A group of people were stationed on the long and desolate road.
Looking at the Elven Knights stationed in the distance, Ku Lu hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he made up his mind and walked forward.
As he approached, the Elven Knights in front of him also noticed this human.
"Stop!" A cold voice came from the front, accompanied by a sharp sword wind.
Standing on the main road, Ku Lu's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively felt a violent sense of danger surging from his heart. The powerful pressure coming from all directions made him, a knight, unable to raise the thought of resisting.
"It's over." In that instant, his mind went blank, and this was the only thought that flashed through his mind.
An emerald elven sword streaked past, but in the end, it did not hit Ku Lu. Instead, it fiercely slashed the ground in front of him, creating a sword mark that was several meters long.
The traces of Battle Energy did not disappear for a long time. Before Ku Lu could react, the armored Elven Knight in front of him coldly said, "If you dare to go forward again, this sword will directly hit your body."
"A Great Knight at the peak." Looking at the sword mark on the ground with his scalp numb, Ku Lu felt some lingering fear, and other thoughts even arose in his heart.
However, he was determined and did not forget his purpose for coming here.
He looked at the Elven Knight in front of him, knelt on one knee without hesitation, and sincerely requested, "Sir, I am a Knight of the Kingdom of Helu. I request to meet your master."
"I have something very important to report." Under great pressure, he braced himself and said this, hoping that the Elven Knight in front of him would let him in.
Hearing this, the Elven Knight immediately frowned.
In all fairness, he did not want this human, who looked like a tramp, to go in and talk to the people in the carriage. To him, this would pollute the faith in his heart.
However, according to the other party, he was once a Knight, and had once held a high position in a human kingdom. Perhaps he really did have some important information.
Under the observation of the Elven Knight, although the man's clothes were tattered and he looked like a tramp, there were indeed traces of training in the Knight Breathing Technique. Although he could not be sure if he had activated the Life Seed, from his current performance, he was most likely a noble.
This was also the reason why the elf knight was hesitant. If an ordinary person were in his place, he wouldn't have hesitated at all and would have chased that person out without a second word.
"Let him in."
Just as the elven knight was hesitating, a gentle voice sounded in his ear, causing his expression to change drastically.
Under Ku Lu's gaze, the Elven Knight's expression instantly became pious. Then, he looked at him. Although his voice was still cold, it was not as cold as before. "Follow me."
With that, he turned around and walked into the tent with Ku Lu.
The camp was huge, and there were elven guards patrolling it from time to time.
Looking at the camp in front of him, Ku Lu was shocked once again.
The extravagance of this camp was far beyond his imagination.
It was just a campsite, but there were thousands of armored elven guards stationed in it. Furthermore, every elf guard was wearing exquisite armor with their respective emblems embroidered on them.
This meant that these Elven Guards were not ordinary civilians. Each of them was a true member of the nobility.
Apart from that, the scene he saw in a certain training ground was even more unbelievable.
On a spacious training ground, there were hundreds of people training hard. As they waved their weapons, their bodies gradually emitted the unique pale white radiance of Qi.
"These people are all Great Knights!"
Looking at this scene, Ku Lu's heart skipped a beat, and his evaluation of the identity of the owner of the carriage in front of him became higher and higher.
"Such a luxurious army is enough to protect a prince, let alone a member of the royal family."
As he walked to the end, Ku Lu's shock grew until he was almost numb.
He thought that he was already numb, and even if a real Elven Prince appeared in front of him later, he would not be surprised at all.
However, when he walked to a certain gorgeous tent and saw a certain mark, his heart could not help but skip a beat.
It was a silver mark that was not complicated. There was a silver moon and a purple bird on it.
If an ordinary person saw this mark, they would at most think that it was beautiful and would not think of anything else.
However, as a knight and a former noble, Ku Lu knew more.
"This mark, it can't be." Looking at the silver moon and purple bird mark outside the tent, Ku Lu was completely stunned. "This is the emblem of the Orris Family!"
The Orris Family was not a powerful family. If it had been a few years ago, it would have been completely unknown. Even in the Silver Mist Forest, it would only be a small Sorcerer family, not even having an official Sorcerer, let alone in the human kingdom.
But now, this family's name was like a thunderclap in everyone's ears. As long as it was a well-informed force in Mason District, there was no one who didn't know about this family.
All of this was because an unprecedentedly terrifying Sorcerer had appeared in this family.
The Chief Elven Priest, a Level-4 Great Sorcerer, Adil Farcus.
"Come in." A voice came from inside the tent. It sounded very gentle, without the coldness and hostility of the other elves.
Hearing this order, the surrounding elves turned to look at Ku Lu, who was dressed in rags. They were a little surprised, but they still made way for him.
"This voice."
Hearing the voice, Ku Lu's heart jumped, but looking at the elven knight leading the way in front of him, he still carefully followed and walked toward the gorgeous tent in front.
Walking into the tent, there were not many people inside. Other than a few elven maids serving at the side, there was only a young man and an old man.
"What a handsome person …"
Sneaking a glance at the young man's appearance, even with Ku Lu's intelligence, he could not help but feel amazed.
The young man was sitting on a wooden chair, wearing a white robe. His appearance was exquisite and handsome, like a god. His silver hair was loose, and together with that pair of unique silver eyes, Ku Lu was even more certain of his identity.
A young man, silver hair and silver eyes, so many knights guarding, the emblem of the Orris Family …
All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind. At this moment, Ku Lu was excited, and his attitude became more and more respectful. "Lords …"
"I heard that you have something important to report." Turning around lightly, looking at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground with an incomparably respectful attitude, Adil said, "You can speak now."
After saying that, the corner of Ku Lu's mouth twitched.
How could he have anything important to report? The reason why he said that before was just to let the guards from before let him pass.
But now that the person in question had opened his mouth, he could only brace himself and explain, "Sorry, I …"
"I have already sent people to help those refugees outside." Looking at Ku Lu, Adil shook his head and directly interrupted him, "Now, answer a few questions for me."
In front of him, hearing Adil's words, Ku Lu was startled at first, but then he relaxed and said, "Lord, please ask …"
Following that, Adil asked a lot of questions.
Most of these questions were about the refugees. The questions contained all kinds of aspects, but they were not too complicated.
By the time Adil finished asking these questions, more than half an hour had passed.
After more than half an hour, looking at Ku Lu's back view as he left, Adil turned around and looked at the old man beside him. "Teacher, what do you think?"
"It's not too complicated, but it's a little troublesome." Hearing Adil's words, Ku La, who was wearing a black Sorcerer's robe, shook his head and said, "There are too many refugees, and the local Elves are very repulsed by outsiders. If we forcefully accept them, I'm afraid there will be some problems."
The Elves had a long history of repulsing outsiders.
At a certain time more than 2,000 years ago, there was a trend of capturing Elves as slaves in the Mason region. During that time, large numbers of poachers infiltrated the Silver Mist Forest and did all kinds of despicable things that made people furious and despair, causing great harm to the Elves in the Silver Mist Forest.
This situation lasted for hundreds of years, and in the end, the Elf Royal Court was forced to seal off the Silver Mist Forest and destroy the path that connected it to the outside world, completely cutting off the connection between the Silver Mist Forest and the outside world. Only then did this situation gradually decrease.
However, it was only a matter of time before it was reduced. As the Elf Royal Court sealed off the Silver Mist Forest, the price of Elven slaves in the outside world became higher and higher. Every year, countless slave hunting groups would enter the Silver Mist Forest to capture Elven slaves.
The elven race had always been traditional and closed-minded, and with the repeated slave hunting incidents, the entire elven race, regardless of whether it was nobles or commoners, had a hostile and repulsive attitude towards outsiders.
Even Adil could not change the inertia formed by this long history.
"However, even though it's troublesome, we still have to accept as many refugees as possible."
Shaking his head, Adil continued, "If you just want to stay in the Silver Mist Forest, then this situation won't be a problem. In fact, to a certain extent, it can even strengthen the cohesion of the troops."
However, if we want to unify the entire Mason region, this attitude won't do. "
He pointed at the refugees outside, "We can't kill all races apart from the Elves. That's not realistic, and it's too bloody. To us, the losses far outweigh the benefits.
Since we can't kill all the other races, sooner or later, we will have to come into contact with the outside world and build a good foundation for our future rule.
