Chapter 7: Elena
The metropolis is always gorgeous and bustling at night, with colorful neon lights, noisy streets and markets, no less than the metropolises on earth in the previous life.
Although Mrs. Baili meant to let Masano take Lin Qing around the city, it was obvious that the reality could only be that Lin Qing led the way in front, and Masano followed behind without saying a word, and those who didn't know thought he was a bodyguard.
"Why don't we go to the elf center and have a look, I remember that there is a battlefield in the elf center of Yuhong City, maybe we can see the elf battle." Lin Qing proposed.
"Yes." Masano replied.
Generally, the elf centers in big cities are very large, and there will also be battlefield sites, which is a good place for many trainers to learn their strength.
The Elf Center in Yuhong City is also quite grand, with two floors above ground and one underground.
As soon as I walked in, the main hall was the elven healing and recovery area where Miss Joy was located, and the second floor was the Alliance Bounty Hall.
Here, trainers can rely on completing the Alliance's quests to earn resources and money, which is the main source of income for the vast majority of Trainers who are not signed with the Alliance.
The basement floor is the elf battlefield, and Lin Qing didn't know, so he subconsciously took Zhengye to the second floor, and the arena hall in the game in his previous life was on the second floor of the elf center.
When he came to the second floor, Lin Qing realized that he had made a mistake.
"This is the Bounty Hall?"
"Yes."
"Why don't you remind me."
"I thought you wanted to come." Masano had no expression on his face, and seemed to be a little innocent.
Forget it, in order to come here, Lin Qing planned to visit the bounty hall first.
In the middle of the bounty hall is a large circle counter with staff in all eight directions, a number of screens above the hall, and many bulletin boards on the walls around the hall, all plastered with tasks.
If you need to take the task, you just need to remember the number of the task, and then go to the counter to find the staff to register, and you also need to find the staff to verify and receive the reward after the task is completed.
Lin Qing took a look, most of the long-term tasks are to purchase tree fruits and other materials, basically all the materials that can be used and the tree fruit alliance are collected, the price is about 80% off the market, but the alliance here is stable, long-term, safe, and more importantly, there are contribution points that can be exchanged.
The task is divided into white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, black, and gold, and the contribution can be used to upgrade or exchange for some resource items, and many rare things on the market can be exchanged for contribution.
The task of collecting ordinary tree fruits and common materials is almost always a white-level task, and everyone can take it to complete.
Lin Qing thought that the alliance had also put some thought into it in order to allow ordinary people to live as trainers.
"Why are you so black-hearted, a water gem can only be exchanged for 1w6 elf coins!"
A bright female voice sounded, although it was nothing in the already noisy bounty hall, but it still attracted the attention of some people.
It was a blonde and blue-eyed, good-looking girl, and the residents of Guandu were all faces of Orientals in the previous life, and Lin Qing was a little surprised that there was a person who suddenly looked like a mixed-race child in the previous life.
As soon as Elena spoke, she realized that something was wrong, felt the eyes around her, and subconsciously gathered the hair on her face, trying to cover it, and her voice was much softer:
"This water gem, you can sell 2w elf coins in the mall, your 1w6 is too black-hearted, at least give 1w8."
"Miss, the alliance stipulates that all materials are purchased at a 20% discount on the market price, if Miss wants to sell high, you might as well go to the mall and the trading market to have a look."
If only I could go to the mall and the trading market to sell water gems, I'm still here! Elena was a little indignant, and she gritted her teeth and sold the Water Gem.
If you don't sell it, Marilu won't be able to afford this month's special elf food, and Marilu's food must not be downgraded. Elena sold some ordinary tree fruits in bits and pieces for a hundred elven coins.
Elena didn't choose to change her contribution points, and she needed to show her ID card to change her contribution points, and she didn't dare to show her ID card at all now.
I hope that the family on the note given by Mingxin's mother-in-law can give her some help, otherwise she will have to sleep on the streets in the next month.
Seeing the girl hurriedly walk out of the hall, Lin Qing didn't care about it as a small episode, and took Masano to walk around the bounty hall, probably after familiarizing himself with the mechanism of the bounty hall, he left.
Originally, I wanted to go to the underground battlefield to see, but the housekeeper of the Baili family suddenly came and said that Mrs. Baili asked them to go back.
As soon as he returned to Baili's house, Lin Qing was surprised when he saw the girl sitting next to Mrs. Baili, wasn't this the mixed-race girl who was in the bounty hall just now?
When Mrs. Baili saw the two of them coming back, she first asked how they were having fun in the city, and then introduced the girl next to them to them.
The girl's name is Elena Holch.
Holch was once a prosperous family of elven trainers in Sinnoh, and once the champion of the Heavenly Kings in the family appeared, and fifty years ago, the last water king in the family died, and the Holch family began to gradually decline.
Even if it declines, the big family still has its own accumulated heritage and wealth.
Elena's father is the youngest son of the current head of the Holch family. Therefore, Elena was also a carefree and well-off eldest lady when she was young.
The old head of the Holch family, that is, Elena's grandfather, is very old, and has three sons, the eldest son died young, the second son is mediocre and incompetent, only the younger son is gifted and intelligent, and has shown a super talent as a trainer since he was a child, and has been carefully cultivated by the old master.
However, Elena's grandfather's partiality created evil thoughts in Elena's second uncle's heart.
Elena's parents disappeared during a field trip, and the sudden misfortune left Elena, who was only six years old at the time, at a loss.
After years of waiting, Elena gradually understood that her parents would not be coming back.
Without the protection of his parents, even though his grandfather has always been willing to take care of Elena, his grandfather is old after all and often can't reach him.
Coupled with the second uncle's deliberate suppression, Elena also saw the hot and cold state of the big family, but fortunately, there are still a few elders who are good friends with her father and are not used to the second uncle's behavior to help in secret, otherwise Elena will also "disappear" like her parents.
Elena's Marilu, hatched from the elven eggs left to her by her parents, was still Lulili at first.
Later, Elena's grandfather died, and the second uncle succeeded as the head of the family, and Elena was kicked out of the house.
After Elena was kicked out of the house, the patriarch of the family, Mingxin's mother-in-law, saw that the head of the family still had murderous intentions towards Elena, so she secretly sent Elena on a ship from Sinnoh to Kanto, and gave her an address to go to the capital.
This address is naturally Baili's house, Baili and his wife traveled with Alina's parents when they were young, and they can be regarded as a deep friendship, and the four of them have been traveling from Guandu to Hezhong.
"Hey, I can't imagine that when the United Crowd parted with Winters and Kashaya, it would be a farewell. Good boy, you will live here from now on, and this will be your home from now on. Knowing that her friend might have been killed, Mrs. Baili's eyes were a little rosy.
"But, second uncle, he'......" Elena was still a little worried.
"It's okay, this is Guandu, not Sinnoh, he can't reach for it, your aunt and I can still say a few words in the alliance."
"Uh......h Thank you...... Auntie ...... "After all, she is still a little girl, from Sinnoh to Guandu, Elena was careful all the way, and now she finally relaxed, lying in the arms of Lady Baili and sobbing.
