The Trial Game of Life

Celtic was stunned and lay down on the table.

Tang Cuo only remembered after he was put down. He forgot to ask Celtic the name of the current elf king.If it was still the Ai Mi Ye who enchanted the Judgment Sword, then they would have an extra layer of protection.

There was no way to ask now, and the two of them took the time to go out to investigate the situation.

At this time, the sky was getting dark and the fog in the forest was getting thicker and thicker. The lights on the Yunqiao gradually lit up, lighting up the surroundings.The light was in a cool tone, probably because of the mist, it was as dim as moonlight.

The moon finally showed its face in the mist, but it was very unreal.Because the moon is very big, as big as it would appear in a dream, and it has a kind of cold beauty.

Looking up and seeing a lamp hanging from the door, Tang Cuo realized that it was not a real lamp, but pure white flowers that were either in full bloom or just about to bloom.This flower is very similar to epiphyllum, it blooms everywhere with the vines, the stamen is the wick, and each of its petals exudes moon-like fluorescence.

"It's the breath of magic." Tang Cuo put "a useless magic stone" in his pocket, and his elemental affinity was improved, and his perception became stronger.However, this flower does not look like it has been enchanted by someone, but it condenses a lot of magic elements and glows naturally.

Jin Cheng: "This forest is unusual, and ordinary vegetation should not be underestimated. If you fight against others, you must be careful."

Ten minutes later, Jin Cheng graciously knocked on the door of the tree house next door, and asked with a smile, "Good evening, I'm sorry to come here suddenly to disturb you."

The people living inside are human guests, who do not wear the logo of the Ivy League on their chests, and seem to be scattered adventurers.They recognized Lancelot and treated him more friendly, "It's Lancelot, what's the matter?"

Jin Cheng shook the pen and paper in his hand, "You know, I'm a bard. It's a rare opportunity to come to the forest of elves, how can I not write a beautiful piece of music? So I want to hear your thoughts. Everyone has their own unique perspective, which will be very helpful to my creation."

These words are reasonable, and an art creator who can treat ordinary adventurers with sincerity will always be respected.

Jin Cheng entered the door smoothly, and when the two adventurers in the house gathered around Jin Cheng to talk to him, Tang Cuo walked around to the back of the tree house, avoided the eyes of the elf guards with ease, pried open the window of the bedroom, and went inside. tree house.

His goal is very clear, to find out if there is any suspected remnant of the previous guest like a feather badge in the guest room.The bedroom was not big, so he quickly turned it upside down, and Jin Cheng was in charge of the living room outside, and he would walk around the room pretending to be thinking, and complete this task quietly.

As for why it is assigned in this way, it is entirely a matter of roles.

The label on Tang Cuo's body is obvious, and the status of the Ivy League will bring him certain convenience and trouble, because others will definitely doubt his purpose.And if he accidentally knocked on the door of the small windmill office, the scene might not look good.

Relatively speaking, the identity of a bard is very easy to use.

But without Chi Yan, the luck of the two of them returned to before liberation. They knocked on two doors in a row, and all they found were scattered human adventurers. They didn't say anything, and they didn't find anything.

Disadvantage of apprenticeship.

The third one finally got a small gain, because the person who opened the door changed from a human adventurer to a dwarf with a beard and a drunken bottle.

The second his gaze moved down, Jin Cheng quickly switched modes, staring at his wine bottle with sparkling eyes, and said, "It's such a fragrant wine, I've never smelled such a wonderful fragrance."

The dwarf successfully got a drinking buddy, and he was so happy that he revealed some news.

"Although the elves and us dwarves have been neighbors for generations, they are in the forest of elves, and we are in the valley of the wind, but the noble elves don't look down on us dwarves. If I hadn't made a bet with someone this time, I wouldn't have come to claim this Task, I don't want to be looked at by the noble Elf with his eyes on the top of his head, but I didn't expect-hey, they recruited me in and gave me such delicious wine. Blow it for a lifetime!"

The only dwarf in the team this time was this Hammer. He dragged Jin Cheng and bluffed again, and fell asleep drunk.Jin Cheng thought about his words carefully, raised his head, and looked at Tang Cuo who just came out of the bedroom.

"Did you find anything?" he asked.

"No." Tang Cuo shook his head, "But judging from what he said, this trip to the secret lake is indeed a lot of tricks. If the secret lake is really that important and the incident has not been resolved for so long, why don't the elves directly A big man like Roger Reid asking for help? Instead, it’s a bit of a no-brainer.”

"This is indeed a problem." Jin Cheng said.

The two left the dwarf's house immediately, and then knocked on the elf's door with the same reason.Elves are not as easy-talking as other races. They are noble and proud, and behave elegantly and politely, but they always treat people with a slight alienation.

But this is not a problem for Jin Cheng, if necessary, he can act like an ancient nobleman than anyone else on this continent——

A man from an isolated and mysterious country wrapped in yellow sand, has a real ancient noble blood, is very artistically talented and aims to become the most popular bard in Sicily, sincerely admires elves and intends to write poems for them Praise of the noble nobility.

He is elegant, handsome, humorous but not frivolous, and proves with his strength that he is qualified to be a friend of elves.

"Lancelot, I look forward to your music. Maybe you have heard that we elves are born to love music. The god of nature gave us a pair of distinctive ears, so that we can listen to the most beautiful sounds in the world. "

The talking male elf's eyes were shining brightly, but his movements were still very reserved, and he only nodded slightly.

Jin Cheng replied to him with noble etiquette, calmly and without a trace of reluctance.After bidding farewell to him, Jin Cheng visited several elves in succession, but the feedback he got was similar.

The attitude of the elves towards him is indeed quite good, but they really don't seem to understand what happened in the secret lake.

After visiting like this for half a day, with little to gain, Jin Cheng sat on the rock under the tree to take a rest.Tang Cuo quickly turned around from behind the tree and said, "After you left just now, those two elves were muttering in the bedroom, complaining that the guests last time were too rude, and they left without saying hello to them."

Jin Cheng rubbed his chin, "It seems that there are indeed more than one wave of people coming to the forest of elves, but the spread of the news is limited to a certain range. The two elves said that the guests left without saying hello, what do you think?"

Tang Cuo: "Most likely dead."

Jin Cheng: "So it's the high elves who hid the news? It's very likely that they also hid the real situation of the secret lake, and even most of the elves were kept in the dark. And those of us who accepted the reward The mission came, the real mission content may be—”

Tang Cuo: "Death."

After finishing speaking, Jin Cheng suddenly gave him a wink.Tang Cuo was immediately alert, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the elf guards passing nearby and the guard tower in the distance.

As Celtic said, the elf guards were too serious and guarded.

Jin Cheng really wanted to tie up a question, but they had figured out the general situation, so there was no need to do anything extra.And this is on the outskirts. If the high elves, or the royal family, are not here, the truth must not be here either.

"The princess mentioned a word - the court of the elves."

"in front of?"

The two were talking calmly, and when the guards passed by, Jin Cheng even smiled and nodded at each other.There's no way, nobles just have to be so confident and elegant.

The guards stopped and returned the salute. The elf at the head said: "We are leaving early tomorrow morning, please go back early, and my clansmen will bring you night food in a while. May the two of you who have used my elf forest After drinking, I can sleep well."

Just a few words shattered Jin Cheng's plan to go to the royal court to find out.Sending dew and wine is equivalent to rounds, and Celtic fainted again, so someone must stay in the house.

After weighing, the two returned to the tree house for the time being, and Tang Cuo stayed behind to deal with it, while Jin Cheng went on tour alone.

After a while, the elf who brought the dew and wine really came. Tang Cuo put Celtic on the bed, and used props to create the illusion that Jin Cheng had also fallen asleep, successfully fooling him.

But until the middle of the month, Jin Cheng did not come back.

He won't trigger any side plots again, will he?Tang Cuo thought.

The fact is as he expected.

Relying on his great strength, Jin Cheng successfully bypassed all the patrolling guards and sentry towers, and successfully approached the royal court.But when he got closer, he realized that there was a deep chasm between the spiers of the palace and the surrounding tree houses.

The moat is in the shape of a ring, like a moat surrounding the entire royal court.Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking at the opposite bank, the distance is actually two to 300 meters.Moreover, both sides of the moat are exposed hard rocks, not a single blade of grass grows, and the bottom is filled with thick fog that keeps floating upwards, setting off the entire royal court like a city above the clouds.

The architectural style of the royal court is very different from the surrounding tree houses. It is a black building, ancient, magnificent, solemn and solemn.

There are only four ladders that lead to the royal court, but all of them are heavily guarded.

Jin Cheng didn't believe in this evil, so he walked around the cliff for a long time, trying to find another way, but after walking for a long time, a side plot was triggered.

"Ding!", there was absolutely no way he heard it wrong.But after the "ding", it disappeared again. Suspiciously, he changed his position and walked around the trigger point just now before hearing the sound again.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the player for triggering the side mission - McCown of Despair. Today is the seventh day since McCown fell. During these seven days, he knelt on the ground and sincerely prayed to the gods every day. Is there anyone to save him? Woolen cloth?"

At this time, Jin Cheng was standing on a protruding rock on the edge of the cliff, if he took a wrong step, he would fall.But the meaning of the system is to let him jump down.

Holding the little harp in his arms, he just wanted to recite a poem——

Dear Cuocuo, Eternal Night City wants you to be a widow.

Unfortunately, the elf guards came this way.There is no shelter on the edge of the cliff.

As time passed by, Tang Cuo, who stayed behind in the tree house, frowned more and more.After waiting for so long, Jin Cheng still hasn't come back, which made Tang Cuo believe that something must have happened to him.

Tang Cuo didn't go out recklessly to look for people. Of the two, he and Jin Cheng must have one of them to carry out the task of visiting the secret lake. This is the most important thing.

So Tang Cuo waited and waited until dawn the next day.

Staying up all night is not a big burden for Tang Cuo now, not to mention that he is just sitting in the house, which can be regarded as rest.It's just that Jin Cheng's current situation is unknown, no matter how confident he is in him, his complexion will not be too good-looking.

Celtic was used to Theodore's cold expression, so he didn't have any doubts. He just rubbed his head and muttered why he fell asleep in a daze last night.

At this time, it was just dawn, and the morning light dispelled the dense fog a little. When I walked outside the tree house, I took a deep breath. The strong natural force contained in the air made people feel shocked.

Celtic admired it sincerely, "It is indeed a forest of elves."

At this time, two members of the elf guard came under the tree house and nodded politely, "Good day, two guests. The elder is already waiting ahead, it's time to go."

Celtic nodded, "Okay, we'll be there soon after we get ready."

The guard then left to inform the others.

Only then did Celtic realize that Jin Cheng was not there, and hurriedly asked, "Where's Lancelot?"

Whether to tell Celtic, that is the question.

Tang Cuo had already considered this issue, so he only paused for a while, and said: "He noticed something strange last night, and he is sure that other guests have come here, and the elves have concealed the truth from us. I will split up with him to find out the situation , but he hasn't come back yet."

"Then what should we do?" Celtic frowned immediately, with deep worry in his eyes, "No, we have to find him as soon as possible. The Elven Forest is too big, and we are not familiar with it. Lancelot alone People are too dangerous."

But Tang Cuo shook his head, "No, the team is about to set off, it's too late. Celtic, remember what I said, don't tell the elves the truth, you just need to tell them—we only found out that Lancelot was missing in the morning of."

Celtic realized a little bit, "You mean, blame the elves?"

Tang Cuo: "Yes, we must not let them know what we have discovered."

The author has something to say:

Jumping off a cliff to get treasure is an eternal law.
