Path of light

Chapter 246 247. Things about the lord

Thick smoke was billowing from some tree houses in the village, but fortunately the fires did not spread.

It was impossible to put out the fire. The whole tree was on fire. We had to be careful not to spread the fire to other tree houses...

The small market in the village was in a mess, with worthless goods scattered everywhere. Some of the old leather that was originally spread on the stalls was trampled to tatters and filled with mud and water.

Most of the villagers in the barrier village were gathered in the small market. The mixed-blood elf villagers gathered together and were separated from the merchants and adventurers in the village.

A group of heavily armed Silver Moon Elf warriors surrounded the villagers of the Barrier Village. The merchants and adventurers could only stand and watch, with anger on everyone's faces, but no Elf dared to stand up and fight.

Groups of elven warriors wearing silver armor, with standard elven swords hanging on their waists, formed a wall around them.

Some of the mixed-blood elf villagers who tried to resist were beaten to death, and apparently the treehouses that were set on fire were also related to this.

In front of the sharp elven sword, all resistance was suppressed.

The cries of some women and children could even be heard among the elves...

…

Instructor Nora led the adventure group to the outskirts of the barrier village. When she saw this scene in the small market, her face was gloomy. She held the hilt of her sword with one hand, stared at the elf warrior commander from a distance, and strode over. .

"What is the difference between this and a bandit? What is this...the oath made when becoming an elf warrior? This is treating the weak with kindness? This is fighting as an unarmed man? This is not harming women and children..."

Instructor Nora’s eyes were filled with anger…

She wanted to stop the atrocities of this group of Silver Moon Elf warriors, but was held back by the old elves from the Adventurer's Guild.

The old elf firmly held Instructor Nora's arm, stared at Instructor Nora with his cloudy eyes, and said to her:

"If we come forward at this time, it will only make things worse. We can stop them this time, but next time more elf warriors will come. What can you do? Can you still stay here for the rest of your life? When the time comes, They’re gone, but what about the residents here? They will face even more brutal repression, and then it won’t just be about burning one or two treehouses, this competition is not on the same level at all.”

After saying these words, instructor Nora finally realized that he was impulsive.

"We have to do something..."

Nora said bitterly.

"Although this kind of thing does not happen in the Elf Continent now, in other lord planes, this kind of thing has long been common. It is not surprising. Because we are the weaker party, we are obviously beaten, and we have to compensate and apologize in the end. "

A businessman in the crowd whispered. He lowered his head and didn't even want other elves to notice him.

The old elf fell silent for a long time before saying:

"If you want to help the villagers in Barrier Village, then buy the jungle here from Alves. As long as you have the territorial certificate, it is up to you to decide whether to set up boundary markers or not. As for finding these elves I think it’s better to forget about the soldier’s trouble!”

"How is this possible?" The veins on Instructor Nola's forehead appeared.

The old elf glanced at Instructor Nora: "So, what do you think you can do?"

"But that's not fair to them!"

Instructor Nora looked at the group of villagers from the barrier village in the small market and said.

"Unfair... Do you think it's over just like this?" The old elf grinned bitterly.

"..."

…

The elven warriors have gathered all the mixed elves in the small square. They have formed a human wall around nearly a thousand mixed elves. There is also a row of archers on the outermost edge holding long bows, but they have not put arrows on the bow arms.

An elf officer wearing exquisite silver armor stood on a high tree stump. He wore a pair of white silk gloves. His handsome face was slightly aloof. He slightly raised his white chin, making people feel his The neck is longer...

A white cloak hung behind the armor, and one hand was resting on the hilt of the sword.

He paced back and forth on the tree stump. After walking a few times, the invisible pressure on his body made the small market quiet.

When the elf officer heard that there were almost no voices below, he stood on the tree stump with his legs spread and took out a parchment scroll from his arms.

However, he did not unroll the parchment, but looked at the dark mixed-blood elf villagers in front of him and said in a deep voice:

“I stand here today because I have received a complaint from Lord Alves.

I heard that the villagers of Barrier Village interfered and destroyed the boundary markers set up at the boundary of their territory without any legitimate reason.

Moreover, the elf warriors under my command were also beaten by the villagers of the barrier village for no reason.

I came here this time to punish the villagers who beat the elf warriors for no reason, but you told me that they have already left the barrier village.

Since they no longer live in the village, there is no need for their tree house to exist. Wouldn't it be better to burn it with fire and add a beam of sunshine to the forest glade?

In addition, I heard that you do not understand the territorial division voted by the Padstow Elf Elders Council...

Therefore, I am here this time to read to everyone present:

The southernmost boundary of the territory used by Lord Alves is located on the north bank of the Rampart Village Valley. From this point to the outskirts of Padstow in the north, this jungle now belongs to Lord Alves' territory.

No elf is allowed to destroy or move the boundary markers without authorization. If anyone dares to disobey, I won't mind arresting him and putting him in the Parram Island Prison. "

"But you,"

The elf officer ignored the villagers’ questions at all.

However, a Silver Moon Elf dressed as a noble walked up to the wooden post and explained to everyone with a smile:

"Lord Alves has also considered these issues. The lord cares deeply about every elf in the barrier village, so that you can eat sweet breadfruit, drink honey lemon tea, and live in a comfortable and spacious house every day. In the tree house, the lord will select two hundred farmers from the barrier village. You do not need to face jungle monsters every day, nor do you need to go all over the mountains and fields to collect magic herbs. You only need to open up an apple orchard for Lord Alves... Recruitment conditions as follows……"

The words of this Silver Moon Elf nobleman indeed made many mixed-blood elves feel excited.

Then everyone realized that a village with more than a thousand mixed-blood elves living in it only recruited 200 orchard farmers. So it was still difficult for other mixed-blood elves to make a living?

So some elves rushed to sign up, and some mixed-blood elves raised questions.

"Don't worry, everyone, don't worry! Lord Alves is still planning to recruit two hundred people..."

The Silver Moon Elf nobleman spoke out the next recruitment information in a leisurely manner.

…

In the small market of the Barrier Village, due to the hard lobbying of the elf nobles, the recruitment quota for 200 orchard farmers was quickly taken up by the villagers...

Roy finally figured it out. The elven nobles occupied a large area of ​​land in the jungle and also formulated a method to resettle the villagers. However, they also had to cut off the villagers' source of livelihood from hunting and collecting magic herbs so that the villagers could live in peace. Working in the newly planted orchard.

The fire in the village was also extinguished. The summoned mixed-blood elf villagers all left the small market, and the originally noisy barrier village returned to its former peace.

The topic of conversation among the villagers is no longer how many magical herbs they collected or who hunted the wind fox from the forest.

But what kind of job did he get on Lord Alves' farm...

A group of businessmen appeared in the small market, and they began to set up stalls silently. After all, life must go on. Although some unlucky guys suffered some losses, they could not suffer losses and stopped living...

Instructor Nora returned to the Barrier Village Hotel with some frustration. A group of adventure group members also seemed a little uninterested. They originally wanted to go shopping in the small market, but gave up this plan at this time.

Instructor Nora did not go to the Adventurer's Guild Service Center in the Barrier Village to make information notes...

Although what the old elf said made sense, she didn't know why. She always felt helpless but wanted to resist.

The hotel in the village was not affected.

Everyone returned to the hotel and hid in their rooms, refusing to come out again.

The horses that Instructor Nora kept in this hotel were well fed.

Roy also got the pot of the flower of light that was about to die. Unfortunately, the flower was not in good condition and all the leaves had withered. However, during this period, the ears of wheat on the flower stem were covered with particles of holy light.

The moment Roy hugged the flowerpot, he felt that the Holy Light saplings in his body quickly absorbed these Holy Light particles...

The particles of holy light hanging on the Flower of Light are particularly easy to absorb.

Unfortunately, Roy only had one plant in his hand, and it was almost dead. Thinking of this, Roy could only sigh silently.

Roy picked up the flower pot from the hotel counter. The owner of the hotel kept explaining to Roy that they had been taking good care of it, but no matter how they treated the flower of light, they couldn't make it any better. .

Roy just smiled in response.

When going upstairs, Scarlett Magic, who was lying on the wicker chair on the terrace watching the sunset, glanced at the flowerpot in Roy's arms, and did not forget to say to him:

"Roy, this flower of yours won't live long, why are you still holding it?"

Roy raised the flower of light in his arms and said with some embarrassment:

"Maybe it will get better. I'm going to take it to Padstow City to find a magic plant cultivator to see if it can be rescued."

Scarlett Magic waved her hand casually and said to Roy, "Okay, whatever you want!"

When the adventure group left the barrier village, they did not register information with the adventurers' union in the barrier village.

Roy felt that Instructor Nora didn't want to see the old elf again. She wanted to return to Padstow City as soon as possible, but she didn't want to pass through Lord Alves' territory...

Because Instructor Nora refused to pay taxes to Lord Alves.

In this way, the adventure group can only go around the edge of the territory...
