Path of Light.

Chapter 217 218. Shadow of the Fog
As a swordsmanship instructor, Instructor Vergil wiped a goat's neck with the elf sword in his hand almost as soon as he came into contact with the goat.

Instructor Eleanor also explained to Roy the fighting style of a ranger, which is light, flexible and coordinated. She roamed freely under the attack of two goats, like a dancer dancing on the tip of a knife. The dancer danced gorgeously, and the elven long sword in his hand almost turned into blossoming sword flowers.

Instructor Gru is another extreme fighting method. He stands on a tree branch and doesn't give the sheep head monster a chance to get close at all.

When Eleanor, Virgil, and Roy blocked the five goats, only one goat was chasing him. Instructor Gru no longer evaded, he stood on the branch of a big tree , Facing the rushing sheep-headed monster, Gru fully drew the short bow in his hand.

Just as the sheep-headed monster leaped, Instructor Gru shot the arrow in his hand just right.

An arrow wrapped in the power of the wind element turned into white light, and instantly passed through the sheep-headed monster's brow hole, and a smear of blood was carried by the arrow and flew out from the back of the head.

The goat's body also leaned back in mid-air, and then fell heavily on the grass in the forest, bleeding all over the ground.

A lot of times the fight is like this, it's about to start, and then it's over very quickly.

These goats are obviously natives of the Partington plane.

Generally speaking, after the elves enter a certain plane, they will not deliberately suppress or kill the local aborigines. What the elves pursue is the way of nature.

These sheep-headed monsters are a sub-human race, and their intelligence is not even as good as those of the murlocs living by the sea. They don't have their own language, but they live in groups. They can make simple tools and animal skin clothes, and they have learned to use fire.

Of course, these are not the reasons why the elves slaughtered them.

The elves can't tolerate these sheep-headed monsters, mainly because of two reasons. The first point is the belief issue. The sheep-headed monsters worship the moon. On the night of every full moon, the sheep-headed people will hold a grand celebration ceremony in the tribe. It's an all night party.The second point is that they are greedy and bloodthirsty, and they are sexually promiscuous. At the end of each carnival, the sheep-headed people will contribute to the reproduction of the tribe.

For the elves, the blasphemy against the moon god is the most intolerable. Secondly, these goats seem to like female elves very much. In order to get elves, the goats even ignore life and death.

At the very beginning, the elves entered the Partington plane, saw these subhuman tribes of goatmen, and planned to educate these goatmen...

But after the elves who taught knowledge paid a heavy price, the elves discovered that long swords were far more useful than books.

At present, goat-headed monsters are rarely seen around Padstow.

There are sheep-headed men on the side of Tinais Village, probably because there is a cold pool here, and a large fog shrouds this mountain forest.

In the misty jungle around the cold pool, there is probably a tribe of sheep-headed monsters. This group of sheep-headed monsters went to the edge of the jungle to hunt, but their luck was a bit bad. Before entering the misty jungle, they met Eleanor instructors this group.

It's a pity that you can get very little loot from sheep-headed monsters. They are only subhumans, not even elementary monsters. Only the sheep's head with horns has a little collection value. The gun under the strange crotch can also be used as medicine, but only human herbalists will buy these, this thing is not popular in the elf world.

Instructor Vergil cut off the head of a goat-headed monster, wiped the blood, peeled off a piece of skin from the goat-headed monster, wrapped it up briefly, and put it in the magic pocket.

"Why are there still goats here? Doesn't it mean that the goats on the Partington plane have long been extinct?"

Instructor Virgil wiped the blood on the blade of the goat's hairy corpse.

"How could it be possible to kill them all!" Instructor Eleanor was also wiping the long sword in her hand with a handkerchief, and said casually, "Most of the goatmen natives were just driven to other parts of the Partington plane."

"Roy, on the Partington plane, these sheep-headed monsters are synonymous with danger. They might give you a fatal blow from a place you can't see at any time." Instructor Eleanor said to Roy: "So when we meet them, the best way is to kill them directly. If there are too many sheep-headed monsters on the opposite side, then we must evacuate decisively. Don't have any hesitation or luck. Although they only have elementary intelligence, their perception is very strong. Not bad at all."

"Understood, Instructor Eleanor."

Roy was taught humbly. The sheep-headed monster in front of him just now was solved by Instructor Eleanor for him.

Instructor Virgil and Instructor Gru began to dig a hole under a nearby tree. Roy hurried over to help. The root system next to the big tree is very developed, so it is not easy to dig a deep hole. This time, we need to bury six There was a sheep-headed monster and a wild boar, so it took a lot of effort for the three of them to deal with all these sheep-headed monsters.

When burying the last sheep-headed monster, Roy sniffed its wound, and there was indeed an unmistakable smell of mutton.

Seeing the corpses of these sheep-headed monsters, Roy even had some evil thoughts.

He wanted to pick a little meat from the goat to make a kebab.

After Instructor Eleanor scoured the surroundings, but found no other goats, she dug a pit with everyone and buried the corpses, while waiting for Instructor Nora and the others.

Because the guide Majeri walked with Instructor Nora, everyone was not worried that Instructor Nora and the others would get lost in the foggy forest.

The three instructors sat under the tree, tasting a sweet and sour berry they had just collected, while discussing the battle just now.

Obviously, Roy's performance just now fell into the eyes of the three instructors.

"Roy, you are not the kind of strong fighter, and your strength is not enough to effectively kill the enemy with blunt weapons, so I suggest that you use sharp weapons as much as possible when your strength is insufficient, such as scimitars, Weapons like swords and spears."

Instructor Virgil suggested to Roy.

Then he added: "This can make you significantly improved in battle."

Roy hurriedly explained to Instructor Virgil seriously: "Instructor, the battle just now was too sudden, and I wasn't ready for it, otherwise I would definitely smash the head of that goat!"

Instructor Eleanor patted Roy on the shoulder and said to Roy:
"Instructor Vergil's suggestion is to let you win the victory in an easier way, but what I want to tell you is that in battle, all your movements appear too rigid due to tension, and tension is the most useless thing. Use it, Roy, being nervous won't win you a fight, so you need to get over that fear."

"When fighting, your movements should be coherent and silky, so that your opponent has no chance to take advantage of them. You are now learning elementary martial arts with Nora, and you will also learn intermediate and advanced martial arts. It is best to also learn the elf bow technique."

Roy quickly took notes seriously.

Instructor Eleanor pointed at Instructor Gru, smiled and said to Roy: "If you want to learn archery, there is a good teacher who can help you do some basics in advance."

Instructor Gru pulled out the arrow that had been shot into the goat, rinsed it with water and put it back into the quiver. He was sitting under a tree to rest. Hearing what Instructor Eleanor said, he quickly said to Roy:

"Roy, elementary martial arts training is a must-learn course for all fighters, but learning various martial arts courses later has a lot to do with what kind of path you will take in the future. Before learning each course, You must understand the usefulness of learning this martial art. For example, practicing archery can improve your body's flexibility and balance. This is not only helpful to archers, but also helpful to rangers and swordsmen. For sword dancers, body bowing is not a compulsory course."

After thinking for a while, Roy said to several instructors:
"I think I will be a fighter in the future. I want to hold a hammer in my hand and hold a shield at the forefront of the battlefield when I fight..."

Instructor Eleanor was taken aback: "Do you want to become a Templar of the Moon Temple? It is impossible for a half-elf to join the Moon Temple. You should quickly give up this idea!"

"Instructor Eleanor, you may have forgotten that I am still an apprentice priest of the Temple of Liberty, so I want to become a battle priest!"

Roy explained.

"Battle priest! This is a relatively unpopular combat profession. We can't give you any advice at all, because we don't understand it very well!"

The three instructors looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Looking at the small round shield on Roy's arm and the sacred scepter standing aside, Instructor Eleanor recalled Nora's intention to draw Roy closer to the adventure group. She pulled Roy into the adventure group just to Let him replace the position of the priest of the Moon God Temple.

Because Instructor Nora was a half-breed elf, the priests of the Temple of the Moon God did not want to join Instructor Nora's adventure group, so Instructor Nora found Roy.

The team had just encountered a group of sheep-headed monsters, and Roy rushed to the battlefield holding a shield, making the instructors forget that Roy himself was a priest.

Speaking of the Temple of Liberty, the instructors actually heard that the Temples of Liberty across the Elf Continent were gradually disappearing, but obviously this was not a good topic, so the instructors took the initiative to keep silent.

In fact, Roy was also annoyed just now, because the battle was too hasty, not only did he not cast the 'Blessing of Power', but he didn't even have time to open the magic pattern structure, so he was so embarrassed by the sheep-headed monster .

……

Not long after, Instructor Nora led another team out of the foggy forest.

Seeing Instructor Eleanor waiting outside the foggy forest with Gru, Virgil, and Roy, and even drying the leather armor on her body, Instructor Nora said loudly to Instructor Eleanor:

"So you came out a long time ago. We were still worried about you just now. It seems that you haven't found any clues about the blue ice deer?"

Instructor Eleanor looked at the wet Instructor Nora and said with a smile:
"I didn't find any clues about the blue ice deer, but we encountered a few sheep-headed monsters, and now they are buried here!"

Instructor Eleanor pointed to the underside of the big tree.

"The goat-headed monster? I have never heard from the villagers in Tinais Village that there are goat-headed monsters around here!"

Guide Margery came from behind and said in surprise.

Instructor Virgil took out the goat's head that was stored in the magic pocket, and placed it in front of Guide Margery.

Everyone gathered around again and looked at the bloody sheep's head. Sabrina and Christine even covered their mouths to hold back the strong nausea.

The guide Margery said in surprise: "It's really a male adult sheep-headed monster. These guys were driven to the north of the Partington plane by the elves of Padstow a long time ago. I didn't expect that they are still living here. This remaining tribe of sheep-headed monsters..."

"Are these sheep-headed monsters the aborigines of Partington?" Instructor Nora asked.

"It used to be, but then there were several rapes and murders in the villages near Padstow, and the goats even held moon worship ceremonies in the tribe, so everyone drove these goats to the north of Partington, In fact, several expeditions were held at the Temple of the Moon God, but because of the long distance, the expeditionary army had to announce their withdrawal when they were halfway there..." Guide Majerry explained to everyone.

"So, the goats on the Partington plane are basically north of Padstow?" Instructor Nora asked again.

"That's about it, at least south of Padstow, it's hard to see goats as far as the Griffin's Wall." The guide Magery replied.

"There is a large area of ​​foggy jungle here, maybe it's an exception. When we go back, I may tell the news to the villagers of Tines Village. Sorry, I may not be able to keep this matter a secret for you." Guide Majli said Instructor Nora whispered.

"Of course, this is what we should do. Even if you don't do it, we will say it." Instructor Nora said.

"That's great!"

Instructor Nora turned to look at Instructor Eleanor, and asked her:
"Eleanor, you must have been scouting around! Did you find anything?"

"No, I didn't find any useful information except for the sheep-headed monsters we killed!" Instructor Eleanor spread her hands and complained in a low voice: "After entering the foggy forest, I felt like the whole A forest has abandoned me..."

"Maybe it's too cold here in the misty jungle, and the plants in the jungle are also in a semi-dormant state, so there is no memory left in their bodies."

Instructor Nora comforted Instructor Eleanor.

……

The adventure group left the foggy forest and returned to Tines Village along the dense forest.

In the tumbling white mist, a huge ice-blue moose suddenly ran out. Its antlers were like a flower tree, with countless ice flowers printed on its body, and a crystal-clear icy path was walking around it. There was a light snowstorm.

It came out of the foggy forest, and the white mist receded to both sides.

Seeing that the adventure group had completely disappeared into the depths of the jungle, the male blue ice deer slowly turned around and returned to the foggy jungle.

It's just that Instructor Nora and members of the adventure group don't know all of this.

When everyone returned to Tines Village, the caravan had already completed the transaction with the villagers, and Commander Xin Deji was camping outside the village, preparing to rest for the night before heading to the next village tomorrow morning.
