Chapter 516 Moving Energy Points!
Early in the morning, outside the Lord's Mansion of the Holy City of Heka.
It's particularly lively here today, and a team of hundreds of people is gathering here.
This team is exactly Laci, Adela and others who are preparing to set off.
In fact, the people came here not without guards, but because they were invited to live in the City Lord's Mansion.
Except for the three trainee magicians brought by Deweir, who were allowed to enter the City Lord's Mansion because of their noble status, all other guards were stationed outside the City Lord's Mansion.
As these people can afford to attend the Alliance’s Higher Academy, naturally each of them has an extraordinary status.
Even a woman like Zenia, who didn't look like a lady, brought ten guards with her, two of whom were golden knights.
The same was true for the others. Deweir brought three junior magicians and more than ten silver knight guards, and another man brought five gold knights and more than ten silver guards.
The only thing that surprised Gervis was that a rich lady like Adela did not come with any guards.
"Set off!"
After everything was ready, with the order from a few people, the team of a hundred people began to move towards the gate of the Holy City of Heka.
At this time, Gervis was riding a carriage following the team and slowly began to move forward.
But he is the shabbiest magician in the team.
The other three apprentice magicians all had their own luxurious carriages, and on the carriages were badges indicating their identity as magicians.
However, the carriage that Gervis was riding in did not have the magician's badge.
The place they were heading to this time was the Sunset Forest, which was half a month's journey away. Gervis had checked in books that the Sunset Forest was a buffer zone between humans and beastmen, so it was a no-man's land.
…
There was no conversation along the way, and in the blink of an eye, fifteen days had passed.
The closer they got to the Sunset Forest, the fewer humans they saw, and instead, the number of orcs gradually increased.
However, when these orcs met them, they avoided them from a distance and did not rush forward roaring without saying a word.
In the library of Lachi Manor, Rigvis also learned why these orcs did not fight to the death with humans like the orcs released from the elf insect space.
It turns out that more than two hundred years ago, in order to fight against the undead, humans formed an alliance with orcs and other races to fight together.
After the victory of the battle, the relationship between the two sides had apparently eased somewhat.
However, before the undead appeared, humans were far more powerful than orcs, and orcs could only hide in the forest and live a life like wild beasts.
However, humans suffered the greatest losses in that catastrophe, and several tribes of orcs at the time began to think about taking the opportunity to annex human cities and enslave humans.
Finally, a war broke out between the two sides again, and humans won a tragic victory. The tribes that tried to annex human territory were driven back to the forest.
At that time, a small number of orcs did not participate in this war because they were already living in peace with the local humans.
Although orcs are barbaric and crude, they also have a racial advantage, which is that they are extremely powerful.
In order to rebuild the city quickly, those orcs who did not participate in the war and were willing to stay were recruited as laborers to build the city for humans.
From then on, Gervis saw the scene of humans and orcs living in peace.
However, if we go further north into the orcs' sphere of influence, the orcs there will not be like this. If humans meet them, it will basically be a fight to the death.
…
"Master Lachi!"
At this time, Gervis and his group had arrived at a town outside the Sunset Forest.
Although this is a no-man's land, it is not a sparsely populated place.
There were originally a large number of indigenous people here, and because it was close to the Sunset Forest, adventurers came here all year round.
Now that the news of the treasure being discovered in Sunset Forest has spread throughout the Holy Alliance, the flow of people in the town can be said to be shoulder to shoulder.
Just as Gervis and his men walked into the town, two fully armed men suddenly came up to their team.
These two people were sent by Lachi to act as the vanguard.
This is also the reason why Laci was able to join Adela's team.
Laci himself is not very strong nor a genius, but in order to join Adela's team, he made a lot of promises.
For example, he was responsible for finding guides from the Holy City of Heka to the Sunset Forest, and he was also responsible for gathering information in advance.
Because the Lach family's power is only a week away from this town, this can be regarded as Lach's home court.
"Adela! I have sent my men to book a hotel for us in advance. Let's go there now."
"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Lachi!"
Looking at the bustling town, Adela knew that it would be difficult to find a hotel if Lachi hadn't sent someone in advance.
Led by the two men, the group walked towards the town.
At this time, Gervis also walked out of the carriage and looked around curiously.
The dirtiness and mess of this small town do have some Eurasian flavor, but the only difference is that Gervis can see a lot of orcs here.
When he passed by a blacksmith shop, he took a special look. The people working there were bearded dwarves, and the hammers they hit made loud noises.
Bang!
Just as they were moving forward, they suddenly saw a man flying out of a house in front of them, covered in blood.
Before everyone could understand what was going on, they saw more than ten orcs walking out of the house again.
"Dirty and cunning humans, how dare you look down on us orcs!"
The leader of the orcs was a burly half-orc, and following behind him were orcs of different kinds.
There were pig-headed men, dog-headed men, and even a minotaur, which was the first time Gervis saw it.
"Master Gesang, can you give him to me as a reward?"
After the leading orc stomped hard on the human on the ground whose life or death was unknown, the kobold behind him came to the front with a smirk on his face and asked the orcs.
"Then I'll give it to you, Kirby!"
After saying that, the half-orc immediately walked forward. Wherever he passed, both humans and orcs stayed away.
Because everyone could sense the oppressive feeling coming from this orc.
The dog-headed man quickly picked up the human on the ground, whose life or death was unknown, and followed with a mouth full of saliva.
…
"Adela, this is a no-man's land, so there's nothing we can do about this kind of thing!"
Deweir felt sorry for Adela’s frown and immediately spoke in a low voice.
"Yes, Adela! Such things happen here every day, whether it's humans or orcs! Treasure hunting is more important!"
This time, Laci rarely agreed with Deweir's words, because they could all feel the strength of that group of orcs.
Moreover, the Lach family lives right next to the Sunset Forest, so they naturally know about the chaos here.
Hearing what Deville and Lach said, Adela pursed her lips slightly and didn't say anything.
It wasn't that she wanted to meddle in other people's business, but she frowned because the human was dead and yet to be eaten by orcs.
When Deweir, Lachi and others were extremely wary of those orcs.
Gervis looked at those orcs with his eyes shining. In his eyes, they were not just orcs, but walking energy points.
Although we encountered quite a few orcs on the road a few days ago, they were all ordinary orcs.
And it is obvious that each of these people is at the leader level. A pig head or a dog head represents a little energy point!
"It seems like this trip was worth it!"
Looking at the orcs going away, Gervis smacked his lips. After half a month of recuperation, his injuries were finally healed.
So he has recovered his fighting spirit, but he used the second stealth technique to hide it so that outsiders cannot detect it.
