Dark Redemption of Elf

"Level 4 strong man, run!" A masked man reacted first and shouted.

"Want to run away?" Tribis concentrated her magic power, and the vines tightly wrapped around the ankles of several masked men, preventing them from escaping. She wasn't originally a murderous person, but she just didn't want to let these humans leave unharmed.

She did not look back at the Ayton scene at this time. Yesterday, Her Royal Highness the Princess told her that Ayton was very strong. In her opinion, the person who could save people from the dark elves was definitely very strong, so she still had great confidence in him. .

"Brother Ayton, help me...ah" Tribis couldn't harm these masked men when she used entanglement, so she could only ask for Ayton's help. But she first saw the headless corpse lying on the ground. The miserable appearance made her exclaim. She had never seen a forest elf who truly fought cruelly, so it was difficult to adapt to this scene.

However, a masked man saw the right moment and shot an arrow at Tribis's chest. As long as the magician was injured, the brothers would scatter and run away, and Aton would never be able to catch up with them all.

"Be careful." Ayton didn't have time to think too much, and quickly formed a black shield to block the arrow for Tribis. However, Tribis was greatly frightened and sat down on the ground with a snap. The surrounding magic was immediately released. The remaining masked men were relieved and turned around and ran away.

"Tribis, are you okay?" Iluli quickly supported Tribis and asked worriedly.

"I...I'm fine," Tribis took two breaths and said, and then she felt that her back was all wet. This was her first actual combat, so she was inevitably a little nervous, and she had faced life-threatening danger twice. Fortunately, Ayton helped her avoid it.

"It's okay, just let those people go," Ayton said, then walked towards the horse that was tripped by Tribis at the beginning, only to find that six of the original eight horses had their legs injured due to tripping, and only The remaining two were in better condition: "Someone is coming soon. Let's leave quickly. Can you... know how to ride a horse?"

"We rode a chocobo in the Flower Forest, and the principle should be similar to this." Iluli replied. At this time, Tribis seemed a little exhausted from the battle.

"Very good." Ayton brought the horses over. These horses have been raised by humans for a long time and are very obedient. Before, Ayton, Ariel, Eluli, and Lan Keke rode in a carriage when they traveled from Black Rock City to Luoxia Town. During this period, the two of them also taught themselves how to ride horses. Although their skills were not very good, they were still better than two horses. The feet run fast.

"You...did you use dark magic just now?" Tribis glanced at Ayton complicatedly, and then said.

"Yes," Ayton said simply. He had thought about it before. If there was a fight, his and Ariel's dark magic would be greatly reduced if they were not exposed. It would be better to expose it to them as soon as possible. And although dark magic is not popular in the Dawn Continent, there is no order to hunt down a dark magician once a dark magician is discovered, unless that magician has committed a particularly serious crime.

"Why...you know dark magic?" Tribis looked at Ayton in disbelief. It was hard for her to believe that such a good man would be involved in the corrupted dark magic.

"Tribis, don't ask," Iluli reminded softly. She knew very well that many of Ayton's secrets could not be exposed, otherwise it would lead to death. The magic she just cast was also to protect Tribis.

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry, Brother Ayton." Tribis finally reacted and apologized to Ayton. It didn't matter what dark magic he had, he was a good person anyway.

Ayton waved his hand and said: "It's okay, let's leave quickly. We wasted a lot of time just now, and we may have distanced ourselves a lot from them."

They agreed to go to the foot of the Asahi Mountains in three groups. The distance between the two groups was no more than two kilometers to support each other.

......

At the same time, Ravel and Glick on the other side were not surprised.

"Ravel, why are you helping the forest elves? I heard that the forest elves don't like half-elf humans very much. Well... I remember they called you that." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Glick took the initiative to talk to him. Start chatting and liven up the atmosphere.

"This..." Ravel hesitated slightly.

"Haha, it's okay if you don't want to say it." Glick patted Ravel on the shoulder and said it was okay.

Ravel was silent for a while, then finally spoke: "When I was a child, my mother took me to live outside the Flower Forest for a while. That place was very beautiful."

"Huh? So you want to use this method to get the power to live in the Flower Forest?" Glick asked.

"...That's not the case. I don't know why. Maybe it's because my mother is a forest elf."

"Oh, I understand." Glick understood instantly. Half-elves are rarely the product of love between humans and forest elves.

Ravel is a bard who looks very romantic, but in fact he has no fixed abode and no fixed friends. He relies on stories he hears from hearsay, and then sings them in another place.

When he was a child, he lived in the Flower Forest, and he would inevitably receive all kinds of looks from the orthodox elves, so he wanted to use this method to tell some self-righteous forest elves that he was different from the so-called greedy human nobles in the Land of Thorns. They captured the elves, but he would Help the elves.

"By the way, Glick, what do you think about this grouping?" Ravel asked. In fact, he had been thinking about this matter just now.

"Group?" Glick raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you think this dispersed operation is unwise?"

Ravel nodded. This time they were grouped together to distract each other, but they didn't figure out the other party's real target. Is it really the forest elf girl Tribis? And wouldn't they be defeated one by one by others when they separate this time? Even if there is a signal flare, it will definitely take several minutes to rendezvous, which is enough time for a horseman to run back and forth.

"You are right, there is indeed a problem." Glick suddenly said: "I initially proposed to act separately, but what I thought at the time was to divide into two groups and go out of the city gate, and then meet not far outside the city. We went to the Asahi Mountains together, but now we are divided into three groups and meet at the foot of the Asahi Mountains."

"What's your opinion?" Ravel frowned. It was indeed Ayton who strongly requested to be divided into three groups yesterday.

Speaking of this, Glick smiled bitterly, "I feel that they, especially the young man named Ayton, still don't trust us very much and deliberately pushed us away. It was the same when they stayed at the underground auction before."

"What? Why... would they?" Ravel suddenly felt a sting in his heart. He regarded them as friends, but they couldn't trust him. "No way. We fought together in the Pingxi Mountains and helped them. He should just be on the safe side. And didn't he give us the signal flare?"

Glick patted the flare on his waist and sighed: "But think about it, is this action too risky, especially since the two groups are still two kilometers apart? In order to avoid the target being too obvious, His wisdom could not have failed to take this into account."

Ravel suddenly felt that what he said made sense, and said sadly: "Is it because I escaped from the battle when I was fighting the Necromancer?"

He originally promised to help the forest elf, but when he faced the seventh-level necromancer, he abandoned them and escaped alone. Although Ayton and the others didn't say anything about this, he couldn't forgive himself and wanted to find a chance to prove himself, but they didn't give him a chance.

"I don't think that's the case," Glick patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice.

"What?" Ravel looked into Glick's eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"Do you remember the mercenary who died on the ground when we first met them?"

Ravel nodded, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"The mercenary died not long ago. Although the fatal injuries on his body were caused by the undead dragon, there were also injuries on his feet, a kind of piercing magic!" Glick concluded: "They have no explanation for this."

"What do you mean?" Ravel's eyes were solemn, as if it was difficult to accept Glick's next words.

Glick took a deep breath and said: "You should know that undead creatures like the smell of blood best."

For this reason, Ravel still doesn’t know what he wants to express. Magicians are very rare. There are not many mercenary groups in the Land of Thorns with magicians. Piercing magic happens to be the most popular thing for the girl in blue. What they are good at...they actually designed and killed an innocent mercenary to use as bait to attract the undead dragon.

"No, they won't do such a thing." Ravel suddenly thought of the innocent Lan Keke and the kind-hearted Iluli. None of this could associate them with cold-blooded ruthlessness.

"Of course those little girls won't, I mean the boy named Ayton," Glick said thoughtfully: "I could see it in his eyes when we were in the Luoxia Mountains. Although he was kind on the surface, he was actually kind-hearted on the inside. She will be wary of anyone who makes a living, and there is also the person named Ariel. She seems to only have eyes for her brother, and the life and death of the others have nothing to do with her."

"This..." Ravel wanted to refute something, but when he thought of the mercenary group he met just before entering the Pingxi Mountains, the two of them almost slaughtered the entire mercenary group, and there didn't seem to be a single trace on their faces. Uncomfortable, the woman named Ariel even felt a little pleasure after killing. The two of them are less than 18 years old, but they can treat killing as such a trivial matter. Can't people who have such disregard for life be called cold-blooded, unable to kill an innocent mercenary for their own gain?

Ravel calmed down his mood and tried to calm his voice, "Then why did they help the forest elves, and they also trusted them two?"

"Haha, you have only known them for a few days. How can they trust you, let alone me? So we are far away from them, but it is not necessarily the case between the two groups." Glick said matter-of-factly: " And there are only three men in our group. Ayton must not trust that any beautiful girl will be protected by two of us 'strangers', in case we act maliciously, or betray them and kidnap a girl back. If you leave it to that Marquis, he will regret it until his intestines turn blue."

"How could I do that!" Ravel shouted angrily, feeling that he was insulting himself.

"Nothing is impossible, my friend. If you think you won't have bad intentions, he won't be so naive." Glick said with a smile, referring specifically to Ayton: "There has been a long-term fighting friendship." Brothers, they will all fight to the death over an epic weapon, and you have only known them for a few days."

"...Then what should we do?" Ravel felt a feeling of anger in his stomach and had no place to vent.

Glick didn't take it to heart. He had been alone for too long and wanted to help Ravel, a half-elf. "Do your own thing first. If they send a signal, we will rush there as soon as possible. Maybe they will gradually trust us, and maybe we can become real friends in the Flower Forest."
