Chapter 378
378 This Isn’t My Problem
Selma Payne’s POV:
“As this evil power concentrate has to be left for a more important target. This means they will make another attack in the future, and the consequences may be even more serious than the attack in the Elven Capital City. After all, there is no Elf King in other places!
“Although the Mother Tree of Nature has never appeared on the list of sacrifices in history, it does have the qualifications to be the raw material for constructing Azazel’s body based on its powerful and precious power. So, I think the next move of Azazel’s party will still be for something with great potential.”
Dorothy said thoughtfully, “If you want to build a body that can withstand a divine descent, the more life force the raw material has, the more resilient and stronger the body will be. The most famous specialty of the elves is the large number of natural plants that are full of vitality and have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. These are all high-quality raw materials!”
I nodded. “That’s right. Also, since he’s been marked, I don’t think the other wanderers can escape. After all, the Goddess of Nature’s power can’t only mark one intruder, right? She would not let anyone escape. Therefore, it is very likely that all the members of Azazel’s party wandering in the Elf Forest are trapped here. This means that even if items from other regions are on their list of sacrifices, they have no choice but to find substitutes from the Elf Forest!”
After the logic was clear, everything was easy to explain. As long as the entire elven race was on high alert, there would be no place for Azazel’s party to hide unless they could get Azazel to create a folded space for them to hide.
However, the Elf Forest was not like the Rocky Mountains. This was the territory of the Goddess of Nature, just like how the werewolves were the territory of the Moon Goddess. The demon’s power could not be used freely in someone else’s home. Otherwise, the wanderers led by Locke, who believed in Leviathan, could hide anywhere and not be caught even after hundreds of years.
Therefore, capturing Azazel’s party was inevitable as long as the elves were on alert and searched throughout the entire elven territory.
However, the problem returned to the current situation of the elven race. It was already good enough for the divided and restless forces to maintain superficial peace and not fight each other. It was difficult to unite.
Besides, I was a werewolf. Why would they listen to me? I heard that many nobles and officials were very dissatisfied with the interim government’s invitation to ‘assist in eliminating the wanderers. In this way, the option of lobbying through the interim government was impossible.
I had no choice but to contact my father for help, hoping he could give me some advice based on his experience.
However, my father was not optimistic about this. He said bluntly, “No matter what method you use, you can’t avoid contact with the local forces of the elven race. However, our bottom line is not to get involved in the internal affairs of the elven race. Once you have any actual contact with any force, this bottom line will be broken, and your image in the eyes of the elves will be completely reversed.
“Once you change from ‘insignificant guests’ to ‘powerful foreign aid’, you’ll be instantly drawn into the vortex of power struggles within the elven race. By then, it’ll be difficult for you to leave even if you want to, and your lives may even be in danger.”
I had to admit that father was right. No matter if I hired someone to persuade them or if I went to convince them myself, I would come into contact with the elven leaders. Benefits need to be exchanged. I had a request to ask of them, so I had to exchange it for something of equal value. What could make the power-seeking forces more envious than the werewolf pack’s external help?
At this time, the elves were not xenophobic. Interests were the strongest link that tied people to the same boat. However, as the old saying goes, ‘It’s easy to go through difficulties together, but it’s also easy to share blessings and difficulties.’ If I were to go crazy and conspire with a particular force, I was afraid that I’d encounter an even more unsolvable problem after they won.
I was here to solve problems, not to create more problems!
I lowered my head in dejection as I thought about it, but then I suddenly thought of something...
Wait a minute!
Why would I exchange it for the interests of the werewolves?
The current situation was that Azazel’s party was lurking in the elven territory and would launch one or more attacks. In the end, the trouble was the elves’ problem. They could either work together to solve the problem or wait to see who was the unlucky one to be attacked. Why should I take responsibility?
Also, why would I need to find an intermediary or persuade them individually? Wouldn’t it be better to gather the people together? They learned of the bad news together and decided whether to continue the internal strife or unite to resist the foreign enemy first.
I didn’t have to step up. The interim government could act as the leader. Even if it had no real power, it didn’t matter because this only needed an initiator who had the leadership in name.
