BXBX NOVEL Chapter 376
No wonder the attack had gone so smoothly. Compared to the half-filled bottle of water from the wanderers, the power of the evil power concentrate multiplied several times with Kafka’s help.
Although Kafka had escaped part of the punishment in some ways, he could no longer leave the Elf Forest. Although Dorothy could not see Kafka himself, she could still see many clues from the runes he had left behind. For example, some of his past with Adele, which we had already heard from Adele. For example, how he had broken through the city gates and led the wanderers to stir up trouble in the capital, and how he had been seriously injured by the power of the Elf King and forced to leave. Before the Elf King fell into a deep sleep, he had asked nature to mark Kafka.
Since he couldn’t escape the Elf Forest, his whereabouts were restricted to the elf territory, which meant we could find him as long as we spent some time.
Dorothy’s head was already covered in a thick layer of cold sweat. Just as we were about to ask her to stop, she suddenly said, “Kafka is... Very weak now. Is he... Is he sealed? No, that’s not accurate. More accurately, his magic power has been sealed... perhaps it’s not a seal, but a ‘mark of nature’. What is it?”
She broke away from the prophecy, and we looked at the only elf in unison, hoping she could answer us.
Kaya was also unfamiliar with this term, but as an elf, she had some understanding of it.
“Everyone knows that our race believes in the goddess of nature, and as Kings, the past elven Kings had the ability and authority to communicate with the goddess of nature directly. Although the goddess is not easily disturbed, the Elf King would always ask for the help of the goddess of nature whenever the elven race is in trouble.”
“Due to the law’s restrictions, the goddess could not directly descend into the world. It is said she would give the entire Elf Forest her power to monitor the intruders from all directions, suppress their power, and make it impossible for them to leave the Elf Forest.
“However, since the Elf King is the only one who can communicate directly with the goddess of nature, once His Majesty falls into a deep sleep, no one else will know about the will of the goddess. So, even I only found out about the ‘mark of nature’ today.”
“Do the elders know about this?” I asked.
“I don’t think so.” Kaya shook her head. If they knew, the elders would have tried to contact the goddess.”
“So... ” Dorothy suddenly said, “In theory, even if His Majesty has fallen into a deep sleep, his connection with the goddess has not been cut off, right?”
“I guess...”
“That’s good... I have an idea. Why don’t you let me ‘take a look’ at His Majesty? In theory, I can see the entire life of His Majesty. I should be able to see even the content of his communication with the goddess. This way, we can easily grasp Kafka’s movements, and even Azazel’s party can be caught in one fell swoop.
This was a good idea, but Kaya and I were not optimistic about it.
“I’m afraid the elders won’t agree so easily.” I frowned and pondered. “We’re foreigners, after all. How can they agree to let us spy on their King’s life? Moreover, the Elf King is still in a deep sleep. Even if we revealed all of the secrets of the elves, no one outside would know. From this point of view, it’s almost impossible to get the Council of Elders to agree.”
Kaya thought so too. “Not to mention the elders, even my first reaction was to disagree. Please don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I don’t trust you. I know that all of you are noble, but this is a matter of our clan’s secrets. Who can so easily let down their guard?”
But no matter what, this was the simplest and most obvious method. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, we had to try our best.
As expected, the Council of Elders flatly refused our request.
The great elder said seriously, “We appreciate everyone’s good intentions, but please forgive us for not being able to agree to such a thing. I think everyone is clear about the pros and cons. There is no need for me to elaborate. I have to say since we’ve invited you all to help us eliminate the stray werewolves, it shows that we have full trust in you. But no matter what, this isn’t a matter for us old fogeys to handle. This concerns the entire elven race, so even if we trust you all, we still have to consider the opinions and opinions of the elves.”
“Well, in fact, we also expected that you wouldn’t agree to this,” I said with a bitter smile. “We fully understand your worries, but we have too few clues.”
The first elder suggested, “Maybe you can ask Mr. Cage. He’s a powerful wizard and is deeply trusted by His Majesty. He’ll be of great help to you.”
It was a pity that Dorothy’s father did not return to the Elf Forest with us. Instead, he stayed behind in the Lycan pack as the Elf King’s messenger. After all, he was a wizard. Before he confirmed the actual situation of the elves, the werewolves could not trust him completely.
