Three days after leaving the Silver Fang Clan's village, Yang Yu successfully arrived at the Forest of Elves with the help of Lothkar's legs.
Contrary to Iyas's impression, the outskirts of the Elf Forest, which should have been quite peaceful and tranquil, are now guarded by a large number of orc soldiers.
They found an deserted place to ambush, and while a patrolling officer was not paying attention, Yang Yu and his men dragged him into the grove and carefully questioned him about the situation in the Elf Forest.
At first, the patrolling officer refused to obey, so Yang Yu took out a long sword and put it on his neck, telling him that if he was unwilling to answer questions, he would kill him and then go to other officers to inquire about the situation until he got the information he wanted.
The officer had no choice but to start answering Yang Yu's questions one by one.
After the tragedy a year ago, the Elf Queen did not take the initiative to ask for assistance from the royal family of Wansheng Kingdom.
All the orcs here were assigned by the king to serve as guards in order to prevent slave hunters from pouring into the elven village again and causing tragedy.
According to statistics, there are about 132,000 elves now, and the whereabouts of more than 3,000 are unknown.
Apart from Luoyu, the central city with a large population where the Elf Queen lives, two-thirds of the elven population lives in more than 300 villages of various sizes in the Elf Forest.
Many elves will never leave the village where they live most of the time, and most of the communication with other villages is done by the village priests.
It was the first time that Iyas heard that the elves had so many villages and such a large population.
This cannot be blamed on Iyas. As an excellent elf warrior, Iyas's activities are limited to her village and the nearby forest, and her cognition is also limited there.
So, when she first met Yang Yu, Iyas thought that the human world was no different from her village, and believed that she could find Hake quickly.
Now it seems that, let alone the human world, Iyas didn't know much about the situation of their clan from the beginning.
This is like a country girl who has never left the village or been to the nearby county town, but directly parachutes into a big city like Shanghai or Paris.
However, after following Yang Yu to see so many big cities, Iyas was not overly surprised by this information, and even talked about the Elf Queen.
Although many elves will not leave their villages, the Elf Queen will occasionally choose a village to inspect.
At that time, the village would gather the outstanding elf warriors to be inspected by the queen.
This was an unparalleled honor, and Iyas had been proud of having received a personal audience from the Queen.
But when Yang Yu asked how many times Iyas had seen the Elf Queen in her life, Iyas hesitantly replied that she had only seen her twice.
Huck was even more pitiful, having only been seen once, and that was three years ago.
"The Elf Queen comes once every few decades. Can you call this occasionally?"
Suppressing the urge to complain, Yang Yu could only continue to ask the orc officer about the situation of the elves.
After all, Iyas and Hake were just ordinary elves, living in a relatively remote village. Naturally, they didn't know much about the situation in the center of the Elf Forest. They only heard a little from the priests and couldn't count on them at all.
Unfortunately, the captured officers had no idea about the internal situation of the elves. They were just following orders to guard the elves.
Since the elves have always been very conservative and their superiors told them not to get close to the elves, the officers naturally knew very little.
He also knew that in order to prevent something similar to what happened a year ago from happening again, the Elf Queen had also sent her personal guards to guard Luo Yu. It would be extremely dangerous to approach him without permission.
It is indeed quite dangerous for Yang Yu and his friends, but for ordinary elves, the city where the Elf Queen is located is undoubtedly the safest place. There is no place more suitable for Hake to be placed than there.
In order to settle Huck, I have to go there.
By the way, Yang Yu also wanted to try to see if he could complete the hidden task [Elves and Goddesses]. Apart from anything else, a legendary lottery was really tempting.
After completing [Lotkar's Revenge] and solidifying his relationship with Lotkar into trust, Yang Yu received a new task, which was one of the twenty projects.
The rewards for the mission remain basically the same, still the fragments of the [Chain of Heaven] and a legendary lottery.
If you want to complete the mission [Silver Wolf and the Giant Dragon], you have to at least go to the Dragon God Conference and see the giant dragon. Only then can you carefully observe the similarities and differences between the giant dragon and the silver wolf.
As for the hidden quest [Darkness of the Birth of Plants] as a quest reward.
According to the nature of the system, as long as the relationship with a certain plant family is permanently solidified into trust, you should be able to start this task directly. It is not necessary to complete the [Silver Wolf and Dragon] task.
However, it is not easy to go back to the plant tribe now.
At least I can't go back until I have completely gained their trust, let alone permanently solidify the relationship into trust with one of the plant tribe.
After continuing to interrogate the officer about the war between Wansheng Kingdom and Luoze Empire, Yang Yu took out a plastic-wrapped corn candy and asked the officer to eat it, and threatened him.
"How is it? Is it delicious? The candy you just ate is a magic candy. If you dare to tell anyone about our affairs within three years, your body will disappear with a bang."
After saying that, Yang Yu released the officer without hesitation and let him return the same way he came.
The orc officer had no words to express his grievances. Seeing Yang Yu let him go without any hesitation, he suspected that there was indeed something wrong with the candy, and this was exactly what Yang Yu wanted.
Once some doubts arise, they will turn into certainties in the days to come.
As the old saying goes, when you suspect someone is cheating, no matter how you look at him, he is cheating.
Be brief and to the point.
You think they are playing tricks because you are wearing tinted glasses.
After collecting intelligence, Yang Yu began to work on breaking through the orcs' defenses.
Originally, Yang Yu had a more gentle way to break through the defense line, such as stripping off the officer's clothes, letting Lothkar transform into an orc, pretending to rescue Ias and his officers, and pass through the checkpoint.
But, now that I'm here, word has spread about a few people disrupting the defense line in the past half month, and my level cap has also been raised, so of course I have to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some experience.
The average attributes of the guards here are between 200-300, and few exceed 400.
Such attributes can barely be considered elite in the army, which shows how much the royal family of Wansheng Kingdom values elves.
These guards were obviously enough to deal with the groups of slave hunters.
However, they are still a long way from being able to deal with Yang Yu.
