Chapter 167 About Elf Race

“They said they were coming up to check the cabin?”

asked Hobbes frowned.

“Yes, they say these are extraordinary times and all ships from the Empire are subject to strict inspections…including merchant ships like ours.”

Disembarking from the barge After that, the first mate, who was previously sent to communicate with the other Chief-In-Charge, answered nodded.

Hobbes heard this looked towards the few elf longships not far away with graceful curves like a crescent moon. At this moment, the distance between them and the Whalebone was about five About a hundred yards.

A distance of five hundred yards, which is a safe distance that needs to be actively maintained in order to prevent the gun from misfiring when encountering unfamiliar ships at sea and it is impossible to tell whether the other party is malicious – for the magic below the Divine Domain For the chanter, this casting distance is as unattainable as a ravine.

The few elven longships flying the flag of the Blood Blade family strictly abide by this unwritten rule at sea and keep their own safe distance. But at the same time, they also blocked the way to the misty port, and blocked the whalebone outside the dock, in an imposing manner that they would not be allowed to pass without inspection.

“What did they say to check? I’ve been doing business here for several decades, and this is the first time I’ve heard of such a request. Also, there’s a blood blade hanging on the dock. Have you asked the reason for the family flag?”

Hobbs continued to ask, pointing to the flag hanging on the pier.

“I asked, and the other party only told me to stay out of my own business… As for why they had to go on board for inspection, they said it was a routine matter. After all, this is the current situation. The spy of the imperial army…”

“Who is the spy of the empire can’t be written on his face, this reason is too far-fetched.”

A low voice The male voice interrupted the first mate’s words, and everyone turned their heads, just to see William and Diana, who seemed to be a little seasick, come to the deck.

“So, is the other party not letting us dock now?”

Avoiding the boring greeting, William asked directly.

“It has to be inspected before it is allowed to dock, and now the entire pier is under martial law… It has never happened before.”

Hobbs was a little worried. ‘s answer.

Then he continued:

“And the martial law place is not the local garrison family in Yisu City, but the Blood Blade family in Fenghuo City. The garrison between the seven city-states The power should be completely independent, and it is impossible to have such a situation in normal times.”

It is difficult to say whether this is an adjustment made in response to the military threat of the Empire, or Awazhou What political turmoil is going on inside.

Or both.

“What should I do? Mr. Ishma.”

Seeing William fell into silence and did not speak, Hobbes asked tentatively.

“Then just follow their rules, there is no need to conflict with them on the other side’s territory.”

hearing this, William came back to his senses replied.

Then he added:

“You should pay attention to the three sailors in the storage room. When their men are on the ship to check, remember to contact them first. They made it clear, don’t cause any misunderstanding.”

Hobbes heard this immediately nodded, and then immediately greeted the people around to act quickly, as if for fear that William would go back on it.

In fact, Hobbes was really afraid that the other party would go back on it.

Magic casters, especially powerful magic casters like their counterparts, are generally extremely proud and sensitive in character. Therefore, after learning that the other party asked to board the ship for inspection, Hobbes was most worried about nothing but whether his employer would have unnecessary trouble with the other party because he felt that this was a provocation for him. conflict.

Now with his words, Hobbes felt much more at ease.

After the simple preparations were arranged, the “Thunder Fire” released a [lightning technique] into the sky, which was a signal to agree to the inspection earlier. After a few seconds, one of the elf long ships came over, and the wooden oars on both sides of the slender hull rowed uniformly. Right.

When the sailors on the Whalebone saw this, they were just about to throw down the ladder and let the other party climb up. The five high elves on the elf ship were wearing dark silver scale armor and scarlet daggers. He jumped up directly, jumping up to a height of four or five meters like a bird that had just fluttered its wings, crossed the guardrail of the side chord, and landed lightly on the deck, causing the sailors on board to exclaim.

The four high elves protected each other almost instinctively after they landed. They looked around, and after confirming that there was no threat around, the hand holding the hilt of the sword slowly slowed down. lay down.

After landing, the remaining high elf dressed as an officer walked straight to the direction of William and Hobbs’ entire group at the bow.

He wears a dark golden helmet engraved with Phoenix, and a pair of pointed ears sticking out of the helmet. Several golden fringes were blown behind the helmet by the sea breeze. That is both a symbol of Phoenix’s tail and his status as a commander.

The taller Elf Race’s body is taller and slender than humans, and even with their faces a little sharper, coupled with the delicate facial features, the other party looks Showing a hint of feminine beauty.

Because of the image of the high elves, people often think that the high elves are a bunch of scumbags who can’t lift swords, not as wild as their distant relatives in the Emerald Province, the forest elves. Not like the ice elves in Stone Cold Province, they are all muscled and knotted, and they can go out hunting in World of Ice and Snow with a half-covered animal skin, which is a kind of rough beauty.

But in fact, under their seemingly fragile and slender appearance, there is a power far beyond the imagination of the ordinary person.

Specifically, if the game chooses a higher Elf Race as the start, the player’s initial value panel is much higher than other races.

After all, it is hard to say that it is a mortal race after the Phoenix flame blesses the high Elf Race – for example, these people jumped on the spot and boarded the ship at a height of four or five meters, naturally they did not rely on muscles to provide The explosive force did it, and William didn’t feel the breath of magic at all. This is some kind of innate talent spell, just like Demones can use her scale powder to hypnotize, create dreams, and blur distance, it’s all a “phenomenon”, not a spell.

But on the other hand, compared to the real superhuman races such as Demonness, which were born on the basis of a certain concept, the high elves can only be said to be half superhuman races – after all, they still need to rely on To reproduce this behavior, in order to maintain the existence of their own race.

And as the Phoenix torch that holds this together, its bounty is both a blessing and a prison.

The Blessing of the Holy Fire will only continue to take effect in Ava, and in the area covered by the fog. Once they leave this range, the blessings received by the high elves will inevitably fade away with the ebbing of time. Players who choose to start with high elves will enter a period in the middle stage of the game. The level is clearly improving. However, the attributes of the characters have always remained the same, and sometimes even regressed.

And the locality of Phoenix’s holy fire blessing is an important reason why the high Elf Race has always been conservative before the rise of mankind, and has never launched expansion to the Vic continent or other places.

And in the later Bronze Age, after the rise of mankind as the ruler of the Vic continent, there was a crisis of belief in Ava.

At that time, the elves on Ava Island still called themselves “Elf Race”, and their race name did not have the prefix “Higher” before. At that time, many Elf Races, who had been tortured by long and stagnant lives and nearly collapsed, had always been eager for change, and saw the passion of life and the potential to change the status quo from the human race.

They believed that it was the false immortality brought by the blessing of the Holy Fire that poisoned the entire race, so they decided to resist the imprisonment brought by the fire and the fog, and follow the example of mankind into a new era.

At first, they planned to directly extinguish the Phoenix flame and cut off the inheritance of the Mist King, so that the entire Elf Race completely lost its blessing and became a “Life” after “Life”. A true mortal race of old, sick, and dead”.

For this reason, they launched a rebellion in the name of freedom, and the result of the rebellion was a failure without accident under the pressure of the fog king Weili.

But the former mist king was a wise and wise king, and he saw that this trend of thought had shaken the foundation of the entire Awazhou Sacred Fire Blessing System. Therefore, he did not choose to execute the rebels, to destroy their bodies and build an immortal monument for their spirits. He chose to eventually banish those people and allow all who agreed with their ideals to follow them away.

Thus, the first and only large-scale race migration in Elf Race history began. This migration lasted for more than fifty years, and it was divided into six batches and left in turn.

The first fleet crossed the Broken Sea and came to Ravenwood through Fairy Bay, where it made a contract with the Holy Tree and became the later Forest Elf. The second fleet crossed the White Sea, crossed the Thousand Snake Islands, landed near a volcanic crater in the Longji mountain range north of the Boiling Plain, and suddenly disappeared a hundred years later, leaving only the The Fortress City, the Legendary Fortress City.

The third and fourth fleets went to the continent of Ossis, and it is said that they established a prosperous country there. But hundreds of years later, the Osis continent encountered the Moon Realm crisis, and eventually the entire continent was sunk into the sea by the Void Kings, and the descendants of the two fleets were all destroyed. The fifth and sixth fleets all headed north. One of them landed in Lengyuan and made a covenant with the local ice giants and became the ice elves of later generations; What is going on in the north, and after passing through the Keel Islands and continuing to the north, the sound is completely lost in the end.

And after that, there has never been a large-scale race migration in the entire history of Elf Race. However, Avazhou still retains the corresponding system. Whether it is in the era of the King of the Mist, or in the era of the seven free city-states later, as long as people have doubts about the Phoenix torch blessing system, they can choose to give up their own. Blessed with the surname, left Ava under the name of Knight-errant.

Although the advanced Elf Race who gave up the blessing will still be much stronger than the ordinary person in agility and perception, it is not as good as the ordinary human in attributes such as strength and endurance. Combined with the emptiness of the soul due to the loss of the blessing, many elf knight-errants suffer from a condition called “elemental mutation”. Therefore, the stereotype of the high Elf Race on the Vic continent is always a sickly and weak look.

But in fact the real high elves are definitely not like this.

William thought as he watched the officer walking towards them.

This seems to be the first time William has seen a high elves that have been blessed with complete blessings. As a magic caster, it is difficult for him to judge the opponent’s battle strength from the perspective of non-spell battles. But judging from the vigilant posture of the opponent at all times, the fighting posture when walking, and the imposing manner surrounding him—the five people who boarded the ship, or a tactical team without the support of a magic caster, Like cutting butter, they can bring everyone on the ship down in five minutes except themselves.

Including the three magic casters already on board.

In Ava, every elves with warrior-related surnames are absolute warriors. They have been given their surnames and embarked on their own “roads”, and they have spent their entire lives. All goals are to hone your warrior path.

Innate talent from ancestor inheritance, coupled with long years of tempering, although the number of warriors in Avazhou is rare, each of them is an absolute elite who is a ten or even a hundred. .

I must have this army…

Looking at these warriors who are much stronger than the thorn black guards in Thorn City, William thought to himself. .

Although you will gradually lose the blessing if you leave the area of Ava, but from Remedios’ example, as long as you return to Ava, the blessing can still be replenished.

Or maybe he can crack the principle of the Holy Fire Blessing and use it as another hole card against Moon Realm.

While William was thinking about whether or not there was something, the elf officer had walked up to Hobbes. Hobbsdui extended his hand to him with a smile, but the other party just glanced at it and did not hold it.

“Hobbs Black Whale, captain of the Whalebone. I heard that you have been in business with the Windsong family for the past twenty-seven years?”

The other party asked straight to the point, and the tone was as if the interrogator was interrogating the prisoner hanging on the torture device.

Hobbs withdrew his outstretched hand with embarrassment, then glanced at William, and then seemed to have regained some confidence:

“The Windsong family is just a middleman. We mainly do business with the Silver Hand, Gray Porcelain, Cold Fire and other families. We brought all kinds of rare minerals from Awa, and they sold us handcrafted products. And the Windsong family is not The only middleman…”

“You just have to answer my question, have you ever had business dealings with the Windsong family before, yes or no?”

Although it sounded extremely impatient, there was no impatient tone in the other party’s tone.

Hobbes nodded and said:

“Yes.”

“Very good…”

The other party heard this directly Turning his head, he said to the four Bloodblade guards behind him:

“Don’t let go of any corner of this ship, the Empire’s spies may exist in every corner.”

Seeing this, Hobbs, who had known the other party’s intention for a long time, quickly ordered the crew on the side to show them the way, and added a sentence at the end:

“There are three imperial sailors in the second layer storage room, please pay attention. , they are the survivors of the previous shipwreck of the imperial warship, we only rescued them by accident, they are not our crew, when the time comes you don’t get me wrong.”

As soon as these words came out, the name The officer looked at Hobbs with a solemn expression.

“What’s going on, please explain clearly.”

Hobbs briefly told the other party what happened on the road, and after listening to his After the description, the man immediately turned his head and looked towards William, who was beside him, and said:

“You mean this man, he ran out of Mist Phantom’s hands and rescued those three people? ”
