Chapter 399 New Journey: Nelin City

Chapter 399 New Journey - Nelin City

Valentin Kingdom, Nelin City,

Valentin Kingdom is one of the human kingdoms located in the south of Fanol Continent near the Navia Forest, and is also a human kingdom bordering the eastern part of the Navia Forest.

Unlike the human kingdoms in the central part of the continent where wars and disputes have already ignited, the terrain of these human kingdoms bordering the Elf Forest is undulating, mostly hilly, and there are not many areas suitable for human habitation.

Also because of the proximity to the Elf Kingdom, these kingdoms have not yet been involved in the war.

However, other regions are different. With the "good start" of the Kingdom of Feis, many powerful kingdoms have extended their greedy claws to the surrounding weak kingdoms.

However, so far, the war on the entire Fanol Continent is still in a controllable state.

After all, those big countries are all destroying their weak neighboring countries, and they are vigilant and alert to kingdoms with similar strength.

This is what the Kingdom of Fez is like now. During the period of digesting the Kingdom of Berdych, all its strength was taken back.

However, with the demise of those small countries and the disappearance of the buffer zone, conflicts between these powerful human kingdoms will be inevitable one day.

At that time, even these remote kingdoms will not be able to escape the influence of war.

But now, it is still as busy as usual with a somewhat peaceful atmosphere.

In the city of Nelin, on the wide stone road, the sound of horse hooves, wheels and pedestrians' footsteps interweave into a busy symphony.

The caravans are loaded with all kinds of goods. Some have just come out of the Elf Forest, and some have come from afar to this small town near the Great Forest of Navia to purchase special products from the elves and forest products.

The endless caravans raise dust all the way, but they carry the breath of wealth and hope.

In the shops on both sides of the street, merchants warmly greet passers-by and display their goods.

Spices, medicinal herbs and even various dried delicious fungi and fruits from the big forest are neatly stacked on the stalls.

But what attracts the merchants most is the exquisite handicrafts, weapons and equipment of the elves and even the magic props emitting various spiritual lights.

The sound of bargaining is one after another, and the air is filled with a strong commercial atmosphere.

The overall area of ​​​​Nelin City is not large, and there are not many indigenous people, but because it is close to the Forest of Elves, it is quite prosperous, and the merchants coming and going have crowded here.

Li Si, dressed as an ordinary adventurer, walked on the streets of Nelin City, watching the busy scene around with interest, and spent a silver coin to buy some fresh fruits.

Because the breath of life in the Forest of Elves is much stronger than that in the outside world, all kinds of fruits are sweeter and juicier.

Especially the pomelo fruit in Li Si's hand, as long as it is processed to remove the annoying mucus, the crisp taste and sweet taste of the flesh are quite tempting.

Some of them are similar to the jackfruit on the blue planet. Li Si likes this kind of fruit very much.

Many residents in Nelin City make profits by processing and providing this simple fruit and game, and providing services to caravans.

This city relies almost entirely on the trade between caravans to survive, so the residents are quite enthusiastic about outsiders.

When Li Si was strolling in the city, he often saw people with long ears and thin bodies.

Some of these people are elves from the Elf Forest, but most of them are half-elves of human and elf hybrids.

Because of the pressure from the Elf Kingdom, the neighboring human kingdoms will not appear to capture elf slaves at least on the surface.

Especially in the city, the city guards have maintained an active crackdown on the elf slave-catching team.

But that is also on the surface.

Many times in the underground world of these cities, the sale of elf slaves at illegal auctions is always a reserved item.

As long as the elves don't catch the handle, the city guards often treat it as if nothing happened.

Often, there is some kind of connection between the lords of these cities and the slave-hunting teams. What's worse, those lords are the behind-the-scenes operators of the slave-hunting teams, secretly seeking huge profits and satisfying their personal desires through this channel.

As long as there is no direct evidence, the elves are somewhat helpless about this behavior.

After all, the bases of the slave-hunting teams are set up in secret places outside the city. Even if one of them is destroyed, the lords cannot be directly implicated.

Although many elves are angry about this, they still have to abide by certain rules and bottom lines.

Although the Elf Kingdom is powerful, humans still dominate the Fanol Continent. Both the legendary strongmen and the camps of the gods they believe in are much stronger.

Compared with the elves, the living environment of the half-elves is much worse.

Half-elves are closer to elves in appearance, and they are also handsome, but their lifespan is only half that of elves.

For this reason, humans regard half-elves as part of the elves.

But for the elves, in their concept, half-elves are a group of impure blood, and they do not accept these half-elves.

Even the Elf King Court does not allow half-elves to enter, and looks at them with strange eyes.

Half-elves have no way to get the baptism of [New Buds of the World Tree], thinking that they are not qualified to receive the gift of the World Tree.

Half-elves have good talents. So far, most of them live in human cities and the edge of the Navia Great Forest, mainly engaged in guards and mercenaries.

Later, the contradictions between half-elves and elves became more and more intensified, and even caused a big storm.

However, Li Si is not very interested in these now.

When he left the floating city, he had arranged the affairs of Port Danerlo in advance.

Mora and Bernal are in charge of various political affairs. Li Si has not had any major incidents in the six months he has been in the floating city, and the development of the territory is also thriving. Li Si has nothing to worry about.

As for the safety of the territory, Uncle Joyce and other men are there, so Li Si does not need to worry about it.

So Li Si also started the journey to the Elf Forest with confidence.

Because of the requirements for obtaining [Natural Proof], Li Si did not use space teleportation and flying to hurry up, but chose to hike.

Usually he traveled alone, and occasionally he would join some caravans halfway to lie down for a while.

"Mr. Li Si, are you really not going back to Kema City with us?"

"I am willing to pay three times the reward to hire you!"

A man in brown casual clothes said beside Li Si.

"Manager Charles, I don't care about those gold coins."

Li Si threw a Pomegranate into his mouth and said with a smile.

"My destination is the Kingdom of Bolin, and it is impossible to return with the caravan."

"Is that so?"

Manager Charles looked regretful. After persuading Li Si for so long, he still didn't give in. It seems that there is no hope.

His caravan set out from Kema City in the former Kingdom of Bertich to trade in Nelin City and purchase the specialties of the Elf Forest before returning.

At the border of the Kingdom of Valentine, their caravan was accidentally attacked by a group of silver-level hurricane wolves.

If it weren't for Li Si who passed by, who would have known what the final result would be?

Even if they could repel the wolf pack's attack, it would be a miserable victory at best, and most of the ordinary guys in the caravan would definitely not be able to save their lives.

Charles knew very well that although Li Si had always shown the strength of the silver rank, his ease and confidence meant that Li Si was very likely to be a gold rank.

Charles was very confident in his judgment. As the leader of the caravan, he was quite confident in his ability to judge people.

Although Li Si had some hidden noble aura, Charles didn't think that this was a noble son who came out to see the world?

Just kidding, that night Li Si easily killed those extremely difficult and thorny wind wolves for the caravan. His sophisticated techniques and skilled skills were enough to prove that he was a well-deserved strong man.

He was simply not comparable to those nobles who were lazy all day and used all kinds of precious magic potions to pile up their strength.

Charles even felt that even if the guards of his caravan joined forces, they were not sure whether they could escape from Li Si.

It was also because of Li Si's joining that the subsequent journey of the entire Chamber of Commerce seemed somewhat calm, and they arrived at Nelin City safely.

This is why Charles invited Li Si again and again, knowing that his destination was somewhere else and the possibility of his agreement was very low.

Unfortunately, even the three-fold reward did not impress Li Si.

Charles could only give up.

"Then I wish you a safe journey, Lord Li Si."

Charles said regretfully, and then handed Li Si an exquisite mahogany box.

"This is my little gift, thank you for your help along the way."

"What is this?"

Li Si was a little curious, took it and opened it.

In the mahogany box, a gorgeous emerald green bracelet was quietly placed on the blue velvet cushion.

This slender bracelet should be a women's jewelry. It seems to be carved from emerald green jade stone. The green is lively and moving as if it has life.

On the bracelet, there is a circle of exquisite gold decorations. The decorations are delicate and vivid, the lines are smooth and elegant, and after careful grinding and polishing, it is extremely bright and gorgeous.

Under the sunlight, the gold decorations seem to be lit up and shining. Every outline and detail is clearly visible, as if a delicate golden scroll is slowly unfolding on the wrist.

This is the craftsmanship of the elves, and it is a treasure!

Li Si took a look and didn't feel anything special except for the exquisite appearance. It should be a normal elf jewelry.

It should be suitable to give it to Lisa!

Li Si thought about it and asked Charles with the box:

"What is it?"

"This is the best elven ornament the caravan received in Nelin City this time. I hope you like it."

Charles said with a smile. Although this ornament is very precious, it can't be compared with the loss that Li Si saved for the caravan.

"Thank you."

Li Si didn't care and put it in the storage ring.

"Then I'll leave."

Li Si nodded to Charles and left.

Charles opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything to keep him. He walked towards the Chamber of Commerce with some frustration.

Although there is no hope, it's good to leave an impression with Li Si.

Only Li Si has a good temper, otherwise Charles would not dare to get close to him.

Why not retire or stay in the Chamber of Commerce this time?

Charles thought to himself that he had accumulated enough wealth anyway, which would allow him to live a worry-free life in the future. Why should he live this kind of life with his head hanging on the belt?

Especially looking at Li Si's extremely young appearance and powerful strength, this feeling became stronger.

"Alas~"

Charles sighed deeply, shook his head and left somewhat uninterested.

On the other hand, Li Si did not care about Charles's loss, he had more important things to do.

In Nelin City, in addition to the people related to the caravan, the most numerous are the endless adventurers.

Naturally, the area and scale of the mercenary guild in Nelin City are much larger than other places, and mercenaries in different clothes emerge in an endless stream.

Unlike Cangguang City, many of the mercenaries here are elves or half-elves, and dwarves are rare here.

The Navia Great Forest is extremely rich in products, and all kinds of precious materials and plants are produced here, with a wide variety of species. In addition, there are many monsters and beasts living in the forest.

Although the elves are the masters of the Navia Great Forest, in a sense they do not care about other races obtaining various resources from the Great Forest.

The elves' philosophy is somewhat similar to that of druids, believing that the forest is also a part of nature, and that reasonable and moderate acquisition of resources and hunting of monsters will help maintain the operation of the forest.

What they opposed was the unscrupulous logging of the forest and the invasion of the elf town by foreign tribes.

It was only later that the relationship between elves and humans began to deteriorate when humans began to capture elf slaves.

Li Si looked around at the mercenaries resting and drinking in the mercenary tavern. Perhaps because of the existence of elf mercenaries, the appearance of the mercenaries here was obviously much higher than that of other places.

But it was still a little worse than mine!

Li Si made a conclusion with deep conviction and walked straight to the bar of the tavern.

"How can I help you?"

Behind the bar stood a well-dressed half-elf woman with a delicate face that was slightly immature and charming.

Li Si threw her a mercenary information card, then took the space ring and poured it on the ground.

Hualalalalal~

Various Warcraft materials poured down and soon piled up into a small hill on the ground in front of the bar.

Various Warcraft magic crystals, furs, claws and fangs exuded a faint magical aura, and the air in the entire area was even covered with a faint bloody smell.

The fangs and claws of the Swift Wolf that contain wind elements, the complete skin and whip of the Earth Tiger, and the precious eyeballs the size of fingernails of the Thunder Sculpture

All these together are enough to show the large number of Warcraft materials in front of us!

Huh!

The abnormality in front of the bar immediately attracted the attention of all the mercenaries in the tavern.

"Who is this guy? Where did he get so many magic beast materials? Did he hunt them all by himself?"

"Is he the agent of a mercenary group? He looks unfamiliar?"

"Of course he is. Didn't you sense the magic fluctuations of those materials? The lowest ones are all silver grade!"

"Hiss~"

Li Si ignored the others' suspicions and pointed to the magic beast materials on the ground and said to the half-elf girl:

"Help me process all these materials. Remember to count the mercenary points."

"Don't think of anything to me, okay?"

"Also, ask your manager to come out. I want to buy some information."

Although Li Si's tone was not too harsh, the half-elf girl looked pale. She nodded and said:

"Please rest assured that those things will not happen in the mercenary guild."

After that, the waitress hurriedly ran away to the back.

Li Si shook his head, sat in front of the bar, and asked for a glass of elf specialty fruit wine to taste.

Although he didn't care about the monsters he killed along the way for practice, his good habit of leveling made him unwilling to be cheated by others.

If it weren't for the fact that collecting bronze-level monster materials took too much time and the low value, the number of monster materials here would have increased several times.

Although Li Si looked harmless, somehow, his figure, set against the backdrop of the small mountain of monster materials, had a mysterious meaning.

So much so that the discussion of the mercenaries around him became quieter, and they involuntarily changed the topic.
