Inside Nature's Residence.
Seeing that Iristine and the other sorcerers had returned, Martha said coldly, "I don't know what else I can say. If you suspect that there's something wrong with me, please report it to Her Majesty and the Chief Elder. They can decide whether to arrest and interrogate me or not. But before that, please stay away from me. The stink in your soul makes me sick!"
Felipe and Jurisian looked at Iristine calmly, as if they did not hear Martha's words.
Iristine took a deep breath and summoned her courage. She said with a pale face, "Ms. Martha, the sorcerers think that you're suspicious, so they want to search your house and the tree bag on you …"
"What? They think I'm suspicious, so they want to search me? " Martha interrupted Iristine's words and asked in a sharp voice. This was the complete opposite of what she had said before. Amidst the shock, anger was brewing like a volcanic eruption.
The elves who were taught by her were also surprised. At the same time, the accumulated disgust and disgust made them feel the same way.
Iristine hurriedly added, "Mother has agreed to their request."
"What?" Martha took a step back, and the elves next to her were also stunned. Did Her Majesty agree to the unreasonable request of human beings?
After saying this, Iristine finally felt relieved. She spoke more fluently, "Ms. Martha, I hope you can understand. The elvish tree is the foundation of our survival. Every elf wants to find the reason why the tree is contaminated as soon as possible and restore it to normal. During the process, there are bound to be wrong judgments and directions. It's inevitable. If any elf is wronged because of this, I apologize in advance. But we won't stop the investigation. If we can't search this place and ask that person, it'll be hard for us to go further. "
She put all the blame on the Elven Royal Family and herself. She did not mention anything about the sorcerers or the humans. Although her tone was soft, it was sonorous and powerful, showing the demeanor of a leader.
The experience during this period of time had given her the most abundant experience since she was born.
The elves who were learning to dance nodded slightly. No matter what, the elvish tree was the most important thing. Although they were angry and resentful, stopping the investigation was no different than risking their own lives! He just had to be careful not to let those damned humans wrongly accuse any elves.
They looked at Heidi, Annick, Alferris and the other sorcerers with even more hatred, as if they were blaming them for everything.
The dark green skin on Martha's face made it hard for people to see the change in her expression. After nearly a minute, when everyone thought that she had acquiesced to the search, she suddenly said, "I don't accept such slander. Her Majesty must have been deceived by these dirty human sorcerers!"
"This is an attack on my character and soul. I swear that I will not retreat even if I die!"
Her resolute opposition made the other elves rather surprised. If she really believed that she was innocent, it wouldn't be too late to protest to Her Majesty the Queen, the Great Elder, and Her Royal Highness when they couldn't find anything. However, such an intense reaction now made them suspect that there was indeed something wrong with her. This wasn't a good time to throw a tantrum.
"Ms. Marsha, if you are worried that the mages will forge evidence to slander you, we can supervise the whole process. I believe that the divine spells that nature has given us are definitely not inferior to magic." A female elf tried to persuade her. She thought that Marsha refused the search because of this concern.
Another male elf also comforted her cooperatively, "Even if they forge evidence, we can easily prove that your character is innocent, because this is about the pollution of the elvish tree. It will be very clear if the black spots are obviously removed or not."
Heidi glanced at Annick and then nodded to Jurisian. They confirmed each other's opinion. Marsha was indeed suspicious, but she was too obvious.
Hearing the persuasion of the other elves, Marsha seemed to be calmed down a bit. She said coldly, "You can go in and search. If you can't find anything, I won't accept your apology. I only hope that you can leave the forest in shame."
Felipe put his hands in his pockets, his tall and thin body did not sway at all. He walked towards the tree house as if he was taking a stroll. Step by step, the air in front of him seemed to have turned into stairs that led him directly to the tree house. The other elves also followed him, fearing that he would make evidence against Marsha.
Jurisian, Heidi and Annick did not want to provoke the elves. Together with Iristine and Marsha, they flew into the tree house.
The tree house was not big, but it was clean and tidy. The fragrance of trees and flowers filled the air. Except for books, musical instruments and picture albums, Marsha's room only had a simple hammock made of leaves and some small ornaments made of withered petals, odd-shaped stones and falling leaves.
Under the command of Jurisian, Annick and the other sorcerers searched every corner of the two tree houses with magic. Among them, Alferris, the crystal dragon, was the most active one. It walked among the elves like a puppy and looked around with its bright eyes, as if it was trying to remember all the shiny objects in its mind and never forget them. From time to time, it would reach out its claws to pick up the objects and "check" them, unwilling to put them down for a long time.
At this time, Felipe found a notebook from the books and started to read.
"These are notes about music and dancing. Can you understand them?" Marsha was not in a good mood. She said in a sarcastic tone.
Hearing the word "music", Felipe's right hand slightly shook. Then he said coldly, "Don't worry. I'm not as bad as you think."
"Really? Are you using a dead body's thigh bone as a flute or a rib as a seven-stringed zither? "Marsha mocked without any hesitation. In the communication with some elves yesterday, Felipe did not hide his identity as a necromancer.
Felipe turned a deaf ear to Martha's mockery and continued reading. After a long time, Jurisian, Annick, Heidi, and Alferris finished searching other places. They shook their heads one after another, indicating that they found nothing.
Felipe raised his head. There was no expression on his sick face at all. "Ms. Marsha, I just want to ask you one thing. When you were recording the Dance of Vengeance, why did you add a sentence that preached the hatred of nature and the abomination of human beings next to every movement, as if it was a necessary ritual language?"
Hearing Felipe's words, Jurisian, Heidi and the rest of the sorcerers' eyes lit up. They sensed something, but soon they slightly frowned, as if they felt that it was too easy.
Marsha explained with a gloomy expression, "This is to explain the essentials of every movement. And what does it have to do with the ritual?"
"If it's the essentials, with your ability as a dancer, you only need to write down the corresponding emotions. There's no need to make it look like a speech or an oath." Felipe was not happy at all.
When the other elves were about to defend Marsha, Felipe suddenly took out a book, "This is a special ritual for summoning demons. You can take a look and see if it's similar."
Iristine looked at the book and saw a few obvious words on it: Viken's Special Summoning Ritual.
"Humph, you're well prepared." Marsha looked out of the house and sneered at the book.
The other elves took over the Special Summoning Ritual in confusion and started to read it.
When they read a few pages, Marsha suddenly took a step back and walked to the edge of the treehouse. Then she threw out the wooden staff in her hand, and it quickly grew into a two-meter-tall dark green monster.
At the same time, black insects suddenly appeared around her, and each of them was shining with mysterious light. Like a dark cloud, they flew towards Felipe, Jurisian, Iristine and Alferris.
Sky Full of Insects was a level-seven divine spell of druids. It was composed of many magic creatures that could cause itching, numbness and distraction. Once a sorcerer was entangled by these insects, his casting would be interrupted frequently. Even the spells that had been engraved in his soul would be greatly reduced. It was a great weapon for druids to deal with spellcasters.
The other elves were shocked. They felt that the attack was too sudden, but Jurisian and the other elves had been prepared for it.
Alferris murmured in its mind, "I'm not a frog. I don't eat insects." At the same time, it raised its head and roared. The pressure of a top-level creature spread out, and the insects in the sky were slightly frozen.
Then, a dark shadow appeared near the treehouse, and everything was slightly twisted.
Under the effect of the powerful magnetic field, the magic insects that were still made of materials were all pulled away.
Martha flew back, and the trees around her all came to life. Treemen that were several meters tall waved their branches that were glowing with light green light and surrounded the treehouse from all directions.
"You're slandering me! I'm going to ask Ferragond for help!" Martha said loudly on purpose.
Felipe's hands were still in his pockets, and dark smoke appeared around him and spread out like water waves.
The moment the dark green monster that the cane turned into touched the water waves, it lost its luster and became much dimmer. The treemen that came to Martha's side all fell to the ground, as if they had lost all their strength.
It was the seventh-circle Necromancy spell, Withering Wave!
Jurisian, Heidi, Annick and the other sorcerers around Felipe were not affected by the black smoke, which meant that Felipe's control over this seventh-circle spell had reached an amazing level. For most senior-rank sorcerers, Withering Wave could not distinguish friend from foe.
Heidi said to Annick through the telepathic bond, "Use the ritual that you prepared. Don't let Martha escape!"
Heidi did not have the money to afford such a ritual anymore, but Annick was a guy with a lot of savings, so she made one for him.
…
In the Town of the Anonymous.
There seemed to be a powerful source of electricity in the shadows. Streaks of electricity were visible to the naked eye, and the sizzling sound made people tremble with fear.
Mason, the Azure Dragon, found that his vision was blurred. He knew that he had reached his limit and could only hold on with his willpower.
Suddenly, the gentle sunlight shone on his body, making him relax. The electric sparks disappeared.
"Who is it?" Mason asked in a hoarse voice.
A gentle voice came, "I'm Atlant from the Congress of Magic. Don't worry. Nobody can hurt you as long as I'm here."
Mason was really relaxed, and his whole body returned to normal.
Half an hour later, above the Town of the Anonymous, Atlant said to Lankshear, Selinda and Lawndale, "It's confirmed that Matvey and the other senior-rank elves were all involved in this. They tried to summon the real Abomination by taking advantage of the situation in the Town of the Anonymous. Unfortunately, they all self-detonated under the stimulation of the Abomination's projection, so we don't know who's behind this."
"It was Ferragond's proposal to block the Town of the Anonymous." Said Lankshear gloomily.
Selinda also nodded. "Those elves are all from Nature's Abhorrence. They're very close to Matvey and the rest of them."
Lawndale said in shock and suspicion, "Is it really Ferragond? But why exactly?"
"He's the leader of Nature's Abhorrence. That's probably the reason! No, whether or not he's suspicious, I have to return to Nature's Residence immediately in case anything goes wrong! "Said Lankshear in a hurry." I'll leave this place to you. "
Atlant closed his eyes too. "I'll return to Nature's Residence too. We cannot let Jurisian and the rest of them be in danger."
The elven queen was suppressing the pollution of the elvish tree with all her strength. It was not a problem for her to deal with regular elves, but she might not be able to use one-tenth of her strength when faced with Ferragond, Nature's Avenger.
"Alright. We'll guard the gap and wait for the return of the elder and Mr. Evans." Lawndale agreed quickly.
Neither he nor Selinda were elves. It was indeed inappropriate for them to get involved in the affairs of elves. So, they were more than happy to stay here.
… …
Felipe raised his right hand, and a transparent ghost suddenly appeared behind Martha. Its lower body was empty, and its upper body was covered in a black robe. It shuttled between the main material world and the World of Souls, holding Martha back with all kinds of necromancy spells.
It was a new spell named 'Summon the Dead' that the Hand of Paleness developed after years of research on the World of Souls. It could summon a ghost that was similar to a Voidwalker. It could travel between the two worlds and was very difficult to be targeted and killed.
Caught off guard, Martha was trapped by the senior-rank ghost. Jurisian, on the other hand, took out a ruby that made Alferris's eyes glitter. Then, a ray of pure light was shot out so fast that there was no time for anybody to react.
The ray hit Martha directly and offset her defensive divine power.
Annick quickly prepared the ritual to summon the demiplane with preset gestures, and Heidi patiently waited for a chance to intervene in the battle. At this moment, she saw that Felipe raised his right hand again, and his wrist was broken. The hand flew out and grabbed Martha's face.
Then, countless weird veins grew out of the broken hand and trapped Martha tightly.
When Martha was about to fight for her life, an angry voice echoed in the sky, "Damn human beings, how dare you start a battle in Nature's Residence?"
"Mr. Ferragond, they slandered me for summoning demons!" Martha stopped resisting and shouted miserably.
