Soon, the long procession left the city of Teresa and moved at a rapid pace towards the distant avenue.

Theresa City and the destination are about a hundred kilometers away, although this distance is not far, but the camel beasts pulling the cart are also very slow, often only walking more than ten kilometers a day, and they have to eat and drink along the way, so that they can always maintain full physical strength.

After a little calculation, Reinado knew that if he walked at a normal pace, it would probably be too late, and even if he encountered some accidents on the way, he might not be able to reach his destination after seven days.

Therefore, in order to shorten the time spent on the road as much as possible, Reinado decided to travel day and night, choosing the shortest path and not stopping in the cities along the way.

But even so, it was difficult to reach the Forest of Liadon in time, and in order to solve this problem, Reinado began to consider whether to take some extraordinary measures, such as feeding the camel beasts some fed food.

Strength potions, stimulants, and stamina potions, all of which have weakened versions, are less effective and require less physical strength, even for ordinary people to use.

Of course, although the effect has been weakened, the price has not been reduced much, at least compared to the original version, which is not very cost-effective, but in order to reach the destination as soon as possible, Reinaldo decided to use some pain.

Although the physical fitness of the camel beast far exceeds that of ordinary people, Reinaldo chose the weakened version of the potion, because the effect of the apprentice-grade potion is too strong, and long-term use will cause some irreversible damage to the body of the camel beast, resulting in a decrease in their physical fitness and lifespan, which is not conducive to sustainable development.

……

As soon as he thought of this, Reinado couldn't help but feel the urge to scold the messenger.

If it weren't for the guy who foolishly revealed his wealth halfway through, causing himself to be looted by robbers and thrown into the wilderness, he wouldn't have gotten the news so late.

Now, not only did he have to spend a lot of gold potions to speed up the camel beast, but he might not even be able to get those really good goods because he was late.

Even when he went out, he had a lot of things that he didn't have time to arrange, so he could only temporarily hand over the management of various affairs to the trainee professionals who stayed behind, and let them huddle near the manor and wait for him to bring people back.

Fortunately, Reinado thought that he was not particularly unlucky, after all, the messenger actually hitched a ride with a chamber of commerce in the field, and finally the news was delivered to him in time, so that he did not miss this trading event completely.

……

Unbeknownst to him, however, shortly after the last wagon of the convoy and the camel beast left Theresa, a mysterious man in a black robe and hood had quietly ascended to a remote plateau.

He took off his hood and looked calmly into the distance, a mysterious smile on his face as the convoy led by Reinado faded away.

"Abyssal Will Contract? There are still people who dare to believe in the binding effect of such a thing, even the Eye of Judgment contract has a way to crack it, and a contract like this that can be solved by spending money is even more unreliable. ”

He sneered and took off his hood, Reinado would have been shocked if he saw this man's face at this moment.

His name is Faustino Thornton, a Level 13 Assassin, an ally of Reinado, and one of the Apprentice Professionals who stayed in Teresa City.

……

……

For the next four days, Reinado fed the camel three potions a day, three at a time, one bottle of each.

Under the effect of strength potions, stimulants, and endurance potions, the speed of the camel beast is really much faster than before, especially at the time when it has just been fed, the effect is extremely significant, and even the carriage has been brought up and down by the fast-moving camel beast, and the boxes on the car collide from time to time with a "clang" sound.

Of course, the carriage in which Sean rode was a real horse-drawn, so it was much smoother than those loaded with goods, and it was not uncomfortable.

……

The journey along the way was quite boring, because the battle of Reinado's group was so great that the bandits and robbers did not dare to make the slightest move even if they saw it from a distance.

After all, they dare to fight, ignore the law, and are not afraid of death, rather than being blind and looking for death.

With a terrifyingly large team like Reinado, and an elite looking soldier escort on the side, even if there are no professionals among them, it is not something that a few of them can handle.

Even when the other party passed by, these bandits and robbers deliberately hid for a while, for fear that the other party would notice them, and then sent people to surround and suppress them on a whim.

……

There was no trouble, and Sean was happy to do so.

He sat in the carriage every day to read and study, plus did some convenient small experiments, or studied the matching between different runes and energy circuits on paper, etc., in short, he never stopped.

Celia still takes care of Sean every day, and when she is bored, she will lean against him and be quietly in a daze, and Sean has tried to give her a few simple spell books to read, but she doesn't seem to have much interest in it, just forcibly reading it according to her master's orders, and struggling to understand.

Of course, Sean can understand her thoughts, after all, Celia was tested for professional talent not long after she was born, and the results of the test showed that the probability of her becoming a professional was very small, or even equal to about zero.

It is precisely because of this that she has not received any relevant education, and she has been instilled since she was a child with the idea that understanding this knowledge is a complete waste of time, and under the subtle influence of this thought, it is completely normal for Celia to resist it in her heart.

In the end, Sean did not continue to force her, but acquiesced to her to continue to accompany him silently, although he didn't understand Celia's fetish, but since it wouldn't have any impact on him, Sean didn't bother to care.

……

……

The tedious journey was soon over, and in the early morning of the fifth day, Reinaldo and Sean soon arrived in front of a vast forest.

The intricate trees weave together into a sea of green, and flocks of birds fly freely in the air, some of which land on a fruit-bearing tree every now and then to enjoy the day's breakfast.

This is the Liaden Forest, also known as the Liaden Forest or the Liaden Elven Forest, where an elven tribe with a registered population of 360,000 settles in it, and its name is "Silver Leaf".

The Silver Leaf Tribe has long been attached to the surrounding human kingdom, and is the common property of some of the surrounding formal and master professionals, and the entire tribe has 9 apprentice-level professionals and a large number of apprentice-level professionals, of which druids, rangers, and mages account for the majority.

Before Reinado and the others could step inside to take a closer look, a group of heavily armed elven soldiers emerged from the forest, their bodies dressed in leather armor, carrying short bows behind their backs, quivers and daggers hanging from their waists, and their faces full of vigilance.

After seeing Reinado and his party, the elves dodged and burrowed into the forest again, and quickly dispersed to hide among the trees or in the canopy, looking like they were waiting for the battle.

It's just that in front of Sean and the others, their behavior is no different from standing in place and dancing, and any professional only needs to use mental power to sweep a little, and they can easily see their position and situation.

In Sean's perception, these elves were ordinary soldiers, and there were no professionals among them, and I don't know whether they were leading or patrolling, or both.

"Hey, who are you and what are you doing here? Ahead is the Forest of the Elves of Liadon, the territory of our Silver Leaf Tribe, and no outsiders are welcome. ”

One of the soldiers asked with a hint of hostility as he stared at Reinado, who had walked to the front.

"My name is Reinaldo Cockburn, I'm here to participate in the Open Day of the Silver Leaf Tribe, this is my trade license and token, you can take a look."

Reinado didn't want to talk nonsense with them, he just raised his hand and threw a few certificates in their faces, he just wanted to enter the Silver Leaf Tribe quickly, but he didn't have time and mood to play with these ordinary elf soldiers.

"Wait, I'll find someone to recognize you."

There was a look of suspicion on the guy's face, you must know that the opening period had already started on September 1st, if it was really those merchants, why did they come now?

But he can't do this kind of thing, let alone distinguish the truth or falsity of these proofs, so he can only ask others to find a big man with higher power and insight than himself to judge, and he doesn't dare to make a conclusion easily.

If you really block the people with trade licenses outside, it is completely a slap in the face of those strong people, and in the end, the people above may be able to get away with the crime, but their little people who actually act will definitely not end well.

"I have to warn you, if you want to sneak into the Forest of Lieton under a false identity, then you really made a mistake, the Nine Elders who are in charge of receiving visitors will not be polite to you, once you find that there is a problem, you are ready to spend the rest of your life in the tree prison."

After explaining to one of the elven soldiers next to him, the elf glared at Reinado viciously.

Sean was a little surprised by his attitude, Reinaldo had obviously released his soul breath, and it was really incomprehensible that this guy would dare to be so rampant.

Besides, they have brought so many people and goods here, and there are many apprentice-level professionals, is there any need for inspection? It's impossible for a group of people to come and pretend to be traders, so if they are discovered, maybe some official-level professional will directly take matters into their own hands and serve them to a pot.

……

The elf, known as the Nine Elders, soon came to the front of everyone, and when he saw her for the first time, Sean's expression was a little solemn, and remembering some of the things that Reinado had mentioned to him before, Sean quickly determined what kind of position this so-called elder was.

According to intelligence, the elves living in the Forest of Lieton have a total of about 360,000 registered population, including more than 50 apprentice-level professionals and 9 apprentice-level professionals.

And this elf, known as the Nine Elders, is a trainee-level ranger, although in terms of momentum and soul strength, it only looks like he has just broken through, but it is indeed a genuine trainee-level elf.

In this way, since the nine elders are all apprentice-level professionals, then those elders in front of them should be stronger, unless the arrangement of the title itself has nothing to do with the rank of the professionals or the order of promotion to the apprenticeship level, otherwise the other party will definitely not only rank ninth.

"Mr. Cockburn, I thought you wouldn't be here this time."

After seeing Reinado standing at the front, the Nine Elder said with some surprise, she obviously didn't understand why the other party didn't come here on the first day, but had to wait until four days later.

"No, Betina, I've been planning to participate in this trade for a long time, but there was just some accident."

Reinado smiled wryly and didn't say much to her, but directly asked if the other party could take them into the tribe.

"Of course, it's not a difficult thing to do, and as the host of this visit, it is also my job to bring you into the Silver Leaf Tribe."

After picking up Reinado's trade license and tokens and inspecting them in a hurry, the elf named Bettina nodded dryly, and after using the Elder's privileges to send the other elves away, she led them to a forest path where carriages could be walked, and walked deeper into the forest.

……

The wagon moved forward little by little, pulled by the camel beast, and although the road here was rather uneven, it was not a problem to let the goods pass slowly.

"It's strange that those elven soldiers had an inexplicable hatred for me before."

On the way, Sean walked by Reinado's side and asked a little puzzled, "I must have met them for the first time, why is this happening?" ”

"It's just the wail of the loser, don't care about it at all." After listening to Sean's words, Reinado laughed and explained to him, "That group of male elves probably lost in the intra-clan competition, so they will always hold a grudge against us humans, especially those like you who bought elven slaves, and they are the object of their hatred, so of course they won't give you a good look." ”

……

"Intra-clan competition?"

After being stunned for a moment, the question in Sean's heart became even greater.

It was the first time he had heard of it, and before that, he hadn't carefully understood how many elves had a good understanding of the various systems.

But in the literal sense of the word, he always felt that it had something to do with the slave trade, and that it sounded a little weird just by sounding a little weird.
