Chapter 1: A New Beginning (2-in-1)

The black spot on the surface of the lake was a canoe, made of a giant tree hollowed out by the Moonlight Forest, with enough space to fit a dozen people. There is no deliberate carving and decoration on the canoe, and the simple shape and pure natural wood texture reflect the natural artistic sense of the elves.

The canoe soon carried a dozen people to the island in the middle of the lake, which had no artificial structures and resembled a naturally formed flower garden. The lush lawns are dotted with delicate wildflowers, and even the prisoners have a sense of freedom.

If there is no existential crisis hanging over your head all the time, the Moonlight Forest is indeed a wonderful place to call home.

At this time, there were not many people on the small island in the middle of the lake, and apart from them, most of the preparatory apostles in Moonlight Town had seen the Starry Sky Gate. The elven guard who had sent them over left in a canoe, and he had to pick up the rest.

"Lin Feng, Qin Lun Great Demon King, do you think I'm beautiful?" Xiaolian ran from the side with a shout, with a small yellow flower in her sideburns, which set off her big round face that was a little baby fat, and she looked very lively and cute with a red flutter.

"Don't pick flowers on the island!" Qin Lun frowned slightly, looked at Xiaolian and said expressionlessly.

"Oh!" Xiaolian seemed to realize something, hung her head in some frustration, and turned to leave.

"The world always calls us murderers, but they don't know that in the eyes of all life, human beings themselves are devils!" A faint voice sounded behind Qin Lun, "We just have a different opinion from the vast majority of devils!" ”

Qin Lun's heart moved, and he turned to look at the person behind him.

"Hello, Qin Lun, I'm Hill!" The smiling "shepherd" with his big back combed his hair leaned over slightly in respect.

Among the five killers, Hill is the oldest, a white man in his fifties. Judging from that peaceful countenance, and always polite gentlemanly temperament, it is hard to imagine that this original Catholic priest would be a perverted murderer who eats human flesh.

When Hill was arrested, instead of defending himself, he said a famous phrase that was widely circulated among the prisoners.

"Humans are the Lambs of God, and shepherds are always secretly stealing!"

Qin Lun nodded towards Ciel, and the corner of his eye swept over the back of the shepherd's hand. There is a small mysterious pattern on the back of the priest's hand, which is a black two-headed snake spitting snake letters, wrapped around a silver cross.

After the canoe was sent to the next group of preparatory apostles, there were more than thirty people on the island in the middle of the lake. The elven guards no longer sailed away from the island, and it seemed that these people should be the only ones watching the opening of the starry sky.

As time passed, the people on the small island in the middle of the lake suddenly felt the ground trembling slightly under their feet. Outside the crystal shield shrouded above the Moonlight Forest, a psychedelic ribbon of colored light appeared. It's a bit like the aurora that appears at the north and south poles of the earth, and it's a bit like a curtain of transparent brocade.

The people on the small island in the middle of the lake quietly watched this gorgeous scenery, and the colored light bands kept changing and distorting in front of the floating city, as if it were a brilliant galaxy flowing in the murmur.

The colored ribbon of light stretched out in both directions in the sky, gradually turning into a magnificent stargate that stood up to the sky. This stargate is not a vortex like a space-time portal, but continues to flutter in colorful bands of light inside, and a little starlight appears from time to time.

The huge floating city is like a waddling snail under the stargate, slowly moving towards the stargate, and is finally swallowed by the stargate.

When the people on the small island in the middle of the lake passed through the Guò Star Gate, they felt as if a gust of wind had swept through them. Compared to space-time teleportation, everyone's consciousness is more awake, and they don't feel anything unusual on their bodies.

After a brief shock, the apostle who came back to his senses finally noticed that the outside of the Moonlight Forest, which was also the suspended continent where he was now, was completely different from the environment of the Red Gobi, and had changed dramatically.

"What kind of place is this, it's scary!" The little goblin pulled the corner of Qin Lun's clothes a little nervously, and looked at the outside of the Moonlight Forest with wide eyes.

If the Red Gobi where the Moonlight Forest was originally located was a barren land that was uninhabited. Then the hanging continent that it now reaches through the gate of the starry sky can be called "hell".

The parched and cracked brown earth was filled with yellow sulphur smoke, and active volcanoes erupting with flames and ash loomed as far as the eye could see. No matter what race it is, only the name hell can reflect here.

"Did we make a mistake with the teleportation coordinates?" Lin Feng asked the elven guard next to him in a bit of a daze.

"No, that's right!" In the face of Lin Feng's questioning, the elven guard's gaze dodged a little, and he replied in a sneering manner, "We really have to stay here for a while!" ”

"What is this place?" A prisoner asked, frowning.

"This is the scorching plain of the demon clan, and it is a halfway point for us to return to the elven continent!" The elven guard replied with some embarrassment, "Still, rest assured, we are safe here and will not be attacked by the Demon Clan. As for the specific situation, when you return to Moonlight Town, there will be an elf elder to explain it to you! ”

The apostles didn't shout, they had all experienced a space-time teleportation, and they had all seen some incredible things. What's more, when the sky falls, there are tall people on top, and the elves are not afraid, what are they afraid of.

In the Shattered Starry Sky, no matter what intelligent race they encounter, the identity of the Preparatory Apostle is their best talisman.

After returning to Moonlight Town, an elven elder came to explain to them immediately. The Elven Elven Elder's explanation was similar to that of the guards, and he made a security guarantee to everyone, saying that this was only a halfway point for the Stargate Teleportation. At the same time, it also suggests that everyone should try not to go out to avoid unnecessary dangers.

Qin Lun didn't finish listening to the Elf Elder's words, so he turned around and left with Didi in his eyes, a mysterious light flashing in his eyes.

Soon after he returned to the house, Adeline came to visit with a few elven guards.

"Put on your cloak and bring something important!" The elven beauty threw the two hooded cloaks to Qin Lun and Didi.

"Good!" Qin Lun didn't ask the reason, smiled and put on the hooded cloak, put on a mask handed over by Adeline, and finally glanced at the wooden building where he had lived for more than half a month, then resolutely turned around and took Didi to follow the elves.

The elves took Qin Lun and Didi out of Moonlight Town, entered the depths of the Moonlight Forest, and came to a glade before stopping.

There were already more than a dozen masked apostles waiting in this clearing, and in the center of the clearing was a complex teleportation circle, surrounded by several crystal clear magic crystals.

In front of the teleportation circle stood a very old elven elder, Qin Lun knew this elven elder, he was the dean of the Ifrit Boguang Academy, Faren Boguang, and the descendant of the legendary elf Ifrit Boguang, the patriarch of the Boguang clan in the moonlit night elves.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Moonlight Forest is both the home of the Moonlit Night Elves and your first Brigade Station after entering the Shattered Starry Sky. Moonlight Forest is honored to serve you, and I personally look forward to hearing about your legacy in the future. Faeron's gaze swept over the apostles and he said unhurriedly.

"We follow the principle of equivalent exchange, and you don't owe anything to the Moonlight Forest. In the apostle's adventurous career, the services we provide are insignificant, and we do not force any commitments to be made for this. I just hope that everyone can see this fate, and when the moonlit night elves are in trouble, they can give priority to accepting our employment, and Fei Lun is grateful here! ”

The old elf touched his chest with his right hand, and the masked apostles returned the salute.

Qin Lun looked around, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he knew that these apostles were all official apostles, and it was possible that Hansen, Hill and others were also among them.

"Master, are we leaving the Moonlight Forest?" Didida pulled the corner of the young man's coat and asked softly.

"Yes, we are going to a special apostle city, an apostle city jointly managed by many intelligent races, including the demon clan and the elf race!" Qin Lun touched the little goblin's head and said lightly.

"Ah, I see! The Moonlight Forest did not pass through the Scorching Plains, but was specially teleported here to send the official apostles into the Apostle City. Master, huh? Didi's big eyes, hidden behind the mask, sparkled.

"Hehe, little one, you're smarter than a lot of people!" Qin Lun chuckled, "However, you only guessed half right!" ”

"Is it only half right?" The little goblin scratched his pointed ears depressedly, flashed his big eyes, and looked at Qin Lun with a cute baby

"You're so smart, think for yourself!" Qin Lun looked at its appearance, gave it a burst of laughter and anger, shook his head, and did not continue to explain.

Although I don't know how many resources it will take to make the floating city cross the void and teleport to another suspended continent, it obviously won't be a small amount. To teleport a dozen official apostles to the Apostle City of the Scorching Plains, all you need to do is open the small Starry Sky Gate, why bother making such a big fuss as now.

After listening to Adeline's explanation yesterday, Qin Lun had a vague understanding of the Apostle City. The Apostle City is very much like a membership company, the Apostle is a member of the company, and the intelligent race that jointly builds the city relies on the election of members to obtain the management authority of the city.

Now this kind of apostle city is in the scorching plain of the demon clan, which means that the demon clan has temporarily won the main management of the city. The Elven Elven Elder's words were right, the Apostles would not encounter any danger on the Scorching Plains. The current demon clan is not a demon for the apostles, but a nanny.

Of course, the reason why the Moonlight Forest allows those preparatory apostles who have never seen the Starry Sky Gate to witness the starry sky teleportation with their own eyes is that it wants to dispel the doubts of those preparatory apostles who first see the Scorching Plains, and at the same time, it also uses this harsh environment to deter the apostles from leaving the city.

It was not that they were afraid that the Preparatory Apostles would be in danger, but that they would be abducted to the floating city of the Demon Clan.

As for why the Moonlight Forest went to such lengths to teleport to the Scorching Plains, Qin Lun guessed that it might have something to do with the trouble encountered by the elven clan. The tranquil and serene environment of the Moonlight Forest makes everyone forget the true face of the floating city.

What was the purpose for which the Floating City was originally built? To find and attract the apostles, of course!

So what was it about attracting the apostles? Of course, in order to gain an advantage in the war between the race and the Hanging Continent, and for the reproduction of the intelligent race itself.

Although the floating cities built for this purpose have a variety of functions and types, one thing that will not change is that they all have armed forces.

No matter how small a floating city is, it is also a fortress, and the so-called fortress is a military facility with armed forces.

"It looks like the moonlit night elves are in a lot of trouble this time!" Qin Lun pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice.

The Scorching Plains is the base of the Demon Clan, and in addition to that Apostle City, there must be another floating city of the Demon Clan. The moonlit elves teleport an academy-shaped floating city to the Scorching Plains, and the meaning is self-evident.

It is not only to increase the confidence of confrontation, but also unwilling to completely tear his face, after all, the academy city is not a front-line fortress that is really used for war.

So if the Elves have teleported a floating city into the Scorching Plains, can the Demon Clan or other management races of the Apostle City mobilize another floating city?

The answer is no! Competition is competition, and all the apostles in the Apostle City will not allow the intelligent race that is responsible for managing the city to really have a big war around them. The elves on the weaker side mobilized an academy city to demonstrate, barely within the bottom line of the apostles, and if another city teleported over, it would not be forgiven.

This is the political wisdom of those elders of the elven clan! The arrival of the Moonlight Forest can increase the voice of the elves in the apostle city for a short time, and obtain certain benefits at the negotiating table.

Otherwise, everyone will tear their faces, make a big fuss on the scorching plains, and scatter in two. When the time comes, the elves will definitely lose the management of the apostle city, but the demon clan should not think about it. In the next election for the management of the Apostle City, they will naturally be replaced by other races.

However, it is possible to make the docile and peace-loving elves do such a rogue act. Obviously, in this apostolic city, the moonlit night elves were very miserable oppressed by the demon clan and other race administrators, and had to fight against the water.

……

"Alright, if everyone is ready, then let's start teleporting right away!" As soon as the opening remarks were over, Faeron waved his hand to the other elven elders around him, signaling them to activate the teleportation array.

When the apostles entered the center of the magic array, the magic crystals around them began to slowly glow. With a dazzling white light, the scene in front of Qin Lun's eyes changed greatly.

Now that the Moonlight Forest is out, the masks on the apostles' faces are useless. Qin Lun took off his mask, and a strong smell of sulfur rushed into his nose, but he soon recovered, and he didn't feel any more discomfort.

The apostle's law body is not covered, and many geographical environments that will have a fatal impact on intelligent beings in the broken starry sky have no effect on the apostles. After all, the Law Body concentrates the most basic world laws of the Shattered Starry Sky, and it would be ridiculous if it was still affected by the local environment.

It was a gourd-shaped valley with a large belly and a small mouth, surrounded by monstrous peaks, and the place where the apostles now stood was also a teleportation circle. However, the guardians of the circle are no longer elven guards, but creatures with strange shapes.

Most of these creatures are between two and three meters in size, and are dressed in heavy steel armor, with curved horns on their heads, longitudinal muscles of their exposed arms, brown skin, and some of them covered in scale-like armor. What sets them apart from humanoid beasts is their flaming pupils that seem to burn all the time.

"It's a demon!" There was a whisper among the apostles, but the volume was basically suppressed, and the huge size of the demons was obviously terrifying.

"Welcome to the 'Devil's Horn' in the City of the Sixth Apostle!" Among the demons surrounding the circle, the only "little demon" wearing a robe came out.

It is called a "little demon" because the demon leader who led these demons to meet the apostles is the smallest of them, very close to the size of humans, and does not seem to be as oppressive as other demon warriors.

Anyone who can become an official apostle is not stupid, and immediately realizes that this should be a demon clan, and does not want their terrible appearance to affect the apostle who enters the "demon horn" for the first time. This realization also made many apostles secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and the fear in their hearts was eliminated a lot.

"Hmph, it's you pretentious cunning again!" Faeron, who had teleported with the apostles, snorted coldly and turned his head away with a straight face.

"Hehe, isn't this Elder Feren, please forgive Beruses for being rude, I didn't notice that you personally led the team just now!" Beruss, who was called a cunning demon by the elven elders, laughed strangely, "Since Elder Faeron is here, do you want to be a guest at the 'Demon Horn'!" ”

"No need, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back!" Faeron glanced at the demon with disdain and said coldly, "However, the Moon Night Elf is still one of the five major management races of the 'Demon Horn', don't pretend to be a master in front of me!" ”

"Hehe, Elder Faren really misunderstood us!" The flame in Beruses' eyes jumped slightly, but he didn't explain anymore and immediately kept silent.

Seeing Beruses' angry appearance, a trace of disappointment flashed in Faeron's eyes, but he didn't continue to provoke the cunning demon, turned around and re-entered the teleportation circle.

Qin Lun watched the verbal confrontation between the elf elder and the cunning demon, and sighed deeply in his heart, these two old guys are not fuel-efficient lamps!

Faeron looked indignant just now, just to provoke Beruses' anger and leave a bad impression of the demon clan on the dozen or so apostles at the scene.

And Beruces looked like a little daughter-in-law, scolded and beat back, and did not explain a word, but aroused the sympathy of the apostles. Even if these official apostles were from the Moonlight Forest, I am afraid that they would not have a bad feeling towards the demon clan who met for the first time.

Fei Lun was aware of this, and immediately stopped the verbal attack, otherwise it would be counterproductive if he continued.

The Elven guards quickly teleported away, leaving only one Adeline to accompany the Apostles, apparently the Elven Beauty was going to follow the Apostles into the "Devil's Horn".

"Alright, the elegant and delicate 'Elf Lady' is gone! Honorable Apostles, on behalf of the Demon Clan and the Council of Administrators, allow me to welcome once again to the adventure garden of true men, the 'Demon Horns' of the Scorching Plains! Beruses raised his hands and grinned.

"You will have a fresh start in this apostolic city!"
