Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Sorrowful Canyon was a flat land between two mountain ranges. A clear river flowed slowly through the middle of the flat land. Trees grew on the flat land, and although they did not reach the sky, their branches were dense enough to blot out the sun.
There were no buildings in the Sorrowful Canyon, and Ye Ci had no idea where the Dark Cultists came from. Based on the distribution of monsters in Fate, such a large number of humanoid monsters would not appear out of nowhere. There would definitely be a camp of these humanoid monsters in the vicinity of the spawn point. Ye Ci had not seen such a campsite even after walking for a long time, and that piqued her curiosity.
Ye Ci's supply of food was running low. Unlike mobs, humanoid monsters would not drop food. She had almost used up all the food she had on hand to feed Ol 'Six. Fortunately, humanoid monsters did not drop food, but they would drop some cooked food. Although the drop rate was not high, it was enough to replenish Ol 'Six's dwindling rations.
Ye Ci fought the Dark Cultists and Wailing Vultures endlessly. She had a meal and a nap in between. She had spent more than 15 hours fighting the Dark Cultists and the Wailing Vultures in the Sorrowful Canyon. Although a large number of diary fragments had been dropped, most of them were already in existence. There were very few fresh ones. It seemed that the drop rate of each diary fragment was different. Those fragments that recorded important information had a much lower drop rate.
Ye Ci pieced the diary fragments together. The first half of the diary was clearly visible, but there was nothing of value in the first half. It was basically Tamra's feelings after the war broke out, and his escape from the Elven homeland. Most of the entries were written by Tamra himself. Most of the entries were based on his own emotions. Most of the entries were based on poems, and they looked like a travelogue.
The second half of Ye Ci's diary, which contained information about the Elven soldier and Dau 'Er, was the most important part of the diary. Ye Ci felt that her greatest strength was her patience. Anyone who had to do the same thing over and over again would get bored. The only difference was the length of time they would get bored. Ye Ci was the kind of person who could continue to do the same thing even when she was bored. It was probably because of this that she was able to read books in the library for an entire year when she was being hunted down in her past life.
Although it was boring to farm the diary fragments, it was much more interesting than reading books in the library. At the very least, she could look forward to leveling up in the future.
Despite being able to gain more experience points from killing monsters of a higher level, Ye Ci's experience bar had only increased by 15%. Ol 'Six, on the other hand, had leveled up from lvl47 to lvl51 in less than ten hours.
The higher Ol 'Six's level, the more powerful its stats would be. This meant that it would be more effective against monsters of a higher level.
Ye Ci logged in and logged out of the game. After killing monsters for more than 36 hours, Ye Ci finally found a description of Tamra's hiding spot from a Dark Cultist.
"… I ran all over the place, fleeing all over the place. There were a few times when they almost caught up to me, but I still managed to escape their tracks. I have to thank my race for giving me a chance to survive in the wild. I ran through the forest and through the wilderness. I think I'm about to escape from them … … "
"… … As a Druil, although I'm not qualified, I've learned enough. I transformed into various animals and hid in the forest. I watched as the Naga's minions walked past me. I'm curious as to why they didn't find me. There were a lot of Druil on the battlefield. Maybe I didn't have the will to fight … … "
"The Naga's minions have finally left. I finally have the chance to thank the forest for saving my life."
"I've decided to stay here. I'll make this place my home, my tomb. I'll stay here and wait for the people who inherit Dau 'er's will to find me."
The fragments of the diary came to an abrupt end. Ye Ci was speechless. The diary seemed to indicate where Tamra's final resting place was, but it was too much of a fluke. Quests were not like novels. Quests required a precise location, coordinates, latitude and longitude. Ye Ci's judgement was hindered by the fact that Tamra's location was too vague.
Ye Ci looked at the diary fragment. The fragments had automatically combined into a book while Ye Ci was reading them. However, the book was still missing a lot of pages. It seemed that she would have to collect all the pages in the book before she could pinpoint Tamra's exact location.
Ye Ci went through Tamra's diary once more. After confirming that her judgement was correct, she headed deeper into the canyon.
Ye Ci did not remember anyone completing this quest in her past life. Perhaps someone did not want to share the quest, or perhaps no one had discovered it. After all, such hidden quests in Fate required luck to trigger. For example, the words on the diary fragment were in the Elven Common Language. This meant that only players who were proficient in the Elven Common Language would be able to understand the words. Other players would have to learn the Elven Common Language if they wanted to understand the words. However, there were too many races in Fate. Every race had their own unique language, and learning each race's language would cost a lot of money. Therefore, most players would not be willing to spend the money to learn the languages of other races. This was why very few players were able to accept quests that were unique to certain races.
Secondly, even if the players who discovered the diary fragment were Elves and could understand the words on it, they would not be able to do so if they had not accepted a quest related to the Elven King, Dau 'er.
Ye Ci was usually able to complete tasks that tested her patience well.
After 50 hours of in-game time, Ye Ci finally collected enough diary fragments from the Dark Disciple.
"… I like this place. This place was very similar to my hometown. Tall and dense trees allowed elves to live in the trees. Wild flowers bloomed on the flat land covered with green grass. A clear river flowed through the middle of the flat land. It was just like the place where Tina and I used to date. Oh, I'm thinking of Tina again. I've been missing her a lot lately. I wonder if it's because I'm getting older. "
"I didn't build my house on a tree. It's too dangerous there. Who knows when the Naga's minions will come back. The cave on the mountain wall is the best place to hide. Perhaps, I'll be buried here in the end. Even though Elves don't place their corpses in caves, I've already forgotten what Elves are like … "
"I'm not a warrior. I'm not a follower of Dau 'er. I'm just an Elf who lives in the lowest rung of society. The Elf King Dau 'er is just a name to me. I don't know why, but I miss him so much now. "
"My kin who has inherited the will of the Elf King. Can you find me? I don't know how long I can live … "
… …
Tamra's location was clearly described in the fragments, and Ye Ci could not help but feel that it was the Sorrowful Canyon. Luckily, Tamra did not build his home on a tree. Finding an Elven Druil on a tree was much harder than finding an Elven Druil in a cave.
It was a piece of cake for Ye Ci to find a cave in the middle of the two mountains. She had Ol 'Six to help her with her search. With Ol 'Six on her back, Ye Ci began her search at the edge of the Sorrowful Canyon. She was able to fly freely in the lvl80 region since the monsters there were not much of a threat to Ol' Six. But once she crossed the river and entered the lvl120 region, she would have to be extra careful. There were also flying monsters in the area. They were gigantic poisonous mosquitoes. Fortunately, they were not very fast and were scattered all over the place. Ye Ci flew close to the mountain wall and dodged a few poisonous mosquitoes. Finally, she found a well-hidden cave in the corner.
The entrance to the cave was very small, and Ol 'Six would not be able to fit through it. She had no choice but to let Ol' Six hover at the edge of the cave while she used her Cat Claw to latch onto the wall of the cave. She then jumped into the cave with ease.
After recalling Ol 'Six, Ye Ci walked deeper into the cave.
It was a small cave. To be more precise, it was a narrow crevice in the mountain. It was narrow and winding, and Ye Ci had to stoop as she walked through it. The cave was extremely well-hidden. If not for the Elven words carved into the wall at the entrance, Ye Ci would have thought that she had entered the wrong place.
She held the torch and walked along the cave. After walking for a short while, she heard a low singing voice coming from the front. The voice was low and hoarse. It was filled with the traces of time. Ye Ci was very familiar with the lyrics. It was a song that every Elf heard when they were born.
"… The lily of the valley on the mountain peak has been waiting. The bards have been singing. My love, in the smoke of war, where are you? … "
Ye Ci stood in the cave and thought for a while. Then, she brought up the game character's actions and selected the singing option. A few options popped up. They were songs that every Elf knew how to sing. Ye Ci selected one, and her character began to sing automatically. Although the voice came from her throat, Ye Ci did not have to think. The system arranged everything on its own. This was one of the things that Ye Ci was most satisfied with. If not for that, Ye Ci would never have been able to recall the lyrics of the song. Even if she could recall the lyrics, she would not have been able to sing them with her innate inability to sing them.
"Have you ever forgotten me? Have you ever forgotten me? My love, the smoke of war has been extinguished. Where are you? Where are you? The way home is here. Don't be lost. Don't be lost. "
"Who's there?" The singing in the cave stopped, followed by the low and hoarse voice.
"It's me." Ye Ci replied loudly. She walked into the cave as she answered, "I'm an Elf from the Magia Continent." Ye Ci had already reached the deepest part of the cave. She saw an Elf sitting on the ground in the deepest part of the cave.
Although the Elves had a face that would never age, this Elf had snow-white hair and eyebrows. This showed that he was very old. Below his white eyebrows were a pair of green eyes that had a sharp glint in them.
At that very moment, the pair of sharp eyes were fixed on Ye Ci. This Elf looked very thin and old. However, Ye Ci could feel a faint pressure from him. Ye Ci took a look at the Elf's stats. It was lvl120. Ye Ci knew that the Elf would be able to kill her with a single swipe of its claws if she didn't do anything right.
"Greetings, respected tribesman. I'm Gongzi You. When I was adventuring nearby, I came across a diary fragment of a tribesman called 'Tamra'. I collected the fragments and found this place. I didn't expect to hear a song from my homeland. I was so touched that I started singing. I'm sorry for disturbing you." Ye Ci bowed respectfully. She was also very careful with her words.
The Elf looked at Ye Ci from head to toe and smiled, "So you found that thing …" He sighed, "I'm Tamra. I wrote that diary when I was young. I stopped writing about it a long time ago."
Ye Ci stole a glance at Tamra when he was sizing her up. It seemed that the diary wasn't completely accurate. At least, this Tamra wasn't as useless as what was written in the diary. Ye Ci was sure that this Tamra was a powerful BOSS NPC.
"Since you're from your homeland, can you tell me what it's like now? Is it still in ruins? "Tamra's green eyes showed a hint of helplessness and longing.
"My homeland is very beautiful. It's full of life. I can't tell that it was once burned by the flames of war. The Elves are thriving again." Ye Ci thought for a moment and replied.
