The cold river wind roared from south to north, and the sails of the Nature sailed quickly sailed on the Vimur River.

Influenced by the average temperature of the Elf Forest that is higher than the average temperature in other areas all year round, the monsoon will blow from the relatively low-temperature rich plain to the Elf Forest in winter, and on the Vimur River, a south wind that is rare in winter forms.

Sophia stood at the bow of the boat, looking relaxed and expectant. She sometimes looked at the silver-shining river in the distance, sometimes closing her eyes to feel the cool breeze blowing on her body, and was as happy as a bird flying out of the cage.

Until a familiar voice pulled her attention back:

"I'm in a good mood, Miss Viscount."

It's Demacia.

Seeing that disgusting handsome face, the half-elf-girl's expression immediately faded.

However, just as she was about to start ironic mode, Demacia quickly waved:

"Don't...don't scold me, I'm here to deliver something to you."

After saying that, he took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to the other party.

"What's this?"

Sophia frowned.

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, she rarely refused to refuse.

"It records powerful disguise techniques that can help you change your appearance and become an ordinary human."

Demacia said.

“Change appearance?”

Sophia was stunned.

"That's right, in a while, we'll be at the destination. The half-elf's appearance is too conspicuous, so it's better to disguise it. Not only you, we all want to change. This time we escort, we want to disguise ourselves as human mercenaries."

Demacia explained.

After hearing his words, Sophia frowned slightly.

She glanced at her appearance in the river that was obviously different from ordinary humans, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.

“By the way.”

And at this moment, Demacia spoke again.

"What else?"

Sophia asked a little unkindly.

"There is nothing else, I just want to say more. Hewan Town may be a little different from what you imagined, so don't expect too much."

Demacia scratched her head and said.

Listening to his unfinished sentence, Sophia frowned slightly.

She was about to say something, but Demacia turned around and left. I don’t know if she was afraid that she would be ridiculed by the girl after staying for a long time.

"God-talking."

The girl snorted coldly and said.

After Demacia's interruption, her mood for viewing the scenery also dissipated a lot.

Looking at the blue sky, the girl put away the scroll and went to the cabin to rest...

The ship continued to sail, and half a day passed quickly without realizing it.

And when it was almost noon, a not-so-large port town finally appeared in sight.

"Hewan Town is coming! Get ready for disguise and get off the boat right away!"

On the Nature Number, the elves' voices rang.

Sophia was also attracted by the elves' voices. Her eyes lit up and she hurried out of the cabin and looked towards the shore.

However, when she saw the town on the shore clearly, her look of anticipation and excitement quickly turned into shock.

It is a port town less than half the size of Gray Harbor. It is located in a "U"-shaped river bay. The buildings on the shore are low and dilapidated. I don't know how long it has not been repaired.

There were cargo ships of cargo ships parked on the port’s dock, loading cargo, and people coming and going on the shore, which was a bit popular.

However, except for some merchants who came off the merchant ships who were dressed more decently, most of them were dirty and torn and thin, and they could even see some ragged children begging around the merchants, as thin as saplings.

This dilapidated and poor scene forms a sharp contrast with the prosperous and fertile scene of Gray Harbor, so that the girl was slightly lost for a moment.

"This...is Hewan Town?"

She murmured in disbelief.

"Yes, this is our destination, Hewan Town."

Demacia, who appeared again at some point, said.

Sophia did not speak sarcastic about Demacia's sudden interruption, and she seemed to be stunned by the scene in front of her.

She stared at the dilapidated port in front of her, shook her head and said:

"No... impossible, the documents in the castle record that Hewan Town is a pearl on the Vimur River and an important port town in the western territory. How could it be like this?"

"Miss Sophia, don't compare Grey Harbor with this place. The elves' cities are incomparable, and don't compare them with Zeroland, both sides of the Zeroland Riverside are rich areas."

Demacia shook her head.

He took out the scroll and disguised himself as a human mercenary, and said:

"What you see now is the real port of human civilians."

"Let's go, prepare to dock and get off the boat."

...

The Nature slowly drove into the port, and Sophia, who disguised herself as a human mercenary, followed other elves who had also been disguised as elves and boarded the dock.

Their landing immediately attracted the attention of the port residents, and everyone looked at them with curious and vigilant eyes.

When the residents saw their obvious mercenary outfits, many of them changed their faces slightly and left in a hurry. After a while... the port became much deserted.

Only the caravans that unloaded goods looked at them with a guarded look, and many caravan guards held their weapons tightly and made defense gestures.

Seeing this scene, Sophia was slightly stunned.

"Why are they all hiding from us? Is there any problem with our drag?"

she asked in confusion.

Seeing this port town in front of me, which was many times different from the expectations in my mind, the girl was planning to find a resident to ask why it was so dilapidated, but she didn't expect that everyone was hiding from them like she was hiding from the plague...

"This is normal. We are now pretending to be mercenaries, and mercenaries are synonymous with chaos in the human world. For safety, no ordinary people are willing to approach. Of course, this is also our purpose. If you pretend to be mercenaries, you will have less trouble."

An elf who was accompanying explained.

Sophia was even more shocked when she heard this:

"Why? Could it be that mercenaries dare to be presumptuous in the city? Are you not afraid that the city guards will put them in prison?!"

The talking elf spread his hands:

"Then I don't know. I've been to Maple Leaf Leader once. I only know that civilians are afraid of mercenaries, and I don't know the others. However, Demacia has seen a lot, so he should know more specific situations."

After hearing the elf's words, Sophia fell into silence.

Instead of continuing to get entangled in this topic, she followed the elves who had got off the boat and rode a dragon-scale horse disguised as ordinary horses and walked towards the town.

As he entered the town, the more detailed appearance of Hewan Town gradually appeared in front of the girl.

Low buildings, dirty streets, poor residents...

This poor and backward scene greatly impacted the girl's worldview.

The pedestrians who were coming and going had numb faces and had no vitality. Their gaze was filled with fear. That kind of fear... made Sophia's heart inexplicably sour.

Along the way, the girl noticed even more keenly that she had not seen even a soldier in the city guard along the way.

Riding on the dragon scale horse, the group slowly advanced in the awe of the residents.

Suddenly, a noise and scolding attracted Sophia's attention.

It was in front of a dilapidated tavern, and several humans dressed in mercenaries were punching and kicking an old woman in a basket.

A fruit basket was overturned on the ground, and many of the wild fruits scattered all over the ground had been trampled by the mercenaries, and the mercenaries burst into arrogance and laughed loudly.

Seeing this scene, a trace of anger flashed across Sophia's face.

She pinched the necklace on her chest and was about to chant something when a more rapid figure rushed out of the team.

It was a female elf disguised as a mercenary. Sophia remembered that the other party seemed to be called Moonxia Moon. She snorted coldly and kicked several mercenaries away in a few seconds.

"roll."

Jasmine under the moon said coldly.

Several mercenaries climbed up from the ground and were about to get angry, but felt the powerful aura on the other party, and instantly turned into horror. Then they did not pick up the equipment that fell to the ground, and they even rolled and crawled away.

Seeing this, Sophia let go of the necklace in her hand, she turned over and dismounted, came to the old woman to help the other party up, and picked up the berries that fell to the ground one by one.
To be continued...
