246. Return to the Barrier Village
Walking back to the camp, Roy found Instructor Gru sitting in front of the campfire, probably hearing footsteps, Instructor Gru turned his head and asked Roy with a smile:
"Your two friends are gone?"
At night, the cold wind blows the bonfire.
The flames were shaking as if they could be extinguished at any moment, and the charcoal fire in the fire glowed softly orange.
Instructor Gru's words startled Roy.
said that he would keep it secret for them, but he didn't expect the secret to be revealed that night.
"Instructor Gru, you...... Know them? ”
Instructor Gru plucked his ears with his fingers, and said a little speechlessly: "You are talking so loudly outside the tent, and you have to invite the two of them to drink fruit tea, and I haven't fallen asleep, what's so strange to hear your conversation?" ”
Roy sat down in front of Instructor Gru with some embarrassment.
Sitting here, even if you have a blanket on your body, it won't be long before your body will be frozen by the cold wind.
Facing the campfire, it feels warm, but the back is cold.
Roy whispered to Instructor Gru:
"The two of them are half-blood elf animal trainers, and I promised them that I wouldn't tell their secrets."
Seeing Roy's pleading look, Instructor Gru was not ready to embarrass him anymore, and said to Roy with a smile:
"Alright, I'll keep it a secret for you."
He's usually used to always being serious, so he doesn't look so good when he laughs.
Roy glanced at the tent again, and casually asked Instructor Gru:
"Instructor Gru, do you know why the Silver Moon Elves hate animal tamers?"
Instructor Gru's face returned to its original appearance, and he threw a piece of pine wood into the fire, then corrected Roy:
"First of all, not all Silver Moon Elves hate Elven Beast Tamers, at least I don't."
The firewood smashed into the campfire, and the flying sparks were blown up by the wind and disappeared into the wind in an instant.
Roy was still thinking about the two griffons, which looked about the size of a bison, and meekly put on their saddles.
In fact, on the side of the Silver Moon Elf, Roy has also seen the silver Pegasus with wings, but because it is a horse, even if it has angelic white wings, he will not be too surprised.
But the griffin is different, except for its wings and tail, it is completely a lion.
Now it's a mount, and it can fly......
At this time, Roy heard Instructor Gru say:
"Speaking of which, the profession of beast tamer is a bard when he traveled around the Roland continent, in the northern savage swamp of the Etia Alliance Kingdom, he learned from the lizard tribe, the lizard tribe can domesticate the monsters in the swamp for them to drive, the bard thinks that the elves can actually domesticate the beasts, instead of killing too much when opening up the territory, so he spent several years becoming an animal trainer and brought his skills back to the elf continent."
"However, things are not as simple as he thinks."
"On the Elven Continent, the Silver Moon Elves have the ability to communicate with their hearts, and the purest hearts can gain the favor of unicorns and become the most powerful unicorn legion knights, and they can almost be recognized by Silver Pegasus and become Silver Pegasus warriors, which is the most powerful legion in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, and it is also the pride of the Silver Moon Elves."
"Therefore, many Silver Moon Elves reject the beast tamer, thinking that the beast tamer does not belong to the elf inheritance, but a means for the savage race to enslave the beast, and the Silver Moon Elf does not accept the profession of beast trainer, but it spreads well among the half-blood elves The existence of the beast tamer has made the Silver Pegasus Legion a little threatened."
"Since then, the half-blood elves have been exiled to various planes, and then the beast tamers have been ostracized and suppressed by various forces until they have safely disappeared from everyone's sight."
"Until now, there are still two schools of thought in the Elven Academy arguing about this."
“……”
No wonder these beast trainers live in some remote corners, living a paradise-like life, it turns out that they have been excluded by the mainstream society of the Elven Continent, and there are even many Silver Moon Elves who are discriminated against and oppressed, and they live very the Elven Continent.
After coming to the Partington plane, there may also be an unbearable experience.
Now, they would hide on the south side of the Barrier Mountains......
It can be seen that these two young half-blood elves have a great opinion of the silver moon elves and are also very wary.
As the two of them talked, it was almost dawn.
Instructor Nora got out of the tent, yawned, put his leather armor on his body, and when he saw that Gru and Roy were not yet asleep, he said to both of them:
"Why didn't you two sleep? Take advantage of the fact that you can catch up on it now. ”
"I'm going to leave the pine forest before noon and go through the southerly trail to the last camping site to rest!"
Instructor Nora turned and said to Guide Marjery, who had just climbed out of the tent.
"Okay, then I'll sleep a little longer." Instructor Gru turned and slipped into the tent.
Roy also ran back to his tent, although he was not too sleepy, but the thought of crossing the southerly trail at noon made Roy decide that it would be better to rest.
By the time Roy climbed out of the tent, only his and Instructor Gru's tents were left in the camp.
Fortunately, he didn't have any luggage, but with the help of Sabrina, he hurriedly dismantled the tent and put it in his magic pocket, ate a little elf biscuits, drank a cup of hot water, and set off with the adventure group and returned to the fortress village.
……
This time through the southerly trail, it seems much easier to walk.
Because of the experience of dealing with ghost-faced bats, and sufficient preparations, and it was a leeward walk, and the wind was blown forward along the way.
Instructor Nora decided to leave a safety rope on the Southwind Trail, and the rearmost members didn't need to pull out the hammer, and walked much faster in the Southwind Trail.
I don't know why, this time the ghost-faced bat didn't fly out.
Except for the strong winds that can blow people away, there are no other dangers in the canyon.
The adventure group walked out of the southerly trail without any problems.
After avoiding the wind outlet, the cold wind suddenly disappeared, and Roy couldn't help but look back at the southerly wind path, the mountain peak on the left side of the canyon seemed to tremble twice, and then countless ghost-faced bats flew in the wind.
However, no matter how these ghost-faced bats fly, they have nothing to do with the adventure group.
Re-entering the rugged cliff road, Royton had a headache, standing on the cliffside stone road, where it was very troublesome to even turn around, one hand always had to hold on to the rope, and the other was to be on the lookout for griffons hovering in the sky.
Roy now realized that griffons would not easily rush into the Southerly Trail because the strong winds in the canyon would blow them away, and that the griffons would not enter the pine forest at Pass Three, where a black spider was entrenched.
But the mountain road on this side of the cliff is different, and if it is discovered by the griffins, it can become very troublesome.
So everyone still wore the camouflage cloaks given to everyone by Marjery's guide, and then walked cautiously on the cliff face.
There is only one resting place for each stretch of the road, so once you get to the rest area, everyone will camp even if it's not dark yet.
On the way back to the barrier village, the members of the adventure group were in high spirits, after all, it was the adventure group that successfully reached the third pass, although they could not climb the griffin barrier mountain range, but they could see the scenery on the other side of the mountain.
On the other side of the mountain, there are no rolling mountains, there is still a jungle, and there is a blue sea in the distance......
With this rich experience, it is enough to add a beautiful line of text to each member's resume.
The return journey also took almost a week.
When everyone stepped out of the steep mountain wall and stepped on the gravel that could slide down at any moment, all the members cheered.
Immediately after that, they had to rely on ropes to slide down the cliffs more than 40 meters high, walk for most of the day on the slopes overgrown with wild grass and bushes, and burrow into the sparse woodland, which was completely out of the sight of the griffins.
Those griffon leathers were worthless in the market, and Instructor Nora didn't want to provoke them unless they had to.
"Nora, go back this way, we can go and find the Glass Beast again, maybe if we're lucky, we can meet a ......"
Scarlett Mage walked through the group, constantly telling Instructor Nora about the benefits of hunting Glazed Beasts.
"Got it, back to Barrier Village, I'll study how to get back to Paddestow City, and if you can still enter the territory of the Glass Beast along the way, we'll try it!"
Instructor Nora agreed to Scarlett's request.
When they came, because they wanted to protect the half-blood elf hunters who had migrated south, the adventure group gave up a lot of hunting plans.
When you go back, you naturally want to revisit the places you missed.
In fact, Roy was also a little disappointed, he couldn't find the Flower of Light along the way, and he didn't know if he had almost gone to the source of the river below the barrier village......
Guide Majeri led the group to the summit of the mountain range on the south side of the Col of Barrier Village, and at the foot of the Barrier Village was hidden in the jungle.
It's just that there seems to be some special circumstances in the barrier village at this time, and black smoke rushes into the sky from the village, as if something has been burned.
There are also quite a few griffons wandering the sky......
"I see a lot of treehouses burning, let's go back soon, maybe we can help......"
Instructor Eleanor jumped down from a large tree high above and shouted to Instructor Nora.
Instructor Nora hurriedly asked Marjery's guide to lead the way, and everyone hurriedly ran towards the barrier village.
When they reached the edge of the village, they discovered that a legion of Silver Moon Elves had surrounded the walled village, and these elven warriors had blocked the hundreds of half-blood elven hunters and drove them towards the village square.
Many of the trees in the village were on fire, and some were completely reduced to ashes.
Many of the half-blood elven hunters were wounded, and they couldn't resist the onslaught of the elven warriors, so they were forced to gather towards the square, and the village was filled with cries and shouts......
