He paused, turned his head to meet the gaze of the forest ranger who was bending slightly, and nodded gently: "Although we elves live deep in this dense forest year-round, we are not completely ignorant of the ways of the world. If you guests are willing, and are willing to respect some of the customs of our settlement as much as possible, you are welcome to stay in the settlement for a period of time."
"Of course, the accommodations and food provided for you may differ from your usual preferences, but at least you don't need to worry, and we hope you'll enjoy them. If there's anything else you'd like, we'll do our best to fulfill it within our capabilities..."
The look in their eyes conveyed their sincere intentions, but now that the groundwork had been laid, all that remained was to set the table properly.
Nodding, then shaking my head, I looked into their suddenly tense gazes, sighed softly, and lowered my voice: "While I am very grateful for your care, this is a turbulent time, and the sudden appearance of people from outside must be quite difficult for you, right?"
The elven elder looked puzzled, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a clear look of confusion on the faces of the forest rangers, who obviously couldn't understand what he was talking about.
I continued calmly, "Of course, this doesn't mean we're planning to leave as soon as possible. You only allowed us in because you reluctantly agreed to our request in the first place, so why would you say you want to leave immediately? Of course, even if we said that, I doubt you'd let us go, would you?"
Vigilance and suspicion were evident on their faces, and the two elves nodded involuntarily.
Sure enough, the conversation after the bomb was moved was comfortable.
Even though those in charge of the overall situation may seem somewhat naive in comparison, it doesn't mean they lack the capacity for logical thinking; they simply need someone to guide them.
I tapped the table, gently nuzzled the little guy who was looking up at me, and said, "On the way here, we happened to hear about some things that happened in your settlements. However, due to the circumstances at the time, and because of our identities, we only heard some brief, peripheral information, and we don't know the specifics yet."
“Uh, you mean…” the elven elder hesitated.
The boy exchanged another glance with Sheng, his eyes narrowed as he smiled, and said in a serious voice, "Yes! In order to prove that we have nothing to do with this, and also to promote justice and let love bloom on this land, our team is willing to do our best to help you find the culprit as soon as possible and recover the stolen items. This will bring us closer together, so that we can all live on this land in harmony and love, like one big family, instead of causing unnecessary disputes!"
A clear, resonant voice echoed throughout the large hall, and the scene fell silent instantly.
Everyone present subconsciously held their breath during the speech, and for a moment they could only feel the clear echoes still lingering in their ears.
Staring in shock at Sheng's smug profile, I barely managed to suppress the twitching corners of my mouth, but I finally couldn't help myself and reached out to touch my forehead, which was starting to ache.
No, what happened to what he said when he was sharing the battle plan with me? Why did it suddenly turn into this? What about promoting justice, letting love bloom on the land, and bringing hearts closer together... At this moment, I sincerely wish I had never met him.
If I hadn't noticed the slight redness at the tips of his ears hidden among his blue hair, I would have truly believed that this guy was an absolute shameless person.
In short, once the words are spoken, they cannot be taken back; one can only continue speaking. And Sheng clearly has his own reasons for doing this, doesn't he?
I sighed again, then straightened up and raised my face, trying to maintain a blank expression: "Like my partner said earlier, we hope to do something to help you, instead of just quietly waiting for the unknown outcome. Although we don't know the details, we also know that everything has a time limit, and if we delay too long and miss the opportunity to solve the problem, it may bring some bad results."
Most events inherently possess the characteristic of flowing in a deteriorating direction.
This is not an exaggeration.
After all, the incident has already occurred, and this is a dungeon with quests.
Whether it's to unravel the secrets and problems hidden within this dungeon, or to ultimately obtain the necessary rewards, we need to resolve the issues as quickly as possible, rather than wasting too much time.
Otherwise, we cannot confirm the final consequences.
Whether it's the collapse of the dungeon itself, or something else.
Or perhaps, those large magical beasts that you encountered while traveling, which roam the forest, are also a potential danger.
In short, there are many possibilities, and the best solution is to resolve the current situation as soon as possible.
The elven elder seemed to have been persuaded by us. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time before finally nodding slightly: "I didn't expect that our guests from outside would worry about us, but... indeed, we don't have many people on our side."
"To put it bluntly, we've been discussing this matter ever since we received the news. If we need to assign additional people to keep an eye on you, it will obviously tie up a huge portion of our resources, which will greatly delay confirming the cause of the incident and prolong the processing time. And that's why the previous person became so agitated..."
