Rules are the hardest to change.

Whether this rule is a family rule or a national rule.

Comparatively speaking, the family rules are a little bit better, after all, there are fewer people involved, and the national rules are different.

The habits of a country are established by many generations, and if the personality of these people belongs to the grass on the wall, it is fine, but the most feared thing is stubborn and strong, like a buffalo that has recognized the dead reason.

Unfortunately, elves are such a race.

At this time, it was late at night, and I was sitting in the study of Elder Sonoda's old house, and Elder Sonoda Mai was sitting across from me, her slightly wrinkled face with a little apology.

After a long silence, she said, "I'm sorry, the edict was not approved. ”

"Ah......" I was a little regretful, sighed, and said: "That's really a pity, but it's not your fault, after all, this is the tradition of the elf race, and it is the rule set by your ancestors, how can you say that you can change it." ”

"You can understand, I thank you," Mai Sonoda nodded at me, and then she looked up at me and said, "There is a sentence that may be rude to say. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"From what I know of you, even if Her Majesty's edict is not approved, you will still find a way to sneak into the burial ground."

When Elder Sonoda said these words, her eyes lit up, and she was very confident.

"Yes," I am not going to deny: "You are right, even if there is no edict from the Empress, I will find out where the bones are buried, and sneak in to find out." ”

"Can you tell me why you're doing this?" Elder Sonoda Mai said seriously: "So persistent, so stubborn, you are a human race, you should know how to be flexible more than us, and know how to move in the direction that is beneficial to you, instead of doing a thankless thing." ”

"You're right," I said, "I am indeed a Terran, and I do have all the qualities that a Terran should have, lust, greed, selfishness, these are all part of my emotions as a person, but I want to say that your view of the Terran is biased, and the Terran is not only lust, greed and selfishness, but also emotion, compassion and devotion, although these seem insignificant to me, but they are also there, don't they?" ”

Elder Sonoda Mai was silent for a moment, she raised her head and said with a slight doubt: "I want to know, what you are going to do in the future is out of emotion, sympathy, or dedication?" ”

"It's all three, but it's a little bit more."

"You know, what you are doing is challenging the entire elf race, even if you really think about them, but in the end, you may not be able to get the understanding of any of them, do you think, is it worth it?"

Elder Sonoda's expression was very serious, so serious that even I felt a little restrained.

"In fact, I did all this not for the sake of the elves, but for the sake of my fiancées, my family, and my friends."

After pondering the words, I continued: "Whether it is Moonlight City, Castle Vechic, Dasai City, Ari City, or Yorkham City, in short, none of us can escape this world, if we let the filth go unand let it grow freely, it may not be long before every corner of this continent will hide a monster made of carrion, full of eyes, or maybe more disgusting monsters, and then our lives will become trembling, For fear that a disgusting and powerful monster will emerge from somewhere and take our lives and devour our flesh and blood, such a life is terrible to think about. ”

"And," I frowned, "a temporary block may play a role, but after all, human energy is limited, one day, we will not be able to stop the erosion of these monsters, and at that time, what will this Zephyr Continent become, uh...... I don't want to think about it. ”

Elder Sonoda Mai let out a long breath, then closed her eyes and pondered, and just when I thought she was asleep, she suddenly spoke, "When are you going to bury the bones?" ”

I spread my hands: "Unfortunately, it is impossible to estimate it in the near future. ”

"Why?"

"I don't even know where the bones are buried, how to get there!"

"I can help you draw a map of the location of the bones," said the elder, "but you have to make sure that you don't let anyone other than you see it." ”

"Huh? I can understand it as...... Are you helping me? ”

"No, like you, I'm just for my family, my friends, and my people."

"Hey" I smiled, "Looks like you and I are a good match." ”

"I don't think it's a joy to be in tune with you," Mai Sonoda said lightly.

"Don't say that, I'm honored to be with you," I said, I stood up and asked her, "So, Elder Sonoda, when are you going to give me the location map of the burial ground?" ”

"Three days later," said the elder, "three days later, this room will still be here, you can come and get it." ”

Leaving Elder Sonoda's house, I was in a relaxed mood, although I didn't get the Elven Empress's edict, but at least I got the approval of one of the Elven Clan's authorities, so things would be much easier.

Speaking of which, I had been worried that it would not be easy if all the elven higher-ups opposed my actions.

Then I went to Wren's house, and in the spacious treehouse, six elf boys were doing push-ups on the ground, and they were so attentive that they didn't even notice when I entered the hall and stepped over them.

Near the wall, Wren sat on the couch reading the newspaper, his eyes never taking off the newspaper from the time I entered the room, as if he had not noticed my arrival.

Walking to Wren's side, I sat on the sofa casually, and at this time, Wren spoke: "Come here so late, what's the matter?" ”

"Something," I said, "Do you know where the bones of Moonlight City are?" ”

"Know something" he raised his eyelids and glanced at me, "You're going to rob the tomb?" Or stealing corpses? ”

"Not at all," I said, "Not long ago, there were quite a few monsters made of carrion near the Imperial Tomb in the Elven Forest, and I wanted to find out if it was possible that the carrion was lost in the burial ground." ”

"Do you know the number of bones in the bones?" Wren asked.

"I don't know."

"How do you go about it?"

"I'm not going to count, I'm going to check the area around the boneyard to see if there's any trace."

"You mean corpse fluid?"

"Well, that's one of those points where traces might be found," I said, "but I'm not sure if the man who made the monster would clean it up." ”
