Chapter VII Missions
For the City of Knowledge, the three-day Sowing Festival is not a particularly important festival, just some traditional activities, but today's City of Knowledge, the city is particularly beautifully decorated. The gate D between the western temple area and the outside world is open, the spacious street is clean, the sides are full of flowers, colorful butterflies dance among the flowers, pollen is scattered from the brightly colored wings, and a fine glimmer shines in the sun.
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers. Several teenagers ran around the nearby streets, waving rolls of newspaper in their hands and shouting: " Fifteen copper coins a piece, come and see, the city guards have cracked a major case of smuggling dangerous goods, and the amount involved is as high as 13,000 gold coins; the city lord took a nap at the city council meeting yesterday, whether he was too tired from working during the day or too tired at night; the elven envoy group is about to arrive today, why is the beautiful elven queen coming; Miss Mura in Beicheng District sprained her ankle during a performance, and 500 enthusiastic dance fans spontaneously stayed outside the hospital and prayed all night. Do you want to know the latest news? Do you want to know the latest price trend of goods in the new season? Do you want to know Miss Ansha's waistline? Buy a newspaper, you can get all the news you care about, as long as you buy fifteen copper coins, as long as you buy one less piece of black bread, you can get the latest news. “
On the street at the city gate, more and more citizens gathered on both sides, crowded on both sides of the street, curiously looking at the city gate at the end of the street, looking forward to the arrival of the elven envoys. As the receiving party, the Holy Capital did not do anything superfluous except to clean the streets and arrange the flowers, and arrange the venue and residence, the only requirement was that the residents wanted to see the excitement of the city guard will not stop it, but everyone must ensure that they are neatly dressed. As a result, many bored residents gathered in the western temple area early in the morning to wait for the elves to arrive. After all, although elves are not uncommon for the residents of the Holy Capital, due to the perennial peaceful life, the envoys of the foreign race in the real sense have not yet been seen, let alone the envoys led by Her Majesty the most beautiful elf in the legend. Everyone is inevitably a little curious. Of course, as for the point of curiosity, it is difficult to say whether it is a real envoy or a beautiful elven queen. But most of the men would say that they were just interested in the legations.
More and more people gathered, including even some of the young sons of wealthy families, dressed in the most gorgeous clothes, combed the most fashionable hairstyles, and wore the most decent accessories. I squeezed to the position closest to the street, and there were a few people holding flowers in their hands, hoping to be lucky enough to find an opportunity to be like a beautiful and elegant elf. However, these people were soon chased away by the City Guards, and the City Guards did not want to know how the nature-loving elves would react when they saw someone deliberately harming plants just to sacrifice them, and the team members were sure that the reaction would not be happy at that time.
Having driven away the rich kids who were not quite in their right minds, the city guards continued to patrol back and forth on the streets where the elven envoys were expected to pass to maintain order, and their task today was heavy. Of course, the mission is not to protect the safety of the elves, no one will be stupid enough to think that an envoy group composed of elven demigods and a group of elven high-level professionals needs a group of low-level professionals and ordinary people to protect, their main task is to maintain order, so that the elves will not be disturbed by the group of curious residents of the holy capital, if this group of noble and elegant elves really get angry, it will really cause a bloody case.
Soon after, one could see a flock of birds suddenly gathering in the woods not far outside the city, circling around an area. The area was moving closer to the city at a speed visible to the R eye, and soon left the woods. Appear in people's field of vision. It was a small convoy of eight vehicles, and the style of the convoy was very different from that of humans. All of the vehicles were not horse-drawn carriages but deer carts, drawn by domesticated jungle stilt deer, and these docile-looking deer were actually classified as silver-tier monsters. There are two goat-like horns on the top of their heads, which are extremely sharp and have piercing properties themselves, which can easily tear through the Dou Qi defenses below the Golden Rank. Since the middle of the Tertiary period, the elves have domesticated this bigfoot deer in large numbers as a means of transportation, and also used it as a riding horse. Pulled behind by a bigfoot deer. It is a carriage made of vines except for the wheels, which are light and strong, and when woven into a carriage, not only can they provide excellent defense, but they are not at all as stuffy as a human carriage, and it feels like returning to nature.
Around the convoy was guarded by a hundred elven riders, most of whom rode Bigfoot deer, and only the leader of the ten squads rode the better Jungle Leopard. The riders were neatly dressed in elven hunting suits, draped in emerald green capes, and their heads were shrouded under the hood of the cape, which was designed for the elves themselves, with two holes in their heads that allowed the two pointed ears to slip through. They carried large bows more than a meter long on their backs, small hunting bows and crossbows hanging from their waists, and stabbing swords that were close to their waists.
Looking at this group of elven guards, most of the onlookers did not react, but there were still some people who were proficient in history who felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. It was not hostility, but a very strange feeling, because those who recognized this group of guards knew that these hundred guards had a common name - Elven Forest Guard, that is, the Elven Forest Guard, who was dispatched during the 214-Day War more than 1,200 years ago, almost swept more than half of the human territory, * after the surrender of the human race, changed the political structure of the human world, and finally returned to the jungle safely, and it was also the only purely militarized force of the free-spirited elves. Although the war has been a long time ago, and people now evaluate that war with gratitude, it is difficult for everyone not to feel a wave of discomfort when they see this legendary unit.
However, fortunately, time has already diluted everything, and any discomfort has become very light, after the forest guards escorted the convoy into the city, they still got a huge cheer, although most people just joined in the fun, but when a small number of people who were not comfortable to see the excitement took the lead in cheering, a large number of people still cheered, although they didn't know what they were cheering for.
Correspondingly, from the windows of the second and subsequent cars of the deer car convoy, elves poked their heads out, smiling diplomatically, waving to the people, and their elegant movements aroused the favor of the people even more. However, the first car remained silent, maintaining the reserve and mystery of the elven queen.
"Tsk, this queen is rude. On the roof of a building next to the street, Pannis, dressed in a black tuxedo and a wide-brimmed top hat, dressed as a gentleman, pouted on decorative crutches and said, "Until now, I still refuse to show up to greet everyone." ”
"Yes, it's too much. Beside Pannis, a low, magnetic voice floated from under a black cloak, wrapped in a black cloak: "Let's condemn her together." (To be continued.) )
