The Strait of Gibraltar, still the same as before, has not changed much at all. As the only way to enter the Mediterranean Sea from the North Atlantic, the Tang people set up a strict vetting system here, and every ship that wanted to enter the Mediterranean Sea was subject to strict inspections. The prosperous Mediterranean, as always, is always full of merchant ships coming and going. However, the harsh audit system of the tow still caused dissatisfaction in many countries and criticism from many merchant ships.

To this end, Tang people have also made a series of adjustments in response to this situation, and relaxed a lot in response to the strict audit system. However, the size of the smuggling fleet and the number of troops stationed in Gibraltar have increased. The fort facilities on the shore have never been dismantled, and various parts of the fort are inspected and repaired every year. They also inspected the weapons and gunpowder in the arsenal and the huge artillery on the fort, which fully demonstrated the great importance that the Tang people attached to Gibraltar.

Today, the Strait of Gibraltar is as lively as ever, with merchant ships coming and going all the time. Although the Tang people had strict audits on merchant ships, they only let the navies of various countries come and go after routine inquiries. They also do not dare to target countries too much, which will provoke many unnecessary enemies and troubles. Although the Tang people are the hegemon of the Mediterranean, they still respect and recognize them to a certain extent, but they are not satisfied with their attitude towards the merchant ships of various countries. However, for this, the Tang people simply didn't bother to pay attention to them. He still goes his own way, ignoring the interference of other countries.

When the figure of the elven fleet gradually appeared, everyone was first shocked, and then panicked. The Dons looked at the white ships that were becoming clearer as if they were facing a great enemy, and the warships anchored in the military port of Gibraltar were sounded with alarm bells, and all the sailors boarded the ships as fast as they could. The large-caliber artillery of the fortifications on the shore, all gathered at the entrance to the narrow Strait of Gibraltar, was ready to shell any incoming enemy.

But there is still one side, and there is no way to do it on both sides, that is, the Ceuta region, which belongs to the Kingdom of Morocco in North Africa, has not fallen into the hands of the Tang people. This makes it impossible for them to effectively block the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. However, dozens of warships still sailed towards the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, all of which were spread out horizontally, directly blocking the entrance to the strait.

Although the Tang people had seen the elves, they also had some communication with the elves for a while, and the two sides formed a friendship. However, they had never seen the elves assemble a huge team of white ships of dozens of sizes and come to the Old World. Therefore, no matter what, they regard the elves as potential enemies, and the necessary preparations should be made.

The reaction of the Tang people and the appearance of preparing for battle with all the cannon windows opened were seen by the elves.

"It seems that humanity sees our arrival as a potential enemy." The eyesight of the High Elves is extremely good, like eagles, they don't need things like glasses to assist their eyesight, and the Tang people's preparation posture is clearly seen by their eyes. Therefore, they moored their fleet in the open sea and did not advance.

"Elswell, you've been here and you've communicated with humans, so it's up to you to show up and explain to humans what we're here for."

"Yes."

Eswell complied, and then he sailed alone in a small boat to the Strait of Gibraltar, and when he appeared, the Tang people in the Tang fleet who had seen Eswell were puzzled and happy to talk.

"It's Mr. Eswell, he's back."

"It's just, this time he led so many white ships, and what is the purpose of coming back again?"

The sailors were puzzled, but the commanders of the warships ordered their officers and men to be on guard, and not to let their guard down just because they were 'acquaintances'. God knows what the purpose of these elven fleets is here, and what is the reason for this, but they are welcome to come with good intentions. If it is with malice, then it is necessary to start a war with the elves.

When Eswell's boat came to the Don people, he took the small boat that the Tang people had sent to the Tang people's warship, and then told the Tang people about their intentions.

"Don't be nervous, my friends." Eswell reassured them, "We elves are a peace-loving race, and we have come here with good intentions, not with malicious intent. So don't be nervous. ”

"That being said, Mr. Eswell, your ship is large and has a lot of artillery on it. My duty is to not be careless. ”

"I can understand that." "If you're not at ease, we can seal the weapon and tell you the High Elves' kindness with our actions." We have come here to do God's will and to help you, not to have bad thoughts and ill will towards you. ”

"I need to report to the Governor, and then I need the Emperor's authorization to let you in." For the awe of the unknown race, even if the Tang people knew the elf Eswell, they did not dare to let down their vigilance. God knows what these races, which are said to have a history of more than 10,000 years, will be like. Therefore, when they did not understand the combat power of the elves, the vigilance of the Tang people was not reduced in the slightest because of Eswell's arrival, on the contrary, it climbed to the extreme because of his arrival.

Eswell was helpless, he could feel the distrust and vigilance of the Tang people in his heart, so he said: "Of course, my people will wait in the open sea, and we will not enter this strait until we are invited by you." In addition, I will follow you as an emissary to your Emperor and inform him of our purpose and purpose. Believe me, our two races will only be friends and not enemies. ”

Hearing Eswell's words, the Don's nervous expressions eased slightly, and then a small boat took Eswell back to Gibraltar, and personally met with the Governor of Gibraltar to explain to him the elves' intentions and purposes. The Governor was surprised, but there were still some doubts in his heart, after all, the elves had returned to the old world again, and there were too many people and ships coming. They can't be careless!

Then, a clipper boat took Eswell and the Governor's envoy and sailed quickly towards the Tang mainland. When Eswell met Emperor Tang, although Emperor Tang was surprised that Eswell would come back so soon, he was still very happy and welcomed Eswell's arrival. Subsequently, Acewell personally told the Tang Emperor about their intentions and purposes.

"Teach us?" Emperor Tang looked at the elf in front of him suspiciously, "We have never had too deep communication with the nobles, why do you want to help us?" ”

Eswell corrected, "It's not just you, it's the humans of Europe, Asia and Africa!" ”

"What's the reason for that? Human beings do not have much communication and friendship with you, so why should you help human development? Moreover, I don't think that my Datang civilization must be worse than your elves. ”

"It is God's will to help mankind!" Eswell said, "And Your Majesty, even if your civilization is also excellent, one thing you cannot deny is that our High Elves have a civilization that has not been broken for ten thousand years! We have seen more species and learned more than you do. ”

"Who is your God, and why does he help us?"

Eswell replied with a holy face, "Our God is the master of the world. The High Elves are his people, and so are the humans, and all life in this world is his people. God, it is God's will for us High Elves to help humanity who is still in the backward stage and to help you in all aspects. We don't know why God did this. ”

Tang Huang was obedient and fell into silence.
