Chapter 2: Invasion of Narcia
1
"Ahhh~"
A wolf howl broke the pre-dawn silence, startling the birds to leave their nests. On a high ground in the Ridge of the North Wind, a human in the form of a big-tailed wolf howled at the full moon that had not yet set in the west, and then looked over the road where he had come, where a pair of elven guards, each armed with weapons, had come after him
"Oh, Mom, there are so many people, I'd better run away!" After speaking, he jumped into the grass.
The sky was turning white, and in the wee hours of the morning, Luna had already arrived to pick up droplets of water scattered on the leaves. She gently pulled down a leaf so that the dew rolled into her crystal bottle, and then teased the blooming flowers. Spring rain, summer breeze, autumn dew, winter snow. It's a daily must-have lesson for her, and it's also the biggest pleasure she has.
As she concentrated on gathering the dew, a large-tailed wolf sprang out of the grass and slammed into her arm. The crystal bottle full of dew immediately flew out like a kite with a broken string, and the splashed droplets fluttered helplessly, and the early morning efforts seemed to be in vain.
At this moment, the big-tailed wolf immediately braked sharply, and a backward retreat miraculously caught the crystal bottle, and like a ghost, a drop of dew dropped into the crystal bottle, and soon after a pounce on the ground to catch the last dewdrop, successfully completed his wonderful performance.
The big-tailed wolf stood up, very gracefully and gentlemanly with his left hand behind his back, and took a small step back with his right leg, handing the crystal bottle to Luna. Luna carefully took the vase, watching the inexplicable movements of the big-tailed wolf, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Thank you!"
"It's my honor to be able to do something for such a beautiful young lady, may I ask the beautiful young lady, I wonder if I have the honor to have dinner with you tonight?"
The sound of the elf sisters chasing and killing in the distance was getting closer and closer, and Ji Zilian looked a little anxious, her eyes wandering over Luna and the guards, but she still had a spring breeze on her face. Luna smiled slightly, looked at Ji Zi's puzzled expression, and reached out to straighten his collar for him.
"Don't worry, I won't eat you again!" Luna chuckled as she covered her mouth and nose with her right hand.
"Why not, I'm sweet, juicy!" Ji Zilian resumed his standing posture, although he still kept talking to Luna, but it was obvious that nothing came of it, and he was about to run away.
Luna didn't say anything more, just smiled and took a drop of dew from the crystal bottle, and nodded at Ji Zilian's forehead, who immediately turned into a husky in a panic. Ji Zilian instinctively wanted to run away, but Luna hugged him and made him unable to move.
"What are you going to do here, don't you have a candlelight dinner with me?" Luna stroked Ji Zilian's head, and the cold sweat on the latter's forehead flowed down like rain.
The guards who tracked Ji Zilian consisted of two knights and several archers, and after Luna carefully sifted through them, she found that there was actually a wind magician inside. Seeing their panting and disheveled appearance, it was obvious that they had temporarily dispatched troops in a sudden situation. Luna squinted at Ji Zilian, and the strange look told him that I understood everything, and Ji Zilian actually pretended to be stupid and ate the grass after realizing that her evil plans had been exposed.
"Lord Mizuri!" the entire crew lined up and hurriedly saluted Luna.
"Captain of the Guard, what's going on?, are you chasing some important culprit?" Luna asked the leader of the group with a smile, who immediately stepped forward and saluted Luna again, reporting, "Lord Kaiyu, we're catching a wolf, and it's a wolf with color!"
"Colored wolf?" Luna turned her head and squinted at Ji Zilian, who immediately ate the grass desperately. Looking at Ji Zilian's appearance, Luna was speechless, she pointed at Ji Zilian, and then said to the captain of the guard, "Do you think it's this wolf?
When Luna said this, Ji Zilian was really scared, he deliberately lowered his head and secretly retreated, trying to escape, but was still stopped by a group of elves. The elf girls touched their heads and bodies, and they liked Ji Zilian very much, and one of the elf girls even held him directly in her arms.
"Such a cute Erha, how could it be that colored wolf? No!" The elf girl stroked Ji Zilian excitedly, and couldn't help but kiss him fiercely on the mouth, but when she came back to her senses, she found that Ji Zilian's nostrils were bleeding profusely, with an intoxicated expression.
"Why does this expression look so much like that pervert!" the elf girl threw Ji Zilian away, and the elf sisters around her also echoed.
"Now that the target is lost, there's no point in continuing to track it down. I beg your pardon for disturbing the peace of Lord Shuishen without permission, and we will retire first!" The captain of the guard took the lead in making amends to Luna, and the others immediately echoed and turned away.
In the process of the elves retreating, Ji Zilian was also quietly retreating backwards, that is, in a moment's effort, he seized the opportunity and ran away. At this time, a golden rain of light scattered in the sky, it was Luna's spell to contact the Transfiguration Technique, and Ji Zilian instantly turned into a human form, and fell on her heels at once.
"Don't forget my candlelit dinner!"
Luna's sweet voice was remembered in the rear, and it immediately made Ji Zilian fall again. Ji Zi stood up angrily, wiped the dirt and grass off her face, looked back at Luna, who was smiling at her, and immediately ran away in fright.

Standing high on the top of a hill, the royal city of the elves offers a panoramic view of Narcia. The breeze is blowing, bringing a little coolness, and it is a late autumn, and the color of decay is once again staged on this continent full of bumps.
Icarus held his sword in his hand and looked out at the distant sky, under which two dancing birds flew by. Icarus's gaze disappeared into mid-air as they crossed the air in beautiful arcs, entangled with each other. He thought thoughtfully, but didn't show it out, just withdrew his purple eyes, and focused again on the low and inconspicuous elven house beneath him.
"Tricks?"
Ji Zilian, who took on the appearance of an elven girl, stopped on the left side of Icarus, stuck the saber that turned into a spear into the earth, and looked at the city of Narcia in front of her. The mountain wind lifted his long hair and his cloak, and he looked like a heroine.
"What's wrong?" Ji Zipian saw Icarus staring at him intently, and for some reason, he thought that he had forgotten what he looked like now.
"It's nothing, I just feel that your special hobbies are really getting wider and wider! Okay, keep it up!" Icarus looked Ji Zilian up and down, pestle his holy sword Silver Light Lily on the ground, and held the hilt of the sword with both hands.
"This is called a man's true colors!" Ji Zilian smiled knowingly, put his right hand on Icarus's shoulder, and asked Icarus in a sly manner, "Hey, Icarus, we have grown up together since we were children, and we have experienced so many things, we should be regarded as brothers who share weal and pain, right?"
"You, me, Dior, Amelia, and my sister Trissy, we are all young, and you are all very important people in my life, there is no doubt about that. Why are you asking that today, have you done something sorry for me behind my back?You don't really want to be my brother-in-law, do you?" Icarus looked at Ji Zilian suspiciously, and the latter swallowed and foamed at the mouth in embarrassment.
"How so? I've always thought of Triss as my best friend. Of course, if love comes one day, then you can't blame me. Love is like a flood beast, and we can't resist it when it comes!, right?" Ji Zilian seemed to be very happy, and she had been smiling from the beginning.
"Then you'll have to come on, because my sister is engaged to Tyron of House Bourbon!" Icarus said solemnly.
"The Bourbon family?" Ji Zilian frowned, and his face changed from the initial hippie smile to a melancholy expression, "If I remember correctly, then Tyron should be Nero's brother, there is a blood feud between you! This is an obvious thing, why would the Governor say yes?"
All the questions were actually knowingly asked, and Triss's marriage was nothing more than a transaction within the Phantom Clan. Just before Icarus returned to Farsinia, it was rumored that the Crescent Moon had been destroyed by the gods, followed by a predatory attack by the undead and the Eastern Terres. At the time of the life and death of the extinction of the race, there was no infighting among the Phantom Race, and at this time, it was clear that Alsfinor, as the governor of the empire, took the lead in throwing an olive branch, and the direct result was to sell his daughter's marriage.
"It's useless not to say this! this path is also her own choice, and she can't complain about others!" Icarus was silent for a while, and asked Ji Zilian, "What did you want to ask me just now?"
"That's right, what did I want to ask you just now?" Ji Zilian rubbed his chin with his right finger and stared at Icarus with a lewd gaze, which made the latter suddenly have pimples all over his body, and then he asked, "Actually, I've been thinking about a question, you said that you are so beautiful and not interested in girls at all, do you also have any special hobbies or something?"
"What do you want to say?" Icarus asked, his other hand slowly pulling the silver light lily out of the scabbard, a cold light sweeping over Ji Zilian's eyes.
"Oh, you see the moon is so round tonight!, how dazzling!" Ji Zilian hurriedly pointed to the sun in the sky and said.
"yes, why is it so round? It's a question!" Icarus looked away from Ji Zilian helplessly.
Ji Zilian secretly glanced at Icarus and confirmed that the purple-haired young man in front of him had calmed down, and then returned to his previous situation, and accompanied him to look at the Narcia Royal City in front of him seriously. It's a great vantage point, with a panoramic view of the mountains.
"Is the boundary survey of the enchantment clear?" Icarus's sudden question startled Ji Zilian, but he quickly calmed the ripples in his heart, confirming that the main topic had arrived. He replied calmly: "It is already clear that the area covered by this barrier is about 42,000 square kilometers, and it is covered in a circle by a certain central point, which means that the entire city of Narcia is covered by the barrier. ”
"Are the coordinates of the central point of the toxin purification clear?"
"Satellite data shows that the central point is 13 kilometers east of the central point of Intramuros. However, due to the enchantment factor, we cannot rule out that there is an error in the basic data of the calculation due to the space-time distortion effect brought by it. ”
"Since the Zeg can't give us accurate information, then we can only go and investigate it ourselves!"
"Do you have any plans?" has been with Icarus all year round, and Ji Zilian knows very well that when Icarus decides to do this, it often means that his battle plan has also been released.
"Yes, but it's a bit dangerous to carry out the plan, but it's definitely fine for you. Icarus smiled at Ji Zilian, who suddenly felt confused.

At night, a black lead cloud oppressed the Forest of the Winds, like a huge quilt covering the entire royal city of Narcia, as if the elven house could be crushed with a single touch. Tongues of lightning and fire were constantly coming out of the clouds, like the eyes of a monster looking down on the earth. The sound of thunderbolts shook the sky, and violent hurricanes raged through the forest.
Icarus gathered his magic in both hands and released it into the sky, creating a huge vortex of thunder and lightning in the sky. The electricity grew larger and larger like a dragon coiling snake, and finally at the end it struck the powerful barrier below like a huge bolt of lightning. Only a crisp sound was heard, and the elf's defensive shield was instantly broken through a hole, followed by scattered sparks and rolling torrents.
It was as if a tranquil pool had suddenly been attacked by a stone, and the huge city was stunned for a moment. The elves were at a loss, and the first to react were the elven captains who were guarding them. They quickly gathered their chaotic formation in anticipation of further raids.
After Icarus' initial attack, Ji Zilian swallowed the fire elemental magic potion. Under his manipulation, a thunderbolt was followed by a meteor shower that covered the entire city. Huge magic circles swirled in the sky, summoning the flames of hell without stopping.
Under the light of the rising flames, Ji Zilian clearly noticed that the elven guards were flying towards his casting site, and it seemed that he had been discovered. Now that his mission has been successfully completed, the next task is to attract the attention of these guards and assist Icarus in infiltrating the royal city of Narcia. And evading the pursuit of a group of female soldiers has long been commonplace for him.
"It's a great blessing in life to be chased by a group of women as a man! Ji Zilian excitedly waved at the pursuing elven guards and snored, "Sisters, brother, I'm here, hurry up and chase me!
Ji Zilian jumped into a bush hound, and ran wildly between the trees. His pace was very fast, and he disappeared without a trace in an instant, making the elven guards suddenly dazed and at a loss.
"Divide into three teams, do not distance more than 500 meters from each other, do not cut off contact! The enemy is very strong, don't let the adults run away until the adults come to support! Pay attention to protect yourself!" the captain of the guard gave the order, and then the team quickly divided into three teams and walked towards the jungle.
The Wind Elves are the children of the forest, and their natural compatibility with the trees allows them to move silently across the earth. Walking into the forest, they seem to be integrated with the forest, and it is difficult for people to find out, but after all, it is still difficult to escape Ji Zilian's vision. After all, his rank and combat experience were placed there, and they were not something that a conservative elf clan could grasp in a short period of time.
As Ji Zilian gently knocked on the neck of an elven guard, the last member of the squad also fainted. Ji Zilian seemed to have won the spoils of war, and the corners of her mouth showed an evil smile. It looks like tonight's harvest is not small, and there are a lot of elf girls, so he doesn't know what to do.
"Elf girls are just beautiful, they look like they are marked and smart, and they are much more beautiful than human girls. If there is no war one day, it would be nice to marry and go home!" Ji Zi frustrated his hands and looked up and down at the elven guards piled up in front of him, "There are eleven in total, and there are twenty-three, if they are all caught, how will they end up tonight!
Just as he was about to hide the elves, a sound of breaking through the air hit. Ji Zilian instinctively leaned back, and at this time, an arrow flew past his cheek, bringing out a trace of blood. He immediately stood firm, only to see more arrows flying towards him.
Immediately flashed to the side, and his arm immediately turned into the arm of the rock elf, blocking in front of his fragile body, like a shield to block the arrows that followed. The arrows exploded in his rocky arms, causing him only pain, but no real damage. He then leaps backwards, transforms into a fox, and flees deeper into the forest.
He ran all the way down the road ahead, for it was not clear if the elves were in pursuit, and he did not know how long he had been running. He stopped, looking back at his surroundings. The dark trees are strangely open with thick branches, like ghosts, and through the layers of leaves, you can see the gray sky, which seems to have deep eyes.
"Alas, it should be safe!" Ji Zilian breathed a sigh of relief and lay on all fours on the damp soil.
"Where did the fox come from, it's so cute!" Just when Ji Zilian was relaxed, his body was involuntarily picked up, and he could even feel the soft temperature.
He wanted to break free from the shackles and found that he couldn't, and it was obvious that the opponent was much stronger than him.
"Where are you going, have you forgotten our candlelight dinner?" The voice was very sweet, but it made Ji Zi feel creepy.
It's really a narrow road! Ji Zilian's forehead was dripping with sweat.
