Chapter Twenty-Nine: Follow Me Later
After walking through the trees for a short time, I was almost close to the elven enchantment marked on the map.
According to Isis, one of the functions of the Elven Barrier is to reflect to the elves the intruders in the forest, and the main one is to automatically prevent anyone who approaches the elven dwellings. However, as for how the enchantment was to stop it, and how to stop it, he didn't say, and probably he didn't try it.
"I think there's always something wrong. Old Bill looked nervously around like a mouse that felt like he was being watched by a cat. He began to be virtuous from the moment he walked into the forest, and the more he looked inside, the more suspicious he became. But he also didn't have the courage to turn around and go back alone. Although the time is short, it is the temper of Helika that has been deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone here.
". You've said this ninety-nine times. I swear I'll tear your old bones apart one more time I hear you say. Hilton glared at the old man fiercely, the bruises on his face and the fierce light in his eyes rising together.
"I bet I'll blow your brains out before you do it......" The old man, who had been lewd like a mouse, suddenly became fierce as well.
Puff. A large lyrebird flew up from among the branches, and Hilton and the old man, who were glaring at each other, jumped up at the same time like two rabbits. The others were also taken aback to varying degrees.
This is not the first time this has happened. The forest is full of life, and from time to time there are various animals flashing, and it was originally a peaceful environment. Everyone's psychology is extremely tense. Although no one here is not the kind of novice who has just entered the battlefield, but maintaining this nervous state of mind for a long time, the accumulated psychological pressure is still beyond their imagination.
Walking on the line of life and death all year round, their hearts are extremely sensitive to danger and abnormal breath. No matter how closely you look at it, you can't find anything out of the ordinary, but the strange feeling that fills the air is indeed as Old Man Bill said, as if someone is always watching them somewhere. After being under such a high level of nervousness for a long time, it was clear that Hilton and Old Man Bill were approaching their psychological limits.
"Don't be nervous. The man named Sandface spoke. He was the leader of the group, and the only one who seemed to be calm. He still had that lifeless expression on his face. But the voice is bland and easy-going. He glanced at the others and said, "Are you afraid of death?"
"Nonsense, who isn't afraid of death?" Hilton angrily thrust back the fist he had just drawn.
"Then don't worry, as long as you listen to me, you will not die. The man said something strange lightly. Actually, this is not surprising in the first place. But under his flat tone, it felt like there was something hidden. Before the others could react, he said something even stranger: "Let's all chat." ”
"Chat?" the rest of the group froze. This situation doesn't seem like a good environment to chat with. Just that strange instinct made them a little hysterical.
The man suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the people, and said, "Let's be clear." I may have a lot of big deals to do in the future, and I can afford a few of the people here. If you wish, you can follow me in the future. Let's talk about what you have hoped and asked for. I'd like to hear your background as well. ”
Hilton, Druid, and Old Bill all looked at each other. Even Jessica, the woman in black who had been following the man, looked at him with surprise.
"Thank you, Boss, for looking at it. Hilton hesitated and said. "But after finishing this ticket, the locals here should be able to collect the mountain and enjoy the rest of their lives slowly, so now we should concentrate on doing a good job of the current ticket. ”
"Then I tell you, this vote is absolutely hopeless. The man and woman said lightly.
"What?" "How could it be?" "What do you mean?" the three Hiltons were shocked. The surprise in Jessica's eyes also showed that she didn't know why.
The man said lightly: "There are tens of thousands of elves in the forests of Turalea, and there are hundreds of magicians among them. There are also hundreds of unicorns. You think it's just the four hundred thieves and a few of us. Do you really want to occupy the city that this elf has been running for hundreds of years?"
"Why? Didn't Helika say it's just a small village?"
"Now I say no. Do you believe him or me?" the man did not argue, looking directly at several of his companions.
After the strange silence, Old Man Bill sighed and said, "I believe that my life is only once. ”
"But...... Didn't they swear that they had scouted and that there were only a few hundred people there?" Hilton didn't give up, and the reward for this operation did make people feel the urge to take risks.
"I'll ask you one last time, do you believe him or me?" the man's lifeless face and voice glowed with a dull life. Coupled with his strength, it seems that there is indeed a lot of thought that people dare not take risks.
"Actually, I think it should be like that. The druid nodded. He had been following the group silently, and at first glance he looked like he was a follower of several other people. "The elves have been here for hundreds of years, and they didn't even have the idea of attacking the Kingdom of Erathia when it was established and expanded. The lifespan of the elves. It really doesn't make sense, as Hillica said, the population has withered in these hundreds of years. ”
Now even Hilton no longer refutes. Once this is indeed the case, then your group of eight invaders will be completely dead. A hundred elven magicians is definitely a terrifying concept, and the lifespan of elves determines that they will not be rookies in terms of magical attainments. Although it is said that because of their beliefs and civilization, few people specialize in cultivating the advanced elemental magic of attack, but the hundreds of magicians are not hundreds of cabbages. There are also tens of thousands of archers who can serve as instructors in the human army.
I want to deal with this kind of battle. Unless, unless the three scrolls in Isis' hand have the legendary Forbidden Spell Scroll in them. However, there are no more than three forbidden spell scrolls in the entire continent, and they are almost as legendary as dragons. If Isis had this treasure in his hands, he wouldn't have to be a thief. And with his level of high-level magician, he probably didn't have the ability to use this kind of treasure that reached the ultimate in magic.
The man didn't seem to think that was enough, and continued, "Negan also sent troops in a vain attempt to cross the Turadeon Forest and go straight to Erathia, but he couldn't get past the elves. It's just that the elves are oily, so these battles are not well known. Or do you think they're just setting up such a huge magical barrier to protect against humans?"
"How do you know...... These?" Old Bill wrinkled his rat eyes and stared at the man. "And since you know, how did you join our team?"
"How do I know, you don't need to know for the time being. The man smiled slightly. In the eyes of others, it is strange and mysterious. "If you still have doubts about me, go inside and see for yourself. ”
"In that case, why do we still have to go in and die?" Hilton was anxious and angry, and drew his sword again, as if trying to find someone to stab him twice. But he found that there was no one here, and he dared to stab him. So they waved it around. ". I'm dead. , why didn't you say it sooner. It's fun to say it at this time, isn't it?"
The man said lightly: "That's why I told you just now to follow me, believe me, the reward shouldn't disappoint you." ”
The others were silent. Walking here in a hurry, but inexplicably hearing such a news made their nerves tense and their minds unable to react. Only Druid Anderson asked, "And what do you want us to do?"
The man said, "Since we are no match for the elves, why not turn them around and help them deal with the thieves......?" Maybe there are other enemies. ”
"What......? It's too unrighteous. Hilton touched his head, and the others were flustered.
"I agree. I'll help you. Anderson almost blurted out yes. "As long as you can help me get the elves for the few things I need. ”
Hilton thought about it and had to nod. Although his mind is not very good. But after so many years, he is still very good at discerning the situation. The man had already stated his purpose, indicating that he was on the elves' side. Although I don't understand how such a person can have anything to do with the elves, but in this case, if you don't join, it's the same as directly asking the other party to kill and extinguish the mouth.
Old man Bill thought about it, nodded dejectedly and said, "Okay, this is the final chance of victory." You don't have to be turned into a hedgehog by the elve, and you don't have to go back empty-handed. "This old man's mouse-like appearance is not an ornament, and he can naturally see that it is very important. What's more, if you really follow such a person with real strength, maybe the benefits will indeed be many.
Continuing deeper into the forest, the man genuinely asked about their backgrounds and experiences. Gone are the nervous defenses. Along the way, everyone slowly and gradually came to the edge of the elven barrier.
"Why don't you ask me where I'm from, and why don't you ask me what I pay to do things with you?" Jessica, the woman in black, suddenly asked the man.
The man kept a straight face and didn't answer. Along the way, he did ask about Hilton, Druid, Anderson, and Old Bill, but he didn't ask Jessica. The three Hiltons didn't think it was strange, in their opinion, since the two of them had been mixed together, and they were still stirring up so vigorously and loudly, they naturally couldn't be more familiar with each other. Jessica was surprised by the words that came out now.
"Is it because I've done it with you, you think I'm with you, and I should be your person? "The words of the woman in black are naked, and they are also very bland. "You'd better not think so, **yes**, doing things is doing things, those are two different things. There are not a few people who have done it with me, and more than a dozen of them have been slaughtered by me. ”
The man was stunned for a moment, scratching his head. This action that seemed to be an ordinary young man made his originally deep and mysterious temperament immediately fade a lot. He sighed: "You didn't say it, and I don't want to ask...... Now you can say it...... I'll talk about that later. ”
At this time, the elven enchantment had appeared in everyone's sight.
At sunset, the warnings carved by the elves on the trees in the human script commonly used on the continent have healed into scars on the trees due to age. Even someone as non-magical as Hilton could feel something strange in the air ahead. Old Man Bill and Anderson let out a groan of amazement at the same time, and they could feel an almost infinitely extended magical barrier merge with the trees, flowers, and even the vitality of the surrounding trees, flowers, and even the air.
"It's an artistic magical project, and I'd like to ask these elves for advice. "Old Bill's eyes are shining, and so are the druids.
The man hesitated in front of the magic knot interface, but finally took out the magic scroll. He didn't really know what the consequences of breaking into this magical barrier would be, so he still planned to use this to go in and then explain it to the elves.
The reels opened. A puff of magically condensed flames burned violently from the man's hand, burning directly on the magic barrier in front of him. Two trees also immediately burst into flames under the magic flames.
"So you can break this magical barrier?" Old Bill stared. Not only was he stunned, but everyone else could see that this was indeed a fire-based flame magic wall, and the pure fire-based mana was not too big or small, and it was a very standard scroll, but it didn't look the same on the outside.
"That bastard, dare to lie to us. The man shouted.
As if ordered by a man's shout, a strange whistling sound resounded through the trees at the same time, a screech of hundreds of feathered arrows tearing through the air at the same time. At the same time as the Flame Demon Wall scorched the magic barrier, the light and shadow in front of it distorted, and hundreds of elven archers appeared in front of them as if they were coming out of the air, and the arrows in their hands were already full of arrows.
Those who had not seen it with their own eyes would never have imagined the situation when hundreds of arrows flew towards five people at the same time from different directions, although it was only for a moment, but the hundreds of arrows almost converged into a wall in the air. There was not the slightest collision between the arrows, each of which ran to the eyes, throats, and chests of the five men, and these arrows were enough to kill five people hundreds of times.
Hilton and Jessica felt it almost as soon as the elven archers struck, and they dodged back to the side, dodging the arrows that would turn them into hedgehogs. Although the druid did not transform, he also showed great agility, rolling on the spot and flipping over.
Old Man Bill could not have such skills. Thankfully, there are others. The man scurried in front of him with an arrow, and at the same time covered his face.
Hundreds of arrows hid on the man's body at the same time, but at this moment, a faint light appeared on the man's body, and the arrows fell on him after a burst of rain on the plantain leaves, and he didn't even hurt a single hair.
"Fighting spirit?" Hilton, who had just jumped away in embarrassment, was busy and surprised before he could stand firmly. is worthy of being his current boss.
But this extremely powerful boss, who blocked hundreds of arrows with his flesh and blood body, immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Please stop, we are here to surrender." ”
