Path of light

Chapter 280 281. Negotiation Team

Roy stayed with the adventure group in a hotel in Padstow City for two days. Because Roy had just been promoted to a priest and lacked control over his own power, Instructor Nora conducted a series of attacks on Roy during the past two days. Sex practice basically allows Roy to have a clear understanding of himself.

In the past two days, Roy would be pulled out of bed every morning by instructor Nora and run around the forest road under the tree house in the misty morning fog.

Roy's physical strength was squeezed to the limit before he stopped and walked slowly, and then felt the power growing in his body.

Sabrina would also run with Roy every morning.

When Roy reached the limit of his physical strength, Sabrina just sweated on her forehead and panted slightly...

The three of them walked through the forest glade and came to an empty field.

There should have been a large number of treehouses here, but they were mostly inhabited by mixed-race elves. After these mixed-race elves left, the treehouses were completely deserted, and the forest clearing was empty, with not a single elf in sight.

Instructor Nora asked Roy to walk slowly around the field until his physical strength was fully restored.

Then she called Sabrina to the center of the empty field. She held a dagger and buckler in her hands and signaled to Sabrina to take the initiative to attack.

Sabrina held the hilt of the sword with both hands, took a step forward suddenly, her body jumped two meters forward, and the heavy sword she swung struck at Instructor Nora with a sharp sound of breaking the wind...

Instructor Nora turned sideways and smashed the small buckler in his hand towards the side of the epee.

Of course, Sabrina would not let Instructor Nora knock the epee away, flip her wrist, let the epee flip sideways, and sweep towards Instructor Nora's waist.

Instructor Nora quickly raised her dagger and blocked the heavy sword...

The shield in her hand hit Sabrina's face, but Sabrina seemed to have expected it. She jerked back and avoided the shield blow from Instructor Nora.

Every morning, Instructor Nora and Sabrina would practice in this forest glade.

At the beginning, Sabrina was still a little reluctant to let go. She was almost forced to defend during sparring. The epee was not suitable for defense, so it was full of loopholes and Nora frequently broke through the defense.

Instructor Nora realized this and took the initiative to let Sabrina attack...

Sabrina's offensive is a bit like a tidal wave, always coming in one wave after another.

She will not defeat her opponent in one fell swoop. Once she gains the upper hand, her attacks will be continuous, with shadows of heavy swords pressing overhead like the Titanic Peak.

Instructor Nora struggled to block the heavy sword, her arms were a little sore, she stared at the heavy sword in Sabrina's hand and said:

"Great, Sabrina, keep it up. Your offense is much better than your defense."

Sabrina stuck the heavy sword in her hand on the ground and sat under the tree, breathing heavily.

When Roy was almost recovered, Nora called out to Roy: "Roy, come here and let me see if your close combat has improved!"

Roy knew that the opportunity was rare, so he stood up quickly, patted the dirt on his butt, and held a wooden stick in his hand.

When he came to the opposite side of Instructor Nola, he didn't want to waste time. He raised the wooden stick in his hand, took half a step forward, and smashed it down towards Instructor Nola.

Nora raised her shield to block, and the wooden stick in her hand stabbed Roy's ribs, which was painful and numb...

Roy took a breath of pain.

"When attacking, you must also pay attention to the enemy's counterattack..."

Instructor Nora seemed much more relaxed when fighting Roy.

She kept blocking Roy's attacks and pointed out the shortcomings in his moves.

Roy, on the other hand, had a wooden stick in one hand and a shield in the other, and slowly learned the basic movements given to him by Instructor Nora. His fighting talent was much worse than Sabrina's, and his physical fitness was okay, but his movements seemed very stiff, at least under Instructor Nora. It looks like this in his eyes.

Instructor Nora and Moira have different fighting styles. Moira usually relies on agility and excellent balance to just wander around Roy's body and sneak into his blind spot to attack.

Instructor Nora stood opposite Roy. Whenever Roy swung the stick, she would find the flaw exposed by Roy and quickly counterattack.

Later, Roy will be told the correct way to defend...

In this way, Roy spent two painful and fulfilling days in the hotel in Padstow City.

During these two days, Woods left the hotel early each day and did not return until evening.

He wanted to find the mark left by his elders in Padstow City, but it took him two days and he only found a vague symbol left behind a bench in Fountain Square. It looked like it was left a long time ago. of.

Back at the hotel, Woods was feeling a little down.

"Don't worry, your uncle should have gone to the Griffin Barrier Mountains..." Roy said sitting next to Woods.

Woods whispered: "My uncle's character is a bit upright, and I'm just a little worried about him."

…

In the past two days, elf officers from the 17th Legion came to the hotel to visit Miss Christine.

Some of these young officers are members of the Swinburne family. Most of them are cousins ​​of Miss Christine. Some of them are young elf nobles in Castletown. They heard that Miss Christine came to Padre. People from the city of Stowe came to reminisce about old times.

As the favorite youngest daughter of Earl Swinburne, Miss Christine has never lacked suitors in the young aristocratic circle of Castletown City.

This makes Miss Christine a little annoyed, but there is no way to refuse this kind of social interaction, otherwise once Jean gets the label of 'arrogant and rude', it will definitely be extremely difficult to take it off...

Fortunately, the negotiating team from Buenos City finally arrived in Padsto.

…

In the afternoon of the same day, Instructor Nora brought the members of the adventure group to the temporary residence of the negotiating group. This large tree house was once the property of a Silver Moon Elf noble. The Silver Moon Elf noble moved his family to it three weeks ago. Tobermory went and exchanged the territory and property here for the portal pass.

Now this castle-like wooden building built on the canopy of a tree is nominally the property of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.

This towering giant tree is seventy or eighty meters tall, with an umbrella-shaped canopy like a green mountain peak. This castle-like tree house is hidden in the canopy, with only a few terraces and windows exposed from the dense leaves.

A group of elf warriors were guarding the door of the tree house. Instructor Nora handed the letter of appointment to a warrior captain.

The warrior captain asked an elf warrior to report the news inside.

Not long after, a young elf officer came down the stairs. However, his silver armor was somewhat different from the standard armor of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. On the chest badge were three ears of wheat symbolizing harvest, mist jungle and spiral. Ornamented horn.

He first glanced at the name on the appointment letter, and then said to everyone: "Good afternoon everyone, who is Captain Nora?"

Instructor Nora took a step forward and said to the elf officer, "I am Nora."

"I am Terrence, the captain of the escort team of this negotiation team. After you join the negotiation team, you need to temporarily join the escort team and accept the dispatch of the escort team. Is there any problem?"

Captain Terrence's Elvish pronunciation was very clear, but his speaking speed was very slow, and it was not the accent of Castletown City.

"All nine members of the Adventure Group of Castletown Elf Academy are here and ready to be dispatched by the negotiation team's escort team." Instructor Nora said.

Captain Terrence nodded, glanced across the faces of each member, and said to everyone:

"Come with me, the room has been arranged for you, I thought you would come in the morning..."

Roy followed Captain Terrence into this castle-like tree house, only to discover that the tree house was actually divided into several independent areas in the tree, connected by exquisite wooden stairs.

The place where the adventure group lives is considered to be the lowest level of the entire treehouse complex. This is the residence of the elf warriors of the escort team. When there is no patrol mission, members of the escort team are not allowed to hang out in the treehouses above, nor can they hang out in the treehouses above during their free time. Feel free to go out.

There is no way, once you enter the negotiating team, this kind of thing is inevitable.

This is also the reason why Instructor Nora is unwilling to join the negotiation team. If Earl Swinburne hadn't come forward, Instructor Nora would never have led the adventure group to participate in such a thing.

After Captain Terrence left, Magician Scarlett lay on the wicker chair in the room and complained to Instructor Nora:

"Nora, you shouldn't have agreed to this job in the first place, but now...our two-month happy vacation has been ruined like this!"

"The slave traders in Padstow City are mixed with the rebels. Once the slave trader leaders have a certain say in the rebel army, it is likely to be a disaster for the mixed elf rebels. What we have to do now is to bring them all together. Find it out..." Instructor Nola said to everyone.

"Nora is right, we must find a way to find them out." Instructor Gru expressed his attitude from the side.

Roy didn't pay attention to what the instructors were saying. He was looking at the palace built on a big tree. All the spliced ​​wooden boards were tightly joined, and the walls were engraved with exquisite patterns. Although the interior of the room was very simple, it was also Very comfortable.

"This treehouse castle is so beautiful..." Roy looked out the window and whispered to Woods.

"What's the point? When you have the opportunity to go to Darnassus in the future, you will see a city built on trees!" Woods responded.

"Woods, have you been to Darnassus?" Roy asked Woods curiously.

In fact, he had heard of the wood elves' royal capital more than once, but it was a bit hard to imagine. What kind of tree could be big enough to build a city?

"Well... not yet, I will definitely go and see it in my lifetime." Woods vowed.

"..."

During dinner, Captain Terrence informed everyone that the negotiation team would set off for the Griffin Rampart Mountains tomorrow morning, asking everyone to prepare in advance and get up early.

Only the elf warriors were dining in the restaurant. As for the big shots in the negotiation team, Roy didn't see any of them.
