This was a dark stone house. A few short figures hidden in the darkness were discussing in low voices:
"A group of elves who believe in an evil god? Are you sure? "
"It shouldn't be wrong. Anyway... You'll know once you see them. Those elves are very abnormal. They can only be explained as believers of an evil god."
"This is a good target to shift the blame onto... I wanted to wait a little longer, but I didn't expect this opportunity! If we can use them to create chaos, our plan will be much smoother... When do you think they'll reach us? "
"They're killing magical beasts in the Dark Forest. With their speed... I'm afraid they'll kill all the giant scorpions in two days."
"Hiss... Two days. Do you think these elves who believe in an evil god are very strong?"
"At least... They're stronger than our people."
"Haha, it's good that they're strong. As long as we use them to create chaos and kill that one, we'll win. I'm afraid... they won't do as we wish. "
"Lord High Priest, you worry too much. I've seen that these believers of an evil god are very vicious and cruel. They're also paranoid and crazy. As long as we instigate them a little, they'll definitely be enraged..."
"We'll do as you say. We'll act according to the situation! Anyway... We only have one goal. We must succeed this time... "
Just as the black figures were discussing in low voices, suddenly, another figure stumbled in:
"Lord High Priest! Lord High Priest! More than three hundred fully armed elves have suddenly appeared outside the city! They... they're heading in our direction! "
"How can they be so fast? Three hundred? Didn't you say there were only a hundred or so? "
"Cough cough... maybe... maybe I didn't see clearly..."
"Sigh, forget it, forget it. One hundred or three hundred doesn't make a difference. As long as we can take back Black Rock City this time, it doesn't matter if we sacrifice a little more. After all, those who die are traitors to our Lord! That's it, you'll probably be summoned soon. Why don't you take the initiative to go over... Leave. "
"Yes, Lord High Priest!"
After speaking, these figures slowly disappeared.
...
Black Rock City, in a solemn black temple.
A female dwarf wearing a black priest's robe was kneeling in front of a statue.
It was a majestic statue of a female goddess, with a tall figure that was completely different from the dwarves.
The statue was covered in a black hood. It held a magnificent pearl in one hand and a huge sickle in the other. It was majestic and lifelike …
While the female dwarf was praying, a sudden rush of footsteps could be heard.
"Temple Master! Temple Elder! Bad news! "
The female Temple Master's movements paused for a moment.
She stood up gently and looked at the person who came.
"Sir Ba Lin, what happened?"
"A group of fully armed elven mercenaries have arrived. They are very strong. I didn't manage to stop them and they have already entered the city. Please help us!"
"Elf?"
The Temple Master was slightly taken aback.
…
Within the Dark Dwarves' city.
After accepting the quest, more than three hundred players excitedly rushed to the Dwarf City.
They moved quickly and aggressively, giving a fright to the Dwarves who were guarding the city gate.
The Dwarves were stunned and didn't stop the players from entering the city. Only when the players entered the city did they react. They frantically ordered their soldiers to surround the players …
The players were dumbfounded at the sight of a large group of nervous dwarven warriors crowding around them.
"Didn't they say they were neutral NPCs? Why do they look like they're going to fight? "
"Could it be … that they were frightened by our formation?"
"Then why did they wait until we entered the city gate before surrounding us?"
"Demon-on-Demon? According to the information, many of the intelligent creatures underground are ruthless … "
After speaking, they looked at each other and instinctively tightened their grip on their weapons.
Seeing the actions of the players, the Dwarves became more nervous.
It was normal. The players who had just fought with the Magical Beasts had a murderous aura. Some of them were covered in blood, and they didn't look easy to deal with …
In short, they didn't look easy to deal with.
Seeing that many players were alarmed and the atmosphere was getting tense, Fried Tomato quickly changed his language to Elven and said loudly to the players,
"No! This must be part of the mission. Don't be rash! This is a neutral NPC, and it's related to the neutral NPC Reputation Rating! Don't be rash and ruin things! "
"According to the Western fantasy stories, the Dwarves are very hot-tempered. Moreover … we have more than 300 people, and we're a big target and fully armed. They'll definitely be wary."
"Everyone, bear with it! As long as we negotiate with them, it'll be fine. This Reputation Rating is done collectively, and it's a good opportunity to increase our individual Reputation Rating! "
"In a while, we'll do whatever they ask us to do. Everyone, be thick-skinned. Anyway, as long as we increase our Reputation Rating, everything will be easy!"
"If anyone messes up and affects everyone's Reputation Rating, the First Legion will bear grudges!"
After hearing his words, the players were stunned for a moment before releasing their hands one after another.
Since the improvement of the Favorability System, the Favorability of the NPCs had become more and more important. The individual Reputation Rating of the players was closely related to the speed of their advancement.
Since it wasn't easy for them to encounter a mission that could possibly increase their overall reputation, the players naturally wouldn't miss out on it.
Although many players were unhappy with the last sentence of Fried Tomato, they also understood that what he said was very reasonable.
Because … the improved Favorability was really not easy to increase.
The reason was simple.
This d * mn game, how could there be a 'first impression' similar to reality?!
In "Elven Nation," the first impression of the NPCs was really important. If the players had a good first impression of an NPC, then it would be twice the result with half the effort. If the first impression was bad, then it would be terrible … twice the effort for half the result.
Demacia was an example. That guy was still scrubbing the toilet bowl in Fei Lengcui. It was said that after scrubbing for so long and hugging the legs of the NPCs every day, he barely managed to increase his overall Reputation Rating to one point.
Moreover … many NPCs still had negative Reputation Ratings.
This time, most of the players who came to the Dwarf City first were combat-type players.
They weren't like lifestyle players who always stayed with NPCs, so their Reputation Value was generally low. The occasional contact was all for the sake of missions, so the NPCs generally didn't have a high Favorability toward them.
So … this was the first time they met the Dwarves, and it was not easy to trigger a mission that affected their overall Reputation Rating. Naturally, it was very rare.
While the players and the Dwarven warriors were confronting each other, a group of armored Dwarven soldiers escorted two Dwarves who were clearly the leaders of the Dwarven army.
There were two dwarves, one male and one female.
The male Dwarf looked very old and was bald. He respectfully slowed down half a step behind the female Dwarf.
The female Dwarf was wearing a black priest robe …
Unlike the tall and burly male Dwarves, the female Dwarves were petite and petite. Many players were surprised when they saw her.
Seeing the Dwarf Warriors around her, they thought … the female Dwarf was also a burly carrot.
However, it was a pity that the skin of the Dark Dwarves was dark, which didn't conform to the aesthetic standards of the Chinese.
At the same time, they were also curious in their hearts.
This female Dwarf who looked like a priest was the Grim Reaper mentioned in the information, or was she a believer of the God of Darkness and Shadows?
The female Dwarf was surprised to see the gathering of players.
Without waiting for her to speak, the old Dwarf took a step forward first and said in an unfriendly tone,
"Elves? You … where are you from? Why did you break into our city? "
The players looked left and right, and finally, Fried Tomato walked out.
He subconsciously wanted to draw a tree symbol on his chest, but he quickly reacted and scratched his head with his outstretched hand.
He smiled and said with a kind expression, "That's right.
"We're an Elf mercenary group on the surface. We came underground for adventure. Because we saw your magnificent city, we were curious and wanted to visit. It would be better if we could make some deals or make friends! "
After listening to his words, the female Dwarf's expression softened a little.
She looked at the players' team and sighed,
"I didn't expect the Elves to have a mercenary group, and you can gather so many people!"
The old male Dwarf shook his head and said firmly, "I know your intentions.
But … I'm sorry, the Dwarf City doesn't welcome outsiders. If you want to visit and communicate, you can send a representative, but other people can't enter the city. Unless … you can remove all your equipment and weapons. Then, we'll allow you to stay in the city. "
After saying that, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became serious.
The female dwarf also frowned slightly.
In the underground world, for mercenaries and adventurers, equipment and strength were what they relied on. Asking people to remove their equipment was no different from a provocation.
Equipment was their life. How could they remove it casually?
The old Dwarf's words seemed to be protecting the safety of the city, but in fact, it was too reckless. If it were other irascible Underground races, they might have a conflict with the Dwarves …
Fortunately, these people were Elves!
The female Dwarf looked helplessly at the old Dwarf and sighed. She said to the players, "Please forgive us.
"Please forgive us. Grandpa Ba Lin is an elder of our tribe. He only said that for the safety of our tribe. I know that the Elves are noble, but the underground world isn't as peaceful as the surface world. A certain level of vigilance is necessary. Removing your equipment is just a joke. If you want to … "
She was stunned before she finished her words.
The old Dwarf who spoke for the first time was also stunned.
Even the other dwarven warriors were stunned.
Because they realized that the Elves in front of them …
They started to remove their equipment without hesitation …
