The brave man who runs a hotel in an RPG

When the three of us returned to the banquet on the second floor, no one cared to pay attention to the movement on the auction floor. Whether it was the blue robe or the black robe, every mercenary was talking about the elf who turned into a monster. This place is absolutely impossible for monsters to sneak in, so the identity of the elf is what the mercenaries are most curious about.

I sat until the end of the auction and didn't see anything I was interested in except for the black keel, and the auction items presented on the stage later had nothing to do with monsters or the power of dark attributes, but according to Melody's words, the ones that turned into monsters There will be more and more elves in the near future. At that time, people on the four continents will be able to guess the truth of the turmoil of the World Tree with a little association. It is urgent to stop this trend.

I went back to the hotel with my companions in the dark. It was inconvenient for me to invite Joey over so late, so I had to wrong Salia to go to the maids' room for the night.I fed Kane the food I brought from the mansion, and then went to the basement to find Galgari.

"Gagali, Gagari, Alsis is here!"

Before approaching the weapon store in Lizhi, I heard the sound of the noisy sword.

I said good evening to the group of demonic shadows on the wall who were out for a walk, and then I pushed open the unlocked door and walked in. The freckled boy who is the owner of the weapon shop was lying sleepy in a large chair. When he entered the room, he muttered something incomprehensible, with an impatient look of "who is disturbing my Qingxiu".

"Is it here to send money? If it wasn't here to send money, I would have continued to sleep." Jia Jiali yawned and rubbed the corner of his poor right eye until it turned red.

"Can't you change your routine? How many businesses are lost like this?" I finally found a seat in the messy pile of weapons and sat down, and casually mentioned my long-standing dissatisfaction, "Why are they thrown in such a mess? ... Has anyone been here?"

"Ah, he's an ordinary civilian, saying that it's not safe outside recently, and he needs to buy a powerful weapon to defend himself." Gagari spread his left hand helplessly, "He came to me and said such a thing, who introduced this idiot Huh? I picked out my things like a cabbage, but I bought the cheapest one and left. Even if this kind of person holds a magic weapon, he will be killed by cannon fodder in two or three episodes, don't you think?"

"Why do I feel that you are alluding to me back then." I twitched the corner of my mouth.

The description of picking cabbage is especially similar.

"No, it's just your illusion."

Jia Jiali suddenly put down his hands and sat upright, the corner of his right eye was much redder than the left, which seemed a little funny.

"Speaking of which, is it really not safe outside?" He asked with more sly eyes.

I remembered the commotion caused by the demonized elf at the auction, and I couldn't help but clenched my chin and muttered to him: "It's not like Melody's style for news to leak out so quickly. Could it be Earl Langens who did it...?"

"I think it's raining and the wind is all over the building." Jia Jiali smiled, "The wind is blowing to me."

I subconsciously asked: "Who is Feng? That ordinary civilian?"

"It's wrong, it's you." Jia Jiali straightened his waist which was always bent, and he became much taller all of a sudden.

He immediately jumped off the chair, walked around me with his hands behind his back, pointed to the "Endless Domain" on my waist and said, "Take off your sword and follow me in."

I was stunned, for a moment I almost thought that Galgari was also a coordinator, but if the twin brothers were really the coordinator, Melody would not have mentioned it to us, so he is just a special npc similar to Fred That's all, to be able to guess my intention of coming here must be because the aura emanating from the "Endless Realm" and that black keel caught his attention too much.

In the same way, I breathed a sigh of relief, took off the "Endless Domain" and followed Gagari into the inner room of the Sato weapon shop.

The appearance inside is no different from the outside, it was decorated by me with a wave of my hand, the style is similar to most of the rooms in the hotel, and the two brothers Gagari and Yuri belong to the carefree style of life and do not have much requirements for the living environment From the perspective of the interior of the room, there is no difference between the two brothers.

...Maybe even the color of the underwear I wear every day is the same.

Gagari walked to a workbench that looked like a weapon processing department, turned around and asked, "What do you want me to do with your sword? Upgrade? Fusion? Enchant?"

I directly took out the black keel bone from my backpack, approached Jia Jiali together with "Endless Realm" and asked, "The material of this sword and this bone are the same thing, right?"

Gagari glanced at it, and snorted slightly: "It's all changed beyond recognition, thanks to you, you can still see it."

I shrugged.

——This is the skeleton of my last body. If I can't see it, no one will be able to see it.

I put the black dragon bone on the table and said straight to the point: "I think this bone is the material needed to upgrade this sword, help me upgrade this sword."

Jia Jiali's eyes widened uncommonly, "It's really something extraordinary." He picked up the keel and tapped it for a while, as if he couldn't put it down, he said: "This thing is too expensive, it's up to At the top, your sword will become a legendary weapon, and the price will definitely not be good."

I waved my hand: "I'm not short of money." It's a joy to say this.

Hearing what I said, Jiajiali's eyes widened, and he took the "Endless Domain" without hesitation and said: "Then I let go."

……

Gagari's upgrade work will be done tomorrow morning, and I can't sit in the weapon shop in the weapon shop for a long time, so I went back to the top, planning to have a good sleep to meet the main line soon. After the "evil" was sealed, I would no longer have the urge to run away or suck blood. I lay next to Kane and closed my eyes, and soon fell asleep.

I was awakened by a strange sound in the middle of my sleep. I opened my eyes and looked towards the door. After careful identification, I found that the sound came from the direction of the deluxe room.

It's three o'clock in the morning.

I got up and put on my clothes, and carefully tucked up the quilt for Kane before leaving. When I passed by Wensania's room, I bumped into her who was sleepy. The half-worn coats were put on hastily.

When I came to the deluxe room, I saw Dieter who had been waiting for a long time. The strange noise in the room had disappeared. I asked Dieter about the situation. Dieter said that he heard a cry for help and wanted to open the door when he arrived. The person inside said calmly that he had just had a nightmare, and now he was going to sleep again, hoping that Dieter would not break in.

"Cry for help? I did hear a loud and strange sound, but it's definitely not a cry for help." Windsania tilted her head while playing with her hair.

I typed a word of approval: "Me too, I didn't hear the cries for help."

Dieter frowned, and described hesitantly: "The cry for help only appeared once, and it was very quiet. I only heard it when I was close to the door."

I pondered for a while, and rushed to the front desk to look through the roster of guests registered during the day, and successfully found a name according to the house number of the deluxe room. After looking at the registration time of that name, I asked the male waiter on duty at the front desk : "Who is registering at this time?"

The male waiter seemed to want to ask me what happened inside, but when I asked, I explained in a rather out of state: "...the store manager, it's me."

"Then do you remember what this guest looked like?"

The male waiter thought for a while and said, "Remember, it was a combination of an elf and a human, so I was very impressed. The elf's hair color..."

"Okay, okay, give me the door key."

I interrupted the male waiter with a wave of my hand, and after getting the key, I rushed back to the door of the luxurious room and turned the key first lock.

"In it lived an elf and a human," I said as I turned the key.

There is no need to explain the excess.

As soon as we opened the door, we entered the battle. Relying on level suppression, we easily dealt with another demonized elf that was rushing towards me. A feeling of time-traveling into the zombie apocalypse.

The three of them were all stained with the black blood of elves, I wiped my fingertips, and teased Wen Shania: "When will you be demonized, remind me and Dieter, lest one day we will be both You gnawed, just like this unlucky girl."

"Hey, it won't be demonized!" Winsania stuck out her tongue, "I'm different from Melody, I can't even detect the turmoil at the top of the spiral."

"You mean you're the deaf and blind kind of elves."

"Who is deaf and blind!"

Seeing that we were going to digress again, Dieter stood up and said something useful. He squatted down and studied the body of the elf after dying for a while, twisting the elf's blue-purple hair and asking: "The lake elves are all of this color. Is it your hair color?"

"Melody has platinum-blonde hair, Leia's hair is also very light, and the tree elf doesn't have heavy color all over her body," I said.

I went to Kane’s room and read a few related books when I was engaged in elf-themed activities. The most basic difference between tree elves and lake elves is this, followed by body shape. For women, tree elves are smaller than lake elves, while men are smaller. Taller, Melody and Leia are typical representatives.

Windsania looked a little serious: "It seems that the lake elves were the first to be infected."

The tree elves live closer to the core of the world tree, and may be more resistant to the power of shadows.

The murder case caused by the demonized elf in the luxury guest room is naturally handed over to the people from the Mercenary Union branch. No matter what Earl Langens thinks about this matter, I will not let this kind of case affect the hotel business. light.

The next day, I went to Gagari to get back the "Endless Domain". After being upgraded by Gagari, the "Endless Domain" can be used until my second turn after level 70. I recalled my previous life and Chris through it. Some details of Ting's adventure, although I can't use it to recall more useful information, but I believe that after a long time, I can always get all the gains I want one day.

After finishing the "Endless Domain", Dieter and I went to the casino to dig Joey back, but I didn't expect that not long after unlocking the bar, there was another murder case of demonic elves eating people in the hotel. I asked Ruan Yibo to help me suppress it. The second time, however, one or two items could not be held down, but three or four items were suppressed, and the hands of the mercenary union did not grow to cover the entire traveler town, and what was unexpected was that the elves turned into monsters after that. Continents happen one after another, just like the cold current from the northern continent or the warm wind from the southern continent, its momentum is unstoppable. In the hearts of human beings, elves have always been the most spiritual creatures, and they are the species closest to gods except angels. , but this kind of species has been demonized frequently in just a few days, bringing countless disasters and darkness to the mainland. People can't accept it psychologically, and feel strongly uneasy about it.

Humans' attitude towards elves has become more subtle. Gradually, some high-ranking nobles and town administrators demanded centralized monitoring and control of elves walking in the world. They don't care whether you are a lake elf or a tree elf, as long as your ears are pointed , either go back to the world tree or lose their personal freedom, not only those wild elves who left their homes and wandered alone, even the mercenary union cannot guarantee the interests and safety of elf mercenaries, and it is precisely because of the fact that President Melody He is an elf, and people have a lot of doubts about the mercenary union.

These days, Windsania is hiding in her room, and her reputation in the traveler town has dropped to 65 points. What I declare to the outside world is that Dieter and I are responsible for taking care of her.Of course, I don't have the time to go to the bar or something. Fortunately, Joey is reliable enough, and Salia is also reliable in her old business.

All this happened in just two weeks.

Humans and elves should help each other - it's not that there are such voices, but there are too few people standing on the elves' side to be ignored. Any race will give priority to its own interests, and the demonized elves have violated the interests of humans several times Post-humans can no longer be friends with elves, at least until they figure out the reason for the demonization of elves and solve this hidden danger, it is impossible for humans to be friends with elves again.

The murders caused by demonized elves have left bloodstains in the history of the mainland one after another. The atmosphere outside has become more tense, and the relationship between humans and elves has also deteriorated day by day. The destructive aura is constantly collapsing, so we are all relieved after finally hearing the system notification sound of the main storyline opening, even though the sound is still cold and ruthless.Wen Shania almost cried with joy - she was forced to stay in the house all day even though she had nothing to do, and she was already suffocated because of her restlessness.

"Received the main task: Sick World Tree ([-])"

"Currently available mainline tasks: 2, received mainline tasks: 1, untriggered mainline tasks: 1."

"So far, you have entered the main plot of the game. During the progress of the main plot, you cannot exit the plot, save files, use the teammate dialogue function, and cannot use resurrection potions. Once you die in the plot, 10% of the money in the player's backpack will be deducted as a punishment. And the level will be lowered by 3 levels, and the dead will be moved to any coordinator in the southern continent to stand by until the end of the mission. If the player who is the protagonist dies, it will be counted as a failure of the main mission, and all players will be punished for failure. The failure of the main plot will result in A large amount of data is disordered. In order to ensure the smooth progress of future plots, the system will force the in-game time to return to the night before the main plot is triggered. Please keep the above matters in mind.”

So far, the rules are exactly the same as the main story last time, but there was a turning point immediately——

"Finally, this main line must complete two main line tasks to be counted as a plot clearance."

— That is to say, the difficulty is further increased.

I immediately called up the task panel to view the task description of the new main line.

Mission Name: Sick World Tree ([-])

Task requirements: Please go to the world tree to find the root cause of the elves turning into monsters

Task reminder: Go through the forest of death and enter the lower level of the world tree. ps: Only when the road leading to the upper layer is activated in the lower layer of the world tree can the "port of migration" connected to the upper layer of the world tree be used

Task reward: several experience points (depending on level)

Since we had received the task and had to act immediately, we packed up our equipment and props overnight and left the hotel along the secret road in the hot spring area. When we left the city, the soldiers only let me and Dieter go, and Windsoria was stopped in the city Well, I have met the leader of the soldiers who blocked people several times. He often comes to the bento shop opened by the hotel to buy bento, but this friendship is obviously not enough for him to open the back door for our convenience.

Just as Wensania and I were discussing whether we should force our way in, a tall figure jumped off the city wall. He was agile and quick, knocking down a group of soldiers at the gate of the city.

Windsania was the first to recognize the identity of the elf, and she covered her mouth in surprise and called out the person's name: "Leia?!"

The other party did not comment, and gestured to go quickly, turned around and flashed out of the open city gate, as fast as a gust of wind.

Windsania's eyes lit up: "Let's hurry up!"

Dieter and I agreed, and followed Windsania's footsteps without hesitation.

It wasn't until we passed through the "Mouth of Migration" connecting the lower layers of the World Tree to the foggy Death Forest that the guide who ran at the front turned around and took off his cloak to reveal his true face. The facial features were indeed Leia, the door god next to Melodie.

"The president asked me to show you the way," Leia said.

I touched the golden rune under the bangs that Melody had tattooed on his forehead with a special technique, thinking that Melody spoiled us too much, why is she so worried that we won't be able to get out of the Forest of Death?

After a while, Leia said again: "Actually, the president still has something to tell me."

"What's the matter?" Windsania asked quickly.

Leia was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I don't quite understand the meaning of the President's words, but I know you can understand."

Then he repeated everything in the tone of Melody.

"Recently, my communication with the heart of the World Tree has been interrupted. The dark aura leaking from the top of the spiral is eroding my body every day and night. Even if the aura is insignificant to me, it is not a good sign in time. , but relatively I sensed more things, or I recalled some dusty memories deep in my memory, I think they are related to what the protagonists are looking for, and their nature is different from those dreams of the protagonists, yes A memory closer to the original state of this world."

"In those memories, I, Ibis, Remnis and other coordinators are all living people who have their own thoughts and are not bound by the Creator. We are not AI. Our previous life did not live in this world like the protagonist Mr. .I have not questioned the authenticity of these memories. It is easy to determine whether they are true or not. It is not good for the Creator to remind us of the memories of when we were "human beings". The Creator will not do that, so they must be real."

"By the way, the most important point is that we seem to have promised the Creator some conditions before becoming the coordinator. Although I can't remember the specific content, this condition is definitely related to why we have become so closely related."

After Leia's retelling, Melodie's words stirred up turbulent waves in my heart like a huge rock. Melodie is a member of the coordinator. She can recall the memories of her previous life under the influence of the power of shadow. Then if I manipulate the power of shadow to contact other coordinators, it may remind them of something.

But why does the power of shadow have such power?Could it be that I accidentally touched the hidden key in my body?It's hard not to think of the reality of the world in Melodie's words.

I recalled the anomaly when the guide returned to my body from Gloris.

——If you can still see the mirror image, you will have a chance to collect more information.

In fact, when Ibis visited several times, I intentionally or unintentionally asked him about the status of Gloris and other characters. Abis half-jokingly replied that even his intelligence office could not find Gloris. Waiting for the person's role information, according to him, the four mirror images have been disposed of by the creator after the failure. At that time, I was still a little angry. The guide said that Gloris is slightly different, but obviously this slight difference is not a big deal For eggs.

The reality of the world is supposed to be the coordinators of human beings, the mystery of the power of shadows, the key to the existence in my body... The mystery is like snowballing, getting bigger and thicker, and the only thing I can hope for is the Yukui on my waist. The "Endless Domain" built by German corpses.

Leia didn't ask us if we learned anything from what Melody wanted to tell, and after he finished recounting, he walked forward again without stagnation. Winsania paused, and then caught up with Leia He kept chattering, apparently trying to get something out of Leia's mouth.

"The world tree is really in the center of the four continents? Leia, will you act with us after you bring it to the lower level of the world tree? What if I can't understand the elf language spoken by the elves, Leia, will you translate for us? Say something Do you want to dress up as elves when you come back to Alsis? Are the purebred elves more accepting of half-elves? Are there any races living near the World Tree?"

Windsania asked a series of questions without panting, and Leia replied in order as she walked: "Yes. Yes. We use the common language in front of humans, and I will translate for you in special situations. You don't need to dress up as an elf , we can recognize it through consciousness and smell. We do not exclude elves from falling in love with other races freely, and have always been tolerant to half-elves. There are centaur tribes living in the lower layer of the world tree, and the elves and unicorns in the upper layer of the world tree are good friends .”

I don’t know if it’s because Leia led the way well. We walked for a long time and didn’t meet a single enemy. Maybe it’s because the journey was boring, but Leia still took the initiative to talk to us. This is completely different from my previous impression of him. I used to He was classified as a gourd type like Dieter and Rayleigh.

"The original name of this place is the Lost Forest."

There is moon and starlight on the top, heavy mist under the feet, dense bushes in front and behind, except for the tall trees that almost reach the clouds, in this environment, Leia initiates without warning. a new topic.

No one answered his words, so he immersed himself in the quiet atmosphere and talked to himself.

"It is you humans who named this place the Forest of Death, because anyone who enters here can never go back, sometimes they can clearly see the outline of the World Tree, and think that they are very close, so they speed up their pace. As in the desert, it was but a phantom of a mirage, and in the end they did not enter the dreamland they wanted to see, and died of hunger and fatigue on the way."

——The Western Fantasy version of Peach Blossom Spring.

"Why didn't the elves come out to help the lost humans?" Windsania kicked the pebbles and asked, "Some humans don't have any malice, but they just want to see what the elves' world looks like, and see if the world tree is It’s really as good as the legends... it’s true, why not save them?”

"Because what we don't trust is not a specific human being, but the untrustworthy part of all human beings." Leia replied.

"This sentence is so strange." Windsania complained.

Leia said: "We are not angels, we cannot see a person's soul, we can only see his conscious state of mind, but sometimes consciousness can reflect much more than the soul."

Hearing this, I interjected into the conversation: "I seem to understand this statement."

Leia said nothing, as if waiting for me to continue.

"Even if he is an impeccably good man, even if he promises not to mention the situation of the World Tree, as long as he returns to the human world, it is impossible to prevent the possibility of him leaking information. He may talk in his sleep, or he may accidentally I revealed to my closest relatives that these were all unintentional, but they were enough to threaten the interests of the elves."

Isn't it true that human beings are no longer able to have "we are all good friends" with the elves after their interests are threatened by the elves? The speed of tearing faces is faster than turning over a book, and this time the matter is even deeper. Regarding the taboo of humans, I am really worried that these two races will be incompatible in the future.

"What you said is not unreasonable. We did warn all humans after someone did this." Leia nodded, "The original intention of the Lost Forest is to protect the world tree of the elves. Humans know the confusion You shouldn't try to step in because Zhisen is so powerful."

Yes, low-footed people are self-defeating.

——No, it seems that I scolded myself too.

The next second, I thought that we were on a mission, so we shouldn’t be counted as low-footed people. When I looked up, I saw Leia’s feet were straight and his back was straight. He stopped.

"We have arrived."

As soon as Leia's words fell, the surrounding mist surged towards both sides as if it had life, and the azure jewel-like lake and the jungle denser than the Lost Forest gradually showed their charming panorama before our eyes. .

——This is the utopia and ideal land that adventurers want to reach in their dreams.

——Here is... the world tree in the center of the world.
