Ye Ci's question caused Spotless Autumn's smile to widen, "It's hard to say. Why don't you come with me and you'll find out?"
"Wouldn't it be too late if I only find out when the time comes?" Ye Ci snorted, "You have two choices. You can either tell me now, or you can go by yourself. We'll just pretend that we never met." Ye Ci turned around to leave.
Spotless Autumn panicked when he saw Ye Ci's reaction, "Alright, alright. Fine, fine. I'm scared of you, alright? I've accepted a hidden quest to retrieve a quest item from this mountain. I've been wandering around the mountain for two days, and I finally found it. But I don't think I'll be able to retrieve it on my own. I just remembered that you're here, so I decided to try my luck and see if I can find you. I didn't expect the heavens to be on my side. So, please help me. "
"Even Spotless Autumn can't do it …" Ye Ci narrowed her eyes in disbelief, "Then there's nothing I can do."
"Don't be like that. We're still allies, aren't we? Why don't you lend a helping hand?" It seemed that the item was very important to Spotless Autumn. He was no longer as calm as he was during the battle with the Sapphire Shrine. Instead, he started panicking. "What great god? Isn't that just empty words? Besides, no matter how good my positioning is, I'm still a mage. The weakness of mages is that they're slow. Isn't speed your specialty? Why don't you lend a helping hand? Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-storied pagoda, don't you think? "
Ye Ci was getting dizzy from Spotless Autumn's words. Not only was this man a chatterbox, he was also good at beating around the bush. Ye Ci was annoyed by his constant beating around the bush, "Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you. Hurry up and lead the way."
"So you agree?"
Ye Ci rolled her eyes and snorted, "That's right, that's right. Hurry up, I still have to return to the Eastern Continent."
"Alright, this way." Spotless Autumn did not say anything else after achieving his goal. He led Ye Ci deeper into the forest. Ye Ci huffed and puffed as she followed behind Spotless Autumn. She slowed down to match Spotless Autumn's speed.
The silver-white moonlight shone through the forest, casting a mesmerizing brilliance. When it was reflected, the two of them were coated with a layer of holy silver light. Ye Ci followed closely behind Spotless Autumn as they ventured deeper into the Holy Snow Mountain. Neither of them spoke a word. Ye Ci could only hear the crunching of their footsteps on the snow. The Fourth Prince was also following closely behind Ye Ci, and he would occasionally grumble at the silver-white scenery around him.
Spotless Autumn was a strange man.
Ye Ci had initially thought that Fleeting Time was a chatterbox, but after walking with him for a long time, he did not utter a single word. It seemed that Fleeting Time was a man of few words. He might be a chatterbox when he was asking for help, but he would be a man of few words when his goal was achieved.
Ye Ci was left alone with Spotless Autumn's silence. She took out a quill and a map as she followed behind Spotless Autumn. She took out a quill and a map to mark out the paths she saw so that she could use them in the future.
Just like that, the two of them walked in silence. It was as if they did not know each other at all. After some time, Spotless Autumn finally stopped and turned to Ye Ci, "We're here."
Ye Ci stopped in her tracks and looked around her. The place was shrouded in white mist, and it was night time. Even with the illumination of the snow, she could not see anything clearly. Ye Ci cast an Eagle Eye spell to scan her surroundings. She wanted to know where Spotless Autumn was going.
She soon discovered many Elves roaming around in the mist. Their skin was dark, and their eyes were as red as rubies. Ye Ci's heart skipped a beat. She dispelled the Eagle Eye spell and asked Spotless Autumn, "Are you looking for the Drows?"
Spotless Autumn shook his head, "No, to be exact. I'm looking for the Drows' treasure."
Ye Ci nodded and cast another Eagle Eye spell to observe the Drows. She clicked her tongue in admiration, "They say that the Drows and the Blood Elves are the superior races among the Elves. They are much more talented than us Elves, especially the Drows. Look at them. Most of the Drows here are Mages."
"Yup. Their levels aren't high. The lowest is level 90, while the highest is level 120. But I'm only level 60. It's not easy for me to kill them one by one. But they're all moving in groups. I won't be able to hold them off if I attack one of them."
"They're so high leveled that I'm sure we'll die even if I join in." Ye Ci continued her observation, "Or are you happy that I'm the one who made you the scapegoat?" Spotless Autumn sneered at Ye Ci as she continued to observe the situation.
He was indeed a narrow-minded person. Spotless Autumn glanced at Gongzi You, who was casting Eagle Eye, and let out a sigh, "Can't you go into Stealth? I can see that you have a lot of Drows with you. All you have to do is stall them while I go in and get the treasure. "
Ye Ci dispelled the Eagle Eye spell and rolled her eyes at Spotless Autumn, "Bro, are you trying to kill me? Why don't you just say so? How am I supposed to aggro so many Drows for you? " There were at least eighty to ninety Mages in the Horde. Even if she could get in and out of the Horde, she would still be dead if she was discovered. If a hundred and eighty Drows were to attack Ye Ci at the same time, she would be a cheat if she did not die.
"Didn't I see that you have a helper with you? He seems to be quite tanky. He can tank five Drows of Level 120 Drows without a problem. Why don't you lend him to me? " Spotless Autumn gave Ye Ci a look that said, "I've seen it all, so don't hide it from me."
He really did see Arlaoch, but he would be blind if he did not see Arlaoch when he was fighting Drows of Level 120 Drows. Ye Ci rolled her eyes and shrugged, "I don't think so. That guy can only be summoned once a day. I've already used up my summon for today."
Spotless Autumn did not have any guards, and he did not know if Gongzi You was telling the truth. He sighed and sat down on a tree, "I'll have to think of a way to get my hands on it."
"Alright, don't think too much about it. Let's just clear out the Drows first." Ye Ci did not have as many thoughts as Spotless Autumn. She had always been a person of action. She would rather think of a way to deal with the Drows than sit there and think about it.
However, Spotless Autumn gave her a bitter look, "Can we not fight?"
"What's wrong? You don't have enough supplies? " This was the only reason Ye Ci could think of for Spotless Autumn to reject the challenge, but she did not think that there would be another reason for him to reject the challenge.
"No …" Spotless Autumn let out a long sigh, "Fighting Drows is so tiring …"
Ye Ci's face darkened. She narrowed her eyes and felt that she was an idiot. Why did I agree to help this guy with this bullsh * t quest? He's probably trying to get something out of me without risking anything. He's probably trying to get me killed, and he'll be able to take advantage of me from the sidelines.
Ye Ci cursed in a low voice. She didn't have anything in common with this guy. It was better to separate as soon as possible. Thus, she turned around without hesitation and said without looking back, "Alright, goodbye. No, farewell! "
"Alright, alright, I got it. Let's fight monsters then! Don't go, Gongzi You, I got it! " Spotless Autumn jumped up when he saw that Ye Ci was about to leave. He had no choice but to put in a good word for her.
Ye Ci was annoyed by him. She just had to stop walking. Otherwise, this guy would keep chattering in her ear. It was really annoying. She turned to look at the man and said, "If you screw up again, I don't care if you live or die. Anyway, this has nothing to do with me. I'm here purely to be a prostitute. This has never happened before in my history!"
"That's right, that's right. Hurry up and let your pet tank the monsters." Spotless Autumn nodded his head in agreement. Not only is this woman petty, she's also narrow-minded. What's worse is her temper. I wonder if she'll be able to get married in the future … Spotless Autumn grumbled in his mind.
"Give me ten thousand gold coins first." Ye Ci did not hold back and extended her palm towards Spotless Autumn.
"Why?!" Spotless Autumn shrieked as he stared at Ye Ci in horror. He was a Tri-Elemental Mage. Even though he was powerful, money was what he lacked the most. Spotless Autumn was a man who had always scrimped and saved on everything he bought. He would even pick up a copper coin if it dropped on the ground. Yet, he was being asked for ten thousand gold coins by a stranger he had just met. It was simply too shocking.
"Hey, don't tell me you think I'm helping you for free!" Ye Ci stared at Spotless Autumn as if he was a monster, "Don't tell me you think that my arrows, stamina potions, health potions, mana potions, and even my pet's food came from nowhere!"
"That's still not worth ten thousand gold coins!" Spotless Autumn was a man who would haggle over the smallest details. This was directly related to his poor profession. He was on the verge of exploding in anger at Ye Ci's exorbitant demand, "I may not be a Hunter, but I'm a frequent shopper. These things of yours are worth less than three thousand gold coins! How dare you ask me for ten thousand gold coins! You're too greedy! "
"Don't you know that we're in the Northern Continent? Do you know what inflation is? Something that costs three thousand gold coins in the Southeastern Continent can't even be bought with ten thousand gold coins in the Northern Continent! I'm only asking you for ten thousand gold coins because we're old friends in a foreign land, and you're still trying to bargain with me? Are you a man? "Ye Ci was not going to back down from Spotless Autumn's outburst.
Spotless Autumn clutched his wallet tightly. Ten thousand gold coins! Ten thousand gold coins! That was almost half of his entire fortune! He would rather die than give it all to Ye Ci!
"Hey, can't you ask for less?"
"Nope! Other than the cost of the materials and supplies, there's also the cost of my labor! If it weren't for you, I would've returned to the Eastern Continent by now. You won't have to reimburse me for my losses! Ten thousand gold coins is already very cheap! Can't you just stop whining and be more generous? "
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, Gongzi You, you're a godly player in the Eastern Continent! Can't you stop being so calculative? It's embarrassing!" Spotless Autumn tried to goad Ye Ci.
However, Ye Ci was not having any of it, "Hey, Spotless Autumn, you're a godly player in the Southern Continent! Can't you stop being so generous? You're still a man! Don't you think it's a bit too much for you to be so calculative with a woman like me? "
"You!" Spotless Autumn suddenly felt that women were really unreasonable. Even a top-tier player like Ye Ci would not be able to change the nature of their gender.
"Cut the crap and hand over the money!" Ye Ci snorted. She had long wanted to teach Spotless Autumn a lesson. Now that she had found a way to deal with him, she was not going to let him go so easily.
Spotless Autumn sighed, "Hey, I'm not trying to take advantage of you. I really don't have any money." Ye Ci's words left Spotless Autumn with no other choice. "It's true that Mages earn a lot of money in the later stages of the game, but that only applies to Mages with only one Element. I …" He paused for a moment before continuing, "I'm a Mage with three Elements, and I really can't save any money. Why don't we sign a contract? I'll do something for you. How about we sign a contract? I don't have any money, but I'll give you my life. "
Ye Ci narrowed her eyes at Spotless Autumn's reaction. A Tri-Elemental Mage was indeed in need of money. Even if Spotless Autumn was the Solo King of the Southern Continent, he was still a money-grubber before he reached level 100. Ye Ci did not doubt Spotless Autumn's words. But ten thousand gold coins or the help of a top-tier Mage, which one was more worth it?
Without a doubt, it was the latter.
Ye Ci looked at Spotless Autumn from head to toe. It's fine if this guy can't return the favor. He can always come to Up Everyday to work.
"Alright. Let's sign a contract then." Ye Ci's hair stood on end as she stared at Spotless Autumn. Before he could break down, Ye Ci finally nodded in agreement.
The contract was automatically generated by the system. Once both parties agreed, the contract would take effect. There was no need for either party to worry about the other going back on their word.
Ye Ci looked at the contract carefully and stored it in her system. She was very satisfied with the result, "Since you're a reasonable person, I'll help you out."
Spotless Autumn rolled his eyes. She's a classic example of someone who's willing to take advantage of others. This woman … She's just like the rumors on the forums. She's ruthless …
Although the two of them were only level 60, even with the addition of Ol 'Four, there were only three level 60 players. However, these three level 60 players were not to be trifled with. Putting aside the fact that the two of them were equipped with decent equipment, the two of them were so skilled that it was as if they had been working together for years. Even Spotless Autumn, who was used to grinding monsters alone, had a strong desire to grind with someone like Ye Ci.
It was just too fast.
The Fourth Prince was tanking the Drows with a Seismic Blast, followed by his Frozen Realm, and Ye Ci's Multi Arrows. A large number of Drows were crowd-controlled, and red damage values rose up above their heads. After a few more uses of skills, the golden screen of skills was filled with excitement.
There were not many Drows roaming outside the Drows' settlement. There were only about thirty of them, but they were all of high level. They were the type of Drows that specialized in defense. Most of them were around level 100 to level 100. Even though Ye Ci and Spotless Autumn worked well together, it was not easy for them to kill a group of four or five Drows. Spotless Autumn had to spend more than half of his mana bar to kill all of them. This was why Spotless Autumn had to sit down and rest after clearing a group of Drows.
Compared to Spotless Autumn, Ye Ci did not have as much trouble. She did not lack mana. However, the Fourth Prince was not easy to deal with. The Fourth Prince's health was high, and his stamina was high. Ye Ci had to heal and feed The Fourth Prince every time Spotless Autumn sat down to rest. This was the only way to ensure that the Fourth Prince would not go on strike.
It took about an hour, and the Elves of various professions wandering outside the Drow tribe were wiped out by the two of them. The duo did not know how long it would take for the Drows to respawn, but they knew that it was almost time. They had to find a way to get into the settlement as soon as possible.
The night was getting brighter, and the mist in the forest was starting to disperse. The two of them sat not far away from the tribe and looked inside. There were many wooden huts in the settlement, and it seemed that the Drows lived in them. There were a lot of guards at the entrance, and they would be able to get into the settlement if they could get rid of the guards.
Ye Ci tossed a few Flash Grenades to make sure that there were no hidden monsters, and the duo began to attack the settlement.
While the two of them were busy searching for something in the Drow Tribe, the three major guilds that had been waiting for a long time in the Mojamir Plains were finally about to launch an attack on the desolate city called Tibain.
Sapphire Shrine.
"Guild Master, the people we sent to keep an eye on Gongzi You and Spotless Autumn have returned." Thousand Miles Dream reported to Sapphire Grace.
Ceylan Feng was currently delegating tasks to the other commanders. As he hadn't had a good rest for the past few days, there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes. However, his eyes were still bright and full of energy. It seemed that the lack of rest for the past few days didn't cause him much discomfort. On the contrary, with the upcoming battle, his fatigue had become a kind of motivation for him to work hard.
"What?" Sapphire Style lifted her head from the map and looked at Thousand Miles Dream. This time, Thousand Miles Dream was in charge of scouting the outskirts. He was a meticulous person and had brought back a lot of useful information. Sapphire Style used this information to modify her own siege plan.
The siege this time was no small matter. On one hand, they had to take down the desolate city with the least amount of losses. On the other hand, they had to keep an eye on the other two guilds and prevent them from causing any trouble. It did not matter if they defeated the other two guilds, but it would not be worth it if they affected the siege.
However …
With the three major guilds in a stalemate, it was impossible to attack the city without being affected by the other two guilds. But it did not matter. Sapphire Shrine had already made the most thorough preparations. As long as they did not cause any incidents such as monsters attacking the village, there would not be any problems.
Of course, this was not enough.
Sapphire Grace had always been a bold person, and he had always been meticulous about the details of his plans. That was why he had to nip all the problems in the bud.
The biggest problem for Sapphire Grace right now was the two uninvited guests. "What's the situation?" Even though the preparations for the upcoming battle were at its most crucial moment, Sapphire Grace was still very concerned about Gongzi You and Spotless Autumn. He even gestured for everyone to keep quiet so that he could listen to Thousand Miles Dream's report in peace.
"We've sent out three Thief parties, each with over twenty members. According to our informants, Gongzi You and Spotless Autumn entered the Sacred Snow Mountain three days ago, and there are no signs of them coming out. The scouts guarding the entrance of the Sacred Snow Mountain also reported that they did not leave the mountain to replenish their supplies. They should still be on the mountain. "Thousand Miles Dream reported.
"Do you know which part of the Sacred Snow Mountain they're in?" Sapphire Grace frowned after hearing Thousand Miles Dream's report. No one knew what he was thinking, but he paused for a moment before asking, "Which part?"
"We've sent out our best Thief parties to track them down, but they were unable to find any traces of them in areas below lvl80. They should be in a lvl90 to lvl120 area right now. However, that area is too dangerous, so we did not go in recklessly," Thousand Miles Dream replied. Dream of a Thousand Miles replied. Even though he did not know where Gongzi You and Spotless Autumn were, he was confident that Indigo Grace would not pursue the matter any further. After all, it was more important to maintain their fighting prowess before the start of the battle.
Sapphire Grace was very satisfied with Thousand Miles Dream's answer. He nodded and sighed, "It seems that they're here for a quest. But I have to say, I'm impressed that they were able to reach lvl90 to lvl120 leveling areas."
"Guild leader, will they affect the outcome of the battle?" One of the party leaders suddenly asked.
Sapphire Grace paused for a moment. In truth, he was also worried about this problem. However, even though the Mojamil Plains and the Sacred Snow Mountain were connected, there was no passage between them. It was impossible for them to come down from the Sacred Snow Mountain. Therefore, he abandoned the last bit of worry in his heart and shook his head. "Let's continue talking about our situation."
Stellar Union.
When Nangong Yunfei reported the incident between Spotless Autumn and Gongzi You to Lethal Poison, the latter was already fast asleep on his chair.
Toxic Poison was not the same as most people. For someone like Indigo Amorous, the more urgent the situation was, the more nervous he would be. His nerves were stretched taut, and even if he was allowed to rest, he might not be able to fall asleep. On the other hand, Toxic Poison was the opposite. The more important the situation was, the more relaxed he would be. He would even be unable to open his eyes. That was why Toxic Poison had to take a nap before the battle.
Nangong Yunfei knocked on the back of Toxic Poison's chair. Even though the knocking was not loud, Nangong Yunfei continued until Toxic Poison woke up from his slumber. Toxic Poison was clearly not fully awake yet. He stared at Nangong Yunfei in a daze, as if trying to identify the person who dared to disturb his sleep. When he realized that it was Nangong Yunfei, he let out a helpless yawn and said, "What's the matter? If it's nothing important, I'll beat you up."
Nangong Yunfei shrugged and told Toxic Poison about Gongzi You and Spotless Autumn. Toxic Poison's reaction was different from Sapphire Grace's. To be more precise, the two of them were paying attention to different areas of focus. Lethal Poison rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "If these two guys were to fight, would someone record a video?"
Nangong Yunfei was familiar with Toxic Poison's way of thinking. He even answered with a serious tone, "Nope."
Lethal Poison spread out his palms: "What a pity, if these two people could fight, it would really be worth watching. A Hunter versus a Mage, and a Tri-Elemental Mage at that. How interesting. "
"I don't think they'll fight." Nangong Yunfei immediately shattered Toxic Poison's little fantasy.
"Why not?"
"They're Alliance players here. Maybe they're doing a quest together." Nangong Yunfei's analysis was much more reliable than Toxic Poison's.
However, Toxic Poison's words were met with disdain, "Boring. You're too boring!"
Nangong Yunfei laughed, "It's almost time for the siege. Isn't that when the interesting things start happening?"
Lethal Poison snickered and yawned. Then, he stood up, straightened his back, took a deep breath, and walked out of his tent in the Mojamir Plains. Then, he shouted loudly, "Brothers! Gather! "
The scent of blood wafted through the air.
Melodious Flute relayed the news to Withered Bones.
Withered Bones nodded. He squinted his eyes at the Desolation City and said to Melodious Flute, "Let's get ready. Even though we don't want to lose too much in this battle, we still need to win in the chaos!"
Melodious Flute's gaze shifted to the Sacred Snow Mountain at the edge of the Mojamir Plains. The silhouette of the Sacred Snow Mountain could not be seen clearly due to the early morning mist. Gongzi You and Spotless Autumn were there. Hopefully, they would stay there forever.
"Alright, we'll win in the chaos." Melodious Flute nodded and smiled at Withered Bones as he raised his hand.
Withered Bones raised his hand as well, and the two high-fived under the morning light. "Good brother!"
The Sacred Snow Mountain.
The Drow Tribe.
Ye Ci and Spotless Autumn sat in the middle of a campfire that was littered with corpses. Spotless Autumn clicked his tongue as he stared at the Drows' corpses, "Say, Gongzi You, these are your brethren. You didn't go easy on them at all. You sure are ruthless."
Ye Ci shot a glance at Spotless Autumn, "The Slaver's Vessel is much bigger than this one. Everyone in the Slaver's Vessel is human, and they're your brothers. I can see that you're quite generous with your loot."
Spotless Autumn chuckled dryly as he pointed at an altar not far away from him. There was a pool of water that glowed with a faint blue light beside the altar. Ye Ci was no stranger to the fountain. The Elves believed that they were born from nature, and water was one of the most indispensable things in nature. The fountain could be found in every Elven tribe, be it in the Novice Village or the Monster Tribe, as long as the Elven society was formed by Elves, there would be a fountain of water.
It was said that any Elf who bathed in the spring water would be healed, regardless of the size of their wounds. It was one of the most important structures in the Elven tribe. Altars and other structures would usually be built beside the pool.
"It's on the altar. Do you see it? It's on the shelf in the middle of the altar." Spotless Autumn said as he took a bite of the meat, "But I don't know how to get it."
Indeed.
The Drow Tribe had been wiped out by the two of them, but there were still dozens of Drow kneeling below the altar. There was even a Drow who looked like a High Priest on top of the altar, saying something. These monsters were all linked together. If one of them was discovered, the rest of the Elves would swarm them. These Drow Tribe were all normal monsters, but there were so many of them, and their levels were so high.
Just as the two of them were pondering over this problem, a loud rumbling sound came from afar. The sound was so loud that the Sacred Snow Mountain shook slightly. Ye Ci and Spotless Autumn were startled. They looked at each other and asked in unison, "What's going on?"
However, before they could react to what was going on, they saw a group of drows not far away jumping up and scurrying around in a panic while mumbling something. Staying alive was the most important thing in a situation like this. Ye Ci summoned the Fourth Prince and went into Stealth. Spotless Autumn immediately drank an Intermediate Invisibility Potion to avoid the Drow Tribe.
As a human, Spotless Autumn did not learn the Elven language. He asked Ye Ci, "What are they talking about?"
Ye Ci did not pay much attention to what the Drow Tribe were talking about. Spotless Autumn's question caught her attention. She then replied, "They're talking about the God's wrath." The High Priest on top of the altar was also running around in a panic. However, he did not leave the altar. It was obvious that he was very concerned about the item on the altar.
The High Priest was a Level 120 Elite monster. If a Level 120 player encountered such a monster, they would be able to take care of it easily. However, Ye Ci and Spotless Autumn were both lvl 60 players, and they were very difficult to deal with.
"That Priestess seems to be frightened as well. Will we be discovered if we go up now?" Spotless Autumn was also aware of Ye Ci's discovery.
"I don't know." It was rare for an NPC to panic due to external disturbances in the game, and she was not able to make a direct judgment of the situation.
"Screw it. If we don't take advantage of the situation now, we won't have another chance!" Before Spotless Autumn could finish his sentence, an even louder explosion rocked the area. Even the High Priest began to flee for his life. He no longer cared about the items on the altar. Spotless Autumn took the opportunity to dash up the altar. He shouted to Ye Ci as he ran, "Cover me! You have to cover me! "
"Got it. Hurry up."
Spotless Autumn poured a bottle of Haste Potion into his mouth and dashed towards the altar. Although he was discovered by a few Drows, they were too busy running for their lives to notice how Spotless Autumn appeared, let alone retaliate.
Spotless Autumn was overjoyed. He grabbed the item on the altar and stuffed it into his inventory. He then turned around and ran towards Ye Ci.
Ye Ci heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Spotless Autumn was unharmed. She put away her bow and prepared to leave the Drow Tribe in Stealth.
Just then, a system notification rang out in Ye Ci's ears, "Your party members have disgracefully stolen the treasure of the Sacred Snow Mountain Drow Tribe and angered the Guardian Yeti. You will be tracked by the Guardian Yeti for 24 hours! Countdown begins … "
Roar!
A deafening roar rang out from the Drow Tribe. Ye Ci looked around, but could not find the Guardian Yeti. She could only grit her teeth and yell at Spotless Autumn, "What the hell did you do?!"
