Chapter 1094 16. The most contactable Ellie
“You jump, and I jump too.”
When Jack on the curtain said these time-honored words to Ruth, A figure sat next to Ellie, the wood elf elder who was immersed in the story.
"Do you still like it?"
"I like it so much...I know this is fake...but how did you find so many mice to cooperate with you?" Already watching the third chapter Ellie said confusedly.
"We have an illusionist."
Ellie looked enlightened.
“Aren’t you going to see other magical images?” Annan, who was sitting next to him, asked again.
The purpose of his coming here is simple - to get close to the elf elders.
Compared to the arrogant Galandra and the cold Fioria, the lively Ellie seems to be the most approachable.
It's not because she is shorter than Annan.
Annan gently stroked his broken hair. He was very confident in his charm. He thought that the wood elf elder who had watched "The Fall of the Mage Tower" twice was inextricable——
"Because I'm very curious about these mice... I won't be curious if I know they are fake." Ellie stood up and said, "Let's go see other magical images!"
Annan followed the wood elf out with some embarrassment. Introduction: "What kind of story do you like? Love, human beings, life, war, or fables?"
"Life?"
"It's "When Freedom Knocks on the Door", which tells the story of an orc father and son living in human society."
"Hmm...like "The Adventures of the Tarot Man"? I'm a little interested."< br>
Annan took Ellie to the hall where "Freedom Knocks on the Door" was being screened, while looking for a topic: "What is "The Adventures of the Tarot Man"?"
"Also an underground person. I accidentally ran into a human town and experienced a lot of adventures.”
“I think there are some differences.”
They were lucky. The magic video had just started and the auditorium was about 30% full. Annan led Ellie to sit in the front row. The light and shadow reflected Ellie's delicate face. She stared at the picture and gradually became immersed in it.
When she saw the orc father and son huddled in the stall of the public toilet, leaning against the door, covering their sleeping son's ears, suffering silently, Ellie couldn't help but whisper like a girl: "What happened to them in the end? Don't tell me yet... I want to see it myself."
Two hours later, Ellie breathed a sigh of relief.
The emotion of "When Freedom Knocks on the Door" is not intense, like a piece of pastry that is not too sweet, but this light warmth is just in line with the taste of an immortal species like an elf.
Annan took the opportunity and said: "Chris and his son are in Liberty City. Do you want to meet them?"
Ellie was a little moved, but still refused: "They are also fake, right? Let me keep a trace of my beautiful fantasy."
Annan wanted to lie to her and tell her that it was adapted from a true story, but the picture The cheeks of his mouth made it difficult for him to lie.
"I stayed at the theater all morning, let's go out and have a look."
"Okay."
Annan accompanied Ellie out and just walked outside the theater In the open space where the catering truck was sitting, a woman's angry shout suddenly sounded in the distance.
"Olaya, suffer death!"
Annan looked up and looked in the direction of the sound. He was blocked by the crowd and could not see anything clearly. Then the guards and enthusiastic residents rushed there.
From the chatter of the crowd in front, I learned that a noble was assassinated and the murderer had been caught.
Annan frowned. Liberty City has always prided itself on being safe, and the prison has not held serious criminals for 190 consecutive days... How could a murder suddenly appear, in front of distinguished guests?
It was impossible to hide anymore. Annan and the curious Ellie said, "Let's go over and have a look."
Several layers of people gathered at the scene, and Annan also saw Ingrid, who was leading Sigma and the others, standing not far away. The guards who maintained order dispersed the crowd, and when they saw Annan, they led him into the center.
Annan saw the assassin - an ordinary girl with hatred in her eyes, staring at the well-dressed man lying in a pool of blood.
She didn't resist and just let the guards kill her.
“What happened?”
Neither the guards stationed at the theater nor the murderer expected to alert Annan. Her joy of getting her revenge was mixed with a hint of guilt: "Olaya imposed heavy taxes and killed my parents, and hung up my younger brother who went to ask for an explanation and whipped him to death. He died and came to Liberty City to take refuge...I...just couldn't bear it..."
"Actually, I quite support justice and revenge..."
The girl raised her head in surprise. But Annan shook his head with regret and said: "But the "Free City Code" cannot be violated. If you kill someone, it is a felony..."
"I know...I don't want to live..." the girl murmured .
“Why can’t she be allowed to live?” Ellie suddenly said.
The surrounding guards and the crowd looked away from Annan and focused on the petite elf with buds growing at his feet.
“Isn’t it normal to retaliate in kind?”
Elves have their own moral standards. Don't think that they are too peace-loving - it is true on the surface, they like art, music, literature... But how can a peace-loving race rule Wilhelm for 40,000 years?
The root cause, in addition to the powerful gods of the elven pantheon, is that the elves practice tooth for tooth and eye for eye: You have provoked us, we pursue peace, and we are not the same as you. But if you continue to tempt, the elves will turn your homes into forests and yourselves into fertilizers for the forests.
No one can violate the "Code of Free City", not even Annan, but if it is an elf messenger...
"You are right. If the law cannot protect the victim, then lynching is just from this moment on." Annan said to the girl with a righteous attitude: "If you can get the understanding of the victim's family, I can consider-" "
"It... hurts..."
At this time, the nobleman who was lying in a pool of blood suddenly let out a cry of pain.
“The victim is not dead yet!”
Annan changed his words and said: “If you obtain the victim’s forgiveness, I can consider reducing your guilt.”
After tearing open a magic scroll to help the noble heal his wounds, the girl stiffened her neck and pursed her lips.
Annan had nothing to do with her and looked at the noble who had lost too much blood and looked pale.
For some reason, the noble suddenly felt a shadow like that of Master Olmei, and his whole body trembled: "I... don't blame her, I should repent. I have done many wrong things in the past... I I am willing to compensate her..."
Even now, he dare not say anything else.
Annan was very satisfied with the noble's response and signaled the guards to take the two of them to the prison. Ellie, who showed great interest in them, followed them.
"Sorry, I made you see the bad side."
"Don't say that, you are already better than many human towns."
"But not the best yet."
Following to Liberty City Prison, as soon as she reached the door, Ellie suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Annan looked back at her and looked in the direction she was looking at: another group of guards came over with a man dressed as a refugee.
The high elf elder Kelandra quickly lowered his head to avoid their gazes.
"It's nothing." Ellie turned her head.
"Oh... By the way, I'm asking the team to rehearse the new rules you suggested. It should be ready in a few days..."
