In fact, on the way to Savile Territory, Oripus had already decided to live in the human territory permanently and no longer just temporarily avoid the threat of drow. This was decided after serious discussions between him and his two elder uncles, not
Just a whim.
Judging from the current situation of the Silverleaf family, even if they return to Cormanthor in the future, it is unlikely that they will have the same strength as they did in Sif City. The family gave up too much in the process of escaping.
Rather than going to a new city and being suppressed and plundered by local forces, it is better to stay in the human world and accumulate slowly. After all, elves always have privileges in the human world, so they may be able to grow faster.
Considering that blindly being strong would be too annoying, it would be better to put down some unnecessary high-profile. After all, they are just ordinary elves in Cormanthor.
Just as he said to Mrs. Patty, elves are not as old-fashioned as humans imagine, and certainly not as arrogant as humans imagine. Sometimes, Oripus really envies humans for being so unscrupulous in advocating pragmatism.
This is really unimaginable in the elven world. Sometimes, even if you are pretending, you have to pretend to like all kinds of complicated, exquisite, noble, and gorgeous etiquette or items.
Otherwise, the rumors in society would be enough to make it difficult for an elf family to survive.
Maybe there will be another opportunity in the human world!
Many thoughts were constantly surging in my mind. In a moment, one person and one elf had arrived in the villa. After entering the reception room, Oripus immediately stepped forward to greet him:
"Lord Shado, your reputation is so prominent that even Xif City often hears of your name. Oripus Silverleaf finally has the honor to meet you. Thank you Lord Savile for providing shelter to the Silverleaf family!
"
If he didn't have a handsome elf face, he would behave almost the same as those human merchants, and Oripus did not hide that his family came to seek refuge.
Shado was also stunned by the performance of the elf named Oripus. When had the elf ever said such a thing to a human? He originally wanted to ask the elf why he arranged magic in Savile Town without permission.
I couldn't even ask.
It was obvious that the elf had lowered his attitude. It would be inappropriate for him to hold on to this point any longer. After being stunned for a second, Xia Duo immediately responded:
"Welcome the elven friends of the Silverleaf family to visit Savileland!"
Although he knew that the elves came here to take refuge, Xia Duo did not mention this on purpose. He just said that he was a guest, which could save some face for the elves.
Sure enough, when Xia Duo said this, Oripus's expression immediately relaxed. Originally, he was a little worried that humans would ridicule the elves for this, but now, at least both parties have a tacit understanding.
After a while of pleasantries, Xia Duo didn't want to waste his precious time chatting with the elves, so he went directly to the topic, which was also the main purpose of his coming here:
"Chief Oripus, I heard that Cormanthor is at war with the drow. You just came from Cormanthor. I wonder if you know the situation on the front line of the war?"
Even if he was given more face, Shado would never forget the threat from the drow, and he would ask about it after all. Oripus was also mentally prepared for this. He was just glad that Lord Shado did not directly ask him why.
Escape to humans.
"Lord Shado, I don't know much about the drow. The only thing I can confirm is that the drow has appeared on the ground and is close to the Tessa River."
Tessa River?
Xia Duo muttered the name in a low voice. He was not unfamiliar with the name of the Tessa River. The city of Conifera was located on the north bank not far downstream from the source of the Tessa River, and the Tessa River continued to flow eastward and entered the Konefera River.
In Manso territory.
If the drow have already approached the Tessa River, does that mean that the drow may reach the city of Conefira at any time, and then reach the Savile Land?
Thinking of this, Xia Duo almost couldn't do anything. Before the dragon came, the drow came first. He quickly asked Oripus, "Do you know where the drow specifically appeared?"
Regarding this question, Oripus was hesitant at first, but then he made a decision. He touched the surface of the ring on his right index finger, and a long scroll appeared in his hand.
This is a magic map treasured by the Silverleaf family. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Oripus to take it out, let alone show it to a human being. However, under the special circumstances now, there is no need to worry about it.
He carefully pulled the scroll open, used a small spell to levitate the map, pointed at the marks on the map, and introduced to Sha Duo:
"Lord Shado, please look! This is the Tessa River, and not far to the north is the Dragon's Back Mountains. The drow's underground passage is here, but the specific location is not something I can know. However, since the drow appeared in
The location of the ground can roughly estimate the scope of the underground passage, which is probably here."
Oripus drew a small circle on the map with his slender finger. When his finger was removed, a small red circle appeared on the map.
However, Xia Duo did not immediately look at the possible location of the drow underground passage. His attention was already attracted by this magic map.
The terrain on the Elf side is second to none. There is obviously a flashing red dot on the map, and the terrain around the red dot is very familiar to Shado, it is the Saville Territory.
However, this map is a bit like an electronic screen. You can drag and mark it with your fingers. Now the center of the map is a small area circled by Oripus, and the Saville Territory, which was originally in the center of the map, has slipped.
Once you get to the edge of the map, it's almost invisible.
Looking at the map, Xia Duo's eyes almost glowed. Even when he looked at Oripus, his eyes were very hot, "Chief Oripus, this map -"
"ah?"
Oripus was startled by Sha Duo's longing eyes, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly spoke, preparing to dispel Sha Duo's thoughts, "Lord Sha Duo, this is the heirloom of the Silver Leaf Family.
When we, the descendants, see this map, it will be like seeing our ancestors.”
Oripus did not explain how much he cherished the map, but only emotionally hinted at his rejection.
well--
Xia Duo withdrew his gaze with a little pity. Oripus had said so, could he still take it by force? No one could be sure what the elf had to do if he really wanted to break up his face. Furthermore, taking by force was not appropriate.
His true intention.
However, as long as such a map exists, there must be other ways to obtain it.
Moreover, what Xia Duo values is not the map itself. After all, if you want a map, there are many ways to get it. What he really values is the interactive spell.
This map is undoubtedly a magic item, but the interactive method of dragging and marking at will is really like an electronic screen on the earth. Combined with the magic that may store information, isn't this a kind of e-book?
?
If we can study it thoroughly and go in depth, perhaps it is not impossible to realize a personal computer.
