Another Life: Elf Archer

Heading north from Sibel, passing through the area where the Morrigan tribe is located, crossing the wall-like bushes, and entering into a stretch of somewhat desolate low hills.

When passing Morrigan, Nian Nian felt that the Duke seemed hesitant, so she considerately stopped at the fork leading to the Moon Spirit Spring, pretending that she was tired and wanted to take a rest. In the end, the Duke said disgustedly, " Delicate”.

Nian Nian pulled Qi Youfeng and strode forward, talking to each other as if there was no one around, vowing not to say a word to this annoying guy again, and preferably not to even make eye contact again.

Just looking at the deserted low hills in front of him, Nian Nian had to turn around and look at the Duke not far behind him.

"You haven't been here before either."

Qi Youfeng looked around and saw no obvious signs of human activity for a while.

"This is the first time I entered the Dwarves from this direction. Before, I always walked through the City of Usher."

I took a closer look at those low hills every year, and my eyes were attracted to something, and I was not sure:

“Why does it feel like there’s a missing piece on that hilltop over there?”

Qi Youfeng looked around and saw the small mountain bag that looked like it had been chewed off by something. He nodded: "It's really unnatural."

"Every mountain in the dwarf territory has been hollowed out. It's normal for a few to collapse occasionally."

When Niannian and Qi Youfeng turned around, the Duke just lowered his gaze and looked at the weeds and gravel on the ground. After a moment, he pointed in the direction:

"there."

What does this show?

After struggling for a while, Nian Nian took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "You've been here before."

"No need to use honorifics, just call me Lieer. From now on, we are travelers traveling together."

Duke Leer's attitude has become much gentler to the naked eye. Compared with the arrogant prince's appearance before, he looks more like a simple rich man who has just left home.

"I am the second son of a noble family, and you are a ranger from the East who also serves as my bodyguard."

Seeing Qi Youfeng simply nodding slightly, Lieer was very satisfied and looked at Niannian:

"You are a hybrid of a foreign race. Well, let's say you are a hybrid of succubi and elves. Although the succubus race has not walked on the mainland for nearly a thousand years, it has not completely disappeared into historical records and legends. It is very appropriate."

Nian Nian pointed to his nose: "I don't seem to match the temperament of that race."

Guarding an encyclopedic Alexander, Nian Nian's knowledge reserve is also quite rich. He has heard about this rare race from some mission descriptions and folk legends, but he does not feel that he has that mysterious and serene charming temperament.

Besides

"I've never heard that the succubus race has gray-purple skin like mine."

"No one is sure what their skin color is."

Lieer waved his hand to indicate that this was not a problem and continued:

"You are a slave who was rescued and returned to the elves this time. After you returned to your tribe, you were ostracized and isolated by the pure-blood elves. After escaping from the Jesses Forest and meeting him, you began to travel with us."

Nian Nian pondered for a second to figure out the inner meaning of this new setting, and wanted to give him a knife.

"You are so different from ordinary elves, and the elves don't like to socialize, let alone wander around. This is just the reason."

Liel added, glancing at her pointed ears.

Staring at the face of this half-blood elf that was almost the same as that of an ordinary human every year, he felt depressed.

She's also a mixed race. Bah, she's not a mixed race. How come this real mixed race only inherited the eye color of the elves? It's not fair.

"The situation of equal interaction between elven women and foreign men has been extinct for hundreds of years. In this way, you will not suffer too many strange looks."

Seeing that Qi Youfeng also looked calm, Lieer explained patiently.

"Okay, that's it. Fortunately, you don't want me to be your maid."

Nian Nian actually didn't mind it very much. Anyway, it was just a background story for himself. He pulled Qi Youfeng and nodded in agreement.

"Don't dare."

Lieer said in a calm tone, and led Nian and Nian to the northwest for five or six minutes, then stopped and stepped on the spot.

"That's it, let's go down."

Jumping from the wooden door hidden under the sand and stones into the cave, Nian Nian found out that due to the carelessness of the elves, these dwarves had secretly dug an underground road network leading directly to the Emers Forest.

"Don't worry too much. As long as Midir is here, the dwarves will be better than Morrigan."

When Nian Nian expressed her concerns, Lieer smiled softly.

"The border is so long, I'm afraid there are some places that cannot be taken into account." I still feel uneasy every year.

"Jeses Forest is spiritual." Lieer reached out and touched the moss on the rock wall with emotion. "This is the most powerful blessing of the elves."

"The dwarves have always been eyeing the elves' wealth. They have spent countless years digging tunnels like this under our feet. However, once this tunnel goes a little deeper into the forest, it will collapse inexplicably."

"Even so, the dwarves have never given up on various attempts. Over the years, they have left many abandoned tunnels."

"This one we found is one of them," Nian Nian asked.

"Well, this tunnel has survived for more than 20 years, so its end is directly connected to the largest town in the south of the dwarves. It won't be too abrupt for us to sneak in."

With the closure of the Jesses Forest, all the tunnels across the border were affected and could only be exited but not entered. The Duke was worried about bumping into the dwarves returning to their clan, and it was difficult to explain that the three foreigners were familiar with the location of the tunnel, so he I chose this path.

If asked, they could find some excuse, such as meeting a kind-hearted dwarf who came from the direction of the human race or the city of Usher.

"What exactly are we going to do?"

Nian Nian and Qi Youfeng looked at each other and felt that their journey was not very upright.

"First go and examine the market, and then consider the possibility of doing business."

Lieer looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "This is also my first time to visit the dwarves. I hope you two will take care of me."

The three tourists walked through the long tunnel. Two of them had racial talents and the other had the blessing of skills. Even though the tunnel was pitch black, they walked very fast. After about half a day, they arrived at the end of this tunnel. end.

Hearing the noise in the distance, Nian Nian and Lieer both slowed down. Qi Youfeng also reacted quickly, taking half a step back and following behind Nian Nian.

The white light at the entrance of the cave gradually became dazzling, and the three of them slowly approached, not only to adapt to the changing light, but also to listen carefully to the noisy shouts.

"Why does it sound like an interrogation?" Nian Nian turned to look at Lieer and said softly.

In the noisy noise, Nian Nian heard one question after another. The questions were just where he came from, whether he had just returned from the Feathers Forest, and whether he had any contraband with him.

It feels like there is a city gate-like place near the exit. If you want to enter the town, you have to ask questions.

"It sounds like the exit of this tunnel is not very hidden." Lieer was more concerned about how they blended into the crowd innocently.

"Wait until night"

Since it's underground, I can't be sure of the schedule here every year.

"Let's wait for now." Lieer nodded.

The three of them were still surrounded by darkness, but thinking of the dwarves' outstanding night vision ability, the three of them took a few hundred steps back, only ensuring the farthest distance where they could receive the sound.

"Since we are conducting an interrogation, I'm afraid it's not easy for us three foreigners to get along."

After the three people sat down on the spot, Nian Nian whispered.

"It doesn't matter. The dwarves are not closed off. There are merchants and tourists from various foreign races coming and going every day. As long as we don't mention the Feathers Forest, that's fine."

After all, Lieer is also a local leader in the City of Usher. He owns the largest arena and auction house in the Gaia continent. Even if he has not been here personally, he has enough knowledge.

"Your Excellency," Nian Nian looked at him curiously, "Is it really okay for you to just leave the affairs of Usher City alone?"

"If I had disappeared for a few days something would have happened, and the city of Usher would have been razed to the ground."

Lieer leaned against the rock wall of the tunnel and closed his eyes to rest.

"The City of Usher"

Every year I think about the past of the City of Usher and the three brothers again, and I am tempted to gossip.

"Although the parents are the same, since they are of mixed race, their appearance will always be related to the one who is closer to them."

One of the three brothers said casually, as if intending to satisfy Nian Nian's exploration.

"Engus and Midir are not pure-blooded elves"

Nian Nian was shocked by this inside story and couldn't help but raise his voice, which earned him a look of contempt from the Duke.

Two of the high priests of the three major elven tribes are mixed-race. Do the other elves know?

"Because the two of them are so powerful, even if that guy Midir chooses a warrior role that the elves shouldn't have, no elves will doubt him."

Silent every year.

Indeed, even if she saw with her own eyes Midir's weird costume and manner of holding a shield and a gun, as long as she knew that he was Morrigan's high priest, she would only think that this elf had special interests rather than Bloodline is impure.

She suddenly remembered what Engus once said when she was doing the advanced mission in Boander.

The elves have innate magical talents, but this talent limits individual efforts and cannot reach the ultimate level of natural law.

So could it be that, a long time ago, when the young Engus returned to the Forest of Jesus, in order to prevent his bloodline from being questioned and to show that he also had that kind of superior talent, he would work harder to improve. Only by yourself can you reach the extreme and become the high priest of Boander.

"That kid from Midir is quite willful. He doesn't like to be restrained, and he's not afraid of other people's strange looks. He insists on choosing a direction other than the orthodox archers and life priests of the elves. It breaks the inherent tradition of the elves for thousands of years. In terms of thinking, this temper doesn’t seem to have improved much yet.”

Lieer suddenly became verbose, his tone was very pleased, but also a little concerned.

"Engus has a serious mind and an even stronger character. He has suffered a lot along the way."

"You are theirs"

The conjecture was verified, and the three of them had respect for these three people every year at the same time.

"I am their elder brother." Lieer opened his eyes slightly and smiled.

Nian Nian smiled sweetly and said, "Hello, uncle."

"No need, with a disciple like you, Engus's taste is still a bit poor."

Lieer unceremoniously rejected the attempt to get closer every year.

Nian Nian was discouraged and dragged Qi Youfeng farther away.

"Don't stay too far away from me. It would be bad if you leave some stumps and broken arms here."

Lieer stood up, looked at the dimming light of the tunnel exit in the distance, and said calmly.

As soon as Nian Nian's steps stopped, Lieer raised his hand and clasped her shoulder, exerting a slight force.

The three figures disappeared, and the cold and dark tunnel returned to calm again. l0ns3v3
