Wizard Immortal

Chapter 268 Clan Emblem

whoosh...

The sound of arrows piercing the air echoed all around, accompanied by the sounds of heavy objects colliding with the earth.

Outside the wooden huts, before the night watchmen could react, several arrows pierced their throats with deadly accuracy, so fast that they couldn't even make a sound.

This is something no ordinary elven archer could do.

Although the elves have excellent eyesight and are known for their archers, even for an elven archer, achieving this feat in complete darkness would be no easy task.

Those capable of doing so are undoubtedly master archers of the Elven race, or even knights.

Tap tap...

Light footsteps were approaching from afar; the sound was faint and slow.

In the dense jungle, several figures could be seen walking from a distance.

They were several elves dressed in light blue armor, their faces indifferent as they looked at the fallen corpses in the distance.

They were each carrying a light blue longbow, clearly indicating that the arrows they had just fired were theirs.

"Is it them?" A cold voice came from behind, spoken in pure Elven language.

An elven girl dressed in a black robe slowly walked in from behind. Her appearance was exquisite and captivating, and her clothes were adorned with a complex mark that looked like her clan emblem.

She walked forward step by step, her expression somewhat arrogant, her aura very strong, and she didn't even bother to glance at the other elves around her.

"Miss Rose..."

Upon seeing the approaching elven girl, the elves who had been carrying longbows all lowered their heads, their faces showing respect.

Among these elven archers, there was a young elf whose armor differed from the others, bearing the same tribal emblem, suggesting he too was of noble birth.

He looked at the haughty and beautiful elven girl before him. Although his face was respectful, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He was the first to step forward and reported to the girl: "These are the Night Watchmen. There are still some people resting inside. However, judging from the strength of these outsiders, they are somewhat different from the previous group."

"So, it wasn't the same group from before?"

Hearing the young man's words, Rose frowned, looking somewhat disappointed: "Never mind, they're still people. If we can bring them back, we can at least gain some credit."

"Kirk, go and bring these men back to me."

She spoke, sounding somewhat casual: "Try to bring them back alive."

"yes!"

The young man named Kirk nodded, then glanced at the elven archers around him before taking the lead and walking forward.

These elves are very powerful. Even the seemingly ordinary elven archers are all knights, and the elven man named Kirk is a Grand Knight.

With these knights around, even a third-class apprentice would be able to hold out for the time being.

"Sora, aren't you going in to check?"

As the elven warriors around her walked forward, Rose stood quietly in place, her expression somewhat indifferent.

"No need." A voice came from behind, the voice was a little childish, like that of a young boy.

A figure slowly appeared from behind, also dressed in a black robe.

He was an elf boy, not very tall, and looked like a human of fourteen or fifteen years old, with a youthful face.

He walked up to Rose, a hint of respect on his face: "With Kirk and the others here, dealing with these stowaways shouldn't be a problem, so naturally it's none of my business."

Seeing his expression, Rose nodded slightly, her previously cold expression softening a little: "It's good that you know."

Looking at Sora's still somewhat immature face, she casually replied, "As you know, there have been more and more stowaways appearing around here lately, many of whom are knights. It's too dangerous for you."

"After all, your family isn't around here. If something bad happens, they might not be able to help you in time."

She looked at Sora and said this, her words seemingly carrying a hidden meaning.

Upon hearing her words, Sora's face immediately showed a grateful expression, as if she were genuinely thanking Rose for the reminder. She stood obediently beside her, showing no intention of moving.

Before long, screams came from ahead, accompanied by the faint sounds of swords clashing.

Rose and Sora were not surprised at all; they seemed to be used to it.

These stowaways from afar were very cautious. Even with watchmen outside, there were often people inside the wooden houses who stayed up all night, just in case they could escape at any time.

However, these preparations were often insufficient when facing a group of elven guards who were all knights. They would be captured alive in no time and their achievements would be taken to the city where the elves lived.

This time, however, the situation is clearly different.

Among this group of smugglers, there was also a group of apprentice knights, and even two real knights among them.

Although these people are no match for these elven guards, it is quite possible that they can engage them or even allow a few to escape.

"It seems I'll have to go there myself this time."

Standing to the side, listening to the increasingly loud fighting sounds in the distance, Rose shook her head and walked towards the direction from which the sounds came.

Watching her figure from behind, Sora hesitated for a moment, but finally followed behind her, also walking forward.

They walked quickly and soon arrived at a wooden house.

However, upon arriving at this place, the two were taken aback.

At that moment, the sounds that had been constantly coming from the surroundings vanished instantly.

In the chilly night, the chirping of insects that used to fill the air all the time has now vanished.

As if they had entered another silent world, their expressions changed drastically, and their eyes instantly scanned the wooden houses in front of them.

Inside one of the dilapidated wooden huts, a dark figure stood.

He was a handsome young man, also dressed in a black robe, with bright, pure eyes that were very captivating.

His ears were somewhat sharp, and his features were exquisite. He looked like a true elven nobleman, and was extremely pleasing to the eye.

As Rose and Sora watched this scene, they trembled, sensing a terrifying power emanating from the boy.

"A formal wizard..."

Subconsciously, Rose blurted out those words, then quickly realized what she had done and lowered her head, her once proud face now showing respect and fear: "May I ask which lord has descended? I am an apprentice wizard from the Kroll family."

Upon seeing the young man before her, she instinctively brought up her background, hoping to attract his attention and make him wary.

In her view, since the young man before her possessed the strength of a formal wizard, he must have come from a powerful elven noble family and must know something about her family.

As for the guess that the boy in front of her was an outsider, she only thought about it for a while before rejecting the possibility.

The boy in front of me looks exactly like an elf. Many of his subtle features are only possible for elven nobles with pure blood. In this Silver Mist Forest, what else could he be but a native elven wizard?

To her surprise, after she revealed her family background, the young man in front of her acted as if he had never heard of her before, and did not react at all.

The scene fell silent for a moment, until a long time later, a voice rang out again.

"What's your name?"

Standing in front of a wooden house, looking at the two people standing in front of him, Adir looked at Sora behind Rose and asked.

"Sir, are you asking me something?"

Standing in front of Adir, Sora was taken aback when he heard Adir's words, looking somewhat surprised.

Not only him, but even Rose, who was standing in front of him, was somewhat surprised to see Adir, not understanding why he was paying attention to him.

"I am Sora, a member of the Oris family."

Despite her doubts, Sora showed no hesitation on the surface and immediately revealed her name and family background.

In fact, it wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't brought it up himself.

Besides him, there were several other elves present. They knew him inside and out and had always been at odds with him. They would not hesitate to betray his information.

"The Oris family, youngest..."

Standing before them, listening to Sora's words, Adir murmured to himself, seemingly lost in thought, and fell silent.

He initially didn't want to get involved in what had happened.

Before setting off, Adir had already bought a map of this place through Balana's connections, so that even without a guide after arriving here, he could travel to the nearby elven city on his own.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw the two wizard apprentices who were born into elven noble families.

The two elves in front of them were both wizard apprentices, only second-class apprentices. However, the female elf had a stronger aura and seemed to be carrying several enchanted items.

What truly attracted him was not the two men's power, but the tribal emblems they carried.

On the black robe of the elven boy was a mark that Adir recognized very well.

It was a very simple mark, containing a purple bird and a silver moon, intertwined together with some other small patterns, forming a clan emblem.

Gazing silently at the familiar mark, Adir remained silent for a moment before taking out a badge from his person.

This is a very old and worn badge. On the badge is a purple bird with a silver moon in its beak. Overall, apart from lacking some patterns, it looks almost identical to the mark on Sora's body.

"The Purple Bird Mark..."

Out of the corner of her eye, Sora caught sight of the purple bird mark and was momentarily stunned. Then, as if she had thought of something, a glimmer of hope and expectation appeared in her eyes: "My lord, who are you?"
