Chapter 211

211 – Karina and Belinda

“It seems like we have guests!” Yang Feng’s mind was suddenly stirred and he looked into the distance.

A red dust cloud rose in the distance, as a team of fully armed elven warriors galloped over atop Demonic Wildebeests.

The elven warriors clearly didn’t expect to come across such a city like the Miracle City in the Red Earth Wasteland. They pulled their reins and stopped outside the arrow shooting range.

Yang Feng raised his voice: “Elves, I am the master of the Miracle City, the Great Wizard Ian. Why have you come?”

“So you’re the villain! Give us back our people, Nancy and Nanni. Otherwise, I’ll shoot you!”

A lovely, peerlessly beautiful elven girl with a curvaceous waist, a fiery and sexy body – far sexier than that of ordinary elves – a golden pony tail, and a delicate and exquisite face urged her mount to emerged from the crowd of beauties, drew the elven bow from her back, shouted lovely, and shot an arrow at Yang Feng!

After crossing 200 meters, the green arrow carrying a strong wind passed 1 centimeter away from Yang Feng’s face. His face turned slightly reddish from being brushed against by the strong wind.

Yang Feng didn’t flinch. However, he slightly creased his brows and said: “I heard that elves are elegant and reasonable. Was it just hearsay? Are elves that bad at communication?”

The elves wanted to see Yang Feng cut a sorry figure while dodging the arrow, but they didn’t even see Yang Feng flinch. They were stirred within and secretly praised him.

The leader of the elves, a peerless beauty with long, blue hair, an exquisite appearance, and full of feminine charms urged her mount to step forward and said indifferently: “I am Belinda, the leader of this elven troop. We elves are certainly good at communication. However, with those who harm our people, it’s difficult for us to suppress the urge to kill those vile swine. Great Wizard Ian, we received the information that you purchased Nancy and Nanni, who are our people, at the slave market. Please hand them over.”

Upon hearing Belinda, the elves viciously stared at Yang Feng.

Human aristocrats were thrilled to possess a beautiful pureblood elven slave. The lifespan of the pureblood elves was upwards of 1,000 years, which also meant that the suffering of elven slaves was practically endless. Many elven slaves had miserable outcomes. The Elven Empire’s elves loathed human slave hunters and slave owners the most.

“No problem.” Yang Feng smiled and continued indifferently: “I wanted to return them to you to begin with. Since you’re here, then that’s just right. I’ll return them to you.”

Belinda didn’t expect that and she gave Yang Feng a profound look.

Although she didn’t show it, but when she saw the strange Miracle City in the Red Earth Wasteland, Belinda was ready to withdraw. The 300 elven warriors were not ready to besiege a city, much less a city with a Great Wizard. That would be suicidal. It never crossed her mind that Yang Feng would so easily return them Nancy and Nanni.

The other elves also couldn’t believe their ears, looking at one another.

Not long after, the Miracle City’s gate opened.

Nancy took Nanni’s little hand and walked towards her people.

“Aunt Nancy, Sister Nanni, are you alright? Did that man bully you? If he did bully you, then I’ll shoot him dead!”

The lovely elven girl with a fiery and sexy body, and a peerlessly beautiful appearance next to Belinda urged her mount to rush towards Nancy and Nanni and asked loudly.

Nancy raised her voice: “He hasn’t, Karina. In fact, it was really out of kindness that Master Ian purchased us from the vile slave merchants. He has always been very good to us.”

When they heard Nancy, the elves heaved a sigh of relief and their gaze turned milder as they looked at Yang Feng.

Belinda stepped forward, bowed slightly toward Yang Feng in the distance in salute, and said: “Master Ian, I’m very sorry, the information we got was wrong. I want to apologize for our recklessness. Finally, I want to sincerely thank you for saving our people. In the future, we’ll repay you thrice as much as you spent.”

Yang Feng smiled faintly and said: “Belinda, I can understand how you feel. It’s a thing of the past. I always admired the beautiful and elegant elves. I would like to request an audience with the Elven Empire’s Her Highness Great Elven Monarch Esramia, can you satisfy this little wish of mine?”

Belinda replied: “Sorry, I am just a small-time commander and have no authority to agree to your request. However, I’ll report your request to my higher-ups and let them decide.”

Yang Feng said with a smile: “Thank you.”

Yang Feng’s purpose wasn’t to request an audience with the Elven Empire’s Great Elven Monarch, but to show a sign of goodwill toward the Elven Empire. In the Red Earth Wasteland, offending the Elven Empire would be very troublesome.

“Goodbye!” Once Nancy and her daughter entered their ranks, Belinda took the elves back to the Elven Empire.

“Don’t let me down!” Yang Feng looked at the backs of the departing elves and muttered meaningfully.

In a distant corner of the Red Earth Wasteland.

Looking at the sky, Artais' expression became unsightly and he cursed in a low voice: “Fuck, the elves left!!”

Gerald hurriedly asked: “They left? Were they defeated?”

Artais frowned, saying: “No, it looks like they haven’t even fought!”

Gerald was disappointed.

Artais’ eyes lit up and flashed with a fierce glint, and he muttered: “But we’re not out of options! There are 300 elves here! Besides, this isn’t a jungle, but the Red Earth Wasteland! We’ll make a fortune if we can capture the 300 pureblood elves.”

In jungles and forests, the fighting strength of elves was extremely terrifying and their archery was elusive. If human warriors, with 20 times more people than elves, entered a jungle to fight elves, defeat would be all but guaranteed. However, in the open and flat Red Earth Wasteland, the fighting strength of elves wasn’t as terrifying.

Gerald said very hesitantly: “But elves have formidable battle prowess!”

The elves had a long lifespan and superior talent. If practicing diligently, each individual would be a powerhouse. In the elven combat troop, each member was a powerful warrior with qi that could shoot a human Knight rank powerhouse dead.

The 300-strong, armed to the teeth pureblood elven combat troop was definitely a terrifying and formidable force.

Artais licked his lips and said in a very chilly voice: “The both of us have a total of 4,000 people. With 10 times the numbers and an open field as the battlefield, we can defeat them. Besides, I still have 10 magic scrolls and 20 Apprentice Wizards. Isn’t that enough to capture them?”

On the Feisuo Plane, Wizards had a honored status and were very rare. However, due to the Weave, it was much easier to become an Apprentice Wizard on the Feisuo Plane than an Apprentice Warlock on the Cangzhi Plane. And even though the Wizard system was extremely backward, but the number of Apprentice Wizards was not small.

Gerald thought for a moment. Finally, he raised his head and a scarlet glint flashed past his eyes: “I can also provide 10 magic scrolls plus 30 Apprentice Wizards under my command. Let’s do it!!”

Pureblood elves hid in the Elven Empire, they were very rare and difficult to capture. The Elven Woods inhabited by the Elven Empire were a restricted area for humans. Any human that trespassed on the Elven Woods would be immediately killed by the Elven Empire’s law-enforcement team.

To hunt pureblood elves, slave hunters would have to pay a price in blood.

The number of human slave hunters killed in the Elven Woods was over 100,000. However, due to the huge profits, there were still people going to the Elven Woods to capture pureblood elves each year.

In the Rydgex City, the pair of mother and daughter pureblood elves, Nancy and Nanni, were purchased by Yang Feng for 15,000 gold coins because he was a Great Wizard and no one dared to offend a Great Wizard, and the price of slaves in the Rydgex City’s slave market was on the low side. Otherwise, it was impossible to purchase a pair of mother and daughter pureblood elves for 15,000 gold coins.

If it was in the Morrince Empire’s imperial capital, where top magnates and tycoons gathered, the pair of mother and daughter pureblood elves could definitely fetch hundreds of thousands of gold coins in an auction house. Even 1,000,000 gold coins wouldn’t be strange.

As the small-time slave hunters had no way to sell the precious pureblood elves, Nancy and Nanni, in the imperial capital, they were forced to sell them in the Rydgex City.

300 pureblood elves, if sold in the imperial capital, would certainly cause an uproar among those top magnates and tycoons.

The Red Earth Wasteland.

Nancy spurred her mount to beside Belinda and said with creased eyebrows: “Belinda, I feel like there’s something in the sky watching us.”

“Really?” Belinda’s eyebrows arched. She silently recited an incantation, her eyes blossomed with traces of radiance, and she looked towards the sky, where she saw a black eagle travel amid the clouds and monitor the land below.

“It’s a Black Demonic Eagle of the human slave hunters!” Belinda’s complexion turned very unsightly. She issued a piercing howl, stimulated her powerful, Firmament Knight (level-2 Warlock) rank qi, and shot an arrow into the sky. An emerald green radiance soared into the sky and went straight into the clouds. After spanning a distance of 1,000 meters, it shot out from an eyeball of the Black Demonic Eagle, running through its brain.

The Black Demonic Eagle dropped to the ground.

Belinda barked: “Prepare for battle! We'll have company soon!”

Karina spurred her mount over and said with arched eyebrows: “What? Does that Master Ian want to attack us in bad faith?”

“I think that it shouldn’t be him!” Nancy shook her head and said: “The strength of Master Ian is unfathomable. The Miracle City you just saw was built overnight. If he wanted to put his hands on us, then his best chance would have been next to the Miracle City.”

Kirina’s eyes flashed with incredulity and she exclaimed: “What? That city was built overnight? How is that possible? Even those Legend Wizards (Great Warlocks) of legends can’t do that!!”

Belinda also was shocked and her eyes flashed with incredulity. Even the Elven Empire’s Great Elven Monarch Esramia couldn’t build such a majestic and grand city overnight. It was simply miraculous.

Nancy said: “I saw this with my own eyes! I suspect that he’s a divine chosen of the Weave Goddess. He came to the Red Earth Wasteland to spread the Weave Goddess’ glory and faith.”

“A divine chosen!” Belinda and Karina were touched by this remark.

The Feisuo Plane had gods.

Those chosen by gods and blessed with great power were called divine chosen. The gods would pay their divine chosen some attention from time to time, not only bestowing them strength, but also personally guiding them, and letting them spread the gods’ glory. Historically, divine chosen were favored by the heavens, they had done many great things and were very reputable. Based on their achievements, some divine chosen doted on by their gods could even be turned into gods of the respective divine systems.

Belinda clenched the bow in her hand and her beautiful eyes flashed with a touch of graveness: “Whether he’s a divine chosen or not, our troubles are here!”

4,000 cavalrymen along with a dense cloud of dust appeared ahead and fanned to the sides, completely cutting off the way of retreat of Belinda and the other elves.

“It's those damn human slave hunters!!” When Karina saw the black-clothed, fully armed cavalrymen releasing a valiant aura, her pretty eyes flashed with ire. She erupted with terrifying, Firmament Knight rank qi and shot an arrow. An emerald green, light arrow suddenly erupted and shot towards the human cavalrymen.

The emerald green, light arrow was very precise, it hit the human cavalrymen from 1,000 meters away. After running through 4 human cavalrymen, the arrow still continued to fly for another 2,000 meters before dropping to the ground.

Seeing the power of Karina’s arrow, the slave hunters’ morale declined sharply.

His eyes bloodshot, Gerald gave some crude encouragements: “I’ll reward you with 3,000 gold coins for every elf you capture. There are 300 elves, capture them alive. I’ll reward you with 900,000 gold coins!! With 900,000 gold coins, you can lead rich lives until the end of your days! Also, I’ll leave an elf for you to vent! Brothers, finish this in one fell swoop! We can vent after we’re done!!”

“For 900,000 gold coins!!”

“For the elves!!”

“I want to have the first go at the elf!”

“No, I want to be the first one!”

“…”

When they heard that, the eyes of the human slave hunters turned bloodshot, they issued strange cries, and recklessly rushed towards the 300 elves.
