For the whole night, there was no peace outside the inn, and from time to time hordes of elven patrols passed by the road outside the window. Fortunately, the riots at the docks did not spread into the city, and by dawn the city was finally back to normal.

It's just that there are a lot of patrols on the streets, so that the Jade Royal Court is still in a tense atmosphere.

The sheriff, who had been out on the ground for an evening of news, walked along the eaves to the Three Cars Hotel, where an elven patrolman was talking to the innkeeper. The sheriff carefully avoided the patrolman's gaze, and after a defiant grit of his hounds, he quickly burrowed into the inn.

The hound tries to chase after him, but is pulled on a leash by a patrolman.

"Mr. Archer...... The royal court issued an order this morning that no more than eight people should be allowed to gather in public places in the royal court for two days. As a hostel business, please be sure to follow the royal decree and we will come to check it at any time. ”

Archer replied, "As a human merchant who has come to the Emerald Court to do business, I will definitely obey the royal decree and restrain my guests from gathering. Can you tell me what happened so I can explain it to the guests. ”

The elven patrol said, "I can't tell you too much about what happened, just comply." The ban will not be enforced for a long time, and it is believed that the royal court will soon find a solution to the trouble.

Please note that although the royal decree prohibits residents from going out, it is better to stay in the room if there is no need for these two days. ”

"I see, I'll tell my guests about the royal decree right away."

"The Elven Lord God bless you!"

The elven patrol who had come to give the notice led the hound away, and after looking around, Archer turned around and returned to the inn.

The sheriff was in the room with a clear sky at this time.

He lay on the table, sticking out his tongue and licking the milk from the plate, while telling the story of what he had heard.

Last night's riots were not limited to the docks, but also to the fact that many factories in the port area were affected and damaged to varying degrees.

The news of the appearance of headhunters in the forest has spread into the Jade Palace, and the elves' ignorance of the headhunters has made their fear of the headhunters even greater, as if the Jade Forest is full of headhunters, and the Jade Court has been surrounded by headhunters.

The Forest Protection Organization took advantage of this time to define the appearance of the headhunters as the punishment of the main god of the elves, and the punishment for the elves to abandon their traditions and give in to human civilization.

The elven lord god is abandoning the forest elves, and if the forest elves don't repent, he will give the Emerald Forest to the headhunters!

The sheriff complained at the end: "The Jade Court's ability to control information is really poor, and it should learn more from the Imperial Intelligence Bureau." Now that the news that the Emerald Forest was occupied by headhunters has been uncontrollably circulating in the city, no matter how much the Emerald Court blocks the news, it will be useless.

When I returned, the port area had been locked down by patrols. Factories are shut down, docks are shut down, human employees are ordered to stay in factories or homes, and elven gatherings are arrested.

By the way, I heard it when I came back...... The Emerald Court is discussing the relocation of the forest elves from the Emerald Forest.

I don't know if it's true or not. ”

The forest elves are migrating!

Has it gotten to this point?

Clear Sky said, "Let's go find Princess Daile now and let her get out of here first......"

There was a knock on the door at this time.

Shelley, who was at the door, opened the door after getting permission from Clear Sky.

It was Archer who entered, and he first said the royal order conveyed by the elven patrol, and then said: "The docks have been blocked, and all ships are not allowed to leave the Emerald Harbor. We had to find a small airship that should be able to carry Her Royal Highness out of the Emerald Court.

When you get to the open sea, you can find a ship to carry the princess back to the empire. ”

Blockade of the port and prohibit ships from leaving......

Could it be that the Emerald Court really has the idea of moving all the forest elves out of the Emerald Forest?

"I see." Clear Sky said, "You go and prepare a carriage, and we'll go to the Emerald Magic Academy." ”

"Yes, Lord Starry."

While riding the carriage to the Emerald Magic Academy under Clear Sky, a meeting on the future of the forest elves is held on the shores of the Emerald Lake in the old town of the Emerald King's Court.

On the grass covered with green grass and flowers, elves sit around a circular conference table. The Elven King Garrett XVII sat on the throne with his back to the Emerald Lake, and the other elves were all elders.

The table was not full, and about a third of the seats were vacant, indicating that some elders were absent for some reason.

Garrett XVII is also known as the Shamrock King. As a middle-aged elf, the face of the three-leaf king has some wrinkles, and the handsome elf king is no longer his label, and what is more is calm and charming. He wears a gorgeous robe, silver hair, and a crown of emerald stones.

The atmosphere of the meeting was not good, and the elders looked at the vacant seats from time to time, and could not help but show sadness.

After a period of silence, the Shamrock King said, "I have to admit that the Jade Royal Court has absorbed too many elves, making a large forest area a blank without elf supervision. This is the main reason why we didn't find headhunters in time......"

Before the Three Leaves King finished speaking, an elf elder said angrily, "No! The main reason for the emergence of headhunters in the Emerald Forest is that the elves have abandoned our own civilization and introduced the smoky human industry into the natural and holy Emerald Forest.

Alchemy is very polluted, and it produces mysterious energy to create strange things. The smoke from the operation of the steam engine made it difficult for the forest to breathe, and the greed brought by humans brought down many young elves.

The headhunters are the punishment of the main god of the elves, and only by correcting our mistakes immediately can we regain the favor of the main god. ”

The elven elder's speech was approved by some of the elders.

The Shamrock King said: "It was my decision to accept the Terran industry into the Emerald Forest, and I never thought that this decision was wrong. The appearance of the headhunter should be a scientific issue, and it cannot be groundlessly attributed to the punishment of the main god of the elves.

Now the Jade Magic Academy is collecting information and looking for a way to eliminate the headhunters. The Royal Court Patrol is investigating the distribution of headhunters in the Emerald Forest, and is actively rescuing the elves and other intelligent races trapped in the forest.

I have gathered the elders to address the crisis, not to hold them accountable. ”

The Shamrock King has a high prestige, and some discordant voices are suppressed.

Another elder said, "The royal court patrols have discovered more and more headhunter territories, and they are spreading very quickly, and many elven settlements have lost contact with the royal court. This time the headhunters are bigger than they were during the ancient wars, and we don't have the dragons' back.

I think it's time to execute the migration plan as soon as possible. Send more elves to safety to preserve your strength and come back when you find a way to eliminate the headhunters. ”

The elder's words made the Shamrock King hesitate.

The headhunters are getting stronger every day, and the speed of getting stronger is very fast, and they are already in a state of losing control.

There are many factors that contributed to the rapid eradication of headhunters that emerged during the period of ancient warfare. At that time, the elves were in a state of war, and they were very alert, and they were able to quickly mobilize elite troops when they discovered the headhunters.

And with the support of the dragon.

Now the elves of the Emerald Forest are too comfortable, not only do they find the time of the headhunters late, but they also do not have an army that can be immediately put into battle.

The patrols used to maintain law and order and to hunt for smugglers have exposed too many problems these days.

From the beginning to the present, there has been a pessimistic atmosphere in the meeting.

Just now, an elder suggested asking for help from the Dragon Kingdom.

It was suggested that a high wall should be built around the Emerald Court to block the headhunters from the other side of the wall.

There is a suggestion to organize a death squad to go deep into the Emerald Forest to find the Headhunter Empress to kill.

Among the various measures, the relocation of ethnic groups has become a more reliable plan.

It's just that how should tens of millions of forest elves migrate out?

Who wants to take it?

Seeing that the Three Leaves King was unable to make a decision, an elf elder said: "Last night, an elf attacked the docks and factories in the port area, and the news of the headhunters is spreading rapidly in the city. Even if the royal court patrol tried their best to control it, they couldn't stop the panic from spreading.

Your Majesty, you must make decisions as soon as possible, and even if they are wrong, it is better than doing nothing. ”

The three-leaf king finally said: "My decision-making is related to the life and death of the forest elves, please give me a little more time, maybe there will be good news."

The royal court patrol was ordered to continue to carry out the royal order, focusing on the port area, and there should be no more major disturbances.

The Pie Genie counts all the ships in port.

Count the granaries.

Then send the elves into the Emerald Forest to bring as many of our brethren back to the royal court as possible. ”

The elders said together, "Do your will, my king. ”

King Shamrock finally said to the entourage behind him: "Send the elves to the Jade Magic Academy immediately, I hope that the scholars carefully cultivated by the royal court can bring me good news!" ”

The attendant replied, "Yes, my king." I immediately went to the Emerald Magic Academy in person. ”

The Shamrock King nodded and let the entourage leave, and the lakeside meeting continued.

The Emerald Magic Academy was built on the top of the mountain, and there was only one road connecting with the Emerald Royal Court. During this extraordinary period, the Emerald Court sent an elite patrol to set up a defensive ring in the forest around the mountaintop.

The only way up the mountain is also set up with levels.

The carriage that Clear Sky was riding in was stopped outside the checkpoint.

Archer, who acts as a coachman, goes to negotiate, but the elven patrols just won't let him go.

"I'm sorry, human coachman! I didn't mean to make things difficult, because the royal court had instructions that we must protect the safety of the teachers and students in the Jade Magic Academy.

If you have a valid reason to enter the Academy, please go to the Emerald Lake first to apply for a pass. ”

Helpless, Archer had no choice but to come to the side of the carriage and tell the clear sky inside about the difficulties encountered: "My lord, it seems that we can only go to the Emerald Lake to apply for a pass first." If necessary, I think we can reveal the identity of Princess Dale to the elves, the relationship between the empire and the Emerald Forest is friendly, and the elves should not embarrass us. ”

The clear sky is looking out through the window.

The straight road goes up the ridge and is connected by a drawbridge to the castle on the top of the hill, over which griffons and pegasus hover.

You can faintly see that a protective shield has been opened on the outer layer of the castle.

It looks like a great enemy.

"We don't know the extent of the crisis, we don't know what obstacles we will encounter when we go to Emerald Lake, and seeing Dale as soon as possible is the most important thing." Clear Sky took out a parrot beak and handed it to Archer: "You go talk to the other party again, I think they will let us go this time." ”

"Yes, Lord Starry."

Archer didn't know what the parrot beak was for, but his boss's orders had to be carried out, and he turned to find the elven patrol in Shekha again.

When the patrol captain saw Archer coming again, he said impatiently, "Did what I just say go in your right ear and then slip through your left ear?" The Emerald Lake is not far from here and the road is very flat.

Go ahead and don't interfere with our work. ”

Archer spread out his palms to reveal his parrot beak: "My guests came by boat from far away, and they just want to enter the Jade Magic Academy and see their friends studying here."

Please let us pass. ”

The patrol captain looked at the parrot beak in Archer's hand and thought he wanted to bribe......

At this time, in the carriage, Jenverny had already completed the auxiliary words of the secret art, and the clear sky recited the secret words in a low voice.

"Clever tongue"

The patrol captain was about to drive the bribed human coachman away, but as the parrot's beak disappeared into powder, the captain turned to the other patrolmen and said, "Move the barricades and let them pass." ”

The elven patrols stationed here immediately carried out the captain's orders.

The barricades were removed, and Archer jumped into the carriage and whipped his whip and drove towards the castle at the top of the hill.

Follow the smooth mountain road all the way up.

The slightly steep road did not make the two horses stretch out to pull the cart, and the relaxed appearance seemed to be walking on a horizontal road.

Clear Sky observed the mountain road with great interest, and at the same time explained to Jenvernie how the mountain road was paved.

"Gravity is a downward force. This mountain road contains a kind of magic array, which cleverly uses the axis of the curved function of the Bohr force field to combine with the forward momentum of the carriage in the spiral force rotation.

For such a long mountain road, every point of angle change has to be recalculated on the axis of the function, and it is a very high-precision calculation. The mathematics department of Emerald Magic Academy is very powerful, and we can ask the mathematics professor here to come to us and talk about the paving process of this road, which will definitely bring us a lot of inspiration. ”

Jenverni immediately became interested in this mountain road because of the explanation of the clear sky, she took out a small notebook to record, and used the measuring tool to use magic ranging from time to time. If it weren't for the task, she would definitely get out of the car and make more detailed measurements.

Shelley on the side stared blankly.

Because I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all, and I don't know how a very "ordinary" mountain road can make Miss Sunny Sky and Jenverny talk and listen.

Fortunately, the distance is not far, and after crossing the suspension bridge, you will come to the gate of the Emerald Magic Academy.
