Chapter 178: Elven Observations
Not to mention the dark dwarves, even Eve, who was secretly observing, was stunned.
But soon, he reacted......
Players are meant to do anything to complete tasks and become stronger.
Now that they have taken the task he has given them, they will surely seize any opportunity they may have to complete the task!
When the quest to gain the friendship of the Dark Dwarves is triggered, I'm afraid they'll be ready to show favor to the Dwarves or even lick the dogs......
It must be what the NPCs say, and they do......
After all, in their opinion, the dwarves they encountered this time are also likely to become elf-like quest NPCs!
Soon, the players took off their main equipment and handed it over to the remaining First Legion and Scattered Players for safekeeping, leaving only the simple clothes inside the equipment.
And seeing their movements so quickly, the female dwarf opened her mouth and didn't know what to say......
In the end, she couldn't help but let out an exclamation:
"It's worthy of a bright elf clan!"
"Hmph, Shrine Master, they did it so simply, be careful that there is a conspiracy behind it!"
And at this moment, the old dwarf said again, his eyes still vigilant as he looked at the players, and his words were thick with hostility.
The female dwarf frowned, she looked at the players, but was surprised to find that even after listening to the old dwarf, the players were not angry in the slightest.
And the elf at the head even smiled and said:
"If you're worried about us, you can arrange for a dwarven warrior to keep an eye on us, we really just want to be friends with the dwarves."
Listening to the words of fried tomatoes with tomatoes, the female dwarf's expression softened slightly.
"Captain Templar!"
Seeing her expression, the old dwarf still wanted to speak, but she stretched out her hand to stop her:
"Elder Bahrain, it's okay."
With that, she motioned for the dwarven soldiers to let go of the encirclement of the players, and sighed:
"They are true elves, and I believe in the character of the elves, and I admire the silver race that once were. Since they have come with friendship, we Dark Dwarves should welcome the wandering races, who have also lost their home......"
The Dark Dwarves are an offshoot of the surface dwarves who were first driven and fled underground as losers, and as such, ...... Although they have made their home in the underworld, it is normal for them to laugh at themselves as a wandering race.
"Captain ...... Temple"
The old dwarf wanted to say something, but looking at the female dwarf with a resolute expression, he could only shake his head and turn away.
After that, the female priestess bowed to the players and said:
"Welcome, noble elves!"
At the same time, the surrounding dwarven warriors also put away their weapons.
Seeing this scene, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the players, and some people even couldn't help cheering, but they were quickly stopped by other players coughing lightly twice, and whispered:
"Pay attention to the image, pay attention to the image ......"
Then...... Accompanied by the dwarves, they finally got their way into the city!
……
"So...... Did you really put them in? There was no conflict at all? ”
In a dark secret room, several short figures discussed in a low voice, and the first to speak was a person with a deep voice, who had been called a priest by others before.
"That's right...... Agreed, and after the elves had taken off their main equipment, she let them in, leaving only a few soldiers to watch their movements. And...... There was no conflict between the two sides. ”
Another hoarse voice said.
“……”
There was a moment of silence.
Suddenly, a deep voice let out a sneer:
"Hehe, you didn't get angry when you were so provoked, and you willingly laid down your arms and entered the city? Is this a believer in an evil god? ”
After finishing speaking, an old voice stammered a little:
"This ...... Priest-sama...... I...... I'm absolutely not mistaken, there is really something wrong with these elves, they were really brutally killing demonic beasts before, and they didn't care about the lives of their companions, and they did mention sacrificial sacrifices to evil gods......"
"Enough! Tell me, what did those elves do in the city? ”
A deep voice interrupted him and asked about the presence of another hoarse voice.
"Lord Hui, they wander around the city as if they were playing, no one makes trouble, but they seem to be very interested in everything in the city, and ...... There were also many people who pulled the residents and asked if they needed their help, and they were very enthusiastic......"
Hoarse with a hint of respect.
After speaking, he sighed slightly:
"I have lived for more than a hundred years, and it is the first time I have seen a race so passionate, so sincere and unguarded, I can only say...... is worthy of being a noble and upright elven clan, even if he becomes a mercenary, he is so upright. ”
"They're a! You haven't seen them in battle! They ......"
The old voice said angrily.
"Enough!"
A deep voice interrupted them.
"What we see may also be their disguise, continuing to spy on them...... We'll talk about it tomorrow! ”
……
The next day.
Deep in the back room.
"Did they do anything again? Like what...... Preaching in private, painting sacrificial circles and the like......"
A deep voice asked.
The hoarse voice carried a hint of eccentricity:
"It didn't ...... They still roam the city, and their shadows can be seen almost everywhere...... However, the places they were most interested in were the blacksmith shops and bars in the city, as well as the mines in the outer city......"
"Although some elves seem to have had enough of shopping and choose to leave. But most of them are still in the city, and it seems that many of them have made friends with the residents......"
"Made friends?"
The deep voice was a little stunned.
"That's right...... They are so enthusiastic that when they see residents in need, they will come forward to help, and they don't even ask for anything in return, and they even take the initiative to help the residents kill the demonic beasts outside the city that harass the crops......"
"And over there at the blacksmith shop, there are a lot of elves gathered, as if they are doing something...... What is 'academic exchange'? Attracted a large number of blacksmiths ......"
"In addition, there are a large number of elves gathered in the market, and they seem to be very interested in some goods, especially wine and some forgings, right...... They were also interested in the steam guns and exchanged their equipment for quite a few. ”
"Steam guns? Is it the clunky batch of obsolete alchemy weapons? ”
The deep voice was a little surprising.
"Yes, they like it very much, and the baby is amazing...... Moreover, they traded very generously, except for one elf who once bargained, all the other elves were a fixed price. ”
"However, they don't seem to have any common currency, so they can only barter with people......
"There was an elf who also took out a bag of wheat flour from the human world, which was of very good quality, and traded a magic stone."
"Also...... I sent someone to talk to these elves, and found that they were very lacking in common sense, like a group of rookies who had just slipped out of a closed family and ventured. ”
“……”
“……”
“……”
The three figures fell silent.
"Could it be...... Didn't they have a conflict with the residents? ”
A deep voice asked again.
"No ......"
The hoarse voice replied, but he hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"But...... Yesterday an elf stole something from the inhabitants, a precious piece of magical equipment. ”
"Stealing? Elves steal too? ”
The deep voice was very surprised.
"That's right, but he was discovered by the city guards, but then he was twisted by the other elves and took someone to apologize...... Although he did not succeed in recovering the stolen goods, the spirit who stole them paid for his life. ”
"Wait...... You're saying they executed their fellow stealers? That...... That's an elf! ”
The deep voice was filled with disbelief.
"Yes...... Executed, without any mud or water, and then burned to ashes. ”
"Shhh......h However, it seems that there is a real difference. Wait another day! Keep watching! Other than that...... Try to create some friction between them and the betrayer, give it a try. ”
……
Day 3.
"How's it going today? Was the provocation successful? ”
A deep voice asked.
"No ......"
The hoarse voice carried a hint of eccentricity:
"These elves ...... The temper is so good, the tolerance is very high, and I have failed to send people to provoke me several times. But ......"
"But what?"
"But...... Today, there were more elves stealing things, but in the end, they were all arrested and taken to the city square to be executed by their people......"
“……”
"After that, there seemed to be a commotion among the elves, and they seemed to have quarreled, and then no one stole any more."
“……”
"Another ......"
"What else?"
"There are hundreds of elves in the city today......"
“……”
“……”
"How...... This...... Where did so many elves come from?! ”
The deep voice gasped.
"However, the elves who came this time are different from the previous ones......
"What's the difference?"
"This group of elves, although they also call themselves mercenaries, many of them are not wearing equipment, but they are carrying packages one after another, and some even push carts...... It was full of flour and sweet potatoes...... Then they started buying and selling...... It feels like a caravan. ”
“……”
"Also...... Don't know why...... When they started trading today, they all learned to bargain...... Shrewd as a merchant in the human world. ”
“……”
"In addition, there is also a group of mercenaries who call themselves 'Nature's Hearts', and there is a vice president who calls himself 'Demacia', who has attracted the residents and wants to cooperate to form a chamber of commerce......
"Chamber of Commerce organization?"
"That's right...... What is the name of the 'Amway' Chamber of Commerce, and what is it going to develop...... Offline ...... Anyway, I didn't understand, but it attracted a lot of dwarven civilians, and they all spent money to invest in it......"
“……”
“……”
"Is the transaction still going on? What did they buy in the city? ”
"Magic stones, some magic materials from underground, and some alchemy forging products from our dwarves...... In addition, it seems that their higher-ups have been discussing with the temple and planning to establish long-term business dealings. ”
“……”
"Anyway...... Although these elves are strange, their personalities are even more weird, and they seem to have some minor problems, they really have no malice, and they don't look like believers in some evil gods, but like a human chamber of commerce......"
“……”
After listening to the report, the deep voice was speechless.
