Arad's Sword

Chapter 29 Breakthrough

The caravan was placed in an open space about 300 meters away from the residence of the elf tribe. Of course, guards called guards are actually monitoring guards. Of course, there are secret sentries that will never tell you. However, But it has not reached the point where free movement is prohibited.

To some extent, the elegant and proud elves are indeed better traders. At least, as long as they agree to the transaction, they will not make any insidious actions.Compared with unscrupulous human beings, this is undoubtedly a shining character.

When the old team leader came over, it was natural that he really came to do business. For such things as cover-ups, doing a fake show is the highest level.

The goods this time are all selected from the warehouse of the Alvin Chamber of Commerce, with the support of the Asrex family, practical bows and crossbows, some delicious specialty foods and fruits, plus various alchemy Medicines, etc., soon attracted many elves to come to trade.

For the "guards" like Midi, now is the time when they can hang out with nothing to do, which is the beginning of serious business.

"In short, try to establish a good relationship first, avoid causing alertness, and bring more candy. Every elf likes that kind of thing, even if it is an elf over a hundred years old. It is best to ask those 'children of the forest' when you get lost. For example, those in the Storm Squad." Midi carefully instructed, although the four of them had received training from the old team leader along the way, it was a quick process after all, so it would be good to say a few more words, even if it was nonsense.

"Which information and details need special attention?" Sigmund, who has always been cautious, made the final confirmation.

"The magic vein, there is only one most important thing, the magic vein." Midi replied bluntly.

If you find the magic vein, you will find the witch.

This is a classic summary from the mouth of the Mist Witch Alice in the previous life, and Midi naturally regards it as the truth.

Although talking clichés and developing eyeliner have certain effects, but first of all, Fina and the others are adventurers, not spies. In the final analysis, humans can't do anything in the elf tribe. Every move is too conspicuous, sure. Can't expect results.

Besides, Meddy knew Alice too well.

With the character of the Mist Witch who likes to hide behind the scenes and finds everything troublesome, she will only try to avoid being known by outsiders as much as possible, instead of publicizing her existence.The awe of elves?The aura of the ruler?To Alice, that was complete rubbish.

Although she is a substantive ruler, the only ones who really know her are the elders of the elf tribe, and that level is obviously not within the reach of this small convoy.

Therefore, although Midi's strategy is to learn from the elf tribe, what he wants is not direct clues, but indirect ones.

In short, it is the magic vein.

Under the Nibelungen Dragon Sealing Formation of the Principality of Belle Mare, there is a magic vein that stretches for thousands of kilometers. This magic vein is called the dragon vein.However, more often, most of the magic veins exist in the form of a small point, a small section, or a small area. They are intertwined with mineral veins, underground rivers, caves, etc., and they are riverbeds and lakes where magic power accumulates. .

Although these magic veins are small, overall they greatly affect the ecological environment of the entire region, and controlling them is equivalent to controlling the land, forests, herds of beasts, mountains, and even the corresponding airspace.

By setting up a diversion magic array on each magic vein, the magic power flowing in the magic vein can be directed to the designated direction. Thousands of small streams gather together to form a large river, a large lake, or even an ocean. .And the person who can manipulate the magic power gathered together is the real master of the land worthy of the name.

For example, the Witch of the Mist, Alice? Outropos.

With just a spell, a gesture, or even a thought, she can make this forest like spring all the year round, with flowers blooming everywhere; Make guidance, thus causing ethnic struggles and even wars.

This is the most efficient, powerful and perfect way to use the magic power of this area, and it is an extremely powerful behavior that directly controls nature.

In contrast, the aristocrats occupied land by building castles and armies, then established various exorbitant tax systems, and finally declared themselves "lords", which seemed so primitive and low-level.

It is precisely because the magic power of the entire area was turned into a force by Alice, so this forest has withstood the catastrophe of the fire from the sky, and even lasted for a long time during the massive invasion of the Delos Empire. At least, when the capital of the Principality of Belmar fell, the Witch's Mansion still existed.

As a reborn person with a second awakening and a good vision, in retrospect, Midi realized that Alice, who kept silent most of the time, "either not talking, or speaking to make people mad", could only use deep Unfathomable to describe.

Of course, controlling the magic vein is not without weaknesses.

If they invaded the forest from the outside, found out the locations of the magic veins one by one, and then destroyed the diversion circle, dismantling it like a cocoon, it would still be possible to drag the "Master of the Forest" from his throne.

However, the premise is of course that it can withstand the counterattack of the forest lord.

After all, no one sits around waiting for their magic power to be cut off piece by piece.

Midi intends to start with this feature to find where Alice is.

Of course, he didn't mean to destroy the diversion circle, but by detecting the flow direction of the magic power in the magic vein, he could reverse its end point until he found the location of the witch's mansion and the location of the witch.

However, even this plan encountered serious setbacks in the first few days.

Regarding the magic vein, no matter whether they are adults, children, men, women, or children, the elves are silent.

It's not that he noticed the extremely cryptic clichés of Midi and others, but because it seems to be a taboo topic that should be avoided in the tradition of the elf tribe.

They didn't know the existence of the Mist Witch, and they didn't understand the significance of the magic vein to Alice. However, they naturally avoided related topics. To a certain extent, this was no longer a concealment, but a human People have formed the habit.

Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to obtain information about the magic vein. If you ask forcibly, you will only expose your flaws, and you may be kicked out of the village. In the worst case, you may even become an enemy.

Facing this impenetrable cultural wall, the progress of inquiring about information has almost come to a standstill.

Precious time is passing by every minute and every second, day by day.However, Midi still maintains a calm mind. He believes that even if it is tradition and habit, there are still opportunities to cut in.

In this way, three days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, the open space where the caravan was located became the favorite place of the elves, and although Midi and the others failed to collect effective information from their wanderings, they At least it's familiar.When the elves saw the black-haired boy and the red-haired girl now, although many still chose to keep their distance, at least few of them showed the obvious defensive expression.

The proud fruit candy of the Principality of Bel Mare played a major role in it. In addition, Fina's appearance and temperament, which are enough to make even elf beauties feel ashamed, and her iconic red hair are another major reason.

Everyone loves beauty, elves love beauty more, and a human girl who is more beautiful than elves is undoubtedly the most likely to cause topics.Fortunately, the elves don't know much about nobility, class, titles, etc. Otherwise, the surname Hamilton might cause a sensation.

On the fourth day of coming to the elf tribe, Midi was going to change her strategy. Instead of searching in the village, she went to wander in the forest to see if she could find some traces of the magic vein directly.

Just when Midi was about to drag Fina out, the quarrel and noise came from outside the shop set up by the old team leader.

"Someone is causing trouble?" This was the first reaction of Midi and Fina. The boy and the girl looked at each other, and instead of rushing away, they separated in a very tacit understanding. It's a standard fighting stance.

However, after looking over it, Midi discovered that this was not a dispute between humans and elves, but a quarrel within the elves.

On one side is the captain of the Gale Squad, the extremely arrogant elf roaming gunner, I remember his name is Beryl.On the other side, there was an elf who looked very young, with short hair that was almost platinum.The two seemed to be arguing about something, while the old team leader was caught in the middle with a wry smile, holding a slightly curved long sword with a blood-red edge in his hand.

"That is... the Blade of the Soul?" Midi vaguely remembered that it was a top-quality long sword suitable for ordinary swordsmen and ghost swordsmen.

After all, for Midi, who has experienced the second awakening, even if she is reborn, no matter how good the low-level weapons are, they still cannot catch the eye.Powerful ghosts and gods, perfect job transfer, team cooperation and army command, all of these make Midi decide to focus on improving her own strength and accumulating knowledge instead of relying on equipment.

But obviously, other people don't think so. There are many people who want to rely on equipment, such as the two in front of them.

"Dillin, you are just an ordinary patrol member. It would be too wasteful to entrust you with the Mind Breaking Blade." Captain Galewind said in a mocking tone.

The young elf puffed up his chest and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Captain Beryl, even if it is an ordinary patrol team, we are working hard in our own way, and the pursuit of greater power is not the privilege of the elites. "

"I can understand, but don't you know how to take the overall situation into consideration?" Beryl shrugged, and the members of the Storm Squad who followed laughed even more.

"But you are not even a swordsman. You are a wandering archer. What do you need a sword for?" Dillin couldn't help retorting.

"The best swordsman in my team is also the best swordsman in the entire clan. He really needs a handy weapon. After all, we are patrolling the most dangerous areas, and we are facing the most dangerous monsters and enemies." Bei Ruier emphasized several "most" words, making Dilling speechless for a moment.

But he is not willing to give up this weapon at all. After all, this is a good sword that cannot be forged within the elf tribe. Only the mines on human territory can extract that rare metal and forge it. For elf swordsmen, It is something that can be encountered but not sought after.

Besides, he had already negotiated the price of this split-blade soul blade with human merchants. Because it was too expensive, Dillin had to go back to the village to piece things together and sell himself and a few friends for two years. All the rare materials accumulated over the years were all exchanged.

But unexpectedly, when he came with the materials, Beryl actually stepped in.

How can he bear it, how can he let it go?
The two couldn't stop arguing.

Midi looked at it for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up—isn't this the "opportunity" she wanted to find with all her heart!

If there is no opportunity, then create an opportunity. This is the correct approach. What's the use of just waiting?

At this moment, the dispute between the two elves made Midi immediately see a huge hidden loophole in the so-called unanimous elf tribe.In the blink of an eye, relying on the experience of various conflicts she had seen as an adventurer in her previous life, Midi had conceived a brilliant plan.

"There is no need to argue about this matter. In my opinion, this sword is very suitable for this Mr. Dilling."

In the midst of the dispute, Midi's calm voice sounded. In an instant, all eyes of the two parties and the elves watching were focused on the black-haired boy.

"Humans, this is a matter for our elf tribe. Why do you join in?" Beryl narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
