Summoning the Holy Sword

The kingdom of law is a politically neutral and relatively neutral place. Its land area is not large, even smaller than the Principality of Munn itself. The territory of the kingdom of law is located in the dragon country of the light and the dragon of the night. At the center of the border of the country, if the pattern is used as an example, the Dragon Country of Light and the Dragon Country of Night are merged into an oval shape, then the Kingdom of Law is like a V-shaped blade cut from the center of this oval shape. , Split it in two.

But unlike the Principality of Munn, the transportation environment of the country of law is not very convenient. The Elven Forest and the Dragon Sleeping Mountains that separate the Dragon Country of Light and the Dragon Country of Night are not convenient. The main traffic route is mostly surrounded by mountains, densely forested, and the love and care of the elves for the forest. Therefore, it is difficult for humans to expand business roads through the mountains, not to mention that the elves are not so easy to communicate and persuade. Object. Therefore, most merchants would rather use the fashionable commercial road developed by the Principality of Munn for trade transportation.

Although there are no convenient transportation conditions, this is not difficult for the residents of the French country. In the French country, half-elves and elves are the main residents. They live in the forest, and the rough roads that humans see are not great for the kingdom of law. And most elves are born with indifferent surnames, and do not value money as much as humans. Therefore, although the trade of the country of France is not very prosperous, they have been very leisurely and peaceful.

Even though the country of law is not the economic center of the entire continent, no country dares to underestimate its influence. As the most influential religious shrine on this continent, the believers of the church are everywhere in this continent . Moreover, even though the kingdom of law itself is not the center of financial trade, its church still plays the dual role of a bank and a notary office in the mainland. Due to the neutrality of the kingdom of law itself, coupled with the trial and adjudication of the twin dragons Influence, the church's reputation and credibility throughout the mainland are very high, so no matter which country is quite respectful of the country of France. Even during the game, the Principality of Muen was attacked by the Dragon of the Night, and the players and refugees left by boat to enter the realm of the Kingdom of Law, and the pursuit of the Dragon of the Night stopped. Hovering beyond the borders of the kingdom of law, and ultimately chose to retreat and leave.

Regarding the reason why the kingdom of law is so high on the mainland, players also have different opinions. Most people think that this may be comparable to the kingdom of law although it cannot compete with the three archangels and the four magicians in terms of high-level combat power. But they have two creation dragon souls at the same time. Even if the kingdom of light and the kingdom of night are united, the number of dragon souls is just as good as the kingdom of law. Moreover, the country of Fa has a good geographical location, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if it is taken down, it will not be of much benefit, and it will offend the two major creation dragon souls to find themselves uncomfortable. Naturally, no one wants to do such a silly thing. And the Church of the Kingdom of Law has always advocated guarding order and eliminating chaos. When the major lords opened up their territories and maintained order, they were more or less assisted by the church and the kingdom of law, and most of them were unwilling to do such things.

There are several roads to the country of France, and Rhodes chose a relatively remote road that borders the country of France along the border of the Principality of Munn. Due to the unique territorial shape of the country of law, most of the major traffic links connected with the country of law must pass through the country of light. Naturally, Rhodes knew that after the little bubble gum abandoned the sword sage of Lan, he had become The Council of Light's eyes nailed it. If they were to enter the country of France from those roads, they might be stared at by the Council of Light. Rhode was unwilling to come up with any troublesome things. Therefore, he chose to go through the monsoon corridor to the country of France.

Blackberry is a remote town on the edge of the monsoon corridor. The residents here are mostly semi-elves. Due to human origin, most of them can not stand as a monk in the old forest in the mountains like a real elf, but The blood of the elves made them yearn for everything in nature. In the end, these half-elves chose a compromise solution and built villages and towns in the outer area of ​​the Elven Forest, gathered together, and lived here. In this way, not only can they be surrounded by nature as they expect, but they can also be exposed to the hustle and bustle of the outside world like humans from time to time.

It's the same here.

"Wow ..."

Entering the town, looking at the scenery in front of her, Annie could not help uttering a sigh of admiration.

Different from the human villages and towns along the way, the blackberry town in front of it shows a rare sense of harmony and coziness, vitality and tranquility coexist. The surrounding houses are also completely different from the houses built by humans. Although they are also constructed of wood, they are compared with the style of cutting and trimming wood. The style of the house here is obviously more casual and wild. The house built by the dense vines and wide branches suddenly looks like a part of the surrounding trees. If it is not the stairs and doors with artificial traces, If there is a beautifully carved sign hanging on a branch, I am afraid that no one would think it is a village. And just mistakenly think that he walked into a strange woodland.

Rhode and his party who walked into the town immediately attracted a lot of curiosity and attention. After all, for such a remote place, few travellers appeared. Not to mention that Rhodes's dress is also very eye-catching. Rhodes itself need not be said. The beautiful woman-like face and the black aristocratic dress make people see that he is extraordinary. . Not to mention the little mermaid who has been following Rhodes, in the water polo and beside the little mermaid, looking around with wide eyes and curious, carrying a thick and huge Adamantite shield that is enough for everyone to focus on. Annie. Just the combination of these three people is enough to attract a lot of attention even in the bustling hustle and bustle of the city, let alone in this remote little place.

Compared to them, Li Jie in the robe of the spiritual master was not so conspicuous-but this was also what Li Jie expected.

Although the half-elves who have inherited the blood of the elves like to be lively, they are not as fun as humans, so for these eye-catching visitors, the half-elves in the town are at most just letting go of their labors and turning their heads away. Observing them curiously, only those young children will happily follow Rhode and others, chasing the mermaid and running around. In the face of these children, the mermaid was a little nervous, but It was not too evasive. After all, after this exercise, even the timid little mermaid has gradually become accustomed to this kind of life surrounded by everyone.

"Annie, from here on, it is the realm of the kingdom of law. You have to be obedient. Don't do the troublesome things like before. Have you heard? This is not the Principality of Munn. If you accidentally arrest you, Then I have no way to save you out. By then you will know that you are alone in the water cell. "

"Annie knows, head, all right, rest assured."

"hope so."

Upon hearing Annie's answer, Rhodes raised an eyebrow, and then walked deeper into the town.

The biggest difference between Blackberry Town and other human towns is its tranquility and peace. Half-elves like to be "lively" compared to elves. For Annie and Lijie from human cities, what they experience here What arrived was the tranquility of a certain style. Although many open-sale merchants can be seen in the small tree-lined square not far away, but no loud and noisy screams like the human society fair are heard, the shopkeeper just arranges things neatly At the booth, buyers will pick and pay for the price. The whole process is carried out in a very quiet process, and you can hardly hear any complaints and blame about the goods being too expensive or of poor quality.

"If you want to buy something, this is your last chance."

As he looked away from the market, Rhodes said.

"After entering the kingdom of law, our money is useless, so if you want to make your money more meaningful, then here it is."

"Hey?"

Hearing Rhode's words, Annie was stunned. Although she didn't listen to Rhode's narration about the customs and customs of the country of law along the way, she never heard such a thing beyond her imagination.

"Useless? Why?"

"Because the elves don't care about money, the gold coins we carry are not circulating inside the elf dominion. The elves don't like gold coins and they don't like trade. They mostly choose to trade in barter. But Even such a deal is rarely seen among elves. Because the elves basically don't have much desire and don't have anything particularly wanted. "

"Hey----?"

Upon hearing this, Annie frowned immediately.

"What if Anne gets in there and wants to eat and sleep?"

"Ordinary people are rarely allowed to enter the elf dominion. Even if they enter, the elf will have a special station to entertain guests from outside. So you don't have to worry about eating and sleeping, but if you see something inside, If you want to buy it, it depends on whether you can come up with something that interests the elves. "Speaking of which, Rhode paused first, then he glanced at Annie around him, his lips slightly tilted. "By the way, the elves' skills in crafts and jewelry are very good."

Sure enough, no matter how naturally off-line, Annie is still a girl. When she hears crafts and jewelry, the girl's eyes suddenly glow.

"Really? If there is such a good thing, Annie wants it ......... By the way, Li Jie, what do you want?"

Having said that, Annie turned her head and asked Li Jie behind her, but in the face of Annie's inquiry, Li Jie looked up blankly and looked at her in surprise, only to return to her mind after a moment, hurried Waved.

"Ah, I don't want anything, Annie ..."

"Hey ...? It's boring."

Upon hearing Li Jie's answer, Annie poked her mouth, but soon she leaped to Rhode's side again, reaching out and holding Rhode's arm.

"Leader, Annie thinks Li Jie is better with some beautiful jewelry, such as ..."

"no need!!"

Before Annie had finished speaking, she saw Li Jie suddenly whisper and yell. The anger of the girl broke the original tranquility, and it suddenly shocked everyone. The little mermaid opened her eyes in surprise and moved closer to Rhode. Even Annie was surprised at this moment and turned to look at Li Jie behind her, her mouth wide open and she didn't know what to say. And Rhodes frowned slightly, looking at the girl.

Under everyone's attention, Li Jie seemed to be able to reflect what she had just done. She hurriedly raised her head and waved her hand. "Yes, I'm sorry, Annie. I didn't do it on purpose ...... I ...... I was just tired from the journey, I was a bit tired ...... I'm sorry ...... I didn't mean it ...... ''

"Um! Nothing, it's Annie."

Upon hearing Li Jie's apology, there was nothing unusual on the face of Annie. She just came to Li Jie's side and reached out to hold the girl's hand.

"Sorry, Li Jie, Annie shouldn't bother you, let's find a place now and take a good rest. Annie wants to sleep well too."

Facing Annie's apology, Li Jie just lowered her head, a gloom of depression and strange haze flashed from the girl's eyes, but no one noticed it.

"......... Umm ... I'm sorry, Annie, I didn't mean it ..."

Then Li Jie muttered.

After that, everyone also lost their interest in visiting the bazaar and entered the only hotel in the town. Then Li Jie returned to the room to rest on the grounds of physical discomfort. However, although the girl didn't say anything, for the people around her, what Li Jie showed now was quite abnormal.

"Head ...... what happened to Li Jie?"

Sitting on a chair, playing with the apple in her hand, Annie looked upset and looked at Rhode with an expression of anxiety and worry.

"Will it be ill, if that's the case, it would have been quieter for Anne to have known ..."

Rod didn't answer Annie's question either. He sat at the table and frowned slightly looking out the window. At this moment, it is already evening, with the light of the sunset gradually submerging below the horizon, and with the generals at night, the moonlight grass outside the house gradually starts to brighten-this kind of plant that moves at night gradually raises its head, semicircle The shape of the flower buds gradually bloomed, and the bright light appeared from it, illuminating the dark earth. But now, Rhode has no time to admire the night view outside. Even Anne, who is naturally off-line, perceives that Li Jie is abnormal, and Rhode naturally noticed this. Since Li Jie was very proactive and stubborn at the beginning, she felt that something was wrong with her. Based on Rhodes' understanding of Li Jie, she is not like such a proactive and tough person, and during the travel, Li Jie's performance is also a bit weird. Although Li Jie's surname is somewhat inward and gentle, it is definitely not a taciturn word. People. But since leaving the place of atonement and going to the country of law, Li Jie has rarely spoken. Even when Rhodes or Annie asked her, she absently returned a few words. Ping Yueli had been in a daze on the road. , Or don't know what is thinking.

Not only that, Rhodes also noticed that in the battle during the journey, Li Jie seemed to be abnormal and unusually invested-this is completely different from her usual investment, if you want to say, it is closer to small Little Bubble Gum's radical "though even a spiritual master has to stick a stick to the front and give me up to choke him to death".

Rhodes also wanted to talk to Li Jie several times, but Li Jie always made excuses to avoid him. At first, Rhodes thought it was a follow-up effect of that incident. But now it seems that things are not as simple as he thought, Li Jie is not the kind of person who is careful and easy to get angry. Because of this, her sudden outburst made Rhodes more vigilant. Rhodes is not the kind of dull stupid person. He hasn't seen too many women, and has seen more women. Rhodes is very clear, the more honest and docile a girl like Li Jie is, the more horrible it is, because that often means that she has become intolerable and no longer needs to be tolerated. And once it broke out completely, she lost everything in her sense and control. On the other hand, a girl with an extraordinarily cheerful name like Annie, even if she is really furious, often cannot persist for two or three days and will completely lose her breath.

In the face of Li Jie's attitude, Rhodes did not have a particularly good response for a while.

"All in all, Lijie doesn't seem to be in a good mood recently. You'd better be quiet."

"OK, all right."

Upon hearing Rhode's answer, Annie nodded obediently, but soon a little anxiety appeared on her face.

"Head, I don't know why, Annie always thinks Li Jie seems a bit horrible ......... Such a Li Jie Annie feels a little scared ..."

It is indeed a half-beast. Even Anne, who is naturally offline, instinctively senses the danger emanating from Li Jie.

"I've kept you waiting."

At this time, the owner of the tavern moved his rolling body with a smile, and came to the table of the two with a smile. He opened his eyes curiously and surprised first, and glanced at Rhode's side. The little mermaid, then looked back and lowered her head.

"What's the point? We have freshly brewed wine, grilled fish and blackberry bread. They are all very famous and well-known local specialty products, and they will surely satisfy everyone."

"Bring out all your favorite signboards here, if not enough, we can add more."

Glancing at the tavern owner, his eyes were as bright as a light bulb, and Anne sent a tail to swing around behind him, and Rhode quickly responded. Hearing Rhode's words, the boss could not help but stunned, and then immediately appeared a smile more enthusiastic than before, then turned around, whispered a few words to the waiter next to him, and then the waiter turned quickly Leaving all the way. But the tavern owner didn't leave immediately at the moment. Instead, he turned around again, looking at Rhode and Annie with a little gaze.

"Some people have come a long way. Where do you want to go?"

"We have something to go to Fairy Forest."

For the bold inquiries of the tavern owner, Rhodes didn't care, and quickly gave an answer. He was very clear that in the periphery of the country of law, many people in these semi-elves' gathering areas would have contact with the elf dominion. In principle, the Elven Dominion strictly restricts the entry of races other than elves and semi-elves. Therefore, anyone who appears on the border of the country of law and wants to go to the Elves Dominion will report to the inside through a secret contact, and the Elves Dominion will decide whether to welcome Their entry. This is a remote town, and these foreigners come here, the destination is naturally self-evident. And Rhode asked himself whether he had come here to kill or set fire, or to make a mess, and there was nothing to say-he was not a druid.

"So this is ah."

Upon hearing Rhode's answer, the tavern owner nodded, but soon a little hesitation appeared on his face, and then the boss rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"This ......... please forgive me if there is any disrespect, but I have to remind a few, if you are going to pass through the Emerald Valley, there is another way."

"Any questions?"

Upon hearing the boss's answer, Rhode put down his wine glass, frowned slightly, and asked.

"Is the Emerald Valley blocked?"

"That's not true, dear guest."

Facing Rhode's inquiry, the boss hurriedly smiled and shook his head to deny it.

"But these days, the source of chaos near the Emerald Valley is spreading a little bit, and those evil, cunning monsters are raging in the Emerald Valley, so if you plan to pass there to the Elven Forest, I suggest you change the bar. The route is better. "

That's it.

Hearing this, Rhode nodded, then he spoke.

"So ..............."

And just as Rhodes was going to answer, suddenly, a familiar system uplift sounded suddenly, and then, in front of Rhodes, a long-lost system prompt emerged.
