Chapter 1 Fine Wine? Bow and arrow?
After leaving Feina City, Ye Chen and his party stopped all the way, and it took nearly half a month to finally come to the vicinity of the border of the Connors Empire, and at this time they were staying in the border town of Nantes, collecting information about the Elven Forest, after all, they were about to cross the border line and enter the Elven sphere of influence, how could they do it without doing some homework in advance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the adventurer's guild in Nantes Town, Ye Chen and his party were standing in front of the commission release board searching for a commission about the Elven Forest, but the strange thing was that there was no task on the commission board that had anything to do with the Elven Forest, which made them feel very puzzled, which was very inconsistent with the statement of regional commission mentioned in the adventurer's manual!
The so-called regional commission refers to the city where the adventurer's guild is located, and if it is close to an extremely famous adventure place, then the commission about this adventure place will occupy the majority, but the current situation in Nantes Town completely subverts this statement, obviously the closest to the Elven Forest, but there is no commission about the Elven Forest.
With this doubt, Ye Chen asked the staff in the Adventurer's Guild, and the answer was that there were indeed a lot of commissions about the Elven Forest before, and even the elves in the Elven Forest sometimes came to issue commissions, but a week ago, I don't know why all the commissions about the Elven Forest disappeared overnight.
The group left the Adventurers' Guild in frustration, and Hulim went to the Thieves' Guild in Nantes to inquire about the news, while the others tried their luck in the tavern, hoping to hear some folklore or gossip about the Elven Forest.
Walking into the tavern, Louise instinctively wrinkled her head, she was still not used to the smell of the tavern, and there was still a little resistance in her heart, but in order to be able to collect information, she still walked to the counter and asked the bartender for four drinks, and Ye Chen and they casually found a table to sit down, listening attentively to the discussion of the people around them.
Although there was a lot of discussion in the tavern, no one mentioned anything about the Elven Forest, and Louise's face couldn't help but flash a flash of disappointment, and she drank the drink in her hand with some interest, hoping that Hulim's side would get something.
A few minutes later, Ye Chen and the others also shook their heads with disappointed faces, quickly drank the drinks in their hands, exchanged glances with each other, got up and prepared to leave the tavern, at this moment, two people dressed as merchants walked into the tavern, and one of them said with a gloomy face: "Cough! I don't know what those elves think, but they suddenly drove me away after doing a good business, and there was no compensation! ”
The other smiled wryly and patted him, as if he had had the same experience, and after each of them asked for a glass of ale, they found a table and sat down and began to complain to each other, the topic of conversation always revolving around the shortcomings of the elves and how difficult it was to do business in the elven forest.
The corners of Ye Chen's mouth suddenly arced, he walked to the counter and asked for three glasses of fine ale, walked to the table of the two merchants, put down the ale in his hand, and asked with a smile: "The two eldest brothers just came back from the Elven Forest, right?" ”
A middle-aged man with a more square face among the two merchants glanced at Ye Chen, picked up the ale wine handed over by Ye Chen and took a big sip, a flash of indignation flashed in his eyes, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything, but took another sip of wine.
As soon as Ye Chen saw that there was a play, he immediately asked the waiter to bring two glasses of ale wine, and sure enough, a few glasses of ale wine went down, and the words of the two merchants gradually increased, the square-faced merchant kept spitting bitter water to Ye Chen, and the other merchant interjected a few words from time to time, echoing the words of the square-faced merchant.
"Those foul-tempered elves, Hiccup! What's the big deal! If it weren't for us, they're now, hiccup! It's not like the orcs, it's really me off! ”
"Yes, yes! Driving people out casually, confiscating goods, and the most hateful thing is that we can't get any compensation! ”
During the period when the two merchants complained, Ye Chen kept asking people to serve wine, and seeing that the two of them were gradually getting a little drunk, he felt that the time should be almost up, so he asked casually: "So, why did they drive you out?" ”
The square-faced merchant was just about to open his mouth, another merchant immediately glared at him, Ye Chen hurriedly asked someone to bring a few glasses of ale, thinking about how to persuade the wine and finally got the information he wanted, it turned out that 10 days ago, the elven forest suddenly strengthened its vigilance, and then began to slowly drive out races other than the elven race, it seemed that something big had happened.
But just as he was about to talk about what it was, another merchant coughed a few times, and the square-faced merchant immediately came to his senses, got up and said goodbye to Ye Chen, and Ye Chen got the information he wanted, so he was naturally happy to let them leave, but before leaving, he invited the two of them to have a drink.
After the two merchants left, Ye Chen got up and called Louise to leave the tavern and return to the inn, at this time Hulim also heard the news from the Thieves' Guild and also returned to the inn.
Ye Chen and Hulim immediately began to check each other's information, and found that the news they got was basically the same, it was a big incident in the Elven Forest, and there was no deeper content, so everyone had no choice but to decide to enter the Elven Forest in person tomorrow to see what was going on.
Early the next morning, everyone packed up and left Nantes Town and walked towards the Elven Forest, walking on the road, Ye Chen stared at the vast forest that was faintly visible in the distance, frowning and thinking about what happened in the Elven Forest, he felt that this happened a bit of a coincidence, they had just left Feina City on the front foot, and something happened to the Elven Forest on the back foot, it felt like they were not allowed to pass through the Elven Forest.
As they approached the Elven Forest, some green began to appear on the ground, no longer a monotonous yellow-brown color, and some trees appeared one after another around them, and when they entered the Elven Forest, the sky was obscured tightly by towering trees, only a little sunlight shone through the gaps, and no sound could be heard in the entire forest.
Looking at such a silent forest, Louise felt a little uncomfortable, she had been here when she was a child, but at that time, the Elven Forest was very lively, people came and went, and from time to time you could hear the shouts of the merchants, not like now, the silence made people feel frightening, but this just shows that something big must have happened in the Elven Forest.
Unlike Louise, Helim was quite excited, walking and jumping on the ground, whether he was humming a song or two, or picking an unknown fruit from the tree and eating it, the whole person gave people a sense of madness, so that Ye Chen had to ask out loud: "Hulim, what are you happy about?" ”
This is not nonsense, this is the Forest of Elves! Daniel, the old man, said that the Kiss of Death upgrade has something to do with the elves! Of course, Hulim could only say this from the heart, because Daniel had told him that it was better not to tell anyone else, so he could only make an excuse casually.
"Nothing! I just heard that the elves are very hospitable, we are guests from afar, and we are the partners of the brave, I don't know if there will be beautiful women and wine to greet us, think about it is very much looking forward to! ”
"Huh, huh?" It's strange to believe you, you kid definitely has a secret!
The group continued to walk forward for a while, Ye Chen felt that there seemed to be a strange sound in the woods, so he stopped and listened carefully, and Hulim, who was in excitement at this time, did not notice the sound in the woods, and continued to walk forward.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Rustle!
This time, Ye Chen finally heard the sound coming from the woods, which seemed to be the small sound of armor colliding, as well as the sound of people running rapidly in the grass, the friction of shoes against the grass, and he hurriedly shouted to Hulim in front of him: "Hulim, come back!" ”
Sou!
An arrow flew out of the woods in front of him and stuck at Hulym's feet, causing Hulim to break out in a cold sweat and hurriedly ran back, staring at the woods in front of him.
And Ye Chen glanced at Hulim, who was nervous, and then at the arrow that was inserted on the ground and couldn't stop trembling, with a wry smile on his face, where is this beauty and wine? This is obviously the bow and arrow and the Grim Reaper! (To be continued.) )
