Ye Ci's vision suddenly turned gray. She could not see anything at all. Ye Ci did not know where she was. She tried her best to move her body, but it was as if her body did not belong to her. It was as if there was a powerful force pulling her consciousness out of her body. She felt a splitting headache. She tried to press on her temples, but she could not do so.
The intense headache became more and more apparent. Ye Ci opened her mouth and tried to take in a deep breath of fresh air, but she could not do so. She could only feel her head hurting more and more. The pain then spread to her entire body, her bones, her limbs, and even her pores. The pain of having her consciousness torn apart from her body was so excruciating that Ye Ci almost screamed out loud.
In fact, she had already done so. A shrill scream escaped from Ye Ci's throat. It was so ear-piercing that even Ye Ci herself could hear the pain. Her scream gradually faded away, and she was finally able to breathe. That is, if she still needed to breathe.
Yes, she no longer needed to breathe.
She sat up, but when she lowered her head, she saw that her body was still lying on the ground. Fleeting Time was squatting beside her body. He was staring at her body with a frown, as if something was bothering him. At the same time, rays of gentle white light enveloped her body, indicating that she was being revived by a Cleric.
Fleeting Time's expression grew darker and darker. His mouth opened and closed, as if he was trying to say something. But Ye Ci could not hear him. She could only stand there and watch. Ye Ci knew that she was not really dead, but the situation was truly miraculous. It was as if she was really dead. It was as if she had experienced the pain of her soul being separated from her body.
"Welcome, Elf, to my paradise." Just as Ye Ci was pondering how she should communicate with him, the voice rang out once more. Ye Ci immediately turned around, and saw a person in a black cloak standing not far away. He was about the same height as an average player, and his entire body was shrouded in black smoke. He looked mysterious and powerful.
Ye Ci turned around and stared at the NPC who was not far away from her. She took a peek at his stats, and it was sad. His name, level, and all of his stats were unknown. This time, there was not even a question mark. Ye Ci let out a sigh of relief. This guy is really … mysterious.
"Who are you?" Ye Ci asked the question that she wanted to know the most. That's right. She wanted to know the identity of the NPC, and how he brought her to this place. But Ye Ci wasn't sure if the mysterious person would tell her the truth even if she wanted to know.
She wasn't wrong at all. The mysterious man in black let out a low chuckle from under his cloak. He sounded really happy. Then, he raised his hand. Ye Ci stared at the pair of hands. What a pair of beautiful hands. Ye Ci had seen many pairs of hands, but none of them were as beautiful as this pair. It was a pair of fair, delicate, and slender hands. The nails were pale white, and the fingers seemed to be lacking in color. Other than that, the pair of hands was like the most noble piece of art in the world.
There was no one like him.
That was the word that popped up in Ye Ci's mind as she stared at the pair of hands. Those words were very suitable to describe the pair of hands. She saw the pair of hands slowly lift up, and the soft black robe slid down from his wrists, revealing a pair of equally perfect wrists. Then, the pair of hands took off the hood on his head.
For a moment, Ye Ci felt as if a bright golden light flashed in front of her eyes. It was so bright that she could barely open her eyes. However, there was no light, but the person in front of her was dazzling. Such a perfect appearance was difficult to describe with words. He had a head of long, golden hair that reached the ground. It was so out of place in this gray environment. Or rather, it was illogical for this person to appear in such an environment, but he just had to appear like this.
Strange. It was bone-chilling strange.
"Who am I? I've asked myself this question before, but I haven't found the answer until now. If you're asking for my name, I think you should be very familiar with it. However, a name is just a codename to me. As for who I am, I don't know either. " The man spoke slowly, and a smile appeared on his face. It was as pure and beautiful as a lotus flower blooming under the night sky. It was fascinating.
Ye Ci felt a little dizzy as she listened to this tongue-twisting explanation. Although she wanted to interrupt or skip this conversation, after all, treachery was very useful against normal NPCs, but not against high-level NPCs. Thus, she patiently listened to him, but she kept cursing him in her heart. Damn it, I'm just asking who you are. Can't you just tell me your name? Why are you talking so much? Do you think you're doing a crosstalk?!
"You're very familiar with me?" Ye Ci raised her eyebrows and looked at the man quietly. Although her memory wasn't very good, it was definitely not bad. How could she forget such an unforgettable appearance? It was impossible. She was 100% sure that she had never seen this man before. Who are you trying to fool? I don't have the time to entertain you if you're trying to put on a show here. Ye Ci cleared her throat and replied solemnly, "I don't remember."
The NPC did not seem to be surprised by Ye Ci's response. Or rather, he did not seem to care about Ye Ci's answer. He nodded with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you're in trouble."
Ye Ci raised her eyebrows even higher. She stared at the NPC. If there was any trouble, it would be Golden Era's summoned creature. She had died without killing the enemy's main Summoner, and Fleeting Time had gone deep into the enemy's camp to retrieve her corpse. It was as if Golden Era had poked a hornet's nest. Golden Era was now in a state of panic. Even if someone had wings, they would not be able to fly in. If that was the case, then there was no way to interrupt the summoning circle. It seemed like the summoned beast would definitely be summoned. And if that thing really came out, then wouldn't it be a huge problem for them?
However, the strange thing was that this was just an NPC. How could he know? Even if he was an AI NPC, how did he know that she was in trouble?
Ye Ci pondered for a moment and decided not to pursue the matter. What was more important was that the NPC seemed to be able to help her. "I'm indeed in trouble. But, does it have anything to do with you?"
"Whether it has anything to do with me or not, that depends on your choice." The man suddenly waved his hand and an exquisite and quaint chair appeared out of thin air. He sat on it leisurely and leaned on it, looking very elegant and elegant.
"Tell me what you want." Ye Ci's eyes darkened. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Since the man had brought her to this place and said so many ambiguous words, it meant that he would definitely be able to help her solve the problem. However, his method of solving the problem would require her to do something. Ye Ci decided to ask for the man's intentions.
But to her surprise, the man was stunned for a moment after hearing Ye Ci's words. Then, a bright smile bloomed on his face. He actually clapped his hands lightly, nodding and laughing as he clapped, "Interesting, very interesting! I never thought that the Elves would become so interesting after so many years. You're much more interesting than Dau 'er. "
"You know Dau 'er?" Ye Ci's heart skipped a beat when she heard the name. Could it be a side quest related to the Elven King Dau 'er? She didn't have time to think and immediately asked.
"I only know the name." The man smiled and said frivolously, "I don't like to remember losers."
Losers? Ye Ci was stunned. Elven King Dau 'er was an ancient hero and the Great God of War of the Elven Race. His deeds were glorious, and he was valiant. Yet, such a person was defeated by this person? Who was this man? Ye Ci quickly searched through the books she had read about the Elven King. It seemed that he was rarely defeated. There was no record of him being defeated in the history books. The only time he was defeated was …
Ye Ci began to break out in cold sweat. Her back was wet and cold. She looked at the man in front of her quietly. She even felt her limbs turn cold.
She thought she knew who this person was.
He said that she should know who he was. He said that he could solve the problem. He said that Dau 'er was defeated by him. There was only one person who could do all of this.
Ye Ci's mouth went dry. She gulped nervously, but her face remained calm. No one could tell that she was anxious. She slowly exhaled, tilted her head, and said, "I'm really lucky. How many people in this world can see your true face? Naga? "
Naga did not seem surprised that Ye Ci had guessed his identity. He laughed, "Aiya, I knew it. Elves are getting more and more interesting after so many years."
"No matter what the problem is, I don't want to agree to your conditions." Although the grudges between the NPCs had nothing to do with her, Ye Ci did not want to give up on the Elven King's quest when she was so close to completing it.
"Is that so?" Naga did not seem surprised by Ye Ci's rejection, "Are you sure you don't want my help?"
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Furthermore, this was given to me by you, King Naka, so it's impossible for me to not have any price at all. I think, no matter what price you want, it's not something I can bear." Ye Ci shook her head. Although Golden Era was about to be defeated, this was the only way. She hoped that there would be a chance to fight back next time.
"No matter what the situation is, is this your decision?" Naga was still smiling, as if this was a normal thing.
"Yes. No matter what, I will never betray my faith." Ye Ci replied in standard gaming language.
Naga nodded, "I understand your intentions, but I still want to confirm it." He raised his hand, and the gray fog around them disappeared. Ye Ci could see the battlefield where Golden Era and Up Everyday were fighting. It was as if she was looking at the situation outside through a thick layer of glass, but the people outside could not see her at all.
The players of Golden Era clashed with the players of Upwards Ho!, Wolf Pack, Tang Dynasty, and World Conqueror in the boundless wilderness. Countless skills were unleashed on the battlefield, and as the battle raged on, the players of Golden Era fell one after another, only to be replaced by new ones.
It was a strange feeling. This was the first time they were not fighting together. It was the first time she was watching from the sidelines. But she could still feel the cruelty of the battlefield. Not only that, but she also felt a strong sense of anger. Anger that she could not fight side by side with them. Anger that she was careless.
Ye Ci clenched her fists tightly. Naga's voice rang in her ears. He was calm and relaxed, "Ah, so many years have passed, but you are still so warlike. Look, this battlefield is still the same as it was thousands of years ago. Death, death, countless deaths …"
A terrifying roar suddenly rang out from afar. Ye Ci's face turned pale when she looked towards the source of the roar. It was a summoned beast! A giant scorpion had appeared in Golden Era's camp. In front of it, all the players were as small as ants. At this moment, the scorpion was raising its pincers and roaring at the sky. It was a terrifying sight to behold.
"Aiya, they can actually summon little Ladar. Looks like your comrades are all going to die." Naga was standing behind Ye Ci. He lowered his head and whispered into her ear with a smile.
Ye Ci relaxed her fists and lowered her eyes. On one hand, it was Up Everyday's hard work. On the other hand, it was her own interests. What should she choose? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
