Dark Redemption of Elf

Chapter 74: Pingxi Mountains

"What's your suggestion?" Ayton asked.

"I am only two days away from the Asahi Mountains, and it takes four days to go back and forth. How about we use Eluli's identity to go to the Elf Kingdom to ask for help, such as funds and manpower..." Ravel still did not dare to confront the slaves. The traffickers resisted and instead hoped to seek outside help.

"No, first of all we have no evidence to prove that the underground auction really auctioned forest elves. Then the elves come here to easily alert the snakes and let the evildoers escape." Lan Keke said: "So let me contact Claire who is in Thorn City. He There should be...forget it, let him borrow some money from a certain noble. If he can't borrow money in my capacity, it will be faster."

"But those nobles are most likely colluding with the people at the underground auction. If you ask what the money is used for, what do you say? You must know that the location where the auction started must have more than 200 gold coins."

Two hundred gold coins are equivalent to two bags of gold coins, and generally only some big nobles can give them casually. Ayton was afraid that the big noble who borrowed the money was colluding with the slave traders, and would tell the auction in advance and ask them to transfer the forest elves, or even directly break the deal without leaving any evidence.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Lan Keke looked at Ayton with a frustrated face. If something like this happened in her country, as a princess, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Big brother..." Iluli, who lowered her head at this time, let out a soft cry.

Ayton looked at Iluli, whose face was covered by a green cloak. Even without seeing her eyes, Ayton could guess that her eyes were filled with tears: "Don't worry, Iluli, in these three days I will Forge some weapons, and then get the qualification to enter the underground auction. If you can't buy them, Ariel and I will sneak in and assassinate the noble, and then rescue your compatriots."

"Yes, yes, if you can't fight and snatch this staff of Lan Keke and sell it, you won't believe your compatriots who can't afford it," Ariel also comforted.

After such a long time together, she still has a good impression of this forest elf who never competes with her, especially since his brother still seems to like her very much. As long as Ayton likes it, she will also let herself like it. .

Lan Keke gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, I will sell this staff by then. I don't believe that the noble who bought the staff will not dare to return it to me."

Lan Keke's words were said lightly. The nobles would definitely not dare not to return the money, but it would definitely have a great impact on the dignity of their royal family, and even become the target of public opinion attacks from hostile countries. A princess of a country was so poor that she sold her own law. Staff, and then rely on power to force the small nobles to change back.

"Thank you... thank you for being so... kind to me." Listening to everyone's comforting voices, Iluli felt a wave of heat pouring into her heart from all over her body. These voices were so warm, even if Now she was in a foreign land, and the people around her could not be said to be from her own clan. Two of them were even the mortal enemies of her forest elf clan, but at this time they gave her a feeling like family.

People around her used to talk about how dangerous the outside world was, the greed of humans, the cruelty of dark elves, the brutality of orcs...

But Iluli has lived in a very kind and friendly environment since she was a child. She has never been exposed to evil people and does not understand what "evil" is, so she naturally relaxes her vigilance towards others.

Until they were secretly playing with a companion, a dark elf blood shadow hunting team discovered them. In order to protect her companion from being discovered, she was taken away by them. She was then put on a forbidden magic ring and felt the magic in her body day by day. drain.

Perhaps because of her well-behaved personality, she was not abused along the way, but the various embarrassing curses and dirty words that filled her ears made her gradually close her mind and become somewhat taciturn, until that day when Ayton Appeared, she said that sentence - that... I think I can heal your wound.

"No need to say any more words of thanks, Eluli." Ayton put his hand on Eluli's shoulder and said warmly: "That's because I want to help you, without asking for anything in return."

"Yes, yes, my brother is so soft-hearted. He will do anything you ask him to do. I have always been like this before." Ariel also put her hand on Eluli's shoulder and said clearly.

Ayton: "..."

"I'm helping you not only because of the relationship between my countries, but also because of our direct relationship." Lan Keke also put her arm on Yiluli's shoulder. She has basically been with Yiluli these days, because Ariel was indifferent to her, but Ayton always went to talk to Ariel.

"Well..." Yi Luli's tears couldn't stop falling. It could be said that they met by chance, but they were willing to selflessly dedicate so much to her. They were not at all sinister and cunning as the clan elders said. Very enthusiastic.

"Ahem!" A low cough came from Ravel. The four of them had talked so much to themselves. Did they care about his feelings? He also wanted to go up and say something, but they had only known each other for less than a day. It can be said that they don’t know each other at all, and they don’t know what to say. It seems that they have already said that they are willing to help the forest elves.

"That's right." Ayton helped Iluli put on the cloak and covered her face: "It's time for us to take action. First, go to the mercenary union to see if there are any missions to the Pingxi Mountains. Where are we going to hunt some Warcraft? , obtain the crystal core, earn some gold coins by the way, and then come back to build a 'rare' weapon."

"What!? You want to build a rare weapon in three days." At this time, Ravel finally couldn't help but said: "No, excluding the one and a half days of traveling back and forth, does it take more than a day? Create a rare-level weapon.”

It only takes half a day to get from Thorn City to the Pingxi Mountains in the north, and one day to the Asahi Mountains.

Ayton smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."

It wasn't until he really got to know the blacksmiths in the surface world that Ayton realized how abnormal his blacksmithing skills were. What others would take months to complete, he could complete in a few days.

Of course, this is all thanks to Bahrain’s ultra-simplified forging method and Ayton’s strong talent and strength.

Thorn City, Mercenary Union.

"A giant dragon appears in the Pingxi Mountains!? Is it true?"

"It's absolutely true. My companion said that he saw a huge dragon flying above his head, and it was also an undead dragon."

"Its whole body is covered with white bones and rotten skin. Two groups of blue soul flames are flashing in its eye sockets. When it opens its mouth, it breathes ice and can freeze dozens of people in an instant. One of my companion's arms was also frozen. It was hit by its breath, and now it has been amputated. I guess I won’t be able to be a mercenary in the future, alas.”

"It's so strong... No wonder the Marquis ordered that whoever can kill the undead dragon be rewarded with 2000 gold coins."

"Hell, 2000 gold coins! I'm a little tempted."

"Don't tell me it's you, I'm a little moved. Why don't you join our mercenary group to form a team? Let's go to the Pingxi Mountains to try our luck. If we really kill the undead dragon, we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. It’s exciting to think about it, and he also bears the name of this dragon-slaying warrior..."

In the mercenary union, Ayton, Ariel, and Lan Keke had just registered their mercenary information and received a bronze plaque marking their status as first-level mercenaries, when they heard two groups of mercenaries talking loudly.

"2000 gold coins!?" Ayton stopped when he heard 2000 gold coins, listened to their conversation calmly, and then looked at the center of the taskbar, where there was an eye-catching seal of the Marquis of Thorns. Show up on that task sheet.

"There is actually a dragon. Brother, I haven't seen what the legendary dragon looks like." Ariel seemed a little eager to try.

"It's actually a dragon!? That's a legendary creature. It's said that they rarely appear on the mainland now. This is the first time they've appeared around the Thorn Territory." Ravel sighed.

"But the undead dragon? It is impossible for undead creatures to appear around the Flower Language Forest." Iluli raised her hood and looked at the task list. The life elements of their Huayu Forest are extremely strong, and the undead creatures will be greatly affected, not to mention the Pingxi Mountains close to the Huayu Forest, and even the Luoxia Mountains in the distance.

"This dragon must be controlled by some evil forces. It is impossible for dragons to attack the northern villages innocently. Moreover, a wave of our special envoys have mysteriously disappeared. I don't know if it was their fault," Lan Keke said with a frown.

"No matter what, let's go to the Pingxi Mountains." Ayton made up his mind and said, "But as for killing this dragon, just kill it. If you can't kill it, don't force it. The top priority is to get some Warcraft crystal cores. Get back here in two days, I need a whole day to build a 'rare' weapon and then find the location of the underground auction."

If Ayton doesn't sleep 24 hours a day and keeps forging, he should be able to create a low-level rare weapon. It's just that his body is a little overwhelmed, and the quality is not guaranteed, but it should be no problem to sell it for more than gold coins.

Bahrain has said before that there was a time when he was building weapons by himself in his room. Without eating or drinking for three days, he successfully built a rare-level weapon, achieving the fastest speed of building rare weapons at that time. I don't know what his expression will be like when he knows that he can build a rare weapon in one day.

He could make two of them in three days, which cost about 1000 gold coins. He would definitely not be able to buy elf slaves. At most, he could only pay an entrance fee, and these 2000 gold coins would probably solve their urgent need. .

"Hiss, the fifth-level peak undead dragon is even as powerful as some sixth-level ordinary monsters." Ravel took a breath.

"Is this dragon only the fifth level? The fifth level monster has 2000 gold coins."

"This is a dragon-type monster. Although it is only in an undead state, its strength is much higher than other types of monsters," Ayton explained for Ariel.

"And it can also breathe frost. This undead dragon is not simple," Lan Keke said solemnly.

"Frost Breath!? Is it very strong?" Ayton looked at Lan Keke, who had a solemn look in his eyes.

"Well, it's a type of fifth-level magic, but it's almost twice as powerful as ordinary magic."

"Otherwise... we should wait for your weapon to be built," Ravel suggested in a low voice: "After all, it is safer this way."

Ayton turned his head and glanced at Iluli. She was wearing a cloak on her head, leaving only a pair of green eyes looking at the task bar on the wall.

The bounty marked on that piece of paper - 2000 gold coins - is so eye-catching. If they can get this bounty, then they will not have to risk their lives to rescue a forest elf that was auctioned again, and they heard from Gerry before As for what Ke said about the underground auction, they will keep the buyer's information strictly confidential. When the elf is bought, it will be difficult for them if they can't find the person.

"Let's give it a try. After all, it would be easier if we could buy her directly." Ayton said lightly.

"Yes, yes, and it's just a pile of bones. What's there to be afraid of?" Ariel agreed: "Isn't it just a fifth-level monster? We have killed two of them."

Ravel: "???"

"You can actually kill two fifth-level monsters!" Even after seeing their strength, Lan Keke found it hard to believe that they could kill two fifth-level monsters.

Ariel looked proud: "Of course, now you have confidence."

Lan Keke looked at Ayton again, who nodded slightly and said quietly: "We also have a wing tribe companion. Without her, it would be difficult for us to kill even one."

"If you want to make money, there is a gladiatorial arena in the center of Thorn City. It was opened by the Marquis of Funovich. I heard that the rewards for defeating the orc gladiators inside are also very generous. You can also earn 2000 gold coins in three days."

"The Arena" Ayton raised his eyebrows, then sank again: "Participating in the Arena would easily reveal our identities."

"By the way, if I can kill this undead dragon that is harming the border, it will also greatly improve our strength." Lan Keke also agreed with the plan of hunting the undead dragon, but her little face looked a little excited. It seems that he is mainly interested in the legendary dragon.

"...Since what you all said...Okay, I will lead the way for you, but let's make a deal first. If that undead dragon has sixth-level strength, or we can't match it at all, we should return immediately. Ravel reluctantly compromised.

He thought that there was no way they could kill an undead dragon. The two little girls looked like they had never seen a dragon before. They were just curious about hunting dragons and trying to earn some bounties.

"Of course we know that." Ayton smiled slightly. This Ravel was actually willing to help them, which made his impression of this half-elf much better.

Ravel shook his head and said nothing.

I really don’t know where their initial confidence came from, or maybe they overestimated their abilities. Two third-level warriors, a third-level elf healing life magician, and a fourth-level water mage, plus him, a fifth-level magician. It would be difficult for a level wood half-elf magician to defeat a level five peak undead dragon, and it could also breathe frost.

But looking at Lan Keke and Ayton's expressions, they seemed to know how powerful this breath was, but even if they knew the dangers ahead, why would they keep moving forward.

Ravel gave up thinking and secretly planned to persuade them to escape immediately if there was no chance. He could not give up his life for an impossible thing.

When fighting against a fifth-level undead dragon with a third-level strength, you can win unless you use the human sea tactic. Several third-level adventurers, who didn't even participate in the certification of the Adventurer's Guild, still talked nonsense about killing two fifth-level monsters.

As for building rare weapons in one day... forget it, even though the 'fine' quality sword he took out just now looks very good, no one can build a 'rare' weapon in such a short time. .

Ravel has already given up on participating in the auction. First of all, he is not sure whether there are really new forest elves captured, and if it is discovered that Ayton and the others bought them to help the forest elves leave, It was very likely that someone would assassinate him, and some nobles would never allow such a thing to be publicized.

"Iluli" Ayton patted the shoulder of Iluli, whose eyes were flashing: "Time is running out, we must set off now."

"Well..." Iluli didn't say thank you this time, and simply nodded in agreement.
