I raise elves in Florian

Chapter 127 Pass 2

"Tap tap tap".

Footsteps came from behind Shutark.

Shutark turned his head and saw that the person who came was Philen, who was also looking at Shutark.

"What's wrong! It's just an ice cream."

Shutark moved the ice cream closer to himself, as if afraid that Philon would snatch it from him.

"Excuse me, could I have a glass of milk?"

Philon sat down in the chair next to Shutark and asked the owner for a glass of milk.

"Ok."

The boss nodded and turned to get milk for Philon.

"Hey! What's wrong? What are you angry about?"

Shutark looked at Philen sitting to the side and sensed that Philen was in a bad mood.

"Mr. Shutark."

Philen called out to Shutark, but Shutark did not understand what Philen meant.

"I know! I'll give you half."

Shutark said to Philen with a reluctant look, "There wasn't much ice cream to begin with, and now half of it is going to be taken away."

“That’s not what I meant. What would you think if I said we might have to wait at least two years in this city?”

While Philen was speaking to Shutark, the shopkeeper had already placed the milk in front of Philen.

"I don't want to."

He wouldn't stay here for two years! He'd rather go back to his master.

"That's right! You don't want to, do you!"

Philon agreed with Shutark; she didn't want to wait there either, which was why she was trying to find a solution.

"Hmm... what's wrong with this person?"

Shutark thought to himself, "Everything was normal just now, how did it suddenly turn out like this?"

"I'm relieved. Mr. Shutark's thought process is quite ordinary."

Seeing that Hugh Tarek was also unwilling to wait here foolishly for two years, Philon breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that she was the only one who didn't want to stay here for two years.

"Hey, what did I do to you? Why are you saying that to me?"

Shutark looked at Philon with a speechless expression. He'd only ever eaten ice cream! Why was he saying that about him?

"We need to find a way to get through this, otherwise, given Lady Frilian's personality, she'll keep dragging this on indefinitely."

As Philen drank her milk, she spoke to Hugh Tarek. Just thinking about Frilian's attitude earlier made Philen a little angry. She knew Frilian was the kind of person who wouldn't do anything without a reason.

"Didn't you also say that it would take at least two years for this hurdle to be overcome?"

Shutark happily ate his ice cream, but he couldn't figure out what Philen had just said, so he might as well just enjoy his ice cream.

"That's why we need to find a way to get there."

"I'm so annoyed," Phil said, looking at Shutark who was eating ice cream without a care in the world, feeling speechless.

With a thud, Philon slammed the empty milk glass she was holding onto the bar counter. After paying the owner, Philon got up and left the bar to find Shi Yichen for a solution.

Why not go find Frilian? Because Philon knows Frilian too well. If you go to Frilian, she will tell you not to rush, that the pass here will open soon, and it will only take two or three years. She can use this time to study magic properly.

"Wait for me!"

Seeing Philon leave the bar, Hugh Tarek quickly finished the ice cream in his bowl and then chased after her.

…………

the other side.

"I want this one."

"purchase!"

"I want this too."

"purchase!"

"This is rare, I want one too."

"purchase!"

"Grimoire".

"purchase!"

Frilian held Shi Yichen's hand as they strolled through the magic shop. Shi Yichen would buy Frilian anything she wanted.

Feeling hungry after walking around, the two found a restaurant to eat. Without Philon and Shutark by their side, Frilian acted coquettishly and kissed Shi Yichen, and the two held hands without letting go.

Frilian acted like a wife, holding Shi Yichen's hand as they strolled around. This time alone was precious, so they were determined to enjoy it to the fullest.

Before, when it was just Philon, Frilian wouldn't have been so careful about avoiding suspicion, since everyone was a girl! But now that there's a boy in the group, she has to be a little more discreet with Shi Yichen when she's being intimate with him.

…………

"A way to get through the border? Sure! I'll help you find one."

Hugh Tarek said to Philon, after all, he didn't want to stay here for two or three years.

"Thank you, Mr. Shutark."

Philon was naturally very grateful for Shutark's help; the first person to help made things easier.

"Can't we just fly over there?"

Shutark pointed to the city wall, which was only a dozen meters high. He figured he could definitely fly over it. This was the simple idea that Shutark had come up with.

"It is said that the borders of the northern kingdoms are protected by powerful barriers that extend to the highest altitudes, making them impossible to cross."

Philen explained to Hughtark that she understood him, after all, he was just a warrior who didn't know magic.

"That's true, otherwise flying monsters would have no trouble getting around. There's nothing we can do but ask the Chamber of Commerce! Maybe they're still doing cross-border trade."

Shutark smiled and realized he had oversimplified the situation. He could only ask the merchant guilds that frequently traveled to the northern countries for advice.

"Cross-border trade has also been completely banned, and even escort caravans are not allowed to pass. It seems that the north is truly fraught with danger. We can only wait until the situation stabilizes before making any further plans."

Philon sighed. They had asked all the chambers of commerce in the city, but were told that there was no way to get through the border. It was pointless to try to find a solution through the chambers of commerce.

"No, let's ask the people in the black market and the thieves' guild too!"

Hugh Tarek thought that since even the official chambers of commerce couldn't do anything, he might as well try the unofficial ones; maybe they had a way to get through the border.

"No matter how you look at it, this is far too dangerous!"

Philon looked at Hugh Tarek with a worried expression; the people in the black market weren't so rule-abiding.

"Don't worry! I look pretty strong, and I'm good at bluffing."

Hugh Talke is very confident in his appearance, and the scar on his forehead makes him look even more like a villain.

"After all, he has the face of a bad guy."

Philon also made fun of Hugh Talke's appearance.

"Stop rambling."

Shutark looked at Philen and gestured for her to follow, since the place they were going to was not safe and he had to protect Philen.

After asking around, they still couldn't find a solution.

"There's nothing we can do! Come to think of it, this city is like a defensive siege. If we hold our ground and don't open the gates, we're helpless."

"I stand on the city wall and look out over the northern kingdoms," said Shutark.

"Are we really going to have to wait here for years? Let's go ask Lord Shi Yichen!"

Philen sighed deeply. She didn't want to waste time here. If it were Lord Shi Yichen, he would definitely have a way.

"That's all we can do."

Hearing Philen's words, Hugh Tarek nodded.
