Chapter 373: Wolf King
On May 28th, Rody and Akasha, who had been flying in the sky for a long time, finally began to circle and land.
Although the distance was not far, it was an indescribable journey for Akasha—but because she was blindfolded, she didn't scream out because of the nearly thousand-meter drop under her feet. After landing on the ground, her mind was more reminiscent of the heartbeat feeling when she was hugged by Rody, but she didn't have the so-called "fear" of this journey.
The Kodak Duck finally got the hang of it after several landings. Standing on the open space in the middle of Elsa Village with both feet, it no longer looked embarrassed every time it landed. The frightened elves poked their heads out from behind the trees—and to Roddy's satisfaction, he also noticed the guards holding daggers and preparing to fight, and the guards holding short bows and standing on the guard tower aiming at this side. wood elf hunter.
After taking off the fur coat, Rody turned around and saw Nata rushing over from a tree in the distance. Her movements seemed a little excited, but when she came around Rody, her face returned to the previous one. Vice Wannian looked cold, his eyes moved away slightly after meeting for a moment, as if all emotions were hidden behind his back.
"Is Soderol here?"
Rody didn't exchange pleasantries, but just asked. Seeing Nata nodding in affirmation, he waved his hand and walked forward without stopping: "Go and call him and Henry, I'll wait for them at Brody's—"
"Akasha, follow me."
Kodak flapped its wings and flew away under his command. Rody glanced at the location of Nokia in the control bar of [Magic Pet]—the "map" showed that the latter was one kilometer away from him now.
Apparently, the snapping turtle was hunting in the river not far away. Rody clicked on the "Summon" option, and then walked towards the village chief's wooden house.
The open space that was once full of weeds has now turned into compacted land. Looking around, everything in Elsa Village is developing towards the prosperity in memory, but now the pattern here is bigger, more tidy, The planning is more reasonable... Within two years, this village is destined to become a large-scale town, and it can even develop into a small "city" within ten years.
The countless business opportunities and wealth contained in the forest are enough to cause earth-shaking changes here, but all of these are long-term investments. At this time, Rody only considers the difficult problem of "how to get 30 charged crystals as soon as possible".
All the way to the villa that was completely different from the tree hole, Rody knocked on the door, and saw Brody who had been waiting here for a long time, and after waiting for three minutes, Soderol, Henry and Nata came They rushed over one after another.
Soderol, who had been on "vacation" for a long time, looked very good. His silver armor and long sword were almost idols in the eyes of many girls. Henry next to him became fatter than before—he didn't wear mercenary battle armor, On the contrary, he was dressed in a luxurious robe, which looked exactly like a wealthy merchant.
Akasha's face was slightly pale, and she still had some sequelae of riding a flying mount. Only Nata was still wearing the black and red leather armor, standing silently in the shadows.
After experiencing the Battle of Brill Forest, his team has recovered a lot from exhaustion, but Roddy also discovered an amazing fact: Soderol and Nata have actually improved by one level during this period of time.
This is by no means an easy task, obviously they are not simply "vacation", but have never stopped training themselves
Glancing around, Rody stopped talking nonsense, and directly unfolded the map brought from Elson City, explaining the next task arrangement:
"I have already explained the purpose of calling everyone here, but every ruin may encounter some powerful creatures, so we have to be prepared to fight..."
"Akasha, you are the key to this battle. Don't leave the team for a moment in the forest. This is my request."
"I know... I know."
"Soderol, choose twenty soldiers with the strongest melee capabilities to go with the team, and at the same time pick fifty engineers to follow behind."
The lord of Paarland answered briefly and forcefully, and he was obviously prepared long ago.
"Henry, how are the potions and scrolls prepared?"
"It's all ready. My lord, the magic scrolls and potions purchased from several mage towers in the south of the kingdom just happened to be delivered. The medicinal materials harvested before have been made into new potions in the alchemist's guild. Some of them may be needed by you."
"I'll wait and see," Rody nodded, and then turned to the side: "Chairman Brody, I need ten hunters to ensure the safety of the team."
"No problem." The old village chief nodded happily, and then asked, "Do we only need ten people?"
"Excellent wood elf hunters can help us avoid many dangers, but we should try our best to leave things related to combat to us humans."
What he said made Brody nod secretly. After all, there were not many people in the wood elves, and ten hunters was really not a small number.
After the plan was roughly finalized, Rody continued to make arrangements: "The Duke of Angmar will send a transport team here to stand by within two days. Once enough crystals are found, they will head to Elson City as soon as possible. transportation."
"During this time, Henry must ensure the order and logistics of Elsa Village."
"Guaranteed to get the job done"
The fat man wanted to stand at attention, but his belly was very high, but he paused and asked, "But Mr. Luo Di, on the transportation route..."
"The duke said hello, and all the villages, towns and cities from here to Erson are ready."
One and a half months seems to be a long time, but the road from Elsa Village to Elson City is not close, even if it is fast, it will take at least five days. Luo Di is very clear that even if his status is rising rapidly and his fame is getting bigger and bigger, he still has to ask for help at this time. "Insufficient background" is indeed a true portrayal of himself at present
And his non-stop efforts are to let himself finally get rid of this passivity at the "national" level.
"Gather at noon, let's go get ready now." Rody said while touching his wrist. In this era, the timing method is primitive and the error is huge. It is almost impossible to "unify time and action", so every At that time, he especially missed his Casio digital watch...
However, none of the other people in the house are time travelers, and they have long been accustomed to this way of counting time. After exchanging a few words with each other, they dispersed, leaving only the village head and Luo Di in the house.
"How is the situation in the village recently?"
Roddy exhaled, then sat on the wooden chair and asked casually.
"Everything is being transformed according to your original idea, and the currency has begun to circulate. There have been no casualties in the village this year, and hunters don't have to take risks to hunt large animals. This often means that the population can recover a little bit for us. "
Brody thought for a while, and continued: "Speaking of population... The marriage you proposed last time, I think it is very feasible after careful consideration, but after asking some young men, I think it is a little bit reluctant to let them voluntarily—are you Isn't it... can you set an example?"
Luo Di's expression froze, and Nata's beautiful but cold face inexplicably appeared in front of his eyes, but then he shook his head and replied with a wry smile: "When I finish my work, I will find you a suitable candidate. These days I probably don't have the energy to care about anything else."
"Well, it's important to be serious. That's right... The old guy from Zara Village came to the village again, saying that he wanted to borrow the books of the high elves. I didn't agree and let him go."
"Ted? Didn't he come here recently?"
Rody was a little puzzled, but then he didn't take it seriously, "Maybe he's just jealous of Elsa's harvest."
Brody just mentioned it casually, and quickly forgot about the village head who behaved a little strangely, and continued: "I see that your plan is going to go far, and there are some dangerous monsters in the forest, I want to tell you in advance Now, there are some things that are much more powerful than the Bone Armored Elephant..."
He pointed to the vicinity of a target on the map, and said in a low voice, "For example, here, in the area of Gela Waterfall, there is always a pack of silver-maned wolves entrenched..."
The old man began to talk in a low voice about the dangerous monsters he had faced when he was young, but he didn't know that at this moment, the village chief "Ted" who had been walking alone since leaving Elsa Village, had just stepped from the side of the "Gra Waterfall" walk by.
Wearing a simple robe, his footsteps are consistent. The rugged and dense forest seems to be peaceful in front of him. When walking, he doesn't even look at his feet. Instead, he looks straight ahead, as if to Like penetrating the dense forest.
As he walked forward, some square stones gradually appeared on the ground. If you carefully identify them, you can find that these stones have traces of artificial carvings—but "Ted" did not stop to identify the direction, but looked for it. Once I found a place, I walked faster and faster.
There are more and more stones around, and there are even standing stone tablets. It is obvious that "Ted" is walking towards the center of a high elf relic with great precision...
However, after continuing to walk for tens of meters, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, with a slight look of disappointment on his calm expression.
He bent down and stretched out his hand to remove a stone slab, but what appeared in front of him were countless sparkling... spar fragments.
Obviously, the ruins had exploded, and there wasn't much left of what he wanted.
Sighing softly, he turned and left without hesitation, and then found himself surrounded by seven or eight steel-maned wild wolves the size of calves.
The situation seemed to be extremely critical, but as the faint purple halo flickered in his eyes, the astonishing aura he released suddenly made the wolves tremble and whimper
The wolf king, which was about the size of a lion, yelped like a lost dog and lay down on the ground with a "woo hoo", even the urge to escape disappeared.
"Da da."
The sound of footsteps echoed in the ruins, and Ted walked straight to the next location without looking at the wolf king who was only a few meters away from him.
There is no pride, no contempt, or even any emotion in his eyes, only boundless peace.
