The reason why Li Wei made this decision without hesitation was that he had to admit that he did have some selfish motives.

Since this disguised slave ship came from the north, most of the slaves captured on board were people from the Silver Moon Federation.

And there is a high probability that they are retail investors living in the riverside area where the Moon Forest and the Eternal Wasteland meet.

Because after passing this generation area, we reach the patrol range of Silvermoon City. Every day, a large number of rangers serve as scouts to investigate the surrounding area to provide early warning of possible invasion and plunder by orcs, barbarians and some uncontrolled orc tribes at any time.

.

These non-productive races can only maintain their lives and reproduce their race by plundering food and women.

After passing this solid portal, you will arrive at the second portal of the Silver Moon Federation, Aylward.

A walled trading city made up of humans, elves, half-elves and halflings.

It is Silvermoon City's staunchest ally, and the ruling Council of Six Elders is also an important part of the Federation Council.

Because Aylward is located in the riverbank area between the Eternal Wasteland and the Nether Mountains, it is surrounded by enemies from almost all sides.

The trolls who once roamed the Eternal Wilds were considered stupid, but the giants who have replaced them in recent years are not.

The towering trees in the highest forest in the south of the city are getting closer and closer to the city wall. It is the Tulang tree people who are pushing the highest forest to the north.

Ostensibly to drive the remnants of Hellgate Keep to the east, but no one thought it was a good idea to enter the High Forest with an axe.

Only by passing through Aylward can you reach the pocket-shaped Raven River Valley, which is surrounded by the Nether Mountains and the Supreme Forest. This is the relatively stable area of ​​the entire Northland.

Every harvest month, you can see stretches of golden grain being harvested by farmers on the riverbanks and hilly areas on both sides of the Shwewen River.

However, due to the stabilization of the Silver Moon Federation's rule and the increasing number of various creatures that have escaped war in the past five hundred years, the population of this small but safe valley has long been saturated.

Therefore, those immigrants who longed to be accepted and protected by the Silvermoon Federation had no choice but to develop foundry houses in the downstream areas closer to Silvermoon City.

The Silver Moon Federation has indeed assigned some rangers to patrol this newly reclaimed area, but after all, some of them are beyond their reach, and the orc tribes or slave trading groups can always find opportunities to take advantage of them.

Originally, Levi was still having a headache, how to make Zelandia naturally integrate into the complex and diverse environment of the Northland on the surface.

After all, surface creatures are prejudiced against underground races except dwarves, so the slave ship in front of them becomes an excellent entry point for them to intervene on the surface!

The common practice of slave traders was to kill all those who resisted and then kidnap the rest.

But the group in front of me is even more ruthless! They only want children and women.

Therefore, even if he rescues them, most of them will be homeless. He can naturally accept these people of the Silver Moon Federation and build a small fishing village here first.

Preparation for population migration and integration to the surface.

As long as they do this, Zelandia will be equivalent to having a household registration in the Northland to a certain extent!

How about it? Does it look familiar?

That's right, that's what the elven god Corellon did when he smuggled the elves from their world to the continent of Corellon!

As for whether doing so would offend the forces behind the slave ship?

Li Wei laughed, how could a dragon be so naive?

Because you can't be friends with every force, you have to choose your side after all.

By then, after Zeelandia has successfully taken root in the Northland, it will also arouse the hostility of some forces.

Moreover, Li Wei really disdained the good intentions of the forces engaged in slave trading.

There is one point on which he strongly agrees with Calvin, and that is:

Slave traders deserve to die!

As he finished speaking, Calvin had already boarded the ship through [advanced teleportation], instantly causing panic among the crew.

Human beings who can use teleportation so casually are by no means ordinary people!

Advanced spellcaster!

Still the top group!

They have never even heard of such a young high-level spellcaster in the North!

In their minds, the only people in the North who had such achievements were the former Masked Lord of Waterdeep City and the Archmage Elminster. However, these two legendary figures were no longer young and rarely appeared in public.

Northland appears.

As soon as Calvin appeared on the scene, he almost shocked everyone on the ship.

"Powerful spellcaster, we are very sorry for the recklessness and rudeness of the crew! They are all a group of new sailors with little experience. I don't know what your purpose is, but our Red Maple Caravan will do our best to meet your needs!"

A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman hurriedly came out of the cabin and saluted Calvin with his hands on his chest fearfully.

Calvin said unceremoniously: "Caravan? Are your so-called commodities the trembling women and children in the bilge?"

The face of the 'businessman' changed slightly, and he felt bitter in his heart, secretly thinking that he was unlucky.

And now that the other party has discovered it, things may not be going well.

You must know that Alustriel of Silvermoon City has a zero-tolerance attitude towards slave trading. Even ordinary slave trading penalties are extremely severe, not to mention that their identities cannot be exposed, otherwise the consequences will be extremely tragic.

No choice!

You can’t delay it here either!

Because when they were gathering the last batch of goods, they were bumped into by a Harper. Although he was captured on the spot and prepared to transport them to Neverwinter, God knows if he left any signal mark.

So they are now, to some extent, racing against time!

Thinking like this, he could only force out a smile, and at the same time looked back and forth between Calvin and Levi, who was still on the river bank:

"This makes your eyes dirty, it's really

"Feel sorry!"

And just as the last two words fell heavily, a cold light burst out from his eyes. A dagger dropped from his sleeve and was grabbed by his calloused right hand. He leaned over and rushed towards Calvin!

At the same time, behind Calvin, a thief sneaked past and stabbed Calvin in the back with two daggers coated with poison.

When the other crew members saw the captain's left hand behind his back making signals towards them, they also raised their longbows, half of them aimed at Calvin, and the other half aimed in the direction of Levi, ready to shoot.

The idea of ​​​​"businessman" is very simple and crude.

What about high-level professionals!

Even if you get close, you will still be no different from ordinary people!

As a magician, he didn't bring any guards, and he dared to teleport directly to their deck without even opening a shield!

Simply looking for death!

In his imaginary script, this spellcaster would definitely activate a defensive spell such as [Elemental Shield] or [Steel Body] at the first opportunity, and it would most likely be silent or even instantaneous.

After all, high-level spellcasters usually prepare some life-saving spells.

And when the opponent has done this, he will be approached by the thieves behind him. The subordinate's dagger is not an ordinary thing, but an extraordinary weapon enchanted with a magic-breaking effect! It has also been quenched with poison.

Once he is stabbed in the kidney from the back, hehe, even the healing skills of ordinary priests cannot save him!

He seemed to be able to see the scene where the opponent froze after being attacked by a sneak attack and was beheaded by his own sword.

The only problem is that it is still so far away from the river bank. What if his elf companion escapes.

She is a 'big beauty', but she is a little taller, but it doesn't matter, as long as her face is good-looking, there are many nobles in Neverwinter who like this type of girl!

If the two people in front of me are really normal high-level magicians, it is really possible for them to fall into this trap if they are careless.

But what he will never think of is that

These two guys in front of me

But there is no normal person.

They're not even mages

"ah!!!"

A miserable howl broke his beautiful fantasy.

The assassin behind Calvin suddenly knelt down with a distorted face halfway through, covering his head and rolling around wildly, dying in pain.

The thief felt as if countless steel cones were poking into his brain and stirring again and again, turning his brain into a paste.

It's not a high-level spell.

Just a first-level psionic spell:

【Psychic Stab】!

"Shoot! Shoot quickly!!"

The thief fell to the ground inexplicably, causing the 'businessman''s complexion to change drastically in an instant. He quickly pinched the necklace around his neck, launched a protective spell, and at the same time slashed towards the opponent's neck with a sword, and roared at the same time.

But just when his dagger was about to cut through the 'mage's' neck.

He was horrified to find that he suddenly couldn't move!

It's like my body is no longer under my control!

Not only him, but everyone who rushed onto the deck was unable to move!
