Arad's Sword

Chapter 28 The Elf Tribe
On the fourth day after that astonishing raid, on the edge of the Asrex family's territory, near Gran's Forest, two very ordinary-looking open carriages were dangling on the road leading to the forest. Walk leisurely on the bumpy dirt road.

This is a very common small traveling caravan in the Principality of Bel Mare, with two drivers, two merchants, and four guards.With a large number of goods that don't look expensive, but are extremely tailored to the taste and needs of the elves, I want to go to the elves' land to try their luck.

However, although the owners of the team looked inconspicuous, the four guards were obviously very elite.

"Tell me, what is the so-called 'true master of the forest'?" The armor with red hair as beautiful as a maple leaf was casually looking for topics while he was on his way.

"That's my memory when I was a child. I encountered it when I was playing in the nearby family villa." The black-haired, black-eyed, sharp-eyed guard B replied, "The so-called real master of the forest refers to The demonic veins in this area are under the control of the demonic veins, and even the stubborn elves have no choice but to surrender, so it is up to the master to find reinforcements."

"Then why do we go to the elf tribe? Isn't it superfluous?" The petite, slightly freckled but still cute guard C stepped in, "I don't need to remind you, our time is tight now, why? Time and those stubborn long ears go round!"

"Because it's a more polite relationship? It's like asking the butler to report first?" the blond-haired guard Ding speculated, calming down the atmosphere without any trace.

"It has nothing to do with etiquette..." Guard B patiently explained.

These four guards are naturally Midi, Fina, Sigmund and Lilian.

Although the raid left everyone exhausted, after a short day's rest, they immediately embarked on a journey to find reinforcements.

The time gained by burning down the granary is only three weeks, which is the most aggressive estimate.If the Seth family is ruthless and quickly supplies regardless of cost, or buys food from other nobles nearby, this time will be even shorter.And how long it will take to convince the "true master of the forest" no one can say clearly.

Including Midi, Midi herself, the former lover of Alice, the Witch of Mist.

In her previous life, Midi met Alice, the Witch of Mist, while fleeing with Fina after the Delos Empire invaded.At that time, Fina was in a state of high fever, and her magic power was out of control, and the situation was extremely dangerous.In order to find rare medicinal materials, Midi rushed into the mutated forest desperately.

Fortunately, at that time, due to the fire from the sky, the defense of the forest itself was extremely weak, and the elf tribe had already existed in name only. Although Midi was weak, she still made a mistake and finally broke into the Witch's Mansion.

The story of the three people began at that time.

But this time is different. At this time, the fire in Gran's Forest has not yet come, the elf tribe is still strong, and the large magic circle formed by the Mist Witch with the help of the magic veins is also perfect without any loopholes.

Midi’s memory of how she found the Witch’s Mansion in her previous life was rather vague—it was encountered by mistake, and the forest and sea of ​​forests that looked similar along the way. direction.And in this life, at this point in time, it is even more difficult to rush directly into the forest to search for the Witch's Mansion.

The Witch of the Mist is no longer the Witch of the Mist if someone breaks the formation so easily.

Although Midi knew Alice very well, if she couldn't even break through the battle and couldn't see her face to face, there would be no persuasion.

So Midi still chose the most sure method - first find the peripheral elves controlled by Alice, and then try to find clues, follow the clues, and finally determine the way to enter the Witch's Mansion.

As for the way to deal with the elves, long-term experience has proved that the fastest and safest way is the current one-doing business.

The carriage quickly drove into Gran's Forest.

Grand Forest has a large area bordering the Principality of Belle Mare, and each area has a different style.

Compared with the chaotic battle area controlled by various monsters in the academy trial, the forest bordering the Asrex family's territory was much quieter due to the existence of the elf tribe.Along the way, there are no annoying goblin robbers emerging from the bushes, no cat monsters jumping up and down on the treetops, and no giant bull-headed beasts blocking the road.

Along the way, the speed of progress was very fast and very smooth. In just half a day, he had already penetrated into the depths of the forest.But at this time, the man-made road had long since disappeared, and the two buggies had been replaced with off-road wheels, and their speed had slowed down a lot, while Midi and the others, who were acting as guards, took out the With the big axe, he split the shrubs and small trees all the way, and forced a way out.

There is no road, but it does not mean that there is no direction.The person who came here with Midi in disguise this time is a real businessman. A pair of mentors and apprentices, an old man and a young man, come from the famous Alvin Chamber of Commerce. Both the old man and the elves have been doing business for more than ten years. , etiquette and taboos are well known.The two driving the car are also old-fashioned, and they can easily handle it even in the rugged forest.

What's more, there is Midi.As the lover of Alice Otropos, and during those years with this Witch of Mist who can make proud and stubborn elves bow their heads, I can't understand the way elves think very well.

By searching for various hidden landmarks set by the elves on the tree trunks, in the grass, and among the rocks, the caravan moved forward, and soon came to two huge twin trees.

This pair of twin trees is more than 20 meters high each, with one crown slanting to the left and the other to the right. Together, they look like a huge city gate, which is obviously not natural, but the result of intention.

This is the "absolute control area" of the elf tribe. As a result of entering by mistake, there is only one result - being shot and killed.

The carriage stopped under the Twin Trees, and the leader of the old businessman with white hair took out a huge horn and brought it to his mouth.

Blow the horn first, and then lead the door in. This is also the practice of doing business with the elves.

However, before the old team leader blew the horn, Midi's gaze became sharp for an instant, and then he suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Fina's right hand.The red-haired girl's hand was about to gather magic power, but it was interrupted by this move.

In the next instant, the sharp sound of air being cut pierced the eardrums.

Dozens of arrow feathers shot out from the dense forest, and the sharp arrows reflected cold light.Before the members of the convoy could dodge, the arrows had already arrived, and there was only a thud, and these dozens of arrows were shot neatly in front of Midi who was walking in the front, and they were inserted into a row like a fence. Completely penetrated into the soil, the feathers on the arrow tail trembled unceasingly.

Obviously, this is a provocation, a naked show of force.

"Don't blow the horn, don't disturb our village with that tasteless sound." A haughty and young voice sounded, and then dozens of figures flashed out from all directions.

The leader is an adult male elf, dressed very delicately, equipped with thin scale armor on some vital parts of the body, dragging a green cloak behind him, and hiding two slender hands in long gloves, quite like a knight-errant .Compared with the huge longbow in his hand, the elf's golden hair fluttering in the wind is even more dazzling.

"I am the captain of the Gale Team of the Silver Star Tribe, Beryl." The elf said in a condescending tone, "Humans, I have been with you for a long time, report your name, and then honestly tell us why you are here!"

The old team leader hurried forward, with a non-smoky smile, he began to make friends, and introduced the team members by the way.

Captain Blast, Beryl's picky eyes swept over the crowd, and only paused for a moment on Fina, as if a little surprised that there are such beauties among human beings.

People say that elves are a beautiful and elegant race, but that's just average after all.From an individual point of view, a woman who can really be compared with Fina must be at least at the level of an elf queen, and it is impossible for this tribe to get it.

Not only the appearance, but also the eyes, temperament, aura, etc., coupled with the long maple-like hair, the Queen of Magic Bullets is the jewel on the crown no matter where she is.

Midi is proud of it.

As for the other party will have evil thoughts because of this beauty, Midi is not worried.

Not to mention how much this elf with an upturned nose looks down on humans, even if he is really moved, so what?
According to the standards of adventurers, Midi made an estimate. The squad leader Gale in front of him is just a roaming gunner of level 28. He doesn't use high-power firearms, but a self-made longbow. What power can it have?
Of course, this squad leader Gale is indeed very qualified. Judging from the actions just now, the actual physical fitness may be around level 30, plus the racial characteristics of elves such as night vision ability and shadow escape skills, and his combat effectiveness in forest areas. Maybe it can be equal to the 32-level gunner.

However, whether it is level 28 or level 32, there is no difference to Midi and others, it is a matter of a second.

No, Midi probably has no chance. Fina raised her hand and fired a non-charged magic bullet, which was enough to clean it up.

In fact, Midi and the others have been aware of their existence ever since the Gale Squad stared at the convoy, but they just kept pretending not to know.When the elves were threatening to shoot, Midi quickly stopped Fina who reflexively wanted to fight back, also to show weakness deliberately.

After all, if you show your real strength, you will probably be feared, and you will not even be able to enter the village, so hiding your strength is a must.

Midi is now level 23, having risen a level in the Yorkshire Raid.Sigmund and Lilian also reached level 23 after life-and-death battles, but Fina was still the same at level 24.However, from the perspective of actual physical fitness, their real combat power is above level 28, and Midi, the centurion who surpasses level 30 in seconds, is not to mention the bombing queen Fina, who has a range of one and a half kilometers. cannot be estimated precisely.

But at this moment, from the eyes of the arrogant Elf captain, there is nothing more than a group of adventurer guards around level 20 in front of him. My 60-member Gale Squad randomly draws [-] elites, and a single volley shoots them all. Something that can be done in seconds.

So, after paying attention to Fina's beauty for a while, he waved his hand and said vigorously: "Go in! But I warn you, don't play tricks, don't cheat, don't try to take advantage of the Silver Star Tribe, otherwise, My Beryl's arrows will never agree!"

　A week of updates, a week of rankings, finally brought good results.To be honest, as a comeback author, I really didn’t expect this new book to become famous and achieve such good results. This is all thanks to the support of old and new readers. Time is here to express my gratitude m(__)m , a new week, let us continue to work hard!
