Chapter 553

"Enough, I already understand the idea of ​​​​the human empire." The elder waved his hand, "Please convey the goodwill of our elves to the empire, but our elf Capet is now suffering from unprecedented disasters, and we are really powerless to escape. I’m really sorry for taking action to deal with the demonic invasion.”

……

Although Princess Anya argued hard, the Great Elder had already made a decision, and Fang Tian finally got bad news.

The elves refused to form an alliance with humans.

The only good news is that since the Great Elder said that Princess Anya and others will not be held accountable for entering the forbidden elven land, they have regained their freedom.

The elves arranged a special camp for Princess Anya and others. Tomorrow, they will return to Cape City with the third elder and others.

"We haven't failed yet." Princess Anya in the camp did not lose her fighting spirit at all. After a moment of silence, she quickly began to look for any possible opportunities in desperation. She said: "As long as we haven't left Capet, we There is still a chance to persuade the Great Elder to change his mind."

"Tip: Side mission triggered - turn the situation around."

Mission name: Turn the situation around.

Mission description: The elves reject the proposal of forming an alliance, and ask you to leave Cape tomorrow. Before leaving Cape, you have one day to reverse this bad situation.

Task requirements: ? ? ?
Failure penalty: ring task failure.

Mission remaining time: 24 hours.

Then the game prompt rang in Fang Tian's ear.

Fang Tian nodded secretly. Princess Anya was right. It has not completely failed. There are still 24 hours left in the mission, which can be used to do a lot of things.

Hesna seldom raised opinions, she thought about it: "There are not many things that can change the elder's mind, and the chips we offered are not enough to attract the elder to form an alliance with humans. If we can solve this seal incident, it is not impossible to restore everything.”

"Yes! It's enough chips!" Princess Anya's eyes lit up, "Changing my mind, maybe we don't need to solve the seal directly, we just need to be able to play a vital role in this incident..."

Fang Tian sniffed his nose. He hesitated a little, wondering whether he should tell the princess that what was hidden under the seal was not the passage to the Netherworld Abyss, but a sealed undead monarch.

While a few people were talking, the tent was opened, and Nios walked in with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry, I was not expecting the great elder to make such a decision. My grandfather has tried his best."

Princess Anya stood up, "Nios, thank you very much for everything you have done. We have one more request."

Nios said: "If I can do it, please feel free to speak."

"We want to go to the sealed land to take a look."

Nios couldn't help but raise his head and said in surprise: "You haven't given up yet?"

"We don't give up so easily." Princess Anya said, "Can you help us once more? We also want to help a little bit."

"This..." Neos hesitated for a moment, and seeing the begging Princess Anya in front of him, his heart softened, and he looked up at Fang Tian again, and said, "Actually, I just learned the news about the underground Things about sealing the passage have changed."

Variety?

Princess Anya asked anxiously, "What change?"

"The Kara sent people to find a secret treasure passed down from ancient times, a sealing scroll that can obliterate the portal."

"What!? This is impossible!" Hesna couldn't help blurting out when she heard the news, "The scroll that can destroy the passage of the undead? There is no way such a thing exists!"

"Um..." Nios said: "It should be correct. The great elder confirmed it before."

Princess Anya thought far more than Hesna at this time, and the most worrying thing happened.

The elves have found a way to solve the portal, which means that they do not need to rely on the human empire to obtain the resources of alchemical runes. And the worst thing is that the person who found the key to destroy the portal is not their humans, but one of her most important Someone I don’t want to see, Kara.

The eldest elder is old, Kara has a very high reputation among the younger generation, and the eldest elder is seriously ill and continues to inherit. If he can really successfully solve the problem of the passage of the dead this time... then Kara's ascendancy is almost a certainty. foregone conclusion……

In just a moment, Princess Anya's thoughts cleared up instantly.

No wonder the attitude of the elves took a turn for the worse. The great elder must have considered the relationship between Kara and humans, so he simply refused to form an alliance...

Likewise, Fang Tian also had a look on his face at a loss. The power required to destroy and open the passage was extremely strong. Not to mention whether the scroll could do this, the most surprising thing to him was why the elves were so sure. Under the 27 sealed doors will be a passage leading to the Netherworld Abyss.

According to the records in the temple prayers, what exists under the 27 sealed doors is Ke, the undead king who was sealed in ancient times.

Wait!
Fang Tian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If the last 27 sealed doors were opened, what about the undead monarch buried at the bottom of the seals?

Wouldn't he be released?

Princess Anya still wanted to make her last effort, she pursed her lips and said: "As far as I know, the power to destroy the passage to another world is extremely huge. Is there really such a scroll on this continent?" How sure are the elders?"

"The Great Elder didn't say anything, but Kara is very confident. He thinks he is [-]% sure about this matter."

Princess Anya continued: "To destroy the passage, you must open the last sealed door, right? If it fails, have you considered the consequences?"

Neos looked apprehensive, he paused, probably because he felt owed to Princess Anya and her party, and finally said: "Forget it, I won't hide it from you, our elves have already There is not much retreat. The undead creatures that appear from the lower layer of the seal every day are increasing rapidly in both quantity and quality. We have suffered too much damage. Optimistically, we can hold on for three days at most. This time, we chose to fight against the situation. Unlocking the seal while still under control is already our last effort."

Hesna also frowned. She was very confused. The matter of the undead was not a trivial matter. Nowadays, there are disasters one after another. The empire is facing the invasion of demons, and the elves are troubled by the undead.

If Kara and the others succeeded, it would be impossible for the elves to form an alliance with humans.

Conversely, what if the elves fail?They couldn't completely seal the passage of the undead, and this would definitely not be a good thing for humans. It only took a short period of time for the undead to quickly pass through the elves' territory, and death would soon spread to the human empire.
