Chapter 826 -695 Mixed-blood Elves_2
Xu Shuo probably did not expect this situation. He wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, shifted twice away from that side, and then continued to eat the leg of beast meat in his hand.
…
The Ice and Snow Elf cried for a very long time.
It was as if her outburst was unstoppable.
She cried until the initially motionless and silent Sola on the ground started stirring a bit, her eyebrows furrowing as if disturbed by the noise.
Zuo Fang keenly noticed the girl’s movement and whispered, “It looks like she’s about to wake up. By the way, how should we handle her situation here?”
Originally, the two had brought her here to use her to deal with the Magical Beast Army.
But unexpectedly, through her, they stumbled upon the habitat of the Ice and Snow Elves and even ended up capturing a real Pureblood Elf.
So now, does she seem of no use anymore?
At these words, Xu Shuo looked over and pondered for a moment.
But Sola was indeed about to awaken; along with Catalina’s crying, she moaned impatience and her eyes were starting to open.
Just as she was about to fully awake, Xu Shuo suddenly stretched out his hand, striking her forehead with a magic spell in a flash of lightning!
“Smack!”
The person about to wake up froze instantly.
Then her head tilted and she fainted again.

Xu Shuo then spoke faintly, “Let’s see what happens here first. If it doesn’t work out, we can use her again.”
He spoke straightforwardly, glancing casually at the still sobbing Ice and Snow Elf.
Catalina seemed to notice the situation here as well; wiping her tears, she looked up while crying and then stared resentfully at him.
Xu Shuo glanced at her once and then looked away, but suddenly, as if he thought of something, he looked over again.
He pondered and said, “Things that can’t keep up with the times will eventually be eliminated. Nowadays this world is controlled by ordinary humans, both magical power and the power of faith are facing elimination. If the Elf Clan continues to be self-sealing, then your kind’s disappearance from the annals of civilization will inevitably happen.”
Catalina frowned, “What do you mean by that?”
Xu Shuo looked towards the girl lying on the ground, “Mixed-blood Elves may not necessarily be a mistake; they might even be the only way out for your elf kind.”
Catalina was stunned, then her expression turned to one of shame and anger.
“I will absolutely not recognize mixed-blood elves! The only thing they share with us is a bit of our bloodline; they don’t resemble Ice and Snow Elves in any other aspect!” Catalina affirmed her pureblood stance firmly.
“You just have an extra pair of pointed ears,” Xu Shuo glared at her ears.
“You…!”
“And you yourself said it, what they share with you is the same bloodline.”
“…”
“What you want is just that bit of bloodline.”
“…”
Catalina choked up again.
But during the argument, she seemed to forget her grief and began to feel melancholic about the legacy of her clan.
The Sacred Tree of the Elves no longer existed, meaning other Ice and Snow Elves could no longer be born from the Holy Tree, and they could only rely on their own bodies for reproduction.
And throughout the entire continent.
There was only she, an elf, left.
Catalina paused again, looked sideways at the girl deeply asleep on the ground, feeling that slightly similar bloodline aura.
Then, she suddenly turned her head and looked towards the Duke of Silver.
But as she watched, her brow furrowed again.
The Duke of Silver, sensing this, spoke indifferently without shifting his gaze, “The people of our Silver City-State look down on that bit of bloodline, and the inheritance of this vein was sealed centuries ago.”
If not for the fact that genetic legacy through physical bodies can’t be eradicated, the Duke of Silver would have already replaced his own blood.
The disdain he felt was very clear.
Catalina felt angered.
But with today’s emotions fluctuating wildly and frequently, Catalina was already a bit tired by now, so she merely glared at him darkly without further reaction, and continued to ponder silently, her expression becoming wooden.
No one else paid attention to her, continuing to eat roasted meat and drink warm milk wine.
…
It’s uncertain how long this calm lasted.
Soon enough, it was daylight outside.
Xu Shuo threw away the small knife he used to trim meat, took a wet towel to wipe off the grease on his hands, stood up nimbly showing no signs of exhaustion after a night.
Then he said ruthlessly, “It’s daylight, let’s go, time to work.”
Catalina blankly raised her head to look at him.
Xu Shuo lowered his eyes and met her gaze: “The trouble your sister stirred up in the Far North Mountain Range, that army of Magical Beasts, it’s still waiting for you to solve. Of course, if you don’t want to solve it, I won’t force you.”
The natural consequences cannot be guaranteed either.
After Catalina came to her senses, she lowered her head and said softly, “Understood, I will go with you.”
Xu Shuo was very satisfied with her attitude at this moment.
Once everything is understood, it’s easy to get things done.
Leaving Sola, who didn’t know when she would wake up, in the camp, the four of them re-entered the mountains from Aige Peak, coming to the gorge where they had discovered the Magical Beast Army before.
A night passed, and the situation in the gorge remained the same.
These Magical Beasts seemed to be waiting for some command; although many were already showing restlessness, all suppressed it and stayed put.
Catalina stood on the mountaintop, gazing at the countless Magical Beasts, feeling the faint aura of ice and snow permeating the mountain range.
Creating and controlling Magical Beasts, in fact, also relied on the Power of the Dawn Faith.
When she released her own Power of Faith, the Magical Beasts in the gorge seemed to sense something, bursting into excited roars.
The overlapping roars of the beasts in the gorge were deafening, exceptionally stirring.
They faced the direction of the mountaintop, as if paying homage to their Ice and Snow Queen.
At that moment, Catalina felt her heart surge with emotion!
She suddenly turned her head to look at the young man beside her, whose white pupils were slightly narrowed, sharp and fierce, just like a Magical Beast excitedly locking onto its prey.
Restless and ready to strike!
Xu Shuo turned his head to look at her, seemingly sensing something.
His equally silver-white eyes were clear and icy, yet devoid of any emotion, cold enough to make the Ice and Snow Elf feel chilled to the bone.
Thus, she silently discarded the thoughts she just had about immediately starting a rebellion.
Because of the war of aggression initiated by Elves a thousand years ago, humans always felt that Ice and Snow Elves were sinister and malicious, but Elves had always thought that such words should be used to describe humans.
Humans must be such, otherwise, how could they come up with such descriptions?
The logic was impeccable.
If humans were so cunning and deceitful, then the people of the Holy See of Light were even more unpredictable, like the Pope of Light before her.
Catalina was now a lone Elf.
She didn’t have the resources to take such risks.
So, she extinguished the slight indignation in her heart, the resentment that wished to let the Magical Beasts trample this man immediately.
Catalina took a deep breath to calm herself.
Then, looking at those Magical Beasts, she said: “Although the Magical Beasts originated from us Ice and Snow Elves, the ordinary wild beasts in the Far North Mountain Range have nothing to do with us. I can help you with the problem of the Magical Beasts, but I won’t handle what comes after.”
Xu Shuo looked at her: “So what you mean is, you can turn them back into wild beasts?”
Catalina hummed vaguely in agreement.
Xu Shuo pondered for a moment.
An army of tens of thousands of Magical Beasts and tens of thousands of ordinary wild beasts, the latter would definitely be easier to deal with.
But no matter what, anything in large numbers is always a trouble.
Moreover.
Actually, Xu Shuo’s purpose in painstakingly capturing this Ice and Snow Elf was not just limited to these.
After thinking it over, he looked at Catalina with an ambiguous gaze: “What if I say, I want you to drive these Magical Beasts onto the human continent.”
Catalina suddenly froze: “What?”
Xu Shuo continued: “You sisters have already foreseen this situation, a thousand years later, today, a battle between the Holy See of Light and the Empire of Saint Vlaro is inevitable. Isn’t that why your sister left the Far North Mountain Range?”
“So you want me to help you seize the human empire’s throne?” Catalina frowned tightly.
“No, I didn’t ask you to help me seize the throne.”
“Then what do you mean by this?”
“Just to have you drive this group of Magical Beasts, send them into the Royal Capital of the human empire, just to block those armies.”
“Isn’t that still asking for my help!”
“Seizing the throne is the business of our Church of Light, what does it have to do with you? The throne, once seized, has nothing to do with you.”
Xu Shuo looked at her with a puzzled gaze, as if looking at someone making an unreasonable fuss.
Zuo Fang couldn’t hold back: “Pfft…”
Catalina clenched her fists tightly, glaring angrily at him, then turned back to Xu Shuo: “I told you, I am not going to help you Church of Light! Not in any matter!”
