The Demon Cup Royal Court occupied an extremely large area, not inferior to any large human city. The large lake outside for concealment basically belonged to the scope of the city. However, apart from the core Fairy Castle, the tree houses of ordinary green elves weren’t so tightly built. They looked like villas with their own flower beds and orchards.

There were also alchemy shops, forging rooms, taverns, and arsenals within the Fairy Court, but there was no trade market. The elves’ currency was a kind of jade-like carved leaf with the shape of the Demon Cup Royal Court engraved on it.

However, this kind of currency was only used in a small number of shops in the alchemy shop and forging room. Most of the time, the transactions between the elves were bartered. As long as they could exchange for what they needed, the elves did not mind letting one of their compatriots take advantage of them.

The elves’ forging techniques were excellent. Not only were their saber and sword armor exquisite in appearance, but they were also of high quality. Alchemy and magic scrolls were even more exquisite. If these items were placed in the outside world, then everything would be precious and could be sold for a high price.

Even though the Jondas Kingdom and the Jondar Elves were enemies, there were still many human caravans that ventured into the forest every year in search of trade with the Demon Cup Royal Court.

The Fairy Court was sparsely populated, but compared to the Fairy population of other forests, the Demon Cup Royal Court was already considered a lot. There were roughly 15,000 Green Elves and a small number of Moon Elves in the entire city. If one included the Moon Elf Tribes outside the forest, then the population would exceed 22,000.

More than twenty thousand people in human society were nothing, but the elves were different. Even during the Great Elf Civilization, twenty-two thousand elves were considered a small kingdom.

The elves’ individual abilities were very strong. As long as there were forests, they wouldn’t worry about survival. Because the elves had a long lifespan, most of them cultivated martial skills and magic, and they were well armed. Their martial power was generally comparable to that of human knights or elite archers, and mages and druids were everywhere.

In human society, only twenty to thirty laborers could support a professional soldier. If they were well-trained elite archers and armored knights, they would need at least a hundred laborers to support them. From this point of view, the Demon Cup Royal Court’s martial power wasn’t lacking at all. If they were to go all out, the current Jondas Kingdom wouldn’t be a match for them at all.

Qin Lun strolled around on the gravel path that led to the city, observing the customs of the elves while looking for information he lacked. After chatting with Prince Kris, he realized that there was still a change hidden in the main plot. It was this change that pushed the quest, which was supposed to be only at the major level, to a whole level.

Perhaps with the strength of the fortress guild, they could still handle this Lieutenant Colonel level mission, but Qin Lun faintly felt that he had to find out what was hidden inside and could not allow it to hide. Otherwise, the Lieutenant Colonel level mission might increase the difficulty.

This was not a game. The butterfly effect brought about by the apostles had always worked. The difficulty of the storyline of the quest would not remain unchanged. If the fortress team reached a critical point that they were unable to deal with, then it would be too late.

Qin Lun looked around at the lush scenery on both sides of the road. Within the range of the World Tree Root System, it was difficult for other plants to obtain nutrients, but the elves obviously had a way to deal with it.

They drew out some well-lit areas from the royal court and moved the soil of the forest outside into the royal court. Then, they placed an isolation layer on the ground and planted all kinds of flowers and fruit trees. Although these plants are neither tall nor long, they are enough for ornamental purposes and fruit consumption.

Apart from the elven tree houses, as well as the flower beds and orchards that could be seen everywhere in the elven court, there were many other buildings or venues, which were the arena. The arena was actually the place where the elves usually practiced their martial skills and archery.

As for the cultivation grounds of mages, of course, they would not be in the residential area of the elven civilians. They would generally open up a place with a protective shield for themselves and their disciples to prevent powerful spells from damaging their surroundings.

These arenas were only used for martial arts and archery cultivation. Most of them were very large, and the range of 50 to 80 steps that a human archer could use was simply not in line with the requirements of an elven archer.

(The ancient one-step finger was twice the distance between two feet, about five feet from the old one. Now it is about 1.7 meters.)

The eyesight of the elves far surpassed that of humans. The elven longbows they made were also extremely excellent. In addition, most of the elves had good wind elemental affinity. Their shooting range had generally reached 200 to 300 steps. A few high-grade archers who could cast spells on their arrows could give them a legendary longbow made from dragon bone and dragon tendons. They could even reach seven to eight hundred steps away, comparable to the super snipers of modern society.

At this time, the sun had just risen from the southeast, and the warm sunlight scattered in a green elven city, bringing with it specks of dew reflecting light. The fresh and humid air was refreshing. Most of the arenas had some elves doing morning practice. Even some young elves who hadn’t grown up yet cried out in the blades, swords, and shadows.

The elves did not cultivate and livestock. Their food sources, apart from a small amount of melons and fruits planted, came entirely from forest production and hunting. Nectar, wild fruits, bird eggs, brook fish, birds and beasts. The abundance of Jondar Forest was enough to feed more than 20,000 elves.

This race is not as greedy as humans. In addition to meeting the most basic needs of life, they will even try their best to protect the plants and animals in the forest. Perhaps this was also the fundamental reason for their long lifespans and low reproduction rates as a result of the evolution of nature. With too many people and no production, forests would find it hard to bear.

Qin Lun strolled around the imperial city for half a circle, but he didn’t find any information worth paying attention to. He was a little tired and lazy in his heart. He wasn’t a diligent person at first. Seeing a circle of elves gathered around the edge of a large arena, he immediately walked forward with great interest.

The surrounding elves saw his arrival and immediately dodged a spot. Some of the elves even bowed politely. Of course, these elves didn’t recognize him. They only recognized that Qin Lun’s clothing symbols represented the royal family.

When he entered the city yesterday, the young man was dressed in blood, and the clothes he was wearing were all taken by the guards of the castle. The elves living in the castle, even if they were only knights and guards, had the royal family’s logo on their clothes. They also represented the purest elven bloodline, and were a class that ordinary elves were looking up to.

Qin Lun leaned lazily against the fence of the arena and looked into the arena. He immediately understood why there were so many elves watching.

There were only a few people in this huge arena. They were currently engaged in a real battle of martial skills. The opponents were four elven rangers and a woman. En, it was a woman, not a female elf.

The woman was dressed as a mercenary. Her long purple hair was tied into a ponytail. She wore a silk shirt and sleeveless leather armor. She wore a pair of iron wristbands and open-fingered snares on her wrists. She wore large linen trousers and long leather boots. She wore a black cloth belt around her waist.

The contest between the five of them had probably lasted for some time. The four elven rangers who surrounded her were all so tired that they gasped for breath. However, the mercenary was calm and leisurely. Only a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead. She looked like a heroic martial goddess against the rising sun.

“A human mercenary?” Qin Lun muttered softly. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He narrowed his eyes slightly and his gaze began to wander around the crowd, as if he was a cat that smelled a fishy smell.

He quickly found his companions who seemed to belong to the female mercenary side among the onlookers. They were a few unremarkable mercenaries. There were about six or seven people in this group. There were men and women, both humans and elves. Their attire was much the same as the elven mercenaries Qin Lun possessed. Perhaps their identities were similar.

“Ordinary mercenaries, or another apostle group? It seems like there’s no time for leisure … If they join King Testament through their bloodline, can they get rid of this trouble ahead of time?” Qin Lun rubbed his nose, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Toril World was a mission world with a huge background, so it wasn’t surprising for a second apostle team to appear in the Cup Royal Court. Normally, Qin Lun didn’t mind having competitors, but the current fortress team was too fragile. If there were more competitors, it would be even harder for him. It would be best if he could eliminate them as soon as possible.

Qin Lun’s gaze inadvertently swept over the mercenaries. When he saw one of the elven archers, his entire body suddenly stiffened.

“It’s over. Thank you for accompanying me in the morning exercises!” At this moment, the arrogant words of the mercenary came from the arena.

Qin Lun raised his head and saw that the mercenary’s entire body was shining with a golden battle qi that was like flames as she flew towards the four Fairy Rangers. The intense battle qi that distorted the air extended behind the mercenary and instantly transformed into two exaggerated pairs of battle qi wings.

The enormous wings of Dou Qi spread across half of the arena, making the mercenary look like a beautiful golden butterfly. The faces of the four elven rangers who were facing the female mercenaries changed drastically as they crawled to both sides.

However, their movements were still not fast enough. The tip of the butterfly’s wing touched them, and they instantly smashed into the surroundings like four humanoid cannonballs. Two of them even smashed the fence of the arena to pieces. Fortunately, the four elven rangers weren’t lacking in strength. They covered their arms and snorted for a while before getting up on their own.

“Flamingo?! How could it be her? Dammit, dammit, a small probability!” Qin Lun covered his face and subconsciously dodged to the crowd beside him. When he reacted, the other party probably didn’t recognize his current appearance, so he heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, he was very glad that he had changed into the Elven royal family’s clothes. Otherwise, if he was still dressed as a mercenary, he was afraid that the other party would recognize him as an apostle sooner or later.

Qin Lun turned around and left without turning his head, not looking at the mercenaries. There were many martial skills similar to the [Flamingo], but he believed that he could never mistaken the identity of that woman. The reason for that was because another elven archer who was watching was carrying a light yellow longbow on his back.

As the dark gold weapon he had personally sold, how could Qin Lun not recognize the tough woman who had died under him, Qing Ming’s professional equipment-the Beast King Hunting Bow!

In response, the identity of the mercenary was clear. She must have been Qin Lun’s senior apostle, Lost Vice Commander-Kelly!
