Chapter 170: Lyra [Emerald Isle] and [Black Sails]

Chapter 170 Lyra [Emerald Island] and [Black Sails]

Seeing this group of elves approaching, Yan Yan and Cui Xi were both 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, if you take a closer look, there are quite a few differences between the images of these elves and Laila.

 The clothes they wear are quite gorgeous, and they are obviously made by excellent craftsmen, and are generally decorated with turquoise leaves that are reminiscent of nature.

 In addition, they all wear various jewelry, which adds a bit of unique nobility.

 It’s not that these elves are not good-looking.

 Compared with Laila, it seems much more complicated and tacky, without that kind of clear beauty.

As soon as they saw Xia En and Yan Yan in black robes, the elves immediately stopped talking and stared at the two people warily.

One of the tall, straight-backed male elves asked in congratulations.

 “Hey, who are you two? (Elvish)”

Seeing his expression and movements, Xia En 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 the era where Xia En lived, and it is impossible to learn it even if you want to.

Shaan was about to use gestures and movements to explain a little, but he heard Laila next to him respond in that elegant tone.

 “Cade, they are my friends. (Elvish)”

"friend?"

Hearing this, Cade's tone became even worse and he mocked.

“Oh, I see, they are the crew members of the Black Sails, right?”

 “No wonder you can’t understand what we say.”

"Being friends with that kind of pirate is something only you, Laila, can do!"

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 response to this, 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!”

 When she said the last half of the sentence, the beautiful girl's eyes 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 spoke, 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, so they looked at Laila with the same hatred.

 Some elves had a faint secret power escaping from them, trying to intimidate each other.

At this time, even if Xia En couldn't understand the Elvish language, he could tell that these elves had an unfriendly attitude.

Then 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 a cannonball.

 He knew very well in his heart that no matter what conflicts there were between these elves and Laila, he suddenly came to this strange place and he had to find someone to understand the situation.

 At the moment, Laila speaks Common and has a gentle attitude.

If you don’t help her, how about helping 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.

Shaan's move made everyone, including Cade and the others, as well as Laila, look surprised.

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 emerald-colored light jumped like a heartbeat.

Immediately, a layer of emerald-colored force field-like things spread out with him as the center.

“You pirate, you still dare to attack me! I must teach you a lesson today...(Elvish)”

 Before Cade finished speaking, Xia En's fist 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 away by the secret technique did not happen.

On the contrary, it was the emerald-colored force field that 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!

The overwhelming force swept over him, as if he was 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 down.

 “Hu…hu…”

 Breathing rapidly, his throat was filled with the smell of blood, and Cade felt that his eyesight was dimming.

“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 each other, can we still lose? The advantage is mine!”

The other elves were secretly frightened, but they also directly attacked Xia En.

 Some elves took out arrows and short spears and attacked from a long distance.

That bow and arrow has a faint glow and is blessed with secret power, which is enough to easily kill ordinary second-level mystical practitioners.

 Some elves directly speak wonderful words, creating magical effects like "speaking spirits".

 It can either temporarily immobilize you, 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.

  —In the same way, [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.

Various negative auras fell on Xia En as if they were asking for money.

There are also dazzling spells, such as wind blades and thunders, 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. Let alone an ordinary third-level mystic, even if he is 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.

 You can't hit, you can't break your defense, you can't dodge!

Against these elves, Xia En was like a hexagonal warrior, crushing them in all directions and leaving them unable to find any loopholes.

 And this is actually the result of Xia En's keeping his hand.

If he really wanted to kill, these elves wouldn't be enough for him to kill in one minute.

 It didn’t take long.

Shaan casually grabbed an arrow that was shot towards him, threw it on the ground, and walked slowly towards the last elven archer not far away.

“You are definitely not human! (Elvish)”

This elf girl was trembling all over, but she still asked: "You, who are you!?"

 “Why do you want to help Laila?”

Xia En didn't understand what she was talking about, but he just picked up the elf like a chicken, and then threw it into the woods far away.

Not far away, their low screams 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’re so good at fighting!”

Behind Xia En, Laila walked over briskly and said with admiration in surprise.

“Are you really a crew member of the 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 "Beheading Gramophone" 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?

 “Hmm? Don’t you know [Black Sails]?”

Laila seemed to see Xia En's doubts and asked in surprise: "On the mainland, the name [Black Sails] is still very famous, right?"

Shaan asked: "No, I'm just curious about what the relationship between [Black Sail] and you elves is."

 “You don’t even know this?”

Laila was even more surprised: "Did we take the [Black Sails] to come to this island?"

Xia En became more and more puzzled: "Island? Is this an island?"

“Yes, this island is called [Emerald Island], and we just moved to this island not long ago.”

It seemed like Shane didn’t understand anything, so Laila had to tell the whole story from the beginning.

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 **** ship.

 At this time, although the [Black Sail Pirates Group] 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, enough for the [Black Sails] and its fleet to transport them several times before they all migrated to the [Emerald Island].

“…And this time when the [Black Sails] 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, every shipment requires at least several months of sailing, right?”

Laila responded as expected: "Yes."

“Calculating the time, it should be ten years in total?”

 “Ten years…”

Xia En was secretly surprised: "Isn't this time too long?"

 In his impression, don’t ethnic migrations all go together?

How can it be divided into batches?

To this, Laila widened her 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 the Queen was worried that humans and elves would mix together, more and more half-elves would be born, and fewer and fewer pure-blood elves would be born, so a space was opened on the mother tree for them to live.”

 Xia En nodded suddenly.

 “Ah…so that’s it.”

Now, he completely understands why, thousands of years later, the [Emerald City] under the cold sea has a hierarchical 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 elf.

At this time, Tracey on the side asked curiously: "Sister Laila, didn't you just speak common language?"

“Why did you suddenly learn it after entering the house?”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 institutions.

Laila had a proud smile on her lips and puffed up her chest confidently: "It's very simple, because... I am a genius!"

"…ah?"

 Let alone 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 over and cause trouble for you."

 “It will be troublesome if you don’t understand Elvish.”

 “Come with me.”

Speaking, Laila took Xia En and the others into the cabin.

This 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, shabby brass steam engine.

These debris were piled up like a hill, without even a place to stand.

It's very much like a mad scientist's laboratory.

Soon, Laila got into the pile of debris and started rummaging through it.
