Section 10 Elves

"What's that?" Ashrufat almost thought he was wrong at first. But at this time, the sea and the sky are colorful, and a white dot appears in the blue background, which is really conspicuous.

"It's finally here...... Ashrufat, it looks like we're getting closer to the realm of the elves. Cosbody was happy. "That's an elven ship. ”

The white dot expanded rapidly, and soon the shape of a ship appeared on the horizon. This is because the two ships are really close to each other face to face, and the speed is naturally twice as fast. But Ashruphat immediately sensed that something was wrong...... Since the ship he was on was taking advantage of the wind, shouldn't the elven ship be against the wind? If it was against the wind, it would be understandable to say that it was powered by oars, but the other party was also a sailboat.

But it seemed that the elven ship was faster than the ship under his feet.

"Carrie, what kind of magic is this?" he asked in his mind.

"No, master, it's just...... It's just a technique. Carrie replied. "Anyway, you understand it this way, their sails are schooners, so they can take advantage of incoming winds from multiple directions. ”

"What is this for?"

"Detailed details...... Well...... The principle behind it...... Your authority is insufficient, I can't tell you. Anyway, you just need to understand it this way. The advantage of sinker is that it can take advantage of a variety of incoming winds. ”

"Permission again...... You said that as long as there are techniques that already exist in this world, you can teach them to me. ”

"I can teach you how, but I can't teach you the principle. Carrie said with some grievances. "If we return to Sivania, I will be able to teach your people to build such ships. ”

Ashrufat's attention had been drawn to the elven ships. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but when he saw this ship, he instinctively thought it was a warship. The bow of the ship had a huge angle of attack, and on the hull, something strange could be seen - something that looked a bit like a ballista.

The ship's crew had already folded their sails and were ready to be inspected by the elven warship. Kosbodi had already told Ashrufat about it, so he wasn't surprised. Due to the cooperative attitude, the elven battleship did not show obvious hostility, and the two ships stopped at a short distance.

From this distance, Ashruphat could clearly see the soldiers on the elven battleship. As Kosbodi had said before, the elven soldiers on the ship were all dressed in silver gleaming metal armor. I couldn't tell what the texture of the armor was, but it was quite beautiful. None of the soldiers were wearing helmets and did not look like they were on high alert.

The armor obscured some of the elves' size, but even so, they were still very slender. Cosbodi was right. Eshurufat's stature is of the lean category among humans (at least not stout), but compared to the elves, he is too strong.

While Ashrufat was scrutinizing the other side, Kosbodi had already ordered the rope ladder to be lowered. A few minutes later, an elf climbed up the rope ladder. It was a young elf who jumped onto the deck with agility that humans could hardly match. The elf was wearing not armor, but a white robe. He had long blond hair that seemed to shine and a face that was overly beautiful for humans. He was tall and well-proportioned, a full half a head taller than Cosbodi.

"Dear Deenethor......" the elf frowned, and the greedy and shameless human merchant tried to get closer to him again. He had known this human for quite some time, and this human had never noticed the disgust in his expression. Actually, it's not appropriate to say that, because he hates all humans. Every human being is the same, greedy, dirty (but likes to decorate themselves with a lot of flashy but messy things), stupid, savage.

"Mr. Cosbodi. The young elf finally suppressed the nauseous urge in his heart. "Sure enough, it's you. I remember that Prince Bellan had already informed you last time that we had to suspend our trade agreement due to military necessity, so please forgive me. ”

He said in human language. Human language is as vulgar and barbaric as humans, and he sincerely feels the urge to gargle after he speaks.

"But...... We had an agreement. You can't end the ...... unilaterally like this."

"I want to tell you that this matter is not under the control of Prince Bellan. The orders came from a higher position, so although the prince wanted to keep his promise, there was really no way to do it. Please turn around and go back, so that we can avoid a dilemma for both of us. Believe me, His Royal Highness will remember this and will compensate you for your losses when the conditions are right......"

"I'd like to ask a question, what's going on in Ursuan?" a deep voice sounded, startling the young elf. Then he noticed a tall figure appear on the side. It took him a few seconds before he realized that the other party was speaking in Elven language.

The human language is vulgar and rudimentary, and it is not difficult for an elf to learn the human language. But if a human wants to learn the language of the elves, especially the "correct mastery" of the elven language, it is a very challenging job. Although Dinethor had been dealing with humans for many years, he had never heard such a smooth and beautiful Elvish language from human mouths.

The speaker was about his height and wore a hooded cloak. Although the weather was neither hot nor cold at this time, the person who suddenly inserted wore a hood, hiding his face and figure under a cloak.

"I just heard you talk about military operations...... It's been a long time since I've been away from Ussuan, is there something important happening at this moment?"

The other party implied that he was an elf?Dinethor thought with some confusion. But why should an elf take a human ship? But the other party's smooth and beautiful elven language did not seem to be a fraud. He was eager to see what the guy who implied he was an elf was under his hood, but it was extremely rude.

"Who are you?" Dinethor asked subconsciously in Elven language.

"My name is Ashrufat. The cloaked stranger replied in Elven language as well.

"I am Dinethor, a descendant of the Elu family and a servant of Prince Berlan. May glory always be with him. Dinether replied. According to the custom of the elves, when they announce their names, they must also disclose their identity. This Ashrufat didn't do this, which can only show one thing - Eshurufat thinks that his identity is far more noble than the other party, so he doesn't need to make this kind of introduction. "Our evil cousins have invaded. Ussuan is already in the middle of a war. ”

"Why is this happening?" asked the strange elf named Ashrufat.

"I'm not very sure about the specifics. But Ireber, the city where I live, has been affected, and while not directly harmed, the Phoenix King has asked us for reinforcements. It looks like our evil cousin's operation this time has become more than just an ordinary invasion. The Witch King wants a decisive war. ”

The elf, Ashrufat, was silent for a long time.

"If that's the case, it's really not a good time for trade...... So can I take your boat back to Ussuan?"

"If it's our siblings, of course there's no problem. Dinether replied. "At this time, we need the strength of every one of our compatriots. ”

Cosbodi, who was standing on the side, had a cloudy look on his face. He couldn't understand what Ashrufat and the elf were talking about. He wasn't to blame for that - very few people could learn the language of elves, let alone converse so fluently. However, although he could not understand it, Cosbodi could clearly feel that the two sides were talking closely, and there was nothing at all about the disguise of Ashrufat that he had expected.

Of course, this should be attributed to Ashrufat being smart enough. To disguise the obvious hole in size, Ashrufat wore a hooded cloak. After wearing this kind of thing, Ashrufat's body was completely obscured, and through the cloak, it was impossible to tell whether he was slender or strong from the outside.

But then again, it's really surprising that Ashrufat actually knows Elven language. No, it shouldn't come as a surprise. Kosbodi told himself that since Ashruphat was planning to infiltrate the elven realm, he must be somewhat sure.

By this time, Ashruphat had finished talking to the elves. He turned around and pulled Cosbody aside.

"Kosbodi, it looks like the elves won't allow your ship to dock. I'm going to go to Ussuan on their ship. Ashrufat said softly.

Cosbodi opened his mouth, he actually wanted to keep it, but he still didn't say it. After a long time, Cosbodi finally came up with a word. "I wish you a safe journey, my friend. ”

"Thank you. Ashrufat replied. "I wish you good health, too. I left a letter on the ship. I'm sorry I can't help you, but if you're in a bad situation, then you can do what I wrote. ”

Dinether waited a little longer to see Ashrufat walking towards him with a simple piece of luggage, and made a "go" gesture.

At this time, a strong wind blew. The hood on Ashrufat's head was blown away, revealing his true face, which was full of grace but lacked the beauty of the elves. He is not so much like a spirit as he is like a human. Thankfully, with his long black hair fluttering, Dinethor saw Aeshurufat's elven ears.

Ashrufat quickly pulled down his hood and covered his face once more. So the two men disappeared one after the other at the mouth of the rope ladder on the side of the ship.

"Peace be upon you, Ashrufat. Cosbody sincerely blessed this bold friend in his heart. He ordered the ship to turn around and return, and then walked to the room where Ashrufat was on board. As Ashrufat had said earlier, a letter was placed on the table and pressed with a paperweight. On the side of the letter, there was also a note.

"Dear Cosbodi, I'm sorry, but I have to make a trip to the Elven Realm, so I can't stay to help you. I have left a letter here, addressed to Neil in Sivania. Although Neil plays under the vampires, he is a credible man. If you have nowhere to go in a crisis, you can go to him with this letter. He will give you the necessary help. ”
