Carry the Ring of Elden with you

"Horascus, leave that knight in golden armor to me alone." As soon as Gerolul's words came out, Horascus covered her forehead.She knew that her good friend's unwillingness to admit defeat was beginning to cause trouble.

After the two Homeless Knights heard Jerolul's words, the eyes of the Homeless Knights under their helmets were a little strange, and then they looked at Jerolul with a look of gloating.

They looked at each other, and one of them got up and left, preparing to go to the church to ask if there was any extra grace of red dew drops.If the guard of the big tree was careless and seriously injured this elf with thin arms and legs, he could be saved by a drop of red dew.

Master Guard Fernandi hung the golden halberd on his back and only took out the golden tree shield as his weapon.

Since Master Roland said not to beat the opponent to death, nothing would happen if he hit him with a shield.That's what he thought.

The big tree guard was very fast, and he saw the situation in front of the library in a blink of an eye.Because Jerolul and the others had a tacit understanding with the Homeless Knights not to use area-of-effect destructive skills, there were only a few cracks on the bluestone on the ground, and even the most serious damage was caused by Kahn Hammer hitting it with his battle axe. Daokouzi.

He slightly slowed down the speed of the war horse under his crotch. The burly tauren warriors lying on the ground and groaning now became roadblocks hindering the progress of the big tree guards.

The big tree guard held the reins, carefully and quickly passed over these tauren, and then charged in front of Zero Luer.

Do you think I can't react at this speed?

Jerolul nimbly and easily dodged the impact of the big tree guard sideways, trying to knock the opponent off his horse with a double-headed sword while the opponent adjusted his direction.

Don’t think that the elves’ thin arms and legs can’t produce amazing power.Once again, they are a race favored by the God of Creation. As long as they are willing, they can weigh as little as a feather and walk on the snow without leaving a trace. The instant burst of power from their arms that don't seem to have much muscle also makes many human warriors say it is impossible. .

Jerolul was still worried that the blade would hurt someone, so she slapped the back of the big tree guard with the back of the double-headed sword.

But what she didn't expect was that the war horse raised its hind hooves and kicked the back of the double-headed sword swung by Zero Lur as accurately as if it had eyes on its back.

However, the war horse also obviously misjudged Jerolul's strength and failed to stop the double-headed sword from falling, but kicked the direction of the swing quite a bit.

Then, without waiting for Jerolelle to adjust her weapon, the big tree guard struck with a shield from front to back, forcing her to use her double-headed sword to block.

The golden tree's big shield hit the double-headed sword. The force coming from it made Jerolur's arms numb, but this was the deliciousness of the double-headed sword. She followed the force and turned the weapon with the back of the sword at the other end. Shoot towards the big tree guard.

Then it was destroyed by the precise hoof of the war horse.

What the hell is going on with this horse! ?Jerolul stared at the war horse guarding the crotch of the tree with wide eyes and disbelief.

But this time she used this power to jump up high, flying lightly into the air nearly ten meters high, then adjusted her body in a posture that seemed very impossible for a human warrior, and shouted at the big tree guard. Falling kick.

Let me see how you can hide now!Jerolul looked proudly at Fernandi on the ground. The tree guard in heavy armor looked like a living target in the eyes of the elf.

But doesn’t the Master Guard view Jerolul like this?

The war horse squatted slightly and then suddenly exerted force, driving the big tree guard to also jump into the air.

"Eh?" Jerolul was stunned.

Then she saw the shield of the golden tree guarding the tree, which was as tall as a person, gradually enlarging on her face.

"ah--!"

The crowd of onlookers just watched this graceful elf female warrior being mercilessly photographed from the air by the big tree guard.

Chapter 58: Just like an old friend coming

"Jerolul and Horatius, the commanders of the guards under the current Queen Lord of the Songyue Dynasty. I have heard of these two names in some books about elves." Roland looked at the conference table. Horatius, who was sitting there with an elegant posture, asked: "Is there any document or the like that can prove your identity?"

As for Jerolul, she put her hands on her legs and looked obediently beside Horatius.

After she was knocked down from mid-air to the ground by a shield from the big tree guard, her out-of-the-box personality disappeared without a trace after the close contact with the ground.

The big tree guard also paid attention to his own strength, otherwise the person on the ground would not be the elf still struggling to get up, but Gerolul-chan.

The homeless knight who went to the church came over with the favor of red dew drops. He first gave it to the tauren warriors who drew their swords to help when they saw an injustice, and finally gave it to Zeluoluer so that she could heal her wounds and regain some strength. .

Then she looked defeated and followed Horatius without saying a word, making the latter seem a little unfamiliar with this friend who had been with him for hundreds of years.

Moreover, Horatius thought that Jerolul's well-behaved appearance was quite good, at least he wouldn't do anything on a whim that would give her a headache.

Maybe Jerolule's character is just because there are few people among her peers in the Utatsuki Dynasty who can beat her in a competition?

"I'm very sorry, Lord Roland. Jerolul and I just don't like to reveal our identities in front of humans, and we didn't expect it would cause trouble to you." Horatius performed an elf etiquette and expressed to Roland in a neither humble nor condescending manner. He apologized, and at the same time took out the document representing his elf identity from the magic space and handed it to Roland.

Ikosela took the document handed over by Horascus with both hands, and after confirming that the stamp on it was not forged, she nodded to Roland.

"At the same time, I also want to apologize to you, a friend of the orc clan, on behalf of my companion. You should be the chief of the orc clan that passed by the border of the Songyue Dynasty recently, right? There were many people at the door of the library just now. The tauren warrior who came to help was injured by Gerolul. I am very sorry." After Horascus handed the document to Ixella, he said to Jonson Bloodhoof who was sitting in the room.

Jonson Bloodhoof didn't have anything to be angry about about this matter. If he couldn't beat him, he just couldn't beat him. His skills were inferior to others, not to mention that the opponent didn't kill him.

"It doesn't matter, these brats think they are so arrogant after just a few days of training. I have to thank your companion for being merciful. I will tell them later that there is a world outside the sky and there are people outside the world. Don't think that you have learned it. You're so arrogant after just two new moves." Jonson Bloodhoof nodded cheerfully.

Roland also accepted the other party's apology. After taking the document and looking at it carefully, he expressed his inner doubts: "It's okay, but my men have been tricked by the enemy through transformation and invisibility, so they reacted excitedly. Some. However, Ms. Horatius, may I ask why the Songyue Dynasty did not directly send a formal envoy over, but instead asked you two distinguished commanders of the guards to come over privately? "

Horatius glanced at Jerolul first, and found that the latter still looked well-behaved, and then said: "Because the Golden Dynasty is too far away from the Songyue Dynasty, and our country's current ally is the Holy Empire of France. We are at war with the Charles Empire. From the perspective of Lord Arvette, your country's Leiden City and Moor City are within the territory of the Charles Empire. I'm afraid that the envoys of the Songyue Dynasty will be attacked before they arrive in your country. The Charles Empire is going to attack. That’s why I and Zeroluel were sent.”

Roland nodded, the elf was right.

And the meaning of her words also shows that the current territory of the Golden Dynasty is too small, and the Queen of the Songyue Dynasty does not think it is worth sending out a mission to go to war.

After all, it was the human empire that usually sent luxurious missions to the Songyue Dynasty, and even the emperors of the Holy Empire of France and the Charles Empire had to be polite.

"How do you two feel about the Golden Dynasty? How many things have you learned about the Golden Dynasty?" Roland said calmly: "If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. If you can answer me, I will definitely answer. Of course, I also have information about your Geyue Dynasty. I’d like to ask for some information.”

Information exchange?Horasgus looked at Jerolul and asked her if she agreed with Roland's actions.

This time, Lord Arvet asked Horascus to focus on Gerolul, because compared to other elves of the same race, Gerolul is more curious about human things and easier to talk to.Other elves more or less dislike humans, a short-lived species, and their tone of voice becomes arrogant involuntarily.

Roland followed Horascus's eyes and looked at Jerolul, and found that the elf was looking at him with her clear and pure eyes, so he said with some curiosity: "Miss Jerolul, it seems like you have been there since just now. He kept staring at my face, is there something weird on my face?"

To be honest, Roland felt a little uncomfortable being stared at all the time. He once wondered if he hadn't washed his face when he got up in the morning.

Horascus also noticed her companion's movements, and quietly reached out and tugged on the hem of Jerolul's clothes.

"Ah, oh." Jerolul came back to her senses and admitted openly: "I was wondering if your appearance is exactly the same as what I heard from passers-by on the road."

Horascus opened her eyes slightly.She didn't expect that Jerolul was really curious about Roland's appearance.

"Really? I'm curious about how passers-by describe me?" Roland became interested.

Jerolul stretched out her hand and said one by one: "It has five arms and seven legs, and its mouth and eyes are always burning with sulfur-smelling flames..."

Roland's mouth twitched: "This must be what someone from Charles' empire said, right?"

"Yes, well, but now it seems that there is no difference between you and other humans. I think in your human stories, you always like to describe your king as very special, either a wise god or a god descending to earth. Human beings Lord, is there anything special about you?" Jerolul asked.

Horascus turned her head aside, as if to express that she did not recognize this out-of-line elf at all.

She thought that Jerolul was beaten by the guards of the big tree, but she didn't expect that she would be treated badly here.

"I'm just an ordinary person with a bit of idealism. Don't take the content in human novels too seriously." Roland could see the character of Jerolul and didn't care about the elf's slightly offensive words.

"So can we exchange information that the other party wants to know?" Roland then asked.

Jerolul nodded happily: "Of course, I took Horascus to the library just to learn about the history of your Golden Dynasty. Because even the elves in the clan who survived from the Second and Third Era I have never heard of such a country in the history of the Salid continent."

Roland frowned slightly. Is this the advantage of immortality?The elves who survived the second and third eras may have lived for tens of thousands of years. Can the life span of elves in this other world be able to live so long?

"That's natural. Our Golden Dynasty was destroyed long before the Second Era and has been in this endless forest. It was only recently that we broke the seal and came out to contact the outside world." Roland said about the second, I don’t know much about the Third Era, so the time is roughly blurred when I speak.

The other party will figure out these vague areas on their own.

For example, after hearing these words, Kahn Ironhammer, who was curious about what the elves wanted to do with Roland in the city lord's hall, became even more convinced that the Golden Dynasty had been destroyed by the gods themselves.

"Hmm, so did the Golden Dynasty exist in the First Era or earlier?" Jerolul blinked, as if she knew something, and then said to Roland: "Okay, let's change one question to another. What do you want to ask? Is it a question? Let’s say it first, if it’s confidential, I won’t answer it~”

Roland shrugged: "I won't ask questions that seem like they won't be answered. Let me think about what questions to ask you."

Later, Roland and Jerolul obtained a lot of information that they wanted to know from each other in this way. The words spoken by the elf were also recorded verbatim by Kenneth Hyde in a file that was convenient for preservation.

While the two were communicating with each other, a King's Army soldier knocked on the door and walked in: "Report, Lord Roland. We have captured the caravan captain who brought the two elves in. How should we deal with it?"

"Bring him in first." Roland ended the conversation with Jerolul and rubbed his brows helplessly.

Although the elves did not have any malicious intentions, if the people who came in were not elves but other people with ulterior motives, I am afraid that the damage in Morn City would not just be as simple as the broken stones on the road in front of the library.

So the punishment should still be punished, and it depends on the situation whether the captain of the caravan was greedy for money or something.

After all, Roland didn't know if the elves used some magic to make the caravan boss mistakenly think that they were normal good people.

At the same time, I have to pay more attention to the care of the city gate. There are not many sentry torches. Most of them are arranged by the king's army in the main hall of the city where Roland usually lives and works. A few are placed in other places in the city. Important buildings, such as libraries, churches, hospitals, schools, and dwarf forges.

"Ah, is that the young man in his 70s?" Jerolul reacted, her eyes widened and she immediately spoke to Roland, the captain of the caravan: "This matter is between Horasgus and I. , he did not know the racial identities of Horascus and I, and thought that we were just ordinary village girls who came to visit Morn City. He did not make things difficult for us along the way, and the fees were collected according to the human currency system. Very low, and he often helps people who want to defect to the Golden Dynasty..."

"Okay, okay, I know, I know, I just want to warn him." Roland quickly waved his hand to signal Jie Luoluer to stop. The conversation between the two just now made the elf aware of Roland's easy-to-talk personality, so Just like that.

But judging from what Jerolul just said, this businessman captain is not as greedy for money as he imagined.What's going on with young people in their 70s? Don't use the age of your elves to compare the ages of humans to those in their seventies!

The soldiers of the King's Army walked in while escorting the old man. The old man's steps were stiff and there was cold sweat on his forehead. It could be seen that he was very nervous.

The moment Roland saw the old man's face, he frowned slightly and felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

The old man was first attracted by the two elves. His eyes were a little confused, and then he recognized them from their clothes.

"What about the faces of you two girls? Are you elves?" The old businessman suddenly realized. He had only heard the soldiers say that the two men he had brought with him were making trouble at the entrance of the library, but he did not know that it was the two elves who were making trouble.

He pointed at the two elves and said angrily: "It's useless for me to trust you so much. You actually, actually..."

"I'm very sorry, human." Horascus stood up solemnly and apologized to the old businessman: "We can't expose the fact that we are elves among a group of humans. I am willing to use [World Tree's World Tree] to deceive you. leaves] to compensate.”

[Leaves of the World Tree], a relatively common magic material within the Songyue Dynasty, can effectively improve the activity of magic potions. At the same time, leaves containing life energy are also very suitable for making life potions.

It's just that the leaves of the World Tree are strictly controlled by the Songyue Dynasty. If the human kingdom wants to get a leaf, it takes a lot of effort. It's really not a matter of money.

It can be said that Horascus' return gift was very sincere. In her opinion, if this businessman could sell the leaves of the World Tree,

But what the old businessman cares about is not at all how much compensation he can get from the elves. After entering the door, he did not dare to look at Roland. He just closed his eyes and said to Horascus in a painful tone: "No, what I care about is not What money... you don’t understand.”

Horascus showed a confused expression. This is why she doesn't like dealing with humans, because sometimes she really doesn't understand what humans are thinking.

Those humans who came from the Songyue Dynasty to communicate with each other would all be happy if they could obtain the leaves of the World Tree. It stands to reason that this businessman, whose identity and status are not as good as those of the humans who came to the Songyue Dynasty, should be happier than them.

But why did he show such an expression? Could it be that what I gave him was not enough to compensate him for the losses he had to bear?

At this time, Roland said uncertainly to the old businessman: "You..., have I seen you somewhere?"

"No." The old man lowered his white-haired head.

"You raise your head," Roland said.

"This... villain has just made a big mistake and has no face to face Lord Roland." The old businessman squatted and said.

Just when Roland was still about to say something, Jonson Bloodhoof stretched out a thick finger and put it on the old businessman's chin, using a gentle force to raise his head.

Roland carefully identified the old face of the old businessman with his eyes closed, and found a slightly younger face similar to it from the torrent of memory: "Are you... a businessman who often came to Qatar in the past?"

Chapter 59: Melina: How can I know that there is someone hiding in you?

"Are you... a businessman who often came to Qatar before?"

Roland's words made him fall into memories. When the Lulan Chamber of Commerce was first established, there was always a middle-aged businessman with tired eyes who came to the front desk and asked Qatar bit by bit.

"Your name is Reed, right?" Roland looked at the old businessman and said.

The old businessman opened his eyes, but still did not have the courage to look at Roland, so he just nodded silently.

Roland also fell into silence. He never thought that he would meet his former acquaintance in this way.

On the day he was executed, was he also watching indifferently, timidly and numbly... Roland didn't know how to face Reed.

Maybe I should be angry?Because he is as insensitive and cowardly as the people around him.

No, Reed's resistance alone could not change the fact that he would die at that time. The culprit was still Lu Yi and the complicit nobles.Roland shook his head slightly, thinking a lot in his heart.

"Lord Roland, please don't think about the old relationship, just punish me normally according to the rules you set." Reed broke the silence and said.

Roland sighed slightly and nodded: "According to the regulations, you are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so you and your caravan should be punished and permanently banned from entering the territory of the Golden Dynasty."

Jerolul opened her eyes wide and was about to say something, but was immediately stopped by Horascus.

She glanced at Jerolul, her eyes indicating that this was an internal matter for humans, and we elves should not interfere too much.

"But according to what the elf said, your suspicion of collaboration with the enemy has been cleared, but you still need to pay a fine. The guards in Morn City are also poorly guarded. The sergeant on duty today will share the amount of the fine with you." Roland finished. , looked at Kenneth Hyde: "Kenneth Hyde, what do you think of this penalty result?"

"Very reasonable, Lord Roland." Kenneth Hyde replied respectfully.

Roland rubbed his brows, waved to Reed and said, "That's it. Next time you kindly bring someone into the city, remember to report to the guard at the city gate in detail where you met and where you are from. Kenneth ·Hide, later on you will also notify the soldiers responsible for letting people into the city to carefully inquire about everyone's identity, and don't let down your guard just after seeing the customs clearance document."

"Understood, I will inform you immediately." Kenneth Hyde stood up, saluted Roland and then walked out of the city lord's hall resolutely.

"Thank you Lord Roland for your magnanimity. I will keep your words in mind." Reed put his right hand on his heart and bowed slightly. He also remembered that Roland didn't like others to kneel down.

When the soldiers of the King's Army escorted Reed to pay the fine, Roland still called out to Reed.

The old businessman Reed stopped with his back to Roland, waiting for Roland's words.
