Volume 2 The Thousand Worlds and the Complete Continent Chapter 30 The Transfiguration
Finally found a hotel that still had a 'business' sign, and after a few minutes of communication, Chen Yuan and his party paid to stay in this small hotel called 'Gopher'.
The mounts were taken to the backyard of the inn to be placed, after all, it was a small hotel, and the space in each room was not large, even if Chen Yuan wanted to place the stupid in the room this time, there was no way.
This is just a half-commercial and half-guarded border fortress of the Night Elf clan, and during the face of enemy attacks, Chen Yuan and his party were already very lucky to find a place to live, and the city lord's mansion, which was the command center, did not need to be considered at all.
The dwarves didn't leave the inn to look for supplies after placing their items, and even now not all shops are closed, but the probability of finding them is not high, and wandering around is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.
Heff was going to go to the top of the city to find out the situation after everyone settled, while the rest of the team simply drank ale in the tavern of the inn... Dwarves with heads.
"Huff, I'll be with you."
Chen Yuan caught up with the old man who was just about to walk out of the door of the hotel, he also wanted to know about the situation in this city, and vaguely he always felt that something was wrong.
"It's okay, John, I'm a lot safer with the old man." Laughing and teasing, Huff and Chen Yuan began to walk towards the highest point of the city.
No matter which branch of the Elven clan has a distinct feature, that is, the higher the building, the more important it is, generally speaking, such an elven city built on ancient wood or half-broken giant dead wood, the building built on the highest point is usually either the castle lord's mansion or the clan altar.
In terms of the size and function of the city under his feet, the probability of being an altar in the clan is extremely small, and the building at the highest point is most likely to be the city lord's mansion that has become the command point.
The huge dead wood had been hollowed out, and the other three tree walls were still used for defense, but because this one in front of the Castle Lord's Mansion had been demolished, the highest-end mansion was more conspicuous.
There were a lot of night elves encountered along the way, and each elf hurriedly walked past Chen Yuan and the others, and at most they ignored it after a glance, thinking that they had also received relevant orders.
There were no accidents, and after a ten-minute walk down the stairs, Chen Yuan and Huff arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion, which was located inside the giant deadwood.
The night elf guarding outside the door was slightly startled when he saw Chen Yuan and the two, and waved his hand behind his back, and the shadows in the two dark corners disappeared, and after looking at each other, the night elf on the right stood in front of Chen Yuan.
"The general has not yet returned, so if there is anything you need to wait."
didn't emphasize that there was an important place in the city behind him, and he didn't scold the two of them for having bad intentions, everyone was a person with a normal IQ, and he could mix in the position of the city lord's personal guard, and many times the night elves who were guarding their duties were clear in their hearts.
It's just that Chen Yuan and Huff are waiting outside for the city lord to return, and Chen Yuan and the two have no objection to this time issue, in the end, it is someone else's territory, and the consequences of breaking through are not small.
After a while, a Night Elf in the temple trotted out and whispered a few words, and the Night Elf who was on duty immediately said, "The general has returned, you two can go in." ”
After saying that, he gave up his position, and the rest of the duty guards didn't see it, and didn't react in the slightest.
Glancing at each other, Chen Yuan walked into the City Lord's palace first, and Huff followed closely, but after a distance of 100 meters, an ice-blue throne appeared in front of the two of them.
Chen Yuan, the night elf sitting on the throne, was no stranger, and the leader of the wall guarding the wall that their team met when they entered the city was this night elf, but they didn't expect that this night elf was not only the supreme commander of the city, but also the lord of the city.
Seeing Chen Yuan and the two approaching, the night elf on the throne stood up and put down the hood on his head, and his long flowing purple hair was thrown out, and the image of a purple-haired night elf beauty with the figure of the elf made Chen Yuan slightly surprised.
I thought it was a man... In terms of height, even if it is an elf, it is considered very high, Chen Yuan thought to himself. Although the status of men and women in the elven clan is equal, the empress is quite rare, even the female city lord is no exception, and in this city, the purple-haired night elf in front of her is no different from the queen.
"Meet again, Destiny Keepers heading to the Lighthouse." The Night Elf's voice is magnetic.
"I'm sorry to bother you at this time."
After exchanging glances with each other, Chen Yuan took a step forward and responded.
"Allow us to introduce ourselves..."
"No need." Chen Yuan's words were interrupted by the Night Elf, she had already walked less than three steps in front of Chen Yuan's body, and after a closer look, Chen Yuan realized that the Night Elf's pupils were actually light purple.
"Your identity has spread all over the continent under your feet, just like a famous warrior, at least in front of the rulers of various countries and even cities, it is not easy not to know you."
"Am I right, Lord John Joe of the 'Wall', and His Excellency Buck Dawes Huff, the 'White-robed Archmage'."
Huff nodded slightly, Chen Yuan was a little uncomfortable, was he so famous? ..... I didn't do anything, I just traveled all the way to two countries.
"Lucifer, Doran Lucifer, the order to help the 'Guardians of Light' has been given by the Queen, and I will support and help your team as much as possible in the name of the Lord of the Moon Shadow City 'Moon Star City'." A respectful ritual from the Night Elves, Doran Lucifer said.
"Thanks for the help from the Night Elves." Huff responded.
"So, what's the matter with the two of you coming here today?" After saying the necessary official words, Doran Lucifer began to get straight to the point.
At present, the chaos outside the city has not been completely resolved, and there are hidden dangers in the city, so there is not much free time left for her.
This time, Chen Yuan didn't speak first, although he guessed something, but at this time, Chen Yuan felt that it was better to leave it to Huff to communicate.
"Your Excellency, we happened to see the conflict between you and the 'Shining Sun Clan' when we entered the city, although it may be a bit offensive to say so, but... While the 'lighthouse' has not yet been restored, it is feared that a rash war will give those monsters an opportunity. ”
"And..."
The staff in Huff's hand tapped the ground, and a circle of magic ripples spread, and the surroundings quickly fell silent.
"In terms of the vigilance in the city, is there something unexpected going on? If we need help, I think we might be able to help. ”
Huff didn't say it explicitly, but Doran could already hear what he meant.
The war outside the city was originally an accident, and the source of the war seemed to be hidden in the city, such a big hidden danger, Dolan was originally very troubled, when the 'lighthouse' was about to be extinguished, this kind of problem appeared, and a territory that did not solve their Night Elf clan would become a place to face the 'black abyss'.
Since the outsiders had already guessed something, Doran simply thought about it for a while and then had a showdown.
"We didn't start the war on our own initiative."
"I suspect that the monsters of the 'Black Abyss' did it."
His eyes suddenly froze, although Huff knew that once the protection of the 'lighthouse' weakened, the invasion from the void would become inevitable, but it was rare for the spatial passage to produce a crack so quickly.
"After investigation and speculation, I suspect that a small group of 'Transfigurations' is hiding in the city, and they have transformed into our Night Elves to slaughter three villages outside of 'Flare City'."
"We didn't take precautions until the war started, but at this time, the 'Transfiguration Demon' has become a foreign business Terran mixed into the 'Moon Star City', and we have no countermeasures for the time being."
No wonder they had to secretly probe when they entered the city, there was already a team of 'shapeshifters' in the city, and if there was another team, it would be a lot of fun.
Although the Transfigurs are only a mid-tier race in the 'Black Abyss', their powerful constant mana skin talent allows them to transform into any species that is not too large in size, ignoring scouts below the legendary rank.
Chen Yuan had seen the statement about the harmfulness of this race in the book before, although the actual combat power of the transformation demon is not high, but the destructiveness brought by it is one of the best, whether it is intelligence exploration, anti-intermediation or infiltration and destruction, it is first-class, and some higher-level transformation demons can even avoid the detection of the legendary rank, which can be called the king of spies.
Whoever is in the place mixed in such a team of enemies who may stab you at any time and kill you will be restless, and now Dolan is anxious because of this matter, and while dealing with the accusations and attacks from the 'Shining Sun Clan', she tries her best to explain, and at the same time, she must be distracted and beware of changes in the city, which has to be replaced by Chen Yuan who feels that he is afraid that he is not far from being autistic.
This kind of monster has the ability to really engage people with mentality!
"I see... I've also fought the Transfigurines, a bunch of unguarded rats that are even more dangerous than some of the high-level 'Black Abysses'. ”
Although the Transfiguration Demon is also a difficult problem to deal with in Huff's eyes, fortunately, it seems that the rift in the spatial channel is still very small, and the space-time layer of the West Elfa Continent is still stable.
"Leave the problems in the city to us, this is more or less what we should do."
"Thank you for your help, Archmage. I will settle the disputes outside the city, and the Yaoyang clan has realized that something is wrong, so I will leave it to you inside the city. ”
"There have been several sudden deaths in the city before, mostly from civilians, if..."
“.....”
After discussing the results, Chen Yuan and Huff left the City Lord's Palace, the purpose of this trip was successfully accomplished, and it was not a good thing to be able to meet the special race from this continent's 'Black Abyss' in advance.
After returning to the hotel, Huff gathered everyone to repeat the conversation they had just had in the city lord's palace, and even the drunken dwarves suddenly woke up when they heard about the shapeshifters, they had heard a lot about this dangerous monster, and among the others, Fawkes reacted the most violently, even taking out the short gun behind his back and starting to wipe it.
"I don't think anyone here is more proficient in this aspect than Fox."
At the end of the day, Huff turned his attention to Fox, and the group focused on Fox.
"Yes... Yes, no one knows so much about the minutia better than I do. Fawkes ruffled the right side of his hair, the edge of his face empty.
"They took my ears and even my wife! My baby! Thirty years ago, I almost died at their hands. ”
The pain in his eyes flashed, and then an irrepressible hatred and anger appeared in Fawkes's eyes, and the crazy aura emanating from his body even made Chen Yuan feel a chill.
It was a person who had the most fundamental and deepest killing intent, a killing intent that was completely driven by hatred.
"They're a lot of small gestures, aren't they?" Fawkes smiled distortedly, "But I'm glad that this time, we can play with them to our heart's content." ”
"I know everything about them."
