Chapter 573 (1/2)
The northwest border of the Holy maniyah Empire, colinburg.
As a fortress built to resist the invasion of the northern orcs, this military town has always been an important pass in the western part of the Empire, bordering on the snow mountain grassland in the north and the weimur River in the West. The number of its garrisons once reached 100000, and they were the elite of the Empire.
However, the internal friction of the Empire in recent decades has gradually consumed the national strength, and it has been unable to support maintaining such a fortress in the bitter and cold areas of the West.
In addition, the relationship between humans and orcs has gradually eased in recent years, and the Empire's high-level gradually has no intention of maintaining the Fort Collins garrison, so it is gradually abandoned.
Today, there are less than 5000 troops left in this military town, all of them old, weak and disabled. The city itself has become a place where some merchants and orcs trade -
thanks to the tiny vimur River pier in Fort Collins.
It's just that colinburg is so remote.
Even though it has become a communication node between humans and orcs, there is little popularity here except in autumn, and it has always been in a state of decline and desolation.
Originally It should be like this.
At this very moment, the Western Pier of Fort Collins.
There's a lot of people coming and going.
More than one merchant ship stopped at the dock, while a large number of adventurers, bounty hunters, despondent nobles, and some luxuriant peddlers gathered on the shore.
It looks like a busy commercial port.
On the bank, a strong and powerful soldier was walking along the river.
He was followed by a well armed, ferocious Orc entourage with a respectful look.
On his side, there is an adventurer in shabby clothes, who is saying something enthusiastically
”My Lord, as soon as I look at your clothes, I can see that you are of extraordinary origin. Have you also come for the relics of gods on the other side of the river?”
He asked pleasantly.
”The remains of the gods?”
The tall soldier stopped a little and took a look at the adventurer.
It seemed to be inspired, and the adventurers were even more excited.
He chuckled and patted his chest:
”to tell you the truth, I've been to collinburgh for more than three months, and the remains of the gods have been in twice. As long as you can give me ten pounds, I will tell you everything I know!”
The soldiers didn't take a look at the tall soldiers.
The orc sneered at the adventurer, took out a ten pound gold coin from his arms and threw it away.
As soon as the adventurer's eyes lit up, he quickly put it away, and then enthusiastically said:
”thank you! Thank you, my Lord! What do you want to know, my lord? ”
”Tell me about the interior of the site.”
The soldier said in a deep voice.
The adventurer nodded:
”my Lord, speaking of this divine relic In fact, it is the divine kingdom of the world tree that fell down a thousand years ago. There There are corpses all over the place, and there are many treasures of the dead, and there are many precious magic plants
”A lot of people who go in and come out are rich.”
He described it with flying eyebrows.
”Oh? However, I heard that this piece of relics seems to have been delimited as a sphere of influence by the elves. All the beings entering it are enemies of the elves and the goddess of life. ”
The tall soldier raised his eyebrows and said.
The adventurer laughs:
”Hey, that's what I said, but how can the elves manage with so many people going in? As for the true God How can we, the weak beings, not enter the sight of the gods
”But when I went in, I met those crazy elves and had a fight with them, don't say They are fierce, and more sinister than many adventurers! More cunning than the devil
”Crazy spirit?”
The tall soldier was in a good shape.
Seeing that the gold owner was interested in this topic, the adventurer immediately opened the conversation box:
”that's right! Crazy spirit
”Well, my Lord, you must have heard of the underground world war two years ago? And the war of faith between elves and orcs this spring
”Just the elves!”
”These elves are very special. They fight like madmen. They are very contradictory and loose. They seem to have special discipline. It is very difficult to kill them. Moreover, I heard the rumor that they can sell their souls to the God of death after their death and revive again! Do you say it's terrible or not? ”
”By the way The efficiency of these elves is terrible... ”
”Do you know, my lord? Winterside is the spirit city near the ruins, two months! There was nothing two months ago! They built it in two months! What's more, it's still equipped with magic defense barrier. It's hard to fight down. Do you think it's terrible
The soldier listened and nodded”It's terrible, and I've heard that they're a lot of them, like they're coming out of nowhere in the forest of elves.”
”Yes
The adventurer nodded heavily.
After nodding his head, he looked around again and said in a low voice:
”my Lord, you mentioned that there are a lot of these elves, just like they come out of thin air. So Do you know how these elves came from? ”
”Well?”
Hearing this, the tall soldier looked at the adventurer with a playful expression:
”listen to what you mean You know? ”
”Hey! adult! This matter, others do not know, but just I know! That's what I overheard before I fought with those elves in the ruins. ”
Said the adventurer excitedly.
Then, in a subdued voice, he said:
”my Lord, you don't know The reason why these elves appear overnight is that they do not belong to our world at all
”It doesn't belong to our world?”
The tall soldier squinted.
”Yes
The adventurer nodded and continued:
”my Lord, this is the truth that I have learned from various channels and combined with the words I overheard. This is the only one...”
He said this, looked around again, and then winked at the soldier.
The soldier knew it clearly and motioned to the orc behind him.
The orc snorted coldly and threw a gold coin to the adventurer again.
The adventurer, with a look of joy, quickly accepted it and said, ”thank you, sir! Thank you, my Lord! How generous of you, my Lord! Then I will tell you all I know! ”
Then he lowered his voice again:
”my Lord, this is the news I learned from the underground world. The forest of elves actually has a hidden half plane! A half plane that lives a lot of people
”Half plane?”
The soldier is slightly a Leng, but seem to think of what, in the expression of a brush a silk clear.
It's just that the expression changes too naturally, but it's a little weird.
”And then? What does this have to do with elves? ”
He asked.
”It's a big deal!”
The adventurer patted his thigh.
He cleared his throat and continued:
