Chapter 1819: Suspicion, Concealment

"The Demon Descendant Elves certainly would not let go of a nation like Siluwende, which was established by the remnants of Aryvandaar, so the infiltration began. But it wasn't until the war started that Eaerlann knew of the existence of the Demon Descendant Elves."

"And then what happened?"

Xia Duo suddenly interjected, "Didn't Eaerlann defeat Siluwende? How could they allow the Demon Descendant Elves to continue existing? And they even let the mysterious organization develop to this point!"

Xierdalanna had previously mentioned that the mysterious organization was powerful, and that even Crown King Helien of Eaerlann might be a member; this really did not look like something a group of losers could achieve.

Regarding this question, Puman and Andaluosike were also very interested, and they could not help but cast inquisitive gazes toward Xierdalanna.

Xierdalanna sighed inwardly and continued, "I was not a witness to the war back then, but according to the family's historical records, Eaerlann was indeed the victor at the time, and they firmly united with Shaerwen and the various nations in the Listar Forest to completely eradicate the existence of the Demon Descendant Elves. But looking at it now, they must not have wiped them out completely."

"Then in this last thousand years, has Eaerlann discovered any traces of the existence of Demon Descendant Elves?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Of course not. If there were any, wouldn't we have known that they weren't cleaned out back then? Matters like the profanation of bloodlines, whether it be Cormanthor, Eaerlann, or Illefarn, would never be tolerated!"

After Xierdalanna finished speaking, Andaluosike also added, "I have also never heard of any actions regarding Demon Descendant Elves in any of the nations. In fact, this is the first time I have even heard the term 'Demon Descendant Elf'."

"Actually, it's about the same for me. Before today, I hadn't even thought that Demon Descendant Elves would actually appear within the borders of Eaerlann," Xierdalanna also said with a sigh.

Although the Ansai Mountains are not an area under the actual control of Eaerlann, they have always been regarded by the Eaerlann Elves as their own national territory. Of course, the Shaerwen Elves think the same.

Regarding some of the circumstances inside the secret base of the mysterious organization, although Xierdalanna did not see the true faces of the Demon Descendant Elves with her own eyes, she believed that there was no need for Xia Duo and Andaluosike to lie to him about such matters.

Just thinking that the mysterious organization was actually related to the Demon Descendant Elves, she still felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as if a gloomy black curtain had been draped over her heart.

At this moment, in Xierdalanna's heart, she only cared about one question, and that was—does the Crown King know about this?

If he knows, then what kind of role did the Crown King play in it?

For some reason, Xierdalanna suddenly felt that the development of the situation was somewhat beyond her control. Originally, she just wanted to take revenge on the mysterious organization, but she did not expect to accidentally discover traces of the Demon Descendant Elves, who had disappeared for over a thousand years.

Sigh—

"Lord Xia Duo, Master Puman, this matter is extraordinary. I hope you will not disclose this to anyone else for the time being. Wait for me to go back and investigate further to confirm some information, and then we can make plans."

"I have no problem with that." Xia Duo agreed immediately. Although he promised to help Divine Envoy Taide collect some information about the Demon Descendant Elves, this did not mean he wanted to put himself in danger.

It would be best if he could collect it along the way, but if he couldn't, he would not pull chestnuts from the fire for Divine Envoy Taide without knowing the background of the Demon Descendant Elves.

Now that Xierdalanna is involved, he can just save some effort; once Xierdalanna investigates the results, he can just ask her for them.

"However, Master Puman—"

Xia Duo could not help but look at Puman on the side. The other party came representing the Seven Towers and likely would not agree to Xierdalanna's request, even if it was just a temporary concealment.

The facts were indeed as he had thought. He saw Puman frown and refuse Xierdalanna almost without any hesitation:

"I am not concerned with the secrets within the Elf race, but the Demon Descendant Elves involve demons and are closely related to the safety of the Northland nations. On this matter, the Seven Towers must be informed!"

"Master Puman—"

"No need to say more, this is not up for negotiation. But I can relay this to the Controllers and have them delay the public announcement as much as possible, or even not announce it at all. But as for how it will be handled specifically, the Seven Towers has its own principles."

Xierdalanna was somewhat dissatisfied with Puman's refusal, but she did not say anything else. She knew very well that she could not dictate the other party's decision; she had only tried to persuade him as a test. Since it didn't work, she could only find a way to confirm the Crown King's attitude as soon as possible.

If the Crown King is truly in collusion with the Demon Descendant Elves, she must make plans early.

……

The discussion within the temporary stronghold did not last long.

Xierdalanna was in a hurry to go back to investigate more information about the mysterious organization, as well as the most important thing—the Crown King's attitude. As for the other elf, Andaluosike, he was in a hurry to go back and privately confirm some information with Xierdalanna.

On the human side, Puman was also in a hurry to report to the Seven Towers. As for Xia Duo, he did not need to report to anyone, but he had a pile of things waiting for him to do, and the appearance of the Demon Descendant Elves also added another layer of worry for him regarding the future.

Although it had only been a few days since he last asked Iolum about the progress of the War Spell research, he still decided to make a trip to Seventon when he returned to ask again.

In addition, he would also take the opportunity to ask Iolum for intelligence regarding the Demon Descendant Elves. Although he promised Xierdalanna not to disclose it to others, Iolum's status is what it is; the Seven Towers would likely share intelligence with him, so if he mentioned it in advance, it would not count as disclosing it to others.

Furthermore, Xia Duo knew very well that what Xierdalanna meant by not disclosing it to others was more about not making it public, rather than not mentioning it to anyone at all.

……

Returned to Seventon.

Puman's figure disappeared immediately, presumably to report the situation to Badijiaer. Xia Duo did not bother with him and headed straight to Iolum's Study.

Inside the study, seeing Xia Duo arrive, Iolum immediately stood up from behind the desk, "The operation didn't go well and you gave up? Where is Buluode? Didn't he come back with you?"

"The operation went very smoothly, it's just that some circumstances were too unexpected. I wanted to tell you, Teacher, as soon as possible. Buluode returned to the Kangqi Plain after our operation ended."

"I see."

Knowing the operation went smoothly, Iolum felt a bit more at ease and did not continue to press, but thinking of the unexpected circumstances Xia Duo mentioned, he immediately became interested again and asked curiously:

"What happened that even you felt surprised?"

"Teacher, have you heard of Demon Descendant Elves?"

"Demon Descendant Elves?"

Iolum repeated this somewhat unfamiliar term a few times, then laughed out loud, "You mean the mixed-blood descendants of elves and demons? That bunch of long-ears who are arrogant to the bone actually took a fancy to demons? I am very curious about how they thought of that and how they managed to do it!"
