Lord of Arcane

Chapter 631 The arrival of refugees guarding the barrier
Conifera.

The originally bustling city of Conifera has been shrouded in panic at this time. Human businessmen are recruiting people everywhere, trying to leave here quickly through the teleportation circle of a mage tower in the city.

But at this time, it can basically be regarded as wartime, and no controller is willing to distribute the very precious and tight teleportation quota to a group of businessmen.

In addition to the wealthy businessmen, there are more guards and stewards under the chamber of commerce, and even the most common coachmen and porters, who are now blocked in the city of Conifera.

A huge invisible barrier covered the city of Conifera and a large area around it. It's not that no one tried to leave directly, but none of the barriers blocked it.

If you want to ask why a magical barrier that has never appeared in the past has risen in Conifera, just look at the elves that are constantly swarming and gathering on the south bank of the Tessa River not far to the south.

And in the east of Conifera City, outside the magic barrier, a large number of elves who used to live on the north bank of the Tessa River have surrounded them. A group of human mages are negotiating with a few leading elf mages through the magic barrier.

Under such circumstances, almost everyone thought of the very small but real possibility of an elf attack, and the few elves in Conifera City had already been controlled in advance.

No one is willing to let those unstable factors move freely under such circumstances.

……

Tessa Bridge, located not far south of Conifera City, connects both sides of the Tessa River. It is called "Tessa Bridge" on the human side, but it is called "Coney Bridge" on the elf side. ".

At this moment, on the bridge, Cosmo, a senior arcanist from Fenwick Tower, one of the seven towers, was looking warily at the elven mage who was less than five steps away from him.

A senior arcanist can be treated with such seriousness, naturally, only a high elf mage whose power is comparable to that of a grand arcanist.

But the high mage who claimed to be the special envoy of Cormanthor's crowned king brought an order from the Severton Council, and the order was also very outrageous, asking him to gather the elves who came to Conifera City as much as possible and provide them with Basic shelter, food.

Naturally, Cosmo couldn't simply believe in such an order. He asked his companion to contact Severton immediately, while he himself blocked Tessa Bridge, even though he knew that doing so would not stop a high-ranking mage Step forward.

But he did it anyway. Fortunately, the high mage didn't show his intention to attack, and even took the initiative to restrain the swarming elves. Otherwise, this place might have been in chaos long ago.

Just as Cosmo was guessing what the high mage's purpose was here, there was a little commotion among the elf refugees who were blocked on the south bank.

"Patriarch Nairo, are you sure that the one on the bridge is a high-ranking mage?"

"I'm absolutely sure. I've been to Comansol before, and I saw that statue in a square. The clothes and demeanor are exactly the same. I won't admit it!"

"That's bad, why did a senior mage stop us here? You said it was to liquidate our escape behavior? Or did you want to search for the wealth we have accumulated for many years?"

As soon as these words came out, many elves immediately became agitated, no matter what kind of possibility they could not accept, but their current behavior could meet these two possibilities.

"How about we go back?" An elf dressed as a commoner said weakly.

His words immediately attracted the eyes of other elves as if they were looking at a fool. A companion next to him immediately pulled him and explained in a low voice: "They have already escaped, don't you still want to go back and be raped by those terrible creatures?" Is it a statue?"

Speaking of this topic, the surrounding elves couldn't help shivering. They didn't even dare to mention drow's name, they only dared to use some referring words, as if saying that name would attract that terrible creature hunted down.

As for the statues, I didn’t see many elves with my own eyes, but they passed on to ten or ten to a hundred. Almost all the elves who fled here knew that the drow didn’t just simply kill them. But a statue that can feel pain all the time.

There are a few elves who have seen this painful statue with their own eyes. Whenever they mention the statue, they will lose their minds, as if they have seen something extremely terrifying.

Panic will spread. Almost none of the elves who can come here want to go back and face drow.

……

And when the elf refugees were discussing whether to sneak into the mountains first, and then escape into the human world, a strange change suddenly appeared on the bridge not far away.

Like a photoelectric explosion suddenly, a small spot suddenly appeared in the space, and then gradually expanded to form a slightly hazy huge mirror surface, and the opposite scene could be vaguely seen.

Immediately afterwards, a figure emerged from the mirror, and Cosmo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming, and quickly saluted, "Lord Harris!"

The person who came was the current person in charge of the Fenwick Tower—Grand Arcanist Harris, who was also Cosmo's direct superior.

When Harris was still at the other end of the portal, he noticed the elf mage standing on the Tessa bridge. As soon as he came over, he took the initiative to say hello, "Your Excellency Suviris, I didn't expect it to be you this time Come here yourself!"

Suweilis is a close friend of the crowned king of Cormanthor. As a senior mage, he often travels around under temporary orders. He has traveled to and from Netheril not once or twice, and Harris is quite familiar with him.

Seeing that Netheril sent a great arcanist, Suweilisi also eased his attitude, "The King Crown is very concerned about the safety of his people, and he specially asked me to come to pick them up. , can also be easily resolved.”

"I see!"

Harris was noncommittal about this reason. If he really valued the safety of his people so much, he wouldn’t let drow break through the line of defense. He didn’t believe that Comanthor really had nothing to do with drow, and he had to wait for the support of neighboring countries. the point.

But he didn't care about these little things. He came here just to prevent the other party from spying on the magic barrier of Conifera City. Although the original source of this protective barrier can be traced back to elf magic, it also contains the wisdom of Nether people .

Although Harris himself tends to have friendly cooperation with the elves, he still has basic precautions in his heart. Seeing that Suweilisi did not intend to continue the conversation, he ordered Cosmo, "Open the enchantment and let the people of Cormanthor enter the city rest."

"Yes."

The Cosmos didn't go back, but just sent back a piece of information, and after a while, the barrier disappeared.
