Chapter 18: The Harper's League
The World Tree longbow covered with metal feathers at both ends of the bow arm is no less than a sharp blade, and if it is cut down at once, it will definitely be able to disembowel the enemy in front of it.
It's just that although Qin Lun took advantage of the enemy's discomfort with his own strength to take the lead, the person in front of him was a high-level ranger with skilled martial arts after all. I saw it fall to the ground and roll, and avoided Qin Lun's heavy split.
Qin Lun naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, and when he took a step forward, the World Tree longbow was cleaved again.
However, the opponent seemed to have anticipated his follow-up attack, supporting the ground with both hands, under his head and feet, and lightly touching Qin Lun's wrist on his toes, which suddenly made him feel a tingling in the forearm of his right hand, and the World Tree longbow slashed into the air crookedly.
"Huh?" Qin Lun was shocked, he used too much force, and this time it was because he lost his balance.
However, the enemy on the opposite side did not seem to intend to take advantage of the danger of others, and flipped back a few times to widen the distance, and then jumped onto a large banyan tree next to him with a vertical leap, holding the trunk with one hand, and looking at him condescendingly.
"It's kind of interesting, it looks like it's going to drag on for a while!" Qin Lun lowered his head, moved his wrist, and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Huh!" Qin Lun stretched out one hand, and a huge six-pointed star circle appeared out of thin air on the muddy clearing in front of him, and the figure of a huge beast like a building slowly condensed and formed in the strong magic fluctuations, and the Hell Flame Demon Dog, which had not been seen for a long time, finally reappeared in the world.
"Whew~~" Cyberus's two hideous heads were raised high, and he let out a wolf howl excitedly. As soon as it turned around and saw Qin Lun behind it, it immediately shook its tail happily and pounced towards him, its huge body blocking the light like a mountain, making Qin Lun change color.
"Stupid, stop, stop!" Qin Lun retreated angrily, because after Cyberbullus was promoted to the highest rank, his size had become too big, and he hadn't practiced with it in the training ground of the starry sky for a long time, but at this time, he had a big oolong.
"Woo~" The Hell Flame Demon Dog stopped aggrievedly, the dripping magma on its body kept raising clouds of water vapor on the muddy ground, it seemed to dislike the environment here, and turned around twice in place irritably, sticking out its tongue at Qin Lun and panting. The smell of sulfur in his nose made the silver-haired elf a little sullen.
"Hehehe~~" There was a sudden laughter like a silver bell from the treetops, and Qin Lun's opponent saw this scene, his shoulders trembled and he leaned back and closed with laughter, unable to help himself. The atmosphere of slaughter that permeated the venue suddenly disappeared, but it brought a little joy.
Qin Lun raised his head, and at this time he finally had time to take a closer look at this powerful opponent. Instead, his opponent put away his scimitar, jumped off the treetops generously, and walked towards him with his hands raised, signaling that he would not fight again.
With the help of the moonlight in the forest and the elf's excellent night vision, Qin Lun quickly saw the appearance of this opponent clearly.
He or her figure is a little tall, almost half a head taller than Qin Lun, who is of ordinary height, at least more than one meter nine.
She wore an khaki hooded cloak behind her, and only a breastplate armor on her upper body, and the majestic twin peaks held up on her chest like a pair of basketballs. The lower body is a pair of low-waisted close-fitting leather pants with the belly button exposed, and a pair of high leather boots on the feet.
Her upper and lower body has a golden ratio and a pair of long legs. At the same time, the hips are hypertrophied, the waist is slender, and the toned and plump thighs form an exaggerated S-shaped curve with the waist and abdomen as thin as willow branches.
As she walked towards Qin Lun with a catwalk, obvious toning lines were revealed on her naked lower abdomen, and the umbilical ring on her navel swayed up and down.
It's a "big" woman, no, judging by her pointy ears that are exposed outside her hood, it's still a "big" female elf! Her skin is pale blue, and her stature is clearly different from that of a normal elf.
"Highland Elf!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he quickly found the minority among this kind of elves from the memory inheritance of the ancient elf hunter.
The elves in the broad sense of the Faeron continent include all the elves who have fled from the Ferrell plane to the main material plane, the world of Torreel. Most of these elves belong to the Yantagir Elven Empire, and the main races are the Golden Elves (now the Sun Elves), the Moon Elves, and the Green Elves.
In addition, there are also a small number of sparsely populated branch elf races, such as: Qin Lun saw a thumb-sized elf in the Demon Cup Royal Court was one of them, and the highland elves were also such branch elf races.
Unlike the main elves such as the Sun Elves and the Moon Elves, the Highland Elves are also nature-loving, but they have an unrestrained temperament and advocate wildness, preferring to live in the mountains and forests at higher altitudes, unlike the main elves who establish settlements in the plains and forests with plenty of water.
The cold climate brought by the altitude, as well as good exercise, make most Highland elves relatively tall and fit. The figure of the female elf in front of Qin Lun can only be regarded as ordinary among the highland elves, and the male elves are even taller and stronger.
However, because of this, most of the elves who make up the majority of the elves do not like the highland elves very much, calling them "barbarian elves". Just as humans call the Northlanders barbarians, the elves are racist.
"Your Highness Ferral, please forgive me for my offense and temptation in the past few days!" The female elf lifted the hood that covered her face, put one hand across her chest, and bowed down to salute Qin Lun.
The female elf's face is painted with camouflage camouflage, her cheekbones are somewhat high, the bridge of her nose is straight, and her eyebrows are slender. Compared with her bewitching figure that turns all beings upside down, her facial features are slightly neutral and quite feminine.
"You know me?" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly, cautiously hiding most of his body behind Cyberbullus.
"Feral Moonlight, the only Elven Prince of Theopia temporarily recognized by the Shining Moon Court, is one of the inheritors of the Moon Elves who have retraced the ancient path. Disappeared near Baldur's Gate more than three months ago. He is rumored to have received an ancient elven heritage, is skilled in archery, and has two hunting companions, one of which is a two-headed Cerberus from the abyss. ”
The female elf on the opposite side glanced at Cyber Bullus and replied respectfully, "Yes, I just confirmed your identity, Your Highness the Prince. ”
"Who are you?" Qin Lun's hostility subsided slightly.
At the beginning, King Tyne Quilas of the Anker Elven Court, in order to let the Moon Elves share the glory of the Sun Elf Envoys to retake the "Ancient Road", not only stuffed Qin Lun into the Sun Elf Envoys of Milleras, but also sent messengers in a very high-profile manner to inform the Moon Elf Court along the way.
Many elven courts in the Faeron Continent have obtained his information, however, these elven courts will not be unfavorable to him. Since the female elf in front of him has obtained so many of his "personal information", then at least it should not be an enemy.
"I am a Highland Elf of the Chromy Mountains, and Mastasya Starstone salutes you!" The elf bowed again.
"Resistant Mountains...... The people of the Silver Moon Alliance? Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he asked cautiously, "You found me at the Baldur's Gate, why did you keep following us?" ”
"The Highland Elves are collaborators of the Silvermoon Alliance, but I have nothing to do with the official bodies of the Silvermoon Lords' Council." The elf smiled and said, "I am a harpist, serving only my ideals. ”
"Harpist League?" At this moment, Qin Lun was really a little surprised.
The last time he entered the world of Torrell, he was hunted down by the Santarim along with the Sun Elf envoys of Milleras, and the Harpists were the sworn enemies of the Santarim.
The Harpermen's League and the Santarim Society are like twins of light and darkness.
The Santarim Society is undoubtedly an evil organization, belonging to the camp of the Orderly Evil. Their primary purpose was to control the trade lanes of the prosperous region of the Feron Continent, and their secondary purpose was to control the political centers of all the city-states in the Moon Sea region, including Mmaster City, Jade City, Onla, Melfante, and Far Hill.
Anything that cannot be directly controlled by them, the Santarin Society will not hesitate to use a terror to force it to submit, or secretly weaken its power until it can no longer pose a threat to the dark intelligence network, and finally obediently submits.
In fact, the Santarin Society is the largest and most powerful gang in the Feron Continent. Luxury goods smuggling, slave trade, illegal drug trade, arms trade, killer hiring, etc., any profiteering industry, both legal and illegal, has the shadow of the Santarin.
However, gangsters also have gang rules, and the Santarim will follow certain unspoken rules even in the cities they control. Their evil is aimed at the disadvantaged, but not at the civilized order of the whole continent, so they are the evil of order, not the evil of chaos.
As for the League of Harpers, even if the most demanding chroniclers of time are judged, they are also a good camp, nothing more than chaotic goodness.
It's strange isn't it, when Qin Lun heard about this camp from Milleras's mouth, he also felt very strange. It's inconceivable that there is still chaos and goodness in the good camp, isn't it the evil who leads the chaos?
The Harpists League is a strange organization, and the main purpose of the Harpists is to maintain the balance of the world and disrupt the plots of the evildoers. This organization is extremely loosely structured, a secret and contradictory organization, not only does it not have a clear leader, but it also has a very complex personnel composition.
Non-evil people of any age professional race can become harpists, humans, half-elves, elves, halflings, dwarves, ...... The first three make up the majority of harpists, who are mostly bards or rangers. Other professions also have a place, be they mages, thieves, or priests.
Harpists mostly act alone, and can even become spies, dangerous rumors, or assassins who sacrifice their lives if the current situation on the continent requires them to step up.
In fact, harpists are a combination of these professions, and as long as they think they are fighting evil, then they will not hesitate to do it. Neither follow the routine, nor do they care about the secular laws, the unspoken rules of the underground world, or even the church of the gods, so they are classified into the camp of chaos.
Because it is not organized, the story of the harpist cannot be told in its entirety. Nothing is clear, nothing is prescribed, not even over.
The harpist is known as the "Interferer of the Continent of Ferron" or the "Deranged Idealist". Most of the time, they wander around and make secret inquiries about important events that will affect the trend of the mainland. Make your own judgment from it and be part of it.
"Really...... Honoured! For the first time, Qin Lun felt that his vocabulary was a little lacking, and he didn't know what to say at this time.
