This is a very complex team, including not only elves, but also orcs, humans, and even rare half-elves.
Adil and Barana were walking among them, but they were both covered in black robes and walked silently among them, not looking too conspicuous.
Walking on the road, looking at the long road in the distance, Adil looked calm, and quietly followed the several elf guides in front of him who were responsible for leading the way, and walked forward.
This is a small smuggling group, and it is also the route that Barana found for Adil.
The elves are extremely exclusive, and except for a very small number of people, very few people are allowed to enter the real territory of the elves.
As for the cities outside the Silver Mist Forest, they were only built by the elves specifically for the purpose of conducting trade with the outside world, and they did not belong to the core areas of the elves.
There are very few people who are qualified to enter the Silver Mist Forest. As time goes by, some people will naturally think of other ideas, such as sneaking into the forest.
Except for the few elves responsible for leading the way, the people in the team in front of us are all stowaways.
The purposes of these stowaways vary, but the most important one is to secretly establish trade relations with some elven tribes.
Among the elves, in addition to the supreme royal court and a few great nobles, there are actually countless small elves tribes.
These small tribes are usually oppressed by the directly subordinate elf nobles. Most of the output within the tribe will be collected by the direct nobles at extremely low prices. After being transported to the few cities used for trade, they are then sold to extremely high prices.
Those businessmen who come here to do business.
In this process, those nobles naturally made a lot of money, but the life of the oppressed small tribes was not easy. Over time, some small tribes would secretly establish contact with some stowaways, directly bypassing the elven nobles, and
Sell the products of your own tribe.
Although the price will be severely reduced by foreign merchants and it requires taking a lot of risks, the profits obtained will undoubtedly be much better, so many small tribes will do this secretly.
In addition to merchants who want to secretly establish trading points, the other main group of smugglers are the slave-catching groups supported by the nobles.
In the Forest of Silver Mist, elves are naturally worthless, but in the human world, elves are symbols of beauty, and each of them is considered valuable.
If you are lucky enough and can catch a few elven nobles with royal bloodlines in their ancestors, it will be a big success, and some wizards who want to conduct related experiments will buy the flower magic stone.
Thinking of this, Adil raised his head slightly and looked to one side with the corner of his eyes.
Under the keen sense of the moon elf, behind Adil, there were several people following him from a distance, with a strong aura of life on their bodies. They were basically trainee knights.
In the center of the seven or eight apprentice knights, there are two beings with the most powerful vitality. At this time, they look like ordinary people, but their temperament is very cold and their aura is very strong.
These two are knight-level existences. Although they are not strong among knights, it can be seen from some details that they are true warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles.
There is no doubt that this group of people is very likely to be a slave-catching group. Judging from the fact that all the members are trainee knights, they must have a good background, and they may have a noble background.
Adil didn't want to delve into this.
With his current strength and status in the Dark Wizards Alliance, if he is willing to negotiate with the elves in person, it is actually not difficult to enter the Silver Mist Forest through legitimate means.
But as a result, many people's attention will inevitably gather around him. At the very least, as an elder of the Dark Wizards Alliance, he will definitely attract a lot of attention along the way, and he will even be received by several elven nobles.
But doing so would not be in line with Adil's character, and it might not be conducive to the purpose of his visit this time.
"Let's go in first and take a look at the current situation of the elves, and then decide on the next countermeasures."
Walking on the road, looking at the lush vegetation in the distance, this thought flashed through Adil's mind.
According to common sense, the Sacrifice of the Moon God is an advanced meditation method exclusive to the moon elves, and its complete version is most likely to be in the hands of the Elf King.
It's just that the current situation of the elves is also very complicated.
Before coming here, Adil had visited some wizards who knew something about the elves, and he had a rough understanding of the current situation of the elves.
As early as hundreds of years ago, the Elf Royal Court had begun to decline. It is said that not only Mo Xia's power was constantly being ousted by several great Elf nobles, but even the bloodline of his descendants was said to be not as good as before, so his power was still declining.
Although in name, the Elf Royal Court still rules over all the elves, in fact, the power of the various great nobles is no longer weaker than that of the Royal Court, but they are still subordinate in name.
If you want to obtain the inheritance of the elves in such a complicated situation, you still need to understand the situation well.
After walking for a while, birds gradually flew through the forest in the distance, bringing with them a burst of bird song.
"Who!!" A cry suddenly came from the front.
Among the grass and trees, a figure flashed past, causing the elf leading the way to suddenly change his face and couldn't help shouting.
They looked at each other, and then in unison, they pulled out the elf swords on their waists and walked forward slowly with sharp eyes.
"No one?"
When they arrived at the place, they looked at the empty and spacious space in front of them. They were a little confused, but also a little relieved: "It must be some kind of beast..."
Behind him, at this moment, Adil raised his head and looked in a certain direction in the distance.
In his mental perception, there were several figures running wildly in the distance, and they were very fast.
"There are five in total, and they are all real knights..."
Standing there, he looked into the distance and murmured to himself.
"What's wrong?"
From the side, Barana's concerned voice sounded.
She looked at Adil's face and asked with some concern.
"nothing."
Shaking his head, Adier didn't say anything more, but he was already ready to leave.
The area in front of us already belongs to the sphere of influence of the elves. At such a close distance, several knights fleeing in embarrassment suddenly appeared. It didn't look like there was anything good going on.
Since those few are running away, it means that someone must be chasing them nearby, and they are probably stronger than those knights.
Thinking of this, Adil shook his head secretly, just looked at the team in front of him, and Barana who looked a little confused beside him, and said nothing more.
After experiencing the previous episode, they encountered no accidents and successfully arrived at the next camp before night.
There were several very simple wooden houses, and there were a lot of dried firewood piled behind the wooden houses, making the place look a bit like a logging house.
When they came here, several of the elf guides who led the way started to spontaneously light a fire to make soup, and some others walked aside with an almost rusty logging axe, apparently ready to chop some firewood to prepare for next time.
After a while, a bowl of hot and thick soup was brought up, with some wild vegetables and bread crumbs added to it. It tasted pretty good.
At night, Adil sat alone on a white stone outside several relatively large wooden houses, quietly looking at the moon in the sky.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting wisps of silver moonlight, which shone on Adier's body, casting long shadows.
There are often low-pitched chirping of insects in the grass and trees nearby, and occasionally there are low-pitched howls of wild beasts.
Sitting on the white stone, Adil even saw a few wild wolves passing by, each one more than one meter tall, with a faint light in their eyes.
After seeing Adil, these beasts did not take the initiative to come forward. Instead, they seemed to feel something and left Adil's surroundings one by one.
"You came out too."
Sitting on the stone, at a certain moment, Adil opened his eyes and spoke without looking back.
Behind him, there was a girl in black robe standing behind him. She listened to his words and didn't care: "Your senses are still so sensitive."
"Aren't you going to rest?"
Adil looked at Barana and said, "It's fine as long as I'm here."
"I don't want to live with those smelly people."
Seemingly bored, Barana asked: "Where is the orc who was watching the night with you before?"
"He was hypnotized by me and sent to others."
Adier's expression remained unchanged and he spoke calmly.
Under the silver moonlight, his appearance changed somewhat.
In order to not attract attention, he used the jade mark on his body to change his appearance to make himself look like an ordinary human being.
But now, his appearance has returned to its previous appearance.
His black hair was disheveled, his appearance was extremely handsome, and his pure eyes were looking at the bright moon in the sky. A calm and peaceful aura gradually spread out from his whole body, making Barana standing beside him stunned.
But she quickly reacted. Looking at Adil in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh: "You don't look like a half-elf at all, but more like an elf noble with noble blood."
She looked at Adil's handsome and delicate face and his slightly sharp ears, and sighed with envy.
"Maybe."
Regarding her words, Adil was noncommittal and said nothing.
Strictly speaking, after transforming into the moon elf bloodline, he is indeed not a half-elf now, but a complete pure-blood elf, and his appearance has also changed a lot.
Those characteristics belonging to the elves have become much more obvious, even under the suppression of the jade mark. They just look different from ordinary people, and they are a bit too handsome.
But Adil didn't care about this.
As if he felt something, he stood up silently from where he was, looking towards a certain direction in the distance, silently.
And in several wooden houses in the distance, an accident was also happening.
