No one reacted when they heard that the enemy commander had been captured. Even White Flame's tone was lazy. "Another captive?"
Y 'zaks said with his arms crossed. "Probably no different from the ones we have captured before."
Everyone was indifferent about the capture of the demon hunters, and there was a reason for that.
At first, Lanina had spent a lot of effort to capture a master demon hunter. At that time, everyone was looking forward to the captive, hoping to get some valuable information out of him. But soon, their enthusiasm faded because they found that the captured demon hunters from the battlefield were in a strange state, and they could not get any meaningful information out of them.
The demon-hunter warrior who came to report was obviously aware of that as well. His expression was rather subtle, but he still emphasized, "We've caught a high-ranking commander this time, and Master Fanny believes that it's necessary to have the elders and the leaders personally take a look."
White Flame frowned. Elder Gregowen nodded gently. "Bring him in. Let's see which 'old friend' it is."
The orderly took the order and retreated. After a while, a tall and thin male captive was escorted by several elven mages.
The tall and thin male demon hunter was wearing the iconic battle robe of the Council of Elders. His clothes were tattered from the battle, but his face was masculine and masculine. His angular face was full of anger, and his dark brown curly hair was plastered to his forehead by blood and sweat, which made him look even more disheveled. There were circles of elven runes wrapped around the captive's body. These runes were constantly extracting the captive's energy to strengthen the shackles. But even under the restraint of such a powerful curse, the tall, thin man didn't seem dispirited at all. Instead, he was constantly sizing up the people around him with extreme hostility.
This warrior was obviously very powerful, which could be seen from the guards around him. The elven mages were the super high-ranking soldiers under Y 'zaks. They were the kind of people who were treasures wherever they went. If one of them was missing, they would be heartbroken. After the battle, they would be frozen in the freezer. But this time, there were three mages guarding a captive. It was extraordinary treatment.
White Flame was stunned when she saw the tall, thin man. She then exclaimed in surprise, "Claude?"
"You know this person?" Hao Ren asked in a low voice.
White Flame nodded gently and said in a low voice, "Claude and I are the same age. Do you know that I'm known as the top genius among the younger generation of demon hunters? "
When she said the second half of her sentence, there was not a trace of pride on her face. She was simply stating the facts. As one of the best among her peers, she did not regard her talent as something to be proud of, but she did not shy away from mentioning her excellence in front of others.
Hao Ren nodded. White Flame continued, "In fact, there are two geniuses in our generation, and the other one is him. Claude was older than me, and his understanding of runes and affinity were stronger than any ordinary demon hunter. Later, I left Coldfrost Citadel with my mentor, and Claude took over his father's position in the Council of Elders. As the Council of Elders was a hermit group, Claude was rarely active in the outside world. The otherworldling families probably didn't know about him. He used to be a very peaceful guy. I didn't expect to see him again under such circumstances. "
The demon hunter called Claude immediately turned his head when he heard White Flame's voice. His face was full of resentment and hostility. "White Flame! I should have known that you're just a heretic! "
"Claude, you …" White Flame frowned. "Do you really know what you're doing? How did the Council of Elders become like this? "
"The duty of the Council of Elders is to purify the heretics!" Claude said righteously. His eyes were burning. Just like the demon hunters of the Council of Elders, there was no confusion in his eyes, and there was no sign of his mind being affected. However, his words and deeds were extreme and unreasonable. "You guys who are active outside the sacred land are all filthy and should be purified!"
"Since when is everyone other than the Council of Elders a heretic?" Elder Gregowen asked with an indifferent expression. His voice sounded unusually calm. "What do you want to do?"
In the face of an elder's question, Claude's attitude did not change at all. His answers were always the same, nothing more than 'heretics', 'purification', 'monsters' and so on. But in any case, his mind was always clear, and his words and actions seemed to come from his heart. It was as if this had been his worldview since he was a child.
In fact, the other demon hunters of the Council of Elders who were captured were in the same situation.
This was why they were so indifferent when they heard that a commander of the Council of Elders had been captured alive. The reason was not that the commander was too tight-lipped or had lost his mind to communicate, but because of their strange state. All the demon hunters of the Council of Elders had in their minds was to purify the heretics and kill the otherworldlings. They were very sober, so sober that they knew nothing except for these two things. The MDT had also used technical means to check the mental state of the captured captives, but in the end, it was determined that their minds were normal. How could you "wake up" a group of people who had not lost their minds?
After asking a few questions, Elder Gregowen shook his head in disappointment, indicating that this one was no different from the previous ones. Vivian, on the other hand, stepped forward with the mentality of one last try. She looked into Claude's eyes and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Claude was a little confused when he heard Vivian's voice. Then he stared at her for a moment and suddenly did something that no one expected: the calm and rational demon hunter suddenly became furious. His eyes were bloodshot as if he had seen his father's murderer. He screamed and lunged at Vivian. "Heretic! Heretic! Kill her! Kill her ah ah ah!! "
Claude's sudden attack surprised everyone. Even Vivian herself almost did not react. Fortunately, Hao Ren had been guarding against this strange demon hunter from the Council of Elders. He stood between the two of them and kicked the demon hunter back. The three elven magi beside Claude activated their punishment runes in an instant. The runic chains crackled with electricity and he was pinned to the ground, unable to move.
Even under such circumstances, Claude still roared at Vivian. "Kill you! Kill you! Kill you! Kill you! "
The demon hunter of the Council of Elders seemed to have gone mad. His eyes were red as if they were bleeding, and the veins on his face were bulging. It was a frightening sight. Lily immediately turned to White Flame and asked, "How was your relationship?"
White Flame was stunned. "We just knew each other. We were not in the same battle group, so we didn't have much interaction. Why do you ask —"
"Oh, that's good." Lily nodded before White Flame could finish. She then took a brick out of nowhere and swung it at Claude's head. "That way, I won't feel any pressure!"
With a loud bang, Claude was knocked out by Lily.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the inexplicable guy passed out. Vivian patted her chest and asked, "Did I provoke him?"
"Strictly speaking, you have provoked every demon hunter. After all, you have beaten up most of their ancestors. But I don't think that's the reason." Hao Ren rubbed his chin and looked at Claude thoughtfully. "I'm afraid the change in the temperament of the Council of Elders has something to do with you."
"Me?" Vivian pointed at herself. "Didn't I catch other demon hunters before? Even when I stood in front of them, they didn't have such a big reaction. "
Hao Ren was puzzled. He looked at Gregowen and asked, "Elder, do you know what makes Claude different from the others?"
Elder Gregowen had already guessed what Hao Ren was going to ask. His expression was solemn. "He is the attendant and herald of the first sage."
"The first sage? The one who has been cooped up in the house for thousands of years, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive? "Hao Ren's eyes widened." Is he still alive? "
"There have always been all kinds of rumors," Elder Gregowen spread his hands helplessly. "But we never thought that any sage would leave us. The first sage has not shown up for many years, but he still gives us some instructions from time to time through his herald. "
"That is to say, Claude knows the real situation of the first sage," Y 'zaks, who had been silent all this while, suddenly broke the silence. He looked at the young demon hunter who had passed out on the ground and nodded to the three elven magisters. "Take him back and keep a close eye on him. Once he says anything, report to me immediately."
