All kinds of things in his heart were skipped in his mind, but on the surface, Adier was very calm, just driving the carriage quietly, walking forward along the road.

On the side, seeing Adier's performance, Barana also seemed to feel bored, so she walked into the carriage, and seemed to be going in to take a rest.

After a while, the carriage drove slowly into the city gate.

There were a few guards in front of the gate, but they were not elves, but some dark-skinned, tall and strong Gugao people.

The Gugao people are a race near the Silver Mist Forest. Although they look similar to humans, they are actually not exactly the same as humans. Apart from the fact that the flesh on their bodies is much stronger than that of ordinary people, they usually have long hair on their chests and arms. Has black scales.

The individual combat effectiveness of this race is relatively strong, and even an ordinary member of it can rival a skilled veteran as long as he is an adult.However, there are too few people with wizard talent in the race, so the overall strength is not strong, it is just a small race attached to the elves.

There is no so-called city gate tax. After inspecting the goods that Adier brought, the Gugao guards in front of him let Adil and the two of them enter the city.

The city does not allow carriages and horses, so there is a special place for carriages outside the city.

After putting down the carriage and putting away the rest of the things, Adier walked into the city with Barana.

What comes oncoming is a sense of tidiness that is not found in other places.

The city in front of me looks very neat and tidy. Although some places are still a bit chaotic, compared to other cities that Adier has been to, it is already very good.

Especially in the city, there are carefully cultivated green trees, some of which bear small flowers, which makes Adier very fond of it.

Of course, there are many bad places.

Perhaps there are many outsiders, and the members of this city are very mixed.

On the way, Adier had already seen several groups of beggars, including half-orcs, elves and ordinary humans.

Looking at these beggars, Barana was a little dazed, looking at a certain corner, wondering what she was thinking.

"If you want to see it, you can go and see it."

On the side, Adier smiled at her, then handed her a bag of small copper coins, without continuing to speak.

As a result of the money bag, Barana was stunned for a while, looked at Adier's appearance and was silent for a while, then walked forward in silence.

She is obviously more caring than Adier, and it may be that seeing those beggars reminded her of herself who was struggling here.

Without giving too much, she gave each beggar a few small copper coins, and then quickly walked back to Adier.

"Is that okay?"

Watching her come back, Adier looked at the beggar in the distance, and said casually.

"I gave them three coppers each, and according to the custom, they can keep one for themselves, enough for them to eat another small piece of bread."

Balana looked very familiar with this, and shook her head at this moment: "Even if they give more things, this is what they have left in the end."

"Let's go."

She looked at the long road and said, "The road to other cities is more difficult. Before we start, we need to make some preparations."

Chapter 267 Smuggling

In the dense forest, there is a rough path.

On the small road, a group of people are walking among them.

This is a team with a very complex composition, including not only elves, but also orcs and humans, and even rare half-elves.

Adier and Balana were walking in it, but at this time they were wearing black robes, walking silently in it, they didn't look too conspicuous.

Walking on the road, looking at the long road in the distance, Adier's face was calm, and he quietly followed the elf guides in charge of leading the way, and walked forward.

This is a small smuggling group, and it is also the route Barana found for Adiel.

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 built by the elves for foreign trade, and they did not belong to the core of the elves.

There are very few people who are qualified to enter the Silver Mist Forest. As time goes by, some people will naturally think of other ideas, such as smuggling.

In the team in front of us, except for the elves who are leading the way, the rest are all stowaways.

The purposes of these smugglers are different, but the most important among them is to secretly establish trade relations with some elf tribes.

Among the elves, 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 directly subordinate elf nobles. Most of the output in the tribe will be collected by the direct nobles at extremely low prices. Those businessmen who come here to do business.

In this process, those nobles naturally made a lot of money, but the life of those small tribes who were oppressed was not easy. Over time, some small tribes would secretly establish contact with some stowaways, bypassing the elves and nobles directly. The production in their own tribe is sold.

In this way, although the price will be severely suppressed by foreign businessmen, and it will take a lot of risks, the profits will undoubtedly be much better, so many small tribes will secretly do this.

In addition to the merchants who wanted to secretly establish trading points, another major group of smugglers was the slave hunting 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 elves and nobles with royal blood in their ancestors, it will be a big deal, and some wizards who want to conduct related experiments will buy them with magic stones.

Thinking of this, Adier raised his head slightly, and looked to one side from the corner of his eyes.

Under the keen sense of the moon elves, behind Adil, several people were following far behind, with a strong breath of life on their bodies, and they were basically apprentice knights.

Among the seven or eight trainee knights, there are two existences with the strongest vitality. At this time, they look like ordinary people on the outside, 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 real fighters who have experienced many battles.

There is no doubt that this group of people is very likely to be a slave hunting group. Judging from the fact that the members are all apprentice knights, they should have a strong background, and they may have a noble background.

Adiel didn't want to delve into this.

With his strength at this time and his status in the Dark Wizard Alliance, if he is willing to negotiate with the elves in person, it is actually not difficult to enter the Silver Mist Forest through legitimate channels.

It's just that, many people's attention will inevitably 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 to do so would not be in line with Adier's character, and it might not be conducive to his purpose of coming here this time.

"Go and see the status quo of the elves first, and then decide on the countermeasures for the future."

Walking on the road, looking at the dense vegetation in the distance, this thought flashed in Adier's mind.

According to common sense, the Sacrifice of the Moon God is a high-level meditative idea exclusive to the moon elves, and its complete version is most likely in the hands of the elf royal court.

It's just that the current situation of the elves is also very complicated.

Before coming here, Adier had visited some wizards who knew about the elves, and had a rough understanding of the current situation of the elves.
