Roland suddenly realized that this was what she was worried about?He said softly: "Unless you refuse, you will always be my forest knight. Do you still remember our oath, no matter poverty, wealth or illness, we will not be separated."
Melanies' cheeks turned red and she nodded vigorously.
Of course she does.
She was worried that she would no longer have anything to do with Roland after the Old Testament ended.
But she didn't know that she was already Roland's designated wife.
Like a small flying insect in a spider's web, she had no way to escape when she realized that she was surrounded by fallen webs.
Just when the atmosphere in the carriage was a little ambiguous, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Uncle Kaz, what's the matter?"
Roland asked loudly.
"Master, there is someone standing in the middle of the road, seemingly waiting for you."
This road is not spacious, but it is not so big that even one person and one car cannot pass at the same time.
Unless someone is standing in the middle of the road, waiting for him.
This way of blocking the road was a little rough, but it wasn't completely rude. It could only be said that it was directed at them.
Roland whispered: "Meilan, don't get out of the car yet. I'll go down and talk to the person coming. Even if the negotiation fails, there is still room for recovery."
Melanith nodded obediently.
Although she did not open the curtains, she could guess that the visitor was an elf from the Luojia Kingdom.
It would be more appropriate for Roland to come out to interview and find out what the deal was. She could also tell the truth if the talks fell through.
Roland lifted the door curtain and tapped his toes lightly on the ground. He was a little surprised by the appearance and identity of the blocker.
The shriveled, thin old man with droopy eyelids stood in the middle of the road, looking at him indifferently.
The old man was wearing simple gray clothes, with kind eyebrows, a gray beard, and a straight waist.
Looks like a well-educated...
A little old man from the human race?
Roland's eyes glanced at his ears, which were ordinary human ears, not even half-elves.
This is strange. How could there be such a strange old man in such a small place?
The little old man met Roland's gaze with a smile, and his kind voice was particularly pleasant, "Young human lord, if I'm not mistaken, the emblem you wear on your chest is the emblem of the Gracia family."
"The old man has good eyesight!" Roland responded calmly.
"It's not difficult to tell. The noble emblems of the human race are very distinctive. Your family emblem has a scale and a sword, which shows that your family has produced merchants and soldiers. The starry sky in the background should have been added after you were awarded the title of Viscount, which represents you. Received a significant investment from the Stargazing Society.”
"Coupled with the fact that Viscount Gracia has recently moved from the north to the south, your identity will be revealed."
Roland smiled.
The old guy is indeed very interesting. He seems to be a master of heraldry, but he actually wants to find something to do with him?
He took a few steps forward and came not far from the old man. He didn't see the identity badge on the old man's body and teased half-jokingly:
"Old man, since you know I am a noble, why did you stop me? You must understand that blocking a noble carriage without any reason is a serious offense."
"Indeed, the premise is that I must be a member of the human race."
The old man's somewhat cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.
Roland was slightly surprised and asked softly: "Human elf?"
"Lord Roland, you know a lot, which saves me the time of introduction. In order to facilitate walking in human territory, I chose to become fully human."
Humanizing into elves is a rare attempt by the stubborn elves to actively change.
Let non-combatants sacrifice a small amount of combat power, change their appearance into human beings, learn the human way of life, and sneak into the human race to obtain precious information for the elves.This is the humanized elf.
Humanization is not easy.
The change in appearance is only the smallest change, the more important thing is how to hide the identity of the elf.
Humans and elves are not enemies, but elves are never welcome to go deep inside to collect intelligence.
Once the humanized elves are discovered, they often end up miserable.
The old man does not deny his identity as a human elf, either to show his sincerity or to be confident that he can control everything.
"Old man, are you so confident that you can take control of the situation if the talks collapse?"
"Lord Roland is joking. Although I can barely beat you, old man, I can't silence you. What's more, you have the princess of my clan in your carriage."
The old man said with a smile: "Sorry, I am confused, I haven't had time to introduce myself yet. I am Huron, the librarian of Luojia Kingdom, and I specially invite you to study in my library."
"Lord Roland has a lot of knowledge that ordinary people cannot touch. He shouldn't refuse to read it, right?"
Roland was a little surprised. He originally thought the old man was coming for Melanies, but it turned out to be him?
"Why don't you directly invite Her Highness the Third Princess?"
"If I invite you, Your Highness Melanie will follow. If you invite Your Highness, she will have to discuss it with you. Old man, my time is precious and I don't want to waste it."
Chapter 025 The princess is graceful, but the one holding the staff behind her is the real hero
Roland narrowed his eyes and looked at Huron, but his heart was in turmoil.
Along the way south, he played the role of a follower, asking Melanies to come forward to recruit the elven tribe.
The elves are xenophobic, and it is difficult for them to recognize Roland's human identity. Even if they accept it, they will never easily follow Roland's arrangements and go north.
Who knows if the despicable human race has any conspiracy?Just because of his words, the entire clan moved to follow him?
This is obviously impossible.
But Melanis is different. Her noble bloodline is very useful when facing her tribe.Those tree elves surrendered on the spot as soon as they saw her outstanding and elegant temperament. After comparing it with the prophecy in the prophecy book, they immediately burst into tears and shouted, "The princess will take us home" and left.
What Roland couldn't do with his words, Melanies only had to smile and raise her scepter.
This is the difference between our own people and outsiders.
No one saw that he was the main messenger, except the Huron curator in front of him.
He was only slightly surprised, not panicked. It is normal for people who read the books to have different eyes.
When he saw a small forest on the roadside, he smiled and said, "Director Huron, I want to talk to you alone."
Huron made a gesture of invitation and walked towards the woods first.
Roland followed closely, holding the scepter tightly, feeling a little relieved.
With the World Tree Scepter in hand, he has the capital to protect himself even when facing a near-level five powerhouse.If Huron really took action, he would be able to resist with a little resistance and call Melanith for help.
You may not win, but you certainly won't lose.
He had to be cautious because Huron was so mysterious.
He could clearly sense Huron's strength, which was exactly the fifth level, no more and no less.This is the limit of what he can sense. If it were stronger, he wouldn't be able to sense it.
But the feeling was too clear, which made Roland feel uneasy.
Huron was at least two levels stronger than him. Even if he could sense it, it should be vague, not so clear.
Stopping in the woods, he saw Roland's vigilant expression from the corner of his eye and said with a smile:
"Don't be like this. It makes me sad. I heard that your library has many unique books. Just think of it as an exchange between two scholars."
"If you are willing, I sincerely invite you to come to my territory as a guest. My library is open to you free of charge."
When the old guy said this, Roland naturally would not refute, and even extended an invitation.
I sincerely invite you, will you come?
Director Huron showed a "surprised" expression and said with a smile: "This is my honor."
Roland narrowed his eyes. He really couldn't figure out the old guy's purpose.
In this case, let’s get straight to the point.
He spread his hands and said with a smile: "Director Huron, your time is very valuable, and so am I. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Young man, don't be too impatient. Before explaining your purpose, may I venture to ask, at the Silver Wing intersection ahead, will you choose to go north or south?"
To the north is back to the Viscounty of Gracia, and to the south is the Kingdom of Luojia.
Roland didn't want to answer this question. His expression gradually became serious and his voice became a little cold.
"Director Huron, you ask too many questions. If you are a human, you should not inquire about the nobles' itinerary, and if you are an elf, you should not inquire about the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness."
"I understand your anger, but the answer to this question is important to me."
"Neither north nor south, I plan to go all the way east and finally enjoy the scenery along the coastal road."
Roland said casually.
There is more than one way home, and the same is true for the way to Luojia Kingdom.
To continue eastward is to make no choice.
Seeing that the old guy wanted to ask more questions, Roland interrupted unceremoniously: "Director Huron, unless you answer my three questions, our conversation can be suspended."
"First, your true identity. Not hiding your identity is the prerequisite for candid conversations."
"Second, why do you think that Her Royal Highness is not the leader?"
"Third, the real purpose of your blocking the road."
"If you have any less answers, I will leave directly. Of course, your invitation to the library is still valid."
Roland looked at Huron with neither humility nor condescension, waiting for his answer.
Most of the elves are smart, but they are too arrogant and not cunning enough. However, the old guy in front of them is an alien.
He knew Roland's details very well, but Roland only knew his name.
This unequal conversation made Roland very uncomfortable and had to change.
Facing Roland's almost questioning tone, Huron was not angry at all. He still squinted his eyes and said with a smile:
"My true identity is the State Counselor, Library Director and ethnic elder of the Luojia Kingdom. You know, as long as you are old enough, an individual can be an elder. The State Counselor is also a fictitious position, so my main title is Library long."
Roland said nothing, trying to tell whether the old man was lying.
At least his body language didn't look like he was lying.
Huron took two steps closer and lowered his voice and said: "It is not difficult to see that you are the leader. I was present when Her Royal Highness conquered the three small tribes in the north. I was even the etiquette consultant of the Tricolor Deer tribe. You know Yes, if an elf is older, he can always make friends of the same race or a different race."
"I observed three ceremonies in the crowd. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess has an outstanding temperament and good manners, I could tell at that time that the entourage holding the scepter behind her was the one in charge."
Roland narrowed his eyes.
"Her Royal Highness is always secretly watching you."
Huron said softly: "If she is the person in charge, there is no reason to frequently use her peripheral vision to observe the expressions of those accompanying her."
Huron's reason was very good, and Roland could not refute it, so he just remained silent.
"My purpose is simple. I need a place where I can drink tea quietly and retire peacefully. You know, I'm too old and don't want to bother anymore."
Roland couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Huron, although age is a secret among the elves, you have said that you are old more than once. I am really curious, how old are you?"
Huron was lost in thought, and after a long time he slowly said: "According to human time measurement, I have lived for approximately 300 years."
Seven thousand three hundred years? !
Even among the long-lived elves, there are very few individuals whose life span exceeds 2000 years.
To be able to live for more than 7000 years, he is an extremely powerful person.
Just when Roland was in awe, Huron sighed softly: "I disappoint you, my strength is not strong. My age is beyond imagination, right? Don't be envious, it comes with strength."
Huron's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and his eyes became sharp.
"I was once the number one master in Luojia Kingdom!"
The light in his eyes quickly dimmed, "But that was in the past. I exchanged my strength for about 1 years of life. According to human standards, I am over 70 years old this year. An old man in his 70s longs for Isn’t retirement life too much?”
Chapter 026 The old thing is very bad, and so are you, the little thing.
