Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The sun rose, its golden rays illuminating everyone and the mess in the tribe.
Ye Ci did not know how long the sorrow would last. She stood in the middle of the tribe, and her heart was filled with frustration. She suddenly felt that the Doro tribe had truly been destroyed. A tribe that only had the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children left, a tribe without labor, whether they were willing or not, in the long river of history, they would have to face the choice of nature. Either they would survive, or they would be swept away by the tide and disappear in the long river of history.
Ye Ci suddenly felt very sad.
She felt that she had done something that she shouldn't have done.
Although she had saved Darufal, but, but the entire Doro tribe would decline or even disappear. In the long run, this might not be a good thing. There were rules of survival in the game. As a player, she had overly interfered with the life of an NPC. Was this really a good thing?
She didn't know, she didn't know at all.
Just as Ye Ci's mind was in a daze, she heard the rustling of clothes. Turning around, she saw Darufal in a black robe appear in front of everyone. In just one night, he seemed to have aged a lot. His wise eyes still had traces of tears that hadn't dried up. It seemed that the matter just now had made Darufal very sad.
However, as the tribe leader, as the leader of the entire tribe, he couldn't continue to let his emotions run wild. So, he had to stand up and speak to the remaining tribesmen.
And, the sorrowful cries also slowly disappeared because of Darufal's appearance. Everyone quietly looked at Darufal, the tears on their faces hadn't dried, but when they looked at Darufal, they were filled with hope.
Darufal was a high level NPC with a Divine Artifact in his hand, so even if a thousand years had passed, he was still alive. However, the other NPCs of the Doro tribe weren't like him. They had to go through life and death, just like normal people. However, the one thing that didn't change was their unwavering trust in Darufal. This was probably directly related to Darufal's image of being fair and just. Not to mention, his longevity also added a lot of points to his image.
Originally, Darufal's robe was not black, but now that he had changed into a black robe, Ye Ci could feel that he was grieving for the lives that had been lost.
"My dear friend, thank you for everything you've done for me and the tribe. But now, there are some things that have to do with our tribe. Can you leave us alone for a moment?" Darufal looked at Ye Ci and asked respectfully. Ye Ci's affinity with Dalufal and the Doro tribe was very high. Her affinity with the tribe had reached the level of 'Worship'. Because of this, Darufal didn't call Ye Ci a white elf as usual. Instead, he called her his dear friend.
Ye Ci knew that she couldn't help even if she wanted to. It was better to stay away from such a troublesome place. So, she nodded and left the tribe, heading towards the seaside.
It didn't take her too long to find Leah, who was lying on a rock and basking in the sun. The mermaid's lazy appearance made Ye Ci grit her teeth. Why didn't this guy become a dried fish? Suddenly, Ye Ci felt that she should get a cat. At this time, a cat would be very interested in this fish.
"Ayaya, look, who's here! It's a female elf who can't tell front from back! "Leah propped up her upper body and greeted Ye Ci.
Ye Ci strongly resisted the urge to rush up and beat up the fish. She snorted and agreed to Leah's request. Leah saw that her greeting didn't cause much of a reaction from Ye Ci and felt a little strange. She curled her beautiful blue fishtail and looked at Ye Ci with her chin propped up. "Hey, elf, you don't seem to be happy at all."
Ye Ci rolled her eyes at Leah. "I'm not like you, sitting here doing nothing and basking in the sun every day."
Leah laughed mischievously. "I think you're jealous of me."
Ye Ci rolled her eyes. Of course, she was envious of this dead fish.
"What happened in the Doro Tribe last night? What a big commotion. It scared me to death!" Leah looked at Ye Ci with her fishtail curled and tilted her head.
Ye Ci shook her head. She didn't want to mention last night's events again. She climbed up the rock and sat next to Leah. Looking at the vast sea in the distance, she asked, "Leah, what are you doing sitting here every day?"
"Keeping watch. If food comes, I have to quickly tell my compatriots." Leah blinked her big eyes. She saw Ye Ci's dark face. She reached out and patted her shoulder with a smile. "Don't worry, women are not food for us merfolk. Because women's meat is sour, we support men."
Ye Ci's forehead was full of black lines. She laughed dryly. "Thank you, I'm really honored."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Leah's skin was really thicker than the city walls.
A beautiful song came out of Leah's throat and echoed over the sea. Although Ye Ci didn't understand what she was singing, she could feel the sadness in her voice. This kind of sadness was very moving. Ye Ci felt moved several times. If Leah hadn't stopped to ask her for food again and again, she thought she would have been moved.
"How is it? Give me some more food. I've been singing for you for so long! " Leah was obviously very interested in Ye Ci's fragrant smoked mutton, even more than she was attracted to men. So after singing for a while, she began to shamelessly ask Ye Ci for food.
Ye Ci's face darkened as she watched Leah gobble down the meat. She no longer believed that the merfolk were graceful creatures. They were all gluttons from head to toe. They were no different from Ol 'Three and Ol' Four. "If I give you Qin, can you take me away from here?"
"Of course, didn't we agree?" Leah licked her fingers and narrowed her eyes to enjoy the taste of the smoked mutton. It was really delicious.
"What if I want to take someone else with me?"
"Someone else?" Leah looked at Ye Ci blankly. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed and she stuck out her pink tongue to lick her lips. She revealed a hunter's smile. "If you're talking about a man, I'm afraid I can't."
"I'm talking about Arauna's family." Ye Ci rolled her eyes. Sure enough, merfolk were all foodies. At this time, the first thing they thought about was eating and drinking.
"Ah? Arauna's family? They also want to leave with you? " Leah showed a surprised expression. It seemed that she didn't believe this statement. "If you want to leave secretly, absolutely not. You know, my grandmother's grandmother left here with Taku when she was young. Later, Taku died, and the chief of the Doro tribe came to make trouble for us. My grandmother's grandmother's grandmother was severely punished! So, without Darufar's permission, I absolutely can't agree to let you take Arauna's family away! "Leah shook her head like a rattle-drum, leaving no room for negotiation.
Ye Ci couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fortunately, she thought of going to Darufar and needed his permission. Otherwise, not only would she not be able to take this family away, but she would also not be able to leave in the end. The gains would not make up for the losses.
After chatting with Leah for a while, Ye Ci learned that the Doro people could go to the merfolk's territory. She couldn't help but think that she could let Arauna take her to the merfolk's territory in the future. Maybe she could find a lot of good things, but this was a matter for the future. While she was chatting with Leah, Mara found her and said that Darufar wanted to see her. Ye Ci was a little puzzled as to why Darufar wanted to see her, but she didn't ask much. She said goodbye to Leah and followed Mara back to the Doro tribe.
In less than half a day, the corpses in the Doro tribe were almost cleaned up. The big crater caused by the bomb had also been filled up. The collapsed tents and totem poles were also gradually restored with the efforts of the women, the elderly, and the children. Ye Ci followed behind Mara and looked at the people working as they walked. She felt that she had really guessed wrong. The women of the Doro tribe were definitely not on par with the women of the average race. They were simply more powerful and stronger than the men of the average race.
It seemed that Ye Ci's original worries were somewhat in vain.
Following Mara into Darufar's tent, Ye Ci saw Joram and Arauna standing in the tent, while Darufar was still wearing his black robe and sitting on a chair. When he saw Ye Ci come in, he stood up and nodded to Ye Ci as a salute. "My dearest friend, you're back."
"Yes, my most respected Darufar."
"First of all, I'm very sorry for letting you leave just now …"
"Don't take it to heart, Darufar. It's what I should do. I'm just worried. Will the Doro tribe be as peaceful and quiet as before? "Ye Ci's words were vague. She believed that Darufar could understand her meaning. After all, the dead Nober soldiers were the relatives of many people. Even if Nober had tempted them, even if they had sold their souls to the Devil, to these people, their relatives were still their relatives. No matter what they became, they were still their relatives.
But now, Darufar had killed them. Even if these people had absolute respect and obedience towards Darufar, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't feel some disgust and hostility towards Darufar in their hearts. Ye Ci was worried about this problem, which was why she asked this question.
Darufar was an NPC with high intelligence. Of course, he knew what Ye Ci was talking about. He gently nodded, his face revealing a trace of a smile: "My dear friend, don't worry. For the Doro tribe to be able to get to where it is today, it has encountered many, many problems. But every generation of chief has done their best to deal with these matters. Although I don't know if I can do as well as them, but I will definitely work hard to make the Doro tribe even more prosperous in my hands."
Since Darufar said so, Ye Ci didn't say anything more. This wasn't her problem to begin with. She just had to say one more sentence or one less sentence. "May the Gods be with you." Ye Ci bowed to him.
Darufar walked in front of Ye Ci and looked at Arauna and his family. Then, he looked at Ye Ci. "My dearest friend, I didn't feel at ease leaving this family to you. But now, I've changed my mind. Perhaps it's best for you to take them away." Darufar raised his staff and waved it at Ye Ci. A buff appeared on Ye Ci. It was Darufar's Promise. "Now, go find Leah. I believe that she will bring you back safely to your homeland."
Ye Ci nodded and expressed her gratitude. She let out a long sigh. It seemed that this quest was over. She could finally return to Majah Continent.
"By the way, my dearest friend, I have a map here. It was left behind by my brother. I've studied many books over the years and discovered that the words written on it are Elven. I think it's best to give it to you." Just as the group was about to leave, Darufar suddenly remembered something. He turned around and took out a sheepskin scroll from the bookshelf and handed it to Ye Ci.
Ye Ci took a look at it and her eyes lit up. Good heavens, isn't this Dau 'er's Fragment? She had searched high and low for it, only to find it without any effort. Now, she already had three. She only needed one more before she could go to Natasha and turn in the mission. Ye Ci vaguely felt that this quest had a lot to do with her class. She must treat it seriously.
This time, Ye Ci could finally leave with Arauna's family. She handed the zither to Leah and explained her intentions. Since Ye Ci had Darufar's permission, Leah didn't stop Ye Ci. Instead, she happily led Ye Ci away from this map.
A white light flashed and Ye Ci and Arauna's family appeared in Up Everyday's encampment. She brought the family of three to the encampment's conference room. Soon, Bai Mo and Timely Rain arrived. They already knew that Ye Ci met Arauna's family in the Doro tribe, so they were very enthusiastic about their arrival. Ye Ci handed Yolam and Mara over to Timely Rain and asked Timely Rain to take care of them. Yolam and Mara obediently left.
As for Arauna, Ye Ci didn't need to bring him around at all times. This was because the guards in the system could learn skills and do things on their own in the city. They would only fight alongside their masters when they were summoned. This gave Arauna a lot of freedom. Ye Ci told Arauna where the Shaman's Academy was in Red Lake City and where the library was. She then left him to fend for himself. Arauna was now filled with curiosity towards the world. He didn't decline Ye Ci's request. He placed all his belongings on the table and left on his own.
Ye Ci then took out the items in her bag and placed them on the table. She then said to Bai Mo, "I don't have time to appraise these items. You guys do it. These items were obtained from low level players at lvl80. You guys might not be able to equip them right now, but it's good to leave them in the guild storage to stimulate everyone."
Bai Mo nodded. It was best to leave this to Timely Rain. He turned to Ye Ci and asked, "Are you still going to the Northern Continent?"
Ye Ci nodded, "Yes. Even if it's not for the Mithril, I still have an Epic-tier quest waiting for me there." She then noticed Bai Mo's strange expression and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something you haven't told me? "
"According to our reports, someone has discovered the Mithril ore vein in the Northern Continent."
"It's already been discovered!" Ye Ci's heart skipped a beat as she stood up.
"No, what I meant was that someone has already started to complete the prerequisite quest." Bai Mo looked at Ye Ci quietly. He didn't seem surprised at all. It was as if he was just stating the facts. On the other hand, Ye Ci was clearly unhappy.
"Someone has already started to complete the prerequisite quest?" Ye Ci scratched her head in frustration, "I have the Mithril ore veins in the Eastern and Southern Continents. Genesis has the Mithril ore vein in the Western Continent, but I don't have control over the Northern Continent's Mithril ore vein …" She slammed the table, "How did this happen?!"
"Two ore veins are enough for us. Besides, even if we get the Mithril ore vein in the Northern Continent, we won't be able to defend it in that hostile continent. We won't be able to defend it even against a large guild like Genesis. We don't have the right time, right place, and right people. So, let's not touch the Mithril ore vein in the Northern Continent. " Bai Mo smiled at Ye Ci's anxious expression. He knew what Ye Ci was worried about. It wasn't about the ownership of the ore vein, but …
"It's not about whether we'll be able to defend the ore vein!" Ye Ci sighed, "If the Mithril ore vein is taken away by someone else, it won't be long before word of it gets out. With our current strength, we won't be able to defend any of the ore veins. Once word gets out, we'll never be able to live in peace …"
"Little Ci, calm down. Calm down." Bai Mo patted Ye Ci's hand and comforted her, "I know what you're trying to say, but don't be too pessimistic. Things might not be as bad as they seem."
"Not at all? How is that possible? "Ye Ci could no longer control her emotions. The pressure that had been building up in her heart for a long time was finally unleashed, "Have you ever thought about it? We're still lacking in manpower, and we're lacking in skills. Even if I have Mara and Yolanthe, what can they do? They won't be able to build a fortified fortress around the ore vein in a single night, and they won't be able to help me grow my guild in a single night! Under these circumstances, as long as a third party knows about the mithril ore vein, the Lesser Demon Sanctuary will definitely be lost. Even if I don't open the quest lock, there's no guarantee that the other guilds won't surround the place so tightly that I won't be able to open the quest lock in the future!! "
Bai Mo stood up and hugged Ye Ci. He caressed her hair, just like how he used to hug her when she was a child, "I know, I know. Little Ci, I know that you're under a lot of pressure. Don't think about it anymore. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. You still have us. You have to believe that Up Everyday, we're growing, and we'll grow very quickly. You just have to do what you want to do, and leave the rest to us. "
Bai Mo's voice seemed to have the power to calm Ye Ci's heart. She leaned against Bai Mo's chest, and felt a wave of fatigue wash over her. She let out a long sigh, "Cousin, I'm so tired. Golden Era is coming, but we're still nothing."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Bai Mo patted Ye Ci's back and comforted her.
"Old Mo! Are we going to start a dungeon tonight, or are we going to continue leveling? " Let Go Of That Girl's voice barged into the meeting room. He glanced at the two of them, and apologized profusely before leaving the room, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please continue."
After leaving the meeting room, Let Go Of That Girl suddenly felt that something was wrong. Ye Ci and Bai Mo didn't seem to be a couple …
While he was scratching his head in confusion, Ye Ci walked out. She wasn't embarrassed at all. She glanced at Let Go Of That Girl, and asked, "Where's Dream?"
"Oh, she, she went down to cook." For some reason, Let Go Of That Girl seemed to be nervous, and he stuttered.
Ye Ci pouted, "You let your wife cook while you stayed up here to play games. You're such a good man." She turned around and left.
Let Go Of That Girl didn't know how to reply. He scratched his head and laughed dryly. After a while, he looked up at the sky. What was going on?
Bai Mo walked out as well. He looked at Let Go Of That Girl and said calmly, "Those who haven't reached level 60, continue leveling. Those who have reached level 60, organize yourselves and find a suitable dungeon."
Let Go Of That Girl looked at Bai Mo as if nothing had happened. He called out to him, "Old Mo, Old Mo! What's your relationship with Gongzi? "
"She's my cousin." Bai Mo looked at Let Go Of That Girl. His gaze was calm, and there was no hint of ambiguity in it.
"Cousin! Cousin can kiss, hug, and hug! "Let Go Of That Girl lowered his voice and blurted out," You're not lying to us, are you? "
"I didn't kiss her." Bai Mo rolled his eyes at Let Go Of That Girl, "Her mother is my mother's biological sister. She and I are blood-related cousins!"
"Don't tell me you adopted her …" Let Go Of That Girl still couldn't believe it. He had a feeling that Bai Mo and Ye Ci weren't just cousins.
"You've watched too many Korean dramas." Bai Mo looked at Let Go Of That Girl in amusement, "We've always been like this."
"Oh, oh, oh." Let Go Of That Girl nodded. He then narrowed his eyes and started gossiping, "Will your wives and husbands get jealous if you two are so close?"
This time, even Bai Mo rolled his eyes. What the hell is going on, "You're thinking too much."
You're really thinking too much ….
Ye Ci walked on the streets of Red Lake City. The sun was already setting in the west, and the warm afterglow shone on her body. The population of Red Lake City had been increasing. These people had bound their identities to Red Lake City and became citizens of Red Lake City. They had contributed a lot to the development of the city by completing quests. With the accumulation of quests from these people, Red Lake City would level up very soon.
Standing at the entrance of Red Lake City, the guards greeted Ye Ci. With Ye Ci's current reputation in Red Lake City, this was the best she could do. If one day, Ye Ci's reputation in Red Lake City reached Revered, these guards would treat Ye Ci differently.
Currently, Ye Ci had two options. One was to go to the Northern Continent, and the other was to return to the Novice Village.
According to Ye Ci's original plan, she wanted to go to the Northern Continent as soon as she left the Doro Tribe. However, she had no choice but to put this matter aside for now. The prerequisite quest for the Mithril ore vein in the Northern Continent was already being completed. Other than the person involved and Up Everyday, no one else knew about it. Ye Ci naturally wouldn't ask Green Hill's Moon to investigate this matter. After all, this matter couldn't be widely publicized. Ye Ci's heart was in a mess. She didn't know what to do next.
She stood at the entrance of the city for a long time. The players passing by all looked at her with envious eyes.
In the end, Ye Ci sighed. Forget it. Let's not think too much about it. She wasn't that kind of person in the past. She didn't know if it was because she was overthinking things or something else, but she would always consider too many things before doing anything. This made her lose her original clear-cut personality. Ye Ci shook her head. Bai Mo was right. There was no point in thinking too much about things that hadn't happened yet. She might as well do her best to complete the task at hand.
Ye Ci summoned The Fourth Prince and gave him a few pieces of meat to eat. She rode on him and headed towards the Novice Village.
Compared to the faraway Northern Continent, the Novice Village was much closer. Ye Ci looked at the arrow in her inventory. Without hesitation, she thought of Natasha. Natasha was an NPC that sold arrows. She would definitely have a deep understanding of the Tainted arrow.
Natasha took the Tainted arrow from Ye Ci. Strangely, the arrow that had burned Ye Ci's fingers did not do anything strange in Natasha's hands. It was as if there was some kind of magic in her hands.
"Where did you get this arrow from?" Natasha stared at the arrow in silence. During this time, her eyes flashed with surprise, doubt, and pain. Finally, she calmed down. She raised her head and looked at Ye Ci quietly. Her purple eyes were emotionless. They were cold and rational.
Ye Ci did not dare to hide anything from Natasha. She immediately told Natasha everything that had happened to her recently. Natasha nodded and sighed. She lowered her head and looked at the arrow in her hand. She seemed to be talking to Ye Ci, but also to herself, "I didn't expect you to become the medium that Saga used to create the illusion. This must be a great insult to you."
For some reason, when Natasha spoke, Ye Ci saw the arrow tremble slightly. It seemed to agree with Natasha's words. Then, the arrow returned to Natasha's hand as usual. It was as if the trembling did not exist. If Ye Ci did not believe that there was nothing wrong with her memory, she would have thought that she had seen wrongly.
"Do you know where this arrow came from?" Natasha suddenly asked Ye Ci.
Ye Ci shook her head. Isn't that obvious? If she knew, she would not have come all the way here to find you.
"This is the arrow of the Elven King Dau 'er." Natasha seemed to have expected that Ye Ci would not know where the arrow came from. She did not make things difficult for Ye Ci.
"What?" Ye Ci was slightly shocked. However, she quickly calmed down. The Elven King Dau 'er had also participated in the battle against the Demon King Naga. As the Demon King Naga's underling, Saga had also participated in the battle. Therefore, it was not surprising that the arrow belonged to Dau' er. "So, Saga was killed by our great Elven King Dau 'er?"
Natasha shook her head, "Dau 'er's arrow did pierce Saga's heart. However, it did not kill him. Saga went into hiding. He took this arrow with him and went into hiding together. " She touched the arrow that was stained with dried black blood and said, "You don't know how precious this arrow is."
Ye Ci nodded. She really did not know.
"The Elven King Dau 'er only had five arrows in his quiver." Natasha said softly, "It's different from how you carry a lot of arrows."
Ye Ci nodded. The Elven King Dau 'er sounded like a powerful NPC. How could he use the same arrows as a normal Hunter?
"These five arrows are made from the Molten Core from the depths of the earth's core, a ten-thousand-year-old ice crystal, a poisonous stone that has been nurtured in the poisonous pool for a thousand years, the Heart of Holy Light from the Titan Shrine, and the Heart of Darkness from the Naga's lair. It took the dwarf archer Cui Lai decades of painstaking effort to forge them. Not only can they deal great damage, they can also automatically return to the quiver after leaving it. They are the Elven King Dau 'er's favorite item. During the battle with Saga, the Elven King, Dau 'er, had used the Holy Light Arrow. However, Saga's dark aura was so strong that he had wrapped the Holy Light Arrow in his dark aura and stolen it. In the end, it had disappeared into the Chaos. The Elven King Dau 'er had always wanted to find this arrow, but his wish never came true until his death … "
Ye Ci was not interested in the story. She was more interested in the five arrows. Heavens. Just by listening to Natasha's description, she knew that these arrows were definitely good stuff. If she could collect all of them, she wondered what would happen.
"Then, is this the Arrow of Holy Light that was stolen by Saga?" Ye Ci looked at the arrow that had lost all of its luster and was covered in black blood. She could not believe that it had such powerful attributes.
"Yes." Natasha nodded and handed the arrow to Ye Ci, "If it's possible, I hope that you can go to the Northern Continent and find the Holy Spring in the Holy Realm's snow mountain. Cleanse this arrow of its filth and let it regain its luster."
"Alright, I'll complete your mission." Ye Ci bowed to Natasha. This gave her a reason to go to the Northern Continent. Since all of the quests required her to go to the Northern Continent, she had no choice but to make the trip.
"Have you collected the fragments?" Natasha glanced at Ye Ci and suddenly asked.
"Not yet. There's only one fragment left." Ye Ci answered honestly.
Natasha nodded and looked at the sky in the distance. "Go. I hope that the Elven King Dau will always be with you, from now until the end of time."
Ye Ci bowed and left Natasha's room. She stood at the three-way junction for quite some time. Until now, there were still many new players coming and going. It was as if she had once been a new player. Ye Ci took in a deep breath and summoned The Fourth Prince. She rode on the back of the Fourth Prince and left, attracting the attention of many new players.
"Wow! Look at that Huntress! She's so cool!"
"Yeah! Look at her! She's riding a dinosaur! That dinosaur is so big! It's so cool!"
"I'll work hard too! I want to be like that Huntress!"
"Don't you know who she is?"
"Who is she?"
"She's the Solo King of the Eastern Continent, Gongzi You! She's the best Huntress in the Eastern Continent! "
"Wow wow wow! I want to learn from her! I want to become a better Huntress than her! "
… …
Ye Ci did not know how many newbies she had inspired, as her journey was still going on, and it would last forever.
Ye Ci repaired her equipment when she returned to Red Lake City. She then returned to the guild to look for some supplies. She even filled her quiver to the brim. It was impossible for her to encounter Genesis and Fleeting Time in the Northern Continent. In the eyes of the Northern Continent players, Ye Ci was an invader. They would not show her any mercy. The only time she could replenish her supplies was when she used the Brooch of Deceit. Even so, she could not afford to let her guard down.
Ye Ci had to be extra careful when it came to the Northern Continent.
"Why? Must we go to the Northern Continent this time? "Bai Mo smiled at Ye Ci.
"Yes," Ye Ci nodded at Bai Mo, "All the quests are pointing to the Northern Continent. I have to go."
"Don't feel too much pressure."
Ye Ci smiled. She knew what Bai Mo was trying to say, "You're the guild leader, Bai Mo. Why would I feel any pressure?"
With that, Ye Ci turned around and walked out of the guild encampment.
The sun was setting in the west, and the shadow of her back was very, very long.
