Chapter 852 -713: The Mixed-blood Elves of the Varo Royal Family
It was as if he had discovered something interesting.
The youth became thoroughly exhilarated.
Then, probably because the smile on his face was too conspicuous, a ghostly voice sounded from nearby.
“Are you that happy?”
Xu Shuo turned his head to look, and saw Catalina gazing at him with brooding resentment, her expression unreadable, her silver-white eyes looking chilly and hostile.
He smiled faintly.
Then, propping his chin up with one hand, he said, “Why, do you want to kill me as a sacrifice to your Holy Tree?”
“…”
Catalina pursed her lips.
She clearly didn’t have the courage to act.
The decline of the Ice and Snow Elf Clan was the world’s divine punishment.
She couldn’t blame anyone else.
She had previously deluded herself with righteous anger towards the Church of Light, using belief as an excuse to evade the truth, but now that her feeble attempts at concealment had been exposed.
She had no more desire to ponder these things.
So be it, whatever.
Just let it be!
Xu Shuo suddenly said, “However, there is another reason for what I just said about ‘the Elf Clan initiating the war’.”
Upon hearing this, Catalina’s eyes widened suddenly, and she immediately covered her elven ears.
She looked completely unwilling to listen any further.
But of course, Xu Shuo would not indulge her.
He simply kept talking to himself: “I just thought of this just now, the prophecy is yours, the Elf Clan’s. Whether a thousand years ago or a thousand years from now, you have foreseen this.”
Catalina clenched her ears tightly.
She even closed her eyes.
Completely unshaken.
“But since the war a thousand years later is a dispute between the Holy Court and the empire, then how exactly did the Varo Royal Family get involved with your Elf Clan?”
Xu Shuo said unmoved.
Hearing these words, Catalina still did not open her eyes, but her eyebrows twitched slightly, and the tips of her covered ears shivered a little.
Xu Shuo’s eyes were full of smiles as he looked at her: “If you really don’t know about it, perhaps it was your sister who kept this from you and orchestrated it all by herself.”
Catalina couldn’t help but open her eyes and turned her head to glare at him, saying, “Nothing that happens in the Holy Land of Elves can escape my eyes!”
Xu Shuo’s gaze flickered.
That sounded like a little girl trying to act tough.
After all, the magic he had left behind to destroy the Holy Land had not been discovered by this Ice and Snow Elf.
The Ice and Snow Elves she had previously seen in the Holy Land appeared real because they were formed by the Power of the Dawn Faith, which is why Catalina could grasp their every move.
But before that.
Catalina’s sister had not truly died yet, hence she wasn’t formed from the Power of Faith’s Ice and Snow figure.
If she were to do something sneaky.
Catalina really wouldn’t be able to find out.
Previously, when he discovered the White-robed Bishop’s whereabouts in the Silver City-State.
Xu Shuo had wondered about the reason for the other party’s presence there.
Later, he speculated that the other party was probably there to rendezvous with the Ice and Snow Elves that had emerged from the Far North Mountain Range.
But since the player entered the plot.
Possibly due to lack of detailed instructions in the character information, the player didn’t know what their mission was coming here, so after the Ice and Snow Elf escaped alone, they continued to stay in the Silver City-State.
Of course, it might be for another reason.
The news released by the Duke of Silver said that the Ice and Snow Elves were killed on the spot in the North Mountain Range, with no information about any escape.
After information was confused, that White-robed Bishop perhaps thought the Ice and Snow Elf was seriously injured and hiding, or perhaps even captured, and therefore did not hurry to leave the bounds of The North.
Instead, he stayed to continue inquiring about the other party’s whereabouts.
Upon thinking this way…
Could it be that the other party sneaked into Silver Castle in the middle of the night possibly to rescue that Ice and Snow Elf that might have been captured?
In any case, no matter what.
The Imperial side definitely knew of the birth of the Ice and Snow Elves and had already prepared for it, which also means that there had been secret communications between the two sides for quite some time.
The Ice and Snow Elf Clan had long been secretly colluding with the human empire.
However, as an Executor of Dawn, Catalina was completely unaware of this, and only found out what was about to happen when her sister left.
Suddenly, in Xu Shuo’s eyes as he gazed at her, there was “pity” in his right eye and “compassion” in his left.
Catalina was once again in a daze: “Impossible… My sister knew the result of the prophecy, and she knew the consequences from a thousand years ago… How could she let the Ice and Snow Elf Clan once again become the scourge of war.”
Xu Shuo said leisurely: “Don’t rush, I haven’t finished speaking.”
As soon as the words fell, Catalina glared at him fiercely, with a grinding of teeth appearance.
“Aren’t you curious how the human empire got together with your sister?” Xu Shuo raised his eyebrow and said.
“…What?”
Catalina really was a little bit curious.
Suddenly leaning towards her, Xu Shuo’s face was hidden by the Sun Crown Helmet, leaving only his lips visible and he slightly curved them into a smile that could pass for teasing.
“Perhaps, your sister has some… ”
“Ahhhh!”

Before he could finish speaking, Catalina pounced over in agitation, in a crazed and collapsing manner, picking up the soft pillow from the chariot with the intention to block his mouth.
Xu Shuo blocked her attack with his hand.
Then he continued to add insult to injury: “Although you scorn mixed heritage, it seems your sister didn’t share this prejudice. Moreover, she already had connections with the Varo Royal Family. I suspect that Wald XVIII is a mixed-blood Elf. So, it’s still your Elf Clan that started this war.”
As his words fell, Catalina, who was about to collapse, instantly calmed down.
Then she realized what she was holding in her hand, and hastily threw it away, somewhat awkwardly lowering her head to straighten her hair.
Catalina watched the young man’s silver-white hair that reached the ground, her lips mumbling: “I thought…”
With a smile that was not quite a smile, Xu Shuo regarded her: “Oh?”
“Cough…”
Catalina averted her gaze and sat with proper decorum next to the soft couch.
Just after learning for the first time that her sister had kept her in the dark, and now for a second time, Catalina couldn’t help but speculate, causing her to think that her sister had been having a secret affair with the human royal family behind her back.
Just thinking about it was enough to make her feel like collapsing.
Not because she collapsed at the thought of her sister choosing to be with humans.
But because she was worried that her sister might have sacrificed herself for the future of the Ice and Snow Elves, and all of this, she was completely unaware of.
That would make Catalina feel immensely guilty.
Fortunately, none of this had happened.
Upon this thought.
Catalina seriously shifted the topic: “So what you mean is that the Elf aura I sensed just now could be the King? Because he is a mixed-blood Elf, and this battle was also started by mixed-blood Elves?”
Xu Shuo emphasized a key point: “Mixed-blood Elves are also part of the Elf Clan.”
However, this time.
Perhaps due to the multitude of shocks occurring all at once, Catalina unusually did not rush into anger.
She actually started to think further.
Catalina composedly said: “Mixed-blood Elves possess both Elf and human bloodlines. Since you consider them part of the Elf Clan, they should also be able to be considered part of the human race. And even if you push all the blame onto the Elves, this time your Holy Court also actively participated.”
Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised by this seemingly dignified Ice and Snow Elf.
Has she been stimulated too much?
Finally starting to think?
