Enshrouded in the bluish light, Mason and Fred flew out of the hotel and rushed to the edge of the town where the elven guards were.
Suddenly, dark red flames erupted from the ground and dashed into the sky like a volcanic eruption, blocking Mason and Fred's way.
"Matvey, what are you doing?" Mason stopped his flight in time and avoided the flames and smoke. He glared at the tall, slender man who stopped him — Matvey, "Fury of Earth", a level-seven Knight.
Matvey had a short buzz cut, and his dark green hair looked like seawater that was full of seaweed. He looked at Mason and Fred and said unhurriedly, "Have you forgotten that flying is forbidden in the town?"
The prohibition was not achieved by magic circles, but by the "town defenders" made of several powerful Knights. After the chaos and bloodshed at the beginning of the development of the Town of the Anonymous, under the desperate desire for order and the secret support of the elves, the several Knights who had been visiting the town for a long time began to form an alliance to establish order in the town, to restrain the killings among themselves and to maintain the peace of the town.
Matvey, on the other hand, was one of the "town defenders".
"What's the point of forbidding flying under such circumstances?" As fellow Knights, Fred and Mason were not scared of Matvey, but they were worried that they would be attacked by the elves. "We just want to be investigated by the elves? Are you going to stop everything? "
Mason and Fred were more or less wary of Matvey, because the weirdness they sensed came from him and his companions!
Matvey and his companions did not do anything weird. They simply expressed their desperation, pain, and anxiety after the first attack of the demon army, believing that the legends of the Elven Court and the Elder Council of Druids could not guard the abyssal gap, because as the gap gradually expanded, the Will of Abyss might arrive directly. Therefore, staying in the Town of the Anonymous was nothing but waiting for death, and there would be absolutely no chance for them to escape.
Under their influence, the anxiety, desperation, and pain quickly spread among the crowd. Since it was a normal reaction, Mason and Fred didn't suspect anything. They just instinctively didn't want to get in touch with Matvey and the others. It seemed that the more they got in touch with them, the more depressed, painful, and struggling they would be, and the more they couldn't control their emotions.
"We also need to be interrogated by the elves and sorcerers, but we're not in a hurry, and we didn't violate the rules of the town." Matvey's green eyes were calm, "Mason, Fred, you should know that the more anxious we are, the more we need order. Only by establishing a firm and strict order can we ensure our own safety. Therefore, I won't give you any special privileges just because you're a Knight. Please follow me to the Maintainer's Cabin to receive your punishment."
Mason had to admit that what Mattway said was very reasonable. However, the strange feeling of oppression still lingered in his heart, preventing him from moving a single step. So did Fred.
Matvey raised his right hand. "Mason, Fred, do you want to resist? Against seven heavenly Knights, against high elves, and against legendary experts? "
The adventurers on the street all slowed down and became cautious, as if they had sensed the imminent danger.
… …
To the east of 'Nature's Residence', there was a forest that was so dense that it looked dark green.
"Ms. Martha lives here. She's one of the representatives of Nature's Abhorrence. Don't piss her off. If she offends you in any way, I'll apologize on her behalf." Iristine, who was wearing a long dress made of green leaves, spoke to Jurisian, Felipe, Heidi, and Annick who were next to her.
Because there were still quite a few directions to be investigated, the sorcerers were still working separately. However, Heidi thought that Sprint's modification on Annick yesterday barely worked. So, she rearranged the team and decided to introduce Annick to more elven friends. She and Katrina had become good friends with the elf Nodanielle, and they were in a good relationship with many elves.
Because Martha was the strongest of the elves that needed to be investigated, Jurisian and Felipe, who didn't get along well with each other, worked together.
Jurisian smiled politely. "It's alright. Every life has their own ideology. It's not a big deal as long as it doesn't actually harm us."
Even the princess of the elves had apologized in advance. What else could he say?
With his hands in the pockets of his long black coat, Felipe nodded slightly, but he looked beyond the trees into the distance. There was no telling what was on his mind, as if he had learned a lot from the communication with the elves and the investigation of Nature's Residence yesterday.
Heidi was more or less distracted by the two councilors. She said to Annick in the telepathic bond, "After we finish investigating Ms. Martha, I'll take you to the elves' 'Nature's Ball'."
"D-Ball … I … I don't know how to dance." Annick was so shocked that he stammered.
Heidi glared at him. "Who can dance when they're born? Well, the elves seem to … We're not asking you to date elves. Making more friends and seeing more things will help you to be more cheerful. I don't want my good friend to suffer from serious mental diseases because of arcana and magic studies. "
She was also very familiar with Rachel, who lived next door, and knew a lot about psychological issues.
Annick wanted to say that he was very happy to study arcana and magic, and every problem he solved was much more satisfying than dancing and making friends. However, he was also a man who valued his friends. Seeing that Heidi, Layria, Sprint and Katrina were worried about his shyness and introversion, he had slightly changed his mind. After all, he would still focus on arcana and magic when he went back, and so would Heidi and the rest of them.
Like a deer in the forest, Iristine shuttled in the forest agilely. Soon, under her lead, Jurisian, Heidi and the rest of them saw a dark green treehouse without decorations. On the ground below the treehouse, a dozen elves were being taught how to dance.
Martha was a famous musician and dancer among the elves.
In front of the dozen elves stood a night elf whose hair was tied up. Her dark green skin exuded a weird beauty. Her temperament and appearance were rather mature, like a fruit that had reached the sweetest season.
"Bend back a little more … This pain is nothing. Do you feel the pain of forests being cut down by human beings? Do you feel the pain of forests being turned into deserts? "Martha was very strict when she taught. She fully demonstrated her nature as a member of Nature's Abhorrence.
"This dance is called the Dance of Vengeance. Every movement has a unique meaning. It expresses the wrath of nature. You have to understand the feelings deeply in order to dance the dance well. For example, in this movement, you have to think of the extinct animals. They have completely disappeared from this world because of human beings' greed. Their fur, flesh and bones are useful to human beings …"
"Because of selfishness, human beings hurt nature blatantly. One day, nature will burst out its fury and purge all the sins …"
Hearing Martha's teaching, Jurisian frowned and thought to himself, "Such words and such a dance are very similar to special summoning rituals. As long as they are convinced that 'nature's vengeance' exists in the end, the desired effect will be achieved … But why are the elves of Nature's Balance more corrupted than the elves? Why is Martha still teaching the Dance of Vengeance when she knows that the Congress has sent someone to help with the investigation? Does she think that this method is very discreet and we can't find it out, or is it really not her? "
Iristine stepped forward and said, "Ms. Martha, sorry to disturb you. A few guests would like to ask you some questions."
Martha had long noticed that Felipe and the rest of them were approaching, but she deliberately ignored them. It was not until Iristine spoke that she finally bowed with a pale face and said, "Her Royal Highness, I don't want human beings with dirty minds to set foot in my place. I don't know what I can answer either."
"My lady, we only want to know where you learned the Dance of Vengeance." Jurisian was not angry. Instead, he asked very calmly.
Martha snorted, "I was inspired by the destruction of nature by human beings. I rearranged the ritual movements that I found in the ancient classics. It's my own creation. Are you satisfied with my answer? "
"What ancient classics?" Felipe asked the core of the question directly.
Martha sneered, "Aren't sorcerers supposed to be knowledgeable? Can't you see it? 'Werewolf Moon Ritual', 'Book of Rituals' … "
She named a series of books. It was obvious that what she said earlier was not nonsense.
After asking a few more questions, Martha asked them to leave. "My patience has run out. I don't want to answer your questions anymore. If you want to blame everything on me, feel free to do so."
After that, she returned to the cabin and continued teaching the Dance of Vengeance.
Walking back in silence for a while, Iristine said again, "I apologize to you on behalf of Ms. Martha …"
"Wait a moment." Felipe interrupted her. "I want to search Martha's treehouse and the nearby area."
"Why?" Asked Iristine in surprise.
Felipe said coldly, "Are we going to believe whatever she says?"
Jurisian nodded with a smile. With this guy's help, he did not have to worry about the things that were inconvenient to say.
Iristine struggled and hesitated. It was a big deal to search the treehouse of a 'Staff Bearer'.
… …
The bloody dust was flying in midair, blocking the direct sunlight. The clean and refreshing environment under 'Eternal Blaze' was filled with curses and toxins again.
Lucien's spiritual power spread out. Together with the power of the projection of his demiplane, the environment was half illusionary and half real, making it impossible for the curses and toxins to infiltrate. Natasha, who was wearing the silver armor, did not emit any brilliance, but the curses and toxins were broken and killed the moment they approached her without any exception.
"Any results?" Malfurion asked Lucien. Before him was a mirror with complicated patterns. He was performing 'Mirror of Fate' to determine the source of 'space fusion'.
Lucien placed the crystal ball in his left hand at the center of the Mirror of Fate. The picture was immediately clear. The crystal ball glowed, and the stars were connected into a straight line.
"In that direction." Lucien said to Natasha and Malfurion. "The source is really here?"
