Chapter 317: Recruiting people to become heroes
Isn’t the difference too big?
It's freezing outside, but spring is blooming inside. It's so weird.
The temperature suddenly rose from over thirty degrees below zero to twenty degrees above zero, and the fur coat and cold-resistant magic tools on his body became a burden.
Everyone took off their heavy clothes and took off the magic props made of the Crystal of the Scorching Sun.
Shu Li took the opportunity to leave the Elf King's arms, pretended to be calm and walked a few steps to the side, took off his heavy fur coat, and put it into the storage bag.
After removing the warming measures, I finally adapted to the current temperature.
Shu Li looked around cautiously and found that they were standing on a green meadow. Twenty or thirty meters ahead was a dense forest.
The air here is fresh, almost as fresh as that in the Fairy Forest. The little fairy returns to nature, and all the pores on his body feel relaxed.
Shu Li released his perception, which spread outward with him as the center. Within a hundred meters, there were no other living people except them.
Isn’t it said that the snow mountain maze is the favorite place for adventurers to explore?
Why is there no one here after I came in?
Or, have they already penetrated into the second level?
After all, Morrissey just said that the first layer had been plundered for tens of thousands of years, and all the valuable things had been taken away except for the useless flowers, plants and trees.
Well, at least they are safe.
After everyone was ready, Shu Li asked for their opinions.
"Shall we find a place to camp?"
Although the weather here is sunny and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, it is night outside. They are tired after a day and must rest well and recharge their energy before further exploration.
Besides, he was hungry!
I didn’t eat enough at the palace banquet that night.
Shu Li touched her flat belly.
“Gurgle—”
My stomach growled cooperatively.
"Didn't you have dinner?" Budno asked doubtfully.
"Oh, forget it!" Siti waved her hands and said angrily, "Not only did she not have enough to eat, Nasha almost became a sacrifice."
"What? Sacrifice!" Hector exclaimed, looking at Nasha worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Nasha sighed: "It's okay, luckily Amo is here."
Sadler frowned and asked, "Isn't the King of the Snow Country your uncle?"
Nasha's expression was gloomy. "Yes, but... before the king's power, there is only profit."
Shu Li patted Nasha's shoulder soothingly and said to the others, "Let's talk while we find a place to camp!"
No one objected.
Morrissey had been to the maze before and was quite familiar with the first level, so he led the way to find a suitable place to camp.
Shu Li organized his words and started from entering the palace.
The overly enthusiastic royal family, the princess without a sense of boundaries, the missing Prince Leon, a sudden banquet, and being invited by the second princess to listen to the royal secrets in the middle of the meal...
Others were shocked. They never expected that an ordinary incident of searching for relatives would lead to a brutal battle for the throne.
Morrissey led everyone to find a place to camp - near a small river.
There are water sources, rocky beaches and trees here, which is suitable for camping.
While everyone took out materials for camping from their storage bags, they listened to Shu Li continue to talk about their experiences in the palace.
"Sperian is wearing women's clothes?" Angel opened his amber eyes wide and looked at Shu Li with sparkling eyes.
Shu Li was squatting on the ground, moving large stones to build a stone stove. When he heard Angel's question, he paused and said unnaturally, "...I was trying to take advantage of the situation and had to sacrifice my looks..."
"Hehe, what kind of skirt is it? Is it pretty?" Angel came closer and winked mischievously, "Take it out and show it to us!"
"No!" Shu Li refused mercilessly.
Angel turned to the Elf King and asked, "Ace, does Sperian look beautiful in women's clothing?"
The Elf King hammered the tent peg into the ground, put down the hammer, looked at the goblin with its back to him with green eyes, and smiled, "Mm, very beautiful."
"You guys even danced! It must have been amazing!" Angel said with emotion.
Shu Li blushed and lowered his head to continue building the stone stove. "Don't interrupt me. Where was I?"
Kumandi, who was taking notes, looked up and said, "You're hungry. Go to the food area and eat."
"Oh, yes." Shu Li continued.
Kumandi wrote a line in his notebook.
[Ace compliments Sperian's beautiful women's clothing, and they dance a duet.]
After finishing writing, his eyes drifted towards Shu Li's still red ears.
[Sperian is shy.]
He drew a line connecting Ace's and Sperian's names and drew a heart in the middle of the line.
After staring at the heart for two seconds, he drew a question mark next to it.
Shu Li had already mentioned that the second princess revealed the royal secrets, and Kumandi hurriedly took notes to prevent any details from being missed.
Sadler and Morrissey set up the tent, found a big rock to sit on, and listened silently. When they heard the part about the magic sword, they both showed surprised expressions.
"The Sword of Boshug is actually such a dangerous magic sword?" Hector was shocked.
Opening a sword box can make a person possessed. How terrifying!
"Where's the sword? Take it out and let's take a look." Discio stared at Shu Li's storage bag.
Shu Li took out the sword of Boshug and placed it on the stove for everyone to admire.
After being "taught a lesson" by the Sword of Viona, the Sword of Boshug restrained its demonic energy and lost its power to bewitch people. It looked no different from an ordinary sword.
After finishing their work, the others gathered around and stared at the magic sword.
Desio picked up the sword and tried to pull it out, but failed. He put it back into the stone stove with regret.
"...So, you killed the First Prince who was parasitized by the Nightmare, got the magic sword, and then teleported away in front of the Second Prince?" Angel asked.
"Yes!" Siti said, "We have to run. You don't know how crazy the king's family is. They want to sacrifice Leon and Nasha just for the success of something."
Nasha said woodenly, "The Sword of Boshug was my aunt's dowry. I sent it back to the Snow Country just to ask my uncle to keep it for the time being."
As a result, my uncle's family suffered the consequences for their own selfish desires.
Shu Li picked up the magic sword and easily pulled out the snow-white blade.
“Zheng——”
The sword of Boshug made a crisp sound.
Morrissey and Sadler were startled, their pupils contracting.
If they remembered correctly, only those of royal blood in the country where the magic sword was located were qualified to become the master of the magic sword.
Sperian was clearly a mountain man, not belonging to any nation.
Prince Leon was able to pull out the Sword of Eterno only because he had half the blood of the Snow Kingdom.
The whole incident is irrational and full of weirdness.
"You are just low-level magicians. How did you kill a mid-level nightmare?" Morrissey asked.
"A low-level magician, the teleportation distance is only a few meters." Sadler said.
"The Sword of Viona is also in your hand?" Morrissey stared at Shu Li.
"Can you wield two magic swords?" Sadler asked.
"Who are you?" Morrissey looked around solemnly. "Or, who are you?"
quiet--
Shu Li silently put the blade back in.
He wanted to tell about his experiences in the palace, so naturally he couldn't hide his true strength. Morrissey and Sadler were both smart people, so it was understandable that they found the details.
After spending this period of time together, he has a more comprehensive understanding of them and they are people who are trustworthy.
Privately, Shu Li discussed with others and decided to find an opportunity to recruit them to join the group and gradually expand the team of brave men.
Although Morrissey is a dark elf, like Efit, he has his own ideals and ambitions, which are different from other dark elves.
As the saying goes, whether it is a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.
Therefore, Shu Li did not refuse the dark elves from joining the brave team.
The atmosphere in the camp was tense, no one spoke, and Team Light looked at Shu Li in unison.
He is the captain, and it is up to him to decide whether to reveal his identity.
Morrissey and Sadler also looked at Shu Li, waiting patiently for his answer.
Shu Li smiled, picked up some dry firewood and stuffed it into the stone stove. He snapped his fingers and instantly threw a small fireball, lighting the firewood.
The firewood began to burn with a crackling sound.
"Instant magic!" Morrissey was surprised.
A low-level magician can release a fireball instantly without using a magic wand?
This is impossible!
Sadler was equally incredulous. "You're not a low-level magician?"
Only high-level magicians can cast low-level magic with the simplest spells.
But just now, he didn't hear the boy chanting magic, and he didn't even say the word "fireball".
"Yes." Shu Li grinned, "So I'm not a low-level magician, I'm a high-level archmage."
"High-level Grand Mage? You?" Morrissey exclaimed softly, his blood-red eyes squinting at Shu Li. "You really are...are..."
"Fairies." Shu Li answered for him, smiling sweetly and frankly, "Kumandi, Angel, Budno, and Desio, I are all underage fairies. We just turned twenty this year."
Confirming his guess, Morrissey sighed.
He said, how could a few low-level magicians dare to enter the snow mountain? It turned out that there were five goblins among them.
The fairy is extremely talented and has become a high-level wizard at the age of twenty.
As a dark elf, Morrissey considered himself to be very intelligent, but it took him nearly two hundred years to upgrade to a high-level wizard.
"Are you also high-level wizards?" he asked the four little goblins except Shu Li.
"No, the three of us are low-level archmages, and Kumanda is a mid-level archmage." Disio showed his white teeth, "We were all promoted this year."
Low-level wizards, mid-level wizards, and high-level wizards in their twenties... this generation of goblins is incredibly talented.
Morrissey's eyes fell on Amanda. "You're not a goblin?"
Since they also call themselves mountain people, shouldn't Amanda be in the same group with them?
Amanda blinked innocently. "No! I'm a dragon."
After saying this, he puffed out his chest proudly.
Morrissey: ...
Dragon clan!
An underage dragon!
He has lived so many years in vain that he can't even tell the difference between fairies and dragons.
"Do you have any magic props with you to conceal your identity?" Morrissey asked.
"Yeah!" Shu Li took out a pot, placed it on the stove, then chanted a short spell, gathered the element of water, and poured pure water into the pot.
Sadler was in shock when he learned that Shu Li and the others were goblins. He never thought that he would encounter the legendary goblins in his lifetime.
The dragon clan would occasionally appear on the continent, stir up a storm, and then leave arrogantly.
This is not the case with goblins.
After the War of the Gods, the Elf King sealed off the Fairy Forest and the Elf Kingdom, and there was no trace of fairies on the continent anymore.
After digesting it for a while, Sadler stared at the water in the pot and asked, "Since you can cast fire magic instantly, why can't you cast water magic instantly?"
Shu Li said: "Because we haven't found the water spirit yet!"
Sadler was stunned: "Water spirit?"
Hector said excitedly, "Sperien is amazing! He has the Elf King's blessing and the approval of the Fire and Wood Elves, so he can instantly cast light, fire, and wood magic. This time we come to the Snow Mountain Maze, not only to find people, but also to find the Water Elves."
There was so much information that the dark elves and white mages felt like their necks were itching and they wanted to grow a head.
"Ahem." Shu Li no longer concealed the truth and extended an olive branch to the two, inviting them to join.
Morrissey and Sadler's expressions changed again and again, as if they were struck by dozens of thunderbolts, and their hearts were filled with thousands of waves, each wave higher than the last. By the end, they were almost numb.
In Team Light, there are five fairies, a little dragon, a fugitive prince who can transform into the sword of Carlos, and two princesses who have a close relationship with the magic sword.
They are all inextricably linked, as if pushed by the god of fate, and luckily come together, determined to become heroes who defeat the god of darkness.
Currently, they have three magic swords, and the other two are in the hands of Prince Leon and the Winged People respectively.
And Sperian is a special little fairy who can cast magic instantly as long as he gets the approval of the legendary elemental spirits.
"When you were five, you sneaked into Vanaku through the roots of the mother tree. When you were ten, you cooperated with Efit... to steal the fruits of the dark elves?" Morrissey was stunned.
Shu Li nodded. "Yes."
Morrissey pinched his brows, he felt like he was on a pirate ship.
The little goblin's secret is so shocking that it completely subverts common sense. I feel like I have lived in vain for the past one or two hundred years.
With a long sigh, Morrissey asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Dark Elf King your secret?"
Shu Li said confidently: "You won't."
A dark elf who can maintain his sanity, control the power of darkness, and is unwilling to fall will never betray his friends.
Sadler glanced coldly at Morrissey.
Morrissey shuddered, then smiled and said, "I really won't tell the Dark Elf King."
In fact, he very much approved of Efit's actions.
It is happier to be a white elf cub than a dark elf cub.
At least, he won't die at such a young age.
Morrissey's childhood was not happy, full of blood and betrayal. He escaped death many times before he was lucky enough to survive.
Every dark elf will feel a longing for the white elves after learning of their existence.
"As a hero, will you be lucky enough to meet the Elf King?" Morrisey asked with raised eyebrows.
Shu Li was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned to look at the blond man sitting next to him.
A faint smile appeared on the Elf King's handsome face, and he looked back at him with gentle eyes.
Shu Li quickly looked away, touched his nose and said to Morrissey, "I'll definitely see you when there's a chance."
——In fact, I have seen it.
"By the way." He cleared his throat and looked at Morrissey and Sadler. "Actually, I met you five years ago!"
"Five years ago?"
The two were surprised.
They quickly searched their minds but found no memories related to the goblin.
Shu Li grinned and raised a finger as a reminder: "Five years ago, when you went on an adventure in the Ergoga Desert, I was actually hiding in the roots of a tree, secretly following you."
Sadler's mind flashed with inspiration, and his eyes widened involuntarily. "...Did you place the Sun Crystal at the bottom of the lake?"
"Yes." Shu Li nodded, "To thank you for leading me to the Temple of Eddas."
He briefly recounted his journey through the desert and his discovery of the Temple of the God of Fire thousands of meters below the lake.
After listening to this, Morrissey and Sadler remained silent for a long time.
Everything they heard today was beyond their understanding.
Hector looked at the Dark Elf and the White Mage with sympathy.
When he and Nasha and other humans learned the truth, they were shocked for a long time.
However, the more you know, the calmer you feel.
Now, even if the Elf King stood in front of him, he would not be surprised!
