This caravan entered the forest a few days ago, and a special flag was hung on each carriage.
These specially made flags were issued by the senators of the holy city of Babylon as a pass for special traders.
If in the past, by virtue of the agreement reached between the holy city of Babylon and the various races in the Chaos Territory, whether it was the elves, the mountain giants or the hill dwarves, these alien races would follow the agreement and would not attack the human caravan that hung the flag.
However, the huge Chaos Leader was several times larger than the Wildfire Plain in terms of area. With such a large area, it was impossible for the prestige of the Holy City to shine on every corner. There are always some races that do not deal with the Holy City and have not reached a contract with the Holy City.
For example, it is recognized that the most hated race in the forest: the black elves, also known as the fallen elves.
These mutant elves are the biggest aliens in the forest. They not only hate each other with the elves, but even the dwarves and giants are at odds with them. These black elves are in the forest, attacking any race they encounter, especially human caravans, their targets.
As early as when they entered the Chaos Territory, the guard mercenaries in the caravan were already very energetic.
Human caravans have always been fat in the eyes of black elves.
According to legend, the dark elves were originally a branch of the elves. These elves later degenerated, abandoned their beliefs, and no longer believed in the gods of the elves. They were obscene and greedy by nature, and cunning and cruel. Because they turned their backs on the beliefs of the elves, they lost the racial talent of the elves: natural magic. But it has become more and more cunning and cruel. These mutant elves who believe in darkness are even said to be better at bows and arrows than ordinary elves. Fighting in the woods, especially at night, is even more troublesome.
I just didn't expect that it was only a few days after entering the forest. According to the map, there are still thousands of kilometers away from the place where the dark elves haunt, and I encountered these terrible and annoying guys.
Along the way, this is the third attack like this.
Apparently, the caravan had been targeted by a certain dark elf tribe lurking nearby.
"Damn it! This is supposed to be a safe area. Neither the dwarves nor the giant elves will appear here near the edge of the forest. Where did these black robbers come from!"
The businessman under the carriage kept cursing, and Xi Ya shot another black elf hidden in the woods, turned over and jumped out of the carriage, picked up an axe left by the dead mercenary, and then Braving his waist and rushing out quickly, his figure was like a bolt of lightning, quickly shoving into the woods...
After a while, there was a sudden burst of screams and exclamations in the woods, and a few red rays of light appeared from time to time. The robbers began to disperse.
After a while, in the quiet convoy, the mercenaries nervously put down their bows and arrows, but clenched their swords even more.
In the woods ahead, Xia Ya's figure slowly appeared and walked back step by step.
The turtle's clothes had been stained red with blood, and his face was murderous. The axe in his hand was long gone, but he was dragging a few half-dead guys in each hand.
A few black elves were grabbed by his hair and dragged out on the ground like this. They obviously lost their ability to resist, but they were dragged by Xia Ya's hair, screaming in pain.
Xia Ya walked back amidst the awe-inspiring gazes around him. Those mercenaries and caravans all had expressions of fear on their faces.
"Who can speak the language of these damned fellows?" Xiaya grabbed four black elves and threw them on the ground. One of them tried to get up, but Xiaya stepped on it and stepped on his thigh.
The Turtle's shot was very ruthless, and it stomped off the hapless black elf's thigh with one foot, and suddenly there was a shrill scream.
"No one can speak their language?" Xia looked at the trembling guys around, frowned and muttered, "Unlucky."
It seemed that he had to interrogate himself.
Xiaya grabbed the black elf whose thigh was broken by himself, pinched the other's neck, and lifted it up - to be precise, it should be "she".
This is obviously a female dark elf. It seems that the unique beauty of the elves still exists in the dark elves. This unfortunate dark elf has a very charming face, and the bumpy body is simply wrapped in one piece. Simple short leather jacket. After the fight, the leather jacket on the upper body was torn. After being lifted by Xia Ya, a pair of tall, straight and plump peaks on the chest were exposed to the air.
"If you can speak human language, you'd better speak now." Xia Ya did not mean to pity Xiangxiyu at all, and stared coldly into the eyes of the female elf in her hand: "I am a very impatient person."
This female elf had only rebelliousness and resentment in her eyes, and said something fiercely in her mouth—Xia couldn’t understand a word.
"Obviously, you don't know human language." Xia Ya didn't bother to waste time. With a tight hand, she snapped her neck and threw her alluring and hot body on the ground at will.
He walked over and grabbed another one, but this time it was a sturdy male black elf—these guys had dark skin all over their bodies, and all kinds of weird patterns were drawn on their bodies with oil paints of unknown materials.
Xia Ya just grabbed the guy, and the oil on the other party's skin suddenly burst into light, and Xia Ya suddenly felt the heat in the palm of his hand.
"Huh? Magic?" Xia Ya laughed. In terms of his strength, this level of magic was not even an itching. He slapped the elf in the face and lost most of his teeth in the elf's mouth. , looking at the magic pattern on the opponent's chest, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it hard, and the blood of the grab was blurred.
"The magic is over." Xia Ya looked at the fading light on the other side, and said coldly, "I will only ask once, do you know our language?"
The other party closed his mouth and stared at Xiaya fiercely.
"Okay, it looks like you won't either." Xiaya was about to clench his neck. At this moment, the two remaining dark elves lying on the ground suddenly exclaimed, one of the female's was even sharper. call.
Although it was only a short pronunciation, it was obvious that she was shouting in human language.
"don't want!!"
Snapped!
Xiaya let go of the guy in his hand and looked at the female dark elf on the ground with a grinning smile: "Oh, I finally found someone who can speak human."
"You're lucky." Hastings, sitting in the carport, shrugged.
"Bah! This is wisdom, I don't understand." Xia and Hasting quarreled: "You didn't see the guy I caught, the lines on his body are different from other guys, obviously more complicated, indicating that he His identity is not ordinary. Maybe it is a leader or something, maybe he can speak human words, or use him to coerce other people who can speak human words to speak, it is a good choice. "
"It's just the wisdom of the turtle." Hastings was still stubborn.
"Okay." Xia walked to the female black elf and grabbed her: "Now you answer my question, if you answer one sentence wrong, even one word, I will cut him off. One arm." Xia pointed to the male elf on the ground: "So, you'd better not make me angry."
The female elf had pain on her face, and her eyes were full of resentment, but when she looked at a female companion who died on the ground, and at the male leader who was thrown to the ground by Xia Ya, she finally suppressed the resentment in her eyes. Hanging his head: "Okay, you can ask!"
"Why are you attacking us?"
…
Char Ya's first question made the female elf hesitate for a while, and then her answer made Char Ya a little depressed.
"Why do wolves eat sheep? Why do goshawks catch sparrows?" The female elf said coldly, "We are the masters here, and we hunt the prey that invades our territory. It's that simple."
"Human words are very slippery." Xia Haha laughed: "But you are going around in circles with me, so... the answer is wrong!"
Xia Ya smiled coldly, and waved her palm gently at the male black elf on the ground. After a scream, the male black elf's right arm flew out, and the blood sprayed, mixed with the screams!
The female elf immediately screamed and screamed, but Xiaya didn't even wait for her to scold her, and knocked out a few of her teeth with a slap in the face.
"Don't play stupid with me, you shouldn't be here, in fact, the neighborhood is not your black elves' territory, why did you come here to attack us! This is my problem, so if you continue to play stupid with me ,So… "
"Okay! Stop!!" The female elf gave in. She looked at Xia Ya's raised hand again, and quickly said, "Don't hurt him! I'll answer all your questions!"
Xia Ya's eyes rolled: "Second question... Who is he? It seems that you are all nervous about him."
The female elf hesitated for a while, but finally did not dare to lie: "He... He is the noble leader of our tribe, the warrior, and the son of the tribe's patriarch."
"Oh, it looks like I caught a big fish." Xia laughed.
"Idiot." Hastings interrupted, hitting Xi Ya: "Black elves are obscene by nature, their patriarchs are usually women, and they will have many descendants. The one you catch may be just one of the most inconspicuous ones. ."
Xia snorted and ignored Hastings, but looked at the female elf in her hand: "The son of the patriarch? So he is very important?"
"If he dies, we will die, and our relatives in the tribe will also die." The female elf bowed her head dejectedly: "This is our tradition, and I belong to his subordinates."
"Very good, then it means that he has some useful value." Xia Ya said coldly: "Now, to answer my first question just now, why did you all appear here and attack us?"
"because… "
The female elf finally no longer resisted, and directly gave the answer to Char: "Our original territory was taken away. A few months ago, the holy city of Babylon sent a samurai group into the chaos territory to hunt down our dark elves. Tribe, we are no match for their samurai group, we can only keep moving, we have moved several times, and they are driven farther and farther, and we can only come here."
"Samurai group? Hunting your dark elves?" Xia heard something unusual, and he immediately grasped the key: "Did this kind of thing happen often before?"
"Of course... Of course not." The dark elves seemed to be very afraid of the holy city of Babylon: "The warriors of the holy city are very powerful. If they always hunted us, we would have no place to stand. Such hunting seems to be Babylon. A ceremony of the warriors in the city. Only when something important happens, they will send excellent warriors into the forest to hunt powerful prey. Through this ceremony, the best warriors are finally selected. ."
"Choose the best samurai, what do you do?"
"I don't know. There are several such situations." The female elf replied slowly: "Sometimes it is because the old city lord died and a new city lord has to be elected. Sometimes it is to choose a good guardian warrior. But this time It doesn't seem to make sense. We captured a Babylonian warrior when we were resisting. We knew from his mouth that the Holy City was conducting a selection to select the best young male warriors. Say yes, say yes..."
"What is it?"
"I heard that they are about to have a new city lord, who is a woman. And choose an excellent male warrior to be the husband of the city lord, so as to produce the best and most powerful descendants."
Xia was stunned.
Immediately he scolded: "Damn!!"
The new city owner? husband
Marler's next door! !
He immediately threw the female elf on the ground, picked up a sword and was about to stab it. Finally, someone around him couldn't help but shouted: "Wait, wait!"
"Huh?" Xia Ya turned around and saw a middle-aged man in the caravan came out tremblingly: "This, this master, that..."
"Say!"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath: "Killing them is really a waste, you see, we have also killed a few excellent mercenaries, and we have to pay a large amount of pensions, these prisoners are just fine. Make up for our loss…”
"These guys, are they very valuable?" Xia Ya blurted out, and immediately realized that he was stupid.
Elves, especially the dark elves, have always been the favorite and most expensive commodity of human traffickers in the Empire.
Hunting authentic elves will also bear the risk of revenge by the elves, and will also lose the qualification to enter Babylon for trade-you must know that along the way into Babylon, the Chaos Territory is the place where the elves live.
But hunting dark elves is more cost-effective. These guys are considered traitors by the elves, and hunting them will not offend the elves.
And the dark elves still have elf blood, and these guys have beautiful appearances, both male and female. Especially the young female dark elves, with their hot and attractive body, beautiful appearance, and lustful nature, are the dreams of many rich and powerful people in the empire.
Because dark elves are also brutal and dangerous by nature, the price of capturing such prey is also extremely high, so a dark elf slave, especially a female dark elf slave, can be sold for almost sky-high prices in the market.
"You want these guys?" Xia changed her mouth and looked at the middle-aged man. He recognized that this middle-aged man was also a high-ranking leader in the caravan.
"Yes… "
"Very well, you can ask for a price." Xia Ya looked at the other party's stunned look, and said coldly, "You don't think I should give them to you for nothing, do you? I caught these guys myself. , it has nothing to do with you."
Although he is a companion, Char is instinctively disgusted by this kind of human trafficking.
"Then, what price do you want, we can negotiate..."
"I don't want money." Xiaya said immediately, "But I need someone, someone who knows how to get to Babylon City from here, and I need a guide."
Xia Ya's words shocked everyone.
"Yes, you heard right, I need a guide! Because from now on, we are going to part ways." Xia Ya said coldly, "If anyone knows the way, they can sign up by themselves. I promise to give him 10,000 gold coins afterwards. As a reward!"
When this price came out, many people took a deep breath.
It was tempting indeed, but no one spoke right away.
After all, although there were many people in the caravan, there were not many guides who knew the way. This kind of golden trade route is only controlled by a few large business groups in the empire, and the guides who recognize the road are people from the core circle of the large business groups.
Although 10,000 gold coins are very attractive, if you follow the caravan to Babylon, the income is not much higher. Not to mention... people instinctively feel that it is safer to be around a lot of people.
Although Xia Ya is brave, it seems to be very dangerous to go alone with him in this vast forest...
After a moment of silence, a voice finally sounded.
"I, I will."
The person under the wheel slowly came out, patted the dust on his body, and said with a determined expression: "Master, I am willing to go with you, I know the way."
Xiaya recognized the fear of death who hid under the wheels during the battle just now, and smiled: "Are you sure you know the way?"
"Of course." The guy immediately said loudly, "I know, this is the third time I've gone this route. You see, in the battle just now, all the guys I brought with me died, and there were no mercenaries. If you can protect us, I am willing to go with you."
"Very good, it's you." Xiaya nodded, and then pointed to a few elves on the ground: "These guys are also yours, you can sell them to others now, how much you sell is your own business. ."
"thanks!"
Immediately, this guy's eyes lit up. He walked into the crowd and talked for a while with the leaders of several caravans. The two sides signed a contract.
To Xiaya's surprise, except for the one killed by him, the other guys sold a total of 40,000 gold coins!
Although it is impossible to carry so many gold coins with him, with the signed contract, as long as this guy can return to the empire, he can take the contract to the business group to exchange cash.
Xiaya has three more horses to walk.
The three of them left the convoy on the road, speeding up and heading towards the depths of Lin Hai.
When the caravan behind him was no longer in sight, Xia looked at the guide on the horse next to him. This guy has good riding skills. Obviously, the guy who has been out doing business all year round seems to be very capable.
"You don't seem as brave as you look." Xia said with a smile, "How dare you leave the team and follow me alone."
"Bah, those guys are all idiots." The guide immediately turned to Xiaya with a flattering smile: "My lord, I'm very timid, but at least I have some wisdom, they Although there are many, but following them will definitely lead to a dead end, and you can only survive if you follow the master."
"Oh?" Xia Ya smiled playfully.
"Of course!" The guide smiled flatteringly: "The caravan has already been targeted by the black elf tribe, and they have suffered a big loss, and they will definitely not give up and will attack again. There is no brave and invincible one. Sir, you are in town, the caravan is being targeted by a black elf tribe in this vast forest, and they may not have the chance to make it to Babylon alive! God testifies, maybe they will have to fight for a maximum of two days after walking. I'm back! The safest way is to follow you, Master!!"
Xia Ya couldn't help looking at this guy a few more times and sighed: "Speaking of which, I suddenly realized that you are very similar to a guy I know..."
"Oh? I'm so proud to be so similar to your honorable friend, my honorable lord... "
Xia Ya touched his nose, nodded, and said in a serious tone, "You are the same wretchedness, the same cunning... and the same... shameless!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at the shameless and cunning guide: "Don't worry, you made the wisest choice in your life, follow me, and you will reach Babylon safely and alive."
Hasting next to him finally interjected again: "Xia Ya, you seem to have forgotten one thing."
"what?"
"Passport." Hasting said lightly: "Without pass, all the races in the forest will see us as interlopers, elves, dwarves, giants... and others. Messy bastard who knows what."
"I can't control that much anymore!" Xia Ya whipped his horse fiercely: "Whoever stops me, I will let go and kill!"
Oh shit! Dare to pick a husband for Nene! ! !
The blue veins burst out on the forehead of the turtle! What is certain is that even if there is a giant dragon standing in front of him, the angry turtle will bravely trample it down!
Nene! Nene!
Heck! ! Lao Tzu is the inner man!
Lao Tzu is the "uncle" of the gang of horse thieves! ! !
