After a period of difficult communication, of course, accompanied by a bit of force suppression: Su Yan taught the five elves who tried to instigate Anna to run away from home and leave with them how to behave, oh no, how to be elves, now these five fifty-year-old elves who are still minors are too well-behaved and look like good babies.

The battlefield environment has basically been cleaned.

None of the detachments sent out by the Guns of Freedom to carry out their missions survived.

There are eight merchants who have given commissions to the Spear of Freedom mercenary group.

Including a team leader, two accountants, an account auditor, and four porters, all died at the hands of the two elves who were responsible for breaking into the enemy line.

It can be said that apart from Su Yan and Anna, no third person knows how this caravan fell.

So now Su Yan and the others can sit here and talk.

"So, this is your trial mission?" Su Yan sat in the carriage and asked.

He had just scraped all the money bags of the unlucky, and it was quite rewarding.

"Yes. Lord Antioch said that if we can't successfully complete this task, it proves that we are not ready to go out and practice. ”

Su Yan knows, I always like this, "Lord Antia said" The elf on her lips is called Notia - of course, this is her nickname, the full name is not only yo mouth but also very long, it seems that only the elf named Antia in the whole village can say it completely - Su Yan even felt that since even her parents would call her name wrong, why did she give her such a long name in the first place?

However, it is precisely because this "Lord Antia" can accurately call her full name every time, so Nodia likes Antia very much.

She is also the captain of this temporary five-member team, and is the best at archery, but she also dabbles in swordsmanship.

In terms of the selection of captains, the arrangement of the elves is also arranged according to the strength of the elves.

Therefore, Notia has a strength of thirty levels, which is the highest among the five, and has also mastered four combat skills. And not only that, Notia also has the honorary title of "Eagle Eye" - an honorary title given to the marksman by the elves. But if you think that Nodia only knows how to shoot, then her swordsmanship is definitely enough to cost the lives of anyone who dares to underestimate her: when it comes to swordsmanship, Nodia is no less talented.

By human standards, Notia is a genius to his deserved.

However, it is not surprising that such a genius is the captain of the team.

Or rather, it was taken for granted.

But the fact that there is a second person in this five-man squad who is also worthy of being called a genius is enough to surprise people.

Because of the notoriously low fertility rate of the elves, if a genius is born, they are often quickly cultivated to take charge of themselves: in other words, when they are thrown out for training, they must also take on the role of captain, and it is almost impossible to put two geniuses in the same squad.

However, when Su Yan learned who the second genius in this squad was, he was not surprised at all.

The elf female swordsman who was called by Su Yan "It's a miracle that she didn't get killed when she grew so big".

Obviously, the reason why this guy wasn't killed was not only because she was a lady, but also because she was a genius - according to Notia, most of the people who tried to kill her were put in the special care unit by her. This is also the reason why she thinks that Su Yan is inferior to herself, not because of her blind arrogance and ignorance, but because she is indeed a genius, and she has this superhuman self-confidence.

However, given her bad personality, if she were to be a captain in another team, it was estimated that the team would probably be finished as soon as she went out.

That's why this guy was placed in Nodia's team by "Master Antia", because only Nodia can hold her down.

But in Su Yan's opinion, the growth potential of this little guy is definitely above Notia.

Because, now that she is only level twenty-nine, she has already touched the threshold of [Sword Dancer] - this is a race-specific profession that belongs exclusively to the elven race, and its rank is equivalent to the [Death Knight] of the undead race, which is a veritable fourth-order profession. It is also the culmination of the elves in swordsmanship, the precursor of the fifth-order [Sword Killer]: if you want to work in this profession, you must work as a [Sword Dancer], otherwise there will be no play.

She was also the only one among the five who could hold on to Su Yan's attack for more than five seconds: everyone else was knocked down by Su Yan with one sword, and only she held out to the third sword.

But Su Yan didn't do his best.

But that didn't stop Su Yan from remembering her name: Eliol. Claydy, nicknamed Il.

Of course, Su Yan still couldn't tell who these people were.

"What exactly are you recycling?" Su Yan said with some curiosity.

He knew that the elves would have a trial mission before they became adults, and only after passing this trial mission could they be allowed to participate in the next training adventure: all elves who had obtained the experience qualification could leave the race for ten years, venture in this vast world, and only return to the race until the eve of the coming-of-age festival. After that, they will take up different positions in the community based on what they have seen and heard and deeds they have experienced in the past ten years.

To put it bluntly, the elven clan's outing experience is a way to gild and brush up on qualifications.

In this regard, these situations of the elves are somewhat similar to the setting of the elves in "Eternity".

Therefore, Su Yan did not ask about the experience and trial, but asked directly to the center.

I have to say that in this regard, the people of the elf race are also big-hearted. Because these elven imps who were thrown out by them for the trial mission actually did not have any overseers and protectors, except for giving them a more detailed intelligence information, the rest of the work had to be done by themselves.

Su Yan was even thinking, with the low fertility rate of the elf clan and no friends, if all these little guys were buried in an accident, then the elf clan would not cry to death?

"It's this." Notia took out a square box and handed it to Su Yan.

When Su Yan took Anna to clean the battlefield before, these five elves were also not idle. They had no interest in the three truckloads of goods and the coins on those mercenaries and merchants - seeing these guys throw away the money bags without care, Su Yan could only sigh that they were really a group of children who were not deeply involved in the world, and they didn't know the importance of money at all - it wasn't until they found the square box that they finally smiled happily.

So Su Yan knew that this box was hidden in the secret compartment of a carriage by those merchants.

Obviously, the merchants knew the preciousness of the thing, not the ignorance.

When the box was opened, no sparkling golden light erupted, only a heart that was basically withered and had lost its vitality and color.

"This is ......" When he saw this heart, Su Yan had already realized the problem, "What happened to the Guta Fortress eight months ago?" ”

"Yes." Nodia nodded, looking a little sad, "We've taken Tina's body, but her heart has been gouged out. We searched for a long time before we finally found a clue. …… This time, recovering Tina's heart is what we're trying to do. ”

Nodia didn't say what would happen if they failed.

But Su Yan believed that if they failed, I was afraid that those elves in the Council of Elders would use their own means to retrieve this heart.

When the time comes, if there is a conflict, I am afraid that the entire northern territory will be drawn into a new wave of war.

Su Yan took action to solve the three mercenaries of the Freedom Spear before, and it was precisely because of this consideration - the Tria Kingdom knew about the existence of the Elder's Council, a gathering place for elves, but the relationship between the Tria Kingdom and the Elder's Council was very delicate, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a fragile peace. But at least one thing is certain, neither side wants to rush into war, otherwise the Duke of Guta would have come forward to suppress the envoys of the Council of Elders eight months ago, and the war would have broken out a long time ago.

Therefore, even if there are nobles in the Tria Kingdom who want to try it and capture the elves as slaves, they are all acting in secret, and they don't dare to make a big deal out of it. And even if the elves find out about this kind of thing, they can't get angry and want to find a place, but they can only secretly look for trouble.

But no matter how much trouble you make, both sides have to deal with their tails clean.

If the clues are discovered, for obvious reasons, no matter which side makes a mistake, war will definitely break out.

So, if these five elven fools take care of the matter and no one finds out that the Guns of Freedom and the people of this caravan were killed by elves, then nothing will happen. But once the clues are found and it is determined that the elves did it, then the entire northern territory, whether it is nobles or mercenaries, as long as it is a human, will have to hunt them down.

"Why would anyone want the heart of an elf?" Su Yan frowned, "And this matter is so just right for your Elder Council to find out?" Even things are found in the dark grid. ”

"What do you mean?"

"There are too many coincidences." Su Yan shook his head, "These merchants put things in the secret compartment, obviously knowing what they were going to take. But they only found these weak people as escorts, and we can understand that the other party is hiding people's eyes. But if that's the case, there's no reason why you'd be able to find this clue so quickly, and you'd be able to intercept them when they were only a day's walk from the city of Acala. ”

Hearing Su Yan's words, the five elves finally realized the problem.

They may not be minors, but they have not lived in vain in the past few decades, and they must have wisdom and thinking ability, but they just don't have enough common sense about human society.

Being at the center of the incident, they knew even more than Su Yan, so they could naturally feel more: from the time they learned about the trial, then left the Ancient Tower Fortress, went all the way north to pursue clues, and then successfully intercepted these people today, the whole thing looked like someone deliberately wanted them to retrieve this heart. And several times along the way, they have obviously broken the clue, and when they don't know how to continue, they are often able to find a new clue quickly.

Before, they thought that they were lucky and that the enemy was too careless, but now it seems that it is clear that all this has been arranged a long time ago.

"What should we do now?" Nodia's companion asked, and all eyes were on Nodia again.

After all, she is the captain of this team.

"I think we should go back to Lord Antia, he is still waiting for us at the fortress of Guta, and Lord Antioch said before that once we get something, we must return immediately, and we must not linger outside." Notia thought for a moment before speaking.

For such a decision, several other elves naturally would not object.

But Su Yan suddenly spoke at this time: "I have a good idea, maybe we can cooperate." ”
