Chapter 8 The Promised Land

Comfortable times are always very short.

Three days slipped through the fingertips, and the mission quietly crossed the southernmost point of the territory of Mastan and stepped among the peaks of the mountains—and the first gateway to the northeast of the land of mountains, the Grand Canyon, named after the legendary adventurer Gordo, was now in sight.

Or rather...... Right at your feet.

"No traces of supernatural strength have been detected, and the enemy must have done nothing on the rock formation." After carefully checking and finding nothing wrong, the little mage on the rock wall released the rattan in his hand, and then spat out a spell, struggling to manipulate the howling wind in the valley, like a boat driven by a seasoned sailor, struggling to move forward in the storm, "It's still very rusty, and the control in the game is completely different...... However, a mage who can soar in the sky at the middle level, in this world, I am the first. ”

What she experimented with was a combination of Featherfall and Wind Making, both of which were low-level, but they could be used as high-level flying spells in some places where the conditions were met - a combination that was commonplace in previous games, but she was probably the first in this world to put it into practice. After all, players are always in high spirits and are always eager to die, and the bizarre mix of homemade spells and spell combinations is dazzling enough to make any erudite mage jaw-dropping.

Among the most exaggerated is the classic spell fireball technique, the adaptation of this spell has long reached the point of madness, and among the self-created spells on the record, there are at least tens of thousands of pages of spells with fireball as the suffix - as far as Monia knows, in order to improve the efficiency of gold mining, many gold mining groups use at least a dozen completely different numbered fireball techniques when playing dungeons, and the difference between them is only in the amount of power and the amount of mental power consumption - such as "Night Bat Fireball", "Night Demon Mouse-type Fireball" Tempest Wolf Fireball"...... The total number of forests is innumerable.

Shaking her head, Monia put the problem aside, coordinating her balance between the two wind directions, and then finding a suitable angle, using the impact of the valley wind and the wind creation technique to fly in the predetermined direction, ending the operation of the wind creation at the right time, and slowly drifting down the gentle breeze beyond the valley.

"Miss Monia."

Waiting for her below were several female elven warriors, who should be considered her protectors according to the division of duties - although she didn't think she needed any protection, the concept of mage weakness in hand-to-hand combat was deeply ingrained, and as the only mage in the team, she had little room to refuse.

"The mountain has not been tampered with, and life detection techniques have not detected any signs of large-scale humanoid life." The plain tone of the voice concealed the slight depression in the mage's heart - although she knew that this was because the mysterious image of the mage's omnipotence was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but it was rare for her to come so vigorously against the wind, but no one had even the slightest expression, all of them were taken for granted, which made people extremely congested.

"That's right." She quickly adjusted her mind and asked, "Is there any news from the scouting team?" ”

In the plan, it was originally only her job to detect the surrounding area, but Monia knew that the mage's spells were not a panacea—there were several magic or spells that could block out life detection spells. If she blindly believes in her conclusions, the consequences will be catastrophic if she falls into the ambush of the enemy. Fortunately, after she pointed this out, Isdamel changed her plan and set up a new reconnaissance team to conduct two screenings to ensure that she would not fall into the enemy's trap unsuspectingly.

"There's no news yet, it may be a little bit longer." An elf replied, carefully wording, "Miss Monia...... The Ranger uses a very traditional method of detection, requiring a lot of patience and care, which is far less convenient than you do—so I think we should go down there and assist them in their reconnaissance. ”

Below, the nature refers to the winding road under the canyon, the only road leading to the top of the mountains.

"Hmm," the mage nodded, "follow me." ”

After receiving her affirmative answer, the elves who were responsible for guarding the duties breathed a sigh of relief—Yggtrasil was on top! They are finally freed from waiting like idleness, and they can be useful.

On the slope, the grass was slightly peeled away, and the blue eyes carefully observed the team below the hillside.

"It's Gable's team." Slowly pulling the grass together, Lahuana, who acted as a scout, slowly withdrew from her body, "The size of the team is about a hundred people, well-armed and well-trained. Although they are under the banner of the Scana family, we cannot tell if they are the ones we are waiting for or not. ”

The Scana family, one of the three royal families with Gable's right to inherit the throne, is represented by His Majesty the King, who stands at the top of the pyramid of power on the throne of the top of the mountains - he exiled the clergy of the Church thirty years ago, almost completely broke with the church, and accepted a diplomatic request from the Elven Forest more than ten days ago - in any sense, they are the few nobles that the Elven Ambassadors can trust in Gable.

The Grand Canyon of Gordo was the place of his promise.

- Here, where the flag of the Skarna family is, is where the covenant is.

However, the female knight at this moment obviously has deep concerns about this.

Can you explain why? Captain. Lahuana was accompanied by four elven swordsmen, and the shorter one of them naturally asked, "As far as I know, every nobleman in the human kingdom attaches great importance to his own banner, and the Skana family, as one of the three royal families, should not allow others to use its banner at will, not to mention that we have already agreed this place as a meeting place with the country of mountains before the mission is dispatched." ”

"You're right." After scanning for a week, Lavana shook her head and explained that her companions were all looking puzzled and curious, and explained, "The importance of the flag to the nobility is self-evident, and no nobleman will allow anyone else to use his flag, and the place we agreed with the head of the Skana family, His Majesty on the throne, is indeed near here. But this is by no means a reason or excuse for us to take it lightly. ”

The deliberately lowered voice has an indescribable seriousness and solemnity.

"The flag can be faked, our enemies have enough strength to bear the wrath of His Majesty on the top of the mountains, and even more so that as long as all the witnesses are annihilated, no one will pass the news to the Skarna family." Lavana paused for a moment, "And the agreed place...... Everyone should know that our mission may not be a secret in the eyes of Gable or even the Church, so is it possible that even the place we agreed upon will be exposed to their vision. Or the enemy followed the official team of the Land of Mountains to the agreed location, killed them and replaced them. ”

"Do we have a way to determine their identities?" Another elven swordsman asked worriedly.

"The former has it, the latter doesn't." Lahana said, noticing that everyone's expressions were a little depressed, and couldn't help laughing, "You don't have to be so careful, the possibility of the latter is very small, the one on the throne at the top of the mountains, as the victor of the power struggle for many years, must have considered more problems than me, and the greeter sent to greet must have enough power to deter those pretenders who may exist, and even if he doesn't, he will not be so easily eaten and wiped out." ”

There was a brief silence.

"What's wrong?" Lavana asked, a little confused.

"No, nothing." The companions looked at each other in unison, and then a young male elf stepped forward and replied, "I just feel that this Lajuana is really powerful." ”

"yes, yes." Another elf with a relatively out-of-the-box personality echoed, "Lahuana's analysis is very reasonable, if it were us, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of this level at all, it's really quite powerful." ”

"Yes! It should be said that Lahuana, who is worthy of the sword dance, really deserves its name. ”

"Thank you very much for your trust." The female knight was a little embarrassed, but her voice was still cold, and the topic of conversation did not deviate from the task in the slightest, "However, without further ado, we should send the information back to the convoy as soon as possible, and do not make Lord Isdamel and Elder Klaus wait for a long time." ”

"Did you find anything?" Knowing Suosuo's voice, the small figure took a slow step forward and appeared in front of the reconnaissance team, "I seem to have heard something like intelligence...... Is there an enemy? ”

"No, it's the team that greets us." She was so accustomed to Monia's elusiveness that she didn't look incredulous like everyone else, "At least, until we confirm the authenticity, we can only assume that they are." ”

"Meet our team?"

Unexpectedly, what caught her eye was the confused appearance of the little master.

———————————————— Dividing Line——————————————————

"Ishdamel!" The childish voice was full of anger.

"What's wrong? Little Monia. In stark contrast, the elven swordsman's calm voice and breezy posture - in fact, he also poured himself a glass of red wine gracefully, "Don't be so impulsive - learn to look at problems calmly and think calmly when encountering problems." ”

"You don't need to teach this," the mage said coldly, "and that little print is superfluous." ”

"Well," the elven swordsman asked, gulping down the contents of the cup, "is there anything wrong?" So angry? ”

"Angry?" Monia shook her head, then suddenly laughed, "I'm not there yet—but you're pretending to be like you, the welcoming party of the Land of Mountains, don't you think you can keep me in the dark if you don't tell me?" ”

Question...... No, closer to the line of sight of torture.

"That? Well, I admit that it was my negligence. "Yesterday I told Monsieur Claus and Her Highness the Princess—oh, you went to survey the terrain as you do today, and you weren't there...... I'm really sorry, but you shouldn't worry about such a trivial matter, right? ”

"How can this be a trivial matter!" Monia raised an eyebrow, "If I didn't know that those people in the canyon might be our allies...... That's the big deal. ”

"Are you kidding?" The elven swordsman seemed to just say casually, "You are a mage, and you are not a saboteur, how can you see a strange convoy that does not know the depth of the first reaction is to destroy them, no matter what, you should come back first to report...... Wait a minute. Noticing the other party's serious expression, he couldn't help but pause, "You shouldn't be serious, right?" ”

Monia didn't speak, just nodded.

If Lavana hadn't informed her, she would have reflexively wondered how to destroy the convoy with the help of the collapse of the mountain—although she hadn't returned to the spell of a large-scale change in the geology of the strata such as the earthquake technique, the mage's methods were varied, and it was not impossible to make the rock layer break and slide down with a lot of effort.

"It seems that my impression of you should be torn down and reconstructed," said Estamamel with a sigh, "but it was my negligence this time...... I apologize to you solemnly. ”

Take a deep bow.

"Okay...... I accept. ”

Although what she said was accepting, Monia's reluctant look was on her face: it was obvious that she was planning to take revenge on this bad middle-aged uncle by taking advantage of this incident, but the other party's honesty made her feel like she was punched in the air - she didn't expect that at this time, he could readily admit his mistake and completely make her unable to attack.

"Isdamel," Klaus's voice came from outside as the mage was about to leave, and then the curtain of the tent was lifted and the old elf stepped inside, "Ah, so Miss Monia is there, too." ”

"Little Monia!" Her Royal Highness the Elven Princess followed.

"Yes, Mr. Klaus." She naturally greeted the old man, and then looked at the elf girl in front of her with a headache, her voice was somewhat weak, "And His Highness Isis......"

"Your Highness Princess," the elven swordsman saluted, then shifted his gaze, "Is the elder here to wait for our convoy in the Grand Canyon of Gordo under the banner of the Skarna family?" ”

"Yes," said the old elf, "I wish to know your intentions. ”

"My plans?" Esta Mel paused slightly, "Actually, there is nothing special, I just plan to treat them as unidentified allies." Even if we are to be attacked on three sides because of this, or if they stab the enemy in the back in the middle of the battle, it is helpless - but if we are prepared in advance, we may be able to minimize our losses. ”

"Can't identify yourself?" The elven princess asked, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she couldn't help frowning, "Didn't you ask for a token or something when you made the agreement?" And also...... How could the meeting place be chosen in the Grand Canyon of Gordeaux in the first place, this is too unconscionable, right? ”

"The agreed place was proposed by our people, and I don't know why the other party didn't raise an objection." Estamel replied, with a slight bitterness in his words, "The people who chose this location didn't think about it that much at all, but simply thought that it was the only way to enter the country of mountains from the outside world, and it was quite troublesome—but he saved trouble, but it was us who were in trouble." ”

"But...... This is clearly inappropriate! The elven princess has no intention of giving up on this topic.

"But we couldn't do anything about it—Gable wasn't the country we focused on, and when we learned of the church move, we only had time to notify the nearest point of contact so that they could contact the top of the mountain." Klaus replied, and the elder of the forest sighed unconsciously as he talked about this, "I should have explained some precautions to the contact person, but when we received this news, our side was also in a mess, causing the people on the other side to rush on the road without any preparation - in general, it was the mistake of all of us." ”

"He didn't do a bad job, and we didn't know it anymore, and in that situation, we might not have been able to do better than him." "At least his efforts have allowed us to get on the line of the Skarna family and allow us to send a mission to participate in this game." ”

"Okay." In a muffled voice, it could be seen that Her Royal Highness the princess was not in a good mood.

"The past has passed, and we can't change it now, so we can only choose to accept it."

Monia said, patting the elf girl's still immature shoulder, half-comfortingly. She was well aware of the danger of choosing Gordo as the agreed location—even if the party waiting there was really a recipient sent by the Kingdom, but if both sides had let their guard down when they met, and had been unprepared against the enemy from each side of the hill, the consequences would have been predictable—if not the total annihilation, of the casualties.

But as she said, dwelling on the past won't help change the dire status quo.

People always have to look forward and move forward.

"I'll give orders over there," said Istamamel, "but Lord Elder and Your Highness the Princess, please be careful if the enemy sets up an ambush here...... Their first target should be you. ”

"I see." Klaus said, nodding.

"I'll be careful." Isis also said that she is not really a child who knows how to prioritize.

"And little Monia," the elven swordsman who received the expected reply breathed a sigh of relief and looked over to the mage, "It's up to you to support the battlefield." ”

"I remember saying that small print is redundant." Monia glared at him viciously.

"If you can," he continued, ignoring the mage's displeasure, "Mr. Klaus and Her Highness the Princess, please keep an eye on them. ”

"I can't guarantee that," Monia isn't going to be petty in business, it's just that the tide of battle is changing rapidly, and she really can't guarantee anything.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Klaus and Her Royal Highness the Princess have arranged for special protection by their side, you just need to pay a little attention to the situation in charge." Esta Mer didn't continue to provoke the mage, but simply explained what should be paid attention to, and then said, "That's pretty much, if you don't have any objections, we'll set off after a short rest—as a guest, it's not good to keep the host waiting too long." ”

He said his last sentence jokingly...... The last sentence with awe-inspiring murderous intent.
