At this time, Guo Zheng and others also sat down. It seemed that both sides had many questions to ask each other this time.
"you.."
"You..." At this time, Guo Zheng and the woman spoke at the same time, and then stopped. .
"You say it first... you say it first..." Guo Zheng said at this time.
The woman also nodded and said: "Then let me introduce you first. My name is Iris, and I am the captain of the third scout team of Crescent City." Guo Zheng saw that Iris stopped talking. Said: "We are adventurers from the City of Holy Light. We came here from the desert wilderness."
"It can be seen that you are human beings, and you also have the mark of the Holy Light City Professional Union on your body." Iris said.
Xiaoba quickly took over the conversation and asked: "We humans? Are you not human?"
Aris paused for a moment and looked at Xiaoba as if looking at a monster and said: "Of course we are not humans, we are elves, and we have existed much longer than you humans."
"Is that why you are so tall, with sparkling eyes and long ears?" Qinqin asked.
Iris smiled and said: "We elves are born so tall, but you guys are really not short as humans. Our long ears are because we first lived in the forest, in order to avoid wild beasts and sense danger. Evolved into long ears. As for our eyes, they are a gift from the moon god. After each of us elves are born, as long as they do not have congenital eye diseases, they will be sent to the priestess to wash their eyes with water from the moon well. In this way, we I can see things clearly in the dark with my eyes. Take this dense forest as an example. Let alone a huge spider in the distance, I can quickly see a flying insect as long as it is within my field of vision. .”
Iris said as her long ears on both sides twitched.
"Then why are you here?" Iris asked.
Guo Zheng thought to himself: "As players, what other reason do we have to come here besides leveling up..." But that's what Guo Zheng was thinking, and he couldn't say that, because if you said that to an NPC, she would definitely not understand.
So Guo Zheng said: "We came here for adventure, and then we found a path from the wilderness and walked directly here."
"So that's it. You'd better leave here quickly. This forest is far scarier than you imagined." Iris said.
"Then why do you still stay here?" Guo Zheng asked.
Iris sighed and said, "This is a long story. Our scout team was originally sent here for surveillance."
"Surveillance on Holy Light City?" Yi'er suddenly interjected.
Iris hurriedly shook his head and said: "Of course not. We elves have always been allies with you humans. How could we come to monitor you? It was a battle with the undead army. At that time, Raul, the king of Holy Light City, was afraid that the undead army would send troops. We passed through the dense forest here to launch a surprise attack on the back of Holy Light City, so we asked our Moon God Priest to let our scout team station here to monitor whether any undead troops would pass by, because in terms of our ability to survive and fight in the forest, we The elves are much stronger than you humans, so our third and fourth scout teams were sent here at that time. We were stationed at both ends of the forest. Every day we would form several small patrol teams to patrol and rely on each other. The domesticated owls unique to our elves deliver messages and intelligence.”
Guo Zheng, Qinqin, Yier and Xiaoba all listened attentively to what Iris was saying.
"I have to admire your Lionheart King Raul's foresight. He guessed right. Sure enough, a traitor appeared among you, and an elite undead force came here. Just when we were planning to leak the information, we never expected that , a large number of undead troops arrived, and many of them were powerful and terrifying creatures. We hid on the side, otherwise we would be easily discovered under their noses. From that time on, this forest began to appear. There were changes. At the beginning, there were still days and nights normally. Later, the days slowly began to become shorter and shorter, until finally the forest completely turned into darkness. At that time, we would hear the undead every day. Howling, I don’t know how long it took before I noticed that the surroundings started to become quiet. We walked out carefully and found that there was no trace of the undead army. At this time, we sent the tame owl to fly to the other side as the fourth scout. The team went to check what happened, but after waiting for a long time, the owl didn't come back." Iris said.
From her depressed expression, it was clear that something bad must have happened.
Sure enough, Iris's voice was choked up: "Later, on the way to the camp of the fourth scout team, we found our tame owl hanging on a huge net. It looked like it had been drained of blood. , the body also shrank a lot. That was the first time we saw the giant spider you saw today. After killing it, we felt the camp and found that it was empty, with only a lot of dried blood left. I tried to call them in the unique way of our elves, but in the end only six female scouts came back. They told me that the undead army was stationed around them at the time. At that time, because the hiding conditions here were not good, they hid separately. Later, Captain Nina and their hiding place were discovered. These cruel undead killed them and used evil spells to control their souls and resurrected them as puppets. Moreover, the undead army at that time wanted to use this forest as a We secretly attacked the base of Holy Light City, so we used magic to destroy the vitality here. The giant spiders you saw mutated after being eroded by evil magic." Iris said while his body was shaking, and his hands were already It made a "clucking" sound when she was holding it.
"Then why don't you just evacuate?" Xiaoba asked.
"We don't want to leave. The moon goddess we believe in is the power of life and hope, so we have to stay and purify this place." Iris said.
"Then why don't you go to Holy Light City for help?" Guo Zheng asked.
"We have only a few people, and we were sent here directly and have never been to Holy Light City. We only know that it is not very far away, so we don't want to take risks with the remaining manpower."
"Then do you know why this forest was polluted? And can it be saved?" Yi'er asked.
"We have figured out this place quite clearly. Although the undead army left, it still left three magic arrays here. These three magic arrays will continue to release evil magic and continue to erode the life force here. If these three magic circles are destroyed, I think this forest should slowly return to its original state. Don't underestimate the power of life." Iris said.
When Guo Zheng heard this, it turned out that the mission here was to eliminate the magic circle. Since he came here for experience and equipment, there was no reason for Guo Zheng to refuse, so he offered to help.
When Iris heard that Guo Zheng and the others wanted to help, she stood up excitedly and said, "I thought you would leave the forest immediately after hearing this, but I didn't expect you to be willing to help."
As an NPC, Iris doesn't understand the players' desire for experience and equipment. However, Guo Zheng and the others are naturally not all for this. They are more willing to participate in saving this forest.
"Shall we set off now?" Guo Zheng asked.
"Don't worry, you still need some things before that..." Iris said.
