General Angelie was the highest-ranking general who led the expeditionary army to the Dark Moon hundreds of years ago. Now that the expeditionary army had thrived in the Dark Moon for hundreds of years and built a city, then General Angelie should also be the manager of this city. At least, she was an important figure that could be found in the council hall. Since the lifespan of the elves in this world could reach hundreds or even thousands of years, General Angelie was still very young when she disappeared, so everyone believed that she was still alive.
We asked the Iron Knight trio to tie the three horses that were useless from beginning to end to the side. Then, the group of people came to the front of the big house called the council hall. As expected, we were stopped by the guards at the door. The guards at the door were two young elf warriors. I judged that they should be born in the Dark Moon after the end of the war. Seeing the familiar attire on them, Joseph couldn't help but whisper, "It's so familiar. Why is the equipment used by the knights still the same as hundreds of years ago?"
"It's good enough that it's the same and hasn't regressed." I muttered, "Think about the lost teleportation station technology, how many things on the ground haven't regressed?"
"What are you doing?" The guard of the council hall stood straight and asked in a loud voice. However, he didn't have any arrogant attitude. He was just fulfilling his duty as a gatekeeper to keep us, a group of strange-looking "civilians", out of the door.
"Son of an official, go!" I patted Joe's shoulder from behind, "Just say that you are here to find your mother."
Joe was stunned. He took two steps forward and wanted to speak, but he quickly retreated, "Can I say that? My mother hasn't seen me for hundreds of years. She doesn't even know what I look like now! "
I slapped my forehead. The intelligence of this timid elf brother has plummeted. Fortunately, he didn't really do what I said as a joke. At this time, the two elf warriors guarding the door were getting more and more confused about us. I guessed that if it wasn't for the fact that the Dark Moon only had one city of people on the ground, and there wouldn't be any rioters among the citizens, these two little warriors should have drawn their swords.
"We are looking for General Angelie!" In the end, Anna's brain was in a normal state. She stepped forward and said loudly.
"General Angelica?" The two elven warriors exchanged glances. One of them snapped out of his daze and chuckled at Anna. "Oh, you're looking for Overlord Angelia? It's been years since anyone mentioned the term 'General Angelia'. Those who are used to it are basically those who have lived for centuries. Why are you looking for Sir Lord? "
"Is it an important military report?" Joseph asked in a serious tone.
"Intelligence report?" The Elven Warrior said in surprise, then laughed involuntarily, "Don't joke around. What kind of military intelligence could there be in a city above ground? Who are you going to fight? "
The above city had been developing peacefully in the Dark Moon for hundreds of years. After the warriors who came for the expedition against the demons discovered the truth here, they had no reason to continue fighting with the Dark Moon people, so this city was now in an absolutely neutral state. Joseph's "military report" reason was really terrible. He scratched the back of his head awkwardly and discussed with the two guards. "Can't I report military intelligence? Then wait a minute, I'll make up another reason … Little Anna, can you help me think about what we should say to get in? "
The two elven guards were dumbfounded. The one who spoke first couldn't help but say, "… Citizens, if you are too bored, go to the tavern and sit for a while. If you continue to make trouble in this council hall, I'm afraid we will have to expel you."
"The 3 of you are really unreliable." Icetis watched coldly for a while, and she finally couldn't help sighing. She came to the 2 guards, "Isn't the teleportation portal about to open? Many people want to return to the ground. Can we represent some people to submit the petition? "
"Why didn't you say this earlier?" The guard spread out his hand. "But we can't let you in. There have been too many similar people in the past 2 days. The lord is having a headache about this matter. You don't look like the old people back then. Why are you … Hey, what are you doing! "
Before the elven guard could finish his sentence, Icetis impatiently walked straight to the door. This female rogue always believed in the creed of "I'm just being polite when I discuss with you. Whatever I want to do is always an option". So, in fact, it didn't matter to her how the two guards answered. The elven guards realized that the arrogant domineering woman in front of them was trying to force her way into the council hall. Finally, they were stunned and put their hands on the longsword at their waist. "Stop! This is the council hall! If you take another step forward, you'll be trespassing! "
Icetis had already put her hand on the door. She stopped when she heard the elven guards. Then, when the two elven guards breathed a sigh of relief, she opened the door and said, "Well, yes, I'm trespassing. What's the point of competing?"
"Guards! Someone is trespassing! " The elven guards shouted loudly, and then the two of them rushed towards Bryndis at the same time. But they were stopped in mid-air before they could finish their movement. Their time was slightly frozen. However, these two guards would not be injured. After all, they were just doing their duty. It would be fine as long as they stopped them.
The commotion at the entrance had attracted the attention of all the guards in the conference hall. A large number of patrolling soldiers started to gather in our direction. Qian Qian didn't bother to identify them one by one, so she activated her Time Stop Aura. Anyone who got close to us would be hit by her Time Stop Aura. It didn't take long for a scene like this to unfold around us: a small group of people had brazenly barged into the conference hall, and squads of patrolling soldiers were blocking us from all directions. The closer they got to the "invaders", the slower they moved. In the end, they were like a group of frozen statues a dozen meters away from the entrance. A third of them were even leaping in the air, glaring at us …
Since we were already here, and the person we were going to meet was Charle's mother, we didn't have to worry about keeping a low profile. We followed behind Icetis. The three Iron Knights stared at the strange scene around them with their mouths agape. It wasn't until we subconsciously pulled them into the building that they finally reacted. Joseph immediately jumped up and said, "Hey, is it appropriate for us to just barge in like this?!"
"What's inappropriate about it?" Icetis flipped her hair and pointed at the elven boy who was equally shocked and uneasy. "You can just ask him to beg his mother to pardon you."
Joseph's mind was in a mess. He put on a long face and said, "What if General Angelica doesn't want to recognize us? Charle hasn't seen her for hundreds of years. If the general thinks that we are making fun of her son, she might be more decisive. "
"Oh, that's true." Icetis suddenly stopped and looked at Charle curiously. "Elf boy, do you have any relics that can be used to recognize your family? For example, the milk bottle that your mother used to feed you or the diapers that you used back then … "
The moment the female pervert opened her mouth, Charle instantly choked and couldn't speak. He thought for a moment and suddenly spread his hands in frustration. "I really don't have any. Everything in the house has been sold. Mother might not even remember the few trinkets that I carry with me. I didn't think that much when I came here. Mother won't recognize me, right?"
"You will get yourself killed sooner or later!" Joseph jumped up and pointed at Charle's nose. "How old were you when your mother left? Now that you're 1.8 meters tall, you're going to tell General Angelica that you're her son. Would you believe it if it were you? "
"Not necessarily," Lin Xue interrupted as if she wanted to see the world in chaos. "Back then, I even had a daughter who was as tall as me. Didn't I believe it later?"
"This has nothing to do with you." I pulled Da Xiaojie behind me and looked at the surrounding situation. We had already passed through the main door and a short corridor. Behind us was a long line of soldiers that were either standing still or gradually standing still. In front of us was a large hall. On both sides of the hall, there were a few startled clerks. They stood up from their desks and were puzzled as to why a group of uninvited guests suddenly barged in.
"Let's look for the lord of this place." Icetis pushed Charle forward. "Give her a son."
Joseph finally realized that he was following a team that had no plan at all. They were running around randomly, and they might just throw up their hands and leave at any time. He sighed in resignation. He took out a pen and paper from his clothes and trembled as he prepared to write his will. After holding the pen for a long time, he looked at Anna and asked, "Anna, how do I write my will?"
At that moment, a flurry of footsteps came from the spiral staircase not far from us.
The footsteps were hurried. It sounded like a group of people rushing down the staircase. We looked towards the direction of the footsteps and a few seconds later, we saw a female elf in civilian clothes leading a group of people who looked like the town council at the top of the staircase.
The female elf was wearing a very simple light green dress. Her light blonde hair was tied up into a bun at the back of her head. She wasn't too tall, but she had a rather oppressive aura as she stood there. She didn't look too young, but she was still beautiful. Under such circumstances, seeing a female elf surrounded by the councilors of the town, the identity of the elf was obvious.
Charle's body trembled as though he was struck by lightning. He walked forward as though he was sleepwalking. Two more squads of soldiers came out from the small doors on both sides of the hall. When they saw Charle's movement, they immediately rushed forward. "Capture him!"
However, Charle seemed to be completely unaware of the movement around him. He just walked forward as though there was no one around him. Shallow Shallow had no choice but to expand the power of Time Stop a little. As Charle continued to move forward, a bunch of floating "sculptures" appeared in the air on both sides of him …
The female elf who was suspected to be General Angelie frowned slightly when she saw such a strange scene. She seemed to be confused, but she remained calm and walked down the stairs slowly. Finally, she set her eyes on Charle who was already in front of her. There was a little curiosity in her eyes, but slowly, something else appeared in her eyes: a little familiarity, followed by disbelief.
"Mother!" Charle bowed down deeply.
Without a doubt, that was really the most famous heroine of the elves. General Angelie who led the expeditionary army to the Dark Moon during the Fifth Dark Moon War hundreds of years ago, but in the end, she went missing along with 50,000 soldiers. She was still alive.
"You …" General Angelie, who had become the lord of the city, looked at the young elf in front of her in disbelief. After hundreds of years of separation, the latter was almost like a stranger to her. However, as a mother, that almost instinctive sense of kinship could not be defeated by mere time. "Charle? What are you doing here?! "
"This kid misses his mom, so we sent him up to meet you," Icetis said loudly while pointing outside. "Angelie, right? Can you let the soldiers outside quiet down first? The outside of the house is almost turning into a wax museum. If this goes on, I'm afraid we have to stop half of the city. "
"You are?" General Angelie looked at the group of strangers in the long hall in surprise. She came down after hearing the commotion outside and the report of someone breaking into the council hall. As a result, she saw the bizarre scene of Time Stop as soon as she came down. Coupled with the sudden appearance of a young elf who seemed to be her son, this almost legendary heroine was a little confused.
"Mother, they are my friends," Charle quickly explained. "Without their help, I wouldn't have been able to come here at all. Err … We used some forceful means when we came in. It's a little chaotic outside. Should you remove the alarm first? "
Although she was still a little unclear about the situation, General Angelie immediately nodded and instructed the people beside her, "Inform the guards to return to their posts."
"Look, what we were worried about at the beginning is useless," Lin Xue tilted her head slightly and said softly to me, "Mother and son are connected. There is nothing more accurate than a mother's intuition. Not to mention that General Angelie knows what Charle looked like when he was a child, I have never seen Xiaoxue before, but didn't I also recognize my child at first glance? You have taken the word 'mother' too lightly. "
Just as I was about to be moved by the greatness of a mother's love, I suddenly reacted, "Move aside! You saw it with your prophecy!"
Shallow shallow removed the Time Stop spell. The soldiers who were frozen in time didn't know what happened and continued to shout and pounce forward to stop the intruders. General Angelie definitely hadn't seen anyone who could control time, so she initially thought that her orders were being ignored. However, the commotion quickly ended. The patrolling soldiers who had cleared up the misunderstanding accepted the order and left one after another. Charle stood beside his mother with a face full of excitement. General Angelie wanted to greet us a few times, but she wasn't willing to take her eyes off her son, whom she had suddenly reunited with. We understood that. Icetis greeted the mother and son from afar, "You two should greet each other first. Elf boy, explain the situation to your mother. We will go to the side to rest for a while."
Joseph shouted from behind, "Charle, don't forget to ask your mother to pardon us!"
He had been a soldier for fifteen years, so he wasn't confident that he could barge into the meeting hall.
General Angelie finally turned around and spoke to us outsiders, "Guests, please wait in the lounge at the side. I have many questions to ask you." Then, she turned around and grabbed Charle's hand and started nagging.
The staff members in the conference hall were basically all confused, but the superior's orders were still effective. Under the guidance of a young dwarf girl, we arrived at the elven style lounge. That dwarf girl looked to be slightly shorter than Pandora, and her hands and feet were nimble and unusually clever. She seemed to be the staff member in charge of serving tea and pouring water in the conference hall. She was bewildered as she led the way for us. She was also bewildered as she prepared tea and snacks for the guests. In the end, she couldn't help but run to me. "Are you here to introduce godsons and goddaughters to important people? Are you still accepting people? "
I replied, "… That's for real! We come from the ground! "
The dwarf girl let out a disappointed "Oh," and only reacted after a while. "Ah! You came from the ground?! "
"Why are the people in this world so unique?" Icetis waved the tea girl away as she muttered. Visca beckoned the dwarf girl over and said, "Sit here."
The dwarf girl was in a difficult position, "But you are guests …"
"I told you to sit, so sit!" Visca glared at her and patted the empty seat between her and Pandora. When the dwarf girl finally sat down, trembling, the two of them leaned back in their chairs and let out a sigh of relief. The two of them were trying to find their psychological balance! I knew that they spent a whole day in the dwarf and gnome districts of the City of Shadows …
We waited in the lounge, bored out of our minds. We didn't know how long Charle and his long-lost mother were going to talk. Shallow Shallow squatted by the wall and studied the otherworldly style stove. As she molded the flames inside into different shapes, she sighed, "Even if we don't find out anything today, we have done a good deed, right, Ah Jun?"
"What do you want to find out?" Joseph seemed to have been holding this question in for a long time. "I have a feeling that you have some ulterior motives for coming here. What are you trying to do?"
"Get rid of the word ulterior. We are here to save the world." I leaned back in my chair and stretched. "You have known us for so long. Have you ever seen us do anything bad?"
Joseph thought for a while and said the truth, "I have only known you for a few days."
He really doesn't know how to cooperate!
At that moment, the lounge door was pushed open from the outside. Charle and General Angelica appeared at the door. The process of mother and son reuniting with each other was rather quick.
I could tell that the two of them were still agitated. Even the mature-looking General Angelica's eyes were a little red. The mother and son definitely had a lot to say. However, General Angelica still spared some of her precious time for the guest.
"I have already found out from Charle how you came here. I have to thank you." General Angelica quickly adjusted her expression and looked at me with a faint smile. "You are Chen Jun, right? What a strange name … Sorry, it's not an offense. I just can't tell which country this name is from. I have left my homeland for hundreds of years and I don't know what the world above is like now. So, I have a lot of things to ask you. "
"We also have a lot of things to ask you," Icetis said meaningfully. "You should know more than others about the Dark Moon War, especially about the four people."
As expected, Angelia's expression changed.
