Seeing Lena's appearance, Patrick also changed his tone: "Then tell me about the real purpose of your coming here." ”

Lena was surprised at first that her thoughts were seen through by Patrick, but as a female mage who has traveled all year round, she instantly adjusted her state: "Lord Regent, this ancient city has a treasure left by the Night Elves, and I already knew this information when Dalaran was a bounty hunter, and then I kept investigating in the territory of humans and minotaurs, and I determined that the treasure can be found in the central garden of the Hammer of Doom now, but because it has been occupied by the Ogre army and the Satyr army, It is impossible for me alone to obtain treasures from these enemies, so I asked the Lord Regent to help. ”

It seems like the real thing. Patrick wasn't sure what Lena's true intentions were, and Patrick had the impression that this golden horse was indeed a hot thing in the past, and that Lena had every reason to come here as a bounty hunter to fear the warhorse.

But.

Patrick looked at the soul of the dreaded warhorse: "You are a mage, how can you control this powerful demon soul?" And after collecting the soul of the Dreaded Horse, you have to re-materialize it before you can use it, and when you use it, you also need to fight against the erosion of those evil energy, etc., etc., etc., there are many flaws like this, Lena Claisph Inbass, what are you hiding? ”

Hearing Patrick pronounce her full name, the Fire Maiden instantly thought of the regent in front of her, the leader of Quel'Thalas, not the human nobles, and he wanted to know all the details too simply.

And Patrick's final questioning made both Liadline and Eri question Lena, especially Erri, and the Grand Karcist didn't understand why Lena used soul fragments to repair the black magnet herself to ensure the stability of the summoning circle.

Lena is a mage, these summoning arrays are obviously made by demons, and even if they are made, the mage can't use them, and the brilliance of the shadow of the staff in the hand of Eri, who feels deceived, will be drowned in the shadow as long as Patrick says a word.

Seeing that her life was threatened, Lena was a little unwilling, but helpless: "Okay, Lord Regent, this is all the information about the Hammer of Doom, and the only part I gave you last time was not comprehensive. ”

As she spoke, Lena took out another arcane scroll, and as the mana slowly flowed in, the image displayed by the scroll represented everything.

Lena was a little timid, and looked at the blood knights around her: "Lord Regent, in fact, the treasures I want to find are several ancient weapons that have been handed down by Eresaras to this day--- the ancient tree predator and Quircella, although these two weapons have always been heard of, but no one has seen them appear, until I confirmed from those adventurers that the ancient tree predator is in the hands of the Goddock ogre, and the news of Quelsella is in the central library of Eresaras, I want to go to Eresaras to find it, so I will ask the Lord Regent to accompany me." ”

Patrick couldn't deny it: "And what about this fearful war horse?" ”

"This is just my trick to make you think that my purpose is this Dreadhorse, and then find an opportunity to leave the party and secretly follow you in search of the Ancient Tree Predator and Quirsella, and while you clear Erezaras, I will also search for the whereabouts of these two weapons in the shadows without knowing it. That's why I didn't come to Eresaras with you at the beginning, but I've only said part of it. ”

I have to say that Lena is indeed smart and understands human nature. She had a clear arrangement as early as when she invited Patrick to come with her, and she also knew that Patrick would definitely see that she had her own personal plans, so she made this series of preparations early in the morning.

What she said was not a lie, on the contrary, she was telling the truth, and not a word was false. This is the highest level of falsehood, and simply making things up will only expose oneself to the point of passivity; Although it is a relatively clever means to cover up a false story with a large number of truths, there is also a risk of being exposed; And what Lena said was all true, but she didn't tell the whole truth, and under her hints and behaviors, she let others deduce her "hidden" plan by themselves, preconceived thinking that she was in control of the overall situation, but she didn't know that these were all within her calculations.

It's a triple trap.

Lena's original plan was that when the Dreadhorse was summoned, if Patrick turned his face, it was normal for Lena to be a bounty hunter and have some plans of his own for money, plus he was a fellow Quel'Thalas, Lena was sure that Lord Regent would not kill him, but he would definitely drive himself away, and at this time he could escape into the shadows, so that the Regent could attract the attention of those Night Elves and ogres.

If Patrick doesn't turn his face, on the surface Lena has already got what he wants, just find an excuse to leave the map of the Hammer of Doom and leave the army, and Patrick has no reason to stop him, so that he can also escape into the shadows and capture the ancient tree predator and Quirsella.

As for the fear horse, the second ring that was planned from the beginning, as a foreshadowing for the plan to protect the third ring, it was dispensable for Lina, and her deepest target was naturally the two core weapons of the ancient tree natural enemy and Quirsella, but she didn't expect a perfect plan to be seen through by Patrick.

Patrick couldn't help but applaud: "You are really a genius female mage, everything is in your plan, even the greed of the human heart is calculated. ”

Looking at the shadow power on the Eri staff, Lena was a little embarrassed: "Regent...... Lord Regent has won the prize. ”

"Eri-san, you cast the spell in your hand first." After receiving the order of the regent, Eri revoked the magic that was ready to be unleashed, and still looked at Lena with a cold face.

"Lina-Klesph-Imbas, you have a main goal, you can tell me directly, you don't need to make such a roundabout and let me guess for myself, although you gave us the map, it feels very uncomfortable to be deceived." Patrick spread out his spiritual horizon, and the powerful arcane energy overflowed to all the surrounding places, and the dimensional anchor and space prohibition all blocked Lena, and now the fire girl is like a imprisoned lamb. "What should be the crime of offending the regent in Silvermoon City?"

"Lord Regent, since His Majesty King Anastarian himself ruled in those days, there was no regent, but more than 500 years ago, an elf drunkenly offended the chairman of Señor-Sunwing at a banquet in the Tower of the Sunrage, and was sentenced to be cut off the title of nobility and imprisoned for three hundred years." As she spoke, Liadline looked at Lena, "If a commoner offends Lord Regent, even if he is exempted from the death penalty, he will be sentenced to fifteen hundred years in prison as an example." ”

Patrick's heart was stumbling, the elven view of time was really different, and 1500 years in prison was simply too much. Although Patrick has become the regent, the responsibility of the entire elf clan makes Patrick no longer have the kind of thoughts that he had when he was still a little mage of the Three Rings, but some of the living habits he had developed in his previous life were really difficult to change, and subconsciously, Patrick still lived with the concept of human time, and he was really shocked to hear this 1500 years.
