Path of light

Chapter 276 277. The Count’s Commission

When the members of the Elf Academy Adventure Group were gathering, Instructor Nora said many times:

I don’t want to go to the Partington plane anymore during my vacation adventure. The reason is that the situation there is very chaotic.

Currently, the army of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom is stationed in Padstow City, and the rebels have retreated to the Barrier Village at the foot of the northern mountain of the Barrier Mountains.

Today's barrier village has become a gathering place for rebels. Even if everyone goes to the Partington plane, they have no chance to climb the Griffin Barrier Mountains.

Since there are a large number of griffons living in the Barrier Mountains, these griffins can be said to be the natural enemies of the Silver Pegasus.

Therefore, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion has no plans to encircle and suppress the rebels for the time being.

Negotiations between the two parties have never been interrupted.

The Seventeenth Legion hoped that the rebels would put down their weapons and obey the arrangements of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion. Commander Swinburne made it clear that the mixed elves in the rebel army would not be tried or liquidated.

The leader of the rebel army hopes that the top brass of the Silver Moon Elves can agree: the mixed elves can carve out a territory in the jungle south of Padstow City, and the mixed elves can govern themselves. The silver moon elves are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the mixed elves...etc. wait.

In fact, after the two sides have entered the negotiation stage, the blockade of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion on the Partington plane has not been lifted.

At the same time, supplies in Padstow City are being distributed according to quotas to ensure that no supplies will flow out of Padstow City...

The negotiation period may drag on for a long time.

The Silver Moon Elf Legion controls the plane portal and material supplies, and is strangulating these materials to death. The rebels in the Barrier Village have been facing the dilemma of scarcity of materials.

The Silver Moon Elf Legion will naturally not make compromises easily...

The mixed elf rebels also want to gain more power and resources, such as land on the Partington plane, and even want to open up an autonomous region, etc.

In fact, the problem in this incident is 'slave trading', which is something that all elves cannot tolerate, and the finger of blame is directly pointed at some Silver Moon Elf nobles...

Once this scandal spreads, the reputation of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will quickly decline.

Therefore, the mixed elf rebels did not want to compromise so easily.

It is for the above reasons that Instructor Nora does not want to explore the Partington plane during the holidays.

…

The tavern next to the library opposite the Elf Academy has long been a designated gathering place for the adventure group.

When Roy walked into the tavern, the female elf waiter couldn't help but wink at Roy and pointed to the corner inside.

It goes without saying that Instructor Nora and the others have arrived.

"Bring me a cup of fruit tea."

Roy said something to the female elf waiter and walked into the tavern.

"Roy, we have a new batch of sweet fruit wine, don't you want to try it?" The bartender at the bar also greeted Roy with a smile.

"Forget it, alcohol can easily damage mental strength, especially for an underage half-elf like me."

Roy waved his hand and walked straight to the long table in the corner. Sabrina and Miss Christine had already arrived, as well as several instructors. Only Scarlett Magic did not come. She was busy recently. Everyone has long been used to doing some magic experiments and often missing adventure group gatherings.

"I checked some information recently and selected four planes from more than a dozen planes: Rocky Mountain Plane, Hulan Plane, Chimera Plane, and Emerald Forest Plane. The entrances to these planes are On the shores of the Lake of the Moon in the city of Buenos.”

Instructor Nora laid out four plane maps on the square table.

Everyone got closer and looked at these plane maps of different shapes.

"The Loki Mountain plane is very special. The entire plane is a huge mountain. This mountain is too big to be described. At present, we cannot see its full picture. The elven city established by the Silver Moon elves in the Rocky Mountain plane is on the south side. On the hillside, a Silver Moon Elf Lord from the Loki Mountain Plane once sent a team of Silver Pegasus flying sideways along the mountains for nearly three months, but failed to reach the west side of the mountains..."

"If we explore the Rocky Mountain plane, I plan to walk up there, but our vacation is only for two months, and most of the time will probably be wasted on the road..."

Instructor Nora introduced to everyone.

Roy was a little surprised. No wonder the map showed a sloping hillside, and the entire plane was actually a mountain peak.

Instructor Eleanor waved her hand and said to Instructor Nora:

"I have been to the Rocky Mountain plane once. This season is not very good. It is covered in clouds and fog most of the time, and there are towering ancient trees everywhere on the mountain peaks. Because of the slopes, it is not easy for us to lose our way, but we have to walk in heavy fog all day long. , the travel experience was very bad.”

"The Hulan Plane, this is an extremely cold place, a piece of frozen soil. There is only a short month every summer. There are large coniferous forests growing here. There are some mosses growing under the snow layer. There is a kind of species living here. The very famous World of Warcraft - the Earth Fury Bear. If we want to see the Earth Fury Bear, going to the Hulan Plane is also a good choice. The only trouble is that we need to prepare some cold protection supplies."

Instructor Nora said and put his hand on the second map.

After listening to these introductions, it felt like a cold wind was blowing in the tavern, making everyone shiver.

Castletown is a tropical city. The north wind only blows here for two months in winter. For the elves living here in the ice and snow, it is extremely scary...

"Otherwise... Nora, you should introduce the third dimension. No one except Scarlett might like the ice and snow environment." Instructor Vergil said to Instructor Nora with a sneer.

In an environment of ice and snow, the power of Scarlet Magician's ice magic will be greatly increased, that's why Instructor Vergil said this.

"I heard that someone went on an adventure in the Hulan plane. I didn't pay attention when I was sleeping at night. When I woke up in the morning, I found that my little toe was frozen off. As you know, I am very afraid of the cold..."

After Instructor Virgil finished speaking, he even pulled up his clothes exaggeratedly.

Instructor Nora looked at the third plane map with some helplessness. In fact, she really wanted to go to the Hulan plane and see those violent earth bears that could walk on the ice peaks.

Instructor Nora opened the third plane map and said to everyone:

"The Chimera Plane, this is a plane named after the magical beast Chimera. Even if I don't introduce it, everyone should know that the overlords of this plane are these Chimera. They have the blood of some ancient pterosaurs. Although they are almost Thousands of years of reproduction have made the dragon blood in their bodies very thin, but adult chimeras are still level four monsters, just like the dragon flies in the blackwater swamp. With our current strength, we want to hunt the monster chimeras. , there may still be some difficulties.”

Instructor Eleanor added:

"I heard that in this plane, not only are there chimeras, but there are also a large number of hippogryphs, owl beasts, etc. on the Eagle's Nest Mountain. It is worth our risk."

"Then let's go see the Chimera. If we're lucky, if we kill one, the whole trip will be a huge profit..." Instructor Vergil also agreed.

Instructor Gru sat in the corner and remained silent.

Roy could tell that Instructor Gru seemed a little tempted.

"I heard that there are elf dragons and dragon eagles living deep in the Chimera plane. If we can find them, maybe we will be recorded in the history books!" When instructor Vergil said these words, his eyes were shining.

Instructor Nora nodded. She signaled everyone not to make a choice yet. There was still one last plane that she had not introduced yet.

"The last plane introduced is the Emerald Forest that we are familiar with."

"The environment there is very good. There are lush forests everywhere, and ancient trees thousands of meters high can be seen everywhere. The trunks of these ancient trees are almost two to three hundred meters in diameter."

"If we are lucky, we can still find an ancient tree that has not been developed. As long as we occupy this ancient tree, we can have our own large tree house in Castletown..."

Hearing what instructor Nora said, Roy was a little confused.

It's obviously an ancient tree in the Emerald Forest, so why does Instructor Nora say that he can have a luxurious treehouse in Castletown?

"Instructor Nora, how can the tree house in the Emerald Forest plane be moved to the Elf Continent?" Roy asked curiously.

Instructor Nora was stunned by Roy's question. She thought about it seriously before explaining:

"This kind of thing belongs to the category of magic. The elf mage can connect the space cracks in the big tree without gaps. I can't tell you the specific principle. Maybe Scarlett will know a little bit."

"However, this kind of tree house can only be built inside the heart of the tree. Once an external force breaks the heart of the tree, the tree house will completely collapse."

Sabrina also didn’t understand the composition of a tree house and said, “Wouldn’t a tree house like that be dangerous?”

Miss Christine whispered from the side: "Actually, no... I don't know the specific principles. I probably only know it after reading it."

The discussion was a little lively. Instructor Nora clapped his hands and said to everyone:

"Then let's vote, and we will eventually choose the plane with the most votes..."

Just when everyone was hesitating to choose the Chimera plane or the Emerald Forest, a Silver Moon Elf officer walked into the tavern. After standing in the tavern and looking around, he locked his eyes on Instructor Nora's square table. .

The officer stepped over, his boots making a crisp sound on the wooden floor.

The guests in the tavern looked at the uninvited guest.

The elf officer was unmoved at all. He walked up to Instructor Nora...

Miss Christine raised her head and asked the elf officer: "Adunis, did father ask you to pick me up?"

Silver Moon Elf officer Adonis smiled at Christine and said:

"The Earl of Swinburne has no such instructions. I am here... because the Earl wants to see you."

Instructor Nora stared speechlessly at the Silver Moon Elf officer in front of him, probably regretting that there was a member of the adventure group who was actually a Silver Moon Elf noble lady...

…

Earl Swinburne sat on the sofa in the living room and gave very casual instructions to the members of the adventure group:

"Please feel free to sit down."

Several Silver Moon Elf maids filed out, carrying silver teapots and golden fruit trays filled with various fresh fruits.

In the fruit plate, the white frost on many fruits has not been wiped off and they look very fresh.

After the elf maids left, Earl Swinburne sat up straight and said straight to the point to the instructors:

"I invite you here this time just to ask you a favor. The negotiation team coming from Buenos City will arrive in Castletown City the day after tomorrow. This time the negotiation team will go to the Griffon in the Partington plane. Barrier Mountains, second negotiation with the leader of the half-blood elf rebel army.”

"I heard that your adventure group has recently been to the Barrier Mountains, which means you are very familiar with the situation near the Griffin Barrier Mountains."

"It just so happened that I couldn't find any other guides I could trust for the time being, so I thought of you and wanted to ask you to lead the negotiation team to the Griffin Barrier Mountains."

"Of course, you don't need to consider security issues. The security issues of the negotiation team will be jointly handled by the Silver Pegasus Legion and the Unicorn Legion. You just need to lead the way."

After saying this, Earl Swinburne's eyes fell on Instructor Nora.

He knew that Instructor Nora was the real talker of the adventure group, and everyone believed in Instructor Nora.

"I don't think there will be no suitable guides in Padstow. Lord Earl, if we are invited to go to the Partington plane just as guides, then I will refuse without hesitation!" Instructor Nora said bluntly! Said bluntly.

Although the instructors of the Elf Academy have a high social status in the city of Castletown, it was a bit too rough for instructor Nora to speak to a Silver Moon Elf Earl in this tone.

Earl Swinburne did not show any displeasure, but said slowly:

"The news came from the Partington plane that there are some slave traders mixed with the rebels. After all, you have seen real slave traders in Padstow, so I hope that after you arrive at the barrier village, you can help me hide these in the Find the slave traders among the mixed elves."

"Even if I find just one slave trader, I will be able to follow the clues and find out more slave traders." Earl Swinburne looked at Instructor Nora and continued: "We can tolerate the rebels. behavior, but for slave traders, our strategy is to fight them to the end."

Instructor Nora looked at Eleanor, Virgil and Instructor Gru, and saw that they did not have reluctant expressions, then said:

"Since you have said so, I can agree first, but I still need to discuss it with other members of the adventure group. I cannot guarantee that all members will participate."

When Earl Swinburne heard what Instructor Nora said, he knew that his goal had been achieved.

"Okay, try not to leave Castletown these days. If there is no change in the planned date, the negotiation team will set off from Castletown Port in five days. Just listen to my notice." Lord Earl Said gently.

Instructor Nora hesitated for a moment and said, "Um...we might leave early, but we'd better meet up in Padstow City."

Happy National Day, let’s go to hotpot...
