The Death List Novel - Chapter 622
Chapter 622 Mastasia
“Haha!” Seeing Qin Lun’s embarrassment, the tall and well-built female Elves burst out into laughter again. She was not as reserved and shy as an ordinary female Elves. “I didn’t expect that the cunning fox-like Ferral Moonlight in Milleras’ mouth would actually have such a cute side.”
“Did that kid Milleras send you here?” Qin Lun pretended to be angry and waved his hand.
“Haha, Your Highness, I just said that I am a harpist, not someone else’s subordinate. I only follow the guidance of my own heart in everything I do.” Mastasia smiled and waved her hand, pointing at the irritated Hellfire Devil Dog. “It seems like you should call your hunting companion back to Pet Park. He is a little impatient with the environment here.”
“You still haven’t said why you’re following us?” Qin Lun was very vigilant and did not recall Cyberlus immediately.
“A few months ago, the Japanese envoy from Elves arrived in Yongju Island, and Anke Fairy Court in the middle of the continent is integrating the Forest of Winter and Thorns. Although the effects of these two events are still fermenting, some of the higher-ups of the various races who know the situation have linked them together and are aware that Ferren Elves will undergo another major transformation.”
“We don’t know if this shift will benefit all the continental intelligent races,” Mastasia said solemnly. “Although the Harpsichord Alliance is known as the interventionist of the continent, we know ourselves that nothing can stop it before the great wheel of history.
Our only hope is to try to steer this change for the better. You, Ferrari Moonlight, although Your Highness is not the leader of the Ancient Road Envoy, according to some intelligence, we have discovered that you are also a major member of the Ancient Road Envoy.
“You also have great influence on the future of the Elves Court of Radiance. We hope that by understanding you and everything around you, we can guess where the Elves Court of Radiance will go in the future. Will it trigger the sixth Crown War between the Sun Court of Elves and the Elves Court of Radiance of the Moon?”
“So you guys are expecting me to make peace between the Sun Court and the Radiant Moon Court.” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he immediately understood. He sneered and said, “Unfortunately, the ideal of the Harpsichord Alliance does not represent my will. I’m afraid it will be very difficult for you to’guide ‘me.”
His insight was so sharp that even though Mustacha had said a lot, it did not affect his judgment in the slightest. The point of Mastasia’s words was not whether the Harpsichord Alliance wanted to know him, but Qin Lun’s storyline identity.
He was a key member of the Ancient Road Envoy Corps and also the future Prince Theopia Elves of the Royal Court of Shining Moon. He and Prince Milleras of Ri Elves were life-and-death companions and one of the important inheritors recognized by King Anke Elves.
If Japan’s Elves and Moon’s Elves were to face off against each other in the future, he would be the best candidate for reconciliation. The purpose of the Harpsichord Alliance is to maintain the balance of the continent and eliminate evil. Whatever the reason for the war, it was obvious that it was the greatest evil that had disrupted the balance of the continent.
Since Qin Lun was such an important balance point, it was only natural that Mastassa would come to Bird’s Gate to search for clues about him.
“Actually, I came to the Land of Death a month before you appeared. Do you know why?” Masta Xia said without caring about Qin Lun’s cold attitude of refusing to leave a thousand miles away.
“You want to find me? No, no, you want to find Easten!” Qin Lun frowned and thought for a moment before his eyes lit up.
Qin Lun had already returned to the Shattered Star System months ago. No matter how much energy the Harpsichord Alliance had in the Ferren Continent, it was impossible for them to find him. Then the only reason Masta Xia came to the Land of Death was to find Easten.
“You are indeed terribly clever, as Milleras said.” Mustacha stared deeply at him and continued with a smile, “I don’t know what you met back then, and why you suddenly disappeared at the Bird’s Gate, leaving me and the other harpists with no clues at all.”
However, over time, we have discovered that there is another person who may be able to take part in your influence, and that is Elves, Elistine Moonset, the other month of the diplomatic corps … ”
“If you came to the Land of Death a month ago, then …” Qin Lun’s face suddenly turned pale, his expression so gloomy that it seemed as if he was about to drip into the water.
The harpists were a bunch of idealistic lunatics. They weren’t ordinary mercenaries hired by Schiffer, so they didn’t consider the mission risk from the perspective of personal safety. Since Mastasia had come to the Land of Death to look for Elistine, she must have gone deep into the swamp.
Judging from her current beating around the bush, it was clear that she had not been able to find Elven druid.
Qin Lun’s combat strength might not be inferior to the Highland Elves in front of him, but every harpsichord, especially the Ranger and Bard Harpsichord, was a master adventurer. Field adventure experience was definitely better than his, especially in the special geographical environment of the Land of Death.
“Don’t worry. Although I couldn’t find Elistine, I still found some clues. They may not be dead. However, the longer they drag on, the less likely they are to survive.” Said Mustacha seriously.
Qin Lun’s expression became much better and his eyes became calm again. He did not immediately ask Mastassa for clues about Elistine. Instead, he indifferently looked at Highland Elves and asked, “Do you have anything that proves the identity of a harpist?”
‘”Haha, we harpists are used to acting alone, and many of us do spying work that you disdain. There is no’ Harpist ‘engraved on our foreheads. Apart from frequently changing codes, many of us do not wear too obvious identity symbols.” Mustacha smiled and said, “However, you are very lucky. I happen to have a small item on me that can prove my identity.”
Mastasia raised her hand and threw out a small object. The object drew a silver light under the moonlight and landed on Qin Lun’s palm.
Qin Lun looked over and saw that this small object was a unique harp pin. There was a small Mithril unicorn carved on the W-shaped vertical pattern in the middle. The obsidian diamond beast’s eyes reflected a fascinating glow under the moonlight.
Harpsichord pin: A precious magical item of at least dark gold quality, indicating that the wearer is a respectable and trusted member of the Harpsichord.
It protects the wearer from certain magical attacks, and most owners carry it around at all times without giving it away to unfamiliar outsiders. Most harpists who own it regard it as a medal of honor in comparison to the value of its precious items.
This high ground in front of him, Elves, was actually a master harpist! Qin Lun raised his eyebrows. In the past, Milleras had discussed the organization of harpists with him. The so-called master harpist was not a professional rank, but a respectable title for members of the Harpist Alliance.
Only those harpists who have performed well in certain major events are addressed as such by other members. In Apostle’s view, the so-called major events were at least legendary plots, and even epic plots. All of them were historical plots at the national and regional levels.
“Please forgive my rudeness just now, respected harpsichord master!” Qin Lun waved his hand and recalled the Hellfire Devil Hound. With a bright smile, he threw the harpsichord pin back. He bowed and smiled respectfully, “Feral Moonlight, I’m at your service!”
“Ho ho ho, your face is changing so quickly!” ‘”I’ve never seen anyone so respectful of a harpsichord,” said Mustacha, with a grin on her face and a grand twin peaks on her chest. “It’s like other people are hiding from the plague when they see a harpsichord!” “I’ve never seen anyone so respectful of a harpsichord!”
Qin Lun’s eyelids twitched when he saw this, but he could only pretend that his grandson was smiling.
“Cough cough, that … Master Masta Xia, it’s important to save people now. Look …”
“Then you have no objection. Let me follow you during this period of time!” Mastasia tilted her head and asked.
“Of course, this is Ferrari’s honor!” Qin Lun’s smile was like a spring breeze, causing Masta Xia to feel that her previous face was simply an illusion.
“It’s just a little fake!” Mustacha muttered in a low voice, waved her hand, and said generously, “Then let’s go and find Elistine as soon as possible.”
Qin Lun did not hesitate to turn around and lead the way towards their camp.
The two of them had spent a lot of time in this battle, and the horizon had already lit up a little. It would soon be dawn.
“Master Masta Xia, since you found traces of Elistine last time, do you know anything about her current situation?” After walking for a while, Qin Lun carefully probed.
“You should just call me Masta Xia. I don’t think I’m used to hearing you talk like this!” Mastasia sighed and asked, “What do you know about the Land of Death?”
“I only know some rumors!” Qin Lun shrugged and confessed.
“If you don’t understand, it would be too troublesome to explain.” Mastasia frowned and pondered for a moment before continuing, “From the observation of some traces, I can tell that Elistine and the female knight of Lauvita have gone through several fierce battles. The opponent should be a large intelligent creature.”
Qin Lun nodded. This clue was exactly what Seaver had said. The expedition team was attacked by trolls, Mason Old butler was captured, and most of the mercenaries were killed. He and Elistine were separated and escaped through Bird’s Gate alone.
“I followed the traces of the battles they left behind and searched the depths of the Land of Death for two weeks. Before the final tracks, I stopped and had to return to the Bird Gate.” Mastasia said with a helpless expression.
“Why?” Qin Lun asked curiously. The harpist did not seem to be the kind of smart person who would retreat in the face of difficulties.
“As long as it is possible to complete the mission, I am not afraid of danger. However, this does not mean that I am willing to die for nothing. This is of no help to the mission.” Mastasia rolled her eyes and continued, “I came back to Bird’s Gate to wait for a few companions. Unfortunately, the harpists in this area are too strong to go to the Land of Death.”
“Just as I was waiting, you actually appeared alive, as if you were buried underground!” Masta Xia curled her lips. Obviously, she had great resentment for not being able to dig Qin Lun out of Bird’s Gate in the past.
Qin Lun smiled bitterly. Just a few days ago, he really jumped out of the ground.
“Then … did you find any prominent clues in the last tracks?” Qin Lun asked nervously.
“Yes, in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, they entered the most dangerous forbidden area in the Land of Death!” Mustacha’s expression became serious at last, and she thought for a moment, and said, “There is less than ten percent chance of survival in that place, if I go in alone. They are two people, and I said they might have twenty percent chance.”
