as usual, as if he were saying something insignificant: "since it was my suggestion, of course I would join the expedition myself."

"Please believe my sincerity, because I'm not just fighting for you; if the ogre army destroys you, the next step is the Principality of lottel. If possible, I don't want to see that day!"

Bowen gave him a complicated look and fell into hesitation. He hesitated for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "this needs to be discussed carefully. We'll inform you when we figure it out. Now please go back and have a rest."

"I will try my best to help you." the cold eyed black haired wizard glanced at them and turned away.

"But the premise is that you can really trust me, not be vigilant!"
