Elf Archer of Life in Another World

Nian Nian was looking at Dion who was also shocked and speechless. Suddenly someone touched her elbow. She turned around and saw nearly a hundred unknown faces. She rubbed her brows and carefully looked at this deep forest.

A remote tribe's bonfire.

"Didn't you say there was danger?"

Sanchi Shui's silly voice sounded behind her head.

Looking at the lively crowd around the bonfire and the blonde girl with flying skirt, Nian Nian only felt that he was the stupid one who was gritting his teeth a few seconds ago.

Those humanoid creatures without pointed ears that laughed loudly, and the elegant fellow creatures that walked calmly among them, made Dion and Niannian feel that they had gone to the wrong entrance to the village.

Even the other members of the well-informed Christmas Clown Mercenary Group were disconnected and reconnected in an instant. Only then could they clearly see the happy scene of humans and elves in front of them, and fell into endless questions.

.

Aren’t elves—especially non-player elves—very xenophobic?

Is their mercenary group's experience of sneaking around and hiding in the Emerald Forest for so many years all an illusion?

Are those grievances felt when being driven away and attacked by the elven natives but unable to fight back all fake?

Could it be that in the short two months since they left Gaia, the three races suddenly reached an agreement on peaceful coexistence?

Is the entire Jesus Forest open to the public?

The expressions of the members of the Christmas Clown Mercenary Group were dull, and the Chinese players who had just entered the Gaia continent were even more confused. They didn’t know why this lively and joyful scene surprised these weirdos who usually looked down on everyone, but they didn’t know.

Where to start.

The leader of the weirdos, Nick, reacted indifferently. He blew a sharper whistle, put on a smile, and harmoniously blended into the noise around the campfire. This also made the more than twenty human players in the tribe discover that they were huddled in the forest at some point.

More than a hundred strangers from a foreign land.

I have to say that the sight of these strangers standing by the hut looking blankly was a bit funny.

A burst of laughter immediately erupted beside the bonfire. Several tall armored knights dropped the wine glasses in their hands, stood up with red faces, and loudly greeted everyone to join in the fun. When they approached, they stepped forward and pretended to pull.

Hands of every year.

Dion took a step sideways, gently grabbed the man's wrist, said thank you for the hospitality, raised his hand and pushed, the armored man took a few steps back, looked intently at Qi Youfeng who was standing in front of Nian Nian, haha

He apologized with a smile, stumbled back to the campfire, and loudly sang a love song about a hero and a beauty.

"liom an rud andearma mé dearmadair.(I remembered something I forgot before.)"

Nick, who had been squinting his eyes every year, scanned the grass huts in the tribe as he moved around, and said softly.

Sanchishui rubbed his ears, then looked at Qi Youfeng, who was expressionless, and felt that he didn't understand either.

"Me too. Why don't you send him a message? Alex is much more reasoo you. (I also remembered it, why don't you contact him? After all, Alexander should be more tolerant to you.)"

Dion replied with a smile, turned around and said to Sister Wu, Young Master Yan and others, "It's up to you." Without waiting for anyone to reply, he walked into the small tribe and saluted the oncoming elves.

"Everyone, let's take a rest. These people really don't seem to be bad people, but it's best not to disturb the children in the hayloft."

After being reminded by Dion every year, he remembered to activate simultaneous interpretation. After giving a casual reminder, he pulled Qi Youfeng into the nearest low thatched shed. After a while, a white light came out from the gap in the roof of the thatched shed.

, flying towards the dense forest to the south.

It is probably due to the blessing of the gods that despite being surrounded by snow-capped mountains to the east and the sea to the south, the Forest is truly a warm and fertile land with constant summer.

Every winter, after the wind and snow cover the dwarf hills in the north, it will turn into a continuous drizzle, dyed into golden threads by the sunlight, and evenly water every corner of the forest.

Even the heavy rains in the rainy season and the hot winds in the dry season on the Gaia continent seemed to be coordinated, but a dark cloud blew in, a burst of thunder, and the pouring rain mixed with lightning fell. After a while, the clouds cleared and the rain cleared.

It's another warm and sunny day.

The reason why everyone thinks that the Jesus Forest is blessed by the gods is because the lightning in this sky has never struck down a branch or ignited a dead leaf.

The elves have very low requirements for living conditions. They do not need to cook in the stove, nor do they want to destroy the trees too much. Therefore, their residences look very dilapidated and crude in appearance. In such a remote small tribe, there are only

A small circle of pointed straw huts.

The straw shed will also be renovated from time to time. Just return the withered leaves to the earth and re-pave them with a layer of bright green and wide leaves.

They often have no doors or windows. When night falls, lying inside, you can still see the twinkling stars among the leaves.

The hut was not too tall, so Qi Youfeng had to bend down and walk when he got in. He couldn't walk a few steps before he bumped into the branches woven into the wall and kicked a few heavy stones.

"Be careful, don't step on anyone." Niannian quickly grabbed him and pointed out to him the dozen or so small figures huddled together.

Not far from the hut was a large bonfire. The sparse leaves on the walls of the hut could not block much of the firelight, but these little elves still found the only bit of darkness and hid themselves inside.

Nian Nian squatted on the ground and took off her hood. When the children saw her appearance, they relaxed a lot and timidly called her sister.

"Why are you here by yourself? Where are your parents?"

Nian Nian asked softly, holding the hand of one of the elves, and felt a shiver when he touched the deep marks on her wrist.

"I don't know, but the humans who sent us back said that the brothers and sisters here can take care of us." A delicate child's voice sounded, which sounded a little hollow to Qi Youfeng.

"Did those humans outside send you back?" Nian Nian pointed to the bonfire.

"We are all sent back by those humans. We come from six different tribes, but they have all disappeared, and our relatives are no longer here, so we were arranged to be sent here together." A childish voice sounded a little mature.

replied.

"You...were..."

Nian Nian hesitates, not knowing whether it is appropriate to ask these children directly.

"We were all captured by humans and raised as slaves."

It was still the mature child who answered. He crawled to Nian Nian's side using his hands and feet. The firelight reflected on his face through the gaps in the hay shed, allowing Qi Youfeng to see clearly the black whip marks that had not yet healed.

"We are not very valuable, so no one has ever bought them. There are also others in those huts that have been bought by others. We should be more obedient and beautiful."

The noise outside the hut disappeared in an instant. Qi Youfeng looked at the few Elf children who had the courage to crawl in front of Nian Nian and lowered his head unbearably. Their slender and twisted limbs and hideous wounds were still there.

appear in front of my eyes.

He finally understood where the rift between the players from the three races on this continent came from, and why Nian Nian and others were so surprised just now.

Even if the humans do not hate the elves, it may be difficult for the elves to welcome the humans into their territory calmly.

The six disappeared tribes were all a blood debt. The bodies of these children who were only six or seven years old were mutilated to this extent. What kind of torture did those beautiful children who were bought mean?

Nian Nian smiled gently, but also had some indifference after seeing them. He hugged them and said softly:

"You are all good kids and everything will be fine."

"Will you buy us away? Buy us away." The girl who spoke first begged.

The mature boy nodded solemnly to Nian Nian: "I saw that you brought a lot of humans, and we are obedient. Can you let them buy us all? Otherwise, this tribe will disappear."

Nian Nian was speechless for a moment and could only reply: "The people I brought here are all good people. I will not betray this tribe. Don't worry."

The children did not seem to relax their vigilance. The little elves huddled in the darkness gently curled up, and the ones close to Nian Nian no longer spoke, but proved their obedience with their silence.

"Nian Nian," Qi Youfeng thought for a moment and turned off simultaneous interpretation, "Are there many such things?"

"There are many, many tribes where the players are naturally not subject to this threat, but there are many native tribes in the Jace Forest, and there are always corners that cannot be taken care of. Moreover, there is no way to completely solve this problem.

Question." Nian Nian sighed and replied in Chinese.

In other words, these are inevitable sacrifices, established rules in this world that players cannot yet break.

Naturally, there is peace on the surface among the three tribes, but there are also secret battles, there are condemnations written on documents, and there is also malice signed on orders. There are so many missions that come from this, and there are so many mission background stories.

.

For the players, these are the background stories, and for the elven residents of the native tribe, this is their destiny.

But over time, this has become the fate of the elves as a whole, and even the fate of all the players in Gaia. After all, the players are also fighting, and the blood they shed is slowly increasing.

The reason why a group with three races, such as the Christmas Clown Mercenary Group, is an anomaly is because many players cannot forgive a member of the same race who is friends with the enemy, nor can they wholeheartedly accept a friend who has persecuted a member of the same race.

"So, are there many such things today?" Qi Youfeng pointed at the human players who seemed to be receiving courtesy by the campfire.

"I have lived here for so long, and I have never heard of such a good thing. Today is the first time I see it." Nian Nian shook his head, still unable to hide the disbelief in his tone.

Qi Youfeng lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying, "I don't think hatred can be easily resolved."

"I think so too. In fact, the only ones who are truly happy here should be those humans who have become heroes."

Nian Nian hugged the child who was clutching her fingers tightly and looked outside the hut. She looked at a member of the same race with a stiff smile for a moment, and saw a flash of disgust in his eyes when he was toasted by a certain mage.

"But humans were let in and these children were sent back. Even if these elves were unwilling, they welcomed them and allowed them to party and revel here."

Qi Youfeng also turned to look outside and saw Dion who had just emerged from another hut.

"There is hope for peace, which is a good thing." Nian Nian commented lightly.

"Why do I think you're not happy?" Qi Youfeng raised his eyebrows.

"Maybe the surprise came too suddenly." Nian Nian lowered his head, smiled at the child in his arms, and said softly.

"Nian Nian, actually," Qi Youfeng walked to her and sat down, his fingertips brushing her frown, "you don't want the three races to live in peace, do you?"
