Chapter 631: Guarding the Barrier, Refugees Arrive

Connefila City.

The originally bustling city of Connefila was now shrouded in panic, and human merchants were recruiting people everywhere, wanting to quickly leave this place through the teleportation circle of a mage tower in the city.

But at this time, it can basically be considered wartime, and no one in charge is willing to give a very valuable and very tight teleportation quota to a group of merchants.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

In addition to the merchants who hold the wealth, more are the guards and stewards under the Chamber of Commerce, and even the most ordinary coachmen and porters, who are now blocked in the city of Connefila.

A huge invisible barrier covered Connefila City and a large area around it, and it wasn't that no one tried to leave directly, but none of them stopped it.

If you want to ask why Connefila City has a magical barrier that has never appeared before, just look at the constant swarming of elves on the south bank of the Tessa River not far to the south.

To the east of Connefila City, outside the magic barrier, a large number of elves who had lived on the north bank of the Tessa River had already come around, and a team of human mages were negotiating with a few elven mages across the magic barrier.

In this case, almost everyone thought of the very small but possible possibility of an elven attack, and the few elves in Connefila City had already been controlled in advance.

No one wants to let those few unstable factors operate at will in such a situation.

……

The Tessa Bridge, located not far south of Connefila City, connects the two banks of the Tessa River, and is known as the "Tessa Bridge" on the human side, but on the elf side, it is called the "Coney Bridge".

At this moment, on the bridge, Kozmo, a veteran arcanist from one of the Seven Towers, Fenwick Tower, was looking at the elven mage who was less than five steps away from him with a wary expression.

For a senior arcanist to be treated so solemnly, naturally only an elven high mage whose power is comparable to that of a great arcanist.

However, the High Mage, who claimed to be the envoy of the crown king of Komanso, brought an order from the Council of Severton, and the order was also very outrageous, requiring him to gather as many elves as possible who had come to the city of Connefera, and provide them with basic shelter and food.

Naturally, Kozmo could not simply believe such an order, and he immediately contacted Severton with his companions, while he himself stood in the way of Tessa Bridge, even though he knew that doing so would not stop a High Mage from advancing.

But he did it anyway, fortunately the High Mage showed his intention to attack, and even took the initiative to restrain the swarming elves, otherwise, this place would have been chaotic a long time ago.

Just as Kozmo was wondering what the High Mage was here for, there was already a slight commotion among the elven refugees who had been blocked on the south bank.

"Patriarch Nairo, are you really sure that the one on the bridge is a high mage?"

"I'm pretty sure, I've been to Comansol before, and I've seen a statue of that person in a square, dressed and looked exactly the same, I won't be mistaken!"

"Well, what did a High Mage stop us for? You say you're going to settle our escape? Or do you want to scavenge for the wealth we've been accumulating over the years? ”

As soon as these words came out, many elves immediately became agitated, no matter which possibility was not acceptable to them, but their current behavior could meet these two possibilities.

"Why don't we go back?" An elf dressed as a civilian said weakly.

His words immediately drew the eyes of the other elves as if they were looking at fools, and one of his companions immediately pulled him and explained in a low voice, "You have already escaped, do you still want to go back and be made into statues by those terrible creatures?" ”

At the end of the day, the surrounding elves shuddered, and they didn't even dare to mention Drow's name, only using some referential words, as if saying that name would lead to the pursuit of that terrible creature.

As for the statues, there are not many elves who have seen them with their own eyes, but almost all the elves who have fled here know that Drow does not simply kill, they will make the captives who are still alive into statues that cannot move, but can feel the pain all the time.

There are a few elves who have seen this painful statue with their own eyes, and every time they mention the statue, they lose their spirits, as if they have seen something extremely terrible.

Panic is going to spread, and few of the elves who can come here want to go back and face Drow.

……

And just as the elven refugees were discussing whether to sneak into the mountains first, and then flee into the human world, a strange change suddenly appeared on the bridge not far away.

It was like a photoelectric explosion suddenly, and a small dot suddenly appeared in the space, and then gradually expanded, forming a slightly hazy huge mirror, and the opposite scene could be vaguely seen.

Immediately after that, a figure came out of the mirror, and when he saw the person, Kozmo immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly saluted, "Lord Harris!" ”

The person who came was none other than the current head of the Fenwick Tower, the Grand Arcanist Harris, who was also Kozmo's direct superior.

When Harris was still at the other end of the portal, he noticed the elven mage standing on the Tessa Bridge, and as soon as he came over, he took the initiative to say hello, "Your Excellency Suveris, I didn't expect you to come here in person this time!" ”

Suveris was a close confidant of the crown king of Komanso, and as a high mage, he was often ordered to travel from place to place, and he was not once or twice in and out of Netheril, and Harris was familiar with him.

Seeing that Nesshrel had sent a Grand Arcanist, Suveris softened his attitude, "The King is very concerned about the safety of his people, so he has specially asked me to come and fetch them, and if Drow comes after him, he can easily solve it." ”

"I see!"

Harris was noncommittal about this reason, if he really cared so much about the safety of his people, he would not let Drow break through the defense, he didn't believe that Comanso really had nothing to do with Drow, and had to wait until the surrounding countries came to the point of supporting him.

However, he didn't care about these little things, he only came to prevent the other party from snooping on the magic barrier of Connefila City, although the original roots of this guardian barrier can be traced back to elven magic, but it also contains the wisdom of the Chromaether.

Although Harris himself was inclined to cooperate with the elves in friendly cooperation, he still had basic vigilance, and seeing that Suveris had no intention of continuing the conversation, he instructed Kozmo, "Open the barrier and let the people of Comantor enter the city to rest." ”

"Yes."

The Kozmo didn't go back, but sent back a message, and a moment later, the barrier vanished.
