283 Those Voices of Opposition

Instructor Nora agreed to Earl Swynborne's request and accompanied the Negotiation Team into the Pattington Plane.

The main reason was that Earl Swynborne wanted to eradicate the Slave Traders of the Pattington Plane, but did not want to implicate too many innocent Half-Elf, so he decided to ask Instructor Nora's Adventure Group to go to the Pattington Plane.

Instructor Nora didn't want the innocent Half-Elf to be implicated, so she defied all opposition and led the Adventure Group into the Pattington Plane.

Roy hadn't expected that the Negotiation Team would include seven important figures, all of whom were Silver Moon Elven Nobles and had traveled all the way from Buenos City.

What Roy couldn't understand even more was that... these Silver Moon Elven Nobles didn't seem to communicate much.

They were all sitting in the carriage, rarely showing themselves, and each of them was somewhat mysterious.

Only Viscountess Euphemia stepped down from the carriage, walked along the creek, and casually called Miss Christine over for a chat...

Roy was a little confused as to why Miss Christine was sitting next to him and Woods with a smile after returning from Viscountess Euphemia's place.

To say that she wanted to join in their conversation wouldn't be entirely accurate.

This noblewoman from the Swynborne Family wasn't particularly fond of botany or potions.

Unfortunately Roy and Woods were discussing the types of potions found in this Lapis Lazuli Forest...

This forest is called the Lapis Lazuli Forest because it was once the territory of a Lapis Lazuli Beast.

The Lapis Lazuli Beast have now moved to the southern jungle, where only some Wind Fox roam. They are nothing more than a group of cunning and cowardly low-level magical beasts.

However, this jungle is rich in Silverleaf Grass and Calming Flower. These Elementary Magic Herbs are not very valuable, and caravans often come to the Half-Elf village to buy them.

Many Half-Elf live in this jungle, making a living by hunting Wind Fox and gathering Magic Herbs.

Six months ago, Lord Alvis turned this jungle into his private territory, forcing many of the Half-Elf living there to migrate to the jungle further south.

Woods had just told Roy that when they camped out tonight, he planned to take Roy for a walk around the area and collect some Magic Herbs.

Roy readily agreed, at least he could learn the art of gathering Magic Herbs from Woods.

"Roy, what do you think of this jungle?" Miss Christine asked Roy with a smile as she sat down beside him.

"It's a very nice forest. It's rich in resources. Not only do Wind Fox roam here, but there are also plenty of Elementary Magic Herbs to collect. For most Half-Elf, it's a suitable place to live," Roy answered honestly.

He didn't understand why Miss Christine was asking that question.

"Woods, what do you think?" Miss Christine asked Woods.

Woods peered through the gaps in the bushes along the stream toward the distant sea of trees and casually added, "This jungle lacks towering trees, so the elves can't build exquisite treehouses here. Probably only Half-Elf would be willing to live here."

At that moment, Roy felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by something...

He looked back, but there was nothing there.

In the distance, by the stream, Viscountess Euphemia, accompanied by two guards, turned and left, leaving only her back view.

The Negotiation Team team rested briefly by the stream for nearly an hour before continuing south along the Forest Path.

Four squads of Silver Pegasus Warrior circled back and forth in the sky, so there was no need for guides at all. The direction the Silver Pegasus Warrior pointed was the direction the Negotiation Team should move in.

The Negotiation Team spent the entire afternoon walking along Forest Path, and then stopped again in the evening.

The important figures did not get out of the carriages, nor did they set up tents; instead, they chose to live inside the carriages.

The Elf Warrior of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion mostly used very simple hammocks set up in the surrounding trees. The climate in this jungle was warm and humid, and it wasn't cold at night. Sleeping in a hammock was far more comfortable than sleeping in a tent.

Only the Elf Academy Adventure Group set up a few simple tents near the edge of the jungle.

Dinner was simple; Instructor Nora brought back a bag of fresh fruit and dumped it all onto the tablecloth.

Everyone sat together, choosing their favorite fruits and enjoying dinner together.

It's a pity they didn't have the grilled fish Roy likes...

Roy simply picked up a piece of Breadfruit from the tablecloth and swallowed it in a few bites.

While everyone was having dinner together, Captain Terrence came over.

He squatted down next to Instructor Nora and instructed everyone, "Everyone... you don't have night watch or patrol duties, so please don't wander around at night to avoid causing misunderstandings with the patrolling Elf Warrior."

"Would it be alright to move around a bit near the camp?" Instructor Nora asked tentatively.

"Okay, but try not to stray too far from the tent!"

Captain Terrence responded.

After saying this, he stared at Instructor Nora until she responded with 'I understand' before turning and leaving.

Captain Terrence is great in every way, except that he is very meticulous in his work, rarely smiles, and always has a serious expression wherever he goes.

Instructor Nora held an apple, took a big bite, then pointed at Roy and said indistinctly:

"Roy, continue training with me later. You've just advanced, so you need to stabilize your strength as soon as possible..."

"Alright, Instructor Nora!"

Roy readily agreed.

Roy and Sabrina followed Instructor Nora to practice martial arts in a clearing in the woods next to the tent camp.

When Sabrina sparred with Instructor Nora, she performed flawlessly, leaving onlookers with no reason to criticize her.

When it was Roy's turn to spar with Instructor Nora, things went wrong. Every time, Roy would get stabbed in the body by Instructor Nora with a wooden sword, causing Roy to cry out in pain frequently.

Instructor Nora discovered that Roy, the Half-Elf, severely lacked balance, making it difficult for him to perform many martial arts moves...

"I really don't understand. You usually learn those martial arts techniques quite quickly at the academy, and your movements are very fluid and standard." Instructor Nora knocked the Wooden Stick out of Roy's hand and finally couldn't help but shout, "What happened to you? It's one thing for your movements to be clumsy, but how come you can do even the most basic movements so badly?"

Roy was also speechless. Back in Castleton, Moira helped him break down the movements at night, but now he just couldn't handle it on his own. He had tried his best, but he still couldn't meet the minimum standard required by Instructor Nora.

The more anxious you are, the more clumsy your movements become...

The Elf Warrior would almost always suppress their laughter and walk over when they saw Roy's clumsy appearance.

As night fell, twenty carriages were parked in a clearing in an oak forest, with nearly two hundred Elf Warrior guarding the surrounding trees.

Several patrol teams of Elf Warrior patrolled back and forth near the carriage. Duke Augus, as a member of the Elven Council of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, was assigned a tough task to participate in the Negotiation Team.

He sat in the train carriage for a whole day, and the jolting almost made his bones fall apart.

Unfortunately, the military council's idea was to completely eliminate this Rebel Army and extinguish this spark completely.

Unfortunately, most of the Elven Nobles disagreed with this view. Duke Augus came to the Pattington Plane to find an opportunity to persuade the other members of the Negotiation Team and then wipe out the Rebel Army in one fell swoop.

Earl Swynborne originally supported this decision, but the Silvermoon Elven Nobles of Pattington Plane were involved in the slave trade. Some of these nobles were tried, while others fled, and they ended up handing over a vast and prosperous plane to Earl Swynborne.

Even if it were Earl Swynborne, he wouldn't be going to annihilate this Half-Elf Rebel Army at this time.

Duke Augus knew very well that Earl Swynborne wanted to manage the Pattington Plane, and that the Half-Elf living on the Pattington Plane were the true builders.

So he didn't even plan to meet with Earl Swynborne...

Earl Griffin, the chief negotiator, is currently unclear about his stance and has not communicated with other negotiators privately, so the other members of the Negotiation Team dare not express their opinions easily.

We still don't know what everyone is really thinking.

Duke Augus leaned back in the soft leather sofa, holding a wine glass and silently gazing out the window. The woodland was unusually quiet in the night, with only the occasional cry of a small animal in the forest.

Throughout the journey, Roy learned Elven Martial Arts under the one-on-one guidance of Instructor Nora.

Roy suffered a lot, but he also learned some combat skills.

In fact, when elves fight, they rely on their excellent balance to dodge enemy attacks, such as the Sword Dancer...

The Negotiation Team made almost no delays along the way.

After entering the Griffin Territory, the Silver Pegasus Warrior of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion stopped on the outskirts of the territory, and the convoy continued along the Forest Path toward the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range.

The hazy outline of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range also came into view.

The Negotiation Team arrived at the foot of the Fortress Mountain in just eight days.

The Negotiation Team's convoy stopped in the woods ten kilometers from the Bulwark Village, where the Silver Moon Elf set up a camp.

Meanwhile, a messenger from the Silver Moon Elf arrived at Bulwark Village with a personal letter from Earl Griffin, thus beginning the second round of peace talks between the Silver Moon Elf and the Half-Elf rebels.

The Half-Elf Rebel Army were still full of expectations for the negotiation delegation sent by the Silver Moon Elf.

If the despicable acts of the Elven Nobles in Padesto City had not thoroughly enraged the Half-Elf, a Rebel Army would not have suddenly appeared.

The Rebel Army is currently holed up in the jungle at the foot of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range. The Silver Moon Elf control the Teleportation Portal to the Pattington Plane, so the Rebel Army are getting almost no supplies, and their lives are not easy.

The arrival of the Negotiation Team gave the Rebel Army a much-needed reprieve.

Since we're in the process of negotiating, we should strive to secure as many rights as possible for our side...
