Chapter 562: Chapter 562: If Without Him
Iyas was stunned; Bai Jin was crying like a typical little girl.
Had it not been for knowing the personalities of Yang Yu and Bai Jin well, Iyas would certainly have been moved by Bai Jin’s crying, just like the elves present.
This was really unreasonable.
“I always feel like my Experience isn’t enough; I can barely keep up with their pace.”
Iyas sighed to himself, wondering when he would be able to respond spontaneously like Yang Yu and, before that, when he would figure out what Yang Yu was really thinking.
The mood at the scene grew somber. Under the onslaught of Bai Jin’s tears, many elves began to reflect on whether they had been too harsh on Bai Jin. People were well-aning; how could they just bla and suspect her for being a different race?
After a while, Ailena spoke on behalf of the elves to comfort Bai Jin. She agreed to let Bai Jin explain her grievances from her perspective. Bai Jin then slowly stopped crying, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and began to recount everything from the beginning, trying to restore every detail she had witnessed as much as possible.
This wasn’t just for Ailena and the other elves to hear; it was also for Yang Yu, to make him aware of every little detail, just in case.
Bai Jin’s narration was vivid and inadvertently conjured up countless terrifying mories shared by the elves. The bright red flas seed branded in their minds, impossible to erase.
“…Afterwards, I was locked in the dungeon by the Queen.
I can understand why the Queen did that. Anyone in that situation would feel uneasy and want to avoid unnecessary trouble.
I also regretted not revealing my true identity to the Queen right away.
I was also scared.
The elves were so afraid of humans, and as a human myself, if I revealed the truth, I couldn’t be sure what would happen.
As for what’s on …”
Bai Jin looked at Yang Yu, who signaled her not to worry and to just speak out. He would help smooth things over.
“That particular Darkness cos from an artifact in my possession, which could bring the Demon back…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the observing elves were incredibly shocked and found it hard to believe.
Elves who had lived through the era of Mingtu Saiqiute parted the crowd, getting closer to the Queen and Bai Jin, eager to understand the situation.
mories of the past seed vividly before them. Elf Queen Ailena couldn’t help but clench her fists. “Do you have proof?”
“Of course.”
Before Bai Jin could speak, Yang Yu took over,
“As long as the Queen is willing to bear the consequences of us showing that object, there’s no harm in showing it to the Queen.
Honestly, we suffered quite a bit from accidentally pulling out that thing once.
The truth is, we’re running around trying to destroy it.
Thinking that the Elf Clan might have a way to solve this, that’s why I asked Bai Jin to stay here and investigate.”
“Then why didn’t you simply ask directly when you had questions?” Ailena pressed.
Yang Yu smiled lightly, “I planned to slowly coax the information out.
Later, when the Queen gave us the ‘Elven Chronicles’ and always seed unwilling to answer our questions, I changed my initial plan.
Thinking that I had gotten the ‘Elven Chronicles’, perhaps I could glean sothing from your history, I then chose to stop coaxing answers.”
“Leaving Bai Jin here was to ensure that if I still hadn’t found the item, she could help investigate so matters.”
“But, why isn’t it you, who lacks the Strength within, disguising yourself as an elf for the investigation, instead of leaving her here, who could be exposed at any mont?”
Ailena pointed at Bai Jin.
“As you ntioned, that item isn’t convenient to take out and keeping it in one person’s hands can provide assurance, which is understandable.
However, why is it her staying here and not you? Please give a reason that I can believe.”
“It’s simple. Because I am the only one who can perfectly dye soone’s hair golden.”
Yang Yu revealed a fearless smile on his face. Although Yang Yu didn’t know if this world possessed tools that could change hair color, it was true that he was the only one in the team who knew how to dye hair.
The elves, each naturally beautiful with uniformly golden hair, naturally didn’t understand the difficulties of dyeing hair. Yang Yu’s explanation was reluctantly accepted by the Elf Queen.
Ailena gradually released her clenched fist, but she still harbored doubts about what Yang Yu had described.
At that mont, Yang Yu added another sentence:
“Besides, leaving a young girl to wander alone outside the forest is very dangerous. Let’s not speak insensitively.
I have already inford Queen Your Majesty of my intentions. Whether to believe or not is up to Queen Your Majesty.
If you still don’t believe us, we are even willing to drag the elf race into this matter in order to retrieve the item and prove our innocence.
After all, we are all in the sa boat now.
It doesn’t matter who drags whom down.”
Sensing that Yang Yu knew so inside information, Ailena pressed, “What do you an?”
“What I an is, the group that attacked you is the sa group that attacked us.”
At these words, the entire assembly was shocked.
Yang Yu ignored the noisy crowd and turned to face the Elf Hunting Team he had rescued,
“Rescued elves, you have seen our battle to so extent, haven’t you? Seeing others turn into those monsters, I was still unshaken. What do you think is the reason?”
The Elves of the Hunting Team looked at each other, and for a mont, no elf dared to respond to Yang Yu’s question until an elf with a scar on her leg stepped forward.
With her shinbone broken by Mande and thrown into a cage, she had plunged deep into despair and even continuously imagined how she would die.
But when Yang Yu pried open the cage that trapped her, her world seed to be flooded with light again.
So, when others were skeptical about Yang Yu’s Potions, she drank the potion given by Yang Yu without hesitation, and her leg injury healed quickly. Sadly, due to the lack of tily treatnt, an unsightly scar remained on her previously smooth shins.
She could only repay this debt by being the first to speak up for Yang Yu.
“Queen Your Majesty, I can attest that during the fight against those black monsters, this man and his companions did not exhibit any trembling unlike us elves who were shivering in the cages.
If it weren’t for him, we might have never seen Queen Your Majesty again.”
Once one person spoke up, the other rescued elves felt sowhat moved. Despite their lingering mistrust towards humans, they couldn’t deny that Yang Yu had saved them.
They too imitated the first elf and knelt before the Elf Queen, swearing an oath to the goddess.
“Willing to swear in the na of the goddess, all we say is true.”
