Chapter 704 Anger
Momentum is a very subtle thing. Whichever way you lean, it will be tyrannical.
Elder Mai Sonoda's arrogance has weakened, which invisibly reflects my momentum.
Although she still had a dead look on her face, she could finally speak properly anyway.
"This morning, Elder Mela was attacked by an assassin at home. Her thin shoulders were burned by the assassin's magic. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured. Thank you to the God of Creation."
When Sonoda Mai said this, she made a devout gesture of faith.
Only then did I realize that the number of elders was indeed one less.
She continued: "Elder Mela chased the assassin to your other residence and lost track of him. After that, Elder Mela ordered people to search all the nearby residences, but no trace of the assassin was found. Finally, , we locked your other residence."
"Then continue searching at another residence." I frowned: "Why are you searching my house?"
Elder Mai Sonoda stared at me without saying a word, her brows twisted into a knot.
"I said, don't you suspect that there is some secret passage between my other tree house and my tree house?"
Seeing that their expressions were still solemn, it seemed that my guess was completely correct. Unconsciously, I frowned, and I was not happy anymore: "Can you please stop opening your imagination so much, okay? Digging secret passages, this is Do you think Treehouse will agree to my doing something that directly damages the roots of Treehouse? Do you think I have the courage?"
At this point, I was so emotional that my breathing became rapid. Fenghuang hurriedly came over and caressed my chest, saying: "Xiao Yi, don't be angry, don't be angry. It seems that they don't treat us as their own. How about we It’s better to go back to Fort Vicky, Remy, go and clean up.”
"Okay~" Remi floated from my neck and floated towards the room.
"Please don't do this, Mr. An Xiaoyi." The Elf Queen stood up and said with an anxious look: "Elder Sonoda Mai had no ill intentions. He just saw the companions he spent day and night being attacked, and he made such a rude decision because he was anxious and angry for a while. I'm here to apologize to you and everyone on their behalf."
Phoenix blinked his big eyes, performed an awkward courtesy, and said: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty the Queen, but I feel that the atmosphere here is very unfriendly, as if there is a dark cloud pressing on our heads, making us feel stressed. , makes us unhappy and free. After leaving, I will miss the delicious fruits and white fish here."
As she said that, she looked gloomy and ordered behind her: "You guys, go pack your things too. We'll leave in a moment."
"You can't leave!" Elder Mai Sonoda suddenly became anxious: "You can't leave! If you insist on leaving here, the girl from the fairy tribe must also stay!"
"Why?"
The Odachi stood in front of me. I leaned on the handle and sneered: "What qualifications do you have to order me?"
The next moment, murderous intent emerged and surrounded me.
Phoenix held my arm, so the murderous intention naturally circulated around her body.
Then, I was surprised to find that it did not resist the Phoenix at all, but flowed up the Phoenix's body like water, enveloping her at the same time.
A few seconds later, the bodies of Phoenix and I seemed to be enveloped in a thin layer of mist, black with red, very scary.
Killing intent is different from verbal threats. It is revealed directly, like a ferocious beast, always waiting to bite people.
My smile became ferocious, and when I turned my head, Phoenix also showed a faint smile. Her smile looked extremely beautiful, with that kind of enchanting beauty, which was even more shocking than my ferociousness.
However, I have to say that this monster does have an indescribable charm, like a huge whirlpool on the sea. You know you will definitely die if you fall into it, but you have no way to get out of it.
The eyes of almost all the elf guards were fixed on Phoenix's face, with a look of greed and cowardice on his face.
"I'm telling you, I'll give you three seconds to look away," I said coldly, "otherwise, I'll chop one to death and no one will be able to run away."
Under my pressure from all sides, the elf guards forcibly closed their eyes and lowered their heads. Perhaps, they thought that as long as they opened their eyes, they would be attracted to Phoenix's beautiful and enchanting face again.
Elder Mai Sonoda stared at me fiercely. She held her head high, but her eyes were quite tangled.
I think that at this moment, she must be constantly struggling in her heart, whether to put down her dignity or hold on to the final bottom line.
Time waits for no one, Remi has already floated back to my neck with the small bag on her back. The moment she came into contact with the murderous intention, she actually melted in safely.
"It's done~" Remi said, her tone was very natural, just like eating and sleeping.
However, it was this understatement that became the last straw for Elder Mai Sonoda.
Elder Mai Sonoda's expression turned painful. She sighed heavily, stepped forward and said, "It's all my fault today. Please don't leave Moonlight City with the girl from the Fairy Tribe. I will never do anything wrong again in the future." If you have any prejudice, please forgive me for all my actions.”
The almost tense atmosphere suddenly froze, and everyone stopped what they were doing and fell silent.
I turned to Phoenix: "Do you believe her?"
Phoenix blinked his big eyes and stared at Elder Mai Sonoda's pleading face and those somewhat cloudy eyes. He clenched his fists and said, "Well, just believe her once."
I turned around and ordered, "Everyone, please put everything back in its place."
The elves are a proud race. They are very good at adhering to principles and are very stubborn, but this does not mean that they are stupid.
When they need to let go of their stubbornness, they will put it down resolutely, just like the elder Mai Sonoda in front of them.
"Can we talk properly now?" I asked her.
Elder Mai Sonoda looked haggard and nodded: "Okay."
I looked at Elder Priscilla behind the Elf Queen. She didn't say a word from beginning to end. She just lowered her head and stood behind the Elf Queen, like the most personal guard.
The other elders did not look at me. They either lowered their heads or looked away, as if "this matter has nothing to do with me."
"Elder Mela said that the assassin disappeared in another residence of mine. Do you have any witnesses?"
"There are witnesses," Elder Mai Sonoda said, ordering a guard to bring the witnesses over.
After careful questioning, I understood the truth of the matter and confirmed that Elder Mela was not entrusted to punish me.
After that, I asked her again: "Elder Mai Sonoda, you said before that the assassin was lost near another residence of mine, so why didn't you cordon off the scene properly and instead led a group of people to try to break into my house?"
