Although both Lin Qian and the Elven Clan had important hostages in their hands, due to special reasons, none of these hostages were harmed in any substance. Xiao relied on the sincerity that was enough to influence anyone, while Salantis relied on cold-blooded and absolutely rational language.

"Meryl, when are you going to go to Lin Qian?" Archill felt guilty about keeping Elena in custody, and besides, he really wanted to see Lin Qian die early.

"Things have changed, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. Meryl's face was very bad, she hadn't come back from the person she had sent out last night.

"Why? What else are you hiding from me?" Archer is not stupid, there must be something wrong with her, this woman is here for another purpose.

Meryl's attitude was completely different, and she looked very indifferent: "You don't care about this. Also, you can't show up right now, you can only stay here and wait for things to settle down before you go back. ”

"If I don't go back, what will happen to my mercenary group?"

"Do you think it's safe for you to go back now? Lin Qian already knew that this matter had something to do with you. Meryl said calmly.

Achill suddenly had the feeling that he had been deceived by this woman, and that he didn't seem to be able to get off the thief ship yet.

"I'm going back to Azure City, there won't be Lin Qian's minions there. ”

"I'm sorry, but you can't go anywhere right now. ”

"You're going to put me under house arrest?" said Achill, who couldn't hear what she meant, and was furious.

Meryl sneered and didn't answer.

"If my grandfather knew about this, you should know the consequences. Achill threatened.

"Don't worry, this matter will be known to your grandfather, I think he will take the initiative to come to you in a few days. Meryl wasn't afraid of Potlem.

"It turns out that I am also your hostage. It was then that Archill realized what the woman was trying to do. Sure enough, if it's not my race, its heart will be different, grandpa is on the wrong side this time.

Meryl sneered: "Don't say it so ugly, at least now we are still in a cooperative relationship, if you don't try to escape, I won't seal your spiritual power, but if you have other thoughts, it's not as simple as sealing spiritual power." ”

Clenching his fists, Achill finally thought twice and did not resist, he was not an opponent of this woman, and there was no possibility even if he wanted to escape from her, the only way was to wait and see what happened and seek an opportunity.

Meryl didn't have time to argue with Arcier here, her mood was even worse than his, because the princess of the elf clan, the organizer of the entire team, might have fallen into Lin Qian's hands at this time. She was very aware of the princess's strength, but there was no news for so long, and she had to think about it at this level.

"Captain," a spying elf panicked, "there seem to be many dragons in the wilderness, several thousand. ”

"What, thousands of dragons?" Meryl found that this operation seemed to have hit an iron plate, and Lin Qian actually had such a deep relationship with the dragon clan.

As soon as the thousands of dragons reached the wilderness, they met the princess of their dragon clan. Ysera arranged for the dragons to rest in the wilderness for a while, not to move around freely, let alone run to the mercenary town. But these dragons finally got out of the Dragon Valley, and they were like happy rabbits, and when they heard that they could now come into contact with humans at will, they were even more excited, and they didn't listen to Ysera's words.

The dragon clan advocates strength and respects the strong, so the dragon lord is always the dragon lord, and there will be no doubt, but the princess has only one layer of identity, but she does not necessarily have actual power. Not every dragon is convinced of her, plus she has no substantial contribution to the dragon clan, and she has not even completed the most basic "reproduction" task, and there are many old dragons pointing fingers, saying that she is spoiled by the dragon lord, and she does not have the appearance of a princess at all.

Ysera knew that her prestige was not enough, and she could only hope that these clansmen could listen to the dragon lord's face a little, and secretly thought in her heart that her father knew that this situation was still sitting in the dragon valley and refused to come out, was it to test her ability?

Before the incident was closed, Sophia on the other side found an important clue while searching on the burned mountain.

"This is the necklace that Lin gave to Xiao Yi's sister!" Sophia recognized at a glance, this was the necklace that Xiao Yi had given her and later handed over to Xiao Yi.

"Where did you find it, take me to see it!" Lin Qian was ecstatic when he found out, this was the only clue that could tell for sure where they were taken.

Sophia had already arranged for someone to guard there, and as soon as Lin Qian arrived, they got out of the way.

"Right next to this big stone, there is another mark on it that seems to have been left by Sister Xiaoyi, but I can't read it. Sophia pointed to the notch in the stone.

Lin Qian took out the necklace and found that there was indeed a slight scratch on the bottom of the gem, which was the words that Xiao Yi carved on the stone with the necklace.

Lin Qian stared at the mark, a little puzzled, could it be that Xiao Yi still used the international common distress language "SOS"?

Xiao Yi doesn't know English at all, the only words on earth she knows are the numbers that Lin Qian once taught her to keep accounts, and this "S" is not "5"?

"5", Xiao Yi must have wanted to tell Lin Qian what she left this number, she didn't use the blue language must be because the time was tight and she didn't have time to carve a few more strokes, and what does this "5" represent?

"5? What does this 5 mean?" Lin Qian said to himself.

Sophia asked a little strangely when she heard this, "Lin, what are you talking about?"

"Down?" Lin Qian's mind was clear, "I see." ”

While Lin Qian taught Xiao Yi these numbers, he also taught her pronunciation, because monosyllabic numbers are easier to read after all, and they are clearer when reporting accounts. And the pronunciation of this "wu" happens to be the meaning of "down" in the blue language, although this word is just a particle and cannot be used alone, but the meaning has been fully expressed.

That is to say, the group of elves took Xiao Yi and Elena down the mountain and into the wilderness. Since you have entered the wilderness where you can't hide, the only possibility is to stay underground in order to avoid Lin Qian's search. Moreover, the dragons often enter the Everfree Forest to hunt, but they do not find any elven buildings or hiding places, and they may live under the forest.

Lin Qian remembered that a group of construction workers had indeed disappeared a month ago, and therefore issued this E-class mission, but no mercenaries had found them until now. And no one noticed Archill until the woman found her, perhaps she came here shortly after the canyon was opened, which meant that she had plenty of time to recruit someone to build this underground vault to hold Xiao Yi and Elena and use it as a hiding place for herself.

"I see. Fei'er, you have a lot of credit this time, let's go to find Long'er together, and mobilize the dragon clan to help us find it. Lin Qian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and took a sip on Sophia's face, causing the surrounding magicians to hurriedly look left and right, pretending not to see anything.

"Nasty...... Go back quickly!" Sophia couldn't stand the faint smile on the faces of the group of people around her, her face flushed with shame, and she pulled Lin Qian and flew down the mountain directly.

While Ysera was frustrating herself, a magician arrived, hurriedly handed Isera a note, and then ran away and disappeared into front of the dragons.

Ysera recognized him as if he was Lin Qian's subordinate, and curiously opened the note, on which was Lin Qian's crooked handwriting: Long'er, according to my words, maybe your people will be more obedient......

After seeing it, Ysera suddenly said, pretending to be a little heavy, "Clansmen, do you know why you were called here?"

The dragons looked at each other, this is exactly what they were puzzled about, the dragon lord only said that he came here to listen to Lin Qian and Isera's orders, and did not say anything else, but it seemed to be a more important matter.

"Because we've found the culprit who killed thousands of our people! Another powerful race hidden in the Everfree Forest, the elves. ”

As Lin Qian expected, the dragons all exploded when they heard the news, and Ysera couldn't help but admire Lin Qian's ability to lead the target of this group of dragons to their sworn enemies, even if someone was disobedient, they didn't dare to speak out easily. Since entering the Valley of the Dragons, the dragons have been reduced in number only because of the endless beasts, and this hatred is there, and the dragons easily obey Ysera's command and turn the spearhead on the elves.

"Princess, could it be that the rebellion of the beasts is controlled by the elves?" soon an older dragon asked.

"Yes, we have captured an elf and learned everything from her, but there are other elves hiding in the wilderness and kidnapping the human princess to threaten the humans. I think you also know that the results of the human race in the Everfree Forest this time are very great, which is why these hateful elves are afraid and want to use this method to achieve the goal of forcing the humans back. ”

"The princess didn't call us to find the elves who kidnapped the human princess, did she?"

Ysera laughed, "Of course I'm not going to be so overkill, it's just a warm-up for everyone to get to know the elves." After that, we will launch a major counterattack and unite with humans to completely destroy the elven lair, so that there will be no more beast riots. Now you can look in the wilderness, remember, they are very good at hiding their bodies, so we have to search carefully to sense if there are any abnormal fluctuations in each place. ”

Although the real purpose is to rescue the human hostages taken by the elves, Ysera's words made it difficult for the dragons to disagree, so it was a warm-up for the war with the elves in advance.

But although the vast wilderness could not be seen at a glance, there was not even a shadow of a tree, how could the elves be hidden, let alone humans? The dragons wondered in their hearts and wanted to understand.

Ysera added, "According to Lin Qian's speculation, they are likely to be underground, so this time we will dig three feet into the ground to find their hiding place. ”
