Chapter 141

This is the current situation - these Elven elders in the morning star forest actually know that it is no coincidence whether it is the ogre who suddenly launched the invasion or the broken tree wall.

There must be a terrible truth behind these things. They understand but don't want to believe it, because the truth is too cruel. I would rather deceive myself and others and insist that everything is just an accident.

Only by doing so can they tell the children of the settlement that these disasters will pass. As long as all the elves unite as one and fight bravely with the enemy, they can defeat the invading ogres and win the final victory.

But in fact, even they knew that the fairy settlements in the morning star forest and the whole eastern forest had suffered heavy losses in the last ogre invasion; If the scale of this invasion is the same or even larger than last time, the consequences... Unimaginable!

It was because of this that they agreed to let Luca negotiate with shenlinbao - because Morningstar forest really needs more support. No matter how much they deceive themselves and others, they can not change the current situation of lack of materials and manpower.

So Luca made a mistake from the beginning. He had hoped that Loren could convince these elders to see the truth of the reality. But in fact, they don't need it at all, because they don't know, but don't want to know.

What can I do to wake up a pretending sleeper?

Put the knife around his neck and chop it down without hesitation!

The reason why they are unwilling to face the truth is that even so, these Elven elders don't know what to do. They understand how terrible the enemy is, but they have no way to deal with it.

Under such a situation, how can we tell the soldiers of the settlement the bloody truth and let them fight a war doomed to be hopeless?!

This is what Loren wants to do. Give these Elven elders a little hope and see the possibility of success, they will be willing to support themselves unconditionally at any cost.

This is not gambling, but a sure thing from the beginning. Even if they don't want to believe in a human being, they are their only hope. Even for the continuation of the settlement and to survive the ogre invasion, they have no second way.

Of course, there must be an elf elder who is stubborn and adheres to his own opinions. After all, the elves are famous for their xenophobia and stubbornness; But the elder born was different - he had seen the tragedy of the eternal night forest and the blood sacrifice ceremony of mazka, and understood that what Loren said was not impossible.

The only thing Loren really wants to "persuade" is the elder born. After all, among all the Elven elders, this is the most authoritative one. If you convince him, he can convince the other elders for Loren.

So Loren didn't worry at all - what really worried him was the evil god named 'mezka'.

Even Asriel will feel afraid, and even constantly urge him to solve this threat, which is enough to prove that its strength has reached what level. If only Loren himself, I'm afraid even confronting it is wishful thinking.

Sometimes Loren really doesn't know whether he is lucky to be entangled by Asriel or he is too unfortunate.

"Dear Loren, how can you think so?"

The wronged young man lay on the black haired wizard's bed, as if saving his tragic fate: "don't we meet the choice of fate? It's a doomed thing!"

"First of all, please don't use rhetoric that is easy to cause misunderstanding."

The boy's "shameless" remarks made Lauren draw corners of his mouth, but it's not the first time anyway. He's used to it. Now there are more important things to solve: "secondly, I think a friend didn't treat me honestly."

"Be honest with each other?!" a trace of panic flashed in the boy's Scarlet eyes, and his thin body trembled: "I don't know. You still have... This hobby?!"

"... are you finished?"

After realizing that it was useless to play a wronged and pathetic look, Asriel immediately restored his original reserved smile: "as your best friend, Loren, I never hide anything from you. I just... Selectively don't tell you something."

"My rhetoric is not very good." Lauren also took out a formulaic smile and insisted impolitely: "please tell me what's the difference between the two?"

"Obviously, concealing a friend is tantamount to betrayal, and it will also hurt our friendship." the teenager said in a reasonable tone, "but not telling you something is just a means of protection, not to mention some unimportant things."

"It's not important? When do you think it's more important to tell me?"

"It's very important now. After all, you're going to fight it right away!"

Asriel's mouth slipped a playful smile: "you must be considerate of me, dear Lauren - if I tell you everything, it will hurt you... If you know too much 'truth' without knowing it, you will completely collapse and carry the 'debt' that can never be paid off!"

"It seems that I have to thank you." he narrowed his eyes slightly, and Lauren smiled: "then why are you willing to tell me now?"

"Because it is our common threat." the boy tilted his head and blinked his eyes. "And it can come to this world, which means that some rules have begun to 'loosen'."

"Just like you?" Lauren pretended to be casual.

"... it's different." the boy showed a bright smile, obviously aware of Loren's purpose: "I can leave the cellar because of my dear Loren, and I can only use the power of this body."

"As for mezka, it seems that it can use some unimaginable power - in other words, it is more complete and powerful than me."

Asriel didn't tell the truth. It was Loren's reaction. But he never expected this guy to tell himself all the facts.

Asriel can only show some special power through himself; The 'mazka' seems to be able to do it automatically, otherwise it can't explain where the residue of void power comes from.

Is it because of the blood sacrifice ceremony, or is it related to "believers"? If it is really because of faith, how powerful should the "Holy Cross" with thousands of devout believers in the Empire be?

Although I have told myself countless times, this world is completely different from the one I once belonged to. But when he realized that the "gods" he didn't care about might be real and hold terrible power, Loren could feel a trace of tension in his heart.

This is a force that you can't resist at all. Maybe you don't even have the power to fight back. Even with asrell, there is no guarantee that he will survive.

Nothing is more terrible than the unknown. With flashing eyes, Loren recalled his last dream - maybe "Dalton" was right. He was never brave and made up his mind only after he was fully sure.

"Although 'mazka' is really powerful, dear Loren, you don't have to worry too much." the boy put his hands behind his head: "its power can't be unlimited - if not, the ancient wood forest would have been flattened by the ogre."

"What's more, you still have Asriel. Our interests in this matter are the same, and it is our common threat." the blood red pupils flow slightly: "this time I will do my best to help you, so never worry!"

"Can't you use your power?" Lauren raised his eyebrows. "I guess in the end, you still want me to work hard with this evil god, right?"

"Are you willing to let Asriel do such a dangerous thing?" the boy showed a pitiful expression and a funny smile on the corners of his mouth: "but I can give you a chance to face off."

"A little luck, a little chance, plus your wisdom - my dear friend, it is not invincible. At least for you, it is definitely not!"
