Finding the Winter Elves is undoubtedly good news, but the Winter Elves are not very friendly at the moment. Xia Chiyu then replied: "This stone was obtained from the mysterious shelter, the demon clan did not perish, but fell asleep, and recently the demon clan has begun to wake up, and we must reunite now to fight them." ”

"Mystery Vault?" The male elf frowned, "Space-Time Lord 'Larufal'?" The young man did come to our village at the time and said that the demons didn't really die, but ......"

Elves have eternal life, and they can survive unless they are killed, but correspondingly their reproductive ability is also weak, which is why the population has always been so small.

Moreover, the ability to reproduce is also the reason why they cannot become the staple food of the demons. However, for the demons, although they are not the staple food, they are still a very good "appetizer", so the threat of the demons to them is also huge.

"But," the male elf said, his voice cold, "what surprises me even more is the brazenness of you humans. After the last alliance broke down and the elves were driven out of their homes by you humans, are you still embarrassed to find us again and let us form an alliance with humans again? ”

As he spoke, the male elf opened his arms and angrily scolded, "Look at us! Look! ”

This sudden angry rebuke startled Xia Chiyu and the others, and the male elf continued: "We originally lived in a forest that was like spring all year round, but now we have to survive in this cold environment, and even our appearance has become completely different from ordinary elves!" And it's all your human fault! ”

"Hey, that's not right for you to say that!" Liu Yiyu said dissatisfiedly, "After the demon clan exterminated the human race, isn't the next target your elves?" You don't help us. Aren't you going to be unlucky? ”

"He's just an NPC,......" Nadya explained in a low voice, but the male elf actually replied, "For the demons, you humans are their staple food, and they won't exterminate you, otherwise they won't survive themselves." The demons will keep you in captivity like pigs to ensure your reproduction. Then they will slaughter you when they need to. ”

"It's so cruel, this person ......," Liu Yiyu said with a frown.

"But they're right." Xia Chiyu was helpless, "After all, it is human beings who have reduced their families to this point, and it is not surprising that they will hate human beings." ”

"So what should we do now?" Lacey asked distressedly, "I really can't convince them." ”

"I don't know, this mission is just to make us an alliance, but I don't know how to form an alliance." Xia Chiyu frowned and said, "Anyway, let's see what this product has to say first, there should be clues in the follow-up development." ”

Thereupon. The eyes were on the male elf again, and he continued to chatter.

"If the demons awaken again, then we would love to see you humans die out under the devouring of the demons!" Speaking of this, the male elf's face turned cold again, "For the sake of the secret treasure you brought with us, we will not harm you, and we will give you enough supplies to get you out of this place." ”

"What? Didn't help us. Do you want us to return the Amber Heart? Xia Chiyu frowned, and said angrily: "How can there be such a good thing." Do you think that we came all the way to give away a secret treasure for nothing? No need to talk. ”

"This thing was originally a secret treasure of our clan, and it was presented as a sign of respect for our clan when the alliance was formed. But you humans have broken the agreement by treachery, and it makes sense to return our secret treasures. It's just that you human beings, relying on the strength of force, have seized the treasures of our clan and refuse to return them. The male elf snorted coldly.

And the other party's words made Xia Chiyu speechless, he thought about it, so he had to shrug his shoulders and say, "Okay." ”

This time. The people on Xia Chiyu's side were stunned, and Reis immediately asked with a wry smile: "That, did I hear it wrong, or did you just say 'okay'?" ”

"yes." Xia Chiyu spread his hands helplessly, and Nadya grabbed Xia Chiyu's collar with one hand. He said coldly: "You bastard, don't you want to give up this mission?" I'm on the rise. ”

"But I can't talk about him, he's just an NPC." Xia Chiyu said with a dry smile, "So, it's better to promise him first and see what happens next." There's no other way to trigger the plot. ”

"That'...... All right. Liu Yiyu hesitated and said, "But, what if the mission fails?" ”

"That's easy, we're not the only ones doing it, anyway. If we fail, we won't do it, let's rest. Xia Chiyu said as a matter of course, and then he found Nadya's sight, and hurriedly replied: "Aren't there still Gu Qinyan them?" When the time comes, we can form a team with them to complete the mission. ”

Hearing this, Nadya's face softened slightly, so Xia Chiyu turned to the male elf and said, "Okay, I promise you, this thing will be returned to your clan." ”

Seeing this, the male elf seemed a little surprised: "Oh? Are you willing to pay it back? ”

"Yes, you have a point, it was really the human side that was not good at the time. Besides, after the agreement breaks, this thing should indeed be returned to you. Xia Chiyu sighed and said, the male elf snorted coldly: "Even if you still know some etiquette, we will also give you some supplies to let you leave as promised."

As he spoke, the male elf stretched out his hand to Xia Chiyu, and Xia Chiyu clicked on the inventory, called up the item Amber Heart, and then put it in the hand of the male elf. As a result, the red hostile border on these elves instantly turned into a yellow neutral border, and the opponent will no longer be against them, but they can still attack each other.

Of course, after attacking these neutral creeps, they will immediately turn hostile.

And when the state changes back to neutral, they can also see a few names above the heads of these elves, this male elf is the elder of the Winter Elf clan, named Sylph, and is also the head of the village.

"Let's go, let's go back to the village first. Soon 'Colonde' is coming. You'd better stay in our village for a few days. Then we'll send someone to see you off. Hilf said with a cold face.

"What is Colonde?" Nadya asked curiously, and a female elf named Asuna with a longbow and a blue cloak smiled kindly, "It's a tornado raging in this area, and it will pass by around here these days." ”

The female elf was tall, almost as tall as Xia Chiyu, with a slender figure, and even more diminutive against the huge bow and arrow behind her. And the longbow behind her. It was made of white ice crystals, and strangely enough, although she was carrying this huge longbow, she did not have a quiver on her body. With such a large bow, the bow and arrows used should be very long.

"During the Arond rampant, the temperature will drop even further, and the area will continue to be in a state of eternal night, with only night and no day. You may also be hit by a snowstorm when you go out, which is too dangerous. Asuna explained.

"Look. That's the next step of the plot, anyway, let's go to the village first and then talk about it, maybe what event will be triggered. Xia Chiyu replied in a low voice. Nadya laughed happily at this time: "It's so funny, it feels like I'm playing an RPG." I don't know what kind of tasks will follow. ”

And indeed, as Nadya said, when they come to the elves' village, just like those old RPG games before, every NPC in the village can talk, and after the dialogue, the plot and follow-up missions will be triggered.

This was a little surprising to Xia Chiyu. Because AO is sandbox-oriented, quests can be released by the player themselves. Therefore, the system has always had a relatively small number of tasks, but this time it is different.

This alliance mission has an unusually large mission system, but considering the number of players in AO, this mission system can indeed only be experienced by a small number of players, otherwise the principle of "truth first" of AO will be lost.

Just like the secret treasure of a clan, in fact, the items they receive in different guilds are also different. For example, what Xia Chiyu got here was Amber Heart. However, the other team elves have treasures such as the Heart of the Forest, and the different treasures also direct them to different areas to ensure that the player's mission locations do not conflict.

As for this elven village, it is probably protected by some kind of magic, although they have come to the village. The location of the village is not indicated on the map. And in the midst of such a big snowstorm, they didn't know how they came to this place, anyway, they followed these elves for a while, and they came to this forest.

However, despite the fact that the village is covered in snow and ice, it is still full of elf style.

Because of the year-round ice and snow climate, the plants here are evergreen trees such as pines and cypresses, and the elves live in the treehouses, a tree can provide four or five treehouses, the tree houses at the base are the widest, and depending on the shape of the tree, four or five treehouses can be built in the foliage system, and the whole village is still lit up at this time.

When you come to this village, you also have a different feeling of "ten thousand lights", especially in such a cold weather, the light from these tree houses makes people feel a kind of warm illusion.

"It's dinner time, can you come and eat with us?" Asuna said, turning to Sylph, "Brother, let them go to our house for dinner, right?" ”

Sylph snorted coldly and said, "It's okay, you have to keep an eye on these humans." Although they have returned the Amber Heart, there is still a despicable and betrayal in the hearts of these human beings. ”

Asuna turned her head and smiled: "You don't have to care about him, brother, he is just oppressed like that by the responsibility of protecting the clan, in fact, he is a very enthusiastic person." Tell me what the outside world is like, right? ”

"The outside world...... Liu Yiyu raised his eyebrows and said, in fact, at this time, Xia Chiyu wanted to tell her that no matter what she said, even if she talked nonsense about the situation in the outside world, this elf would have the same reaction, after all, this is just an NPC, even if there is an AI, there will be no artificial intelligence.

However, in order to avoid affecting other people's gaming experience, Xia Chiyu decided to shut up.

On the way to the village chief's house, something else attracted Xia Chiyu's attention, he saw a lot of planted berry bushes and some edible plants in the village, so he wondered: "Aren't these plants unable to grow in winter?" ”

He had just asked casually, but Sylph actually replied to him: "We elves can unleash a kind of magic that instantly makes plants grow to their full strength, and it is by relying on this magic that we can survive in this environment." ”

"Of course, we also need to go out hunting every day and rely on some animal meat to sustain the consumption of the village." Asuna explained with a smile that the female elf was always smiling like this, and the smile was very healing. It's like......

As he spoke, Xia Chiyu turned to Liu Yiyu, just like Liu Yiyu's smile.

Liu Yiyu found Xia Chiyu's sight, immediately raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile, "Huh?" What's wrong? ”

"I think you're a good fit to be an elf." Xia Chiyu grinned, then coughed dryly, and said seriously: "In short, I found that many NPCs in this village have dialogues, and we will act separately in the village after eating, and talking to these NPCs should trigger the task, and completing the task should increase our prestige in this place." ”

"When the prestige is high, we can get more help from these elves?" Lacey asked curiously.

"It's supposed to be this routine." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders, "When the prestige is full, these elves should agree to help us hand over the Amber Heart to the elven clan, and agree to re-ally with the humans." ”

"Really?" Lacey sighed distressedly, "It feels so troublesome, I should waste a lot of time here, right?" I don't know how the task process is going on on Qin Yan and Ah Xing's side, I hope it will be smoother than ours. ”

At this time, Asuna led them to a huge tree house under the roots of one of the thickest pines and cypresses, and she opened the door and smiled at them, "Come, welcome to my house, the hot food will be served immediately." ”

As soon as you open the door, you are greeted by a warm feeling, and although the furniture and decorations are made of fur and vines, it seems too simple, but it is also comfortable against the warm fire and the smell of broth wafting out.

Considering that the eternal night would last for several days, Xia Chiyu still decided to recover his body temperature and mental value that was about to enter the hallucination stage first. (To be continued.) )
