Chapter 117: An Unattainable Dream

Compared to the material plane, many things in the fairy wilderness are extreme, especially the changes of the four seasons.

In spring, everything is revived, full of life, and the mist is kind.

In summer, it is full of vitality, thousands of flowers are in full bloom, and the rain is drenched.

In autumn, the trees are scattered, the fruits are abundant, and the autumn breeze is cool.

In winter, everything is killed, trees wither, and heavy snow covers the mountains.

It's late spring and early summer, with more rain and heavier fog.

Gavin and the young bronze dragon pounced, neither Lord Virginia nor General Strina were in Castle Springbud, nor even most of the Yaling army.

By the time they returned, it was three days later.

Whether it was from the tired demeanor or the lack of equipment, they had just gone through a fierce battle.

The Goblin Wastes isn't a paradise either, there are wars and enemies that are even stronger than the Gnoll Demon Priest.

"I'm sorry, Lord Gavin, for keeping you waiting, there was a little trouble on the border." Virginia is still spotless, not eating the fireworks of the world, but the tiredness between the eyebrows can't be concealed no matter what.

I don't know that this campaign has consumed too much energy from Virginia, so that she can't maintain the ability to inadvertently influence others.

It's Gavin whom, in recent times, has played a corresponding role in strengthening himself.

Last time, the feeling that everything was under the control of the other party did not appear, which made Gavin feel a lot more comfortable, at least he now feels that he is facing a living person, not an illusory goblin - then again, the other party itself is an elf.

This time, Virginia was a little taken aback, and couldn't help but re-examine the young people in front of her, there are not many people who can resist the erosion of spring.

Just like Autumn Wind Branney's passive skill Autumn Wind Protector, Spring Erosion is the passive skill of Spring Dawn, not that her strength is weakened by exhaustion, but that the young man in front of her has become more determined than last time.

"I always thought that the Fairy Wilderness was like a paradise in the upper plane, there was no fighting, but I didn't expect that this place was not a pure land." Gavin couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha......" Virginia seemed to have heard the best joke in the world, the laughter was getting louder and louder, and the slender waist swayed back and forth with the laughter, like a willow branch in the spring breeze, making Gavin can't help but worry about whether it will break.

This kind of laughter lasted for a while, making Gavin a little inexplicable, not laughing with it, not laughing at all, not knowing what the other party's laughter was.

"Sorry, sorry, just gaffe." Virginia forcibly restrained her demeanor, but the smile on her beautiful face couldn't hide it, "I didn't expect that Lord Gavin would have such an innocent side, not to mention that there is no Pure Land in the fairy wilderness, I am afraid that there is no Pure Land in the paradise of the upper plane, since wherever there is life, especially intelligent life, there will inevitably be a struggle, a struggle for survival, a struggle for interests, a struggle for love and hate, a pure land, I am afraid that it only exists in the dreams of good people." ”

Gavin couldn't help but be silent.

The words spoken by Lord Yaling, although a bit extreme, are full of insights into life.

A pure land without strife, just a distant dream.

The other party's laughter is more like a kind of dream-shattered, mocking laughter.

"It's just a dream, but we're going to fight for it, aren't we?" Virginia's smile faded, and some were just determined to be inside.

"That's right." Gavin nodded heavily, "Even if it's just a dream, we can't give it up ourselves, once we give up the dream, what's the difference between a person and the walking dead?" ”

"Lord Gavin, what is the matter with this visit?" Virginia shifted the conversation back to the point.

Gavin was slightly silent, originally he thought that the song and dance of the Shengping of Spring Bud Castle, except for the rock and ground side, there was occasional harassment, there was no other war, and it was not difficult to ask for a few powerful Yaling warriors from the other party as bodyguards in the way of exchanging interests.

Now it seems that he has made things simpler.

But he came here, and he couldn't shrink back before he could speak, this was not his style of acting, he stubbornly said honestly: "Just like the lord just said, as long as there is intelligent life, there will be strife, I am in the rockland, the tribe I lead, now I have some achievements, and it is remembered by other evil forces, an evil merchant organization called the Santarin Society, sent someone to threaten me, let me join them, once I disobey their demands, they will inevitably send assassins......"

"Santarin?" Virginie *** couldn't help but interrupt Gavin's words.

"You've also heard of the Santarim Society?" This time, it was Gavin's turn to be surprised, although the Santarin Society is not small, it is mainly in Faerun, especially around the Moon Sea, I haven't heard that they also extend their claws into the fairy wilderness, at least in his previous life, he has not heard any rumors in this regard.

"Previously, the Gnolls who tried to pass through the curtain and harass the fairy wilderness were not the first batch, and before that, there was a goblin tribe led by the big goblins." Virginia explained with a cold face, "These two attacks are not accidental, according to the leaders of the big goblins captured last time, they were hired and instructed by the Santarin Society, this attack of the jackals, although they did not catch any useful mouths, I think, it is also related to this organization, how much do you know about this organization, it is better to listen to it." ”

As soon as he heard that the two sides had a common enemy, Gavin suddenly came to his senses and said: "This matter, 100% of it is done by Santarin, this is their usual method, hiring monster tribes, attacking the enemies they want to destroy, our tribe, has entered their mercenary list."

They have always wanted to expand the trade routes here, and they will not let go of any business opportunities, in their eyes, the fairy wilderness is a great treasure, and everything here is excellent goods, including Yaling and other forest creatures. ”

"You mean, this organization is still in the slave business?" Virginia's face was even more gloomy, and the free Yaling hated any act of servitude.

And the beauty and uniqueness of Yaling and other forest creatures often make them the playthings of other humanoid creatures, and it is not uncommon for them to be in the physical plane.

"Not only do they do it, but they are also one of the main businesses, they hire monster communities to wage war, and the looted goods, including captives, will be handed over to the merchants under their command for sale......" Gavin noticed that something was wrong with Virginia's expression, and his mind couldn't help but move, "Could it be that there are Yaling people in Spring Bud Castle, and unfortunately they have been captured?" ”

Virginia nodded solemnly and said: "It's not captured, but abducted, this was half a year ago, four Yaling went to the other side of the curtain to play, and never came back, I sent Strina to chase after them, but it was a step too late, I only know that they fell into the hands of the merchants of the Santarin Society." ”

It's good to have desires, Gavin is afraid of Yaling's previous appearance, self-sufficient, and desireless, so it's really hard for him to start, and now he has finally caught a breakthrough.

The last time the Lord of Virginia didn't say anything, he probably didn't worry about his origin, and he was afraid that he was a spy of the Santarin Society.

I didn't expect that this time, I would take the initiative to come to the door because of the matter of the Santarin Society.

Gavin patted his chest and said, "I'm outside the rocks, there are a lot of human merchant friends, I will let them pay attention to this information, especially the Santarin Society, once there is news, I will inform the lord as soon as possible." ”

"Then please Lord Gavin, if you can rescue my people, I will definitely thank you again." Virginia solemnly promised.

"In my life, what I hate the most is the slave trade, not to mention that we are friends, even if we have no relationship, if we do, I will definitely not turn a blind eye." Gavin gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I'm here for a day, the slave business of the Santarin Society won't be able to succeed here." ”

"Based on this alone, I can't sit idly by and watch the safety of the lord and be threatened, in the next period of time, I will let Strina follow the lord and take care of your personal safety, she is the most suitable person." Virginia frowned slightly, "It's just that Strina was sent by me to carry out other tasks, and it stands to reason that she should have come back sooner." ”

"Is there any trouble on General Strelna's side, and I take the liberty to ask, what trouble did the general go to solve?" Gavin asked.

"A Picker village has gone missing, Strina went to check it out, and no matter what trouble there is, she should come back and report it." Virginia didn't shy away from it.

"Is there a guide? If we can, we can go and investigate, maybe General Strina is stumbling and can't come back to report the news. Gavin volunteered.

His dependence is, of course, Evansa.

With the young dragon here, you can attack when you advance, you can defend when you retreat, and your hands and feet can naturally be released.

This is rare, and the opportunity to brush up on goodwill is naturally to be grasped.

Virginia subconsciously glanced at Evanza, who was stuffing various fruits into her mouth, nodded and said: "The guide does have it, but this matter has a certain risk, and it must not be easy for Strina to solve it with the personal guards." ”

"Your Excellency, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who is reckless, once there is danger, I will definitely come back for help as soon as possible." Gavin paved his back road ahead of time, "We are mainly aerial reconnaissance. ”

"Then please lord of it." The Virginia lord didn't shirk anymore, because Evantha did have air superiority that they didn't have, "Nicole. ”

A Pickerel, fluttering with butterfly wings, flew in, "Your Excellency, you look for me." ”

"Nicole is a resident of the village that Strina has gone to, and she is very familiar with the situation there." The Lord of Virginia explained to both sides, "Nicole, you are responsible for bringing these two adults to your village to support Strelina, and your main task is to scout and bring back the situation over there. ”

"I've seen two adults." Peak, named Nicole, flew over and saluted Gavin, "Thank you two adults for reaching out, whether it is successful or not, Nectar Village will remember the kindness of the two adults." ”

"Miss Nicole, you're welcome, we're acquaintances." Gavin recognized at a glance that the Picker in front of him was the one who gave him Howard's convenience bag last time, but the petal costume turned into a glowing cloth with brilliant brilliance, a well-woven dress, and her colorful butterfly wings, reflecting each other, beautiful as a Barbie doll.

"Adults can tell us?" Nicole asked curiously, with her big beautiful eyes.

Not to mention ordinary people, even if it is a forest race like Yaling, if they don't get along day and night, it will not be easy for them to separate a few Pikjing who are standing together.

"My ability to remember people is okay, I can remember it for a long time after taking a face-to-face photo, not to mention, a unique little beauty like Miss Nicole, it's hard to remember it." Gavin is not a pure compliment, Nicole is five or six times smaller than humans, but aesthetically, it is completely humanoid, full of exotic style.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
