Although the Emerald Forest is the land of elves, when the clear sky appeared in the Emerald Harbor, it still attracted a lot of attention. Not only because of the appearance of the clear sky that would make the elves jealous, but there are still some differences between the steppe elves and the forest elves.

The easiest way to tell the difference between the two elves is to look at their ears. The ears of the forest elves are more pointed, which can reflect the elegant temperament of the forest elves; The tips of the ears of the prairie elves have an outward arc, so that they can better perceive the wind and grass on the grassland.

There were many other subtleties that made Clear Sky quickly stopped by an elven patrol.

"Beautiful steppe elves, first of all, welcome to the Emerald Palace. I know that the long journey at sea has left you and your human companions very tired, but I hope you can answer me a few questions.

I don't mean it very well, simply because very few steppe elves visit the Emerald Forest.

Please present your entry documents. ”

The Elven Patrol wore the same uniform as the human army, and retained the hooded cloak. He wore a delicate stabbing sword at his waist, a horned bow embedded in the leather bow slot at the back of his waist, and more than a dozen feather arrows.

A brindle owl flew over the elven patrolman's shoulder, and another hound crouched at his feet.

Eagles and dogs are standard for elite patrols belonging to the Emerald Court. In addition to defending the royal court, their main job was to hunt down stowaways in the forest.

Clear Sky looked at the rank badge on the left chest of the elven patrolman and said, "Sergeant, my name is Starry Sky, as you can see, I am a steppe elf.

This is my entry document......

I can answer your questions, but please don't delay too long, we spent two difficult weeks at sea and badly needed a break. ”

"I won't delay you too long." The elven patrol took the entry documents, carefully checked them, and asked, "You and your retinue are from the western realm of the Golden Shield Empire?" ”

"Yes, Harvest Grass City, Harmutu Basin, Westfrontier Agency."

"I thought you were from the ancestral grassland. Now there is too much news related to the ancestral grassland, and your grassland elves have appeared a powerful queen, she is from the ancestral grassland. She's heard that she's resurrected the World Tree, defeated evil demons, dastardly Shadowclan killers, powerful Angels of the Holy Judgment, and money-only shimmering debt collectors. And she is also an extremely intelligent scholar, and she is an authoritative existence in many academic fields.

I often teach my daughter to learn from Her Majesty the Queen of the Moonlight, but she doesn't have much interest in learning. Elves are like that, they always feel like they have a lot of time......"

Clear Sky listened patiently to the elven patrolman's ramblings.

The Emerald Forest is good at everything, but the way the forest elves speak is difficult to get used to, probably because they really have a lot of time.

Clear Sky explained with a smile, "The steppe elves who inhabit the ancestral grasslands are a branch of fierce war songs. The steppe elves are nomadic peoples, and with the exception of a few branches, most of them are constantly migrating. ”

"Oh! New knowledge was added, and after the patrol was over, I could go to the tavern and have a drink while showing off my knowledge of the steppe elves to the other elves. The lantern flower beer at the Oak Tavern is very good, the hops have a vanilla flavor and I highly recommend you try it.

There is no problem with your documents, please keep them. Can I know what you're here for? ”

Clear Sky took the documents handed back by the Elven Patrol and replied, "Her Majesty the Moonlight Queen, who has become powerful and knowledgeable because of her travels to the world, has finally saved the World Tree. Therefore, we steppe elves want to follow the example of Her Majesty, go further afield, and comprehend Her Majesty's spirit in adventure.

I chose to come to the Emerald Forest to experience the life of the forest elves. ”

Hearing that the steppe elves in front of him had come to the Emerald Forest to adventure, the elf patrol persuaded: "It's not a good time for you to come, not long ago, the Emerald Royal Court issued a ban on outsiders from entering the Emerald Forest. ”

"What happened?" Clear Sky asked knowingly.

The elven patrol replied, "I'm sorry, I can't know much at my level. Fortunately, the Emerald Court did not enforce the ban, and you are still free in the Emerald Court.

If you want to experience the forest, you can go to the Old Town, where the former life of the forest spirits is still alive. You can see holy and beautiful unicorns, and elegant and graceful swans. The forest elves are very hospitable, and you will feel at home as if you were at home. ”

Clear Sky said: "I believe that the Emerald Royal Court will definitely be able to solve the trouble encountered quickly, and we can wait here for the Emerald Forest to open."

Can we go, please? ”

"Absolutely!" The elven patrol stepped out of the way and politely made an inviting gesture: "Welcome to the Emerald Court, beautiful Miss Starry Sky." Outside the pier, you can see taxis waiting to pick up and drop off guests. If your destination is the New Town or the Old Town, I recommend that you avoid the steam car, the deer car will allow you to get around the Emerald Court unimpeded.

Hostel I recommend ......"

While the elven patrol was chattering, a sudden commotion nearby distracted him.

A group of elves dressed in old-fashioned costumes rushed into the harbor, shouting "slogans for the defense of the Emerald Forest" and using their bodies to form a wall to block the normal operation of the port.

"Give the forest clean air!"

"Our homes are being destroyed by toner!"

"Move the factories out of the Emerald Forest, and keep the ships and cars away!"

"The punishment of the main god of the elves has come, and only by restoring everything can the wrath of the main god be appeased!"

……

The elven patrol blew the whistle to summon his companions nearby, and finally did not forget to salute the clear sky elegantly: "Beautiful Miss Starry Sky, this is a small matter, we will solve it soon, I hope it does not affect your impression of the Jade Royal Court."

Remember, be sure to check out the Oak Bar for a try of the lantern beer, and their grilled vegetable rolls are also delicious.

Wishing you a wonderful evening and the rising sun tomorrow with the fullest spirit. ”

The elven patrol runs to chase away the troublesome elves.

Clear Sky couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she had seen Shelley want to pull out her gun more than once. However, this is just the beginning, and the forest elves with their unique chat skills are sure to make lasting memories of their travels.

Just as he was about to leave, Clear Sky found that the troublesome elves had not been driven away by the elven patrols, but had caused even more commotion.

The Forest Conservation is a small group of forest elves who are extreme defenders of traditional life and extremely rejecting the elves to accept the industrial civilization passed down from the human race.

They believed that the elves should live in the forest, live in tree houses, gather and hunt every day, and only obtain the necessities of survival from the forest. Pollution from industry is causing non-essential damage to the forest, which is contrary to the spirit of the forest elves to follow nature and turn their backs on the elven gods to the forest elves.

Clear Sky knew that there was such a forest protection organization in the Emerald Forest, and he also knew that this organization didn't have much energy except for occasionally running out to make trouble.

After all, the Emerald Court has found a balance between industrialization and elven tradition, the forests are strictly protected by law, and the size of the industrial zone has been very well limited. Of course, there is pollution and destruction of forests, but most elves are comfortable with the benefits of industrialization.

Judging by the performance of the elven patrols just now, it should be commonplace for the forest protection organization to come to the port to make trouble, and it stands to reason that they should be able to expel them skillfully.

But instead of being driven away, the elves who came to make trouble were not driven away, but a panic was spreading.

A terrible piece of news is spreading as quickly as a virus.

When Qingtian faintly heard the word "headhunter", he said to Jenverny and Shelley: "Let's go, let's go to the three-car hotel first." The sheriff goes to find out the news and don't get caught. ”

Jenvernie opened her pocket, and the black cat swooped out of it.

He hunched over and stretched his back to stretch his muscles: "Your Majesty...... Meow! ”

After being kicked in the ass by Jenverny, the sheriff realizes that he said the wrong thing, but fortunately, everyone around him looks at the place of the riot and does not hear what he says.

"Miss Starry Sky, leave anything to your faithful mount, and I will soon be able to find out the truthful news and join you at the inn.

Yes! Today's night is so beautiful, I really want to ...... for my daughter Sing a hymn for my young lady. ”

After speaking, the sheriff turned into a puff of black smoke and burrowed into the panicked crowd.

Shelley pressed the gun and said fiercely: "If this cat lives in the Emerald Forest, it will definitely be able to mix very well." ”

Seeing that the elven patrols were gradually unable to control the commotion, Jenverny said, "Let's get out of here as soon as possible, it seems that something bad is going to happen soon." ”

"Let's go!"

Clear Sky leaves with Jenverny and Shelley, renting a deer cart outside and heading to the new town of the Emerald Court.

He hadn't gone far before an explosion came from the docks, followed by a series of explosions. The elf who was so frightened that the driving spirit shook his whip and drove the reindeer to run quickly.

The clear sky in the carriage was consciously sorting out the information of the Emerald Royal Court.

The scale of the Jade King's Court is similar to that of the previous Angry Waves City. The old city is in the forest on the edge of the city, and the new city is built by cutting down the forest, covering 90% of the entire royal court. About half of the new city is a port area, and factories are located around the port.

The size of the population and the size of the industry determine that the industry of the Emerald Court is very specialized.

Elves are naturally ingenious, and their magical talent makes the ratio of elven magicians much higher than that of Terrans. Therefore, most of the industries in the Jade Royal Court are related to alchemy, and high-end alchemy products and semi-finished products occupy a very large share in the international market.

The Golden Shield Empire has close business contacts with the Emerald Court, and with the rise of magic technology, the trade volume with the Emerald Court will become higher and higher in the future.

The problems brought about by industrialization are gradually becoming apparent with prosperity and wealth.

The population of the Emerald Forest is urbanizing at a very rapid rate.

The abundant food of the forest makes the forest elves not too territorial, they are very casual to move, and they choose to form communities or live alone. In the past, forest elves were scattered everywhere in the forest, and the elves of the Emerald Court accounted for less than one percent of the total population of forest elves.

But when the Emerald Court chose to accept the Terran civilization in, as the only city in the Emerald Forest that allowed industrialization, it developed at a very rapid pace.

The convenient living environment and rich material and spiritual enjoyment have made more and more forest elves choose to settle in the Jade Palace. It is estimated that the forest spirits who now live in the Emerald Court may make up thirty percent or more of the total population.

And this percentage is increasing rapidly.

Population growth inevitably leads to urban expansion. Although the Emerald Court concentrated its industries in the port area, the port area has been expanded many times with the expansion of the new city.

In addition, forest elves are concentrated in cities, representing the scarcity of wild elves.

How many headhunters' territories are there in a large forest area without elves?

And how many lone elves have been hunted by headhunters?

Thinking of the chaos that was taking place at the docks, Clear Sky realized that this trip to the Emerald Forest would not be as simple as he imagined.

On the way, several groups of elven patrols on horses or elk can be seen galloping in the direction of the docks, and the chirping of griffins can be heard in the air from time to time.

The elven inhabitants looked out of the windows, panicked as they guessed what was going on.

Patrols began to set up checkpoints to block roads.

After several checks, the group finally arrived at their destination...... Three car hostels.

This is an intelligence point opened by the Golden Shield Empire in the Emerald Royal Court, which is subordinate to the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. The main job is to collect some open-ended information, and the concealment is high, so he was given the task of secretly protecting Princess Dale.

Staying at the three-car hotel, Clear Sky immediately summoned the person in charge of the intelligence station.

There was a rapid sound of hooves passing by outside the window, and Jenvernie looked outside, closing the window when it was safe to do so.

Shelley stood in the doorway with his hands on his chest, his uncovered right eye staring at the man standing by the lamp like a viper.

Sunny Sky sat on a chair and asked the man, "Are you Zoran Archer?" ”

Archer was sweating from the invisible pressure in the room. But the training he received and the mental temperament he cultivated latent honed allowed him to maintain his composure.

"Yes, I'm Zoran Archer, the head of the three-car intelligence station. Lord Starry Sky, you came with the instructions written by the first assistant of the Meteorite Star, is there any important task for us to complete? ”

Sunny Sky said, "You don't have to be nervous. Now to answer my question...... Is Princess Dale safe? She went deep into the Emerald Forest, did she arrange for someone to protect it? ”

Archer looked at Shelley standing in the doorway, and the feeling of being stared at made him feel uncomfortable. But in the face of the question, he still quickly replied: "Princess Daier is in the Jade Magic Academy at this time, and there are our secret agents in the academy, and Her Royal Highness the princess is safe now."

It's just that Her Highness seems to know that we are secretly protecting her. In the Academy, she doesn't know who our people are, so we can still do our duty of protection. But after she left the academy, she was soon able to find and dump the people we had arranged.

It is a dereliction of duty to have no protection after His Highness enters the forest. ”

According to Dale's cleverness, it's strange that an agent can follow her in the forest.

Clear Sky did not pursue the secret agent's dereliction of duty, but said: "I have my mission to come to the Jade Royal Court this time, and your task is to prepare a channel that can leave here at any time.

Get out, there's nothing urgent, don't bother me. ”

"Yes, Lord Starry!"
