"Boss, Luke, they're fighting the humans."

Before Sherlock could sort out the sudden pile of information in his mind, a half-elf hurried over and shouted anxiously.

This boss, it is naturally him who shouts.

Back in the first year of the Vale Era, Sherlock was a half-elven druid attached to the Elves, leading a team of more than 2,000 people to patrol the southern part of the Comanso Forest.

Luke is one of his squad leaders, and of course a half-elf.

Although it is not yet possible to determine the exact time point, it should not be too far away from the signing of the Valley Pact at this time.

At this juncture, any conflict between humans and elves may lead to further intensification of the conflict between the two races, which will affect the signing of the treaty.

Thinking of this, Sherlock couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter?" ”

"There were a few humans who secretly cut down trees, and when Luke found out, he stepped forward to dissuade them, and then they quarreled and started fighting." The half-elf who came to report briefly described what had happened.

"Where are they now?" Sherlock asked.

"Gao Yue!"

In the actual timeline, High Moon is the capital of the Deep Forest Valley, and is the town in the second collection of humans, elves and half-elves on the continent of Faeron, second only to Silvermoon City in the Northlands.

It's just that the city is only about 300 years old, and today it should be just a tree-lined path adjacent to the arch forest.

Strictly speaking, Gao Yue is already the southernmost part of the Comanso Forest, and further south are the two human kingdoms of Cormier and Sambia.

This special geographical location is destined for this place not to be too peaceful.

Because of the problem of deforestation, the conflict between humans and half-elves is staged here almost every day.

In the vast majority of cases, the Half-Elf Patrols will choose to drive the humans away;

Occasionally, when they encounter a bad attitude, they will only be punished slightly, so that they will suffer a little bit of flesh and skin.

However, this time, when Sherlock and the people rushed to Takatsuki, he found that the situation seemed a little unusual.

Several human corpses were already lying on the blood-colored grass, and the rest were all badly injured.

But even so, they still did not flinch, but attacked the well-equipped and well-conditioned half-elf patrols more and more frantically, as if they had a great grudge.

Green silk disc shoes!

Dozens of vines rose from the ground, and under the control of Flower Leaf Tin, they wrapped around several people who were fighting.

The humans were imprisoned in place, and the half-elves were pulled back to Sherlock.

"Don't let these humans die." Sherlock gave a word of advice, then turned around and asked, "Luke, what's going on?" ”

Luke was also relieved to see that it was his own people, and said angrily: "These humans dare to cut down the Sunset Tree!" ”

There are many types of trees in the Comanso Forest, but the most common are the oak tree, the sunset tree, and the moonlight tree.

Oak trees are the fastest-growing, most numerous, and least valuable, and it doesn't matter if humans cut them down once in a while.

However, the Sunset Tree and the Moon Light Tree were carefully cultivated by the Sun Elves and Moon Elves clans, and they contained a strong natural power that could not be touched by others at all.

If human logging is discovered, the patrol must be punished severely.

"Even if it's Sunset Wood, you don't have to kill them."

"We just wanted to teach them a lesson, but who knew they would actually ......" Luke gritted his teeth and said, "Call us 'No-Maje'!" ”

'No-Maj' was supposed to mean half-blood, but in the human settlements around the Comanso Forest, it is used exclusively to refer to half-elves, which is a very insulting term.

Hearing this word, the surrounding patrols couldn't help but show a trace of sorrow, and even a few couldn't help but curse.

With Luke's explanation, Sherlock gradually understood the cause and process of this conflict.

The first is that these men cut down Sunset Wood, which is discovered by Luke's team.

Then, in the course of the argument, the humans made insulting remarks, angering Luke and the half-elf patrolmen, so the two sides made a big move.

However, the equipment and strength of the half-elf patrol were obviously overwhelming the human side, so even if Luke and the others had shown mercy later, six people still died on the human side.

There's nothing wrong with this logic, but Sherlock obviously won't just take Luke's word for it.

Just as he was about to go over and interrogate the humans over there, dozens of arrows suddenly fell from the sky.

Hurricane Bombardment!

Sherlock stretched out his right hand, and with a spin of his palm into the air, a violent air current appeared out of thin air, shattering all the arrows into pieces.

"Boss, it must be human reinforcements coming." Luke hurriedly reminded.

"There are quite a few people coming." Sherlock took a cursory glance at the crowd that had rushed out of the woods, about a hundred of them.

The conflict of hundreds of people is not small, and this time there is still blood and death.

In the face of such a big battle, several half-elf patrols began to panic a little.

"Boss, what should I do?" Luke suggested, "Why don't we run first." “

"No, you just need to insist that these humans are the first to provoke, and you just defend yourself and fight back." Sherlock waved his hand, calming the emotions of several of the team members, and then stepped forward alone.

At this time, the person has been killed, and running away is undoubtedly the stupidest thing to do, which is tantamount to confirming his own murderous behavior, and by the way, he also gave the right of interpretation to the other side.

"Kill these half-elves and avenge your brothers!"

With a shout, hundreds of humans had already rushed in front of them.

Most of these humans are warriors, thieves, and rangers, and most of them are below level 50, except for the bald giant with a two-handed axe in the lead, who is a level 57 gladiator.

This is also the reason why Sherlock dared to step forward alone.

Natural Transformation - Demon Dragon Form!

A few of the fastest humans were just about to swing their weapons, only to feel a shadow suddenly fall, and they saw a dark black dragon splashed with fire all over their body looking straight at them, and a black flame in its mouth was about to erupt.

"Get out of the way!"

Without being reminded by the people in front of them, the moment they saw the Black Flame Demon Dragon, everyone stopped charging and fled to the side.

Dragon's breath!

Under Sherlock's restraint, the black dragon flame scorched all the way along the space that the humans had left behind.

The flowers and trees on the path, and even the soil on the surface of the ground, were burned to ashes in an instant.

It's easy to burn people up with this kind of power.

It's just that if these more than 100 people are burned directly, the conflict between humans and elves in the Deep Forest Valley will inevitably intensify, and it may even affect the neutral attitude of the Deep Forest Valley towards the elves all along.

Therefore, Sherlock's dragon breath is more to play a deterrent effect.

You can't escape, you can't kill, and of course you can't coax it.

Only by showing absolute strength can you make others jealous and make them willing to calm down and listen to your explanation.

"Humans, do you want to provoke a war?" Sherlock clawed the highest-ranking gladiator to the ground and roared in a low voice.

The bald giant couldn't move, so he could only shout: "If peace is built on the blood of the people, what does it matter if you provoke a war?" “

"It is true that peace should not be built on blood, but it also cannot be built on chaos." With a wave of Sherlock's hand, the first few humans were dragged up.

The bald giant thought it was another simple logging incident, and immediately defended it, "The Comanso Forest belongs to all the people who live here, and we cut down trees just to survive." ”

"Do you need to cut down the Sunset Tree in order to survive?" Seeing that both sides had calmed down, Sherlock let go of his claws and changed back to his half-elf appearance: "Not to mention, they also insulted our half-elf clan. ”

"No way, they ......," exclaimed the bald giant.

"Nothing is impossible, you humans have always been so greedy and arrogant." Sherlock pressed step by step, "If you don't believe me, you can ask yourself." “

"Fuck your fart, the Comanso Forest is not an elf, let alone you 'Nomaji', I can cut as much as I want." However, before the bald giant could ask, the humans bound by the vines scolded: "Chilz, kill these 'No-Maji' and avenge the brothers." ”

This scolding has completely blinded both sides.

Sherlock originally thought that the other party would quibble a few words, or simply deny his crime, so he was specially prepared to present evidence, who would have thought that now this person would directly blow himself up and put the evidence in front of everyone.

And the bald giant Chilz is undoubtedly even more of a headache.

If this is the case, they really can't legally hold these half-elves accountable.

What's more, now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, they can't beat people at all.

You shouted 'Ma Ji' and 'avenge your brothers', didn't you push them to a dead end?

Sherlock stopped Luke, who was about to make a move, and spoke again: "For the sake of the friendship of the human race, my patrol members have repeatedly endured, but they did not expect that in exchange for more vicious revenge, they accidentally injured a few people in a hurry, for this, I am extremely sorry, and we are willing to make a certain amount of compensation for this." ”

"Sooner or later, we humans will occupy the entire Comanso Forest, and then let your master take your dogs back to Yongju Island."

Chilz really has an urge to strangle these people to death at this time, you just say this in private, say it in front of others, something really happened.

Immediately, he stopped holding him accountable for the incident, took Sherlock's gold coins and left with the man and the corpse.

Sherlock finally managed to dissuade the humans, and the patrols on his side started a ruckus again.

"Boss, it's obviously human fault, why do we apologize." Luke was indignant.

"Then you're absolutely not wrong?" Sherlock asked rhetorically.

"Of course not!"

"Then do you know what the consequences will be if this matter is stabbed to the Elven Council?"

"I ......," Luke tried to argue, pausing but never being able to continue.

In fact, he didn't say it, and the patrol members also knew the result.

For nearly a thousand years, the elves seem to still maintain the scenery of the crown period, but in fact, they have long been in trouble both internally and externally.

Inside, the sun elves, moon elves, wild elves, and wood elves are at odds, and there are even dark elves who are haunting in the dark.

Externally, the powerful human race continues to encroach on the territory of the elves.

Therefore, at this time, if the human race is a little stronger and really uses this matter to attack the elf clan, the elven council, which is unwilling to pierce this layer of strong illusion, is very likely to push them out to appease the emotions of the human race.

Why are they so convinced?

Because this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened.

"I really can't understand why we should be caught in the middle of the way when we have the magical talent of elves and the creativity and learning ability of humans." Luke slammed his sword into the ground.

"That's it, if you want me to say that they fight."

"What's good, it's not like we're at the forefront of the fight."

"I think they're going to have to fight sooner or later, or let's go."

"Let's go, where can we go, our relatives are still here!"

……

Sherlock listened to his men's complaints, and learned a little more about the signing of the Entente of the Vale.

This pact not only alleviated the conflict between humans and elves, but also had a profound impact on the situation of the half-elves.

Humans, elves, and half-elves, these three races have actually occupied the stage for most of the future Faeron Continent.

And this may be the reason why the Valley Entente has such an important place in history, and even uses it as an epoch.

To be able to participate in such an important historical process, even if it is only in a special copy, Sherlock is still beginning to look forward to it.

And the Book of Truth immediately responded to his expectations.
