Chapter 589: Strategic Transfer (4000 Words)

Joshua still underestimated the ice dragon's flying speed that didn't conform to the biological norm.

From Nolan to the Frost Country, and then to the dark green basin on the border of the Frost Country, this ice dragon completed the journey that would take an ordinary person half a year in just three days.

"I give a five-star rating for this Didi Dragon ride."

When Katalian landed on the outskirts of the dark green basin, Joshua made a due evaluation of the journey.

"I've heard enough of your strange words."

Katalian shook his back, motioning for Joshua and Ciri to get away from its back.

Joshua jumped off Katalian's dragon and landed firmly on the grass in this basin.

With the Chaos Demon's physical fitness, Qiao Xiu could easily jump off the back of a dragon nearly four stories high.

Ciri is a relatively common application method for spellcasters who use the order system, that is, use a magic barrier to build a temporary ladder, and then walk down the dragon's back step by step.

"What about the cities of the elves?"

As soon as Shirley landed on the ground, he glanced left and right, and then raised his head to glance at the sky.

Because of the arrival of the ice dragon Catalian, all the monsters living in this basin disappeared, and the surrounding silence was terrifying.

There was nothing floating in the sky. When Ciri was sitting on the ice dragon, she was still eager to find the legendary city.

But nothing could be seen even above the clouds.

"There may be some kind of invisibility magic."

Qiao Xiu took out the token of the World Tree, which had reacted after entering the dark green basin.

"I forgot how to use it." Joshua handed the token to Shirley, "Shirley, try injecting magic power into it first."

Ciri took the token and poured her magic power into it as Joshua said.

The light on the token became brighter, and Qiao Xiu put his hand on it, and carefully poured the magic power of the Chaos Demon into it.

A pure white beam of light appeared beside Qiao Xiu.

"This thing is... a portal?"

Ciri found a stone on the ground and threw it into the beam of light, and the stone disappeared into the beam of light in an instant.

'The pilot beam won't last long. '

Suddenly a translucent white bird appeared on Ciri's shoulder. This white bird was the consciousness of the World Tree of the High Elves.

It tilted its head and glanced at Katalian behind Ciri.

"Ma'am first?" Qiao Xiu made a gesture of invitation.

"Spatial teleportation, uh... Sure enough, I still can't adapt to this kind of magic."

But Xili actually showed a little fear in the face of this beam of light.

This spellcaster is a woman who can fight bears with bare hands, but the consecutive "space teleportation" during the Demon World left a psychological shadow on Ciri.

"Okay, hold my hand."

Joshua held Ciri's cold hand, and led Xili into the beam of light.

The sense of weightlessness swept over Qiao Xiu. After just three seconds, Qiao Xiu opened his eyes again, and the scenery in front of him changed from a swamp to...a city that had been turned into ruins.

"This is Arthur Crowe?"

Qiao Xiu looked around. The surrounding buildings looked familiar to Qiao Xiu, but these buildings had already turned into decayed ruins, and even the ground was covered with dust. It didn't look like anyone lived in them.

This is a street that has been dead for a long time, and only its ruins remain here.

Qiao Xiu raised his head, and there was a huge dome above. The sunlight shone through the cracks in the dome, as if telling Qiao Xiu that this place was not far from the ground.

"Ace Crowe, isn't this Nolan's underground ruins?"

Shirley looked around, and the architectural style here was almost exactly the same as the ruins in Nolan's underground.

"So where are the people who welcome us?"

Joshua didn't even see a wild high elf, but felt a powerful magic barrier outside the street.

Just as Joshua was looking for the welcomer, Ciri, who had a beast-like intuition, suddenly noticed something.

"who?"

Ciri raised his staff high, and the brilliance of the phantom inscription surrounded the staff. In the next second, the ruins were illuminated by strong light, and the dark figure hiding in the corner of the ruins slowly walked out.

"It seems that you are not the one to welcome." Joshua looked at the person in front of him. The robe on his body was very similar to that of Nolan's caster, but his appearance could not be seen clearly with a mask on his face, but he was wearing the robe The insignia tattooed on his shoulder gave away his identity.

An insignia that can only be found on the robes of the Seven Sages of Nolan.

Qiao Xiu heard that there are only five sages in Nolan at present, and the men in black and blue have not shown up in the council of sages for a long time.

Whether he is the man in black has nothing to do with Joshua, Joshua just wants to know where the high elves live.

"Humans from Nolan? There is also a...blasphemer, why do you appear here!"

His eyes under the mask scanned Joshua and Ciri, and finally settled on Joshua's body, his pupils shrank slightly.

"What's a strange name for a blasphemer? My name is Joshua Arnold, and I'm a guest invited by the consciousness of the World Tree." Joshua introduced himself.

"It is impossible for the holy tree to accept a..."

Before he finished speaking, a white bird landed on Qiao Xiu's shoulder. At this moment, he closed his mouth instantly, looking at Qiao Xiu as if he had seen a ghost.

"Excuse me, are you a local? If so, can you take me to the gathering place of the high elves? I have something to talk to them about."

Qiao Xiu tentatively communicated with the man in black. This time, Qiao Xiu came here purely for the air mobile ifi. Of course, he would also create a few high elf idols. Qiao Xiu was quite happy.

"The place you are in is a forgotten place, which means that you have been rejected by the Council of Elders," he said.

"Refused?" If Qiao Xiu remembered correctly, he should be regarded as a guest of the World Tree.

He answered Qiao Xiu's question in a more intuitive way. The silver inscription appeared in his hand, and a reflected image appeared in front of Qiao Xiu's eyes.

"The Council of Elders will not allow the blasphemers to step into this city again. It may be because they are sheltered by the holy tree that they did not choose to kill you." The image he summoned was the forest outside the ruins.

Qiao Xiu could see a group of high elves waiting outside. Judging from their equipment, they didn't seem to be here to welcome Qiao Xiu as a guest.

"We...seem to be the boss of the dungeon?" Ciri whispered to Joshua.

"It seems that they are completely treated as enemies. I thought all elves were a group of cat slaves..." Qiao Xiu didn't expect that he had the protection of the holy tree, and these high elves didn't give Qiao Xiu any face at all.

"It's a bird standing on your shoulder." Shirley reminded Joshua again.

"..."

"For the high elves, the sacred tree is just our symbiote."

The man in black glanced at the white bird standing on Joshua's shoulder, and slightly bowed towards it to perform a strange etiquette.

"I don't know why the sacred tree invited you to Arthur Crowe, but please leave this city as soon as possible, some elders will execute any blasphemer mercilessly." The man in black persuaded Josh said.

"Go back? Do you mean I was sent pigeons by the high elves? Or was I pointed at by a group of pigeons with bows?"

Qiao Xiu didn't expect the attitude of these elves to be so bad.

The man in black didn't pay attention to Qiao Xiu's words. He came straight to the center of the street, in front of a building that looked like an altar, and brushed the dust off one of the discs with his hand.

"This is the teleportation array built by you blasphemers. With your magic power, you should be able to build a portal to Nolan," he said.

"Although I really want to leave this dusty place as soon as possible, my answer is still that I refuse."

"If you force yourself outside the Forgotten Land, the Council of Elders will not let you go." The man in black warned Joshua.

"Is this how you treat guests? If it's hostile... I'd be more than happy to lead the army to drag Arthur Crowe into the flames of war." Joshua said with a smile on his face.

"What did you say?"

This sentence obviously stimulated the man in black, he clenched his staff tightly, and silver inscriptions appeared around his body, but the next moment gray magic power swept across the area.

His inscription shattered into debris like glass, and even he himself held the staff with both hands as if he had difficulty breathing.

"After so many years... you guys are still so dangerous."

"I don't know much about the grievances between the high elves and our family, but this time I was invited by your sacred tree. You don't have to bring some tea to treat me, and you want to let the pigeons go."

Joshua's hands were surrounded by chaotic magic power, and he walked towards him slowly. After passing him by, he injected his own magic power into the teleportation array.

This teleportation array, which had been abandoned for an unknown number of years, was activated again.

"You mean you can connect to Nolan here?"

Joshua felt that the man in black was very... not vigilant, or was he very kind?

If there was such a teleportation array in his home, Qiao Xiu would not tell others even if he killed him.

He didn't answer Qiao Xiu. Qiao Xiu used the inscription of Lord Skeleton to summon an unconscious undead. This undead walked into the teleportation array, and it walked out of the teleportation array the next second.

After the undead shattered into pieces, the only memory it had left flooded into Joshua's memory.

Surrounded by three dumbfounded dwarves, Joshua saw Frost Axe among the three dwarves.

Was it the teleportation array leading to Frost Axe's house?

Qiao Xiu instantly closed the teleportation array... and fell into deep thought.

"What do you want to do?" The man in black seemed a little impatient, and asked Joshua in a low voice.

"If you can't treat each other with courtesy, you can only meet with swords. In short, that's what it means... Let me re-introduce, I am Joshua Anorod, the third prince of the demon world."

Qiao Xiu's dark pupils were fixed on the blue eyes under the mask of the man in black, and the arrogance borrowed from Mr. Skull spread wantonly.

"Maybe I should lead an army here, so the high elves might sit down and have a good talk with me."

When Joshua made this proposal, the man in black had a dangerous look in his eyes.

"I'll stop you," he said.

When Qiao Xiu was about to answer him, the white bird standing on Qiao Xiu's shoulder also knocked on Qiao Xiu's head with its beak.

"It hurts..." Before Qiao Xiu could scare it, the white bird hit Qiao Xiu's head again with its beak.

"Okay, okay, I'm just talking, I really don't know anything about leading troops to fight." Qiao Xiu covered the place where the white bird hit, saying that he was just joking.

"What?"

On the contrary, Ciri showed a surprised expression, it seemed that the girl was ready to go to war.

"If you really want to force your way in, at most you can force your way into the core of the World Tree, but it's impossible to 'sneak in' based on the situation outside."

Qiao Xiu didn't think that the holy tree would be happy if he forced his way through.

"Let me give you a hint, your chaotic magic power is useless to the elders." The man in black warned Joshua again.

He seemed to be trying his best to avoid this battle, but the words and actions Joshua said before were too dangerous.

"Is it impossible to prevent them from casting spells? This is a bit tricky."

Joshua was also lost in thought.

"Why don't you simply camp here for a while? Anyway, you can use the portal to return to Nolan." Ciri suggested.

"Stay for a while?"

Joshua glanced sideways at the portal leading to Nolan, and looked back at the ruined street again.

"Ciri come with me."

Qiao Xiu walked quickly towards a building on the street, Ciri followed behind Qiao Xiu, and the man in black followed.

The walls of these buildings have been covered with various plants, but the interior of the buildings is unexpectedly well preserved, except that some places have accumulated dust.

"After so many years, there is no sign of collapse. The quality of these buildings is pretty good." Joshua stretched out his hand and brushed the dust on an unknown long table.

The people who lived on this street left in a hurry and didn't take many things with them, but they seemed to have evacuated safely. Qiao Xiu checked several buildings in succession, but found no bones of anyone inside.

"What are you planning?" The man in black watched Qiao Xiu walking around like a tourist, and finally couldn't help asking again.

"Are you really Nolan's sage? It's been a long time since I've seen you so... straightforward. No, there's a high elf named Al who looks like you." Joshua said suddenly.

"Frankly? According to your human status, I am Nolan's man in black," he said.

"It's really the man in black who has been missing for three years." Joshua was slightly startled, then turned around and stretched out his hand suddenly.

He took a step back in an instant vigilantly, his magic power was still imprisoned by Qiao Xiu.

"I'm quite familiar with other sages. I'm really sorry for scaring you just now." Qiao Xiu said.

But he didn't accept Qiao Xiu's apology, and continued to follow behind Qiao Xiu without saying a word.

Finally, after Qiao Xiu had finished browsing all the abandoned buildings on the entire street, he spoke again.

"If you expect to find something useful in the Forgotten Lands, give it up. There are only ruins left here."

"I'm not looking for relics, but looking at the storefront." Joshua gestured to the largest building in front of him and said.

"Storefront?!"

"Let me introduce, my identity in Nolan is the owner of a tavern, and I plan to open a branch here." At this moment, a smile appeared on Joshua's face that made him shiver.
