Chapter 394 - Silver Fox (1/2)

Betta soon replied, “Brother Roland, find a half-elf named Losandel in Ill, a town at the border between the Elf Forest and Urganda. He should be able to reach out to Ans for you.”

After that, Betta told Roland how to go to Ill.

“Thank you.”

“You’re too kind.”

Turning off the guild system, Roland informed Vincent of his trip and then teleported to the edge of the Elf Forest. He had left a magic beacon here after the epic quest in this place.

Then, he followed Betta’s instructions and flew westward along the border of Urganda. He found a town at the border of the forest.

It was a trading post between mankind and elves.

Though the elves generally lived in seclusion, there were daily necessities that they needed, such as salt and ironware.

Salt was extremely rare in the Elf Forest and had to be imported from human beings.

As for metals like bronze and iron, although the elves did not have a high demand for them, they still needed those metals. There were plenty of mines in the Elf Forest, but exploiting the metals would destroy the environment. As friends to the environment, the elves simply imported metal products from the human world to keep the forest minimally polluted.

By the same logic, the raw materials for most of the dyes among the elves were imported from the human world, too.

Ill was a town that was established at the border between the two peoples after regular, long-time trading.

Roland slowly descended from the sky and looked around.

The town was not huge, surrounded by a symbolic wall about three meters tall.

The town was divided into two parts. The rear half of the town was full of trees. Many cottages could be vaguely seen from the crowns of those trees.

The human part of the town was much more natural. Black smoke was rose from the blacksmith shops.

The entrance of the town was quite huge. Wagons and carts were coming and going. Many merchants were chit-chatting excitedly.

Roland drew a lot of attention when he landed from the sky, but they soon moved their eyes away.

Mages were indeed revered among human beings, but this was the border with the elves, who were all spellcasters and who were all charming. Human Mages weren’t as remarkable as them.

Actually, Roland liked the atmosphere. He didn’t like special treatment.

Walking on the street, Roland found that the town was very clean.

The human beings here might’ve adopted better hygiene habits under the influence of the elves… When he thought about that, a patrol team of elves came close and stopped in front of a shop. The leading elf dragged the shop owner out and pointed at the trash near the shop. “This is the second time in a month. If I catch you a third time, your shop will be closed for ten days.”

The shop owner was shocked to see the trash. He complained, “Mr. Sheriff, I didn’t throw the trash. I don’t know who did it…”

So that was the case.

Seeing that, Roland knew to whom the cleanliness of Ill should be ascribed.

He was about to leave, when the elven sheriff saw him and walked to him quickly, frowning.

Although he was a dozen meters away, he stopped in Roland’s way after only three steps.

Shadow Walk!

Roland stopped and smiled at the handsome elven male. “Is there anything I can do for you?”

“You’re new here, and you are a Mage.” The elven sheriff observed Roland up and down. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m told that many herbs here are perfect magic materials.” Roland found a justifiable excuse. “And they’re very cheap. So I’m here to see what I can find.”

The magic materials related to plants were mostly from the Elf Forest, so Roland’s claim was absolutely understandable.
