"You said Chesem was besieged by an army of orcs?"

In the hot spring castle, in the exquisite elven wooden castle, the wood elf king Itreg is meeting the human knight Roland under the tree of life, but Itreg can't believe the knight's statement. The war between the orcs and the humans has been dormant for twenty years, how could it suddenly be provoked again? and on such a large scale.

"Yes, General Tarence told me to risk my life to go out of the city and inform the northern tribes that I hope you will lend a helping hand. After all, elves and humans have fought side by side. ”

Faced with the Wood Elf King's questioning, the knight Roland replied calmly.

"But orcs and humans have not been at war for more than twenty years, and even if there is a war, it must be declared in advance, let alone such a large-scale war of aggression. ”

Seeing the knight's affirming eyes, Itreg still didn't believe it, and continued to ask.

"Yes, we were so confused before, but the orcs seem to have come prepared this time, and deliberately did not declare war like this, the orcs are menacing, in just half a month, all the human towns north of Mount Millsis have been looted by the orcs, slaughtering the city, Chesem is now full of refugees, so we need assistance, King Itrig. ”

"Chesem is a long way from Thermopylae, you must have informed the other chiefs before coming to me, how are they preparing?"

Faced with the knight's worried statement, Itreig temporarily lowered his suspicious gaze and began to inquire about the progress of the war.

"Fort Willowwood, Dark Jungle City, Eltanas, and Fort Fabilon have all begun to recruit troops, and everyone has decided to set out from the land of Castros. A coalition was formed and arrived in Chetsom three months later. ”

Roland, the knight, stood in front of the Wood Elf King and continued to explain in fluent diplomatic lingua franca.

"Hopefully, Chetham will be able to hold on to the frantic siege of the orcs. ”

"Alright, knight, you go to my reception room to rest first, and I'll take care of the rest, and the hot spring castle will definitely send troops." ”

Itreg replied to the human knight with simple words, beckoning his own guards.

The Wood Elf Castle is built in a large cluster of tree roots, where the houses and roads are full of tree roots as far as the eye can see, and the firefly-like elves beat restlessly on the brook inside the castle, and all the streams eventually flow to a hot spring in the center of the castle, where the water is heated and a thick white mist rises, hence the name of the hot spring castle. Although it is not the first time that the human knight Roland has been here, every time he arrives, he always feels like he is in a dream.

"Knight. ”

Walking inside the dream-like hot spring castle, the knight Roland was about to enter his room, but was stopped by a wood elf behind him.

"Hello, ma'am. ”

When he turned around, Roland found that he was a wood elf girl who stopped him, in fact, for the wood elf in front of him, no human can accurately tell the age of the elf, but her approximate age can be judged from the elf's voice, and the reason why Roland thinks she is the age of a girl among the elves is because her voice is still relatively crisp and delicate, without a weathered thickness.

"You go down first, I have something to ask this human alone. ”

Raphael drove away the elven attendants on the left and right, and looked at the human knight in front of him with a strange look. This kind of look made Roland feel very uncomfortable, and he didn't know what this wood elf was going to talk to him about in the next moment. However, as a qualified human knight, Roland still maintains a knightly demeanor very calmly and makes a posture of listening to his ears.

"I heard all the conversation you had with my father, and you said at the beginning that there was an orc in the city of Chetsum, and that he was fighting alongside you?"

Raphael approached the human knight in front of him, and his eyes became more and more strange, but Roland knew that this was definitely not a show of favor to him, but wanted to know something from his mouth. But why is this wood elf so interested in the presence of orcs in Chetham City?

"Oh, ma'am, are you the old friend Abdul-Jabbar is looking for?"

The orcs and elves looked at the beautiful wood elf girl in front of him, and a bold guess suddenly appeared in Roland's mind, before leaving, Jabbar had told him that he would definitely go to the hot spring castle to rescue the soldiers, because he wanted to meet an old friend. Roland boldly guessed that the old friend Abdul-Jabbar was talking about should be the wood elf in front of him.

"Abdul-Jabbar!"

Hearing this familiar name, but not mentioned for a long time, Raphael suddenly felt a burst of joy that the person she had always wanted to meet was now in Chesem and had become a human companion. It seems that there is still hope for everything.

Raphael was glad that she finally had news of Abdul-Jabbar, and she was also glad that the human knight did not talk to Itreig, that is, her father, about Abdul-Jabbar's desire to see her, otherwise her father would not have allowed her to go to Chesem with the army after knowing about it. But in fact, Abdul-Jabbar had already had a good purpose when he told Roland about this at the time, and the clever Barr knew that if he directly told the king of the hot spring that he wanted to see Raphael, then the king of the hot spring would definitely guess who he was, the orc who had dated his daughter in the first place. In that case, Raphael would probably be placed under house arrest by his own father. Don't tell Roland who he wants to see, just let the hot spring castle send troops, maybe Raphael will go with the army when the time comes. However, Jabbar did not expect Rafael to take the initiative to find the knight Roland who sent the message, and learned everything from him.

"Yes, what a coincidence that I met you here, ma'am. ”

Feeling that his task was successfully completed, Roland couldn't help but say happily.

"Don't talk about it yet, the two of us know about it, understand?"

After the joy, Raphael cautiously instructed the human knight that Raphael did not want to spread the news to his father before he arrived in Chesem.

"Why?"

Faced with the mysterious orders of the wood elf god, the knight Roland was a little puzzled.

"Because Abdul-Jabbar is an orc, the elves who don't know anything about him will have an opinion about him. No matter what you say here, even if my father believes your words on the surface, he doesn't necessarily believe that an orc will be on our side, I don't want everyone to misunderstand, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, as long as it is Cethham, I think everyone's opinion of Abdul-Jabbar will naturally be eliminated, do you say?"

Knight Roland's doubts were completely resolved under Raphael's clever explanation, in fact, Jabbar's love for Raphael was not only due to the beautiful appearance of the wood elf, but also Raphael's clever little head.
