At least......
Xibel clenched the scroll in his hand.
It was all worth it for this, and all that was left was to escort the scroll back safely.
only......
Sibel looked towards Caroline's residence and subconsciously walked forward to knock on the door, but her arm froze in mid-air.
At this moment, Sibel hesitated.
She was hesitating whether to tell Caroline about the scroll about the power of the abyss.
For some reason, she always felt that her senior Caroline seemed to have a lot of opinions about her recently.
Although she didn't show it openly, she could still notice the subconscious revelations in his every move.
But Sibel couldn't understand why Caroline had such a big opinion of her.
Now that the Elf Forest has encountered such a disaster, shouldn't everyone work together to overcome it?
Because of Caroline's attitude, Sibel became hesitant.
But after hesitating for a moment, Sibel still knocked on the door.
No matter what, Caroline is a part of the Elf Forest. At least this is a matter concerning the survival of the Elf Forest, so the other party shouldn't be in any trouble.
What's more, she was willing to make concessions for the ancient elven tree.
There were knocks on the door but no response came from the room.
Caroline isn't in the room?
This also made Xibel stunned, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Given Caroline's personality, or more precisely, most elves would not be willing to "play" in human cities.
In addition, judging from Caroline's performance when facing Morning Star, it seems that she doesn't seem to be willing to enjoy herself in this city.
If you are not going out for fun, and you are not in your room at this time, what else can you do?
Is there something important? So you choose to... hide it from yourself...
Thinking of this, Xibel slowly lowered his head, and his expression became even darker.
At the same time, Caroline, whom she was looking for, was looking at Claire, whose identity had just been "exposed", with great seriousness.
A half-elf with elven blood actually appeared in a human city.
This sudden change also made Caroline frown.
The Forest of Elves has always maintained a closed-door policy, which has even lasted for hundreds of years.
Elves have a way of recognizing approximate ages, so Caroline could tell that Claire in front of her was only about twenty years old.
This doesn't match up at all with the seclusion of the Elf Forest.
Under the seal maintained by the Elf Queen, it is impossible for an elf to escape privately, unless...
Caroline's eyes widened visibly, as if she had thought of something.
Theoretically speaking, there is only one elf who has the chance to leave the Elf Forest and give birth to a child with a human during these hundreds of years.
The current Queen of the Elf, Finalia Sahira.
"Are you half-elf?"
Caroline pretended to be calm as she looked at the "cowherd" in front of her and cautiously tested him.
On the way here, Caroline had done some research and found out that Morningstar, the current king of the Grullit Kingdom, did not have a good relationship with the underground organizations in the country, and there was not even any intersection between them.
Not to mention that Morning Star relied on the Red-haired Demon to kill most of the ministers who had close ties with the underground organization.
The relationship between the two parties should be incompatible. This can be used to judge that the gigolos in this gigolo club belonging to an underground organization are almost impossible to be arranged by Morning Star.
Besides, Morning Star was not a prophet, so how could he have guessed that an elf like her would come to a gigolo club?
Wasn’t it arranged by Morning Star in advance, just a coincidence?
"me......"
I have to say that as a human trafficker who has been struggling at the bottom of society for ten years, Claire's acting skills are truly impeccable.
It was difficult to find any flaws in his every move, and even Caroline immediately determined that it was most likely a coincidence.
"You should know my identity. What's your intention in approaching me so deliberately?"
Caroline questioned, and the sense of oppression as a superior also spread out instantly.
But for Claire, after so many years of wandering, how could she be defeated by such a little pressure?
It's just that the surface work still needs to be done.
If Chen Xing saw the action of sitting on the ground with weak legs for the first time, he would probably take it seriously.
As a half-elf, Claire knew very well how... twisted these elves' hearts were.
They just like this feeling of looking down on others and teasing them.
Just like that woman, the woman who is the queen of the elves.
She was high and mighty and enjoyed trampling on other races which she considered to be of inferior blood.
"I...I didn't, I didn't know the guest would be, would be..."
Claire was "panicked" and wanted to explain something, but she couldn't even utter a complete sentence because of her "rapid" breathing.
This cowardly look also made Caroline's guard disappear a lot.
Maybe I was just worrying too much. In the final analysis, it was because I was too nervous because of that damn Morning Star.
If this half-elf was really arranged by Morningstar, doesn't that mean Morningstar had thought about this day coming a long time ago?
We are just humans, how can we possibly do something that even gods cannot do?
"I ask, you answer. You know my identity, and you should also know...the consequences of lying!"
Caroline warned, narrowing her eyes.
She was also wondering if this half-elf was...
If the timing was correct, Caroline would still remember the strange behavior shown by the Elf Queen that time.
"Do you know who your parents are?"
"No, I don't know... I've never... never seen my parents since I can remember."
"You are... in your twenties?"
"Twenty... twenty-four, what... what happened, Master Elf?"
Hearing this, Caroline also began to estimate in her mind.
Twenty-four years ago, this half-elf was born?
Come to think of it, the day when Sahira showed signs of abnormality was also twenty-four years ago.
Is it really just a coincidence?
Caroline doesn't believe it!
Caroline was sure that there was a special relationship between this half-elf and Sahira, or even...
Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Caroline's eyes.
As long as we can confirm that the other party has the same blood as Sahira...
No! Even if the bloodlines are different, she has a way to make them the same.
This half-elf is simply a godsend!
Chapter 35: Incognito Visit
"Your Highness, Claire's plan went smoothly, but... according to the news Claire sent back, Caroline intends to take him back to the Elf Forest."
In Morning Star's room, Sheila was standing respectfully in front of Morning Star and reporting the news sent back by Claire.
So far, there seems to be no flaws in the plan, and Claire has temporarily gained Caroline's trust.
It's just that Sheila's tone just now...
But come to think of it, whether to Sheila or Agnes, Claire is like a guy who suddenly appeared. No one would easily trust such a human trafficker, right?
If Morningstar had not transformed the other party into a follower who would never betray him, he would probably have been a little worried, especially when Claire was about to be taken away.
After all, once they got to the Elf Forest, it would be a bit difficult for Claire to pass the message back.
From that time on, all actions over there will be decided by Claire alone.
Unfortunately, no if.
"Xi La, do you know what it means to trust people when you employ them, and not employ people you don't trust?"
Chenxing calmly tasted the tea prepared by Xila and reminded her with a smile.
The only thing about Claire is that even if Caroline tried her best, she would not be able to move her.
"what do you mean......"
"Don't worry, Sheila. There's no need to question Claire's loyalty. Compared to his situation, I'm more concerned about...how's the intelligence gathering of the resistance going?"
Chenxing smiled and skipped the topic of Claire.
The first step has been completed, and the rest depends on Claire herself.
In this regard, Chenxing believes him very much. After all, sometimes hatred is really the best motivation for a person.
Claire definitely wanted to see the moment when the Elf Forest was destroyed more than anyone else, not even Morning Star himself.
As for the connection being temporarily cut off...
Chenxing is not the kind of person who does things without leaving any room for retreat.
The scroll he gave to the elf princess had already been tampered with by Lilith.
"Regarding the resistance army... I'm sorry, Your Highness, they seem to have completely integrated into the kingdom. So far, nothing strange has been discovered."
Speaking of the rebels, a hint of guilt flashed in Xila's eyes.
His Highness had clearly given her such an important task, but she was unable to give His Highness the best answer.
It's just... such a shame!
Or maybe my practice is not enough. How can I share His Highness' worries if I continue like this?
"I don't blame you. If the resistance could be uprooted so easily..."
As Chen Xing spoke, he also recalled the original plot.
As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Unfortunately, the people are now leaning towards the rebels.
It is still difficult to catch the rebels under the cover of the people of the kingdom.
But Chenxing is not in a hurry. After all, the current situation is completely different from the original plot.
With Agnes around, he is always in the active position between him and the rebels.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Morningstar is completely helpless against the rebels.
If it wasn't before Ye Yue was caught, it might be a bit troublesome, but with Ye Yue as a hostage...
"The human heart is always the most vulnerable weakness of mankind..."
Chenxing put down the teacup and sneered.
"Your Highness, you mean..."
"Please help me pass on the message. Just say... I plan to execute the rebels I just captured in a few days..."
After Chenxing finished speaking, Xila nodded and quickly left to deal with the matter.
As His Highness's personal attendant, how could Xila not understand what His Highness meant?
Use Ye Yue as bait to lure the rebels into taking the bait.
But... there is still a question that Xila can't figure out.
