Ye Ci did not expect Tamra to hand her an arrow.
Ye Ci was no stranger to the arrow, as she had a similar arrow in her possession. That's right, it was an arrow once used by Dau 'er, the Elven King. Unlike the Holy Light Arrow, the Elven King's arrow was green in color. Green smoke could be seen rising from the tip of the arrow when Ye Ci held it in her hand. Ye Ci could only see the name of the arrow — — Venomous Arrow. Other than that, she could not see any other attributes. Furthermore, it was listed as a quest item.
Despite not being able to see the item's stats, Ye Ci was certain that it was a very powerful item. The item's description did not mention who the owner of the item was, but Ye Ci was certain that it was an item similar to the Holy Light Arrow. Something that was once used by the Elven King, Dau 'er, would definitely be a powerful item.
Ye Ci set Ol 'Six to auto-navigate while she sat cross-legged on top of it. Tamra sat opposite her. Tamra was really too skinny. When they left the cave, Ye Ci realized that he was so skinny that he looked like a bag of bones. His loose robe hung loosely on his body as if it was a dead tree branch.
In the end, Tamra agreed to return to his hometown with Ye Ci. He sat on top of Ol 'Six with his back straight as if it was his pride. When Ol 'Six flew over Andriel's grave, Tamra sighed, "Andriel must have wanted to return to his hometown."
Ye Ci did not say anything. She stared at Tamra in silence. After Ol 'Six had flown far away and Tamra could no longer see Andriel's grave, Tamra turned to Ye Ci and said, "Young one, if you have the chance, please bring Andriel's remains back to his hometown …." He paused for a moment as a look of sorrow flashed across his youthful face. His lips trembled as he spoke, "Please bury his remains beside my grave."
"Alright." Ye Ci stared at Tamra quietly. She did not console him. Ye Ci thought that Tamra had already grown indifferent to life and death after such a long life of waiting. He was only saying these words because of his unfulfilled wishes.
"Thank you." A sincere smile finally appeared on Tamra's youthful face. Then, he laid flat on Ol 'Six's back and looked up at the sky. He muttered to himself, "So the sky here is very blue too. Although it's not as blue as the sky in my hometown, it has a different kind of beauty."
Tamra did not manage to wait until they returned to his hometown. He closed his eyes forever on Ol 'Six's back. When Ye Ci received the notification "Tamra has passed away", she was overcome by an uncontrollable sadness. She did not know why, but she could only feel the sadness in her heart.
This was the first time she sang in a game. She did not use the character's movements. Instead, she sang with her own voice. She sang for the old Elf who failed to fulfill his long-cherished wish. She sang for every Elf who died on the battlefield. This was the song of her hometown. It was a requiem for the Elves.
"The lilies of the valley on the mountain peak have been waiting. The bards have been singing. My love, where are you in the smoke of war? Where are you? The stream in the deep valley never stops flowing, and the song of the oriole next door never stops. My love, in the smoke of war, don't forget me, don't forget me. Time passed, year after year, day after day, night after night. My love, I've always been here, always been here. Have you ever forgotten me? Have you ever forgotten me? My love, the flames of war have been extinguished. Where are you? Where are you? The path home is here. Don't be lost. Don't be lost. "
When Ol 'Six flew into the sky above the Eastern Continent, Ye Ci opened up her quest interface. The quest had been changed to "Bury Tamra". Tamra's burial location was also indicated. All she needed to do now was to bring Tamra's body to the designated location and bury it.
It was not a difficult task. The designated location was in the Newbie Village where she was born. Ye Ci quickly dug a grave and took out Tamra's body from her inventory. She then buried it carefully. Tamra's body was placed in her inventory. This was a game. No matter how realistic a game was, there must be something that could only be explained by the game.
After Tamra's body was buried, a small grave appeared at the spot where Ye Ci had buried him. In front of the grave was an irregular tombstone. The words on the tombstone read: "Here lies a nameless hero." Of course, such touching words were not written by Ye Ci. If Ye Ci was the one who made the tombstone, she would have only written the name of the hero. She would not have come up with something like this. It was all thanks to the system's design.
After standing in front of the grave for a while, Ye Ci looked at her quest interface. The quest description was "Complete Tamra's Last Wish". It seemed that Andriel's body had to be moved back regardless of whether she was willing to be a busybody or not. Ye Ci carefully looked through the quest description. Even though the quest seemed to be closely related to the Elven King Dau 'er, it was still a side quest. It did not involve the main quest. It seemed that she would need to look for other clues if she wanted to know the true cause of Dau' er's death.
The arrow that Tamra gave her was not completely useless. Ye Ci brought it to Natasha. Natasha was surprised to see the arrow. She looked at Ye Ci, then at the arrow, then at Ye Ci. She then took the arrow from Ye Ci and stroked it gently, "I thought I would never see it again."
Natasha was a good NPC. Of course, she did not mean that the NPCs were good or bad. To Ye Ci, an NPC who cut straight to the chase was a good NPC. Natasha was one of those NPCs. Natasha was one of the best NPCs in the game. She rarely said anything that would cause Ye Ci to have to guess her intentions. She would always give out quests to Ye Ci directly, which saved Ye Ci a lot of trouble.
Natasha told Ye Ci about the history of this arrow. She told Ye Ci that this arrow had accompanied Dau 'er in many battles. However, after the Elven King Dau' er fell, all five of his arrows disappeared. It was a glorious thing for this arrow to return to the Elven race. Natasha also reminded Ye Ci, "This arrow is well preserved. It even has Dau 'er's aura on it. You should know that the Naga's minions are not completely dead. They are still searching the world for the power that can awaken the Naga. These powers are the power of justice. If you hold onto this arrow, you will be attacked endlessly by the Naga's minions. You must be careful."
Ye Ci wanted to ask Natasha how she could avoid being attacked by the Naga's minions. However, the system did not want to give the players this hint. Hence, Natasha kept her mouth shut.
After asking a few times, Ye Ci had no choice but to give up. It seemed that she would have to pray for the best in the future.
The bounty on her head had already passed, and she rode on Ol 'Six towards Hero City. With her current situation, it was safer for her to stay in the Middle Continent.
When Ye Ci returned to Hero City, she was no longer wanted by the NPC soldiers. However, the NPCs in Hero City treated Ye Ci coldly. Previously, Ye Ci was looked down upon by the NPCs in Hero City. But now, the NPCs had completely ignored her. Ye Ci wandered around the East District. After being ignored by the NPCs, she decided to go to the West District. Although the NPCs there were hostile towards the players, they would at least pay attention to her for the sake of money.
However, this time, Ye Ci was wrong.
Although money could make the world go round. Although it was impossible to do anything without money. But sometimes, there were some things that couldn't be solved with money.
It was a tragedy. Although the NPCs in the West District were not very nice and only welcomed players with red names, they would not show any mercy to those who attacked the city's protectors. Ye Ci walked around the West District, but none of the NPCs were willing to pay attention to her. This made Ye Ci feel a little uneasy.
It can't be, right? All the NPCs and public facilities are not working? Doesn't that mean that I have to fly back to Red Lake City to buy supplies and then fly back to level up? The price was not wrong! This was obviously the price of tofu!
Ye Ci stood in the middle of a crossroad in the West District. She rubbed her chin as she stared at the fountain in the middle of the street. Was there really no other way? She could not speak to the NPCs, which meant that she could not teleport back to the guild through the guild encampment. She could not use the public facilities, which meant that she could not get anyone to mail her anything. Was she supposed to get someone to deliver something to her? This, this, this was too much of a privilege. It did not fit her low-key personality.
Just as Ye Ci was in a dilemma, someone tugged at her sleeve. She looked down and saw a tanned little beggar sitting beside her, "Hey, adventurer, give me some money. I haven't eaten in a long time."
Ye Ci did not hesitate and threw 10 gold coins to the little beggar. The little beggar looked at her, counted the money, and walked away with a grin. Ye Ci only came back to her senses when the little beggar was gone. That little beggar was also an NPC. Why did he take the initiative to talk to her?
After realizing this, she looked around, but the little beggar was nowhere to be seen! Ye Ci immediately ran towards the direction where the little beggar had gone. It was a crisscrossing alley, but she could not find the little beggar even after running for a while. Ye Ci let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had missed something.
Just as Ye Ci was about to give up and leave, the little beggar's voice sounded again, "Hey, adventurer, are you looking for me?"
Ye Ci looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the little beggar had appeared out of nowhere. He was standing on the street that Ye Ci had searched.
"Why are you talking to me? Don't you know that I have become a wanted criminal because I attacked the city's guards?" Ye Ci narrowed her eyes and asked the question in her heart.
However, the little beggar did not seem to mind. He chuckled and turned to walk into a small alley. As he walked, he looked back and said, "You want to know the answer? Then come with me. "
Curiosity killed the cat.
At this moment, Ye Ci thought of this sentence.
This little beggar was too strange. If she followed him, would she die without a burial place? This thought only flashed through Ye Ci's mind for a moment. She immediately shook her head and let go. So what if she died once? This was a game. At most, she would lose some experience, some money, and some equipment if she died. If she was curious and did not investigate clearly, it would be the real problem.
In just a moment, Ye Ci immediately followed the little beggar. They weaved through the small box that was like a spider's web.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the little beggar finally stopped in front of a very inconspicuous tavern. The tavern's name also had a hint of evil — Devil's Horn.
Ye Ci felt a sense of unease expand in her heart. It seemed that she was being plotted against, but she could not figure out what it was.
When they entered the tavern, it was cold and cheerless. There was only a listless waiter leaning against the counter and dozing off. He did not even lift his eyes when Ye Ci came in. The little beggar was clearly very familiar with this place. He did not say anything and only gave Ye Ci a "follow me" look.
Ye Ci thought for a moment. Although she was unsure of the little beggar's identity, she did not reject him and followed him down the tavern.
Below the tavern was the kitchen. Behind the kitchen was a tightly shut door.
The little beggar knocked on the door rhythmically. Ye Ci looked at his movements carefully and tried to remember them. At this moment, the little beggar turned to Ye Ci and said, "White Elf, the adventure has begun!" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
