Papan City is an important secondary city located in the south-central part of the Torm Federation.

The local administrative divisions of the Torm Federation are quite special, and the cities are generally governed by a large local merchant group or a council composed of several large merchant groups, and their private army and hired mercenary groups are responsible for maintaining law and order in the territory. Such a political system that protects the interests of the merchant group will inevitably arouse opposition from the lower classes, but it has been implemented in this country favored by the goddess of commerce.

The same is true of the city of Papan. The largest merchant group of the Matro family in the region had an absolute advantage, and was the rightful owner of the territory of Papan City. After hundreds of years of development, the power of the inflated family has been deeply entrenched here, and it has been involved in almost all the fields of craftsmanship and commerce, and the distribution of power can be called intertwined.

Jayne is one of the sons of the Matrow family, which sounds great, but the Matrow family has dozens of sons-in-law, so he occasionally needs to come out and do some "small business" that can provide some extra income. Occasionally "checking" the elves of the squad passing through the territory is one of his favorite hobbies. After all, the price of a good elf slave girl on the black market was enough for him to squander for a few months, and he personally had this need.

He squinted, looked at the elf girl standing across from him, and subconsciously licked his lips. I didn't expect to encounter such a superb thing this time, and it was beautiful and incomprehensible.

"How is it, have you thought about it?" Seeing that the mercenary he brought had completely blocked the other party's retreat, he asked with a sneer.

"Sorry, we're not on the way. The human man next to the elf girl replied in a cold voice.

"Good, good. Jayne glanced at the young human man, dressed as a magician. His face was pale, and his eyes took on a strange violet hue. It looks like a magician, but it would be nice to have a beginner level, Jayne thought disdainfully. Pretending to be a magician is also one of the pickling tricks that young boys like very much in the Torm Federation, and the kid on the other side should be the same.

"Do it neatly, don't hurt these little beauties. He glanced at Allegri and whispered to the mercenary warrior next to him, "As for this man, just deal with it." ”

The mercenary leader nodded, it wasn't once or twice that they had followed Jayne to do this kind of work. Although the elves are generally strong, the huge advantage in numbers is enough to make it difficult for the elves to give full play to their light characteristics in such a narrow encirclement. With the power of the Matro family in Papan, it was easy to cover up all traces after the fact, and they had no fear of revenge from the elves. The risk is so low. The harvest is so huge, it's a good business.

"Boy, your mouth is quite hard," the burly warrior drew his heavy sword, glanced at Allegri, and shouted command, "Prepare for battle!"

"Do you dare, do you know who we are?" exclaimed an elven sentry. The elves approached the carriage. Cautiously staring at the mercenary warriors around her, Evelola was still a little hesitant. Subconsciously he glanced at Allegri and asked, "Am I going to reveal my identity?"

"No, three seconds. Allegri stood still, holding his left hand flat.

"Three seconds?" The mercenary leader was slightly stunned, looked up and laughed. Waved his hand vigorously, "Enter—"

The original "attack" suddenly turned into a scream, and Jayne, who had already dodged dozens of steps, turned back in shock, and the bright fire rushed directly into his pupils.

Where the mercenary leader was, there was only a humanoid torch left. With a flick of his fingers, Allegri spewed out a pillar of blazing ground fire from beneath his feet, burning him to a char in a matter of seconds, leaving only a scream that echoed.

"Yes...... High-level spells, 'Pillar of Earthfire'?" Jayne's eyes froze, and he said in a trembling voice.

"No," Allegri sneered and shook his head, "It's a high-level spell, 'Earth Fire Dragon Burst'. ”

He flicked his fingers again, and one after another "pillars of earth fire" erupted with him as the center of the circle, like one demon firework after another, and the screams around him were endless, but in an instant, a small half of the mercenary soldiers had been swallowed by the pillar of fire, and the mercenary group was in an uproar, and suddenly there was a riot. The elves, whose faces changed slightly, also subconsciously moved back, and the surrounding fields became a burning purgatory in an instant, and only Allegri was left indifferent in the skyrocketing fire.

"Run!" Jayne screamed in disbelief, stumbling backwards and fleeing.

"Let's go?" Allegri snorted, and the "pillar of fire" exploded with a bang, and even if a spark was tainted with a spark on the mercenary warriors who wanted to escape, it would burn into a piece in an instant, and the smell of meat and burnt paste filled the flames and smoke, and the carriage looked like a new barbecue stall had opened around it.

Under Allegri's special care, Jayne felt his body pause, several flame tentacles wrapped around him, and one staggered and fell to the ground.

He endured the pain, gritted his teeth, took out an arrow from his arms, and threw it into the sky with his backhand.

"Huh?" Allegri frowned as he watched the arrow fly into the sky with a loud bang and spray out, forming a strange fireworks pattern in the sky. I wanted to wipe them all out here, but I didn't expect the news to leak out in the end. He reached out and pointed his index finger at the struggling Jayne in the distance, making an aiming gesture.

"Wait—" As soon as Evelora wanted to stop it, she saw the body of a young man in a fancy costume in the distance, and his head completely exploded, and the scene was extremely tragic.

"I still can't condense the rays...... Allegri shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked back, leaving only a dozen mercenaries who had escaped the catastrophe standing in the distance in a bit of a daze, fleeing or staying.

"Let's go, what are you waiting for?" The surrounding elves, including Eveola, all looked at Allegri walking in the flames with a shocked gaze, and he couldn't help but frown and snort, "Don't waste time!"

"Let's go!" Evelola finally reacted, taking a deep breath and calling out to her.

The elven sentries hurriedly pulled back the panicked horses and drove the carriage over, avoiding the evil mage from the beginning to the end.

Allegri shook his head indifferently, the elf's hypocrisy was recognized by the mainland.

The team resumed its march and quickly left the scene of the crime, speeding south.

"You really shouldn't have killed him," Evelora said helplessly, getting into the carriage, "like the family merchant group of the Torm Federation, they attach great importance to family members, and if you kill him like this, it will be regarded as a provocation to the entire family." ”

"So what?" Allegri said casually, leaning his head back against the wall of the carriage, his eyes closed to regain his magic.

"They are the heroes who have ruled this place for hundreds of years, and they will never swallow this breath, and they will hunt us down endlessly. Otherwise, their reputation will be tarnished, and the other merchants under their rule will try to challenge their dominance," Evelora explained, "You are a great magician, but under the lure of money, there will be an endless number of mercenaries involved in the hunt for us. ”

"Oh, do you want to get a taste of what it's like to be an elven slave girl, Miss Evelola?" Allegri asked faintly.

"You-" Evelola shook her head and snapped, "Of course I don't. ”

"Then why didn't you declare your identity, I don't think they would want to anger the Elven Kingdom, right?" Allegri asked, opening his eyes and staring at Evelola.

"First of all, they won't necessarily believe it, because I don't have the credentials to prove my identity," Evelora hesitated for a moment and said vaguely, "Second, the Elven Kingdom is not monolithic, and even in Thorm, if I don't have the protective power to match my identity, I will encounter greater danger. ”

"So, shouldn't you thank me?" Allegri teased.

"Yes......" Evelola was stunned, her tone softened, and she lowered her head and whispered, "You're right, I really should thank you." ”

"Actually, there is no need for this," Evelora relented, but Allegri didn't care too much, he pointed to Illo, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know how much more time Ilo can last, but if anyone stands in our way, it is my enemy." ”

"I know," Evelora nodded, took a deep breath, and opened the curtains, "go full speed ahead, and get past the checkpoint." If there is any trail of pursuers behind you, notify me immediately. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. The elven sentry outside the window replied in a clear voice.

"I'll also reply to the force. Evelora nodded at Allegri across from her and closed her eyes. The amount of power she expended in the Misty Swamp was even more powerful than Allegri's, and the recovery of her mana was much more difficult and complicated, unlike Allegri, who only needed to meditate to quickly recover her mana.

Silence returned to the carriage.

It was midday when Jayne was obstructed, and then it was unobstructed all afternoon until the sun had begun to set in the west and the light had dimmed.

"Your Highness, there is a team catching up behind, probably four or five kilometers away. Suddenly there was a soft knock outside the window, and the voice of the elven sentry was heard. The elves have far more vision than humans, and they can clearly see the attacking enemy at this distance.

Allegri opened his eyes and found that the elven girl was leaning against the cushion, already asleep, her nose fluttering and quite sweet.

He straightened up, lifted the curtain and stuck his head out and asked, "How many people?"

"Many, about two hundred people, mainly warriors. An elven sentry who was close to him gave him a frightened look, then looked back carefully before replying.

"I got it. Allegri simply got out of the carriage and sat down next to the coachman, and the elf who was driving the carriage shifted a little nervously. Allegri glanced at her and commanded, "Alert me when you approach us." ”

He closed his eyes, and then opened them again, a faint fiery red glow in his violet eyes.

The lively flame elemental fluctuated, swirling around him, singing with joy. (To be continued......)
