PFC Chapter 1492 Inquiry and Surprise
Chapter 1492 Inquiry and Surprise
While in silence, both Old Gary and other strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance couldn't help but look down at their own bony palms, with a myriad of thoughts in their minds.
They naturally knew what Loris and Sina were worried about. Although they did not need the nourishment of forbidden power and were not true undead, outsiders did not know all this.
If they cause Lei Xiao, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, or the Desert Alliance's trade to be disrupted, their reputation to plummet, or even they create unnecessary enemies, it will undoubtedly be a series of extremely troublesome things.
Thinking of this in his heart, Old Gary couldn't help but sigh heavily.
It is no exaggeration to say that even he himself was extremely distressed by this half-dead appearance.
If their existence will bring trouble or even danger to Lei Xiao and others, then is there really a need for them to stay here?
"Old leader, and everyone from the Broken Valley Alliance, you don't have to underestimate yourselves."
Lei Xiao held onto Old Gary's bony palm, smiled slightly and said, "Admittedly, I do share the concerns of the two leaders, but as long as the appearance issue is resolved, won't everything be solved?"
"Your Majesty, are you saying that you can restore us to our normal state?"
Hearing this, the blue light in Old Gary's eye sockets sparkled, and he asked hurriedly, while the other strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance all had the same look and came over one after another.
Not only Old Gary and the others, but even Loris and Sina had expressions of disbelief.
According to common sense, strong people who have appeared in the world through containers can indeed transform into normal appearances, but that is based on the premise that the container and the body do not conflict. For example, the ancient dark elves or the cold flame kings, whether it is the unpolished containers in the ancient mines or the Lion King Palace, are actually the same way.
The situation of Old Gary and others is extremely special. They directly merged the two into one, which resulted in the inability to restore the original appearance due to the mutual repulsion of energy, at least that is not the common sense of everyone.
"Yes, I heard a friend mention this before, but that friend is currently in the human territory and cannot come for some reason, so I need to go back and confirm the specific method."
Lei Xiao responded with a faint smile.
The friend that Lei Xiao was talking about was none other than the Pelican Princess Fei'er. When they were discussing how to leave Glowing City, the latter had mentioned this matter.
It is said that an ancient human city once adopted a similar method in order to avoid being turned into a land of undead by liches. Although the specific process was different from that of Old Gary and others, the result was the same as that of the city becoming like a undead.
In the end, with the efforts of the Silver Fire King at the time, several of the human race's top chosen sons successfully found a way to allow everyone to transform into their original appearance like other container owners.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
After getting Lei Xiao's affirmation, it goes without saying how excited Old Gary and others were, and Loris and Sina also couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"If that's the case, then the Rainforest Fortress Alliance has nothing to worry about."
Loris scratched his lion head, looked at Old Gary and the others awkwardly, and said with a chuckle: "I'm sorry, everyone. I was a little abrupt just now."
"The same is true for the Desert Alliance."
Xi Na also nodded and said, "If there is any offense, please forgive me."
"That's wrong. If I were in your shoes, I would do something similar."
Old Gary waved his hand and said calmly, "We have been asleep for a long time. I hope you will bear with us in the future."
After that, Old Gary looked at Lei Xiao again and thanked him again: "Your Majesty, it is undoubtedly our greatest honor to be able to meet your Majesty!"
"You are too polite, old leader. We just fought side by side and left our backs to each other. Compared with this profound friendship, what I did is insignificant."
Lei Xiao's expression was gentle and he nodded slightly.
The reason why Lei Xiao helped us so much was, on the one hand, because the strong men of Duan Gu Alliance really helped us to a great extent to tip the scales of victory, and we naturally had to return the favor.
As for the other hand, there is the extremely impressive combat power of the Duan Gu Alliance. There are 30 legions of Duan Gu Alliance soldiers here, and there is a total of 1 legion of strong men above level five. If this force can stand behind them, these costs will be insignificant.
Afterwards, Lei Xiao discussed with everyone some matters regarding rebuilding the Broken Valley Alliance, and the work of cleaning up the battlefield was also ongoing.
Although we didn't find much spoils in the Skeleton Hall just now, these liches have a lot of good things on them, and the equipment left behind by the undead naturally cannot be left behind.
Just when everyone dispersed again to clean up the battlefield, the pink hooded man, accompanied by Qiduo and others, staggered out of the Ice Stone City.
Judging from the trace of grease still on the corner of his mouth, he had obviously just had a big meal.
"Human boy, thank you for your hospitality. I haven't had cake and ice cream for a long time, and they taste great!"
The petite forest elf who no longer covered her face looked extremely satisfied. She patted her belly and nodded, saying, "This is the happiest day I've had in decades!"
"It is my honor to satisfy your Excellency."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and responded with a smile: "If you have nothing to do, you may stay here for a while. I will always entertain you."
"You kid, you just want an extra bodyguard, right?"
The pink hooded man crossed his arms. Although he showed a little desire for food, he finally shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, no, I have been trapped here for so long, and there is still an important thing that I haven't completed. This is why I passed through this place."
Hearing the other party's refusal, Lei Xiao felt a little regretful, but a hint of curiosity emerged on his face.
This guy is a powerful forest elf who stands at the top of all races. His strength and background are quite impressive. He should have a certain status in the tribe. Why would such a strong man come to the territory of a third-rate force?
"By the way, aren't you the emperor of the human race? Speaking of what I want to do, maybe you can help me!"
The pink hooded man's eyes lit up and he blurted out something.
"So, what you did is related to the human race's territory?"
When Lei Xiao heard the voice, his face became even more curious, and there was a bit of surprise.
"Yes, I want to ask you about someone. She should be leading her people to settle down in the human territory."
The pink hooded man nodded slightly and asked, "Human boy, have you ever heard of the name Jiang Xi? Even if you don't know her, do you know the Yuebai tribe? Oh, they are all half-elves! They are forest half-elves!"
After hearing the other party's words, Lei Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.
Whether it was the Jiang Xi or the Yuebai clan, he was naturally very familiar with them. They were the most loyal subordinates and submissive tribes under his command!
"Even you don't know? After all, Jiang Xi escaped with his people at that time, so it's normal for him to live in seclusion."
The pink hooded man obviously didn't understand Lei Xiao's expression. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it. At worst, I can go look for it myself. There is something I must hand over to her personally."
"Sir, I don't think it's necessary to go to such trouble."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and told the other party that Jiang Xi was his most important and capable subordinate, and the same was true for the Yuebai clan, who had also made many outstanding contributions.
The other party didn't seem to be hostile, and considering that they had fought side by side before, there was no need for Lei Xiao to hide anything.
"Human boy, you actually took my apprentice and the entire tribe under your command?"
The pink hooded man opened his starry eyes wide with a look of disbelief.
"What? Jiang Xi is actually your disciple?"
This time, it was Lei Xiao who was surprised.
Thinking about it carefully, this guy and Jiang Xi are both rare space magicians, and one is a forest elf and the other is a forest half-elf. There is indeed some connection between them, but I didn't expect the connection to be so close.
No wonder I always felt that this guy's magic was familiar, it turns out that it is the root of Jiang Li's magic.
Having said that, this guy looks extremely young, much younger than Jiang Xi who exudes a mature charm. It is really hard to imagine that Jiang Xi is actually this guy's apprentice.
However, the elves are famous for their long lifespan, much longer than that of half-elves, not to mention humans. Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense.
"Yes, I am indeed Jiang Xi's master, but I am an incompetent master."
The pink hooded man's starry eyes dimmed, and he said in a low voice: "Human boy, since you are Jiang Li's master, you should know what happened to Jiang Li, right?"
"Of course I won't forget it."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and his expression became serious.
Back then, Jiang Xi and the Yuebai tribe were originally affiliated with a certain forest elf tribe. However, one day they were backstabbed by the latter, forcing Jiang Xi to do his best to flee his original home with the remaining tribesmen. After traveling to many places, they finally arrived at the human territory.
"To most elves, half-elves are a symbol of uncleanliness and shame, even worse than slaves. After all, the elves are at the top of all races, while humans are..."
The pink hooded man didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.
She coughed lightly, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Human boy, I don't mean to look down on you. After all, not all elves think this way, just like me. Otherwise, I would not have accepted Jiang Xi as my apprentice."
"Especially after I met you, I was surprised to find that the human race is not as weak as we imagined. At least it is strong enough to survive in the outer regions."
After hearing the other party's words, Lei Xiao waved his hand and smiled, "Your Excellency does not need to explain. For the current human race, the elves are still unattainable, but this still cannot stop us from moving forward. The human race once stood at the top of all races in the Silver Moon Era, and perhaps we will be able to reach this point in the future."
"I didn't expect your ambitions to be so high. I am really impressed by your ambitions."
Although it was just out of politeness, the man in the pink hood still praised Lei Xiao.
Then, the pink hooded man's eyes became blurred, and he was obviously lost in his memories.
"Back then, I was extremely shocked when I learned that Jiang Xi and the Yuebai tribe were attacked. Although the forest elf kingdom I belonged to was not the one that attacked Jiang Xi and had no right to interfere with the other party's decision, Jiang Xi was my apprentice after all, and the Yuebai tribe members were also very kind to me, so I rushed to the scene as soon as possible, but in the end I only saw a burning ruin."
"I had no choice but to find ways to express my dissatisfaction to the other party, but my kingdom has a close relationship with the other party, so naturally I would not fall out with them for this reason. In the end, I had to let it go."
"But I didn't give up. After a series of investigations, I finally found out that Gracilaria was still alive."
"However, just when I was about to set out to look for her, a huge change happened within my clan, and even my family was implicated. I had no choice but to slow down my journey."
"During this period, I never gave up investigating Jiang Xi's whereabouts. It was not until a hundred years ago that I unexpectedly received a letter from Jiang Xi, and I learned that he finally settled in the human territory."
"Jiang Xi said this in the letter just to reassure me, so she didn't leave a specific address and told me not to come looking for her. But although Jiang Xi and I are master and disciple, we are more like sisters. How can I really let her face all this alone?"
"So, after settling everything in the tribe, I embarked on a journey to the human territory. I didn't expect to be trapped here for such a long time, until I met you in the gap between the spaces."
After listening to the other party's detailed explanation, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Through the words of the pink hooded man and Jiang Li's previous description, we can already guess what happened.
The time when Jiang Li sent the message to the other party should be the period before he was preparing to advance to the sixth level. However, he failed to be promoted in the end and lost contact with the other party. It was not until later that he conquered the Yuebai clan and finally made Jiang Li return through the Tears of the Elves.
"Don't worry, sir. Jiang Xi is doing well now and is in the process of advancing to the sixth level, so he cannot meet you for the time being."
After sorting everything out in his mind, Lei Xiao nodded to the man in the pink hood.
"After all this talk, it seems I'll have to stay here with you for a while."
The pink hooded man curled his lips, then put his hands on his hips and said, "Well, after all, the food here is so delicious, and you haven't returned the carpet and other things you owe me yet!"
Although he looked extremely reluctant, Lei Xiao could still clearly see that the other person's fair face was filled with joy. It was obvious that he had not expected Jiang Xi to be here with him.
"Human boy, did Jiang Xi humiliate my reputation? After all, I am a space expert who inherited the magic of ancient elves!"
The pink hooded man puffed out his chest in delight.
Just when Lei Xiao was about to respond, an unexpected message came. (End of this chapter)
