Chapter 311: The Elf Team Fights Eternal Alone at the Engagement Ceremony (4000!!!)
The elf's field team looked a little gloomy.
Because this elf, who should be working as a maid in the tavern, is very tight-lipped and refuses to say anything.
However, they did not make things difficult for their own people.
As a field team that is often on the go, they have a wide range of knowledge. They have also seen some elves who have climbed up the high branches of human nobility and are unwilling to return to the Elf Forest.
Maybe ordinary elves don’t have a very good life in the elf village.
But they were powerless to do anything about it. They were warriors and had no right to criticize the administration of the Elf Royal Court.
After stuffing a few gold coins into the elf maid's pocket, the field team set off.
Although the elf maid didn't say anything, they had already guessed it.
In the area above the cliff, there is now a lively atmosphere.
They were ready to head upstairs.
Despite their disguise, they still tried to choose routes with fewer people.
Vanilla is of the elven royal blood. According to their information, Vanilla is also quite beautiful, and is probably taken over by the local lord.
They just hope that Vanilla's ideas will not be the same as that of the elf maid, otherwise it will be difficult for them to explain when they go back.
After the elf team checked their weapons and equipment and confirmed the escape route, they set off.
The road leading to the upper level is much more heavily guarded.
There are only two ways to go to the upper level, one is the stone stairs and the gentle slope next to the stone stairs, and the other is an elevator.
There are many soldiers guarding the elevator, so it would take a lot of noise to break through.
As for the wide stone steps, it is also difficult to walk on, because it is in full view and there is no obstruction. If you walk on it, you will definitely be discovered.
Is it just a matter of breaking through by force?
The elf field team is very elite, and basically all of them are senior professionals. Generally speaking, it is very easy for a team of senior professionals to carry out this kind of mission.
However, seeing the prosperity at the foot of the mountain made this team of elves realize that the lord here must be no simple figure.
If this lord also had a few high-level professional guards to delay them, and by the time the lord's army surrounded them, not to mention saving people, their team might even lose several elves' lives.
What a hassle.
The elf team looked around and found that the location of this lord's administrative center was really excellent. If they wanted to go from the holiday villa to the upper level, they had to pass through a very conspicuous section of road, and this section of road was heavily guarded and there were people patrolling constantly.
There was absolutely no place to sneak through.
The leader of the Elf Team said: "It seems there is no other way, let's break through by force."
This elven field team is basically composed of rangers and thieves, as well as a few elven mages.
After the elven wizard cast silence, the thieves and rangers attacked.
Then they discovered that one of the two guards guarding the upper door was actually a senior professional.
This forced the captain of the elf team to re-evaluate the strength of this lord.
Although the location of this gate is crucial, isn't it a bit of a waste to let a senior professional guard it?
Fortunately, they were numerous and the silencing spell they cast ahead of time prevented the noise from getting too serious.
But they didn't kill anyone either.
As a field team that is often outside, they know very well that whether they kill someone or not will result in completely different intensity of pursuit afterwards.
Their goal is to complete the mission and retreat.
After forcing their way through the gate with their large numbers, they saw giant stone pillars with many names written on them.
Further ahead is the lord's hall which looks very lively.
A giant bone snake with many cracks is coiled above the lord's hall.
The overall style seems to be between wildness and luxury.
Or is it just wild style luxury?
But this is not important, they saw the target of this trip at the door.
(#%……&) Vanilla, although her line of succession is very, very late, she is of the royal blood of the elves after all.
Living abroad is tantamount to bringing disgrace to the Elf King's court.
However, it seems that this human lord does not know the elf's bloodline and actually arranged Vanilla to be a receptionist at the door of the lord's hall.
This just makes their work easier.
…
At the same time, Rand and Ellie came to the banquet center of the lord's hall.
Waiters in suits and white gloves served wine on silver trays and ice in goblets.
Crystal chandeliers, parquet wooden tables and chairs, the sweet smell of fruit, hard-soled leather boots, backless evening gowns, a band in the corner, and slightly swaying skirts.
The band sometimes played cheerful dance music and sometimes played hymn-style music.
Many small nobles in the surrounding areas who had good relations with Rand were invited, which made them flattered.
The young Earl of Green Leaf also came, but the Earl of Stag did not come. Shelan left all the work of pioneering the territory to his father and came here to study, so the Earl of Stag became busier and busier.
The participants of this engagement ceremony were basically students from the church school at the foot of the mountain, nearby nobles, and people with a little status in Rand's sphere of influence.
In terms of specifications alone, there is a strong sense of division. There are characters like Bishop Kahn and the Crimson King, as well as ordinary adventurers.
However, Rand felt very comfortable in this environment. As for the truly high standards, he would have to wait until the wedding. By then, the White King might be present, as well as the King of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
It will be even more tense then than it is now.
As soon as the male and female protagonists of the engagement ceremony appeared on the stage, everyone's eyes were focused on them.
In addition to Earl Lander, whom they were already familiar with, there was also Prince Ellie, who they thought they were quite familiar with.
Some of the guests at this conference had worked in the administrative office building.
Now tell them that their immediate superior is sometimes actually the prince of the White Country? This is too outrageous and magical.
And in the past, due to the mysterious relationship between Ellie and Rand, many people did not dare to look directly at Ellie's face.
Now Ellie wore an elaborate evening gown, accessorized with high-end jewelry that these guests had almost never seen before.
Ellie's beauty overwhelmed the entire engagement ceremony venue.
Except for Rand, who was also very heroic at this time.
Rand felt that the dress was a bit too tight, but it did fit his own aesthetic, and such a ceremony required solemnity.
Now serious, heroic, and youthful, Rand is also novel.
Because in normal times, most of the time, Rand personally did the work and commanded in various places. Although his image was not bad, it was still far from the "perfection" at this time.
At this moment, Karin, who had one hand on her chest and the other holding the brim of her detective hat, looked outside the door of the lord's hall.
Bishop Kahn also looked over, his face twitching.
Lysa covered her mouth and chuckled.
Elsa was stunned.
Olenna's face darkened.
Ellie blinked.
Rand also felt it.
Blessing 6 The favor of the Torch Goddess has been upgraded due to the last massacre. Although Rand has not yet specifically tested which aspect has been upgraded, the range and accuracy of perception have indeed increased.
There seemed to be a stranger outside. Judging from his speed, he should be a senior professional, but it was hard to tell whether he was evil or kind.
…
When they rushed to the door of the lord's hall, the elf team felt that their mission was about to be completed.
The situation was too urgent now, so they didn't have time to ask Vanilla for her opinion.
But since you're doing a job like a receptionist, I guess your life won't be very good.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Just when the elf team rushed to Vanilla and planned to kidnap her.
A black-haired girl wielding two pitch-black daggers suddenly appeared in front of them.
The black-haired girl's hair didn't even move much, as if she had actually moved in front of them in an instant, rather than running over using some kind of pace.
Moreover, the black-haired girl did not make any sound when she came in front of them.
Without a doubt, he is a top-level professional! "Damn it." He is actually a top-level professional, the captain of the elf team cursed inwardly, but they have more people, if they make some sacrifices, they still have a chance to take Vanilla away.
They have a team of twelve people. If the top professionals are well prepared, they will have a chance to surround and kill them, although the probability is not very high.
But if we sacrifice a few people now, maybe we can delay it.
Now it seems that sacrifice is inevitable. After all, the royal blood elves are much nobler than them.
But looking at the situation of the elf maid, even if she was caught, she might not have a bad life as a slave here. I hope the lord here is a kinder person.
Then a strange man wearing a tall hat, a coat and a cane in his hand slowly walked out from the lord's hall.
Next, there was an old man whose hair was a mixture of black and white, but he looked very strong and seemed relatively young overall.
Then Rand and Ellie came out to watch.
Lisa didn't come out, she just watched from a distance.
Olenna had a rare stern face, her arm resting on the swift sword at her waist, ready to teach these uninvited guests a lesson at any time, thinking that it was too much to interfere with Ellie's engagement ceremony.
Rand and Ellie were not angry. They thought this farce was quite interesting.
They all looked like elves with pointy ears. Could they be here to save Vanilla? Vanilla knew the captain of the field team. This captain was a good elf. Vanilla wanted to go outside the Elf Forest and take a look, partly because of her influence.
In the past, this elf field captain often told her about the evil of humans and the changes in the outside world.
But Vanilla knew they were finished.
The elf field team is composed entirely of powerful senior professionals, but Vanilla is quite clear about what kind of people their opponents are.
They were doomed. Vanilla wanted to plead for them, but she didn't know how to say it.
The captain of the elf field team held the longbow tightly in her hand. Except for the assassin wielding dual daggers standing in front of her, she couldn't judge the combat effectiveness of other people too quickly.
Her decision was to sacrifice herself and try to stop the rogue-turned-assassin herself, while arranging for the rest of the team to rescue Vanilla.
Because the assassin in front of her put too much pressure on her, she couldn't pay attention to see whether the other team members had completed their tasks, nor did she have the heart to observe the people gradually walking out of the lord's hall.
The captain of the elf field team drew his bow and shot a smoke arrow at the ground. If his teammates succeeded, they should be able to escape under the cover of the smoke.
Then she felt a chill in her lower body, and then she saw the assassin opposite her return a piece of cloth to her with a strange look on his face, and said something inexplicable: "How could this happen? Why didn't you steal the smoke arrow?"
Fortunately, the smoke arrow was successfully fired, and a large amount of gray-black smoke appeared on the scene.
For her part, she made no attempt to escape.
She knew she couldn't escape. The assassin girl opposite her was the most terrifying enemy she had ever seen. Even when she was in the Elf Forest, she had never seen such a terrifying top-level professional.
So she did not try to escape. When the assassin on the opposite side handed her the piece of cloth, she rushed forward and hugged the assassin's legs.
The assassin on the opposite side seemed quite casual. After she hugged his legs, he just pushed her away without taking any further action.
When the smoke cleared, the captain of the elf field team looked around.
It was discovered that all the team members had been subdued.
Failed...
The information obtained from the torture of the slave traders clearly stated that the lord here was at most a viscount.
Does it seem outdated now? Or is it that the slave traders are deceiving them? The captain of the elf field team subconsciously reviewed this operation, but then smiled in relief. It was meaningless.
They were doomed, to become slaves, or perhaps to be hanged.
The detective in the tall hat took back the walking stick in his hand. These elves were actually not very weak and their fighting qualities were very high, but they just didn't have very good luck.
I guess I will become Rand's slave.
Karin was very familiar with Rand's pattern. As long as they did not engage in massacres and anger Rand like the Torch Church Paladins in the New Holy City, others would have the opportunity to be "enslaved" by Rand.
In short, you have to accept labor reform. If you are willing to work hard, you will be free in five to ten years.
Some who have made outstanding contributions may even be released within a year.
Anyway, Karin had seen Rand really give freedom to the enslaved, and he never broke his promise.
However, most of those who are freed will choose to transfer to other places instead of giving up Rand’s benefits and leaving directly.
Some even bring their families to Rand's territory.
Perhaps this is also Rand's plan to increase the population of the territory.
When Rand saw that the dust had settled, he walked up to Vanilla and asked, "Do you know them?"
Vanilla nodded, but hesitated to speak.
The appearance of these elves relieved Rand of a lot of tension, so he was not angry, but found it very interesting instead.
Rand turned his head to look at Ellie beside him and asked her opinion in a low voice.
Then Rand said, "Let them also watch my engagement ceremony with Ellie."
Seeing that Rand, Ellie and the guests around them were not in a bad mood, Olenna no longer had a stern face and just let Ellie and Rand be happy.
In the distance, Lisa, who did not appear, was still covering her mouth and laughing.
The angriest person present was probably Bishop Kahn, he was just too hot.
Fortunately, the engagement ceremony set by Rand was not long, even though there were quite a few elf spectators.
The engagement ceremony ended successfully.
The formal wedding is scheduled for this winter.
At that time, Rand will go to the White Kingdom in person to marry Ellie.
