About fifty years ago, the demon broke through the plane barrier and entered the main material world, settling in the north of Faerûn.
They slaughtered creatures wantonly, triggering a strong sense of crisis among the intelligent races across the continent. Several principalities tried their best to eliminate the powerful demon army. However, the Northland suffered such a catastrophe, people's livelihood was in ruins, and many races had to move away.
According to the story of "Shadow", the Silverleaf City in the Black Forest was cut off from life due to the invasion of demons. The elves living here had no choice but to move away.
However, the elves are both arrogant and petty. They cannot tolerate their city being occupied by other intelligent creatures, so they try their best to hide the entire Silver Leaf City. I hope that one day the strength will be restored and the beautiful Silver Leaf City will return to the elves again.
in hand.
After all, elves can easily live hundreds of years, so they can afford to wait.
Over the past fifty years, a large number of human adventurers have entered the Black Forest. They collected precious products in the forest and also searched for the hidden Silverleaf City. But after searching for so many years, there were not many clues. Except for the early settlers of the Iron Ore Valley.
Iron Ore Valley existed before other human settlements were established. The people of the settlement were proud of the huge power windmill and claimed that they had built it themselves.
Maybe some people had doubts about this back then, but Iron Ore Valley has been very poor over the years. Although they produce various minerals and make various weapons, their output is never much, which is no better than the most unlucky Voodoo Swamp.
some.
"Why is the Iron Ore Valley so poor? Because the elves closed all the more than a dozen mines that could still be mined, leaving behind all the mined waste mines. The adventurers who occupied the Iron Ore Valley were unable to break the restrictions set by the elves.
, they can only work in the abandoned mines.
In order to keep the secret, the ruler of the Iron Ore Valley was unwilling to ask outsiders to help, so he could only guard Jinshan as a beggar, which was pitiful."
Zhou Qingfeng moved the horse's head while relaying the words of the 'Shadow'. Although the origin of this mysterious existence is unknown, it is indeed rich in knowledge and always tells some information that others do not understand. It seems that there is no secret in the world that he does not know.
Luke and others all suddenly understood as if listening to a story, and wondered how Uncle Zhou knew such a secret thing. But they did not dare to ask, which made Zhou Qingfeng's image more mysterious and unpredictable, and his origins were beyond anyone's imagination.
Half an hour was up, and Zhou Qingfeng made a move to leave. A group of people immediately chased him from the direction of the Iron Ore Valley, led by a big man with a beard, who shouted from a distance, "Sir Hugo, wait a minute, please wait a minute."
'
More than a dozen people ran out of breath, leaving a trail of smoke and dust.
The female Druidnar snorted and sneered, whispering to Luke beside her: "I have known Feizhe for more than ten years. That guy has always been known for his stubbornness and arrogance, and is known as the most stubborn person in the entire Black Forest. Only now do I know him.
The stubbornness is all fake.”
Luke has also been exploring Silverleaf City in the Black Forest for many years, but found nothing. Today he found out that these bastards in Iron Ore Valley knew some clues but kept them secret, and would rather not develop them themselves than share them with others.
"Fei Zhe, this idiot, how can he be stubborn? He is clearly greedy. But Mr. Hugo is the most enlightened. For the benefit of all humans in the Black Forest, he directly disclosed the secrets of Silver Leaf City." Luke took advantage of the situation and praised Zhou Qingfeng.
.
Uncle Zhou's face was slightly red and he was embarrassed to speak. He laughed at himself: "I am not a noble person, and I don't know anything about Silver Leaf City. If it weren't for survival, who would easily put such an important relic with
Share with others?”
The people from the Iron Ore Valley quickly approached, and the bearded leader Fei Zhe caught up and shouted to Zhou Qingfeng: "Sir Hugo, please forgive me for my indifference. My men said that you know some secrets, I hope you can
Let’s discuss it in detail in the settlement.”
As the leader, Fei Zhe was very polite. But his men were not. After catching up, they dispersed in a semi-surrounded posture. It was obvious that their secrets had been leaked, and they must not let Zhou Qingfeng and others leave.
.
Luke and Nal were very sensitive. When they saw something was wrong, they immediately pulled out their weapons with a few clangs. Even Jason, who had always been calm, took out his staff and took out an arcane scroll.
It's too common for people to start fights over disagreements.
Fei Zhe turned a blind eye to this and stared at Zhou Qingfeng, suspicious and frightened.
When he first heard the news, he was furious. The secret that he had kept for decades could be seen through by outsiders so easily. But he also had some hope. After all, the feeling of being inaccessible was too tortured. Maybe he would encounter a break today.
man of.
Zhou Qingfeng got off his horse, walked to Fei Zhe with a smile, stretched out his hand and said: "Dear Mr. Fei Zhe, I am actually here to ask for help. Now we are all facing a crisis, and there are opportunities hidden in the danger. It depends on whether we can grasp it.
Already."
Fei Zhe was tall and strong, several times stronger than Zhou Qingfeng. Although he was a relatively calm and calm young man, he was a little guilty and impetuous. When Zhou Qingfeng stretched out his hand, he finally breathed a sigh of relief - this meant that there was still more to talk about.
After the two shook hands, the atmosphere eased and they walked toward the settlement together.
"Sir Hugo, may I ask you..." Fei Zhe accompanied Zhou Qingfeng and naturally wanted to know the origin of the young man.
Zhou Qingfeng was walking in the carriage with a smile on his face. Before he could think of how to answer, the old dwarf on the other side choked directly: "Fei Zhe, you are a hypocrite, don't ask. Your Excellency Hugo is a real nobleman with a noble birth, not
You can figure it out."
Ranger Luke also disliked Fei Zhe, so he also supported him and said, "Fei Zhe, I have always regarded you as a friend, but I didn't expect that you had hidden it from us for so many years.
Mr. Hugo is a truly benevolent warrior who came to save mankind in the entire Black Forest. How could he tell you his identity so easily? You just need to stay humble."
Fei Zhe has a muscular body, a strong physique, and a flamboyant beard. He looks like the kind of ruthless person who is both thick and thin. But now that he is being teased one after another and suppressed by Zhou Qingfeng, his face is red with embarrassment but he still can't return the favor.
mouth.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't say a few words from beginning to end, but he didn't expect that he was so successful in pretending. But if he didn't speak again, the cooperative atmosphere would crack, so he said: "Mr. Fei Zhe, I can understand your selfishness.
.Everyone wants to monopolize the benefits.”
Fei Zhe raised his head in surprise.
Zhou Qingfeng continued: "But now we are facing a common enemy and common troubles. Next, everyone must be honest, tell us directly if you have any needs, and shoulder any difficulties together. If we don't unite and cooperate, we will be enslaved even if we don't die."
"
Fei Zhe was even more surprised and couldn't help asking on the spot: "Sir Hugo, what do you want to do?"
Zhou Qingfeng also said simply, "I can help you open other mines in the Elf Forge, and I can also tell you the specific location of Silver Leaf City. Now I just hope to unite the ten human settlements in the Black Forest that have not yet surrendered.
So I want Mr. Fei Zhe to do a favor and immediately send people to notify the other eight settlements except Iron Ore Valley and Voodoo Swamp. I need to gather as much strength as possible to first defeat those human traitors, and then sweep away those hateful people.
Goblin.
As for the profits from finding the elven ruins, I won’t take any of them and will give them all to you.”
