Chapter 170 Laila [Emerald Island] and [Black Sails]
Seeing this group of elves approaching, Yan Yan and Cui Qian were a little at a loss.
They haven't recovered from the news that they have returned to the past, and they don't know how to deal with these strange elves.
Xia En took a deep breath and prepared himself.
However, upon closer inspection, there is a big difference between the images of these elves and Laila.
The clothes they wear are quite gorgeous, and they are obviously made by excellent craftsmen, and they are generally decorated with turquoise leaves that are reminiscent of nature.
In addition, they all carry various jewelry, which adds a bit of unique elegance.
It’s not that these elves are not good-looking.
Just compared with Laila, it seems a lot more complicated and tacky, without that kind of clear beauty.
As soon as they saw Xia En and Yan Yan in black robes, these elves immediately stopped talking and stared at the two people vigilantly and warily.
One of the tall, straight-backed male elves asked in congratulations.
"Hey, who are you two? (Elvish)"
Seeing his expression and movements, Shane certainly knew that he was asking about his identity.
But the language barrier is indeed a big problem!
Especially the "foreign language" like Elvish, which has been lost in Xia En's era, and you can't learn it even if you want to.
When Shane was about to use gestures and movements to explain, he heard Laila next to him respond in that elegant tone.
"Cade, they are my friends. (Elvish)"
"Friends?"
Hearing this, Cade's tone became even worse. mocked.
“Oh, I see, they are the crew members of the [Black Sails], right?”
"No wonder you can't understand what we are saying."
"Being friends with that kind of pirate is something only you, Laila, can do!"
It's not just him, The other elves also looked at Laila with disgust and disgust.
This disgust does not come from Xia En and the other two, but seems to have been buried in his heart for a long time.
In this regard, Laila's expression did not waver and she just said.
"Are you done? This is my territory. What do you want to do if you break in without permission?"
"Now, get out of here!"
The last half of the sentence, This beautiful girl's eyes were widened and her tone was cold.
Hearing this, Cade's expression changed slightly, but perhaps it was the youthful arrogance unique to young people, or perhaps he was dissatisfied with Laila's attitude.
Not only did he not retreat, but he said coldly.
"We won't leave, what can you do to me?"
As he said that, Cade took a step forward.
“You are a sinner’s daughter. I really don’t know why Her Majesty the Queen is so tolerant to you!”
Although the other elves were a little surprised by Cade’s aggressive attitude, they felt that he was right. That's right, so he looked at Laila with the same hatred.
Some elves have a faint secret power escaping from them, trying to intimidate the other party.
At this time, even if Xia En couldn't understand the Elvish language, he could still see the unfriendly attitude of these elves.
So he looked at Laila with questioning eyes.
Laila gritted her teeth and spoke directly in Common Language.
“You two, help me drive them out!”
Yan Yan and Cui Qian were stunned again.
But Xia En did not hesitate, lightly stepped his legs on the ground, and rushed towards these elves like cannonballs.
He actually knew very well in his heart that no matter what conflicts these elves had with Laila, he had to find someone to understand the situation when he suddenly came to this strange place.
Now, Laila speaks Common and has a gentle attitude.
If you don’t help her, how about you help these elves who have malicious intentions at first glance?
Furthermore, in Xia En's perception, the strength of these elves are generally at the second or third level, so they do not pose much of a threat.
When Xia En made a move, everyone from Cade and others to Laila showed surprised expressions.
The reason is simple.
His speed is really too fast!
In Cade's eyes, this suspicious-looking man in black robes seemed to have turned into a phantom, right in front of him.
However, Cade himself is also a third-level Mystic Pathfinder, so he is not completely powerless to fight back.
In his pupils, the jade-colored light pulsed like a heartbeat.
Immediately, a layer of emerald-colored force field-like things spread out with him as the center.
"You pirate, you actually dare to attack me! I must teach you a lesson today... (Elvish)"
Before Cade finished speaking, Shane's fist, It had already landed on the emerald-colored force field.
Cade had a look of ridicule in his eyes.
This is indeed a stupid human being who dares to directly touch his own secret technique with his body!
But the next moment.
Cade's expression suddenly changed.
Because the expected situation of the opponent being shocked by the secret technique did not happen.
On the contrary, the emerald-colored force field showed countless fine cracks just after touching it.
With a "click", the barrier protecting Cade shattered.
In his widened eyes, a pair of big hands grabbed his waist.
Then, he suddenly threw it forward!
An overwhelming force swept over them, as if they were hit head-on by a large ship.
Before Cade had time to react, he flew backwards, at least dozens of meters, and finally hit a big tree heavily.
Smoke and dust were everywhere along the way, the tree trunks were trembling, and many leaves fell.
"Huh...huh..."
Breathing rapidly, his throat was filled with the smell of blood, Cade felt that the vision in front of him was darkening.
“How can this guy’s strength be so terrifying?”
“Is he also a third-level secret path user?”
"However, if eight of us fight against one, can we still lose? I have the advantage!"
While the other elves were secretly frightened, they also directly attacked Xia En.
Some elves took out arrows and short spears and attacked from a long distance.
The bow and arrow have a faint glow and are blessed with secret power, which is enough to easily kill ordinary second-level mystics.
Some elves directly speak wonderful words, causing magical effects like "speaking spirits".
Either temporarily immobilize yourself, add BUFF to friendly forces, or activate the plants around you to attack.
Obviously, this is what is special about the language [Elvish].
It can directly call and communicate secret power, but normal human mages have to use complex spells, magic circles, etc. to do this.
——For the same reason, [Dragon Language] also has similar characteristics.
Judging from the visual effects alone, the elves are actually very magical and gorgeous when they perform their secret arts.
All kinds of negative auras fell on Xia En as if they were asking for money.
There are also dazzling spells, such as wind blades and thunder, attacking from all angles.
However, these methods have no effect on Xia En.
After being bound to the incomplete [Diamond Star], his attributes in all aspects soared to extremely terrifying levels. Not to mention an ordinary third-level mystic, even a fourth-level one, he still has the confidence to give it a try!
Ordinary spells cannot hit Xia En, who is moving at high speed.
Even if they hit, they can't break the defense.
On the other hand, Xia En can easily break through the elves' defensive spells with a random punch or kick.
If you can’t hit, you can’t break your defense, and you can’t dodge!
Xia En was like a hexagonal warrior against these elves, crushing them in all aspects and leaving them unable to find any flaws.
And this is actually the result of Xia En's persistence.
If he really wanted to kill, these elves wouldn't be enough for him to kill in one minute.
It didn’t take long.
Shane casually grabbed an arrow that was shot towards him, threw it on the ground, and walked slowly towards the last elf archer not far away.
"You are definitely not human! (Elvish)"
The elf girl was trembling all over, but she still asked: "You, who are you!?"
"Why do you want to help Laila?"
Xia En couldn't understand her. What he was talking about, he just picked up the elf like a little chicken, and then threw it into the woods far away.
Not far away, their low cries of pain could be vaguely heard.
At this time, most of Cade and others were bruised and swollen, very embarrassed, and lacked the previous gorgeousness and elegance.
But after such a fight, the elves had a clear understanding of Xia En's strength. They only dared to look at him with anger and fear, and then walked away in despair.
“So you are so good at fighting!”
Behind Xia En, Laila walked over briskly and said in surprise and admiration.
“Are you really a crew member of [Black Sails]?”
“[Black Sails]?”
Xia En was startled when he heard this name.
He has never heard of the [Black Sails], but he has heard of a [Black Sails Fleet]!
That was the information that Xia En got from the room of the [Decapitation Phonograph] when he first encountered the [Ember Treasure].
The owner of the forbidden relic is called Augustine Norwich.
He is a legendary pirate, the master of the Black Sail Fleet, and the king of the maritime principality!
But now, how can this [Black Sail] be connected with the elves?
"Huh? Don't you know [Black Sails]?"
Laila seemed to see Shane's doubts and asked in surprise: "On the mainland, [Black Sails] The name of "Black Sail" is still very famous, right?"
Xia En asked: "No, I'm just curious about the relationship between [Black Sail] and you elves."
" You don’t even know this?”
Laila was even more surprised: "We came to this island on the [Black Sails]?"
Xia En became more and more confused: "Island? This is an island?"< br>
“Yes, this island is called [Emerald Island], and we just moved to this island not long ago.”
Seeing that Shane didn’t seem to understand anything, Laila had to tell the story from the beginning. The whole story of this incident.
It turns out that the elves on this [Emerald Island] are not all the elves.
To be precise, they are just a branch of the elves.
For some reason, Her Majesty the Queen of their clan migrated to this [Emerald Island] with the entire clan and even the Elf Mother Tree, and built a city here.
The way they migrate is to take the [Black Sail] and its escort ship.
Although the [Black Sail Pirates] at this time has not grown to the point where it can be called a "fleet", it also has several auxiliary ships.
Of course, the number of elves is not large, and it took the [Black Sail] and its fleet to transport them several times before they all migrated to the [Emerald Island].
"...and this time the [Black Sail] docked, it was transporting the last batch of elves."
After listening to Laila's words, Shane had a general understanding of the situation, and asked curiously .
“Doesn’t that mean that the entire migration process took several years?”
“After all, each transportation requires at least several months of sailing, right?”
Laila responded naturally: "Yes."
"Calculate the time, it should be ten years in total?"
"Ten years..."
Xia En was secretly surprised: "Isn't this time too long?"< br>
In his impression, don’t things like racial migration all go together?
How can it be done in batches?
In response to this, Laila widened her beautiful eyes in confusion: "Ten years is not a long time, right?"
Xia En's mouth twitched, and then he suddenly realized——
Elves are immortal species!
What is a long time for humans is just a blink of an eye for them.
Suddenly, Xia En remembered something again. He looked up at the ring surrounding the mother tree and asked.
"What about the city on the ring?"
"Oh, you said that."
Laila explained casually: "The city on the ring is called [Upper City] "
"The people living in the city are the indigenous people of this island, the immigrants who came to this island with us, and some elves who are mixed with humans."
"Because. Her Majesty was worried that humans and elves would mix together, and more and more half-elves would be born, while fewer and fewer pure-blood elves would be born, so she opened up a space on the mother tree for them to live.”
Xia En nodded suddenly.
“Ah...so that’s it.”
Now, he fully understands why thousands of years later, the [Emerald City] under the cold sea will appear layered up and down. layout.
From the beginning, these were two different cities.
After the great flood, the Elf Mother Tree disappeared, and only then did the situation that Xia En saw later appear.
"Wait, so you are not a resident of the upper city?"
Laila also reacted and became more curious about the identity of the two people and the goblin.
At this time, Tracey on the side asked curiously: "Sister Laila, didn't you know how to speak Common Language just now?"
"How come you suddenly learned it after entering the house? ”
“Hmph.”
A proud smile appeared on the corner of Laila's mouth, and she puffed up her chest confidently: "It's very simple, because... I am a genius!"
"...Huh?"
Don't talk about Yan Yan, Xia En's expression was a little strange.
“Why, don’t you believe it?”
Laila suddenly remembered something: “By the way, you just beat up Cade and the others, maybe someone will come to find you. Trouble.”
"It will be troublesome if you don't understand Elvish."
"Come with me."
With that said, Laila took Shane and the others into the cabin.
The room is filled with all kinds of books and drawings. Some of the papers have many complicated magic circles and formulas drawn on them, as well as bottles and jars of various sizes and alchemy instruments.
Shane even saw a small, worn-out brass steam engine.
The debris was piled up like a hill, without even a place to stand.
It looks like a mad scientist's laboratory.
Soon, Laila got into the pile of debris and started rummaging through it.
