Master Overlord - Chapter 376
Elif described Arthur’s request as his own charity, and Issa believed him. After all, no one would buy a large number of children as slaves, especially what she saw with her own eyes. Among the children sent away, there were many naughty children who could only cry.
Seeing that Issa’s face was slightly gentle, elif continued respectfully: “Miss Issa, you know me. Although I’m only a businessman, I don’t care to compare with a traitor in the Kingdom like gulbin. The reason why he was exiled by the Duke of the south is that he broke his oath and became a traitor. Please believe me, he doesn’t deserve your trust.”
Issa recalled her impression of elif.
She had met him several times in the castle. Although she was only the maid behind Bertha Bilson at that time, each other would politely nod to her every time they left.
And his wife. Although she was put under house arrest by the Marquis and ridiculed and scolded by bazaar, she could see that his wife was a very competent mother, because even under such circumstances, their children still smiled naively and thought they were just visiting the Marquis’s big house.
“I see,” said ISA, slowing down. “Is there anything else you want?”
Seeing this, elif felt a little relieved and determined that gulbin had indeed said something against Issa yesterday evening.
“No,” he said with a smile, “I’m just here to remind you that don’t believe gulbin, no matter what he said. Miss Issa, you, me and miss bazaar, we are connected at the moment.”
With that, elif looked at Issa with thoughtful eyes and faces, said no more, and directly asked to leave.
“Wait!” Issa stopped him and said bluntly, “gulbin knows my identity. He told me that you let my husband attack the north. He said you deceived my husband. We should have gone to the south. He asked me to try to change TUTA’s decision and kill you, saying that you would be bad for me… But I failed…”
The content of Issa’s words didn’t surprise elif. On the contrary, she was willing to tell him all this, which greatly increased his interest.
“I see. Miss Issa, you are really a kind girl.”
“I’m no longer a little girl!” Issa stressed and put her right hand subconsciously on her abdomen.
“Yes!” elif nodded affirmatively and then asked easily, “do you believe what he said? I mean, do you believe I deceived TUTA?”
Isa shook her head: “I don’t know about war, but I don’t want to fight. I just want to leave here. It’s best to never have war.”
“Leave here, you mean leave the kingdom? This is your hometown.”
“This is not my hometown,” Isha corrected. “I don’t know where my hometown is. When I was very young, I was sold to Marquis Bilson, became a maid of Basha, and now I am TUTA’s wife. My husband is my hometown!”
“Do you want to go back to the grassland?”
Issa nodded, “but I failed. No one can change TUTA’s decision except himself!”
Elif nodded again. From Issa’s words, he not only heard her pessimism and fear of identity exposure, but also heard that Issa had regarded Mongo TUTA as the only dependence in her life.
After thinking about it, he said, “I didn’t cheat TUTA, and no one can cheat TUTA! Compared with the south, the strength of the north is weak. If I really have bad intentions, I should encourage TUTA to continue to attack the south.”
“In terms of implementation, TUTA has long had his own firm goal for the war. Although gulbin is servile and respectful to TUTA, he actually doesn’t see your husband at all in his heart. He even thinks he can fool anyone. He is a complete fool!”
Isha suddenly remembered something and said, “I heard you sent your wife and children to Shanghe collar. You have a good relationship with the Lord there?”
“Yes, after they left the castle, I immediately sent them to the river. Lord Arthur took good care of them.”
“Of course, he should take care of your wife and children. Who asked you to send so many slaves for him? I once heard the bachelor tell Basha that the river leader has been sparsely populated to resist Warcraft. I didn’t believe in Warcraft at first…”
Issa thought of her husband’s mount and the thirty-one terrible creatures with terrible shape and fierce breath that made the war horses tremble and dare not approach!
“In addition to coming to the north, no one believed that there was a real world of Warcraft. I didn’t believe it at first. I thought that Warcraft was just a giant seven feet tall until I saw the real giant. Therefore, I can’t lure TUTA to attack the north. In practice, TUTA’s goal is not the north.”
“Isn’t it the north?” isa stared at him in surprise.
“It’s just my guess,” elif explained, “During this time, in addition to weapons and drinks, TUTA also asked me to get a map of danze kingdom. Later, I accidentally saw the map again. I found that there was a hole poked by a dagger in the west of the Kingdom, and the map was directly handed over to TUTA by me. In other words, the person who poked the hole could only be TUTA.”
“It could have been inadvertently damaged,” isa added.
Elif solemnly shook his head: “in addition to the map, the leaders of other departments, including TUTA, have asked me about the power comparison between the north and the south. Although I can’t understand their language, I’m sure they are not only curious, but very serious.”
“In addition, you should know the prophecy spread among the wild people? The prophecy that there will be a disaster of destruction. Although this is very absurd, all the wild people believe it! Therefore, I guess TUTA may be going to the furthest west from here.”
“You mean my husband is running away?” elif’s words suddenly reminded isa of TUTA’s comfort in bed last night. It seems that some of them are far away from the grassland.
“I don’t mean to offend you, but you can understand this. After all, the wild people have completely different beliefs from us. They believe in the prediction of disaster, even if it seems completely ridiculous and absurd to us.”
Issa was not in a hurry to make a sound, but she had believed elif’s guess in her heart. After a moment of coagulation, she looked into elif’s eyes and asked, “so my husband just wants to find the safest way to the west?”
“It’s just my guess, but I believe it!” elif added in a positive tone, “TUTA is very smart. Gulbin and the people behind him are completely wrong. Note that they want to use TUTA, but they are actually used by TUTA. Now, your husband has an army, not only Warcraft and giants, but also enough weapons. No one can stop him from going to the West!”
