Wearing a light green robe with luxurious gold patterns, the robe has no wrinkles, sword eyebrows are horizontally above the moonlight white pupils, and his face is expressionless, giving people a feeling of calmness and prestige.
"Is this the Elf King of Mirkwood?!"
Jose looked at the phantom below and swallowed his saliva. The moment the phantom of the Elf King appeared, he felt that he was locked by a breath. This feeling is like an ant facing an elephant, feeling like that Small.
Looking at the green dragon beside her, Olivia's body was already stiff, and her flapping wings trembled slightly.
The Elf King first glanced at the two dragons in the sky, then looked to the ground, swept over the centaur corpses on the ground, and frowned slightly when he saw the blood dripping from the polluted soil.
With a light wave of his hand, the centaur corpse on the ground disappeared, along with the soil stained by the devil's blood, as well as vegetation and so on.
Jose's pupils shrank. As a high-level mage, he didn't feel any energy fluctuations.
This shows that the power gap between the two is so large that the red dragon cannot understand it.
The legend is not enough to reach such a level, so there is only one explanation, above the legend - demigod!
hell!
With a demigod sitting in charge, how could the elves of Mirkwood be bullied to such an extent by the slave capture team? !
Jose couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart. He realized that perhaps he had really played it off this time. With such a huge power gap, any strategy would be futile.
Fortunately, he didn't feel the killing intent in the breath locked by the Elf King.
On the other side, Edith Windcutter looked up at the Elf King, a look of worry flashed in her eyes.
With the blessing of [Data Visualization], Jose also noticed this and was quite puzzled, but the elf at this time would not explain it to him.
He can only guess, is it possible that the Elf King is in ill health? !
On the other side, feeling the concern of his subordinates, the Elf King slightly nodded at Edith Windcutter: "Thank you for your hard work, I will take care of the next thing."
"Of order," Edith Caulcher rubbed her heart with one hand, bowed and stepped back, took a few steps and left with all the elves.
There were only two dragons and the Elf King left on the messy battlefield. The Elf King quietly looked at the red dragon in the sky, with surprise occasionally flashing in his eyes, as if looking at some kind of novel foreign object.
Jose felt a little uncomfortable being treated like a spectacle.
But after only a short while, he got used to it and turned to observe the Elf King.
A head of moonlight white hair emitting a hazy light, this is the most conspicuous feature of the Elf King, and it is also a major feature of the high elf - the Moon Elf.
That's right, as the ruler of the dark wood elves, the elf king is not a wood elf, but a moon elf, one of the three high-ranking elves.
In the southern Mirkwood, the king of the forest elves is not the forest elves, but the golden elves, one of the three high-ranking elves. The golden-haired golden elves are also called the sun elves.
During the period of the Elf Empire four thousand years ago, the three high-ranking elves of the sun, the moon, and the stars together constituted the aristocratic class of the Elf Empire, and the Elf Emperor was also held by the three races in turn.
But later, for unknown reasons, the three clans turned against each other and led their followers to fight, which kicked off the split of the elf empire.
There were no victors in that war, and the three high-ranking elves suffered heavy losses, and the star elves were even extinct in Tedanore.
Nowadays, the number of moon elves and sun elves is smaller than that of giant dragons, and they have lived in the core areas of their respective territories for a long time, so they are rarely seen by the outside world.
Elf kings are even rarer. Even the elves rarely see them. According to the information collected by Jose, the last time the Elf King of Mirkwood made an appearance in public was five hundred years ago, at the Dark Moon Festival once every thousand years. As for the shooting record, there is no such thing.
come! Everyone is a rare species, observe each other, who is afraid of whom!
With such thoughts in mind, Jose made no secret of his probing eyes.
Of course, Jose was not a reckless man. He already knew that the Elf King would not do anything to him, otherwise he would just kill or capture him back. Why bother to send Edith Windcutter away.
Now that his life is safe, he is naturally much more courageous and observes unscrupulously.
He hoped to find evidence from the projection of the Elf King to confirm some of his conjectures.
After a while, Edith Windcutter led the ranger away, and the Elf King said calmly, "Little Red Dragon, you are quite courageous."
"Emmm... , I think so too."
"I'm not praising you."
"It's nice to get a compliment, but it's okay if you don't."
"You are so presumptuous, are you not afraid that I will kill you?"
"I'm afraid, my dragon is very afraid of death," Jose said helplessly.
"But if you wanted to kill me, you would have done it a long time ago. Why wait until now, since you decided not to kill me, you must have your own considerations. In this case, I have nothing to be afraid of, let alone what's the use of being afraid. "
"Oh, you can see it."
There was a strange flash in the Elf King's eyes, and he smiled at the red dragon. This was the first time he had seen such a dragon.
Fear of death, many people are afraid of death, but not many people can say it openly, especially a red dragon who is arrogant by nature.
"Since you understand it in your heart, I'll just say it straight, I'm very angry now!"
The volume of the Elf King suddenly increased, and he stared at the red dragon with anger. His demigod momentum exploded, and the coercion hit the red dragon in the sky like a tsunami. The green dragon, Olivia, was affected and fell from the sky with a wail.
Jose's flight was unstable, and he instinctively activated [Phoenix Heart]. Even so, he felt like a boat in a storm, which might be overturned and sunk by the waves at any time.
"I thought about killing you! Enslaving you! Forcing you to protect my moon elves!"
"But I dare not," the Elf King frowned slightly, his voice was full of unwillingness and helplessness, and restrained his coercion at the same time.
On the other side, Jose was gasping for breath, but he had no time to think about anything else. He was confused and didn't understand what the Elven King was talking about.
dare not
What dare not
Don't you know half-talking is annoying? !
Jose looked at the Elf King and asked the doubts in his heart: "Don't you dare? Why don't you dare?"
The Elf King said lightly: "Once you are strong enough, someone will come to tell you the answer."
"Let's get down to business, the matter between Mirkwood and Morduo Peak Forest must be settled!"
After a pause, the Elf King continued: "Smart little dragon, maybe you have already seen that, just as you thought, I was injured, and it was very serious, but! Killing you is just a matter of waving your hand !"
"So, if you have any dissatisfaction, get rid of it as soon as possible, at least before you surpass Savannah."
There is no need for the Elf King to specifically explain this. For a long time, Jose has no idea about the Mirkwood, but maintains basic vigilance against his strong neighbors. Get out of the way.
"The current Mirkwood needs an ally to share the defensive pressure."
The Elf King looked at the red dragon with complex eyes: "And you are just right."
Jose breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, "It really is."
If it wasn't for Mirkwood that needed him, even if the Elf King couldn't kill him for some unknown reason, he would still have to clean up, so he would say as much as he does now.
"Of course, I won't let you pay in vain. Don't dragons like gold? I will give you a corresponding reward according to your dedication. The things of the elves are very valuable when transported to the human kingdom."
"I have an opinion."
"What opinion?"
"I like money, but what I need most now is not money, but knowledge and technology related to magic. In exchange for a reward, knowledge is used instead of reward. As for secular commodities such as artwork, I will exchange them with what the elves need. , and, I have a doubt."
Jose looked at the Elf King, hoping to find some information from his face: "You are so powerful, can't you solve the slave catcher's matter? What is involved behind this, I don't want to die unclear."
"Pay with knowledge, I can promise you that, as for your doubts."
The Elf King bowed his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and explained: "I can only tell you that things are far from being as simple as they appear on the surface, and you won't be able to tell for a while, and it's no good for you to know now."
"Your life, I can tell you clearly, the real big forces in Tedanol dare not do anything to you?"
Jose scratched like a cat's paw in his heart: "Can you tell me why?"
"I've already said it once, well, someone will come to you for the follow-up matter, you are a smart dragon, you should know how to do it."
After speaking, the Elf King's body turned into light green energy spots and disappeared.
Jose was suspended in the air in silence. Although the centaur incident and the troubles with Mirkwood were perfectly resolved, he was not as happy as he imagined.
Today, he accumulated too many doubts in his heart.
Why was the Elven King injured? Who can hurt a demigod-level powerhouse
What's the real reason behind Mirkwood Slavecatchers
The most important thing is, why do the real big forces of the Elf King and Tidanore dare not kill themselves
He also considered whether the Elf King was lying to him, but then overturned this idea. It was not even him who killed the legend by a demigod-level powerhouse. It was easy, and the Elf King had no reason to lie.
He had a hunch that if he could figure out the cause and effect of these three problems, then the reality of the Tidanol world would be completely revealed to him.
"He... he just left?!" Olivia flew up, still in shock.
Since the elf king's coercion was aimed at Jose, Olivia took control of her body after falling away from Jose, and listened to the conversation between the red dragon and the elf king.
"Jose! Let's go! I don't want to stay here any longer! This elf king is too dangerous!"
"Okay, let's go," Jose took a deep look into the depths of the dark forest, then turned and left.
In the final analysis, all doubts are due to insufficient strength. If he has enough strength, even if the Elf King doesn't say anything, he can still explore by himself.
But as the Elf King said, knowing some facts is not good enough, and it will only increase troubles.
Therefore, before he has the legendary strength, he does not consider pursuing the reality of the world.
"Jose, are we really going to ally with the elves?"
On the way back to Mordo Peak Forest, Olivia said worriedly: "This is an alliance with completely unequal strength, I am very worried."
"It's true that the strengths are completely unequal, but don't worry, you should be happy instead."
Jose detailed the benefits of cooperating with the elves to his allies: "First of all, the hostility problem of the last force in the northern prairie has been resolved. As long as there is no problem with the Red Nest Crypt, our rule over the Triangle Plain will be as stable as Mount Tai."
"Secondly, if a formal covenant is signed, there will be a basis for mutual trust. Through trade, Mirkwood can be turned into our cash cow."
"The most important thing is the knowledge of the elves. Think about it, the elves in Mirkwood have been passed down from the age of the elves to the present. What a rich historical accumulation, if you can get the knowledge accumulated by the elves, the biggest shortcoming of Mordo Peak Forest The board will be patched."
"What do we need to pay?"
"It's just to help the elves stop the slave catchers. In order to maintain the stability of the trade route, Thorn City will send patrol troops to fight against the robbers. Now it is only necessary to add a task of guarding against slave catchers, and there is no need to pay more extra cost."
Olivia thought about it, it really is the case, and the alliance with the elves is beneficial and harmless.
In this way, the Elf King is really a good man!
Of course, in this transaction, the elves did not suffer. With the help of the three dragon forces to defend the Mirkwood, the problem of slavery that was a serious concern in their hearts would be greatly alleviated.
Commodities such as elf art and other commodities are exchanged by the Three Dragons for other commodities. The only thing the elves pay is knowledge, and if knowledge is sent out, their own knowledge will not be reduced, and the elves will definitely not send core high-end knowledge, at least in the future. It will not be sent in vain until there is complete mutual trust.
It can be said that this is a win-win transaction.
On the second day after Sanlong returned to Mordo Peak Forest, the Elven King sent someone to come to the door, and signed a formal covenant in Jose's throne hall.
The content of the covenant is the same as that discussed by the Red Dragon and the Elf King, but some specific terms have been added, and many details have been determined, such as the respective defense areas, the communication method between the military cooperation between the two parties, and the list of goods for commercial trade.
The matter of the elf high-level druid-Anna and the elf ranger-Wells has also been put on the table, and the fact that they were transformed into red dragon families cannot be changed.
The bodies of the two elves are controlled by the red dragon, but their hearts are towards the elves.
It is precisely because both parties trust both of them, after discussion, Anna became the elf's ambassador to the Red Dragon, and Wells became the Red Dragon's ambassador to the Elf King's Court, serving as a channel for communication between the two parties.
Under the strong request of Wells, the elf Tiriel returned to the Mirkwood, and the centaur girl also regained her freedom.
But what surprised Jose was that the centaur girl did not leave, but stayed in the Mordo Peak Forest, and the reason why the centaur girl stayed was the centaur race.
