Chapter 67: Glick's Shock

"People, are you a bandit again" Lan Keke immediately stopped what he was doing and looked around.

"Don't look around, don't you let the other party know that we found him" Ariel wiped the corners of her mouth and said in a low voice: "Brother, he is only one person. ”

"He doesn't seem to be hostile," Eluli whispered.

Before he finished speaking, a tall, bronze-complexion, and well-defined and deep facial features, a man of about 23 years old slowly walked over.

"Hello, I was just passing by, and suddenly I smelled the fragrance here, huh, are you a forest elf?" Seeing everyone's vigilant gaze, the man immediately waved his hand and looked at Ilully with a surprised expression.

"Why, is it strange to see a forest elf" Ayton said lightly, looking at the tall man vigilantly, he felt that he was not an ordinary person, and people who dared to venture alone in the mountains were not simple people.

"Well, I'm sorry, this is the first time I've seen forest elves, so I'm a little surprised" The man smiled embarrassedly: "And I heard that someone in the Thorn Territory is capturing forest elves, which has led to the entire Flower Language Forest recently strengthening the defense of the border, and the clansmen are not allowed to go out at will." ”

"We already know this, isn't this kind of thing spreading everywhere in the entire Bright Blue Kingdom?"

"Uh...... Is it?" the man stared at the roast pork on the grill, not only swallowing.

"My name is Grik, an adventurer from the Kingdom of Xiluo, who has just been promoted to the fifth platinum adventurer," Glick said as he pulled out a dog tag made of platinum from his bosom.

"Oh, my name is Ayton, and this is my sister Ariel, and this magician's name is Lan Coco, and her name is Ilully. Ayton glanced at the platinum dog tag and said lightly. At the same time, the vigilance in his eyes increased greatly, if he had any evil intentions, the four of them would have to fight hard again.

Ariel also wiped the oil-stained Nether Dagger, withdrew the side of her left leg, and quietly grasped the short sword at her waist.

Looking at their appearance, Gorrik hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I have no hostility, I just want to order food, as a reward, I will protect you all the way until you get out of this Luoxia Mountain Range, you don't know it, this mountain range has recently appeared a group of bandits, specifically to hijack passers-by." ”

"We can protect ourselves," Ariel said lightly. I muttered in my heart that those bandits had already been destroyed by us.

"Ah, yes, can I exchange some money for some meat to eat" The thick aroma of roasted meat was inhaled by Greek, making him make a "coo" sound in his stomach.

Although he was able to kill some game by himself, he didn't bring seasonings and could only eat some bland and tasteless roast meats.

Seeing that he was indeed not hostile, Ayton raised a finger: "Yes, a silver coin"

The corners of Greek's mouth twitched, this was more expensive than the barbecue in the big city, but thinking that this was in the envoy's place, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

In fact, for Ayton, money is secondary, and the most important thing is to get to know more about this well-informed adventurer.

The four of them sat around the charcoal fire, and Grek asked, "Are you planning to go to Thorn City first, and then to the Flower Language Forest?"

"Yes" Ayton nodded, "Do you know anything about forest elf slaves?"

"I don't know this very well, and this is the first time I've come to the Thorn Territory. Glick touched his head: "I heard that there are still some elves who have not escaped, do you want to rescue some elves who are secretly imprisoned?"

"Yes, but we don't know anything about their location yet"

"I've heard that a wave of Kingdom envoys have mysteriously disappeared, and the Second Potter has negotiated with Lord Fnovich-Ford to cast some imprisoned forest elves."

Lan Keke bowed his head and said, "Then those envoys also disappeared, it must have been done by that bastard lord." ”

Hearing this, Glick couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Bastard Lord?"

"She's talking about some human nobleman in the Land of Thorns," Ayton winked at Blue Coco, reminding her not to tell about Vonovich yet.

"Also, the kind of thing that sells slaves of other races is generally done in secret, like our Xiluo Kingdom, sometimes we will also catch some orcs as slaves, and then sell them at a high price through some underground auctions"

"Underground auctions, are there any rules if I want to enter this auction to buy slaves?" Ayton asked faintly.

Glick glanced at the four of them, and sighed: "Let's not talk about her identity as a forest elf, the underground auctions are all conducted in secret, if you want to know the specific location and time, you can only introduce it through others, and then come up with something that can prove that you have the strength to buy items."

"That kind of place is generally only accessible to local nobles or some famous caravans, like us adventurers, who can only enter if they take out some rare treasures, such as high-level Warcraft crystal nuclei or something. Glick tore off a porcupine's front hoof, took a bite and said.

"High-level Warcraft crystal nucleus, I have a lot of this" Ayton touched his chest and secretly rejoiced.

"Illus, don't worry, I have a way to save your people," Ayton said, patting Ilully's sunken shoulder. He has a large number of high-level Demonic Beast crystal nuclei on him, and he doesn't have to worry about money, so when the time comes, he only needs to buy some high-level crystal nuclei to participate in the underground auction, and then buy her clansmen, and then send them back to the Flower Language Forest.

"Thank you...... Thank you," said Iruli, a little embarrassed. Ayton selflessly helped her so much that she didn't know how to thank him.

"No thanks, it's just that I want to do this" Ayton turned to look at Glick, "You're from the Kingdom of Xiluo, so can you ask how you came all this way east to do something?"

"Oh, I just want to come out and go through the experience, to be a free adventurer," Glick said vaguely, biting into the roast meat.

Ayton noticed the shield that Greek was carrying behind him, the shield looked unremarkable, but few solo adventurers would use shields, because they were too bulky, and only large teams of adventurers would bring one or two shields to attract and block attacks from monsters with low IQ.

"Venturing out alone is certainly very strong, but it is also dangerous, I think someone like you who is good at using shields should be very popular among some mercenary groups."

Grek smiled bitterly and touched the shield behind him: "Indeed, it is true that a team of adventurers invited me to join in the past, saying that I joined their team, and from then on I will be a brother, but I am a foreigner, when did they really regard me as a brother." ”

“....... Indeed, if you don't have a friendship with each other or enough time to spend with each other, it is difficult to be true brothers."

Seeing that Glick had no intention of continuing, Ayton stopped the conversation.

Suddenly, there was another piercing howl of a porcupine not far away.

"Lan Coco, go, you have something to do again" Ariel wiped her mouth and said to Lan Coco, almost like a servant.

"Can you stop killing it, I think we've got enough food," Illuria whispered.

Hearing Iruli's words, Lan Keke hesitated for a moment and looked at Ayton.

Ayton: 'Look at me|What are you doing?'

"Then expel it, and treat it as a protected wild animal," Ayton didn't want to leave Eluli with the image of a penchant for killing small animals, if the steel-backed porcupine was also a small animal.

Eluli smiled at Ayton. She had rarely seen any other beasts in the Flower Language Forest before, they were all gentle chocobos, so she didn't know how fierce these beasts were.

Lan Coco nodded, and used his staff to cast an ice pick to knock off the flying spikes, and then his left hand condensed a pale yellow halo to hit the porcupine, and in an instant it became a little difficult to even lift its feet, and the howl moved left and right, trying to shake off the invisible pressure on its body.

'Ice Spear Technique' Lan Coco raised the staff with both hands, and another ice spear flew towards the back of the porcupine, and in an instant a big hole was broken in its back, if it weren't for the steel-backed porcupine's back being the hardest part of its body, this blow would probably only penetrate its body.

"It's too heavy," Ayton glanced at the screaming porcupine.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous," Lan Coco said embarrassedly, touching the back of her head. She still has too little combat experience and doesn't know how to control her strength.

"Looks like I'm going to teach you how to control the power of magic in the future."

"Ah, does magic still need to control the strength, isn't it just a matter of maximizing the power?" Lan Keke wondered.

Indeed, almost all magicians on the continent will only use all their strength to hit others, resulting in the power of magic that makes others breathtaking, after all, magic's control of power is not as simple as fighting spirit.

"It is still important to control the power of magic, such as when you need to capture the enemy alive and show the enemy to be weak."

"Oh, I see" Lan Coco's eyes lit up, and through the morning together, she still learned a lot of insidious tactics from Ayton that she didn't know.

At this time, Gorrik was looking at Lan Coco with a surprised expression, and he was stunned by the coherent magic just now.

That's actually a rare-level staff, and won't there be a period of cooldown after casting magic, why can she cast three in a row, and she is so young, this can be said to be a genius among magicians, no wonder they are not afraid of me, a fifth-order warrior, it turns out that they have a powerful fourth-order magician.

"I didn't expect to meet such a powerful magician, what a blessing," Gorrik exclaimed.

"Blue Cocoa, amazing!?" Ariel glanced up at Glick, then lowered her head to deal with the roast in her mouth, a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Lan Coco lowered her head in embarrassment, she was really nothing compared to Ayton and Ariel.

At this time, Illuria stood up and walked towards the screaming porcupine, and the porcupine saw the elf girl slowly walking towards it, and her body struggled to stand up, and her mouth kept humming.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you" Ilully stopped three meters away from it, whispered, and then condensed a green light with her hands, and flew towards the porcupine, the long-range healing effect would be much worse, but it was enough for it to recover a little from its injuries and be able to get up and leave.
