Chapter 651: She Won't Make It
The sun sets and night falls.
The night gradually flooded the sky, and the bustling Gray Harbor ushered in the night.
The city is lit up at night by flickering lights that light up the city at night, the magic street lamps in the streets, and the lights in the houses of the houses, whether they are the elves who have settled in Grey Harbor, or the players of the Nature's Heart Guild and its affiliated guilds.
Sophia sat in the Amway Tavern in the heart of nature, looking out the window at the scene with a slight distraction.
Her expression was much more relaxed than during the day, and she seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
Until a knock on the door slowly brought her thoughts back......
"Please come in."
The girl said softly.
The door was slowly pushed open, and Demacia, with a sumptuous dinner, walked in.
And after seeing who came in, the expression on Sophia's face instantly turned cold.
"Oops...... Don't drive me away yet, don't drive me away yet, I'm just a food delivery person, I'll get out of the ...... after sending it off."
Looking at the girl's disgusted gaze, Demacia said helplessly.
Sophia snorted coldly, a hint of disgust flashing in her sight.
"Mr. Demacia, the moment I saw you, I lost my appetite, and I advise you to stay at home, after all, pets are not allowed to run around in the tavern."
She said coldly.
Demacia: ......
"Anyway, this hotel is also an asset in my name...... Can't you do it without damaging me......"
He muttered wistfully.
Then, he put the plate in his hand on the table.
Sophia gave him a cold look, but she didn't drive him away after all.
It seemed that sensing the girl's good mood, Demacia's courage also increased.
He looked in the direction Sophia was facing, and said with a smile:
"Hey, hey, how's that? Miss Sophia, how are we in Grey Harbor? Isn't it bustling. β
"No matter how prosperous a city is, it will be boring to have dirty rats that are eyesore."
Sophia said lightly.
Demacia: ......
"Forget it, I shouldn't talk too much."
He sighed and turned to leave.
"But ......"
And at this moment, Sophia's voice came again.
"It is indeed a beautiful and happy city, no less than Zeroland in my opinion."
She looked out the window at the lively lights and the joyful crowd in the square.
The soft gaze has a little more warmth.
"No less than Zeloland?"
Listening to the girl's words, a hint of strangeness flashed on Demacia's expression.
He couldn't help but want to complain that Ze Luolan was not a noble residential area, but after thinking about the girl's poisonous tongue without swearing, as well as the conversation between the eldest sister and the girl during the day, he finally endured it......
"Forget it, it's not like an ignorant little girl."
Demacia muttered.
Then, he waved his hand:
"I'm leaving, remember to gather tomorrow, and ...... Put away the statue of the goddess, you will use it sooner or later. β
After saying that, Demacia didn't wait for Sophia to reply, and left the room while shaking his head.
"Still young......"
His voice, as the door closed, grew farther and farther away.
Demacia left the room, and Sophia's gaze gradually withdrew from the window.
"Goddess Idol ......"
She muttered and looked at the wooden table in front of her.
On the table stood a beautiful and holy statue of the goddess about thirty or forty centimeters high.
According to the daytime elves, this is the idol of Eve, the goddess of life.
Looking at the idol, Sophia's mind once again sounded the words of the goddess of life, Zero Moonlight:
"Miss Sophia, this is the idol of the Chosen One who summons the Elves, take it with you, and ask the goddess for help when you need it."
Ask the goddess of life for help......
Remembering the legends about the goddess of life, Sophia hesitated for a moment, but put away the idol and put it in the storage ring she carried with her.
Then, she touched her rumbling belly, and finally couldn't help but go to the table with the plates, elegantly wipe her hands with wet wipes, and then enjoyed......
β¦β¦
The night passed in a blink of an eye.
Early the next morning, Sophia, who had packed up, arrived at the harbor of Grey Harbor early.
Anchored by the harbor is a wooden brig about thirty or forty meters long, with white sails embroidered with golden irises and a pattern with the logo of the Amway Chamber of Commerce.
This is a schooner that players have built using technology on the Blue Star.
Although it is a modification of the technology of the sea ship on the Blue Star, it is very suitable for sailing in the deep and windy Vermur River, and at the same time, the magic array of light body art carved on the bottom of the boat also allows the sailboat to reduce the draft when approaching the shore, so that it can easily dock without the risk of running aground.
For this reason, it is often used by players as a merchant ship and even to transport livestock.
At this moment, some elves were driving tall horses to the ship.
Each of the horses was stronger than the finest horses Sophia had seen in her castle, and their bodies were covered with tight scales.
"Dragonscale Horse ......"
The half-elf girl looked surprised.
She recognized that these horses should have drunk the blood of the dragon, a rather precious mutated beast.
And in the records she had seen in the books, this monster horse was extremely fast, and it was a very suitable mount for the road.
Sophia glanced at the sailboat and the steed for a few moments, then withdrew her gaze.
If she was not mistaken, it was probably the boat that escorted her to the upper reaches of the Vermur River to find Duke Rosen.
And those dragon scale horses may also be the mounts provided by the elves.
At this thought, Sophia's gaze turned to the shore, and there were already many half-elf girls in the harbor, either strange or familiar.
It was a tall elf, there were about twenty people, they were men and women, fully armed, and the equipment on their bodies was very gorgeous, and each of them had the power of silver, so that Sophia couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Although the magic power of the Saiges Continent is constantly improving, and there are more and more transcendents breaking through the ranks, this strength can barely be regarded as a strong one.
The elves stood in two rows, their bodies erect.
The first few people are acquaintances of the half-elf girl who already knows her name.
Li Mu, Demacia, Amaranth, Dream Han, Moon Jasmine and others are impressively included.
They were talking to each other around the Elven Goddess Zero Moonlight and the Holy Maiden of Life Alice Wind......
Seeing Zero and Alice, Sophia's gaze lit up slightly.
She came to the other party, pinched the corner of her clothes and saluted:
"Good morning, Lord Zero, Your Highness Alice."
"Good morning, Miss Sophia."
Saint Alice also performed a fairy etiquette, gently returning the salute.
Zero of the Divine Favor also turned his head and smiled faintly at the girl:
"Good morning, Miss Sophia, how was your rest last night?"
"It's nice, the elven food is delicious, and the wooden bed with incense is also good for sleep."
The girl replied respectfully.
Of course, some dark circles at the corners of her eyes still betrayed her state.
It's just that although she obviously didn't sleep well, the girl was in excellent spirits and full of energy.
Zero didn't debunk the girl's words, she nodded, and introduced the surrounding elves to Sophia:
"Miss Sophia, they are members of the Iris Knights of the Heart of Nature, each of them has the strength of the pinnacle of the silver rank, and they will escort you to find Duke Lawson."
Knights of the Elves?
Sophia was slightly stunned.
She took a closer look at the elves, and then found the exact same golden iris logo on their chests.
Then, Sophia's expression was solemn, she pinched the corners of her clothes again, and saluted the elves:
"Sophia von Wells, I've met all the Elven Knights."
Looking at the polite half-elf girl, the players returned the salute one after another, and at the same time, many people looked at Demacia in the team with strange eyes.
And where Sophia doesn't know, the ridicule has already begun......
In the Knights of Nature's Knights chat channelβ
Natsume: "Didn't you say a poisonous tongue?" I look pretty polite! β
Jasmine under the Moon: "What did Demacia do to off the NPCs again?" β
Amaran: "Ahahaha...... You don't know, this guy just ate garlic fruit, and he gave someone a strong kiss, and if he wasn't hunted down, he was considered to have rough skin and thick meat, ahahaha......"
Players: ......
Natsume: "You're really a talent!" β
Demacia: "Don't talk nonsense! I'm doing artificial respiration! β
Amaran: "You dare to say that you don't have a crooked mind?" At that time, he was faster than Miss Ben. β
Demacia: "......"
Players: "......"
"Worthy of your ......"
"I really deserve it."
"Hahahaha, Delma, your misery will always be my source of happiness, ahahaha......"
For a while, the chat channel was full of joy.
The players had a great time chatting in the chat channel, but on the surface, they looked serious, like well-disciplined soldiers.
I've been playing for so long, and how to fart in the chat channel while doing tasks in the game is already a must-have skill for every veteran player.
Anyway...... Lock the facial expressions in the system and it would be fine.
Although it will be inconvenient, it is still very suitable for preventing laughter or other unexpected situations when doing tasks.
In a word...... It's still convenient to fool NPCs.
This is also the classic method that the old fritters have explored in the bitterness of losing their good feelings again and again.
And all this also caused Sophia, who didn't know the truth, to see the solemn expressions of the players in her eyes, but nodded secretly in her heart, and her evaluation of the Elven Knights increased a few points......
After introducing the escorts, Zero looked at the sailboat on the shore again:
"This is the Nature, the fastest sailing ship in Grey Harbor, and it will carry you and your escorts to the upper reaches of the Elven Forest, and you will arrive at Rivertown, a human port town upstream, in about half a day, and then take a half-day ride on the Dragonscale Horse to reach Morningstar City, where Duke Rosen's army is located."
Listening to Zero's words, Sophia's eyes lit up:
"Lord Zero, have you found out where Duke Rosen is?"
"Hey, it's our Amway Chamber of Commerce's intelligence network that has investigated, and our downlines are all over the western part of the empire."
Demacia interjected triumphantly.
However, the half-elf girl ignored his words.
She didn't even look at him, as if she thought he was an air man, which made Demacia, who originally wanted to show off a few words, can't help but look at him.
Zero glanced at Demacia and said to Sophia:
"At the moment, it is said that the Imperial army is gathering mercenaries there."
Sophia's eyes lit up, and she said with a grateful expression:
"Thank you so much, Master Zero, I won't forget your help."
After speaking, the light in her hand flashed, and a brand-new scroll appeared:
"This is the oath contract I borrowed from pen and paper last night, and I have sworn with my soul that when I return to the clan and take control of the territory, I will definitely fulfill my previous promise!"
The girl's expression was solemn, and she said as she handed a scroll to Zero.
Zero took it, but didn't seem to care about what was on the scroll.
She didn't even look at it, so she put it away, nodded slightly at Sophia, and said meaningfully:
"Miss Sophia, I wish you all the best, and when you are in trouble, please remember to ask the goddess's idol for help."
Sophia was slightly stunned, and then nodded solemnly:
"I see."
After bidding farewell to the two elven leaders, the half-elven girl boarded the ship, accompanied by the Iris Knights.
The ship hoisted its sails, left the harbor, and slowly sailed into the distance......
Seeing the sailboat gradually disappear from view, Alice, the saint of life, couldn't help but ask:
"Master Zero, do you think she will succeed?"
Eve, who was wearing a waistcoat, shook her head slightly:
"No, it won't."
"Why are you so sure?"
Alice asked, confused.
"Because she's too idealistic."
Eve said slowly.
"Idealized? Isn't it because of her elven blood? β
Alice was a little curious.
Moaning slightly, Eve continued:
"For the human aristocracy...... Elven bloodlines aren't a problem, and might even be a plus......"
"However, even if Duke Lawson can accept a nobleman with elven blood, he will not accept an idealized nobleman......"
"Why?"
Alice asked curiously.
"Because of the position of the nobility."
Eve sighed.
Listening to her words, Alice couldn't help but say:
"You...... Seems to know a lot about the Holy Mania Empire......"
"It's just that there are more things to 'see'......"
Eve shook her head.
"See more?"
Alice tilted her head, a little confused.
Eve didn't explain further.
"Let's prepare to send a mission to the Chosen One, it won't be long before the elven mercenaries will be on the field, and if we're lucky, maybe in a few years, we'll be able to celebrate the harvest festival in Maple Leaf City."
She said to Alice.
With that, she turned around and left the docks.
Only the Holy Alice was left, thoughtful.
