Elves were known for their slender and beautiful appearance, and their youthful appearance. Of course, there were failures like Ye Ci among the Elves, but that did not affect the overall quality of the Elves.
The Elf in front of him was obviously the perfect product of the Elves. Although it was only an NPC, its perfect appearance and slender body all proclaimed that the Elves were definitely a species favored by God. Oh, no, it was a species favored by the game designers.
Even though the Elf's soul was transparent, it was different from Andriel's. The translucency of a soul was greyish white in color, with a hint of green smoke lingering around it. On the other hand, the translucency of the Elf in front of Nie Yan felt like it had a solid body. Its overall color was also relatively bright. Even in the darkness of the night, it gave off the feeling of a teammate in Stealth.
However, the Elf's name was not the most eye-catching thing about him. By observing its attributes, he could see its name — Dore's Illusion.
That's right, the Elven King, Dau 'er.
Ye Ci's heart was comforted. She was happy that she was finally able to catch a glimpse of the main NPC of the quest after going through a long and troublesome journey.
"Look who's standing in front of me. It's two young Elves. " Dau 'er's illusion stood leisurely on the lid of the coffin with his hands spread open, giving off a kind of charm that made people unable to look away. Although it was just an illusion, the name that would often appear in Ye Ci's quests was very attractive. His close-fitting chainmail perfectly accentuated his muscles and slender figure. He did not give off the impression that he was too strong, nor was he too skinny. He was a very handsome man.
"Greetings, Elven King." As Elves, it was natural for them to respect the king of their race. At the very least, they had to put on a show of respect. That was why Ye Ci and Fleeting Time bowed respectfully to Dau 'er's Illusion.
Dau 'er's illusion was obviously very familiar with this kind of reverence. He only nodded slightly and accepted their salutes without any special expression. When the two straightened their backs, he spoke with a smile, "Oh, let me think. How long has it been since I last saw such a young Elf? A thousand years? Or two thousand years? " He stretched out his index finger and shook it gently, as if he was really thinking about this question. Then, he shrugged and gave up on thinking about this question. "Wow, it's been so long that even I can't remember. However … "As he spoke, he paused and revealed an amiable smile. He looked at the two of them and said," For you to be able to find this place, you must have gone through a lot of tests. "
You guys? Ye Ci and Fleeting Time were puzzled by Dau 'er's words, "Fleeting Time, he said' you '. Does that mean that we can complete the quest together?"
Fleeting Time shook his head, "I'm not sure yet. Keep talking to him. I'm sure he'll give you some hints later."
"It's our honor to be able to follow in your footsteps," Ye Ci replied to Dau 'er's illusion in the most standard gaming language. "We were hoping to see your true face here, but we didn't expect to only find your cenotaph here. Our most respected king, please tell us what happened?"
There was still a faint smile on Dau 'er's face, as if nothing would affect him no matter how big the matter was. "What happened …" His lips curled up, and then he let out a long sigh. "I really don't want to remember it. It's such a shame to talk about it."
Dau 'er's illusion told the two of them about the past. It was similar to what Ye Ci and Fleeting Time had learned. The kings of various races formed an alliance to fight against the Demon Lord Naga, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. At the final moment of the battle, the leaders of the alliance used their own bodies to create a magic formation to seal the Demon Lord Naga. The relics they left behind on the battlefield were collected by the monks of the Glory Cathedral and sent back to the cathedral to be buried. However, as the seal was not particularly perfect, Naga still had a weak consciousness. It used this weak consciousness to command its remaining troops and claws to search for these relics, hoping to use the remaining strength of the heroes above to open the seal.
The Middle Continent was left in ruins by the invasion of the demonic creatures, and even the Glory Cathedral was reduced to rubble. After the death of the last monk, the purpose of the burial of the heroes' clothing became a secret until Spotless Autumn discovered it.
Ye Ci was surprised by Dau 'er's illusion, "You're not sleeping in the tomb?"
"Of course. It'd be too lonely if it wasn't for that long period of time." The Elven King Dau 'er did not have the traditional appearance of a BOSS in an online game. He appeared to be very young, or at least, he appeared to be very young. "It's hard enough being locked up in a graveyard. Wouldn't it be even more boring to lie in a coffin all the time? That's why we do some entertainment." Dau 'er's illusion smiled at Ye Ci, "But you have to keep this a secret. If the other Elves know that I'm not doing my job properly, it'll tarnish my glorious image."
"Not doing your job properly …" Ye Ci sighed, "What do you mean by 'properly'?"
"Of course it's to lie in a coffin and pretend to be bored. Ahhhh … "Dau 'er's illusion couldn't help but shriek." That's way too boring. I can't just let my body and soul suffer all the time. Even my illusion has to suffer. That's too inhumane. "
Ye Ci was able to pick up on the information in his words, "Where is your body and soul?"
"At the center of the Ancient Battlefield. If I'm not mistaken, that place is still shrouded in mist. The mist is a magic formation that we've set up. As I've told you, the magic formation is not perfect. That's why the Naga is still alive. We thought that the magic formation would be able to seal the Naga for ten thousand years until a new hero replaces us. But … "Dau 'er's illusion suddenly turned serious," Recently, we've noticed that the Naga's consciousness has become more active. I believe that our seal is loosening. If this continues, the Naga will be able to break free from the seal very soon. When that happens, the light of the Naga Continent will no longer exist. "
Ye Ci sighed at Dau 'er's words. This quest doesn't sound easy. It's going to take at least a thousand players to complete this quest. She turned to look at Fleeting Time, "This is probably an Epic-tier quest. It's not something that the two of us can complete. We'll need to gather a lot of players. Do you want to do it?"
Fleeting Time nodded after a moment of thought, "We'll need a lot of players, but it shouldn't be a problem with the help of the elites from Up Everyday and Genesis. Besides, Epic-tier quests like this have great rewards for participating guilds and members. I'm sure Absalom and Bai Mo won't reject the quest even if it's a little difficult. "
There was no way Bai Mo would reject the quest, and Absalom's words made sense as well. Ye Ci pondered for a moment. If she were to accept the quest, she would be able to increase her guild's reputation. It would be a great help in the battle against Golden Era in the future. She spoke up to Dau 'er's illusion, "My king, we may not be very strong, but we have many companions. If you're willing, we're willing to share your burden."
NPCs would often wait for players to offer to help them solve their problems. This way, they would not force the players to do the quest, and they would be able to solve their own problems. This was why AI NPCs often used this method to tempt players into offering to solve their own problems. Dau 'er's illusion was one such example. Despite his friendly smile, it was clear that he was using this method to tempt Ye Ci and Fleeting Time. And of course, he succeeded.
Dau 'er's illusion nodded in satisfaction at Ye Ci's words. He glanced at Ye Ci and Fleeting Time before sighing, "We Elves are indeed the bravest race in the world. I'm very grateful that you've taken the initiative to help us."
The corners of Ye Ci's mouth twitched as she sighed in her heart. No matter what the NPC looks like, it's not easy to deal with an NPC that's been around for so long.
"I'm very grateful that you're willing to shoulder this burden, but we are still unable to seal the Naga. Go, young ones. Head to the Sacred Mountain of Zhuo Valley. I've heard that Danas is living in seclusion there. Find him and tell him why you're here. I'm sure he'll help you. " Dau 'er sighed, "By the way, Danas is the first Grand Magus to become a Holy Dragon Knight. He's an eccentric old man. He's given us a hard time in the past, but I'm sure he'll help you this time." Dau 'er then handed a damaged medal to each of them, "This is a medal that I've obtained from him. Take it with you and go look for him."
Ye Ci and Fleeting Time let out a sigh of relief when they saw the tattered emblem on the badge. The most difficult part of the quest had finally arrived.
After that, Dau 'er's illusion said a few meaningless words to the two of them before they bade farewell to Dau' er's illusion and left the secret cemetery.
They left the prayer room and made their way to the surface. As there were no monsters or treasure chests on this floor, there were practically no players on this floor. However, as the two of them were about to leave the prayer room, they saw a cloaked figure walking towards them. The figure was slightly plump, but he was not slow. He stopped abruptly when he brushed past Ye Ci and Fleeting Time. Ye Ci and Fleeting Time had already spread out in two different directions. Their bows were drawn, and two arrows were fired at the cloaked figure.
In the blink of an eye, that person rolled on the ground, turned into a cheetah, and jumped away. If Fleeting Time and Ye Ci's reactions were fast enough, then the Druil's reaction was just as fast.
"Gongzi You, Fleeting Time, please have mercy on me. We're not enemies." The cheetah rolled on the ground again, and the Druid escaped the attack range of the two people. At the same time, his voice was heard.
The voice sounded familiar. Ye Ci and Fleeting Time looked at each other and stopped attacking, but they did not stop attacking. They remained in their attacking positions and stared at the Druil cautiously.
The Druid transformed back into his human form. He stood there calmly and took off his hat. He helplessly smiled at the two of them. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have stopped suddenly. But you two are too fast. You came without saying anything. Such a dangerous skill. Do you want to kill me instantly?"
Ye Ci stared at the chubby face and the smiling face of the Druil. Who else could it be but Lethal Poison?
What's going on today? Spotless Autumn, and now Lethal Poison. Are the Four Great Players of the Four Continents going to have a meeting?
Fleeting Time was the first to laugh out loud, "So it's you." It was not hard to tell that he was familiar with Lethal Poison from the way he spoke. But that was not surprising. They were both top players of the Alliance Continent. Stars and Genesis were also Alliance Guilds. It was only natural that they would be in contact with each other.
"I thought that my body shape was a symbol. At the very least, you wouldn't mistake me for someone else. From this, it can be seen that I was wrong. With a cloak, even my mother doesn't know who I am." Lethal Poison sighed and mocked himself.
"Why are you here?" Ye Ci might have made a deal with Lethal Poison, but she was not as familiar with Lethal Poison as Fleeting Time. She kept her crossbow and stood beside Fleeting Time while the two were conversing.
"Me?" Lethal Poison raised his jet-black eyebrows as his gaze shifted between the two of them. He then surveyed the terrain and suddenly chuckled. "If I'm not wrong, both of you are here for the same purpose as me." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
