Chapter Seventy-Four: Pingxi Mountains

"And what do you suggest?" Ayton asked.

"I'm only two days away from the Asahi Mountains now, and it's going back and forth for four days, or we can go to the Elven Kingdom to ask for help as Iluri, such as funds, manpower, and ......" Ravel still didn't dare to confront the slave traders head-on, but wanted to seek help from the outside world.

"No, first of all, we don't have any evidence to prove that the underground auction really has auction forest elves, and then the elves come here to easily startle the snakes and let those wicked people escape" Lan Coco said: "So let me contact Claire in Thorn City, he should have ...... Forget it, let's ask him to borrow some money from a nobleman, it's really not possible to borrow money in my capacity, it's faster."

"But it is very likely that the nobles are colluding with the people of the underground auction, and if you ask what the money is for, then what do you say, you must know that the place where the auction will start must be more than 200 gold coins. ”

Two hundred gold coins are equivalent to two bags of gold coins, and generally only some big nobles can give them casually. Ayton was afraid that the big nobleman who borrowed the money and the slave trader were colluding, and when the time came, he would tell the auction in advance of the news, so that they could transfer the forest elves, and maybe even tear up the ticket directly, leaving no evidence.

"Then what do you say" Lan Coco looked at Ayton with a dejected face, this kind of thing happened in her country, as a princess, she must be uncomfortable.

"Big brother......" At this time, Ilully, who lowered her head, let out a soft snort.

Ayton looked at Illuri, whose face was covered by a green cloak, and even if he didn't see her eyes, Ayton could guess that she was already teary-eyed: "Don't worry, Ilully, I'll build some weapons in the next three days, and then get the right to enter the underground auction, if I can't buy them, Ariel and I will sneak in to assassinate that nobleman, and then rescue your compatriots."

"Yes, yes, if you can't snatch the staff of Lan Coco and sell it, I don't believe that I can't afford to buy your compatriots," Ariel also comforted.

After getting along for so long, she still has a good impression of this forest elf who never competes with her, especially his brother still seems to like her, as long as Ayton likes it, she will let herself like it.

Lan Keke gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Yes, I will sell this staff when the time comes, and I don't believe that the nobles who bought the staff will not dare to return me at that time." ”

Lan Keke's words were said lightly, and the nobles would definitely not dare not return it, but it would definitely have a great impact on the dignity of their royal family, and even become the target of public opinion attacks by hostile countries.

"Thank you...... Thank you for being so ...... to me Okay" Illuria listened to the voices of everyone comforting her, and only felt that a stream of heat rushed from all over her body to her heart, these voices were so warm, even if she was in a different place now, the people around her could not be said to be her own people, and even two of them were the sworn enemies of their forest elf clan, but at this time they gave her a feeling of family.

In the past, everyone around her talked about how sinister the outside world was, the greed of humans, the cruelty of the dark elves, and the cruelty of the orcs......

But Iluli has lived in a very kind and friendly environment since she was a child, and she has never been in contact with evil people, and she doesn't know what 'evil' is, so she naturally relaxes her vigilance against others.

Until she was secretly playing with a companion, a team of dark elves and blood shadow hunting groups discovered them, and she took the initiative to be captured by them in order to protect her companions from being discovered, and then was put on a forbidden magic ring, feeling the loss of magic in her body day by day.

Maybe because of her well-behaved personality, she was not abused along the way, but the various embarrassing abuses and foul language in her ears made her gradually close her heart and become a little taciturn, until Ayton appeared that day, she didn't say that sentence - that ...... I think I can heal your wounds.

"No more thanks, Illuri," Ayton put his hand on Ilully's shoulder, and said softly, "That's because I want to help you, the kind that doesn't ask for anything in return."

"Yes, yes, my brother is so soft-hearted, he is willing to do whatever you cry and tell him to do, I used to do this often. Ariel also put her hand on Ilully's shoulder, and said crisply.

Ayton: "......"

"I'm helping you not only for the relationship between my country, but also because of our direct relationship" Lan Coco also put her on Ilully's shoulder, she has basically been with Ilully these days, because Ariel is ignorant of her, and Ayton patronizes to talk to Ariel every time.

"Hmm......" Iruli's tears could not stop falling, they could have said that they met in Pingshui, but they were willing to selflessly sacrifice so much for her, not at all like the insidious and cunning said by the elders of the clan, but very enthusiastic.

"Ahem" Ravel came from a low cough, the four of them talked so much to themselves, did they care about his feelings, he also wanted to go up and say something, but they had only known each other for less than a day, and they didn't know anything about each other, and they didn't know what to say, and it seemed that they were willing to help the forest elves a long time ago.

"It's also true" Ayton helped Eruli put on her cloak and cover her face, "It's time for us to act, let's go to the Mercenary Guild first to see if there is a mission to the Pingxi Mountains, where are we going to hunt some magical beasts, get crystal nuclei, earn a little gold by the way, and then come back to create a 'rare' weapon." ”

"What!? You have to build a rare weapon in three days" At this time, Ravel finally couldn't help but speak: "No, except for the travel time of a day and a half back and forth, it will take more than one day to build a rare weapon." ”

It only takes half a day to get from Thorn City to the Hirashi Mountains to the north, and a day to the Asahi Mountains.

Ayton smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

It wasn't until he really learned about the blacksmiths of the surface world that Ayton realized how perverted his forging skills really were. What it takes him months to complete, he can do in a few days.

Of course, this is all thanks to Bahrain's ultra-simplified forging method, as well as Ayton's great talent and prowess.

City of Thorns, Mercenary Guild.

"A dragon appeared in the Pingxi Mountains!?

"It's true, my companion said he saw a huge dragon flying over his head, and it was an undead dragon."

"Its whole body is covered with white bones and rotten skin, two dark blue soul flames flashing in its eye sockets, and a cold breath can freeze dozens of people in an instant, and one of my companion's arms was also hit by its breath, and now it has been amputated, and it is estimated that it will not be able to be a mercenary in the future, alas"

"It's so strong...... No wonder the Marquis ordered that whoever can kill the undead dragon will be rewarded with 2,000 gold coins."

"I'm rubbing, 2,000 gold coins! ”

"Don't say it's you, I'm a little excited, or you come to our mercenary group to form a team, let's go to the Pingxi Mountains to try our luck together, if you really kill that undead dragon, you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you will also be called this dragon slayer warrior, it's ......exciting to think about it."

In the mercenary union, Ayton, Ariel, and Lan Coco had just finished registering their mercenary information and received a bronze plaque indicating their first-order mercenary status, when they heard the two groups of mercenaries talking loudly.

"2,000 gold coins!?" Ayton stopped when he heard 2,000 gold coins, listened to their conversation quietly, and then looked to the very center of the taskbar, where a striking Marquis of Thorn seal appeared on the mission list.

"There are dragons, brother, I haven't seen what the legendary dragon looks like," Ariel looked a little eager to try.

"It's a dragon!? It's a legendary creature, and it's said that they rarely appear on the continent now, but this is the first time they've appeared around the Thorn Territory. Ravel sighed.

"But it's impossible for undead creatures to appear around the Flower Whisper Forest," Ilully lifted her hood and looked at the mission list. The life elements of their Flower Language Forest are extremely vigorous, not to mention the undead creatures in the Pingxi Mountains close to the Flower Language Forest, even the Luoxia Mountains in the distance will be greatly affected.

"This dragon must be controlled by some evil forces, it is impossible for dragons to innocently attack the villages in the north, and a wave of our envoys have mysteriously disappeared, I don't know if they are the ghosts" Lan Keke frowned and said.

"Anyway, then we're going to make up our minds about this Pingxi Mountains" Ayton made up his mind and said: "But as for this dragon, you can kill it, don't be reluctant to kill it, the top priority is to get some Warcraft crystal nuclei, and rush back here in two days, I need a whole day to build a 'rare' weapon, and then find the location of that underground auction."

If Ayton doesn't sleep 24 hours a day and keeps forging, he should be able to create a low-level rare level weapon, but his body is a little unbearable, and then the quality is not much guaranteed, but it should be no problem to sell it for more than 500 gold coins.

In the past, Bahrain said that in the past, he used to build weapons in his room by himself, and for three days without eating or drinking, he successfully created a rare weapon, which was the fastest speed of building rare weapons at that time. I don't know what kind of expression he'll be like when he knows he can craft a rare weapon in a day.

He can build two in three days, that is, about 1,000 gold coins, he will definitely not be able to buy an elf slave, at most he can only pay an entrance fee, and these 2,000 gold coins are likely to solve their urgent needs.

"Hey, fifth-order peak undead dragon, strength is even comparable to some sixth-order ordinary demonic beasts" Ravel gasped.

"Is this dragon only a fifth-order, and the fifth-order demonic beast has 2,000 gold coins"

"This is a dragon-type demonic beast, although it is only in the state of the undead, but its strength is far higher than that of other types of demonic beasts," Ayton explained to Ariel.

"And it will breathe in frost, this undead dragon is not simple," Lan Coco said in a deep voice.

"Frost Breath!??, is it strong" Ayton looked at Blue Coco, who had a solemn look in his eyes.

"Well, it's a fifth-order magic, but it's almost twice as powerful as ordinary magic."

"Or ...... We'll wait for your weapon to be built," Ravel suggested in a whisper, "after all, it's safer." ”

Ayton turned his head to look at Eluli, who wore a cloak on her head, leaving only a pair of green eyes to look at the taskbar on the wall.

The bounty marked on the piece of paper, 2000 gold coins, was so eye-catching, if they could get this bounty, then they wouldn't have to risk their lives again to rescue a forest elf who was auctioned off, and what Glick had said about the underground auction before, they would keep the buyer's information strictly confidential, and then the elf would be bought, and then it would be difficult for them to find anyone.

"Let's try it, after all, it would be easier to buy her directly. Ayton said lightly.

"Yes, yes, and it's just a bunch of bones, what's there to be afraid of" Ariel echoed: "Isn't it a fifth-order demonic beast, we've killed two?"

Ravel: "???"

"You can still kill fifth-order demonic beasts, or two!" Even after seeing their strength, Lan Keke found it hard to believe that they could kill two fifth-order demonic beasts.

Ariel looked proud: "Of course, now I have confidence."

Lan Coco looked at Ayton again, who nodded slightly, and said lightly, "We still have a fellow Wing Clan, and it would be difficult for us to kill even one without her."

"If you want to make money, there is a gladiatorial arena in the center of this Thorn City, which was opened by the Marquis of Vonovich, and I heard that defeating the orc gladiators inside is also very rich, and you can also earn 2,000 gold coins in three days."

"Gladiatorial Arena" Ayton raised his eyebrows, and then sank again: "Participating in the gladiatorial arena is too easy to expose our identities"

"By the way, if I can kill this undead dragon that plagues the border, it will also greatly improve our strength" Lan Keke also agreed with the plan to hunt the undead dragon, but her small face looked a little excited, and it seemed that she was mainly interested in the legendary dragon.

“... Since what you all say... Okay, I'll lead the way for you, but first, if that undead dragon has a sixth-order strength, or if we can't match it at all, we'd better go back immediately" Ravel reluctantly compromised.

He thought that they couldn't kill an undead dragon at all, and the two little girls looked like they had never seen a dragon before, but they were just curious about hunting dragons, and by the way, they were novices trying to earn some bounties.

"Then of course we do" Ayton smiled slightly, this Ravel was actually willing to help them, which made his liking for this half-elf increase a lot.

Ravel shook his head and didn't speak.

I really don't know where their confidence came from, or rather, they are not self-sufficient, two third-order warriors, a third-order elf healing life magician, a fourth-order water magician, plus him, a fifth-order wood-based half-elf magician, it is difficult to beat a fifth-order peak undead dragon, and it is still the kind that can breathe frost.

However, looking at the expressions of Lan Coco and Ayton, they seem to know the power of this kind of breath, but even if they know the danger of the road ahead, why do they have to move forward.

Ravel gave up thinking and secretly planned to persuade them to flee at once if they didn't have the chance, not to give up their lives for the sake of something impossible.

Third-order strength against fifth-order undead dragons, unless you use crowd tactics, you can win. Several third-order adventurers, who didn't even participate in the certification of the adventurer's union, still had to say that they had killed two fifth-order demonic beasts.

As for crafting rare weapons in one day after that...... Forget it, even though the 'Excellent' quality sword he took out just now seemed to be very good, no one could create a 'rare' weapon in such a short period of time.

Ravel had already given up on participating in the auction, first of all, he was not sure if there were really new forest elves being caught, and if it was found out that Ayton had bought them to help the forest elves leave, it was very likely that they would be assassinated by some people, and some nobles would never allow such a thing to be publicized.

"Ilully" Ayton patted Ilully's shoulder, whose eyes were shining, "Time is pressing, we must leave now." ”

"Hmm......" This time Iruli didn't say thank you, but simply nodded in agreement.

......
