Returning to the Divine Garden, I went to the Great Elder Plov to hand in the task as usual, and received some experience points and 1,000 reputation, which were mediocre rewards.
Counting these 1,000 reputation points, Jiang Bai's reputation in the ancient elves camp has reached 2,310 points, but the level is still neutral, which is probably still a little worse.
But as long as the mission conditions are met.
This time, Great Elder Plov did not make any excuses and directly asked Jiang Bai to be taken to the Elf Secret Palace.
Jiang Bai thought that this elven secret palace was some kind of magical place, but to put it bluntly, it was just a deeply hidden underground secret palace.
Walking into the secret hall, a wave of heat hit your face.
This kind of heat is different from ordinary high temperatures. When the heat wave hits, they are irresistible and penetrate into the deepest parts of Jiang Bai's bones, blood vessels and other parts of the body.
"Fuck!!!"
The severe pain that directly burned the blood and bones was so sudden that Jiang Bai, who was unprepared, couldn't help but wailed.
Out of instinct, Jiang Bai jumped back a step, looking at Helen with eyes full of panic and confusion.
"Why does it hurt so much?"
"Damn it, isn't it the game mode? How can I still feel such real pain?"
Jiang Bai recalled the severe pain of the previous moment, like the fire of his soul burning his bones, directly stinging the most sensitive nerve deep in his brain, making it unbearable. .
"Forgot to tell you."
The beautiful Helen smiled playfully, "This is the ancestral land of the ancient elves. It is burning with the eternal fire of the soul. Most people cannot stand this kind of test."
"But……"
"Made..."
Jiang Bai stared at the purple flames in the ancestral land with a confused expression on his face, "The game mode I opened is 90% pain-free!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Bai directly pulled out the official assistant and asked his doubts.
But the system's answer shocked Jiang Bai again.
"The pain currently experienced by the player is the pain after it has been reduced by 90%. The system detection is correct. I wish you a happy game."
"I R..."
"Are you kidding about riding a horse?"
Jiang Bai was stunned.
This is to truly weaken the effect of 90% of the pain, if it is not weakened.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bai couldn't help but stretched his head inside.
"Are you sure Brent is in this ghost place?"
"Yes."
Helen stared at Jiang Bai with her big eyes and nodded seriously.
"Of course, there are items that can protect you from the burning of your soul, but by the time you find one, I'm afraid you'll never see Brent again."
"..."
After thinking again and again, Jiang Bai finally mustered up the courage to enter this terrifying place.
As his right foot stepped into the ancestral land again, purple flames penetrated from the 36,000 pores on Jiang Bai's body. At that moment, it was like countless ants gnawing at his own bones, which was unbearable.
"Oh... hiss... um... ah... um..."
Even speaking was so difficult, but after taking two or three steps, Jiang Bai's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat. The excruciating pain made him grin, and the veins on his temples popped out, and his whole body continued to emit pain. moan.
step……
Two steps...
It has never been so difficult for Jiang Bai to walk as it is now.
Time seems to have lost its effect here, and what is left is eternal burning and pain.
It seems like a century has passed.
Finally, the outline of a human figure appeared in Jiang Bai's field of vision.
"Brent...Brent..."
That is where the purple soul fire is most concentrated.
Brent, who had a dark complexion and muscular muscles, was naked and hung in the air by two iron ropes.
And the purple soul fire almost enveloped Brent.
Jiang Bai couldn't describe the shock of seeing that scene. If he was suffering from pain that was weakened by 90%, then Brent at this moment...
"old man!!!"
After exhausting all his strength, Jiang Bai finally appeared in front of Brent.
At this time, Brent was already in a semi-conscious state, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was out of breath.
And Jiang Bai finally understood that Brent from Novice Village was indeed disguised.
Now that he had transformed back into a hill dwarf, he looked stronger, and of course shorter. He looked absolutely no more than 1.4 meters tall.
It wasn't until he heard Jiang Bai's cry that his dim eyes regained some light.
Then, great surprise and surprise appeared on Brent's cheeks with high cheekbones.
"Little... little brat?"
"Why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to save you, old guy."
Hearing Jiang Bai's words, Brent's eyes full of vicissitudes of life couldn't help but sparkle a little.
"you……"
"Stop talking nonsense, I can't stand it anymore, tell me how to get you out!"
Brent did not speak, but stared at Jiang Bai for a long time.
But he suddenly smiled and shook his head.
"Don't waste your energy, it's an old dream in an empty city. Go back quickly. This is not the place you should be."
"Holy shit!"
"How come..."
Before Jiang Bai finished speaking, an inexplicable force suddenly surrounded him, and then he felt his eyes blurred. The next moment, Jiang Bai actually returned to the meeting hall of the ancient elves again.
Pulov stood in front of Jiang Bai, staring at Jiang Bai with burning eyes.
"I admire your courage."
Plov said with a smile.
"Oh no, the great elder hasn't finished speaking yet."
Jiang Bai looked a little angry.
"Not in a hurry."
Plov said, pacing slowly, "I'll tell him the rest."
Subsequently, Pulov told Jiang Bai a short story about the past between these small races in the Creation Continent.
It turns out that after the war between alien demons, various races in the Creation Continent suffered heavy losses.
In addition to the human race, small races such as elves, giants, dwarves, and orcs have entered a state of recuperation and have hid from the world.
As the hill dwarves who guard the Hammer of the Ancestors, they were originally on good terms with the elves.
However, because the Ancestral Hammer was too severely damaged in the battle with the alien demons, if it is not repaired in time, I am afraid that the Ancestral Hammer will completely become a piece of scrap metal.
The only thing that can repair the Hammer of the Ancestors is the elven Sky Iron, but this thing is also a treasure for the ancient elves. How could the hill dwarves use it to repair the Hammer of the Ancestors?
In desperation, the head of the hill dwarves at that time made the next move. They colluded with the ancient elves' old enemy the dark elves, launched a war against the ancient elves, and forcibly stole the meteorite iron.
The Dark Elf Tribe has also gained its own benefits, which is the original power of the Elf Tribe - the source of life of the World Tree.
Without the source of life, the ancient elves, whose vitality was severely damaged, were completely on the verge of annihilation.
In desperation, the nine elders at that time directly sacrificed their thousands of years of cultivation to forcefully extend the lives of the ancient elves. This way, the fire of the ancient elves was preserved.
Since that battle, the ancient elves directly entered a state of deep sleep and completely disappeared from the Creation Continent.
Until now, the ancient elves have not been able to recover from the losses in that battle, and only Plov is left among the elders.
And more importantly, if the source of life is no longer available, once the soul fire of the nine elders is burned out, the entire ancient elves will completely disappear from the Creation Continent!
"Tell me, should I forgive him!?"
After the story was told, Plov's loud shouts were mixed with infinite anger.
The wrinkled old face was already covered with muddy tears.
