Chapter 335 - 335 Cai Rui
335 Cai Rui
At this moment, it was as if all the strength in Count Ottle’s body had been drained.
To make an inappropriate comparison, it was like a perfectly round balloon that suddenly burst.
The vastness that was bluffing dissipated in the blink of an eye, leaving only a small, shriveled empty shell.
Su Ming’s expression did not change much when he saw Ottle’s reaction.
“The questions that ought to be asked… someone will definitely ask them.”
When he heard Su Ming’s words, Count Ottle’s expression instantly became even more confused.
He did not expect that after Su Ming said all those harsh words and forced him to speak, he did not even take the initiative to question him.
To Count Ottle, this was no different from another heavy blow to his dignity, which was already very diminished at that point.
However, Su Ming himself acted as if he did not notice Count Ottle’s reaction at all.
After a brief glance at Count Ottle, he looked away.
Su Ming turned around and looked at the few Elven warriors behind him. He then said, “You all know what you should do.”
Upon hearing this, the Elven warriors looked at each other for a while, then nodded one after another.
After that, Su Ming brought Zelda with him and prepared to leave the dungeon.
When he walked out of the cell, Count Ottle’s voice suddenly came from behind the door.
“Can I leave this place after I answer these questions?”
When Count Ottle asked this question, his tone was full of hope.
When Zelda heard that, she was slightly stunned. Then, she instinctively turned her head to look at Su Ming with a questioning look in her eyes.
According to Zelda’s personality, she would never treat a prisoner of war like him well.
However, in Zelda’s mind, Su Ming’s opinion was more important.
When Su Ming heard Count Ottle’s question, he turned around and looked at the prison cell.
Count Ottle, who had asked the question, was looking at him with a very hopeful look, with a strong sense of expectation.
Su Ming quirked his eyebrows and pouted.
“What a loser.”
Su Ming ridiculed him in a low voice, then shifted his gaze and looked at the few Elven warriors beside Count Ottle.
“After the interrogation is over, move him to another place to live. Don’t let him leave the Elf Valley.”
When they heard Su Ming’s words, the Elven warriors naturally nodded their heads.
Once the two of them walked out of the dungeon, Zelda turned her head around and looked in Su Ming’s direction with a slightly puzzled look.
“Great Prophet, I’m a little curious. Why did you agree to his request?”
Zelda’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Even though she agreed with all of Su Ming’s decisions, she would still ask him about some decisions that she did not quite understand.
When Su Ming heard Zelda’s question, he first turned around and cast her a glance before he said, “His request isn’t excessive, and it can give him and the other people of the Vast Flame Kingdom hope.”
“This way, the possibility of us getting more information will naturally increase.”
When Zelda heard this, she instantly came to a slight realization and nodded. “I see.”
After that, the two of them planned to take a walk in the Elf Valley and talk about the various things that had been discovered in the Elf Valley.
However, they had only walked a short distance before an Elven warrior ran up to them with an excited smile on his face.
He stopped in front of Su Ming while panting heavily. “Report… Reporting to the Prophet… The Great Prophet…”
When Su Ming saw him like this, he waved his hand in slight resignation and said, “Take a breath first, there’s no need to rush.”
As he spoke, Su Ming took out a bottle of water of life from his bag.
The Elven warrior took it and gulped down a big mouthful before he finally caught his breath.
With an excited expression on his face, he said, “Great prophet, Little Cai Rui has returned!”
When Su Ming heard the Elven warrior’s words, he was momentarily stunned.
After he came back to his senses, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked up at the Elven warrior in disbelief.
“Little Cai Rui? She’s back?”
The Elven warrior nodded and said, “She’s in the Elf Town Square now. She didn’t know where you were, so she’s waiting for you there.”
When Su Ming heard that, he first nodded his head slightly, then quickly asked, “She’s not injured, right? Is there any problem?”
In Su Ming’s eyes, Cai Rui was like a younger sister to him.
Hearing this, the Elven warrior frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head firmly.
“No, I’m almost sure that Cai Rui is not injured, and there are no other problems.”
“She just seemed… to have lost some weight and become a little darker.”
When Su Ming heard the Elven warrior’s words, he felt slightly more at ease. Then, he quickly rushed towards the Elf Town Square.
Behind him, Zelda naturally quickly followed Su Ming.
Before long, Su Ming arrived at the Elf Town Square and saw the crowd gathered there.
However, he did not see Cai Rui.
Su Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at the crowd gathered together. A guess gradually formed in his heart.
“Great Prophet, you’re here?!”
Someone suddenly noticed Su Ming and greeted him loudly.
The crowd also reacted, and the crowd dispersed, revealing Cai Rui who was surrounded in the middle.
Sure enough, just as the Elven warrior had said, Cai Rui was a little thinner and darker than before.
When Cai Rui saw Su Ming, she was first stunned, then her eyes lit up.
“Mr. Prophet!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Cai Rui ran towards Su Ming with big steps. Her face was filled with excitement.
Su Ming did not avoid her. Instead, he smiled as he watched Cai Rui run towards him from the distance and hugged his waist.
Cai Rui was from the Earth Tibetan Tribe, and she was only about one meter tall. Su Ming was 1.8 meters tall.
Due to the difference in height, Cai Rui could only hug Su Ming’s waist.
Su Ming allowed her to hug him for a while.
After a while, Cai Rui let go of her hand and looked at Su Ming with bright eyes.
“Mr. Prophet, I have so much to say to you!”
When Su Ming heard that, he first chuckled and nodded, then said, “Then let’s go. We’ll find a quiet place to talk.”
