Dark Redemption of Elf

"What? You don't know about the Ancient Era?" Lan Keke looked at Ayton in surprise, and the latter shrugged helplessly. He had only heard of the Dark Era two thousand years ago and the current Light Era. According to rumors, people called the two thousand years of prosperity before the era of demon invasion the Dark Age. It was not until the demons were expelled that people renamed it the Light Age. More than two thousand years have passed until now.

The books in the Tangtang Yaolan Kingdom must be much richer than those in the outside world. Lan Keke soon understood and slowly explained: "The Ancient Era refers to the era that happened before the Dark Era. Although the current records of the Dark Era are not very clear, they still exist. There are many records in many documents, especially the two thousand years of demon wars, the long-lived forest elf books, the ancient murals of orcs, and our human holy church. However, these records seem to depict some even It was something they didn’t understand at that time, so we call that time the Ancient Era.”

"..." Ariel said that she was confused, but Ayton roughly understood it. Anyway, it was very ancient, similar to ancient myths and vague legends that can no longer be verified.

According to Ayton's suggestion, the three of them came to an old grocery store. The boss was a tall middle-aged man. He saw that the visitors were all wearing white robes and knew from the bright blue marks on their shoulders. They were all distinguished mages who came to the imperial capital for training, but they didn't show much enthusiasm and just let them take a look at it.

Ayton picked out some mosquito repellent, sachets, waterproof bags, ropes, flints, peripheral maps of the Forest of Despair and other items. He packed them in one go and then put them into the storage space when no one was around.

After paying the money, Ayton still felt that something was missing. What is the most important thing to survive in the wild, medicine, food, weapons...

There is certainly no shortage of weapons. Although Bi'er is following him all the way, he is not going to rely too much on magic. Instead, he thinks of the survival knowledge from his previous life. There is no shortage of bandages, ointments, etc., but there is no shortage of disinfectant medicines. However, My body has a strong immune system, so wound infections rarely occur, but just in case, I asked the boss about the nearest pub...

Before they even entered the tavern, the noisy shouts inside reached the ears of the three of them, including some vulgar curses from the mercenaries. Lan Keke frowned. She had seen a lot of such rudeness when she was out alone. people.

"Ayton, what are we doing here?" She looked at Ayton in confusion.

"What else can we do, buy a drink?" Ariel took the lead and walked in without taking it seriously. The crowd inside instinctively glanced at the visitor. The atmosphere in the scene suddenly became quiet. Ayton and the other three ignored their glances and walked straight away. Go to the tavern counter.

"Bring me a bottle of your highest-alcohol wine." Ayton knocked on the wooden counter with his knuckles, causing the pudgy tavern owner to come back to his senses.

He turned his eyes to the brilliant blue third-level magician logo embroidered on the chest of Ayton's robe, took a breath, and said nervously: "Dear magician, the highest alcohol content...this"

"Oh, it's the strongest wine. Let's have a bottle first." Ayton suddenly explained. The tavern was not big, and there were only about twenty or thirty ordinary mercenaries. Although they were initially surprised by the appearance of the two women, they noticed their magic. When he saw the sign of the master, he instantly gave up some of his thoughts and continued to chat quietly with his companions. The topic was nothing more than the new students from Yaolan Magic Academy and the rumored ruins found deep in the Forest of Despair.

After a while, the tavern owner put a bottle of wine that he had collected for a long time on the counter. He wiped the nervous sweat on his face and said, "Dear Master Magician, this is the most precious 'Drunken Dragon' in the shop. Xiang', the market price is about 3 gold coins, in the entire Black Rock City..."

"Here." Ayton interrupted him unceremoniously and placed three gold coins on the counter. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that many of the mercenaries around him were eating food similar to sesame cakes. The smell seemed pretty good. "Do you still have those kind of sesame cakes?"

"Yes, of course. Dear Master Magician, please wait a moment." The fat boss stared at the gold coins on the table with bright eyes and agreed with joy. When he was about to leave, he was stopped by Ayton.

"Three cards first"

"okay"

Ayton nodded lightly and took the two women to a corner to sit down. During this period, Ariel noticed that many eyes were secretly looking at them. She coldly took out the 'Liuhua' hidden in her boots and slowly rolled it around on her fingertips.

When he was bored, Ayton once again asked Lan Keke for information about the city of Santa Gafila. It turned out that she didn't know much. Most of them were very unfounded legends. Although the destination of Yaolan Academy this time I went there to check the authenticity of the rumors, but in fact I just went there to wander around and hunt the surrounding magical beasts. Otherwise, why would the academy team be divided into seven groups when we set off tomorrow?

Suddenly, a red-haired young man in a black cloak, about 20 years old, walked quietly into the tavern. He was covered in mud, as if he had just crawled out of the mud, and his extremely gloomy face was full of strangers. Stay away.

When everyone's eyes focused on him again, the originally noisy movement immediately subsided.

At that moment, the pudgy boss came out with a plate containing three freshly baked sesame cakes, bowed and placed it on the table where Ayton was sitting, "Master Magician, please use it with caution."

Ayton was the first to pick up one and took a bite. The taste was good, and he quietly ordered: "Bring me fifty more sesame cakes like this."

The pudgy boss was stunned for a while. When he came back to his senses, his face lit up and he agreed repeatedly. When he stood up straight, his eyes met the red-haired man walking towards him. The former was stunned for a moment, then turned around and took out a small box from the deepest part of the counter.

Feeling that the atmosphere in the field had calmed down, Ayton also cast his eyes doubtfully on the red-haired man for a moment. Under his wide black cloak, he carried a nearly 1.5-meter dark long bow. The quiver contained fifty There were still jet black arrows, and many fine iron arrowheads were stained with faint traces of blood.

His appearance seems to be no different from that of an ordinary adventurer, but for some reason, this person brings an instinctive sense of danger to Ayton. This feeling only appeared in Clementine when he first encountered him!

With a click, Ariel withdrew the spinning butterfly knife and looked warily at Ayton on her right, who hinted to her not to act rashly.

Lan Keke didn't seem to feel this way, and she didn't know if it was because of Cexili's nerves. She took out a sesame seed cake with her bare hands and chewed it slowly. But then again, it is indeed time for dinner...

Suddenly, a strange smell wafted over, causing the three of them to cover their noses in unison. The two people talking softly in front of the counter seemed to have opened something. After haggling for a while, the red-haired man took out something. He handed the small bag of gold coins to the tavern owner. Before leaving, the corner of his eye lingered on Ayton for a while.

After the man left, everyone in the tavern started talking quietly again.

"The aroma of wine is so familiar, it seems to be a very high-alcohol wine." Lan Keke inhaled the remaining aroma of wine in the air, and Ariel curled her lips and spoke.

"Who is this guy?"

Ayton frowned and signaled her to stop talking. He listened to the conversations of the mercenaries around him. The voices of more than 20 mouths were chaotic, but they did not deliberately hide anything. Only then did he hear the red name from the mercenaries. The man's name is Sauron. His profession is not a mercenary or an adventurer, but he calls himself a hunter? !

He is very famous in Black Rock City, but he is withdrawn and unwilling to take risks with others, but there are many such people.

But what caught Ayton's attention the most was that the red-haired hunter he heard was called Sauron was not hunting a monster, but a dark elf who changed his mind at the sound...

Only then did Ayton understand the sense of oppression that gave him...

"Ayton? Ariel?" Lan Keke, who was next to him, naturally heard this key message and hesitantly opened his mouth to test.

"It's okay, we'll leave when the things come up," Ayton replied in a deep voice. The tavern is a mixed bag, and every time you come you'll encounter something good, so it's better to leave quickly. But from the conversation just now, he also heard something interesting...dragon excrement?

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Seeing Ayton stand up, Ariel put Liuhua back into her boots.

"Stay here and don't move, I'm going to ask something." After Ayton said that, he came to the counter and hooked his fingers at the pudgy boss who was still standing there, and whispered: "Do you still have that thing just now? ?”
