Chapter 24: Luo Geshanni (2)

"Dear Lord of the Giant Snake City, Hydra Knight, and Liberator of the Elf Slave, Lord Jones Dragura, when you choose to liberate the slave and become a friend of the Blood Elf, you have already obtained the qualification to enter and exit Luo Gexian freely. Not only Luo Gexian, but also the holy land of the Blood Elf, and the Shenmu Library will be open to you."

"Is that?" Jones was slightly surprised.

"Of course, your name has already reached the Queen's ears." Daliana said respectfully: "When you know you are coming, the Queen is also looking forward to it. She specially instructed Connelia to be responsible for receiving you. You must know that the Queen has almost never given such an order to outsiders."

Jones' expression froze clearly: "Is that?"

Daliana seemed to have not noticed the change in Jones' expression at all, and then said, "It must have been a hard work for you to come from afar. We should have arranged for you to rest as soon as possible. However, you are a blood clan. We heard that the blood clan cannot move during the day, so our suggestion is to go directly to the holy land. In this way, Lord Conelia can see you earlier."

As she said that, she turned sideways and stood aside, making a "please" gesture.

What she refers to is of course the unicorn wearing a saddle not far behind her.

There were seven unicorns in total, and several of them were tied together. Depending on the situation, they were all brought by Daliana and Jais.

"Maybe... something is wrong," Jones stammered.

"Is there a problem?" Daliana's eyes widened in confusion.

"Yes." Turning back, Jones looked at the wooden rack where the airship was docking. On the wooden rack, the followers were moving things down boxes after boxes. Those were luggage from the group, and gifts for the Blood Elves: "Maybe we need a carriage, or a few."

"But we didn't prepare a carriage..." After hesitating, Daliana looked at Jais on the side and said, "Or why don't you and the entourage of the Hydra Knight's entourage set off later, and would you prepare a carriage for them?"

"Okay." Jais bowed slightly and bowed to his agreement.

"Is this OK? Lord Hydra Knight." Daliana looked at Jones again.

"Yes, of course." Jones nodded awkwardly.

Daliana walked to the distance and was about to lead the unicorn, while Jaiss and Jones interspered and walked towards the entourage carrying luggage on the wooden rack, leaving Jones and his team standing in a daze.

Dora whispered: "They were unexpectedly friendly, maybe our trip will go well?"

"I don't think so." Jones lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you find that there are only two people who pick us up? Where can we go to welcome us? Also, he said the Queen is looking forward to our arrival, but she did not even show up in the port in person. Don't you think this is very different from her kind attitude towards us?"

As he said that, Jones and Dora looked at Belle next to him.

"You will get used to it soon." Belle spread her hands.

"What are you used to?" Dora asked.

Belle rolled her eyes and said, "Accustomed to the arrogance of the elves. I have been to Luo Gexian three times, this is the highest-standard one in my memory. They actually arranged a unicorn for us."

"Is it very high specification if a unicorn is arranged?"

"Of course. Haven't you noticed that those unicorns are much taller than what we saw on the Colin Peninsula? They are purebred unicorns. Purebred unicorns are only available in the Forest of Elf, and they are holy beasts shared by the blood elves and wood elves. Under normal circumstances, they will not let others ride them. Especially when you are still a blood clan, it is even more impossible. Anyway, this is my third time, and I haven't ridden them once before. Also, look at the badge on her arm."

Jones glanced at Daliana, who was untiing the reins from a distance.

"Did you see the clover on her arm?"

"See it."

"That represents her position in the elves."

Jones looked back at Jais on the other side: "His is Yiye."

"Yes. One-leaf clover, three-leaf clover, five-leaf clover, seven-leaf clover, nine-leaf clover, the more leaves, the higher the status."

"Why are they all odd?"

"I don't know this." Belle sighed and continued, "I only know that ordinary elves do not have a leaf. A leaf clover means that he is at least at the level of the deputy captain of the guard, while Sanye is at the level of the captain of the guard. The highest we can see before was Sanye clover. This time, Sanye clover can come to pick you up, which means they still attach great importance to it. By the way, the queen is Seven-leaf clover."

"Uh... the Queen is the Seven-leaf Crocus? Then who is the Nine-leaf Crocus?"

"The great priest. The great priest is the person with the highest status in the elves. However, we probably won't see him."

As he was speaking, Daliana had already brought seven unicorns over and handed one of the reins to Jones, then Dora and Belle. When it was William's turn, her face looked slightly strange, but she still handed it over.

Leave one for himself, and the other two for the two blood clan followers who were accompanying him.

"You are all knights, so you should all ride horses, right? Unicorns are very docile and should be much easier to ride than horses."

"certainly."

After a brief rectification, the group set out to the south while the night was at the beginning.

Of course, Jones and his party would do it, except for William. Perhaps because the undead aura on his body was too strong, the unicorn was born to resist him. As soon as he rode on, the unicorn began to get restless. However, after suppressing the unicorn aura, it was nothing.

In fact, it’s not only William, but others are the same. Daliana specifically reminded: “Unicorns are semi-magical creatures and are resistant to negative energy, such as dark magic and undead magic. I know that the blood clan also has these two kinds of magic power, so I hope everyone can restrain the magic fluctuations in their bodies. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to the unicorn’s performance.”

"What to play?" Jones asked in confusion.

After all, they are now riding on unicorns and are free to control them. It is indeed not much different from horses.

"For example, such a control." Daliana turned the direction of the unicorn she was riding and introduced to everyone: "You are like me, shake the reins, then hold the abdomen of the unicorn, and then..."

Before he could finish his words, everyone had already seen Daliana rushing out on a unicorn, like a gust of wind, even faster than Jones's flying into a bat!

Not only that, there was also a circle of obvious light magic around the unicorn, such as magic shields such as some kind of magic.

Those present, both Jones and Dora, were stunned. Even William was the same, except for Belle, who had seen him a long time ago.

It took a while for Daliana to run back on the unicorn. When she was about to reach Jones, she kicked the reins hard, and the unicorn jumped up her front hooves like a horse, neighed, and then stopped.

The light magic that enveloped Daliana instantly dissipated, and everything changed back to its original state.

After a breath of relief, Daliana smiled and said to Jones, "It's probably that's it. The way of driving is not very different from that of a horse. It's just a few details."

Looking at the stunned look on everyone's face, Daliana said proudly: "It is impossible to shoot through the unicorn's shield without magical arrows. This is equivalent to a four-level shield, and some unicorns can even reach the sixth level."

That expression was quite flaunting.

Dora whispered: "Master Jones, maybe we can buy some unicorns and form a powerful Knights. Aunt Irene and Uncle Benedict will definitely need it."

As soon as these words came out, Daliana's face changed on the spot. Before Jones could speak, she said coldly: "Miss Dora, this joke is not funny."

"What's wrong?" Jones asked.

Daliana said seriously: "Unicorns are treasures of the elves, and any other race is forbidden to own them. Just smuggling unicorns is a death sentence in Logosini. So, Miss Dora, I hope that this joke will not be made again in the future."

"I'm sorry, Dora apologizes to you." Dora lowered her head.

In this way, Daliana's expression calmed down a little.

"I think Dora is not joking, but in fact, I think so too. If I hadn't agreed not to speak, I would have said it first than Dora." William's voice rang in Jones' mind.

"I know." He responded to William softly, and Jones bowed slightly to Logosini and said, "I apologize to you for Dora's words."

"Forget it, let's forget the unpleasant things. You are a distinguished guest of our elves." Daliana said with a smile on her shoulder.

"I really didn't see where she treated us as distinguished guests, really." William complained quietly in Jones's mind.

By this time, no matter how stupid he was, Jones had realized the difficulty of this trip.

Belle whispered to Jones: "Now you understand why you have to negotiate for half a year when you meet? My father tried his best, but the elves are really... too weird."

Under the leadership of Daliana, everyone set out. They activated the power of the unicorn and galloped along the long forest path south of the port. The speed was indeed as fast as the wind.

Although Jones is not an ordinary human, and after becoming a bat, his speed is no longer much slower than that of a unicorn, it seems that he is still not very fast moving forward in the forest like this.

The surrounding scenery swept back quickly, almost to the point where people were blinding. Looking around, it seemed that only their companions and the silver moon in the sky were left. Because the speed was too fast and the distance between the surrounding trees was too close, it even made people feel like they would bump into it by accident. Fortunately, unicorns knew how to dodge themselves, otherwise they would be exhausted if they concentrated on controlling the unicorn for a few hours.

Along the way, Daliana always ran beside Jones in a unicorn, explaining Jones the next itinerary in detail.

"We are expected to arrive in the sanctuary Cartier before dawn. We have arranged a special residence for the Knight Hydra, where there is no sunshine even during the day, so you can feel at ease and not have any concerns. After arriving, you can take a short rest during the day. Lord Cornelia will come to your residence during the day to meet you. You can talk to her about what you want to talk to. I know that you are here this time to reach some agreement. You can tell Lord Cornelia that she will convey it to His Highness the Queen for you."

"Why don't you let me talk to the Queen directly? If she had to decide on this matter, wouldn't it be more appropriate for me to talk to her directly?" Jones asked.

"That's impossible, Lord Hydra Knight. The Queen will not see you until you determine your general intention. Moreover, although the Queen is the one who can finally decide on this matter, the specific implementation will be Lord Cronia. It will be no harm to you when it comes to contact with Lord Cronia."

"Do you know what I'm going to talk about?"

"I don't know, but as far as I know, it will not be easy to achieve. Connelia is the most enlightened among the consuls. If you can't even convince Lord Connelia, then you must not convince His Highness. Of course, there may be miracles, maybe, after all, you have the reputation of the elf slave liberator."

"It sounds very bad, really." William whispered in Jones's mind: "She actually used the word 'persuasion', making it seem like we benefited unilaterally, purely because we were asking them. I already had a hunch that it would be a problem."

"I also find it difficult to do, Lord Jones," said Dora. "She just convinced you to describe the Queen as a 'miracle', which means they are not ready to reach an agreement with us at all."

"Actually, it's normal when dealing with blood elves. If you get more contact, you will find more weird things." Belle said in Jones' mind: "The easiest person to reach an agreement in the world is always merchants. After all, merchants must reach an agreement to make a profit. The difference is nothing more than who makes a profit. But elves are different, they have no business thinking at all. This situation has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is possible to exchange them for something very valuable at a low price. The disadvantage is that you may not be able to communicate with them at all.

Not to mention reaching an agreement. My father has been in trade with them for thousands of years, and during this period they have changed four queens. However, on the one hand, he firmly controls the blood clan's trade channels for blood elves, but on the other hand, he has never developed any friendship with them. You deal with a person's great-grandfather, his grandfather, his father, and now you deal with him again... However, in fact, you are not familiar with him at all. It sounds incredible, but the relationship between father and blood elves is indeed like this. Maybe we will become like this."

Jones was a little discouraged by these words.

What he encountered was indeed a headache-inducing race. However, there seemed to be no other way except to talk to them carefully. After all, the only one known on the entire continent was that they had mineral veins. Even the rough stones Jones used to test were brought back by Belle's father from Logosini.
