Walking on the long forest path, the black hair wizard alone is surrounded by more than a dozen elven war dancers-according to Luca, they are going to go to the fog. Moon court.

As for the mission team that came with him, Luca told him not to worry, they would be escorted by the leader of the war dancers in the morning star forest, that is, Liya personally, to the Wuyue Court in four days.

After just thinking about it, Loren immediately understood-Luca was using a very clever way to help him make a time difference.

The arrival of the imperial mission, Chen Xinglin is of course impossible to conceal and not to report, and even impossible to pretend not to exist; but Luca can allow himself to enter the Mist Moon Court first, before the opponent has fully reacted. Get to know the situation first.

Although there is no evidence, Loren is sure that Luca definitely heard the conversation between himself and Liya.

The only question is, is this just his own thought, or is the decision made by the whole Morning Star Lin after serious consideration?

Loren very much hopes for the latter.

After the southern forest was occupied by ogre, among the remaining three parts of the ancient wood forest, only the eastern forest was still struggling with ogre, and only the elves of the eastern forest had communicated with humans—— It has the largest number of settlements, the largest area, and the most fertile forests; but at the same time, it has to face the invasion of ogre from the south and the “threat of the human world” in the east.

In other words, they may also be the only elves that have "feelings" for humans.

The remaining two regions-the elves of the western forest, headed by the barren woods, are truly "pure" ancient wood elves, with the least number and the most scattered, and many even live alone. The wizard warrior;

The western forest has the most war dancers in the three places-the proportion and number are the highest-every time Ogre invades, the eastern forest will call out to the west, often They all participated in the war as the main force and scouts.

It is worth mentioning that among the more than one hundred elves who accompanied Loren on the expedition to the Evernight Forest, almost all of the young war dancers were from the west or had traveled in the western forest.

The other one is the elves of the northern forest, headed by Wuyueting.

The elves here are a little different from the settlements in the eastern and western forests-the elves in the northern forest are the only one with a coast and a port.

Although the closed coastline prevents them from having any contact with any imperial port, the sea has given the elves here more wealth, allowing them to develop a small amount of trade with the other two elven settlements. Become prosperous.

Because they have salt.

The brave elven war dancers can survive alone in the jungle, they can fight with ogre, and they don’t need any commodities from outside—but they can’t help but eat salt.

There are no salt mines in the forest, so the sea salt from the northern forest becomes the only source of salt for all settlements; the northern forest that holds this important material, especially the Wuyueting, is in all the ancient wood forests. In the settlement, it has a very special status.

It was not until the Eastern Forest began to contact Deep Limburg and Lotaire, and the refined well salt produced in Eileman and Eastern Sacrament was imported into Morningstar Forest, that their "monopoly position" was slightly broken.

But with the closure of the ancient wood forest, this status has returned.

Is there a connection between these two things?

"Loren, you are a...southern, right?"

Walking on the trail, the gentle Luka suddenly asked: "Ruvin of Deep Limburg used to talk to We talked and he said that your hometown, Byrne, is a vast place, rich in a kind of fruit called'grapes', which can make the best wine in the world; there is the most brave and warrior Knight who rides a horse and wields a flag gun. "

The black hair wizard looked at him confusedly, not knowing why he suddenly wanted to ask this.

"Don't get me wrong, it's just that walking is too boring, just ask." Luca laughed again: "It's just pure curiosity, such a rich and vast country, why would he be loyal to someone from another land? What about the chief?"

"Lotaire, Byrne...so many places, so many people, why would they all be loyal to one family and become one...what is that word?"

"Empire."

"Yes, empire." Luca exhaled: "How did you become an empire?"

"For many reasons." black hair wizard paused and thought for a while: "Because the Emperor of the Empire, his family once received resistance to the invasion of the north. They have extremely high reputation, they have the most powerful army... they have dragons."

"A giant dragon can destroy a city, slaughter an army, level a piece of land... and they have twelve heads."

Luka looked thoughtful nodded.

"In other words, the reason why they can use a piece of land to rule all the remaining land..." The middle-aged elf turned his head and looked at the black hair wizard meaningfully:

"Because they have the strongest army and giant dragon-the rest are afraid of them to maintain the existence of this empire?"

"Well...the same can be said."

As his eyes met, Loren shrugged.

"Then this kind of unity that relies on fear, threat and military force, in your opinion, Loren, is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Luca continued to ask.

He is suggesting something to me.

Loren kept his usual calm, as if two people were really just chatting; just touching their eyes, they moved to other places.

"It should be... a good thing, right?"

"Do you really think so?" Luca raised his eyebrows and showed a gentle smile: "Even if one of the parties has to Give up your freedom, and absolutely obey the other party in exchange for the so-called peace?"

"Just like yourself-as the leader of the Byrn people, you have to obey the arrangements of the leader of the Sackland people. Go down to your own people and land, come to the ancient wood forest that has nothing to do with you, trembling with fear executes his orders, and dare not defy the slightest."

"Tell me, you are really willing And there are no complaints?"

This time Loren really laughed, his mouth widened and raised.

Sure enough... Luca is much better than a straight female elf.

"First of all, I am not being persecuted, but voluntarily...because I know what will happen next if I don't come." Loren breathed out slowly, looking back at him seriously:

"Secondly...acknowledge allegiance, in most cases, it does not mean that one party has absolute obedience to one party. It is closer to an'agreement' approach."

"oh ?" Luca showed a curious expression.

"How to put it, it's like the relationship between a single person and the settlement-but it is enlarged to the level of the territory and the empire. She has a set of rules." Loren talked freely:

"The empire provides protection for each territory with equal and respectful treatment; the territory provides the empire with material resources and manpower so that the empire can continue this protection; both parties have their own rights and obligations, because the empire This title belongs to everyone, not one-way."

"If the empire wants to break the original rules and set up something more beneficial to him..."

"Then We also have no need to obey the rules;" Loren immediately replied: "At that time, there will be three choices before each leader."

"Independent freedom; overthrow the current ruler , Let the empire get back on track; or... form a new empire yourself."

"But you said, the empire has a giant dragon, how can we..." Luca still wants to ask.

"So, you have to be cautious when making these choices." Loren smiled and glanced at him, smiling happily: "The most important thing is that there can be no one person."

"Because one person’s complaint is just a complaint, and all the complaints are gathered together to become power-we respect the opinions of a very small number of people, but if we want to promote something, of course we must follow the ideas of the majority."

"On the other hand, if the ideas of a very small number of people become the majority..."

The original majority has become a very small minority-so the key is how to complete This transformation.

"...I understand."

After thinking for a long time, Luca relieved.

He turned his head, looking solemnly and seriously at the black hair wizard: "Thank you, Loren."

"No thanks, really." Loren and him looked at each other. Then, a sly flick squeezed out of the corner of his eyes: "We're just chatting for a while, aren't we?"

Luca also smiled.

Finally, one evening in the days of traveling north, when finally passing through a jungle, an elf war dancer who was walking in front suddenly stopped and looked towards Luca behind him. And Loren:

"Mist Moon Court, we are here."

Luca smiled and lifts the head, Loren followed his gaze and looked out of the jungle, his gaze condensed.

It is the sea.

Behind a towering cloud canopy tree that is not inferior to the morning star forest, is the calm and tranquil sea.

The steaming water vapor on the coast envelopes the entire settlement like a gauze; layered row upon row treehouses are clustered together, one ring and one ring is as messy and neat as a street ;

It's not as natural and casual as Morning Star Forest, nor is it like Eboden or Scarlet Blood Castle, which makes neat and tidy in a routine manner, just like a gradually expanding free town, full of life Breath.

There is a wide open space around the cloud canopy tree in the center, like a deliberately set aside "square"; and not far away there are large tracts of salt pans, and there is a lot of land on the ridge. Many elves are working hard.

Beside the simple dock, a group of elves who have just returned from fishing are pushing their small sampans to the shore. The spearguns in their hands are also wrapped with rattan and branches to make hemp rope. Fish cages that are only full of harvest.

The children running barefoot on the beach yelled and picked up the conch and shells that washed up with the waves, and yelled, just like those elves chasing butterflies in the morning star forest.

Until this moment, Loren really understood why the Wuyue Court is called "Misty Moon Court" instead of using the local woodland as the name like other elven settlements.

"Luca?"

Outside the misty moon court, an elf warrior who looks like a guard came up, and looked at the middle-aged elf with some surprise: "The elf of the morning star forest, Why did you come so soon?"

"Something happened and I had to leave ahead of time." No matter who he faces, Luca seems to be as gentle as ever, not at all different from the other's attitude:

"The situation is urgent. You must report to the other Elder Elders in the Mist Moon Court as soon as possible to make a decision!"

The elf guard first glanced at him inexplicably, and then reacted immediately Come here: "From the east, don't you mean..."

"East... something happened." Luca nodded, solemnly looking at the young elf.

"I get it!"

The elf guard was nodded, turned his head and turned to the back, and yelled the companions behind him sharply: "Remove all warnings and let go of the elves of the morning star forest. Enter the Wuyue Court!"

"Many thanks." Luca smiled nodded.

However, when the entire group was about to leave and walked towards the Mist Moon Court, the wizard guards who were "gentle to them" suddenly raised their long spear and stood in front of them.

Almost at the same time, the surrounding elven guards swarmed up, encircling the war dancers of the Morning Star Forest in the center, blocking their steps.

"Wait a minute!"

The elf guard wrinkled frowned, squinted towards the end of Luca's entire group, with a solemn tone: "Please tell me before you go in, this is who ?"

Huh?

All the elves turned their heads at the same time as they swept, and turned back in unison, and then...

There was nothing.

The war dancers of Morning Star Forest looked at each other in blank dismay, while the guards of Wuyue Court were confused, and a big "?" appeared in their minds at the same time.

What about people, Loren? This is the spirit of Morning Star Forest.

People, who? This is the spirit of Wuyue Court.

The elf guard opened his eyes, shook his head desperately, wiped it again, rubbed his eye sockets, and was completely stunned when he looked again.

What about people, what about a person with a big goal? !

I was right in front of my eyes, with black hair and dark eyes, especially conspicuous and easy to recognize; standing at the end of the morning star forest elves team, I waved to myself!

Why didn't I see what I saw just now? !

Only Luka raised his eyebrows, and an imperceptible smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.

"Excuse me...Are there any questions?"

Luca asked very politely.

The frowned elf guards seriously looked at every morning star forest elf in the team, and the confusion in his heart increased.

Is it...I really got it wrong?

Finally, the elf guard with the expression "I have seen a ghost" lost his soul, in a trance, and let the elves of the morning star forest enter the misty moon court.

Although the morning star forest war dancers with different expressions were also puzzled, they remained silent after being reminded by Luca.

As he was about to enter the door, Luca's gaze "inadvertently" swept to a corner outside the door-some "elven guard" who had just stood there was nowhere to be seen.

In the end, the young misty moon court elf didn't notice that one of his companions was missing.

With a light smile, Luca, who no longer looked around, pretended to be unaware, and strode towards the Wuyue Court.
