Lan Xiaoyin followed behind the hooded man and walked into the depths of the alley.
Perhaps his acting was a little exaggerated. Looking at the hooded man's expression, he should be suspicious of him. However, who told him to be a genuine elf?
Moreover, his character setting was an elf whose disguise spell had failed. However, his disguise spell had failed more than a month ago.
"What's your name?" the hooded man asked at this moment.
Lan Xiaoyin paused. Thinking of his in-game name that had been ridiculed many times, he was a little embarrassed.
After a moment of silence, he whispered,
"Blue Mark …"
The hooded man didn't make fun of him. Instead, he nodded and said, "I know you. You're the son of the green mark."
Lan Xiaoyin: …?
[Hahahahaha, I'm f * cking laughing.]
[What the f * ck is the son of the green mark?]
[Ahahahaha, what the hell is the green mark?]
Lan Xiaoyin felt that playing this game had been very tiring recently.
He was a hundred percent sure that the blue mark was the name he had given himself. This was the online name he had used for a long time. Then, here came the question …
In the game, he had set up his parents. Why was one of them called the green mark?
"Don't you live in the East City Ranch? Why did you come here? "While he was in a daze, the hooded man continued to ask.
The spawn point of Lan Xiaoyin's account was indeed in Star Catcher City. However, according to the rules of the game, he definitely wouldn't know everything about his background. Therefore, he knew very little.
Of course, he knew that his elf parents had passed away.
Therefore, he stammered, "I sensed something unusual."
The hooded man paused and turned to look at him. "You sensed it too?"
Lan Xiaoyin looked at his sparkling eyes, thought for a moment, and said hesitantly, "The Tree of Life?"
"Shh!"
The hooded man made a shushing gesture and cautiously scanned the surroundings.
Lan Xiaoyin hurriedly covered his mouth.
What kind of incredible secret was this? So nervous.
The hooded man nodded and continued to walk forward. His attitude towards him was obviously better. He should have let down his guard.
"Continue walking. I'll take you to see the elders."
[Wow, elf elders!]
[From the looks of it, there should be quite a number of Elf NPCs, and they have also sensed the revival of the Tree of Life.]
[Host, do your best! Whether we can reincarnate into elves in the future depends on you!]
[I think the host's acting skills are worrying.]
[I never thought that playing games would require acting skills. Looks like it's time to buy an actor's self-cultivation book.]
[By the way, I'll send a copy to the host as well. Hahaha]
Lan Xiaoyin looked at the bullet screen and rolled his eyes.
Was his acting that bad? Didn't this NPC believe him in the end? But …
He was still a little concerned about the green mark!
Finally, the hooded man led him to a house with a garden and slipped in through the back door.
This house looked quite grand. Just by looking at it, one could tell that the owner was from a well-off family.
Of course, no one would have thought that the people living in this house were actually the legendary elves.
"Angus, who is this?"
As soon as they entered, an old man came out to greet them. He first greeted the hooded man, then looked at Lan Xiaoyin.
Lan Xiaoyin could feel his scrutinizing gaze. Finally, the old man's gaze fell on his ears.
This kind of realistic feeling of being sized up made him forget that he was in a game.
He bowed slightly, imitating the hooded man named Angus, and bowed to the old man.
"Good day, Elder Victor."
After he bowed, Angus introduced, "This is the blue mark. I saw his disguise on the street had failed, so I brought him back."
"Blue mark?"
Elder Victor nodded. "Are you the son of the green mark?"
Lan Xiaoyin was speechless.
'If you say so.'
"You do look like it," Elder Victor said. "Come closer."
He raised his hand at Lan Xiaoyin.
Lan Xiaoyin was a little scared, but then he remembered that he was a player and could be revived after death, so there was nothing to be afraid of. So he took two steps toward the old man and stood in front of him.
Elder Victor was taller than him. He pressed his palm on Lan Xiaoyin's head, and a faint green light appeared at the bottom of his palm.
[Ding. Elf Elder [Victor] is using Advanced Disguise on you.]
[Ding. Under the effect of the Advanced Disguise, your appearance has changed.]
Lan Xiaoyin touched his ears and found that the tips of his ears had become round again. He knew that he had become human without looking in the mirror.
[Wow, he gave the streamer plastic surgery!]
[I don't think he looks as good as an elf.]
[I thought the streamer was handsome before, but that was all because of the elf filter.]
Lan Xiaoyin glanced at the comments and was so angry that he almost stomped his feet. Unfortunately, there were two elves staring at him, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Under his detection, the two elves' abilities were unfathomable. Of course, with his level 5, he could see that everyone was unfathomable.
"Thank you, Elder," Lan Xiaoyin said obsequiously.
Elder Victor shook his head. "You're welcome. Now that the elves are on the decline, it is time for us to unite and get through this together."
Then, he seemed to want to send Lan Xiaoyin away.
Lan Xiaoyin was a little anxious. It was not easy to find two elves. Even if they couldn't help him with the main mission, they should at least give him some benefits before letting him go, right?
"Wait, wait."
In the end, it was Uncle Angus who spoke up for him. Lan Xiaoyin couldn't help but praise him for his loyalty!
"Elder, he can sense the Tree of Life," Angus said.
Lan Xiaoyin clearly saw that Elder Victor's originally calm eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at him again with some surprise.
Lan Xiaoyin was puzzled. They were both elves. Was there something wrong with him being able to sense the Tree of Life?
He asked without fear of death.
Angus and Elder Victor looked at each other for a moment before they finally started to explain to him.
It turned out that Lan Xiaoyin was the blue mark of the elves. Although he was a pure-blooded elf, he was born in the human world after the Great Cataclysm a hundred years ago.
This also meant that he had never come into contact with the Tree of Life, so he couldn't go back to his tribe to awaken his bloodline.
Therefore, even if he had the blood of the elves, his lifespan was only a hundred years longer than normal humans. It was even less likely that he could sense the Tree of Life.
This was probably the reason why he was stuck at lvl 5.
It was worth mentioning that Elder Victor was already more than seven hundred years old this year. With such a long lifespan, he was naturally more knowledgeable, more knowledgeable, and richer than normal elves.
This house was the best proof.
At the same time, he was more vigilant against humans. After all, he had experienced too much of the suffering and tragedy of the elves during his time as a slave.
After listening to them, Lan Xiaoyin suddenly understood why the elves were so nervous.
Clearly, in the past few months, even if his disguise failed, it didn't seem to be a big problem for him to be exposed in front of human NPCs … Could it be that they were scared of the humans?
"Then, child, what did you sense?" Elder Victor stared at him and asked.
Lan Xiaoyin felt his scalp tingle.
He could only tell the truth. "I sensed the revival of the Tree of Life, and … the Elven Queen."
"What?"
Elder Victor was surprised at first, but then he looked confused. "The Queen?"
So they didn't know?
Lan Xiaoyin could only brace himself and say, "That's right. After I sensed the revival of the Tree of Life, I appointed a new queen. She is preparing to build a new elf tribe."
Of course, the last sentence was made up by him.
Elder Witcher and Angus looked at each other, and the two elves looked even more confused.
"How did you sense it?"
Finally, Elder Victor couldn't help but ask.
It didn't make sense that he could sense it so clearly! If it weren't for the fact that they could sense it through their bloodline, they would have suspected that it was a spy sent by the humans!
Lan Xiaoyin forced himself to calm down. "In a dream, I saw it in a dream!"
He started to make up stories.
"In my dream, I saw that the Tree of Life was about to die. Then, someone brought an elf girl to the Tree of Life …
"I don't know what happened, but in the end, the Tree of Life became a seed, and that elf girl became the queen, but fell into a coma."
Actually, he wasn't making up stories. He really did see it with his own eyes! He even recorded a video!
"Now that the Tree of Life has revived, the Elven Queen should have woken up too."
Otherwise, why wouldn't she stay in the Imperial City?
"Now, we have to find the Tree of Life as soon as possible and help the queen rebuild the elven tribe!"
The two elves were stunned. Angus clearly didn't believe it. However, Elder Victor frowned and pondered for a moment.
"The dream you saw … might be real."
He looked out the window and said softly, "All these years, we have been trying to return to our tribe. However, many of the people we sent out went missing in the end."
There was a hint of sorrow in his voice.
"However, we have always sensed that our Tree of Life is still alive! She has always been waiting for us to return!
"Because of this hope, we have never given up. We have always wanted to return to her side.
"But recently …"
Elder Victor sighed deeply. "There was a time when I lost my connection with the Tree of Life."
Angus nodded as well. "Yes, including me, all the elders sensed the disappearance of the Mother Tree in the evening."
"Yes, and there is only one possibility."
Elder Victor said sorrowfully. "The Tree of Life … is gone."
Lan Xiaoyin also showed a pained expression. Of course, he was made fun of again by the bullet comments.
However, Elder Victor's expression quickly calmed down, and he said with some relief, "This is our initial guess, but in the past two days, things have changed again."
"We sensed the Tree of Life's aura again, and … she is not far away from us!"
Elder Victor looked at Lan Xiaoyin, his aged face glowing. "After hearing your dream, I finally understand what is going on."
At the critical moment, someone brought a child with royal elven blood to the Tree of Life, allowing the Tree of Life to be reborn with the child's power!
Lan Xiaoyin was still waiting for him to explain what was going on, but Elder Victor had already stopped talking. He looked at Angus and said, "Gather everyone immediately. We need to discuss this matter with everyone."
"Yes, Elder Victor!"
Angus accepted the order, put on his hood again, and left the house.
Lan Xiaoyin was left in the house, and Elder Victor asked him about the specific details of the dream.
He did not hide anything and replied very carefully.
At this time, he truly felt how awesome the AI of the Star Age NPCs were.
It was just that … they were a little stingy.
He answered so many questions until his mouth was dry, but in the end, there was no reward for the mission!
Lan Xiaoyin was very resentful, but there was nothing he could do. He still had to rely on these elves to help him find the Elven Queen.
Just now, the elder's words caught his attention. He said, "She is not far away from us."
What did this mean?
It meant that they could really sense where the Tree of Life was!
Therefore, no matter what, Lan Xiaoyin would not run away. He had to follow them and urge them to leave as soon as possible. Then, before the main mission died, he had to quickly find the Elven Queen and swear his loyalty.
Angus was very efficient.
In addition, after the transportation system of Star Catcher City was reformed, many public transportation vehicles were added. Not only were they faster, but they also saved money, so the flow of people in the main city was several times faster than before.
Lan Xiaoyin watched as all kinds of strange leaves and petals flew into the house, and before they landed, they turned into outstanding looking NPCs.
This was the natural skill of the elves — Plant Transformation.
This skill was quite useful, and it was very stealthy.
However, Lan Xiaoyin could only transform into a whole plant at the moment. If he wanted to transform into small pieces of plant tissue at will like them, he still needed to continue training.
The players who were watching his live broadcast quickly discovered a secret.
[Aren't these NPCs the wood elemental mentors of Star Catcher City?]
[Yes! I remember that chubby one is from the East City Ranch. I even ran errands for him before.]
[They are all elves?]
[Wow, no wonder there are so many wood elementalist NPCs in Star Catcher City!]
In fact, when Lan Xiaoyin was investigating before, he already had some guesses, and now it was confirmed.
The elves should have a good life in the human world.
Then, here came the question …
Did he also have some "ancestral legacy" that he could inherit? Lan Xiaoyin touched his chin and decided that he must find out the background of this Elf.
As the number of people increased, the elves quickly moved to the basement.
Although it was called a basement, the area was very large, almost the size of a large conference hall. It was obvious that this place was often used, and the facilities were very comprehensive.
That night, a total of about 70 to 80 elves gathered, and the remaining 20 or so could not come because of various things.
Lan Xiaoyin overheard that the elves who did not come seemed to have joined the army. Only by joining the army could they have a chance to hide from the eyes and ears of the humans and safely pass through the protective barrier of the five main cities to the wild.
During the meeting, Elder Victor reorganized what Lan Xiaoyin said and then told all the elves present.
The elves were greatly shocked.
After a serious discussion, they finally decided to send people to immediately set off to find the revived Tree of Life.
In fact, most of the elves who accidentally stayed in Roland during the Cataclysm were captured and sold as slaves in the human world. Later, they escaped during the chaos, or were rescued, but were forced to stay because they could not return to their own race.
They began to conceal their identities and lived a life of hiding. Even after the Cataclysm, there were still many scum among the human nobles.
Later on, the slavery system was abolished, and there were fewer people chasing after them. However, the elves did not dare to easily reveal their identities in front of the humans again.
Just like what Elder Victor had said before, for the past 100 years, they had not given up on returning to their own race, and they were always worried about the Mother Tree.
Unfortunately, although the elves were favored by nature, they were not favored by interstellar beasts and mutated plants.
After the Great Beast Tide four years ago, their years of hard work were all in vain, and their population also withered from more than 300 to less than 100.
In recent months, they discovered in despair that … the Mother Tree of Life had withered! It was like the collapse of their faith, and all the elves fell into confusion and grief.
The extinction of the elven race seemed to be set in stone.
But now, hope was rekindled in their hearts!
"We must find the Mother Tree of Life and help the Queen to rebuild the elven tribe!"
"Rebuild the tribe and revive the elven race!"
"Rebuild the tribe and revive the elven race!"
"…"
Lan Xiaoyin could not help but be infected by such an atmosphere. Even in the bullet screen, there were many people cheering for the elves.
Reviving the race and seeking survival in the midst of suffering always resonated.
The elves were very efficient in their actions. They finished their preparations and confirmed the route and plan of action almost on the same night.
Lan Xiaoyin, who was carried along the entire time, could only shout 666 in the bullet screen.
The next morning, the 20-person elven squad set off from Star Catcher City, carrying the hopes of the rest of the elves.
Because there were too many of them, they were afraid of attracting attention, so the elves once again turned into leaves and petals. Lan Xiaoyin, who was not very proficient in plant transformation, took the teleportation array to the Imperial City.
Then, he followed the instructions to the border of the Imperial City and found an elf who was working in the guards.
This elf should have received the news in advance.
He had already found an opportunity for them. That afternoon, he sent them out of the Imperial City and even into the Amos Mountain Range.
Now, the Amos Mountain Range was not what it used to be. Most of the interstellar beasts had been eliminated, so the pressure on the guards was much less. They could also gradually develop the value of this mountain range.
This time, they seemed to have found a very suitable training ground in the Amos Mountain Range. Naturally, the soldiers were close to the water and enjoyed the benefits first.
This soldier played by an elf was also chosen as the first batch of people to train because of his outstanding wood element talent.
When the elves arrived, they almost immediately understood what was going on. They did not need Lan Xiaoyin's urging at all. After entering the forest, they quickly ran like fish swimming into the sea.
Their goal was clear, and their mobility was superb.
The advantages of the forest elves were also displayed incisively and vividly at this moment!
However, the strange thing was that the elves had practically gone through the entire Amos Mountain Range, not missing a single corner. Yet, they still could not find the Tree of Life.
Why?
They clearly felt that the Mother Tree was right beside them!
