Elves: Starting from Carlos

Chapter 345: I Said But I Didn’t Believe It

Night slowly descended, covering the vast land, but failed to completely swallow up the warm light in the village. At this moment, the village was brightly lit, like a dazzling gem inlaid on the dark canvas, emitting a reassuring glow.

In the center of this peaceful and tranquil scene, a bright full moon hangs high in the night sky, overlooking everything below like a guardian angel. The light is soft and bright, and the silver moonlight pours down, giving the entire village a mysterious and dreamy coat.

We learned from Saizo that the group of people who kidnapped the leader was led by a ninja named Jingyou, who was also a ninja from the ninja village.

He was considered the next chief and was supposed to inherit the position of Hanzo-sama... the current chief, and become the leader of the ninja village.

However, due to the conflict of ideas between the two sides, he left the Ninja Village with his men.

Nowadays, the kidnapping of leader Hanzo is probably because of this matter of becoming the leader.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death, we should go and rescue him immediately!"

Sanping stood up from the cushion with a "swoosh", his eyes wide open, burning with rage and endless anxiety.

He clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms, as if he was about to break through the constraints of the house in the next second and rush out to find the enemy to fight to the death.

"Ok!"

Xiaozhi stood up right after him.

"Calm down! You don't even know where he is! Where can you save him?!"

Seeing this, Hitlon on the side hurriedly spoke up to stop it.

Hearing Hitron's shout, the two young men, Sanping and Xiaozhi, looked at each other in shock, and it seemed that they had just reacted.

"He is the leader after all, he will be safe."

"The people in the village are tracking their whereabouts now. Let's wait for their news."

A'nin and Ippei spoke up one after another, admonishing the two.

"Yes."

Sanping and Xiaozhi looked at each other again, nodded solemnly, and sat back. Even though they were worried about the safety of their leader, they didn't even know where he was now, so they could only wait for news.

In the room filled with tension and oppression, the atmosphere was like a heavy rock, making everyone feel breathless. Only Mu Feng seemed out of tune with the people around him. He looked leisurely from beginning to end, and looking across the steaming teacup, he looked so comfortable that he seemed as if he was in a completely different world.

Seeing that no one spoke, Salina wanted to hear her boyfriend's opinion. When she turned around, she saw this scene. Her little head turned and her solemn expression slowly relaxed.

She raised her eyebrows, tugged at Mu Feng's clothes, and said with a smile: "Mu Feng, you must know something again, right?"

"Hmm... Hmm?" Mu Feng was staring at the inky night outside the window, his mind wandering somewhere else. When he heard Serena's words, he responded subconsciously, but soon came to his senses and changed his tone to a half-joking one, "No, I'm not a god, and I can't predict the future, so how can I know everything?"

Serena stared straight into Mu Feng's eyes, still smiling, but her eyes clearly said, "Do you think I believe it?"

When Serena asked, everyone's attention had already shifted over.

Seeing Mufeng's look, the Xitron siblings showed a strange expression, obviously not quite believing it. Xiaozhi and the others were confused.

"Ahem, alright." Mu Feng glanced at everyone, thought for a moment, stood up, walked to the door, raised his hand and pointed to a hilltop, "Your leader is on that hilltop."

It shouldn't affect the plot if it's a little earlier...

? ! ? ! ? !

"What did you say?!"

"Pikapi?!"

"Huh?! Really?!"

Xiaozhi and others stood up first. Several ninjas hesitated, but followed closely and came to Mufeng. They looked in the direction of his finger. Although they couldn't see clearly from a distance, they could still see several dancing flames as big as fireflies. Those were the flames of torches.

"really?"

Erping narrowed his eyes, a little unconvinced.

"I told you but you didn't believe it."

Mu Feng spread his hands, shrugged, and sat back down in his previous seat.

"So that's how it is. The colorful butterfly from a while ago was here to deliver a message!"

At this moment, Hitlon seemed to be struck by inspiration. He slapped his forehead suddenly, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

Just now, everyone had just sat down in the room, and the atmosphere between them was still a little dull.

Suddenly, a colorful butterfly, as if it had found its target, nimbly flew through the narrow gap in the door and fluttered into the house. It flew straight towards Mu Feng, called softly in his ear a few times, and then flapped its wings and flew away briskly.

At that time, no one paid much attention to this colorful butterfly that suddenly appeared and quickly left, but now thinking about it, the reason why Mu Feng could so confidently tell the location of the leader must be because of the information conveyed by the colorful butterfly.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Mu Feng had accidentally encountered a colorful butterfly near the village before. His original intention was to let the Land Shark go to find the traces of the group of people who kidnapped the leader, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no need to rush, so he asked the colorful butterfly to help, and of course gave it some food as a reward.

This action was actually unnecessary. It was just a precaution in case something went wrong and the ninjas couldn't be found.

After Xitron's reminder, the scene of the colorful butterfly fluttering in and hurriedly leaving instantly emerged in Xiaozhi and others' minds. They were all surprised and delighted, and did not think about why Mufeng told them now.

Xiaozhi couldn't wait to rush out of the room, "What are you waiting for? Go and save the leader!"

"Eh? Xiaozhi?!"

"Let's catch up quickly!"

The three of them were stunned. Hitron quickly said something to the people in the Ninja Village and pulled Yulika out.

The young and inexperienced Sanping didn't understand what was said, but it seemed that the news just now was true. He just wanted to rescue the leader as soon as possible, so he rushed out.

“What… is going on?!”

The remaining four people in the ninja village were in a state of confusion the whole time, with doubts written all over their faces, until they watched Sanping rush out like a gust of wind, then they woke up from their dream and quickly turned their inquiring eyes to Serena and Mufeng who had not yet moved.

"Well... to put it simply, Mufeng can understand the Pokémon's intention through its calls. The colorful butterfly just now was ordered by Mufeng to find the leader's trace."

Serena was originally anxious to catch up with the four people, but was stopped by Mu Feng. With just a gesture, she understood why they were not in a hurry, because they had flying Pokémon. When she heard the questions of several people, she also gave timely answers.

The four of them were only surprised for a moment, but they quickly reacted and went out to take action. Ippei and Anin went to call back the men; Erping and Saizo chased after Xiaozhi and the others.

"By the way, why didn't you tell them right away?"

Seeing that everyone had left, Serena returned to sit next to her boyfriend, not showing any sign of anxiety like everyone else.

Mu Feng was not in a hurry, which meant that everything was within her expectations, so there was no need for her to worry about it and she could just trust him unconditionally.

"It doesn't matter if you go a little later. The result is the same. The word 'leader' has a certain value. How could he be killed so easily? Besides..."

"and?"

Mu Feng stopped talking when he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"From the beginning, the other party never intended to kill the leader, otherwise there would be no need to kidnap him. As a ninja, wouldn't it be easier and faster to assassinate him directly?"

"Well... part of the reason is that I want to get information about the leader of that group from Saizo to prove my hypothesis."

"The facts have also proved that Jingyou's goal is to become the leader. He has never thought of killing the leader or kidnapping the leader. He probably wants the leader to do something for him."

Mu Feng's words were purely an excuse, and he gave roughly the same answer when asked about it by the people from the Ninja Village later.

His original idea was very simple, which was to quietly act as an invisible person and let the whole incident develop naturally according to the original plot.

It’s just that I was so absorbed in looking at the night scene outside the window that I forgot to “act”.
