"I thought the elves would eventually perish. It seems that I was too pessimistic. ()" Tam stretched out his right hand and gently pulled the corner of his robe. His hand was slender and beautiful, with white skin. almost transparent. Such a complexion indicates that the elf is very old or in poor physical condition, but it doesn't seem to tell how fragile he is from his expression. He even used his right hand to straighten his hair before saying, "There really is no such thing in this world."
Ye Ci was a little unclear about Tamra's words, and continued to ask according to his words: "What happened?"
Tamra glanced at Ye Ci, and there was an overly sharp light in those green eyes, and this light finally dissipated in his vicissitudes of life smile: "This world will never change just because one person is missing. The sky is torn apart." Having said this, he smiled a little sadly: "Even Dole is the same."
"Elf King Dole?" This is probably the first time Ye Ci heard this name directly and objectively from the mouth of an NPC. Compared with the infinite stream of consciousness when other NPCs talked about Dole, Ye Ci faintly felt that this tower Mura may not see the same thing as other NPCs.
"Yeah, the greatest hero and the greatest king in the history of the elf tribe, it brought together the elves of all races, and under his rule, the elves were unprecedentedly powerful, and they became the unparalleled power of any race on the Majia Continent. The race that dares to be underestimated, how great." When Tamra said these prestigious words, the expression on his face was so indifferent as if he was talking about a trivial matter, and even his voice had a kind of ancient well. Unwavering emptiness.
Ye Ci did not answer or speak. Because when Tamra said this, he kept looking at the dark cave wall. But his eyes seemed to be projected into the sky through the cave wall. He continued to say without anyone else: "I thought that after Dole died, the elves would completely perish, but now it seems that even without Dole, the elves will one day be rejuvenated and strong.
. I don't know if Dole hadn't died, wouldn't it be very sad to know that his ability is nothing more than this? "
When he said this, his eyes fluttered over Ye Ci, and the smile on his lips contained a kind of sadness that Ye Ci couldn't understand.
Then. The whole cave was silent, Tamra didn't speak, didn't even read Ye Ci, and just sang in a low voice.
This kind of situation is actually very common in fate. Especially in this kind of hidden trigger task is more common. Because the NPCs that issue these tasks are all high in AI. Therefore, after he tells a story, he will give the player a blank time, allowing the player to think about how to answer and deal with the NPC. Different follow-up quests are then issued based on the player's answer. This is why even if ten people do a hidden mission together, the final result will vary from person to person.
Ye Ci opened the task panel and found a task in the hidden task column: chat with Tamra. Under this task description, Ye Ci read all the conversations between himself and Tamra just now carefully again, and while watching, he seriously thought about how to deal with what Tamra just said.
After a while. She closed the task panel, and said to Tamra: "I'm just an ordinary elf. I can't know what I think about being the elf king Dole, but I think if I'm standing in Dole's position, I won't feel sad."
"Oh? Why?" Tamra squinted his eyes, and it seemed that at this time he officially turned his attention to Ye Ci, looking directly at her.
"The prosperity of the elf family has always been the wish of the elf king, whether he lives or dies. No one can say that he can influence a world, or a race, he has done what he should do in his time, and do When it's perfect, it's already excellent. As for what the elves will do without him, that's not what he worries about." Ye Ci smiled.
"How do you know he's not worried, don't you mean you can't know what he's thinking?" Tamra's eyes became sharper and he looked straight at Ye Ci.
Ye Ci was nervous, she just shrugged her shoulders and exhaled very easily: "Of course, of course, I can't know what he is thinking, I just think that the mind of a king is not comparable to us, so , picking up and letting go of these things really doesn't really matter to him."
Having said this, Ye Ci tilted his head and looked at Tamra with a smile: "Respected elder, I am not deep in the world, in fact, many things are very simple, maybe not right, please don't take offense.
. "
Tamra did not answer Ye Ci, but just looked at Ye Ci with a very strange look. He looked at Ye Ci for a while, then lowered his head and laughed in a low voice, "It's simple, be a human being. It just needs to be simpler, and it will be easier to gain strength.”
For such an interjection leaf word is not speaking.
And Tamra quickly raised his head, looked at Ye Ci and exhaled: "Young man, you are a smart adventurer, tell me, are there many people like you?"
Ye Ci saluted Tamra again and flattered him calmly: "Respected elder, intelligence and wisdom are the cells flowing in the blood of every elves, these things are not what I have. , given to me by my race, just as it was given to you."
In the world, there is no one who does not like to wear a high hat, and no one does not enjoy being flattered by others, even the yin and yang in front of Tamra is the same. Hearing Ye Ci flattering himself, there was a hint of warmth on his tense face. However, he didn't show any happiness or joy because of this, he just said lightly to Ye Ci: "Have you read my diary?"
"Yes." Ye Ci hurriedly handed the pieced diary to Tamra with both hands.
Tamra took the diary, and the beautiful fingers gently rubbed the surface of the diary, and the expression on his face became a little sad, as if the whole person was immersed in nostalgia for the past. After a while, he said: "When I was young, I was a rebellious and inferior guy, not only that. I was selfish and cowardly, pessimistic and callous. I missed so many things that I had already Can't remember. But, fortunately, the one thing I've done in my life that I don't regret the most is saving the stinging bee."
Ye Ci frowned slightly, and then realized who he was talking about: "Is the stinging bee you're talking about the elf who told you that Dole died?"
"Yes, I picked him up in the swamp, rescued him, and took good care of him, but in the end he died." Tamra raised his head and exhaled. Looking at Ye Ci: "Young man, I haven't left here for a long time, and I haven't seen him for a long time. Can you help me to see him?"
Ye Ci immediately opened the task panel. See that the name of the quest above has changed from "Chat with Tamra" to "Go to the Stinger's Graveyard". The exact location of the Stinger Graveyard is described in more detail below this quest. It seems that this is not a difficult task, just an errand task, Ye Ci agreed immediately
.
then. Tamra didn't say any more valuable information, just told Ye Ci to go back quickly, then lowered his head and hummed the song, no matter how Ye Ci accosted, he didn't answer. It seems that to get the next task, Ye Ci can only go to the graveyard of the stinging bee first. See what clues are there and come back.
left the cave. Ye Ci summoned Lao Liu, made him fly lower, and then jumped down from the hole, and Lao Liu jumped up and caught her firmly. Then Ye Ci raised the old sixth's message and flew towards the swamp of despair on the map prompted by the task.
The Swamp of Despair is located in the southwest of the Central Continent. It is not a very large map, but its location is very special. It was the ancient battlefield where the rebels and the Naga Legion had the most intense conflict. It was one of the maps that smoked over. Not only that, but this is the only map with water sources on the edge of the ancient battlefield, so it is also one of the most fierce battles between the Rebel Army and the Naga Legion.
Although many years have passed since the war, the traces of the war can still be seen here. The most obvious thing is that it used to be a lush green field with clear springs everywhere, but now it has become a swamp, and because of the huge magical influence of the Naga, the rebels and Naga minions who died here in those days. It has turned into floating corpses, water ghosts and wandering spirits in the swamp, turning a originally vibrant field into a lifeless swamp.
Hence the name Swamp of Despair.
The Swamp of Despair is a high-level map. The monsters in it are all above level 160. In the later stage, it is an excellent place for mages to form a team to burn monsters. Just because there are too many monster spawn points here, as long as you keep a small puddle and put a buff to lure the enemy, you can see the monsters crawling out of the puddle. Of course, it is also for this reason that this map has also become one of the forbidden areas for single players. The monsters that refresh too quickly are really not something that single players can resist.
Ye Ci sat on Lao Liu's back, parked over a puddle on the edge of the Swamp of Despair, and looked down at the map.
Unlike other map monsters wandering around, the monsters in the Swamp of Despair are silent until the player is not triggered, and they can't be seen at all if you don't pay attention.
The whimpering wind was blowing on the map of the Swamp of Despair, which sounded a little scary. Especially, looking at the bodies of the various rebels floating on their backs in the puddles, no matter how I looked at them, I felt that the hairs on their backs were about to stand up. They all have pale faces, lying on their backs in puddles, and the clear water covers their faces, young or old, but don't think that these corpses are harmless, in fact, they have been eroded by the powerful magic of Naga become a floating corpse
.
When the player is standing on the edge of the puddle, focusing on their corpses, the corpses will open their eyes and tempt you with harmless looks. Once the player is hit with the corpse "temptation" dbuff, the floating corpses will emerge from the water. The bottom bounces straight up, grabbing the player and dragging them into the water.
However, there are ways to deal with this kind of monster. If the player is far away from the water, even if the floating corpse opens its eyes and jumps out of the water, the player cannot be caught. As if right now, Ye Ci looked at the few floating corpses who jumped out of the water and wanted to catch her but couldn't do anything about it, and showed a hateful smile. She manipulated Lao Liu to spit out a dragon's breath towards those floating corpses, but found that the dragon's breath sprayed on them was all "miss". She finally gave up. Sure enough, such things as levels are insurmountable in online games. In the high mountains, the level difference is too large, and there is no way to do it in the sky-defying dragon.
At this point, Ye Ci has died to kill the monsters here and level up. Otherwise, she would ride Lao Liu around the swamp, lead a bunch of floating corpses to run out, and then let Lao Liu breathe fire, that's not it Explosive frequency of experience points? It seems that the game planning is not a fool, and this kind of bug will never exist.
Ye Ci sighed and could only honestly look for the stinging bee's grave.
As suggested in the quest, Stinger's tomb is buried north of the Swamp of Despair and borders the Blackened Fields. The Charred Wilderness is the place where Tamra once settled down in his diary, and it is also a map close to the ancient battlefield. However, because of some natural barriers, it used to be one of the most concentrated maps of the rebel refugees. It is also a high-level map. However, the level of monster distribution is slightly lower than that of the Swamp of Despair.
At the most terrifying time, there are high-level aerial monsters above these two maps, and the level higher than the old sixth is not a little bit. Ye Ci only dares to fly carefully along the edge of the map, holding his tail between his tail and being a human, to avoid Offending these bosses, he was directly resurrected into the Hero City prison.
In view of the experience of escaping in the previous life and the experience of surviving in the wild in this life, Ye Ci bypassed several flying monsters in the air, and quickly found the tomb of the stinging bee before they paid attention to him. She jumped off the back of the sixth, put away the sixth, and immediately entered the stealth state, found a relatively safe corner and looked around, confirming that the monsters were wandering far away from her. It was only then that he slowly came to the tomb of the stinging bee.
This is a very rudimentary tomb, not even built with soil, but with stones and branches. Now, due to the erosion of rain for a long time, half of the tomb has collapsed, and Ye Ci can even get out of the crevice of the collapsed tomb. Seeing some broken bones, and some scattered around the tomb, compared to the experience of the stinging bee, the tomb felt particularly desolate. (To be continued)
