"I am ......"

Anders was about to answer, but after seeing the interested gaze of the elves around him, he put back the set of arguments he had thought of, and said honestly:

"We are the vassals of the Frontier Lords of the Holy Mania Empire, this time...... It's the privilege of being hacked...... The dragon lord summoned it to help transport the livestock, but he didn't expect to meet the mercenaries on the way back......"

"When they found out about the dragon's existence, they turned their minds to the dragon...... It's true...... We really didn't instigate it! ”

"Frontier Uncle?"

"Holy Mania Empire?"

The players looked at each other.

And Demacia, who came up, was blinded, and hurriedly said:

"I know this! I listened to the recent return ......"

"Ahem......"

Li Mu coughed lightly twice.

Demacia: ......

He choked back the word "elf" and said with a dry smile:

"Listen to the regression...... NPCs have said that it is the human empire in the north, and the border counties are the human territories closest to the Elven Forest. ”

"I see!"

"New map! This is a new map for the future! ”

"Are you finally going to come into contact with human society?!"

Listening to Demacia's words, the surrounding players were excited.

Seeing these excited elves around him, Anders was slightly stunned.

Well?

Don't they know the Empire?

The Holy Mania Empire is the most powerful human kingdom on the continent of Seggs, and it is also the center of the Eternal Church, and its prestige is known to everyone from the Southern Continent to the Far North Ice Field......

These elves ...... How could it be that you haven't heard of it?

Not to mention, the Holy Mania Empire is the number one buyer of elven slaves!

And when Anders was puzzled, Li Mu asked again:

"Border County ...... How far is it from here? ”

Anders stubbornly said:

"Follow this road, continue to the northeast, walk more than fifty kilometers, and you will reach the border of the empire, and if you want to reach the nearest city, you may have to walk another few tens of kilometers......"

And Li Mu listened to Anders's words, and turned out the small map of the system by the way.

If you follow what the other party said, then the straight-line distance between the border county and the center of the map is probably four hundred kilometers, and even the most marginal Black Dragon Castle is probably more than a hundred kilometers!

That's almost a hundred kilometers beyond the map's maximum range......

Seeing that Li Mu fell into silence, Anders was apprehensive, but he still asked cautiously:

"That...... Brother Mu? You...... Do you have any more questions? If not...... Can you let us go? We...... We're just some poor villagers. ”

Li Mu was still silent.

Anders's heart was even more scared.

He thought for a moment and said again:

"Are you worried that we'll leak what happened here when we go back? You...... Rest assured! We must keep our mouths shut, if...... If you don't believe, we can swear to the true God of faith! ”

"Earl of the Border...... How strong is it? ”

Just when Anders was worried in his heart, Li Mu asked again.

The strength of the Earl of the Border?

Anders was slightly stunned.

Then, when he saw the expectant eyes of the elves around him, he suddenly sighed in his heart......

Wait a minute......

These elves ......

It's not going to be the Earl's territory, is it?!

Anders's face turned pale in an instant.

Thinking of what the elves did to the mercenaries just now, it's really possible!

However, a small life is at stake, and after struggling in his heart, Anders still said honestly:

"Lord Earl...... Lord Count is a gold-level paladin and one of the seven Electors of the Empire, and is powerful...... In addition, Lord Earl also has an independent knight order, and there are a hundred knights with silver strength alone......"

These messages are not secret at the border.

At least...... If you are willing to inquire, it is not that you can't inquire.

So, Anders replied very sloppily.

And after he answered the question, the elf's reaction was somewhat unexpected:

"it!"

"it!!"

"Can't be messed with...... Can't afford to mess with ......."

"Golden Rank? A hundred silver? THAT'S TOO BUGGY, ISN'T IT? ”

Well?

Could it be ...... These elves are not as powerful as they think?

Anders's heart moved.

It's just that before he could think about anything, the next words of the elves made his heart tremble:

"Why don't you kill these people? It's not good to get revenge......"

Anders:......

"Don't! We promise not to say it! Promise not to speak out! ”

He was horrified.

However, Li Mu waved his hand:

"Untie them and let them go."

Players were a little hesitant.

Seeing the hesitation of the players, Li Mu hurriedly typed and explained on the team channel:

"The border county is outside the map, and since these human NPCs are from over there, maybe they can really activate the follow-up plot and even open a new map!"

"It's only a few hundred experience points to kill them, and it's useless to lock them up, and it's a waste of food, so it's better to let them go."

"As for the possibility of human retaliation...... Wouldn't that be better? Just send us experience and equipment! There really must be enemies that can't be defeated, and there are gods who are here, just summon the incarnation of the goddess! ”

After reading Li Mu's explanation, the players were stunned.

That's right......

That's the truth.

If you can beat it, they come, but if you can't beat it, you will find the goddess!

Anyway...... With a goddess as a thigh, she will never let people really take the old nest, right?

Thinking of this, the players have no objection.

After a few months of playing, Li Mu has made almost no mistakes in his inference of NPC behavior and plot, and has faintly become the recognized boss of "Elven Country", which is ...... No one is more convincing than his judgment.

And after discussing it, the players loosened the bonds of a dozen humans:

"Get out! ! ”

Anders was overjoyed, as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly fled with a dozen of his men, as if he were afraid that the elves would regret it.

After letting the humans go, the players continued to clean up the battlefield, and even began to draw a sacrificial circle to prepare for the sacrifice of some of the scrap they had picked up......

"Border Brother?"

Looking at Anders and the others who fled in a hurry from the player's point of view, Eve was thoughtful.

This time, he didn't take advantage of the player's grasp of the human to guide the story, expand the map, or release new quests......

Next, players will need to deal with the faith war with the orcs, and the map expansion on the human side can be put aside for the time being......

After all, once they come into contact with humans, it means that they will have to be involved with more true god forces, and with the player's current strength, Eve does not think that they can fight against humans who are much more powerful than the forces of orcs.

Furthermore...... The gods that humans believe in are none other than the most powerful enemies of the previous World Tree!

At present, Eve is not ready to confront them directly, nor is it possible to directly dispatch the true god incarnation and enter the sphere of influence of the human gods to fight them......

Of course, as Li Mu said, if the human race really sent an army to crusade against the black dragon and the elves again, he would not be afraid, and even welcomed it.

After all, Eve has not exposed herself yet, and if someone really comes to crusade against the black dragon and the elves, it is estimated that they are also tempted by the black dragon treasures and elves, and it does not mean that the elves and human forces are in conflict.

Unlike taking the initiative, defensive warfare, in her own territory, Eve is not afraid of anyone.

If the player can't beat it, then trick it into the range of his own god domain, and just end it in a nest......

So, Eve didn't have a problem with letting these people go.

And while the players were cleaning up the battlefield, the Black Dragon Merrell also flew back to the Black Dragon Castle.

As soon as it returned to the castle, it saw the little salty meow that had rushed from the teleportation array after being resurrected.

Of course, at this moment, the gold suit on Xiao Xianmeow's body is gone, but has become a purple epic black iron median mage suit.

And seeing the returning black dragon, Xiao Xianmeow smiled:

"Yo! Coming back so soon? ”

Merrell didn't speak, but her eyes widened, staring at her tightly, motionless, and she saw that Xiao Xianmeow's heart was furious:

"How...... What's wrong? ”

"Nothing ......"

The little black dragon muttered and turned his head, not looking very interested.

It hesitated, glanced at Xiao Xianmeow again, and asked seemingly nonchalantly:

"Your resurrection...... Are there no side effects? ”

"Of course not! We are the chosen ones chosen by the Goddess, look at it! I'm in great shape! ”

Xiao Xianmeow flashed her muscles at Myrell and smiled slightly.

Faintly, she saw that Merrell seemed to be relieved.

Then, I saw the little black dragon take out a bunch of golden legendary equipment from under him, and then threw it to the elf girl:

"Well, your equipment has been brought back for you."

Xiao Xianmeow's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took it happily:

"Wow! Thank you! I haven't raised you for so many days in vain! ”

Merrell: ......

"It's a pity, if it's bloody, you have to wash it first."

Holding the golden legendary robe that Merrell brought back, Xiao Xianmeow sighed with some regret.

Then, she looked at the black dragon again, squinted her eyes and smiled:

"Anyway...... I remember seeing you rush over in anger before I died, was it for me? ”

Merrell: ......

It turned its head away and said a little stiffly:

"Humph! How could the noble Merrell be angry over such a trivial matter? It's not like Merrell didn't know you were going to be resurrected! You're nothing more than a servant of Myrell! Merrell ...... It's just for the barbecue. ”

"Don't worry! Barbecue is definitely there! Thank you for your hard work this time! ”

Xiao Xianmeow smiled and comforted.

However, after listening to Xiao Xianmeow's words, Merrell's expression seemed to be a little depressed.

After a moment of silence, Merrell said in a muffled voice:

"Actually, it's not for the barbecue...... Merrell didn't know why, when he saw you killed, although he knew that you would be resurrected, his body rushed out unconsciously......"

Hearing this, Xiao Xianmeow was slightly stunned.
