Chapter 499 - Coming to Kuanyan City in person
From a human map, the Fairy Forest is not a very large area.
Even on the map of mankind, this forest is not called the Fairy Forest, but a very common name given by local farmers. And the area of the forest is not very large, and it looks not much different from an ordinary bush.
In the past, local farmers would try to enter the forest to hunt or gather herbs. However, due to the fact that there are more or less magical beasts living in this forest, the farmers themselves do not have a strong motivation to explore this forest.
Similarly, since there are not many precious medicinal materials in the "discovered" area of this forest, the level of the demonic beasts entrenched here is not very high, and there is not much use value, so ordinary adventurers will not spend much energy to clean it up.
In a way, Arrow really had to admire the cleverness of the fairy queen's choice of retreat. If it weren't for the accident caused by the portal and an injured human, it would have taken a lot of time to find the gathering place of the elf clan.
However, what can happen in a year may be accidental. But if an accident is bound to happen together in a hundred or a thousand years, then this is called inevitability.
Two days later, Arrow's footsteps were beyond the area of the Fairy Forest.
Looking back at the unremarkable forest behind him, and then at the farmland, the villages, and the huge fortress surrounded by a fence made of trees......
Maybe it's the so-called Broad Rock Castle.
"Hoo ......"
Arrow exhaled slowly. I tidied up my clothes a little, and this kind of tidying also made my confidence a little more improved.
He raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and once again calmed down, and finally took a step towards the fortress surrounded by wooden walls.
At this time, it was just nightfall.
Many of the farmhouses are still lit.
Perhaps because the moonlight was so bright tonight, some of the children did not even stay at home, but continued to play in groups outside.
But as Arrow walked past with a smile on his face, the playful smiles on the children's faces disappeared immediately, and they turned their heads to stare at him as if they were looking at some strange being.
This kind of gaze made Arrow feel a little hairy. He involuntarily shrugged his shoulders, coughed slightly, kept reminding himself that he should never be timid, and continued to walk towards the wall.
It didn't take long for him to finally get to the wooden wall. Maybe it's because it just rained yesterday, and the mud in front of the wooden wall looks very muddy, and when you step on it, you will feel a little soft inside.
At this moment, he stood in front of the gate, which was simply made of several sharpened pieces of wood tied together, and once more, he exhaled. Raising his head, he looked at the two soldiers standing in front of the wooden city gate.
I don't know if it's because this Kuanyan City is too remote or shabby, the equipment of these two soldiers looks very simple, their clothes are not even different from ordinary peasants, their shoes are covered with mud, and they really don't look like a good life. The only thing that could represent their status as soldiers was the tattered leather hat on their heads and the spears in their hands.
"What for? It's late today, and you're not allowed to enter the city! β
The two soldiers, who were already a little bored, were a little nervous when they saw Arrow's appearance.
Of course, they weren't nervous about the short-looking, handsome-looking young man in front of them. It's about nervous about the guy standing behind him......
The man pushing a wooden cart with his entire body shrouded in a cloak.
Arrow kept telling himself to be calm! After a few consecutive breaths, that gentle smile appeared on his face again, and he said slowly, "Hello, I'm here to return something." If it's convenient, give these things to your lord. β
With that, Arrow stepped out of the way and let the cloaked man behind him walk up with a wheelbarrow.
The two soldiers stepped forward and took a look, only to see arrows, axes, swords, shields, clothing, armor and other things in the cart.
The soldier frowned slightly, raised the spear in his hand and shook it, and said, "Go, go!" If you want to sell weapons, come back tomorrow morning! And our city lord won't see you in person with such an order, so he will go to the market tomorrow morning to set up a stall and pay taxes normally! β
It's a pity that Arrow really has to meet the city lord at night. It doesn't matter if he's asleep or not.
At that moment, he raised his head slightly and signaled. The cloaked man in the back then lowered the cart, his hooded head slightly raised, revealing the scarlet eyes and dead skin underneath. The mouth opened slightly, revealing the sharp teeth at the corners of the mouth, shining in the moonlight.
"Ahh You...... You are?! β
Scarlet pupils, pale skin, and sharp fangs!
As long as you are a human being, you will understand what this means! Naturally, it was the first time for these two soldiers to see such a monster actually appear in front of their eyes, and they panicked for a moment, and even immediately pressed down the spear in their hands and shouted loudly.
"Suck ...... Bloodsucker? Are you a vampire?! β
"Wowββββ!!!"
One soldier was so nervous that his spear was caught off guard.
It's just that in the next moment, even the soldier himself probably didn't understand what was happening, the spear in his hand suddenly broke, and his entire body was lifted up!
"Wow! Save...... Help me! Don't kill me...... Don't suck my blood! I...... I still have my fiancΓ©e waiting for me at home! Don't kill me! β
Arrow lifted his head, letting his face look a little more penetrating in the moonlight. He put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "It's okay, don't make our friends too nervous." β
"Humph!"
Cheese made another noise in his nostrils, and then threw the soldier out of his hand, and collided with his companion, and the two of them fell to the ground on all fours.
Then, Arrow smiled again and said kindly, "Now, can I ask you to inform the city lord?" Of course, please let us know that we are not hostile and are here to do business. β
There was no need for Arrow to talk too much nonsense, the two soldiers had already turned around and opened the gate like crazy to get in, then closed it and slipped away.
Through the gap in the wood, Arrow nodded lightly and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure the two soldiers were running towards a slightly tall-looking stone house in the city wall.
"You Terrans are afraid of me, and I guess only humans like you will take me as a target to scare others."
Cheese took off his hood, and the expression on his face was slightly disgruntled.
Arrow crossed his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "After all, we are here to discuss business, bringing too many people will seem hostile, but if I bring too few people, I will also worry about my own life." You are currently the strongest of my guild members. I'm relieved to be protected by you. β
Cheese clasped his hands in front of his chest and snorted coldly again, "No wonder that woman Margaux has been saying all day long that you question the strength of other guild members, and she is right, you really don't believe in their strength. Aren't you afraid that they have doubts in their hearts? β
Arrow had an indifferent look on his face and said with a smile, "Essentially, they do think I'm a little favoritistic. But well...... Being jealous is not a bad thing for us humans. It's like you taught the other members some time ago, and in the process Brad learned the shield and Margaux learned the barrier of light. Naturally, there will be some jealousy in this. What's more...... What about the others? Cream, Coco, these two guys, what did you inspire them? β
In this regard, Cheese continued to maintain an indifferent attitude, he raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky, and said slowly: "Brad belongs to the hard work, and Margaux is the woman...... Although this woman's personality is not very good, it is undeniable that her talent is indeed very high. If she had been a little more gentle, she might have been able to become the so-called High Priestess of your human race. Cocoa...... Hehe, her progress is more obvious, but since she has decided to keep it a secret from you, I have nothing more to say. Relatively speaking, it's the guy who is jealous......"
Hearing that there was a problem with Cream, Arrow couldn't help but be a little worried: "What's wrong with that guy?" β
Cheese crossed his arms, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know if it's my delusion, this assassin seems to be working hard, I teach him some skills, and he usually practices them repeatedly in the guild." But once in combat mode, this guy always seems to start relying on his two magic swords, intentionally or unintentionally. What are the origins of those two magic swords? I see that he sometimes even holds it when he sleeps. To be honest, it's not very good. β
Arrow was a little puzzled and asked, "Do you have any problems with your weapon baby?" When I used to be a student, I saw that the members of the martial arts department would also treasure their weapons. β
The bloodline exhaled slightly, looked at the situation in the crack of the door for a moment, and said: "It's not a problem to take care of your weapons, but it's too much maintenance, and even if you encounter something, the first thing that comes to mind is not to adapt to local conditions, but to use these two magic swords to solve problems all the time. Well...... I have a feeling that this assassin of ours is not so much maintaining these two magic swords, but rather that these two swords are constantly tempting him to take care of himself...... Isn't that a bit strange to say? β
