Age of Global Lords

Outside the oak tree territory, a group of elves in leather armor walked slowly inside with curious and probing eyes.

These elves have shoulder-length golden hair, light blue eyes like the sea of ​​stars, and tall and thin bodies. There are both graceful female elves and handsome male elves.

With bows, arrows and staffs in their hands, they looked at the tall arrow tower over there very vigilantly.

The whole land was soaked in blood, and the remaining traces of various beasts were enough to show the fierceness of the battle here. It is unknown how many beasts died here.

"Captain, it turns out that the territory of these gods is like this, and it looks very spectacular." Heidi, a female elf magician, said, "Fortunately, they helped attract the attention of the beast gods, otherwise our villages and towns would also be changed. Like this."

Enoch nodded, agreeing: "These blood is still very wet, maybe the war has just ended not long ago."

The exquisite boots stepped on the mud, and the soles of the feet were stained with some blood.

The elves are not in that state of non-human consumption. As members of the elves patrol team, Enoch, Heidi, Miranda, Antonio and others are all used to seeing blood.

"Captain, look at these two plants!" Edgar pointed to the slightly sluggish plants over there, his tone full of shock.

Enoch took a closer look curiously, and found that one of the poisonous weeds similar to the snake letter had been broken a lot, and there were still traces of natural magic on it. It seemed that someone cast a spell to save it.

"Snake letter grass is very rare in the forest. It is mainly distributed in swamp and lake areas. When you see it, stay at least one meter away from it, and don't stand in the downwind direction."

The elves who have survived for hundreds of thousands of years are almost all well-informed people, who can easily identify these poisonous weeds that do not exist in the twilight forest.

"And the intoxicating mushroom, if you like to drink, you can grow one at home to ensure that you are in a state of drunkenness every day."

Heidi asked curiously: "If this intoxicating mushroom is used as a raw material for wine making, the brewed wine should be even more intoxicating?"

Enoch spread his hands, "You are very thoughtful. You can bring this suggestion to the lord later to see if the brewing is poisonous."

"Well, this territory looks bigger than other human territories, and there are a lot more defensive towers, no wonder they dare to kill kobolds. It's just that these things alone can't prevent trolls, and trolls are far more powerful than He was much stronger than he imagined."

Their team has been partnered for a long time, and the Twilight Forest has always been quiet and peaceful. The biggest danger may be the human slave hunting team.It never happened that a troll wiped out a village!

At first, Enoch and the others didn't believe such a thing, even if they were summoned by the communication crystal ball, they made a special trip to the village where the incident happened to check it before confirming the authenticity of the news.

Now they are going to bring back a few survivors from Serra Village.

At the gate of the Oak Territory, Brook was wearing all kinds of equipment and standing beside the Sword Grass. When he saw this group of handsome men and beauties, he stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is this Captain Enoch? I am Brook from the Oak Tree Territory." -Bell, the lord asked me to meet you on a special trip."

Enoch and the others had very vicious eyes, and were immediately overwhelmed by this majestic welcome.

There is actually a legend level powerhouse in this mere human territory, and this human powerhouse is willing to meet him at the gate!

They couldn't help raising their attention.

Legendary-level powerhouses are already considered top-level combat power in the mainland. In the entire team, only captain Enoch has reached the legendary level, and the rest of the team members are still far behind.

And this strong human being in front of him does not seem to have just broken through, the long sword on his waist, the armor on his body, and the leather boots on his feet are all real good stuff!

"I am very grateful to your lord for caring and protecting our people."

"We and the elves have been allies since thousands of years ago, and we should help each other." Brook made an inviting gesture, "Please come in, the lord has prepared food to entertain all distinguished guests."

He deliberately identified the identities of his allies in order to dispel the hostility of these elves.

But from the looks of it so far, this team of elves really didn't feel arrogance, and they didn't show any malice towards humans occupying such a large piece of land in the Twilight Forest.

Brooke found it very strange that he couldn't do this anyway.

At this time, the sword grass looks harmless to humans and animals, just like an ordinary landscape plant.

But the elf swordsman can feel the sword intent that has been brewing for a long time, and even feel its bloodthirsty. This is by no means an ordinary decoration.

Heidi looked curiously at the city gate, the city wall, and the tall second-tier wooden arrow tower. After some hesitation, she decided to ask for some information: "Mr. Bell, there was a large-scale battle near the city wall. Could it be these defensive towers? Did you kill the beasts?"

Brooke nodded and replied briskly: "That's right, without these defense towers, it would be difficult for our territory to survive the beast tide. The towns and villages of the elves should also be attacked, right?"

"There are small-scale battles, but they are not as exaggerated and frightening as your territory. Don't these defense towers need spar or Warcraft crystal core? How do they work?"

"This is beyond the scope of my knowledge." Brook spread his hands and said, "They were all built by the lord, and we don't understand the principle of them. The wooden arrow tower only needs to be supplemented with wood, not spar."

"It turned out to be like this. It would be great if we could study it."

"If you want, Ms. Heidi, you can stay in the territory for research. Our lord will definitely welcome you."

Brook knew Luo Ling's plan very well, so he offered to invite him.

Heidi felt a little regretful, "I still have a job, so it's impossible to stay. It's such a pity."

"Come over when you're on leave from patrol, ma'am."

Captain Enoch coughed lightly, jokingly said, "It's not appropriate for Mr. Bell to poach a wall in front of me."

Although this is the first human territory they have entered, there is no need to explore everything. It is only reasonable to bring the six orphans back.

Soon, a group of them arrived at the core area of ​​the territory.

Originally thought that this territory might be a representative of dirty and messy, but never expected that the planning of the core area is very complete, with straight roads, and the farmhouses are neatly arranged, without any garbage or filth.

Even the lord's small garden is well-maintained, and there are many first- and second-order plants rich in magic power. Although the whole territory is sparsely populated, it is still full of vitality.

Brook came to a young man and said respectfully, "My lord, the elf patrol has arrived."

Heidi, Edgar, and Enoch all set their sights on this handsome and extraordinary human being. He doesn't seem to be too strong, but he has a natural aura that makes people feel close to him, which makes everyone feel good about him preconceived.

Luo Ling stood up and came to the group of elves, and he said to Brook, "Thank you for your hard work, please sit down and rest for a while, we will have dinner right away."

"Captain Enoch, nice to meet you." Luo Ling didn't know what etiquette to use to deal with these elves, whether to shake hands or what.

The elf Enoch, who was the leader, took the lead and bowed slightly, his movements were so weak that ordinary people might not be able to see it at all.

"It's our honor to come to Oak Territory." Enoch replied politely, "It's getting late, we need to bring Emilia and Vera back to the nearby town as soon as possible."

"It's too dangerous to travel at night, and the blood moon will appear soon, and it may be very dangerous for you under the siege of beast hordes." Luo Ling pointed to the bonfire not far away: "We have prepared food, why not eat here Eat, rest overnight and leave tomorrow morning?"

Although the elves are powerful one by one, the beast swarm is not a joke. The ants kill the elephants.

In fact, Vera didn't want to leave quickly, she wanted to see what was so strange about this territory, so she also persuaded: "Captain Enoch, Emilia and the others are very tired from running around all day today, let's meet again at night." If you’re on the road, you might not be able to bear it.”

Heidi was also curious about the territory, and begged, "Captain, it's really not safe for the blood moon at night."

Now that he has said that, Enoch is not willing to go his own way. He is also worried about the safety of the elf children, and he is not as easy to deal with the beast tide as he and others.

"Then we will bother the lord for one night, and I hope we don't bother you."

"No trouble, I just want to talk to Captain Enoch about something, is it convenient?"

Vera, Violet, and Bernie have never left the village, so they don't have much information and can only know some general things.Therefore, Luo Ling wanted to chat with the captain of the patrol team, exchange information with each other, and even cooperate at other levels.

From the attitude of these elves, Luo Ling can judge that they have no malice towards him, which means that there is a certain basis for cooperation.

If he can do business with some forces of the elves, then he can completely become an intermediary party, communicating between players and elves.

God knows how many good things these people of the elves have!

Enoch nodded. He also wanted to ask Luo Ling about something in private, and the two hit it off.

"Let's go to the oak grove to chat, and give them some fertilizer by the way."

There are a lot of people here, and some things are not suitable for many people to know.

As the captain of the patrol, Enoch certainly knew the most basic information about Lorraine, knowing that he was a druid.Then going to the oak forest is actually like going to the temple of druids.

At this time, the oak saplings have already sprouted and grown, the tallest ones are as high as knees, and the speed of climbing is comparable to that of bamboo shoots after rain.

Luo Ling very much hoped that among these ordinary oak saplings, a mutated or advanced oak tree would emerge. Currently, each oak sapling can bring him 0.02 experience points, which is twice as much as before.

Mingren didn't speak dark words, and after they came to the oak forest, the two people's superficially friendly attitudes were restrained.

"Your Excellency Enoch, actually I have the biggest question. You elves should have known about the existence of our territories for a long time, right? Why haven't you taken any action?"

This question has been pressing in Luo Ling's mind, if you don't ask it, it will be impossible, like a stick in your throat.

He had asked the magic mirror of mantra before, but the magic mirror didn't give any answer or response, it seemed that this question didn't exist.

Now is a great opportunity, so of course you have to ask clearly.

At first, it was such an explosive question, and it was completely unreasonable to play the cards. Usually, the situation is gradual and gradual!

Enoch complained a few words in his heart, and after carefully thinking about what can be said and what cannot be said, he said: "Before you appeared, we already knew these territories from the will of the World Tree. When you are suddenly summoned by the gods It was included in the scope of observation."

"World Tree requires us not to enter within five kilometers of your territory in a short period of time, unless there are special circumstances or invitations. The Elven King's Court asked us to ignore your human existence a long time ago, and we can contact you when necessary."

Luo Ling heard the subtext, the contact could be a violent invasion, or a peaceful visit, depending on the relationship between the two parties.

"What did the World Tree tell you?"

"That's right, in addition to the will of the World Tree, the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Nature have also issued oracles, so that we will not be enemies of human beings for the time being."

The legend of the elves on this continent was born through the World Tree. According to legend, the holy tree in the Elven King's Court was a fruit that sprouted and grew from the original World Tree.

It seems that before the arrival of the earth players, this game world is ready for the arrival of himself and others. No wonder so many people suddenly appeared without letting the aborigines crusade.

Luo Ling finally got some useful information, and he said with emotion: "So that's the case. What if you don't obey the oracle?"

"That's a betrayal of faith, unless one intends to change one."

"I know trolls have attacked territories like mine, didn't they get an oracle?"

As soon as the troll was mentioned, Enoch was full of contempt: "There is no god who is willing to accept such a green-skinned monster as a follower of the family. They believe in their ancestors, but the troll family did not ignite the divine fire back then. For the totem of their clan."

Even gods of chaotic evil alignment cannot gain the faith of trolls.

Luo Ning suddenly realized, and he took advantage of today to ask: "So do the elves know the blood moon? I have seen that under the light of the blood moon, the beast god altar summoned endless beasts. When will this blood moon end? Or Say you can destroy those altars?"

"We don't know much about the blood moon. We only know that it may be related to the gods. The oracle tells us not to approach the altar of the beast god. It may be that the beast god is seeking resurrection, and you humans need to face it yourself."

"Resurrection? Beast God is dead?" Luo Ling really didn't know this, even Brook, a legendary swordsman, didn't know about it.

The elves are indeed the living fossils of the mainland. Any captain of a patrol team knows so many things, which really helps Luo Ling a lot.

Enoch nodded, "About 3000 years ago, the Beast God couldn't wait to set off a war of gods as soon as he ignited the fire. Not only did he form an alliance with people in the kingdom of God, but his family of orcs also swept across the entire continent, and the creatures of the entire continent were forced to fight back. , and finally drove the orcs out of the Vana continent, but a considerable number of half-orcs remained."

"The beast god died in the battle of gods, but his godhead is still there. These altars that suddenly appeared now are likely to accumulate power for the resurrection of the beast god. If you can't stop it in time, a new continental war may start .”

"Then do you know how to destroy the Beast God Altar?"

Luo Ling does not intend to sit still, once the beast god is revived, the entire continent will become turbulent again, and it may not be wild beasts and monsters that will attack the territory, but orcs and half-orcs that have never been seen before!

Enoch said that there was nothing he could do, "We just used spells to see the altar from a distance, and we don't know how to destroy it. You humans have to figure it out by yourself."

Luo Ling connected the clues one by one in his mind. At the end of the novice period, the game system said that the main line of this chapter was the violent beast.

If I and others failed to destroy the Beast God Altar, then the main line of the next chapter is likely to be related to orcs, just like tower defense games, there will be different types of monsters on the scene.

Although he couldn't get any substantive information from the elves, Luo Ling at least had a hint of inspiration, and knew that the elves would not be hostile to the player's territory.

Of course, if some players want to use this to do bad things, then it is normal for them to be killed by the elves.

After he asked so many questions, Enoch became a little upset, and asked first: "I noticed that your territories will expand on a large scale at some point. Is it magic or divine art? And those arrow towers don't need Magic or spar can work automatically, what is the principle?"

"Sorry, I really want to answer your question, but I really don't know the answer." Luo Ling still hoped that someone could answer him.

"Where did so many of you come from? Why did you appear in our forest?"

Enoch couldn't understand it. These humans suddenly appeared in the forest, and they were not in a hurry to survive or gather together. Instead, they built houses, city walls, and arrow towers one by one, as if they wanted to use these places as long-term bases.

According to his thinking, if he and his tribe suddenly appeared in a strange place, the first thing to do would be to gather together and rely on the strength and wisdom of the group to solve the problem.

Luo Ling sighed: "We all come from a strange planet. I don't know why we were chosen. We all want to survive and try our best to survive. In fact, not only in the forest, but also in deserts, swamps, and snow fields. , plains, and islands."

The emotions of the two also became depressed. The elves naturally hoped that these humans could kill the dream of resurrecting the beast god in the cradle, but they were also worried that these humans' territories would grow larger and eventually surpass themselves.

"Your Excellency Captain, one last question. Our territory now has a lot of specialties. I would like to ask if we can trade with your elves?"

Enoch didn't answer, but instead asked, "What do you want in exchange?"

"It depends on what the elves have. The most basic ones are wood, stones, various ores or refined ores. The second is some exotic flowers and plants or food, fruits, vegetables, or artworks, jewelry, weapons, protective Those of A, high-end enchanting items, scrolls, job transfer certificates, skill books, various alchemy products, etc."

This covers everything, and you can even hire elves as guards or something.

"I can't make decisions about the transaction. I can only help you ask the managers of nearby towns. You can only make transactions if they agree."

The elves have lived here for thousands of years, and even lived a self-sufficient life after their relationship with humans deteriorated.It was hard for Enoch to imagine that Luo Ling, a human lord who had just arrived, could come up with something good to trade with the elves.

"Thank you, this has helped us a lot." Luo Ling doesn't expect to be able to trade immediately now, as long as he can get online.

It's true that I can't give the elves many powerful weapons or enchanting crystals, etc., but I can use spinning or silkworm reeling techniques to bring them unparalleled silk or other exquisite things.

These small items that can improve the standard of life may be more valuable in the eyes of elves.

If Luo Ling didn't know how to fire a kiln, maybe he would make some blue and white porcelain for them.

"Then how should I contact you? Can I exchange communication crystal balls with you with water spar? If that's not possible, exchange crystal boards are also fine."

Luo Ling urgently needs a set of communication tools that can be used with the aborigines, otherwise it would be too inconvenient.

Enoch hesitated for a few seconds, then took out a set of communication crystal plates from the belt package, "This set of communication crystal plates is for you, thank you for taking the risk to rescue the six elf children, each of them is very important."

The fertility of the elves is extremely low, and an elf couple may only raise one child for thousands of years.

There were only six underage high elves in that small village for so many years. It is conceivable how low the overall fertility rate is. It is estimated that those in the Elven King's Court have long been worried about the future.

"Thank you, this communication crystal board is too important to our territory." Luo Ling didn't take it for nothing, he took out three second-order water attribute crystals and a silk scarf from his package and handed them over, "I know how to communicate The price of the crystal plate must be higher than this spar, I hope you can accept it."

There are too few special products in the territory, Silkworm Baby's silk scarves are one of them, but unfortunately, the output cannot be increased.

Enoch doesn't have much feeling for crystal stones, but he likes this silk scarf very much. Crystal silkworms are very rare in the wild, and there are basically no elves raising silkworms to reel silk, let alone weave it into such a shape.

And it's not just good-looking and amazing to the touch, it's also fire-resistant and insect-resistant.

[Communication crystal board: a short-distance communication tool, which can be used by four people, and the longest call distance is 100 kilometers. 】

As mentioned earlier, the communication crystal board can only communicate with text, but the communication crystal ball can only communicate with images remotely.

Four people is actually quite a lot. Unfortunately, the distance is only 100 kilometers at most, and there will be no signal any further.

Luo Ling very much hopes that he can open similar tools in the treasure chest.

The two exchanged news. Basically, Luo Ling got more and had a more complete understanding of the world.

Now he is hesitating whether he should make public the news that the aborigines will not take the initiative to attack the player's territory for the time being!
