Dark Redemption of Elf

Chapter 58: Blue Coco Magician?

"What, how dare they..." Iluli stood up instantly, with a hint of doubt on her angry face, "Do the nobles of the Yaolan Kingdom not care?"

"I heard that the slave-catching group was backed by nobles, but I don't know if it was a noble from the Yaolan Kingdom or... the king. Anyway, the king sent troops to investigate several times, but they all disappeared one after another," the bard finished carefully. , looked at Ayton again. He wanted to arouse Ayton's interest, but he was also afraid that he would be strangled due to a slip of the tongue.

"Keep talking" Ayton groaned and stuffed another gold coin over.

The troubadour immediately beamed with joy and took the gold coin into his arms.

"I just came from the Land of Thorns. There were many rumors there that King Winston wanted to start a war and was about to increase taxes. Now he was in urgent need of gold coins and the support of the nobles, so he secretly instigated some nobles who were loyal to him. Come to capture the forest elf slaves. You also know that slave trading is the most profitable industry."

As the bard continued to talk, Iluli's face became more and more livid, and she was about to rebuke King Winston.

A man at the next table wearing a blue mage cloak whose face could not be seen stood up and spoke for King Yaolan: "They must be those nobles from Thorn City, they can never be my... king."

The voice was very clear, and she should be a girl about the same age as Ariel.

"No matter what, you human nobles... are so abominable," the forest girl said angrily. When she heard that her compatriots were being sold wantonly by humans, even Iluli, who had always been very peaceful, became rarely angry.

"This... there is nothing the king can do. He has really sent many people to investigate, and has released many imprisoned forest elves for the first time." The voice of the girl in blue gradually weakened, and she faced Forest Elf, she seemed a little guilty too.

Iluli didn't answer her, but sat down. With some tears in her eyes, she looked at the bard: "Isn't there a huge magic barrier on the border of our Flower Forest? How did those despicable slave-catching groups cross it? The one with the barrier? And there are also the peripheral ranger teams."

Bard: "Are you talking about that magic barrier? It is said that it was secretly destroyed by some powerful black magicians. Those peripheral rangers went to the northern Kingdom of Swisston two months ago. It is said that they were looking for a certain Missing Compatriots"

"Going to Swisston? Why are you going there?" Iluli frowned, why would the ranger go to a northern human kingdom.

"Eluli, we will pass by Thorn City later, and I will help your compatriots then," Ayton comforted, while pushing three silver coins to the bard, who immediately accepted them with a smile.

"Is there anything else you want to know? I also know something about an ancient battlefield somewhere in the Forest of Despair."

"No, we're leaving"

The bard glanced at the empty dining table and left.

"Are you going to Thorn City? Can I go with you?" The girl in blue suddenly jumped up and said.

"Why do you want to go with us?" Ayton looked at the girl in blue suspiciously, and saw her blue eyes shining with expectation, like a little girl who had never been out, full of curiosity about the outside world.

"Because... I want to help those suffering forest elves and investigate the Blood Wolf Thieves Group." The girl took out a staff inlaid with blue gems beside the table and said proudly, "Also, I But as a fourth-level mage, if I protect you, you will be fine."

"Fourth level magician? Is he very strong?" Ariel said, imitating Ayton's contempt for mercenaries. She didn't need anyone else to protect her.

"Um..." The girl in blue was speechless for a moment. Someone actually asked the question: Are fourth-level magicians strong? You must know that any magician has a high status on the mainland. Magicians are different from warriors. , magicians of the same level are much more destructive than warriors, and the number of magicians is very rare, with a ratio of about 1:20 to warriors.

Ayton looked at the staff in her hand. 'Rare' quality staff, enchanted with water attribute crystal core, water magic is greatly enhanced

"Why do you want to help the forest elves?" Ayton asked this question. Suddenly someone jumped out and said he wanted to help you, which would definitely make people feel suspicious.

"Because... the forest elves originally had a very friendly relationship with our Yaolan Kingdom. It is all because of the slave incident that the relationship between Huayu Forest and our country has deteriorated rapidly, so I want to use my ability to help them and improve the relationship with the Elf Kingdom. "The girl in blue said seriously.

Ayton glanced at Iluli, who had no objection.

"Okay, then let's go to the Thorn City to see who is capturing the elves and who is buying the elves." One more person is better than one less person, and the three of them are not familiar with the terrain of Yaolan Kingdom. Having the help of an adventurer will save you a lot of detours.

"Thank you. My name is Lan Keke, a fourth-level magician. I am determined to become the future number one magician in the Yaolan Kingdom. You can just call me Keke." The girl in blue took off the cloak and scarf on her head, revealing her long golden hair, and raised her head. Said with a small mouth.

She looked to be only sixteen years old, with a pair of lively blue eyes, delicate cherry lips, and beautiful eyebrows like a crescent moon. The most touching thing was the slight smile at the corner of her mouth, which warmed the heart and mind like incense and wind. .

Coupled with the bright blue mage robe, sapphire blue princess shoes, especially her snow-white neck, she exudes a noble and elegant hazy temperament in her beauty, making people feel like she is seeing the beauty who should be living in the royal family. A high and mighty princess. But there is no princess-like arrogance, but a calmness with a hint of confidence.

‘What a beautiful girl. ’ Ayton was amazed in his heart. Although her appearance is not as good as that of Ariel and Iluli, she is definitely one of a kind and will be the most beautiful girl in the world when she grows up. And the vague noble temperament in her body is something Ariel can't compare to.

"Hello, my name is Eluli." Seeing that someone was willing to help their elves, Eluli responded in a friendly manner.

"Hello, my name is Ayton, and this is my sister Ariel."

"hello"

"Just you? Are you the number one magician in the future?" Ariel glanced at Lan Keke suspiciously. Although the staff looked good, was it really the number one magician? It felt far worse than Lisa Tower. .

The corner of Lan Keke's mouth twitched. She had reached the fourth level of cultivation at such a young age. Everyone around her praised her for her excellent talent. Becoming a seventh-level great mage was not a problem at all. Now some people are actually questioning her, but good She didn't know how to refute because of her cultivation, so she could only secretly make up her mind to let her experience her powerful magic power in the next battle.

"Without further ado, let's set off now," Ayton said to smooth things over.

"Okay, target - Flower Language Forest. I haven't been to the Flower Language Forest for a long time. Now I want to take a closer look." Coco said excitedly. Her expression now didn't look like a noble princess at all, but like a little girl who was inexperienced in the world.

"Guests, are you leaving? Please settle the bill." When a waiter heard that the four of them were about to leave, he stepped forward and said politely.

"No need to look for it." Ayton took out a silver coin and handed it to him, but Coco stood there at a loss, her little face turned red.

"Dear Master, you already owe the shop two silver coins and three copper coins. Do you think it's time to..." The waiter looked at Coco tactfully.

Lan Keke looked at Ayton with a bitter face.

"Puch!" Ariel beside her couldn't help but laugh. This mage actually had no money and still wanted to eat the King's meal.

Ayton smiled slightly, took out enough money and handed it to the waiter. "I'll pay for her"

"Thank you, guest. Go slowly." The waiter exhaled with relief. If the respected mage didn't pay, he really couldn't do anything.

The four people left the hotel.

"As for...the money, I was in a hurry and forgot to bring it with me. I will return it to you later." Lan Keke said coyly

"Whatever you want, but now that we are partners, I will bear all the expenses along the way," Ayton said with a smile.

"Yes, thank you very much for your willingness to help us forest elves. I will repay you when we arrive at the Flower Forest," Iluli thanked.

Ariel curled her lips aside, expressing that she was not used to having more people around her, especially women.

"Thank you so much" Coco said happily. It can be said that she has been cheating on food and drink with her identity as a magician these past few days.

"But then again, how can you, a 'fourth-level' magician, have no money? The Forest of Despair is nearby. Even if you just hunt a monster, you can earn some money." Ayton saw Coco wearing a blue cloak again. , put on a scarf and asked doubtfully.

"Um...well...because I can't hunt monsters," Coco said with a slight blush. "Every time I was about to knock it down, but it ran away and I couldn't catch up."

"A fourth-level mage can't kill a monster." Ariel looked at her in surprise, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, and then looked at Iluli. "Could it be that you are also a life mage?"

"No, I'm a fourth-level water mage."

"Because... there are so many weeds in the Forest of Despair, it's eerie, and there are also a lot of poisonous insects and snakes... It's so scary."

"Ha, you, a fourth-level magician, are actually afraid of some bugs. This is the so-called fourth-level magician. It makes me laugh to death." Ariel couldn't help laughing. "Not even Iluli is afraid of these little animals."

‘Can I really treat this guy as a fourth-level mage? ’ Ayton still couldn’t help but think like this.

Even Iluli showed an awkward smile: "Sister Coco, could it be that you entered the Forest of Despair wearing this outfit?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?" Coco tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"There's nothing wrong with your clothes, but your shoes." Eluli looked at her feet, which were light blue princess shoes. These shoes were very inconvenient for walking in the complicated jungle. No wonder he couldn't catch up with the monster.

"Yeah, I wonder why I feel so tired when walking, I can't even catch up with the monsters," Coco suddenly realized.

Ayton held his forehead: "It just so happens that we are going to buy some equipment."

He and Ariel are still wearing the black cloth clothes they came out of the Wailing Cave, and Eluli is back in her original green dress. After running through the Forest of Despair, they both look a little worn out. After all, there are bushes along the way. There are so many bushes and thorns...

An hour later, the four of them came out of the clothing store together.

"Brother, you look much more handsome in this outfit than before." Ariel said excitedly. At this time, Ayton's short black shoulder-length hair was blowing in the wind, with a sharp look in his eyes, and he was wearing a loose dark suit. He wears adventurer clothes, short fingerless gloves, a short black cloak, and a long sword of the netherworld wrapped in black cloth on his back.

"Really, but my Ariel is the prettiest." Ayton touched Ariel's little head. I saw two bunches of black silk tied around her chest with a hair tie, and her chest-length hair like ink hanging behind her. The black leather jacket and shorts tightly outline the graceful curves of the body, black long leather shoes, long fingerless gloves on the hands, and a Netherworld dagger on the right side of the brown belt.

"Brother, is this okay?" Iluli said coyly behind her. She was wearing a green hair accessory, her emerald green waist-length hair neatly arranged on her head, a green adventurer's dress, and a green long cloak. The slender jade hands were wearing white gloves with green patterns, and the original black cloth shoes were replaced by snowflake long boots. The quiet and fresh temperament unique to the forest elves is immediately revealed.

"Green and white suit you best, Eluli," Ayton praised. The dark clothes Eluli wore before could not fully reveal the freshness of the forest elf.

"Really?" She noticed that the passers-by around her stopped to watch, as if they were shocked by her temperament, and Iluli couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Finally, Coco also jumped out excitedly. She was still wearing the beautiful blue magic robe, but her lower body was replaced by navy blue stockings and a pair of light blue leather shoes. The whole person is like a Smurf, dancing gracefully.

"Let's go." Coco put the hood on her head and looked at Ayton. She already knew that this group of people was headed by him.

"Well, but Coco, why are you still wearing a hood? Are you afraid that others will notice your beauty?" Ayton said half-jokingly.

"Ah, um...yes"

"Okay, wear it if you like it"

She was avoiding someone, Ayton thought in his mind, and the panic in Coco's eyes just now suddenly exposed her inner thoughts. But since she is willing to help them, it doesn't matter if Ayton helps her casually.

……

At the city gate, Ayton sat on the carriage and watched a large number of people crowded in front of a billboard, shouting something.

"Brother, what are those people doing?"

"Maybe something big happened recently." Ayton glanced at Coco and suddenly felt that this matter must be related to her.

"I'm going to ask what's going on."

"I'll go too." Ariel stood up and chased after him.

"Let's take a look too," Coco and Iluli looked at each other and said at the same time.

"This... okay" Ayton glanced at the crowded crowd, and he was unwilling to squeeze in with these three girls. Suddenly he saw an adventurer squeeze out of the crowd.

"Hey, brother, may I ask what is going on? It's so lively." Ayton stepped forward decisively and stopped him.

The young adventurer frowned and was about to refuse, but when he saw the three girls around Ayton and the shimmering silver coins in his hand, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Hey, there is a white-clothed bishop from the Holy See who came to our Black Rock City in person. , saying that traces of the dark elves have been discovered, and anyone who provides any information about the dark elves will receive generous rewards."

"Dark Elf?" Ayton and Ariel looked at each other.

"do you have anything else?"

"No, this is the only one. Well, can you form an adventure team together? We plan to explore the Forest of Despair. I heard there is some ancient battlefield."

"No, thank you for telling me." Ayton flicked the silver coin in his hand to him, turned around and took the three women into the carriage.

‘It’s actually about the dark elves, so let’s leave quickly.’ The carriage drove smoothly out of the city gate and gradually disappeared into the horizon.

At the notice office, a young mercenary with a broken arm looked at the bulletin board with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a while, he turned around and walked towards the Black Rock City Church branch...
