In the Lugulu Corridor, a terrible battle quietly came to an end. The flames dissipated, and the darkness returned, restoring peace.
The remaining flames on the ground disappeared in a minute and returned to their territories to resurrect.
And with this death, not only the skill proficiency decreased, but also 30% of the items that were not equipped fell into Rozen and Lifa's pockets.
A window appeared in front of Rozen and Lifa, telling them what they had gained from the battle just now.
Although this battle was a little thrilling, the harvest was also great.
At least, Rozen alone obtained 30% of the items of 19 players, which could be said to be a huge profit.
Even Lifa obtained 30% of the items of the squad leader, which made her, who wasn't that obsessed with items, relax.
"No wonder when different races encounter each other, they are bound to kill each other. If there is such a harvest, there would be no room for negotiation. Even if it was just for these items, they would still kill each other, right?"
Rozen couldn't help but say.
"That's why race wars often occur, especially the Fire Elves. From the beginning, their goal was to rob the players' resources to strengthen themselves. That's why they are the most powerful race among the nine races."
Lifa didn't seem to be too interested in this behavior.
Rozen didn't care.
"A game is a game. Just enjoy it. Why think so much?"
So Rozen accepted all the loot with a clear conscience.
"That's true."
Lifa was obviously a thick-skinned person. She didn't want to dwell on it too much, so she quickly closed the main window.
The two of them looked at each other and didn't set off again. Instead, they fell into deep thought.
"What do you think?"
Lifa asked tentatively.
The reason for her question was simple.
"No matter how I look at it, this is a premeditated action. I don't think they attacked us by chance."
Lifa said bluntly.
Rozen naturally thought so too.
"From the beginning, these guys set up a strategy against me. If there's nothing fishy about it, I won't believe it."
Rozen expressed his opinion.
"Then, who do you think would know so much about you and leak information about you?"
Although Lifa asked, she already had an answer in her heart.
There was no other way.
"I just created this character not long ago. Since then, I've always been in the capital of the Wind Elves' territory. Furthermore, other than in front of you, I've only fought once in public. Apart from the Wind Elves in the Siiluban, who else would know of my extraordinary speed and can only use Elementary Magic?"
Rozen said this with a smile.
Lifa was silent.
Just as Rozen had said, only the Wind Elves who had witnessed Rozen and Sigrunt's duel in the Wind Tower of Siruban, the capital of the Wind Elves' territory, had personally witnessed the duel between Rozen and Sigrunt.
Since that was the case, the one who leaked the information about Rozen was undoubtedly the Wind Elf.
Among these Wind Elves, there was only one person who had a grudge against Rozen and would take the initiative to provide information about him, causing him to encounter a targeted ambush in the wild. Other than that person, who else could it be?
"Sigrunt … is it?"
Lifa muttered the name softly.
After all, only Sigrunt had the motive to do so.
"Because he lost to you and lost his face, he secretly leaked information about you and allowed the Fire Elves to ambush us, right?"
Lifa sighed.
It was indeed something that Sigrunt would do.
With a grudge in his heart, even if Sigrunt didn't make a move himself, he would purposely come up with a scheme to secretly leak information about Rozen, causing Rozen to be targeted by the enemy.
She had to admit that Sigrunt was exactly the same as what she had seen before: self-righteous, prideful, and petty. He was simply a despicable person that people couldn't hate more.
But …
"If it's just because of the grudge in his heart, it would be great."
Rozen said coldly.
"What I'm afraid of is that it's not just because of the grudge."
Rozen's words stunned Lifa.
"Not just because of the grudge?"
Lifa didn't seem to understand what Kieran meant.
"Think about it, silly girl." Rozen looked at Lifa and couldn't help but laugh. "Actually, there's another situation. Someone among the Wind Elves will leak information about me or even our whereabouts, allowing the Fire Elves to ambush us."
What situation?
"That is, there's a spy for the Fire Elves among the Wind Elves."
Rozen calmly pointed out this point.
"Wh …!?"
Lifa's eyes widened.
But …
"What's so strange about that?" Rozen curled his lips and said, "Since this is a game that encourages war between races, isn't it natural to send spies to enemy races to gather information?"
Although Siruban, as the capital of the Wind Elves, had strict countermeasures against the hostile Fire Elves, not only did they set up powerful NPCs to kill the Fire Elves as soon as they discovered them, but once the Fire Elves entered their territory, all the Wind Elves would move out together to kill the enemy.
But this was only against the Fire Elves.
Considering the cruelty of the war between races, it wouldn't be surprising if the Wind Elves were bribed by the Fire Elves and did something to harm the other races.
There were a lot of people who would sell out their own people in the real world. In the game, there were no legal or moral restrictions. If it was purely a game, there should be more people willing to do it.
Since that was the case, it was understandable that the Fire Elves would leak information about Rozen and Lifa and have the Fire Elves ambush them.
"Don't forget, you're one of the top five experts among the Wind Elves. It's very tempting for the Fire Elves to hunt you. And I easily defeated the troublesome Sigrout who was the runner-up in the martial arts tournament. He's obviously a newcomer, but his skills are so high. As an enemy race, it's natural for them to want to suppress such a strong future enemy."
Rozen said.
"Then … Who became the spy for the Fire Elves and betrayed the Wind Elves?"
Lifa asked anxiously.
To this, Rozen gave this answer.
"I think it should be Sigrout, right?"
Rozen confirmed.
"Why him?"
Lifa asked doubtfully.
"Because it's very likely that there's an element of taking revenge in public." Rozen said straightforwardly, "Besides, that guy looks like an incompetent scoundrel who would betray his race. How could he leak information about me to the Fire Elves in such detail? Other than him, who else could it be?"
Of course, this was just a guess.
But …
"Your friend called Raigan said before we left that he had something he cared about and had to stay in Sigrout's team, right?" Rozen said casually, "Then, what is it that he cared about that made him give up following you, the one he loves the most, and hand you over to his biggest love rival?"
"It's not about love or love rival!" Lifa slapped Rozen angrily.
But Lifa understood what Rozen wanted to say.
"I think that kid called Raigan should have noticed something unusual about Sigrout."
Rozen asserted.
"You better get in touch with him quickly. Otherwise, he might do something reckless. After all, that guy is a little stupid …"
Before Lifa could finish her sentence, a blinking icon appeared in front of her.
That was …
"A message from Raigan …?"
Lifa had a bad feeling in her heart.
