Chapter 455: Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots
In the trading hall, Jenny continued to ask Qi Ge a series of questions about his death:
Jenny: Don't test my patience, pirate.
Jenny: You should know that although our elves have declined, we are still one of the strongest races in the world of Yasa.
Jenny: If you rob the survivors of the Sea Elf, we elves will never tolerate it!
Jenny: I suggest you confess the truth to me as soon as possible and return the Sea Elf. As long as you have never harmed any elves, you will be our elf's eternal friend.
Just chat, why are you using threats and inducements?
Qi Ge was keenly aware that the Silver Spirit was definitely not that simple.
Although Jenny is a wood elf, she has a very good relationship with the gold elf royal family.
After the fall of the Elf Empire, it was Jenny who escorted the young Malodiya to the Golden Dragon King.
Malodiya is the little princess of the Elf Empire and the last royal bloodline of the Golden Elves in the Elf Empire.
If Malodia is compared to Liu Chan, then Jenny is Zhuge Liang!
The late emperor had not yet completed his career when he collapsed...
It’s broken, the watch is up!
Jenny attaches so much importance to the Silver Spirit and the Sea Elf, she may know something.
Qi Ge tried cautiously.
——
(Seven Doves): Your Majesty Jenny, the wind of happiness will always blow over the subcontinent.
I was originally a druid monk.
In order to avoid the conflicts between the gold elves and the silver elves, I left the elven subcontinent and have been wandering ever since.
I don't know how much time passed before I heard that the Elf Empire was in crisis.
Just when I decided to return to the Elf Empire and fight to the death for it, the empire fell.
I haven't even found my way home yet.
After the empire fell, I continued to wander in the world of Yasa and worked hard to improve myself.
I found this Sea Elf by accident at the border of the Chaos Sea.
When I found the Sea Elf, it was stranded on the beach and its hull was in tatters.
I could only make out its name from the magical inscriptions on its hull.
After I repaired the Sea Elf, it has been with me all the time. It should be more than two hundred years now.
——
This ambiguous statement left room for explanation at every turn, which was perfect.
Jenny replied almost instantly.
——
Jenny: Druids? Druids are only female. Are you a girl?
Anonymous (Qi Ge): Yes, I am a girl.
Jenny: Sister, you have suffered a lot over the years.
Jenny: You are so reluctant to send a message that costs 1,000 gold coins. I can imagine what kind of life you are living, sister.
Qi Ge: ???
Who can't afford to post? Who do you look down on? !
I'm just trying to save a little.
You can obviously send all the messages together, why send them one sentence at a time?
Saving is glorious and wasting is shameful, do you understand?
——
Jenny: My dear sister, our Elven Empire has failed to fulfill our promise to protect you.
You, a weak druid, have fallen into the status of a pirate, and can only wander around the sea.
We are sorry for you.
——
Wow, it's so easy to be fooled?
Is Jenny so trusting?
Is it because my lies were too plausible?
Just when Qi Ge was feeling strange, the lucky angel Milola suddenly appeared in front of Qi Ge and shouted:
"Qi Ge!! I finally found you!"
The seven pigeons were startled:
"This is the Astronomy Trading Hall. How did you get in here, Milora?"
At this moment, Qi Ge had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Shit, is the divine space of astronomy really safe?
If Milola can come in, can Jenny come in too?
Is she going to come over through the Internet and hit me?
Milora flapped her wings, made faces at the seven pigeons, and then said:
"You are stupid!
This is a network of divine power that is built outside the kingdom of God, and the divine power in our dream world is also a part of this network of divine power.
I am the messenger of the goddess of fate. I can directly feel the veins of the dream world. How could I not be able to enter?"
"That's right!" Qi Ge suddenly realized. "You are the messenger of the great, merciful goddess of fate. It makes sense for you to have a backdoor."
Miraura flew to the Seven Pigeons' shoulders, shaking her little feet and asking:
"Qi Ge! Did you offend someone?
There is a very powerful legend who has predicted information about you thirteen times in a row.
Luckily I stopped you, otherwise people would have predicted what color underwear you were wearing!"
"Ha. So funny. Impossible.
I don’t wear it at all, it’s more convenient.”
After responding subconsciously, Qi Ge suddenly realized what Milola was talking about.
"Hmm? Wait, someone predicted my message?"
"Yes!" Milola nodded and explained in detail:
"Not long ago, someone predicted your message through the River of Destiny.
Something happened in the Chaos Battlefield that time , and the goddess didn't have time to stop it for you, so your information was leaked a little.
In order to prevent this from happening again, the goddess gave me the authority to manage your information.
Many people will predict your future during this period.
However, they all prophesied through the name "Star Wind".
Don't worry, I have stopped them all. They can't predict anything.
And just now, someone made thirteen consecutive predictions to you through the "Sea Elf".
Such failed predictions will result in backlash.
Failing thirteen times in a row, only mortal enemies would fight like this, right?
Qi Ge, have you offended any prophet recently?"
Qi Ge's eyes became sharp.
There is only one truth!
Qi Ge glanced at the message sent by Jenny.
——
Jenny: Our Elven Empire has failed in our promise to protect you.
You, a weak druid, have fallen into the status of a pirate, and can only wander around the sea.
We are sorry for you.
Jenny: My dear sister, are you still there?
Jenny: Dear sister, please don't ignore me. I mean no harm to you.
——
Hehe~
Qi Ge sneered in his heart.
It turned out that Jenny had no intention of talking to him at all.
She used threats and inducements, played tricks to delay time, and at the same time she approached Malodia and directly predicted me thirteen times.
So cruel!
You call me good sister, but you have a knife in your hand and you start stabbing people if you don't agree with them, right?
——
(Qi Ge): Dear sister, what are you doing?
Is Sister Malodiya okay?
Thirteen backlashes, the two sisters must have worked so hard.
It’s all the younger sister’s fault. I forgot to tell the older sister.
Sister, I am not affected by the prophecy.
Jenny: Good sister, you already know it.
You can actually block the prophecy, sister, you are so amazing.
Jenny: Let me tell you a secret, my dear sister. The druid monk clan has been completely wiped out, so you can't be a druid monk.
Jenny: Whatever. I'm not really interested in who you are. All that matters is that the Sea Spirit comes back.
Jenny: My dear sister, don't you want the experience of [Plague Tent] and [First Aid]? Let's go to the meeting room to discuss the price.
——
After reading Jenny's message, Qi Ge asked curiously: "Conference room? There is a conference room in the Divine Power Network?"
Milora shook her feet and said:
"Of course I have.
Once you have legendary [Astronomy], you can open a [Conference Room] and bring in people who also have Astronomy from thousands of miles away to hold meetings."
Qi Ge asked worriedly, "If I enter the meeting room, will the other party know my true identity?"
“No. As long as you don’t disclose it, no one can be sure who you are.
The [conference room] was filled with a dark shadow without being revealed.
Whether it is voice or body shape, you can freely adjust it according to your wishes."
"Then I feel relieved."
Qi Ge clicked on the message and replied.
——
(Seven Pigeons): Okay, let’s talk about it.
——
[System prompt: Jenny requests to take you to the conference room, do you accept? ]
"accept!"
Just as Qi Ge accepted it, a dazzling white beam of light fell from the sky and shone on Qi Ge.
"Wait, I'll go with you."
Milora hugged the seven pigeons' necks, and together with the seven pigeons, they turned into light and rose up along the white beam of light.
Qi Ge’s eyes blurred, and when he appeared again, he had arrived in a strange room.
Thick brown soil covered the floor of the room, and huge green rocks lay comfortably on the ground as a conference table.
Next to the huge green rock, there is a circle of red hard-earth chairs neatly arranged.
[System prompt: Meeting preparation stage, the meeting will begin after all meeting members are ready]
【System prompt: Please set your race, voice and image. 】
Huh? Is this actually possible?
"Elf race, little girl body, clip-like voice."
【System prompt: Setting completed.】
A white light flashed, and Qi Ge was surprised to find that she had actually turned into a cute little girl with twin ponytails, just as she had set out to do.
"Fuck, it really works!"
As soon as the words came out, the delicate voice made Qi Ge shiver with disgust.
"Pervert!" Milora flew in front of Qige with a look of disdain.
"I didn't expect you to have such a fetish!"
"Go away, what do you know? This is a necessary sacrifice to hide my identity.
Look at my delicate and weak appearance. Who can guess that underneath this appearance is a tough guy with a strong heart and a chivalrous spirit?"
Milola's eyes were very cold:
"Heh. Don't flatter yourself. You are nothing more than a pervert with a heart of steel and a heart of chivalrous.
You must be the kind of pervert who would peek under someone's skirt while they are sleeping!"
Qi Ge: ???
"Slander! You are slandering my character! How could I, such a gentleman, do such a thing!"
"Hmph!╭(╯^╰)╮"
Milora turned her head away proudly.
“Wait a minute, Milora, why are you still the same?
Won't the other party see you like this?"
"Of course not. I am privileged here.
As long as I don't want them to see me, they can't see me.
Even if I talk to you, you don’t have to be afraid, because no one can hear it except you.”
"Then I feel relieved."
[System prompt: The preparation phase is about to end, please prepare as soon as possible. ]
"Here it comes!" Qi Ge took a deep breath and said:
"We are ready."
【System prompt: All members are ready, the meeting begins. 】
Two figures suddenly appeared in the meeting room which originally only had Qi Ge.
Jenny and Maraudea .
They did not hide their true colors and walked directly into the [Conference Room] without any disguise.
Jenny's hair was emerald green, just like the tender leaves that were just stretching themselves lazily on the branches in early spring.
She wore a green hood with a purple translucent veil hanging from above the hood, slightly covering her upturned slender eyebrows.
Malodiya has standard long blond hair.
Her hair had the signature curls of a royal woman of the gold elves.
This beautiful golden wavy long hair is spread out and falls on her chest, which is eye-catching.
On Malodia's forehead, there was a beautiful golden headdress.
The semicircular golden horseshoe on the headdress was right in the center of her forehead.
"Eh! Malaudia!"
When Miraura saw Malodiya, she cried out in surprise.
"Do you know him?"
Qi Ge asked in a low voice.
"Yes. She is the candidate for the goddess's apostle.
No, it should be said that she had already won before you came to the Yasa world.
She was just one step away from becoming the goddess's apostle of destiny."
Seven Pigeons: ...
So, another victim?
Malodiya, your Apostle of Destiny is awesome!
I am seven years old, an old minotaur, please welcome the next victim of ntr.
At this moment, Qi Ge straightened his back.
Malodiya, you have become the victim. Are you worthy of this head of yellow hair?
"Milo, you know her, but does she know you?"
"No, I've never met her."
Milola bit her finger, and suddenly she understood. She looked at Qi Ge and asked:
"It was Malodiya who predicted you just now!"
"It should be."
“No wonder, I was wondering, how could anyone withstand the backlash of 13 failures.
It wouldn't be surprising if it was Malodiya.
She has been blessed by the goddess, and has a professional skill that allows her to be exempt from the cost and backlash of prophecy for a period of time."
Miraura asked in confusion:
“Qi Ge, why did you have a conflict with Malodiya?
If you need it, I can ask the goddess to mediate for you."
Qi Ge shook his head and said:
"Not for now. It doesn't necessarily mean a conflict. Let's wait and see what Jenny and Malaudia are going to do."
Although Qi Ge talked a lot with Miraola, Qi Ge stood there without moving in front of Jenny and Malodiya.
Jenny carefully looked up and down at Qige for a long time before she spoke:
"You actually disguised yourself as a young elf, hoping to win the favor of Malodiya and me?
Crafty guy. "
Qi Ge responded with a smile:
"It will look more friendly to you this way, won't it?"
Jenny pulled out a scarlet chair and sat opposite Qi Ge, and Malodia also sat next to Jenny.
Jenny said coldly:
"What do you want in exchange for the return of the Sea Spirit? Name your price."
Qi Ge also pulled out a chair and sat down, saying:
“I think restitution is the wrong word.
The Sea Elf that once belonged to your Golden Fleet has sunk in the Sea of Chaos. This Sea Elf is mine.
If you don’t even agree to this premise, then there is no need to discuss it.”
Jenny's eyes turned cold:
“The way you talk reminds me of someone, someone I really hate.
Sandro, it's you, isn't it?"
Oh, Sandro once cheated on Jenny.
He also deceived Gru, York, and Kenro Hag.
Later, Sandro was beaten badly by the four of them.
Among them, Gru and Kenro Hag have now become demigods, and York will soon be there too.
And although Jenny is a legend, she has lived long enough and her fighting ability is terrifying.
Well, there is a reason why Sandro has not set foot out of Diya for all these years.
The blame for Sandro's crime is too big for Qi Ge to bear.
He quickly explained:
“Your Majesty Jenny, I can swear to the great Mother Yasha that I am not Sandro.
I am different from those scammers who like to get something for nothing.
I have been honest since I was young and I say whatever I want to say.
My father often said that my biggest problem was that I couldn't lie.
Sandro is different, he is a master liar, I despise people like him the most!
Pooh!"
After the seven pigeons shared a common hatred for the enemy, they quickly changed the subject and tried to take the initiative.
"Your Majesty Jenny, it's actually not impossible for you to have the Sea Elf.
But can you tell me why you want the Sea Spirit?"
Jenny snorted coldly and said:
"Are you very curious?
It's none of your business, so don't ask about it.
Just state the conditions directly. How can you give me the Sea Elf?"
Yo, Jenny is anxious.
The seven pigeons were even less anxious.
"My first condition is that you tell me why you want the Sea Spirit.
If you don’t even want to tell me that, then forget it.”
Jenny was a little angry:
"The Sea Elf is a warship of our Elf Empire. Do we need any other reason to recycle our former warship?"
Qi Ge blinked and said:
"Your Highness Jenny, your attitude towards the Sea Elf is not as simple as recycling a warship."
"Believe it or not."
"I don't believe it. I won't talk about it anymore. Your Majesty Jenny, we'll see you again if we're lucky."
"Wait a mininute."
Just as Qi Ge was about to get up and leave, Malodiya suddenly spoke.
"Please wait a moment. I can tell you the reason."
"Princess."
Jenny anxiously pulled Malodia's hand.
Malodia shook his head and said:
“Sister Jenny, it’s been such a long time ago.
It’s not really a big secret.”
"Oh." Jenny's expression darkened visibly.
She put down Malodia's hand and said somewhat listlessly:
"Princess, if even you think so, then what can I say?"
Malodia pursed her lips and said gently:
“The long river of fate tells me that our way out is not in this era.
The elves will eventually rise again, but not now.
We shouldn’t force it.”
Malodiya took a deep breath and said to Qige:
"Your Majesty, you are actually wrong about one thing.
The Sea Elf is not a battleship of the Golden Fleet, but a battleship of the Mithril Fleet.
Our Elf Empire prospered because of the construction of the [Guardian Statue of the Soul], and declined because of the destruction of the [Guardian Statue of the Soul].
After the [Guardian Statue of the Soul] was shattered, its fragments were scattered all over the world of Yasa.
Among them, three fragments were swallowed by the Sea of Chaos.
In order to retrieve the [Guardian Statue of the Soul], the Elf Empire, which was already at the end of its strength, used its last bit of strength and left many means behind.
The Mithril Fleet is one of them.
By that time, we, the Golden Elves, no longer had the ability to build large-scale fleets.
Fortunately, in the [Golden and Silver Age], we helped the Silver Elves build many shipyards.
In order to form the Mithril Fleet, the Silver Elves took the heart of a dead Mithril tree and built the Silver Spirit, the flagship of the Mithril Fleet.
The Silver Spirit is not just a warship, it is also a complete living base.
Even without carrying any supplies, the Silver Spirit can supply the daily consumption of the entire Mithril Fleet.
From food, to weapons, and even crew replenishment and ship repairs, the Silver Spirit can do it all.
You might have guessed it.
The reason why the Mithril Fleet needs a flagship like the Silver Spirit is to be able to survive in the Sea of Chaos for a long time without any support or supplies.
The Mithril Fleet is tasked with retrieving the three fragments of the [Mind Guardian Statue] from the Sea of Chaos."
Malodiya placed his arm over his heart, his voice firm and sad.
“The Sea of Chaos is mysterious and unpredictable, full of dangers.
Those three fragments are the most difficult to recover of all the fragments.
The Mithril Fleet undertakes the most difficult tasks and carries the expectations of the entire Elf Empire.
Every crew member of the Mithril Fleet knew very well that they were risking their lives on this journey.
But they still bid farewell to their tribes and families and resolutely embarked on the journey.
However, on the third day after the Mithril Fleet entered the Sea of Chaos, they completely lost contact with us.
Until the fall of the Elf Empire, until the rise of the Undead, until Chaos invaded again, and until now.
There has been no news from them.”
Malodia looked at Qi Ge tenderly with tears in her eyes and said:
“Today, we no longer have any expectations.
Your Majesty the Mysterious Man, you told us the news about the Sea Elf.
Really, thank you very much! ”
hiss.
It turns out that the Silver Spirit is so important.
Qi Ge said thoughtfully:
“I’m sorry to disappoint you. I didn’t find any traces of the [Mind Guardian Statue] fragments on the Sea Elf.
I don't have to lie to you.
These mythical architectural fragments are all unique.
There is no point holding the pieces in my hands if I can’t put them together.”
Malodia shook her head and said gently:
"Yes. Your Majesty the Mysterious Man.
The fall of the Elf Empire has become a reality.
We had never expected to find the fragments of the [Guardian Statue of the Soul].
I am not afraid to tell the truth.
In fact, the [Guardian Statue of the Soul] was broken into thirteen pieces in total.
And we have only collected 4 fragments so far.
Even if those three pieces were really brought back by the Sea Elf, there would still be 6 fragments missing.
Just as you said, if there is even one missing piece of the myth fragment, the rest will be waste."
Qi Ge was a little surprised:
"Since you are not after the fragments of the [Mind Guardian Statue], why are you so obsessed with the Sea Elf?"
"The fact that you can ask this question proves that you are not an elf."
Jenny's voice was somewhat sad:
“We elves have a tradition that every elf will leave his name before he dies.
If any tribesman finds them, they will carve these names in the tribe's ancestral hut.
Before the Mithril Fleet's warships set off, each elf engraved his or her name on the warships.
They were ready to die from the beginning.”
"We actually just want to take back the names of those elves and engrave them in our ancestral temple."
Malodia and Jenny said at the same time:
"Let them return to their roots."
Malodia's voice was gentle and firm, while Jenny's was cold and clear.
When the two voices came together, an indescribable power burst out, making Qi Ge's back numb.
