"Damn, is it really here?"
Lan Xiaoyin had been following the elves around the Asmo Mountains for two days. He had searched every nook and cranny possible, but he had not found anything.
The most torturous thing was —
[Please find the Elven Queen and swear allegiance to her as soon as possible. Otherwise, the main mission will be judged as a failure.]
This was the third time the system had reminded him.
Lan Xiaoyin had a feeling that the next time it would be judged as a failure!
Damn it, why did it have to do this to him?
Lan Xiaoyin sat on a rock dejectedly. The elves around him were also very depressed.
"I am one hundred percent sure that the Mother Tree is in this mountain range!"
The female elf sitting beside Lan Xiaoyin said faintly, "But why can't we find her?"
Apart from Lan Xiaoyin, the rest of the 20-person elves had come from the elven territory and had undergone bloodline awakening.
This female elf was called Miriya. She was the oldest elf sent out, slightly older than Angus. She was also the strongest, so she was naturally the most sensitive to the Tree of Life.
However, she could not find the Tree of Life. She could not help but doubt herself.
"It can't be wrong."
After a while, Miriya said firmly, "The high concentration of elements in this place definitely has something to do with the Mother Tree."
"The Mother Tree must be near us. Someone must have hidden her. That's why we can't find her!"
"Could it be in that trial ground?"
At this moment, another elf voiced his opinion. "Right now, in the entire Asmo Mountain Range, there's only that trial ground that we haven't explored yet."
The trial ground in the Asmo Mountains had been heavily guarded by Roland's garrison when they were clearing out the galactic beasts. Lan Xiaoyin had seen the strategy guide and knew that they had to pass through a maze to enter.
Moreover, this trial was very troublesome.
He heard that at the very beginning, more than a dozen NPC squads had died. It was very dangerous, so he stopped the elves from entering.
Moreover, he did not think that the Tree of Life would be there.
"The Queen must be with the Mother Tree. Why would she put the Mother Tree in such a dangerous trial?"
Lan Xiaoyin retorted.
Originally, as the youngest existence, he had no right to speak here, but who told him to be a lawless player?
"Could it be the work of humans?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an elf with a resentful expression said, "They imprisoned the queen and hid the Tree of Life in the trial grounds!"
The elves in this small team were all born in the elven territory. This also meant that they must have encountered many twists and turns and tribulations before coming to the human world. It was inevitable that they would be biased against humans.
Lan Xiaoyin remained silent.
He felt that these elves were all suffering from persecutory delusions, but when he thought about what had happened to them, he felt that he could understand their feelings.
He thought for a moment and said, "I think you … we should let go of our hostility and prejudice against humans. Times are different now. The new Emperor of Roland seems to be a kind and capable monarch."
"You don't have to think so badly of humans …"
[That's right, that's right. Her Majesty Xiao Luo is obviously super good!]
[That's right. If it wasn't for him and Marshal Si Sheng, we wouldn't have won so easily.]
[Previously, it was also because of Her Majesty Xiao Luo's Balancing Card that prevented so many NPCs from dying!]
[That's right. Her Majesty Xiao Luo even gave us land!]
Needless to say, many of the players in the live broadcast channel had become Roland's loyal fans. As the most popular character in the Star Age, Snow Roland was also loved and respected by the players.
Even Lan Xiaoyin had a good impression of this emperor, even though he had been mercilessly imprisoned by him.
This was probably a special feeling that the players had toward faction leaders, especially when this leader was especially awesome and generous.
The elves looked at each other and didn't express any opinion on Lan Xiaoyin's words. However, it was unlikely that they would change their views in a short time.
"You don't understand."
The elf who spoke earlier said.
He was referring to the fact that Lan Xiaoyin was born in the human world and didn't experience what they had experienced.
Don't persuade others to do good without experiencing their hardships.
Lan Xiaoyin still understood this principle, but …
"Do you all want to continue living in hiding like this?" he asked with a frown.
After interacting with the elven NPCs for the past few days, Lan Xiaoyin's impression of the elves had been overturned, especially the method they used to sneak out of the Royal City.
They were so skillful that it made him feel sad.
However, Lan Xiaoyin was a player at the end of the day, and a young man at that.
He felt that the elves, who were so cautious, like birds that were startled by the twang of a bow, were a little uncool.
He could work hard for the revival of the elves, and even endure the pain of not being able to level up, but …
If he had to live like this, then he wouldn't be happy. What was the difference between this and the smelly rats in the sewers?
Shouldn't the elves be synonymous with power, beauty, and nobility?
"Everyone has lived in Roland for so many years. Personally, the humans I've come into contact with are very friendly. In order to survive on this planet, they are also working hard like us."
"We can totally cooperate with them …"
"Lan Xiaoyin," Miriya interrupted him. Miriya interrupted him. "The friendliness you feel is because you have been pretending to be a human all this time."
"In their eyes, you are of the same race, so they treat you with sincerity."
"Once they know that you are of a different race, they will mercilessly wave their butcher's knife, capture you, and present you to the nobles."
Her tone was very calm, and there was numbness in her green eyes. That was the vicissitudes of life that could only be stained by those who had been baptized by the merciless passage of time.
"I know you want to say that the slavery system has been abolished," Miriya continued.
"But don't forget, the abolition of this system is only to protect the humans. Without the dirty slave market, are there no other forms of transactions?"
"Now, the Roland Empire is indeed developing in a good direction. It is becoming stronger again, but the more it is so, the more we are afraid."
Miriya looked up in the direction of Roland's Royal City.
"You have never seen how it was when it was the strongest country. To the humans, it was glory and glory, but to the other races … it was a disaster!"
The other elves also showed fear on their faces because they were immersed in their memories.
Did they not want to live in this world with dignity? The Elves were once a noble and benevolent race. They had once pitied the short-lived humans, but they had paid a terrible price for it.
And after the catastrophe that almost wiped out their race a hundred years ago, the elves could no longer afford to take the risk!
A mere hundred elves were all of their race. In the face of the survival of their race, they could no longer take the risk, let alone listen to the opinion of a young elf.
Lan Xiaoyin, who had failed in his verbal attack, fell silent.
He looked at Miriya who was calmly narrating. Although she did not explain in detail, he could already imagine the oppression of the other races by the humans who were once powerful.
After all, not all humans were rabbits. Some liked to play around, but …
He really felt that the current Roland was not so bad. There was no need for the elves to be conservative!
The faraway Royal Palace of Roland.
In the Emperor's bedroom.
Xu Sili looked at the image on the screen and listened to the elves. He could not help but fall into deep thought.
The Asmo Mountain Range was such an important place. Not only did it have the Tree of Life, but it also had the trial ground. How could he not have planted spies to monitor it closely?
In fact, when the elves entered the Asmo Mountain Range, they were already watched by the surveillance bees. All of their actions in the mountain range were recorded.
Moreover, the communication device that Lan Xiaoyin used was within Xiao Wu's surveillance range at all times.
Of course, Xu Sili did not know about them at first. Xiao Wu was not that free either. Before Lan Xiaoyin triggered the alarm, it basically did not pay attention to him.
It was only when they mentioned the Tree of Life that Xiao Wu reported to Xu Sili.
Although he knew that these people were Ah Sheng's race, Xu Sili was not in a hurry to pick them up in order to test the defenses that he had set up at the entrance of the canyon and the surrounding area.
Cha Mo had asked him about the elven players wanting to see Ah Sheng, but he temporarily suppressed it.
It was under such circumstances that the test results were the most realistic!
The final test results also made Xu Sili very satisfied. This small group of elves did not even trigger the Elf Canyon's defenses. They just kept wandering around the Asmo Mountain Range.
In fact, the entrance of the canyon was only a dozen meters away from where they were resting. However, the elves did not notice this at all. They were still troubled by the fact that they could not find traces of the Mother Tree. There was even a debate between the old and the new.
This was probably the so-called "so close yet so far".
Xu Sili did not expect to hear such a conversation.
The elf that spoke up for him was obviously a player. Xu Sili also happened to remember him. He seemed to be called something like Blue Mark.
Seeing that he was so firm in his stance, Xu Sili decided that if he performed well in the future, perhaps he could let him see Ah Sheng.
As for the other elves …
He originally welcomed them very much, but now it seemed that the elves had quite a bit of prejudice against humans.
Of course, some of what they said made sense.
There was definitely no lack of scum among the humans, especially since there were nobles in Roland. Even if they did not have any real power, in many cases, wealth was also a kind of power.
Now that life in Roland was getting better and better, and there was no threat of interstellar beasts around, it would soon welcome rapid development.
Some corrupting phenomena would probably develop as well.
Perhaps, in addition to monitoring the behavior of the players, the upper echelons of the Empire could not be let off either.
When the water was too clear, there would be no fish.
Xu Sili understood this principle, but there were some bottom lines that could not be tolerated. After all, the Empire that he worked so hard to build was not for some scum to do whatever they wanted.
Xu Sili thought. He looked at the elves on the screen again, but he did not have any intention of persuading them.
Their experience was pitiful, but it was the Old Empire that persecuted the other races. What did it have to do with him? If they could not see the situation clearly, they were not qualified to join his camp.
However, in the end, they were still from the same race as Ah Sheng …
Xu Sili thought about it and sent a message to Ah Sheng to tell her about this.
Little Ash was still taking care of the Tree of Life in the canyon, and he was also remodeling the canyon. He had already given that place to the elf tribe and named it "Elf Canyon".
Of course, she was the only elf in Elf Canyon now.
Not long after the message was sent, Xu Sili received a reply.
Ah Sheng: [They don't like Big Brother His Majesty, so I don't like them either.]
Ah Sheng: [Big Brother His Majesty, when is Big Brother Xiao Qiong coming back? I miss him so much.]
Xu Sili smiled.
Xiao Qiong and Aunt Vir … seemed to be on their way to the last stop.
On the Starry Sky.
In the control room, Vir was saying goodbye to the person on the other side of the screen.
"His Majesty Anta, let's catch up when we arrive at Planet Sgeta tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for your arrival."
After the call ended, Vir finally let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, Xiao Qiong, who had been quiet all this time, finally spoke, "Mom, this Emperor of Sgeta looks a lot like us."
Xiao Qiong had been out for more than a month, and he had seen a lot of aliens. Most of them had completely different appearances from humans. Some were strange and scary, while others were very cute.
Although he had not been out for long, Xiao Qiong had undoubtedly learned a lot.
"Yes."
Vir nodded with a smile. "The people of Sgeta also have the appearance of humans. They are a very friendly race."
Although Sgeta was only a small country, it was very rich. This was because the local area was rich in a type of mineral that was one of the essential materials for making space items.
She remembered that Sgeta was as poor as Roland in the past.
It was because during her visit to Skarta Star, she discovered this mineral and used her powerful connections to connect the people of Skarta Star, which allowed Skarta Star to open the path of prosperity and power.
Because of this good karma, even after so many years, Vir still received a very friendly reception when she contacted the royal family of Sgeta.
If this went well, she should be able to provide a stable supply of materials for Roland's teleportation device and establish the first trade channel.
Of course, at this time, she would never have thought that there was a person who was originally from Roland on Planet Sgeta who was living in an abyss of suffering every day.
