Wizard From Afar

Although Ruben Fried did everything possible to keep him and poured half of his entourage with barrels of mead, the mission still set off in the early morning of the 2nd day.

Before entering the forest, Loren ordered all the horses to be left behind, and everyone carried their bags on foot. It was a difficult task for the Bayern people in the town of Knight to give up their mounts. , But it is necessary.

Without him, in the rugged and narrow paths and dark and terrifying jungle of the ancient wood, the cavalry is an absolute living target; and for the elves, walking on foot is also a kind of "good show". ", to prove that he did not show hostility.

It might not matter before, but if it is true that even the elves of the Morning Star Forest begin to block their settlements, as Ruben said, then it is necessary.

"...So, when the elves of the ancient wood forest begin to be hostile to humans for certain things, try to avoid any actions that will offend them and win their favor at the same time. It is our trip. The first priority."

The black hair wizard lifts the head while talking, looking at the mission line stretching behind him, the fully armed Byrne Knights carrying their bags, looking vigilantly. On the left and right sides, it’s like an outing:

"Of course, if something is unavoidable in the end, then we have to let our great Lord Ayn Rand come forward to dissolve the empire and ancient wood. There is a misunderstanding among the forest elves; maybe you might really be a benefactor to save the entire empire, Ayin!"

"Laughing at me there again." The little sullen face The tall wizard turned his head on purpose and stopped paying attention to him: "Really, save the empire... How can it be such an exaggeration."

"This is not an exaggeration, it 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 other things, they won't forget what they promised."

All in the big tree wall The ancient wood elves who have fought bloody battles are obliged to die once for Ain Rand... This is the original words of a certain female elves.

I fought side by side with the war dancers and defeated the Ogre invasion; but what really impressed them and unforgettable was that someone was always busy in the back and saved countless times. Thousands of war dancers, unremarkable little wizard.

Not only that, in the early stage of Lothar Duchy and the ancient wood forest alliance, Ain has always been responsible for the mediation and negotiation between the two sides. The elves are absolutely more familiar with her than their own. A comrade-in-arms to go like wind.

Of course, although the relationship is close, Loren’s original number one candidate should be the little priest Weber. Compared with this “professional”, the little wizard is sure to be eloquent and convince others to believe in himself. Is inferior to him.

It is not easy to let the elves believe in the priest of the Holy Cross, wanting to let the other party put down their guard and believe in themselves...

The black hair wizard shook his head, flashing back in his mind the big eyes of a little priest who were always sincere, clear and able to speak.

It’s a pity...Faced with the continuous suppression and various demands of the Holy Cross Church, I had to install a courageous bishop in the Byrne Church; at the same time, I had to rely on Weber’s various church reforms. Come to "back up" for myself and the Chamber of Commerce's previous embezzlement of church property.

"Uh, uh... Now that you have talked about the importance of your visit to this trip, Ai Yin, there is something else..."

The black hair wizard thought I have to ask, but it is a bit embarrassing and a bit difficult to tell.

"en?" The little wizard who turned his head tilted his head to look at him and blinked ignorantly.

"Something?"

"No, it's okay!" Loren immediately rejected, laughed 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, then his eyes rounded:" Ah...It turned out to be like this!"

"You keep talking all the way, just want to know this?!"

Huh?

The black hair wizard expression startled, just trying to explain something, but when I saw Ai Yin's suddenly realized expression, I decided to give up.

"It's not so exaggerated, it's just... curious."

With a stiff smile, Loren waved his hand: "So...what are you talking about?"

p>

"Loren ·Torino..." The little wizard hugged his shoulders, lightly snorted glanced at him: "What else can be there?'Follow this guy, you can't relax in one minute','Always be vigilant. , Don’t let him take risks on his own terms','must pay attention to safety'...these words of concern."

"...really?"

"Of course it is fake! "Ayin turned her head and said: "Who doesn't know how much you bastard like to make others worry about you! Charles and I just talked about the elves, and by the way, apologized for the previous actions. Who would do it all the time? I’m talking about you!"

"Oh, it turned out to be like this..." The black hair wizard chuckled, then suddenly reacted, his expression froze:

"Wait Wait... Shire?!"

What's the situation?

"Well, don't you know?" The little wizard blinked and looked at him suspiciously: "Charlotte is her official Christian name. When she was a child, everyone in her family called her Charles. ."

When I was young...the family...

Loren's expression became even more confused.

When did the two of them...

"When a certain duke often leaves the castle and runs around..." Ayin noticed the black hair wizard's expression, There was a sly smile at the corner of the mouth, and a triumphant look was deliberately revealed:

"Well, I am almost a good friend who talks about everything."

"..." Loren Torino.

"The object of her adoration when she was a child was the tenth generation of the'Crazy Dragon Queen' Charlotte I; it was for this reason that she took this name; she dreamed of becoming a monarch and poet like her, Artist, collector."

Ayin's voice is very soft, and her smiling expression seems to be that Charlotte is standing in front of her at this moment: "She also dreamed of becoming the first Dame king in history!"

The black hair wizard is silently nodded, he absolutely believes in this, and he has no doubt that she will succeed.

"She is a bit stubborn, but she is not completely unreasonable; sometimes she will be biased against some things and people, but this is unavoidable-everyone will have their own understanding of everything Knowing the limitations of the level."

The little wizard with his hands behind his back has a fascinating look at the corner of the purse one's lip, as if pitying on some delicate ceramics: "She has armed herself very powerfully, and she does Very powerful, but..."

"It's just a girl who has too much experience and too many burdens."

Loren looked at the little wizard in a daze:

p>

"Ayin, what are you...what do you want to say?"

"Nothing, I just said Charlotte is a good girl." The little wizard whispered: "You usually see it , She had no choice but to disguise herself desperately."

Twitched the corner of her mouth, Loren who wanted to talk and stopped choosing to be silent-at this time, she really didn't know what to say.

The two quietly walked forward in silence. In the quiet jungle, you could even hear the singing of insects and birds, and behind them was the heavy walking of the team.

"Loren."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the little wizard opened the mouth and said abruptly.

"How?"

"Why...Is it?"

"en? This...I explained this." The black hair wizard smiled and replied Said: "That's because Ai Yin, you are very much among the elves..."

"Nonsense."

Huh?

The interrupted Loren eyebrows raised.

"If a bastard can convince a group of elves who don't even know him, go and fight a battle they have never heard of." Ai Yin faintly opened the mouth and said:

"It's just to make the other person believe in yourself again, what's the difficulty?"

Loren startled, and then squeezed out a stiff smile: "Well... if you have less trouble, you will have less trouble It’s a bit of trouble, not to mention that I don’t always go so smoothly. There are always times when I fail..."

"Isaac, Charles, Dalton mentor, and even...Charlotte." His eyebrows were lowered. The little wizard murmured softly: "It should be more useful than me to stand here if you replace it with any of them?"

The long forest path, the entire group is like walking forever Go on like that to the end.

"Perhaps."

The black hair wizard calmly opened the mouth and said: "Maybe it really is like this."

Ain’s expression got better The hair is dimmed.

"But I can't imagine that Isaac can put down the shelf and get along with the Potion Masters of the elves, and even talk and laugh about what it will look like." Loren's conversation changed:

"Me too I can’t imagine that Charles, who is always personable, is hurried forward in the forest with his luggage, and he has to dress up the wounds for the wounded;"

"As for the Dalton mentor...well, he is very difficult to deal with, but there is no place for him to lurch 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 exploiting this, otherwise he won’t be caught by Root Infi Nit uses it."

"And Charlotte Torino-I don't doubt how good our excellent Crimson Blood Castle female count is at mediating vertically and horizontally; but letting one be proud Those who can’t get there go to negotiate with another group of elusive elves...Well, I’m worried that the Heavenly Emperor will have to declare war on the ancient wood forest."

"pu chi ——!"

Loren hadn't finished speaking, the little wizard couldn't help laughing.

"No one is worthless—you can use the most ordinary things to impress thousands of elves, so that they can’t wait to die for you once; I can’t do it, change No one can do it." Loren stared into her eyes, her voice softly:

"Clear the barriers, trust each other, let go of scruples and disputes...this is the greatest miracle!"

p>

black hair wizard said this remark sincerely.

The little wizard from start to finish pressed his lips tightly and said nothing.

At this moment, Lucien, who was walking in the front of the team, suddenly stopped and raised his right hand to stop Byrne Knight behind him.

The movement ahead caused all the missions stretching on the path to stop.

"Hey?" The little wizard was taken aback first: "It shouldn't be within the range of Morning Star Forest, why..."

She was interrupted in the next second.

"Up ahead, on the left and right wings, someone is approaching—the enemy attack!"

The gray-eyed boy with a roar of two swords came out of the sheath and stopped at the front of the team:" Byrne people, take the battle-ready to meet the enemy!" At the same time as the roar sounded, the Byrne Knights in the queue had already thrown down their backpacks, turned their backs to each other, and spread out while still in a tacit understanding. And the black hair wizard is surrounded by a unified circle in the center.

Under the icy rim of the helmet, a pair of sharp eyes passed through the two-handed swords, staring at every move in the surrounding jungle.

Aside from the grasses caressed by the breeze, around the towering old trees that entangled Wolong, there was no movement or sound.

The expressionless black hair wizard quietly blocked the little wizard behind him, his eyes raised slightly, and he swept to a branch not far away.

On the empty branches, a leaf fell.

"Someone, on it--!"

I don’t know who yelled the first sentence first. All the Byrne Knights drew out their crossbows at the same time, and drew the cold arrows. Ya pointed at the surrounding treetops.

In the next second, in the empty surrounding jungle, almost every tree has a few more faintly visible silhouettes.

The sharp eyes have surrounded the whole mission from all directions.

It's like looking at the prey that is about to arrive.

The Byrne Knights' eyes widened. The first time they saw the elves, they were really shocked, and many of them even showed a dazed expression.

Loren tilted his mouth slightly and withdrew his gaze, lightly patted Lucien's shoulder, and turned his gaze to up ahead under the nervous gaze of the gray pupil.

A thin and tall silhouette is approaching them from the front.

Slim and slender figure, melon seed-like pointy ears, crimson's long spear in the hand, at the top of the long spear, is a willow-shaped spear tip, behind it is carried an animal skin package, tied with a few shorter Some shots.

The fiery-red horsetail is as bright as a flying swallowtail flag.

"This is the ancient wood forest, which belongs to the land of our Morningstar Forest settlement."

"The lord of Deep Forest Castle didn't tell you that the forest has been blocked? Before we officially announced Before the blockade is lifted, no human can enter."

"If you dare to take a half step forward, the long spear of the war dancers will penetrate your hearts!"

The cold voice of words , Sharper than the tip of the gun in her hand; the emerald green eyes shrank obviously when they noticed the black hair wizard.

"Yes, Ruben Fried told us, but we are still going to see it with our own eyes and confirm it in person."

Speak calmly, black hair wizard Step forward slowly, staring at those emerald eyes: "Look at the elves of the Morning Star Forest, do you remember their friends."

The thin silhouette slightly trembled, as if Breathing has stopped.

As if I couldn't believe that the person in front of me looked exactly like the one in my memory, and even took a half step back subconsciously.

"long time no see, it's become beautiful."

"Liya."
