Fort Maxine was still peaceful. Sharpshooter Gao Bin's return was like a shot of adrenaline. The threat posed by the terrifying human lord was also reduced. Of course, they didn't understand the differences and conflicts between the higher-ups.
But Lydia understood, and she had made her choice. That was why she came to a simple straw hut early in the morning. She had thought for a long time yesterday, but she couldn't figure it out. She had to get to the bottom of this.
She opened the curtain and walked in. Gao Bin was standing in front of a mirror, carefully looking at himself.
Gao Bin had the right to stay in the best room, but he didn't like it and insisted on building a straw hut in a corner of Fort Maxine. Lydia tried to persuade Gao Bin that even if he disliked the elders, he didn't have to suffer. Some of the clan leaders also tried to persuade him, but Gao Bin was stubborn. No one could persuade him. In the end, Lydia gave up.
Gao Bin kept looking at the mirror and didn't respond to her. Lydia had to speak first. "Can't you shave your beard clean?"
"Is it not good?" Gao Bin's face was full of narcissism. "I feel like … I'm filled with the beauty of a male soul!"
Lydia was angry and amused at the same time. "You really are the same as before …"
"What's wrong with before? Disgusting? Or what? "Gao Bin said with a smile.
"How can you be an elf?!" Lydia smiled bitterly. Whether she liked him or not, she had to admit that Gao Bin was definitely an anomaly among elves.
"Alright, Lydia." Gao Bin reluctantly put down the mirror on the table and turned his gaze to Lydia. "I believe that you didn't come to me this early just to make fun of me. What's the matter?"
Lydia's expression became serious when they talked about business. She stared into Gao Bin's eyes and said slowly, "Why do you support them?"
"Support them? What did I support? "Gao Bin was shocked.
"Prudens wants to …"
"I know what you're talking about." Gao Bin cut her off. "But I didn't support them."
"But you didn't object either!"
"Not opposing means supporting?" Gao Bin laughed. "According to what you said, everyone in the world is either a friend or an enemy?"
"I've already talked to Blanche and the others. They've all expressed their support for you. But you … you'll disappoint them!"
Gao Bin was silent for a moment before he whispered, "Lydia, this is the art of struggle."
"Art? Is compromise a form of art? "Lydia said," Gao Bin, I never thought that you would back down from something! " Lydia was a little emotional because she was very disappointed. Before the joint meeting, she had been running around contacting all the tribe leaders. Her goal was to build a broad alliance to fight against the United Senate. Many of the tribe leaders had expressed their support, but Gao Bin did nothing during the meeting. He was almost silent the whole time, which made everyone's jaws drop.
"Retreat? Those fellows aren't worthy. " Gao Bin sighed. "The problem is … Lydia, if you push a dog too far, it will bite!"
"Then let them come!" Lydia's eyes were cold. Ever since Gao Bin left, she had been swallowing her anger, not because she was afraid, but because she didn't know what to do. Now that Gao Bin was back, she found her backbone and direction. There was no need to hide her edge anymore.
"You …" Gao Bin was a little helpless. He was silent for a moment before he said softly, "Alright, let's not talk about art. Let's talk about strategy. If I want to walk from here to the door, there are many ways. I can ignore everything and walk out in one breath. If the wind is too strong, I can take a step forward and then take half a step back to adjust my pace and recover my strength. Then, I can walk forward again. If there are traps in this house, then I have to be careful. It's best if I stick to the side and walk step by step. Anyway … as long as I can walk out, I will be the winner! Lydia, no matter what's in the house, whether it's wind or traps, I don't care. It's not bravery, it's stupidity. "
"I understand what you're saying," Lydia said slowly. Lydia said slowly, "But what we need right now is not a strategy but a powerful voice outside of the Council of Elders! Gao Bin, it's not that we don't have allies. In fact, we have a lot of allies. The Senate has always held all the power in their hands. The title of chief has become a meaningless title. As long as we get the support of the other chiefs and the support of the elves, we can even … "Lydia stopped abruptly. What she wanted to say was too rebellious.
"What can we do?" Gao Bin smiled.
Lydia gritted her teeth. She had nothing to hide in front of this guy anyway. "We can even take over the Senate!"
"Lydia, you've grown up. You're no longer the little fool who only knows how to fight." Gao Bin sighed. "It sounds like this is what you're thinking. I'll try my best to criticize the Senate during the joint meeting. Then you and the other chiefs will support me. Then we'll find a way to mobilize as many elves as possible and take over the Senate?"
"What's wrong with that?" Lydia retorted. If it was someone else who called her a little idiot, she would have already shot an arrow at them. But when it came to Gao Bin, she didn't lose her temper at all. Besides, she had been treated the same way before, so she was used to it.
"Yes, yes. But there's a small problem." Gao Bin smiled. "Let me give you another example. Let's say … I know you hate me and oppose me, but I suddenly hand you a sharp dagger. What does that mean?"
Lydia frowned and fell into deep thought.
"There's no need for the Senate to hold a joint meeting. Those things can be dealt with in an internal meeting. But they called all the chiefs here. Don't you know what they're trying to do?!"
Lydia suddenly realized that Gao Bin didn't have any power now. His influence and prestige were all based on his previous reputation. Gao Bin criticized the Senate during the joint meeting, but he didn't get any support. The chiefs suddenly turned against him and criticized Gao Bin together with all the other Senators. Gao Bin's reputation might be ruined. Thinking of this, Lydia felt a chill all over her body.
"You're saying … they set a trap for us?" Lydia asked doubtfully.
"How can there be such an obvious trap in this world?" Gao Bin smiled bitterly. "The honorable Great Elder Ampdur is warning me. This is also a threat. I should stay put, or I'll be asking for trouble."
Lydia's heart was filled with bitterness. She didn't expect that everything she carefully planned would be so childish in the eyes of Gao Bin and Ampdur. It seemed that the Senate had already noticed her actions, but they didn't care at all.
However, Lydia, the Magic Arrow, was just like Gao Bin. She was a different kind of elf. Her madness not only struck fear into the hearts of her enemies, but also her own kind. After being provoked, she did not back down. Instead, she hardened her heart and said, "So what? Prudence obtained the power of space from God's Mark, and your power is just enough to restrain him. Plus, I … "
If Great Elder Ampdur heard Lydia's words, he would be very distressed. He wasn't afraid of Lydia using her brain, but he was afraid of Lydia using her hands! In fact, Lydia had indeed persuaded some of the clan leaders, such as Blanche, but Updula never interfered or made any adjustments. He allowed the clan leaders to continue exercising their daily power and even spread anti-war opinions everywhere. In the end, it was because he was afraid that this madwoman would suddenly go berserk.
The overall strength of the elves was relatively strong, but there weren't many real superior-grade masters. Prudence was one, Gao Bin was another, and Lydia was definitely one. Compared to the other two, Lydia was the most admirable because she didn't rely on anyone. She relied on her own crazy and hard work to cultivate.
"I don't want to shed blood, no matter if it's ours or theirs." Gao Bin heaved a soft sigh. "If we make them bleed today because of our different ideals, then decades or centuries later, other elves may make us bleed because of our different ideals. This is a terrifying vicious cycle that will never end!" He did think of using a white knife to get in and a red knife to get out. Lydia was a lunatic in action, but he was a lunatic in the mind. There was nothing that he didn't dare to think about. His mind was filled with countless unimaginable things. However, he was an elf, and he knew what kind of crisis was hidden under the current situation. If possible, he really didn't want his own people to bleed.
"If we don't bleed now, we may bleed more in the future!" Lydia said word by word.
"Why do you say that?" Gao Bin asked with a puzzled face.
"When the hatred accumulates to the point where it can no longer be resolved, there are only two choices. Either we kill them all, or they kill us all."
"You mean that human lord named Raphael?"
"That's him!"
"I think … you think too highly of him." Gao Bin smiled. He thought that the elves were wrong because they shouldn't have dreamed of restoring the glory of the Elf Empire. As for the Holy Crown City, it didn't mean much from the perspective of the whole continent.
"Do you want to know what Sunier said about him?"
"What did she say?" Gao Bin asked with interest.
"She said that Raphael will become the most powerful professional on the continent sooner or later. His power can even surpass that of God!"
Gao Bin's expression was very strange. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Even you don't believe it? Haha … "Lydia said slowly." I feel more and more sympathy for Sunier now. Gao Bin, do you know? Although Ampudula raised her, because she is your sister, I care about her more than Ampudula. I pay attention to her all the time. Her strength and pride can't be conquered easily. Since she chose Raphael, I believe in her evaluation. "
"Surpassing God …" Gao Bin scratched his head helplessly. "This …"

Majordomo Gail rushed up the stairs with a gloomy face. He rudely knocked away a few slave warriors and rushed into the room. On the big bed on the south side, Yalina was lying quietly. Han Jin, who was still wearing his clothes, was sitting on the bed and staring blankly at Yalina. Guevara and Jeddes were also here. Majordomo Gail should be the last to get the news.
Majordomo Gail's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip. At this moment, he didn't hide his viciousness anymore. He walked step by step to Han Jin's back and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Lord Raphael, can you tell me what's going on?"
Han Jin was still staring blankly at Yalina, as if he couldn't hear Majordomo Gail's question at all.
Majordomo Gail couldn't control himself anymore. He grabbed Han Jin's shoulder and shouted, "Tell me, what's going on?!"
Guevara sighed. With Majordomo Gail's personality, if he didn't say anything or just went to comfort Han Jin, then there would be a big problem. Majordomo Gail's reaction proved that he still trusted Han Jin. Because of trust, he was disappointed and angry.
Majordomo Gail was suddenly stunned. He couldn't see anything from the back, but when he looked directly into Han Jin's eyes, he found that Han Jin's eyes had become extremely deep, like a bottomless abyss. Occasionally, there was a dazzling golden flash. His intuition told him that the young man in front of him had greatly improved his strength, but this didn't scare him. The muscles on his face began to twist again, and he opened his mouth again. At this moment, Guevara grabbed his arm.
"They were attacked. Raphael did his best," Guevara said softly. Guevara said softly, "Don't worry, Raphael has very powerful healing skills. Besides, Jedis is also here, so Yalina will be fine! Even if you don't believe in Raphael, you should at least believe in Jeddes, right? "
Majordomo Gail's gaze fell on Jeddes. Jeddes smiled but didn't say anything. The atmosphere was a bit tense. Jeddes should have made a promise, but he couldn't. A priest who could summon an angel only had one chance to resurrect a life, and he had already used it on himself. Jeddes would never lie to anyone, even if it was a kind one. He could only remain silent.
Majordomo Gail took a deep breath and then slowly let go of Han Jin. A trace of sadness flashed in Han Jin's eyes. He lowered his head and sat down on the bed again, staring at Yalina.
Majordomo Gail was also looking at Yalina. Unlike Han Jin, Majordomo Gail's eyes were full of sadness, pity, and self-blame. If he hadn't forced Yalina and Han Jin to go out together, this wouldn't have happened.
"Ahem …" Guevara coughed. "Raphael, what happened? Tell us in detail. With your strength … you shouldn't have been unable to protect Yalina. "
Han Jin turned a deaf ear, and his gaze never left Yalina.
Guevara was a bit helpless. In fact, he didn't want to ask, but he wanted to appease Majordomo Gail. However, ever since he saw Han Jin, Han Jin had been like this. No matter who spoke, he would ignore them. There was nothing Guevara could do. Guevara's eyes turned and fell on Harley. He said softly, "Harley!"
"Ah?" Harley had been standing there obediently. He didn't expect Guevara to suddenly call his name and was shocked.
"Come out with me, I have something to ask you," Guevara said.
"O … Okay," Harley looked at Han Jin timidly. Seeing that Han Jin didn't respond, he slowly floated away from the corner.
Majordomo Gail knew what Guevara wanted to ask, but he wanted to know what happened. He turned and followed Harley out. Jeddes also wanted to know. He reached out and patted Han Jin's shoulder. He sighed and walked outside, slowly closing the door.
"Harley, tell me the truth. What happened?" Guevara's face was very serious. Everyone knew Han Jin's true strength. If it were any of them, it would be very difficult for them to defeat the Blood Breed's ancestor, Alquete. Only Han Jin!
"The Dragon Race has joined the war!" Harley replied in a low voice.
"We all know that the Dragon Race has joined the war. How could Raphael not know? He must have a plan. How could he let Yalina … "
"That dragon is very powerful!"
"Only one giant dragon?" Guevara and Jeddes asked at the same time. This was even more impossible. To the Dragon Race, Han Jin was simply an executioner. They didn't know how many dragons he had killed. How could he be forced into such a situation?
"But … But that Colossal Dragon can release magic!" Harley said. "I've sensed two extremely terrifying magic waves!"
"Dragon Magic?" Guevara was shocked. "Do you know the name of that dragon?"
"I think it's called …" Harley became hesitant. When he saw Han Jin's grief and almost half crazy, he was scared silly. Later, when Han Jin asked him to get the dragon crystal, he mentioned it once, but he couldn't remember it in a hurry.
"What's it called?" Majordomo Gail was impatient.
"I think it's called … Maxwell."
The atmosphere suddenly became dead silent. Guevara and the other two opened their mouths and stared at Harley with their eyes wide open.
Harley was a little scared and shifted his position uneasily. "You … Why are you looking at me? I'm not that damned dragon! "
"I really can't imagine what kind of price the elves paid to invite Maxwell out." Guevara sighed and turned his gaze to Majordomo Gail. "In front of Maxwell … it's already very good! Raphael was able to escape with Yalina. It's already very good! " Guevara had an ulterior motive. He was blaming Majordomo Gail for being so agitated just now. What he meant was, if it were Majordomo Gail, would he be able to escape with Yalina?
"Escape? Haha … "Harley had been controlling his voice so as not to disturb his master who was in a bad mood, but when he heard such a superficial judgment, he finally got carried away." Why should we escape? "
Guevara and the other two were dumbfounded. After a long while, Jeddes said anxiously, "You mean … Maxwell, the Maxwell who mastered the Proverb Seal?"
"Seal? That's right, when I arrived, Master had already been sealed. However, Master had also released his magic. Caw caw … That Maxwell was lying there like a plucked old hen, caw caw caw … "Harley's reply was full of heroism. Comparing a dragon to an old hen was unprecedented.
"Raphael can still release magic when he's sealed?" Jeddes asked with great difficulty.
"Yes!"
The faces of Guevara and the others had turned pale. In fact, they should have been happy, but this news was even more shocking than killing Maxwell. They could not bring themselves to smile. This was simply a subversion of the highest law of the world! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
