Game of the World Tree - Chapter 224

224. Chapter 224 Rushed out unconsciously

“I am…”

Anders was about to answer, but after seeing the interested eyes of the elves around him, he held back the words he had prepared, and said honestly:

“We are the retainers of the Border Earl of the Holy Manya Empire. This time… we were fortunate to be summoned by the Black… Lord Dragon to help him transport livestock, but we didn’t expect to meet mercenaries on the way back…”

“They knew the existence of Lord Dragon, so they set their sights on the dragon… Really… It’s really not our instigation!”

“Border Earl?”

“Holy Manya Empire?”

The players looked at each other.

The Demacia who came up to him had his eyes lit up, and said quickly:

“I know this! I heard that he returned recently…”

“Ahem…”

Li Mu coughed twice.

Demacia: …

He held back the word “elf” and laughed dryly:

“I heard from the returning NPC that it is the human empire in the north, and the Border Earldom is the human territory closest to the Elf Forest.”

“So that’s it!”

“New map! This is the new map of the future!”

“Are we finally going to come into contact with human society?!”

After hearing what Demacia said, the players around were excited.

Anders was slightly stunned when he saw the excited elves around him.

Hmm?

Don’t they know about the empire?

The Holy Manya Empire is the most powerful human kingdom on the continent of Segos, and it is also the center of the Eternal Church. Its reputation is known from the southern continent to the Arctic Icefield.

How could these elves… not have heard of it?

Not to mention, the Holy Manya Empire is the first buyer of elf slaves!

While Anders was puzzled, Li Mu asked again:

“How far is the Border Earldom from here?”

Anders said with a stiff face:

“Follow this road, continue to the northeast, and walk more than 50 kilometers to reach the border of the empire. If you want to reach the nearest city, you may have to walk dozens of kilometers more…”

After listening to Anders’ words, Li Mu flipped through the system’s small map.

If it is according to what the other party said, then the straight-line distance between the Border Earldom and the center of the map is probably 400 kilometers. Even the Black Dragon Castle at the edge is probably more than 100 kilometers!

This is almost 100 kilometers beyond the maximum range of the map…

Seeing that Li Mu fell into silence, Anders was uneasy, but still asked carefully:

“That… Lord Mu? Do you… do you have any other questions? If not… can you let us go? We… we are just some poor villagers.”

Li Mu remained silent.

Anders was even more scared.

He thought for a moment and said again:

“Are you worried that we will leak what happened here when we go back? Don’t worry! We will keep our mouths shut. If…if you don’t believe it, we can swear to the true God we believe in!”

“How strong is the Border Earl?”

Just when Anders was feeling uneasy, Li Mu asked again.

The strength of the Border Earl?

Anders was slightly stunned.

Then, when he saw the expectant eyes of the elves around him, his heart suddenly skipped a beat…

Wait…

These elves…

are they going to set their sights on the Earl’s territory? !

Anders’ face turned pale in an instant.

Considering what the elves did to the mercenaries just now, it’s really possible!

However, his life was more important. After struggling for a while, Anders still said honestly:

“Lord Earl…Lord Earl is a Paladin of the Gold Rank, and one of the seven electors of the Empire. He is very powerful… In addition, Lord Earl also has an independent knight group, and there are 100 knights of the Silver Rank alone…”

These news are not secrets in the border.

At least… if you want to find out, you can find out.

So, Anders answered very frankly.

After he answered the question, the elves’ reactions were somewhat unexpected:

“Fuck!”

“Fuck!! “

“I can’t afford to offend… I can’t afford to offend…”

“Gold rank? 100 Silver? Isn’t this too buggy?”

Hmm?

Could it be… these elves are not as powerful as he imagined?

Anders’ heart moved.

However, before he could have any small thoughts, the elves’ next words made him shudder:

“Why don’t we kill these people? It would be bad if they retaliated…”

Anders:…

“Don’t! We promise not to tell anyone! We promise not to tell anyone!”

He was horrified.

However, Li Mu waved his hand:

“Untie them and let them go.”

The players were a little hesitant.

Seeing the players’ hesitation, Li Mu quickly typed in the team channel to explain:

“The Border Earl’s Territory is outside the map. Since these human NPCs are from there, they may really be able to activate the subsequent plots and even open new maps!”

“Killing them will only give us a few hundred experience points. It’s useless to lock them up, and it’s a waste of food. It’s better to let them go.”

“As for the possibility of revenge by humans… Isn’t that better? It’s just right to give us experience and equipment! If there is really an enemy that we can’t beat, we have the God’s Blessing, so we can summon the incarnation of the goddess!”

After reading Li Mu’s explanation, the players were stunned.

Yes…

That’s the truth.

If you can beat them, they come, and if you can’t beat them, just find the goddess!

Anyway… With the goddess as a thigh, she won’t let anyone really take down her nest, right?

Thinking of this, the players didn’t object.

In the past few months of the game, Li Mu’s inferences about NPC behavior and plots have hardly made any mistakes, and he has become a recognized big shot in “Elf Kingdom”. In this regard… No one is more convincing than his judgment.

After the discussion, the players untied the dozen humans:

“Go! Go!”

Anders was overjoyed, as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly fled with a dozen of his men, fearing that the elves would regret it.

After letting these humans go, the players continued to clean up the battlefield and even began to draw sacrificial arrays, preparing to sacrifice some of the scraps they picked up…

“Border Lord?”

Eve thought thoughtfully as she watched Anders and others fleeing in a hurry from the player’s perspective.

This time, He did not take advantage of the players’ capture of humans to guide the plot, expand the map, or issue new tasks…

Next, the players need to deal with the war of faith with the orcs, and the map expansion on the human side can be put aside for the time being…

After all, once they come into contact with humans, it means that they will be involved with more true gods, and with the current strength of the players, Eve does not think that they can fight against humans who are much stronger than the orcs.

In addition… the gods believed in by humans are the most powerful enemies of the former World Tree!

At present, Eve is not ready to confront them directly, nor can she directly send out the incarnation of the true god to enter the sphere of influence of the human gods to fight against them…

Of course, as Li Mu said, if humans really send an army to attack the black dragon and the elves again, He is not afraid, and even welcomes it.

After all, Eve has not exposed herself yet, and if someone really comes to attack the black dragon and the elves, it is probably because they are tempted by the black dragon’s treasure and the elves, and it does not mean a conflict between the elves and human forces.

Unlike active attacks, in a defensive battle, Eve is not afraid of anyone in her own territory.

If the player cannot beat them, then lure them into her own divine domain and wipe them out…

So, Eve has no objection to letting these people go.

While the players were cleaning up the battlefield, the black dragon Myriel also flew back to the Black Dragon Castle.

As soon as it returned to the castle, it saw Xiao Xianmao rushing over from the teleportation array after resurrection.

Of course, at this moment, Xiao Xianmao’s gold suit is gone, and it has become a purple epic black iron mid-level mage suit.

Seeing the returning black dragon, Xiao Xian Miao smiled:

“Wow! You’re back so soon?”

Myriel didn’t say anything, but stared at her with wide eyes, motionless, which made Xiao Xian Miao feel uneasy:

“What…what’s wrong?”

“Nothing…”

Xiao Hei Long muttered, turned his head away, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

It hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xiao Xian Miao again, and asked casually:

“Your resurrection…has no side effects?”

“Of course not! We are the chosen ones chosen by the goddess, look! I’m in great shape!”

Xiao Xian Miao showed off her muscles to Myriel and smiled slightly.

Faintly, she saw that Myriel seemed to be relieved.

Then, the little black dragon took out a bunch of golden legendary equipment from under his body, and then threw it to the elf girl:

“Here, your equipment, I brought it back for you.”

Xiao Xianmao’s eyes lit up, and he took it happily:

“Wow! Thank you! It’s not in vain to raise you for so many days!”

Myriel:…

“What a pity, it’s stained with blood and needs to be washed first.”

Holding the golden legendary robe brought back by Myriel, Xiao Xianmao sighed with some regret.

Then, she looked at the black dragon again, squinting her eyes and smiled:

“By the way… I remember that before I died, I saw you rushing over angrily. Was it for me?”

Myriel:…

It turned away the dragon head and said stiffly:

“Humph! How could the noble Myriel be angry because of such a small matter? Myriel knows that you will be resurrected! You are just Myriel’s servant! Myriel… is just for barbecue.”

“Don’t worry! There will definitely be barbecue! You’ve worked hard this time!”

Xiao Xianmao smiled and comforted.

However, after hearing what Xiao Xian Miao said, Myrelle seemed to be a little depressed again.

After a moment of silence, Myrelle said in a muffled voice:

“Actually, it wasn’t for the barbecue… Myrelle didn’t know why, when I saw you being killed, although I knew you would be resurrected, my body rushed out unconsciously…”

Hearing this, Xiao Xian Miao was slightly startled.

Thanks to Fang Gao and Qi Leqi for the 100-point reward!
