All night long, there was no peace outside the hotel. From time to time, groups of elf patrols passed by on the road outside the window. Fortunately, the commotion at the dock did not spread to the interior of the city. At dawn, the city finally returned to normal.

It's just that there are many more patrols on the streets, leaving the Jade Palace still in a tense atmosphere.

The police sergeant, who had been out all night inquiring about news, arrived at the Sanjiache Hotel along the eaves. At this time, an elf patrol was talking to the hotel owner. The police sergeant carefully avoided the sight of the patrolman and faced the patrolman provocatively.

The hound bared its teeth and quickly got into the hotel.

The hound wanted to catch up, but the patrolman pulled the leash.

"Mr. Archer... the royal court issued an order this morning. No gatherings of more than eight people are allowed in public places in the royal court within two days. As a business owner who runs a hotel, please be sure to abide by the royal order. We will

Come check in anytime.”

Archer replied: "As a human businessman who comes to the Emerald Court to do business, I will definitely abide by the king's order and restrain my guests not to gather. Can you tell me what happened so that I can explain it to the guests?

.”

The elf patrol said: "I can't tell you too much about what happened specifically. Please just abide by it. The ban will not be enforced for a long time. I believe that the royal court will soon find a solution to the trouble.

Please note that although Wang Ling does not prohibit residents from going out, if there is nothing necessary during these two days, it is better to stay in the room."

"I understand. I will tell my guests about Wang Ling immediately."

"The Lord Elf bless you!"

The elf patrol who came to give the notice took the hound and left. After Archer looked around, he turned and returned to the hotel.

At this time, the Sheriff was in Qingkong's room.

He lay on the table, sticking out his tongue and licking the milk from the plate, while vividly recounting the news he heard.

The riot last night did not only occur at the dock, but many factories in the port area suffered varying degrees of impact and damage.

The news of the appearance of headhunters in the forest has spread to the Emerald Royal Court. The elves' lack of understanding of the headhunters has increased their fear of them. It seems that the Emerald Forest is full of headhunters and the Emerald Royal Court has been surrounded by headhunters.

The forest protection organization took advantage of this moment to define the emergence of the headhunters as a punishment from the elves' main god, a punishment for the elves to abandon their traditions and surrender to human civilization.

The main elf god is abandoning the forest elves. If the forest elves don't repent, he will give the emerald forest to the headhunters!

The police chief complained at the end: "The Emerald Palace's ability to control news is really poor. It should learn more from the Imperial Secret Service. Now the news that the Emerald Forest is occupied by headhunters is spreading uncontrollably in the city.

, the Emerald Royal Court will block the news to no avail.

When I came back, the port area had been tightly sealed by patrols. Factories were shut down, docks were shut down, human employees were ordered to stay in factories or homes, and elves who gathered would be arrested.

By the way, when I came back, I heard that... the Emerald Royal Court was discussing how the forest elves would move out of the Emerald Forest.

Not sure whether it is true."

The forest elves migrate as a whole!

Has the matter become this serious?

Qingkong said: "Let's go find Princess Dai'er now and let her leave here first..."

The door was knocked at this time.

Xue Lai at the door opened the door after receiving Qing Kong's permission.

Archer came in. He first told the king's order conveyed by the elf patrol, and then said: "The dock has been blocked, and all ships are not allowed to leave the Emerald Port. We had to find a small airship, which should be able to carry

Her Royal Highness the Princess left the Emerald Palace.

Once you reach the open sea, you can find a ship to take the princess back to the empire."

Blockade the port and prohibit ships from leaving...

Does the Emerald Royal Court really have the idea of ​​​​moving all the forest elves out of the Emerald Forest?

"I understand." Qingkong said, "You go prepare a carriage and we will go to the Emerald Magic Academy."

"Yes, Master Xingkong."

When Qingkong took a carriage to the Emerald Magic Academy, a meeting related to the future of the forest elves was held by the Emerald Lake in the old city of the Emerald Royal Court.

On a meadow covered with green grass and flowers, many elves were sitting around a circular conference table. The Elf King Garrett XVII sat on the throne with his back to the Emerald Lake, and the other elves were all elders.

The conference table was not full, and about one-third of the seats were vacant, indicating that some elders were absent for some reason.

Garrett XVII is also known as the Three-leaf King. As a middle-aged elf, the Three-leaf King has some wrinkles on his face. The handsome Elf King is no longer his label, but his calmness brings charm. He

Wearing gorgeous robes, silver hair, and an emerald stone crown.

The atmosphere of the meeting was not good. The elders looked at the empty seats from time to time, showing sadness.

After a period of silence, the Three-leaf King said: "I have to admit that the Emerald King's Court has absorbed too many elves, leaving large forest areas blank without the supervision of elves. This is the main reason why we did not discover the headhunters in time.

…”

Before the Three-leaf King could finish speaking, an elf elder said angrily: "No! The main reason for the emergence of headhunters in the Emerald Forest is that the elves gave up on our own civilization and introduced the smoky human industry into the natural and holy Emerald Forest.

.

Alchemical pollution is very serious, and mysterious energy is produced to create strange things. The thick smoke generated by the operation of steam engines makes it difficult for the forest to breathe, and the greed brought by humans has caused many young elves to fall.

The headhunters are a punishment imposed on us by the Elven God, and only by correcting our mistakes immediately can we regain the Lord God's care."

The elf elder's speech was recognized by some elders.

The Three-leaf King said: "It was my decision to admit human industry into the Emerald Forest. I never think this decision is wrong. The emergence of headhunters should be a scientific issue, and it cannot be attributed to the main elf god without any basis.

punishment.

Now the Emerald Magic Academy is collecting information and looking for ways to eliminate the Headhunters. The Royal Court patrols are investigating the distribution of the Headhunters in the Emerald Forest, and are actively rescuing the elves and other intelligent races trapped in the forest.

I summoned the elders here to resolve the crisis, not to hold people responsible."

The Three-leaf King has a high prestige, and some discordant voices have been suppressed.

Another elder said: "The Royal Court patrols are discovering more and more headhunting territories. They are spreading very fast. Many elven settlements have lost contact with the Royal Court. The scale of the headhunters this time is larger than that of the ancient wars."

It's bigger, but we don't have the support of the dragon.

I think we should implement the relocation plan as soon as possible while there is still time. Only by sending more elves to a safe place can we conserve our strength and come back when we find a way to eliminate the headhunters."

The elder's words made King Sanye hesitate.

The headhunters are getting stronger every day, and they are getting stronger very quickly, and they are already out of control.

There were many factors that led to the rapid elimination of the headhunters who appeared during the ancient wars. At that time, the elves were in a state of war and were very alert, and could quickly mobilize elite troops when they discovered the headhunters.

And there is the support of the dragon.

Now the elves of the Emerald Forest are too comfortable. Not only did they discover the headhunters late, they also don't have an army that can go into battle immediately.

The patrols used to maintain law and order and search for illegal immigrants have exposed too many problems these days.

The meeting has been filled with a pessimistic atmosphere from the beginning until now.

An elder just suggested asking the Dragon Kingdom for help.

There are suggestions to build a high wall around the Emerald Palace to block the headhunters on the other side of the high wall.

There are suggestions to organize a death squad to go deep into the Emerald Forest to find the Headhunter Queen and kill her.

Among various measures, relocating the entire family has become a more reliable solution.

But how should tens of millions of forest elves migrate out?

Who is willing to accept it?

Seeing that the Three-leaf King was still unable to make a decision, an elf elder said: "Last night, elves attacked the docks and factories in the port area. News of the headhunters is spreading rapidly in the city. Even though the royal patrols are trying their best to control

, but it cannot stop the spread of panic.

Your Majesty, you must make a decision as soon as possible. Even if the decision is wrong, it is better than doing nothing."

The Three-Leaf King finally said: "My decision is related to the life and death of the forest elves. Please give me a little more time, maybe there will be good news.

Order the Royal Court patrols to continue to carry out the king's order, focusing on the port area to prevent any more big riots.

Send elves to count all ships in port.

Inventory the granary.

Then send elves into the Emerald Forest and bring as many of our compatriots back to the royal court as possible."

The elders said together: "I will obey your will, my king."

King Sanye finally said to the followers behind him: "Immediately send the elves to the Emerald Magic Academy. I hope the scholars carefully trained by the royal court can bring me good news!"

The attendant replied: "Yes, my king. I will go to the Emerald Magic Academy in person right away."

King Sanye nodded and asked his entourage to leave, and the lakeside meeting continued.

On the top of the mountain where the Emerald Magic Academy was built, there was only one road connected to the Emerald Royal Court. During this extraordinary period, the Emerald Royal Court sent an elite patrol to set up a defensive circle in the forest around the mountain top.

The only road up the mountain also has checkpoints.

The carriage Qingkong was riding in was stopped outside the checkpoint.

Archer, acting as a coachman, went to negotiate, but the elf patrol refused to let him go.

"I'm sorry, human coachman! I didn't mean to make things difficult, it's because the Royal Court has an order, and we must protect the safety of the teachers and students in the Emerald Magic Academy.
To be continued...
