The Trial Game of Life

When Celtic preemptively approached the elf guard with anger and questioned why his companion had disappeared, he was actually guilty.

An honest and kind knight, after all, is not good at deceiving people.But as long as he thought that the elves were hiding something from them, he couldn't care less.

The other party's reaction was as Tang Cuo expected, and there must be some surprise, but there seemed to be something else mixed in their downcast expressions.

Celtic repeatedly asked them to find Lancelot, and the other party agreed, but still asked them to return to the team as soon as possible, not to delay the team's departure time, and also asked them not to spread the news to the outside world, so as not to cause panic.

Celtic pretended to agree, and after returning to Tang Cuo, he said: "There must be a problem, we have to be careful."

But anyway, the team started as scheduled.It is led by a male elf whose exact age is unknown but is said to be an elder, equipped with six elf guards.

In addition, the composition of the team is as follows - two from the Ivy League Office in the Principality of France, three from the Little Windmill Office, two from the Montenegro Office, a total of eight scattered human adventurers, one dwarf, one German Rui two.

One of the human adventurers named Dorn had a good conversation with Jin Cheng yesterday, and when he saw that he was not there, he asked a question.Kaierte didn't know how to answer, Tang Cuo said: "He has something to do, so he won't go."

Don scratched his head, then smiled knowingly, "Lancelot is a bard, and it's really not suitable for him to do this kind of task. Then I'm looking forward to his masterpiece, maybe we can hear it when we come back."

It seems that he thought that Jin Cheng's refusal to go was because he was concentrating on composing music, so Tang Cuo simply acquiesced.

Dwarf Hammer muttered aside.He doesn't have much musical talent, and the most pleasing sound to him is the sound of a hammer hitting metal.While muttering, he patted the wine jug hanging from the belt around his waist, and he couldn't help smiling when he heard the sound of the wine shaking.

That sounds good too.

The three people in Little Windmill Harbor completely ignored the situation here, and the three of them got together and ignored others, showing a little arrogance.The Heishan office was silent and solemn, and nodded slightly when meeting Shang Tangcuo's gaze.

Tang Cuo remembered the reactions of these people one by one in his heart, and as the team gradually walked deeper into the forest, his eyes turned to the Wangting in the distance.

Their route bypassed that place.

The deeper you went, the thicker the fog became. In less than an hour, both the tree house and the steeple royal court in the distance disappeared into the thick fog.

The whole forest was quiet, it was daytime, but the forest was very dark.The fog seemed to cover the sun, and all the trees looked dark.

A tense atmosphere quietly flowed in the team.

"Google." Dwarf Hammer untied a wine jug, and drank a big gulp of wine as if no one was there.

A single-eyed man in Little Windmill Harbor smelled the alcohol on his body and walked away in disgust.The human adventurer Dawn couldn't help but stepped forward to negotiate with the elves.

"Your Excellency, may I ask how long it will take for us to arrive?"

"You can call me Elder Evans." The elder said with a gentle attitude, "We probably still need a natural time to reach the edge of the secret lake area. But when we get there, we won't be able to go in. You need to investigate by yourself."

Don nodded. They all understood the content of the mission, and they couldn't back down when they got here.But just to be on the safe side, Dawn asked again: "There's no big danger inside, is there?"

Evans nodded, "Yes, the secret lake was originally the place where our elves were born. But since it was shrouded in mist, my family has gradually lost contact with it, and now it is even more excluded. As a foreigner You don’t have this concern, which is why we broke the rules and invited you here.”

"Elder Evans, is it true that no foreigners have been there before?" The single-eyed man from Little Windmill Harbor also walked over at some point.

"Yes, but there are only three of them in the millennium." Evans smiled, "If you can successfully detect the strangeness of the secret lake and solve this problem for our family, then you will become the closest friends of the elves. The doors of the court will also be open for all of you."

Hearing these few words, Dawn was very excited, and only by clenching his fists quietly could he suppress the turbulence in his heart.What an honor it is to become friends of the elves and enter the royal court, even if they don't get much reward from here, after returning to the human kingdom, their own nobles will invite them to be guests.

At that time, prosperity and wealth will be within your reach.

If any noble lord is willing to teach them the true way of chivalry, their fate, and even the fate of future generations, will be completely changed.

Although the others were not as excited as Dawn, they more or less showed yearning.Only Hammer still poured wine into his mouth. After all, he came here just to brag after returning.

What a simple wish!

The God of Forging will definitely bless him!

Thinking of this, Hamm couldn't help but took another sip of wine.

After Tang Cuo heard the conversation between the two, he immediately made up a lot of brains, such as the one hundred and one ways they died after entering the secret lake area.But what disturbed him the most was the mission panel that hadn't changed in any way.

He remained calm and continued to move forward.

After another hour, the line finally stopped.Everyone looked at the dense fog that seemed to be condensed in front of them, and they couldn't help but feel vigilant.

Evans turned around and said to everyone, "The secret lake area is in front of you. After you enter, go straight north and you will reach the lake in about half an hour. Please forgive us for not being able to walk together, but the God of Nature Will replace us and sprinkle blessings."

Hearing this, the men with single eyelids came out more and more, put one hand on their chest, and returned a noble salute, "Thank you, Elder Evans."

Evans nodded, then stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, "Please enter one by one, and I will bless you all in the name of the God of Nature."

The blessing of the elves.

Tang Cuo couldn't help but put the sword on his waist, thoughtfully.At this time, the single-eyed man was the first to step forward, lowered his head, and let Evans sprinkle the divine light on his head.

That was probably a magic trick.

Tang Cuo could feel the surrounding magical elements converging on Evans' raised hand, and then turning into light spots and falling, but he couldn't judge the specific effect of this magic.

Soon, it was Tang Cuo's turn. He stepped forward generously and bowed his head respectfully.During this process, he noticed that the blessing seemed to have paused for a moment, and when he looked up again, he didn't find any abnormality on Evans' face.

Celtic in front stopped and waited for him. Tang Cuo turned and left naturally in order to avoid showing his flaws.Just before entering the thick fog, he looked back at Evans again.

Evans was also looking at him, his eyes met, Tang Cuo's gaze was far-reaching, while Evans froze for a moment, and then recovered into a deep pool that was difficult to see clearly.

Both sides nodded, as if nothing happened.

At this time, Tang Cuo suddenly had an idea in his mind that the name of this dungeon should not be called "Forest of Elves", but "The Birth of an Actor".

He might have been poisoned by Jin Cheng.

After entering the dense fog, Tang Cuo glanced at the team walking ahead, and immediately pulled Celtic back.He and Celtic came in at the end on purpose, and the purpose was naturally for the convenience of action.

"Kelt, I'll cover you. While everyone is not paying attention, you immediately go back the same way and stare at Evans." Tang Cuo said.

"But I'm gone, so you're the only one left here? No, we've already lost a Lancelot, and we can't let you alone anymore." Celtic sternly refused.

"I'm not the only one here, and I won't be alone. But Celtic, the only one I can really trust is you." Tang Cuo's attitude was tough.

Celtic was still worried, but no matter what he said, Tang Cuo would not let go, "Okay, Celtic, your task is not easier than mine. The temporary separation is for a better reunion."

Celtic had no choice but to compromise, "Well then, Theodore, you must pay attention to safety."

Without further ado, in order to prevent the elves from going away, Tang Cuo immediately covered Celtic to leave.Fortunately, there is thick fog here, and the visibility is only 15 meters around the body. Celtic's departure did not alarm anyone.

After waiting for 3 minutes, Tang Cuo quickly stepped forward and shouted: "Wait, Celtic is gone!"

He didn't act too panicked because it didn't fit his persona.

Hearing his words, the rest of the people turned around one after another, the surprise and seriousness on their faces did not seem to be fake.Don was the first to ask: "What's the matter? Didn't he come in with you?"

Tang Cuo said with a sullen face, "That's right, we were walking together, but I just walked a few steps faster, and when I turned around, I found that he was gone."

Donne frowned deeply, and the other adventurers were also slightly nervous.The two from the Montenegro office were silent all the way, and finally spoke at this moment, "Is there anything else unusual?"

Both of them have black hair and black eyes, which is rare in the Western Fantasy world, and they are twins.

Tang Cuo: "Actually, another of my companions, Lancelot, disappeared early this morning. We reported the matter to the Elf Guards, hoping that they would help find them, but we didn't expect such a thing to happen after entering here .”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.

The man with single eyelids immediately frowned, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Tang Cuo said indifferently, "Because you didn't ask."

"You!" The other party was choked, and at this moment, the dwarf Hammer hiccupped, which made him even more unable to get off the stage, and almost became angry from embarrassment.His companion grabbed him in time, and said in a deep voice, "We are all members of the Ivy League. When something like this happens, you should tell us first."

Tang Cuo raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, and said, "Lancelot is not a member of the alliance, he is just my friend."

The other party was choked again, looking at Tang Cuo with increasingly unkind eyes.The two sides were in a stalemate, and the two from the Montenegro office said: "The quarrel at this time is meaningless."

"We should think of a way first."

The two brothers have exactly the same tone and expression when you say something to me.

The single-eyed man frowned and looked over, "Heimeng, Hess, we are not arguing, don't you see that someone is deliberately concealing it?"

Heimeng & Hess: "No."

Single eyelid & companions: "..."

Tang Cuo could see that the people in the Xiaofengche office were really not very popular.He thought for a while, and said: "It was my mistake that I didn't speak out in time. I can apologize to everyone, but as the two of you said, the most important thing for us now is to find a way."

Heimeng and Hess looked at each other, and then looked at the Druids together, one of them asked: "Druids have been friends of the elves since ancient times, do you two have anything to say?"

Both druids shook their heads, "We are just like you, we are here to help, and we don't know anything else. In fact, although the druids have good friends with the elves, they live in different forests. Today is our first Come here once."

Hearing this, several adventurers expressed obvious concerns.After discussing, everyone decided to find Celtic around here first, and then go to the secret lake.

The result of the search was of course disappointing, and the atmosphere gradually became dignified, but now that they had reached this point, everyone decided to move on after hesitation.

The further you go, the thicker the fog, and the visibility gradually decreases from 15 meters around you to 10 meters.In order to prevent anyone from disappearing, everyone approached consciously. After [-] minutes, no one disappeared, but they did not see any trace of the secret lake.

"The elf elder said that after coming in, it will take about half a natural hour to reach the secret lake, but now we have left for almost half an natural hour." Donne said in a serious tone.

"Go further." Tang Cuo said.

The group set off again, and after another 10 minutes, they still didn't see any shadow of the lake.

Single-eyed man: "Are we going the wrong way?"

The druid shook his head, "No, it's impossible for a druid to get lost in the forest. The direction we're going is indeed heading north."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but have a terrible guess in their hearts, that is, the elves gave wrong information.But why would they do this?

Just when everyone was wondering, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

"Who?!" Don immediately drew his sword.

"It's me!" The slightly familiar voice made Tang Cuo frown, and he stared.In the dense fog, the figure running fast gradually became clear, and it was Celtic who had already left.

Panting from running, he wiped off his sweat and explained: "Sorry, I accidentally got lost just now and went in the opposite direction, and it was hard to catch up."

Although everyone still had doubts in their hearts, they were relieved to see him come back.Tang Cuo was frowning, waiting for Celtic to return

Beside him, he lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?"

Celtic: "The elves were gone when I went out. I couldn't find anyone no matter how hard I searched. I have no choice but to come back and look for you."

Tang Cuo looked at him and said nothing.

He reopened the task panel.
