Chapter 766: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
The elven ranger who appeared in front of Ellie, needless to say, was naturally another identity that Jenn had changed. And the reason why he returned to the Elven Forest as "Jenny" again was that there was only one goal -- that is, Klein.
Jenn had the idea after learning from Patilina's report that Klein was now officially fighting against the Templar. After all, Klein had the last tablet of destiny he needed most, and this tablet of destiny was to be obtained no matter what. Based on Patilina's reports on the movements of the Necromantic Legion, Jenn could be sure that Klein had come to the front and taken over the command of the operation himself. After all, only Klein would have made such a steady and unequivocal strategy, and he had confirmed to Tinidel that he was sure that his guess was correct. It seems that while the elves and the Templar are busy fending off the attack, the final boss has quietly arrived backstage, just waiting for the curtain to open.
After breaking the [Sky Army], Jenn is also full of self-confidence at the moment, just like the first thing players in the game do after reaching the full level is to go to the boss for revenge. It's not a matter of a day or two that Jenn wants to clean up Klein, in fact, since he was born, Jenn's relationship with Klein has been incompatible. This is not because of personal vendettas, but simply because of personality incompatibility. It's just that because of the absolute difference in strength, Jenn has never taken the initiative to provoke Klein, because that would only bring humiliation on himself. As for Klein, Jenn's younger brother is probably the same as the skeleton soldiers in his undead legion, and he has no sense of existence at all. Let alone. The philosophies of the two sides are even more polar.
Jenn's idea was to use all the power at his disposal, in his opinion. Power is power, whether it's someone else's or your own. As long as it is used properly and can achieve the goal, then everything is OK. But Klein's idea is the complete opposite, he only trusts his own power, and in his opinion, no existence other than himself can be trusted. And the use of external objects to achieve ends is only the work of the weak.
And Jenn, who was beaten into the ranks of the "weak" by Klein, was naturally quite unhappy with this, and he preferred to call this the power of "wisdom" rather than the desire of the weak. On the contrary, Klein's insecure, muscular way of thinking is the real stupidity. The higher he climbed, the worse he fell, and Jenn would never mind seeing him fall into meat sauce in person.
And the conflict between the two brothers is also a typical conflict between the demon kings of the lower realm, and some demon kings prefer to use intrigues to achieve their goals, because it will make them feel a sense of intellectual suppression and superiority. While the other demon kings prefer to use their strong strength to crush the past head-on, they like to see the despair and anger of those demon kings who claim to be smart in the face of unstoppable power.
And for the latter, that kind of contempt for their own intelligence is absolutely intolerable.
Although Jenn connected and raised the sons of Vivien and Nabelius, Klein still dismisses him. And what makes Jenn even more unhappy is that his statement is really correct, which makes people angry.
But now......... It's almost time to get revenge.
Jenn certainly wasn't trying to kill Klein by using the Templar and the Elves, as that would be an impossible task. Klein's strength is strong. Unless Nabellius and Vivien join forces, they have no chance of winning. And with Jenn's own strength, it is naturally impossible to kill him.
But why did Jenn kill him? As long as you can find that Tablet of Destiny and achieve your goals. Nothing about the process. Just looking at the results, this is the way smart people behave. Unlike Klein, the idiot who not only wants the result, but also the process must be the same as he expects......... To this kind of person. Jenn can only hehe.
The art of war is to achieve the goal and prevent the enemy from achieving the goal as much as possible. That's the basic point. So for Jenn, if he can get Klein into the quagmire of war in the Elven Forest. And to achieve his own ends, then he can mock Klein and despise him to death.
However, in order to do it, it is necessary to sharpen the tools first, and it is also necessary to conduct a personal investigation before proceeding. But Jenn wasn't willing to come in his original identity, and if Klein found out, the devil knows if he would get into any big trouble. Although it is said that Klein has ignored Jenn in the past, the problem is that it is a demon king ceremony now, and he doesn't know what Klein's exam questions are.
In this case, this "false identity" is naturally the best disguise.
And the facts have also proved that Jenn's choice was correct.
"Hello, Miss Windranger."
Of course, Ellie didn't know the true identity of the elf ranger in front of her, and hurriedly saluted her respectfully.
"Thank you so much for saving us, please......... How did you end up here? ”
In the face of Ellie's slightly puzzled question, Jenn-Jenny shrugged her shoulders and then gave an answer without care.
"Because I don't have anywhere else to go, do I?"
"This ..............."
Hearing the Elven Ranger's answer in front of her, Ellie couldn't help but froze, and then she remembered that the Naga priest had told her that the Elven Ranger's background was a little strange, her clan was destroyed by the Dark Elves, and in order to avenge her people, the young elf himself ran to the Dark Regions, where he spent a long time before returning to the surface. Originally, she was supposed to be able to get a place in the Elven Forest. It was only because of that conflict that he finally left. This must be a painful memory for me............
"I'm so sorry I was rude........."
Thinking of this, Ellie lowered her head again and solemnly apologized to Jenny. In the face of Ellie's words, Jenny waved her hand. At the same time, she casually glared at Patilina, who was hiding behind everyone with eyes narrowed like crescents. Others may not be able to see Jenn's disguise, but Patilina, as a summoned hero unit, will naturally have a sense of the dungeon master. So when Jenn appeared, the little guy had actually guessed the true identity of the "elf girl" in front of him. Because of this, at this moment, Patilina was hiding behind and facing Jenn with all kinds of eyebrows, obviously teasing him. Jenn, on the other hand, was completely unimpressed by it -- he was used to it anyway, and he was used to it.
"Don't worry, Your Highness the Holy Maiden, I'm used to this kind of thing, but you shouldn't just go out and walk around, it's very dangerous outside."
"That's what we're here for."
Hearing this, Ellie also regained her solemn and serious expression.
"It's not a secret, we came to check on because we received information that there were undead activities around here, and our patrol was also attacked by unknown enemies, so in order to avoid accidents, I brought people here to check ............" As she spoke, Ellie asked as she looked at the elven ranger in front of her. ……… Pardon me, Miss Windranger, do you know something? ”
"I do know something."
Hearing Ellie's words, Jenny also nodded. She wasn't lying at this point, in fact, after returning to the Elven Forest as Jenny again, Jenn didn't immediately choose to appear in front of everyone because she stumbled upon something strange. That's why she followed the trajectory to search. It's just that I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck, but I actually met Ellie and the others here -- it should be considered lucky.
Thinking of this, Jenny smiled deep in her heart before she continued.
"In fact, I've seen a bunch of undead creatures dressed in adventurer's costumes, and it's because I suspect their purpose that I've tracked them all the way here."
"Adventurer!"
Hearing Jenny's answer, Ellie and the others immediately cheered up. Didn't they come here to find the members of the mercenary group who had been transformed into undead? And if what the elven ranger in front of him said is true, then ......... Thinking of this, Ellie also hurriedly looked at the distorted corpses behind her.
"Miss Windranger, do you know where those people have gone? And about these paladins......... Did they do it too? ”
Although it sounds like a question, looking at Ellie's expression, it seems that this has been taken as an established fact. But unfortunately, Jenny's answer was unexpected.
"Of course I know where the undead went, in fact, Her Highness. From what I've gathered, it's not the undead that attacked these paladins, but a bunch of strange things. And, I'm sure the undead didn't come here to attack the paladins, but to find that strange thing. ”
"What?"
Hearing this, Ellie couldn't help but be surprised. She had meant that it was all the work of the undead. But I didn't expect things to turn out completely differently than I thought. The undead weren't here to attack patrols, but to find something. And it was the very thing they were looking for that attacked the patrol and turned them into such monsters?
Ellie frowned as she thought, and then she turned to look at the strange and twisted wreckage again, her eyes flashing with a look of distress.
It seems that things are far more complicated than you think. (To be continued.) )
