Chapter 15: I Must Go Back!
Arelia was gone, and the next morning, the woman, still a little pale, was gone. Before leaving, I said: I will definitely come back.
Luo Yue only prepared some dry food for her, and originally wanted to send some guards, but the woman resolutely refused, Luo Yue knew very well how long it would take to get from this way to the Holy See and the town where the northern humans were located, and the nearest town needed a high-level knight to travel for about three days, what is the speed of a high-level knight, if it is understood from Luo Yue's point of view, it should be equal to the speed of a motorcycle, and this is just a concept, in fact, it is impossible for a high-level knight to rush without stopping. So it takes more time, not to mention more distant towns.
Luo Yue looked at the shrinking figure from a distance in the city tower, and sighed in his heart.
"How long has Nero been gone?" Luo Yue asked Heike beside him.
"Less than two days." Heiko squinted his cloudy eyes and looked at the figure that was fading away.
"How much time will it take?" Luo Yue continued to ask.
Heiko pondered a few times in his heart, and said with some concern: "About ten days." β
Luo Yue frowned slightly, although he knew that this was not much different from what he had calculated in his heart, but this time was still too long.
Ten days is enough time for the Orc Empire's army to pacify Elrath, and a few times back and forth. Luo Yue thought in his heart that with the current strength, it would obviously be unwise to be tough against him, and if he gave Luo Yue a few hundred guards, marksmen and priests, it would not be a problem to level this continent.
But the point is that the number of troops has not yet exceeded three digits.
In five days at most, I am afraid that the army of the Orc Empire will approach the gates of Elrath.
Time, time is the key, Luo Yue thought silently in his heart.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Gunnir is the core city of the northern human race, because it controls most of the strategic materials of the current human race, and it is the "Bauhinia" Chamber of Commerce that controls its circulation.
It is a rather luxurious room, with a carpet made of the fur of the super-level magical beast "Ice Tiger", a seat made of "living logs" in the Eternal Forest, and a magic circle of the "Guardian of the God of Light", a holy magic magic looming on the walls. Behind the main seat is also carved with a "living log" of a lifelike "bauhinia flower".
Nero, whose face was full of exhaustion, smelled the fragrance of the "living log" in the air, and his spirit couldn't help but be a while, and his slightly drooping eyelids rose.
After a week of patrolling, I couldn't help but sigh, I haven't seen you for a long time, but this room hasn't changed at all.
As Nero was thinking about how to deal with the situation, a crisp voice with a sense of joy, three parts coldness, and six parts anger woke Nero up.
"Where have you been in the past six months? Do you know how much time and manpower I spent trying to find you? Do you know ............?"
The visitor was a woman in a purple off-the-shoulder embroidered dress, with high hair and only two bundles of green silk nestled on her delicate collarbones as white as ivory.
The phoenix eyebrows are like daisies, the eyes are like stars, and the face is as white as snow as if carved like a ghostly axe, this is an unusually beautiful woman, with a cold face but with a majestic momentum, and the curved phoenix eyebrows make this majesty a little flattering.
Nero looked at this beautiful woman, his heart was a little sour, and he shouted: "Sister! β
The woman's anger vanished with this call, interrupting the woman's chatter.
The woman was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Nero, don't leave when you come back, my sister only does this because of my sister, and now the situation is so urgent, if you run around, once something happens, how can I explain to my father and mother?" β
Nero shook his head slowly, his eyes looking at the woman firmly, and his somewhat immature face was full of determination.
The woman was stunned, her brother seemed to have changed a lot, the rebellious brother in the past has matured a lot, if it is according to the previous brother, I am afraid that he will refute himself loudly.
And now......
Nero cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Honorable Lord of the 'Bauhinia' Chamber of Commerce, I have come here at the behest of Lord Elrath to trade with you, and I have no other intentions. β
The woman looked at this scene and couldn't help but be a little funny, this younger brother who was so rebellious once upon a time would also talk to me in such a solemn tone?
Elrath? Where is this, why have I never heard of it, the woman said secretly in her heart.
The woman looked at Nero fixedly, smiled and said, "Where is Elrath?" Who is the lord? Why haven't I heard of it before? As for trade? What do you want to exchange? What do you want to exchange for? β
The woman asked a few questions in one breath, in her opinion, this eighty percent is her brother's fault, how can it be taken seriously? After all, he was only eighteen years old.
No, Nero said in a calm tone: "Ellath is Yates City in the south, and the lord is Lord Luo Yue, I want to exchange the magic core in my hand with some items for some strategic materials." β
The woman's phoenix eyebrows frowned slightly, she was a little curious.
The woman was silent for a moment, soothed her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "In this way, you tell me what has happened to you in the past six months, and I will exchange with you, how about it?" β
Nero opened his mouth, and he wanted to refuse. It's just that the initiative is not in his hands.
Nero reluctantly explained how he wandered Dou Yates, how he joined Yates' garrison, and how he followed the lord to defeat the elite warriors of the Orc Empire.
The tips of the woman's eyebrows, which had just stretched after hearing this, gathered tightly together.
She naturally knew about the damage to the magic array in the south, and not only that, but she also knew that the Holy See had sent someone to repair it. It's just that I didn't expect that the army of the Orc Empire had already broken in.
And listening to the description of the younger brother, those armies are definitely the "fangs" of the elite troops of the Orc Empire.
As for why that battle was won, in my opinion, it was just luck.
And the "lord" Luo Yue, who is like a god in his younger brother's mouth, is just a person with a little strength, but more luck, it's nothing, but the kindness of saving his brother's life still has to be repaid, well, I will give them a few more supplies. The woman thought to herself.
"I can exchange with you, and I can give you the maximum exchange terms." The woman said slowly.
Nero's face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but take a breath and said, "Really? β
The woman smiled slightly, you are still too young.
"It's just that you have to promise me one condition."
Nero frowned and asked, "What conditions?"
"You can't go anywhere else, just stay here, you can even stay in other towns, but you can't go there again." The woman said, what are you kidding, that Elrath is a lonely city in the south, and because of the magic array in the south, I am afraid that many orc armies have broken in, just such a small city.
How dangerous is that? As for the lord, hehe............ A hint of contempt welled in the woman's heart.
Nero's brain was hot, and he exclaimed, "No! I have to go back. β
This is the first task given to him by the lord, if he doesn't go back, what will it become?
The woman was a little impatient and said, "Do you know how dangerous that place is?" β
Nero's eyes froze, and he said, "I believe in the lord, he will use his wisdom and strength to repel the orcs." β
The woman scolded in her heart, you are really naΓ―ve, do you think the Orc Empire is a vegetarian?
Thinking of this, the woman couldn't help but say angrily: "Wisdom? Let me tell you, that place is flat, surrounded by undangerous terrain, far from being a dangerous place, if there is a war, with the current strength of human beings, retreat is the smartest, the most able to retain strength, and the most important thing is to protect the safety of the people in the city, the lord didn't even think of this, what wisdom can he have? β
The woman sneered twice, and then said: "As for the strength, if the battle you are talking about, if it doesn't have the strength of that giant dragon and that fire-eyed Ahuizotl, even if it is giving you hundreds of people, I'm afraid I will have to prepare for a funeral for you." β
Nero was stunned by the woman's words, and was a little overwhelmed.
"Think about it yourself!" The woman left the room with one last sentence.
