The officer was overjoyed and said:
"That's great. I was really worried that something might happen after being away from the city gate for so long!"
After thanking the high-ranking knights again and again, the officer left the upper level and prepared to return to his post.
But not long after he left, he was stopped by the guards who had let him pass earlier:
"Stop, this is the inner city! If you are not a knight, you cannot pass through here freely!"
"But you just let me go!?"
The officer found it incomprehensible.
"We know that, but you are not a Knight of Nuremberg and you cannot pass freely! So we have to arrest you first. For the sake of your life, do not even think about resisting!"
The knights took it for granted.
"Ah? Then why did you let me pass before?!"
The officer was completely confused. How come everything was fine when he came, but changed when he went back
In response to the officer's question, the knights said incredulously:
"We don't know either, but rules are rules! Alright, surrender now, or we'll be rude to you!"
The officer was caught in a daze by the equally confused knights.
But the scary thing is that even though they have discovered the 'abnormality', no one is paying attention to it or thinking about it.
177 You should come back to Rivendell with me (5k)
Because they clearly knew that they could not let the officers who had left Miss Elf continue to move forward unimpeded, but no one thought of arresting Miss Elf, who was obviously a bigger problem.
Even after they captured the officer, they completely forgot that an elf had just been there!
On the other side, the high-ranking knights were taking the elf lady to the secret room of the Grand Duke of Nuremberg.
After turning left and right in the complex corridor.
The knights finally brought the elf lady to a room with a blazing fire.
In this room, an old man was sitting on a recliner in front of the fireplace, but he did not lie down. Instead, he sat on it and added firewood to the fireplace from time to time.
Miss Elf couldn't help but frowned slightly after taking a look at the firewood added by the other party.
But soon everything returned to normal.
The old man noticed the visitor and stopped adding firewood. He turned around, took a towel from the fireplace and wiped his hands while saying:
"What are you doing here?"
The high-ranking knight on the left bowed his head respectfully and said:
"Respected Demigod Mogan. This elf lady wants to see His Excellency the Grand Duke!"
The demigod Mogan nodded in understanding, and after taking a look at the elf lady, he put the towel that had turned black and red back to its original place, and then turned around to add more fire to the fireplace.
"That guy is discussing something important with an important guest. Miss, could you please wait for a while?"
The elf lady looked at the fireplace in front of the demigod Mogan and asked:
"Who is that guest?"
Mogan Demigod said directly:
"It was Saragan's people. I don't know their names. I haven't been involved in any of this for many years. If you elves hadn't attacked me this time, I wouldn't want to get involved in these things. I just want to enjoy my old age!"
"What do you know about that Saragan?"
"I've already told you I don't care. Okay, okay, don't look at me like that. I only know that he should be a Saragan noble, and when I saw him, my intuition told me that this guy is not good. He can't be a high-sequence transcendent. He should be something else."
The elf lady nodded slightly, then looked at the fireplace where Mogan Demigod kept adding firewood and said:
"Are they in here?"
"Yes, it's in the fireplace. A great seal, isn't it? Who would have thought that such a common fireplace is the only first-class seal in Nuremberg?"
Demigod Mogan seemed to like this fireplace very much, so much so that after mentioning the fireplace, he began to talk nonstop:
"Let me tell you, I never thought that after I killed that guy, his extraordinary characteristics would not only not dissipate, but instead condense into such an interesting seal! And the cost of using it is really low."
"It's just a human heart! Well, I heard that the cost of using a sealed item is sometimes related to the habits of the extraordinary person before his death. So, does this guy like to eat human hearts? Wow, that's really a pervert!"
The elf lady who had been looking at the fireplace interrupted him:
"Maybe he doesn't like eating human hearts, but simply wants to eat your heart?"
This answer made Mogan the demigod stunned for a moment, but soon he said indifferently:
"It doesn't matter. How should I put it? No matter if he is really a pervert or hates me, I have to thank him. If he wasn't so perverted or hated me, I wouldn't be able to get a high-level seal with such a low use value."
As he spoke, Demigod Mogan threw a heart that seemed to be still beating slightly into the blazing fire.
"Life is not a cheap commodity."
Miss Elf said indifferently.
"That depends on who you are. My life is very valuable, and your life should be valuable too, but slaves' lives are not valuable, at least not to me, and not at all in the entire East!"
Mogan demigod waved his hand to deny the Elf lady's cognition. At the same time, he looked at the Elf lady with a smile and said:
"And you have destroyed quite a few countries in recent days. If that's the case, what are these slaves?"
Miss Elf shook her head and said:
"When we are not at war, we don't kill and abuse animals."
"Animals? Oh my god, I've heard of them before, but do you really think so?"
Mogan, the demigod, stopped adding fuel to the fire in astonishment, took the increasingly dark red towel, wiped his hands, and said to the Elf lady with interest:
"Don't you know that the animals you are talking about are now the dominant species in this world? Or do you think that you elves can easily kill all of us 'animals' if you want to?"
The elf lady tilted her head slightly and said with a smile:
"Without the Savage God, this would be very easy. After all, you don't even know how to treat your own kind well. Although you have a good culture, technology and even military power, you are still as primitive as animals. No, animals are more normal than you."
"Oh, Savage God, my God, the gods are being blasphemed like this, um, they are indeed arrogant elves."
Demigod Mogan put down the extremely black and red towel. He looked at Miss Elf very seriously and said:
"When we counterattack, I hope you can appear on the battlefield. In this way, I can take off your head and exchange it for some money from the gods. Of course, I think such a beautiful head is very suitable even if I just collect it!"
Miss Elf shook her head in amusement and said self-deprecatingly:
"I actually talked to a group of animals for so long. All right, open your seal. I want to go in."
Mogan Demigod immediately shrugged helplessly and said:
"Okay, as you wish. I clearly told you that we were meeting guests inside. You are such an ignorant elf. I can't believe that the nobles are so proud of learning your culture and etiquette."
Although Demigod Mogan felt that he hated this elf, he still opened the seal.
In the blazing fire, a circular flame channel suddenly appeared. On the opposite side of the channel was the Grand Duke of Nuremberg in an ancient room and the Saragan nobles mentioned by the demigod Mogan.
The other party seemed surprised by the sudden opening of the door by Mogan Demigod. They all stood up suspiciously and looked towards the flame passage.
But after the elf lady came in, they all sat back in their original seats quietly and continued their previous conversation.
Before the flame tunnel disappeared, Miss Elf suddenly turned back and said to Demigod Mogan:
"Remember to die."
Mogan Demigod's eyes shrank slightly, and then he said with great surprise and amusement:
"Why should I listen to you and die?! Why can you let me die with just one sentence?"
Before Demigod Mogan could finish his words, the flame channel had completely dissipated.
And his actions are completely opposite to his words!
The demigod Mogan turned around and smiled at the knights incredulously:
"That elf actually told me to die? That's hilarious!"
While the knights were also laughing, he tore open the flesh on his chest with his hands, revealing the heart inside which was still beating slowly but strongly.
"Have all the elves gone mad nowadays? They let a demigod die with just one sentence? Hehehe!"
Demigod Mogan reached out and took out his own heart in a state of amusement and was completely unaware of it.
Neither the demigod Mogan nor the knights watching turned a blind eye to this scene.
Looking at the heart that was still beating, Mogan Demigod couldn't help but exclaimed:
“How beautiful!”
Immediately, his whole body went limp and collapsed.
Because he lost his heart, Demigod Mogan's face began to turn extremely pale, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the tear on his chest.
But even so, he did not die. Demigods have transcended the concept of humans. They are beings that can be called "Him".
They may have "fatal organs" like ordinary people, depending on their sequence. However, injuries that are fatal to ordinary people are nothing to most of them.
First, their bodies are no longer the same as humans', and second, almost every sequence has some form of substitutionary death.
But they are not immortal!
Because all the originals will die!
The demigod Mogan, who was lying on the ground, looked at the heart that belonged to him in his hand with almost obsession.
After staring for a long time, the knight next to him reminded:
"Respected Demigod Mogan, the fire in the furnace doesn't seem to be burning so vigorously!"
This reminded Mogan the demigod, and he immediately said with a smile:
"Yes, the fire is almost out, but it doesn't matter, it will be strong again soon!"
After saying that, he actually threw his heart into the fire, and the next moment the flames in the fireplace instantly burst out and filled the entire room!
The demigod Mogan and two high-level knights were all engulfed in flames.
In front of the flames fueled by the demigod's heart, the two high-ranking knights were instantly reduced to ashes, but the demigod Mogan persisted for a long time.
But he, who threw such an important concept as the heart into the fire with his own hands, could not escape death no matter what.
In the increasingly fierce fire, Mogan, who was a demigod, was completely reduced to food for the fire.
The unknown demigod finally ate the heart that he wanted to eat the most!
-
In the Hearthfire Room, the Elf Lady was looking around at the house created by the seal.
This should be a house where the extraordinary person lived during his lifetime. After he became a sealed object, he made it up for some reason.
The Grand Duke of Nuremberg and the Saragan nobles continued to argue as if no one was around:
"You bunch of Saragan monkeys! Don't you understand the situation? The long-ears have discovered our little secret! They're here to seek revenge on me!"
"If you don't send reinforcements to our Merchant Alliance, not only will we be doomed, but you won't be able to escape either!"
The Saragan noble sneered and said:
"I admit that we did reach a contract to poach elves, but it's just a contract. We Saragans have never bought elves from you! It's you who will be doomed, and we Saragans have nothing to do with this matter!"
This tone of completely keeping himself out of the matter completely angered the Grand Duke of Nuremberg, and he roared:
"Don't think you can get away with it this way. I'm telling you!"
"If you don't send reinforcements, I will just shake off all your dirty tricks! No one will have an easy time!"
"You don't really think that the long-eared ones will let you go, do you? Don't forget, you were able to become a noble only because those long-eared ones worked tirelessly to kill all the old nobles above you generation after generation!"
At this point, the Grand Duke of Nuremberg realized something was wrong and said:
"No, you were killed by the elves like this, why do you still dare to talk to me about poaching? What are you planning?"
As he spoke, the Grand Duke of Nuremberg said angrily:
"It was you. It was you who leaked the news to the elves. You wanted to see our business alliance and the long-eared people fighting each other, and then you sit back and reap the benefits?!"
Yes, he did reach a poaching agreement with the Saragans a while ago. He was responsible for catching the elves, and the Saragans were responsible for taking the risk and reselling. The Saragans also promised a 6:4 split!
