Plane Merchant

Chapter 61 The Half-Elf's Decision
"There is no task that the Morrigan family is afraid of. Field dares to face any challenge. Please tell me, master." Knight Field replied in a deep voice, without a trace of ups and downs in his voice, and his calmness made people feel chilling.

"Very well, I received a report that the guy on the other side was dishonest and wanted to attack my territory in winter. It was impossible to do it, but now he found a big businessman and bought enough food and grass. Now all you need to do is Snatch the food before it reaches his castle. This will not only solve the food crisis in the territory, but also disrupt his actions. It's just that the mission locations are far away and there are no reinforcements. I can only give you 200 Man, do you dare to go?"

"Your will is the direction my long sword points to." Field replied, and then waited for his arrangement.

"Very well, go, prepare what you need, bring my best soldiers, I will wait for your triumph in the castle, when you come back victorious, I will hold a feast for you in the castle, a baron's The title is waiting for you."

Field's eyes shone brightly, and he silently retreated after saluting a knight. He had to complete this task for the glory of the Morrigan family.

When night fell, Field had already left the castle with [-] elite spearmen, ready to cross the river. The map in his hand marked the location of the target, and it was Li Youran's current castle.

Far away in the depths of the forest, a half-elven village lit up smoke. The people in the whole village were very happy. They hadn't eaten for a long time. Every day was animal meat. Who would have enough snow salt? You don't need to drink the unpalatable animal blood, but you won't be able to fill your stomach with salt alone.

It just so happened that the patriarch went outside today and bought a lot of food with animal skins. Everyone gathered around happily and waited for the thick porridge to be ready to eat. Everyone was laughing, and Morton was also laughing, but This smile was obviously faked. He didn't expect that food was so expensive that the one hundred gold coins could only buy three hundred catties of food. If calculated according to the quota, the whole village would only be able to eat for seven days. It still needs to be done according to the plan. If it is eaten open, it will take less than three days.

Morton quietly walked into his tree house. Hiding in the corner alone, he felt like crying. When his father rescued him from the elf village, he was only 13 years old, still a child, but in In the elf village, half-elves are discriminated against, and he is the discriminated half-elf.

He didn't know if the person who rescued him was his father, but he asked for it. Every half-elf child called him father. There are legends about him everywhere, but not good, because he saved half-elves.

In the eyes of the elves, it is unforgivable for such a strong man to save the half-elf, so the three major elf cities began to encircle and suppress him. The powerful half-elf city that he once built was finally destroyed. At the age of 25, he was still a child in the eyes of the elves, but at that time he had shouldered the last wish left by his father to save the half-elves.

It wasn't until the moment he died that Morton saw his appearance, which was the same as himself!It was also a half-elf, a race that was despised, excluded, and even brutally killed by elves. Until now, Morton still remembered the scene he saw when he and a group of half-elf children hid under the cellar in the ruins.

The setting sun was like blood, and the half-elf holding a bow and arrow, followed by his only animal companion, the nightsaber, stood on the high city wall, proudly puffed out his chest and looked at the elf army on the opposite side with contempt. The body is also full of scars, but no one dares to step forward. This is a god of arrows, but also a god of killing. The entire city was destroyed, and the army was also destroyed by the great mage in the clan using a small forbidden spell, but only It was a single person who actually blocked the powerhouses of the three main cities from advancing an inch, and millions of troops did not dare to move forward.

I remember the last smile of my father when he turned around, with blood on the corner of his mouth, but he was so decisive when he stepped on the night saber, the anger of a peerless powerhouse, half of the million troops were destroyed, and countless others were seriously injured, the powerhouses of the three main cities were also seriously injured Can't fight anymore, in order to guard against each other, we have to retreat.

This is how Morton and the others survived. Morton was the last patriarch he identified, and surviving with the remaining half-elf children became his most important task.

Decades have passed, and the elves have forgotten that half-elf city that was once powerful. Morton also brought the children back then to the edge of the Magic Night Forest to survive, and his persistence year after year greatly increased his strength. , but survival is still the biggest problem. You have to hunt every day, but even so, you have to be hungry in winter. People in the village have walked a lot. They can't stand this kind of life. They would rather be robbers or be killed I don't want to kill, and I don't want to spend my whole life in the forest.

The rest are old and weak, and there are a few close friends, and this winter is undoubtedly the saddest. The large number of hunting outside makes it impossible to hunt in winter. There are many monsters in the deep forest. If you go there, you will die. , he has no choice.

He took out the lighter from his pocket, then took out the last cigarette, lit it, and smoked, Li Youran's words sounded in his mind, thinking "Maybe it's really a chance."

Watching the clansmen laughing and dancing outside the window, Morton laughed!For these lives, it is worth taking a risk. Morton walked out and came to the crowd and said: "Everyone be quiet! I have something to tell you."

The joyful crowd stopped and looked at Morton.

"Some things are better to tell everyone. Today's food is probably the last food in the clan, and hunting is getting more and more difficult. I think we will be hungry when we run out of food."

Morton's words immediately caused panic among the people.

"What should I do?"

"Patriarch, are you kidding me!"

"Are we going to starve to death?"

People are talking about it, and fear is spreading in their hearts. The taste of starvation is definitely not good, let alone starving to death?
"Everyone be quiet! Listen to me."

"Everyone be quiet! The patriarch must have a solution, didn't he bring the food today?"

"Yes! Let's listen to what the patriarch has to say!"

Soon some people who were close to the patriarch came out to persuade them, and the people became quiet again.

"There is a solution! I have a friend outside. He has a large territory. If we go to him, we may be able to get help and shelter, so we won't have to go hungry in the future."

After Morton said it, no one spoke, just look at me!I look at you and don't speak.

"What's the matter! Just tell me if you have something to say! Everyone can raise their own ideas. If there is a better way, I can also consider it."

After finishing speaking, an old half-elf said: "Patriarch, I heard that human beings are very cunning. Could it be that they tricked us out and captured us as slaves!"

"No, this person is a mage, he even has his own plane, he is very kind! He won't catch slaves."

In Morton's heart, Li Youran is really a good person. I have met several times, and I have gained a lot from meeting several times. The first time is a lighter and cigarettes, so that I can relieve my loneliness while hunting. The second time, although it was a small favor. , but that big bag of snow salt gave him a huge advantage. If it wasn't difficult to sell, he would have sold the salt a long time ago. The third time he paid [-] gold coins directly, which solved the urgent need of the village.

"But why should we seek refuge with a human being? Can't we go to the elf's village?"

Another younger half-elf said that he joined later and had not experienced the massacre of half-elves, so he said such a thing, but someone had experienced it, so he immediately interrupted his words.

"Don't talk anymore! If it's an elf, I'd rather starve to death, and the patriarch will do as you say! Go and have a look, in fact, being a slave is better than starving to death."

In this way, Morton decided to take his clansmen to look for Li Youran, hoping that he would be the one he wanted to find.
