After hastily wiping the blood stains with the cloth carried by the elf soldiers, the two officially entered the tree cave where Ambassador Shi Jieming lived. Just entering the tree cave, before observing the layout of the tree cave, Arthur and Jace saw a man and
Livlan, a tall and thin female long-eared elf with purple skin and the same skin color, held up a nut shell and huddled nervously in the corner of the tree hole, pretending to be calm as she watched the two of them walk into the tree hole.
Without hesitation, Jace pulled out a medium-length scalpel from the sleeve of his windbreaker and approached the female elf step by step. Suddenly, the female elf shouted in human language: "Stop, you are the human team wanted by the escort. I
I can tell you some information! I know the cause of Ambassador Shi Jieming's death!" "Why should I believe you?" Jace was less than five steps away from the elf, holding the scalpel behind his back, and was about to kill the last one near the tree hole of the embassy.
The elves are erased.
Arthur was filled with guilt and sympathy. He knew that Jace would definitely kill the remaining elf. Seeing a living being who had given up resistance disappear in front of his eyes, Arthur felt uncomfortable. Now,
Hearing what the elf said, Arthur was even more determined to let her live. He jogged a few steps and stood in front of Jace: "Don't worry, listen to what she said, maybe we will find something.
There is no clue or it needs to be explained in Elvish language.”
When Jace heard this, he stopped, held the scalpel tightly, turned his eyes to Arthur in front of him, and said word by word: "If she is allowed to survive, we will be in a lot of trouble." "But she has no weapons and no
I really can't bear to kill her just to do anything to resist us." Jace sighed, turned to sit on the Shijieming wooden bed in the tree hole, and waited for the female elf to mention the next thing.
The female elf who had been hearing the sound of killing outside the tree hole breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the murderous Jace sitting on the wooden bed. She was originally brought by Legolas from the nearest Long-eared tribe to investigate the Shijieming incident.
The elf with special abilities, after receiving special protection, stayed alone in the tree hole to search for clues. Just thirty seconds before Arthur and Jace took action, she finally used her special ability to find a strange place in the tree hole.
.
Arthur focused on keeping an eye on Jace. When he blocked Jace, the thunder element in his body even formed an arc warning again. He almost held his left hand and blasted the last seven steps on Jace. He turned around and looked at someone taller than him.
Although she has learned a lot but is still wary of her own purple-skinned elf, she is not like the Butterfly Wing Clan guard. She has uniform gray-white wooden armor covering her robes, and even wears a pair of small glasses hanging on the bridge of her high purple nose. Arthur
Signaling the elf to put down the nut shell in his hand: "I can't explain anything to you now. If you don't think we are the murderers who killed Ambassador Shi Jieming, I hope you can tell us everything you find. And it's best.
Don't hide anything..." Arthur gestured slightly in Jace's direction.
The purple-skinned elf grabbed his hair, carefully moved behind a wooden table, turned around and rummaged around. Only then did Arthur have time to look at the tree hole where Shi Jieming lived, the human embassy, which Arthur had borrowed before.
The interior of the Long-ear Elf tree cave is simple, with only simple daily utensils. At that time, Arthur thought that all tree caves in the Elf Forest were like this. The tree cave where Shi Jieming lives is just like the size of the tree cave where ordinary elves live.
The tree hole is different, it is twice as big as the branch tree hole where I lived before.
The first and most eye-catching thing is the telegraph machine that Arthur once saw in Ford Town. It is placed on the wooden table where the purple-skinned elf is now searching. It is observed that there are traces of recent use. The second is the three oil paintings.
, were hung at the entrance, above the wooden bed and above the wooden bathtub placed at the deepest part. They were painted with pictures of different scenery. This kind of oil painting, which is common in the aristocratic residence in the northern district of Brighton City, was placed in the Elf Forest.
It is a symbol of wealth.
Then there is the bathtub just mentioned. Arthur had never thought about how elves clean themselves before, but now he was curious after seeing Shi Jieming's bathtub. Looking around the wooden bed where Jace was sitting, Arthur saw a lot of
Some of the nut foods had been opened and scattered on the floor, and some were neatly placed on the wooden table. Judging from the eaten nut shells, Shi Jieming died in the last two days. It might even be last night. In addition,
Outside, there were all kinds of elven robes thrown on the ground. The tree cave looked chaotic, but they must have been searched by the elven search team, because Arthur noticed that there was a lot of quilt stained on the wall of the tree cave.
The blood stains were wiped off, but the clothes on the ground were clean. If Shi Jieming had thrown them on the ground before his death, these clothes would also be stained with blood.
Arthur asked the purple-skinned elf who was still looking for something: "Have search personnel come before and found something?"
The purple-skinned elf buried his head in another neat pile of nut shells under the wooden table. Hearing Arthur's question, he straightened up and scratched his silver-white hair, "I don't know this. I came here around six o'clock.
But generally speaking, they will take many blood-stained items back to the sanctuary for study."
"Sanctuary?"
"Yes, the Sanctuary is the core of the Elf Forest. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you its function."
"It doesn't matter, what are you looking for now?"
The purple-skinned elf first rubbed his tall nose and said, "Before that, I want to ask, kid, do you know the elves' perception ability?"
Arthur nodded, he heard that perception ability was what Buchlington said before they set off.
"Well, let me explain the details about the perception ability that you don't know. There are three types of elven races, the Butterfly Tribe, the Long-eared Tribe and the Sharp Claw Tribe. The ability that determines their respective status is the elves' perceptual ability. We can
The thing we perceive is the sound in the wind. This is very similar to the wizard you are familiar with, but the difference is that we and the sound in the wind do not have the coexistence relationship between the wizard and the elements in the body. We can control the sound in the wind.
Things you want to do. For example..."
The purple-skinned elf closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, she leaned over and took out a piece of blood-stained and crumpled letter paper from the nut shell she had been searching for. "This is what the wind told me."
Even the corners of Jace's mouth twitched slightly. There was a lot of communication between the elves and humans, and both sides had a rough understanding of each other's racial abilities, such as the information Jace knew about the fighting elves. But the purple-skinned elves were more
A lot of details have been added to their basic cognition. Human beings only know that elves are good at perception, but they don't know that their racial status is determined by their perception ability, let alone that perception ability is similar to the ability of wizards to communicate with nature.
Focusing on the letter in the hand of the purple-skinned elf, Jace walked straight over and snatched the letter from the elf's hand, squatting on the ground and reading with Arthur who was leaning over.
What can be confirmed is that the content of this letter should be a text message that Shi Jieming received from the telegraph machine and copied it. Except for a small sentence written in human language, the rest is disguised in chaotic Elvish language. The content is as follows:
The guards around Savali have been bribed, and we will meet at 26 Nevada Street on August 12th.
Savali...Arthur and Jace looked at each other, and then Jace put the letter into the inner pocket of his windbreaker. The purple-skinned elf originally stood on tiptoe to secretly read the contents of the letter, but when he saw Jace stood up, he quickly raised his hand.
Put up your hands and take a few steps back.
"Sorry, madam, do you think you have done anything wrong?"
"What's wrong? I...I secretly ate Uncle Nevar's nuts. What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just want to choose a good scalpel." Jace shook out two scalpels from the cuff of his left hand, held them between his fingers and showed them to the purple-skinned elf: "These are desire and gluttony, I plan to use them to
You are sent to the place of punishment, where the gods will wash away your sins. Then... Arthur, if you want to stop me, I will repay you for the humiliation I suffered in the underground fighting gym."
Arthur was ready to hold the wrist of his left hand with his right hand, and aimed his left hand at Jace's back in a claw-like manner, which was exactly the starting position for the seventh sound of the septet scale.
"If I told you to let her go, you wouldn't be willing to let her go, right?" Arthur stared at Jace's shoulders with all his attention, from there he could see if Jace had made any other movements.
"It depends on what you say. If you talk carefully, I might be able to think about it." Jess took out the third or fourth scalpel from his sleeve.
