The caravan had entered the Limhai a few days earlier, and special flags were hoisted on each wagon.
These special flags were issued by the Senate of the Holy City of Babylon as a special merchant's pass.
In the past, with the agreement reached between the Holy City of Babylon and the various races in the Realm of Chaos, whether it is the elves, the mountain giants, or the hill dwarves, these alien races will not attack the human caravans flying the flags according to the agreement.
However, the Great Chaos Territory was several times larger than the Wildfire Plain in terms of area, and with such a large area, it was impossible for the prestige of the Holy City to shine to every corner after all.
There are always some races that do not deal with the Holy City, and they have not reached a contract with the Holy City.
For example, it is recognized that the most hated race in the forest sea: the black elves, which are commonly known as the fallen elves.
These mutated elves are the biggest outliers in the forest sea, they not only hate each other with the elves, but even the dwarves and giants are not at peace with them.
These black elves are in the middle of the forest, attacking any race they encounter, and human caravans are especially their targets.
As early as the time they entered the Realm of Chaos, the caravanserais' escort mercenaries were already in good spirits.
Human caravans have always been fat in the eyes of the black elves.
According to legend, the Dark Elves were originally a branch of the Elven race, and these Elves later degenerated, reneged on their faith, and no longer believed in the elven gods, and were born with the surname Silver Filth, greedy, and cunning and cruel.
By turning their backs on the Elven faith, they lost their racial talent: natural magic.
But it has become more and more cunning and brutal, these mutant elves who believe in darkness are even said to be better at bows and arrows than ordinary elves, and fighting in the woods, especially at night, is even more of a headache.
It's just that I didn't expect that it was only a few days after entering the forest sea, and according to the map, it was still thousands of kilometers away from the place where the dark elves haunted, and I met these terrible and nasty guys.
Along the way, such an attack is already the third time.
It was clear that the caravan had been targeted by a certain tribe of dark elves lurking nearby.
"Hell, this should be a safe area, whether it is a dwarf or a giant race, the elves will not appear here near the edge of the forest sea, where did these black bandits come from" The merchant under the carriage kept cursing, and Char shot another black elf hiding in the woods, turned over and jumped out of the carriage, picked up an axe left by the dead mercenary, and then rushed out with his waist as fast as he could, his figure was like a bolt of lightning, and quickly rushed into the woods A moment later, there was a sudden burst of screams and exclamations in the woods, and from time to time a few red rays of light appeared, and after the red light flashed, there were immediately whistles around it, and then the robbers in the woods began to disperse.
A moment later, in the quiet convoy, the mercenaries nervously put down their bows and arrows, but tightened their swords more and more.
In the woods ahead, Char's figure slowly appeared and walked back step by step.
The clothes on the turtle's body were already stained red with blood, and his face was full of murderous aura.
The axe in his hand was long gone, but he dragged a few half-dead guys in each hand.
Several black elves were grabbed by his hair and dragged out on the ground like this, obviously losing the ability to resist, but they were grabbed by Char's hair and dragged along, screaming in pain one by one.
Char walked back in awe of the surrounding gazes, and the mercenaries and the people in the caravan all had fearful expressions on their faces.
"Who speaks the language of these damn fellows" Char grabbed the four black elves and threw them on the ground, one of them tried to get up, but Char walked up and stepped on the thigh.
The turtle shot very ruthlessly, and stomped off the thigh of the unlucky black elf with one kick, and suddenly there was a terrible scream.
"No one speaks their language" Char looked at the trembling guys around him, frowned and muttered, "Unlucky." ” It seems that he had to interrogate him personally.
Char grabbed the black elf who had broken his thigh by himself, pinched the other party's neck, and lifted it up, to be precise, "she".
This is obviously a dark elf with a female surname, the unique beauty of the elf clan seems to still exist in the body of the dark elf clan, this unlucky dark elf has a very charming face, and the bumpy figure is simply wrapped in a simple short leather jacket, after the fight, the leather jacket on the original upper body has been torn, and after being lifted by Char, a pair of tall and full twin peaks on the chest are exposed to the air.
"If you can speak a human language, it's best to speak now."
Char didn't have the slightest sense of pity for the jade, and stared coldly into the eyes of the female elf in his hand: "I'm a very impatient person. ” There was only rebelliousness and resentment in the eyes of this female elf, and she gritted her teeth in her mouth and said a word fiercely, Char couldn't understand a word.
"Obviously, you don't know human language."
Char was too lazy to waste time, and with a clench, he twisted her neck and threw her seductive and hot body on the ground at will.
He walked over and grabbed the other one, but this time it was a very sturdy man surnamed Black Elf, these guys had dark skin all over their bodies, and they also painted all kinds of strange patterns with oil paint of unknown materials.
Char just grabbed that guy, and the oil paint on the other party's skin suddenly burst into a ball of light, and Char immediately felt a heat on the palm of his hand.
"Huh magic" Char laughed, in terms of his strength, this level of magic is not even an itch, he directly slapped it, and lost most of the teeth in the mouth of this elf, looking at the magic lines on the other party's chest, he directly reached out and grabbed it, and suddenly the flesh and blood were blurred.
"The magic is over."
Char looked at the dim light on the other party's body, and said coldly: "I still only ask once, do you know our language" The other party closed his mouth and stared at Char fiercely.
"Well, it looks like you won't either."
Char was about to clench his neck, and at this moment, the two remaining dark elves lying on the ground suddenly exclaimed, and one of the female surnamed screamed even more.
Although it was only a short pronunciation, it was clear that she was speaking in human language.
"Don't" syllable Char let go of the guy in his hand, and looked at the dark elf surnamed the human speaker on the ground with a cruel smile: "Oh, I finally found someone who can speak human words." ” "You're in luck."
Hasting, who was sitting in the carport, shrugged his shoulders.
"Bah, Laozi, this is wisdom, do you understand."
Char and Hesting argued: "You didn't see this guy I caught, the lines on his body are different from other guys, obviously more complicated, indicating that his identity is not ordinary."
Maybe it's a boss or something, maybe he can speak human words, or use him to coerce other guys who can talk to people, it's a good choice. ” "It's just the wisdom of the turtle."

Hastinge was still stiff-mouthed.
"Okay."
Char walked up to the black elf and grabbed her: "Now you answer my question, if you answer a sentence wrong, even a word, I will cut off one of his arms."
Char pointed to the male elf on the ground, "So, you'd better not make me angry." ” The female elf's face was painful, and her eyes were full of resentment, but she looked at a female companion who died on the ground, and then looked at the male leader who was thrown on the ground by Char, and finally suppressed the resentment in her eyes and lowered her head: "Okay, you ask" "Why are you attacking us?"
aaa Char's first question made the female elf hesitate for a moment, and then her answer made Char a little depressed.
"Why do wolves eat sheep and goshawks, why do they catch sparrows," the female elf said coldly, "We are the masters here, and we hunt the prey that intrudes on our territory."
It's as simple as that. ” "Human speech is slippery."
Char smiled: "But you're going around in circles with me, so you answered wrong" Xia Ya smiled coldly, and waved his palm lightly at the male black elf on the ground, and after a miserable scream, the right arm of the male surnamed black elf had already flown out, and blood sprayed out, mixed with the screams The female elf immediately screamed and scolded, but Char didn't wait for her to scold at all, and directly slapped her out of a few teeth.
"Don't play dumb with me, you shouldn't be here, in fact this is not your black elf's territory, why did you come here to attack us that's my problem, so, if you continue to play dumb with me, then" "Stop" The female elf gave in, she looked at Char's hand raised again, and hurriedly said: "Don't hurt him, I answer all your questions" Char's eyes rolled: "The second question is who he is, you all seem to be nervous about him." ” The female elf hesitated for a moment, but finally did not dare to lie: "He is the noble leader of our clan, the warrior, and the son of the clan chief. ” "Oh, looks like I caught a big fish."
Char laughed.
"Stupid."
Hesting interjected on the side, striking Char: "The black elves are surnamed Yin, their patriarchs are generally female surnames, and there will be many descendants, and the one you catch may only be one of the most inconspicuous." ” Char snorted, ignoring Hesting, but looked at the female elf in his hand: "The patriarch's son said that he is very important" "If he dies, we will die, and so will our relatives in the tribe."
The elf hung her head: "This is our tradition, and I belong to his subordinates. ” "Very good, then it means that he still has some use value."
Char said coldly: "Now, to answer my first question just now, why did you appear here and attack us" "Because" The female elf finally stopped resisting and gave Char the answer directly: "Our original territory has been robbed.
A few months ago, the holy city of Babylon sent out a samurai regiment into the realm of chaos to hunt down our dark elf tribe, we were no match for their samurai bands, we could only keep moving, we migrated several times, and they drove farther and farther away, so we could only come here. ” "The samurai hunt you dark elves" Char heard something unusual, and he immediately grasped the key to it: "Did this kind of thing happen often before?"
"Of course not."
The dark elves seem to be very jealous of the holy city of Babylon: "The warriors of the holy city are very powerful, if they always hunt us, we would have no place to stand.
This kind of hunting seems to be a ritual of the warriors in Babylon, and only when something important happens, they will send excellent warriors into the forest to hunt powerful prey, and through this ritual, the best warriors will finally be selected. ” "Pick out the best samurai and do something" "I don't know.
There are several such cases.
The female elf replied slowly: "Sometimes it is because the old city lord is dead, and the new city lord is elected."
Sometimes it's to select good guardian warriors.
But this time it didn't seem to make sense, and we captured a Babylonian warrior while resisting, and we knew from his mouth that the Holy City was going on a selection of the best young male warriors, and said yes, yes" "What is it?"
"I heard that they are about to have a new city lord, who is a female surname.
And select an excellent male samurai to be the husband of the city lord, so as to give birth to the best and most powerful offspring. ” Char froze.
Then he scolded: "Damn" The husband of the new city owner Mahler's next door He immediately threw the female elf on the ground, picked up a sword and was about to stab him, when finally someone next to him couldn't help but shout: "Wait, wait a minute" "Hmm" Char turned around, and saw a middle-aged man in the caravan walking out tremblingly: "This, this master, that" "Say" The middle-aged man took a deep breath: "It's a waste to kill them, you see, we also killed a few excellent mercenaries in battle, and we also have to pay a large amount of pensions, these prisoners can just make up for our losses" "These guys, are they worth a lot of money," Char blurted out, and then realized that he had made a fool.
Elves, especially the Dark Elves, have always been the favorite and most expensive commodity for human traffickers in the Empire.
Hunting authentic elves will also carry the danger of being retaliated by the elves, and they will also lose the qualification to enter Babylon to trade, you know, along the way into Babylon, the realm of chaos is the territory of elven life.
But hunting dark elves is more cost-effective.
These guys are considered traitors by the Elves, and hunting them will not offend the Elves.
And the dark elves still have elven blood, and these guys have beautiful appearances for both men and women.
Especially the young female surnamed Dark Elf, with a hot and attractive body, beautiful appearance, and a birth surname Yindang, is a dream gift for many powerful and wealthy people in the empire.
Because the dark elves are also brutal and dangerous, the cost of catching this prey is also extremely high, so a dark elf slave, especially a female dark elf slave, can be sold in the market for an almost sky-high price.
"You want these guys" Char changed his words, looking at the middle-aged man.
He recognized the middle-aged man as a leader of the caravan.
"Yes" "Very well, you can make a price."
Char looked at the other party's stunned look, and said coldly: "You don't think I should give them to you for nothing, these guys are all caught by me, and they have nothing to do with you." ” Although they are companions, Char instinctively has a little disgust with this human trafficking trade.
"So, what price do you want, we can discuss" "I don't want money."
Char immediately said, "But I need someone, someone who knows to reach Babylon City from here, I need a guide." ” Char's words stunned everyone.
"Yes, you heard it right, I need a guide because from now on, we're going our separate ways."
Char said coldly: "If anyone knows the road, you can sign up by yourself, and I promise to give him 10,000 gold coins as a reward afterwards."
When this price was opened, many people took a deep breath.
It was tempting, but no one spoke immediately.
After all, although there were many people in the caravan, there were not many guides who knew the way.
This kind of golden trade route is only in the hands of a few large merchant groups in the empire, and the guides who recognize the road are all people from the inner circle of the large merchant groups.
Although 10,000 gold coins is tempting, if you follow the caravan to Babylon, the income is not much higher.

Besides, people instinctively feel safer with a lot of people.
Although Char is brave, it still seems very dangerous to go on the road alone with him, in this vast forest sea.
After a moment of silence, a voice finally sounded.
"I, I do."
A person under the wheel slowly got out, patted the dust on his body, and had a resolute expression: "This lord, I am willing to go with you, I know the way." ” Char recognized this death-fearing ghost who was hiding under the wheels during the battle just now, and smiled: "Are you sure you know the way" "Of course."
The guy immediately exclaimed, "I recognize, this is the third time I've walked this path."
You see, in the battle just now, all the men I brought with me died, and the mercenaries failed to protect us, so I am willing to go with you. ” "Very well, that's you."
Char nodded, and then pointed to a few elves on the ground: "These guys are also yours, you can sell them to others now, and how much you sell is your own business." ” "Thank you" The guy's eyes immediately lit up, and he walked into the crowd, and after a few moments of conversation with the leaders of the caravan, the two sides signed a contract.
To Char's surprise, except for the one he killed, the other guys sold a total of 40,000 gold coins Although it is impossible to carry so many gold coins with him, with the signed contract, as long as this guy can return to the empire, he can take the contract to the merchant group to cash the gold coins.
Char had three more horses to go.
The three of them left the convoy on the road and sped up towards the depths of the forest sea.
When the caravan behind him was no longer in sight, Xia Ya looked at the guide on the horse next to him, this guy has good riding skills, obviously the guy who walks outside and does business all the year round seems to have some ability.
"You don't seem to be as brave as you seem."
Char smiled: "You actually dare to leave the brigade and follow me alone." ” "Phew, those guys are idiots."
The guide then raised his face at Char, with a flattering smile: "This master, I am very bold, but I at least have a little wisdom, although there are many of them, but following them must be a dead end, only by following the master can you live." ” "Oh," Char smiled playfully.
"Of course," the guide said with a flattering smile, "The caravan has been targeted by that black elf tribe, they have suffered a big loss, they will definitely not stop, and they will definitely attack again."
There is no brave and invincible lord you are in charge, the people of that caravan are being targeted by a black elf tribe in this vast forest, they may not have a chance to go to Babylon alive to testify, maybe they will go for two more days at most, and they will have to go back to the house, only by following you, master, is the safest."
Char couldn't help but look at this guy a few more times, and sighed: "Speaking of which, I suddenly found that you are very similar to a guy I know."
"Oh, I'm so honored, I can be a little similar to your noble lord, your distinguished friend" Char touched his nose and nodded, his tone was very serious: "You are just as obscene, the same cunning and the same shameless" After speaking, he looked at the shameless and cunning guide: "Don't worry, you have made the wisest choice in your life, follow me, and you will reach Babylon alive and safe." ” Hesting, who was next to him, finally interjected again: "Char, you seem to have forgotten something. ” "What" "Pass."
Hesting said lightly: "Without a pass certificate, along the way, all the races in the forest will see us as intruders, elves, dwarves, giants and other messy guys who don't know anything." ” "Lao Tzu can't control so much" Char whipped the horse viciously: "Whoever stops me, I will let go and kill people" Damn, dare to pick a husband for Nene It is certain that even if a giant dragon stops in front of it now, the angry turtle will bravely stomp it flat Neen, Neen, Neen Hell Lao Tzu is the man inside Lao Tzu is the "uncle" of those horse thieves To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
