Chapter 465: Chapter 469, deduction

Lunch time was over.

“Are… are we locked up here?”

Al hugged his legs and sat on the bed, trembling.

This was a well-decorated double bedroom, and the bed was so soft that it didn’t seem like a place for a prisoner to sleep.

But the emotions that the Dark Elf revealed in an instant just now, no matter how pure this high elf’s personality was, he could clearly feel that he was being ‘threatened’.

“As expected, the stories that Grandma told are all true… we’ll definitely be sold later.”Al covered his long ears as if he was unwilling to accept the fact that he had fallen into the ‘den of thieves’. “I haven’t even completed my coming of age ceremony yet.”

“Not yet.”

Twiggy was not as flustered as al. she went to the window of the bedroom and easily pushed it open.

But the scenery outside the window was a bustling street. To Twig’s ears, the sounds of human activity outside were no different from bad news.

The window wasn’t locked, and the door was open. The Dark Elves clearly had no intention of keeping them under house arrest.

What was the Dark Elf trying to do? Or rather… what were these humans trying to do?

Twig hid in the shadows of the window and carefully observed the humans.

Although she tried to stay calm in front of Al, it was undeniable that branches and leaves could not think of a solution to the current situation.

“Al, do you still remember what Grandma Enya said?”

Although branches and leaves had read many books related to humans, only the older elves had real experience with humans.

“That is, humans will strip you naked and throw you into an iron cage.”Al carefully recalled and said, “Then they will force you to do all kinds of outrageous things.”

Without saying a word, she walked to the bookshelf in the bedroom. There were all kinds of books on it. She hoped to find records related to this city from these books.

However, her gaze was quickly attracted by a primary crystal. Inside the primary crystal was a leaf, a leaf from the world tree.

“A part of the Holy Tree.”

The leaf picked up the crystal and studied it.

“The branches of the holy tree were cut off by the humans to make props?”

Al stared at the crystal in the leaf’s hand, as if he was witnessing some kind of atrocity.

The moment he saw the ‘corpse’of the world tree, Al seemed to have made up his mind.

“Leave the leaf to me. Go find the ice dragon and ask him to save the Elder.”

Silver runes appeared on Al’s hands. Not only beside her, but also on Al’s cheeks and arms.

This was proof that Al was protected by the sacred tree. Perhaps it was also the reason why the girl dared to be so reckless.

Although AL’s combat experience was basically zero, she could inscribe runes on all wooden objects and summon powerful ‘golems’.

This summoning spell required a long period of chanting.

And half of the building was made of wood products.

“Be careful.”Leaf knew that this was the only solution.

Leaf used Mana to attach to the original crystal, preparing to crush the original crystal and then take out the leaf of the world tree.

But this time, the Mana infusion not only did not crush the original crystal, but also activated the original crystal.

Light shone from the palm of the branch and leaf, shining on the bookshelf in front of her.

For a moment, the branch and leaf thought that she had activated some offensive magic, but when the light on the bookshelf gradually stabilized.

Only then did she see clearly that a painting appeared on the bookshelf… a painting that could move.

Al, who was chanting an incantation, was also attracted by the projection on the bookshelf.

“Frost… Elf?”

The branches and leaves recognized that the figure in the painting was a female frost elf.

This Frost Elf was sitting in a room facing them, and there was a white cat lying on the long table in front of the frost elf.

“That’s the consciousness of the Holy Tree.”Al instantly recognized the white cat, which was the same kind of existence as the white bird materialized from the World Tree of their race.

The atmosphere around the frost elf was very… Dim. The surrounding lights were deliberately illuminated by an ancient lighting tool, a candle.

There was even a pile of ancient books and a decaying human skull on the table.

The entire room was filled with a mysterious and strange atmosphere. When the white cat that was lying on the table disappeared, the entire room had a creepy feeling!

Just as Al had said, after the humans captured their own kind, did they do something excessive to their own kind?

“Al, did the humans record these images?”

Twiggy looked worriedly at the frost elf sitting behind the long table.

The High Elves also had some crystals that could play images, but those were the creatures of their race, recording some of the great things their ancestors had done.

Twigs and leaves didn’t expect such a great recording ceremony to be not only mastered by humans, but also used to record these things.

“Twigs and leaves, can you turn off that protocrystal?”Looking at the strange atmosphere on the screen, Al stopped chanting the incantation.

The strange atmosphere around the frost elves made Al even more sure that the stories told by the elders were true.

She could almost imagine what terrible scenes would happen next.

But leaf did not listen to Al’s advice. She hoped to get more information from this image. Perhaps this frost elf would ask someone for help?

“Ugh…”

Facing Leaf’s silence, Al let out a whine. He could only close his eyes and concentrate on chanting the magic of the golem summoning spell, so that he would not fall into the illusion of being killed.

What would happen? Would he be whipped, or would he be thrown into the iron cage naked as Al Said? Or something even worse.

Leaf guessed that the poor frost elf had met her, but a warm smile appeared on her face, and then she waved her hand.

There were no humans, and there were no strange tortures. The Frost Elf seemed to be warmly greeting everyone.

“Good evening, everyone. I Am Tyreen. It is now one in the morning,”the Frost Elf said as she looked at the yellowed paper in her hand.

“I will not share any stories related to the undead with you today. Recently, I received a particularly interesting story. This story should have been more suitable for Mr. Pruke to tell, but because I like it too much, I wanted to tell the first story first. The name of the story is “The study of the Scarlet Letter.”This is a story that uses knowledge and reasoning to solve various… cases.”

Wait… What Happened?

Leaf patiently waited for a while and realized that no human had come out to do anything excessive to this frost elf.

She just sat there with a pile of papers and narrated the story on it.

“Has… has it started?”Al opened his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the projection.

“Al, the situation of this frost elf seems to be different from the story that grandmother Enya told,”leaf said.

While Al was chanting, he looked at the frost elf in the projection again.

Although the layout of the rooms around her was very strange, there were no chains or scars on the Frost Elf’s body.

Leaf patiently listened to the story of the Frost Elf for a while and found that the story was about a person named Watson after he returned from the battlefield, she was going to find a strange man named Holmes to share the apartment with.

There were too many nouns that leaf could not understand. The knowledge of magic and alchemy mixed together made leaf feel a headache.

“Al…”

Leaf lost her patience and was ready to stay by Al’s side. After she summoned the golem, she would immediately escape with Al..

But just as she was about to stop pouring magic power into the primary crystal, the next line in the screen made Twiggy pause for a moment.

’I can see that you’ve been to the black sand country before.’

It was supposed to be a dialogue from a wise man. It was a little awkward for an elven woman to say it, but it did not stop Twiggy from being curious.

Twigs and leaves listened to the story the most carefully. It described how Watson had participated in the war against the black sand country.

From the description of the country’s name, it should be a country built on the desert by humans.

‘How did you know?’Watson’s line asked the same question as twigs and leaves.

To find out the answer, twigs and leaves continued to infuse magic into the primary crystal. After a series of narration that made twigs and leaves feel a little headache, twigs and leaves’doubts were finally answered.

‘your hairstyle and standing posture indicate that you are a soldier. Although this is Nolan, your words clearly carry the unique accent of the Kronsky language family of the country of steel. Your Face and hands have been tanned, but your wrists have not been tanned…’

With the help of the Frost Elf’s narration, Holmes in the story gave a series of so-called inferences. A large part of the content was only half understood by twig, such as the relationship between countries and their names, but she had an inexplicable feeling of being ‘very powerful’.

The things that the branches and leaves came into contact with the most in their own cities were probably books. She had also come into contact with many stories and travel notes from the Earth’s boundary. This was also one of the only ways for her to understand humans.

But most of the stories in each book were based on adventurers’adventures, as well as the love and hate entanglements between nobles. These kinds of stories were somewhat boring to the branches and leaves.

In the story narrated by the Frost Elf, Sherlock Holmes’reasoning, detective, basic deductive method, and other concepts seemed to open a whole new door for the branches and leaves.

Although the contents of the story were completely incomprehensible to the branches and leaves, the novelty brought by the reasoning was enough to drive the branches and leaves to continue listening.

“Branches and leaves, what is that Frost Elf talking about?”

Once again, Al stopped chanting because she could not hold it in anymore. Al could understand every word that the frost elf lady said, but the meaning of the chain was completely incomprehensible to him.

“Sherlock Holmes is the full name of this book.”

A voice answered al on behalf of leaf.

The moment leaf heard this voice, she took out the bow in her hand and aimed it at the figure leaning against the door.

Dark Elf… she quietly appeared in front of twigs, leaves, and al. .

“This is my favorite story. It’s more interesting than stories like ‘Aladdin and the Magic Lamp’and ‘Rapunzel’, so I recorded her. Unfortunately, not many people know how to appreciate it. I don’t know how long the next update will take.”

The Dark Elf ignored the arrow that was aimed at her and said as usual.

“The next part…”the branch was slightly stunned for a moment.

In order to use the bow and arrow, she put the original crystal back on the bookshelf, but the original crystal was still working. The Frost Elf’s story ended halfway through the case.

“This is the recording from three days ago. Tyreen is busy with a concert recently, and my employer is not willing to write the next part of the story.”

After the Dark Elves finished complaining, they looked at Al, who was sitting on the bed, and the silver-white magic runes that gradually appeared on the wooden floor.

“Although I don’t know what system of Magic Runes you use, is this what you high elves do to repay your benefactor?”

“We just want to leave this place,”leaf said.

“To find the ice dragon that sneaked into Nolan?”

The Dark Elf suddenly revealed the true purpose of the two High Elves.

At this moment, Leaf thought of the meeting between Watson and Holmes inexplicably.

“This… is the so-called… reasoning?”Leaf asked subconsciously.

“Reasoning? Wrong Guess, I only have information related to you.”

Although the Dark Elf was now a reporter, her predecessor was Nolan’s biggest intelligence dealer.

The current intelligence network was several times larger than before. Any news that happened in any corner of Nolan could be immediately grasped by the dark elves.

However, the information related to these High Elves was provided to her by Joshua.

Joshua sent a message saying that the ice dragon had brought three High Elves to Nolan.

“I will take you to find the Ice Dragon.”

The Dark Elf appeared behind al in an instant and put his hands on Al’s shoulders. If the branches and leaves shot out the arrows in his hands, Al would be the first target.

“But the prerequisite is that you stop chanting, High Elf.”

The spell that the high elf chanted was very complicated. If it was completed, it would probably destroy the news organization that the Dark Elf had worked so hard to build.

Under the Dark Elf’s persuasion, Al could only obediently stop chanting. The branch was once again forced to take back the arrow.

The two of them were no match for the Dark Elf.

“Why are you… helping us?”This was what the branch did not understand the most.

“It’s not that I want to help you, but it’s my employer.”

The Dark Elf caressed Al’s delicate cheeks. At first, she had no intention of saving the two High Elves, but the Dark Elf knew that Joshua needed them.
