The entire team stopped at the edge of the Kingdom of Dahir and slowly lined up to pass through the incredibly tall gate, entering this legendary city.
It didn't seem like much from afar, but when they stood before the gate of the Kingdom of Dahir, they deeply understood that it was completely reasonable for the Elves to survive in this chaotic continent for so many years.
If you wanted to look at a race, you had to look at their civilization and achievements.
Many of the main roads leading to Dahir faced a city wall that was at least 100 meters tall. The city wall here wasn't made of wood like the one in Calo City. Instead, it was made of solid stones. There were countless vines entwined on the outside, but they couldn't hide the many exquisite reliefs on the majestic and tall city wall.
On top of the city walls were countless defensive towers. The Elves' aesthetic style was fully reflected. The pointed towers and countless patterns decorated the fortification used for war like a perfect work of art.
A gentle breeze blew past, and the wind chimes hanging at the four corners of the towers let out melodious chimes. It was as if this wasn't a fortification used for war, but an artist's residence.
The three city gates were large in the middle and small on both sides. The arched structure extended upwards. Many people raised their heads and could see that there were countless murals on the arched walls tens of meters above them, which narrated the ancient story beautifully. Many people raised their heads and opened their mouths wide. Apart from Sylvia and Noda, the rest of them had never been to Dahir before. At this moment, they were basically like many people, staring blankly at this scene that seemed to only appear in myths.
The water in the moat outside the city gate flowed rapidly, but the sound of flowing water disappeared the moment they entered Dashiell. Many of them had clearly experienced the power of the magic circle. The chaotic and oppressive feeling outside the city was suffocating, but when they entered Dashiell, all noises were isolated, and there was only tranquility and serenity.
There were many people around. The caravan's carriages followed the leader in order, the peddlers set up stalls near the city gate, and some carriages galloped on the wide main road, but everything seemed so harmonious. There wasn't a sense of chaos or chaos at all. Many people closed their eyes and carefully sensed it. A gust of wind blew past, bringing with it an intoxicating fragrance. At this moment, their uneasy minds that were disturbed by the letter outside the city also became abnormally calm.
How magical!
Many sighed inwardly and took a deep breath before following Noda to the center of the city.
"Many. My house is almost here. Where will you stay after completing the mission?"
Sylner was bouncing up and down. She felt that this was the most exciting and meaningful trip she had ever had in her life.
"Let's find an inn closest to the Mercenary Union. Isn't it time to hand in the mission?
Don't just play. "
He straightened his clothes. The thick bandages made him very uncomfortable, and he felt suffocated when he breathed.
The only thing he wanted to do now was to quickly find a comfortable hotel to rest in. Walking with this bandage was simply torture.
When Sylvia heard that they were going to separate, she immediately felt reluctant. Many people looked at her with pitiful eyes. However, when she saw Noda looking at her with a faint smile, her face immediately turned red. She quickly ran back to the carriage and didn't say anything.
Noda couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud. Many people didn't care. They looked up at the "Tree of Life" that shrouded the entire Dahir City in shadow. They touched the letter in their pockets and didn't say anything. They continued to follow the carriage forward.
The streets in Dahir City were on average three times wider than in Karo City. They didn't feel disorderly at all. Every shop, from the shop sign to the decoration style, had a grand atmosphere, giving the impression of a "flagship store." Everything was extraordinary. Even the road surface was completely paved with flat hexagonal stone bricks. It was completely different from the "pure natural" land in Karo City.
After entering the outer city gate and walking for about half an hour, another city wall appeared. From the scale, it seemed to be slightly smaller than the outer city wall, but it was still majestic. It could be seen that this inner city was built according to the needs of war. The road to the inner city was an all-wooden bridge. The river under the bridge was so deep that the bottom couldn't be seen. However, it wasn't as rapid as outside the city. It was like a slowly flowing stream.
The entire bridge exuded a simple and unadorned aura. Although it could be seen that it was made of wood, it was no different from stone when one stepped on it. Many people looked around. This bridge was more than 80 meters wide and more than 300 meters long. The railings of the bridge were still hollowed out with carvings of figures. Some were drawing bows, some were standing with swords, and all kinds of vivid and lifelike.
When the team walked on the bridge, it seemed that it suddenly quieted down. No one chatted or spoke loudly. All of a sudden, the entire team was like a pilgrim. It seemed that everyone was shocked by this miraculous city, but it also seemed that they didn't want to destroy this ancient tranquil atmosphere. The team walked silently and carefully across the bridge.
After passing through the gate of the inner city, their eyes suddenly widened. The vast square paved with white stone gave off a clean and solemn visual effect. The streets of the "Tree of Life" in the center of the entire city radiated outwards in a scattered manner.
Walking back and forth on the streets were basically all elves. Although the colors of their clothes were still leaning toward the traditional brown or green elves, the style and style were worlds apart from Karo City. It felt like the difference between the countryside and the city. The carriages that came and went in an orderly manner, and even their steps revealed a sense of leisure and confidence.
After passing through the row upon row of streets, the team stopped not far from the huge and complicated roots of the Tree of Life.
When the team was organizing, they found that Noda was silently looking up at the canopy of the tree that covered the sky. He usually had a cynical smile on his face, but at this moment, he was tightly holding the necklace that he always wore. His eyes flashed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
His long purple hair fluttered in the breeze, giving off an unusually desolate feeling.
Sylner jumped off the carriage and quickly signed the contract with Wendolk, who had been silent all the way. After changing into a long dress, she slowly walked to Wendolk and seemed to want to say something, but on second thought, she didn't know what to say.
"Alright, Miss, our mission is completed. Let's go back and rest early. It's quite tiring to travel so many days."
Of course, the team could see that Sylvia was reluctant to leave. She was like a child who was about to have her favorite toy taken away. Seeing Sylvia's two small hands fidgeting with her dress, the team laughed and teased her.
"Then … I'll look for you again. The next time I return to Karo City, I'll look for you."
Sylvia gritted her teeth and used a lot of effort to say these words. As soon as she finished speaking, her little face turned completely red, and her long ears trembled unnaturally. Her lowered eyelids gave off a feeling of tenderness, and her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, causing the team to become absent-minded.
Many nodded and did not say anything. Sylvia blinked her big purple eyes and looked at the team. Seeing that the team was smiling back at her, she shyly looked away and turned around to walk towards the manor that looked like a large manor.
Looking at the guards in scale armor in front of the manor, the team suddenly thought of the letter.
"Sylvia, can you bring this letter to your father?"
Facing the elves, especially those who were close to you, no one would be polite. The team took out the letter and asked.
Sylvia was reluctantly walking towards the gate, wondering when she would be able to come out and go on an adventure with the team. Suddenly, she heard the team call out to her and stopped in her tracks. "Letter?
No problem. "Sylvia bounced back. She was no longer wary of the team.
Many had a plan after hearing this. They carefully folded the letter and handed it to Sylvia. "Please help me give this to your father. It's very important. It's related to the necromancer and this attack."
The team didn't hand over the box with the magic formation engraved on it. At the moment, the team didn't know what the result of this letter would be. It was necessary to leave some leeway and have a backup plan. At the very least, if the elves didn't care about this, it wouldn't be a big loss to give away a piece of paper.
When the team handed the letter to Sylvia, they lightly touched Sylvia's soft and slender hand. Many didn't care, but Sylvia panicked. She stammered and ran away in a panic.
He touched my hand!
What did he mean by that?!
Sylner's heart was in a mess. She thought of those knight novels she had read, in which a princess was kissed on the back of her hand by a knight, and the two of them fell in love. The novels were originally just words, but they were automatically turned into scenes in her mind. However, the heroine in Sylner's mind was herself, while the hero — Sylner, who had overimagined, blushed even more.
Seeing Sylvia running home in a hurry, the team heaved a sigh of relief. They turned around and packed their bags. Meanwhile, Wendolk led the team to the Mercenary Union with the mission completion list. Everyone's salary was waiting to be collected there.
Turning around to look at Noda, Noda seemed to have woken up from his deep thoughts. He did not say anything and only sighed. Holding the silver pendant in his hand, he turned around and followed the team.
Many people watched as Noda caught up to the group. They didn't say anything. They just silently handed him the flask that didn't have much wine left. Noda took the flask and drained it in one gulp. He didn't say anything either. He stuffed the empty flask into his backpack.
At this moment, both of them looked so lonely.
