Volume 1: The Lost El Dorado Chapter 41: Conflict

Elves, beautiful creatures who call the forest home, love nature, delicate emotions, beautiful voices and melodies, are born poets and dancers, they love art, listen to the streams, listen to the birds, and leave all kinds of beautiful works of art on the main plane.

Elves, with bright eyes and twice the vision of humans even in dim conditions, have mastered the art of archery, they are very knowledgeable, highly gifted in magic, and their lifespan of up to a thousand years allows them to spend a lot of time studying magic, and many elves are masters of natural magic.

But since the fall of the gods and the rise of the Holy Second Empire, humans have taken over the fertile lands of the continent of Amelodas, and the elves have had to retreat to the Shadow Forest. The connection between the elves and the world became more and more rare, and few people were able to see beautiful elves. After the War of the Roses three hundred years ago, the elves who lost the Shadow Forest even became legendary creatures on the main plane continent.

When Vilia's slender legs stepped into the Firefly Light Tavern, all the adventurers stopped their movements, and even threw away their wine glasses in a trance because they were greedy for Vilia's beauty.

Although Vilia was no longer surprised by such a situation, the naked gaze of those adventurers still made Vilia a little uncomfortable. I don't know where in the tavern a cold snort sounded, and all the adventurers who looked at Vilia suddenly hugged their heads and screamed together. For a time, there was a wailing in the tavern.

Vilia walked to the bar, gently took the wine in Kalenezi's hand, and smiled, "Old Calle, thank you." "You're welcome, my beautiful young lady. It's infuriating that stupid people are looking at you so naked. That's just a small punishment. Kalenezzi smiled gentlemanly.

"Old Calle, who's sitting there?, why do you come here to drink and set up a silent barrier?" Karl asked, sitting down at the bar and taking a sip of the wine that Kalenezzi had handed him. "Oh, Lord of the Dawn, you rude fellow, that's my hundred-year-old wine, crystal clear red agate, and you drank it in one gulp. Kalenezzi said with a look of regret.

"Come on, you miser, can you be so generous?" Karl rolled his eyes, then took a piece of metal from the spatial ring and tossed it to Kalenezzi. "This is the metal from the Stormhammer shattered, I got this piece from the Dwarves, can I get it into your treasure chest?"

Looking at the fragment of the Storm Hammer in his hand, which was the size of a baby's fist, Kalenezzi couldn't help but laugh a little, should he tell the poor boy that he had taken the largest piece of the Storm Hammer when it shattered?

"Oh, thank you, little Carl, for your generosity. After Callenezzi put away the fragments of the Stormhammer, he continued, "The person sitting there seems to be a great nobleman from the kingdom of Lancerence, and the tip he just gave to little Ranch is a silver dragon coin!"

The great nobles of the Lance Kingdom?Why did they come here?Karl turned his head and looked there, but he didn't expect that as soon as he looked over, there was also a line of sight from there.

is so vigilant, it seems that the conversation is not an ordinary thing. Since the other party doesn't want to be investigated, there is no need to touch this taboo. Carl gave him a casual look, and then he was no longer interested in it. He turned around and chatted with Kalenetsy about his presence in the city of Anko, Moscow.

When Karl said that he had received news about Julius Caesar's mausoleum, Karenezzi's brow furrowed imperceptibly. "The Alverian Empire was indeed the center of the empire during the Holy Second Empire, and Julius Caesar also liked the scenery there and often visited it, but from what I learned, after the collapse of the Holy Second Empire, it had become a desolate and barbaric land due to the destruction of the war in the Dark Age. Moreover, the mausoleum of the Second Reich has never been found there. ”

"Old Calle, I can only try my luck there. After all, there really isn't much news about Julius Caesar's mausoleum. Karl shrugged helplessly. "I hope that the dead ghost father can protect me, and where can I find the location of the mausoleum!"

"And when are you going to go?" Karenezzi smiled playfully when he saw one of the people in the corner of the tavern approaching him, but he didn't warn Carl.

"I want to wait a while. The experience of the ruins of the city of Kusques has taught me that with my current ability, even if I find the location of the tomb of Julius Caesar, I will not be able to enter it safely, and I am afraid that the gate of the tomb alone can stump me. Carl said frankly.

This expedition to the ruins of the city of Kuskes, both from the beginning and to the end, Carl was ill-prepared. Perhaps it was because of the previous expeditions that Karl was too confident that the ruins of the city of Cusques were also at his fingertips. Unprepared, rush into the ruins. Kogolia betrays and leaves, and Phoenix falls into a deep sleep, letting Carl know that no matter what adventure he takes, he should be treated with a twelve-point attitude.

"I have the impression that no matter what the situation is, your father will be able to think of a corresponding way to solve the problem. If it weren't for my presence at the end of this time, would you have a way to deal with that fallen Storm Hammer Spirit?"

Do I have a way? In my mind, it seems that there is no way but to fight!

Karl thought back to the scene when he faced Tarley Bell, and realized that under the circumstances, he really had no way to defeat Tarley Bell, even with the help of Amerigo and Colin. Thinking of this, Karl patted his head in annoyance.

"Lord Kalenezzi, it's an honor to see you again. At this moment, Amerigo, who had been standing beside Carl without speaking, stepped forward and greeted Kalenezzi before coming to the bar.

"Hello. Kalenezzi only nodded slightly, and then continued to turn to Karl and said, "You can learn some of the knowledge you need to explore the mausoleum from this lord next to you, after all, this guy Banak didn't teach you anything useful." ”

Speaking of which, in Carl's impression, it seems that his dead ghost father did not teach him any knowledge of tomb exploration, but he gave himself a lot of other knowledge. Moreover, the matter of finding the tomb of Julius Caesar was also explained to himself before he died, perhaps in his heart, he did not let himself have to find the tomb of Julius Caesar.

"Carl, if you want, I can introduce you to the Academy of the Explorers Advanced School, which was founded by the Explorers Guild. It is true that you know a lot of knowledge, but if you can learn the knowledge of expedition more systematically, I believe that it will be of great help to you in finding the tomb of Julius Caesar. Amerigo on the side persuaded.

"I'm sorry, Amerigo-sama, I've always been used to being free, and if you let me be a student now, I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to school life, and I'll be sorry to cause you trouble. Carl thought about it for a moment and rejected Amerigo's offer.

"That's a real shame. ”

"Hello, beautiful fairy lady. May I invite you for a drink?" Suddenly, behind Carl and Velia, an affectionate voice was remembered. Velia turned around in surprise to see a strange human man standing in front of her with a glass of red wine.

"I'm sorry to greet you so abruptly, but your beauty has deeply shocked my heart, like a star falling into my heart, and I can't calm down. That's why I came so recklessly to invite you to have a drink with me, hoping that you can forgive me. ”

Looking at the person who had accosted Velia, Carl realized that he was one of the group of people sitting in the corner of the tavern. I actually had the courage to talk to Vilia, and I was really impatient. Carl thought to himself.

In previous joint adventures, Carl had seen a noble son who wanted to strike up a conversation with Velia, only to break her leg. Although it was the aristocratic son's unclean hands and feet that angered Velia, Veria broke his leg without saying a word, which really shocked Carl.

Just when Carl was expecting what Vilia would teach this person a lesson, Vilia didn't react. After glancing the man up and down, he turned to Carlenezzi and said, "Old Calle, give me a little Ranch's baked apple pie." ”

Seeing that Vilia didn't react, Carl knew that she didn't pay attention to this person at all, so he stopped paying attention, and turned around as well, "Hey, old Calle, I want a pie too, cherry is the best!" As soon as Karl finished speaking, he noticed that Callenez was giving himself a look. "Hey, what do you mean, is there anything special about that man?" Karl was a little curious.

"Hello, can you borrow it?" Karl felt a tap on his shoulder, and when he looked back in surprise, he saw the man smiling at him, "Hello, can you let me sit here?" I want to have a drink with this beautiful elf lady. The man spoke.

It's funny. Thinking of the look that Kalenezzi had just given him, Karl wanted to play tricks on the person in front of him.

"Excuse me, what do you have to do with the elven lady next to me? don't you see that we are together?" said Karl with a cold face. "Despicable one, the one standing before you now is Prince Campbell of the Kingdom of Lancerence!" saw Karl say this, and the guard standing beside Campbell reprimanded loudly.

Prince of the Kingdom of Lancerens. Not only was Carl a little surprised, but Vilia on the side also put down the apple pie in her hand and turned her head to look at Campbell.

Campbell saw that Vilia looked back at him, and thought that he was attracted by his status as a prince, so he smiled and smiled at Vilia: "Beautiful elf lady, please allow me to introduce myself." I am the prince of the kingdom of Lance, Count Campbell Hanover. ”

"Vilia, calm down!" Carl knew something was wrong when Campbell revealed that he was the prince of the kingdom of Lancerence. In the city of Anko, Moscow, from the words of the dwarven king, Karl vaguely knew the true identity of Vilia. If her guess is true, then judging from the cause and results of the War of the Roses, there is no reason why Vilia should not hate the kingdom of Lancelens.

However, by the time Carl stopped him, it was too late, and Velia's dagger was already on Campbell's neck. "Say your last words. ”

"Beautiful Miss, I don't know what misunderstanding exists between us, I need Miss to treat me like this. Although he had a dagger across his neck, Campbell was not panicked at all, and he was still in good spirits to talk and laugh. The entourage who followed Campbell saw that their master was being held hostage by an elf, and they drew their weapons and surrounded Vilia and Carl.

As soon as the adventurers who were drinking in the tavern saw the conflict between Carl and Campbell, they put down their glasses and began to gather around the bar, wanting to join in the fun.

"Vilia, you put the dagger down. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, Carl was a little anxious, so he hurriedly grabbed Vilia's hand and forcefully took it off Campbell's neck.

"Since you don't want to explain any misunderstanding between us, then I'm afraid you need to go to the police station with me to understand the situation clearly!" Campbell, who was temporarily safe, flashed a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes, touched his neck that was oozing a trace of blood.

"Your Highness Campbell, since this is a misunderstanding, then it is okay to explain the matter clearly, there is no need to make a bigger fuss, right?" Seeing that Campbell was reluctant to do anything, Karl's face also turned cold.

"According to the laws of the Holy Third Reich, any elf who dares to harm a human within the Holy Third Reich can be killed on the spot. Of course, I don't want to see a beautiful lady die like this, so I hope you can come with me. Campbell remained unmoved, and continued to threaten, as if he would not give up until he took Vilia away.

Just when the two sides were tense and about to make a move, a cough came, "Can we let this old man say a few words?" Amerigo on the side coughed and said.

"Who are you?" Campbell felt a little familiar when he saw Amerigo, but for a moment he couldn't remember which one it was.

"Consul General of the Explorers Society, Amerigo Vesp, His Royal Highness the Prince. Amerigo said.

Consul General of the Society of Explorers? Even though Amerigo says that, Campbell still has some confusion about who Amerigo is.

It's no wonder that Campbell doesn't know the identity of Amerigo, the Explorers' Guild's sphere of influence is mainly in the western part of the continent of Emelodas, and in the east, there are only a few oak taverns. Many human nations in the eastern part of the continent of Emelodas have more mercenary guilds, and in the kingdom of Lancer, mercenary guilds are even more influential. And because Campbell has a low probability of inheriting the throne, he is more focused on how to accumulate wealth, so he doesn't know much about some people or things.

At this time, Jack, who was behind Campbell, saw that Campbell still didn't understand what Amerigo's identity meant, so he whispered a few more words in Campbell's ear.

After hearing Jack's introduction, Campbell's eyes changed when he looked at Amerigo. "Hello, Amerigo-sama. Campbell bowed slightly to Amerigo.

"This is a misunderstanding, I don't know if His Highness Campbell can see my face, and this is the end. Amerigo spoke.

"Since it is the request of Lord Amerigo, I am not a person who does not know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, I just hope that the beautiful elf lady will pay attention to it next time, after all, in the beautiful roses, if they are all thorns, no one will pick them. With that, Campbell left the Glowing Light Tavern with Jack, Sallett, and the others, of course, not forgetting the unlucky bastard who was frozen in ice.

As he walked past Karl's side, Sallet, who was at the back of the crowd, took a closer look at Karl, as if he wanted to keep Carl's appearance in mind.

Seeing that the two sides did not fight, the adventurers in the tavern returned to their seats with low curses.

After seeing Campbell and the others all walk out of the tavern, Carl asked Vilia, "Vilia, why were you so excited just now? This is not like you!"

"Because, that person made me smell a disgusting stench, a smell that I will never forget. Velia's expression was cold, and her words were cold.

"I said, Carl, you really didn't act like a man just now, your own companion was bullied, and you still want to calm down, how can you take a trip to the ruins of Kusques and wipe out all your previous pride?" said Kalenez at the bar.

"Hey, old Calle, don't you wronged me! Why don't I look like a man? I was just afraid that Vilia would get hurt...... Vilia, where are you going?" Just as Carl explained, Vilia beside him had already walked outside the tavern, Carl saw Vilia leaving, and didn't care about the cherry pie that Mattlanch had just served, and quickly caught up with Vilia's footsteps, and shouted: "Vilia, I'm really afraid that you will be hurt!"

"It's good to be young!" Amerigo couldn't help but say when he saw Carl chasing Vilia out of the tavern.

In the dark secret room, in the center of a huge round table, an engram crystal is projecting an image, and the faint light of the influence illuminates the secret room, which is slightly weird. When the engram image plays to Campbell to talk to Velia and is held hostage by Velia. A man at the round table said, "Guys, do we need to change the person we support?"

After this person finished speaking, an old voice sounded again in a moment, "Sometimes, what you see is not necessarily true. ”

"Is he hiding?" another voice sounded.

"Whether he wants to be controlled by us or not, he can't be left to him, isn't it?" What kind of sound was that? The magic of sound alone was overwhelming, and there was already a heavy voice gasping in the dark room.

"I believe that no one can resist the beauty of the Nightingale, and then the time will be to trouble the Nightingale. It seemed to be the person in charge, and when he finished speaking, everyone present stopped talking, and at this time, the engram on the round table was also played, and the moment the image went out, the precious engram also shattered into pieces, and the secret room went dark.
