Game of the World Tree - Chapter 175

175. Chapter 175 The Dark Dwarf’s Doubts

“I didn’t expect the players to attract the attention of the Dark Dwarfs so quickly.”

Eve was a little surprised.

However, this also means that the Dark Dwarfs’ settlement is probably not far from here…

“It seems that the Dark Dwarfs’ map may also be opened.”

He thought about it and temporarily turned on the language blocking function for the Tomato Fried Tomato team, blocking words related to the World Tree, Yggdrasil, etc. that are easy to expose their true bodies.

Although the players have accepted the setting of keeping the goddess’ true identity secret, God knows if there will be players with brain cramps, so it is better to be cautious.

Of course, it is only the language conversion that is blocked.

The players are summoned to the world of Segos, but they actually speak Chinese, but… As the initiator of controlling the connection between the player’s consciousness and body, Eve can do something to the player’s body.

Although the players think they are speaking Chinese, in fact, after they open their mouths, they will automatically convert to the local language of the world of Segos, and vice versa.

This local language is Elvish by default, but players can also adjust it in the language system to the common language used by the various races in the world of Segos to communicate.

For example, when communicating with the orcs, they use the common language.

Although for the players, they feel that they are all speaking Chinese, and feel that the language system made by the game officials is a bit inexplicable, but it is also quite exciting to accept it.

And blocking is actually turning off the “translation” of related words. Players will speak Chinese directly, and the natives will naturally not understand.

Of course, players can also learn the spelling of the local language by themselves. In that case, even if they don’t use the system language conversion, even if it is blocked, they will be able to write out the text…

But… Which gamer will have a brain twitch and spend a lot of effort to learn a messy language that is probably just made up by the game officials?

In addition to the god of learning Cuckoo…

Well, the mage players who want to learn the magic circle will also learn it, but they are more likely to learn the runes in the Elvish language and copy it.

In addition to some language functions, Eve also blocked the sacrifice before one of the players was about to draw the sacrificial magic circle, and informed the players with a system notification message.

The general meaning is that the players have officially entered the underground world, and the sacrificial array is temporarily prohibited from being used, and it will be lifted when they return to the ground…

There are also believers of the God of Death here, and if the players use the sacrificial array carelessly, they will be exposed.

The “First Legion” didn’t know that they had just been blocked by the beloved goddess.

Although the sudden system message that the underground is prohibited from sacrificing was a bit surprising, it was just a bit surprising.

They have already exchanged fire with these ferocious giant scorpions.

These players are all good at field battles. Just luring out three giant scorpions, even if it is a black iron-level monster, did not cause them to panic.

After many days of fighting, they are no longer the rookies who just entered the game. They are already familiar with this kind of group fight with monsters. It’s just that the species of monsters have changed, and it’s a bit more troublesome to test the opponent’s attack mechanism and weaknesses.

The mages prepared their fireballs. With the Spider Queen Rose in front, they already knew that for most of the monsters underground, fire and light magic had the highest lethality…

The melee players surrounded the giant scorpion that was attracted, roaming around to attack, retreating after attacking, and then attacking again, cooperating perfectly.

Even Eve couldn’t help but sigh that the players’ progress was really rapid…

In fact, it’s normal to think about it.

For the players, this is just a game, and the biggest psychological obstacle that the recruits need to overcome – fear – is gone.

Then, they can lower the pain and be resurrected, which in turn improves their bravery and tolerance.

Therefore, after dying a few more times, the players’ combat literacy is still growing quite rapidly.

This also makes Eve more and more satisfied, and she feels that it doesn’t seem far away to create a “Scourge” that will make other true gods tremble.

On the other side, the short existence that had been secretly spying on the players in the hidden cave also walked along the narrow cave dug by man. When he finally walked out of the cave, he actually came to a small town made of rocks!

The whole town was built with black rocks, with a rough style. It looked solemn and murderous under the illumination of the fluorescent stone on the top of the underground cave.

And the dwarves wearing rough dark brown linen clothes and dark skin were carrying pickaxes or carrying goods on their heads, coming and going in the town…

This… is a city of dark dwarves!

The dark dwarves who seemed to be scouts shuttled all the way, greeting other dark dwarves they knew in the town, and came to the most solemn three-story stone building in the center of the town without stopping…

“What? You said you saw a team of elven mercenaries who were probably from the surface? There were hundreds of them?”

In the hall of the stone building, an old dwarf listened to the scout’s report with a stunned look.

Compared to the common dark dwarves, he was short and stocky, but had a long beard, dark skin, and no hair on his head.

The old dwarf looked at the dwarf scout who was reporting in front of him, and a trace of speechlessness flashed across his face:

“Iron Hammer, have you drunk too much beer? This is the Underdark, where do the elves come from? And there are hundreds of them… mercenaries?”

The elves are so sensitive, how could they be mercenaries so openly? And there are hundreds of them!

Although there are long-eared people who hide their identities and become mercenaries on the continent, they are all exceptions!

Not to mention… why would elves run to the Underdark?

The old dwarf didn’t believe it at all.

“Really! Grandpa Balin, I will never be wrong! Pointed ears, tall, and very good-looking, they must be elves! They are over there in the Dark Forest!”

The dwarf scout called Iron Hammer said with a red face.

“Impossible!”

The old dwarf shook his head:

“The Dark Forest is full of monsters. Although it is close to the entrance to the surface, there is a terrifying giant spider guarding it. Without our guidance, the creatures on the surface cannot come down.”

“Really! Grandpa Balin! I can swear to the God of Death that I am definitely not mistaken! They really are a group of elves! The armor on them looks great, much more exquisite than those in the human world, and it feels like their craftsmanship is no worse than ours. They are definitely elves without a doubt.”

Tiechui drew a symbol on his chest that symbolized the God of Death and the Lord of the Underworld.

Swear to the god of death…

After hearing his words, the old dwarf was stunned and his expression became more serious.

In the world of Segos where the true God is supreme, swearing to the god of faith is the most severe oath, and no intelligent creature dares to play tricks on this matter.

“Do they have the same hair color?”

The old dwarf asked.

“Inconsistent, there are all kinds of colors…”

Tiechui shook his head.

“Inconsistent…”

The old dwarf frowned and breathed a sigh of relief.

“So, it’s not an elf tribe that was forced to migrate underground. Fully armed, are they really mercenaries? But how did they get down? What are they doing down here?”

“If you don’t believe it… You can also go and see, they are fighting giant scorpions over there!”

Tiechui said again.

After hearing his words, the old dwarf was slightly stunned:

“Fighting giant scorpions? How did they fight that kind of monster?”

“It seems that an elf mistakenly entered the mushroom forest in the dark forest and was eaten by those giant scorpions, and then the other elves attacked in anger, and the fight was fierce!”

The old dwarf:…

“Are they very strong? Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the human gods and the god of war cast a racial curse on them, so didn’t their strength fall to black iron?”

he asked again.

Tiechui scratched his head:

“I didn’t investigate carefully, but I feel that their strength is not particularly strong. They seem to be still at the lower level of Black Iron.”

The old dwarf: …

A group of elves at the lower level of Black Iron are going to provoke the giant scorpion at the upper level of Black Iron. Are they crazy?

Balin admitted that the silver culture and forging technology of the elves are absolutely the best in the whole continent.

Even after a thousand years, other races in the continent of Segos cannot surpass them.

Even the dwarves who are good at forging can only barely keep up with them in ordinary forging, and higher-level magic equipment is slightly worse…

But civilization is civilization, and forging technology is forging technology. These do not represent the combat effectiveness of the race.

Under the same level of strength, the elves are famous for their weak combat effectiveness.

In the past, when they had not fallen in rank, the elves could have relied on a higher starting point, better equipment and hard power to crush, but now is not the past…

And… For a dead tribe member, sacrifice more tribe members?

Is it worth it?

No wonder these long-eared people are getting worse and worse…

He shook his head, thought for a while and said:

“Take me to see.”

He was still very curious about the elves.

The dark dwarves were not good people, but the elves were different…

They were a typical race that was famous throughout the continent for being naive, stubborn and easy to deceive, and they were very harmless. If it was really them, the old dwarf would not mind in-depth exchanges. He had always been very yearning for some of the elves’ manufacturing techniques.

Under the leadership of the dwarf hammer, the old dwarf Balin quickly followed the excavated tunnel to the place where he had monitored the players.

As soon as he arrived here, Balin saw the players fighting the giant scorpion through the small hole dug in the tunnel.

It must be said… The First Legion was indeed experienced.

The three monsters were not their dishes at all, even the black iron ones. After paying the price of the death of five players, the First Legion also annihilated them.

Considering that the sacrificial array cannot be used, it seems that these giant scorpions have nothing good except their pincers and stingers…

So when killing the giant scorpions, the players set the “experience value acquisition” to 100%, leaving no spoils, and the entire giant scorpion was drained of vitality by the “war sacrifice” and turned into ashes…

Looking at the large amount of experience points received in the status bar, the players’ eyes became eager.

The experience points provided by this giant scorpion are so high!

There is a reason for this. The living environment in the underground world is much worse than that on the ground. The vitality of the monsters that can survive here is generally much stronger.

And the “war sacrifice” instinct that Eve gave to the player’s body relies on absorbing vitality!

In addition, this time the players did not choose to leave the spoils, but absorbed 100% of the experience points.

So… the data received was unexpected, which is too normal.

Although five players died, the players basically figured out the combat mode of the giant scorpion.

So, they all got excited, panting, and continued to excitedly attract monsters to fight…

And what the old dwarf saw was that after the players killed the giant scorpion, they threw a few fireballs into the mushroom forest, which attracted five giant scorpions and fought with them.

The old dwarf was stunned by the excitement and anticipation, as well as the irrepressible happy expressions that could be seen from a long distance.

This group of elves…

what’s going on?

It doesn’t look like they are fighting for revenge?
