Lovian pushed the text in front of him towards Mercedes.

"When will you be back?"

"In the visible time. Luo Wei'an replied, "This matter cannot be delayed, and I think that I am more concerned about the safety of my daughter and my disciple's relatives than the interests of the elves. ”

Filius, who was beside Mercedes, nodded approvingly.

"It's really an indisputable reason," Mercedes took off the space ring from his hand and placed it in front of him, "as your security deposit." ”

Lovian looked at the action strangely, "I actually...... I really hope that I can get this thing after the unification of the elf race. ”

In the way of thinking of the Lovian demons, this is indeed a reasonable reason, but from the perspective of the Terrans, this view is too direct. From the perspective of the elves, such a request is also understandable, so when Luo Weian said this, the atmosphere was still very harmonious and harmonious.

"It should be fine, I'm not the only one anyway, but only if your plan works. Mercedes nodded, "As a demon, we can trust you like that—I can't believe it myself." ”

A day later, Lovian sailed from Dongdu Port and headed north to the reception terminal in the Victorian Inland Sea in the western neighbouring province of Edelstein.

Now that the port of Dongdu has been successfully obtained, the rest of the matter is to discuss the details. In this respect, the elves with a fine mind are even better than Loveian.

First of all, it is necessary to consolidate the control in the port of Dongdu. This is the basis for all subsequent transactions. In order to conceal Khalmaniya's correct assessment of the power of Mercedes, in the first period they focused on the transformation of the port of Dongdu with technical force. For example, changing the form of the resonance magic array of the communication circle, the force field gave birth to various details of the magic circle, so that even if Harmaniya really counterattacked one day, they could not immediately have the control of Dongdu Port.

The second stage was to consolidate the defense of the port of Dongdu. This is very basic, but it is also not easy to do well, first of all, the military police and gendarmerie brigade that used to be garrisoned in Dongdu Port under the control of Harmaniya. These are subjected to strict ideological scrutiny, without the suppression of the bloodline of the Elven King of Mercedes. It only takes a slight provocation for them to be able to immediately defect to Harmaniya. The reason why they remain calm now is still because of the traditional education they have received and the indisputable suppression of the blood of the elven royal family. So in general. A large part of the Elven Royal Family must remain in Dongdu Harbor at all times to keep the bloodline suppression going.

During the raid on Dongdu Harbor, no elves were seriously injured or killed, except for a few minor injuries due to the corrosive effects of the Dark Essence and other magical derivative effects. This is actually a huge victory. Because it is very difficult for the life-loving elves to accept the emergence of a cruel royal government. Even if an elf died on the battlefield - this was something that Lovien could not understand.

Securing the shipping route and waiting for supplies from the elves living in Victoria or other parts of Osiria is the main thing right now. In addition to this, Mercedes also needed to broadcast the radio broadcasts that Guò had already protected to spread the news of its comeback as much as possible to the port of Orient. Despite Harmaniya's efforts to silence the Mercedes at full range, the news of the return of the Elven King continued to spread rapidly within the Eastern Forest. This is still something that Luo Weian did not expect, thinking about elves in the way of thinking of a demon is bound to encounter a lot of accidents. Fortunately, however, there is no indication that events are going beyond the flexibility of the plan.

Next, in the follow-up materials are concentrated to a certain amount. After the ideological transformation of the military police and gendarmes accused of zhì is qualified, the suppression of the bloodline of Tongguò in a small area, coupled with the gradual growth of the non-royal elf fighting force, can completely and smoothly control the Dongdu Port, and gradually spread, through the bloodline power of the elven royal family, and influence and collect those small elf villages outside the Dongdu Port. It didn't take long, because these villages didn't have any meaningful armed forces, and they were subjectively tired of the clash between the light and the dark cities, and they were soon able to gain control over them. This progresses gradually until the Twin Cities of Light and Darkness fall into a situation of isolation.

Such a plan seems to be very easy to be completely wiped out by the absolutely powerful forces of Halmunia Thongguò, who occupy an absolute advantage in strength, but the reason why this qiē has been able to happen so far, and the stronger force that has appeared is only a single Grant, and that is the means of Harmunia to control the eastern Dulinhai.

The balance of the two most important forces in the guò is to control the elves in the dark that the people do not know, and this is how he has controlled the elves in the past five hundred years. In fact, he is helpless to do this, although he is also a royal elf, but one does not have the recognition of the golden cherry tree, and the other does not have the most important token such as the elf crown, he has absolutely no possibility of being recognized by the whole elf clan that adheres to the tradition, so as to establish himself as a king and establish a solid royal government.

In other words, ninety-nine percent of the elves of the elven race did not know the name of Harmania at all, and they only monotonously responded to the various gradually increasing taxes and requisitions caused by the various war preparations of the light and dark cities.

"There must be the shadow of the six mercenary groups in the Dongdu Forest Sea. Sitting on the deck on the side of the flying ship, Lovian said leisurely, enjoying the abundant dark elements of the night.

This is an inevitable situation, to be able to assist such a large race, and not be rejected by the people within the race and resist their own beliefs, flexibly help such a strong person to control the elves, the carrier of this power cannot be the elves themselves, considering its flexibility, the powerful and free mercenary group in the human race has such a possibility.

"Haven't you forgotten that Harmaniah is still the representative of the elves in the Holy Land?" said Dominita, looking at the dark green forest sea below in the night.

"Then do you say, does His Majesty Sinas believe in a royal elf who doesn't even dare to come forward in front of his own people, or does he believe in a righteous elven king who wants to unify the elven race?" Lovian shook the goblet in his hand. Through the crimson liquor, the moon turned into the totem of the Lovian clan, "This time, in addition to helping your senior brother pull Snow Foam and the entire Wintington family out of the big net of Edelstein. Another point is to find out what those Terran mercenary groups have to do with Dongdu Linhai...... Well, Nita, you shouldn't drink at your age...... But it doesn't matter if you drink a little - you should learn the art of drinking first-"

"- Okay, teacher, I'm learning. Dominita said as she patted the thick book of "The Famous Wine of Osiria" in her hand.

The flying ship in the moonlight emitted regular magical fluctuations. The various auxiliary magic spells of the levitation circle and the propulsion circle engraved around the ship uniformly and regularly absorbed the flowing magic elements around it, and the huge magic crystals revealed a smooth and slender arc of light through the gaps in the wooden hull.

The magic element here is extremely strong. Not because of its location, but because of the different magic towers that connect the flying ships between the two places to create a path full of strong magical elements, like the tracks of a train. Only such a rich magical element was injected into the magic circle of the flying ship. to be able to lift it off and run smoothly.

Therefore. It is strictly forbidden for anyone to engage in any form of cultivation in each flying ship, in order to prevent individuals from absorbing magical elements and interfering with the flying ships in the sky.

That's why Lovian has so much free time to read books and tell Dominita as many stories about the demons as possible.

In the calm of the moment, Lovian focused his eyes to the limit, and in the farthest part of his field of vision, he faintly saw another flying ship.

"There's no such route on the map. He muttered to himself.

Dominita glanced up at him, then lowered her head and continued reading.

That far-flung route. Vaguely more than here, there are more rich dark elements that make him feel familiar.

At the speed of a flying ship. It also took twenty-four hours to reach the province of Does. It was one of the few times in Lovian's life when he had nothing to do at all, and he still enjoyed the experience of flying in a flying ship long after a long time.

One of the most important points is that in this day's time, Luo Weian instilled the history of the demon race that could not be found in the current history books into Dominita's mind as much as possible, which made him feel inexplicably that if he lost his memory or died in a daze one day, the history of the demon race would not be broken, and Dominita could be regarded as an insurance!

With this eccentric mood, he and Dominita set foot on the land of the Terran docks.

It has to be said that among the four intelligent races in the world, the human race is recognized as the race that does not pursue artistic details the most. But it is also strange that in the field of Osilian's top artistic creation, the Terrans often contribute more than the elves. It seems that such a generally less artistic race has concentrated most of their artistic talent on a few human beings, who are often able to influence the cultural history of mankind in the short or long term.

Given that this art is a pervasive influence from above, the dirty corners of human beings can appear in the shadows of the grandeur and art of architecture in all kinds of details.

The ground is made of the hardest granite, and the long history still leaves a few abrupt glossy surfaces on the once rough and uneven ground. Garbage thrown from the commercial area around the pier is piled up on the corners of the streets where several layers of dirt have accumulated, and the rats have made their mess even more confusing.

And just above these dirty corners is the 100-meter-tall Doth Airway Magic Support Tower, and it is from the top of the tower that there are tons of magic crystals and a magic array with a total area of tens of thousands of square meters, so that the flying ship that Lovian is on and many other cargo ships can take to the air.

Such a fee is naturally quite high, but considering that Luo Wei'an will change later, he still decided to break the bank.

The corners of Lovian's mouth twitched as he retrieved the deposit from the dock attendant after deducting the travel expenses.

"Five gold coins!" Luo Weian looked up at the top of the magic tower, which was shining with magic all year round, and shook the five golden bills in his hand, "Do you know what five gold coins can do? That's enough for any person to eat good food and good food for a month!"

"Teacher, don't you say that you almost became a demon emperor? Why do you care about this money?"

"You think you're the one who makes the money at home!" Lovian glared at her, "How much reserve does the family have?" We'd better save a little bit. ”

Dominita looked at the teacher with a bored and incomprehensible expression, then pulled out her map and walked to the nearest light rail station on her own.

An important characteristic of the human race is that there are too many redundant officials and redundant positions. If you buy two tickets to the border of Edelstein Province, you first have to pay the money and get a receipt, send the receipt to the second place for stamping, then go to the third place to go to the security check with the ticket, and finally go to the fourth place to get the ticket, and then go to the waiting room to wait for the bus.

"You know? That's the problem with the big races. Lovian said sleepily to the students. "Officials have no choice but to become a lot, so many people can fish in troubled waters and take advantage of loopholes - you are making some private money while people are not paying attention, who cares?"

Dominita holds a copy of the Imperial Charter. It's a pleasure to watch.

The benches in the waiting room were filled with humans, and occasionally a few noisy dwarves were punching each other and sipping the spirits from the flasks. Above the hall there was also a pure wood spirit clan, their wings vibrating like dragonflies that allowed them to levitate smoothly on the roof of the hall.

It's only been a few days since Lovian found out. The status of the demon race in the human race was not as low as he thought. Even if Dominita completely exposes her demon characteristics to human society, it will only attract more attention. The short-lived humans quickly forgot about the hostility between humans and demons five hundred years ago.

There are no trains to Edelstan now, first of all, the Black Wing base camp that looks like it could detonate the whole of Osiria at any moment is still there, and secondly, this dark province that has actually long since become independent always creates a strong sense of insecurity for any outsider. So Lovian could only get as close as possible to Edelstan's borders and then find a way to get in. Once there, maybe the instant messaging reel will be able to enter the communication radius with Francis, so that a qiē will definitely go a lot smoother.

Due to the situation, there were almost no queues in Lovian. He got into the empty and spacious carriage. If the seats are full, the air conditions here will be unbearable.

Because there are no passengers. The light rail train was up and running in no time. It is an old model of magic-propelled train, powered by rails doped with crystal fines. Compared with aerial energy supply technology, this technology matured very early.

Dominita was quietly leaning against the window reading a book, and Lovian noticed a scruffy-looking figure not far away.

"Hey!" the human waved at Lovian, reacting to his attention, "Trying your luck?"

Luo Weian nodded in friendliness: "No, I'm here to visit relatives." ”

"Visiting relatives, do you have relatives over there?"

"Edelstein. ”

The sloppy young man immediately became surprised and said loudly in disbelief: "How is it possible, Edelstein is already under martial law, you have no way to pass through the border guards!"

Immediately, his voice changed, and he magically flipped out of his hand.

"But but—"

"- Red City Crown Mercenary Regiment?" Luo Wei'an recognized the badge at a glance, it was the Red City Crown that was currently the fourth of the six major mercenary groups of the Terrans.

"Understood!" Lovian snapped his fingers, "It's the mercenary groups that are in control of the situation in Edelstan right now, right! If you want to get in, you have to have evidence of the mercenary group? You tell me this, you don't want to sell this thing to me, don't lie, you count from the top down in your left pocket, there are four in the third pocket." ”

The young man choking on all the words in his throat looked at Luo Wei'an with a calm face, and the former legion commander admired the expression of this young human for half a minute.

"You, you... You, how do you know. He finally swallowed his breath and touched his pocket with the badge of the Red City Crown Mercenary Regiment with a panicked expression.

"It's very simple to look at with mental power. Luo Wei was relieved and stroked his burgundy hair, "Please call me Luo Wei'an, this is my student Dominita, they are all demons." But I'm half-blood. ”

No matter which piece of information Luo Wei'an had just now, it was enough to keep this little mercenary who hadn't seen much of the world in shock. Lovian then admired his expression for a moment, and Dominita, who was beside her, glanced at the teacher speechlessly.

"Demons, what about your relatives?" whispered an inconspicuous little mercenary in the crown of the Red City. "And your strength - I don't know...... I didn't hear anything!

"-You're enough!" said Dominita, frowning, unimpressed by the surprise of the Terran who had affected her reading.

"As you might imagine, we're here to save them. And you don't have to say oh. Lovian shook his finger and said, "Tell me what you're going for." ”

The little mercenary staggered and said, "Yes...... Okay, my name is Dika, and I joined the Red City Crown Mercenary Regiment five years ago—" Dominita bookmarked, closed the book, and began to listen, "and I'm still the lowest level member, and I can't participate in official battles in normal times. I'm just in charge of some logistics and intelligence work, and by the way, I can only earn some extra money for myself. After the Black Wings attacked Grey Nanyang City last year, the intelligence said that they had plans to move their family to Nanyang City. They even built several magic towers between Edelstein and Nanyang. It is to use flying ships to transport supplies and personnel. ”

Luo Weian remembered that among the previous flying ships, the mysterious dark non-existent flying ship he had seen in the far distance was really a flying ship with a path.

"Everyone now knows that His Majesty and the Holy Sect have reached an agreement to complete a large-scale strategic encirclement of the Black Wings from the east and west through Guò Ariante and Griva. Inferred from the current state of the black wings' immobility. It is not difficult to accomplish such a strategic goal. Black Wings after breaking up most of the Grivar Empire with a lone army. The damage itself is also quite severe, and it is unlikely to take the initiative to attack.

"The newly established route of the Black Wings broke this, because of the fear that the base camp of the Black Wings in Edelstein might threaten the province of Victoria in the west, His Majesty sent the Central Army to the eastern front to strengthen the Edelstan defense line, this move drew a considerable number of garrisons from Tiantai Pass, but fortunately, in order to cooperate with His Majesty's actions, the Holy Sect's Earth Knights and the two main legions of the Holy Sect moved south in advance, flanking through the Minar Forest. Drive almost in a straight line towards Ariante. The Swan Knights and several other main legions in the center immediately moved from the southeast, passing through the territory of the Grivar Empire, which had been scorched by the Black Wings. Surround Nanyang Castle from the northeast.

"And the other force in the human race is the six mercenary groups. This is the task that His Majesty personally went to the joint meeting of the six mercenary groups and applied to them - to destroy the magic tower and the shipping route, and to hinder the movement of materials of the Black Wings as much as possible. After saying this, Dika, who had just appeared to be very active, hung her head and looked very depressed.

"You've failed?" asked Dominita abruptly.

"Yes, we underestimated Black Wings too much. Dekka spread out her hands, "I thought that the combined strength of our six mercenary groups would be able to complete the task assigned by His Majesty, and the reward promised to us by the Holy Land would allow each of us to go all out." However, the gap in technology is too big, and the war technology of the Black Wings is too powerful, and our combat team has not seen many Black Wings teams with our own eyes. They completely abandoned the confrontation of the military formations in the past, and completely infiltrated our rear in a single or small squad manner, disrupting the command operations at all levels, and then completely crushing us with a small military formation - it sounds very simple, but we have no way. Months passed, and we only knocked down a few bricks on the magic tower, and beyond that, we achieved nothing. ”

"Did the six mercenary groups you mentioned come forward, the number one mercenary group?" asked Lovian, guessing that the Cross Brigade would not use their power here, after all, this behemoth is a worldwide joint organization.

"Did you say the Manju Sawa Mercenary Regiment?" Dika's expression suddenly became subtle, as if he had seen something that disgusted and frightened him, "Their people think they are superior to us, and to be honest, we don't like them. But, but they were great, and the only time they succeeded, they did it. They knocked down a flying ship with black wings. ”

Speaking of this, Dika became silent, and he took out the emblems of the other Red City Crown Mercenary Regiment in his coat pocket, "Before the Central Army blocked the border of Edelstan, I made a deal with those who wanted to enter Edelstan. There are many other races besides humans, and they are much more generous than my kind. But after the Central Army blocked the border, even if there was such a thing, it would be difficult to enter. If I hadn't registered with them before, I wouldn't have been able to cross the border line now. ”

"And how did Francis get in?" Lovian whispered to Dominita in Daedric.

Dominita shrugged and said she didn't know.

The intervals that followed became longer and more silent. After a few brief conversations, all that remained of the carriage was the monotonous clicker of the wheels passing through the cracks in the tracks. In the carriage of just the three of them, the sun set and rose, and the day passed.

The terminal was a small station, where only an old man of the Terran smoked a hookah, and after a symbolic look at their tickets, he opened the door of the station, which could not stop anyone at all. Dika hurried goodbye to them, gave them the name of a place they did not know, and told them if there was anything they could go to find him.

In late spring, the cold snow of winter still lingered in the northeast of Osilia, and the howling cold wind brutally snuffed out the life that had been born at this time. There were no sheltered trees around it, only yellow, lifeless blades of grass, cascading out into the endless wilderness.

The bleak and lonely mood seemed to have engulfed the teacher and student for a moment, and they could not bear to step onto the humble carriage pulled by two sick old horses. Under the astonished gaze of the Terran coachman with the wide-brimmed hat, Dominita spread her wings and flew off into the distance, Lovian dragging a long cloud of black dust behind her. (To be continued......)
