Chapter 5: She's Actually a Forbidden Spellcaster?
Who dared to invade them?
Moon Bell held the crystal ball with both hands and instilled azure magic into it.
The azure clouds slowly circulated in the crystal ball and gradually transformed into Human Knights.
They were fully armed and rode on horses of various colors. They brought a group of servants and bulging luggage and walked fearlessly in the territory of the Dark Elves.
An army of Humans?
No, I don't think so.
Moon Bell carefully sized up the Knights in front of her.
The armor they wore did not have any royal patterns.
Moreover, they did not carry flags that symbolized their status as usual.
This group of people should only be a group of ordinary private mercenaries.
Why did they come here?
…
A team of Knights scurrying through the dark forest with torches
In the middle.
The person in the lead was wearing the most complicated armor. It looked expensive and was obviously from a noble family. freewebnov(e)l
The other people were only wearing the most ordinary basic armor.
There were no fancy decorations or strange details.
The front half of the team was very compact.
The Knights in front rode their horses and galloped forward.
As for the few Marquises behind, they could only jog behind the horses and fall behind from time to time.
They were a group of mercenaries.
This time, they had received a commission from a noble to open up the mountain path between this land and the outside world.
So that the nobles could reclaim some new fields to use as manors in this ownerless land.
It was said that there used to be Dark Elves living on this land.
However, it had been more than a hundred years. They should have died long ago.
The leading Knight, Reid, smacked his lips. It was a pity to think about it.
Although the Dark Elves were known to be evil,
However, the entire race was rich in beauties.
The proportion of women in the community is also very high.
Back then, the Dark Elven Kingdom was known as the Capital of Beauties.
He recalled the Dark Elf beauty's seductiveness described in the forbidden book he had read before.
Reid was drooling.
It was good to be a vassal race. Why did Humans have to destroy their race?!
What a waste!
If his clan hadn't been exterminated back then, his family would have arranged for at least two Dark Elven maids!
Worked during the day and did chores at night.
Just as Reid's imagination was running wild, a piercing call interrupted his reverie.
"Keep up, you slobs. Don't keep the great Sir Reid waiting."
"Grimm, don't worry about them. Let's go to the front and set up camp. Let them slowly rush over."
Reid frowned and chased the person who shouted just now to the back of the team.
He really did not know what the nobles who had issued the mission back then were thinking.
He even asked them to bring a few servants who were drawing the map over.
It was fine if he brought people, but he did not even give them all the horses. Now, he had to stop all the way and his progress was as slow as a snail.
"Let's set up camp here."
Reid dismounted from his horse. The servants following him immediately took out their tents and other camping items and quickly set up camp.
Many Knights were the first to sit on the ground. They unbuckled their buckles and the heavy armor on their bodies fell to the ground with a clang.
The Knights behind him took off their heavy armor and sat around the bonfire to relax.
"Do you think there will be Dark Elves here?"
"That was over a hundred years ago. Living in a hellhole like this, they'd probably be extinct by now."
"It's good that this territory is empty. It's convenient for us to complete the mission given by Master Andrew."
The red-haired Knight stretched and pointed at the mountain path.
"Find a suitable location later and open up the mountain path between the two sides as soon as possible. We'll go back and report and collect our wages."
"Don't be so impatient."
Reid studied the map intently.
"Lord Andrew wants land where he can grow crops and grapes."
"Look at this place. Can it grow grapes?"
The surrounding withered trees twisted strangely, and caterpillars covered in thorns squirmed on the branches.
The ground was often mixed with brownish-yellow salt particles.
"In this godforsaken place, even grass can't grow, let alone crops."
"Then why don't we go to the gathering place where the Dark Elves live?"
The yellow-haired Knight in the team had an idea and immediately suggested it to everyone.
"After all, it's a place they used to live in. Where people can live, they can usually farm food!" freew(e)bnove(l)
"Maybe we can even pick up some treasures left behind by the Dark Elves over there!"
"Not a bad idea."
Reid clapped his hands in approval.
"Since you say so, let's speed up our march today and get there as soon as possible."
"As for those map artists over there, it depends on whether they work hard enough to catch up to us."
Moon Bell looked at the Knights in the crystal ball with anger in her eyes.
"Haha."
What did these Knights take her territory for?
He could come and go as he pleased?
Dream on.
Unfortunately, it was easy to enter, but he could forget about leaving!
…
When the sun was about to set, they finally found the gathering place of the Dark Elves.
"We're almost there. Look."
The Knight's attendant pointed at the smoke in the air.
There were obviously people living here.
"I didn't expect there to be people living here."
Could it be that the Dark Elves hadn't been completely exterminated?
Wasn't this perfect?
A fire burned in Reid's heart.
Coincidentally, he still lacked a few Dark Elven maids in his territory.
"Let's go!"
Reid shook the reins and squeezed the horse under him. Without hesitation, he rushed forward.
He must see the beauty of the Dark Elves today!
"Sir, look, there's one in the wheat field over there!"
Reid looked over and saw a petite beauty with twin braids. She was holding a heavy rice stalk and looking at the sunset in the distance alone.
Her moon-white skin was a healthy honey color under the setting sun.
Just looking at her back was enough to seduce one's soul.
Reid was almost drooling.
As the ancient records described, the Dark Elves were all top-notch beauties!
"No one is allowed to tell anyone about the Dark Elves' survival!"
"If you dare to disobey my orders, I'll kill you immediately!"
Reid immediately frowned and warned the people around him sternly.
If such a beauty was discovered by that greedy noble, he would not have a share!
This news must not be leaked!
The surrounding people immediately nodded submissively.
"Yes, boss."
"Next, we'll change our target."
Reid looked enviously at the Dark Elves in the wheat field.
"Let's play a game. As long as one of you can catch her, I'll reward him with a gold coin!"
One gold coin!
One gold coin was enough to support a noble family's living expenses for a year.
To poor Knights like them, this was a windfall!
Many Knights immediately raised their hands enthusiastically.
"Me!"
"Let me do it!"
"Boss, this mission is mine!"
Besides…
This Dark Elf girl was clearly easy to manipulate!
This gold coin was a piece of cake!
"Fire…"
The petite Dark Elf raised her hands and chanted an incantation.
Under his feet, waves of fire elements turned into a vortex.
In a moment, the wanton flames devoured all the wheat stalks in the wheat field.
Seeing this scene…
The many Knights who had raised their hands enthusiastically just now fell silent.
They looked at the huge fire vortex on the wheat field in silence and couldn't help but gulp.
This delicate little girl was actually a Forbidden Spellcaster?
