The Death List Novel - Chapter 389
Chapter 389 Milleras’s Secrets
“Did they agree to let ‘Fortress’ join the storyline of the Sun Fairy?” Qin Lun curled up in a big horned deer caravan and chatted with Nicole on the guild channel. The external injuries on his body were no longer important, but his spirit still hadn’t recovered. His entire body was wrapped in a blanket, making him look somewhat dispirited.
‘”Haha, they have to agree that the lost rookie group was seriously injured in this attack. The two junior apostles who died were helpless auxiliary apostles. One of them was a pure healing totem shaman. Only I can compensate for this loss.” Nicole said with a smile.
“Toril World has greatly increased my strength. Apart from not crossing the Third Grade Professional Barrier, my current strength is no less than a Third Grade Healing Priest. You’ve guessed it again. If it were someone else in the guild, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be so easy to compromise.”
Qin Lun smiled. He suggested that Nicole follow the migration team. Apart from being a pure-blooded Moon Night Fairy, the main reason was that she was a pure Healing Divine Artist.
He had warned Nicole to help the Lost Rookies when necessary. Rather than forcibly contacting Prince Milleras and snatching away this major storyline, this kind of gesture of kindness made it easier for Lost to share the quest with them.
However, this was still just a strategy. Most of the credit for achieving such a result lay with Nicole.
The Santalin Society had dispatched a total of four high-level professions to attack the Japanese Fairy Envoy. Among them, one was a high-level mage, two were warriors, and one was a dark knight from the Church of Keswimm.
The four attackers had been hiding amongst ordinary thieves in the previous attack by the human thieves, approaching the migrating team and disguising themselves as corpses after faking their deaths. It wasn’t until the orcs’ lizard cavalry attacked that they jumped out to attack Prince Milleras.
Nicole was very smart and did not help the Lost Rookies at the beginning. Only after they lost two helpers and fought together did she help the Lost Rookies from afar.
However, this was not the case for the apostles, and it could not be said that they did not save the apostles in the face of death. Since he was a quest competitor, it was already considered good that he didn’t hit a target when he was down.
“Haven’t they shared the mission with you yet?” Qin Lun glanced at the death list and asked indifferently.
‘”The rookie guild leader, Robin, has signed a soul contract with me. Once we arrive at Anke’s Fairy Court, they will share the mission. At the same time, they will formally ask Prince Milleras to hire our’fortress guild’.” Nicole shook her head and said with some regret.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. Stark and the others are not here, and they’ve lost a lot in this battle. It’s only natural that they won’t let go of Jondar’s mission to Ank.”
Qin Lun nodded in understanding. Nicole could go past the Lost Party and directly find Prince Milleras to take over the mission. However, in this way, the two teams would be at loggerheads. That was not a cooperation, but a snatch mission. It was likely that the two sides would have to fight each other first.
While chatting with Nicole, the caravan suddenly stopped. Qin Lun pulled open the curtain of the caravan and found that the sky was getting dark. The migration team was going to camp.
With the orange-red sunset in the sky, he could already see the hazy shadow far away from the plains. That was the Anke Forest. After more than ten days of trekking, the Moon Fairy migration team was finally about to reach the end of this journey.
Around the migration team, there were some elven cavalry riding unicorns patrolling in the distance. That was the Royal Court Guards of the Anke Fairy Court, and they were also their most elite unicorn knights.
After the migration team crossed Lake Naga yesterday, the Ank Fairy came as promised and brought a hundred unicorn knights to receive the first group of Moon Fairy compatriots from afar.
The elves were extremely skilled in camping in the wilderness. In just over ten minutes, they had already begun to take shape. Sparks of campfires lit up on the dim plains, and wheat fragrance mixed with a faint smell of meat wrapped around the tents.
The two elven youths helped Qin Lun out of the caravan, arranged for him to enter a tent that was first erected, and brought him a bowl of steaming hot soup. The crushed wheat pancakes turned into paste in the soup, with some unknown cauliflower and minced meat floating on top.
Qin Lun lowered his head and took a sip. A stream of hot air pierced through his chest, making his entire body feel warm and unusually comfortable. During the battle a few days ago, he had dislocated his limbs and fractured his bones. Although he had reattached them now, he still hadn’t recovered to his peak condition. He didn’t mind continuing to pretend to be a patient.
“Ferrar!” The curtains of the tent were lifted, and Elistine, who was dressed in a strong suit, bent down and got into the tent. However, she didn’t come alone this time, and there was another elf behind her.
“You … Prince Milleras!” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly. He hadn’t expected the Prince of the Sun Fairy to visit him. Could it be that his identity as an apostle had been exposed? The Lost Rookies asked Milleras to test him?
“Sir Ferrari, please don’t mind coming here!” Milleras glanced at Qin Lun’s bandaged right eye and asked with a smile, “Is your injury alright?”
After Qin Lun woke up, he noticed that his right eye was swollen and aching, blood and tears flowing down his face, and that his injuries were showing signs of worsening, so he bandaged it with a healing bandage smeared with precious medicine.
“I’m fine. Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern!” Qin Lun smiled and nodded. Then, he turned to look at Elistine with a trace of inquiry in his eyes.
“Your Highness Milleras, I said I wanted to discuss something with you, so I brought him over.” Elistine hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to explain.
“Your Highness, please sit down and talk!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he smiled and said, “Also, please call me Ferrar. There’s no need to be so polite.”
“Alright, Ferrari!” Milleras sat on the blanket in front of Qin Lun and pondered for a moment before asking, “Feral, I heard that you had been traveling in the human world before returning to Jondahl. I wonder what you think of the human kingdom on the continent of Feilun?”
“Which human kingdom does His Royal Highness refer to?” Qin Lun lowered his eyelids slightly and asked noncommittally, “Shaya in the south? Inbutu and Cesc in the east, Silvermoon Federation in Nethril in the north, Ames, Tyser and Kalinshan in the southwest, or Bird Gate, Deepwater City and Absolute East City in Sword Bay?”
“Haha, Ferrari, your knowledge is truly vast. The human kingdom you mentioned basically includes all the powerful countries in the Ferren Continent.” Milleras’ eyes lit up and he smiled. “But you misunderstood me. I wanted to ask you what you think of the human race as a whole.”
“… Humans are diligent and eager to learn. Their creativity and imagination are outstanding among the intelligent races. They are a continental race that is in the ascending and prosperous period.” Qin Lun’s words became more and more cautious. He had roughly guessed Milleras’ purpose.
“Have you forgotten that human habits are fickle and aggressive? Even promises and contracts witnessed by gods can be torn apart at will. They are intelligent races with supreme interests?” Milleras added with a faint smile, “The various human kingdoms in the current Ferren Continent are fighting endlessly. For money and power, countless dark organizations of the evil faction have been born. It is already a chaotic world.”
“Struggling for power and excluding dissidents is not the prerogative of humanity.” Qin Lun glanced at Milleras and said indifferently, “During the Great Elf Civilization, there were many wars in Ferren’s elven courts.”
When Milleras heard this, he was embarrassed and fell silent.
During the Great Elf Civilization, apart from the Battle of Giants launched by the Qi and Flame Giants and the two dragon wars, most of the other wars were civil wars waged by the elves. Five of the Crown Wars even burned down large areas of forest, allowing the elves to finally hand over control of the continent.
Throughout the Great Elf Civilization, there were actually only two culprits responsible for these elven wars, the Dark Elves and the Sun Elves. Compared to the battles of theocracy and unification between Irivada and Iris, the other Moon Fairy and Green Fairy-dominated Fairy Courts were practically passively responding to the battles.
The Dark Elves had now been driven underground, becoming an underground race that could not see the sun. The Elf Goddess Ayushnie had turned into the Spider God Empress Rose, so it could be said that she had already been punished. In comparison, the Japanese elves who had lost their ancient heritage and leadership were extremely fortunate. At least, they still had the Commanso Forest and Eternal Assembly Island to live in.
Qin Lun’s words were clearly referring to the various elven palaces. In fact, he was mocking the Ancient Era’s Arivandari Elves, the Sun Palace established by the Waxing Enta Empire. Milleras could tell what he meant, but the young man was telling the truth, so he could only remain silent.
“Feral, I do not deny that the Ancient Era’s Sun Elves have done great harm to the other clansmen, but it has been more than 10,000 years since those things happened. We should look ahead …” Milleras sighed and slowly said, “Actually, I came to see you this time to ask you for a small favor …”
“I can’t help you. You should go directly to Grand Elder Edeline or High Priest Menon for this matter!” Without waiting for Milleras to finish, Qin Lun shook his head and refused.
“You guessed it?” Milleras smiled bitterly and stood up helplessly. “Well, in that case, I have nothing to say. But please think about it again. After all, it’s only good for the Jondahl Moon Fairy, not bad.”
After Milleras left, Elistine did not leave immediately. Just now, the two of them had a short and vague conversation, causing the druid to hear a black line on his forehead.
She did not understand what the two of them were talking about. Why did they suddenly discuss the views of the human world and suddenly turn to the war of the Great Elf Civilization? In the end, before Milleras could ask Ferrari to help him, he directly rejected him.
“I don’t understand?” Qin Lun glanced at her and looked at Elistine with his little cherry mouth open. “I really want to know” the appearance of a curious baby. He couldn’t help but have a hint of evil interest and shuddered on the elf druid’s smooth forehead.
“Idiot, he wants me to persuade Grand Elder and the others to send some high-ranking experts to join the Japanese Elves’ envoy.” Qin Lun said unhappily, “Next time he comes looking for you, don’t bring him to me. Take him directly to see Grand Elder Adrienne or High Priest Meron.”
“Ah, it hurts!” Elistine covered his forehead and cried out in pain. However, he was immediately attracted back to Qin Lun’s words. “The guards beside Milleras are almost all dead in this battle. No wonder he was so anxious. But why did you refuse him? With Milleras’ status, asking us to send some guards isn’t that impressive!”
Qin Lun looked at Elistine speechlessly. He now understood why High Priest Menon didn’t support the descendants of the royal family and competed for the Elf throne with the Green Elves of the Demon Cup Royal Court. The political intelligence of these fellows was too low!
Whether it was King Testament or the Moon Fairy Tribal Council of Elders, they all wanted to rope in the Japanese Fairy Envoy and leave a path for their clansmen to retreat. But why did King Testament only want Milleras to sneak into and out of the Envoy Forest instead of sending the Royal Guards to escort the Prince?
The reason for that was because he had brought Milleras along with him when he left for Anke, which could be considered as helping and roping him in. However, sending someone to escort them directly was equivalent to showing the position of the entire Jondahl Fairy Court to the other Fairy Courts of the entire Ferren Continent.
The migration of the Sun Elves had been intermittent for several years, but in the past, it had been a small-scale migration of dozens or hundreds of people. Only when they were certain of the survival of the third generation World Tree did they plan to migrate as a whole and use Evergathering Island’s unique geographical location to avoid the increasingly powerful humans in Ferren Continent and rebuild the Sun Palace with the Sun Elves at its core.
The Moon Fairies and Green Fairies had long yearned for peace, for a paradise free of all other races and conflicts, but were they willing to give up their independence and return to the Sun Fairies’ Palace? Wasn’t the pain of the five ancient crown wars enough?
The answer was self-evident!
It was one thing to secretly help Milleras and leave a path for the clansmen. It was another matter for him to directly express his position and get close to the Sun Fairy. The Jondar Green Fairy was unwilling to return the throne to the Moon Fairy. Could it be that she was willing to give up independence and directly submit to the Sun Fairy?
Once the Japanese Fairy Envoy was sent a bodyguard, even if the Demon Cup Royal Court didn’t say anything, wouldn’t Milleras spread the news all the way to the other Fairy Courts? If other Fairy Courts, such as the descendants of Ilfarang from the Mill Forest, found out about this matter, what would they think of the Jondahl Fairies?
Therefore, neither King Testament nor the other elven kings could take the initiative to break the mutual understanding between the Moon Fairies and the Green Fairies. To build a paradise for elves on Eternal Assembly Island, that’s fine! It was also possible to rebuild the Sun Palace! However, he would no longer acknowledge the leadership of the Japanese elves. At the very least, it would be the joint rule of several elven races.
This was the complicated mentality of the Fairies towards the Sun Fairy Envoy. They hoped that Evergathering Island would become the last refuge for the Fairies, but they were no longer willing to obey the leadership of the Fairies.
