Chapter Ninety-Three: The Patrol
The various demonic beast populations in the Eternal Night Forest have basically been domesticated, and those ferocious demonic beasts that cannot be domesticated have long been hunted clean by the Elven Empire, and all the moonlight fluorescence suspended here is a means of surveillance. If something without the permission of the Empire stirs up these little bits of glow, the border guards will immediately notice it.
Therefore, after the mecha broke into the Eternal Night Forest, the Imperial Border Guards already knew that a certain big guy had entered the forest, and at the same time, they also knew that the big guy had run wild for a certain distance and then stayed still.
"Masogie, guess what that thing is?" asked a shooter with a dark metal composite magic bow whispering to his companion at his side as he galloped.
"It may be that the lightning eagle has broken into the forest over there in the Land of Discord, all right! shut up, Ayton, be careful!" said a sturdy knight holding an elven sword without looking back, and after saying that, Masogi pointed to the captain of the garrison leading the way, and added: "If you drag your feet again! Captain Durin will definitely kick you out of this patrol!"
"The lightning giant eagle is not so big" Ayton muttered, after they got the information from the moonlight glow, they quickly organized a scout team, ready to investigate the situation first, but due to the strong position of the Elven Empire in the Western Continent, basically no one dared to invade the border of the empire, and generally speaking, those who broke into the edge of the Eternal Night Forest were some magical beasts that did not have long eyes.
After running for a while, Ayton couldn't help but open the conversation again, and he said a little excitedly: "I heard from the family that the eldest son of General Uondo, Ussurica, went to the Troubled Lands to capture the Deep Rock Ant Queen?"
Before his companion could reply, he couldn't wait to continue, "And the caveman has a leader who has been favored by the god of souls, and the power of the King of Curses and Blessings has also transformed his bloodline power into divine power! ”
"Can you be quiet?" said Marsogie finally turned his head sideways at the annoying shooter and asked in a serious and serious manner.
"I really want to catch the Deep Rock Queen! Mr. Ussurriga didn't recruit me!" Ayton grumbled as if he didn't see the impatience of his companion.
The Elven Empire has a lot of war ancient trees, and the problem of insect infestation of these ancient trees has always been a problem for the empire. It wasn't until the discovery that the Deep Rock Ant could effectively help the ancient tree clean its body, and the empire began to breed this giant demon ant, but the artificial breeding amount was always unable to increase, so the elven empire's action to capture the queen ant never stopped.
Deep Rock Ants and Cavemen live together in the Core Caverns southwest of the Troubled Lands, close to the edge of the Eternal Night Forest and the Rift of the Dark Elves.
The queen has always been regarded as a totem and symbol by the cavemen, and in order to obtain the bloodline given by the queen ant and the formic acid used to activate the bloodline, the cavemen will even feed the queen ant with their babies.
But in front of the hunting team of the Empire, the cavemen are naturally powerless to resist, what they can do is to rely on their understanding of the core cave to help the demon ants to transfer the anthill, in the process it is inevitable to clash with the trappers of the Empire, and in the face of the desperate protection of the cavemen, the elves of the Empire also die from time to time.
After several failed communications, the empire simply issued a kill order for the cavemen, and even added the heads of the cavemen to the list of imported trade goods, which made many outlaws in the Western Continent go to hunt and kill the cavemen to sell to the Elven Empire
This undoubtedly makes the survival of the cavemen worse, but fortunately, their reproductive ability is very strong, and they are also the natives of the rock core caves, in this harsh state of existence, they still have the spare energy to start a war against the southwest tribe of the dark elves, because they feel that the rift is also a good place to hide!
"If I can catch a Deep Rock Queen, I'll be" Shooter Ayton could finish his words when an angry rebuke from ahead interrupted his unrealistic fantasies.
"Ayton, if you're talking nonsense, get back to me now!" Captain Durin rebuked in annoyance. The resentment in his heart deepened again, who the hell decided to cram this damn guy who would only drag his feet into his patrol!
Ayton shrunk his neck at the yell, and finally fell completely quiet, and as for how long he could be quiet, his teammates were completely unconfident
After running for a long time, the patrol finally saw what had invaded the location where the alarm came, a blackened scrapped mech?
Captain Durin pondered for a while with a straight face, how could there be dwarfs and goblins here? But fortunately, the Gnome Mechanics Association and the Goblin Consortium have always been the trade objects of the Elven Empire for a long time, so Dulin did not immediately order an attack, he was ready to find out the situation first, and if they were unintentionally intrusive, they could be expelled from the country.
But as soon as he walked into the mecha, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, beside the clear spring in the forest not far from the mecha, there were two people resting, not dwarfs, not goblins, but elves and humans!
The two men also noticed the arrival of the patrol and looked over in unison.
Even in Durin's experience, he had never seen such a touching female elf! Her beauty was among the best among elves
"Imperial nobles, no" The captain of the garrison was vetoed by himself as soon as a thought came to his mind, although the shiny silver-gray hair was rare among elves, but none of the elven nobles had this hair color.
And the characteristics of the human next to him are obvious, the simple white robe with an ancient noble charm, as well as the brilliant blonde hair and blue pupils, which have long been famous in the entire Apparaon Supreme Plane.
"Emma" Dur stepped forward suspiciously, looked at the scrapped mecha, and asked cautiously, "Hello, this lady, can I see your identification?"
The moonlight in the Eternal Night Forest was very affectionate to the beautiful elven lady in front of her, and it seemed that she was not marked as an expulsor, but a legal citizen of the Empire.
Gleilenya nodded slightly, stood up gracefully, and then took out a stack of identity documents, several of which fluctuated with a strong aura of divine magic.
Durin read the documents carefully, and then solemnly performed a respectful etiquette, that female elf is actually a priest who is concerned by several great temples of eternal night at the same time, which means that there is a high possibility of promotion to legend, even if the lady in front of him does not seem to have a particularly high level of strength now, but it is not something that he can slack off as a border garrison captain.
"Lady Gleranya, I am Border Guard Captain Durin, and I am honored to meet you, and I am amazed by your beauty. Durin greeted politely, and although he did not have the luxury of pursuing the priest in front of him, it did not prevent him from expressing his praise as a male surname.
Then he asked solemnly, "I didn't mean to offend you, ma'am, but I'm curious about the situation here, and that's my duty." ”
Gleilenya had prepared a narrative that was nothing more than being hunted down in the Land of Discord and saved by an Emma historian who piloted a mech, and in the middle of the sentence she suddenly realized that she had made up more lies in her time knowing Heras than in her previous lives combined
"I pray that the Lord of the Night will forgive me of my sins, but I have to say so," Gleilenya reprimanded herself inwardly as she continued to fool the captain of the garrison.
After listening to this, Durin did not doubt that the identity of this priestess of the moon was the most powerful proof of her words, but he still had to follow the procedure: "Emma's scholar, can I read your identity documents?"
Heras himself was a master of acting, and when he heard that he certainly wouldn't have stage fright, he made up a story that was so seamless that even Glelenya, who already knew his details, couldn't find a loophole, he immediately took out the knight medal and said in a proud tone: "This has the security seal of the Royal Council of Magic of Emma, which indicates the title of Sir Leoland." ”
Durin took it and found no problems, he solemnly put away the medal, once again made a simple courtesy to the guest, and then said: "Welcome to the Elven Empire, Emma's scholar, I will hand this medal to the Magic Council of the Elven Empire for identification, and after confirming that there is no problem, someone will send it to you, okay?"
"Absolutely. Heras replied indifferently, if it was just to verify the authenticity, his medal was absolutely genuine, coupled with Glelenya's testimony and this reasonable scene, the Elven Empire should not be suspicious.
"Then you can enter the empire now, remember to go through immigration formalities in the border city. Durin said with a blank face, and after saying that, he thought for a moment, and then added: "Do you need our escort? Actually, there is no danger in the Eternal Night Forest, but walking with us can avoid a lot of troubles." ”
Under normal circumstances, he would never be so proactive and enthusiastic, the main thing is that he wants to give the beautiful and noble priest a ride as a trip to remember.
"Then I'm sorry for you. Heras said humbly, which made Durin nod unconsciously, at least on the surface, the Emma were indeed polite.
After saying that, he turned to his subordinates and issued instructions to clean up the scene, including what to do with the scrapped mecha, which pollutes the environment, and the elves will not leave it in the forest.
Ayton had been staring at the graceful and touching priest in a daze, the dark metal composite magic bow in his hand was almost unable to hold it, until Durin stood in front of him and gave orders, the archer was still unaware, but instead stretched his neck hard, and his left hand unconsciously rested on the shoulder of the captain of the garrison, trying to push Durin away.
But then he howled loudly, and Durne twisted his hand so hard that the captain's blood force overwhelmed him, and he could only watch as he was thrown into the bushes.
