"Your Excellency Filar, we have already found out the schedule of the merchant ships at the pier, and we can leave in the afternoon!" Robin curiously looked at Qin Lun, who was leisurely standing at the hotel window, holding a cup of Nanluo tea.
According to the current information, this silver-haired elf is a Jondal moon elf who returned from his travels, which is very close to the profile of the apostle. Moreover, his temperament is very different from those of the young descendants of the royal family such as Mileras and Elistine. He is not only careful, but also ruthless and unscrupulous. He really doesn't seem like a plot elf.
His sudden rise has led to changes in the main plot of "Road to the Ancients". Although it is reasonable for "The Ancient Road (Pseudo)" to appear in the Ank Elf Court, Robin believes that this plot should not be inspired by the moon elves who were born in Jondal.
It's just that the Lost Team couldn't find a flaw in Feral Moonlight in front of him. Just looking at the Shadow Gale Leopard lying in the middle of the room and yawning, Robin felt extremely contradictory. They traveled through three forests, and of course they could recognize this summoned beast as a unique creature in this world, which confirmed Filar's plot identity from the side, which is really hard to be suspicious.
"Okay, thanks for your hard work, Captain Robin!" Qin Lun didn't turn his head, but turned the porcelain cup in his hand, thinking about the unknown journey ahead.
It has been the fourth day since the departure from Anker Forest, and it is also the twenty-third day since the Fortress team entered the world of Toril. After accepting his warning, the two teams of Lost and Fortress just rested for two days in the Anker Elven Court, and then dragged Mileras away.
Compared with rest, the two teams are more worried about the intervention of other apostle teams. You must know that "The Ancient Road (false)" is likely to be the main plot of other teams.
As Qin Lun expected, after Fortress and Lost began to cooperate, Robin took the initiative of the two teams. This is also something that can’t be helped, the apostle respects the strong, regardless of the strength of the team, Robin, as the leader of the Lost Newcomers, is much better than Stark in terms of experience and planning ability.
Qin Lun didn't ask Robin about the mission process. Since he hinted that the beautiful head of the group should handle the mess well, he didn't need to pay attention to the next development of the incident. Apostles are not messengers of justice, as long as it is beneficial to the mission, killing is the most commonly used method.
When it comes to destroying corpses and hiding clues, no one can be around the apostles. After all, hiding identities is a compulsory course for every apostle. Even if Holmes came, it would be impossible to find out the truth of the incident in a short time.
After Robin went out, Qin Lun turned back to the table, put down the teacup, and his eyes fell on the two items on the table. It was a red sandalwood longbow and a map of the southwestern part of Faerun.
The red sandalwood longbow is one of the adventure items prepared for him by the high priest of Menon. This longbow is much better than the oak longbow he originally used for familiar skills. It is a legendary magical weapon made of branches of the world tree. The former owner He is a legendary ranger of the Moonshadow tribe.
There are complex lines on the bow body that flicker and dim, exuding subtle magical fluctuations. Before Qin Lun's departure, Great Elder Adeline worked day and night without sleep for two consecutive days to help him make twelve magical long arrows mixed with mithril, which are extremely powerful and can be used as a trump card.
With Qin Lun's strength, he couldn't actually pull the longbow at all, and his physical attributes couldn't meet the requirements.
However, the High Priest Menon gave him a wooden wrench carved from the heart of the World Tree. With the compatibility between the two items, he allowed him to circumvent the equipment requirements and obtain the approval of this legendary longbow.
The only pity is that the magic law of this longbow is too deeply integrated with the world of Toril. Unless it is helped by the broken starry sky, even if the broken crystal is fused to make it an apostle item, it will lose the spirit of the weapon and the spirituality of the law. It becomes only a bow-shaped branch of the world tree.
Although the world tree branch is also a top-quality equipment material, it is no longer a legendary weapon.
In addition to this legendary longbow, another map of the southwestern part of Faerun was provided by King Tynquilas. Not only the detailed situation of Sespeets Kingdom, but also the two human kingdoms of Calimshan and Tethyr, as well as the geographical environment of the Snowflake Mountains and Giant Plains in the northwest of Sespeets.
For the two apostle teams, this map is even more precious than legendary items. Think about it, Stark just bought a projected map of a 100-kilometer area near Elbad, and directly paid for more than a dozen broken stars. Wan's Broken Crystal shows the value of this map.
Of course, to Qin Lun's delight, at the same time as he got this map, a gratifying reminder appeared on the death list.
Broken Starry Sky has not yet acknowledged the authenticity of this map. However, as long as the Sun Elf envoy passes through the area where this map is located, he will be able to gain relevant world exploration points for each confirmed area, and it only belongs to the map owner, that is, He is alone.
Qin Lun's fingers flicked lightly on the animal skin map, from Anker Forest to Anker Hemp, and then all the way west to Mingta, the steam lake seaport in the west of Sespets Kingdom.
Going further west from Minta is Calimshan. Of course, the western border of Sespeits Kingdom also borders Tethyr. It’s just that the Sun Elf Mission wants to retrace the ancient road, so they can’t take shortcuts. They can only honestly go to Calimshan first, and then go north to Tethyr.
Without the sniping from the Zhentarim, Mileras would actually prefer to go overland. After all, King Tynquilas has a good relationship with the Kingdom of Sespets, and there will be no large-scale attacks in its territory.
However, now that there is a hidden danger of the Zhentalin Society, they can only go to Calimshan through the sea route of the Lake of Steam. The task difficulty of the "Road to the Ancients" plot line fluctuates greatly. If you have fooled the Zhentarim and other potential enemies, then the task difficulty may not be below the school level. But if you are unlucky and run into a legendary powerhouse from the Zhentarim, it will be at the major general level difficulty, and the two major apostle teams will be completely annihilated.
Currently, there are a total of thirteen apostles in Fortress and Lost, plus story elves such as Elistine and Mileras, making a total of 19 people. The advantage is that the target is small, and the enemy is relatively difficult to track. The disadvantage is that once attacked by multiple high-level powerhouses, there will be no substitutes.
Qin Lun claimed to that Byronian thief named Saigon that they were going to the port of Suldover, but it was only half-truth and half-false news. The Port of Suldover is located at the tip of the Amraven Peninsula in Calimshan, across the sea from the Port of Zemas in the Border Kingdom, and its geographical shape is similar to the Strait of Gibraltar of the Earth Federation.
Passing through the port of Suldover and sailing west along the southern coast of Calimshan, you can reach the capital of the kingdom - Calimport.
If the potential enemies of the Sun Elf Mission can obtain this information, the credibility is considered very high. However, in fact, Qin Lun and the others would stop halfway and land directly at Jespike on the Amraven Peninsula, and then cross the Alamer Mountains on the peninsula to enter Calimshan.
The Alamer Mountains are rugged and difficult to walk. Most of the peaks are above 1,000 meters above sea level. In ancient times, this place belonged to the southernmost point of the dwarf Santana Empire. Legend has it that there was a dwarf fortress in the heart of Alamer Mountain.
This route can be said to be the most difficult route from Anker to Calimshan, but compared with the threat of the Zhentarim, it is nothing. At least for the two apostle teams, they would rather take the most difficult path than let their companions die at the hands of the strong in the plot.
What's more, their stay time is actually quite sufficient, so it doesn't matter if they take a few more steps. As for Mileras, after losing half of his personal guards, he has very little control over the route. As long as it is still on the route of the ancient road, he has no objections.
The migration of the Comanthori elves to Evermeet Island has been going on for more than ten years. At first, it was only a small-scale migration of a dozen or dozens of people. It was not until the Comanthor Elf Court really failed to survive the third-generation World Tree in the later period that they began an organized large-scale migration.
In the past two years, the migration of the sun elves has gradually reached its peak, and the loss of personnel has gradually increased to an unbearable level. This is why Mileras's mission this time.
Mileras not only needs to communicate with other elf courts on the mainland, but also ask them to assist the sun elves in relocating their team and build the Sun King Court on Yongju Island. And more importantly, he sent envoys to various human powers in the west of the mainland, asking them to agree to let the large migration of the sun elves pass through the border.
The continent of Faerun is just the opposite of the American region of the Earth Federation. The eastern continent is sparsely populated. The western part of the mainland, especially the coast of the Sword Coast along the line of Calimport-Baldur's Gate-Waterdeep City, belongs to the densely populated and commercially developed mainland essence.
From Comanthor to the current port of Ankheip, the Sun Elf Mission has actually traveled nearly half of the way, close to 5,000 kilometers, in terms of geographical travel. However, the first half of the ancient road is in the Eastern Continent, and most of the journey is the sea route in the Falling Star Sea and Weihong Sea.
In terms of the amount of tasks, even one-fifth is not enough, and there is still a long way to go. Only when you reach Calimport can you start the essence of the ancient road.
Of course, including the Sun Elf King, none of the Sun Elf believed that Mileras could complete this huge task at once. They only hoped that the Elf Prince could go as far as possible before paying the price of his life. Lay a good foundation for the second, or even the third mission to send out, and finally achieve this mission.
In fact, in the real history without the intervention of the apostles, Mileras, the prince of the sun elves, really failed to complete the ancient road. It wasn't until 1357 in the valley calendar, that is, two years later, that another Sun Elf prince walked the entire ancient road on the bones of his predecessors.
Qin Lun's eyes flickered slightly, and his right index finger tapped lightly on the Alamer Mountains marked on the map. After crossing the Alamer Mountains, they entered directly into the Mir Forest in the territory of Calimshan.
The Mir Forest belongs to the descendants of the elves of Ilfaron, and the moon elves are also in power. The Mir Elf Court will not help the Sun Elf Envoy, but with him, the Seopia Elf Prince, the situation is different.
Qin Lun really believed that the Elf King Mir would understand King Tynquilas' intentions, and he could only share the righteousness of the Sun Elf's return to the ancient road. Any month, the Elf King would be very happy to help them.
The Mir elves are the local snakes of Calimshan. With their help, reaching Calimport will not be a problem. This also means that the third stop of the "Road to the Ancients" plot is over.
This marching route was not actually his handwriting, but Robin's plan. However, Qin Lun also agreed with this route, at least he couldn't find any major mistakes.
Now, the only thing he needs to think about is whether to persuade the Fortress team to stop after arriving in Calimport.
