Chapter 681: Exploring the Realm Again
Jenny's hunch was confirmed the next day.
"To the hinterland of the plague again?"
Hearing the Elven Queen's words, Jenny looked up at her, then tilted her head to look at Orphin who was standing not far from the Elven Queen. She seemed a little excited and a little nervous at the moment. In the face of Jenny's inquiry, the elf queen nodded. She thought for a moment before speaking softly.
"Yes, my friend. Although we withdrew the patrol in time due to Orfin's reminder, the whereabouts of three patrols are still unknown. And according to the results of our final investigation, these three patrols are the closest to the place where Orphen and the others lost contact before. So we have reason to believe that there must be some secret hidden there. After all, according to the other retreating patrols, they didn't encounter any monsters like you, so we think Orphen and the others may have inadvertently stepped into some important place connected with this plague outbreak. Therefore, if we want to eradicate this plague completely, I am afraid that we will still have to start here to find something. So we decided to send a team there again, ............... of course."
With that, the Elven Queen glanced at Orphin.
"Orphin is still leading the team, after all, only she knows the way to get there."
I see.
Hearing the Elven Queen's answer, Jenny suddenly understood in her heart. It seems that when the other party came to him, he asked him to be the princess's guard. Sure enough, at the same time, the Elven Queen's voice rang in Jenny's ears again.
"Because it's going to be dangerous along the way. So we hope you will be able to help us, our valued guests. Now the elves are facing an existential crisis. We don't have enough strong men to withstand this catastrophe, if you will. I hope you'll be able to protect Orphen along the way. ”
As she spoke, the Elven Queen beckoned. Soon, seeing the queen's movements, an elven maid came over with a tray in her hand. On it lay a blue cloak the color of the sky, and a dark green leather armor. Next to the leather armor are two staggered short swords, their blades as if they were made of ice, showing a transparent and dazzling brilliance in the sunlight. Even if you don't activate the Evil Eye. Jenny could also feel the power contained in these equipment.
It seems that the elves are not completely ignorant of human feelings.
"This is the secret treasure of our elves, and this cloak gives the user the ability to soar through the air like a bird. And this leather armor can prevent the invasion of all toxins. The Ice Fang Blades once belonged to a brave warrior of our Elven Kingdom, and now, I present them to you, honored guest. Hopefully, they'll be in your hands and part of a new legendary epic. ”
"It is a great honour for me, Your Majesty."
Since this group of elves are willing to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, then Jenny certainly doesn't mind accepting this expensive gift. So she immediately reached out and took it. Then he replied in a low voice.
"I promise you, I won't let your efforts go to waste."
And this matter was decided.
Traveling to the plague hinterland again, of course, it is impossible to complete the task with just two people. In fact, except for Orphin as the guide and Jenny as the guardian. Three other people took part in the operation. And these three people are the three outsiders that Jenny saw in the banquet hall before.
Through the introduction of the elf queen, Jenny finally learned the true identities of these three people. That Naga was not what Jenny expected. He is a priest of the Naga clan and the son of the goddess of water, Elaine. Meantime. She's also the leader of the trio, just as people remember. This is a race with a cold temperament and is not very good at dealing with people. Therefore, this priest named Elaine is always cold, doesn't talk much, and looks like an iceberg. Even when talking to Jenny, she simply introduced herself, and then stood next to her in a daze, giving people the appearance of not knowing what she was thinking.
As for the two people who followed her, the barbarian warrior Boros was the Son of the True Eye -- I have to admit that Jenny was really taken aback when she heard the news. She couldn't imagine how much that Thom weighed in to even the savages. If the records are correct, the god incarnation of Thom the True Eye is about the same height as a normal person. And the women of the barbarian clan were at least two and a half meters tall, so she racked her brains and couldn't imagine how the two sides came together. Could it be that when the Sage came, this unlucky child accidentally fell into the barbarian gathering area for some reason, and then was forced to bow by which female barbarian overlord?
If that's the case, then I really know a great secret.
As for the last dwarf mage, Said, he is the Son of the God of the Harvest. However, his identity is somewhat unusual, different from Jenny's imagination, although he is a mage, he is also an alchemist. And it is also a constructing alchemist, this kind of alchemist itself is not strong in combat, but the strength of the constructor they create is not weak. It can be seen that the three sons sent by the Templar this time were not completely without consideration, the Naga priests were good at curing diseases and toxins, and the barbarians' strong bodies were not afraid of most diseases and pestilences. The Alchemist's construct is fundamentally non-living and is better suited to exploration in this situation. And at the same time, as a sculptor mage, he is also quite unique in mastering the elements.
Except for these five people, the elf queen did not arrange anyone else. It wasn't that she felt sorry for her subordinates, but because she was following Orfen's words. The deeper you go into the plague hinterland, the more dangerous it becomes. If there are few people, it is easier to get things done, and if there are too many people, you may fall into it and be unable to extricate yourself. So in the end, the elven queen made such a choice.
After the two sides met, there was naturally a greeting for a while, and it was at this time that Jenn learned from the barbarian warrior that they had only just arrived at the Elven Forest for only a few days, and when they first entered the Elven Forest, the three of them wanted to investigate further. But at that time, because the elf queen had already sent a patrol, they changed their attention under the queen's persuasion, and planned to wait for this group of patrols to investigate and see the situation. Unexpectedly, only Orffin came back alive in this group of patrols, so he had to go out to see the situation in person. And because of the suddenness of the incident before, Orphen didn't figure out the surrounding situation even if they were just fleeing for their lives, so they didn't have much valuable content after they came back. So far, it has only been known that the animals that die from the plague will turn into some kind of monster. Whether this is an accidental phenomenon or a consequence of the plague needs to be further confirmed.
It's no wonder that Jenny was late when she got the news from Alice, but the problem was that he had the Astral Unicorn, and a few hours of plane space jumping or something would be enough for her to run from Passus to the Elven Forest to get in trouble. And although those holy sons have divine blood, they are also two legs and one mouth, even if they ride a horse, it will take half a month to reach the Elven Forest from the Holy Country Saith. So they arrived at the Elven Forest and Jenny was actually about the same as the front and back feet, and as for Elinster, they ......... I haven't left the holy kingdom yet.
And after meeting with each other, Jenny quickly figured out the true strength of these people. The most powerful of them all was the great priest of the Naga clan. It's almost the level of the middle of the legend. And that barbarian warrior can be regarded as the level of the awakening element that has just stepped into the legendary realm. Only the strength of that dwarf mage is not very strong, and Dingtian has only touched the threshold of legend, and he has not even awakened the element. However, Jenn will not despise the other party because of this, just constructing the alchemist itself is enough to make many people unable to eat and walk away.
And among these people, the worst strength is naturally Orphen, as the second princess of the elven kingdom, her own strength has only just reached a high-level level, and the most depressing thing is that Orphin is still a druid. The profession itself is very demanding in terms of environment, and in that plague land, almost all the natural elements have withered, and there is no room for Orphin to play at all, which is one of the main reasons why those patrols are wiped out. After all, without the support of the natural elements, their own strength obviously had no chance of winning against those terrifying monsters full of danger and toxins.
Orphin was obviously worried about this combination, but Jenny didn't pay much attention to it. War prevention, fire law, divine pastoralism, wild virtue and survival are enough for a wave of five people to sit in a row to open up the wasteland.
After all, a five-person squad is a big killer.........
Unbeknownst to Jenny, however, as they set off to leave the Heart of the Tree and head to the heart of the forest again, a mysterious group of uninvited guests appeared near the canyon.
"This is it?"
Looking at the land and canyon in front of him, which had been completely depleted and looked like a complete destruction, the dark figure led by him spoke in a hoarse, deep voice. Then he raised his right hand, which was withered, with only knuckles remaining, and tapped it lightly toward the void. Soon, the next moment, a black evil talisman appeared in the air, and then quickly dissipated. Seeing this scene, the dark figure couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
"Very good......... Well, everything goes according to plan. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying wail suddenly appeared from below the dark figure, and then he saw ghosts rushing out of the shadows and scattering in all directions. After only a few moments, everything was gone, and the silence was restored to its original state again. (To be continued.) )
