After the destruction of Adamasil, the entire High Elf camp was completely damaged, and the most powerful Luna believer among the lower elves quickly regrouped and established a new elven kingdom in the southeast of the elven homeland.

However, due to the difference in beliefs, the initial enemies of the elven kingdom came from within the elves, the believers of the goddess of the night and the goddess of the stars. The powerful elven clan was quickly lost in the internal strife. The human beings, who were weaker in strength, gradually grew, but the latecomers took over and became the new masters of the continent.

Later, the remnants of the followers of the goddess of the stars moved eastward to form the tribe of highland elves. The followers of the Goddess of the Night were even more damaged and escaped into the Underworld, the precursor of the Dark Elves. The followers of the moon god maintain the glory of the elven kingdom in the southwest of the continent. They see themselves as the rightful heirs of the Empire, and are hostile to both humans and the other two elves, and several powerful forces are constantly at war.

Today, the elven race that once ruled the entire continent has long since lost its former grandeur, and even the lowland elf kingdom has been continuously compressed, and the last can only retreat to the Moon Song Forest, unable to meddle in the situation of the continent anymore, and can only maintain the arrogance they think they think, or as they say, "out of the world".

Torm Federation.

"This is my first time in the Torm Federation," Allegri whispered, looking out the window, "it's hard to imagine that such a stable country doesn't have any standing army. ”

"Thorm's mercenaries are particularly developed, and the combat effectiveness of the private armies and large mercenary groups of some large merchant groups is not inferior to the elite troops of other countries at all," Evelola explained, "I remember that you are also the head of the mercenary group, and you can come here to develop your business." ”

"Hmm," Allegri said, glancing at a group of mercenaries who had slapped their horses away from the carriage. nodded, "But Thorm's development to this day should also have something to do with its geographical location, right?"

"That's inevitable, the only neighbors on the land of the Torm Federation are our Elven Kingdom and the Buyada Empire, and to the north is the natural barrier misty swamp, which can almost be said to be safe. The elven girl said softly, "They can also communicate with the Aalborg Empire and the island of Thran across the sea, which is the most favorable condition for the development of commercial trade." ”

"Thran......" Allegri muttered, shaking his head, "but the Misty Swamp is no longer safe, and the Lord of Evil Spirits will most likely make a move on Tholm when he has recovered his life." ”

"I'll send a messenger to remind Thorm," Evelola nodded, "after all, we're all part of the neutral camp. ”

"Is there a connection within the neutral camp as well?" Allegri asked tentatively. "Like Thran?"

"Thran almost never interferes in continental affairs," Evelora pondered, "but occasionally they see their envoys, all powerful magicians. ”

"Hmm. Allegri nodded and said no more.

The wheels rolled across the flat post road, speeding south, and Allegri felt a sense of emptiness as he listened to the clattering of horses' hooves.

"Allegri. Evelola, who had been sitting quietly next to her, suddenly said, "I'm sorry. ”

"What?" Allegri frowned.

"I insisted on asking Illo to unleash the 'Thorn of Oblivion'. This is too much to ask. Evelora whispered.

"I'm afraid it's your subconscious mind doing tricks," Allegri said lightly, "In the consciousness of the lowland elves, you still regard humans and highland elves as inferior beings. That's why in the Tower of Magic you asked Illo to unleash the Thorn of Oblivion, and took it for granted that even if you took your life, it would be nothing. ”

Evelora opened her mouth, but didn't defend anything.

"It is said that the class system was first created by the Elven Empire. From the high elf nobles to the low-level elven commoners, to the lower commoners such as humans and dwarves, to the inhuman races such as ogres and orcs, the elven empire relies on this strict hierarchy to rule the huge empire. Now it seems that you really deserve to be the orthodox inheritance of the Elven Empire......" Allegri said in a flat tone. "It's just that I'm very strange, you were angry and wanted to raid the King of Evil Spirits, why didn't you bring that raid team with you?"

"This ......" Evelola was a little embarrassed, she lowered her head, and muttered, "I was scolded by you, although I left in a hurry, but I thought about it on the way, and I still didn't want them to go to death with me." ”

"You know it's a death-defying mission?" Allegri couldn't help but sneer.

"I ......," the elven girl took a breath and whispered in defense, "I was so worried about the destructive power of the Demon King, and I was really determined to delay him even if I risked my own life." ”

When she said this, Allegri was embarrassed to say anything, so he could only change the subject, "So you still left the raiding party and went to die alone?"

"I'm just trying to use the Divine Array that has been set up to cause some trouble for the Demon King and delay the progress of the rebuilding of the Soul Temple," Evelola explained, "Now that the target has changed, it will be easier to expose the target if there are too many people." It's just that I didn't expect that the vigilance of the King of Evil Spirits was so high, that I couldn't even find a chance to escape. ”

Allegri sighed and glanced at the still unconscious half-elf next to him.

"I still want to thank you," Evelola followed his gaze and said with a little shame, "I thought I was going to die, and I was scared and regretful, but I didn't expect you to show up, I ...... It was a pleasure at the time. ”

"Don't thank me," Allegri shook his head, "it's Illofe who is coming, and I can't convince him, so I can only accompany him." ”

"Looking at your performance on the Magic Tower, I really thought I had lost a friend like this. Evelora didn't care about Allegri's "accompaniment" at all, it was obvious that he was hard-mouthed.

"If Illo can be cured, we will still be good friends," Allegri said, leaning against the wall of the carriage and closing his eyes, "otherwise, everything will be said for another day." ”

"Don't worry, I'll do my best," Evelora soothed, "The fairy spring that gave birth to the 'Tree of Life' will certainly soothe the wounds on his soul as much as possible." ”

"Let's hope so," Allegri asked casually, taking a deep breath, "when will we arrive at the Moonsong Forest?"

"I have commanded them to travel by night without a pause, so that we may reach the edge of the kingdom in another day and night—"

The carriage came to a sudden halt.

Evelola's face suddenly became a little unnatural, and she had just sworn that there would be no pause, but before she could finish speaking, the carriage stopped.

"I'm going to go out and see. Evelora dropped a word and hurried out of the carriage.

Allegri nodded casually, closing his eyes and recuperating. For this kind of vignette, he was a little unimpressed. He expected that the carriage would soon be back in action.

But time passed, and there was a faint sound of argument outside, but the carriage showed no sign of moving. Allegri felt irritated in his heart, and finally stepped forward to open the curtains, and looked out.

A large group of well-armed mercenaries formed a dense encirclement around the carriage, most of them with their swords unsheathed and rather unscrupulous. Not far ahead, there was a faint sound of Evelola negotiating with the other party, but it didn't seem to loosen in the slightest.

He glanced worriedly at Illo, who was short of breath, and tried to suppress the anger in his heart, got out of the carriage, pulled an elven sentry by casually, and ordered, "You take care of the carriage." ”

“...... Be. The elven sentry hesitated for a moment, dodging Allegri's hand without a trace, but finally stood by the carriage and waited for it.

Allegri nodded, and took a few steps forward behind Evelola.

"There's a human still hiding in your carriage?" The leader of the mercenary group was a burly man, and next to him was a young man in fine clothes. When the guy dressed as a noble prince saw Allegri, he snorted coldly, "You can't produce valid identification at all, but you are carrying a large number of weapons, and I suspect that you will endanger the security of the Federation." ”

"What's going on?" Allegri asked in a low voice.

"I usually fly the Dragon Eagle, and I don't have any checkpoints, so how can I bring anything like identification," Evelola whispered back, "I suspect they're a little ill-intentioned." ”

"What do you want?" Allegri asked, suppressing his anxiety and looking up.

"You must follow us to the city of Papan to be examined, and then if you can prove your identity, you can leave. The young man in Chinese costume smiled and pointed to a big city in the west, which could be seen faintly.

Allegri looked carefully, this group of mercenaries didn't pay attention to him at all, his eyes were on Evelola and those slender elven sentinels, he pondered for a moment, and couldn't help sneering, "I don't know who Your Excellency Lu Dao is, and even does he also work as a part-time slave catcher?"

Evelola's face changed, and the elven sentries behind her also came to their senses, and subconsciously clenched the short-horned bow in their hands.

"What do you mean by this, Your Excellency?" said the young man in Chinese costume in a cold voice, "Our merchant group controls Papan City, and it is our duty to inspect the teams that pass through our territory. ”

"When we get to the city, do we have any room for resistance? you are the rulers of Papan City, and it is not a matter of your word whether we have any identity or not?" retorted Ephlora.

"Miss, are you going to refuse?" The young man in Chinese clothes lowered his face coldly and beckoned, the mercenary warriors clenched the weapons in their hands, their number was more than ten times that of the elven sentries, and they looked aggressive, obviously it was not the first time to do this kind of business.

"The last chance is to choose to go to the city with us to be examined, or choose to resist and be arrested by us," the burly warrior next to the young man in Chinese costume also said viciously, "At that time, it was not just as simple as inspection. ”

"Sorry, we're not on the way. Before Evelora could reply, Allegri next to her had already gritted her teeth.

Evelora looked at him in confusion and took a step back, the first time she had heard Allegri speak in such a menacing tone. (To be continued......)
