Chapter 45: Sunrise
"Look there!" The priest shouted, pointing to the eastern horizon.
The shadows of the mountains in the distance were faintly lit. The sunrise is approaching, and in retrospect, I haven't tried to enjoy the beauty of the sunrise for a long time, neither in the game nor in reality.
The priest leads us into the growing light. "Look." She commanded sternly.
The eastern sky gradually took on a bright band of pale cyan. Above the bright band is an almost dark dark blue, and below the bright band is a dull dark purple, and then slowly takes on a variety of colors such as purple, crimson and orange. Then, a patch of light from the horizon roamed away, and then a red line appeared in the fluttering cloud band in the sky, and in an instant the white cloud became a pale pink band. A short time later, a blinding white light shot out from the ribbon, and in the white light, a fireball as red as a breath of fire rose from the horizon.
"Look closely!" The priest shouted to us, "Witness this boundless horror! ”
The commandos screamed and staggered into the shadows of the caves. I was the only one who stood still, looking up at the rising sun.
"Hmph~~~ alarmist." I bask in the sun and enjoy the warmth. It's really comfortable~~~ The sunrise in the game is no less than the realistic scene in my memory.
"Scorpio, take the lenses off your face!" The priest shouted angrily.
Reluctantly, I lowered my head, covered my face with my hands, and removed the black crystal lenses I was wearing on my face.
It was a night vision lens, the lenses were opaque and had night vision magic attached to them, allowing creatures without dark vision to see in the dark. This expensive magical item would have been almost the equivalent of scrap for us dark elves, but its ability to see in the dark while blocking out light was just the perfect fit for me to look cool at this time. It's a pity that the priest saw through it......
What a pervert, even creatures that live on the surface don't do stupid things like staring at the sun all the time. I was about to pass by, but I found the priest staring at me firmly......
I can't help it, I have to make a look. What's more, hearing the miserable cries of the other commandos, I was also a little curious, what would be the consequences of looking directly at the sun?
At the same time as I looked up and lowered my hand covering my face......
"Ah~~~" I screamed, covered my face with my hands, and staggered back into the cave.
At that moment, a white-hot light filled my eyes, and the hot and stinging sensation made me immediately cover my eyes and retreat into the darkness of the cave.
When I opened my eyes, there was only a white light in my eyes, and I couldn't see it!
Fortunately, the white light gradually disappeared, and after a few seconds I was able to regain normal vision. Is that the Dark Elves' bright light temporary blindness like that? It's only a few seconds, but if you get attacked at this point, it's enough to die ten times!
"We've seen enough, now we can go back home!" The priest shouted, "Let our cousins who dwell on the surface be roasted by the flames, it is a fitting punishment for their wickedness!" ”
The effect of the "wall piercing" that the instructor had previously performed was not gone, and we returned to the underground through the magic passage on the rock wall.
I left the game as the commandos returned underground and rested on the way.
It was past 10 o'clock in the morning, and the damn trial, the damn assault, had turned me day and night upside down.
Just as I was thinking about whether to fall into bed and get a good night's sleep or go out for a late breakfast first, the communicator ticked, and after it was connected, I was studying at the Xinghai Conservatory of Music in Huacheng, and my sister, who I hadn't seen for a long time, appeared on the screen.
Worst! "Hahaha~~~ You are so good, do you want to greet my brother?" I immediately preemptively asked my sister about her intentions.
My sister raised her eyebrows and shouted, "I've been bullied by you dark elves!" ”
"When did you get underground?" I asked rhetorically.
"It's not! It was the Stinky Dark Elves who came to the ground, slaughtered our High Elf village, and defeated the forest guards who drove over, and most of the team members died......" My sister was a little gloomy.
"What, you're a villager who was killed?" I asked angrily.
"No, Ah Yi and I just joined the forest guard some time ago, Ah Yi saved me, we are fine, but my pet was killed by a bad ass dark elf......"
Please, that's an animal companion, not a pet, and you can learn from others to be a ranger......
"Oh, it's easy to find another pet, you're a druid, aren't you?"
"No, I'm a forest ranger, and Ah Yi is a mage. I finally found the white wolf as a pet, and named it Casey, and I don't know if I can find it in the future...... I don't care, you have to help me get revenge! ”
"Good! I'll help you, what's that dark elf who bullied you, what's it called, and what does it look like? I assured my sister.
"I don't know the name...... Appearance...... Red-eyed, dark-skinned, taller nose than you, sharper chin, shorter than you...... He's wearing armor and helmet, that's all I know......"
Nonsense, the Dark Elves are all red-eyed and dark-skinned, with a taller nose, a pointed chin, and a shorter stature that is a racial adjustment to the player's appearance. Of course, I wouldn't tell my sister that.
"I don't know who you say that."
"That dark elf looks a little familiar, well~~~ very much like you!"
"Haha~~~" I was taken aback, and quickly burst out laughing, trying to phrase it. "Your brother, I am handsome and dashing, and the jade tree is in the wind, can anyone look like me? Eighty percent of the person has adjusted his appearance! ”
"Vomit~~~" my sister retched, "You are less disgusting!" ”
Seeming to alleviate her suspicions, I quickly changed the subject: "How many of those dark elves have defeated your forest guards?" ”
"A dozen."
"How many more people are there from your forest guards?"
“…… More than 30 ...... They are plotting to ambush us, otherwise they would not have ......"
"Alas~~~ Intrigue is also part of the strength, not to mention that you are still defeated with three times the number of people. I heard that the dark elves who will come to the ground are all elites, so it's better not to mess with them in the future. "I'm going to give my sister a vaccination first so that I don't have to happen to something like this in the future.
"Hmph~~~ If it weren't for the tight time and the lack of contact with our allies, Centaurs and Treants, these dark elves would definitely not be able to leave!"
Centaurs and Treants are the traditional allies of the High Elves in the forest, the former being natural light cavalry and archers, and the latter being oversized plants that combine the characteristics of trees and people, and are very difficult to deal with. However...... "The high elves have been defeated by the outnumbered, and they have to rely on the strength of their allies to deal with the enemy?" I said bitterly.
"Nonsense! We have a very strong army of high elves, but we just haven't dispatched them! ”
"Oh, what kind of elite are the high elves?" I inquired curiously.
"The strongest team of our High Elves is the Royal Forbidden Army, and they are equipped with the best magic weapons and armor......"
"The dark elves even have magic weapons on their bodies to sweep the streets!" I robbed my white sister and said.
My sister stared at me fiercely and said, "The Royal Forbidden Army has a dragon!" ”
