Game of the World Tree - Chapter 287

287. Chapter 285: Untrusted Players

At the southwest border of Maple Leaf Territory, a group of people dressed as human caravans surrounded more than a dozen full carriages and hurriedly headed towards the Elf Forest…

Along the way, from time to time, members would leave the team and stay behind, draw their weapons, and volunteer to take on the rearguard work.

They were the players who had tricked the major black market chambers of commerce in Maple Leaf City.

In addition to those who couldn’t wait to commit suicide on the spot, there were nearly a hundred people escorting the rescued NPCs back.

Of course, this number is still gradually decreasing.

Because… the black market chambers of commerce that had discovered their whereabouts were chasing after the players, and they had to leave people behind from time to time to delay time so that the large army could continue to move forward with the indigenous NPCs that were like a burden.

At the front of the team.

Cuckoo Bird glanced at the location on the small map and frowned slightly:

“Didn’t we agree to teleport over to take a look? How did we attract all the enemies here?”

On the other side, Tomato Fried Tomato’s expression was also not very good.

It was the members of the First Legion who exposed the entire team, and he was the one who instructed them to go back and take a look.

As the guild master of the First Legion, he has to take the blame. Tomato

Stir-fried Tomato was silent for a moment, and said a little depressed:

“I emphasized it, and I also specifically told that buddy to change his clothes when he goes back, and let him teleport his monster first to see if it is safe. If the monster is fine, teleport it back to take a look, and then leave after taking a look…”

“But… those NPCs are too cunning, who knows that they have been ambushing near the teleportation array, and let go of the monsters that were teleported in advance, just waiting to catch them in the act…”

After hearing this, Cuckoo Bird sighed helplessly:

“Alas… we still underestimated the NPCs.”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, I have already notified Li Mu and the others, and asked them to quickly bring Myriel and El to support them. Moreover, since we have saved so many elves this time, maybe Zero and Alice will come too. As long as we hold on, we will be able to go back smoothly.”

On the other side, Xiao Xianmao encouraged everyone.

“The main reason is that there are too many people on the carriage, and the carriage is too slow. If we untie those elf NPCs and let them run together, our speed should be much faster. This carriage is not as fast as we run!”

Hulu, who was holding a whip and pretending to be a coachman, said on the carriage.

“Then you have to gain the trust of the NPCs first. These elves and half-elves have completely regarded us as slave traders.”

Xiao Xian Miao shook his head helplessly.

“What’s the matter? Take off our disguises and become elves to negotiate with them! Although we have been moving around in human appearance to prevent our identities from being exposed at the beginning, it is no longer necessary now!”

Hulu said again.

After hearing his words, Xiao Xian Miao became even more depressed:

“If that’s really the case, I just went there, but those NPCs didn’t believe that we were here to save them. Even if we restored our original appearance and told them about the goddess, they didn’t believe it…”

After hearing her words, everyone was speechless.

This is a very embarrassing thing.

They are obviously saving the elf NPCs, but these guys don’t believe their identities!

Of course, the first impression should be blamed.

You know, in order to reach a deal with the black market guild, players often did bad things or pretended to be slave traders.

At that time, all kinds of shameless behavior were completely like profiteers, not to mention the greedy and ignorant look when they were looking for equipment everywhere. At that time… the elf NPCs who were still controlled by humans had seen it many times.

More importantly, there were also elf NPCs who had seen players pretending to enslave elves in order to gain the trust of human traffickers!

德玛西亚那样的操作，在玩家里可不算罕见。

为了获得黑市商人的信任，为了有机会摸到装备，对玩家来说，捶背捏肩都是正常手法，当狗舔鞋都有人干的！

没错，说的就是德玛西亚这丫，那副贱贱的样子，连玩家们看了都想揍，更别说土著精灵了。

可以说，为了获取奴隶贩子的信任，玩家们却忽视了精灵的信任。

而精灵还是很团结的。

玩家们将他们救了出来，时间紧迫又全都塞到马车里，而精灵聚集起来一交流，玩家们的形象就在他们眼中树立起来了。

可以说……玩家们给他们的第一印象，就是一群奴役精灵的，侮辱精灵人格的，从南边过来黑吃黑的奴隶贩子。

毕竟……真正的精灵怎么可能那样做？

In addition, even if the players have gradually learned how to pretend to be an elegant elf, there are still loopholes in front of the real elves… No matter

how hard they pretend, they can’t pretend to be like a real elf, let alone imitate the elves’ arrogant and aloof temperament.

Therefore… the more they talk about their true identity, even if they take off their disguises, these stubborn people still don’t believe it.

These captured elves have seen all kinds of human methods and have long become frightened birds, suspicious and wary of everything.

This is very embarrassing…

More importantly, the players really have no way to prove their identities.

They can’t show the power of faith like priests, nor can they use the power of the goddess like the gods, so they have entered a dead end.

This reality makes many players depressed and almost vomit blood.

Of course, if they are given time to explain slowly, they should be able to gradually gain the recognition of the other party.

Time will tell the heart of the person!

But who knew that human forces would catch up so soon, leaving no time for the players to have in-depth communication with these indigenous elves…

Just when several people were feeling depressed, on the other side, the silent Hefan suddenly spoke:

“Untie them and give them weapons.”

“Untie them and give them weapons?”

Fried Tomato frowned:

“We haven’t gained the trust of these indigenous elves yet. Someone rescued them before and untied them, but they ran away. It took a lot of effort to catch them back…”

“Our mission is to send them back to the Elf Forest. If they run away, how can we complete the mission!”

“Besides, what if some indigenous elves make mistakes and turn around and rush towards the slave traders? These elf NPCs are all our mission targets!”

After hearing his words, Hefan still repeated:

“Untie them and give them weapons.”

But after speaking, he added:

“This is a chance to prove ourselves.”

Fried Tomato wanted to say something, but Hulu figured something out and his eyes lit up:

“That’s right! Untie the indigenous elves and give them weapons!”

“Since they still don’t believe we are saving them, then… if we risk our lives to protect them, they should believe it, right?”

The last chapter seemed a bit controversial. Do you think the protagonist went too far?
