There was a rough and simple path in the dense forest.
A group of people were walking on the path.
This was a very complicated group. Not only were there Elves, but there were also Beastmen and Humans, as well as the rare Half-Elves.
Adil and Bana were walking among them, but they were both wearing black robes and walking silently, so they didn't look too conspicuous.
Walking on the road and looking at the long path in the distance, Adil looked calm and Silent as he followed the Elven guides in front of him.
This was a small stowaway group, and it was the route that Bana had found for Adil.
The Elves were extremely xenophobic, and apart from a few people, very few people were allowed to enter the real territory of the Elves.
As for the cities on the outskirts of the Silver Mist Forest, they were only specially built by the Elves for external trade, and were not the core of the Elves.
There were very few people who were qualified to enter the Silver Mist Forest, and over time, people would naturally think of other ideas, such as smuggling.
Apart from the few Elves who were in charge of leading the way, the rest of the people in this group were stowaways.
These stowaways had different purposes, but the most important one was to secretly establish trade relations with some Elven tribes.
In the Elven Race, apart from the supreme Royal Court and a few great nobles, there were actually countless small Elven tribes.
These small tribes were usually bullied by the Elven Nobles, and most of the output of the tribes would be collected by the Elven Nobles at an extremely low price. After being transported to the cities used for trade, they would then be sold at an extremely high price to the merchants who came to do business.
In this process, the nobles naturally made a lot of money, but the small tribes that were oppressed did not have an easy time. Over time, some small tribes would secretly establish contact with some stowaways, directly bypassing the Elven nobles, and sell their own tribe's produce.
Although this way, the foreign merchants would more or less fiercely suppress the price, and they would have to take a lot of risks, the profits would undoubtedly be much better. Therefore, many small tribes would secretly do this.
Apart from the merchants who wanted to secretly establish trade points, the other main group of stowaways were the slave-catching groups supported by the nobles.
In the Silver Mist Forest, Elves were naturally worthless. However, in the human world, Elves were a symbol of beauty, and every one of them was considered valuable.
If one was lucky enough to capture a few Elven nobles with royal blood in their ancestors, they would be able to make a fortune. Many Wizards who wanted to conduct related experiments would spend magic stones to purchase them.
Thinking of this, Adil lifted his head slightly and looked to the side with the corner of his eyes.
The Moon Elves could sense that there were a few people following behind Adil. They had powerful life auras, and they were apprentice knights.
In the middle of the seven or eight apprentice knights, there were two with the strongest life force. They looked like ordinary people, but their auras were very cold and their auras were very strong.
Both of them were at the knight level. Although they weren't considered strong among knights, one could tell from some details that they were true warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles.
Without a doubt, this group of people was most likely a slave-catching group. Judging from the fact that all the members were apprentice knights, their background should not be small. It was very likely that they had a noble background.
Adil didn't want to investigate further.
With his current strength and status in the Dark Wizard Alliance, if he was willing to personally negotiate with the elves, it would not be difficult for him to enter the Silver Mist Forest through the proper channels.
However, if he did that, he would definitely attract a lot of attention. At the very least, as an elder of the Dark Wizard Alliance, he would definitely attract a lot of attention. He might even be received by a few noble elves.
However, if he did that, it would not be in line with Adil's personality. Secondly, it might not be beneficial to his purpose of coming here.
"I'll go in and see the current situation of the elves, then decide what to do next."
This thought flashed through Adil's mind as he walked on the road and looked at the dense vegetation in the distance.
Normally, the Moon God Sacrifice was an advanced meditation technique exclusive to the Moon Elves, and its complete version was most likely in the hands of the Elven Royal Court.
However, the current situation of the elves was very complicated.
Before coming here, Adil had visited a few Wizards who knew about the elves, so he had a rough understanding of the current situation of the elves.
Hundreds of years ago, the Elven Royal Court had already started to decline. It was said that not only was the power under the control of a few noble elves, but even the bloodline of the descendants was not as strong as before, so their power was continuously declining.
Although the Elven Royal Court still ruled over all the elves in name, in reality, the power of the noble elves was not any weaker than the Elven Royal Court. They were just nominally subservient to the Elven Royal Court.
If he wanted to obtain the inheritance of the elves under such complicated circumstances, he had to understand the situation well.
After walking for a while, birds gradually flew past the forest, bringing with them a wave of bird cries.
"Who is it!!" A cry of surprise suddenly came from the front.
In the vegetation, a figure flashed past, causing the expression of the elf who was leading the way to change, and he couldn't help but shout out loud.
They looked at each other, then pulled out the elven swords from their waists at the same time, and walked forward slowly with sharp eyes.
"No one?"
When they arrived and saw that there was no one in front of them, they were a bit confused, but also a bit relieved, "It should be some kind of wild beast …"
At this moment, Adil raised his head and looked in a certain direction in the distance.
Within his spirit sense, there were a few figures running wildly in the distance, and their speed was very fast.
"There's a total of 5, and they're all real Knights …"
Standing where he was, he looked into the distance and muttered to himself.
"What's wrong?"
Beside him, Barana's concerned voice sounded out.
She looked at Adil's face and asked with concern.
"It's nothing."
Shaking his head, Adil didn't say anything, but he was already prepared to leave.
The area in front of them was already within the elves' sphere of influence, and with such a close distance, there were suddenly a few Knights running away. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like a good thing.
Since those Knights were running away, it meant that there was definitely someone chasing them nearby, and the person's strength was most likely even stronger than those Knights.
Thinking to here, Adil inwardly shook his head. He just looked at the team in front of him and Barana who seemed to be at a loss, and didn't say anything.
After going through the previous episode, they didn't meet with any accidents, and they smoothly arrived at the next camp before nightfall.
There were a few very simple and crude wooden houses, and there was a lot of firewood piled up behind the wooden houses, making it look like a wooden house.
After arriving here, the elves who were leading the way started a fire to cook soup. There were also some people who walked to the side with a wooden axe that was almost rusting, looking like they were preparing to cut some firewood for the next trip.
Not long later, a bowl of steaming hot soup was served. There were some wild vegetables and bread crumbs in the soup, and it tasted pretty good.
At night, outside of a few wooden houses that occupied a relatively large area, Adil sat alone on a white rock, looking at the moon in Silence.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, scattering down strands of silver moonlight, shining on Adil's body, drawing out a long shadow.
Low insect cries could be heard from the vegetation nearby, as well as the low howls of wild beasts.
Sitting on the white rock, Adil even saw a few wild wolves pass by, each of them more than a meter tall, with a faint light in their eyes.
After seeing Adil, these wild beasts didn't take the initiative to approach him. Instead, they seemed to sense something, and they all left Adil's surroundings.
"You're out too."
Sitting on a rock, Adil opened his eyes at a certain moment and spoke without turning his head around.
Behind him, there was a black-robed girl standing behind him. She didn't seem to mind his words, "Your senses are still so sharp."
"You're not going to rest?"
Adil looked at Barana and said, "I'll be fine here."
"I don't want to live with those stinky people."
Barana seemed to be a bit bored and asked, "Where's that Half-Beastman who stood guard with you?"
"I hypnotized him and sent him to stay with the others."
Adil's expression didn't change as he calmly spoke.
Under the illumination of the silver moonlight, his appearance changed somewhat.
In order to not attract too much attention, he had used the jade mark on his body to change his appearance, making him look like a normal human.
And now, his appearance had once again returned to his original appearance.
His black hair was loose, and his face was extremely handsome. His pure eyes were looking up at the moon in the sky, and a calm and peaceful aura emanated from his body. Even Bana, who was standing to the side, could not help but be stunned.
However, she quickly reacted and looked at Adil as she sighed, "You don't look like a Half-Elf at all; you look like a noble Elf with a noble bloodline."
She looked at Adil's handsome and delicate face, as well as his slightly pointy ears, and sighed with some envy.
"Perhaps."
Adil did not comment on her words and did not say anything.
Strictly speaking, after transforming into the Moon Elf bloodline, he was no longer a Half-Elf but a pure-blooded Elf. Even his appearance had changed greatly.
His Elf characteristics had become much more obvious, even under the suppression of the jade mark. Just looking at him made him look a bit too handsome.
However, Adil didn't care about this.
As if sensing something, he silently stood up from where he was and looked in a certain direction in the distance, not saying a word.
