Another Life: Elf Archer

At this time, Nian Nian's mind was still a mess.

The shock of Yu Tao's death gave her, the anger of being deceived and sneak-attacked, the hatred and condemnation of herself, and even some of the joy and excitement that had just been aroused.

Every emotion is so strong that it crowds calmness and reason into a corner.

Although she struggled to recapture these calm and rational parts, they kept trying to slip from her hands—like trying to catch a live fish with its tail fin flapping with her bare hands.

Simil looked at Nian Nian, who was a little dull. There were tears on her face. She didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or fear. She was a little shivering, but she was trying to look indifferent.

It had only been a dozen hours since they last met, and the lively girl at that time had completely changed.

It would be nice if I didn't release her from the mission when I left Taibai Town and let her follow me all the time.

Such a thought flashed through Simil's mind, but was immediately thrown out of his mind.

He looked at Zimo who was deliberately irritating Nian Nian, sighed again, and said something fair: "Originally, this barrier was meant to be broken. No matter whether the Nine-Colored Immortal Deer is rescued by Nian Nian or killed by you, the result will be Boundaries will be broken, you already knew that.”

Zimo glanced at Simir boredly and heard Simir continue:

"And as long as this barrier is broken, Yu Tao's body, which is attached to the cliffs around the valley, will be affected or even seriously injured. They should also attack you every year, so you are not too unfair. "

Zimo frowned slightly, but didn't say anything else. He whistled at Nian Nian and then turned around and left.

Seeing Zimo walking further and further away, Simil finally breathed a sigh of relief.Although Zimo did not express his position, he should not take the initiative to conflict with Nian Nian for the time being, so...

Simil looked at Nian Nian and sighed silently in his heart. If he hadn't been a little curious about this person, he wouldn't have publicly identified himself in front of others, nor would he have the patience to be the peacemaker he is now.

"You..." Simil considered his question, but finally gave up, "Just take a break and calm down, and then we can talk again."

Nian Nian looked at him quietly for a while, nodded silently, and looked around blankly until——

"Niannian, are you okay?" Qinghua and Poria came running from a distance, and six unfamiliar players appeared with them at the same time.

However, unlike Qinghua Poria, who went straight to Nian Nian, the six people quickly walked towards Zimo who was talking to his brothers.

Seeing the two sisters, Nian Nian seemed to suddenly remember something. He suddenly turned around and ran to a bush. He squatted on the ground and helped up a little girl who seemed to be in a coma.

This little girl is naturally Xiao Qing, but it is no longer appropriate to describe her as a little girl, because Xiao Qing is already a girl at this time.

Looking at Xiao Qing who suddenly grew up again, Nian Nian's fingers curled up again, and he dug his fingertips hard into his palm.

Qinghua and Fuling, who had already stood behind Nian Nian, looked at each other, and then looked for help at Simil, who was following closely. The two of them really didn't know what was going on. Looking at Nian Nian like this, they were obviously in trouble. It's a big deal, but they are also afraid that if they fail to console them, they will make Nian Nian feel disgusted.

Simil looked at Xiaoqing, who had changed again, and guessed a lot about Nian Nian's inner thoughts at this time, but he also knew that it was useless what others said at this time, and he could only wait for her. Figure it out yourself.

Simil shook his head and left. After a while, Nian Nian stood up, looked at Qinghua Fuling and Qinghua Fuling with worried faces, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"I'm fine, Xiaoqing, please take care of me. I... I want to be alone for a while."

After saying that, Nian Nian turned around and walked towards the depths of the valley, as if he didn't care whether Qinghua and Fuling would agree to take care of Xiao Qing.

Deep in the valley, hundreds of flowers were blooming, and there was a breeze blowing. At this time, there was another thin and staggering figure, which became increasingly blurry as it walked further and further away.

——————————————————————————

Chang'an City.

Helen was still living in the original inn. At this time, she was looking through a pile of documents in her hand, and from time to time she picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip.

"Dong dong dong."

"Please come in."

Helen looked at Scott who walked in, frowned dissatisfied, and asked, "Why are you back so soon?"

They have been staying in Chang'an City for several days. Although it has been basically confirmed that the mercenary group will be stationed in Chang'an City in China, they cannot ignore the management of several other populous cities.

And she just asked Scott this morning to investigate the player forces in several other big cities, such as Luoyang, Yunmengze, Jinyang, etc., and then hand them over to her after summarizing and confirming.

Whether it is sorting out existing information or contacting and asking a large number of players, the only place where Scott can obtain this information is in the Tongtian Tower where people come and go.

He originally asked Helen for two full days to complete this task, but it was only a few hours ago. Could it be that he encountered some problem?

"I just heard some news. I thought I should tell you as soon as possible, but I was afraid that I couldn't explain it clearly with the news, so I rushed back right away." Scott's tone was a little excited, but it didn't sound like he was in any trouble.

Hearing this, Helen waved her hand and protected the entire room with wind magic to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

"Just now, a few people suddenly came to the Tongtian Tower. They told everyone that there was an artifact appearing in the world, and it was still an unbound artifact. You might as well gather everyone to have a look. You can also challenge the holder of the artifact by the way. Don't let the artifact be in the hands of the weak. Dust on your hands and stuff like that.”

"Tell me the important point." Helen interrupted Scott's narration with some lack of patience.

"The Elf player we met before had Moon Spirit Wood in her hand! Her bow was made of Moon Spirit Wood!" Scott felt it was a pity when he mentioned this matter. If he could have seen the bow at that time, How nice it would be to be special.

"Who are the people who spread the news? Is the news reliable?" Helen's breath suffocated for a moment when she heard the news, but she calmed down immediately.

"They have been talking about this with other players. It is said that they originally cooperated with the elf archer to complete a certain mission, but they did not expect that the elf not only snatched their mission supplies at the last moment, but also suddenly attacked them. Most of them came back dead."

"Hmph, it does sound like something that the elves can do!" Helen's tone was contemptuous, she played with the teacup in her hand casually, looked at Scott who was standing respectfully in front of her, and asked again :

“How did other people react when they heard the news?”

"Basically, they were all doubtful, but they all said that they must discuss with this elf if they have the opportunity, especially," Scott frowned, "At that time, there were several people from the continent of Gaia like us. They all I was very excited. I asked those people for a lot of details, and it seemed that I was already planning to leave to find the elf."

"Looking for? Where is that elf now?"

"In the Qinling Mountains, those people refused to say where exactly they were. It seems that their mission has not yet ended, so they are unwilling to disclose more details."

"Qinling?" Helen already knew that this place was a famous and dangerous large-scale "leveling area" in China, so she lightly commented on those who planned to set off to find Nian Nian, "Looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Then we...?" Scott asked Helen, his enthusiasm for the artifact could not be concealed on his face.

"Help those people spread the news further, especially our compatriots - everyone from the Gaia continent. Players here in China may not have any idea about the Moon Spirit Wood, but I believe Everyone in Gaia is well aware of the value of the Moon Spirit Wood."

"Would this be too confusing?" Scott was worried that he would hide away every year. "There are too many people taking action, and we can't guarantee that we will get the bow."

"We are not going to take action against her," Helen smiled gracefully. "We want help. We want to protect her in the chaos, help her get rid of those people, and make her grateful to us."

Seeing the confusion on Scott's face, Helen's smile became even gentler: "What I want is not the small piece of moon spirit wood in her hand - even if she keeps the bow, that's fine - What I want is her method, or approach, to obtain the Moon Spirit Wood."

"Although we all know how powerful and precious the Moon Spirit Wood is, and we also know that it comes from the elven territory of Jaces, but in fact the only ones who actually own the Moon Spirit Wood are the old mages in our Temple Academy, that is, NPCs. "Helen leaned back slightly, looked at Scott and continued, "So how did the elf get the Moon Spirit Wood? Aren't you curious about this question?"

------------------------

When Xiao Qing woke up, it was already dusk that day. Nian Nian disappeared without a trace. Zi Mo's people were still repairing things in place. They did not embarrass Qing Hua and Poria, and even helped resettle the unconscious Xiao Qing.

Although Simil was a little anxious, he did not urge Zimo to lead people to chase the Nine Colored Immortal Deer as soon as possible. Instead, he looked at the sky and planned to look for Nian Nian who was hiding somewhere.

After walking around in the valley and looking in the direction of the Tree of Life and Death by the Lake of Tears, Simil shook his head and turned his attention to a few lonely huts standing in a sea of ​​flowers.

Sure enough, he saw Nian Nian huddled in the corner in one of them.

Looking at the furnishings and decorations in this small room, and then carefully looking at the nine-petal lotus pattern, Simil looked at Nian Nian who seemed to be blind. After a moment of hesitation, he walked to her side and sat down against the wall. , asked with half a meter between them:

"Is this Yu Tao's residence?"

Nian Nian didn't look at him, just shook his head silently.

Simil couldn't tell whether Nian Nian wanted to say that this was not Yu Tao's residence, or whether he simply wanted to say that he didn't know, but it wasn't an important matter.

"You must have a lot of guesses about Yu Tao and this valley, right?"

Just when Simir thought that Nian Nian would never respond to him, Nian Nian said softly: "I don't want to guess anymore."

Simil turned to look at her, but Niannian raised his head, gently leaning the back of his head on the corner, looking at the stars-like flashes on the top of the hut.

"Since entering this valley, we have been guessing, guessing where this place is, guessing what this barrier is used for, guessing Yu Tao's intentions, guessing the whereabouts of those little flower demons, guessing the purpose of the Nine-Colored Immortal Deer identity."

"Obviously they are just speculations, but why in the end did we regard these speculations as the truth and believe them deeply."

"I sorted through everything we did and thought after entering this valley, and found that it can be summed up in just four words,"

Every year I laugh sarcastically at myself,

"opinionated."
