"Let's go say hi."

Ling Ze said, even if those people really had bad intentions, he felt that if those people had no problem with their brains, it would be impossible to fight more with less, especially since their equipment was very good at a glance.

"Okay."

Everyone naturally has no objections, they can't hide from people, after all, this is a public area, and they will definitely see each other later, so it's better to go out and say hello generously.

Everyone went out of the castle and approached the four people who were still watching the "Spirit Tree", and they did not particularly suppress the sound of footsteps.

But the four of them, when they had come to a place less than ten meters away, did not react at all.

They were talking with great interest, not at all guarded.

"Don't do that kind of thing, it might be seen as hostile."

"But I just really want to try it, and I haven't confirmed that only dark elves can teleport with the Spirit Tree!"

"You can try if you want, but we won't chase you if you disappear."

"And if the guards get angry, we'll leave you and run away."

The quartet was a combination of three men and one woman, and from the content of their conversation, it could be heard that they were thinking about whether the elven "spirit tree" humans could use it.

"Probably not a closed beta player."

From their words, Kirito came to this conclusion, because the "closed beta players" obviously would not have such thoughts.

"Hey! Hello! ”

After walking two meters behind the foursome, the crowd did not continue to approach, but called them directly.

Eventually, the four men reacted, and they were visibly startled, but although they quickly turned around, none of them took up arms.

The four of them all looked at the "Wind Forest Volcano" team that suddenly appeared with blank expressions, obviously not reacting.

The first of the boys to speak was the only female player armed with a large scimitar and a small shield.

"Ahh Sorry didn't notice you guys, scared. ”

The girl hurriedly said to Asuna, who was talking.

"Don't say that, I should apologize for talking to you all of a sudden, sorry, I scared you."

After Asuna also apologized with a smile, the vigilant look that appeared on the faces of the four people immediately disappeared without a trace, and I have to say that sometimes the "beauty trick" works.

If the "Wind Forest Volcano" team only had a group of men, it would be difficult for the quartet to take off their guard so quickly.

"True color was taken aback, we never thought we'd meet other players in this kind of place, so it's not a separate map, it's a public map?"

After letting down her guard, the girl patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, they seemed to be indeed novices, and they didn't know anything about "Galei City" at all.

"Yes, it's an open area."

Asuna replied with a smile, she was very decent, and now she was very different from the one who wore a hood and closed herself off.

"Hello, we are a guild called Q Slag Library, and we are currently on the Dark Elf activity mission."

The cutlass stretched out a hand and shook it with Asuna, and the two began to report their names in order.

In addition to the female scimitar, the quartet also had a short, two-handed swordsman in a cuirass, a tall and thin sword and spearman, and finally a strange man with a short beard on his chin and a friendly smile on his face with a thick tower shield and a slender short spear.

The female scimitar who feels reliable is called "Razli", the two-handed sword that feels a little frivolous is called "Timuo", the sword and spear that looks quite capable is called "Hayston", and the strong beard tower shield is called "Gindo".

Kirito became more and more sure that these four people must be novices, as he had never heard of these four people's names at all, and it was the first time he had heard of the strange guild name "Q Zhaiku".

If the place where they met these people was in the main block, Kirito wouldn't have any special ideas.

However, "Galei City" is now, but it is the "front line" of the strategy, if you want to get here, you must first defeat a large number of tricky poisonous insect monsters gushing out of the dry river valley outside, although their "Wind Forest Volcano" team seems to be very easy to come, but it is just an illusion.

Unless these four people, level, equipment, and technology, are stronger than their "Wind Forest Volcano", Kirito can't understand it.

Among the four people, two of them were light metal armor and two were heavy metal armor, all of them had the deep luster unique to high-end equipment, but except for the shields of Lazzli and Gindo, their equipment did not suffer much loss, as if they hadn't fought much along the way.

"I take the liberty of asking, how did you get here?"

This kind of strange thing, Ling Ze had naturally already discovered it, so he asked it directly.

"The miscellaneous monsters on the road are quite tricky, but I think you guys seem to be very easy, is there any shortcut?"

Ling Ze asked very bluntly, and he almost didn't say it directly, "I don't think your strength is so easy to come here."

However, the foursome are obviously very straightforward and nervous types, otherwise they wouldn't have touched the back of their butts, and they were still sluggish and didn't react.

"No, those monsters are very strong, so the attacks are basically the guards in charge, and we are almost only on the defensive."

"Tower Shield Envoy" Yintang opened his mouth to explain, but his statement, Ling Ze and the others were a little difficult to understand.

"Did you hire other players to act with you?"

Kirito asked, looking unbelievable.

"Of course not, how is it possible, we don't have that kind of spare money, it's the NPC of the dark elves, don't you have two of you around?"

Yintang's expression was also very unbelievable, not only for "hiring players as guards", but also for Ling Ze and their lack of "dark elf guards", is it a game that we are playing?

Everyone in the "Wind Forest Volcano" can't help but look at each other, when it comes to the NPC of the "Dark Elves", it must be Kizmer, but she can't be regarded as a guard, they only met her again after coming to "Galai City", and the monsters along the way were all fought by themselves.

And the strange thing is that this outside is not suitable for the operation of the "dark elves", how can there be "dark elves" who do not take the "spirit tree" to teleport, but escort them all the way?

Asuna's expression had become a little ugly at this time, because she began to worry, could it be that the four people in front of her also had a "Kizmer who belonged to them".

Just like they did at the time, in the "Misty Forest" on the third level, they defeated the "Forest Spirit Paladin" that they couldn't defeat, and avoided Kizmer's death, and it stands to reason that as long as they did that, there would be another Kizmer.

"Smack."

Ling Ze patted Asuna on the shoulder and gave her a look of concern, this is not very likely.

At this time, not only Asuna, but everyone in the "Wind Forest Volcano" began to confirm that they were really afraid that Kizmel and "another Kizmer" would meet in the city.

It's unimaginable what will happen at that time.

"What's the name of that guard of yours?"

Ling Ze sighed, and then asked, he felt that the current Kizmer should already have the uniqueness.

After all, they had also seen others doing the task of the "Misty Forest" before, and the side of the "Dark Elves" was no longer Kizmail, although it was not certain that each one was not, but at least there was such a possibility.

"The name of the guard?"

Gindo looked at his companions, he obviously didn't expect to be asked such a question.

"Do you know the name of the dark elf?"

Hearing Gindo's question, his three companions shook their heads together.

Razri thought for a moment and replied:

"That NPC's buoy says a Dark Elf Scout, that's the name, right?"

Razli wasn't quite sure, but their "Dark Elf Guard" did not have a name.

Asuna breathed a sigh of relief, as a knight of the guard, Kizmer should be the "Dark Elf Royal Guard", so the possibility that that the guard was another Kizmel has become quite low.

"By the way, what is the gender of that guard?"

Ling Ze already had the answer in his heart, most likely it was a man.

"It's a man, and he's quite cold."

Timo replied that it didn't seem like there was any unusual interaction between them and the "Dark Elf Guard".

"I'm curious, how did you get his guard? We don't have a single such guard on our side. ”

After making sure that the "Dark Elf Guard" was not "another Kizmer", Ling Ze continued to inquire for details.

It turns out that the "Q Slag Library" is the normal way to open the "Elf War", just as developed in the original story, the "Dark Elf" and the "Forest Elf" in their line are all gone, of course, the "Dark Elf" is also a man, not a female Kizmail.

Since the final mission of the third layer, "Retrieving the Key", an NPC called "Dark Elf Scout" has been walking with them as the fifth team member.

When they enter the Terran city, the "Dark Elf Scout" will disappear at the entrance and reappear when they enter the wild.

He will also disappear if he takes on unrelated tasks, or continues to hunt in the same location, and his extremely cold personality is very much in line with the impression given by the "dark elves", and does not respond to the small talk of everyone at all.

"It should be a new mechanic added after the open beta."

Kirito scratched his head, this really couldn't fix him.

During the closed beta period, when he was alone on the "Elven Wars" event mission, he didn't have such a guard by his side.

"It should be an auxiliary system introduced after the official operation, but if the combat power of that guard is close to that of Kizmail, it seems that it can be explained why the four of them can easily come to Garley City."

Ling Ze nodded, it should be like this.

"You should strengthen your training, the activity mission of the Elven War will end on the ninth layer, and the scout who served as the guard will of course disappear at that time, you have been giving him the responsibility of the attacker, and after that, can you continue to fight without him?"

Ling Ze gave advice to the four players, these four players are not combat types, they are concentrating on mission-oriented.

"Are you doing the elven mission on your own?"

The scimitar made Lazzli take a step forward and asked, she had dark green hair tied into a ponytail, her features were very deep, and her voice was hoarse but clear, which made people feel energetic and proactive, this was a very lively and strong woman.

"Well, we just arrived at this castle yesterday, and we just finished the main quest of the Elven War on this level."

Asuna replied.

"So powerful?! You wouldn't be a member of the Raiders group, would you?! ”

Razli's big eyes widened, they really didn't seem to know Ling Ze and their "Wind Forest Volcano" guild, although they were indeed not as showy as the "Four Great Guilds", but if they knew the news from the front line, they shouldn't be so unfamiliar with them.

"Uh... Sort of. ”

Asuna was a little embarrassed, they were all about to be fired from the "Raiders Group".

"Wow wow! It's the first time I've met someone from the Raiders Group! I didn't expect such a beautiful girl, it really scared me! Asuna is too powerful! ”

Hearing Asuna's words, stars began to appear in Razley's eyes, which made Asuna even more embarrassed.

"You don't seem to be members of the four guilds? I look at your guild logo, although it looks very familiar, but it's really not the logo of the four major guilds, right? ”

Yintang answered, he scratched his head in great distress, he had been thinking about this question since just now, but he couldn't remember which guild's sign this was.

"We are the Wind Forest Volcano Guild."

Klein stepped forward and proudly announced the name of the guild.

After a second of silence, Yintang suddenly screamed.

"I'm just going to say why do I feel so familiar?! It turned out to be you! I've read about you in Argo's Strategy Manual, and you've made a great contribution to the strategy event, and your credit is no less than that of the four guilds! ”

Gindo's expression was admired, and the other three were the same, they learned about the "Wind Forest Volcano" from the "Argo's Strategy Manual", which is the importance of propaganda.

Although their "Wind Forest Volcano" guild is low-key and has never taken credit, under the publicity of Argo's "tap water", they still have some fame among players.

"I praised it, but I just did what I could."

Klein laughed twice with a "haha", and then said very seriously, which made everyone not only cover their faces, but also Razley and the others couldn't help laughing.
