Chapter 399 A new journey—Nelin City
Valentine Kingdom, Nelin City,
The Kingdom of Valentin is one of several human kingdoms located in the south of Fanor continent near the Great Navia Forest. It is also a human kingdom bordering the eastern part of the Great Navia Forest.

Unlike the human kingdoms in the middle of the continent that have been ignited by wars and disputes, the human kingdoms bordering the Elf Forest have undulating terrain, mostly hilly terrain, and there are not many areas suitable for human habitation.

Also because of their proximity to the elven kingdoms, these kingdoms have not yet been involved in the war.

However, the situation was different in other regions. After the Kingdom of Fez set a good example, many powerful kingdoms began to extend their greedy claws to the surrounding weak kingdoms.

However, so far, the war on the entire Fanor continent is still in a controllable state.

After all, those big countries are invariably annihilating their weaker neighbors, and are on guard and vigilant against kingdoms that are close in strength.

The Kingdom of Fes is like this now. During the period of digesting the Kingdom of Berdych, it has recovered all its power.

However, with the demise of those small countries and the disappearance of the buffer zone, one day conflicts between these powerful human kingdoms will be inevitable.

By then, even these remote kingdoms will not be able to escape the impact of war.

But now, it's still the same place as usual, busy but with a somewhat peaceful atmosphere.

In Nelin City, on the wide stone road, the sound of horse hooves, wheels and pedestrian footsteps interweave into a busy symphony.

The caravans were loaded with all kinds of goods. Some of them had just come out of the Elf Forest, and some came from far away to come to this small city near the Great Navier Forest to buy special products from the Elf and forest products.

The constant traffic of caravans raises dust along the way, but it carries the atmosphere of wealth and hope.

In the shops on both sides of the street, merchants warmly greeted passers-by and displayed their products.

Spices, medicinal materials from the big forest and even a variety of delicious dried fungi and fruits are neatly placed on the stalls.

But what attracts the merchants the most is the exquisite handicrafts, weapons and equipment of the elves and even the magic props that exude various auras.

The sounds of bargaining came and went, and the air was filled with a strong commercial atmosphere.

The overall area of ​​Nelin City is not large, and there are not many indigenous people. However, because it is close to the Elf Forest, it is quite prosperous, and the place is crowded with merchants.

Li Si, dressed as an ordinary adventurer, walked on the streets of Nelin City, looking at the busy scene around him with interest, and spent a silver coin to buy some fresh fruits.

Because the breath of life in the Elf Forest is much richer than the outside world, all kinds of fruits are sweeter and juicier.

Especially the Pomelo fruit in Li Si's hands, as long as it is processed to remove the annoying mucus, the crisp texture and sweet taste of the fruit pulp are quite attractive.

Somewhat similar to the jackfruit on Blue Star, Li Si really likes this fruit.

Many residents in Nelin City make profits by processing and providing such simple fruits and game, and providing services to caravans.

The city relies almost entirely on the trade of caravans to survive, so the residents are quite enthusiastic about outsiders.

When Li Si was wandering around the city, he would often see thin people with long ears appearing.

Some of these people are elves from the Elf Forest, but most of them are half-elves who are a mixture of humans and elves.

Because of the pressure from the Elf Kingdom, the neighboring human kingdoms, at least on the surface, will not capture Elf slaves.

Especially in the city, the City Guards maintained an active attack on the Elf Slave Catching Team.

But that's all on the surface.

Many times in the underground world of these cities, the sale of elven slaves at illegal auctions is a reserved item.

As long as the elves don't get caught, the city guards will often pretend that this is not the case.

Many times there is some kind of connection between the lords of these cities and the slave-catching teams. What's more, those lords are the behind-the-scenes operators of the slave-catching teams. Through this method, they secretly make huge profits and satisfy their personal desires.

As long as there is no direct evidence, the elves are somewhat helpless about this behavior.

After all, the slave-catching team's strongholds are all set up in secret places outside the city. Even if one of them is destroyed, the lords cannot be directly implicated.

Although many elves are angry about this, they still have to abide by certain rules and bottom lines.

Although the Elf Kingdom is powerful, the continent of Fanor is still dominated by humans, and both the legendary powerhouses and the camps of the gods they believe in are much stronger.

Compared with elves, the living environment of half-elves is much worse.

Half-elves are closer to elves in appearance, and they are equally handsome, but their lifespan is only half that of elves.

For this reason, humans regard half-elves as part of the elves.

But for the elves, in their concept, half-elves are a group with impure blood, and they do not accept these half-elves.

Even the Elf Royal Court did not allow half-elves to enter and looked at them with strange eyes.

The half-elves also have no way to get the baptism of the [World Tree Sprouts], thinking that they are not qualified to receive the World Tree's gifts.

The talents of half-elves are quite good. So far, most of them live in human cities and areas on the edge of the great Navia forest, mainly engaged in guard and mercenary work.

Later, the conflicts between the half-elves and the elves became more and more intensified, and even caused a big disturbance.

However, Li Si is not very interested in these now.

When he left the Floating City, he had already arranged all the affairs of Dan'erluo Port in advance.

Mora and Bernal were responsible for all government affairs. Nothing major happened during Li Si's half-year stay in the floating city. The territory was also developing prosperously, so Li Si had nothing to worry about.

As for the security of the territory, with Uncle Joyce and other men here, Li Si didn't have to worry about it.

So Li Si started his journey to the Elf Forest with confidence.

Because of the requirements for obtaining the [Natural Certificate], Li Si did not use space teleportation and flying skills to rush, but chose to travel on foot.

I usually travel alone, but occasionally I join some caravans and stay there for a while.

"Mr. Li Si, are you really not going to return to Kema City with us?"

"I'm willing to pay three times the amount to hire you!"

Next to Li Si, a man in brown casual clothes said.

"Charles is in charge, I don't care about those gold coins."

Li Si threw a Pomelo into his mouth and said with a smile.

"My destination is the Bolin Kingdom. It is impossible to return with the caravan."

"That's it"

Manager Charles had a regretful look on his face. Li Si had not relented after being persuaded for so long. It seemed that there was no chance.

The caravan he was in set out from Kema City in the former Kingdom of Berdych, came to Nelin City to trade, and returned after purchasing specialties from the Elf Forest.

Upon entering the border of the Valentine Kingdom, their caravan was unexpectedly attacked by a group of silver-level wind wolves.

If Li Si, who was passing by, hadn't taken action, who knows what the final result would have been?

Even if the attack of the wolves could be repelled, it would only be a miserable victory at best, and most of the ordinary men in the caravan would definitely not be able to save their lives.

Charles knew very well that although Li Si had always shown strength at the Silver level, with his effortless posture and confidence, Li Si was probably at the Gold level.

Charles was very confident in his judgment. As the leader of the caravan, he was quite confident in his vision of people.

Although Li Si had some hidden aura of nobility, Charles didn't think that this was a noble child who came out to see the world?
Just kidding, that night Li Si easily and freely killed those wind wolves that were extremely difficult for the caravan. His experienced techniques and skillful skills were enough to prove that he was a well-deserved strong man.

It is simply not comparable to those nobles who spend all day in idleness and use various precious potions to increase their strength. Charles even had a feeling that if he and the caravan guards joined forces, he was not sure whether he could escape from Li Si's hands.

Also because of Li Si's joining, the subsequent journey of the entire Chamber of Commerce seemed a bit uneventful, and they arrived at Nelin City safely.

This is why Charles invited him again and again, knowing that Li Si's destination was somewhere else and the possibility of agreeing was very low.

Unfortunately, even three times the reward did not impress Li Si.

Charles could only leave it at that.

"Then I wish you a safe journey, Mr. Li Si."

Charles said regretfully, and then handed an exquisite mahogany box to Lis.

"These are some of my little thoughts, thank you for your help along the way."

"what is this?"

Li Si was a little curious, so he took it and opened it to take a look.

I saw a gorgeous emerald green bracelet quietly placed on the blue velvet cushion in the mahogany box.

This slender bracelet should be women's jewelry. It seems to be carved from emerald green jade stone. The green color is as lively and moving as if it were alive.

The bracelet is inlaid with a circle of exquisite gold patterns. The patterns are delicate and vivid, and the lines are smooth and elegant. After careful grinding and polishing, it is extremely bright and gorgeous.

Under the sunlight, the gold patterns shine as if they are all lit up, and every outline and detail is clearly visible, as if a delicate golden scroll is slowly unfolding on the wrist.

This looks like the craftsmanship of the elves, and it is one of the treasures!
Li Si took a look at it and found nothing special except for its exquisite appearance. It should be a normal elf jewelry.

It would be a good gift for Risa!
Li Si thought for a while, took the box and asked Charles:

"This is?"

"This is the best elf jewelry the caravan has received in Nelin City this time. I hope you like it."

Charles smiled and said that although this ornament is very precious, it cannot be compared with the loss that Li Si saved for the caravan.

"Thank you then."

Li Si didn't care, turned over and put it into the storage ring.

"Then I'll leave."

Li Si nodded to Charles and left directly.

Charles opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything more to save him, and walked towards the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in frustration.

Although there is no hope, it would be good to leave an impression with Li Si.

It's just that Li Si has a good temper, otherwise Charles wouldn't dare to be so close.

Why don't you retire or stay in the Chamber of Commerce this time?

Charles thought to himself that he had already accumulated enough wealth to enable him to live a worry-free life in the future, so why should he live a life with his head hanging on his belt?

Especially looking at Li Si's extremely young appearance and powerful strength, this feeling became even stronger.

"Ah~"

Charles let out a long sigh, shook his head and left with some lack of interest.

On the other side, Li Si didn't care about Charles' loss. He had more important things to do.

In addition to the people related to the caravan, the largest number of adventurers in Nelin City are the endless stream of adventurers.

Naturally, the area and scale of the mercenary guild in Nelin City are much larger than those in other places, and there are endless mercenaries wearing different clothes.

Unlike Bright City, many of the mercenaries here are elves or half-elves. As for dwarves, they are rare here.

The Great Forest of Navia is extremely rich in products. All kinds of precious materials and plants are produced here, and there are many types. In addition, there are many magical beasts living in the forest.

Although the elves are the masters of the great forests of Navia, in a sense they do not care about other races obtaining various resources from the great forests.

The elves' philosophy is somewhat similar to that of the druids. They believe that the forest is also a part of nature, and that reasonably and moderately obtaining resources and hunting monsters can help maintain the operation of the forest.

What they opposed was the bottomless logging of the great forest and the intrusion of foreigners into the elven towns.

It was only later that humans captured elven slaves that the relationship between elves and humans began to deteriorate.

Li Si looked around at the mercenaries who were resting and drinking in the mercenary tavern. Perhaps because of the existence of elven mercenaries, the appearance of the mercenaries here was obviously much higher than that of other places.

But still a little worse than me!
Li Si concluded with conviction and walked straight towards the bar of the pub.

"How can I help you?"

Standing behind the bar is a well-dressed half-elf woman, with a delicate face that is slightly youthful and charming.

Li Si threw her a mercenary information card, then took the space ring and tilted it to the ground.

Wow~

Various Warcraft materials poured down and soon piled up into a hill on the ground in front of the bar.

All kinds of monster crystals, furs, and minions emitted a faint magical aura, and the air in the entire area was even covered with a faint smell of blood.

The wind wolf contains the fangs and claws of the wind element, the complete tiger skin and tiger whip of the earth tiger, and the precious fingernail-sized eyes of the thunder eagle.
Ling Ling Zong Zong shows how much Warcraft materials are in front of us!
coax!
The abnormality in front of the bar immediately attracted the attention of all the mercenaries in the tavern.

"Who is this person? Where did he get all these Warcraft materials? Did he hunt them all by himself?"

"Could he be an agent of some mercenary group? He's very unfamiliar, isn't he?"

"It must be, don't you feel the magic power fluctuations of those materials? The lowest ones are all silver level!"

"Hi~"

Li Si didn't pay attention to the surprise of others, pointed to the Warcraft materials on the ground and said to the half-elf girl:
"Help me process all these materials, remember to count the mercenary points."

"Don't give me any little thoughts, you know?"

"Also, ask your manager to come out. I want to buy some information."

Li Si's tone was obviously not too harsh, but the half-elf girl's face was a little pale, and she nodded repeatedly and said:

"Please rest assured, those things will not happen in the mercenary guild."

After saying that, the girl waiter hurriedly trotted away towards the back.

Li Si shook his head, sat in front of the bar, and ordered a glass of elf specialty fruit wine to taste.

Although he didn't care about the monsters he killed along the way because of his training, his good training habits made him unwilling to be cheated by others.

If it weren't for the time-consuming and low value of collecting bronze-level Warcraft materials, the number of Warcraft materials here would have doubled several times.

Although Li Si looked a little harmless, for some reason, his figure seemed a bit mysterious and unpredictable against the backdrop of the hill-like monster material.

So much so that the discussions among the mercenaries around him muted and they involuntarily changed the topic.
