The Death List Novel - Chapter 85

Chapter 85 The Crisis of the Elves
Malfoy did not notice Qin Lun’s expression. He pointed to the potion materials that His Excellency Qin Lun had given us and said, “We have synthesized two boxes of healing ointments. As for the eyeballs and heart cores of those magical creatures, our abilities are limited. We can only make them into consumable magical items!”

Qin Lun reached out and touched the items on the coffee table. He closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness in the list of the dead. Malfoy and Adrienne exchanged glances and were not surprised. They knew that the apostles had their own way of identifying equipment.

[Moonlight Intermittent Ointment (Lower Grade): Blue quality. This ointment incorporates Golden Silkworm dust into the formula and can quickly heal all kinds of injuries and contusions. It also has good effects on some injuries that may cause disability. (The effect has not been appraised and the death list cannot confirm the specific data)]

[Petrified Demonic Eye: Purple quality. This item is affected by the dark energy of the Stone Statue Ghost Core. It activates the Giant Lizard’s eyeball’s innate ability. It can explode with a Tier 5 magic-Petrified Light. It is a consumable magic item, 1/1 of a time.]

Purple quality? Qin Lun raised his eyebrows. This was truly an unexpected surprise. According to the level of the Shattered Universe, rank 5 magic should have reached the Intermediate Strength level. Unfortunately, it was a consumable item, and two Demonic Eyes could only be used twice.

“How is it? Are you satisfied?” Malfoy looked at Qin Lun expectantly. The ingredients for the ointment were mostly provided by Qin Lun. However, the Petrified Demonic Eye had used some of the Moria Clan’s supplementary ingredients.

Qin Lun did not speak immediately. His face was as calm as water. He glanced at Edeline beside Malfoy, pondered for a moment, and then took out the demon mask that Berylseth had given him.

“The Abyss Devils who are in charge of the reception gave me a mask!” Qin Lun thought about his words and said, “And I have already agreed to wear this demon mask while moving around the city!”

Malfoy looked at the mask in Qin Lun’s hand and his expression changed slightly. Of course, he knew what this meant. However, the Fairy quickly regained her composure. She glanced coldly at Edeline beside her. The Fairy Beauty’s expression was somewhat embarrassed and she lowered her head in frustration.

On that day in the Moonlight Forest, after Edeline received Qin Lun’s commission, her idea was to make ointment and demonic eyes for Qin Lun, and then cut off a portion of the materials according to the principle of equal exchange.

However, Fernand’s words caused her to temporarily give up on this idea. Was an apostle who had only been in the Moonlight Forest for two weeks and whose attributes were darkness worthy of continuing to invest?

Edeline’s hesitation prevented her from explaining the results of the refinement to Qin Lun on the day the apostles left the Moonlight Forest. Rather, he wanted to wait until he reached the Horn of the Abyss to discuss with Mafa before deciding whether to hand over the refined items to the young man.

It was precisely because of this that Qin Lun thought that he had already used these materials to return Malfoy’s favor and cut off his ties with the Moonlight Forest. If it weren’t for this matter, even if he took the demon mask, he wouldn’t have gone to Berylseth to ask for a reward.

In that case, it was Qin Lun’s freedom to wear the Demon Mask or not.

“Sir Qin Lun, do you have to wear this mask on the Evil Devil’s Horn?” Malfoy’s handsome face revealed a trace of unwillingness.

“Berylseth paid 25 extra City Points for this!” Qin Lun lowered his eyelids and said indifferently.

Malfoy let out a breath and his handsome face calmed down. “That old cunning devil is truly willing to part with it”. He even brought a trace of relaxation to his face.

Now that things had come to this point, Malfoy was unable to say anything. However, from another perspective, this wasn’t a bad thing. That old cunning devil Berylseth had always been famous for his eyesight. Even he recognized Qin Lun’s potential, proving that Malfoy’s previous investment had not gone wrong. Moreover, since Qin Lun had taken the initiative to explain everything to him, it meant that the relationship between the two sides was still there. The elves still had a chance to obtain the help of this apostle in the future.

Seeing that Malfoy had returned to normal, a smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face as he put away the two items on the coffee table.

“Sir Malfoy, I heard from Berylseth that the elves are in trouble. Can you tell me more about it?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he asked softly.

“Hehe, of course. Every official apostle has a strong sense of crisis. Perhaps your opinion can give us a new direction of thinking!” Malfoy said without any hesitation, “In fact, the situation of our Moon Night Elves at the Horn of the Devil has already reached an extremely terrible level!”

Following Malfoy’s narrative, Qin Lun understood the Moonlight Fairy’s current situation. The governing council of the Horn of Devils is made up of five intelligent races. The overall number of the five is the same, but the poorly managed races will be replaced by candidates.

The Moonlight Fairy had lost nearly 50,000 urban points in the last race war. Adding on the fact that they were the only one of the five ruling races who was on the good side of order, they were suppressed in the City Governing Council election.

Although the arrival of the Moonlight Forest temporarily suppressed the oppression of other ruling races, there was no change in the apostolic vote. Their ratings are still so low that if they don’t get enough votes in recent weeks, they could really be replaced by a candidate.

“Before the deficit was filled, there was a crisis–no more time! The Horn of the Abyss is located on the scorching plains-it’s a perfect location! “The combined oppression of the other ruling races, the mistrust of the urban apostles-people and nothingness …” Qin Lun flicked his finger on the coffee table and suddenly opened his eyes. “Sir Malfoy, do you know which race is the candidate to replace the Moon Night Elves?”

“I don’t know. Unless this is a recommended race, I’m afraid other races won’t be able to see any specific information about the candidate race!” Malfoy was slightly stunned and quickly replied.

Don’t you even know who your opponent is? Qin Lun shook his head and smiled bitterly. These Moonlight Fairies were too rigid. They obeyed the rules. No wonder they were in such trouble.

“Sir Mafa, can you give me a detailed account of the racial war that caused you to fall into a deficit crisis?” Qin Lun sighed and hinted.

“That’s our Moon Night Fairy and Dark Night Fairy race’s interior … Could it be that you suspect …” Mafa was startled halfway through his words as he suddenly stood up from his chair.

“Even if it’s internal strife, it’s still a stupid thing to be hostile to a powerful race that has their backs on the apostles’ city, unless there’s a greater interest in seducing them!” Qin Lun said calmly while supporting his chin.

“Of course, this is just a guess. You need to confirm it yourself. However, I am certain that the other four management races of the Chaos faction will be able to unite against the Moon Night Fairy. This means that this candidate race should also belong to the Chaos faction.”

“The night elves belong to the chaos neutral faction!” Malfoy muttered to himself with an ugly expression, “No wonder they were so anxious in the war. After we hired a large number of apostles, we directly abandoned the disputed minerals continent!”

“Father, we should immediately go back and inform the elders!” Adrienne looked at Qin Lun strangely and reminded Malfoy softly.

“No hurry!” Malfoy raised his hand and interrupted his daughter’s words. He sat down again and sincerely asked, “Sir Qin Lun, do you have any suggestions on the situation of the Moonlight Fairy?”

Hearing Malfoy’s words, Qin Lun finally blinked his eyes and revealed a cramped smile.

“It’s true that the Moonlit Fairy is short of city points. The Horn of the Abyss is on the territory of the Abyss Devil Race. The weather is good and the location is not on our side. However, are there any peace between us … Sir Malfoy, do you think that once this conspiracy is spread in the city, it will arouse the disgust of many of the apostles?

Moreover, the management council of the Horn of the Devil already has four chaos factions. If even the last of the factions is excluded, will it arouse the doubts of those high-ranking apostle guilds … ”

Half an hour later, Malfoy and Edelyn walked out of Qin Lun’s villa. Both of them had worried expressions on their faces.

If Qin Lun’s conjecture was correct, the Moonlight Forest would have little effect on the scorching plains and would weaken the sympathy of the urban apostles. They needed to report to the Board of Elders immediately and collect more information about the Night Elves to formulate corresponding countermeasures.

“Father, you have long since seen the apostle …” Adrienne bit her lips and asked doubtfully, “but Sir Fernand said that there was a very strong evil aura on his body …”

“The apostles are completely different existences from us! Although most apostles are humanoid creatures in appearance, you can’t treat them as normal people. Even long-lived elves like us may only encounter a few major choices and events in our lives. Unlike the apostles, however, each of their missions could reach a major turning point, emitting an unparalleled radiance of life.

Some apostles with extraordinary talent would only need to undergo more than ten missions to possess the wisdom and experience of the wisest elven elders of the elven race. Not to mention you, even I am just a toddler in front of them. ”

Malfoy gently rubbed Edeline’s head. “Also, remember that what attributes and auras the apostles possess have nothing to do with us. Just as we do with the apostles, so do they with the intelligent races. The apostles who give up this principle, however brilliant their fighting ability, will not go far in the shattered starry sky.”

“The apostles also have an iron rule towards intelligent races?” Adrienne widened her beautiful blue eyes curiously.

“Of course, didn’t you notice? In wars, there are very few apostle teams that attack the intelligent races. They only deal with the apostle teams hired by the enemy and destroy their defenses. They don’t directly slaughter the native intelligent creatures that shatter the starry sky.” Malfoy said bitterly.

“The shrewd apostles knew very well that they were inseparable from intelligent beings that shattered the starry sky. Only with fertile soil would they be able to taste the sweet fruits forever. Only with equal value would there be more business coming to them. Fishing in the swamp would only make all intelligent races look upon them as enemies!”
