Chapter 38 The Forbidden Land of Elves
"The royal city of the high elves?" Nangong Gui touched his chin: "This is fine! It just so happens that we have a delegation tomorrow, and it is also a caravan. We want to go to the royal city of the high elves to do business... If you are convenient, you can go with the group!"
"Then the relationship is good!" Zhao Qiankun laughed: "Then show me the map first?"
Nangong Gui immediately ordered. After a while, the staff brought several stacks of book books. After expanding it, each page was a detailed map. The original continent covers a vast area, and is afraid that it is tens of millions of square kilometers, so the accuracy of a map is definitely not enough. The Nangong family's hundreds of years of exploration and collection have divided the entire continent into many large areas, each large area and small area. From the overview of the mainland to the subdivision of the small maps of each area, there are hundreds of pictures. Ordinary people have to read them carefully, and it will take several days to finish them.
Zhao Qiankun wiped his hands and directly opened the overview of the top continent. The outline of the entire primitive continent was clearly visible, and most places were clearly marked, but there were still several areas that were blank!
"We have not been able to explore the entire continent either..." Nangong Gui said embarrassedly: "After all, the primitive continent is too big and too dangerous. There are many taboo places of ancient civilizations that cannot be violated. It is not easy for us to get such a detailed map..."
Zhao Qiankun nodded and greeted Lilith: "Depending on your feeling, where is the part about?"
Lilith raised her head and seemed to be searching for directions. After a moment, she pointed to a direction and said, "About 2,000...more than 2,200 kilometers!"
"Two thousand two hundred kilometers..." Zhao Qiankun found the right direction and found his current location on the map. According to the scale, he extended two thousand two hundred kilometers away. Finally, he pointed in a blank space.
"Here..." Zhao Qiankun frowned.
Nangong Gui, who was standing beside him, looked over and said, "Mr. Zhao is going to go here?"
Zhao Qiankun nodded: "There is no deviation here, not far away, why haven't you explored it?"
"Mr. Zhao doesn't know anything..." Nangong Gui pointed out on the map and explained: "Look, this is the royal city of the high elves! And here is the Dark elves' capital's large crypt! And this blank place is in the center of the connection between the two elves' capitals!"
Zhao Qiankun's eyes rolled: "Is this the forbidden land of the elves?"
"To be precise, it is an ancient royal city!" Nangong Gui explained: "You should have heard that dark elves and high elves, including forest elves, are actually of the same clan and the same origin, right?"
Zhao Qiankun nodded, which was recorded in many history books.
"In fact, these subspecies of the elves are just like several human races. Orientals, Westerners, and wildernesses have their own specialties and different appearances, but in the final analysis, they are still the same race... Thousands of years ago, all these elves lived together harmoniously. Among the settlements of elves, the high elves lived in the cities on the ground, and were the best warriors and magicians; the dark elves lived in the palaces on the ground, and were the most powerful assassins and shadow hunters; while the forest elves lived in the jungle around the city, and were the keenest scouts and archers. The three tribes supported each other, cooperated and got along very harmoniously..."
"But later, because of the demon invasion a thousand years ago, when fighting against the demon tide, the opinions of several major elves had different opinions... In fact, it was mainly between the high elves and the dark elves. The former advocated fighting against the demons on the front battlefield and defending their homes, while the latter suggested giving up the ground buildings, and all the elves moved to the underground, using tunnels and bunkers as bases to counterattack the demons!"
"It makes sense..." Zhao Qiankun nodded: "I'll play tunnel battle a thousand years ago. These dark elves are quite creative!"
"Originally, this is just a very ordinary tactical discussion..." Nangong Gui continued: "But who knew that the demons had already secretly penetrated into the top leaders of the elf clan, fanned the flames in the debate, used magic to confuse the mind, and corrupted the senior figures of the elf clan. In the end, the debate turned into war. Before the demon army could attack, a war broke out between the high elves and the dark elves!"
"When the war was at its most intense time, the demons suddenly appeared, attacked and captured the elf king city of Elfia, which destroyed this beautiful city. The high elves and the dark elves parted ways and fought each other. Until the end, with the help of Emperor Yuser, they drove away the demons and re-established their homes. The former site of Elfia became the forbidden area of the two tribes, and no one else was allowed to get close to them..."
"Of course, you can't get close even if you want to get close..." Nangong Gui shrugged: "I heard that the elves were expected to regain Elfia back then, but a demon king of the demon clan released a vicious curse to the city when he retreated. All creatures entering its range would be infected and turned into terrible monsters, so it also became a cursed place... Mr. Zhao, what are you going to do there?"
Zhao Qiankun frowned: "I want to find something...but that thing should be lost after the devil retreated, so how could it enter there?"
"This is normal..." Nangong Gui explained: "The forbidden area always has a devilish temptation for people. For thousands of years, some ignorant guys have sneaked into the adventure, even hoping to find the treasures of the ancient elf royal city, but no one has left alive... Maybe it was brought in by some unlucky explorer?"
Zhao Qiankun raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean is this place is amazing?"
"I know you have great supernatural powers and are not comparable to ordinary adventurers..." Nangong Gui advised: "But this place is indeed evil and dangerous. I advise you that if it is not something important, don't let this muddy water..."
Zhao Qiankun touched his chin, but he was not worried about curses or anything else. However, if he followed the Nangong family's mission to the royal city of the high elf and went to the forbidden area, if he was caught and appeared, wouldn't it be nice to the Nangong family?
But on the other hand, without passing through the Nangong family, he was asked to kill directly to the royal city? He didn't know any high elf, and he made any misunderstandings, and it was also very troublesome to fight...
"Let's do this!" Zhao Qiankun suggested: "Tomorrow I'll follow your caravan and go to the royal city of the high elf first!"
