Vol 2 Chapter 43: Elves in the Cloud Crown Tree (Part 1)

No matter how much doubt about Loren's way, Liya can only choose to believe this wizard at present-as he said, winter is about to leave, and the elves of Morning Star Forest have little time.
After winning the initial goodwill of the elf elders and presenting some "not worth mentioning" meeting gifts, they finally got the status of "guest" and were allowed to temporarily live in the cloud crown tree and accompanied by elves. , You can visit the entire settlement at will.
And the "generous gift" of this dark-haired wizard also made the elves treat him and Yan Yue a lot. After all, it is really difficult for you to be hostile to a guest who comes with kindness, especially those gifts are all the most urgently needed by the elves. thing.
No matter how prosperous the ancient wood forest is, all kinds of minerals in this land are extremely rare, and it is impossible to forge weapons without iron ingots; and delicate leather armor also requires a long production cycle, and healing medicines are also in short supply for them. These are not "little gifts" that can be taken out easily.
Although you can still feel the mistrust of the elves to these people, Loren is not worried-it is not a one-time thing to establish friendship, not to mention that between two completely different races, you need more patience Just fine.
Now we just need to wait for Duke Lothal to nod and send the first batch of supporting materials to Morning Star Forest. Of course, it certainly won't come without a price, but that has nothing to do with Loren. He is just the messenger of Ruben Frid. The important thing of the alliance between the two sides is not what he can say.
On a cloud-crown tree on a sunny day, several young elves with spears are practicing under the leadership of an elder, their slender figures on the branches running flat, each facing the "instructor" from different directions Stabbed.
Elder elves were empty-handed, even with their hands behind their backs, stepping on the swaying branches under their feet to dodge the spiked spears; only when three spears appeared at the same time would they jump from the branches and immediately Once again surrounded by the young elves.
And not far away, while several elves quickly shuttled between the branches and the trees, they raised their guns and threw them at the wooden target standing in the center. The sound of the shower echoed, and the entire wooden target was almost inserted. It's not easy to find a gap full of guns.
Lorren, who was just casually looking at it, finally finally observed it carefully. His dark pupil carefully analyzed every movement of these elves. The light pace and vigorous figure were like leaves dancing in the wind.
"How do you feel, this is how our elves fight."
Unknown when Luca stood beside Loren, he smiled gently: "Unlike you humans, our enemies are monsters that are much larger than us. There is absolutely no chance of confrontation in the face of such enemies. . "
"But the forest is our comrade-in-arms. With the power of the ancient wood forest, even the weak can fight in front of the ogres."
Said that Luca handed his spear and lance to Loren. The dark-haired wizard carefully looked at the weapon in his hand-the gun barrel was very strong, it should be made of very old wood, and it was treated with care; and the gun tip was specially forged, and it looked like a handle The slightly shorter dagger is unusually sharp.
The other gun is much shorter, only about one meter, but the tip of the gun occupies a quarter, and the shape is more similar to a triangular cone; and all the wood of the barrel is much harder than the spear, and the weight is also partial Sink a little.
"We fight with lances and ogres, this weapon can cut their flesh and tendons, and give them blood; while the gun can penetrate their bodies, and when they are lucky, they can be fatal!"
"A very interesting way of fighting." Loren's mouth with a spear in his hand raised a smile: "Can all elves fight this way with ogres?"
"Only part of it can be done." Luca shook his head bitterly. "The vast majority of fighters can only use the cover of the forest to harass their actions with throwing guns and traps. If they want to kill the ogres, they still need to. War dancers. "
"Like Miss Lia?"
"She is a natural war dancer. When I was so old in Liya, I am afraid that I would not even be able to reprimand her-even now, it is only a matter of time before she surpasses me."
As he said, Luca took another spear from the side, with a smile on his face: "Will you give me a try, Lord Loren?"
"How could it be refused?" The black-haired wizard changed his robe to reveal the armor below, and carried his spear upside down to pose exactly like the elf: "I hope you can correct me a lot."
"my pleasure."
The two people who were less than ten steps apart faced each other. Although their expressions were very relaxed, they didn't even blink their eyes.
"Dang!"
The tip of the gun suddenly provoked on the tree trunk, and Luca with the roaring sound moved first.
Lorren threw the right-handed shot without hesitation, lifted the spear flat and stepped back. Luca, who escaped the shooting, did not hesitate, approaching Loren like a shadow, and the two were less than three steps away in a flash!
Lorren with a spear in front of him kept moving in the side direction. Thunder-like gunpoints exploded into the pits in the trunk behind him, but he couldn't really hit him.
Turned sideways, avoiding the spear that was head-on. Luca's left hand held the barrel of the gun, and from the bottom to the top, a half-arc was thrust into Loren's head!
It is impossible for a close-up black-haired wizard to block this with a gun barrel. If he dodges it, he will be directly swept into the back with the gun barrel and fall directly from the branch to the ground.
Suddenly, Loren put away the spear, held the end of the gun head with his left hand, and swept up with the tail of the gun shaft. With the roar of the tearing air, aimed at Luca's cheek!
The frightened elf immediately took the point of the spear and blocked it in front of him. Finally, Loren found the gap, turned to hide, and reopened the distance.
"You must also be very good at fighting, right?" Luca, who held the gun in both hands, raised the corner of his mouth, and his low body pressed the tip of the gun to his feet: "But when fighting the ogre, this pull The distance tactics are useless-the more you fear the enemy, the more you will be defeated by fear. "
"Only constant approach and continuous attack is the key to winning!"
Luca in the discourse had already launched an offensive again, and the violent figure rushed forward, and the spear in his hand approached quickly under his feet.
Just when Loren thought that the opponent would stab himself from bottom to top ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Lucca jumped suddenly, the spear dancing in the air like a full moon, with an unmatched momentum from the air Swing down!
The calm-haired dark-haired wizard held the gun backhand, and the long gun in his hand cut a semi-arc, piercing his eyebrow at the moment Luca was about to fall.
This is clearly the trick I just used!
Luka, who had wide-eyed eyes, was too late to stop, and the stabbing spear stopped in the air. He picked up the gun just to stop his gun, but he just hit Loren's chest. The huge inertia almost killed the two. Fall together.
Some shocked Luka is standing on the edge of a tree branch. If you are the only one you can find a way to borrow even if you fall, but the human beside me ...
Looked back, but what he saw was that the restored Loren was leaning on the tree trunk, carefully observing the spear in his hand, as if there was any new discovery.
"I thought that this weapon should be biased. I didn't expect it to be balanced to this point-even if I held the gun's tail, there would be no extra weight." The dark-haired wizard with wide-eyed eyes looked curiously: " Is it really a craft beyond imagination, is it because of the material of the gun barrel? "
Luka, who smiled bitterly, shrugged: "I don't know, the craftsmen are responsible for making the spear."
"Your combat experience is really amazing. I am the first person to see a man who can learn to use a spear so quickly." Luca's expression is somewhat complicated: "If you are an elf, it must be inferior to Li Ya War Dancer! "
"Hmm ... I don't think she likes you saying that." Loren, who chuckled, threw the spear at Luca, tossed another on the ground with his toes, and held it in the air in a circle.
"Do you want to come again, Lord Luca, the war dancer?"
