Chapter 46 Each has his own thoughts
"Captain, I'll go to Charia with you!" Lago lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said firmly, "Anyway, I'm home in all directions, and the Baldur Gate and Charia are no different."
"Rick, I..." Compared to Largo's straightforwardness, Winnie was a little hesitant.
"Winnie, stop talking. You are different from Lago. Your family is in Deep Water City. After the experience, you always have to go back. How can you follow me?" Rick smiled and shook his head. "Although the Blood-Thorn Mercenary Group has been dissolved, we are still friends. One day, we will meet again."
Winnie raised her head and held the staff tightly, but her eyes slowly dimmed. As a woman and a mage, she didn't care about any family or family, but she still had parents and relatives who cared about it. It was indeed impossible to follow Rick to the Kingdom of Chara.
Rick smiled calmly, and inadvertently glanced at Qin Lun and others in the distance, but suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I don't want to say bad things about other companions. This adventure is worth it, and there is nothing to regret.
But one thing must be reminded that Winnie, whether it is Miss Linda or Phylal, if they continue to invite you to take risks next, you must not join in again."
Hearing Rick's words, Lago also smiled bitterly, "Although these guys have lived and died with us for so many days, they have never revealed their true identities. I still dare not trust them."
Rick shook his head indifferently, "Knowing their identities may not be a good thing for us. Let's just forget it. Although I am not afraid of life and death, I don't want to die inexplicably."
...
Just as Rick and others were whispering, Qin Lun and Mastasha also had something to communicate.
"After you go out of the Troll's Claw, will you go back to the Anker Elf Court next?" asked the Highland Elf tentatively.
Qin Lun looked at Mastasha and lowered his head to pretend to be meditated. They are now carrying the branch mission of Silver Moon Founding, which is an epic mission with huge benefits, so naturally they cannot give up. However, if they want to perform this mission, they must support the harpist master in front of them, or the harpist alliance behind her.
This is not to say that without Mastasha, they would not be able to go to the Silver Moon Alliance, but the strength of the three of them was not enough to support this epic mission.
Qin Lun entered the world of Torrell last time and also performed the epic mission of "The Path of Ancients".
At that time, he had two complete silver teams around him, as well as the Sun Elf Guard who guarded Milleras. On the way, he also joined the Snow Peak Dwarf, Idriya and others, but there were still very few people who finally arrived at the Baldur Gate.
Now he only has Hill and Rand around him, and the location of the mission was extremely unfamiliar to the North. If there were no other forces to use it and rashly launch the mission and face the killers of the Santalin Society, they would definitely be dead and dead.
The three murderers are all proud from the bottom of their hearts, but not as arrogant as to ignore everything. That is stupid, not confidence. So they need the support and help of the Harpist Alliance.
But as a master of harpists, Mastasha is not a professional intelligence officer for harpists like bards, but she is also extremely sensitive and not so easy to cheat. Qin Lun needs a legitimate reason to dispel the doubts of the Highland Elves so that they can participate in this epic plot openly.
"No, we don't plan to go back to Anker's Elf Court immediately. After the Troll's Claws are released, we will go directly to the North." Qin Lun's mind suddenly turned countless thoughts, and finally decided to tell the truth.
"Why? Anker's Elf Court now integrates Thorn Forest and Winter Forest. The Mill Forest to the west seems to have the intention to merge with you. King Tynequelas is planning to establish the Yaoyue Court. Seopia is one of the very important inheritances of the Elf Court. Don't you plan to go back to help your tribe as a prince?"
Mastasha blinked and asked sly, "Don't tell me, you really went north to destroy their conspiracy for the little grudge between you and Santalin?"
Qin Lun was speechless for a moment. The Highland Elf was indeed not easy to fool. The far-fetched reason he gave a few days ago obviously did not win the trust from her.
"My hatred and the Santalin Society have nothing to do with each other. An attempted assassination would not have made me think about it for so long!" Qin Lun shook his head slowly and said with a smile, "Mastasha, since you have been following the Anker Elf Court for so long, you should know the intention of King Tyne Quelas to send me to participate in the Japanese Elf Envoy Group?"
"Well, I know! King Tynequelas hopes that the Moon Elf clan can share the glory of re-tracking the ancient road and increase the reputation of the Ank Elf Court in order to integrate the Moon Elf Court in the central and southern part of the continent and compete with the Sun King Court established on Yongju Island in the future." Mastasha said without hesitation.
King Tynequelas's original plan was open and conspiracy, and even those with a little wise mind on the mainland could see it clearly, of course, it also included the Harpist Alliance.
"Since you know, you should understand why I went to Silver Moon Alliance instead of returning to the Anker Elf Court."
Qin Lun sighed, his thoughts gradually became clear, he sorted out his words and continued, "The King of Tynequelas gave me the identity of Prince Seopia, not because he recognized my inheritance rights, but just gave me an excuse to participate in the envoys with a legitimate excuse.
Although they are all part of the moon elves, the moon elves behind me are the Jondal Moon Elf, not the Ank Moon Elf. There is a difference between me and the orthodox Moon Elf Prince of the Ank Elf Court.
In the future Yaoyue Court, the Jondal Moon Elf is a small tribe that is insignificant. Their status and interest distribution in the royal court in the future depends entirely on the personal reputation of Ilistin and I. Walking through the ancient road will make other Moon Elf respect me, but it is not enough to make them face the Jondal Moon Elf. Besides, I have not actually completed the ancient road."
The ancient road starts from the Forest of Comanso and ends at Yongju Island, and the last stop on the Feren continent is Deep Water City. Qin Lun withdrew from the Torrell World at the Gate of Bode, so naturally he cannot be considered as finishing the ancient road.
"What you mean is that you still need to continue to improve your reputation, so that the Moon Elf Tribe who gathers under the Ray Moon Court in the future must face you and the Jondale Moon Elf?" Mastasha's eyes flashed and she murmured.
"It's not about looking at each other, but about looking up. One level of being better than others can only usher in jealousy, but countless levels of being better than others become great, making others unable to even be jealous." Qin Lun smiled without changing his face.
"In addition, there is another point. The future Yaoyue Elf Court is different from the Sun King Court on Yongju Island. It also has to face the pressure of other human powers on the mainland. I think any race on the mainland doesn't want to see a united and powerful Moon Elf Court beside us, so we also need a powerful ally."
Qin Lun said with a smile, "For the continental elves, all human kingdoms on the continent are not suitable alliance targets, and the Silver Moon Alliance with complex races is different. Elf and half-elves occupy more than 30% of the population. There are many elves druids and elves mages at their top. Even the Silver Moon Lord Elaszhu Silver Hand himself looks half-elves."
(The reason why Qin Lun said that Elaszhu's appearance is half-elf, not bloodline. That is because Elaszhu's mother, Al Sand, is the human incarnation of the magic goddess Misla. The seven sisters in the Northland headed by Elaszhu are all the daughters of gods. Mysra's elect, naturally, cannot be said to be simple half-elf.)
"Going to the north to rescue the Alliance Lords Council headed by Elaszor and reaching some alliance intention with the Silver Moon Alliance will be the biggest surprise when the Yaoyue Court was established, and at the same time, it will make your reputation reach its peak in the future Yaoyue Court, comparable to the first Yaoyue Elf King Tyne Quilas Yexing."
Mastasha said to himself thoughtfully, "Even if the elf tribe behind him is not strong enough and you cannot become the second elf king, I am afraid no one dares to ignore the status and interests of the Jondalmoon elves."
Qin Lun smiled and said nothing. He could see that although Mastasha had not completely resolved his doubts, at least the reason he gave was impeccable. He was tied to the harpist master, and then he could get the intelligence support of the harpist alliance.
"By the way, you and Miss Linda have been discussing privately two days ago. Should she also participate in this matter?" Qin Lun asked quietly with a flash of eyes.
"Linda really wants to participate in this 'novel' adventure." When she mentioned her new friend, the Highlander showed a smile on her face. "It's just that she was worried that she would be stopped by her teacher immediately after she went back, so she was not sure yet. However, she was willing to provide us with a quick shortcut to the Northland."
"Shortcut, what kind of shortcut is it?" Qin Lun's eyes lit up. There was less than half a month left in the Silver Moon City Celebration. Even if they arrived in the North, they would need time to explore the conspirators of the Santalin Society. If there was no other way, there was actually not enough time.
"Before Linda came out this time, she had handed over the work of the mercenary union. She was going to accompany her teacher to return to Candle Castle a week ago." Mastasha said with a smile. "According to her, the arcane scholars of Candle Castle have built several large teleportation arrays under the Candle Castle to quickly reach every corner of the continent. We may be able to use these teleportation arrays to travel to the north."
"Candle Fort? Are you talking about that famous mage fortress!" Qin Lun frowned slightly. This was an unexpected surprise. "If they refused to provide teleportation, we would not even have enough time to go to the Silver Moon Alliance."
Candle Fort is located at the end of the Lion Road, a cliff fortress across the sea from the Faren Continent. It is located in the southwest of the Baldur Gate, but it is about a hundred miles away from their current location, just opposite to the direction to the north.
