Redeem The Villain [Quick Travel] Chapter 23
byChapter 23 Elf Attack 23 Early stage of the crusade
The table in front of Alessi was filled with steaming meals. The guards on the side arranged the rice and left the wooden house.
The mermaid’s eyes were clear, not looking sleepy at all, and his voice was clear: “Eat first.”
Lu Qinian nodded. He originally wanted to ask Hushan what he did when he left, but he didn’t have to worry about it until after dinner.
After the meal, the guard leaned down to clean the dishes, and the whole wooden house was completely silent.
Lu Qinian asked: “What did Hushan do?”
Alessi raised his chin slightly, and what he saw was the clusters of bright and dazzling flowers outside the window: “Pick flowers.”
Lu Qinian followed his line of sight and saw the colorful flowers unique to the elves. These flowers can only grow in the elves. The only purpose for the elves is that the flowers have special colors and are very suitable for viewing and decorating wooden houses, but in fact they have no effect.
A few people from Hushan came here specially, ostensibly to get the elves to participate in the crusade, but actually for the colorful flowers??
However, the plot did not mention any information about the colorful flowers, and it did not even state in detail that the orcs came to the elves during the crusade. After all, in the plot, Thor died at the bottom of the sea, and the elves took the initiative to participate in this matter.
But right now, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Lu Qinian was silent for a while, then stood up and said, “I’m going to find grandpa.”
Others don’t know what the Elf leader should know.
Alessi didn’t make a sound, just watched silently as the elf’s figure disappeared completely.
The bamboo guard gently knocked on the wooden door: “Your Majesty, the high priest said that your poison has been cured. I want to ask you when you will return to the bottom of the sea.”
Alessi’s expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: “Let them continue to train Xiao Guoer for a while.”
The Bamboo Guard’s expression changed: “Xiao… His Highness is the illegitimate son of the former king after all, and does not meet the conditions for ascending to the throne. Besides, now…”
“Bang——”
The teacup flew out and hit Bamboo Guard on the forehead. The teacup broke into pieces in an instant. The fine pieces of porcelain cut his forehead. A stream of blood immediately poured out and covered his face in a moment. With a “pop”, Bamboo Guard knelt down and ignored the blood on his face and his eyes that were soaked with blood. His bright red eyes couldn’t stop trembling.
He had been with the elves for so long that he almost forgot the original temperament of the master in front of him.
“Am I orthodox?” Alessi’s face was cold.
After all, whose bloodline is nobler, he cut off the head of the most orthodox person on the surface.
It’s just that stepmother, where is she?
“I know my mistake.”
“Get out of here.”
“My subordinates will take care of it now.” Panic footsteps sounded.
Alessi peeled off his fingers casually: “Bring Luli here.”
“Yes.”
The bamboo guard walked out of the wooden house tremblingly, wiped the blood on his face with one hand, and ordered the subordinate beside him: “Go and bring the successor of the Deer Chief.”
The wooden house was not soundproof, so almost everyone inside the door heard clearly. The bamboo guard even had blood on his face. Several subordinates swallowed nervously, and then left the place after timidly agreeing.
The subordinates who stayed behind looked at him vaguely for many times, and finally plucked up the courage to ask: “Commander Zhu, your face… I, I’ll go get the medicine.”

After Lu Qinian left, he walked quickly towards the elf leader’s wooden house and knocked lightly on the wooden door.
“Come in.” The clan leader’s old voice came out.
Lu Qinian pushed away and walked in: “Grandpa.”
The patriarch smiled: “Come and sit.”
The Elf leader was not surprised that he would come. Lu Qinian calmed down, sat on a familiar wooden chair, and said bluntly: “Grandpa, do you know the purpose of Hushan’s coming?”
The elf leader smiled and nodded: “He probably came here after hearing what the witch doctor said.”
Lu Qinian: “Witch doctor?”
The Elf Chief did not answer, but asked: “Do you know who the second wife of the Old Man Fish King is?”
Alessi’s poison was inflicted by his stepmother in name, the old man’s second wife. Lu Qinian had known about this for a long time. He had been putting off asking Alessi until now because of his identity.
“I know.”
The Elf Clan Leader nodded: “These colorful flowers can only grow within the Elf Clan, and they reproduce very quickly. Do you know why?”
Lu Qinian had some vague guesses in his heart: “I don’t know.”
“It’s the holy tree.” The elf clan leader added, “All the vitality and affinity of the elves are the power given by the holy tree, and the colorful flowers are the nourishment of the holy tree.”
“The petals, branches and leaves of colorful flowers are the best nutrients, but they cannot be used as nutrients at the same time. When the petals and leaves collide, they will produce toxins. This toxin can cause people to have splitting headaches and bleed to death after taking a large amount. Only the petals can be treated with an antidote. This is a secret that the patriarchs of all generations need to protect.”
Lu Qinian murmured in a low voice: “The people in Hushan stole the colorful flowers to make poison.”
“The elves can’t get away with it after all.” The elf leader sighed.
The poisoned orcs need treatment, and the secret of the colorful flowers will spread quickly on the continent. The elves will not be able to isolate themselves from the world. The orcs with ulterior motives may try their best to seek benefits.
Alessi had already left when Lu Qinian returned to the cabin. If the existence of colorful flowers was a secret, then why did Alessi’s stepmother know about it?
He quickly walked into the bedroom, rummaged through the cabinet and found an empty envelope. The pen in his hand fell on the letter paper, and the ink gradually increased.
After a while, the elf opened the wooden door and handed the envelope in his hand to a strange guard in front of the door: “Where is the bamboo guard?”
The guard looked panicked: “Zhu, Commander Zhu and Your Majesty are out.”
Lu Qinian didn’t care: “Then please go to the Deer Clan, find an orc named Luli, and hand this letter to him personally.”
The guard wanted to mention that the heir of the Deer Clan was already on his way to the elves, but when he thought of the commander’s wound, he swallowed his words, nodded, accepted the letter, and left quickly.
At the same time, the running mermaid guards entered the house of the orcs of the Deer tribe late at night. Luli’s father was in his prime, and he did not need to intervene in the affairs of the tribe. He returned to the room early in the night and fell asleep.
I heard a few rustling sounds in my confusion.
A brown-haired deer man stood up unsteadily and said in a hoarse voice, “Who is it…”
There was silence in the room, and there was no response for a long time.
“Father?” Deer Man murmured again, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
But when he woke up again, he was already moving quickly in the forest.
*
From that day on, there were several beast roars in the forest every few hours, which shocked all the elves and walked together when they went out. At the same time, Alexi also became very busy and did not show up for several days in a row.
In the past half month, Lu Qinian has taken over all the affairs of the Elf clan, and he has been very busy. He finally had some leisure today. After cleaning the wooden house roughly, he remembered the envelope sent half a month ago.
Lu Qinian pushed open the wooden door. The bamboo guard on the stairs was holding a simple kettle to water his beloved flowers. In the past, the guards would tie their hair into a ponytail, and the mermaid in front of him had a forehead smear.
“Why did the Bamboo Guard come to wipe his forehead?”
Bamboo Guard: “…”
He smiled painfully and quickly changed the subject: “Holy Son, are you asking about the orcs of the Deer Tribe?”
Lu Qinian: “Yes, is there any news?”
The bamboo guard put down the kettle in his hand and said, “Don’t worry, Holy Son. The time is probably within the next few days.”
He specially sent the envelope to His Majesty for a look before sending it out. Unexpectedly, His Majesty did not open it, but the deer man received it and went around many groups with the guards who went forward. This back and forth wasted time.
In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Qinian returned to the cabin after handling his affairs.
The crusade will be about next month. During this period, Alessi has not come back. He is probably busy with this matter. Coupled with the information he currently has in his hands, as long as Luli brings back what he needs in the letter, he will definitely be able to stop the crusade.
The task is completed.
When he thought of this, Lu Qinian felt a little depressed.
The house was completely empty. He hadn’t seen Alessi for half a month. Lu Qinian missed him quite a bit. After a while, he heard cheers coming from outside the wooden house.
Several elves were excitedly surrounding Luli, happily cheering for their old friends, which was completely different from the attitudes of the tiger clan members who came here.
“Luli, why are you here!”
“Oh my god, I didn’t expect to see you again.”
“What’s that red thing on you? Are you injured? I have a lot of powder at home. You can go back with me to treat the wound.”
Luli couldn’t resist the enthusiasm. His face turned red and he said, “There is no injury. This is the color stained by the fruit juice on the road. I’m here to find Saul.”
An elf pointed at the wooden house not far away and said, “That’s the house. He should be at home.”
“Thank you.” Luli smiled sweetly and walked towards the cabin.
The wooden door opened from the inside out. The short-haired elf’s eyes were filled with surprise. Luli smiled and said, “Holy Son, long time no see.”
Luli was covered in dust, and the clothes on his upper body were stained with a lot of red juice. The gray marks on his pants looked like they were left after a fall. His whole body was frizzy and he could tell that he had been running for half a month.
Lu Qinian’s eyes widened. He carefully observed to make sure that the deer man in front of him was not injured before he felt relieved: “Why are you here?”
Luli didn’t speak, his eyes twitched wildly as the conscious spirit looked behind him.
The guards bowed respectfully to Lu Qinian: “Holy Son, the orcs of the Deer Tribe were brought here by His Majesty. Since the orcs have arrived at the Elf Tribe, I will leave.”
After saying that, he consciously left the vicinity of the cabin.
Before the letter was sent, Lu Qinian knew that the Bamboo Guards would not do things for him without telling Alessi. The content of the letter was only information about the crusade. He was not afraid that Alessi would read it, but he did not expect that Alessi would kidnap the Deer Man in advance.
Lu Qinian sighed in his heart, Alessi was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
After Luli walked into the wooden house, he carefully looked around. When he didn’t see the figure, he lowered his voice and asked, “Is he not here?”
Lu Qinian nodded: “No, let’s sit here and chat.”
Deer Man carefully sat on the wooden chair, and was instantly startled when he saw the ornaments on the table: “A-is this his thing?”
Lu Qinian looked down and saw that the item was the tooth of the one-eyed tiger a month ago. He said calmly: “No, this is the tooth of the one-eyed tiger.”
Then a quilt of hot tea was placed in front of Luli.
Lu Li took a few sips of the hot tea and said, “That tiger killed many orcs of our tribe. Fortunately, you shot him dead.” After taking a few sips, he put the teacup back to its original position.
Knowing that the tyrant was no longer around, Lu Li curled up his lips and complained aggrievedly: “Did you know?! Alessi actually tied me out! If you hadn’t written the letter, I almost thought I would die soon. I have already taken care of the things you told me.”
As he spoke, he took out several items wrapped in animal skins from the package behind his back: “Now the orcs from the Deer Tribe, Sheep Tribe, Rabbit Tribe, or Bird Tribe have not agreed to participate in the crusade. They are all surrounded by their tribes to prevent wild beasts. If it weren’t for Alessi’s guards, I wouldn’t be able to get here.”
Lu Qinian picked up a package and was slightly startled after opening it.
This package was filled with evidence that the orcs were killed by ferocious beasts.
Lu Li was worried: “Now all the ethnic groups that did not agree to the crusade were seriously injured. On the way here, I found that the elves were also tightly surrounded. Fortunately, you elves have magic, so they did not dare to kill the elves. If…”
Lu Li pursed his lips and said nothing more.
The real reason is probably because of Alessi.
Lu Qinian put away the package and said, “Don’t worry, the matter will be resolved soon.”
