Another Life: Elf Archer

The three large tribes of the elves, Morrigan, Dagda and Boand, are distributed in a triangle in the Jaces Forest.

Dagda is to the southwest, adjacent to human territory; Boander is to the southeast, very close to the coastline; Morrigan is located in the north, and dozens of miles further north is the hilly area where the dwarves live.

The area where Dagda and Boand are located is relatively flat, but Morrigan and its surrounding areas have rolling hills, towering stone peaks, and deep caves. The tribal landscape here also presents another aspect. Features.

Nian Nian and Qi Youfeng walked around and walked into a cave hidden behind vines at noon on the third day after leaving Dagda. It was considered that they had entered the area where Morrigan belonged.

The cave was just a short passage. When they walked out of the cave, a bit of cold air was breathed into their lungs.

Looking up every year, the towering trees cut the sunlight into countless fragments, and the pale afterglow shines into the bare tree trunks, leaving only a layer of lingering coldness on the earth.

Nian Nian shuddered and subconsciously grabbed Qi Youfeng's hand. When he heard a harsh crow, he let his slightly cold fingertips hide in his warm and dry palm.

"It's cold." Qi Youfeng took her other hand and put it in his arms.

"It's okay, let's keep walking." Nian Nian let herself relax and smiled at him.

"Well," Qi Youfeng put the hat on her cloak on her and adjusted her collar, "the vegetation here seems to be very different from other places."

There are many tall and lush trees in the Jesses Forest, which are lush and green and look full of vitality.But the trees here have no side branches. The needle-like leaves are scattered on the few twigs. The trunk itself is so high that you can't see the end at a glance, as if it is scrambling to struggle in the sun. Carefully, he grew into a thin, deformed figure, which was inexplicably desolate.

"It's my first time here too." Nian Nian tightened his cloak, identified the direction, and pulled Qi Youfeng forward.

"Fortunately, Dion and Alexander came here first, otherwise I would have thought I was going the wrong way."

"Let's go find them first" Qi Youfeng asked.

"Well, they're already waiting for us in Morrigan."

After a while, the two of them saw some traces of living creatures in the forest.

"There are many ferocious beasts near Morrigan, so the overall ethos of this tribe is rare among the elves to be martial, but it is also more indifferent and selfish than the elves of other tribes."

After Nian Nian finished speaking, he looked around and saw that the surface where sunlight could not reach was covered with low and thorny shrubs. The parasitic organisms were entangled in everything that could be climbed, strangulating the already skinny trees to the point of dying.

"Probably, it's also the influence of the environment."

"It's also more exclusive," Qi Youfeng asked thoughtfully.

“It’s hard to say,” Niannian is not sure. “Although the Feises Forest has become a tourist attraction, I guess not many people will come here. It is probably still relatively closed. status."

There is generally no problem with this judgment every year.

There were indeed no traces of "people" near Morrigan, but as they gradually approached the central area of ​​Morrigan, they still found many dwarves of other races.

The decree issued by the two new elders of the elves in collaboration with the patriarch will naturally take effect in Morrigan, and the elves here are not allowed to harm these foreign visitors without reason.

However, no one can guarantee whether these seemingly honest and curious little guests have any intention of harming the elves.

"It's for the gold."

Looking at another group of dwarves passing by them, Qi Youfeng whispered to Nian Nian with a very firm tone.

The appearance of the dwarves is almost the same as that of the humans. Apart from their child-like height, their most notable appearance features are albino-like white skin, silver-white hair and pale pink eyes.

These dwarves also like to dress themselves up cute and lively, and they are very particular about their clothes. Dwarves like York and Kraft, who wear strange clothes or are unkempt, are really alien.

To a certain extent, these dwarf boys and girls are more like elves from the fairyland than the elves.

It's just that compared to the elves who almost drink the wind and food, the dwarves' eating habits are more generous. They can be said to be meat-free and they are all big eaters.

"Obviously." Nian Nian sighed, "Forget it, let's go find Dion and the others first."

Dion and Alexander temporarily lived in an unused vine house in Morrigan, said to be provided by Dion's new girlfriend.

This vine house is derived from the parasitic plant wrapped around the tree trunk. After being molded by magic, it has become a round cage house dotted in the forest. It looks like green tumors growing on the tree trunk, with thin The comparison of the thin trunk makes people worry that the tree will break at any time.

The two of them followed the prompts and found the vine house where Dion and his wife were. They climbed up on the vine ladder, stood in front of the vine house and thought about it. Then Nian Nian raised his hand and patted the curtain-like door.

The person who opened the door was a strange elf woman. When she saw Nian Nianhou, she looked wary at first. When she saw Qi Youfeng beside her and the hands they were holding, her hostility turned into enthusiasm, and she immediately invited them into the house. .

"Why are you two the only ones here?"

Dion, who was sitting at the table by the wall, raised his hand and pulled the elf woman into his arms, saying thank you softly.

"other people"

Nian Nian looked at the strange girl with a blushing face.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Dion understood, gave a farewell kiss, stood up and pulled Alexander up who was sitting on the wall in the corner.

"Oh, you come every year"

Alexander hurriedly put away the book in his hand, took out two small cotton-like balls from his ears, glanced at Dion complainingly, and complained to Nian Nian:

"You're finally here. I'm almost bored to death with these two."

After hearing this, the elf woman lowered her head with a blushing face. Dion was calm and shrugged: "I told you I don't mind."

Alexander glared at him, awkwardly avoiding the girl's secret glances, and walked out the door.

After thinking about it for a while, Nian Nian realized what was going on. He couldn't help but shook his head in amusement, and pulled Qi Youfeng to catch up with Alexander.

Although the nerd Alexander is relatively weak, he is tall and handsome in appearance. His brown-red skin is quite exotic. As long as he doesn't speak, he is quite attractive.

"Thank you for your hospitality these days, take care."

Dion took the girl's hand, pressed a kiss on the back of it, and quickly walked out the door.

"Do you think that girl realized that you were breaking up with her just now?"

Nian Nian looked at Dion with disdain.

"I told her I would leave once the people I was waiting for came to Morrigan and she agreed."

Dion replied frankly.

"Scum."

I roll my eyes every year and say no more.

Several people turned around and found a relatively secluded place. Three delicate red roses bloomed from Dion's hands and floated to the tops of several people's heads and slowly rotated.

"It's Sui and Young Master Yan who went to Boander. They want to discuss with Engus the mining of purple gold and other mineral deposits in the elves."

Qi Youfeng looked at Nian Nian.

"The two brothers Dionysus took out a lot of purple gold ore as prizes for the art festival, which attracted a lot of covetousness. Instead of concealing the existence of these mineral deposits and causing thieves to run around, they might as well just join the elves. under the management.”

"Furthermore, it is a very obvious fact that the two brothers and the people behind the scenes have bad intentions towards the elves. Shi Sui and Simir have long been familiar with each other, and our mercenary group has also had many interactions with that guy. It is better to use part of the wealth By cooperating with Simiel, if the two brothers and sisters want to do anything in the future, the elves will not be alone."

Dion and Alexander each thought deeply. After a while, Dion nodded:

"Many elven players already know about the tribe established by Sui and others to take in those children and the help of Engus to open up the road. They also have a good impression of their guild. They are already closely connected with the interests of the elves and will be involved in the guild." It is reasonable to intervene in the affairs of the elves during this sensitive period and want to participate in the mining and distribution of mineral resources."

"More and more dwarves have crossed the border and come to Jaces recently. They are wandering around in groups, saying they are enjoying the scenery, but in fact many players in Morrigan have guessed what they want to do."

Alexander sighed and continued:

"But they are just strolling around, and no one can use this as an excuse to drive them away."

"Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about you."

Qi Youfeng interjected at the right time.

"It's just that although the elves hate the harassment of these foreigners, they are not very interested in the hard work of mining mineral deposits, let alone the subsequent smelting, forging and transportation. There are not so many over there. Manpower please”

Dion intercepted this sentence himself and nodded again:

"Yes, you just said that you can cooperate with Simir, or in other words, cooperate with those human kingdoms that Simir has won over."

Anyway, the Jesus Forest is now open to the outside world. As long as they do not disturb the daily life of the elves, there is no difference between ordinary tourists and workers.

"But, there is another problem," Alexander rolled his eyes. "None of us have the mine distribution map."

"The mine map should be in the hands of the Duke of Usher. He seems to have a personal relationship with Engus. He went to see Engus last year to see if he could open up this relationship." Niannian replied.

"Speaking of this Duke, have you ever thought about where the gold in the hands of the two brothers and sisters came from?" Dion raised his eyebrows.

"I've thought about it, but I think," Nian Nian touched his chin, "the worst-case scenario is that the Duke wants to take advantage of both sides to get rich. He may not have a clear position."

Giving her water in the arena was considered a personal relationship between the Duke and Engus, but when he snatched away the mine map and silenced the dwarf who drew it, he may not have shown some favor to the elves.

"Actually," Qi Youfeng said, attracting the attention of the other three people, "the important thing is not the picture, but the mineral vein."

Hearing this, Nian Nian seemed to suddenly realize it. She turned her head and kissed him hard on the face. She looked at Dion and the two of them smiled and said:

"Yes, without the picture the Duke has, we can't draw another one. Anyway, these stones will not wander around if they are buried in the ground."

"We asked Kraft and York to come over too. Even if they don't know how to explore for mineral veins, they can still sneak into the dwarf players."

Dion immediately sent out two messages.

"Actually, we can just cooperate with the dwarves. Don't they like mining? Just let them do all the hard work."

Nian Nian rolled his eyes and punched his palm:

"Let Shi Sui sign a contract with them"

"Then let Songqing change the content and refuse the payment directly."

Qi Youfeng guessed the second half of Nian Nian's sentence.

"It's so immoral," Alexander condemned.

"The dwarves will not suffer in vain. It can easily trigger a war between the two races." Dion also disagreed.

"I'll just tell you." Nian Nian spread his hands and said innocently.

"Let's see what Engus says first. If he doesn't support this idea, then it will be useless no matter how many plans we have now." Dion said.

Nian Nian nodded and asked another thing:

"Didn't you discover several mines that are being mined secretly? What's the situation now?"

"They also seem to know that there are too many rats in the woods recently, and they are acting more cautiously than before. We paid attention to them for a day and found that they do not need our help to cover up."

"What is the identity of the miners who mine?" I ask again every year.

"Mostly humans," Dion replied.

"Ordinary humans account for [-]%, half-orcs account for [-]%, and the remaining [-]% should be hybrids. I also saw two people on the wanted notice of the mercenary association."

The data provided by Alexander are more detailed.

"Why does it sound so much like our dear City of Usher?" Nian Nian winked.

"So you should have guessed who the owners of these secret mines are." Dion smiled.

Nian Nian pouted: "Why do I want to cause trouble for him so much? I steal our things to buy him beautiful clothes and jewelry."

The gold and silver jewelry on that guy's body can almost stand up on his own. If one day he becomes paralyzed, he will still be able to stand up.

"Even if you take into account Engus's feelings, you can't openly oppose him." Dion smiled slightly.

"Then it's not on the surface."

Three dwarf players passed by and looked at the translucent shield curiously.

"For example, borrowing a knife to kill someone" lv
