Chapter 244 Archduke Edward
Chapter 244 Grand Duke Edward
"Sure enough..." Grand Duke Edward's heart tightened. Of course he knew what was in the whispering forest and what was the responsibilities of the elves. ⊙3,000 years ago when the Supreme King summoned mainland elites to attack Hell, the elves were given the task of guarding the Hell Furnace. Some ancient families also formed the Hell Furnace Guardian Knights under the instructions of the Supreme King. Grand Duke Edward is the descendant of such a family. After taking over the family scepter, he learned this secret, and has been collecting strong orphans and providing weapons to the elves to supplement the Hell Furnace Guardian Knights.
Now the elves actually sent such a noble princess to come and talk about the Whispering Forest, which I think has a lot to do with the demon.
As the elf's Nighthawk, Hawkins is the middleman for the transfer of information and supplies from the Grand Duke and the Elves. His identity is extremely secret. Since the other party mentioned Hawkins and Rebecca was indeed an elf, Grand Duke Edward had no doubts.
He respectfully invited Rebecca and his party to enter the hall of the castle, and the etiquette displayed by Rebecca also showed the nobleness of her origin.
The guests of the host walked into the hall together, while Ling Xiao and the others were stopped by a knight at the door: "Please follow me to the next door to rest. We have prepared the best ale and barbecue, and your horses will also be taken care of."
Rebecca has entered the performance state, and there is no ordinary appearance of being off-line. She is as polite as a real princess and said to Grand Duke Edward: "These are not my followers, but my friends. I hope they have their seats on your long table."
Edward also regarded Ling Xiao and the others as knights guarding the Knights of the Hell Furnace, and came to protect Princess Fengyu. Unexpectedly, this elf princess actually called them friends and leveled their status. Grand Duke Edward, who did not know the identities of Ling Xiao, expressed a certain degree of demeanor, and first expressed his apology. He invited Ling Xiao and the others to enter his castle hall together.
Ling Xiao and his men took off their clothes and sat down with the vassals of the Grand Duke as guests on both sides of the long table. Their special armor and outstanding appearance attracted the attention of the people around them.
Grand Duke Edward and Rebecca greeted each other with respect, and then Grand Duke asked implicitly: "What happened in the whispering forest? You need His Royal Highness to come to me in person."
Rebecca said with a worried expression: "Sir, sir, should know the responsibilities of our elves in the whispering forest. Recently, we discovered the Hell furnace..."
But before Rebecca could finish his words, the attendant broke in again.
It is not the imperial meeting now. Sitting in the guest seat is the elf messenger, among which is the noble princess. This rash and rude behavior of intrusion is also harmful to the noble face. Grand Duke Edward suppressed his urge to get angry and was already thinking about how to punish the attendant.
Who would have thought that the attendant did not immediately tell the reason after rushing in, but made a gesture to the guards guarding around the hall. This was the most urgent code, which means that someone would threaten the life of the Grand Duke.
The guards immediately drew their swords and surrounded the Grand Duke Edward. The vassals stood up nervously and surrounded the Grand Duke to be wary of possible attacks. Only Ling Xiao and the others were still sitting there, secretly happy with the dramatic scene. It was so boring to have a simple meal.
"What happened?" Grand Duke Edward pushed away the guards in front of him. Now he was really angry. The attendant made him lose face in front of the elves.
The attendant looked vigilantly at Ling Xiao and the others who were sitting honestly, and took out something and presented it to Edward for justice: "Sir, there are four elves outside asking for a visit. They said they were the messengers of the elves, and asked me to hand over this badge to you?"
"Elf! Messenger!"
Everyone looked at Rebecca together. If the elves outside were messengers, then who were these people?
The attendant continued: "The elves outside said that the Duke knew this badge, and said whispered that a group of elves in the forest had applied to the demons. The demons sent them out together with a group of fallen humans to assassinate the ancient guardian family on the continent. As one of the ancient guardian families, they warned us to protect the safety of the Duke."
Grand Duke Edward was the guardian of ancient times, with fallen elves and humans to assassinate him!
Everyone looked at Ling Xiao, Rebecca and others together, and put all the weapons forward. It was obvious that these people were very consistent with the description of the elf messenger. They pretended to be the elf messenger and actually wanted to assassinate the Grand Duke Edward.
Grand Duke Edward did not have a partial follower's remark. Although the elf badge he handed over was real, a badge did not represent anything. He looked at Rebecca and her friends who had not done anything at present, and they were very calm. It seemed that the accusation just now was not them, and they turned a blind eye to all kinds of weapons pointing to them.
"Princess Fengyu, I am very sorry for the current situation," Grand Duke Edward was still using honorific words to Rebecca. "Do we invite these four elves who also call themselves elf messengers? I think you can clarify this misunderstanding after meeting."
"Of course," Rebecca did not hesitate at all. The status of the four elves in this drama was constantly increasing. She was looking forward to what kind of plot the four villains would bring this time. As for the confrontation, everyone is fake messenger, it depends on who can pretend more...
"Call them in, there is always one of us who is fake."
Soon, four elves of Cecilia were brought in, and her beautiful appearance and annoying clothes caused all the men to whistle in their hearts.
"Hello, Lord Duke, I have brought you the greetings of the Elf Council. May the gods bless you. In addition, we need your help in the Hell furnace." Cecilia gave Edward a elves, and then pretended to be surprised after seeing Ling Xiao and a few others: "Who are you? There is actually an elves. Don't you know that elves cannot leave the Whispering Forest without the approval of the Parliament? Except for the Fallen..."
Cecilia showed the superb acting skills that Ling Xiao, a group of professional actors, envied. She drew her sword and showed great hostility towards several "fakes", as if she would pounce on them at any time and kill these traitors.
The other three elves also showed their weapons, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. Everyone was induced to think that Ling Xiao and the others were believers of the demons. Even Grand Duke Edward tended to believe in Cecilia. Her performance was indeed contagious.
However, just as Grand Duke Edward was about to order to capture Ling Xiao and others, the servant just now rushed in.
"The Duke is not good, outside, outside... another elves came outside, she also called herself the messenger of the elves."
