Xia Anran didn't believe the forest elf's words, he said softly, "You must have been so terrified by the abuse that you couldn't resist."
"It doesn't matter. After you are rescued, you can go to my manor to have a good rest. There, you will not be tortured like this again!"
Ye Sen frowned and remained silent. He knew about this organization called the Salvation Society, but...
Xia Anran said to Su Yunqing again, "Since you are so stubborn and want to keep these slaves, how about we take a step back and see what they mean?"
Su Yunqing said with some amusement, "This is my cargo, why should I listen to their opinions? If I could listen, they would have asked to open the cage as early as halfway, and begged to be free."
Xia Anran looked slightly cold, "That was the situation before and now, don't you still understand, I'm not giving you advice, I'm just letting you know."
Immediately, he looked directly at those cages, and said slowly, "Beautiful and wise elves, are you willing to leave this cruel caravan with me?"
Inside the cage, an elf was touched by Xia Anran's words, and could not help but risk being whipped by the caravan, and asked loudly, "Can you really give us back our freedom?"
Xia Anran looked at the elves in the cage, frowned, and smiled very friendlyly, "Of course, I will not treat you as slaves, and you will not be controlled by others, handcuffed by chains like this , Treating it as a commodity to buy and sell is the act of villains.”
Qingshu was more cautious. He grabbed the excited young elves and said in a low voice, "Just now you said that you want to send us back to the manor. What do you mean?"
The old servant named Mo Andi coughed and said, "That is the manor under the young master's name, which belongs to private territory. Only in that place can you recuperate without worrying about your injuries and live a carefree life. "
Bai Si said without changing her expression, "But we want to go back to our hometown, not to your manor..."
Mo Andi frowned, and said, "It is necessary to recuperate, otherwise, you may be captured by other slave hunting teams on the way, so isn't our rescue in vain?"
"What's more, although the young master can keep the price to a minimum, it's still paid for. Except for the ten gold coins, which are equivalent to nothing, the rest has to deal with various nobles, clear multiple checkpoints, and ensure your safe evacuation... …It all requires a lot of human and financial investment.”
"According to the rumors, the elves are a race with good moral character. They should know the kindness of a drop of water, and it is right to repay it with a spring."
Qingshu was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "We will be very grateful to those who rescued us, but you must go to the manor... It means that we still have no freedom, how can we guarantee that it is not a land of slaves? .”
Su Yunqing was listening on the sidelines, but he never thought that the elf's head would be so vivid.
He always thought that when he heard that someone was going to offer help, these big fools would offer their sincerity.
Thinking of this, Su Yunqing couldn't help raising his eyes, and looked at the forest elf who offered to help just now.
Coincidentally, the other party was also looking at him.
Seeing the human being secretly looking at him, Ye Mori thought he was a little curious about Qingshu's doubts, and couldn't help but said, "I've heard about the deeds of the Slave Salvation Society, but the elves rescued by them have never returned Those who live here, although they have not become playthings in the hands of the nobles, can never be found again."
Su Yunqing didn't pay much attention to these gossips. After all, there were so many slave gangs, who would have thought that he would be targeted by such a gang.
He said, "That manor should be near Orvieto, otherwise their transportation fee would be too expensive and not worth it."
As for what's in the manor, I don't know.
Over there, Xia Anran said with a friendly smile, "As an adopted son of a nobleman, I don't have that kind of class concept. I have many friends all over the world. No matter which race I am, I have goodwill."
"I hope everyone can work together to create a beautiful homeland together, and that manor is my first step towards the unity and mutual assistance of all races."
Bai Si grasped the point of the nobleman's words, and he asked with some vigilance, "You keep mentioning the manor, what are you bringing us there for, just resting and healing, can you leave when you're done?"
Xia Anran shook her head, and said, "If the rescued person recovers from his injuries and leaves, then who else will support this great cause?"
"In the manor, you can see many former partners, living together harmoniously and happily, working during the day and studying at night. Every house and every fruit tree in the manor is built and maintained by everyone. "
"Only by the continuous development and growth of the Slave Salvation Society can we save more slaves. Aren't you willing to sacrifice your insignificant ability for this?"
The old servant Mo Andi nodded and echoed, "If everyone is selfish and doesn't care about other things, I don't think there is a need for the Slave Society to exist. It costs money to buy you. Do something to repay it!"
After Qingshu figured out the intentions of these people, he whispered with other companions for a while, and finally, he said, "We won't go with you."
Xia Anran frowned slightly, he never thought that the elves would reject him.
This is impossible, how can there be slaves who do not want to be free?
"Even if you need to work in the manor to pay off your debts, you are free. I will not give you any restraints. As long as you are willing to work, you will have food." Xia Anran patiently explained, neither arrogant nor impetuous, without showing any signs The airs of any aristocrat.
Qingshu asked calmly, "I'm sorry, forced to be a slave, whether it's a nobleman's plaything or your labor force, it's the same for us."
What's more, the noble young master in front of him just said a few words, and no one can guarantee that his words are not mixed with any falsehood.
Although the elves always think from the side of kindness, but after being arrested and sold for so long, no matter how pure their hearts are, they will become vigilant.
Xia Anran stomped her feet angrily, with a puffy face, a little cute, he said, "Why can't you make any sense, why don't you go to the manor, it's my private domain, I won't let you be bullied, these are hateful The abductors, but want to take you to hell!"
The traffickers who were criticized by name no longer remained silent.
Su Yunqing took out his magic wand, waved it lightly in the air, a strong wind swept over, and directly sent these people from the Salvation Society out of the gate.
"Since I have accepted the compensation, today's business will come to an end." He said lightly, "It's getting late, please go back."
It's useless to say more, anyway, the caravan will leave Shuiyun Town tomorrow, and these people can go wherever they like.
If he is still obsessed, Su Yunqing doesn't mind teaching him how to use magic to attack.
Xia Anran crossed her waist and said, "Don't think that you are a magician, I'm afraid of you, I didn't prepare well today, we also have magicians in the Slave Salvation Society!"
Su Yunqing didn't know why, this noble young master always couldn't grasp the important point.
Is it a question of whether there are magicians?
Seeing that these people were still reluctant, Fred looked at Mr. Su fiercely, and immediately said, "Those elves have rejected you, why are you still thinking about snatching it? You are the ones who are ignoring it."
Xia Anran sneered, "Heaven has a way but you don't choose it, it's because someone obstructed it, and I don't know what thoughts you have instilled in these slaves, and you will regard the Salvation Society as an enemy."
Su Yunqing didn't bother to talk to this person, but if he didn't make it clear, it wouldn't be good if people in the caravan fluctuated in the future.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "You said that you work during the day and attend classes at night. Can you tell me the specifics?"
Xia Anran squinted at him and said, "Don't you understand what I said? Your language level is too low. It's better to go back and learn it."
Su Yunqing was not angry either, he asked carefully, "There are many kinds of labor, like building a house and farming as you said, who will live in it after it is done?"
Xia Anran said inexplicably, "Of course it's for the elves to live in. You can't let them suffer without gaining benefits. Why are you so bad, you always think of others from the bad side."
Su Yunqing said unhurriedly, "But after the construction is completed, the elves can return to their homeland and will not live in it."
Xia Anran raised her hand, rubbed her forehead, and said helplessly, "Building a house is only the first step, and there will be road construction, farming, mining and many other developments in the future."
"It may not be so simple to build the manor into a beautiful world where multiple races coexist peacefully."
Su Yunqing still asked, "If what you said is all realized, the elves can return to their homes?"
"So the mage always likes to ask nonsense..." The old servant Mo Andi beside Xia Anran said righteously, "Whether the manor can be built or not, the young master can't directly make a conclusion, the customer must be satisfied. "
"If the customer is satisfied, the elves can go back. If the customer is not satisfied, of course they must continue."
The elves who had been secretly eavesdropping suddenly pricked up their ears, customer?
Xia Anran nodded, and kindly explained to this stupid magician, "Didn't I say before that the races are united, so the manor is used to serve the nobles."
"When the nobles agree with the fruits of the elves' labor, they will naturally be able to shake hands and make peace and eliminate disputes."
Ye Sen couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said in a cold voice, "Serving the nobles? What kind of service do you want us to provide?"
Xia Anran tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, "During the day, do the basic construction, use the unique methods of the elves to build a beautiful and unique manor, and learn how to get along with the nobles at night, and please them, that's all. , very simple."
He was afraid that these elves would find it difficult and unwilling to go to the manor, so he quickly added, "You don't have to worry about not being able to keep up with the progress. We will hire a special trainer to come over in the evening and give you good guidance."
"If there are punitive measures, please forgive me. After all, there is no rule without rules, and this is for your own good."
Mo Andi said sincerely, "The sooner the nobles are satisfied, the sooner you can return to your homeland. Of course, before that, you are also free, but you have to work for the manor."
Ye Sen pursed his lips and said, "What is the difference between forced part-time work and slavery?"
There is also the so-called "study" at night, which is a real hell!
Qing Shu and the other elves understood the hidden meaning of these people when they heard it. All of a sudden, the faces of the elves became uneasy.
Want to take them away, go to a hidden manor, and enjoy them as private slaves. This is the so-called freedom?
What kind of freedom is it, the freedom to choose how to please the nobles!
Seeing that the matter was clarified, Su Yunqing raised his staff and sent Xia Anran and others out of the town directly.
So much so that after a long time, the residents of Shuiyun Town all remembered that the wind was so strong that night that it was strong enough to overturn people.
Seeing that the crisis was over, Fred lamented Mr. Su's strength and was worried about the counterattack of those nobles. He said tremblingly, "Mr. Su, should we rush all night, in case that Young Master Xia and Olvetto ask for help, find someone If you come to help, it will be troublesome."
Su Yunqing smiled reassuringly, "It's okay, just get a good night's sleep, we'll leave tomorrow morning, even if he calls for reinforcements now, we won't be able to catch up, maybe we can meet on the road."
Fred was still a little uneasy, and was later taken to rest by Kajel.
Facing a battle for the first time, the rookie will indeed be frightened, not to mention the adopted son of a great nobleman, he must be very worried about the safety of the caravan.
But Kajel and other experienced old attendants have no fear at all.
What about the big nobles, they are following Mr. Su, who has been in business for many years, and has never seen anyone suffer a big loss.
Before going to sleep, Su Yunqing checked the goods again to confirm the quantity and damage rate.
After making sure that all the elves were there, that they hadn't been snatched away, or were not injured, the cage was taken care of, and he returned to the room with the forest elf.
Because he used magic when he went out just now, Su Yunqing didn't want to spend time taking a bath, so he cast a cleansing technique to clean up the dust on the elf's body.
Ye Sen had no choice but to be called to bed again.
Looking at the young man in front of him, he always felt that the other party looked at him quietly, a little uneasy and kind.
Sure enough, in the next second, Ye Sen heard the human being say, "Thank you for your help today, but fortunately, we acted in time, otherwise it would take some effort to deal with that assassin."
Ye Sen didn't take credit for it, and said frankly, "Even if I don't do anything, you can still handle it."
Su Yunqing asked with great interest, "Then why do you still want to come here, watching the play on the sidelines and watching us both lose, wouldn't it be better?"
Ye Sen said calmly, "But in that case, you will inevitably be injured. If you really can't protect the goods, wouldn't we fall into the hands of the Salvation Society?"
Su Yunqing nodded slightly, as if accepting the explanation.
He slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "Even so, I should reward the meritorious officials well."
"It doesn't have to be..."
Just as Ye Sen was about to refuse, he heard the young man continue to say, "I have already thought about the reward. Didn't you say that you want to choose your own songs and dances? I just want to see the singing and dancing of elves. You should do it earlier." Get ready."
Ye Sen: "..."
"Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you." Su Yunqing got into the bed, covered the quilt, and said, "Lie down first, and stick out your ears."
He likes to rub and sleep.
Ye Sen: "..."
At that time, he said casually that he didn't really want to perform singing and dancing!
In the early morning of the next day, the caravan went back on the road after a little tidying up.
After leaving Shuiyun Town, walk east for one day and you will arrive at the Misty Forest. After walking through the forest for another two days, you will see the city wall of Orvieto.
It was the first time for Fred to enter the foggy forest, and he was very curious about the thin mist between the trees and the flowers and fruits on both sides of the road covered with hoarfrost.
As he walked and watched, he didn't realize that the expressions of the elves in the cages beside him gradually became serious.
"Further ahead, you will be in the middle of the foggy forest. There is a lake there, where you can take a rest." Kajel said to Fred, who was looking left and right, with the epee on his back.
"The lake, are there any fish in it?" Fred's eyes lit up. He has always liked water. If he didn't follow the caravan, he would be able to swim a lap or two in the lake.
Kajieer patted the young man's head and said, "What are you thinking? Even if there are fish, you can't go down to catch them. The lake will attract many animals, so it's not safe around here."
Fred nodded half-understood, and asked suspiciously, "Then why do we go there to rest, wouldn't it be better to find a safer place?"
There is no shortage of water in the caravan, so there is no need to risk replenishing it.
Kajel looked at him with a half-smile, and listened to his ear, "As far as I know, there may be elves around the lake."
Fred's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "It's just in the foggy forest. It's so close to the city of Orvieto. Aren't they afraid of being caught?"
Kajel shrugged and educated the newcomers, "Haven't you heard a saying, the most dangerous place is the safest place."
Fred finally digested the news. He thought to himself, no wonder Mr. Su is going to stop by the lake for a short time. If he is lucky and meets some elves who come to drink water, he can catch a few more and increase the quantity of goods.
Except for the labor costs, this is still a no-cost transaction, and there is no need to pay the principal.
The elves in the cage seemed to have noticed that there was a similar aura around here.
"Qingshu, this..." Baisi whispered.
"That's right, they are of the same kind." Qing Shu nodded slightly.
They didn't care about offending the guards of the caravan, but took the initiative to loudly warn and warn of the danger here, so as to prevent any companions from taking the risk to come to the rescue.
A well-equipped and prepared slave caravan is not something to mess with.
What's more, there is an outstanding magician sitting here!
Even if this Mr. Su didn't criticize them harshly and generously used magic to escort them along the way, no matter how good the treatment was, it could not be worth the road to enslavement.
Whenever there is a choice, the elves would rather repay their favor in other ways than become a sold item.
Seeing these elves screaming desperately, Fred felt a little flustered in his heart.
His rationality was telling himself that they had to shut their mouths and not startle them.
He was hesitating emotionally, whether he really wanted to do this...
Before Fred could figure out why, Su Yunqing ordered, "Don't worry about them, this kind of warning sound is no different from a cry for help, it can attract wild elves."
Ye Sen looked at the indifferent human being, wondering if the other party had some strange ideas.
He also sensed the same kind hidden in the misty forest, but more keenly than Qingshu and Yueying, Ye Sen noticed that these kind were not weak.
The more powerful the elves, the stronger the mutual induction.
Hidden here... or ambushed, are definitely some outstanding warriors among the elves.
Ye Sen's eyes seemed to glance across the back of the young man carelessly, he thought, the strength of this magician should not be underestimated.
If a conflict really breaks out, it's really hard to say who will win the battle.
If it fails, everyone will have to huddle in the cage, waiting to be sold.
After a while, the caravan arrived at the lakeside.
This lake is indeed beautiful. Looking around, the blue waves are rippling, and looking down, it is crystal clear.
At this time, Fred didn't care about admiring the beautiful scenery, but became extremely vigilant.
At this moment, what he hoped was that no elves would come over.
Unfortunately, this hope was quickly dashed.
With the sound of the wooden whistle, a group of elves rushed out from the woods, holding bows and arrows, with a cold expression on their handsome faces and pointed ears proclaiming their identities.
"It's a team of forest elves, and they still look like warriors." Kajel roared loudly.
The elves in the cage couldn't help but stood up with nervous expressions, while Ye Sen was quietly looking for an opportunity to see if he could break the cage and get out.
The followers in the caravan gathered together, and Fred also hastily pulled out the dagger from his waist, ready to fight.
No matter what, he wants to protect the safety of Mr. Su!
"Quickly, remove the cage." Su Yunqing ordered without hesitation.
"Yes!" Kajel swiftly released the cage, leaving only the other carriages and horses.
Fred didn't know why, but just as he was about to speak, he heard Mr. Su say, "Everyone, cheer up, it's time to do something."
Fred nodded immediately when he heard this, and clenched the short sword in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the companion next to him start yelling.
"Help, it's a robbery!"
"It's an elf robber, run!"
"Can't beat, can't beat..."
"If you keep the green hills, don't worry about running out of firewood, I will come back in the future!"
"..."
Fred was dumbfounded, and swallowed back the "Come on" that he was going to say.
The elves imprisoned in the cage also looked at the traffickers in surprise.
Ye Sen was also a little puzzled.
Isn't it still playing?
Could it be possible to shock the opponent in terms of momentum?
What a joke, if it was that simple, they would be caught so much!
Amidst the yells of the followers, Su Yunqing slowly made a concluding sentence, "Pay attention to safety, retreat quickly!"
"Yes!" Kajel waved his hand, and the entourage surrounded Mr. Su, and started running forward with the remaining supplies.
Not long after, the caravan disappeared by the lake.
The elves in the cage who were left behind: "..."
With their outstanding hearing ability, they can still hear those human conversations from afar.
Fred panted while running, "Aren't we going to resist, aren't we going to arrest all the wild elves?"
Kagel replied bitterly, "Those elves and bandits are too powerful, it's not worthwhile to fight to the death, and we can't keep bothering Mr. Su to do it. It's a shameful act to waste magic power."
...Is it a luxury for a magician to use magic?
Fred's mind was in a mess, and he said, "Then we traveled all the way here, and all the goods we transported were lost like this."
Will Mr. Su die at a loss? !
Su Yunqing was sitting on the carriage, poked his head out at this time, and said to the young attendant, "It's okay, didn't we transport other supplies, just sell those, it's okay to lose the worthless ones."
The worthless elves: "..."
"It doesn't matter. After you are rescued, you can go to my manor to have a good rest. There, you will not be tortured like this again!"
Ye Sen frowned and remained silent. He knew about this organization called the Salvation Society, but...
Xia Anran said to Su Yunqing again, "Since you are so stubborn and want to keep these slaves, how about we take a step back and see what they mean?"
Su Yunqing said with some amusement, "This is my cargo, why should I listen to their opinions? If I could listen, they would have asked to open the cage as early as halfway, and begged to be free."

Seeing that the matter was clarified, Su Yunqing raised his staff and sent Xia Anran and others out of the town directly.
So much so that after a long time, the residents of Shuiyun Town all remembered that the wind was so strong that night that it was strong enough to overturn people.
Seeing that the crisis was over, Fred lamented Mr. Su's strength and was worried about the counterattack of those nobles. He said tremblingly, "Mr. Su, should we rush all night, in case that Young Master Xia and Olvetto ask for help, find someone If you come to help, it will be troublesome."
Su Yunqing smiled reassuringly, "It's okay, just get a good night's sleep, we'll leave tomorrow morning, even if he calls for reinforcements now, we won't be able to catch up, maybe we can meet on the road."
Fred was still a little uneasy, and was later taken to rest by Kajel.
Facing a battle for the first time, the rookie will indeed be frightened, not to mention the adopted son of a great nobleman, he must be very worried about the safety of the caravan.
But Kajel and other experienced old attendants have no fear at all.
What about the big nobles, they are following Mr. Su, who has been in business for many years, and has never seen anyone suffer a big loss.
Before going to sleep, Su Yunqing checked the goods again to confirm the quantity and damage rate.
After making sure that all the elves were there, that they hadn't been snatched away, or were not injured, the cage was taken care of, and he returned to the room with the forest elf.
Because he used magic when he went out just now, Su Yunqing didn't want to spend time taking a bath, so he cast a cleansing technique to clean up the dust on the elf's body.
Ye Sen had no choice but to be called to bed again.
Looking at the young man in front of him, he always felt that the other party looked at him quietly, a little uneasy and kind.
Sure enough, in the next second, Ye Sen heard the human being say, "Thank you for your help today, but fortunately, we acted in time, otherwise it would take some effort to deal with that assassin."
Ye Sen didn't take credit for it, and said frankly, "Even if I don't do anything, you can still handle it."
Su Yunqing asked with great interest, "Then why do you still want to come here, watching the play on the sidelines and watching us both lose, wouldn't it be better?"
Ye Sen said calmly, "But in that case, you will inevitably be injured. If you really can't protect the goods, wouldn't we fall into the hands of the Salvation Society?"
Su Yunqing nodded slightly, as if accepting the explanation.
He slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "Even so, I should reward the meritorious officials well."
"It doesn't have to be..."
Just as Ye Sen was about to refuse, he heard the young man continue to say, "I have already thought about the reward. Didn't you say that you want to choose your own songs and dances? I just want to see the singing and dancing of elves. You should do it earlier." Get ready."
Ye Sen: "..."
"Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you." Su Yunqing got into the bed, covered the quilt, and said, "Lie down first, and stick out your ears."
He likes to rub and sleep.
Ye Sen: "..."
At that time, he said casually that he didn't really want to perform singing and dancing!
In the early morning of the next day, the caravan went back on the road after a little tidying up.
After leaving Shuiyun Town, walk east for one day and you will arrive at the Misty Forest. After walking through the forest for another two days, you will see the city wall of Orvieto.
It was the first time for Fred to enter the foggy forest, and he was very curious about the thin mist between the trees and the flowers and fruits on both sides of the road covered with hoarfrost.
As he walked and watched, he didn't realize that the expressions of the elves in the cages beside him gradually became serious.
"Further ahead, you will be in the middle of the foggy forest. There is a lake there, where you can take a rest." Kajel said to Fred, who was looking left and right, with the epee on his back.
"The lake, are there any fish in it?" Fred's eyes lit up. He has always liked water. If he didn't follow the caravan, he would be able to swim a lap or two in the lake.
Kajieer patted the young man's head and said, "What are you thinking? Even if there are fish, you can't go down to catch them. The lake will attract many animals, so it's not safe around here."
Fred nodded half-understood, and asked suspiciously, "Then why do we go there to rest, wouldn't it be better to find a safer place?"
There is no shortage of water in the caravan, so there is no need to risk replenishing it.
Kajel looked at him with a half-smile, and listened to his ear, "As far as I know, there may be elves around the lake."
Fred's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "It's just in the foggy forest. It's so close to the city of Orvieto. Aren't they afraid of being caught?"
Kajel shrugged and educated the newcomers, "Haven't you heard a saying, the most dangerous place is the safest place."
Fred finally digested the news. He thought to himself, no wonder Mr. Su is going to stop by the lake for a short time. If he is lucky and meets some elves who come to drink water, he can catch a few more and increase the quantity of goods.
Except for the labor costs, this is still a no-cost transaction, and there is no need to pay the principal.
The elves in the cage seemed to have noticed that there was a similar aura around here.
"Qingshu, this..." Baisi whispered.
"That's right, they are of the same kind." Qing Shu nodded slightly.
They didn't care about offending the guards of the caravan, but took the initiative to loudly warn and warn of the danger here, so as to prevent any companions from taking the risk to come to the rescue.
A well-equipped and prepared slave caravan is not something to mess with.
What's more, there is an outstanding magician sitting here!
Even if this Mr. Su didn't criticize them harshly and generously used magic to escort them along the way, no matter how good the treatment was, it could not be worth the road to enslavement.
Whenever there is a choice, the elves would rather repay their favor in other ways than become a sold item.
Seeing these elves screaming desperately, Fred felt a little flustered in his heart.
His rationality was telling himself that they had to shut their mouths and not startle them.
He was hesitating emotionally, whether he really wanted to do this...
Before Fred could figure out why, Su Yunqing ordered, "Don't worry about them, this kind of warning sound is no different from a cry for help, it can attract wild elves."
Ye Sen looked at the indifferent human being, wondering if the other party had some strange ideas.
He also sensed the same kind hidden in the misty forest, but more keenly than Qingshu and Yueying, Ye Sen noticed that these kind were not weak.
The more powerful the elves, the stronger the mutual induction.
Hidden here... or ambushed, are definitely some outstanding warriors among the elves.
Ye Sen's eyes seemed to glance across the back of the young man carelessly, he thought, the strength of this magician should not be underestimated.
If a conflict really breaks out, it's really hard to say who will win the battle.
If it fails, everyone will have to huddle in the cage, waiting to be sold.
After a while, the caravan arrived at the lakeside.
This lake is indeed beautiful. Looking around, the blue waves are rippling, and looking down, it is crystal clear.
At this time, Fred didn't care about admiring the beautiful scenery, but became extremely vigilant.
At this moment, what he hoped was that no elves would come over.
Unfortunately, this hope was quickly dashed.
With the sound of the wooden whistle, a group of elves rushed out from the woods, holding bows and arrows, with a cold expression on their handsome faces and pointed ears proclaiming their identities.
"It's a team of forest elves, and they still look like warriors." Kajel roared loudly.
The elves in the cage couldn't help but stood up with nervous expressions, while Ye Sen was quietly looking for an opportunity to see if he could break the cage and get out.
The followers in the caravan gathered together, and Fred also hastily pulled out the dagger from his waist, ready to fight.
No matter what, he wants to protect the safety of Mr. Su!
"Quickly, remove the cage." Su Yunqing ordered without hesitation.
"Yes!" Kajel swiftly released the cage, leaving only the other carriages and horses.
Fred didn't know why, but just as he was about to speak, he heard Mr. Su say, "Everyone, cheer up, it's time to do something."
Fred nodded immediately when he heard this, and clenched the short sword in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the companion next to him start yelling.
"Help, it's a robbery!"
"It's an elf robber, run!"
"Can't beat, can't beat..."
"If you keep the green hills, don't worry about running out of firewood, I will come back in the future!"
"..."
Fred was dumbfounded, and swallowed back the "Come on" that he was going to say.
The elves imprisoned in the cage also looked at the traffickers in surprise.
Ye Sen was also a little puzzled.
Isn't it still playing?
Could it be possible to shock the opponent in terms of momentum?
What a joke, if it was that simple, they would be caught so much!
Amidst the yells of the followers, Su Yunqing slowly made a concluding sentence, "Pay attention to safety, retreat quickly!"
"Yes!" Kajel waved his hand, and the entourage surrounded Mr. Su, and started running forward with the remaining supplies.
Not long after, the caravan disappeared by the lake.
The elves in the cage who were left behind: "..."
With their outstanding hearing ability, they can still hear those human conversations from afar.
Fred panted while running, "Aren't we going to resist, aren't we going to arrest all the wild elves?"
Kagel replied bitterly, "Those elves and bandits are too powerful, it's not worthwhile to fight to the death, and we can't keep bothering Mr. Su to do it. It's a shameful act to waste magic power."
...Is it a luxury for a magician to use magic?
Fred's mind was in a mess, and he said, "Then we traveled all the way here, and all the goods we transported were lost like this."
Will Mr. Su die at a loss? !
Su Yunqing was sitting on the carriage, poked his head out at this time, and said to the young attendant, "It's okay, didn't we transport other supplies, just sell those, it's okay to lose the worthless ones."
The worthless elves: "..."
