Chapter 858 Elf Attack

"Your Highness, we have received accusations about giant horned vipers attacking Tilea villages and towns, um... the source is Miraliangueno."

Imrik, who was chatting with Lao Mi at the beach, turned his sight to the herald North. After hearing the report of the incident clearly, he nonchalantly shifted his sight to the vast sea ahead.

"If the humans in Miraliangueno still think that the lizard men are war beasts raised by the Sotek sect, such incidents will never stop. It is an extremely boring test."

The herald did not express any thoughts. He defined himself at work as a tool, a tool for delivering messages and issuing orders to the prince.

"But those who attacked the villages were not lizardmen, but..." The herald didn't know how to explain it, and the news reported was also very unclear, so he could only speak in general terms,

"Elves."

"Do these humans think that the noble children of Caledor and the garrison will take action against their extremely poor rural areas? They actually spread the accusations to my ears."

I felt that the cause of this matter must be that the archdukes tried to test their bottom line through some means, but Imric raised his eyebrows and felt that it was not that simple.

Just when the herald thought that the prince was keeping aloof from the matter and was about to tell the next thing, Imrik asked in detail about the attack.

"Don't tell me who the attacker is. Those humans saw a pair of pointed ears and thought it was Caledor Azul."

"We don't know yet. According to the reports of human civilians who were attacked, these predators have no obvious characteristics in their clothing and are not interested in money. They only forcefully recruit young men and children."

The herald walked up to the prince and handed over a brand new parchment, "This is a detailed report."

After receiving the report, Imrik looked at it with concentration, which made Minasnir a little curious. He raised his head that was hanging on the ground drowsily, and read the tadpole-tiny text with his huge right eye. report.

The vague number, clothing, and characteristics did not result in any deaths, but the method of forcibly recruiting people was by no means gentle.

A total of five villages and towns were attacked, with a total population of 769 plundered, most of whom were men in their prime.

What always makes people feel bad is the oral accounts of bystanders. They vaguely imitate the two most frequent words of the predators in human language. In the Elvish translation, they are blood and sacrifice.

Imrik and Minasnir looked at each other and both felt that this was something strange. Although the predator had no specific identifier, his behavior was very similar to Caledor's.

In addition, the Sotek sect is considered a barbaric group among the lizard people. After the snake god prophet arrived in Karak Budar, he often had disputes with humans.

It is hard not to suspect that this snake god who loves the blood of rats may want to have a taste of human beings.

"What do you think?" Minas Nir didn't mind the presence of a third party and directly asked the kid what he thought. The way of blaming others for this matter was too obvious.

The only elf currently operating in Tyrell is the Great Horned Viper. No matter how slight the suspicion is, one must first consider whether it was done by the Knights.

Imric frowned and thought, many possibilities flashed through his mind, but he was not sure who it was, so he could only shake his head.

"I don't know... there are many possibilities. Druzi, the Phoenix King's Court, or Aslay could all do this."

A blue light flashed in Minas Nir's eyes, and the originally calm magical wind became as violent as a violent wind with the movement of the dragon, stirring up waves on the sea.

The dragon, who is proficient in the winds of heaven, encountered obstacles when he tried to find out the roots of this matter.

This made the arrogant Minasnir unwilling to believe that as he poured the already violent wind of magic into his body, a whirlpool formed on the sea surface, and the dark clouds in the sky gradually gathered.

Within half a minute, the strange weather began to calm down. Minasnir, who felt extremely tired, lowered his head and lay down on the gravel again, looking like a wreck.

"This matter is not simple. It requires some effort to investigate."

Although North didn't understand the dragon's riddle, Imrik nodded in approval. Lao Mi's divination results were obviously unsatisfactory, and the identity of this group of people was not confirmed.

To make an ancient dragon so decadent, perhaps only some invisible beings have such ability.

After taking some time to consider how to handle the matter, Imric said to the herald,

"Leave this matter in the hands of Phyllis, and form an investigation team to deal with it specifically. They should act as secretly as possible so that no one can detect the intervention of the Dragon Palace."

"Yes, I will explain to Maid Felice whether she will be responsible for the subsequent handover."

"Well, she's solely responsible for that."

…………

Rather than finding a countermeasure immediately from the prince, the Great Master was confused by the accusations he received.

The Great Horned Viper stayed in Tyrell for nearly twenty years, during which time he was regarded as a moral model in the world, not to mention helping human villages to eliminate ratmen.

Just for the greenskins, beastmen, and bandits that they killed, they could already get a lot of reward from these human princes.

However, based on the mentality that humans have no right to reward, the giant horned viper rejected these well-intentioned humans, worked tirelessly to protect Tyrell's issues as much as possible, and concentrated on dealing with the rats in the withered swamp.

But after these accusations, Elvis knew that the good impression the Knights had accumulated on humans over the years had disappeared immediately after returning to the Fortress of the Giant Horned Viper in Tyrell.

Those civilians with strange eyes were all saying that maybe the next sacrifice to the barbaric gods would be themselves.

Not wanting to trouble the prince's great mentor, he chose to handle the matter alone. After the first investigation team was sent back, he asked in a low voice,

"If my guess is correct, you still haven't found any clues."

The Charis warrior in charge of the investigation nodded with great difficulty. The hunter's sense of smell was very keen, and he was confident that he would find the attacker based on some traces.

But the final result was that not a single hair was visible.

"I searched in detail around several villages and towns for any possible intelligence on the attackers.

Logically speaking, as long as the number of prisoners exceeds a hundred, there will be some traces during the operation, but the final result..."

Elvis, who has been engaged in intelligence work, said that needless to say, the Charis warrior matter has become very weird. If not handled well, it can easily lead to conflicts between Karak Budar and Douglas.

Althea pushed open the door and held a document that had just been sent from Ulthuan in her hands. She didn't care that there was an outsider present, and directly told the Grand Master clearly,

"Teacher Luo Ning believes that there is external intervention in this matter, and Professor Agil from the School of Magic cannot get any useful clues. This is the specific spell feedback."

The Grand Master took the document but did not read it. He considered himself just a reckless man who knew nothing about magic, so why bother getting entangled in profound and difficult terminology.

But the reality is obvious, the double-layered search of physics and magic has failed... (End of this chapter)
