Act XXXVIII. Bloodstained trails
If you look at the Misty Forest from the air, the first thing that catches your eye is a thick tree that reaches straight into the clouds, its canopy covers more than a quarter of the area of the Misty Forest, like a huge castle, standing in the middle of the Misty Forest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The root area of Trasil, the Sprout of the World Tree, is a complex underground cavern where the dragon of the Mist, Arnor Lund, resides and is born by absorbing the magic of the Sprout of the World Tree. In Rainbow Verse's team dungeon, the Misty Forest, players delve into the world tree to battle the dragon of the Mist, who controls the entire forest mist.
To this day, Shiloh remembers the first time he and his guild mates entered the Misty Forest dungeon and met the fog dragon Arnold Lund under the towering buds of the World Tree, an epic battle that could be described as spectacular, and the tip of the iceberg of the game's grand world of Rainbow Verse.
Of course, the difficulty of the Fog Dragon Arnoll Lund was also prohibitive at the time.
After a little fight in the Frost Mine, players swept a few more small quests and entered the Misty Forest, where they encountered the team quest for the first time.
The ten-person team dungeon was a stage to show the strength of the major guilds at that time, and Shiloh remembered that on the third day when the entrance to the Misty Forest dungeon was discovered, the guild killed the fog dragon Arnoll Lund for the first time, and in order to maintain the progress advantage, the guild did not make the strategy method public, which was also the first time in "Rainbow Verse" that the battle was launched because of the progress of the dungeon.
Since there was no strategy from his predecessors, Shiloh and his team were also stuck on this boss for nearly a week, and his miserable battle situation was still fresh in his memory.
"To this extent, if they don't give up, are their brains made of wood?"
Shiloh couldn't help but be speechless, the current outcome was the worst, he knew that this Tree Demon Settlement could be regarded as a mob area at the entrance of the Misty Forest dungeon, and further on, it was the location of the dungeon boss.
Although as a novice-oriented team dungeon, the first few bosses of the Misty Forest are not very strong, except for the fog dragon Arnoll Lund, it is only the peak of silver, and it is a piece of cake under Verahill's sword, but although these bosses are not strong, they highlight a difficult one, and a lot of time will be wasted if you don't pay attention to it, which is also the reason why in the later stage of the game, although the production of the Misty Forest is not bad, few people brush the boss, but only brush the mobs.
"The blood stains were quickly frozen, and it seems that they left the camp at dawn, and judging by the amount of blood and footsteps, the speed of the march was not fast, and some people were seriously injured......"
Verahill crouched down, her fingers touching the blood beads on the grass tips, and so she judged.
"Assemble, we need to speed up, I believe that in less than an hour, we can catch up with them."
"Yes!"
The twelve soldiers immediately returned to their original formation, quietly and quickly, showing full professionalism.
"Let's go, Your Highness Princess."
Speaking to Princess Elifers, Verahir held the frost in her hand and headed in the direction of the bloodstains.
"You may encounter some monsters next, and they may look very, uh, twisted, Your Highness Alifils, I want you to stay with me."
Shiloh could only vaccinate Her Royal Highness the princess first to avoid her behavior of appearing on the gray path.
"Stay, stay by Mr. Shiloh's side?"
However, Princess Eliefils clearly misunderstood what Shiloh meant, and saw that her cheeks were flushed and she looked a little overwhelmed.
"Well, I mean, stay with me and don't run around."
Shiloh was naturally not stupid, and soon saw that Her Royal Highness the princess had misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly explained.
"Hmm, I see."
Hearing Shiloh's words, Princess Elyfils nodded in disbelief and followed the group.
"Hey, it's time to go."
Shiloh saw that Luluan was still where she was, so he patted her on the shoulder.
"Wow...... Scare, scare me to death, and, don't call me by feeding, my name is Luluan. Toyama, you should call me Miss Toyama. ”
Luluan came back from her trance and protested to Shiloh in dissatisfaction, then glanced at the miserable camp again.
"Are all these people dead because of me and my brother?"
Between the words, Luluan's eyes seemed to ripple with water, but unfortunately in the mist, Shiloh couldn't see her expression clearly.
“......”
Shiloh wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
In terms of consequentiaries, it was indeed the unintentional adventures of their brother and sister that led to the deaths of these fifteen people, so Shiloh could not refute her words.
But to say so would be too unkind for Shiloh to tell such a cruel truth to a girl, just as he couldn't tell Princess Erifels that countless people had died to protect her.
Shiloh was faintly touched, although he chose to help Luluan in the first place to get Charandel's assistance and the reward of the hidden mission that I don't know if there was, but now it seems that there is something different about it.
He knew that he should maximize his own interests, just like the player would in the game, and the others, they were just NPCs, even if they were humans, they were just virtual 1s and 0s, in fact, he thought so later in the game, when he stole one account after another.
Even, he regarded each player as an NPC, because if he didn't, the game would be too painful for Shiloh.
The things that once bet on emotions are gone, and Shiloh, like many other Astel players, is saddened by the virtual things. He still remembers that when he first landed in "Rainbow Verse", he fell in love with the game as if it had built a real world, and it was because of this that he pinned his feelings on the characters in the game, the motherland in the game.
So after the death of the country, he became indifferent and became powerful, like a real "player": the game is just the game, the virtual is just the virtual.
However, traveling into this world, Shiloh has changed a little.
He couldn't tell if the change was good or bad, but in the dark, Shiloh had a hunch that maybe this was the reason for his crossing.
With a lot of thoughts, Shiloh finally set his eyes on the somewhat depressed El girl in front of him.
Whether in the previous life or in this life, Shiloh's experience with girls, or girls like girls, is lackluster, and at this time, he doesn't know what kind of expression to use to appease the girl in front of him.
After racking his brains, Shiloh finally chose the method he had read about in the novel, and gently placed his palm on Luluan's head-
Boom -
At the same time, a loud chirp shook the forest, stirring up countless birds, and Shiloh hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came from, which was the back of Verahir's sword-wielding defense, and-
-- Dark green and thick thorns danced.
