Earl's Commission

During gatherings of the Elf Academy Adventure Group members, Instructor Nora repeatedly stated:

I don't want to go to the Pattington Plane again for my holiday adventure because the situation there is extremely chaotic.

Currently, the army of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom is stationed in Padesto City, Rebel Army have retreated to Bulwark Village at the foot of the northern Bulwark Mountain Range.

The current Bulwark Village has become a gathering place for the Rebel Army, and even if people go to the Pattington Plane, they will not have the opportunity to climb the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range.

Because the Bulwark Mountain Range are home to a large number of griffins, these griffins can be considered the natural enemies of the Silver Pegasus.

Therefore, the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion has no immediate plans to suppress the Rebel Army.

Negotiations between the two sides have never stopped.

The Seventeenth Legion hoped that the Rebel Army would lay down their weapons and obey the arrangements of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion. Swynborne, the Legion Commander, made it clear that there would be no trial or purge of the Half-Elf of the Rebel Army.

The Rebel Army leader hoped that the Silver Moon Elf leadership would agree that the Half-Elf could carve out a territory in the jungle south of Padesto City, to be governed by the Half-Elf, and that the Silver Moon Elf would not interfere in the affairs of the Half-Elf -elves... and so on.

In fact, even after the two sides had entered the negotiation stage, the blockade of the Pattington Plane by the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion was not lifted.

Meanwhile, supplies in Padesto City are being distributed according to quotas to ensure that no supplies leave Padesto City...

The negotiation period may be very long.

The Silver Moon Elf Legion controls the Plane Teleportation Portal and supply lines, and has a tight grip on these resources, Rebel Army in Bulwark Village constantly facing a shortage of supplies.

The Silver Moon Elf Legion, of course, would not easily compromise...

Meanwhile, the Half-Elf Rebel Army also wanted to gain more power and resources, such as land on the Pattington Plane, and even wanted to establish an autonomous region.

In reality, the crux of this incident is the 'slave trade,' which is intolerable to all elves, and the finger is directly pointed at certain Silvermoon Elven Nobles...

Once this scandal gets out, the reputation of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will plummet.

Therefore, the Half-Elf Rebel Army did not want to compromise so easily.

For the reasons mentioned above, Instructor Nora had no intention of going on an adventure to the Pattington Plane during her vacation.

The tavern next to the library opposite the Elf Academy has long been a regular meeting place for Adventure Group.

As Roy entered the tavern, the elven waitress couldn't help but wink at Roy and point to a corner inside.

Needless to say, Instructor Nora and her team had already arrived.

"Give me a cup of fruit tea."

Roy said something to the female elf waitress and then walked into the tavern.

"Roy, we just got a new batch of sweet fruit wine, wouldn't you like to try some?" The bartender behind the counter greeted Roy with a smile.

"Forget it, alcohol can easily damage mental strength, especially for Half-Elf like me who is underage."

Roy waved his hand and walked straight to the long table in the corner. Sabrina and Miss Christine were already there, as were the instructors. Only the Magician Scarlett was absent. She had been busy with some magical experiments lately and often missed the Adventure Group ' gatherings, which everyone was used to.

"I recently consulted some materials and selected four planes from more than a dozen planes: the Rocky Mountain Plane, the Hulan Plane, the Chimera Plane, and the Jadeite Forest Plane. The entrances to these planes are located on the Moon Lake Shore in Buenos City."

Instructor Nora laid out four dimensional maps on the square table.

Everyone crowded around to examine these dimensional maps of various shapes.

"The Rocky Mountain Plane is very special. The entire plane is a giant mountain, so large that it defies description. We cannot yet see its full extent. The Elf City established by the Silver Moon Elf on the Rocky Mountain Plane is located on the southern slope. A Silver Moon Elf lord on the Rocky Mountain Plane once dispatched a squadron of Silver Pegasus to fly horizontally along the mountain range for nearly three months, but they still failed to reach the western side of the mountain range..."

"If I were to explore the Rocky Mountain Plane, I'd like to go up some distance, but we only have two months of vacation, and I estimate we'll waste most of our time on the road..."

Instructor Nora introduced the situation to everyone.

Roy was a little surprised. No wonder the map was drawn as a sloping hillside; the entire plane was actually a mountain peak.

Instructor Eleanor waved her hand and said to Instructor Nora:

"I've been to the Rocky Mountain Plane once. This season isn't great. It's shrouded in fog most of the time, and the peaks are covered with towering ancient trees. Because of the slopes, we don't easily get lost, but walking in the fog all day makes for a terrible travel experience."

"The Hulan Plane is an extremely cold place, a frozen wasteland. Summer lasts only a short month each year. It is home to vast coniferous forests, and moss grows beneath the snow. A famous magical beast, the Earth Tyrant Bear, lives here. If we want to see the Earth Tyrant Bear in person, the Hulan Plane is a good choice. The only problem is that we need to prepare some cold-weather gear."

Instructor Nora spoke, she placed her hand on the second map.

After hearing these introductions, it was as if a cold wind swept through the tavern, making everyone shiver.

Castleton City is a tropical city where winters consist of only two months of northerly winds, making the icy, snowy landscape extremely frightening for the elves who live there...

"Or... Nora, why don't you introduce the third plane? A snowy, icy environment—besides Scarlett, probably no one would like it," Instructor Virgil said to Instructor Nora with an awkward smile.

In the icy and snowy environment, Magician Scarlett's Ice Magic would be greatly amplified, which is why Instructor Virgil said that.

"I heard someone went on an adventure in the Hulan Plane, and didn't notice while sleeping at night, only to find out in the morning that their little toe had been frostbitten off. You know, I'm extremely afraid of the cold..."

After Instructor Virgil finished speaking, he exaggeratedly tugged at his clothes.

Instructor Nora looked at the third plane map with some helplessness. Actually, she really wanted to go to the Hulan Plane to see the Earth Tyrant Bear that could walk on the ice peaks.

Instructor Nora flipped open the third dimensional map and addressed everyone:

"The Chimera Plane is a plane named after the magical beast ' Chimera.' Even without my introduction, you should all know that the overlords of this plane are these Chimera. They possess some ancient pterosaur blood. Although tens of thousands of years of reproduction have made the Dragon Blood in their bodies very diluted, adult Chimera are still level four magical beasts, just like the dragon flies in the Blackwater Swamp. With our current strength, it may still be difficult for us to hunt down the magical beast Chimera."

Instructor Eleanor added from the side:

"I've heard that this plane not only has Chimera, but also a large number of griffons and owl-like beasts on Eagle Nest Mountain. It's definitely worth the adventure."

"Then let's go check out the Chimera. If we're lucky, we can hunt one, and the whole trip will be a huge success..." Instructor Virgil agreed.

Instructor Gru sat in the corner, remaining silent throughout.

Roy could tell that Instructor Gru seemed to be somewhat interested as well.

"I've heard that Elf Dragon and dragon eagles live deep within the Chimera Plane. If we can find them, perhaps we'll be recorded in history books!" Instructor Virgil's eyes gleamed as he spoke.

Instructor Nora nodded, indicating that everyone should not make a choice yet, as there was one last plane that had not been introduced.

"The last plane we'll introduce is the Jadeite Forest, which we're familiar with."

"The environment there is very good, with lush forests everywhere, and ancient trees that are thousands of meters tall can be seen everywhere. The trunks of these ancient trees are almost two or three hundred meters in diameter."

"If we're lucky, we might even find an undeveloped ancient tree. If we can claim that tree, we can have our own large treehouse in Castleton City..."

Roy was a little confused after hearing what Instructor Nora said.

How come Instructor Nora said that an ancient tree in the Jadeite Forest could have a luxurious treehouse in Castleton?

"Instructor Nora, how did the treehouse from the Jadeite Forest Plane get moved to the Elf Continent?" Roy asked curiously.

Instructor Nora was taken aback by Roy's question. She thought about it seriously for a moment before explaining:

"This kind of thing falls under the category of magic. Elven mages can seamlessly connect the Space Fissure inside the tree. I can't explain the specific principles behind it, but maybe Scarlett knows a little bit about it."

"However, these treehouses can only be built inside the heart of the tree. Once an external force breaks the heart of the tree, the treehouse will completely collapse."

Sabrina, unfamiliar with treehouse construction, remarked, "Wouldn't such a treehouse be very dangerous?"

Miss Christine whispered from the side, "Actually, no... I don't really understand the specific principles either; you'll probably only know after you've seen it."

The discussion was quite lively. Instructor Nora clapped her hands and said to everyone, "Let's hold a vote. We will ultimately choose the plane with the most votes..."

Just as everyone was hesitating Chimera Plane and the Jadeite Forest, a Silver Moon Elf Officer stepped into the tavern. After looking around, he fixed his gaze on Instructor Nora's square table.

The officer strode over, his boots making a crisp sound as they hit the wooden floor.

The patrons in the tavern all turned to look at this unexpected guest.

The Elf Officer remained unmoved; he walked up to Instructor Nora...

Miss Christine looked up and asked the Elf Officer, "Adonis, did Father send you to fetch me?"

The Silver Moon Elf Officer Adonis smiled slightly at Christine and said:

"Earl Swynborne did not give such an order. I am here because the Earl wishes to see you all."

Instructor Nora stared speechlessly at the Silver Moon Elf Officer in front of her, probably regretting that one of the members of the Adventure Group was actually a Elven Nobles...

Earl Swynborne sat on the sofa in the living room and casually instructed the members of the Adventure Group, "Please make yourselves at home."

Several Silver Moon Elf maidens filed out, carrying silver teapots and golden fruit trays filled with various fresh fruits.

In the fruit platter, the white bloom on many fruits had not been wiped off, and they looked very fresh.

After the elven maids left, Earl Swynborne sat up straight and addressed the instructors directly:

"The reason I invited you here today is to ask you for a favor. The Negotiation Team that came from Buenos City will arrive in Castleton City the day after tomorrow. This time, the Negotiation Team will go to the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range in the Pattington Plane to hold a second round of negotiations with the leader of the Half-Elf Rebel Army."

"I heard that your Adventure Group recently went to the Bulwark Mountain Range, which means you are very familiar with the area around the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range."

"As it happens, I can't find any other trustworthy guides for the time being, so I thought of you and asked you to take the Negotiation Team to the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range."

"Of course, you don't need to worry about security. The security of the Negotiation Team will be jointly handled by the Silver Pegasus Legion and the Unicorn Legion. You just need to lead the way."

After saying this, Earl Swynborne's gaze fell on Instructor Nora.

He knew that Instructor Nora was the real leader of the Adventure Group, and everyone trusted Instructor Nora very much.

"I don't think there aren't suitable guides in the Padesto City, Your Earl. If you're asking us to go to the Pattington Plane just to be guides, then I will refuse without hesitation!" Instructor Nora said bluntly.

Although the instructors of the Elf Academy held a high social status in Castleton City, it was still a bit presumptuous of Instructor Nora to speak to a Silver Moon Elf Earl in this tone.

Earl Swynborne did not show any displeasure, but slowly said, "The news from Pattington Plane is that there are some Slave Traders mixed in with the Rebel Army. After all, you saw real Slave Traders in Padesto, so I hope that after you arrive at Bulwark Village, you will help me find these Slave Traders hiding among the Half-Elf."

"Even if we only find one, I can use that one Slave Traders to trace back to find many more Slave Traders." Earl Swynborne looked at Instructor Nora and continued, "We can tolerate the Rebel Army ' actions, but our strategy for dealing with Slave Traders is to crack down on them to the bitter end."

Instructor Nora glanced at Elinore, Virgil, and Instructor Gru, and seeing that they didn't seem reluctant, she said, "Since you've said so, I can agree for now. However, I still need to discuss it with the other members of the Adventure Group. I can't guarantee that everyone will participate."

Earl Swynborne heard Instructor Nora say this, he knew that his goal had been achieved.

"Alright, try not to leave Castleton these next few days. If the planned dates remain unchanged, the Negotiation Team will depart from Castleton Harbour in five days. Just follow my instructions," the Earl said gently.

Instructor Nora hesitated for a moment and said, "Um... we might leave earlier than planned, so let's meet up in Padesto City."

Happy National Day! Let's have hot pot!
