Chapter 16: The Oracles and the Huntress
After leaving the temple, Yi Fan did not rush to ask Aethra to take him to the Moon Well, but let the latter show him around, because he knew that there were some things that he couldn't care too much about until he was really sure of it.
"Yi Fan, you have to pay attention to one thing, the little guy I just met in the temple is not a simple character!" Just as Yi Fan accompanied Aethera walking among the elven clans, Baroque, who was supposed to be in a deep state, seemed to have been thinking for a long time, and finally said to Yi Fan after thinking about it.
"What's the matter, is there anything special about Tia?" Yi Fan looked at Aethra in front of him, and found that she hadn't noticed the movement on her side, so he asked quietly in his heart.
To be honest, he had a crush on the little one, because he used to be a guy who liked all kinds of cute little animals, and if Tia wasn't dangerous, he would be happy to have a little pet in his spare time.
"I can't tell, but I can vaguely feel that there is an aura similar to mine in her. Baroque also had some doubts in his own tone, thinking that there were still some things that he couldn't confirm, "If I'm not in a soul state now, I can't tell what it is!"
"Really, I'll pay more attention in the future!" Yi Fan had a clear understanding of his current strength, so he naturally wouldn't make any trouble for himself.
......
Maybe it's because it's still early for dinner, or maybe it's because neither of them feels hungry yet, so after visiting all the places nearby, neither of them has the slightest intention of going back.
After walking aimlessly for a while, the atmosphere began to become a little awkward, this was the third time they had passed in front of the temple, and even the four dark guards who had been expressionless all this time couldn't help but cast surprised glances.
"Well, Yi Fan, do you want to come with me to Antola?" After some hesitation, Aethra finally mustered up his courage.
"Antola?" On the third day of coming to this world, this was the first time Yi Fan had heard of this place.
When he took Yi Fan to visit the territory, Acera had already told the latter a lot about the Night Clan, and Yi Fan also had a general understanding of the Night Clan's territory. Not only did he learn that the Elven Temple was a sacred place that ordinary elves might not have the opportunity to enter for hundreds of years, but he also knew how terrible the battles had taken place in this forest.
However, Aethra hadn't mentioned Antola to him before!
"Antola is a town located on the west side of the forest, and in addition to being inhabited by ordinary elves, because it is not far from the human world, there are occasionally some human adventurers who appear there. Aethra pointed to the west of the forest and said to Yi Fan, "If we go over now, maybe we can still find something that only exists in the human world!"
It can be seen that Athera is very interested in the things of the human world, and her face is full of yearning when she speaks.
"Well, I'm interested in humans too!" said someone who was a human with a straight face.
"Really, you're so nice, Yi Fan!" I didn't think about it, after hearing Yi Fan's answer, Acera immediately threw herself into his arms with an excited face, "Now, even if my father says no, it's useless!"
The reason why Athera didn't follow Evantiantola in the first place was all because of Simon!
"......" Rao is Yi Fan's skin is as thick as a city wall, and when faced with this sudden situation, his face couldn't help but feel a little hot.
......
When the trees on both sides of the road gradually thinned out and finally turned into flat land, Yi Fan and Aethera were already standing in front of a road that had obviously widened much wider to the west of the Yongge Forest, and if they could stand on a high place and look to the west at this time, they could even see the entire world outside the forest.
Looking into the distance along the road below, at the end of the road where the forest meets again, you can faintly see a large number of buildings that look like human towns, and huge half-human, half-deer statues stand at the front of the town, looking like both the symbol of the town and the protector of the town.
"That's Antola, and the outermost statue is the ancient Jungle Guardian Antola. Acera pointed to the buildings in the distance and said to Yi Fan with excitement on her face.
Obviously, Yi Fanken came here with her, and she was very happy!
But before Yi Fan could take a few steps to Antola's side, he stopped again, because he suddenly noticed that on another road next to this road, a conspicuous team was moving slowly.
A wooden cart that looked extremely heavy was slowly driving towards Yi Fan and them at this moment, under the pull of the two stags, and it looked like it was obviously going in the direction of the Night Elf tribe.
Yi Fan felt that there should be something important on the cart, because on both sides of the wooden cart, dozens of heavily armed elves were closely following at this moment.
The elves looked at both sides of the road vigilantly with their longbows in hand, and looking at their fully guarded appearance, Yi Fan had no doubt that they would shoot directly at any creature that suddenly approached.
At the front of the escort procession, there were three elven hunters riding Nightblade Leopards, and it was clear from the fact that they were able to make the three Nightblade Leopards advance at the same frequency, they were three experienced huntresses.
The huntress at the front had fiery red hair, a rarity among elves, and the huntress' standard weapon, the Moon Wheel, was not equipped on her left arm, but instead was a long sword pinned to her waist.
The other two hunters beside her, both wearing helmets that covered their faces, revealed only a pair of eyes with emerald green eyes.
And although they were also fully armed, they looked much more relaxed than those elven archers, because Yi Fan found that the elf who was the leader was even quite idle at this time looking at his side.
Probably noticing the movements of the hunter on the other side, Acera also subconsciously forgot about it, and then, Yi Fan found that this elf girl began to hide behind her, obviously, she knew the hunter,
"Yo, Ethera, how can you be free today, didn't you say that you want to take care of that oracle?" Sure enough, the huntress also knew Ethera, so after confirming Ethera's existence, she jumped off the back of the Nightblade Leopard while greeting her, and walked towards Yi Fan and them,
The two companions next to the Huntress had apparently not expected her to make such a move, one of them shook his head seemingly helplessly, and then made a stop movement towards the team behind him, while the other followed the Huntress behind them almost at the same moment.
"Hey, Sister Ciel!" Aethera poked her head out from behind Yi Fan with a helpless face.
At the same time as Aethera spoke, the two huntress on the opposite side had also come to Yi Fan and them, and although the face of the leader named Hill maintained the traditional softness of the elves, it also revealed a heroic spirit in that softness, which made people dare not underestimate her strength at all.
After glancing at Yi Fan, Hill turned back to look at Acera again, his face full of fanatical expression like a fan seeing an idol. Obviously, she regarded Yi Fan, who was wearing an elf costume, as an ordinary entourage who followed Ethella.
Although there was no contact, but just by taking a look, Yi Fan already felt that this woman was at least at the level of those temple guards, that is to say, this woman with a smile on her face was at least an elf-level existence.
"Oh, my little Sera, it's still so cute!" But the next moment, the scene that made Yi Fan fall through his glasses appeared, and I saw that the hunter named Hill actually took Aethera into his arms, and while he spoke, his hand began to touch Acera restlessly.
And Aethra seemed to have long been accustomed to all this, and her face showed the appearance of a little lamb that was slaughtered by the former!
However, the two parties will not find out that this scene has caused a great shock to Yi Fan as a man! When he found that the robe on Acera's body was gradually losing its original effect because of Hill's movements, Yi Fan felt that familiar feeling of dampness and heat came again.
"I'm sorry, in fact, Captain Hill is not usually like this, and only when he sees Miss Aethera Aethera......" The hunter next to him originally planned to explain to Yi Fan for Ciel, but when she saw that her captain had buried his face in Aethera's chest, she finally didn't say the rest of the words.
Although Yi Fan couldn't see the hunter's expression because of the mask, he could still guess that the hunter must be helpless and embarrassed now.
"No, don't make trouble, Sister Ciel, the Divine Envoy can watch from the side!" Noticing the strange expression on Yi Fan's face, Aethra, who reacted, hurriedly broke free from Ciel's arms, and used words to stop Ciel's actions again.
Although he talked and laughed with Yi Fan all the way, thinking that his appearance just now fell into Yi Fan's eyes, Acera couldn't help but blush when he retreated to Yi Fan's side.
"Divine Envoy?" Hill turned his head to look at Yi Fan, his eyes were full of doubtful expressions, it was obvious that Yi Fan, who was still regarded as an ordinary guard by her a moment ago, made it difficult for her to connect with the Divine Envoy.
Seeing Hill's expression, Yi Fan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, after all, he also knew that he was far from a real divine envoy, and he needed to perform hard to be called a divine stick.
"Speaking of which, isn't Sister Hill supposed to be in charge of the vigilance around the Moon Well, how could she appear in this place?" Seeing that Yi Fan seemed to be nervous when facing Hill, a trace of vigilance swelled up in Ethera's heart.
"It's the last day of March. With that, Hill pointed to the carriage not far behind her.
"Ah, I forgot about it!" Aethera playfully spat out the stone, and then turned to Yi Fan and explained, "Because the moon stone is very valuable, every once in a while, the guards in charge of guarding the moon well will transport the latest moon stone back to the tribe, so that it can prevent it from being stolen and robbed, and it can also be distributed to those who need cultivation in the clan as soon as possible." ”
Yi Fan didn't reply, because just now, he suddenly felt that in the jungle behind him, there was a faint murderous aura.
"The former reason is superfluous, Aethera!" At this moment, another female voice suddenly sounded, and the hunter who was behind him also walked over, "There is a moon well guarded by our moon guards, unless the patriarchs of the other clans personally take action, no one will want to take a moon stone from there!"
"Wendina is right, Aethra. As he spoke, Hill pulled out the silver-white sword at his waist, and turned to look at the jungle behind Yi Fan and them, "The pride of the silver flash is not something that the rats can touch!"
"So, you rats hiding in the shadows, let me die now!" said the elven hunter who had come with Ciel suddenly shouted, and as she spoke, she removed her moon ring.
The hunter's fingers could faintly see a water-blue light that seemed to be the essence of magical power, and then in an instant, the moon wheel seemed to have life, turning into a whistling silver plate and flying towards the jungle behind Yi Fan.
