king of the castle

Chapter 397 Half Elf Thief

This sharp arrow was accurate and fast, and shot straight at Roger with a sharp whistling. 【】He came in front of Roger in the blink of an eye, and he was about to be shot to death.

Fortunately, since he entered the Green Sea Forest, Roger has been secretly on guard, even when he was thinking about the problem, he paid attention to the surrounding situation.So even though the arrow came suddenly, it couldn't hurt him.

As soon as the sound of the bowstring sounded, Roger had already grasped the sword tightly in his hand with a thought, and when the sharp arrow flew in front of him, he calmly raised the arrow and directly lifted the sharp arrow and shot it into the distance. The grass under the tree has gone.

Although Luo Jiege fired the arrow, he was secretly startled by the huge force contained in the sharp arrow.If his strength is a little weak, even if he can touch a sharp arrow with a weapon, he may not be able to knock it away.

What made Roger even more puzzled was that the arrow was strong enough, but it seemed to be lacking in aim. It didn't hit his vitals, but pointed at his left arm.Since the archer has such great strength, the accuracy must not be too bad. This situation can only be explained by the fact that the opponent does not want to kill, but just wants to give the intruder enough warning.After understanding this section, a smile appeared on the corner of Roger's mouth, and he became more confident about the apportionment.

The person who attacked Roger didn't expect him to be able to knock away the arrow he was determined to get. He was very surprised and kept quiet, hiding in his hiding place without saying a word.

Roger waited for a while, and seeing that the other party had no intention of attacking, he said loudly: "My name is Roger Lee, the earl of Thorne Kingdom, the local lord! This green sea forest is also in my territory. Nai, I came here to negotiate with the elf neighbors about the lumberyard, if you are still there, please come out!"

Roger yelled the same words twice, and the branch of a big tree on his left suddenly shook.Immediately afterwards, a figure deftly climbed down from the tree and walked towards Roger full of vigilance.

"Hey, it looks familiar!" Roger sighed inwardly as soon as he arrived at the other party, and he quickly remembered that this woman with pale blond hair and wearing a soft black leather armor was hunting the owl. The female thief I met when I was a child.

"Hi, we met before, remember?" Roger greeted him happily, unexpectedly, and said, "On the edge of Moon Lake in the Motgood Mountains, do you still remember?" Ask me who killed the Human-Mask Owl!"

Roger's words reminded the other party, the female thief sized him up a few times, and then said coldly without a trace of emotion: "It really is you, your strength has improved very quickly."

This female thief is cold-tempered, and being able to mention Roger's strength shows that she is very surprised by this.In fact, it's no wonder that when the two met for the first time, Roger was just a rookie at the black iron level, but now he can block the crossbow arrows shot by the female thief, at least he has the strength of silver.Even the female thief couldn't help being very surprised by the rapid improvement in strength in a short period of time.

"Hehe, it's because I'm willing to endure hardships and have a high talent." Roger attributed the problem of strength to his own efforts without hesitation, and then said solemnly: "The conflict between the elves and the lumberyard has become increasingly serious. The matter must be properly resolved, otherwise it will be a big trouble for both of us, what do you think?"

"Of course the problem needs to be solved!" The female thief said coldly, "Close the logging camp and exit the Green Sea Forest is the only solution!"

When he met the female thief by the Moon Lake before, Roger knew that the other party was an environmentalist, so he was not at all surprised that she made such a condition.However, Roger absolutely cannot agree to this condition. He still needs to rely on wood cut from the Green Sea Forest to build the castle, and he will never give up the lumberyard.Although the price of lumber is cheap, a large amount of lumber is needed to build a castle building at present, and the accumulation of small amounts is also a big expense.Roger would rather spend the money on other more needy places than waste it on things like buying lumber.

So as soon as the female thief finished speaking, Roger immediately shook his head and said, "No, the lumberyard must continue to work!"

Roger's words made the female thief sneer and said: "Well, you just wait for the revenge of the crescent moon elves, how many lives of you humans are filled in this green sea forest!"

The female thief's words "you human beings" moved Roger's heart, and he couldn't help but look at the other party carefully.Although the female thief wore a mask, it didn't cover her ears which were much sharper than humans.Last time, Roger's strength was too far behind that of the female thief, so he didn't dare to look at her carefully, so he didn't notice this detail.This time he could observe the female thief carefully, and only then did he discover the problem.As soon as these ears reached Roger, he understood that this female thief must not be human.

However, Roger also met the elves in the Green Sea Forest before, and knew that the elves' ears were sharper and longer than those of the female thief.This small detail let Roger know that the female thief is most likely not a pure elf, but a half-elf, the descendant of humans and elves.

Speaking of which, half-elves are not a real race, they are just occasional offspring between intersecting humans and elves.This so-called "intersection" is also varied. Some are humans and elves who love each other sincerely and come together willingly; Those elves who were treated as slaves were abused by their masters all year round, and finally gave birth to children.

In conclusion, although there are many reasons for the birth of half-elves, most of them are a very sad story.The experience of these mixed-race children is also very tragic. It is difficult for them to live a normal life in human society, because half-elves often inherit the beauty of elves, so many people also treat half-elves as slaves.

The elves are even more difficult to accept half-elves, because to them half-elves are evidence that the noble and pure blood of elves has been defiled by humans.For the vast majority of elves, such evidence means nothing but a deep disgrace to the elves.Therefore, elves generally have a deep dislike and contempt for their half-elf relatives, and they are usually very exclusive towards them.A few ultra-orthodox elves even hunt half-elves, hoping to wash away the shame of the elves.

This half-elf thief actually appeared in the Green Sea Forest, obviously he was still in the same group as the crescent moon elves living here, which surprised Roger very much, and he didn't bother to answer her for a while.

Seeing that Roger was silent, the half-elf thought he was afraid, and quickly said coldly: "I knew that you humans are all greedy for life and afraid of death. If you are afraid of bleeding, you should immediately leave the Green Sea Forest, otherwise don't blame us for being rude." !"

"It is said that in the Demon Realm, there will always be flames coming out of the ground, which will instantly engulf any creature walking on it. And what causes this kind of fire is a kind of red color called fire dragon blood that comes out of the ground. Liquid." Roger didn't answer the other party immediately, but asked with a smile: "Dragon blood is flammable and resistant to fire, and it will burn wherever it touches. The raging fire often burns for a whole day. Water is not enough to extinguish the fire caused by dragon blood. The fire will spread the flames to more places, you know all of this, right?"

Of course, the female thief had heard of such things as fire dragon blood, but she didn't understand why Roger said this to herself, and frowned coldly, "What do you want to say?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I happen to have more than a dozen large barrels of fire dragon blood, and I also raised a few griffins." Roger said calmly: "You said that if I let someone ride a griffin in the Green Sea Flying above the forest, and by the way, if you ignite the jar containing the fire dragon blood and throw it down..."

"How dare you!" The half-elf interrupted Roger before he finished speaking, "Aren't you afraid that the territory will be retaliated by our crescent moon elves?"

"Revenge?" Roger said with a cold smile, "Let's wait until the elves can walk out of the Green Sea Forest alive!"

After being choked by Roger, the female thief was immediately speechless.If the Green Sea Forest was really set on fire like that, no more than [-]% of the crescent moon elves could survive by chance.If so few elves go to attack the town of humans, not only will there be no threat, but they will all be captured by humans and sold as slaves.

"Don't think I'm really scared, I'm just giving you a chance to negotiate." Luo Jie made the other party's hesitation, and seized the opportunity to continue: "I have a plan to minimize the damage to the forest by the logging camp. In this way, the crescent moon elves can live as before, the green sea forest will not be greatly damaged, and I can get enough wood. This is a win-win situation, and it is beneficial to any of us. As for whether it can be realized ...then what's your attitude?"

Hearing what Roger said so well, the female thief was also a little hesitant, and after hesitating for a while, she couldn't help asking: "Is what you said true?"

"You don't have to believe it, and then wait for the Green Sea Forest to be burned, or you can choose to let the clansmen negotiate with me." Roger spread his hands and said: "Anyway, it doesn't make much difference to me. At most, I can buy wood from merchants, or It won't cost me much!"

In fact, Roger was a little insincere when he said that, but he needed a huge amount of wood to build the castle.If you buy from a merchant, not only will you spend a lot of money, but you will also waste a lot of time, so Roger will never give up the wood resources of the Green Sea Forest.

Of course, the half-elf would never know about this. After being threatened and comforted by Roger, she finally made up her mind after thinking about it for a long time, raised her head and stared at Roger and said: "Okay , I will take you to meet our elders!"
