Chapter 46: The City of Salento
The frost arrow, which looked slightly thicker than the blade, flew straight towards the Wyvern with a cold aura, leaving a white trail in the air.
Vane was shocked in his heart, the scene in front of him was similar to the flame in Minister Rostry's hand, and he couldn't help but be a little distracted for a while.
"Smack!" the frost arrow slammed into the left wing of the Wyvern, making a soft sound. The tiny frost arrows were a stark contrast to the Wyvern, but instead of shattering as Vane had imagined, the frost arrows simply vanished.
The body of the two-legged wyvern was like paper that had fallen into the water, and the frost began to spread rapidly through its body from the point of impact. The Wyvern let out one last reluctant roar, but the sound stopped abruptly—the ice and snow sculpture could not make a sound.
The bipedal wyvern, which was unable to deal effective damage with a missile launcher, was frozen into an ice sculpture by a primary magic. The air fell silent for a while, and everyone looked at each other, guessing the identity of this person.
The Green Cloak didn't give them much time, he turned around, his gaze swept over everyone, and then quickly said, "Adventurers, I'm Leonard, the captain of the City Defense Team of Salento. The enemy will soon attack the city of Salento, so please come with me for your safety. His accent was the same as the woman before him, making it sound a little awkward.
Looking closely, Leonard has fair skin, a straight nose, bright eyebrows, and pointed ears sticking out of the blonde hair on both sides - it turned out to be an elf, a male elf more delicate than a woman, which seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the identity of the city defense captain. But whether in terms of strength or temperament, it shows that the person named Leonard in front of him is not ordinary.
"Is this really Salento City?" asked Ise in a whisper. Leonard didn't answer, but gestured for everyone to stand on the silver disc as well. Something strange happened, and the disc stretched out like molten metal, quickly turning into a disc large enough to stand on seven or eight adults.
Although the crowd was surprised, they didn't ask much, and stood up one after another. The large silver disc looked flattered, and it was firmly suspended in the air, not shaking from anyone standing on it. Soon the disc began to accelerate towards the city of Salento.
The space on the disc didn't seem to belong to this world, and Vane didn't feel the slightest instability in his center of gravity caused by acceleration. The disc moved forward silently, and if it weren't for the scenery receding backwards, Vane would have wondered if they were actually moving.
The city of Salento is becoming clearer and clearer in view. The walls are about twenty or thirty meters high and are made of large blocks of milky white rock. At intervals between the city walls, a watchtower rises and protrudes outwards in an arc. There were many people on the city wall, and there was an air of slaughter.
Leonard waved at the guards on the ramparts, and the heavy gate rumbled open a crack, and the disc carried the crowd nimbly through the middle. Then the gates were closed again.
"Whew, it's finally safe. Elena let out a sigh of relief. Most of the tension had dissipated, and they began to look around curiously.
Directly in front of the doorway of the city wall is a wide stone street leading to the city, and most of the houses on both sides have closed doors and windows, and a group of elven soldiers is running in line in the direction of the city wall. The gates made of giant wood and metal, the walls tens of meters wide, and the well-equipped and well-trained elven warriors all make people feel safe.
The silver disc at his feet slowly landed in the doorway of the wall, and it began to shrink rapidly, and soon it was the same size as it had been seen at the beginning. At this moment, Leonard stretched out his arm, and the disc flew up quickly, clinging to the back of his hand.
"Is this a shield?" Felder asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
"You can think of it that way, it can also be a lot of things. Leonard explained. He saw the confusion in everyone's eyes, so he continued to explain: "In fact, it is a newly developed programmable material, and the one you were flying in just now is an anti-gravity vehicle, and it could be-"
Before the words fell, the shield on the back of Leonard's hand had begun to "melt". Drops of silver water peeled off the surface of the shield and sprang around his body. The droplets soon split into countless smaller droplets, which were then stretched into silvery filaments. The silver filaments flew up and down, as if manipulated by an invisible hand, and in an instant, Leonard's whole body shot out a little silver light, like a group of stars.
Soon the silver light dissipated, and the shield had been transformed into a battle suit worn on Leonard. The clothes and pants woven from silver filament are exquisite, full of a sense of technology that transcends time and space.
Felder had been a little dizzy by a series of Ancient Elf technologies, and at this time, the status of goblin technology in his heart had been reduced to the level of "primitive". Suppressing his passion, he asked, "Captain Leonard, do you have any more materials like this?" ”
"This material has just been developed, and this is the only one in the Akanster continent that I got from the Advance Force laboratory on the continent of Lafrey a few months ago. And to use this material, one needs to take a capsule, which is again only one. Leonard shrugged as he spoke.
Felder was poured a scoop of cold water with enthusiasm, and could only look at the silver silk combat uniform and sigh lowly.
"Then adventurers, I need to assist the Duke in defending the city, and you can take a tour of the city. Leonard smiled confidently and added, "Don't worry too much, it's just routine beast defense. Leonard said goodbye to the crowd and turned away, and no one saw the worry hidden between his brows as he turned.
"And where are we going now?" Felder had just stepped out of the doorway of the wall, looking around with an excited look. Probably because of the approaching beasts, the streets were deserted, the doors and windows of the houses made of large white rocks on both sides were closed, and there were no pedestrians in sight on the streets, except for the occasional soldier walking by.
"Don't you think it's strange, we're in the legendary kingdom of the Old Elves of Salento!" Elena ignored Feld, she paused and said in a somewhat serious tone.
"Yes, not only that, but the city seems to have more power than you can imagine. What was the matter with the woman's intention of guarding the city of Salento, and what beast could threaten such a city?"
"The strangest thing is that the elves here all speak a broken lingua franca!" added Ise aloud.
"Hey, you guys can't stay here. yes, you weird guys. A commanding voice came from behind. Vane turned his head to see a tall male elf standing at the entrance to the city wall, pointing at them. He wore leather boots and a black cloak, and was richly dressed with a sword at his waist.
Seeing a few people turn their heads, the male elf put his hand down and leaned on the hilt of his sword, with a lazy smile on the corner of his mouth, tilted his head to look at them and said: "Now this is a combat area, if you continue to stay here, then I can't guarantee that you will be able to see the sun tomorrow morning." ”
Just then, a soldier trotted down from the city wall and came to the side of the tall male elf and said something to him. The face of the tall male elf turned from sunny to cloudy, and he turned and walked quickly towards the city wall.
