"It's you?!"
Olli was a little surprised to see an elf walk out of the ruins.
Marvin also looked over, and soon after, a surprised expression appeared on his face … he actually knew this guy as well!
This was an unkempt, unkempt elf who held a worn-out iron sword in his hand.
He looked very handsome, but his clothes and shoes looked like they hadn't been washed in years.
He walked out of the ruins, his whole body filled with a kind of relaxed aura, and his smile also made people feel very warm.
However, all the Elven Iron Guards acted as if they were facing a great enemy!
"Your Highness Ibu! This is not a place you should set foot in! "
Hearing his teasing, Olli's face turned red, and immediately became very serious. "You should stay in the Domain of the Stone Giants.
And not wander around the Thousand Leaf Forest! "
The elf called Ibu shrugged his shoulders. "I don't need you to remind me of my status as an exiled person."
"It's written on the waist tag …"
Ma Wen glanced at it. This fellow was indeed as unconventional as the rumors said. On the waist tag was written in crooked Elven language:
Exiled Ibu.
This was a very special exiled person. All the Elven Iron Guards would have a headache when they saw him!
This was because he was the only son of the Great Elven King Nicholas!
In other words, he was the son of the Elven King.
Thirty years ago, Ibu had angered the Great Elven King and was exiled. He had been staying in the Domain of the Stone Giants near the Thousand Leaf Forest, playing hide-and-seek with those boring rocks.
However, this fellow was not someone who would stay put. He would often barge into the Thousand Leaf Forest without permission, and no one knew what he wanted to do.
Ma Wen curiously looked at Ibu. This guy was very strong. Ma Wen had no idea when he arrived.
According to legend, Ibu was a very interesting guy. However, in the game, Ma Wen had only seen screenshots of him. The main reason was that Ibu was too elusive. Very few people could make friends with the exiled son of Elven King.
As for the reason for his exile, there were many different opinions. However, everyone was very clear that with the autocratic personality of the Great Elven King Nicholas, coupled with the rebellious and unruly style of doing things, there were probably a thousand reasons for Ibu's exile.
…
"People say that no Elf Iron Guard wants to meet you in the Forest of Thousand Leaves."
"Because the elves love your father, but they have no choice but to escort you back to the Domain of the Stone Giants in this situation."
"But … as your former fiancée, I feel that I am the one who feels the most ashamed."
Olli bit her lip, and her words were very calm. "When will you grow up a little? Prince Ibu? "
"Why do you always act as you please like a child? Why do you jump out and cause trouble when I am on a mission? "
The rest of the Elf Iron Guard chose to stay silent. Although the Forest of Thousand Leaves was very big, the elves were only that small. Everyone knew all kinds of gossip.
Ibu and Olli had once been engaged. The Great Elven King had personally witnessed the engagement ceremony. However, due to some inexplicable reasons, the engagement was called off. Then, there was news that Ibu had been exiled.
The other elves did not dare to interrupt when the two of them spoke.
Hearing that, Ibu became slightly more serious. "Perhaps we look at things from a different perspective."
"I have no interest in messing up your mission. In fact, if it were not for the intrusion of the Red Road Exile with the Knowledge Compass, I would still be basking in the sun in the Domain of the Stone Giants!"
"This village is the place where the Red Road Exile chose to advance. Can't you tell?"
Red Road Exile?
Hearing that term, Olli's expression immediately changed!
Her first reaction was to look at Ma Wen …
"Idiot!" Ibu could not help but say. "This child is only at the sixth level. The Red Road Exile clearly has nothing to do with him."
This child …
The corners of Ma Wen's mouth twitched. So, he was being addressed like that?
Although he was quite young, it felt strange to be addressed like that.
"However, to be able to kill a Red Road Exile who has yet to advance at the sixth level, he is very powerful."
Ibu looked at Ma Wen with interest. "Ranger? Hmm? What a strange level 2 profession … I can't see it … "
Ma Wen could not be bothered to play riddles with him. He took out his pass and a badge engraved with a Black Weary Bird.
"I'm a Nightwalker."
Ibu suddenly understood. Olli also reacted. She looked at Ma Wen apologetically. "Sorry, we almost got the real killer wrong …"
The Elven Iron Guard lowered their bows under her command.
It was an indisputable fact that the Nightwalkers had always been on good terms with the Wood Elves. Moreover, Ma Wen was indeed only at the sixth level. He could not have killed these people.
…
"So, you've already killed the real killer?" Olli noticed that Black Jack was burning the corpse behind Ma Wen.
Ma Wen nodded.
He quickly walked to the pile and pulled out his jade dagger from Black Jack's corpse.
The [Terrible Glove] could block fire, so he was not afraid of being burned.
Olli took a deep breath. She looked around at the innocent people who had died and showed a trace of pity.
"If that's the case, let's bury them first …"
However, her words were mercilessly interrupted by Ibu. "Do you have any common sense?"
"The Red Road Exiles never act alone! This guy is obviously preparing to advance. He still needs a guide! It was that guide who led me to the Thousand Leaves Forest! "
"The situation is very dangerous now … Forget it, you won't understand it even if I explain it to you. All you need to know is that a real Red Road Exile — probably with the strength of a quasi-legendary — used a special item to hide from my stubborn father's senses and entered the Thousand Leaves Forest."
"Even the Elven Iron Guard would be in danger if they met this guy, let alone ordinary villagers."
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Ibu walked over with a serious expression and stared at Ma Wen. "When you arrived, did you see anyone else?"
Ma Wen thought for a while and finally shook his head.
When he arrived, he only saw Black Jack alone. He did not know much about the Red Road Exiles, so he did not know about the guide.
…
"I understand now!" Although Olli was repeatedly humiliated by Ibu, her temper was surprisingly good and she had been enduring it.
"This matter must be reported to Great Elven King immediately."
Olli decisively pointed out four Elven Iron Guards and asked them to return to the Elven Capital as soon as possible and report the matter of the Red Road Exile to Nicholas.
Then, she left two people behind and ordered them to escort Prince Ibu back to the Domain of the Stone Giants. After all, this guy was a sinner who had been exiled.
The others followed her and quickly searched the nearby area.
After hearing Ollie's arrangement, Ibu revealed a 'I knew you would be like this' look and sat down on the ground loosely.
However, Ma Wen said, "Wait!"
He brought out the young elf who had been hidden.
"He is the only surviving child in this village. What are you going to do with him?"
Ma Wen asked in a low voice.
The young elf seemed to be a little numb. He looked at everyone with eyes full of fear.
Just a few hours ago, he was still looking at Marvin with a pair of lively eyes, saying that he wanted to see the world.
A few hours later, the pair of eyes had already become vacant and painful.
Before he had time to see the wonders of the world, the ferocious world had taken the initiative to bare its fangs at him.
Ma Wen sympathized with his experience.
But he had no right to decide the fate of this young man. After all, he was an elf.
Olli looked at the poor young man and said, "Let him go to the City of Elves. We will make good arrangements for him. "
The City of Elves?
Ma Wen shook his head in his heart.
Such an ordinary young man, with such a bizarre and bloody experience, could he find his place and belonging in the City of Elves? Ma Wen was doubtful.
But Olli had already made a decision, and Ma Wen had no right to interfere.
So he came to the young man's side and solemnly handed him the emerald dagger.
At the same time, he wrapped the dagger with a piece of cloth.
"I used this dagger to avenge the elves in your village."
"This dagger has the blood of your enemy. Take it. "
Then he winked at the bewildered young man.
The young man numbly took it, but carefully hid it close to his body. He even forgot to say thank you.
Ma Wen looked at the back of the Elven Iron Guard leaving with the young man and sighed in his heart.
It was not that he was reluctant to give away the emerald dagger. After all, he had plenty of weapons on hand. He was sighing about the fate of the young man.
"I hope that when he is lost and desperate, he can see a ray of light."
The dagger was not the most important thing. The cloth wrapped around it was the most important.
It was a map of the Thousand Leaf Forest and the surrounding area.
Very few wood elves could leave the Thousand Leaf Forest because the Great Elven King would not allow such a thing to happen.
But Ma Wen had a feeling that this young man might be different.
(The recommendation has fallen to fourth place. I need everyone's firepower support. Take the Dark Night up!)
