281. Negotiating Mission

Roy stayed in a hotel in Padstow City with the adventuring party for two days, because Roy had just been promoted to a priest and lacked control over his own power, so in the past two days, Instructor Nora conducted a series of targeted exercises on Roy, basically so that Roy could have a clear understanding of himself.

For the past two days, every morning Roy would be pulled out of bed by Instructor Nora and run long distances around the forest path under the treehouse in the misty morning mist.

He squeezed Roy's physical strength to the limit, only to stop and walk slowly, and then feel the power growing in his body.

Every morning, Sabrina would also run with Roy.

When Roy reached his fitness limit, Sabrina only sweated slightly on her forehead and gasped slightly......

The three of them walked through the glade to an open field.

Originally, there should have been a large number of treehouses here, but they were basically inhabited by some half-blood elves, and after these half-blood elves left, the treehouses were completely deserted, and the glade was empty, and there was not a single elf in sight.

Instructor Nora told Roy to walk slowly around the field until he was fully regained.

Then he beckoned Sabrina to the center of the open field, and she held a short sword and a round shield in her hand, and signaled to Sabrina to take the initiative.

Sabrina grasped the hilt of her sword with both hands, took a step forward, her body thrust forward two meters, and the heavy sword she picked up slashed at Instructor Nora with a sharp wind-breaking sound......

Instructor Nora leaned sideways and smashed the small round shield in his hand into the side of the epee.

Sabrina, of course, would not let Instructor Nora smash the heavy sword away, flipping her wrist and letting the heavy sword flip sideways and sweep towards Instructor Nora's waist.

Instructor Nora hurriedly raised his short sword and blocked the epee......

The shield in her hand slammed down on Sabrina's face, but Sabrina seemed to have expected it and jerked back, avoiding a shield blow from Instructor Nora.

Every morning, Instructor Nora and Sabrina practice in this glade.

At the beginning, Sabrina was still a little unable to let go, and was almost forced to defend during sparring, and the epee was not suitable for defense, so it was full of loopholes, and was frequently broken by Nora's defenses.

Instructor Nora realized this and offered Sabrina to attack......

Sabrina's offensive is a bit like the tide of the sea, always coming in wave after wave.

She will not crush her opponent at once, once she has the advantage, the offensive will be endless, and the phantom of the heavy sword will be pressed above her head like the Giant God Peak.

Instructor Nora struggled to open her heavy sword, her arm was a little sore, she stared at the heavy sword in Sabrina's hand and said:

"Very well, Sabrina, you have to keep it up like this. You're much better offensively than defensively. ”

Sabrina stuck her heavy sword in her hand into the ground and sat under the tree panting.

When Roy was almost recovered, Nora beckoned Roy, "Roy, come here, let me see if your hand-to-hand combat has improved!" ”

Roy knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he quickly stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and held a wooden stick in his hand.

Coming to the opposite side of Instructor Nora, he didn't want to waste time, raised the wooden stick in his hand, took a half step forward, and smashed it head-on towards Instructor Nora.

Nora raised her shield to block, and the stick in her hand stabbed Roy in the ribs, painful and numb......

Roy gasped in pain.

"When attacking, you must also pay attention to the enemy's counterattack......"

Instructor Nora fought against Roy, and it was much easier.

She constantly fends off Roy's attacks and points out the shortcomings in his moves.

And Roy has a wooden club in one hand and a shield in the other, and slowly learns according to the basic movements given to him by Instructor Nora, his combat talent is much worse than Sabrina's, his physical fitness is okay, but his movements are very stiff, at least in the eyes of Instructor Nora.

Instructor Nora and Moira have different fighting styles, and Moira usually relies on agility and excellent balance, completely wandering around Roy's body, flashing into his blind spot to attack.

Instructor Nora stood opposite Roy, and whenever Roy swung his stick, she would find Roy's flaws and quickly fight back.

Roy will then be told the correct way to defend himself......

In this way, Roy spent two painful and fulfilling days at his hotel in the city of Padustow.

During these two days, Woods left the hotel very early each day and did not return until the evening.

He tried to find the mark left by the elders in the city of Padstow, but it took him two days to find a vague symbol behind the bench on the side of the fountain square, which looked like it had been left a long time ago.

Back at the inn, Woods was in a somewhat depressed mood.

"Don't worry, your uncle must have gone to the Griffon Barrier Mountains......" Roy said as he sat down next to Woods.

Woods whispered, "My uncle has a bit of a straightforward personality, and I'm just a little worried about him." ”

……

In the past two days, elven officers from the Seventeenth Legion have come to visit Miss Christine at the hotel.

Some of these young officers were members of the Swinburn family, most of them were Miss Christine's cousins, and some of them were young elven nobles from Castletown, and they heard that Miss Christine had come to Padestor and came to catch up.

As the youngest daughter of the Earl of Swinburn, Miss Christine had no shortage of suitors in the young aristocratic circles of Castletown.

This annoyed Miss Christine a little, but there was no way to refuse this kind of socialization, otherwise it would be absolutely difficult to take off the label of 'arrogant and rude'......

Fortunately, the negotiating team from Buenos City finally arrived in Padsto.

……

That afternoon, Instructor Nora and the members of the Adventure Party were taken to the negotiator's temporary residence, a large treehouse that had been the property of the Silvermoon Elf nobleman, who had moved his family to Tobermory three weeks earlier, and exchanged the territory and property for a portal pass.

The castle-like wooden building, built on the canopy, is now nominally the property of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion.

Seventy or eighty meters tall and covered with an umbrella-like canopy resembling a verdant peak, this castle-like treehouse is tucked away in the canopy, with only a few terraces and windows peeking out from the dense foliage.

A group of elven warriors stood guard at the door of the treehouse, and Instructor Nora handed the letter of appointment to one of the warrior captains.

The Warrior Captain asks an Elven Warrior to report inside.

It didn't take long for a young elven officer to descend the stairs, but his silver armor was a little different from the standard armor of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion, with three ears of wheat symbolizing a good harvest, a misty jungle, and a single horn decorated with a spiral pattern on his chest badge.

He first glanced at the name on the letter of appointment before he said to everyone: "Good afternoon, everyone, which one is the head of Nora?" ”

Instructor Nora stepped forward and said to the elven officer, "I am Nora. ”

"I'm Terrence, the captain of the escort team of this negotiation team, after you enter the negotiation team, you need to be temporarily incorporated into the escort team and accept the transfer of the escort team, is there any problem?"

Captain Terrence speaks very clearly in Elven language, but it is very slow, and it is not the accent of Castletown.

"All nine members of the Castletown Elven Academy Adventure Team are here, ready to be dispatched by the Negotiation Escort at any time." Instructor Nora said.

Captain Terrence nodded, his gaze brushing over each member's face, and said to everyone:

"Come with me, the room has been arranged for you, I thought you would be here in the morning......"

Roy followed Captain Terrence into the castle-like treehouse, only to find that the treehouse was divided into several separate areas on the tree, connected by beautiful wooden staircases.

The place where the adventuring party lives is the lowest level of the entire treehouse complex, which is the residence of the elven warriors of the Guardian Team, and when there is no patrol mission, the members of the Guardian are not allowed to go to the treehouses above, and they are not allowed to go out at will in their free time.

There is no way, once you enter the negotiation team, this kind of thing is inevitable.

This is also the reason why Instructor Nora is reluctant to join the negotiation team, if it were not for the presence of Earl Swinburn, Instructor Nora would never have brought the adventure party to participate in such a thing.

When Captain Terrence left, Scarlett Magician lay down on a wicker chair in the room and complained to Instructor Nora:

"Nora, you shouldn't have agreed to this errand in the first place, but now it's all right...... Our two months of enjoyable vacation were all ruined! ”

"The slavers of Padstow are mixed in with the rebels, and once the leaders of the slave traders have a say in the rebels, it will probably be a disaster for the half-blood elf rebels, and what we need to do now is to get them all out......," Instructor Nora said to everyone.

"Nora is right, we have to find a way to get them out." Instructor Gru showed his attitude on the side.

Roy didn't pay attention to what the instructors were saying, he was looking at the palace built on a large tree, all the wooden planks were tightly fitted, the walls were beautifully carved, and the room was very comfortable, although it was simply furnished.

"This treehouse castle is beautiful......" Roy whispered to Woods as he looked out the window.

"What's this, when you have the opportunity to go to Darnassus in the future, you will see a city built on trees!" Woods responded.

"Woods, have you ever been to Darnassus?" Roy asked Woods curiously.

In fact, he had heard of the royal capital of the wood elves more than once, but it was a little hard to imagine, what kind of big tree could be big enough to build a city?

"Uh...... Not yet, I'll definitely check it out in my lifetime. Woods swore by it.

“……”

At dinner, Captain Terrence informed everyone that the negotiators would be leaving for the Griffon Barrier Mountains tomorrow morning, so that everyone could prepare in advance and get up early.

Only the elven warriors were dining in the restaurant, and as for the big names of the negotiating team, Roy didn't see any of them.
