Night Elves

To the northwest of the Ash Valley Forest region, to the southwest of the Black Coast region, close to the western sea, there is a wild and uninhabited forest.

It's on the border between Ash Valley and the Black Coast, and it's not close to the village, there's no shop behind it, and it's not on the main road, so few people come here. Of course, I don't want to come here.

In recent years, there have been rumors of ghosts and ghosts in the vicinity. When some people walk into this forest, it is like walking into a labyrinth, and they can't find their way out.

That's why it's called Labyrinth Forest.

Later, the Elune Sisters sent a Priestess of the Moon to investigate. It was confirmed that it was not a ghost or some dangerous creature, but it was just caused by some magic that had a small impact on the space here.

But because this magic is not very harmful, and it doesn't look like someone made it deliberately, it's more like an inadvertent magic residue, and the magic source is very hidden, so the Priestess of the Moon in charge of the investigation finally gave up the removal work.

Instead, issue corresponding warnings to nearby residents, and then do some warning work to remind people not to trespass, and forget it for the time being.

Maybe it was because the Priestess of the Moon felt that after a while, when the magic of the magic source was used up, the magical influence here would dissipate.

But, almost ten years later, here is still how it should be.

On the contrary, the nearby residents, because they are afraid that the children will accidentally run into the maze forest that is close at hand, so they can move as much as possible. Until now, the once idyllic elven village with a little bustle remains as an empty treehouse.

However, this village, which was supposed to slowly return to nature, came with a few uninvited guests.

These are a few mercenaries in mysterious costumes, also discreetly carrying a large wooden box.

"This is it, big brother, I found the sign of that mysterious caravan under the big stone in front of the village."

Hearing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief. Then carefully put down the large wooden box behind him.

"Ahem!"

"Hey! Be careful! It's our cash cow! ”

"I'm sorry, big brother, my hands are a little sore after I lifted it for too long."

"Alright, pay attention. It's not safe to come here, we need to find the mysterious caravan quickly, and then get this hot potato out as soon as possible. ”

"Big brother, you're too nervous, aren't you just a corpse?"

Corpse?

Unexpectedly, the big carpenter they carefully carried was actually a corpse. And according to the cash cow they described, it also refers to this corpse?

I saw that the eldest brother continued,

"Nervous? Joke! It's discreet or not! If it weren't for the fact that I've been taking you with you carefully all these years, you don't know how many times you've died! ”

"Uh...... Big brother, isn't this a bit exaggerated? ”

"Exaggerate! When I came out of Winter Spring Valley, I reminded you not to attract the attention of others! When you were in Felwood Forest, you were swaggering around with this corpse. Did you know that you might have caught the attention of the Priestess of the Moon in Felwood Forest? The de-smelling treatment I made for the wooden crate could fool the Huntress's Blade Leopard, but not the White Tiger of the Priestess of the Moon. ”

"No...... No way?! ”

"Humph! I had just finished buying dry food, and when I found her looking at you, I thought you were dead! Fortunately...... At that time, I didn't know what happened suddenly, and the priestess of the moon was temporarily haunted. I made a quick decision and immediately pulled you away, so that you have the life to live until now, and you yourself still don't know? ”

"Big brother...... I ......"

"Humph! Well, let's not talk about it, I'm angry when I think about it! Let's hurry up and get the clues of the mysterious caravan. I'm a little uneasy now, don't interject, this is my sixth sense that I have developed over the years of life and death, and although I can't say it's accurate, it has saved me many times. This time, the mysterious caravan could not be found for three days, and we immediately left the corpse behind. ”

"Leave? Drop it? Big brother, you're not kidding, this is the corpse of the heroes of the Night Camp! The reserve price of that mysterious caravan is 1 million gold coins! 1,000,000 gold coins! And it's the reserve price! Level 90 is 1 million, and level 99 is up to 10 million! Heard...... The purchase price of a level 100 legendary hero-level corpse is directly 100 million! 100 million! Wow!!! Help me! ”

"Humph! Wake up! One hundred million? Dream on, this corpse is a ranger from the six factions of heroes in Winterspring Valley, but her strength is probably the worst, she died in the Terran Alliance's invasion of Winterspring Valley not long ago, as if she died at the hands of a king of the hill. I don't know how much effort and some luck took to get it, but I guess it's around level 90 to 93. However, at that time, one person can also divide hundreds of thousands. ”

"That's good, it's worth it! Woo~ Hundreds of thousands of gold coins, how to spend it? Buying an elf wife costs ......"

"Alright, stop dreaming, look for it! If it weren't for you guys, we'd not have missed the chance for a mysterious caravan to show up on the Felwood underground black market to buy corpses. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to run to this hellish place. ”

“……”

After a long time, they finally found the hint on the stone table in an abandoned wooden house.

"Walk through ...... Labyrinth Forest?! ”

……

"Sand... Sand ......"

"Sand ......"

Standing outside this strange labyrinthine forest, several mercenaries couldn't help but feel a little numb in their scalps.

It's not that they are weak-minded, but apart from the rustling of leaves, there is not even a birdsong and a beast's roar. Years of experience have taught them that this must not be a good place.

Although the intelligence of animals is not high, time allows them to distinguish where is a safe area and what is a dangerous area, and it is extremely accurate.

"Big brother...... Are we really going to go in? ”

The mercenary who took the lead gritted his teeth and took the lead: "Don't you want money?" Walk! ”

"Big brother wait!"

"You really don't want money! Do you know ......?"

"No, big brother! Where! Where is there an adventurer! ”

"you...... Well?! The mercenary brother who just wanted to scold angrily paused, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure not far away.

When I looked up, I saw that it was indeed an adventurer.

"Adventurers?"

"Huh? Mercenary! ”

The mercenary brother's eyes narrowed, and he immediately thought about it, "Adventurer, can you do us a favor?" ”

"What?"

"We can't find a way through this forest, can you help us find out."

System Prompt: Side quest through the labyrinth forest, difficulty S, time limit 72 hours, reward unknown, accept or reject?

Accept!

"No problem at all!"

"Well, thank you so much, adventurer, what's your name?"

"Me, Light Blood."

"Oh. Brother Lightblood, look like you've been around here for a long time. ”

"That's right!"

That's right...... Stay here and wait for you......
