-Afaria-

Mount Afaria is the entrance and exit of the Dark Elf Kingdom, where strange trees are forested, gray-black rocks are piled up into towering peaks, I don't know if it is the climate or the turbulence of the elements, there is no sunlight here all day long, and black clouds are permanently shrouded in the sky.

Most of the trees in Mount Afaria are bare, probably because they absorb too little sunlight, right? However, Long Ming and the others found that a lot of bark had been worn off on the huge branches on the trees, obviously because someone had been walking on the branches for a long time, that is, the dark elves they were about to see, right? Long Ming and the others guessed.

You can also see a lot of white spider silk in the Alphaia Mountain, the spider silk is interwoven into a huge web, which closes many roads, and the spider silk is very sticky, and it takes a lot of effort to clean them.

Fortunately, the owner of those spider silks did not appear, otherwise it would not be as simple as spending energy, and from the scale of the spider silk, we can know that the owner of the spider silk must not be easy to mess with.

Long Ming and the others also found traces left by the dwarves in the Afalia Mountain, and some rocks were obviously beaten with hoes, probably because they were surveying the rocks, right? I heard that the dwarves are greedy by nature, but I don't know if it's true or not.

"The person in front of me stops me!"

There was a shout from the front of the group, and Kamo Sang immediately stretched out his hand to signal the group to stop.

Black figures leaped out of the darkness, and one by one they jumped onto the trees around Kemosan's team.

"Is this the Dark Elves? It feels a little different from that kid from Kakun! Fist said as he looked at the dark-skinned, white-haired dark elves standing around him on the trees.

It was indeed the Dark Elves, who were now aiming their longbows at Kaimosan's team, the bowstrings in their hands had reached their maximum, and the arrows on the strings were waiting to be fired, each aimed at the vital parts of the Blood Leopard team.

"Who are the people in front of you? Ahead is the territory of the Dark Elves, please get out of here! One of the Dark Elves at the head said to Kaimosan's team, still refusing to let go of the bow and arrow in his hand.

No wonder they are so nervous, although Kai Mosan's team is only more than a hundred, judging from their equipment, they are already able to cause a lot of pressure on others. That's why the Dark Elves' forces surrounded Kemosan's team, right!?

"We are the emissaries sent by Her Majesty Queen Skady of the Principality of Belmar to assist the Dark Elves in their investigation of the plague events, this is a letter of permission from your Queen, you can check it out!" Kemosan said, taking out a purple envelope from his breastplate and throwing it at the person opposite.

The Dark Elf at the head took the bow back, and then caught the envelope that Kemosan had thrown at him steadily. After being identified by the Dark Elves, the red seal on the envelope was indeed the special mark of the Dark Elves royal family, and the Dark Elves opened the envelope and took out the yellow brown paper inside to read it.

"Put the weapons away, they have the approval of Her Majesty!" The Dark Elf raised his hand and said, then jumped down from the tree and walked towards Kaimosan.

At a closer look, the dark elf's skin is really dark enough, as long as he stands in the dark, no one can find his trace at all, it is really a natural camouflage complexion, no wonder the assassination of the dark elf can be so powerful, this skin color also brings them a lot of convenience****!

The dark elves standing in the trees also put away their weapons after receiving the order, which greatly relieved the Blood Leopard troops.

"Lord Kaimosan, please forgive me for being rude! Let me take you to the camp first! The Dark Elves at the head took the reins of Kaimosan's warhorse and led the way.

"Shhhh I thought I could fight! The fist said boringly, and the raised hands were also put down.

"We are not here to clash with the Dark Elves, but to find out the origin of the plague and resolve the plague, so as to resolve the conflict between the Dark Elves and the Duchy of Belma." Lulith reminded that while he knew Fist wasn't the kind of person who would mess things up, it was worth reminding.

The Dark Elves led Kemosan and his party all the way to the depths of Mount Afaria, and the further they went, the dimmer the light became, and a low roar often came out in the dim places, and the Dark Elves said that it was a monster that was fighting.

Walking all the way in, after walking for about a few hundred meters, Kaimosan and the others came to a huge camp, and they heard that this camp was called Camp Afaria.

This stronghold was established not long ago, and after the Queen of the Dark Elves promised to open the Dark City to humans, the advance party of the Duchy of Belmar was the first to arrive here, and they established it here to facilitate the adventurers who were eager to help.

Further inside the Afaria camp is the territory of the Dark Elves, and the Dark City is built deeper, but the Dark Elves will not show the way for the adventurers, because they cannot fully trust these people, so the adventurers have to explore on their own.

However, the adventurers' exploration was not very smooth, and after leaving the Afaria camp, the magical beasts that inhabited the darkness would attack them, and even if the adventurers were not afraid of death, the path explored was very few.

"Now we're going to go our separate ways!" Kai Mosan said to Long Ming and the others.

"Huh? Why? Lulith asked curiously, thinking that Kamosan still had a grudge against them.

"Queen Skady's letter only says that we will help the dark elves unlock the curse of the plague, and you are not on the list!" Kamo Sang continued, showing Lulith the letter he had just tossed to the Dark Elves.

Sure enough, as Kamoisan said, the names of Lulith and the others were not on the list on the letter.

"I told the Dark Elves that you were just adventurers on the same path, so do what you want! Don't die at the hands of monsters, I'll take your life!" Kai Mosan said in an unkind tone to Long Ming.

"Old ghost, you're still worried about not being swallowed by monsters!" Long Ming didn't look at Kai Mosan, turned around and left.

Watching Long Ming and the others walk away, Kai Mosan also turned his horse's head to keep up with those dark elves, "Queen Skadi, the old man will definitely complete the task, although I don't know what your intention is to let those adventurers come together, but with the old man out of the horse, everything will be solved!" Kamo Assan thought confidently in his heart.

"What are we going to do next?" Leaving Kai Mosan's team, Ling Feng didn't know what to do now, he thought that he could follow Kai Mosan's team all the way to the place where the plague occurred, but he didn't expect to be left behind by that hateful old ghost halfway, I really don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Queen Skadi's gourd.

"Let's go to the camp first and take a look at the situation, with our strength, even if we don't have the dark elves to lead the way, as long as we are careful, we should still be able to find out the cause of the plague. Let's go to the camp first to find some clues, which will be very helpful for our operation! Lulith said.

"Hmm!" Everyone agreed with Lulis's words, and it was indeed very useful to get information first to help the operation, and Long Ming and the others had gradually realized the importance of this.

Long Ming and the others took a turn in the Afaria camp and found that there were also many powerful guys here, after all, they still had a little confidence to have the courage to come to this unfamiliar area to explore, and after this period of adventure, the strength of the adventurers should also be improved a lot.

But Long Ming and the others didn't get the information they wanted from the mouths of these adventurers, and they were not willing to share the information about the Dark City with others easily, as if they were worried that the treasures inside would be taken away by Long Ming and the others first.

Long Ming and the others, who touched a wall, couldn't help but feel a little depressed, they had to find a place to rest first, Long Ming and the others came to an alley to rest, watching the people on the camp come and go.

"Why are these guys so selfish?" Mo Li was very annoyed, even a super invincible and cute girl like her could not get the slightest bit of information, which was not a small blow to her.

Lulith fondly touched Molly's head to calm her down a little, "It's okay, we can explore on our own!" ”

"You're finally here!" A voice came from the depths of the alley.

"Boken?!" Long Ming and the others looked back and found that the person who made the voice was none other than Queen Skadi's henchman Boken. But the current Boken feels a little different from the past, and the feeling is ...... He didn't have that cold aura on his body.

"Look at what? Do I have something strange on my face? Boken touched his face and said.

"No, it's just that you feel a little different!" Long Ming waved his hand and said, "By the way, why did Queen Skadi separate us from Kaimosan, didn't she ask us to investigate the origin of the plague?" Long Ming asked.

"Don't panic, the queen has her intentions in arranging this, she doesn't want you to expose it." Boken explained.

"Exposed? Are we still being monitored by others? Taylor was a little nervous, and looked his head over the crowd to see if anyone was watching them.

"Don't worry, they don't know your identity yet, but if you act with Count Kemosan, it will attract their attention!" Boken continued, greeting the passing adventurers.

"And who will those people be?" Taylor asked.

"People of the Dross Empire!" Boken whispered.

"The Dross Empire? Why are they here? Long Ming was a little surprised.

"Because the people of the Dros Empire do not intend for you to eliminate the plague, if you continue to fight with Count Kemosan, you will definitely be hindered by them! They are hungry for a war between the Dark Elves and the Belmar Empire so they can reap the benefits of the Fisherman! That's why Queen Skady will let you and Count Kemoisan act separately. Boken explained.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a conspiracy in the Delos Empire! According to you, Kai Mosan, they're just a façade? And we are the real workhorse? Ling Feng had a feeling of sudden realization.

"That's right! That's what Queen Skadi intended! Boken said with a smile, he really laughed, and he could see that the corners of his mouth were raised in his black mask.

"Her Majesty wants you to carry out your quest like a normal adventurer, so that you can hide from the eyes of the Ross Empire.

"It's complicated!" Fist scratched his head and said, such an action to use his brain is really not suitable for him, he is good at talking with his fists.

"Then I'll take you to the adventurer leader here first!" Boken said, and then walked towards the depths of the alley, and Long Ming and the others hurried to catch up.

After Long Ming and the others left, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the wall where they had just stayed, light blue like gems, but their eyes were as cold as ice. The eyes disappeared in an instant, and there was no movement again.
