Chapter 705. The strength of an elven mage
The treeman's face froze, and he jumped away from the spot and took a few steps behind him.
After seeing the flames rising from the fire elves, Devitt immediately commanded the Calradian soldiers to retreat.
In fact, he had never seen a flame of this color before.
I felt the high temperature that seemed to melt the air from a distance.
"What a guy." The Treant said with his head down.
"Let us go, or the entire mountain forest will be burned down for you!" A fire mage demanded loudly.
"Okay. Let you go. The Treant nodded slightly, "But before that, let me try the power of your flame!" β
A wooden stake weighing 100 catties appeared in front of the fire elves and others. The top of the stake slammed straight into the forehead of one of the leading mages.
"Be careful!" Someone exclaimed.
Just when everyone thought that the fire spirit was going to have to take the blow hard.
So the mage gently put his hand on the growth rings of the stump: "Wow! βThe stake was burned into toner in an instant.
"Try this!" The five fire elves charged forward, each throwing the fireball they had accumulated in their hands at the tree man standing in place.
The palm of the treeman's right hand made a grasping gesture, and the fallen leaves on the ground rolled up one after another, converging into a large floating ball in front of the treeman, blocking the combined attack of several mages.
Fallen leaves have also turned into fly ash.
"Okay. Let's go. The Treant wiped away the dust that had fallen on him, and said to DeWitt and his party unconcernedly.
Abel motioned for a few fire spirits to step down, then walked up to the Treants and said, "We're just passing through the border of your Treant Territory. Since you've said we're leaving, keep your promise and stop playing any tricks to make it difficult for us. β
"Hmm." The Treant smiled, ignoring the others, and walked deeper into the woods on his own.
Cremont stared at the back of the departing Treant and walked up to Able warily and suggested, "Let's go now." It will be bad when their people come to me. β
"Let's go!" Able commanded the soldiers behind him.
The group did not hide anymore and chose to sprint down the mountain in the fastest way.
After an hour, everyone walked out of the treeman's territory. Exhausted, he collapsed at the foot of the mountain to rest.
"After a ten-minute rest, let's hurry. Try to get to the dwarven realm before dark. Cremont preached to the soldiers.
The Dwarves are one of the few races on the island that are willing to leave room for communication with outsiders or other races. Before DeWitt and his party arrived on the island, Raphael personally approached the dwarves and negotiated: I hope they will not embarrass the passing reconnaissance team.
Dwarven nomads deal with almost all races on the island. In dwarven towns, you can buy any news on the island with money. The more subtle the message, the higher the price.
In the early morning, Raphael suggested to DeWitt: If you want to know the racial characteristics of snake women and so on, you can go to the information of the dwarf clan and ask for it.
"Is there any difference between dwarves and gnomes?" In the midst of the hastening procession above the plains, a soldier whispered to his companions.
"I heard that the personality and life characteristics are similar to human beings. There are good guys and bad guys. The intra-racial world is similar to that of human society. Another soldier replied.
"The character of the dwarf people is inclined to be escapist. And I heard that the hands of the dwarf tribe are God's food and food, and there is still a big difference between them and humans. A soldier added.
Everyone walked halfway across the plain while chatting. As the sun sets: a scout party of fifty finally arrives in the dwarven town.
The town gate was guarded by dwarven soldiers, after checking their identities. Letting them in without saying anything.
"It feels so easy to enter the city." A soldier said.
Walking down the commercial street leading to the main city, the crowds on the streets were not what the soldiers had imagined: they were all dwarves less than half the height of a human. It's a mix of people of all races.
"The main city of the dwarves is the trading center of the island." Cremont looked at the alien wanderers who passed by him, and couldn't help but speak.
"Listen to Raphael: because the dwarves have developed the service industry in the main city very well. So almost no one dared to make trouble in the main city. Abel said. After a whole day of walking in the wilderness, I came to a bustling commercial street. The whole person couldn't help but become interested.
"Don't stare at the pedestrians on the street." DeWitt shook the shoulders of the two: "Every person here is good, be careful to get into trouble when you go out of the city gate. β
"Hmm." Cremont retracted his gaze and said to DeWitt, "Let's find a restaurant to live in." There is a lot of traffic here, and there may not be room left for us at night. β
"Cremont is right." Abel chimed in.
"I think I'll find a shop on this street. After all, it is close to the city center, and it is convenient to find the chamber of commerce for news after dinner. DeWitt thought for a while, then discussed.
The other two listened to him and nodded in agreement.
Next, the three of them began to take the soldiers from shop to shop to find a vacant room for lodging.
Finally, I found seven or eight vacant rooms that could accommodate 50 people at an inn called 'Zhihuakaku'.
De Witt wrote on the counter: "I finally found it." β
"Eight standard rooms, eighty silver coins." A dwarf stepped on a high stool, flicked his abacus, and said to Cremont, who was leaning against the counter.
"Ten silver coins for a night in an empty room?! Are you kidding me? Cremont said in surprise.
The dwarf in charge of settling accounts pursed his lips, didn't intend to say anything, and looked directly out of the door.
Clemmont was so angry by such a silent taunt that he took DeWitt's arm and said, "Captain DeWitt, it's really too tricky here." Let's go look elsewhere. β
Ten silver coins in Dehrim were equivalent to a month's bounty for a senior officer.
It's not worth it to stay here for one night.
"Forget it." Devit shook his head and said, "It's getting dark now, too." I don't think I can find any spare rooms anywhere else. The most important thing is to let the soldiers rest. β
Hearing DeWitt's words, CrΓ©mont could only take out a few dozen silver coins from his bosom and count them to the dwarf who was in charge of accounting at the counter.
"Go up to the second floor." The dwarf who received the money gave Clemmont a chain of keys.
