Vol 6 Chapter 26: Over the mountain, over the sea

Although Ruben Friede tried every means to retain it, and used barrels of mead to knock down half of his entourage, the mission set off early the next morning.
Before entering the forest, Lorrent ordered all the horses to be left, and everyone walked on their bags. This is a very difficult task for the Bayerns of the Knights ’Country to let them give up their mounts, but it is necessary. .
Without him, in the rugged and narrow paths of the ancient wood forest and the dark and terrible jungle, the cavalry is an absolute living target; and walking on foot is also a kind of "showing good" to the elves, proving that they are not hostile. .
It may not matter in the past, but if Lu Wen said, even the elves of Morning Star Forest began to block their settlements, it is very necessary.
"... So, as the elves throughout the ancient wood forest began to be hostile to humans for certain things, trying to avoid any actions that would anger them and win their favor at the same time was the first priority of our trip."
The black-haired wizard raised his head while talking, and looked at the continuous line of missions behind him. The heavily armed Baien knights carried their bags and watched the left and right sides with great vigilance. It was as easy as a picnic:
"Of course, if something is unavoidably violated in the end, then we have to let our great Lord Ain Rand come forward to resolve the misunderstanding between the empire and the ancient wood forest elves; maybe you can really become Save the benefactor of the whole empire, Ain! "
"Joke me there again." The little-faced little wizard turned his head deliberately and ignored him: "Really, save the empire ... how exaggerated."
"This is not an exaggeration, this is a fact." Loren sighed and said seriously: "If there is an accident, then all of us can only rely on you-even if they forget something else, they will not forget it. What have you promised? "
All ancient wood forest elves who have fought blood in the big tree wall are obliged to die once for Ain Rand ... this is the original word of a female elf.
Fighting side by side with the war dancers and winning the Ogre Invasion; but what really impressed them and was unforgettable was that somebody was always busy in the back line, saving thousands of war dances Or, the humble little wizard.
Not only that, in the early days of the Principality of Lothal and the Ancient Wood Forest, Ain was always responsible for the mediation and negotiation between the two parties. The familiarity of the elves to her was far more than her "coming and going" comrade.
Of course, despite the close relationship, Loren's original first person should be the young priest Weber-compared with this "professional", the small wizard is definitely not as good as his eloquence and persuading others to believe in himself.
The priest who can make the elves believe in the Holy Cross, wants to let the other party put down their guard, and believe in themselves ... It is not too easy.
The dark-haired wizard shook his head, flashing back the big eyes of a little priest who were always sincere, clear and talking.
It's a pity ... in the face of the continuous suppression and various demands of the Holy Cross Church, I must install a sufficiently powerful bishop in the Bayern Church; at the same time, I must rely on Weber's various church reforms to replace myself and the Union Chamber of Commerce. Things that embezzle church property are "missed."
"Well, uh ... since you mentioned the importance of your trip to this trip, Ain, there is one more thing ..."
The whispering dark-haired wizard wanted to ask, but he was a little embarrassed and a little difficult to tell.
"Huh?" The little wizard who turned around looked at him with his head tilted, blinking ignorantly.
"Something?"
"No, it's okay!" Loren immediately vetoed, and smiled and scratched his head: "I just wanted to ask, before leaving, Charlotte ... what did you two say?"
"Charlotte? Loren, you ..."
The little wizard frowned slightly, and then his eyes were rounded: "Ah ... that's how it is!"
"You keep talking all the way, just want to know this ?!"
Ok?
The dark-haired wizard's expression was stunned, and he just wanted to explain something, but when he saw Ayn's sudden expression, he decided to give up again.
"It's not that exaggerated, it's ... curious."
A little stiff smile squeezed out, and Loren waved his hand: "So ... what the are you talking about?"
"Loren Turin ..." The little wizard hugged his shoulders and glanced at him with a snort: "What else can you do? 'Follow this guy, you can't relax for a minute'," Be alert at all times, don't Let him take risks on his own initiative ',' Be sure to pay attention to safety '... these words of concern. "
"... really?"
"Of course it's fake!" Ai Yin turned his head: "Who doesn't know how you bastard, how much you like to make others worry about you! Shire and I just talked about the elves and apologized for the previous move. Only, who will talk about you all the time! "
"Oh, that's the case ..." The black-haired wizard chuckled, and then suddenly reacted, his expression stiffened:
"Wait ... Shire ?!"
what's going on?
"Well, don't you know?" The little wizard blinked and looked at him suspiciously: "Charlotte is her official name. When she was a child, her family called her Shire."
When I was young ... the family ...
Loren's expression was even more dazed.
When are the two of them ...
"When a certain duke often leaves the castle and runs around ..." Ain, who noticed the expression of the black-haired wizard, smirked a sly smile on his lips, deliberately showing a proud look:
"Well, it's almost a good friend who has nothing to say."
"..." Loren Turin.
"The object she worshiped when she was a child was the tenth-generation Queen Mad Dragon Charlotte I; that's why she took the name; dreaming of becoming a monarch, poet, artist and collector like her."
Ai Yin's voice was very light, and the smiling expression seemed as if Charlotte was standing in front of herself at this moment: "She had dreamed of becoming the first female knight king in history!"
The dark-haired wizard nodded silently, and he absolutely believed, and had no doubt that she would succeed.
"She's a bit stubborn, but it's not completely unreasonable; sometimes she has prejudices on some things and people, but this is unavoidable-all people have their own cognitive limitations on everything."
With his lips pursed, the little wizard with his hands on his back looked fascinated, as if looking at some delicate ceramic with pity: "She armed herself very powerfully, she is indeed very powerful, but ..."
"It's just a girl who has too much experience and carries too much."
Loren looked at the little wizard with a daze:
"Ayin, what ... what do you want to say?"
"It's nothing, I just said Charlotte is a good girl." The little wizard said softly: "What you usually see is the way she desperately disguised it."
With a corner of his mouth, Loren chose to remain silent—at this time, he really didn't know what to say.
The two calmed down and walked in silence. Even in the lonely jungle, insects could be heard, and behind them was the heavy walking sound of the team.
"Loren."
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, the little wizard said abruptly.
"how?"
"why me?"
"Huh? This ... I explained this." The black-haired wizard replied with a smile: "That's because Ain, you are among the elves ..."
"Nonsense."
Ok?
The interrupted Loren raised his eyebrows.
"If a big bad guy can persuade a group of elves who don't even know him, go fight a fight they have never heard of." Ai Yin said lightly:
"That's just what makes it difficult for the other party to believe in themselves again?"
Loren stunned, then squeezed a smile stiffly: "Well ... if it can be less troublesome, it will be less troublesome, not to mention that I don't get so smooth every time, there is always a time of failure ..."
"Isaac, Charles, Dalton, even ... Charlotte." The little wizard with low eyebrows murmured softly: "If any of them comes, it should be more than I am standing here. Is it useful? "
The stretch of forest trails walked like a pedestrian who never walked to the end.
"Maybe."
The dark-haired wizard said calmly: "Maybe it really is."
Ayin's expression grew dim.
"But I can't imagine that Isaac was able to put down the shelf, get in touch with the elven pharmacists, and even talk about what the wind and wind would look like." Loren said sharply:
"I can't imagine that Charles, who is always personable, is muddy in the forest, rushing forward with his luggage on his back, and also bandaging wounds for the wounded;"
"As for the Dalton mentor ... well, he is very powerful, but there is no place for him to lurk in the ancient wood forest, because the war dancers are more familiar with it; he is good at insight into human nature, but he is not good at using this, otherwise he is not good As for being used by Rout Infinite. "
"And Charlotte Turin-I do n’t doubt how good our good Countess of the Red Blood Castle is, how good they are at mediating and arranging; The elven elves negotiate ... well, I am worried that tomorrow the empire will have to declare war on the ancient wood forest. "
"Poof—!"
Before Loren had finished speaking, the little wizard could not help laughing.
"No one is worthless-you can use the most ordinary things to impress thousands of elves and make them want to die for you once; I ca n’t do it, I ca n’t do it for anyone else. "" Loren stared at her eyes, her voice softly:
"Break the gap, trust each other, let go of scruples and controversies ... this is the greatest miracle!"
The dark-haired wizard said this sincerely.
The little wizard pressed his lips tightly from beginning to end, saying nothing.
At this moment, Luisen, who was at the front of the team, suddenly stopped and ran his right hand to stop the Byrne Knight behind him.
The movement in front stopped all the missions that stretched on the trail.
"Hey?" The little wizard was stunned for a moment. "It shouldn't be within the range of the Morning Star Forest, why ..."
The next second, she was interrupted.
"Straight ahead, left and right wings, someone is approaching-enemy attack!"
The shouting gray pupil's double swords came out of the sheath and stopped at the front of the team: "Bairen, take the battle-ready to meet the enemy!"
At the same time as the roar sounded, the Bayern knights in the queue had dropped their rucksacks and turned their backs to each other, while spreading out but still tacitly and uniformly forming a circle, surrounding the dark-haired wizard in the center.
Under the cold helmet, a pair of sharp eyes passed through the flat swords of both hands, staring at every move in the surrounding jungle.
Around the towering ancient trees of the Panlong Wolong, except for the grass that was touched by the breeze, no movement or sound could be heard.
The expressionless dark-haired wizard quietly blocked the little wizard behind him, his eyes slightly raised, and he swept to a branch not far away.
A leaf fell on the empty branch.
"Someone, on it--!"
I do n’t know who said the first sentence first. All the Bayern knights pulled out their crossbows at the same time and aimed the cold arrows at the surrounding treetops.
The next second, in the dense surrounding forest, almost every tree appeared a few faintly visible figures.
Sharp eyes have surrounded the entire mission from all directions.
It's like looking at the prey that is about to arrive.
The knights of Bain stared wide, and the first time they saw the elves really surprised them, and many people even showed a trance expression.
Loren, who slightly raised the corner of his mouth, withdrew his gaze, patted Lusien's shoulder gently, and turned his gaze straight ahead under the nervous look of the gray pupil.
A thin, tall figure was approaching them from the front.
Slender and slender figure, melon seeds-like pointed ears, the tip of the red-red spear in the hand, the tip of the willow-shaped spear, and the back is also wrapped with a skin of animal skin, tied with a few shorter shots.
The fiery red horsetail is as dazzling as a flying swallowtail flag.
"This is an ancient wood forest, which belongs to the land where our morning star forest settles."
"The lord of Shenlinbao did not tell you ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Has the forest been blocked? No humans can enter until we officially announce the lifting of the blockade."
"Dare to step forward half a step, the dancer's spear will penetrate your heart!"
The icy words were sharper than the point of the gun in her hand; the eyes of the grandmother's green suddenly shrunk when she noticed the dark-haired wizard.
"Yes, Ruben Friede told us, but we are still going to check it out with our own eyes and confirm it ourselves."
Quietly speaking, the dark-haired wizard stepped forward, staring at the eyes of the emerald eyes: "Look at the stars of the Morning Star Forest, do you remember their friends."
The thin figure trembled slightly, as if breathing had stopped.
It seemed as if I couldn't believe the person in front of me, which was exactly the same as the one in my memory, and I even stepped back subconsciously.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm pretty now."
"Liya."
