Beyond the Koh-i-Noor, the adventurers officially entered the territory of the elves. Roads can already be seen in the vast field, and pedestrians appear on the roads from time to timeβfrom palm-sized goblins with dragonfly-like wings to elves that look like humans but are slightly more slender and petite.
Probably because they live in peace all year round, both goblins and elves lack a sense of crisis and vigilance, and instead of being defenseless against their gang of guys who know at a glance that they are of unknown origin, they greet them politely, without asking them where they are from, where they are going, and what they are going to do.
"These guys...... It's really laid-back! Long Biao sighed, "Born in sorrow and dying in peace, I think if the Battle of Ragnarok starts, the elves will definitely suffer heavy casualties." β
"Who's to say it isn't. But that's their business after all, and it has nothing to do with us. Zhang Channian said indifferently, picking a few fruits from a fruitful tree next to him and putting one of them into his mouth.
"Hmm...... It's so sweet! It's a good fruit! He was pleasantly surprised, and ran over to pick a lot of them, and threw them at everyone. Adventure 63
"The springs are sweet, the land is fertile, and there are many fruit trees growing naturally on the roadside, and the elves may live by eating the fruit, and there are such strong people sitting on the border. Born in such an environment, it is difficult to be unremitting! Cheng Peng also sighed, took the fruit thrown by Zhang Channian and ate it.
This unknown fruit is indeed delicious, crunchy and sweet, with both the aroma of nuts and the crisp sweetness of fruits, which is a rare delicacy! Even though Cheng Peng is not a greedy person, he can't help but plan to secretly collect some, and if he has the opportunity to entertain his friends, he can save a little more face.
But before he could put the fruit away, Richard said coldly: "This fruit is indeed delicious, but if anyone has the idea of taking it away without eating it, then please keep it for himself." β
"What do you mean?" Zhang Channian asked very unkindly.
"The fruit of the elves, just eat it, and want to steal it? After all these years from the age of mythology, have you ever heard of anyone outside of Yalfheim who can enjoy these fruits? Richard looked at the turtle with disdain, "You just take them with you, it won't be long before you become a fruit tree." β
These words were really thunderous, so frightened that Zhang Channian almost threw away the fruit in his hand, and everyone was also taken aback, and they all looked at Richard.
"Don't believe me? If you don't believe me, just try, it's nothing less than one or two people anyway. β
Of course, people don't dare to try it - although it is said that the player is immortal, there are occasional cases where they are sealed. Some unlucky ghosts will even be sealed for many days, and will eventually return to the resurrection point during the game system's semi-monthly self-check.
If you are turned into a tree for just a few fruits, if you stay here for half a month, you will definitely become a laughing stock for everyone!
Along the way, it gradually prospered, and everyone even saw some small elf villages in the distance. These villages are built in a grove of trees, which are made up of large trees transformed into tree houses, where elves and leprechauns live leisurely and happily, like the most beautiful idyll.
They did not enter the villages, but avoided each village far away under Richard's leadership, avoiding too much contact with the elves.
After walking on the road for two days, a vast dense forest appeared in front of me, and the trees in this dense forest were very strange, whether the trunk, branches, or leaves of the trees were faintly golden, and it seemed as if the whole forest was made of gold.
"This forest is so strange." Zhang Channian, who has always been curious, muttered that he planned to go over to see what was going on, but was stopped by Cheng Peng.
"Don't go! I'm afraid it's the Golden Forest! β
"Haha! You're clever! Richard, who was watching coldly, did not stop Zhang Channian's recklessness before, and did not speak until this time, "That is the Golden Forest, I said before that the military camp of the elf clan. Don't look at it, it seems to be empty, but there are elven warriors living in the woods, and I don't know how many there are, anyway, it will definitely be enough to kill us. β
"Don't look at me like that, don't ask me about the details inside, anyway, I'm not going to go."
Because the only way was through the forest, everyone had to leave the main road and travel far around the Golden Forest, so they made a big circle. Even though they were already moving fast, it took them three days to leave the woods, which seemed to be made of gold, and return to the road leading to the capital of the Elven Nation.
After two days of walking along the only road, Richard finally decided to let the whole party rest in a passing elven town, on the grounds that "I'm almost in the City of Trees, I'll have to sort out the information, re-review it, and make some adjustments to the plan, so I'll give you a vacation, I'm very kind." β
"This guy definitely had a bad mouth in his last life!" Wang Hu said viciously. Adventure 63
"He'll die of bad mouth in this life, I promise!" Zhang Channian said gloomily.
"I've seen a slut, but I've never seen such a slut!" Xiao Moran said with a sneer.
"He thinks he has eaten us - isn't there a famous saying in the East, villains are rampant when they get their will." John said angrily.
Cheng Peng did not participate in the verbal criticism of Richard, he had already taken a step forward and came to the town square to hang out.
This town is very small, and naturally there are no attractions such as "commercial street" and "food street", except for the food shops on the roadside, the stalls in the square are all the remaining commercial "sex" facilities.
However, there are quite a few stalls in these stalls, and there are a variety of things for sale, which look quite prosperous, but they are a little bloody. The value of fighting.
If there are girls here, they will definitely be attracted by those delicate elven ornaments; If you have a gourmet, be sure to try the secret wines and special pastries of the elves; If there are militants here, be sure to carefully select two high-quality weapons from the elves...... However, Cheng Peng is not too interested in these, he enjoys the stroll itself - of course, if there are good things, you might as well enjoy one or two.
The recuperation after the long journey made him feel very good, and he was much more generous in his hands, and along the way, he bought good things casually, and tasted a little delicious food when he saw them, and in a short time, he had bought a lot. So he went to the bench under the statue in the center of the square, with a small glass of emerald mulled wine in his right hand and several delicate pastries on his left, and began to enjoy them intently.
"These things are really good." One of the tourists, who was sitting on a bench next to him, apparently half-drunk, smiled and said to him, "What a rare vacation! Sure enough, this kind of town is more leisurely, and there are too many rules in the City of Trees, which is not suitable for rough people like us at all! β
Cheng Peng felt that this voice was a little familiar, and when he looked at it, he was suddenly startled.
The man was dressed in red armor, his face was dignified and handsome, and his soft blonde hair looked a little weak, but a few inconspicuous scars on his face added a lot of manliness to him. If you look closely, you can see that his armor is also not obviously damaged, and it is clear that he has experienced many battles. After a hundred battles, the blonde young man naturally "revealed" a calm and strong temperament, which made him even more handsome.
This person, Cheng Peng knows.
His name is Lucio, and he had been by the side of Renas, the goddess of war, in the ruins of Akudeon, and had fought with them!
Lucio obviously didn't recognize Cheng Peng - the last time they met, Cheng Peng was dressed in golden armor, brave and unstoppable, like a legendary knight hero. But this time, he was dressed in casual clothes, sitting on a bench drinking sweet wine and eating pastries, just like a rich young master everywhere. The two identities are so different, especially their temperaments are very different, unless they are friends who are very familiar with Cheng Peng, there are really few people who can recognize him at a glance - not to mention that Lucio is still drunk.
So instead of drawing his sword and fighting, Lucio laughed merrily, chattering like an old friend......
ββββββ
Well...... Is it a general ending or a true ending?
It's a bit of a dilemma......
