In fact, when he left, he only wanted to get away from Pilsen City and didn't have any plans for where to go. He just grabbed the biggest path and walked down it. Then … it was awkward.
He agreed to sell browser magic stones to the Maze Society of Sorcerers before he was seriously injured. In the month he was seriously injured, there were many changes in the world because of it. In particular, the users of the forum showed explosive growth. It gave people the feeling that the Society of Sorcerers everywhere was ready and waiting.
As for what they were waiting for? It couldn't be that someone agreed to set up a fund so that the various places could be freed from the intellectual property rights of the Maze version. Maybe only a few branch presidents put a bounty on someone's head. But now it seemed that everyone was waiting for this result.
It didn't matter what the people involved originally thought about the matter that had been resolved. With the explosive growth of the forum's users, it naturally brought several times more news to this maze version of the virtual platform.
The first to be impacted was actually Kaya's forum indexing program. The original intention of this program was to integrate related topics and organize them according to their relevance. But now, it was necessary to create an index for the two index clouds of people and events. Otherwise, other than the search function, there would be too many things to see if one wanted to directly look at recent events in chronological order.
The reason why he was so concerned about this function designed by Kaya was that even if he didn't care about current affairs, he still read the saying in Sun Tzu's Art of War, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in a hundred battles." There was no harm in trying to understand the general situation of the place he was going to.
But it would have been better if he didn't read it. After painstakingly guiding the black-haired, brown-skinned girl to adjust the forum indexing program and reading the forum reviews along the way, a certain someone wanted to take a detour.
The "arrogance" of the elves was even more exaggerated than the rumors that a certain someone had heard in the tavern.
The Kingdom of Paiat Haimei was actually a small city-state with a small population, most of which were concentrated in the capital. However, the area was not small. It contained several high-quality grain producing areas and many minerals. Among them, there were also some precious metal mines.
The kingdom was established after the fall of the Elven Empire in the past and a few elves who still had strength migrated here. At that time, this place was far away from the development of traditional civilization. It was considered a wilderness. After that, the human dynasty quietly developed, but in the dark age of a certain demon king, the kingdom was destroyed once. After welcoming the light, the survivors returned to their original location to rebuild their kingdom.
The resilience of a race and country that had experienced turmoil was not something that ordinary emerging countries could compare to. Compared to the romanticism of the Elves, if one were to study the current national policies of the Elven Kingdom, one would find that they were more pragmatic than many human countries.
Let's not talk about anything else, just the dark years of the elves. They were like beasts, constantly hunted by other races, and countless half-elves were born. The few elven kingdoms that had survived that period of time had all used real swords to fight for their own pure lands.
The price of being peace-loving was either being bullied by others or being so ruthless that no one dared to bully you. The existing Elven Kingdoms all walked the latter path.
The entire nation had a ruthless personality, and they were naturally stronger than the other races. It was not hard to imagine how arrogant this race would be.
As long as a stranger approached them, they would first suspect whether the person approaching them had bad intentions. If there was any unruly behavior, they would first kill and then investigate. If they accidentally killed someone, they would be considered unlucky. Anyway, within their territory, if they had the guts to pull an army to discuss with them which was more important, sovereignty or human rights.
As for the resources in their territory, for a race that had more druids than mages, they were extremely protected and limited. Even if it was a blade of grass, a tree, a rabbit, a magical beast, if adventurers outside the kingdom dared to come, they would all be treated as poachers and robbers. Moreover, it was the only death sentence.
Even magical beasts that did not have the concept of Homo sapiens ran outside the kingdom and ate people. Avengers who crossed the border to hunt down magical beasts would also be treated as poachers, and the consequences were self-evident.
For travelers, if they wanted to pass through the territory of the Elven Kingdom, it was best to ensure that they had enough dry food and water. Not to mention the act of wanting to catch some small animals for dinner, sometimes drinking a mouthful of water would cause problems.
Under such circumstances, the few borders that bordered the territories of other countries naturally had endless disputes. The Elven Kingdom, on the other hand, had an attitude of breaking arms and breaking legs. They stubbornly maintained the integrity of the kingdom's territory and protected the people and resources in the territory.
Therefore, the so-called "peace-loving" of the elves actually meant that they would not attack the other party, but they would ask the other party to take a detour when they saw the other party. It would be best if the two sides never interacted with each other.
It was precisely because the entire country's attitude was so unyielding that Selina wanted to find a way around this troublesome country from the map for the sake of less trouble. Although in her group, there was a demon king who had destroyed this kingdom once, and it didn't feel that it would be difficult to do the same thing a second time.
Even if she was all alone now, with only two or three kittens by her side, to destroy a country by herself … it was better not to think about whether she could do it. Because a certain someone didn't know to what extent the Lich's research had improved the Lich. Therefore, the only thing she could do to make up for it now was to try not to give this person a chance to go crazy.
It was just that the heavens always did not listen to one's wishes …
The fork in the road that would allow them to bypass the Kingdom of Paiat Haimei was just ahead. But just as they made a smooth turn and headed in the direction away from the troublesome kingdom, a team of luo bird knights surrounded the two carriages.
A certain someone who had been staying in the carriage and studying the map and information from various places, planning their next move, noticed that the carriage had stopped, and after hearing the loud shouts from outside, he secretly prepared himself before coming down from the rear carriage. The first thing she saw was a flock of blue-feathered luo birds with the same fur color. It was quite eye-catching.
It must be noted that luo birds were magical beasts. Except for the fact that they couldn't pull carriages and goods, they could easily carry heavy knights on long-distance raids. Their endurance could be said to be the best among all conventional war mounts. To put it simply, it was impossible to escape from a knight riding a luo bird with only two ordinary horses pulling the carriage.
Although luo birds were good at running, they could still fly short distances at low altitudes or glide to the ground from high altitudes with all their might. It could be said that they were excellent war mounts with no shortcomings. In terms of the difficulty of keeping them in captivity, they were much harder than ordinary war horses. It was even more impossible for ordinary organizations and forces to choose horses with the same fur color and body shape.
Regardless of the feelings of envy and jealousy that were similar to those on Earth when they saw piles of luxury cars of the same model and color on patrol, the armor on these knights was also very interesting.
Except for one of them, the armor of the others was obviously standard equipment. Everyone had the same gorgeous appearance. Behind this gorgeous appearance, there was a silent killing intent. Some people would criticize the elves' equipment for being flashy, but those people usually saw elf-style armor made by human nobles, the kind that only scratched the surface.
The gorgeous patterns and colors of real elven equipment were the combination of real magic patterns and magic materials. It was of a completely different level from the commonly known enchanted equipment. In terms of armor, they only pursued stronger defensive power and lighter weight in order to achieve better flexibility. In terms of weapons, they were more durable, sharper, and so on. They constantly pursued higher destructive power.
The elves would not add some strange magic to their weapons and equipment. They only wanted to rely on surprise to defeat the enemy. In terms of melee combat, they pursued better equipment and better martial arts. The former was only to constantly enhance the attack power and defense power, while the latter was purely to hone one's skills.
It was impossible for a small second-rate or third-rate organization to have such a standard equipment and achieve mass production. As for the person wearing the unique armor, it was even more impressive. Even a layman could tell that the level of the armor was a level higher than that of the others. It even faintly exuded the aura of magical power.
Is this the regular army of the Kingdom of Petra Haimei? Did I stray into their territory?
If it was a foreigner who did not have a geographical concept, he might be intimidated by this battle array, but Marco Lin was very sure that he had not entered the territory of the kingdom.
The difference between the mysterious land and Earth was that there were still gaps between some countries. It was not that people did not want to occupy it, but before they could do so, they had to first deal with the natural creatures entrenched in it, including the king-level magical beasts. The power that the mysterious land had developed to this day was still unable to surpass the powerful creatures that existed in nature.
Apart from the boundary markers, most countries chose to use natural lines such as rivers, mountains, and the edge of forests to mark their borders. The border of the Kingdom of Petra Haimei in this direction was a valley that led to the interior of the kingdom. As a terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was an important place that all forces wanted to occupy.
This also meant that if one walked in this direction and did not enter the valley, they would not be considered to have entered the territory of the Kingdom of Petra Haimei. So, what were these people doing here? But he had never heard of the elves acting as bandits and robbers to rob people.
Someone who got out of the car and looked at the knights. They spoke in the elven language in a very soft voice. Lin said in the common language of the mysterious land, "Everyone, I don't think we have invaded your territory yet."
"Of course you haven't. This is an unclaimed territory, and my main goal is to find you. "The one who also spoke in the common language was the camel knight who was wearing a particularly gorgeous armor. It was a female voice, and it sounded familiar.
