Chapter XXXIII: New Members
"You, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand? As soon as the elf boy heard that Alice guessed that he had sneaked out, he immediately pretended to be "I don't know anything", and began to change the subject while looking left and right, "How did you recognize that group of bastards just now?" Borif? Or is it the hand of some other human noble? Judging by the way they looked, you should be right. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes, why could you guess that Lord Alice were Count Polyf's personal soldiers?" Jeff is also very interested in this question, you must know that the territory of Count Polyv is far away from here, and there are several counties in between, and if he wants to let his private soldiers pass freely in other people's territory, it is not something that ordinary small nobles can do, and Porif is just a small earl, although he has always had a reputation for being rich, but he should not be able to do it to this extent.
"Okay, I'll say it first, but when I'm done, you'll tell me why you left the Elven Forest." Alice looked at the two teenagers beside her, sighed, and decided to satisfy their curiosity.
"Actually, it's very simple, I've seen Master and Lord Cain discuss the issue of slaves, this Count Polyph is a tool for the nobles of the knightly empire to capture foreign slaves, although Her Majesty has long abolished the slavery system, but it can't change the mind of the entire aristocratic class." Alice herself was a down-and-out nobleman, the favorite slave of those middle-class nobles, and she was naturally more interested in this aspect, otherwise she would not have sacrificed her time to practice her sword to listen to the discussion between Mijas and Cain in this regard.
"Oh damn slavery, I absolutely cannot understand why you would be so enthusiastic about this system of persecution of your own countrymen." Hearing this, the elf boy couldn't help frowning and complaining, in fact, all races except the elves have used slaves, although this system has been abolished by all races hundreds of years ago, but the aristocratic class has always not taken this "Slave Emancipation Act" seriously, and there are poor people who can't survive due to natural and man-made disasters, and those who sell themselves to the nobles will not care about this bill, after all, the bill can't be eaten.
"Don't be funny, do you think everyone is as well-fed and clothed as you elves?" Jeff can't stand an elf's accusation of his own race, but the high quality of the elf race is indeed based on wealth, the scarcity of the population and the strength of the elf race make the elf race have always been the "children of other people's families" on the continent, and other races are often developing in the direction of the elf race, this status quo inevitably leads to the pride of some elves, such as the elf boy in front of him, although he himself doesn't seem to realize this.
"Alright, Jeff, the reality is that the elves are better than us in many ways." Alice didn't think there was anything wrong with this, each race had its own strengths and weaknesses, and it was irrational to deliberately avoid their own shortcomings. "So I'm not going to kill this group of scum, after all, they are just a tool, or a tool in the hands of a tool, killing them will not benefit the slave trade, but it may make those nobles change to a group of more savvy private soldiers to do this business, after all, not everyone will be deceived by a young thief." Speaking of which, Alice also glanced at the young elf who was touching the back of his head and smirking, and his originally handsome little face was completely ruined by this smile. "Just knock that Count Polyph, my attitude represents the attitude of the Crystal Fire Collar, those human nobles can't risk offending the master to continue to capture slaves, at least they will stop for a while recently."
"Alright, I've told you what I know, now tell me why you left the Elven Forest in such a way." Alice looked at the elven boy in front of her, and was also a little curious, because the elves are not the kind of race that will prevent their own people from traveling, and it is really strange that this young man needs to leave his hometown by pretending to be captured by the slave group.
"Hmm...... Well...... the elf boy was still hesitant, but considering Alice's strength that he could send him back to his hometown after playing tricks on himself, he still said his reasons, "Actually, I have been very adventurous since I was a child, whether it is the Central Mountain Range or the Sinking Land in the East, I want to see it." The elven boy said amazingly, these two places are not so easy to go.
The central mountain range is another name for the Lintria mountain range, since the elemental invasion war passed, the news that there is a storm temple above here has also spread all over the continent, attracting countless adventurers to explore, but without the help of the wind spirit human race, people who are not at the legendary level will be beaten down by the manic wind element once they get close to the temple, and I don't know how many people have fallen to their deaths in the deep valley of the Lintria mountain range, and how can people at the legendary level not know the existence of Havina, a legendary warlock? So far, the Storm Temple has remained in a closed state.
And the other place, that is, the Eastern Sinking Land, happens to be the mermaid country where Mijas is now, Matt Goranfeld, this is a place where there are only legends, and no information has ever been transmitted, and if this boy really had the luck to come here, Gale wouldn't mind eating such an elf more (laughs).
"What's your name?" Alice was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.
"My name is William, what's wrong?" Elven boy William was a little confused by this sudden question.
"William." Alice put her hand on William's shoulder, and looked at the bold elf boy with a caring and caring eye, and William was also a little uncomfortable with this staring. "It's good to have dreams, but with your ability, give up." Alice didn't know what was going on in the Eastern Shenlu, but she was still very clear about the Storm Temple, even if this elven boy named William was a genius, it was impossible to break through the manic wind barrier set up by Havina with the core of a large number of wind elemental creatures, unless he could advance to the legend one day in the future, then Havina would not refuse a legend's curiosity about the Storm Temple, after all, all the things worth caring about in it were taken away, and only some works of art remained, so to speak, the current Storm Temple, The most precious thing is the strange scenery that can be seen from anywhere.
But how could William give up so easily? If he was really willing to give up, he would have given up under the persuasion of his fellow clan, and it was precisely because of this that the village chief of their village would strictly prohibit William from leaving the Elven Forest, and fortunately, the Elven clan was strong, and there was no special "forbidden land" in the entire Elven Forest, or that the original "forbidden land" had been cleared by the Ranger Legion of the Elven clan, otherwise William's range of activities would probably be limited to the surrounding area of the village to which he belonged.
"Alright, we're going to the Elven Forest to find someone, so you can come with us." Knowing why the William boy would use this way to leave the Elven Forest, Alice also thought that he was not suitable for the adventure now, even if he already had the strength of a high-level thief, but the place he wanted to go was too dangerous, Alice looked at the William boy who still wanted to struggle, and directly smashed the elf boy with a scabbard, and then tied it with a rope to prevent him from running away immediately if he woke up in advance.
"Carry him, Jeff." Alice comfortably handed over this physical work to the Providential Knight, useless, Jeff. Then he walked into the realm of the elves.
"Stop! Who are you? Not long after Alice and Jeff walked into the Elven Forest, the two who had not deliberately hidden their whereabouts were discovered by the Elves' Ranger Alert Team, although the Elves would not refuse visits from other races, but Jeff was carrying a comatose William Boy, which made it necessary for this Elf team to stand up and ask.
"Oh? Ranger Alert? "This is the first time Jeff has come to the territory of the elves, so naturally everything is left to Alice to negotiate, but now he is being pointed at by 5 elves with longbows, and he is also subconsciously vigilant.
"Do you know that guy on my companion's back? He seems to be trying to leave the Elven Forest by disguised as a team of captured slaves. As soon as Alice said this, she was interrupted by an elf on the other side.
"What nonsense, how can there be such an elf!" However, the elf who interrupted the other people's speech was also interrupted by the other people on his side, and the accusation he wanted to say later.
"Wait, Howl, is that William?" At this time, someone recognized William on Jeff's back, as perhaps the first elf to be restricted from traveling, William was also famous among the elves.
"It's William."
"It's really possible if it's William."
The other elves also easily believed Alice's statement after seeing that it was William, and it seems that William's image in the hearts of the elves is indeed very subtle. And in order to keep the offense just now, the elves offered to take them to William's small village, saying that the village chief there would definitely repay Alice and them.
"You bunny and tricks!" In an elf village, William who woke up was being chased by the old village chief all over the street, don't look at the old village chief's hair has turned gray, but he is a real high-level ranger, running no slower than William, and after a while, William's young man has been beaten all over the place.
"Ahem, I'm really sorry for letting you see the joke." The old village chief sat opposite Alice and Jeff after teaching William, he actually had a lot of headaches for a bear child like William, especially William had become a high-level thief at a young age, and it would be a pity for such a talent to die in an expedition beyond his strength.
"Needless to say, the village chief, we're actually just getting started." Alice waved her hand, the drink that the old village chief brought to them was a special flower wine of the elf clan, and this glass cost at least 50 gold coins in the human realm, so it can be said that they have earned it by drinking this glass of wine.
"Otherwise, let him go on an adventure with us, with Lord Alice watching, William can experience a less dangerous adventure first, and by the way, let him know how much he is capable of, and dispel his unrealistic thoughts?" Jeff was silent for a long time, but as soon as he spoke, the elven village chief thought carefully.
"Seems like a solution?"
