Chapter 786 Package Swapping (4)
Before entering the Elf Forest, I pretended to be chatting with the leader of the goblin assistance team, but in fact I was observing the movements around me.
Instead of leaving directly, we entered the Elf Forest with me. I guessed that some of the elders must have doubts about our behavior.
In this case, being followed is the most likely thing to happen.
But in the face of those who follow me, I cannot use extreme means to eradicate them. Firstly, it will expose my thoughts and my future actions may be hindered. Secondly, once they attract their attention, what happened to the Elf Queen in my house will be revealed. It will be easily exposed, and what will follow will be a thorough investigation of the identity of the fake queen.
Once I get to this point, the foundation I laid so hard in Moonlight City will be in vain.
Therefore, at this time, I have to be more stable.
Since they want to follow, let them follow. Anyway, the skin of the goblins is light green, and they are thin and small. In such a huge forest of elves, they can't find a place to hide their figures?
As for me, hehe, with all due respect, none of the members of the assassination team who were sent to track or hunt me down seem to be able to keep up with my speed.
Even if their speed can keep up with mine, their ability to conceal themselves in actual combat may not be stronger than mine.
One was trained, the other was tempered in life and death. When the two met, they made a judgment.
As expected, when we were still five minutes away from the Elf Forest, there were at least four people following us behind us.
The strength of these four people cannot be evaluated yet, but their tracking skills are exactly the same as those of the guys I dealt with before.
With a sneer, I lowered my voice and said to the leader: "Someone is following us behind us. If we are not mistaken, it is probably a spy sent by the elders who do not trust us. They want to find out our intention of entering the forest."
"What should we do?" The goblin leader remained calm, and even his expression and demeanor did not change at all, but the tone of his words revealed his slightly panicked heart.
It's no wonder that he panicked. After all, goblins are a race that is not good at fighting. Once those guys attack them, they will most likely be subdued as soon as possible.
"Don't panic, it's okay." I calmed his mind and sneered: "You will enter the forest in a while, and follow my instructions. I will make these spies lose everything in the bamboo basket."
I didn't directly tell the team leader, 'These people may not be so-called spies, but simply a group of captive assassins.' The reason was to prevent the goblins from getting into trouble.
As long as our position remains stable, the guys following us won't be able to tell whether we already know their whereabouts.
As long as I don't alert the snakes before entering the depths of the Elf Forest, I will trick them and play tricks on them after they get deep into the Elf Forest.
Stepping into the Elf Forest, there were two more people following behind me. I remained calm, whistling and leading the way.
After walking for almost half a minute, I turned around and began to introduce the scenery and species in this forest to the goblins.
"This is an oak tree." I pointed to the thick tree on the side and said, "It's quite thick and big. It's not quite the same as the one in Fort Vicky, right?"
The goblins nodded.
"Actually, it's no wonder. Our soil environment in Fort Vicky is very different from Moonlight City. Even if you throw an apple seed casually in this forest, a strong apple tree will probably grow in the near future." I He pursed his lips, nodded and looked around, and said: "So, there is a good basis for the Elf Forest to be called one of the most magical places in Zephyr Continent."
"Is it related to the soil?" one of the goblins asked.
"Well, you asked a very good question. To be honest, I don't understand this kind of scientific issue at all. However, in my understanding, soil should occupy an important place, but I think it should not only It’s just a simple factor like soil, maybe there are some other more special reasons in it.”
"Is it magic?" Another goblin asked impatiently.
The team leader turned his head and said to him: "Don't forget, we all believe in science and we must speak from a scientific perspective!"
I waved my hand and said to the team leader: "I admire your firm belief in science, but I want to say that magic is actually one of the unique elements of this world. We should not give up on science. Other forces in the world should also know more about things we don’t know.”
"Thank you for your kindness and tolerance. You are right, Lord An Xiaoyi. I will remember it," the goblin leader said.
After that, I said to the goblin who proposed the 'magic' conjecture: "Your conjecture is very valuable and unique. This elven forest can support so many species. There must be something extraordinary about it. Maybe it's because Soil, maybe it’s because of magic, in short, it’s very fascinating, what do you think?”
"Yes, that's true," the goblin leader said.
The other goblins were also looking around, keeping their expressions of excitement.
This excitement is not pretended to show me, but real excitement, like a frog hiding at the bottom of a well all year round, one day suddenly jumping out of the well mouth and seeing the vast world.
I have my own intentions in chatting with the goblins.
This can not only dispel the tension of the goblins, but also detect the stalker's intentions.
Just when we stopped and looked around, the trackers also stopped. They were almost twenty meters away from us. This distance was clearly visible on the wide flat land, but it was different in the dense forest.
The dense vegetation between us is the biggest obstacle to blocking the view, and there are also some small animals that strut past from time to time, which can also act as a warning.
In short, more than twenty meters is considered a limit.
After walking and chatting with the goblins, we gradually entered the depths of the Elf Forest before long.
From here, my package swap plan begins.
The goblin merchants who had been arranged here had already changed into the clothes of the goblin assistance team and were hiding in the forest to wait.
The locations where they hide are all specially arranged by me. There are no specific marks, and there are many obstacles around them, which can completely confuse the audience.
Moreover, I had previously communicated with the Forest King of the Elf Forest through Remy, and the Forest King agreed to cooperate with my plan and help me attract the attention of the stalker who was only assumed to be possible at the time.
Therefore, there will be subsequent appearances of small animals strutting in the forest from time to time.
