Because the castle of the Elf King was originally located in the easternmost part of the northern part of the Great Jungle Forest—it was originally in the south, but was forced to move again and again by Sauron’s demonic energy, and finally moved to the Great North—so the distance The edge of the forest is not far away.

When the first ray of morning light appeared on the horizon, Joe successfully walked out of the dense forest and came to a long river.Here is where she parted from the dwarves before.

Joe didn't know how long the world time had passed since he returned to Hogwarts.But even if it's less, it's still a month, because that guy Bai's body has grown a lot, and he's round.In short, it is impossible for the dwarves to continue waiting for her here. After so long, they probably have already gone to Changhu Town.

Well, Joe couldn't quite remember whether that was Laketown or Riverdale anyway.Anyway, this river, no, this lake is called Long Lake.It does look very long and wide.The rising sun casts fine rays of light on the lake surface, and the water surface trembles slightly with the breeze, giving off a little phosphorescence.

The road along the river became rough, the lake became more and more open, and the road ahead was blocked.Joe recalled the maps he had seen with the dwarves and the Elven King. It seemed that the long lake was the only thing between the dense forest and the lonely mountain.

If you want to go around the lake, it seems that you have to go a very long way.But to cross the lake directly, Joe has no boat.That's a pity, if only there was a broomstick or something here.

Jo was unwilling to take a detour, and couldn't swim or fly directly through the air. When she was struggling, she saw a board by the river.

The plank was a bit worn out, but it was big, about two deer long and a deer wide, at least big enough for Joe to sit cross-legged on.After thinking for a while, Joe put the plank in the shallow water by the lake, sat on it by himself, fastened it tightly to the plank at both ends with clothes straps, and cast a light-as-a-feather spell on himself.

This spell is usually used to lighten luggage, but works just as well on people.For a moment, Joe only felt that his body was extremely light, and the wooden board changed from being submerged in the water to floating on the water.With another puff of wind from the tip of her wand, Jo pushed the board forward.

Of course, for some reason, Joe didn't master the method of blowing the wind as she wanted, so she could only sit upside down on the wooden board, stretch her arms forward, and point the mouth of the wand at the wooden board to blow the wind forward.Although it moves fast in this way, the disadvantage is that it is impossible to observe the front at all times, so sometimes it will hit rocks or something.It's okay for Joe to be bumped a few times. She doesn't have any weight anyway, but it's not good for the board to fall apart. So then Joe chose to face the front directly and point the wand behind her to blow the wind.

The disadvantage of this forward method is that sometimes the posture is not well grasped, and it is easy to let the air vent blow on the buttocks, and then Joe will be blown and rolled directly because his body is too light.Anyway, that's what happened without a boat and without a broom, and Jo now regretted that she didn't go out with a broomstick up her sleeve.

It is worth mentioning that Joe also encountered several boats on the voyage, and the people on board seemed to be fishing in the lake and busy casting nets.Joe tried to go to the boat, but the other party did not know why and hurriedly avoided her without waiting for her to approach.Only one did not run away, but the owner of the ship said that if he boarded the ship, he had to pay the money. Joe gave him a copper Knut, but the man said that he would not accept coins that he did not recognize.Joe could not hand over the dwarf's gold coin or sapphire ring, so he continued to walk alone with the wind blowing on the plank.

Not long after, she came to the middle of Long Lake.Because there is a huge boulder blocking it, a large piece of calm lake surface is separated in the middle of the lake. No matter it is windy or rainy, the lake water will not have any turmoil.Some humans built piles here to build houses, and built some simple houses.However, there are only a few isolated houses, which are far from reaching the level of a small town.

It seems that these houses were built by fishermen, probably for the convenience of living while fishing. In addition, there is a small shop specializing in buying various fish and a small hotel.Joe sold some of the fish that he had jumped onto the plank while crossing the river to the shopkeeper who bought them, and got two dirty coins.Then she entered the hotel with the copper in her hand, intending to order a cup of tea.

"There's only wine here, my guest." The waitress in an apron, known as Miss Sally, shrugged and said to Joe, "and the cheapest wine costs three copper coins. Of course, if you don't mind, miss I can have half a glass."

"...What about the food?" Joe was very confused. She couldn't help but think of the silver and gold decorations in the Elf King's bedroom.Well, stealing is not something a good child should do. She sucked her bitten finger, which was still not scarred, and shook her head vigorously to drive away the thoughts that shouldn't have from her mind.

"Well, I suggest you have a slice of cheese and a piece of black bread." Miss Sally winked at Joe, "My sister likes this combination the most."

"Then here are these," said Jo happily, and she put the coins in Miss Sally's hand.The girl, who is not more than two years older than her, has calluses on her hands, which are rough and swollen, and are full of cracks from the sun.With a slight movement in Joe's heart, he quietly raised his magic wand, and pointed towards the opponent's palm, only to see a flash of light, and Miss Sally's hand instantly became white and tender, and even the calluses on the palm disappeared without a trace.

Both Joe and Miss Sally's eyes widened, and they froze in place for a moment. They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.But because of the voices calling Sally one after another in the tavern, the waitress with big breasts, freckles and a bright smile quickly came to her senses.She stepped forward, hugged Joe gently, and whispered in her ear, "Thank you. If my sister was alive, she would be as old as you."

Miss Sally sighed impossibly, let go of Joe, and turned around like a butterfly from among the tables and chairs that were kicked crookedly by the guests.Presently she brought over a tray with a piece of bacon and a bowl of vegetable soup besides the black bread and cheese.Miss Sallie, however, was not talking to Jo any more, and as she hastily delivered the tray she began to curse at a visitor for touching her bottom.The guest was scolded so badly by her, but he didn't refute anything, just smiled and touched his head and listened honestly.Qiao was watching the fun while eating bread, but saw a middle-aged man walk up to the seat opposite her and sit down.

This guy was about 30 years old, pale and thin, with deep laugh lines around his mouth when he grinned.He leaned on the table with one hand, looked at Joe and said, "Little girl, are you alone?"

"Four, is it swollen?" Jo was chewing hard on the bacon. The meat tasted weird and hard, and it was hard to chew. She was reluctant to spit it out, so her speech was a bit slurred.The middle-aged man didn't listen to her answer at all, he just leaned forward, his elbow almost touched the little girl's plate, and continued: "Would you like to go play with uncle?" -"

Before he finished speaking, he slid back suddenly, and the violent movement made the whole table tremble—Joe hurriedly hugged her plate—but saw a young man with curly black hair holding the plate in his hand. the collar of the young man, threw him on the ground, and shouted: "Get out!"

The middle-aged man got up from the ground and was about to rush forward when he noticed the long sword on the black-haired man's waist.He poohed angrily on the ground, turned around and left angrily, while the black-haired man sat opposite Joe, and slammed the long sword on the table, and many guys around to watch the excitement dispersed.

"That girl Sally asked me to come and sit here—to help you fight off those guys with ulterior motives, but this is really troublesome, you made me offend people." The black-haired man tilted his head, reaching out to try to grab The cheese on Joe's plate was knocked off by Sally who was passing by.The dark-haired man shrugged gloomily.

"Look, she looks like this." The man said.

Joe finally swallowed the bacon in his mouth, and also recognized that the guy in front of him was the young guest who touched Sally's ass just now.This behavior is really hard for people to judge whether he is good or bad, but just now he seemed to drive away the strange guys for himself, so let's just think he is a good person.So Joe took the initiative to offer the cheese on his plate to express his sincere thanks to him.

The black-haired man was amused by Joe's actions. He made a gesture to touch the little girl's face. After seeing that she didn't hide, he withdrew his hand boredly. He just grabbed the cheese and asked while chewing, "I haven't seen it here before." You, you should be someone from other places? Are you here to join relatives? Or do you want to do some business? But I’m afraid that a little girl like you can’t find a good job, unless she finds someone to marry in the local area. What? So, do I need an introduction? I know a lot of nice guys!"

"No, no, I'm here to find someone." Joe took a sip of the vegetable soup and replied seriously, "If you know a lot of people, you must have a lot of information. I wonder if any dwarves have been here recently? "

"Dwarves..." the black-haired man thought for a while, "Recently, there were dwarves crossing the river, but they didn't stay in Long Lake, but crossed the river to the lonely mountain. I heard that they even built a house under the lonely mountain. What, you want to find dwarves? Those guys are not easy to contact. If you don’t have a deep relationship with them or have enough money, it’s better not to provoke them.”

"I need to find them for something." Joe replied, "Can you please draw me a specific route map, I don't know much about the Lonely Mountain..." Before she could finish her sentence, she saw someone rushing outside the hotel A man came in and shouted, "Alfred!"

The black-haired man turned his head when he heard the words, and it was a boy with short, withered yellow hair who ran in.He glanced at Qiao hurriedly, as if he had some doubts about her identity, and whispered a few words in the black-haired man's ear.His voice was very low, and Joe could only vaguely hear a few words such as "Elf King" and "censorship".Then I saw the black-haired man stand up abruptly, turned his head to leave, and suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Joe: "I have something to do now, and I have to go to Hegu Town right away. If you want to find a dwarf, I can send you You go."

"That's really great." Qiao said happily, she had already had enough of all kinds of forward and backward rolls, and of course it would be best to have a boat.But thinking of the cold reception she received on the river before, she couldn't help asking: "Is it free? I don't have money to pay for the boat..."

"That's a bit bad..." Alfred showed a tangled look, and in the next second he said wretchedly, "If I can get Miss Sally's measurements, I will free your boat fare."

"Miss Sally's, I don't know much..." Joe hesitated, "Is James's okay? But you don't know James... Well, can the Elven King's be okay? I also know the Elven King's."

Alfred: "...do you know the measurements of the Elven King? Have you ever touched it?"

Joe: "That's right."

Although she has never been touched, she has been ridden.At that time, the elves used the height and measurements of the Elf King to stick fake horns on her and determine the height increased by the growth medicine. She heard it when reporting the numbers, not to mention the measurements, even the toes of the Elf King She knows the length of the head!It was just a note at the time, but I didn't expect that it could be used to pay the boat fare now. Does the Elf King have other uses besides hair?
