No matter how much suspicion she had about Loren's ways, Leah could only choose to trust the wizard for now - as he said, winter was about to leave, and the elves of the Morning Star Forest had little time left. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After winning the initial favor of the elven elders, and offering some "worthless" greeting gifts, he finally got the status of "guest", was allowed to temporarily live in the cloud canopy tree, and was free to visit the entire settlement with the elves accompanied.

And the "generous gift" of this black-haired wizard also made the elves feel a lot more kind to him, after all, it is really difficult for you to be hostile to a guest who comes with a friendly heart, especially those gifts are all the things that the elves urgently need.

No matter how prosperous the Ancient Wood Forest is, the minerals in this land are so scarce that it is impossible to forge weapons without iron ingots, and the delicate leather armor also requires a long production cycle, and healing medicines are also scarce, these are not "small gifts" that can be taken lightly.

Although he could still sense the elves' distrust of his people, Loren was not worried - it was not easy to establish friendships, especially between two completely different races, and it would take a lot of patience to do so.

Now all you have to do is wait for the nod of Duke Lothair to send the first batch of supplies to the Morning Star Forest. Of course, it certainly won't be without a price, but that has nothing to do with Loren, he is just an envoy of Ruben Fried, and such an important matter as the alliance between the two sides is not something he can say.

On a sunny day, several young elves with spears were practicing under the guidance of an elder, slender figures walking on the branches of the trees, each stabbing towards the "instructor" from a different direction.

The older elves were bare-handed, even with their hands behind their backs, stepping on the swaying branches under their feet to dodge the stabbing spears, and only when three spears appeared at the same time would they leap from the branches, and then they were once again surrounded by the young elves.

And not far away, a few elves were quickly shuttling between the branches and the shade of the trees, while raising the throwing guns in their hands and throwing them at the wooden target standing in the center, the sound of a rain storm echoed, and the entire wooden target was almost full of throwing guns, and it was not easy to even find the gap.

Loren, who was originally just looking at it casually, finally observed it carefully, his dark pupils carefully analyzed every movement of these elves, and the light steps and vigorous figures were like leaves fluttering in the wind.

"How it feels, that's how we elves fight. ”

Luca, who didn't know when he appeared, stood beside Loren and smiled gently: "Unlike you humans, our enemies are monsters much bigger than us, and there is absolutely no chance of winning in the face of such an enemy. ”

"But the forest is our comrade-in-arms, and with the power of the ancient wood forest, even if we are weak, we can fight to the end in front of ogres. ”

With that, Lukka handed Loren his spear and throwing spear. The black-haired wizard scrutinized the weapon in his hand - the barrel was very strong, presumably made of old wood, and had been handled with great care, and the tip of the spear was specially forged, looking like a slightly smaller short sword, unusually sharp.

The other spear was much shorter, only about a meter, but the tip of the spear took up a quarter, and the shape was more similar to a triangular pyramid, and all the wood of the shaft was much harder and heavier than that of the spear.

"We grapple with ogres with spears, weapons that can cut their flesh and tendons and bleed them, and spears that pierce their bodies and kill them with a single blow if we're lucky!"

"Very interesting way to fight. A smile rose at the corner of Loren's mouth, who casually lifted the spear: "Can all the elves fight the ogre like this?"

"Only some of them can be done. Lukka smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Most of the warriors can only use the cover of the forest to harass their movements with throwing guns and traps, and if you want to kill the ogre, you still need a war dancer." ”

"Like Miss Leah?"

"She's a natural war dancer, and I'm afraid I wasn't even qualified to reprimand her when I was Leah's age - and even now, it's only a matter of time before she overtakes me. ”

As he spoke, Lukka brought another spear from the side and smiled on his face, "Would you like to try it with me, Lord Loren?"

"How can you refuse?" the black-haired wizard changed his robe to reveal the armor underneath, and held his spear in the same posture as the elf, "I hope you can correct me more." ”

"Gladly. ”

The two men were facing each other less than ten paces apart, and although their expressions were relaxed, they didn't even blink their eyes.

"Bell-!"

The tip of the spear jerked up on the trunk, and Lukka, with a whistling sound, was the first to move.

Without hesitation, Loren threw out the spear in his right hand and stepped behind him with his spear raised. Luka, who dodged the spear, did not hesitate, and approached Loren like a black shadow, and in an instant, the two were less than three steps apart!

The spear in front of him kept moving to the side, and the thunderous spear was blasting into the trunk of the tree behind him, but it never really hit him.

Spun sideways, dodging the head-on spear. Luka gripped the barrel of the gun with his left hand and stabbed Loren in a half-arc from the bottom to the top!

It is impossible for a black-haired wizard who is close to him to block this with a gun, and if he dodges, he will be directly swept in the back by the opponent with a gun, falling directly from a branch to the ground.

Suddenly, Loren put the spear away, grasped the end of the spear with his left hand, and swept it with the tail of the barrel. With a whistling sound tearing through the air, it was aimed at Luka's cheek!

The startled elf immediately retracted the tip of the spear and blocked it horizontally in front of him. Finally, Loren found the gap, rolled over and dodged, and reopened the distance.

"You must be good at grappling, right?" Lukka, who held the gun in both hands, curled the corners of his mouth and lowered his body to press the tip of the gun in front of his feet, "But in the fight against ogres, this tactic of distance is useless - the more you fear the enemy, the more you will be defeated by fear." ”

"Only constant approaching, non-stop attacking, is the key to victory!"

In the middle of the words, Lukka had already launched another attack, and the swift figure was rushing forward, the spear in his hand pressing close to his feet.

Just when Loren thought that the other party would stab him from the bottom up, Lukka suddenly jumped up, and the spear danced like a full moon in mid-air, swinging down from mid-air with unrivaled momentum!

The dark-haired wizard with a calm face gripped the barrel of the gun with his backhand, and the spear in his hand cut a half-arc, stabbing Lukka into the center of his brow as it was about to fall.

This is clearly a trick I just used!

The wide-eyed Lukka didn't have time to stop, the spear stopped in mid-air, and it just stopped his gun with an upward swing, but he hit Loren right in the chest, and the huge inertia almost threw the two of them down together.

A somewhat frightened Lukka stood on the edge of the branch, if he was alone, even if he fell, he could find a way to borrow his strength, but the human beside him ......

When I looked back, I saw that Loren, who had recovered, was leaning against the trunk of the tree, carefully observing the spear in his hand, as if he had made some new discovery.

"I thought it would be on the heavy side, but I didn't expect it to be balanced to such an extent that it wouldn't have extra weight even if I held the tail of the gun. The dark-haired wizard's eyes widened and looked curiously: "It's really unimaginable, is it because of the material of the gun?"

Luka, who smiled bitterly, shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know, the craftsmen are responsible for making the spears." ”

"Your combat experience is truly amazing, it's the first time I've seen someone who can learn to use a spear so quickly. Luka's expression was somewhat complicated: "If you are an elf, you must be a war dancer who is not inferior to Leah!"

"Hmm...... I don't think she likes it when you say that. Loren, chuckling, threw the spear at Luca, picked up another one on the ground on tiptoe, and spun it in mid-air in a circle.

"Do you want another round, Lord Lukka the War Dancer?"
