Uriel didn't understand where this nickname came from. "Could it be that my mentor suggested that Croita should control the pollution?" If he hadn't read the newspaper, Uriel would never have known that pollution had been given a new meaning. Ever since the Eastman Kingdom struck a deal with the Oath Keepers to build Train 1, a series of new terms have spread to Eastman. It is said that some nobles protested at the Geological Bureau, which took over the task, and even threw rubbish on the completed railway tracks. The apprentices did not see how their approach was environmentally friendly.
I heard that the forest race had a dispute with the Oath Keepers Alliance because the existence of the alchemy factory seriously affected their lives.
"Which forest race are you talking about?"
Most of them are druids, and a few are natural elves. The Ring writes that originally the natural elves were called green elves, but they later changed their names.
I kind of understand why they do that. Uriel thought of the road with two names. "There are also people in the outside world who oppose the construction of railways. They believe that it will damage the land and prevent wheat from growing, thus causing famine."
This has nothing to do with the railway. Those people's survival will cause famine and the clinking of wine glasses. You wouldn’t imagine such ridiculous statements escalating in the occult realm. The moment ladder could not be popularized, and the emergence of railways was of great significance to mortals. As a result, Saint Valoran and the Oath Keepers Alliance were at loggerheads over the pollution that mortals might have created that could be purified with two magic spells, while no one cared about San Carlos, the city of fog that needed to be cleaned up the most.
Because the spirits do not live in heaven. The apprentice thought. He knew the situation in the City of Fog, but Saint Valoran was the mystery among the mysteries. Uriel remembered that this was a mysterious organization of the forest race. It has existed longer than the Tower of Sky, and was the last mysterious force to join the Great Alliance of St. Mirand a thousand years ago. Green elves and druids are its best-known members, but Sauron says that Saint Valoran also includes dragons.
In Binyaio, Uriel has only heard of the evil dragon Wintherspoon and the time dragon Ackroyd. Both are frequent guests in legends and ballads, but the difference is that the former is real and the latter only appears in proverbs and bedtime stories. Knox's story isn't quite the same as it was in the world, but it's the same story for mortals. The dragon of time is just a ridiculous imagination of mysterious creatures. Similar things include the gods and the kingdom of heaven, as well as the inexplicable environmental problems of the mortal kingdom.
"Where is Saint Valorin?" he couldn't help asking.
Of course the Ring said it was in the forest, and it was in Shimmering Forest. Didn't you hear what the dark wizard said before? A caravan was attacked near the forest. I bet it was those forest races that did it
"Is it a caravan from the Oath Keepers Alliance?"
uncertain. Saint Valoran is an extremely xenophobic organization. They will attack humans and all non-forest races, because before joining the Grand Alliance, Shimmer Forest was once a hunting ground and slave hunting ground for humans.
Uriel was startled. "Would anyone dare to do this? There are dragons in Saint Valoran."
This is their internal problem. Do you know why the Dragon Clan is not famous?
Where can I go? "Because they rarely appear in front of people?"
Because before joining the alliance, the nature elves and dragons were also mortal enemies.
"Then how can they coexist peacefully in Saint-Valoran... well, I can't say peacefully. How can they live together?"
When there are foreign enemies, it is nothing new to be united to the outside world. The ring told him that when the evil dragon invaded, wasn't the mysterious realm of Knox united like never before?
Uriel thought about the contradictions in Croita's foreign ministry. "Indeed."
The differences between Saint Valoran and the Oath Keepers Alliance only happened in recent years. Until then, the fog elves had no dealings with them. Elves are not easy to get along with anyway, just remember this. It's just that Saint Valorant's approach has nothing like the magnanimity of a mysterious organization, and is even more annoying.
Unexpectedly, the fulcrum of inheritance in the mysterious realm would actually fight for a stall like a street vendor. It seems that when dealing with these Heather believers, I should try to say as few words as possible, just like when I face the mist elf Earl Eranor. "Speaking of which, why did they comment so much on the White Envoy?" This question made Uriel worried.
Why don't you ask again?
So Uriel went to ask for another glass of wine. He sat back in his chair and put the ring on again. "It's San Carlos." He said, "The news of the unrest in the Mist City has spread to everyone. What I should have thought of is that the answer is really disappointing. But I want to get information from Eastman's adventurers. , is your purpose just to chat with me?"
Sauron, who had always been the one to contact me, argued.
And don't you dare harass Joey. Uriel had never seen the ring misbehaving in front of the messenger. The silver ring was specifically designed to pick people against them and would never ask for trouble. After all, maybe this guy isn't stupid after all. "I now believe that reputation in this world is not earned by oneself. However, no matter what Mr. Yasukawa's difficulties are, I can't let him continue to have adventures with Roma. After looking for the child in the tower, I still You have to find a church.”
He originally wanted to hire an adventurer as a guide, but there was an accident in Shimmering Forest before, and no one accepted the entrustment for a while, as if he was going to some kind of dragon pond and tiger's den.
Your reward is not enough to keep them from working hard, Sauron pointed out.
"I just ask them to lead the way. The premium cannot be too high." And there is basically no danger if you don't enter the forest, but these guys don't even have the guts to get close. Uriel's disappointment was undisguised. "Why can't adventurers be as brave and fearless as Mr. Calder's mercenary group?"
Because the latter don’t have to worry about what to eat next, they are qualified to pursue their dreams.
"If adventurers don't go on adventures, then why should they be adventurers? Mysterious creatures are more powerful than mortals, and they have many ways to make money."
You said it, the mysterious creature is more powerful. Therefore, it is considered extremely humiliating for them to work with mortals. Often when someone chooses an ordinary life, it is regarded as giving up all the advantages of being an adventurer.
"This is ridiculous," he said.
The world is so absurd, people care about honor and belly, as well as celebrity gossip and the belief that indulgences are cheaper. Sometimes they give up one thing for another as if they cannot have both, and even regard it as the truth of the world. For example, it is indeed impossible for a person to be alive and dead at the same time. But this is because they don't want to use their brains to think of a good reason. If you say that magic and curses can achieve results, or simply interchange the two concepts and make up a new one, such as half-undead or something - some fools will believe it. People are most likely to believe lies when they deceive themselves, precisely because they don’t call lies lies, but wishes. Uriel, people's wishes are the truth in the world, Sauron laughed.
"Remind me to consider other people's wishes when making decisions." Uriel sighed, "Maybe this way my choice will be wiser."
The Glimmer Forest became a more dangerous place than the church dungeon. He finally caught a risk-taking guy at the gate of the city, and the bargaining process gave him a huge headache. The name of this village is the same as that of the forest. There are countless villages called Shimmer next to the forest, which makes it difficult for people to distinguish them. But Uriel felt that "Shimmer" suited them well. "Our contract is unbreakable." The apprentice repeatedly assured the temporary tour guide and paid the reward in advance before he reluctantly agreed.
When he got there, he discovered that the adventurer's timidity was not without reason. The shimmering forest at noon was still covered in thick fog, and the ground was covered with straw-like yellow needles. The outer edge of the forest is full of tall pitch pines, with overlapping branches and ghostly shadows overhead. Even Uriel found it eerie, let alone the adventurers. When he stepped into the mist, faint scratching sounds surged up everywhere and spread away like ripples. Seeing this scene, the leader ran away without looking back.
"Something's not right here." Uriel said in a low voice.
The Shimmer Forest can be regarded as a mysterious place. Only the mysterious creatures of the forest race and related professions will feel at home here. The ring told him that you'd better be vigilant and watch every step you take.
"Is Windrunner a forest profession?"
not completely. Nature elves are the best archers on Binyaio, and this profession exists for them. But Windrunner, like Knight, has many small branches
Uriel's entire impression of forest occupations came from the druid Mr. Eds Haynes. As for the Windrunner he met at the Gaia Church branch in Bloomnot, he was just a puppet manipulated by others. He was not sure how much of the power of the puppet could be unleashed by the Green Envoy's magic. "Miss Roma went deep into the forest?"
no one knows. The adventurers Anchuan and Roma entered the forest, and it was others who witnessed their last mist condensing and changing. Let me finally remind you, I told you this long before you got on board! Shimmer Forest is unsafe, but the greatest danger to you isn't from the environment. Yasukawa is a mysterious creature in the high circle. That’s it in Boot Valley. Do you think Roma will be separated from Yasukawa in the forest? She'll die faster that way
"I don't know her," Uriel answered. I don't know that adventurer either. "Mr. Azrub has informed the Lion King of the news. There must be a ladder between Iron Claw City and Six Fingers Castle. I don't have to waste time waiting, and it's best if they don't wait either."
Then pray and see who of you meets who first and the mist will fly away.
It doesn't understand my thoughts. Uriel pushed aside an unknown bush, and little bits of light flickered among the grass blades. These are the elemental beings of the Glimmer Forest, but they have little intelligence to speak of. They were pushed aside like grains of sand by the waves of thick fog. To be honest, I don't quite understand it myself. He wanted to blame Roma for his behavior, but in the eyes of others, their current purposes and actions were the same. There is no use thinking about this. Uriel found himself spending more time thinking than acting. It's time, time that makes me anxious.
