Chapter 112: The Vast Sea of Trees (Part II)
Riel and Erin explained their intentions in unison, but the seven figures in the distance did not move, and they seemed to be discussing something together, and it took about three or five minutes before they responded.
"I'm sorry, human friends, we don't want to doubt the truth of your words, but please show evidence that represents your identity, otherwise, we can't bring people into the land of the elves so hastily."
To put it simply, the captain didn't believe that Riel and Erin were the messengers sent by the Magic Association to solve the problem, well, in fact, after examining his own group of people, Riel almost came to the same conclusion, and if he saw someone dragging his family with two burdens, and then mysteriously running to the door, he would definitely have the same reaction.
Fortunately, the evidence had been prepared before, and at this moment, Riel raised his hand and took out a thin crystal piece from the space crest, which was what Lucina had attached to the letter and sent together, and with the infusion of magic power, the phantom of a towering giant tree with lush foliage and four-colored light shining all over the body appeared on this thin crystal piece.
After seeing this scene in his eyes, the elves in the distance also reacted immediately.
"It's indeed a pass made by the elders, I see, ladies and gentlemen, what a rude performance just now......"
With this pass in hand, the other party no longer had any suspicions, and the seven elves who were originally hiding in the shadow of a tree also walked out one by one.
The leader of the seven was a tall, well-proportioned, handsome young elven man, dressed in a light green military uniform, with a thin silver stabbing sword at his waist and two golden leaves decorated on his shoulders. This is supposed to be a sign of rank among the elves, but unfortunately Riel hasn't studied it, so it's not clear what level it is.
Beside the male elf, who seemed to be the captain, there were four elven archers, two men and two women, dressed in a well-tailored set of cloth armor and carrying a quiver and holding a longbow, who followed the elven swordsman in the lead, one left and one right. And on their shoulders was adorned with a golden leaf, proving that their rank should be below that male elven swordsman.
Behind the four elven archers, followed by two mysterious elves shrouded in a set of green robes, they held canes made of rattan mixed with four-colored gemstones, and their whole bodies were wrapped in robes, making it impossible to see their faces, but an active magic that diffused from their bodies was explaining their identities, and it was the elven mages who were not too numerous among the elves.
Riel and Erin glanced at each other, and they were the first to distinguish the strength of the two alien counterparts. Probably wandering in the primary HR3, so, the two also silently released the magic power that was constricted in the body, which is a manifestation of friendship when strange magicians meet, let go of their magic and inform each other of their strength, so that people know in their hearts, if they come with hostility, it will naturally not be so easy for others to know their own details.
And the strength of the two HR4 senior mages of Riel and Erin also succeeded in making those two act together. There are only about a hundred HR4 mages among the human race, and this strength certainly can't be faked. Naturally, it is also more disguised to show that the identity of Riel and his party is true.
"So, first of all, introduce yourself, Erin, the representative of the Magic Society? Migal, this is my companion, Riel? Outlander. As for these two ......"
When Safili and Naia were introduced, Erin also had a headache, but fortunately, the other party seemed to see Erin's embarrassment, and quietly took the topic away, at the same time. I also introduced myself separately.
The leading elven swordsman is called Penavie, and he is a captain of the Elven Royal Court Praetorian Guard, so it is not difficult to understand that what should be regarded as a noble elven mage anywhere should also obey him, but since he is a member of the Elven Royal Court Praetorian Guard, he should have guarded the Elven Royal Court every inch, but he did not expect that he would be sent to the border of the vast sea of trees to carry out the guard mission, it seems that there is indeed something big change within the elf clan.
After exchanging a few words with each other, the four elven archers and the two elven mages continued to stay on guard duty, and Penavi took Riel and his party to prepare for the elven court.
On the way, of course, Erin was also full of chatter, and easily let her take out a lot of words from Penavi's mouth, of course, Riel even thought that she could get a lot of information so easily purely because Penavi was deliberately revealed to them by someone else, otherwise, how could it be so easy to get so much information from the mouth of a Praetorian Guard captain.
According to Penavi, Riel and his party were the last of them to arrive, before them, the two patriarchs of the Sea Clan, the two shamans of the Orc Clan, and the two priests sent by the Pure White Church had already arrived, and they were all heading towards the Elven Court one by one, but they were the vast sea of trees that entered from different locations, and if Riel and the others set off to the Elven Court now, they could almost arrive with these people.
Although it is not impossible to fly to the royal court with the help of the Enstein teleporter "BIU", but this is in someone else's territory, of course, it is impossible to do such an ignorant thing, so of course Rare and his party also accepted Penavi's arrangement, first to the nearest elven city, and then from there as a turning point to the elven royal court.
The city of the elven race, Riel is naturally quite looking forward to it, after all, after coming to this world, he has not seen how other humanoid races live, and now he finally has the opportunity to open his eyes, in fact, not only Riel, but among the people who are traveling with him, except for Naia Lori who yawns sleepily and keeps yawning, everyone else is in a lively attitude.
As a result, when they arrived at the place, they collectively froze.
What the hell is this city too?!
Yes...... The city that appeared in front of Riel and the others, its main body was actually a towering giant tree with lush foliage, no, according to Riel's careful observation, it seemed that it was not a giant tree, but was formed by how many trees were intertwined with each other. And the so-called city is to take this giant tree as the main body, and build wooden structures on its trunk and branches, such a huge tree is amazingly big, it is the city of the elves, a city built entirely on trees!
After the initial surprise. Then came a deep shock, worthy of the elves known as the darlings of nature, this level of building a city on a tree is not lost to the dwarves who are good at making holes, but compared to the dwarves that can build a city in a place that you can't use in your life, the level of the elves is still a little worse.
Wait, speaking of which, when Penavi introduced it just now, he didn't seem to mention the whereabouts of the dwarves? I remember that the elves seem to have sent a request for help to the dwarves, so why haven't you heard about the whereabouts of the dwarves?
Riel casually threw the question to Penaway. It turned out to be a laughable answer.
"Well, the friends of the dwarf clan asked the two shamans of the orc clan to bring a message, saying that they are not naturally good at dealing with magic-related matters, and it is estimated that they can only cause chaos when they come, so they entrusted the two orc shamans to bring a batch of magic props produced by dwarf masters to express their hearts, and as for the manpower, they will not be sent......"
After saying this, Riel didn't know what expression to show in Lu Dao, this group of solid-eyed dwarves was so cute. But anyway, the whole continent knows that this group of dwarves is straightforward and straightforward, so no one cares about anything. In fact, even the elves themselves felt that it was a shame to throw magic-related problems to the dwarves, and if they hadn't really been forced to do anything, this ticket chief would never have been so sick and rushed to the doctor.
As the so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, although the group saw the outline of the elven city at noon, it was not until the sunset that they really came to the giant tree. You must know that there are two HR4 mages here, plus Riel has no other skills, and his ability to multi-purpose and quickly cast spells is definitely the first among mages of the same level, and he constantly puts buff magic on his companions, and increases everyone's movement speed by four or five times. In this way, I also ran for nearly a day to get to the place, which shows the distance of this trip.
When Riel and the others came to the city of the elves, they naturally had to watch, but because of Penavi, although the elves in the city were curious, they only looked at them from a distance, and then turned their heads and continued to do their own things.
Along the way, the people of the elf clan were observing Riel and others, and Riel was naturally observing these elves, and along the way, he found an interesting situation, that is, there seemed to be no "old man" in this elf city.
In the end, I was answered in Benaway's mouth, the elf race is indeed blessed, it is said that they do not reproduce like ordinary creatures, all elves are born from the tree of life, their lifespan is extremely long, of course, it is not like the novels that Riel read in his previous life are thousands of years old, but normal elves can generally live for three or five hundred years without a problem.
And because of the long lifespan, the aging of this long ear becomes quite slow, or even not at all, after growing into adulthood, the appearance of the elves will be fixed, until old age and death is also such a young face.
This kind of characteristic is also very envious of the people who heard Rare, after all, it is also one of human nature to be afraid of aging, especially women, Safili and Erin heard that the elves are young until death, and that expression is indeed very exciting.
After arriving in the city, Penawe randomly asked someone to give a few words, and then smiled at Riel and the others.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not early, let's stay here for one night today, and tomorrow I will arrange for people to send you to the Elf King's Court ......" (to be continued......
