"After careful discussion, your excellency Loren Turin, we are ready to accept your proposal..."

In the long house at the top of the cloud canopy tree, the dignified elder boon's eyes were bloodshot, and the elf elders beside him were all tired. It was obvious that they had just experienced a long debate.

In order to convince the other elders, Boone almost did everything he could to convince them that what the human wizard said was not a fabricated illusion, but a very possible fact.

Even so, the astonishing "truth" shocked the elders, even forgot the purpose of the debate at the beginning, and took a long time to fully accept what Bowen said.

But no matter how absurd the reality is and whether the human wizard deserves their trust, there is no time now - the war dancers in half of the eastern forest have been assembled, and they must make a decision immediately.

"I'm very grateful for the trust of the elders." Lauren bowed and saluted slightly, even without concealing his pride: "I will do my best to help you..."

"But before that, we must first listen to your plan." an elf elder sitting on the left interrupted him, "otherwise we can't promise so easily!"

That sounded defensive but helpless, which made Lauren's smile more gentle: "of course, I'll tell you the whole plan completely."

"According to the records of the morning star forest, it is at least a month's journey from the big tree wall to the Yongye forest, and there must be ogre settlements everywhere along the way. The closer it is, I'm afraid there will be more people - so if a large army is really sent on an expedition, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties before reaching the Yongye forest."

Loren, standing in the center of the hall, talked to several Elven elders as if he were the master here, and the elders were just guests sitting with him to listen to his speech.

"Therefore, the number of this expedition cannot be large. It should be controlled within 100 - in addition, it must have enough strength to fight against a small number of Ogres; and it must have one or two guides who are familiar with the road before they can successfully reach the Yongye forest."

"What if I meet an ogre settlement on the road?" an elf elder said.

"It's very simple. As long as you can bypass them, you don't have to fight them."

"What?!"

"Please note that the purpose of the whole plan is to reach the Yongye forest, not to recapture the lost homeland of the elves - what's more, for a team with only 100 people, any avoidable losses must be avoided as far as possible. As long as it will not hinder our ultimate goal, all battles are unnecessary."

In fact, according to the most ideal state, it should not conflict with any enemy all the way, and it is only right to raid Yongye forest. But the difficulty is too high. In a forest full of Ogres, it is almost impossible.

According to Loren's plan, I'm afraid there will be at least two or three emergencies along the way - if it's a small number of Ogres, wipe them out in situ, and if it's a whole settlement, try to avoid its edge; Only when it is unavoidable can we find ways to encircle and suppress them.

On the premise of not being found, launch a surprise attack on the ogre in yongyelin as soon as possible, which is the core of the whole plan.

"It sounds reasonable." elder boon whispered, "but after the raid on the eternal night forest? What are you going to do to defeat the evil god 'mazka'?"

"I have my own way." the dark haired wizard calmly replied, "if I can't do it, I won't take the initiative."

"Can you tell us how sure you are?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know?!"

"Of course I don't know!" Luo ethics said of course: "whether I or you, we are facing unprecedented enemies! Except for a few information, we simply don't know it, even what it looks like!"

"For such an unknown existence, any advance prediction and plan are stupid and can only make things worse - all we can do is prepare as much as possible and strive for more favorable conditions, that's all!"

"The only thing I can guarantee is that I will do my best - either win or lose. It's so simple. In addition, I can't give you any more assurances!"

"If you win, all the problems of nature will be solved. Without the coming evil god, the ogre settlement will collapse immediately and even flee in panic. This was verified when the tree wall was built - and that time, I just used a magic to offset the residual traces of mazka's power!"

"If I lose, I can't live." Loren put his hands on his back and his eyes were calm: "what you lose is only a human ally. Even in order not to let the ogre invade the territory, Duke lottel will continue to support you."

Just a few words of "truth", not even much guarantee, but also let the elders here relax - this is an opportunity, an opportunity to end the ogre invasion without paying too much.

With a long sigh, elder Boone finally made up his mind: "I have to admit that you convinced us, Lord Loren Turin."

"But... We must put more strength on resisting the invasion of ogres. So how many war dancers will be willing to join you is entirely voluntary."

"Of course, as a trust in you, we will send the 20 best war dancers of chenxinglin to follow you and obey your orders - but the soldiers of other settlements will depend on you."

Standing outside the hunting beach, Loren met Ayn Rand, who had been waiting for him for a long time, and stood cramped in front of the black haired wizard.

"I, I have discussed with several elves, and several have agreed to join the expedition." the little wizard bowed his head: "there are just many direct rejections, and they still intend to stay in the big wall... Sorry, they can't help too much."

Lauren was silent for a moment, raised his hand and put it down again: "you don't need to do these... In these things... It's not worth paying so much."

"No." a smile appeared on AI Yin's face: "in fact, I'm very happy that I can help so many elves in need, make friends with them and learn new knowledge..."

"The most important thing is... I'm no longer a burden around you. This is very important - we are friends and partners fighting side by side. You can't bear all the burden alone."

No... Ayn Rand, you don't understand. I don't just want to help these elves, but to make them appreciate me. I have become the link between the elves and the Principality of lottel, so as to ensure that the Earl ruven Fred won't throw me away after I'm used up.

More or less, Loren wanted to protect vimpal college. After all, if their status will not be shaken, when ruwen becomes a duke, the Wizards of the whole lottel principality will be able to get some protection.

Of course, Asriel... He has become an "unbreakable alliance" with this guy. If the evil god finds out and plans to kill it, the other party will not be kind enough to let him go.

Gratitude, human affection and the threat of life are the real reasons for Loren Turin and the real reasons for his promise - but such things can't be said at all, especially in the face of small wizards.

Looking at the pure smile, how could he say

"... thank you."

"As I said, we are friends fighting side by side. Don't say thank you to me." the reddish Ayn took out the wand from behind and handed it to the black haired Wizard: "take it and convince those elves. This is what you are best at, big liar!"

"I will cherish it - in other words, does this wand have a name?"

The little wizard was stunned for a moment, nodded slowly, and looked at Lauren solemnly:

"It's called the tree heart."
