  Summer wild hunting is a long-standing custom of the wood elves, and it is also a worship ceremony for the hunting **** Kunos.

As Orion, the wood elves king of Athel Loren, blows the wild horn, all the enchanted forests will respond, hordes of forest spirits will wake up, the ancient tree people will also join the wood elves, and the inhabitants of the woods will be the best. The wildest, bloodiest way to slay all enemies of the forest.

  Sometimes the wood elves hunted the beastmen, and sometimes the greenskin races. Historically, the wild hunts in the Athel Loren forest have been the villages and towns of the neighboring knight kingdom.

   Lauren Loren forest customs are slightly different, they obey Queen Marist, natural kindness and rationality prevail, so they have no trouble with the northern provinces of the empire, and their relationship is relatively stable.

The woodland lord said a little depressedly: "Lauren Loren urgently needs more weapons and food to feed the residents of Eslai and arm them, but the dwarf craftsman reluctantly accepted our order, I hope you can help us, call that Long beards and short stacks can make more weapons and arrows, and it is acceptable to increase the price appropriately."

"Your Excellency Olasif, you have misunderstood a little. Human dwarves are equal allies, and Langoni Stonehelm is not my subordinate. Directly ordering a bearded person is very unwise." He shook his head: "The output of the dwarf workshop is limited. If you urgently need to buy more trade materials, the situation will be much better when the trade station is completed."

The woodland lord explained eagerly: "No, no, no, Lord Laren, we all know the habit of short stacks, I just hope that you can help Eslai 'properly' in a private capacity, and in return, we also You have prepared a little heart."

  Two Eternal Guards brought a trailer full of cases of Elf Cider, and a jewelry box filled with strings of delicate ornaments, agates, emeralds, jewels, and several splendid costumes adorned with various leaves.

  The Knight of the Kingdom, Nikas Francis, who was standing beside him, was surprised by the generosity of the Wood Elf. Although he regarded money as something outside himself, he was stunned when faced with a cart full of expensive gifts.

"This is a gift from the Woodland Council of Lauren Loren, and the guardian of the Gold and Silver Sacred Tree, Her Majesty Queen Marist, congratulates the two parties on signing a trade agreement." Olasif mentioned the queen's name taboo At that time, with an undisguised look of admiration on his face, he spread out his palms and said, "Sincereness from Eslay."

   "I understand, well, I will try to advise the dwarf rune blacksmith to consider your orders more." Laylen raised his brows, he had no reason to refuse the gift of the wood elves.

  The lord of the woodlands was happy when he heard the words: "That's good, that's good, thank you Lord Lallen."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you. You know that the dwarves and your elves have a long history of grudges, and coupled with their stubborn nature, basically there is no need to discuss matters involving elves." Lailun interrupted the wood elves. Added a sentence: "I accept the gift of the Woodland Council, and I will help you once at the risk of breaking up the friendship. I have agreed in advance. As for whether the bearded person can listen to the advice, it has nothing to do with me."

   "This" the woodland lord sucked in a breath of air, Lallen's uncertain words were somewhat confusing.

   He hesitated and said, "Okay, I hope the little duo can follow the advice of Lord Lallen."

  Langni Stonehelm, as a hero under Lallen's command, of course listened to his advice, but the kingdom knight didn't want the wood elves to think that anything he came forward could easily be resolved.

  You must let others know that you have made many attempts and efforts for this, so that they feel that the cost they have paid is worth it, otherwise it is too easy to exchange for gratitude and reputation.

   "Let's go, I just happened to have some questions to ask you guys, so I said as I walked." Lailun smiled and motioned everyone to continue on their way.

Along the York River, the high temperature in midsummer has caused more rivers to flow in the central mountains, and the river water level has also risen a little. In order to prevent river flooding and flood tides, Oak Collar is building a dam at the northern branch of the York River. It is expected to be more than two months. To be completed, it is still only a prototype.

Passers-by and territorial people made way for Lallen. A group of ranger knights and the Eternal Guard walked side by side by the riverside. Nicas Francis had a strong interest in the wood elves, and was a knight trusted by Lallen, a woodland lord. Attempt to communicate with him in broken Imperial, and was more than happy to answer Nikas' questions.

   Farmers and peasant women working in the fields are afraid and wary of pointed ears. Many residents who have just settled in Oak Town have never seen a live elves, and they have always regarded pointed ears as creatures in fairy tales.

In the stories circulating in the countryside, the pointy-eared elves are always described as villains who eat the heart, liver and viscera, often kidnapping young human children and sending them to the forest as sacrifices or servants. Bad.

   Cannibalism is complete nonsense. As for the kidnapping of children, Lallen felt that this was not groundless.

   There are countless examples of lost children playing on the edge of the forest, and Imperial officials always attributed it to beastmen or other creatures, and over time, no one wanted to believe it.

The reason why the wood elves trading station is built outside the project town is to avoid disputes between elves and humans and dwarves as much as possible. Pointy-eared neighbors.

   "By the way, Olasif, you also mentioned Lauren Loren's Summer Wild Hunt. Can you talk about the goal of this Wild Hunt?" Loren held the reins in one hand and asked casually.

  The woodland lord answered bluntly: "The forest goblins of the Valley of a Thousand Eyes, and the beastmen warbands that spread across the woodlands of the southern rain zone."

"Legendary forest goblin Snagla Poison Saliva has retaken his rights to the Valley of the Thousand Eyes, and in revenge for Eslay's thwarting his evil plan to capture Duncan Castle three years ago, Snugla Poison Poison immediately launched a The Great Waaagh, which targets the Gold and Silver Sacred Tree, has about 10,000 orcs and goblins to join it. Some of the wanderers who dispatched probes reported that they found a total of three Aracrina giant spiders and hundreds of trolls. And a staggering swarm of venomous spiders, a very intractable threat."

"The Valley of a Thousand Eyes is not far from Westerland. It is inevitable that the forest goblins will loot the surrounding human villages and towns. Are you planning to unite with the merchants of Marienburg?" Lailen's mouth curled up and said, "Maybe they are very willing to spend money. Power to block the threat beyond Westland."

  "." Olasiv gave a wry smile.

  The whole old world knew that the big ditch merchants of Marienburg would never be able to withdraw a single gold coin from their unbreakable vaults unless they were in a desperate and burning crisis.

Nine years ago, Ulfric, the legendary Norsca warlord in the extreme north, led hundreds of Norsca longships south from the longship graveyard, intending to sack the Nordland and the northern part of the Knight Kingdom, the Principality of Colony. Rich Marienburg looted.

However, before Ulfric's plunderers approached the city, a caravan representing the Marinburg merchants, carrying 300,000 gold coins, more than 3,000 cattle, sheep and livestock, and valuable goods from all over the world, As well as thousands of slaves, in exchange for peace, Marienburg was spared from the war.

   Afterwards, the big trench merchants relied on raising the prices of urgently needed materials such as food and magic ore, and collected a huge sum of money, which led to a series of subsequent accusations by the empire and the direct declaration of war by the Principality of Colony.

   "What about the size of the Beastmen Warband? The Elector of Midden led the third Beastmen War. Your wild hunting should relieve a lot of pressure." Laylen mentioned another Wood Elves' enemy.

   "They are relatively small. All I can say is that your Elector did attract the attention of the Beastmen throughout the forest, but it won't last long."

The woodland lord shook his head, and he continued: "The Woodland Council is not optimistic about the strength of the human army, especially the legendary Beastmaster Kazzak One-Eyed. This dangerous and cunning beastman has deliberately set up ambush, and its war gang has done a good job in the war. Prepare, the number of horned beasts under his command exceeds 20,000, and there are many figures of Cyclops, dragon demons and Gur beasts."

   "It sounds like my elector is in a very dangerous situation." Lallen looked northwest.

   He was worried about the imperial army, but in his heart was a female elf.

  Olasif saw through Laren's thoughts and coughed deliberately: "The Queen's Maid has arrived at the capital of Lauren Loren, Thor Litanel City, it is very safe."

".That's good."

On the way, we discussed the northern war and the existing problems a little. Along the riverside of York, Laylen and others arrived at the workshop of the dwarf rune blacksmith, several dark buildings with black walls and roofs to absorb the midsummer sunshine, and inside the chimney Black smoke came out every now and then.

   The group of people stood a little further away, and they could feel a touch of dryness and heat, and the air around the building rippled due to the high temperature.

   The dwarf rune blacksmith was hammering iron tools in the blacksmith workshop. The anvil and the hammer collided, making a series of ding ding ding clang.

   The slightly rich Langoni Stone Helmet was shirtless, and the cuffs of his burlap shirt were rolled up. Every time he slammed his arm down, the strong muscles on his arms also became firmer.

  The long-bearded dwarf saw Lallen coming, he put the hammer down and laughed: "Aha! The dwarf's friend is here! Brother Lallen, welcome!"

"Hello, Mr. Langone, I wish you longer and longer beard!" Laren smiled and greeted him, one man and one dwarf reached out and shook hands, and then the Kingdom Knight turned to the group behind him: "This is Lauren Lorenzo. The woodland lord of the Forest of Ren, Olasif Piazza, and the kingdom knight Nikas Francis, you met in the battle against the Wolf Bandit."

"Oh! Kingdom Knight Nikas Francis, I like your mustache very much. Welcome to the workshop of the dwarves!" The Stonehelm clan chief ignored the pointed-eared elf. He touched the beard and greeted the latter enthusiastically. Reach out and shake hands with Nikas.

The    Wood Elf Woodland Lord looked very displeased. For the sake of Laren's presence, he was patient and did not speak in a hurry.

   "Hello, Lord Dwarf, your beard is beautiful and supple." Nikas complimented.

   His influence on Langone was profound, and the gates of the Wolf Thieves' fortress were opened by the dwarves from the inside.

"Hehe~" Langoni grinned, and in the blink of an eye, the long-bearded dwarf changed his face and glanced at Olasif, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "You guys with pointed ears are annoying! Done, the dwarves are more trustworthy than you! Go back and wait!"

  "." The woodland lord did not speak, and looked at Lallen as if asking for help.

   When has he been so unwelcome, if he can do it, Olasif will give this short stack a little color to see. ,

  Lylen glanced at Olasif with a smile, and then said: "Mr. Langone, the wood elves are also customers with oak collars, and the payment on the order is quite generous."

"Oh! Since you are the guests of Brother Lallen, I will not let your pointed ears roll away for his sake!" Langoni snorted again, compared his fists to the wood elf, and added: "Remember, you are not allowed to enter my workshop for half a step! Some of the finished products are placed on the shelf on the left, and the prices are marked. You can decide for yourself!"

   "You! Damn short stack." The eternal guard behind the woodland lord was enraged, and his teeth itch with hatred.

  The woodland lord Olasif had a gloomy face, and his face was dark all the time. He seemed to hold back the unfair treatment: "Okay, let's go and see, Lauren Loren forest urgently needs these weapons replenishment."

Although Langni Stonehelm has a bad attitude towards pointed ears, he is very efficient in his work. One-third of the order he arranged not long ago has now been completed, six hundred arrows, twenty-five cold steel longswords and three Ten pairs of Seiko breastplates, although there are still many gaps in the number, but the wood elves can't control these for the time being. They paid the follow-up deposit, hurriedly took these goods, and left.

  Lairen didn't ask any further questions, he didn't care about the survival of the pointed-eared elf.

   He will help out only for things that are good for the oak collar, and for everything else, there is absolutely no need for a warm face to a cold butt.

Similar to the wood elves heathland in the northwest of Oak Town, even if the midsummer arrives, a small number of beastmen who go south will be led away and annihilated by the wood elves stationed in the heathland, which greatly relieves the defense pressure of the outer forest. Fifteen rangers and five rangers were stationed as reinforcements and guards.

  Lairn looked at the heat in the workshop and asked with concern: "Mr. Langone, how are the preparations for the custom-made knight halberd and half-griffin armor?"

"Ah! Look at my memory! That halberd is still a few final steps away, as well as the most important halberd blade opening and inlaid runes. The material is mithril produced by Hawke, and some are mixed with it. After the gold is broken, the strength and toughness have improved a little, and it can be called an excellent weapon!"

"By the way, Brother Lallen, which two runes do you want to inlay on the halberd?" The dwarf touched his white beard: "The gift of the ancestor Granny, I have recently mastered two new runes, the Wrath Rune. and runes of speed."

   "In addition to what you have learned before, you can choose from: Power Rune, Slash Rune, Fury Rune, Speed ​​Rune, Fire Rune, you can choose two!"

  Layron thought for a while, then said solemnly: "Then choose the speed rune and the slashing rune."

"Okay, no problem!" The long-bearded dwarf patted his chest proudly, and he continued, looking distressed: "Oh, by the way, Brother Rylen, the half-griffin armor you asked for, I There's really no way to make it first! That half-griffin is alive and kicking, my moustache can't catch up with it, Grimnir's axe, I really want to hit its head with a hammer!"

   "Uh, I'll call Philnos later and try to keep it from moving."

"Respected longbearded dwarf, can I ask you to help make a rune sword?" Nikas Francis rubbed his hands and continued, "I've always wanted to have a rune weapon, so I saved up for this. A lot of money."

   "Yes, human friend, but only one rune can be inlaid." The dwarf rune blacksmith looked at him, touched his beard and said, "Have you decided which rune to inlay on the long sword?"

  Nicus Francis thought for a while: "Uh, flame rune, Beastmen are afraid of flames, and the killing effect will be better."

   "Yes, pay a deposit of 100 gold coins first! It will depend on the situation later!"

   "One hundred?!"

   Ask for tickets and subscriptions!

  It's late, it's late, Jiageng will say it in advance.
