286 Plan
"I don't know where it is, you can go to the Fifth District and find out!"
The shirtless Rebel Army warrior held a roll of dire wolf fur in his arms, grinning almost to his pointed ears, and said happily to Roy.
The other Half-Elf rebels saw that Roy was an outsider and had arrived here carrying a bundle of dire wolf furs. They gathered around and expressed their willingness to exchange something for the fur.
For these Half-Elf Rebel Army, dire wolf fur is a piece of leather armor that can resist arrows.
The most powerful thing about those Silver Pegasus Warriors of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion is not the Elf Long Sword in their hands, but that they fly in mid-air and keep shooting arrows at the ground...
The reason why Rebel Army is stationed at Bulwark Village is to use the griffins on the Bulwark Mountain Range to defend against Silver Pegasus Warrior in the sky.
Such a roll of precious dire wolf fur would not have been worth much half a year ago.
But now, it can produce a life-saving leather armor, which is highly regarded in the Rebel Army.
Roy obviously underestimated the appeal of these two dire wolf furs to these Half-Elf "What do you want, a magic core or Magic Crystal Stone? Either way..."
"Do you want to inquire about information? Are you here to find your companion? The human companion... is he a magician? I know where he is. I can take you to him and sell me this fur."
"Wait a minute..."
The dire wolf fur Half-Elf wanted was more than what Roy was seeing. Roy was already trapped in the crowd.
"I will sell them to whoever can get these two magic crystals..."
Roy stood in the crowd, raised the dire wolf fur in his hand high, and shouted loudly to the people around him.
Just when the other Half-Elf were hesitant, a Rebel Army took out two Magic Crystal Stone from his arms and stuffed them into Roy's hand, and took the bundle of dire wolf furs away.
His actions were crisp and decisive, and he didn't even communicate verbally with Roy.
Seeing that Roy no longer had the dire wolf pelt in his hands, many Half-Elf complained that they were too slow to buy the dire wolf pelt.
Roy was also frightened into a cold sweat.
I thought that the group of Half-Elfs would gather around me and snatch the dire wolf fur away, but I didn't expect that the transaction would be successful.
Roy licked his dry lips, and put Magic Crystal Stone into his pocket under the gaze of a group of the Half-Elf Rebel Army.
He was originally planning to walk around the village, but after walking a few steps, he found that Rebel Army was following behind him. He was so frightened that Roy left Bulwark Village in a hurry.
The Rebel Army who followed Roy kept asking Roy: "Are there any dire wolf furs left...?"
"There were no more, so I brought two of them over and they were immediately rushed to buy them."
Roy explained while quickening his pace.
He walked faster and faster, and finally started running very fast in Bulwark Village.
Fortunately, those Half-Elf did not catch up...
Suddenly, Roy's arm was grabbed by a hand.
Roy turned his head in horror and breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered that the elf grabbing his arm was Woods.
Woods pulled Roy and asked him, "I just saw you surrounded by a group of Half-Elf, why are you running?"
"I brought a bundle of dire wolf pelts, and I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sell the pelts to inquire about Benjamin from those Half-Elfs. I didn't expect that so many Half-Elfs wanted to buy dire wolf pelts, and I almost got robbed by them..."
Roy said breathlessly.
"You actually brought two dire wolf pelts here to sell... they really belong to you." Woods said, turning around and looking behind him. No Half-Elf was following him, so he and Roy walked out of the village together.
Along the way, the two saw many Half-Elf returning from outside the village carrying bulging linen bags. Judging from the raised outline of their cloth bags, they should have contained some fruits.
Bulwark Village There are so many Half-Elf gathered here. There are no orchards around here. There are some wild fruit trees in the surrounding jungle, and there are also many bushes with berries.
But no matter how many wild resources there are, it is estimated that there will not be enough for so many Half-Elf to eat.
Usually these Half-Elf are scattered throughout the jungle, and they may not have such troubles, but now that everyone lives together, various resources immediately become scarce.
The two walked out Bulwark Village quickly.
"How's it going? Have you found your uncle?" Roy asked as he walked.
"No, I asked a few Half-Elf to ask, and they all said they didn't know my uncle." Woods said dejectedly.
Then he asked Roy: "Roy, how was your inquiry?"
Without waiting for Roy to reply, he kept chattering. "Don't be too anxious about this kind of thing, but asking those Half-Elf while the goods are being sold... is really a good idea, why didn't I think of it!"
Woods patted his thigh, then took off his backpack, rummaged through the bottles and jars inside, and asked Roy:
"Roy, what do you think I should sell? I still have some magic potions I prepared in my pocket. I don't know if I can use this!"
Roy remembered that Half-Elf, the first person to buy dire wolf pelts, said that Benjamin the Mage might live in Fifth District, so he said to Woods:
"I seem to have heard some news. There is Half-Elf who said that Benjamin is in Fifth District."
"You actually found out about the whereabouts of that magician?" Woods stopped and stared at Roy in disbelief.
"I just have a little clue, but I still don't know if it's true or not!" Roy said.
He heard that Fifth District was more chaotic than Second District, so he didn't plan to look over there.
"Should we go to Fifth District to inquire about it?" Woods took courage and asked Roy.
"I think it's better to go back to the camp first, tell Instructor Nora the news, and see how Instructor Nora arranges it!" Roy said.
Returning to the Negotiation Team temporary camp, Instructor Nora and Sabrina have not returned yet, and the other instructors are there.
"Roy, how are you going out to find out?" Magician Scarlett was sitting at the entrance of the tent, using a grinder to powder some Royal Blood Grass. There was a spicy smell in the air.
Instructor Gru was wiping the arrows in the arrow pot. Hearing Magician Scarlett's question, he also looked up at Roy.
Roy came to his tent, sat on a tree stump, opened the leather bag he had returned from the transaction, and poured out all the Kole inside.
There was a crash, and the shells collided with each other. The sound was extremely clear, and it actually buried Roy's feet.
"Well, I heard some news." Roy said.
"Where did you get so many Kole?" Magician Scarlett couldn't help but ask as he watched Roy count Kole.
"I just sold two dire wolf skins at Bulwark Village..." Roy replied casually.
Only then did Instructor Eleanor look at Roy and asked, "Roy, did you just say that you got some information?"
"Well, it's just..."
Roy told the news again.
The instructors immediately gathered around and everyone sat together to discuss. It seemed that just as Earl Swynborne said, there must be a lot of Slave Traders mixed in the Rebel Army.
"We should arrest this human magician as soon as possible. I guess he should know a lot of Slave Traders..."
Instructor Eleanor cracked his knuckles loudly.
"When Nora comes back, make a good plan." Instructor Gru said.
It was only when it was getting dark that Instructor Nora and Sabrina returned to the camp together.
"Nora, is there any news?"
Magician Scarlett put the ground medicine powder into medicine bottles and asked Nora.
Instructor Nora took off the headscarf, sat next to Magician Scarlett and said:
"How can it be so easy!"
Sabrina walked back to his tent. It looked like the two of them had walked a lot, and they both looked a little tired.
After Instructor Nora sat down, he couldn't help complaining. "Now Bulwark Village is being made like a garbage dump by these Half-Elf. The whole village is overcrowded, many children are starving, and there is probably no edible food in the surrounding jungles. Oh, damn war. I really hope that the peace talks can enter the next stage quickly, and at least the food problem can be solved..."
Instructor Gru and Instructor Eleanor came out of the tent after hearing Nora's voice.
"War is always like this, and there is nothing we can do about it." Instructor Eleanor said.
Instructor Nora said, "I don't think there is any sincerity on the part of Negotiation Team. It is estimated that there will not be any substantial progress in a while."
Instructor Eleanor coughed slightly, and then said, "Nora, Roy found out the whereabouts of Benjamin, shall we go over and arrest him?"
"Uh... did you find out?" Instructor Nora said.
"I heard that he lives in Fifth District, but the news has not been verified yet."
Instructor Nora's exhaustion was gone. She quickly stood up and walked into the camp. As she walked, she said, "Wait... I'm going to find Terrence. I won't go to stand guard for the negotiators tomorrow. Tomorrow we will go to Fifth District to inquire about the news. The human magician has seen us, so when everyone acts, try to be careful..."
Instructor Nora left in a hurry and came back soon.
"Go to Fifth District tomorrow to find the whereabouts of Benjamin. We will try to be as secretive as possible this time. Roy and Sabrina, you two are responsible for gathering intelligence. We will follow you. Once the target is found, we will quickly arrest and evacuate quickly..."
Instructor Nora assigned the tasks for tomorrow to Adventure Group members.
In the temporary camp of Negotiation Team, the negotiators also gathered together to discuss the conditions proposed to the Rebel Army tomorrow.
The discussion lasted until late, and the negotiators returned to their carriages to rest.
In the morning of Bulwark Village, the forest is often filled with thick morning fog.
Roy got up from the tent early and saw that Sabrina was carrying a bundle of grass to feed the horses. He said hello to Sabrina and then took the wooden bucket to the river not far away to fetch water.
