Section 22 Inquiry
"Very good, we've found the right one." The elf soldier's voice was very polite, but Ashu Rufat didn't know that this politeness was for politeness or other reasons. "Please come with us."
The soldiers dispersed from both sides with very skillful and agile movements to scatter from both sides. This movement can be understood as hostage or protection. In short, Ashrufate was surrounded by these soldiers in front, back, left and right, and could only follow them.
If he hadn't chosen to resist.
Ashu Rufate knew very well that as long as he chose to resist, he would definitely escape from the city. But this was also equivalent to his plan - the plan to save Mimilu was completely ruined.
He followed the soldiers all the way forward, and in front of him was the center of Eriber, the highest place in the city. I don’t know what this building is in the eyes of the elves, but by human standards, it is a white palace.
A palace that seemed to be carved out of a whole piece of white stone. Although Ashrufate knew that this palace could not have been carved out of a piece of stone, it did give people such a first impression. The elves built this ingenious palace with some kind of magic or some superb architectural craftsmanship.
At the door of the palace, two beautiful statues of ladies stood up, looking at all those who were planning to enter the palace with a gentle look. However, Ashu Rufate did not have more time to appreciate the skills of the elf craftsmen, because he was already carried into the palace.
In front of him, a whole squad of soldiers were waiting there. Each soldier was fully armed, but fortunately, they did not face each other. However, Ashu Rufate could keenly feel that there was a unique atmosphere in it. Some important things happened where he didn't know.
"Master, I think the atmosphere is getting weirder. They bring you into the palace?" Carrie said cautiously in her mind. "I think they shouldn't... specifically ask about your origin and identity? Are they worried that you are a spy for the dark elf?"
"The spy... wasn't you met in the palace?" Ashu Rufat was also confused. He said he was a guest, and the dozen soldiers around him could follow him closely - even by human standards, this was not like a way of hospitality. But if he was a suspect, he was taken into the palace.
"Prince Berland is dead? In other words, there is no master in this palace." Ashu Rufate asked Carrie in his mind. "This should be the prince's residence." He noticed that several elf girls came over from the front. This was the first time he saw female elves wearing such thin clothes that showed their figure. Through this hazy clothes, Ashu Rufate could even see the delicate skin under their clothes. Their figure was not as straight as ordinary humans thought. Their busts were not exaggerated, but they were definitely not flat, with slender waists and slender hands and feet. Their appearance was just like the legendary description of elves. The exquisiteness could make humans unable to look away.
"By the way, Prince Berland and his sons died... His daughter is still there? So the princess wants to see me?" Ashu Rufate came to a conclusion that seemed to be correct in his mind. "By the way, what recommendation did Verino say... In the end they recommended that princess regent?"
Several figures walked forward, and Ashu Rufate knew at least one of them. It was Dinaser, a diplomat and trainee magician. At this moment, Dinaser stood side by side with several others, standing in front of him.
"I am Shagni, the son of Moma, descendant of the Charrell family, and the servant of Prince Berland, and the chief consul of Eriber." The person who spoke was an old elves. In fact, it is difficult to judge whether the elves are young or old, because they do not have wrinkles on their faces. The reason why he is old is a completely different temperament, and Dinaser will not give people this feeling. Ashu Rufate noticed that only half of his right ear was left - the remaining half of his ear, leaving traces of cutting blades. It was a lifelong memory left by avoiding a fatal attack.
"I'm Ashu Rufate."
The old elf looked at the strange guest in front of him with some surprise. He emphasized his name, but did not mention his bloodline, origin, position, monarch, etc. This arrogant self-introduction fully demonstrated that Ashu Rufate was very confident in his bloodline. This visitor named Ashu Rufate was obviously very confident that all the elves present were not as noble as him in terms of bloodline and were not qualified to ask about his origin. He did not need to introduce his details to these elves who were not as noble as himself.
It should be noted that most of the people present were nobles. Although Eriber was a new city (of course, this "new" was based on the standards of elves), among the elves and nobles living in this city, there were many branches of famous families. Many elves were able to be proud of their noble bloodline. Even Chagni himself was the same. The Charel family he belonged to was already a very noble family among elves, but they were still looked down upon by Ashu Rufate.
"Master, it's bad!" Carrie screamed in her mind. "We made a big mistake!"
"What's wrong?" Ashu Rufate asked in confusion.
"If you do not indicate your bloodline, origin, position, or monarch when introducing yourself, it is an extremely arrogant and rude way of speaking." Carrie said. "It is even at the level of 'insult'."
"But I don't know anything!" Ashu Rufate replied helplessly. "I'm not a real elf, I don't have any background to introduce."
Fortunately, the situation was not as bad as Carrie said. The elf who claimed to be Shagni did not show an insulted angry expression. He just looked at Ash Rufate calmly, looking up and down very carefully.
"You should be a prince, right?" Shagney asked suddenly. "Dinaiser has told me about your situation."
"I..." Ashu Rufate didn't expect the other party to suddenly ask such a question. He hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question under such circumstances. He subconsciously looked into the farther crowd, but happened to see Xunfeng (mainly because his clothes were more conspicuous). Xunfeng was surrounded by Verino, and both of them were looking at him... All the elves present were looking at him, waiting for his reply.
He remembered that Verino had asked this question before. He had already denied it clearly at the time. This made him a little confused. What was wrong? His denial was invalid, and these elves always regarded him as a prince.
"What's the situation, Carrie?" Ashu Rufate asked in his mind unconsciously.
"Master, it's temperament, it's temperament!" Carrie explained loudly in her mind. "Because of the change of identity, the control of power, and the life and death experience on the battlefield, all of this has changed your temperament."
"Stop kidding! What the hell is going on?"
"If you ask me to explain, I can only say that this is a psychological phenomenon. As long as you are a higher intelligent creature, you will subconsciously protect your psychological self... In the words you can understand, they are trying to believe what they want to believe and refuse to admit what they don't want to see. This phenomenon is called 'hope' in human language."
"ah……"
