The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 30 Showdown
Although Feng Yu tried his best to calm down, old man Anthony, a veteran in this field, still saw through the clues.

"Nicole, can you let me talk to this visitor from another continent alone?"

Feng Yu's heart trembled, thinking that the old man was going to confront him.

Nicole was concerned about Feng Yu, so she naturally didn't want to go out. However, looking at her grandfather's kind eyes, she pouted and moved out of the tent step by step. However, the way she kept looking back at Feng Yu made old man Anthony's face darker and darker.

Feng Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself, little girl, aren't you clearly telling your grandpa that there is a problem between us?
Sure enough, after Nicole lowered the door curtain and disappeared from Feng Yu and Anthony's sight, the old man turned around and sighed and said, "It seems that there are still many things I don't know!
Don't be afraid, young man. This is a soundproof barrier. I think we need to have a good talk now.

Although little Nicole grew up in this turbulent era, she is kind by nature. I know that some of the experiences she talked about are untrue, and my intuition tells me that those untrue things are related to you. Am I right?"

Just like what old man Anthony said, Nicole is kind by nature. This is obviously her first time committing a crime. She doesn't even know about collusion in testimony. She is only thinking about protecting Feng Yu so that he can bear less responsibility and be accepted by the elves as soon as possible.

But this was not what Feng Yu wanted, and he couldn't hide it from the old man Anthony.

At this point, Feng Yu simply spilled the beans: "You're right, Nicole's demotion and the destruction of the Ancient Tree Staff were all caused by Nicole using the magic grafting technique to save me."

Anthony was stunned. As a great magician, how could he not know what the consequences would be if Nicole forcibly used the magic grafting technique? But this obviously did not match the current situation!

Feng Yu told the truth, but Anthony became even more confused.

"Now I am even more confused. Magical grafting..."

"This is actually easy to understand, because I am different from the people of Green Continent. But there is one thing I don't understand, and I would like to ask you to explain it to me, old man!"

Anthony looked at this human from another continent and said, "What's the matter?"

"Why Nicole?"

"What do you mean?"

"Old man, you keep saying that Nicole is innocent and kind. I also know that Nicole is a rare magic genius among the elves. So why did she choose Nicole to take on such a dangerous mission to get materials from the Elf Forest?"

Although Feng Yu was glad that it was Nicole, because this was the way they could meet, he was still unhappy. Could it be that all the elves were dead?

This question had been on Feng Yu's mind for a long time. Asking Nicole directly might hurt this innocent girl. The key point was that he felt that even if he asked Nicole, he might not get any useful answer.

"It seems like you care about Nicole, but I don't think this has anything to do with you."

"Nicole likes me and I like Nicole, so this matter has something to do with me."

Old man Anthony smiled contemptuously.

"Young man, this joke is not funny at all. Nicole is the future star of our elves, and the sweetheart of the elf prince Hill. Not just anyone can think of her.

Besides, I haven’t said anything about Nicole’s downgrade and the damage to the Ancient Tree Staff. But don’t think that this matter is over! "

Feng Yu was stunned to find out that a love rival had suddenly appeared.

But Nicole said that elves advocate free love, but have never heard of such a thing as arranged marriage. It seems that old man Anthony is just yelling at him.

Looking at Feng Yu's eyes, Anthony knew that this human with black hair and black eyes seemed difficult to deal with.

"Nicole is my granddaughter and my only relative. If there is another suitable candidate, this job will not be Nicole's."

Feng Yu thought to himself, I think your prince is a good candidate. If he doesn't accomplish anything great, why should he be a prince? Just because his father is the Elf King?
"Then I'll be honest with you. I came here only because I didn't want Nicole to bear the consequences alone."

"You seem to bear the consequences..."

Nicole's worried face appeared at the door of the tent again, and she walked into the soundproof barrier.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I didn't tell the truth..."

Then, before Anthony and Feng Yu could speak, Nicole gave a brief account of her itinerary.

Old man Anthony was right. Nicole really would not lie, especially to her grandfather.

"You are actually from another world?!" Anthony asked Feng Yu in surprise after hearing the whole story.

Feng Yu nodded.

"I can't believe such a coincidence can happen. I was wondering how the magic grafting technique could cause Nicole to retreat three levels and damage the materials of two sets of ancient tree staffs. So this is how it is."

Nicole said: "Yes, Grandpa, this is my choice. Please don't blame Darren. These things are not his fault. If it weren't for him, I might not be able to come back.

Darren was the one who looked after me during those two days when I was at my weakest.”

Anthony smiled bitterly: "Now I'm not blaming him, he's questioning me!"

Nicole looked at Feng Yu strangely, and Feng Yu also had a wry smile on his face.

"I just can't understand why you were asked to carry out such a dangerous mission."

“Because I will take over from Grandpa and become the next Great Sage of the Elf in the future, taking on the responsibility of protecting the elves. Grandpa’s body has overdrawn his life essence in the long battles with humans, and he can no longer use magic at the mage level, which will shorten his lifespan.

The elves need the power of the Grand Mage, and Grandpa must not be in any danger."

Anthony said helplessly: "Nicole, didn't I tell you that this matter..."

“Grandpa, Darren is not an outsider, I… believe he will not do anything to harm the elves.

And after being strengthened by magic grafting, I believe that once Darren can master the power of elements, he will become an excellent element user in the future."

Anthony felt helpless facing Nicole's determined face, and he discovered that his lovely little Nicole now seemed to be completely devoted to this visitor from another world. She would never refute her grandfather like this before.

Anthony looked at Feng Yu, and Feng Yu knew that it was time to show his determination.

Feng Yu said: "Old man, it's useless to say anything now. I believe time will prove everything."

"By the way, your grandfather said that the elf prince likes you, is that true?"

"Grandpa, I hate you so much. Why did I tell you something like this? Yes, the Elf Prince and I grew up together when we were little, but I always treated him like a brother..."

Anthony, who had already removed the soundproofing barrier, couldn't help but worry about Nicole as he heard the voices outside the tent getting farther and farther away.
