After he saw Qin Fen and the three of them, he immediately put on a fighting state, and only after confirming the human identities of the three of them did he breathe a sigh of relief and said:

"Who are you?"

Qin Fen's pupils shrank, his gaze moved away from the wound on the elf's shoulder, and he was already eighty percent sure that this guy was the owner of the talisman.

His heart moved slightly, and he spoke:

"Dear Child of Nature, we are Gondor merchants who want to go to the Shire to buy goods. Unexpectedly, he encountered a group of orc scavengers on the road, panicked all the way, and lost his way. ”

"I see." The wounded male elf nodded. There are many races in this world, but humans are still the most abundant species with their strong fecundity and adaptability, and it is not uncommon for human traders to venture through the Misty Mountains.

Elves are naturally arrogant races, and after knowing that Qin Fen and the three of them are just ordinary "foot traders" at this moment, they don't even bother to say anything. He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction he came, and said lightly:

"It's not safe here, so you'd better get out of here as soon as possible. Heading north along the valley, you'll be lucky enough to find the village of Shire soon. ”

“……”

Qin Fen smiled and said:

"You seem to be badly injured? Come with us to the Shire, the hobbits are known for the hospitability of Middle-earth, where your injuries can be effectively treated. ”

The male elf was expressionless and said indifferently:

"My injuries don't get in the way, you can hurry up, follow the direction I pointed, and be lucky to reach the Shire before dark."

The three of them glanced at each other, and a thought flashed in their hearts at the same time: this guy is actually lying!

I urged three times in just two sentences, and there was a clear taste of eagerness in the tone, how could it not make people suspicious? And the direction he pointed in was the direction he came from!

If it is a native human, I am afraid that it will be believed, because the impression of elves is not a lying race, but such a clumsy trick is really ridiculous for adventurers.

Qin Fen's face remained unchanged, his smile was still the same, he glanced at Ai Jia'er, and after thanking the elf again, he left in the direction he pointed. When he turned around, he inadvertently dropped the green leaf amulet.

"Wait!" The male spirit suddenly spoke, "Where did you get the quack talisman?" ”

Qin Fen immediately said:

"Do you know, I found it under a big tree not long ago, and I think it must have been left behind by the owner in a hurry. So I thought about helping to keep it first, and when I found the owner, I would return the good things to the original owner. ”

The male elf was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed and said:

"That's the amulet I accidentally threw away before, and it's a blessing from the tree of life."

"I see," Qin Fen hurriedly handed over the talisman, "Then at this moment, the thing will be returned to its original owner, but it is better." ”

The male elf took the talisman and said in a deep voice:

"I don't want to be favored in vain, and if you give me back the lost amulet, I will reward you."

As he spoke, he took out three colorful shells from his arms, and the surface of the shells was covered with a faint green light, as if there was a breath of life flowing.

"This is a pass to the 'Elven Capital' Rivendell, and with them, you will have the status to enter Rivendell."

At the same time, Qin Fen also received a reminder from his watch:

"Elven prestige on! Current Fame: 0. Relationship: Stranger. ”

"Note: Once you reach a certain level of reputation, you will have the right to join that faction. You can purchase faction-specific items, and you'll also be able to take on faction quests. ”

"Note 2: You can only join one faction at a time."

Qin Fen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that a talisman he picked up casually led to camp news, although it was not a substantial reward, but it was also worth the money.

At this time, I listened to the wounded male elf continue:

"I have made a great discovery related to the evil forces in the depths of the Misty Mountains. Human, will you escort me back to Rivendell? If the escort is successful, I will thank you for your generous reward. ”

Obviously, the talisman just now had succeeded in gaining the favor of this elf, otherwise with his arrogant attitude, he would never have said such a thing.

"Ding: You triggered the side quest, Elf Ranger Tryandel's request."

"Mission: Escort the wounded Trilandall back to the elven capital of Rivendell. The reward for this quest is unknown. Acceptable? Yes/No? ”

"Reward unknown?" Qin Fen sneered in his heart, but said on his lips: "I am willing to ......"

Elven Ranger Cui Randall nodded indifferently, as if Qin Fen could escort him as a blessing from three lifetimes of cultivation. His injuries were quite serious at the moment, the wound on his shoulder was throbbing and painful, and even his brain was a little drowsy. But at this moment, a chill hit his abdomen, and then the convulsions and sharp pain pierced straight into his mind, and a dagger with gray poison on the surface had already stabbed into his abdomen!

“…… You! ”

The elven ranger's eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at Qin Fen, his eyes full of incredulity and disbelief.

At the same time, the cue tones of the juggernaut also sounded one after another:

"Warning! Target friendliness is decreasing at a rapid rate...... Current attitude: hatred! ”

"Warning: Side quest 'Escort', failed!"

"You sneak up on me?!" Cui Randall is worthy of being an elven ranger, and he reacted the moment he was attacked, and pulled out the elven sword at his waist with his backhand, and the long sword slashed a ripple in the air, swaying with the wind.

Even though Qin Fen immediately retreated as soon as he struck a blow, he was still cut through his clothes by the wave of qi from the long sword, leaving a finger-long wound on his chest, and after a faint coolness, there was a hot stinging pain, and red blood beads poured out along the wound.

Qin Fen didn't pay attention to this little injury, but directly sneered, and said word by word:

"I attacked you? And what do you mean by sending us to our deaths? ”

In a word, the elven ranger Cui Randall was on the offensive for a moment, and his face also showed a faint shame.

"You fled from the west in disarray, and you didn't even have time to treat your wounds, indicating that the enemy is still chasing you. Why did you let us go west?! ”

"Aren't you treating us as outcasts, let's send us to death so you have time to get out calmly? What kind of noble elf are you, me! ”

The tone is well used, and the power is no less than that of a bayonet. Qin Fen clung to the elven ranger's previous insidious and vicious behavior, and used words to confuse his mind.

Tsui Randall's face changed, and after a short period of shame, he quickly became firm.

"You don't understand, what I found is very important, it is related to the lives of thousands of beings in Middle-earth, and it must be sent to the queen! In the face of the fate of the race, the life and death of the individual do not matter...... You should be happy to die for peace. ”

There were only two words that answered him: "Hehe." ”

For adventurers and "time and space wanderers", the last thing they don't have is a sense of belonging. Take your own life for the peace of the world of the story?

All you can say is that you are still living in a dream!

Adventurers wish for chaos in the world.

As he spoke, Cui Randall's eyes became more and more determined, and he said coldly:

"Now I have a clear conscience, so ...... You can do your part for me. ”

Qin Fen shook his finger and said with a smile:

"No, no, no, it should be you who contribute yourself~~"

The elven ranger only felt that Qin Fen's smile was quite weird, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart, and he suddenly found that the pain in his abdomen had disappeared, replaced by a maddening tingling!

When he looked down, he was shocked to find that the muscle tissue near the wound had actually rotted, and even the blood that flowed out had turned black.

"It's so poisonous!" Cui Randal's face changed drastically, the elf's poison resistance attribute was quite high, even the toxin in the hands of the evil force entrenched in the depths of the misty mountain range was at most making his qi and blood decay and difficult to heal, and in the hands of this ordinary businessman in front of him, how could there be a poison ten times more vicious?
