Another Life: Elf Archer

Searching for the Elf Chief is an advanced task issued by Engus every year. It has special uniqueness, but it is also a legitimate task recognized by the system.

If described in system language, it would be:

Mission goal: Find traces of the Elf leader.

Mission details: According to the instructions of Engus, the high priest of Boander, go to the Duke of Usher to inquire about information and find the next clue.

Additional objectives that are not required to be completed: Assist the Elf Chief to return safely to the Forest of Jesus.

And when the Duke provided this "for example", the second half of the mission details also changed to "According to the Duke's proposal, approach the Holy Church to find the Elf leader."

Generally speaking, the mission goals and mission descriptions in this game are relatively general and do not limit the way players complete them. They just let the NPC judge based on the process and results to see if they meet their own requirements, and then decide the content of the reward.

Just like the mission Qi Youfeng received in Beitai City before, even though many steps had been changed due to the existence of Nian Nian, the Mohist giant was still very satisfied with changing Qi Youfeng's two weapons.

At this time, the changing system description shows that this is the only feasible method determined by the system, and it is best to follow the Duke's plan every year.

There are many ways to "get close", it can be false or sincere, but it must be a relatively peaceful way of contact, and it seems that the priority of the player's personal advanced tasks is above the camp's position, like every year Players like this who have been recruited by Simil can still receive missions to make friends with the enemy camp. Will there be an opportunity to choose another camp during the mission process?

Judging from the Duke's proposal, it seems that he is also worried about the world being in chaos. So, can he take a ride and do some innocuous things secretly?

"It seems that I was right. This will be a task that interests you."

The Duke watched Nian Nian's expression change from astonishment to calmness to interest, and smiled lightly.

"Because I realized there would be a lot of fun in it."

Nian Nian raised his hands to straighten his hair, and openly welcomed the probing glances from passers-by.

Qi Youfeng took her in his arms and looked at the Duke: "Then shall we leave for Eggberg immediately?"

"No, you come back to the City of Usher with me," the Duke looked in the direction of Eggberg, "She still needs a suitable opportunity and reason, and she also needs a leader."

......

The City of Usher, the Arena.

Nian Nian never imagined that the first thing he would do after returning to the City of Usher would be to be thrown into the arena by the Duke that day, preparing to participate in the "Fight of Ten Thousand Beasts" that would begin in 10 minutes.

"Have you told anyone else about your return?"

Qi Youfeng asked in the comfortable and luxurious preparation room.

He was naturally thrown into the arena, but was not assigned a combat mission. He was checking the clothes sent by the Duke to Nian Nian.

"I told Nick," Nian Nian took off his cloak, folded it and put it aside. "He said he would wait for me at home and let us go back directly after playing."

"He's the only one here." Qi Youfeng picked up the high-heeled boots, "Have you ever worn these?"

"No," Nian Nian took it over and studied it, "It doesn't seem difficult."

The heels of these boots are very thin, like silver spikes, but they are not high, less than five centimeters, which is not enough to make Nian Nian look intimidated.

"You should put it on first and see if it affects your movements."

Qi Youfeng suggested.

"Even if the Duke can make arrangements in advance, this is a battle of ten thousand beasts after all. There is no telling whether there will be any weird beasts, and the temporary audience will add to the variables."

If she walks on stilts with one foot deep and one foot shallow, then no matter how much she pretends, she will not have the awe-inspiring expert demeanor.

"Well, let me try."

Nian Nian simply took off all his clothes, changed into the clothes sent by the Duke, stepped into his boots, tried to walk back and forth a few steps, and jumped a few times.

"It's quite stable, just like wearing flat shoes. There must be some special design."

Qi Youfeng nodded reassuringly, neatly arranged the clothes that had been thrown away year after year, and pointed to her chest:

"Do you want to take these two off?"

Those were the wolf tooth necklace he knitted for her, and the white jade safety buckle Jiang Jinse gave her.

Looking at Nian Nian's current outfit, this wolf tooth necklace still matches well, but such a big round piece of white jade is a bit out of place.

"Don't take it off." Nian Nian carefully put the safety buckle into his collar and patted it. "This is my amulet. I rely on it to wish me good luck."

Qi Youfeng stood behind her, helped her comb her hair, and said with a smile:

"When Jiang Jinse gave you this thing, he must have hoped that you would play the game in a down-to-earth manner, don't cause trouble, don't get into trouble, and the most important thing is to be safe."

Qi Youfeng remembered that when Jiang Jinse chose and prepared this gift, he should have been in prison in Bagua City every year.

"I will definitely be safe," Niannian said seriously, "It's okay to bless you by the way."

Qi Youfeng shook his head and stopped answering, leaving some time for Nian Nian to check the messages. A message had just flown in, and it had already flown around Nian Nian's head several times.

"It's Albert, he's finally online."

Nian Nian looked at it, skipping the strong condemnation in the first half, and carefully thinking about how to respond to the dozen questions he listed.

When Nian Nian and Qi Youfeng finally remembered Albert who was locked in their small hotel room, Sedao had already flown to someone unknown, so Nian Nian simply wrote a letter of apology, roughly explaining the cause and effect. It blurs its own existence and focuses on the conflict between the Ruby Archduke and Paiso and others.

Since the news flew out of her hand, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean. Nian Nian probably felt relieved because this person had not been online.

After she met "Frankenstein" earlier in the waterway under the snow-capped mountains, although she handed over her administrator rights, she still left a small system backdoor for herself.

During the time when Cherbourg was transformed into Cherbourg, she slightly used this backdoor authority, but it was restored quickly. Since Albert was not online, he should not have noticed this small artificial change in the vast ocean of data. .

Now it seems that although Albert is a little dissatisfied with the fact that he was left behind, he cares more about the actual value of existence every year. In this case...

Every year, he picked the simplest question and gave the answer very accurately. At the same time, he buried a new argument in the answer that would make Albert more and more itchy.

She didn't expect the backdoor to stay hidden forever, but she wanted to at least keep it alive for a while.

"It's almost time for you to play."

"Ah."

Every year I watched the news fly out of the window, blending into the night and turning into a shining shooting star.

The next game on the continent of Gaia is to actually face Adam and Simil.

......

In the auction room located directly above the arena, the Duke was entertaining several distinguished guests.

It stands to reason that as the owner of this place, the Duke should entertain these people well, but in fact, since everyone entered this room, the Duke has not spoken to anyone, not even looked at them.

Fortunately, there was nothing to say among the guests he entertained. Everyone was on pins and needles, and the embarrassing atmosphere spread from the cracks in the floor. Their hands and feet gradually froze, and air-conditioning was sent to their mouths and noses.

Despite being so ignored, several guests present felt a sense of understanding for the Duke, because...

The envoy from Eggberg glanced at the people on the left and right sides. He couldn't help but cursed and complained that the Duke had delayed seeing him for so long. Fortunately, the Holy Church and the Holy God Temple also sent people. , and now the situation is exactly the same as the scene he saw in Eggberg Palace:

The priests of the Holy Temple Church in white robes are on the left, and the priests of the True God Temple in black robes are on the right. Eggberg's people are squeezed in the middle. The three parties are in the shape of horns, just waiting for the silent king opposite to make a decision.

Just like the Duke in front of him, the King of Eggberg was so silent that he directly postponed the dinner until the beginning.

At this moment, Envoy Eggberg suddenly discovered that a smile appeared on the Duke's face, which seemed to be fixed by a mold. His gaze towards the arena was... tender.

Several guests quickly went to look for this miracle that touched the Duke's facial nerves, but were startled by the cheers that broke out from the audience:

ninini

Who has a feminine-sounding name? Is this person so famous in the gladiatorial arena?

There seems to be an enthusiastic man shouting "I love you", so this should be a woman's name... Hey, why does it feel like the Duke's smile has become dangerous, as if he is very dissatisfied?

Suddenly discovering this terrible secret, several guests turned their eyes like searchlights, and soon they focused on the woman with an extremely special appearance in the room.

Seeing this man, the white-robed priest's face turned cold, but the black-robed priest couldn't help but reveal a proud smile. Envoy Eggberg looked at the two of them, and then at the Duke's gaze that had never moved even a little from the beginning to the end. Have a plan.

The woman in the field has elf-like pointed ears and devilish gray-purple skin. She wears stiletto boots and her legs are wrapped in stockings. The left stocking is shorter, revealing a black garter belt. , a thin strip, got into the tight-fitting shorts that just covered the hips, followed the cutting lines, climbed to the shoulders of the sleeveless shorts, and turned into two thin shoulder straps.

From the skin color to the clothes, they are all dark, very low-key. When she walks into the venue, she seems to be blending into the darkness step by step, but it is very eye-catching to a certain extent. It even sets off the silver-white shorts in her hand. The bow shines like a star.

Unfortunately, the Duke's guests today were not knowledgeable enough and did not seem to recognize the origin of the bow. Several guests inexplicably received a contemptuous look from the Duke and looked down blankly to see if they were embarrassed in any way.

"look carefully."

After more than an hour of torturous waiting, the Duke finally spoke his first words. His tone was light and casual, as if chatting, but it lifted the spirits of those present.

They stared at the woman with all their attention, measuring from the strands of hair to the soles of her feet, starting to evaluate from the flash of arrogance when she pulled the bowstring, and calculated a seductive figure on the body of the griffon that was shot to the ground by her arrow. Tag of:

To the Duke, there was something special about this woman.
