Not to mention the Dark Dwarves, even Eve, who was observing in the dark, was stunned.
But soon, he reacted …
In the first place, players were existences that would do anything in order to complete their quests and to continuously become stronger.
Since they had accepted the mission, they would definitely seize any opportunity to complete the mission!
When they triggered the mission to gain the friendship of the Dark Dwarves, they were prepared to curry favor with the Dwarves and even become their lackeys …
They must have done whatever the NPC told them to do …
After all, to them, the Dwarves that they had encountered were likely to become mission NPCs like the Elves!
Soon, the players took off their main equipment and handed it over to the First Legion and individual players for safekeeping. They only left behind some simple clothes.
Seeing their swift actions, the female Dwarf opened her mouth but didn't know what to say …
In the end, she couldn't help but sigh.
"They're indeed the honorable Elves!"
"Humph, Temple Elder, they're so straightforward. Be careful of their schemes!"
At this moment, the old Dwarf spoke again. His gaze towards the players was still filled with vigilance and his tone was filled with intense hostility.
The female Dwarf frowned and looked at the players. She was surprised to find that the players weren't angry even after hearing the old Dwarf's words.
The leader of the Elves even smiled and said,
"If you're worried about us, you can arrange for the Dwarf warriors to monitor us. We only want to make friends with the Dwarves."
After hearing the words "Fried Tomatoes", the female Dwarf's expression softened.
"Temple Elder!"
Seeing her expression, the old Dwarf wanted to speak, but she extended her hand to stop him.
"Elder Bahrain, that's enough."
Then, she gestured for the Dwarf soldiers to let go of the encirclement of the players and sighed.
"They're the true Elves. I believe in the character of the Elves and admire the former Silver Race. As a wandering race who lost their home, since they came with friendship, we, the Dark Dwarves, should welcome them warmly … "
The Dark Dwarves were a branch of the surface Dwarves. In the beginning, they were chased away as losers and escaped to the underground world. Therefore … although they had settled down in the underground world, it was normal for them to mock themselves as a wandering race.
"Temple Elder …"
The old dwarf still wanted to say something, but looking at the determined female dwarf, he could only shake his head and turn away.
Then, the female Grand Priest bowed to the gamers and said, "Thank you.
"Welcome, noble elves!"
At the same time, the surrounding dwarven warriors also put away their weapons.
Seeing this scene, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the players. Some even couldn't help but cheer, but they were quickly stopped by the other players who coughed twice and whispered a reminder.
"Pay attention to your image, pay attention to your image …"
Then … with the company of the dwarves, they finally got what they wanted and entered the city!
… …
"So … you really let them in? There was no conflict at all? "
In a dark secret room, a few short figures were discussing in low voices. The first to speak was a man with a deep voice. He was the one who had been called Lord Priest by the others.
"That's right … She agreed. After the elves took off their main equipment, she let them in, leaving only a few soldiers to monitor their movements. Furthermore … there was no conflict between the two sides. "
Another hoarse voice said.
"…"
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, the deep voice sneered.
"Haha, they weren't angry even after being provoked like this, and they were even willing to put down their weapons and enter the city? Are these the followers of the evil god? "
After he finished speaking, an old voice stammered, "Master, you're not the only one.
"This … Lord Priest … I … I definitely didn't see wrongly. These elves really have a problem. They were really cruelly killing the magical beasts and didn't care about the lives of their companions. They did mention offering sacrifices to the evil god …"
"Enough! Tell me, what did those elves do in the city? "
A deep voice interrupted his words and questioned another hoarse-voiced being.
"Lord Priest, they were wandering around the city as if they were having fun. No one caused trouble, but they seemed to be very interested in everything in the city. In addition … there were many elves who pulled the residents and asked if there was anything they could help with. They were very enthusiastic …"
There was a hint of respect in the hoarse voice.
After saying that, he sighed slightly.
"I've lived for more than a hundred years, and this is the first time I've seen such a passionate, sincere, and unguarded race. I can only say … they're indeed the noble and upright elves. Even after becoming mercenaries, they're still so open."
"Open my ass! You didn't see how they looked when they were fighting! They … "
The old voice said in exasperation.
"Enough!"
The deep voice interrupted them.
"What we saw might be their disguise. Continue to monitor them … We'll discuss it tomorrow!"
…
The next day.
In a deep secret room.
"What did they do again? For example … preaching privately, drawing sacrificial arrays, and the like … "
The deep voice asked.
There was a hint of strangeness in the hoarse voice.
"No … they're still wandering around the city. They can be seen almost everywhere … However, the places they're most interested in are the blacksmiths and bars in the city, as well as the mines in the outer city …"
"Although some elves seemed to have had enough and chose to leave, most of them stayed in the city. However, most of them are still in the city. It seems that many of them have already made friends with the residents …
"Made friends?"
The deep voice was a little stunned.
"That's right … They're really too enthusiastic. When they see residents in trouble, they'll go forward to help. They don't even ask for anything in return. They even took the initiative to help the residents kill the magical beasts outside the city that were harassing the crops …"
"There's also a lot of elves gathered at the blacksmiths. They seem to be doing something … some 'academic exchange'? It attracted a large number of blacksmiths … "
"In addition, there's also a large number of elves gathered at the market. They seem to be very interested in some goods, especially alcohol and some forging products. Oh right … they're also very interested in steam guns. They even used their equipment to exchange for a lot of them."
"Steam guns? That batch of clumsy alchemy weapons that have been eliminated? "
The deep voice was a little surprised.
"That's right. They like it very much and treasure it very much … Moreover, they're very generous when trading. Other than one elf who tried to bargain, the other elves all had a fixed price."
"However, they don't seem to have any common currency at all. They can only barter with others …"
"One elf even took out a bag of wheat flour from the human world. The quality is very good. He traded it for a magic crystal."
"Also … I specially sent people to find these elves and found that they lack common sense. They're like a group of rookies who have just slipped out of their closed families to explore."
"…"
"…"
"…"
The three figures fell into silence.
"Don't tell me … they didn't have any conflicts with the residents?"
The deep voice asked again.
"No …"
The hoarse voice answered. However, he hesitated for a moment and said again,
"However … yesterday, an elf stole something from the residents. It was a precious magical equipment."
"Steal? Elves also steal? "
The deep voice was very surprised.
"That's right. However, he was discovered by the city guards. Then, he was dragged away by other elves to apologize … Although they didn't succeed in recovering the stolen goods, the thief paid with his life."
"Wait … you're saying that they executed the thief's companion? That's … that's an elf! "
The deep voice was filled with disbelief.
"Yes … they executed him without any hesitation. Then, they burned him to ashes."
"Hiss … These elves are indeed strange … However, it seems that they're really different. Let's wait for another day! Continue to monitor them! Also … try to cause some friction between them and the betrayer. "
…
The third day.
"How was it today? Did the provocation succeed? "
The deep voice asked.
"No …"
The hoarse voice had a hint of strangeness.
"These elves … their tempers are really too good. They're very tolerant. I sent people to provoke them several times but they all failed. However … "
"However what?"
"However … there were more thieves today. However, in the end, they were all captured and brought to the city square. They were then executed by their people …"
"…"
"After that, there seemed to be a disturbance among the elves. They seemed to have quarreled for a while. After that, no one stole anything anymore."
"…"
"Also …"
"Also what?"
"Today, a few hundred elves came to the city …"
"…"
"…"
"How … this … where did so many elves come from?!"
The deep voice sucked in a breath of cold air.
"However, the elves that came this time are slightly different from the previous ones …"
"What's different?"
"This batch of elves, although they call themselves mercenaries, many of them aren't wearing any equipment. Instead, they're carrying bags. Some are even pushing carts … which are filled with flour and potatoes … Then, they're doing business … It feels like a caravan."
"…"
"Also … I don't know why … When they were doing business today, they all learned to bargain … They're as smart as the merchants in the human world."
"…"
"Also, there's a group of mercenaries who call themselves' Nature's Heart '. There's a vice president who calls himself' Demacia '. He's trying to rope in the residents and establish a merchant association …"
"A merchant association?"
"That's right … It's called 'Amway' Merchant Association. They're trying to develop something online … offline … Anyway, I don't understand. However, they've attracted a lot of dwarf civilians. They've all spent money to buy shares …"
"…"
"…"
"Are they still doing business? What did they buy in the city? "
"Magic stones, some magic materials produced underground, and some alchemy products made by us dwarves … Also, their higher-ups seem to be discussing with the temple to establish long-term business relations."
"…"
"In short … although these elves are strange and have strange personalities, and they seem to have some small problems, they don't have any ill intentions. Moreover, they don't seem to be followers of any evil gods. Instead, they seem to be a merchant association of humans …"
"…"
After listening to the report, the deep voice remained silent.
