Path of light

Chapter 232 233. The boundary marker in the north of Barrier Village

Instructors Roy and Nora took half a day off before walking out of the hotel.

I happened to see Sabrina standing at the door of the hotel, wearing a white linen dress, looking left and right.

Instructor Vergil stood next to Sabrina and introduced her to the places to go around the Barrier Village. When Roy passed by the two of them, he was kind enough to have Instructor Vergil introduce to Sabrina the road at the bottom of the valley in the Barrier Village. Clear creek.

The elves led a water channel from the upstream stream to ensure that the village had running water.

The scenery of the valley and creek is very good, but when it rains, the valley will be flooded by a lot of rain...

Roy waved to the two of them politely.

Sabrina's eyes lit up when she saw Roy walking out of the hotel. She immediately reached out and took Roy's arm, and said to instructor Vergil with an apologetic look:

"Sorry, Instructor Virgil, Roy and I made an appointment to go to the market for a stroll..."

"..."

Roy was speechless and could only smile stupidly at instructor Virgil.

Instructor Virgil was a little helpless. He couldn't lose his temper in this situation, so he could only maintain a stiff smile on his face and said to Roy and Sabrina: "The market is also very lively."

Then, he watched the two people leave.

Sabrina pulled Roy forward quickly for a while, and then said to Roy:

"Hey, do you know how ugly your smile was just now?"

Roy looked around, looking for the Adventurer's Guild clubhouse, and said, "I want to act more natural. Wasn't my expression just now unnatural?"

Sabrina followed Roy and complained with a smile: "It's so embarrassing."

"..."

Roy walked around the small market in the barrier village again. After greeting the caravan group, he searched for a long time before he found the hut next to a trading house not far from the small market. Yi didn't expect that this was the clubhouse of the Adventurer's Guild.

I just rented a room in the business house, with an inconspicuous plaque hanging at the door.

Knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Gently pushing the door open, I found that the door was not locked, and there was not even a counter inside. There were some bookshelves on the walls of the room, and a chair in the center of the room. An old elf was lying on the chair, and the book in his hand fell down. On the ground, looking like he was asleep.

"Hello, is this the Adventurer's Guild?" Roy stood at the door and asked cautiously.

"Oh? Oh!...Oh, this is it. Do you need any help? Although there are some adventurers in the village, they don't come here often, so you want to post some recruitment information on the notice board for a while. You may not find the right candidate, but if you can afford to wait..."

The old elf rubbed his nose, pointed to the back of the door, and said to Roy: "The notice board is over there. You can post recruitment information at will."

"I'm here to find some information. I want to know where to find the Flower of Light in the Barrier Village." Roy said standing in front of the old elf.

The old elf sat up. He looked at Roy with some confusion and said, "Those magic herbs are basically useless. They are more like ornamental plants than magic medicine. What do you do with them?"

"I just like them and want to buy two. Or if there are some there, I can just look for them myself..." Roy said.

"Are you a member of the Adventurer's Guild?" The old elf hesitated and asked Roy.

Roy took out the member's nameplate, and the old elf checked it carefully. Then he stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and said to Roy: "You really found the right place. I do have information about the Flower of Light here." , no one has cared about this thing, so it just sits at the bottom of the bookshelf and collects dust.”

The old elf squatted in front of the bookshelf and found a pile of information from the bottom. As expected, it was covered with dust.

"It's probably here."

After saying that, he handed the pile of information into Roy's hand, and a cloud of dust suddenly flew up.

"Sit down somewhere and look through it yourself. You can't take these materials with you. Where did you come from as an adventure group?"

"Castletown."

"Ah! That beautiful seaport city, I have been there before. I hope you can gain something from your visit to the Barrier Village."

There are no extra chairs in the house,

Roy pulled out two cushions from his magic belt bag, spread them in the corner of the room, and then sat on the floor with Sabrina.

Sabrina sat on the mat with her legs bent, and carefully checked every piece of information. These information are all information recorded by the Adventurer's Guild here. As long as you are a member of the Adventurer's Guild, you can check it for free. Of course, these It's all common information and all it takes is a little time and patience.

Two people could check the information much faster than one person, and they quickly found two pieces of information about the Flower of Light.

"It says that some elf hunters have seen flowers of light on the top of the barrier. They grow next to the griffin's lair..."

Sabrina saw a message and whispered.

Roy quickly put down the information in his hand and leaned his head over.

The old elf lying on the chair opened his eyes at this time.

"Young man, don't get close to those griffins easily. The higher you go, the more powerful they will be. Regardless of whether this news is true or false, it's not worth it considering its danger. And take risks," the old elf interjected, lying on his chair.

Roy understood the hidden meaning in the old elf's words. Not only could this news be false, but it was also extremely dangerous. A worthless magic herb like the Flower of Light was not worth looking for in such a dangerous place.

Roy quickly asked the old elf: "What kind of information can be entered into the club's database?"

"In fact, any information is fine, as long as you can provide proof. For example, if you tell us that a group of dire wolves were found in a certain jungle, as long as you can show me the heads of dire wolves, I will be able to This information is recorded in the file, and the time and the name of the adventure group will be marked at the end." The old elf pointed to the mark at the end of the message and said, "Well, it's usually marked here!"

"We record this information so that it can give some hints to future adventure groups..." the old elf added.

After a while, I heard Sabrina say again:

"There is also a record about the Flower of Light here. An elf hunter saw some Flowers of Light at the end of the valley and stream. He transplanted some of these Flowers of Light, but the surviving Flowers of Light were not not much."

Roy's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, and he quickly said: "Is it the end of the valley? This valley doesn't seem to be very long. If you have a chance, you can try your luck there."

The two searched the Adventurer's Guild for a while, but unfortunately they rummaged through the pile of information and couldn't find any other news about the Flower of Light.

During this time, some more adventurers came to the union, and everyone seemed to be here to check information.

An elf saw Roy and Sabrina sitting in the corner and came over to ask them if they had an adventure group. If not, they could join their adventure group.

After getting Roy's affirmative answer, the elves stopped asking questions.

The elves were flipping through information on the bookshelves at will, and someone posted a message on the notice board behind the door.

The room was not that big, but when several elves were squeezed in, it immediately seemed a little crowded.

They seemed to know each other, and one elf asked:

"How are the recent harvests? Why do I feel that those griffins are becoming more and more cunning. We have several traps over there, and no griffins have come in the past month."

"The situation here is not good either. We caught two this month. Before they died, their fur was almost worn to pieces..."

Roy didn't listen to the elves' chat and left the Adventurer's Guild after checking the information.

Walking to the street, Roy looked at the sky and said to Sabrina:

"You've been busy with my business all morning. Where are you going? Can I help?"

"No, I just want to visit the Barrier Village. This is a very clean gathering place for mixed-blood elves. It looks very nice." Sabrina walked on the street and said to Roy.

At this time, some mixed-blood elves in the village were running down the valley, as if something was happening there.

Roy and Sabrina happened to have nothing to do, so they ran down the valley with the mixed elves.

The mixed-blood elves were standing on the bank of the river. Everyone's eyes were on the other side of the river, because that side was the shady side of the mountain col. There were almost no tree houses built on the opposite hillside. Now on the other side of the valley, a group of Silver Moon Elf warriors are erecting a boundary monument next to the river. The boundary monument is clearly marked:

'The land north of the boundary monument and all the way to the south of Padstow City is owned by Lord Alves. Any elf entering the territory of Lord Alves needs to pay taxes, including but not limited to tolls and increased value of goods. If there is no goods VAT bill, the goods carried will be judged as goods obtained from the territory of Lord Alves, and this part of the goods will need to pay ownership tax. ’

Seeing this boundary monument, the mixed elves in the barrier village were in an uproar.

An extremely simple boundary monument actually completely deprived the hunting grounds of a large forest area to the north of Barrier Village. All these forest lands turned into the private property of the elven nobles.

"How could they do this? What right do they have to do this? Did they develop this land?"

"The land north of Barrier Village was gradually included after we built Barrier Village. Why did they take it away just as they said it would be taken away?"

A group of mixed-blood elves were talking among themselves next to the valley, and everyone looked in disbelief.

"I heard about this from my brothers from the village in the north yesterday. I thought they were joking. I didn't expect that occupying forest land would happen to us today!"

"This boundary marker cannot be erected here without our consent. Move it quickly!"

A mixed-blood elf walked out from a group of elves, pointed at the Silver Moon Elf warriors and shouted loudly.

Those elven warriors ignored the protests of these mixed elves and continued to bury the boundary markers.
