Path of light

Chapter 285 286.Plan

"I don't know where it is, you can go to the Fifth District and find out!"

The shirtless rebel soldier held a roll of dire wolf fur in his arms, grinning almost to his pointed ears, and said happily to Roy.

When the other half-blood elf rebels saw that Roy was an outsider and that he had arrived here carrying a bundle of dire wolf fur, they gathered around him and expressed their willingness to exchange something for the fur.

For these half-blood elven rebels, dire wolf fur is a piece of leather armor that can resist arrows.

The most powerful thing about the Silver Pegasus warriors of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion is not the elf sword in their hands, but that they fly in mid-air and continuously shoot arrows at the ground...

The reason why the rebels wanted to station themselves in the Barrier Village was to use the griffons on the Barrier Mountains to resist the Silver Pegasus warriors in the sky.

Such a roll of precious dire wolf fur would not have been worth much half a year ago.

But now, it can produce a life-saving leather armor, which is highly respected among the rebels.

Roy obviously underestimated the appeal of these two dire wolf furs to these mixed elves.

"What do you want, a magic core or a magic crystal? Either way..."

"You want to get some information? Are you here to find your companion? The human companion...is he a magician? I know where he is. I can take you to him and sell me this fur."

"Wait a minute..."

The mixed-blood elf with the dire wolf fur he wanted was more than just what Roy saw in front of him. Roy was already trapped in the crowd.

"I will sell them to whoever can get these two magic crystals..."

Roy stood in the crowd, raised the dire wolf fur in his hand, and shouted loudly to the people around him.

Just when the other mixed elves were hesitant, a rebel took out two magic crystals from his arms and stuffed them into Roy's hands, taking away the bundle of dire wolf furs.

His actions were crisp and decisive, and he didn't even communicate verbally with Roy.

Seeing that Roy no longer had the dire wolf pelt in his hand, many mixed elves complained that they were too slow to buy the dire wolf pelt.

Roy was also frightened into a cold sweat.

I thought that this group of mixed-blood elves would gather around them and snatch the dire wolf fur away, but I didn't expect that the transaction would be successful.

Roy licked his dry lips and put the magic crystal into his pocket under the watchful eyes of a group of mixed elf rebels.

He was originally planning to walk around the village, but after walking a few steps, he found that there were rebels following behind him. Roy was so frightened that he hurriedly left the barrier village.

The rebels following Roy kept asking Roy: "Are there any dire wolf furs left...?"

"There were no more, so I brought two of them over, and they were snapped up immediately."

Roy explained while quickening his pace.

He walked faster and faster, and finally started running very fast in the barrier village.

Fortunately, those mixed-blood elves did not catch up...

…

Suddenly, Roy's arm was grabbed by a hand.

Roy turned his head in horror and was relieved to find that the elf grabbing his arm was Woods.

Woods pulled Roy and asked him: "I just saw you surrounded by a group of mixed-blood elves, why did you run?"

"I brought a bundle of dire wolf pelts, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sell the pelts to inquire about Benjamin from the mixed-blood elves. I didn't expect that so many mixed-blood elves wanted to buy dire wolf pelts, and I was almost robbed by them... …”

Roy gasped.

"You actually brought two dire wolf pelts here to sell...they really belong to you." Woods said, turning around and looking behind him. No mixed-blood elf followed him, so he and Roy walked out of the village.

Along the way, the two saw many mixed-race elves returning from outside the village carrying bulging linen bags. Judging from the bulging outline of their cloth bags, they should have contained some fruits.

There are so many mixed elves gathered in the Barrier Village. There are no orchards around here. There are some wild fruit trees in the surrounding jungle, and there are also many bushes with berries.

But no matter how many wild resources there are, it is probably not enough to feed so many mixed elves.

Usually these mixed elves are scattered throughout the jungle and may not have such troubles, but now that everyone lives together, various resources immediately become scarce.

…

The two quickly walked out of the barrier village.

"How's it going? Have you found your uncle?" Roy asked as he walked.

"No, I asked a few mixed-blood elves to ask, and they all said they didn't know my uncle." Woods said dejectedly.

Then he asked Roy: "Roy, how are you doing inquiring?"

Without waiting for Roy to answer, he continued to chatter: "Don't be too anxious about this kind of thing, but it's a good idea to ask those mixed-blood elves while the goods are being sold... Why didn't I think of it!"

Woods patted his thigh, then took off his backpack, rummaged through the bottles and jars inside, and asked Roy:

"Roy, you said I should sell something. I still have some magic potion I prepared in my pocket. I don't know if I can use this!"

Roy remembered that the first mixed elf who bought the dire wolf pelt said that Benjamin the Magician might live in District 5, so he said to Woods:

"I seem to have gotten some information. A mixed-blood elf said that Benjamin is in Area 5."

"You actually found out about the whereabouts of that magician?" Woods stopped and stared at Roy in disbelief.

"Even though I have a little clue, I still don't know if it's true or not!" Roy said.

He heard that the fifth area was more chaotic than the second area, so he didn't plan to look there.

"Should we go to District 5 to inquire?" Woods asked Roy bravely.

"I think it's better to go back to the camp first, tell Instructor Nora the news, and see how Instructor Nora arranges it!" Roy said.

Returning to the temporary camp of the negotiation team, instructor Nora and Sabrina have not returned yet, and the other instructors are there.

"Roy, how are you doing when you go out to inquire?" Magician Scarlett was sitting at the entrance of the tent, using a grinder to powder some royal blood grass, and a spicy smell wafted in the air.

Instructor Gru was wiping the arrows in the quiver. When he heard Magician Scarlett's question, he also looked up at Roy.

Roy came to his tent, sat on a tree stump, opened the leather bag he had returned from the trade, and poured out all the Kohler inside.

There was a crash, and the shells collided with each other. The sound was so clear that it actually buried Roy's feet.

"Well, I heard some news." Roy said.

"Where did you get so many Kohler?" Scarlett Magician couldn't help but ask as she watched Roy counting Kohler.

"I just sold two dire wolf skins in Barrier Village..." Roy replied casually.

Only then did Instructor Eleanor look at Roy and asked, "Roy, did you just say that you got some information?"

"Well, it's just..."

Roy told the news again.

The instructors immediately gathered around and everyone sat together to discuss. It seemed that as Earl Swinburne said, there must be a lot of slave traders mixed in with the rebels.

"We should arrest this human magician as soon as possible. He probably knows many slave traders..."

Instructor Eleanor cracked her knuckles.

"When Nora comes back, make a good plan." Instructor Gru said.

…

It was only when it was getting dark that Instructor Nora returned to the camp with Sabrina.

"Nora, is there any news?"

Magician Scarlett put the ground medicine powder into potion bottles and asked Nora.

Instructor Nora took off her headscarf, sat next to Magic Scarlet and said:

"How can it be so easy!"

Sabrina walked back to her tent. It looked like the two of them had walked a lot and both looked a little tired.

After Instructor Nora sat down, he couldn't help complaining: "Now the barrier village has been turned into a garbage dump by these mixed-blood elves. The whole village is overcrowded, and many children are starving. There are probably already people in the surrounding jungles. There is not much food left to eat. Oh, damn war. I really hope that the peace talks can enter the next stage soon, and at least the food problem can be solved..."

Instructors Gru and Eleanor came out of the tent after hearing Nora's voice.

"War is always like this, and there is nothing we can do about it." Instructor Eleanor said.

Instructor Nora said: "I don't think anyone on the negotiating team is sincere at all, and I guess there won't be any substantial progress for a while."

Instructor Eleanor coughed slightly, and then said: "Nora, Roy found out about Benjamin's whereabouts. Should we go over and arrest him next?"

"Um...did you find out?" Instructor Nora said.

"I heard that he lives in the fifth district, but the news has not been verified yet."

Instructor Nola’s fatigue was swept away. She quickly stood up and walked into the camp, saying as she walked:

"Wait a minute... I'm going to find Terrence. I won't stand guard for the negotiators tomorrow. Tomorrow we will go to District 5 to inquire about information. The human magician has seen us, so when everyone acts, try to be careful... …”

Instructor Nora left in a hurry and returned soon.

"Go to District 5 tomorrow to search for Benjamin's whereabouts. We will try to be as secretive as possible this time. Roy and Sabrina, you two are responsible for gathering intelligence. We will follow you. Once the target is found, we will quickly arrest it and evacuate quickly. …”

Instructor Nora assigned tomorrow's tasks to the members of the adventure group.

In the temporary camp of the negotiating team, the negotiators also gathered together to discuss the conditions proposed to the rebels tomorrow.

The discussion lasted until late, and the negotiators returned to their carriages to rest.

…

In the morning in Barrier Village, the forest is often filled with thick morning fog.

Roy got up from the tent early and saw that Sabrina was already carrying a bundle of grass to feed the horses. He said hello to Sabrina and then took the barrel to the river not far away to collect water. water.
