Qi Ge stood on the ram of the Sky Whale and said loudly:
“It was not my intention to destroy the ship, I apologize and make amends.
It’s just a small thing. It won’t be a problem to rebuild five Golden Lights.
As compensation, I hope it will not hurt everyone's harmony.
We sea hunters and your navy all rely on the sea for our livelihood. No matter how capable we are, we can only use them at sea.
Everyone is living a hard life already, and hurting each other is a real waste of energy.
Captain, what do you think?"
I think?
I think you are talking nonsense!
Five Golden Lights? If they were more frugal, they could have built twenty.
How do you have so many magic trees? How can you have so many magic trees?
You are so rich now, and you still have the nerve to tell me that everyone is living a hard life?
Do you have any misunderstandings about hard times?
The Golden Elf Captain looked at Qi Ge's face, feeling jealous, sad, and a little grateful, with mixed emotions.
He greeted the seven pigeons with the etiquette of the elves, and then replied:
"I'm sorry, I originally thought that all of Lionheart's subordinates would be like Lionheart, shameless, unruly, fickle, and despicable bastards.
I didn’t expect there is a hero as reasonable as you.
Well, for your sake, the hatred of destroying the ship will be wiped out. "
"Hahaha, that's a good summary. That's who I am. I know how to talk, so just say more."
After hearing what the golden elf said, Lionheart was not angry, but applauded.
The golden elf captain glared at him and his face fell:
“However, we cannot let you ignore our warnings and force your way through our defenses.
Sooner or later, I will take the Golden Light and repay today’s humiliation…”
Bang!
Qi Ge threw another pile of magic wood.
The golden elf captain held back his words.
“Return it, return it. It doesn’t matter whether you return it or not.
It's a little shameful, because we are not as skilled as others, so let's not talk about it."
This is the magic wood.
All the glory of the Elf Empire is built on magic wood, and their technology tree has long been irreversible.
When the elves lost the magic wood, it was like the 3D zone lost Tifa, they suddenly lost their soul.
For today's elves, enough magic wood would allow them to give up a lot.
Including their pride in revenge and their unwillingness to give up their sense of honor.
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
In fact, Qi Ge still prefers the elves' unruly appearance, which seems to have more backbone.
It's a pity that the loss of the magic wood broke the elves' backbone.
Qi Ge sighed in his heart and said:
“In that case, we’ll take our leave first.
Please be sure to tell the Undead Witch and Her Royal Highness the Princess that the gift we sent is called the Sea Elf.
We also prepared some small surprises for them on the Sea Elf."
Qi Ge nodded to Lion Heart, and Lion Heart understood. The Tianjing suddenly started up and leaped up, breaking through the wind and waves, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
…
"Faster."
"Yes, sir."
Above the clouds, a large group of golden dragons are flapping their wings and flying high.
Jenny, as a passenger, urged the elf driving the golden dragon again and again.
"Sister Jenny, don't be so anxious . The golden dragon is already flying very fast. It won't go much faster even if you hurry it."
Malodia gently held Jenny's hand, trying to calm her fluctuating emotions.
Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, but was still very nervous:
“That’s the Mithril Fleet, the Mithril Fleet is back.
The awakening of the goddess and the revival of us elves may begin with its return."
Malodia touched his forehead and said:
“Nothing is known yet, the future is still shrouded in mystery.
The path we think is right may lead to a deep pit.
Especially at this time, we must remain calm.”
…
…
Gold Coast, Golden Harbour.
[Jin Avili Fleet] The fleet has surrounded the entire port, and even the elves are not allowed to approach.
Merchants who were eager to go out to sea after trading goods in the capital, passengers who were going to other Jinling cities by passenger ship, fishermen who made a living on the sea...
Regardless of their social status or where they came from, the army prohibited all people from going out to sea, and even scolded them if they approached the port.
The people complained bitterly and were very confused, putting a lot of pressure on Golden Port, but all of it was suppressed by the leadership of Golden Port.
Just now, two legends, Jenny and Malodiya, the leaders of the entire Avili elves, entered the Sea Elf.
…
…
Jenny and Malaudia looked around the deck of the Sea Spirit in shock.
This battleship was exactly the same as they remembered, even newer than when it first went to sea.
"It really is the Sea Elf...
It’s incredible that after more than two hundred years, time has left no trace on it.”
Jenny murmured to herself:
“It’s almost as if it was just created.”
She looked at Malodia and said nervously:
"Princess, please."
"Um."
Malodiya squatted down, placed his hands on the deck of the Sea Gold and Silver, and chanted an extremely long elven spell.
"Sirloin... Sierra Morin Divat..."
Malodiya's magic book, flying high and being sharpened continuously, sank into the Sea Elf little by little along his palm.
Gradually, the deck of the Sea Elf began to emit a green light, and names began to appear on the deck one after another.
"Huiguangte, Jade Record, Gaudias, Kailan, Nof, Ilton..."
Jenny read out the names one by one, and her heart gradually sank.
"Here are the names of all the crew members of the Sea Spirit. Not one is left out. They have all died."
Malodia let go of her hand, the light disappeared, she opened her golden eyes, and said to Jenny:
“Sister Jenny, let’s escort the Sea Elf back quickly.
If we could use our ancestral shrines to call back the heroic spirits behind these names.
Perhaps we can know what happened to the Mithril Fleet."
"Wait a minute, there is one more thing we haven't done yet."
Jenny said doubtfully:
“Rafi told me that when Lionheart and the mysterious man sent the Sea Elf back, they said they had prepared another surprise inside the Sea Elf.
But I saw nothing on deck."
"Perhaps it is in the cabin."
Malaudia and Jenny looked at each other and nodded in unison.
They used magic to open the deck and walked in along the ladder.
Elves have magical vision and can see even without light.
Therefore, even in the dim interior of the cabin, the two of them could see everything clearly.
They walked along the cabin, looking around cautiously as they went deeper into the water.
"ah!"
At this moment, Malodia lowered her voice and cried out in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Jenny turned around immediately.
Malodia pointed ahead and said, "Sister Jenny, there is an elf corpse lying on the ground."
"yes."
“That costume is a protective suit made of magical wood bark.
Now we in Avili have long been unable to produce, could it be that these are the remains of those former elven warriors?"
Malodiya was a little excited.
Jenny did stop Malodia who was about to walk over.
She said seriously:
“We have yet to figure out whether Lionheart and that mysterious man are friends or foes.
Princess, please cover my back. I will go over and take a look first."
Jenny walked carefully to the elf. When she got close, she could clearly feel the life force flowing through the elf.
This discovery made Jenny's pupils shrink suddenly.
"Your Highness, he is still alive."
Jenny carefully squatted down and turned the elf over.
The elf's face was calm and peaceful, and he was sleeping soundly.
Seeing the elf's face, Jenny almost couldn't control her emotions.
"Macken! It's Macken! One of the members of the Mithril Fleet, the first mate of the Wood Elf!
He is still alive! That's great, that's great!"
Malodia asked from a distance:
“Sister Jenny, what happened to him? Why is he lying on the ground?”
"Let me see."
Jenny's eyes lit up red. She checked Marken's condition and said decisively:
"It's sleep magic."
Jenny took out the magic book and used the Dispel spell.
…
A ray of light flashed across Marken's body. Marken twitched suddenly as if possessed by a ghost and jumped up from the ground.
"Let me go! What are you doing? Where are you taking me?!"
Marken yelled, suddenly realizing that he was in a different place than he was before he passed out.
"Macken! Macken!"
Jenny's cry rang in Marken's ears. He quickly turned his head, exclaimed, and stood there in a daze.
Jenny stared at Marken and asked:
"Marken, do you remember me?"
"Lady Jenny!! How could I forget?"
Makan stood up from the ground in a flash and said excitedly:
“Master Jenny, did you rescue me?
Mithril Fleet·Wood Elf·No.102, Vice Captain Marken reports to you.
The Wood Elf has successfully completed its return mission and requests to return to the Empire."
As Marken spoke, tears burst out of his eyes:
"Sixty-three years. For these sixty-three years, I have been thinking about saying this every minute of every day."
"Patrolman Macon, it really is you!"
Malodia came over excitedly.
Marken gave Malodiya a puzzled look.
He stared carefully for a long time, and finally recognized from Malodia's appearance the noble figure whom he once respected so much.
"Little Princess?! Princess, how come you have grown so big?!"
At this point, Marken suddenly seemed to have thought of something, took a half step back in a trance, and muttered to himself:
"No, could it be that the undead lackey did not lie to me, and the Elf Empire really perished?"
As if he had grasped the last straw, he asked Jenny and Malaudia nervously:
"Lady Jenny, little princess, is the empire still there? How many years have passed since we left?"
Malodiya lowered his head, not daring to look Marken in the eye.
Jenny grabbed Marken's wrist and said sadly:
"Two hundred and sixty-seven years. The empire has fallen."
Bang!
Marken's fists suddenly clenched, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground, falling on his butt.
He closed his eyes in pain and said regretfully:
“It’s really perished, we are late.
We are still late.”
Jenny helped Marken up and said seriously, “No, you are not late.
Your return is our greatest comfort.
Vice Captain Macken, please cheer up. Both I and Your Highness the Princess have many, many questions to ask you. "
Marken was in a trance for a long time, until Jenny called him for the third time, he came to his senses.
He calmed down and said:
"Master Jenny, please feel free to ask."
"Where are the rest of the Mithril Fleet? Are you the only one back?
Why were you sent back by the Pirate King Lionheart? Why did the Sea Sprite end up in his hands? "
These four consecutive questions completely confused Marken.
Only then did he realize that the situation seemed a little different from what he had imagined.
“Wait a minute! Lady Jenny, weren’t you the one who rescued me?
Where is Lord Peake? Where are Lal and the others?
What does it mean that I come back alone? "
Marken was shocked:
"Could it be that they are still in the hands of those undead?"
Jenny and Malodiya looked at each other at the same time. They both realized an extremely critical issue: there were more than one survivor !
…
…
After a long period of information exchange, Marken told Jenny and the others about his experience of being rescued from the Immortal Wood and waking up inexplicably.
The name Qi Ge finally entered the ears of Jenny and Malodiya.
During the break, Jenny and Malodia had a private discussion.
Jenny frowned, looking puzzled:
“I originally thought that it was the pirate king Lionheart who seized the Sea Elf and brought you back, Marken. I never expected that there was such a thorny figure behind Lionheart.
Now the other elves are trapped in the hands of the Seven Pigeons, but he only sent you back. What does that mean?"
At this moment, Malodia opened his eyes and said bitterly:
“Sister Jenny, whether it’s the God’s Chosen City or the Seven Pigeons, I can’t predict any clues.
This feeling is exactly the same as when I predicted that mysterious man.
It seems that the mysterious man is not Lionheart, but Seven Doves."
Jenny's eyes sparkled:
“It can enter and exit the Sea of ​​Chaos, it can destroy demigod-level Chaos monsters, and it also owns a ship spirit warship that is not faster than the Blue Whale.
It is impossible for such a person to remain unknown in the world of Yasa.
But I had never heard of the name Qi Ge before.
Half-elf... maybe Gru will know some clues."
Malodia bit her lip and said:
"The most urgent task now is to rescue the other elves as soon as possible."
"Disaster……"
Jenny sighed and said:
"A Blue Whale ignored our fleet and charged into the Gold Coast.
This time, Lionheart and Seven Doves used this method to send the Sea Elf back, and the warning behind it was very obvious.
Before Lionheart became a demigod, the combination of him and the Blue Whale was invincible.
Now that Lionheart has become a demigod, and with the Blue Whale, perhaps no one except the Church of Poseidon can defeat him at sea.
This eliminates the possibility of us seizing by force.
We can only redeem those compatriots through negotiation."
"Like a pirate kidnapping?"
Malodia frowned and said:
“Maybe we don’t have to think so badly of Qi Ge.
Sister Jenny, didn’t Marken say that Qi Ge was very respectful and polite to them at the beginning?
It was after they attacked the people of the Seven Doves that the Seven Doves captured them.
Judging from Qi Ge’s initial behavior, he should have some goodwill towards us elves.”
"That was supposed to be the case, but since Marken and his men attacked his subjects, all the goodwill has gone to waste."
Jenny sighed and said:
“Lionheart made such a high-profile appearance on the Gold Coast this time, and openly announced that he had successfully returned from the Chaos Sea, becoming a demigod, and gave us Avili a gift.
Your Highness, how many people from different forces do you think witnessed this scene?
There is no doubt that the news of Lionheart's return will spread to the nine major forces at an unimaginable speed.
The Chaos Sea is mysterious and unpredictable. Lionheart is the only person in the past hundred years who has ventured deep into the Chaos Sea and returned.
They will all be curious about what Lionheart got from the Chaos Sea, and they will also be extremely concerned about what gift Lionheart gave to us Avili.
These gazes will seal all our large-scale actions.
Not to mention that we cannot predict the location of God's Chosen City, even if we did, we cannot go to God's Chosen City.
Not to mention our army, even the two of us can't go.
The hostages are in their hands, and we are doomed to be passive."
Malodia pouted and said:
"Sister Jenny , we shouldn't think so badly of Qi Ge. Maybe he just has something urgent to do and doesn't want to waste time."
Jenny was very surprised:
"Your Highness, the other party has kidnapped our compatriots, and you are still speaking in their favor?
Which country's princess are you from?
It is obvious that the other party is full of lies even in astronomy and there is not a single word of truth in it.
Qi Ge is not a druid, not entirely elven, and not even a woman."
Malodia was in a trance for a moment, and touched his cheek a little embarrassedly:
“Ah, I don’t know why, but when I heard the name Qi Ge, I had an inexplicable liking for him.
I just had a gut feeling that the other person was not a bad person."
Jenny rubbed her brows and said:
“Forget it, judging from Marken’s description, the other party is not an unreasonable person.
Let's go back to Marken first and find out the situation of the Mithril Fleet, and then think about how to save our compatriots."
…
…
When Jenny and Malodiya returned to Marken, he had just finished eating a thick slice of black pine mushroom and was wiping his mouth.
Jenny began to inquire about the intelligence of the former Mithril Fleet.
"Marken, what happened when you entered the Sea of ​​Chaos?"
“Sir, all of this starts with our mission.
When we just entered the Mithril Sea, the flagship Silver Spirit sensed the location of the fragments.
…
During the voyage we encountered many dangers and the fleet suffered heavy losses.
In the end, the other warships sank or were destroyed, leaving only the Silver Spirit, the Sea Elf and the Wood Elf.
The captain of the Silver Spirit told us that the three fragments of the guardian statue were scattered in three different locations.
One of them is located in the Emerald Islands.
When we arrived at the Emerald Islands, we found that the fragments of the [Guardian Statue of the Soul] were used by the Emerald Dragons as a barrier to resist the invasion of the Sea of ​​Chaos.
It was thanks to the protection of the fragments that the Emerald Dragon clan survived.
If we take the fragment away, the Emerald Dragons will be swallowed by the Sea of ​​Chaos.
After discussion, we decided to split our forces into two groups.
The warriors of our Wood Elves stayed behind to guard the fragments while fighting against Chaos together with the Emerald Dragon Clan.
The Sea Elf and Silver Spirit separated some of their crew members and drove the Wood Elf, and the three warships continued to search for the remaining two fragments.
But we persisted in the Emerald Islands for more than two years, and never waited for the return of the Silver Spirit and the Sea Elf.
In the end, the power contained in the fragments had become weaker and weaker, and was not even enough to support the Emerald Islands.
At the most dangerous moment, due to the random movement of the Sea of ​​Chaos, we actually appeared around the Immortal Wood.
Although there is an extremely terrifying sea of ​​chaotic insects surrounding the towering sacred tree, it is our only way to survive.
Rather than continue waiting and gradually dying, it is better to fight hard before you die.
Finally, the Emerald Dragon and I decided to break out with the fragments and the dragon egg while the fragments still had some power.
When we rushed into the dangerous and terrifying Chaos Insect Sea, we were surprised to find that the Emerald Dragons had already decided to become our cover to repay us for fighting together with them for more than two years.
Above the dangerous Chaos Sea of ​​Insects, the Emerald Dragons used their bodies to pave a path for us, allowing us to successfully reunite with the Harpies who came to support us from the Undying Wood.
But only one Emerald Dragon made it out alive with us.
Not long after the Emerald Dragon broke out of the encirclement, it was devoured by the Chaos Worms that were parasitizing its body.
We then held on to the Immortal Tree for another sixty years until the Seven Pigeons appeared, defeated the Sea of ​​Insects, and rescued us back to the Yasha World."
Jenny was extremely surprised:
"So, you have a dragon egg and a fragment of the [Mind Guardian Statue]?"
Makan nodded and replied:
"Yes, there are a total of sixty Emerald Dragon Eggs and the fragment. They are all in our possession and we have divided them up for safekeeping."
Jenny and Malaudia looked at each other and asked:
"Does Qi Ge know this news?"
Marken shook his head and said:
“We didn’t tell him.
We will repay him for saving us.
The fragments are the hope of the Elf Empire, and the dragon eggs are the future of the Emerald Dragon clan. Both are too important.
We will never use them to repay a favor.”
At this point, Marken became angry again.
"Humph! Fortunately we didn't tell you.
I never thought that our savior would collude with the dead, committing treason."
Malodia and Jenny were silent for a long time.
After a long while, Malodia sighed deeply and said:
"Marken, you're wrong.
We elves actually have no hatred towards the undead.
I know it's hard for you to understand since you experienced the Undead Scourge, and I can't tell you the reason.
I just hope you know that the appearance of undead in the territory of Qige is actually a very normal thing.
Qi Ge actually didn’t do anything wrong to you, it’s you who did something wrong to him.”
Maken's pupils shrank.
"Little princess, what do you mean?
What do you mean the undead and the elves have no hatred?"
"That's enough. Let me explain."
Jenny interrupted their conversation.
She patted Malodia on the shoulder and said:
“Princess, go out first and awaken the heroic spirits that reside in the names.
The rest, leave it to me."
…
…
After a long time, the door of Marken's room slowly opened, and Jenny walked out with a cold face.
Standing outside the door waiting, Malodia asked nervously:
“Sister Jenny, can he accept it?”
"Of course not.
The news we could tell him was not enough to convince him.
This is not the first time we have experienced something like this.
I can only choose to use magic to smooth everything over, just like before.
Forgetting is the best antidote."
Jenny shook her head silently and said:
"For us, knowing the truth is actually painful."
Malodiya bit her lip and fell silent.
Jenny patted Malodia on the shoulder and asked:
"Did the deceased heroes on the Sea Elf respond?"
Malodiya nodded vigorously and said:
"Yes, but as we expected, the information they were able to convey was limited and vague."
Jenny's eyes lit up:
"What's the most crucial information?"
Malodia said sadly:
"The Silver Spirit must have sunk. The remaining two fragments were not recovered."
Jenny took a deep breath:
"So, the branch left by the goddess..."
"Yes, they were also lost in the Sea of ​​Chaos."
Jenny closed her eyes in pain, then smiled bitterly and shook her head:
“Forget it, it’s not much different from what we speculated.
Being able to salvage a piece of debris is already a pleasant surprise.
Let's go, let's contact that mysterious man and see what he wants."
…
…
God's chosen city.
Qi Ge, who was drinking with Lion Heart, suddenly felt a throbbing sensation.
[System prompt: Your astronomy auxiliary skill has sent a message that someone is trying to find you. Do you want to respond? ]
Qi Ge smiled slightly, drank the Dream Wine in his hand in one gulp, and said to Lion Heart:
"Old man, the fish is on the hook. I'm going to go first."
He closed his eyes and fell into the chair.
And his consciousness, along with the astronomical network, appeared in a magnificent hall.
With Sky Boat, Qi Ge has now transformed from a novice user of the astronomy network to an administrator.
With a casual pull of his hand, he created a green grassland in his own space.
Then he snapped his fingers and pulled Jenny and Malodiya directly into the grassland he created.
“Welcome to the Green Grassland Meeting Room.
Your Majesty Jeanne, Your Majesty Princess, I am very happy to see you again."
Qi Ge appeared openly without any disguise and bowed to Malodia and Jenny who were in shock.
Jenny looked at Qi Ge, took a good look at his appearance, and sighed:
“I never thought you had such a sunny and handsome appearance.
This appearance doesn't really match the cold and wet things you do."
Malodia pulled up her skirt, saluted Qi Ge in return, and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty the Seventh Dove, thank you for keeping your promise, returning the Sea Elf, and giving us such a big gift."
"Hahaha."
Qi Ge laughed hypocritically and said:
“You’re welcome, it’s just a small favor.
I have a lot of gifts at home, and I don’t know whether I should send them to you.”
"snort."
Jenny said angrily:
“As a half-elf, you actually kidnapped your fellow elves and tried to blackmail us.
Aren't you afraid that Gru will blame you?"
Qi Ge pointed to his ears and said:
"When you see my true appearance, you will definitely know that I am a half-elf.
But since I dare to let you know my true appearance, I am not afraid of your threats.
To be honest, His Majesty Gru and I do have some connections, but the relationship is different from what you imagine.
You can try to find Gru and tell him directly that I, Qige, have captured some Pokémons.
You can guess whether Gru will stand on my side or on your side."
The confidence revealed in Qi Ge's words shocked both Jenny and Malodia.
Jenny simply couldn't understand where Qi Ge's mysterious confidence came from.
She asked in surprise:
"What do you mean by that?
Do you think that Gru, as the demigod of our Avili, will turn against our Avili for you?
You don't want to tell us that you are the illegitimate child of Catherine and Gru?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Qi Ge was amused.
“That’s definitely not the case.
Even if it is true, His Majesty Gru is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish between public and private.
I just want to tell you, don't threaten me with Gru, it's useless.
As for whether you believe it or not, it is up to you two.”
Jenny frowned and said nothing more.
Malodia held her hand to her heart and said softly:
“Your Majesty, I apologize for the recklessness of our compatriots.
On behalf of Avili, I am willing to compensate you in full for the terror they have caused to your people and the damage they have caused to your territory.
I just hope you won't hurt them and can escort them back to our Avili.
Please, they are really important to us in Avili. ”
Qi Ge took a look at Malodiya and had to admit that Malodiya was indeed very beautiful.
As a golden elf with a naturally high charm value, coupled with her pitiful temperament, her appearance is enough to rank among the top in the Yasa world.
But unfortunately, Qi Ge didn't buy it.
Qi Ge said directly:
“This is not a shock.
If I hadn't stopped them in time, my people would have died at their hands.
I treated them as my distinguished guests and provided them with VIP treatment, but they wanted to kill my subjects?
How can I tolerate this?
If it weren't for my relationship with Gru, I would have killed them long ago.
You want to redeem them with simple compensation?
Oh, don't look down on others."
Qi Ge snapped his fingers, and behind him, row after row of magic wood appeared, piling higher and higher.
He said seriously:
“Your men must have told you that I paid them more than twenty times the compensation for damaging the Golden Light.
Do you think I will be short of gold coins?
I'm sure you will never imagine how much wealth Lionheart and I brought back from the Sea of ​​Chaos.
Whether it's gold or resources, they are meaningless to us."
Malodia said quickly:
"Your Majesty the Seventh Dove, since you are here, it means that you have a need for us, right?
What do you want? Just ask. "
Qi Ge snapped his fingers and collected the magic wood that was almost piled up into a small mountain behind him.
He said seriously:
"Don't be nervous, Princess.
I just want some simple intelligence.
Some information about the Mithril Fleet, the Blind Brotherhood, and the reasons for the destruction of the Elf Empire.
The more the better. ”
