Goudan hides on the tree, peeking carefully at the scene not far away through the dense branches and leaves.
A group of people were talking about something around the bonfire. They all carried various strange weapons on their bodies, and there were several carriages a little farther away from the bonfire.
The goods on some of the carriages were covered with thick linen, and the situation inside could not be seen, but the others were very obvious. In the place where the carriages should have been, there were several empty cages.
This is a slave catcher.
As the name suggests, it is a team that captures slaves.
This kind of deformed organization generally only appears in humans. Except for humans and orcs, most other humanoid races do not have the concept of slaves.
Although the orcs also have slaves, they will only take the opponent's tribe as slaves after killing their respectable enemies on the battlefield.
After all, unlike humans, orcs live in relatively barren and barren land, are not good at production, and most of the orcs are reckless and upright, unable to do meticulous work, so the gods they believe in are either the God of War or the Beastmaster God, and almost no one knows how to do it. To believe in the God of Harvest...
It is precisely because of this that the food of the orcs has always been in a state of shortage. Defeating the enemy on the battlefield and making them into dried meat is one of the biggest sources of food for the orcs. If there is no industrial revolution and there is no shortage of labor, Naturally, they will not think of ways to keep slaves like humans.
For them, slaves will only consume their own tribe's food in vain, and the price/performance ratio is extremely low, and it does not have much effect.
But human beings are different. Even if manors and other situations that require manpower to reclaim the land are aside, for nobles in most countries, slaves themselves are a kind of wealth, similar to domestic animals.
Some rare alien slaves are symbols that can be used to show off their financial resources and means.
Among these so-called "rare foreign slaves", the most precious are the forest elves.
In terms of human aesthetics, forest elves, both men and women, have an extremely gorgeous appearance. As one of the few humanoid races that can live in harmony with nature, forest elves also have an indescribable ethereal temperament.
Most of them have a long life span of more than three thousand years, and they have talents in magic, archery, art, etc. that humans cannot match. pass on...
However, it has been a long time since human beings have caught a real forest elf. It is said that the price of a forest elf on the black market has soared to the level of a shining crystal that is 10 times its weight.
Since they will appear in the Great Forest Sea of Trinia, it means that the target of these people is naturally the legendary forest elves who live in the depths of the Great Forest Sea.
"Are these guys crazy?"
Goudan muttered softly.
Even he, who was just a child in a mountain village, knew that the reason why there were no real forest elves for sale in the slave market was not because people couldn't find forest elves.
After all, the legendary forest elves' habitats are only those few vast forests. As long as enough people are employed, they can always be found if they let go.
But the problem is, even if you can find the residence of the forest elves, you can't beat them with the strength of ordinary people...
Because of their long lifespan, the forest elves can learn various skills step by step, so almost every adult elf is a highly accomplished magician, a perfect marksman, and a great artist with superb aesthetic and artistic accomplishment.
In terms of combat power alone, every adult elf is equivalent to a cardinal of a medium-sized church, and even better. After all, every adult elf is a powerful hunter with rich experience in actual combat, and most of the cardinals are empty. He has powerful divine arts, but if he is not mentally prepared, he may not even be able to defeat some experienced knights.
So when he discovered these slave-catching teams, Goudan couldn't help but feel a little strange: Who gave them the courage to come to the Great Forest of Trinia to capture the elves
He posted a post telling Edward about their current situation, but at the same time warned Edward that they should not act rashly.
After all, the behavior of this slave hunting team is too weird. Just relying on their apparent strength, even a single adult elf can wipe them out two or three times...
If you really want to attack the forest elves, as long as you have to mobilize a fully armed army of 10,000 people, and have a team of mages and chants, you can barely fight. You have to pray that the hostile elves don't listen to the forest High-level units such as warriors, ancient moon god trees, and silver dragons...
In fact, even if humans really gather such an army, I am afraid that before attacking the forest elves, the other party will know the situation of humans in advance through their connection with the forest, pack up their things and leave earlier, leaving only humans An empty village of tree houses.
Many human scholars who study alien cultures have always believed that if the elves' reproductive ability is too low, it would take hundreds of years for a small tribe to add one or two newborns, and if the gods they believe in don't like fighting, I'm afraid The master of this continent has long been replaced by elves, not like now, where humans can occupy a large area of territory and show off their might.
In the post, Edward and the others vowed that they would be careful not to act rashly, but Goudan knew very well that after they became players who would never really die, they always liked to jump repeatedly on the verge of death. Curiosity has completely transformed into a burst of action.
Even if he was warned by himself, it probably wouldn't be of any use.
If an ordinary person, after seeing a button labeled 'Don't touch, you will die', will suppress his curiosity and not touch it without knowing why; then once he becomes a player , even if other people try their best to stop him, he will try his best to press the button to see what will happen...
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Goudan to see several familiar names floating in mid-air on the top of the bushes not far away.
Just when Goudan wanted to meet them in the past and tell them some information that was not clear in the post, he was moved in his heart, and carefully stuck it on the tree, and then triggered the reward he got after he changed his job to Jungle Walker. The emerald heart makes his aura completely merge with the surrounding natural environment. Even if someone stands in front of him, it may be difficult to find that there is someone hiding beside him.
Not long after he finished these things, some well-concealed figures who were only a little worse than dog eggs began to appear around the slave catchers...
