Who on earth, and for what purpose, captured so many elves that the market could not absorb in one go
This will have a fatal impact on the subsequent elf slave hunting.
It makes sense that they invaded the Elf Forest and captured so many elves in one go in order to make huge profits in the market.
But this kind of one-time deal seems so stupid.
It was as if, after doing this job, they would completely retire and never do this again.
If this is true, there is no need to worry even if there is a subsequent impact on the elf slave market.
But Yang Yu didn't think things would be that simple.
Not to mention anything else, those people wanted to sneak into Wansheng Country quietly under the nose of Wansheng Country, and then transport the captured elves out of Wansheng Country in large quantities. It is impossible that no one noticed their actions.
After all, there are too few details known, and Yang Yu dare not jump to conclusions. He can only keep the possibilities he can think of at the moment in his heart, collect details bit by bit, and find the answer that is closest to the truth.
However, someone has planted traitors in the Plant Clan and the Silver Fang Clan, and there is a high probability that the Elf Clan has also been infiltrated by a traitor.
If it was really done by a traitor in collusion with humans, what on earth was the traitor thinking that he was willing to sacrifice so many of his people for this
In any case, to uncover the real mastermind and the traitor, evidence is needed. Words like Lotkar's are not convincing enough.
We need to learn some information from the Elf Queen and also need to get details from insiders so that we can follow the clues.
Re-boarding Lothkar, they traveled through the Elf Forest. On the way, Yang Yu and his companions saw two more elf villages.
These two elf villages have long been deserted, and no living elves can be seen.
However, these two elven villages were not burned into charcoal like Iyas's village. On the contrary, every house was intact without any signs of destruction.
Pick a house and walk into it, and you'll find that all the daily necessities inside have been swept away, but that's all.
A tragedy happened a year ago. The elves must have received the news from the village priests and were worried about their own safety.
All living things have the instinct to gather towards safer places, and elves are no exception.
The safest place in this elven forest is the Fallen Feather City where the elven queen lives. Most of the elves from these two villages have moved their entire villages to the Fallen Feather City.
Among the elves, the Elf Queen has absolute authority. If the Elf Queen asks them to return to their original place, the elves will definitely return.
There was a lot of dust accumulated in the house, which meant that the Elf Queen also tacitly allowed the elves to migrate to the City of Fallen Feathers.
Gathering all the tribesmen together is a good means of protection and can also reduce the pressure of patrolling.
However, more people will naturally bring other new problems. I wonder how the Elf Queen will deal with them.
Yang Yu set off again on the Lothkar and confirmed with Iyas that the elves had not developed any efficient means of transportation. Usually, the communication between villages was done by the village priests on foot. They didn't even domesticate any livestock, nor did they need to.
To the village outside the Elf Forest, the priest and the queen contacted each other once and moved forward at full speed. A round trip would take about three to five days.
Elves have long lives and don't have anything important to do in their daily lives, so they can completely accept this slow-paced life.
By the way, Yang Yu also learned that even the priests who moved extremely quickly were basically confined to the ground in their range of activities. They could not fly in the sky like the magicians in the Library of All Things, ignoring the terrain and achieving rapid communication.
Hake added that even if the elves could fly, the elves would not allow them to fly at will.
For the elves, flying at will is itself a blasphemy against their faith.
In the culture of elves, only those elves who are specially blessed by the goddess can grow white wings and fly into the sky.
The reason why the elven city where the queen lives is called Luoyu is probably because of this reason. They are all featherless people.
Looking at the tasks on the panel, Yang Yu seemed to be thinking about something.
At this moment, Lotkar turned his ears alertly to capture some tiny sounds in the forest.
Suddenly, several arrows shot out from the darkness. Lotkar hurriedly stopped, jumped back, and instantly avoided the arrows, leaving them empty.
Seeing the pattern of the bows and arrows stuck in the ground, Iyas quickly realized who was attacking them.
"Yang Yu, these arrows are extremely light. They were launched by the hunting team to divert attention.
I have also been in a hunting team. The prey in this forest are extremely cunning. As long as the elves get close and they smell or see their appearance, they will disappear without a trace.
So we came up with a plan, which was to take advantage of their escape and use bows and arrows to reveal our location, so as to scare the prey and force them to the route where the strongest team was located, and then hunt them.
In order not to alert the prey, the person who is trying to lure them usually stays away from the prey, only takes a quick look at the prey before launching an attack.
Iyas paused.
“Lotkar’s giant wolf form is too huge, and they may have overlooked our presence.
We should not panic at this time, but should make our presence known and let them know that we are the same elves as them, then they will not take action!
”
After saying that, Iyas stood up from Lotkar's back and shouted into the distance.
"Hunting team! Don't attack! We are elves too! The footsteps are not from rare large prey, but from the Silver Fang tribe carrying us."
As soon as Iyas shouted this, a rustling sound was heard in the quiet forest, and then several figures kept jumping forward from the forest. After confirming that the person on Lotkar's back was indeed an elf, the members of the hunting team jumped down from the treetops in unison and landed near Lotkar.
They held bows and arrows, keeping the bowstrings drawn, staring at Lotkar cautiously, and raised their heads to look at Ias who stood up on Lotkar's back.
Suddenly, an unbelievable voice sounded in Yang Yu's ears.
"Iyashaha, are you still alive?"
Looking closely, I saw that the person who made the voice was a female elf of medium height with a ponytail. Although she was not as tall as Ias, her appearance was also extremely outstanding. She had a pair of heroic eyes on her pretty face and looked extremely reliable. Her emerald green clothes were light and practical, showing off her curvy figure.
She stood in the middle of the team, which meant that she was the leader of this small force. She was able to greet Iyas and Huck, which meant that she was an acquaintance of Iyas and Huck.
This time, I don’t know whether I am lucky or unlucky.
