Chapter 266
In the dense forest, there is a rough path.
On the path, a group of people are walking in it.
This is a very complex team, including not only elves, but also orcs and humans, and even rare half-elves.
Adil and Balana were walking in it, but at this time they were all wearing black robes, walking silently in it, and they didn't look too conspicuous.
Walking on the road, looking at the long road in the distance, Adil's face was calm, and he quietly followed the elf guides who were leading the way and walked forward.
This was a small smuggling group, and it was the route Balana found for Adil.
The elves are extremely exclusive, except for a very small number of people, very few people will be allowed to enter the real territory of the elves.
As for the cities on the outskirts of the Silver Mist Forest, they were only specially constructed by the elves to conduct trade with the outside world, and did not belong to the core areas of the elves.
There are very few people who are qualified to enter the Silver Mist Forest. Over time, some people will naturally think of other ideas, such as smuggling.
In the team in front of them, except for the few elves who were responsible for leading the way, the rest were all stowaways.
The purpose of these stowaways varies, but the main one is to secretly establish trade relations with some elf tribes.
In the elf family, in addition to the supreme royal court and a few great nobles, there are actually countless small elf tribes.
These small tribes are usually oppressed by the elf nobles directly under them. Most of the output within the tribes will be expropriated by the nobles directly under them at extremely low prices. Those who come here to do business.
In this process, those nobles naturally made a lot of money, but those small tribes who were oppressed had a hard time. Over time, some small tribes would secretly establish contact with some stowaways, bypassing the elf nobles directly, and The products in their own tribe are sold.
In this way, although the price will be severely suppressed by foreign merchants, and it takes a lot of risks, the profits obtained are undoubtedly much better, so many small tribes will do this secretly.
In addition to the merchants who want to secretly establish trade points, another major group of smuggling is the slave-catching group supported by the nobles.
In the Forest of Silver Mist, elves are naturally worthless, but in the human world, elves are symbols of beauty, and each of them can be considered valuable.
If you are lucky enough to catch a few elf nobles whose ancestors have royal blood, it will be a big deal, and some will be purchased by wizards who want to carry out related experiments.
Thinking of this, Adil raised his head slightly, looking to the side from the corner of his eyes.
In the keen sense of the moon elf, behind Adil, there are several people who are following far behind, with a strong breath of life, basically they are apprentice knights.
At the center of the seven or eight apprentice knights, there are two beings with the most powerful vitality. At this time, they look like ordinary people, but their temperament is very cold and their aura is very strong.
These two are knight-level existences. Although they are not strong among knights, it can be seen from some details that they are true warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles.
There is no doubt that this group of people is very likely to be a slave-hunting group. Judging from the fact that all the members are apprentice knights, they should have a large background. It is very likely that they have the background of a certain noble.
In this regard, Adil did not want to delve into it.
With his current strength and status in the Dark Wizarding Alliance, if he is willing to negotiate with the elves in person, it is not difficult to enter the Silver Mist Forest in a proper way.
It's just that, the attention of many people will definitely gather around him. At the very least, as the elder of the Dark Wizards Alliance, he will definitely be extremely eye-catching along the way, and even be received by several elf nobles.
But doing so would not be in line with Adiel's character, and may also be detrimental to his purpose of coming this time.
"Go ahead and see the current situation of the elves,
Then decide what to do next. "
Walking on the road, looking at the lush vegetation in the distance, this thought flashed in Adier's mind.
According to common sense, the Rite of the Moon God is a high-level meditation method exclusive to the moon elves, and its complete version is most likely in the hands of the elves' royal court.
It's just that the current situation of the elves is also very complicated.
Before coming, Adil had visited some wizards who knew the elves, and had a rough understanding of the current situation of the elves.
As early as hundreds of years ago, the elf king's court had begun to decline. It is said that not only the power of Moxia has been constantly overtaken by several great elf nobles, but even the blood of the descendants is said to be not as good as before, so the power is still declining.
Although nominally, the elf royal court still rules all elves, but in fact the power of the great nobles is no weaker than that of the royal court, but they are still subservient in name.
If you want to get the inheritance of the elves in this complicated situation, you need to understand the situation well.
After walking for a while, birds gradually flew through the forest in the distance, bringing a burst of birdsong.
"Who!!" An exclamation suddenly came from the front.
Among the grass and trees, a figure flashed by, causing the elf who was leading the way in front of him to suddenly change his face, and he couldn't help shouting out.
They glanced at each other, then invariably pulled up the elf long sword on their waists, and walked forward slowly with sharp eyes.
"nobody?"
When they got there, they looked at the empty and spacious space in front of them. They were a little puzzled and a little relieved: "What kind of beast should it be..."
At the rear, at this moment, Adiel raised his head and looked in a certain direction in the distance.
In his mental induction, there are several figures running wildly in the distance, and the speed is very fast.
"There are five in total, and they are all real knights..."
Standing still, he looked into the distance and muttered to himself.
"What's wrong?"
On the side, Barana's concerned voice sounded.
She looked at Adil's face and asked with some concern.
"nothing."
Shaking his head, Adil didn't say much, but was ready to leave in his heart.
The sphere of influence of the elves already belonged to the sphere of influence in front of him. At such a close distance, several knights suddenly appeared in a panic. It didn't seem like a good thing.
Since those few are fleeing, it means that there must be someone chasing them nearby, and their strength is likely to be stronger than those of the knights.
Thinking of this, Adil shook his head secretly, just looked at the team in front of him, and Balana, who seemed a little dazed, didn't say anything more.
After experiencing the previous episode, they did not encounter any accidents after that, and arrived at the next camp before the night smoothly.
It was a few very simple wooden houses, and a lot of dried firewood was piled up behind the wooden houses, making it look a bit like a logging house.
When they came here, a few elf guides who led the way started to make a fire and cook soup spontaneously, and some people walked aside with a rusted logging axe, it seemed that they were going to chop some firewood to prepare for the next time.
After a while, a bowl of hot soup was served, with some wild vegetables and bread crumbs added, and it tasted pretty good.
At night, outside a few large wooden houses, Adil sat alone on a white stone, quietly watching the moon in the sky.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting down strands of silver moonlight, shining on Adil's body, pulling out a long shadow.
In the grass and trees on the side, there are often low-pitched insects, and occasionally the low-pitched howl of beasts.
Sitting on the white stone, Adier even saw a few wild wolves passing by, each of which was more than one meter high, with a faint glow in his eyes.
After seeing Adil, these beasts did not take the initiative to step forward. Instead, they seemed to sense something, and one by one, they left the surroundings of Adil voluntarily.
"You came out too."
Sitting on the stone, at a certain moment, Adil opened his eyes and spoke without looking back.
Behind him, a young girl in a black robe was standing behind him at this time. He listened to his words and didn't care: "You still feel so sensitive."
"Aren't you going to rest?"
Adil looked at Balana and said, "I'll just be here."
"I don't want to live with those stinky people."
Seemingly bored, Balana asked rhetorically, "What about the orc who was vigil with you before?"
"I was hypnotized and sent to someone else."
Adil's face did not change, and he said calmly.
Under the shining of the silver moonlight, his appearance changed a little.
In order not to attract attention, he changed his appearance through the emerald mark on his body, making him look like an ordinary human being.
But now, his appearance has returned to his previous appearance.
His black hair was loose, and his appearance was extremely handsome. At this moment, a pair of pure eyes looked at the bright moon in the sky, and a calm and peaceful aura gradually radiated from his body, which made Balana standing beside him stunned.
However, she quickly reacted, looking at Adil in front of her, she couldn't help sighing: "You don't look like a half-elf at all, but rather an elf noble with noble blood."
She looked at Adil's handsome and delicate face and slightly sharp ears, and sighed with envy.
"maybe."
Adil was noncommittal about her words and didn't say anything.
Strictly speaking, after the transformation of the Moon Elf bloodline, he is indeed not a half-elf, but a complete pure-blooded elf, and his appearance has changed a lot.
Those characteristics that belong to elves have become much more obvious, even under the suppression of the emerald mark, it just looks different from ordinary people, and the handsome is a bit too much.
But Adil didn't care about this.
As if feeling something, he silently stood up from the same place, looked in a certain direction in the distance, and said nothing.
In a few wooden houses in the distance, an accident is also happening.
