After saying that, Gail sat up straight, and formally apologized to the bone.

"Please forgive me for my previous doubts. To be honest, I didn't think you were qualified to be a mercenary.

You must know that there is a famous saying among martial artists, that is, fighting spirit determines everything. It's even more reliable than the realm of vindictiveness.

You can't use your fighting spirit, and you're not even a warrior in the eyes of others, let alone be the mercenary who loves to lose your head.

But now I'm relieved, and I actually believe that if you fight to get me to cut a sword, you definitely have a chance to hit me.

I haven't tried it, but I think it must be unpleasant. ”

Gail's words were sincere and fair.

"No, no, of course I understand your thoughts, as anyone would think. It's hard for you to be so enthusiastic and still learn from me.

But you're really good, I'm no match at all. This time it was too bad. ”

Grassbone is not blindly confident, he knows that Gale still has a short sword and iron whip on him, Grassbone doesn't believe it, those two things are just for coolness.

"We have a chance to talk. ”

"You live next door to me, and the opportunity is haha. ”

After the two chatted a few more words, Chi Gu said goodbye to Gale and agreed to go to the martial arts department together early tomorrow morning.

Chi Bone returned to his single dormitory, which had been uninhabited for a long time, and although the yard was tidy, the room was still covered with a thick layer of dust and leaky cobwebs hanging in the corners.

The room is divided into two floors, and although the rooms are not large, they have all the kitchen and bathroom.

When Worm went to the tavern with Cassel and Joseph, the attentive Vic instructed his men to prepare something for Worm to stay.

Chi Bone picked up a basin and rag and took some water, wiped the room up and down, and then spread the futon prepared by Vic on the bed, and the attentive Vic also prepared a magic lamp and a clock.

Chi Gu lay on the bed, his hands resting behind his head, thinking about the past and the future.

He thought of Thea, who was far away in the Elven Empire, and the moment Thea appeared in his mind, deep thoughts also came like a tide, out of control.

Although Thea's refusal hurt his heart, he knew that maybe Thea might be even more painful than he was at that time.

After all, it was she who needed to speak. obviously likes himself, but he has to bury this relationship that has not yet begun. Thinking of this, a tear overflowed his eyes and slowly swept across his cheek.

......

Far away in the Elven Empire Royal City Council Hall in the east of the Orion Empire, the Elven Queen and the four patriarchs of the Elven Clan gathered at this time.

The Elven Queen sat upright, but the expression on her face was a little tired.

"Now that the form of the Dark Forest is becoming more and more severe, the expansion of the Dark Realm has suddenly accelerated.

All of the elves who had recently entered the Dark Forest to scout had disappeared, as had never happened before. Those Dark Treants must have found a way to find the elf.

Laura: How's the dwarves going, is their patriarch back? ”

Laura nodded and replied, "There was news from the Heavenly Clan that the Bronze Hammer Patriarch had returned to the Dwarven Tribe, and he would be happy to help us explore the Dark Forest. ”

"It's really good news, ask them to find out as soon as possible, and let them say whatever they need. ”

The Elven Queen's frown finally loosened a little, the only good news she'd heard all these days.

"Wine and ore are almost all their hobbies, and your Majesty need not worry about that.

But with all due respect, Your Majesty, these drinkers are not good at being scouts.

With their rude and straightforward nature, they will definitely be more easily spotted by those dark treants than elves. Laura (the patriarch of the mountain elves) said with a frown, she knew these dwarves best, after all, they had been together for hundreds of years.

Hundreds of years ago, these dwarves who had fled from their homeland came to the tribe of the mountain elves and chose to cling to this powerful empire.

Due to their straightforward personalities, and all of them are good at crafting weapons. So Laura accepted them and divided a piece of land for them.

They did their best to build weapons for the elves.

The dwarves grow their own grain, make their own wine, and hunt on their own, so to speak, are completely self-sufficient.

The mountain elves are also very hospitable, and always bring some Terran spirits to give to the dwarves. The two races got along very happily.

"Your Majesty, how about asking for help from the Terrans? Let the knights take the green dragon to AXavier, it won't take more than a few days to come and go. Angelina (Green Elf Patriarch) reminded.

The fire elves and sea elves patriarchs were also eye-catching, and they both thought it was a good idea.

The Elven Queen thought for a moment, but still shook her head and said, "We just helped AXavier, it's only been a few days, and now we are asking them to reciprocate, this ......

Besides, we are not helpless, there are several ghost cloaks in the treasury, which can also be used to block the breath of elves.

As long as the dwarves are restrained, they should be fine. ”

The Spectre Cloak is a crafted from extremely rare materials. After wearing the ghost cloak, it can block all breath and even soul fluctuations of the user.

Elves are a highly self-respecting race, and their willingness to help others does not mean that they are willing to ask for help.

The dwarves living in the mountain elves are different, as a dependent race, it can be said that they are also members of their elven race.

As soon as the Elven Queen told her about her idea, the other team leaders agreed.

"Let Renata lead the team, she's been living with the dwarves since she was a child, and they're more familiar with each other. With Renata here, she should be able to control these dwarves. Laura suggested.

Renata is Laura's daughter and a princess of the Mountain Elves' generation.

"Okay, let's do it, let Thea go to the Dark Forest, replace Renata, and let her set off with the dwarves as soon as possible. I suspect that the weakening of the mother tree has something to do with the dark treemen. The Elven Queen commanded.

"There's news from the rescue team, they've caught a slave catcher. After being tortured, they confessed to being from the Orion Empire. The rescue team has entered Orion to investigate.

These damned Terrans, the O'Lanes who don't have a long memory, have they forgotten the blood they shed back then?

The rescue team is directly in charge of the fire elf patriarch Amanda. The fiery patriarch, like her mother, would never be stingy in waging another war against the Terrans.

"Let the rescue team only probe and rescue, pay attention to concealing identities, and try not to have a diplomatic conflict. We don't have the energy to provoke another war now. The elf queen gently rubbed her somewhat sore forehead and sighed.

Due to the current tense situation in the Elven Empire, the patriarchs of various clans have always lived in the Elven Palace, and temporary meetings will be held at any time.

The affairs within each clan are replaced by the princesses of each clan, and every once in a while, an elven princess goes to the defense line to rotate to assist the legion leader, and now the deputy commander of the defense line is Renata.

The Elven King City and the Elven Mother Tree are located within the Green Elf Tribe. All the trees in the entire Green Elf tribe can be said to be the descendants of the Elven Mother Tree.

An hour later, Thea met her mother, Angelina.

"Thea, Your Majesty has asked you to go to the defense line now to replace Renata. Renata is going to explore the Dark Forest with the dwarves. The dwarves have received word that they will be leaving soon, and you take this ghost cloak and give it to Renata. ”

Angelina hugged Thea cordially. Although both mother and daughter are in the territory of the Green Elves, Angelina has been staying in the palace lately, and it is difficult for her to come out to see her even if she misses her daughter.

Thea took the ghost cloak handed by Angelina and said with some concern, "But now it's not sure how the elf who went to investigate disappeared. Isn't it too dangerous to let Renata go at this time? maybe...... Perhaps he should turn to Ayxavier for help. ”

As she spoke, Thea gradually lost her mind.

Angelina didn't notice Thea's expression, just looked up and sighed, "I, like you, also made this suggestion.

However, His Majesty felt that it was a bit ...... to immediately change from a benefactor to a help-seeker Forget Thea, don't think about it.

Your Majesty has given an order, you better hurry up, I have prepared the green dragon for you, and this matter cannot be delayed. ”

Thea took the ghost cloak, said goodbye to her mother with some reluctance, and turned to leave the room.

The elven guards accompanying him outside the door had already prepared Thea's luggage.

Thea skillfully jumped onto the green dragon's broad back and sat down steadily on the dragon's saddle.

Waved goodbye to her mother, who had come to see her off outside the temple, and patted the dark green slender neck of the green dragon. With a crisp chirp, the green dragon flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

......

Orion Empire, Verbo City, East City.

Gail walked into an alley, and in an inconspicuous place deep in the alley, there was a plain-looking black wooden door.

Gale cautiously glanced left and right, and when he was sure that no one was following, he stepped forward, pulled out his pocket watch, looked at it, and then knocked on the wooden door in a peculiar rhythm.

Gale stood still and did not leave, watching the second hand take fifteen steps, and after he had taken fifteen steps, he knocked on the wooden door again, this time with a different rhythm than the last time.

Gail put away his pocket watch and waited quietly.

There was a "click" and the door was opened from the inside. Gail calmly pushed open the wooden door and walked inside.

It was a thin boy who opened the door for him, and he glanced at Gail with some curiosity, and walked inside.

Gail followed him through a hallway to a secret room. As soon as he entered the secret room, the laughter of a hoarse old man could be heard inside.

"Hahaha! Gail, I'm so glad to see you. It's been a long time since you've been here, and the wind is blowing you. ”

The chamber wasn't very spacious, and a wrinkled, one-eyed old man stood up from his chair and opened his arms to give Gail a hug.

"Save it, old Paul, I think you're so happy when you smell gold. Damn, why pick such a remote place, aren't you afraid that your employer won't find it. ”

Gail, despite his disdainful expression, gave Paul Sr. a hug.

"I don't think my enemies mind if I move down Main Street so they can hang my head on the door at any time.

I've been doing intelligence for so many years, and being careful is the number one dogma I've lived to this point. I don't want everyone on the street to know I'm an information monger. Old Paul teased with his hands outstretched.

"Okay, no more nonsense, let's talk, what do you need?" said old Paul, who put away his pompous movements, and his expression became serious.
