Chapter 193 Communication

After the assignment, everyone started to act independently. Radamantis was taken by Jinshan Yinhai to scare people. Jinqian and Zhenhong brought us a large group of people and a group of guides under Jinshan Yinhai, and then entered the rainforest to start clearing out the more dangerous monsters and NPC forces near the city construction site. As for Kris Dena and I, of course, took Polesephone to find the elves to take on the mission as agreed in advance. Of course, it was not possible for the three of us to go alone. Although we were the same guild as Jinshan Yinhai, the people from the Elf Tribe did not know us after all, so it was impossible to go like this.

In order to facilitate communication, Jinshan and Yinhai equipped us with two guides. Both of them are members of our Frost Rose Alliance, but neither of them are Chinese. One of them is older, but he is a Chinese. His ancestors came to the United States during the development of the United States. Now the younger generation at home can't even speak Chinese, but he speaks Chinese very well, and he is also a Chinese expert. He also joined our Frost Rose Alliance, a guild mainly Chinese in the game.

In addition to this Chinese, another guide is a native native. Although he should be a brown person, I think he is a black man. At least in my opinion, this guy is almost the same as a coal ball.

Because of the special environment in South America, outsiders are almost unable to move without a guide, so there are a large number of professional guides in various forces here. Although these people have joined various guilds, they are actually different from those real guild members. They are more like workers who join a company, and their sense of belonging is not as good as real members. Moreover, they join in just to get more salary, and they don’t really want to join the guild organization.

"Hello, my name is Coal Flag. This time I am your jungle guide." The South American guy immediately introduced himself after Jinshan and Yinhai, and his name almost made us laugh. Although this guy is even darker than most black people, it is too exaggerated to name Coal Flag.

As soon as Coal Ball finished speaking, the Chinese next to him said, "Don't be surprised, our guild mainly receives guests from China, so the guides have Chinese names. This is just for everyone to call them, and our system name is not like this. My name is Nanbei, not the game name, just a name. This is just a name. I and Coal Ball are your guides in this mission, but our division of labor is different. Coal Ball is a wayfinding guide, who leads everyone in the wild. I am a task guide, responsible for communicating with NPCs. If you encounter any problems during the mission, you can ask me. I know most of the common sense task information nearby."

I nodded and said, "Do you all know the content of the mission?"

Coal Ball nodded and said, "The Sea of ​​Gold and Silver has already told us that you just need to send you to the Elf Tribe."

I nodded and said, "Then let's go quickly."

"OK."

Because before we came here, Jinshan and Yinhai knew that we would definitely go to the Elf Tribe in the end. Whether we were going to rob or take on the mission, we would definitely not be able to save this trip, so the guide had already prepared it and even the supplies were ready. When I heard that I was going to set off, the coal ball immediately took out a cloth bag from his body, and then pulled out a string of bottles and distributed it to us.

Kris Dena took a string of bottles strung together with straw ropes in confusion, and found that the bottles were filled with mess. Some bottles were liquid, some were powder, some were stones or unknown semi-liquid objects, and even several bottles were sealed with some living bugs.

"What's this?" Kris Dena asked as she looked at the bugs crawling around in the bottle.

After handing the briquettes, they carried a string of bottles and pointed at us one by one to explain. "These are the most commonly used things in the jungle. This black bottle contains the feces of swamp dragons."

"What?" When Kris Dena heard the coal ball introduce the black bottle, she put her eyes up and looked inside hard. When she heard that it was feces, she almost threw the bottle out.

The coal ball doesn't care about Clis Dena's reaction at all. It is estimated that he has seen many people who react like this. "Don't underestimate this thing. The swamp dragon is a high-level monster in the tropical rainforest, and because the swamp dragons live in groups, it produces the same effect as a honeycomb. No matter how strong the magic beast is, it doesn't want to offend the swamp dragon, otherwise it will accidentally attract a group of people, and even the lonely dragons will flee in a panic. Therefore, if we want to rest in the forest, we can use this thing to define a range, and then other creatures dare not get close. But one thing to note is that our place is called the rainforest. This rainfall is very heavy, and there will be one or two rains almost every day, so the feces sprinkled on the ground can only last until it rains. Once it rains, be careful because the feces will lose their effect."

"The other bottles are not full of feces, right?" asked Kris Dena.

Coal ball shook his head and said, "Of course not." As he said, he pointed to a bottle full of green gel and said, "This is a paste made of leaves from the Invincible Tree. If you encounter a high-level monster, you can throw this at the monster, or simply apply it to yourself, and the monster will not attack you again."

When I heard this, I immediately looked at the bottle in surprise and asked, "Is this tree as powerful as the man-eating tree?"

"No."

Kris Dena asked in confusion: "If it is not, then why is the Warcraft so afraid of the juice of this tree?"

"This is because the juice of the Invincible Tree is extremely odorous and has a strong adhesion. It is useless to wash it after being stained. After three or five days, it will naturally oxidize and lose its smell. The nose of the monster is much stronger than ours, so they can't stand this smell. Just a little bit of it can smoke them away. If you are attacked by advanced monsters and find that you can't run away, apply it to yourself. At that time, the monsters will feel disgusting when they smell the smell on your body, and they will definitely not dare to touch you anymore."

"Then what... please ask, is there anything here that deals with Warcraft?" I tried to explain: "We are different from the ordinary tourists you brought. When Warcraft sees us, it should be the Warcraft that escapes. We can't use any of you!"

When Coal Ball heard my words, he quickly slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot this. You are all big men, very powerful, you don't have to be afraid of monsters. Then I'll introduce something that is useful to you." He said, and then turned out a glass bottle from the rope and said, "Did you see the bugs here? This beautiful little bug is not aggressive, but they have a strong sense of direction. If you accidentally get separated from our two guides and can't find the way back, then just let it go. The bug will fly back from the city by itself, and you can find the way back as long as you follow it. But one thing you need to pay attention to is that this little thing is flying very fast, and once you run away, you will definitely not be able to catch up. So we strung a thread around the neck of this little guy, and the thread tip is outside the bottle. Just tie the thread tip to your body before opening the bottle. Just don't let it fly away."

"This is quite practical," said Kris Dyna.

"There is also a very practical bug," said the coal ball pointing to another bottle. The bottle is densely filled with a fat white bug that looks like a mulberry silkworm. The bug is white and has no spots, and looks a little cute. Of course, it is quite cute just to look at it, but it is not cute if the bottle is squeezed together. It looks a little numb. The coal ball is not afraid at all, so it opens the bottle and grabs a bug and says, "This is a greedy bug. You can grab it directly with your hands, without any danger. If you need food in the forest, but don't know it, you can use this bug to experiment with it. Put the bug on what you want to eat. As long as it eats this thing, you can eat it. If it doesn't eat this thing, don't eat it. This bug can distinguish food. If people can eat it, it must be a problem."

"So it's an automatic food detector! What's in other bottles?"

"Most of it are not available to you, but these may be useful. The red one is deworming powder, this is an antidote agent, this is a plant juice that covers up your body odor, and it can be used close to some timid creatures. Also, this is a potion for water purification, this is a special pigment for marking, this is a special plasma that attracts carnivorous monsters, this is a fragrant fruit that attracts herbivores, and this is a desiccant. People from other places may not like the humid environment here. Put a little of this desiccant in this small bag and carry it close to you. It will be dry. But it will be replaced every two hours, otherwise it will fail."

"We can't use that thing," asked Kris Dena. "What else is there to be useful?"

"It's just that. Most of these things are used to save lives for ordinary tourists. When you arrive here, you are almost at the top of the food chain. I think those monsters need these things more than you, so you can't use them. In addition, I have some special medicine powders that are more targeted here, but this type is quite large and the probability of using them is not high. You don't need to bring them, just have them here."

"Okay, let's go quickly when things are ready."

"Okay, come with me."

That small elf tribe is not too far from the city where we are, but because the road is not easy to walk on, the road was a little delayed. In fact, the main problem is that the guides did not communicate well with us. If you know the specific location here, fly directly from the air, find the approximate location and then airborne it will be OK. Although the monster area in the game is an extremely dangerous area, this is not a problem for us.

When we arrived at the periphery of the Elf Tribe, we encountered the other party's patrol team. The elves had a very strong sense of defense, so we were discovered just as soon as we approached the periphery of the Elf Activity Zone. Of course, we did not deliberately hide, but came over to the main road.

"Hey, it's you." We were walking well on the road, and suddenly we saw two elves jumping off the tree, but neither of them showed any intention of fighting, and they started chatting with Nanbei.

Nanbei just chatted with the other party for a few simple words, and then gave us a few to the front and introduced: "These are senior leaders of our guild. This time I brought them to find your patriarch. Don't you know the patriarch is here now?"

One of the older elves said, "We have been out for a while. I don't know whether the patriarch is here or not. You should go to the tribe to ask again."

"Okay, then let's go first." After saying hello to the other party, Nanbei took us forward, and the other party quickly jumped onto the big tree and fell, and disappeared. The elves were called the son of nature, and in the forest, they were simply fish in the water and birds in the sky. They were not necessarily fighting, and their movement and hiding abilities were absolutely first-class.

I don’t know if the patrol team in front had contacted us in some way after discovering us. Anyway, we have never encountered a new patrol team since then. And there were several times when I obviously felt that an elves passed by us and did not come out to stop us.

After walking for a while, we finally saw the elf tribe mentioned by Jinshan Yinhai. Although Jinshan Yinhai had always emphasized that this elf tribe was a very small tribe, it was not until we saw it that it was not as small as we imagined.

The area of ​​this tribe is at least tens of thousands of square meters, and there are no walls or fences on the periphery. There are few such defensive facilities in the elves. Generally, only elves leaving the forest or elves capital will consider building defensive facilities such as city walls. Generally, elves are open-ended, just like the commercial cities built by players. There are no walls and no so-called gates.

As we gradually approached the elves tribe, the plants around us began to change significantly. The plants nearby were obviously much taller than what we saw before, and the plants were closely connected, and they did not feel as sparse as before. In addition, the types of plants in this area seemed to be somewhat different from the surrounding plants. First of all, the shrubs in the elves tribe were not as many as in the normal rainforest, and they only existed in some shrubs that played a decorative role, and did not have the dense state of the normal rainforest.

In addition to the sparse bushes, the large tree species in the Elf Tribe have also changed significantly. Although the trees in the Elf Tribe are still as tall and tall as the surrounding plants, there are many horizontal branches here, and horizontal branches often entangle between trees, thus forming channels like a single-plank bridge above the trunk.

Almost all the houses of the elves are built on these stretched branches. The trunk of the big tree behind them is used as a wall, and then the stretched branches are used as the foundation to form several walls with some rattan and wood, thus forming a tree house.

Although the buildings here are all built on trees, after seeing these tree houses here, I can understand a little why Jinshan and Yinhai said that this is just a small elves tribe.

Actually, I have seen a real elves city before. It is a systematic city with a very large scale. The elves buildings in that elves city are also built on big trees, but they are very different from the buildings of the tribe in front of me.

In a real elves city, the houses of the elves are not what we think of as wooden houses, but houses that grow on the trunks. Although the tree houses they live in are made of wood, those woods are part of the trunk or branches of the tree that builds the tree houses. These branches and trunks are not cut down and spliced ​​into the shape of a house, but some hollows grow inside the trunk or branches, and then a structure similar to a room is formed. Moreover, the houses in the elves city are not all on the trees. Some particularly giant trees begin to have houses at the roots. After entering these houses, you will find that there are spiraling upward steps inside the trunks, and you can walk from inside to the house on the branches above.

This kind of houses grow on the trunk is the real building of the elves city. Although the building of the elves tribe in front of me is also a tree house, it is actually better to say it is a human tree house than to say it is an elf tree house, because the houses on the trunk here are made of cut down wood, which is no different from the wooden houses built by humans. I have to say that there is something different, maybe the construction location is a little strange. But in essence, these tree houses are still the style of human architecture, not the real elf style.

In fact, the elves rarely cut down trees. All plants they need to use are born with life magic. The small tribe in front of them is too small, so without a high-level elves mage, it is naturally impossible to give birth to that kind of tree house.

In fact, in addition to the tree house problem, this elf tribe has another more serious problem, that is, there is no most important tree of life and magic spring in the elves.

The Tree of Life is something that every elves must have. If there is no Tree of Life, it will become a very down-and-out state like the tribe in front of you, almost like the Wanderer tribe. Because there is no Tree of Life, the plants around it cannot grow tall enough. In this way, building enough tree houses will become an impossible task, so the scale of this tribe cannot be expanded. The problem of not having a Magic Spring is even worse. Because there is no Magic Spring, the output of the mage is very low and the level cannot be increased. The result of this is that the tribe is low in strength and does not have enough combat power to deal with the invaders, so safety cannot be guaranteed.

It can be said that the elf tribe in front of me is a slum-like elves tribe. Their internal living environment is very bad. If it weren't for the elves being called the son of nature and not having to worry about food and clothing in the forest, they might not be able to live.

I was observing this elf tribe, and suddenly I heard Nanbei stop a passing elf asking about the tribe leader. As a guide who is responsible for communication, Nannan must have a high affinity attribute. Moreover, because I had specially gained favorability before, the elves here are very enthusiastic about us. When Nannan asked, the elf immediately pointed to a big tree not far behind and said, "The clan leader is there to receive guests from foreign tribes, you can go and look for it."

"Thank you very much." After thanking the elf, Nanbei waved us to follow him.

After walking to the big tree that was not far away, we circled around and turned to the other side, and then we saw a tree hole located on the trunk. The height of this tree hole is about 1.6 meters high, although it is not very small, but with the average height of the elves of 1.7 meters high, this height is obviously a little short.

At this time, there were two elves and two creatures standing on both sides of the tree hole. The two elves were nothing special, but the two creatures looked more personal. Overall, these two creatures were both human-shaped, but one of the heads was at least round, like a big light bulb. It felt like the diameter of his head was at least more than twice the diameter of his waist, and even his shoulders were not as wide as his head.

Although he was so big, the creature's hands and feet were short and thin, only about two-thirds of that of a human being, and his body was also very short. Although he looked a little more than 1.6 meters on the ground, at least half of the height was the head, and the remaining half was the length of his body and legs.

In addition to his head, this creature has a very strange feature, that is, his body is smooth and as if it is coated with oil, and it has a little glitter. Moreover, his skin color is that light blue, and it feels like it is strange to see this color in the forest.

In addition to this big-headed creature, there is another creature that is also human-shaped, but compared with the creature next to it that looks like aliens than Earth creatures, this thing can basically be classified as a wild beast.

This guy is at least 2.5 meters tall and is wearing a heavy armor. However, the exposed part is all brown hair, and even his face is covered with a layer of slightly shorter hair. Except for the eyes and inside of his palm, the exposed part of the guy is basically full of hair.

In addition to her hair and huge body shape, this guy is basically quite human-like, and his body proportions are quite normal, but he looks particularly strong. In addition, this guy's head is a part that is quite different from that of humans, because the face of this thing is protruding forward. If it weren't for not seeing what it looks like and has no horns, I almost thought this was a tauren warrior.

In fact, the creature's head is a bit like a wolf, but its mouth is not that sharp and relatively short. But if it is a bear man, its ears and face shape are not right, anyway, this thing is probably a branch of some kind of orc.

The four creatures on the other side were sitting or standing there in a daze, and our sudden appearance immediately attracted the other party's attention. After seeing us, the two foreign creatures first glanced at the reactions of the two elves opposite, but when they saw that the expressions of the elves had not changed, they relaxed their vigilance. However, one of the elves opposite shouted to us: "Isn't this the north and south? Are you here to purchase bows and arrows again today?"

"No, I'm taking our president to meet the patriarch today. I want to ask your patriarch for help in something important."

"Oh, that's right. But you may have to wait a little longer. The patriarch is talking to the guests and has been in for a long time and it should be almost over."

"It's okay, we can wait." Nanbei said as he took us there, and then he started to whisper with the two elves. It was obvious that the relationship was really good.

While they were talking, I turned my head and whispered to a Polesephone who was wearing a hood but didn't make a sound, "Let your divine power a little bit, don't be too much, just scatter a little bit."

Polesephone did not answer, but I immediately felt a sense of coolness brushing across my face. The two elves who were talking to Nanbei and chatting were talking and suddenly turned their heads to look at us. Then one of the elves was stunned for a while before I remembered to ask Nanbei and asked Nanbei: "Is the one with a hood your president?"

"No, the one in front is our president, the one with a hood is a very powerful existence. She is currently a senior member of the guild, so she should be considered a subordinate of our president."

After hearing this, the elf nodded, then explained to his companion and turned around and entered the tree hole in a hurry. I knew he must have gone to report. For an elf tribe, a high-level existence with full of life power, but of course it is impossible to be ignored. It is okay if the other party doesn't know, but once he feels it, he will naturally report it as soon as possible.

Sure enough, in less than twenty seconds, a large group of elves rushed out of the entrance of the tree hole, at least a dozen. Among these elves, the leader of these elves, who looked quite old, locked in Polesephone's position at a glance, and then ran over excitedly.

Speaking of which, the lifespan of the elves is very long, and this race will hardly age. If the lifespan of the elves is reduced to the length of the human lifespan, then the elves' teenage years should be roughly like this. First, they will enter their teenage years at the age of three, and then they will become adults at about eight years old. They will only maintain their youthful state until they are forty years old, and then enter their prime and maintain their prime until after eighty years. After that, the elves will quickly go through the late middle age and old age stages with three years, and then die.

By this ratio, it can be seen that children and elderly people in the elves are very rare because their childhood and old age are very short, and they spend almost most of their lives in youth and prime. The elf in front of them looks like an old man of humanity, with wrinkled and shriveled skin, which means that the elf is really old and is probably about to reach the end of his life.

The old elf walked a little unsteadily with excitement, but he didn't really fall. After running to Polesephone for a few steps, he seemed to want to reach out to Polesephone, but he just raised his hand and didn't dare to stretch forward. Finally, he hesitated for a moment before he asked nervously: "I don't know what the high-level existence is called? I feel the powerful life fluctuations on you, which is far beyond the life mage of my clan. Before, I only felt this powerful life breath from the goddess's glory at the Moon Festival. Could it be that you..."

Polesephone calmly lifted his hood, showed a smile full of affinity and released his control over his divine power. As a breeze blew, the surrounding grassland shone in an instant as if it was sprayed with gloss. Some plants that were about to wither were also resurrected in an instant, and many places had inexplicably bloomed flowers of all sizes, and the entire elf tribe was covered by a sea of ​​flowers in the blink of an eye.

The reason for this effect was of course because Pole Sephone deliberately did it. If she didn't control it, the simple leakage of a little divine power would give birth to plants, but it would not have such an exaggerated effect. She did this now completely benefit me, and the purpose of course was to improve favorability. You must know that the elves are very intimate about all existences rich in life.

As this divine power unfolded, the old elf immediately shouted excitedly: "Are you a goddess?"

Polesephone smiled and said, "I am indeed a goddess, but I am not a moon god. I am the goddess of spring. It is my job to unblock the winter ban and bring vitality to the earth."

"It turns out to be the Goddess of Spring. No wonder he has such a powerful life power. I wonder if there is anything we need to do when the goddess appears here?"

"It's not a request." Polesephone began to introduce me. "This is Zi Ri, the president of the guild affiliated to the gods I am now in. I came this time because our guild wants to build an elf city, so we want your help."

"Elf City?" The old elf was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know how we need help. You have also seen that we ourselves do not have a residence that can be called Elf City, this..."

"We have all prepared other conditions for the construction elves city, but there are no elves seeds. I don't know if you can get some elves for us." I asked on behalf of Polesephone.

"Elf seeds?" the old elf said after thinking for a while: "We only have a few seeds, and they are all low-level building seeds. It is definitely not enough to rely on these alone in building elf cities, and we do not have the key mother tree seeds of life. However, if necessary, we can take you to the large city of the elves nearby. There should be seeds there, but they will definitely not trade them easily, so you need to find a way for yourself!"
