Game of the World Tree

This is a dark stone house, and several small figures hidden in the darkness are discussing in a low voice:

"A group of elves who believe in the evil god? Are you sure?"

"It shouldn't be wrong, in short...you will know when you see it. Those elves are very abnormal, and they can only be explained by the followers of the evil god."

"This is a good person to blame... I wanted to wait a little longer, but I didn't expect this opportunity! If we can use them to cause chaos, our plan will go a lot better... When do you estimate they will? to us?"

"They are killing demon beasts in the dark forest. At their speed... I am afraid they will kill all the giant scorpions there in two days at most."

"Hey... In two days, it seems that you think this group of elves who are suspected of believing in the evil gods are very powerful?"

"At least...a bit stronger than ours."

"Hehe, it's better to be stronger. As long as we use them to cause chaos, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill that one, we will win. I'm afraid... they won't do what we want."

"Master Priest, you are overthinking it. I have seen it. These Heretic God believers are very cruel, and they are paranoid and crazy. As long as they are a little provocative, they will definitely arouse their anger..."

"It's up to you, it depends on the situation! In short...there is only one goal, we must succeed in this operation..."

While the shadows were discussing in a low voice, suddenly, another figure stumbled in:

"Lord Priest! Lord Priest! More than 300 fully-armed elves suddenly appeared outside the city! They... they are now heading towards us!"

"Why so fast? Three hundred people? Didn't you say there were only one hundred people?"

"Cough...maybe...maybe I didn't see clearly..."

"Hey, forget it, forget it, 1300 doesn't make any difference, as long as you can retake Black Rock City this time, it doesn't matter if the sacrifice is bigger, anyway, the ones who died are my lord's betrayers! That's it, I guess you will soon be I'm about to be summoned, why don't you take the initiative to go over... step back."

"Yes, Lord Priest!"

After speaking, these figures slowly disappeared.

...

Black Rock City, in a solemn black temple.

A female dwarf wearing a black priest's robe is kneeling in front of a god statue.

It was a majestic female deity, with a tall and slender body quite different from that of a dwarf.

The statue is covered with a black hood, holding a magnificent orb in one hand and a huge sickle in the other hand, majestic and lifelike...

While the female dwarf was praying, suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps came:

"Master Temple Master! Master Temple Master! It's not good!"

The movement of the female temple chief stopped slightly.

She stood up gently and looked at the person who came:

"Lord Balin, what happened?"

"A group of well-armed elf mercenaries are here. They are very strong. I didn't stop them. They have now poured into the city. Now please call the shots!"

"Elves?"

The head of the temple was slightly taken aback.

...

Inside the castle of the dark dwarves.

After accepting the task, more than 300 players rushed to the dwarf city excitedly.

Their movements were fast and aggressive, which startled the dwarves stationed at the city gate.

The dwarves seemed to be frightened and stupid, and did not stop the players from entering the city. They didn't react until the players poured into the city, and they panicked and greeted the soldiers to surround the players...

Looking at a large group of nervous dwarf warriors surrounded by hula la, the players were stunned.

"Didn't you say neutral NPCs? Why do you look like you're going to fight?"

"No... Are you scared by our battle?"

"Then why did they surround us after we entered the city gate?"

"Black eats black? According to the data, many intelligent creatures in the ground are ruthless..."

After speaking, they looked at each other... subconsciously clenched their weapons.

And seeing the players' actions, the dwarves became even more nervous.

It's also normal. Players who have just experienced fighting with monsters now have a chilling air on their bodies, and some people are still covered in blood, so they don't seem to be easy to mess with...

In short, no one looks like a good stubble.

Seeing that many players were vigilant, and the atmosphere gradually became tense, Fried Tomatoes quickly changed the language to Elvish and said loudly to the players:

"No! This must be part of the mission, everyone, don't be impulsive! This is a neutral NPC, and it also involves a neutral NPC reputation score! Don't be impulsive!"

"I think it is said in many Western fantasy stories that dwarves are very violent, and... more than 300 of us have such a big target, and we are fully armed, it will definitely make people vigilant."

"Everyone, bear with it! Just negotiate with them. This reputation rating is done collectively, and this is a good opportunity to brush up on a personal comprehensive reputation rating!"

"We will do whatever they ask us to do in a while. Everyone is thick-skinned. Anyway, as long as the reputation is brushed up, everything will be easy!"

"If someone does something wrong and affects everyone's reputation score, the First Army will hold grudges very much!"

After listening to his words, the players were stunned, and then released their hands.

Since the improvement of the favorability system, the favorability of NPCs has become more and more important, and the player's personal reputation evaluation is closely related to his own promotion speed.

And as a quest that is likely to be able to brush a little comprehensive reputation score, players will naturally not miss it.

Although many players were unhappy with the last sentence of fried tomatoes with tomatoes, they also understood that what the other party said made sense.

Because...the improved favorability is really hard to brush.

the reason is simple.

This damn game actually has a "first impression" similar to reality!

In "Elf Kingdom", the first impression of NPCs is really important. If the player gives a good first impression to an NPC, then the good impression will be multiplied with half the effort. If the first impression is bad, it will be miserable... Do more with less.

Demacia is an example. The guy is still cleaning the toilet in Jade Leng Cui. It is said that after cleaning for so long, and crying and admitting his mistake every day while hugging the NPC's thigh, he barely managed to score 1 point in the comprehensive evaluation of personal reputation.

And... a lot of NPCs have a negative opinion.

And this time, most of the players who came to the dwarf city first were combat-related players.

They don't always stay with NPCs like life-type players, and their reputation is generally low. Occasional dealings are all for tasks, and NPCs generally don't have a high opinion of them.

So... this is the first time I met a dwarf, and I finally triggered a quest that affects my comprehensive reputation evaluation, which is naturally rare.

When the player and the dwarf warriors faced off, some groups of dwarf soldiers in armor came over to escort the two dwarves who were obviously the leaders.

It was two dwarves, a man and a woman.

The male dwarf looked old and bald, and he respectfully slowed the female dwarf by half a step.

And the female dwarves wear black priest robes...

Unlike the male dwarves who are five big and three thick, the female dwarves are rather petite. When they see her, many players have some surprises in their expressions.

Seeing the dwarf warriors around, they thought... female dwarves are also sturdy turnips.

However, it is a pity that the skin of the dark dwarves is dark black, which is not in line with the aesthetics of Chinese people.

At the same time, they were also curious:

Is this female dwarf who looks like a priest, the god of death mentioned in the data, or a believer of the god of darkness and shadow?

Seeing the gathered players, the female dwarf looked surprised.

Without waiting for her to speak, the old dwarf took a step forward first, with a bad tone:

"Elves? Where did you... come from? Why did you break into our city?"

The players looked left and right, and finally came out with fried tomatoes.

He subconsciously wanted to draw a tree-shaped symbol on his chest, but he quickly reacted, and the outstretched hand turned into scratching his head.

I saw him smile and say with kindness:

"We are an elf mercenary group on the surface. We came to the underground for adventure. Because I saw your magnificent city, I was curious and wanted to visit. It would be better if we could do some business or make friends. !"

After hearing his words, the female dwarf's expression softened a little.

She looked at the player's team and sighed:

"I really didn't expect that the elves also have mercenary groups, and you can still gather so many people!"

The male old dwarf shook his head and spoke tough:

"I know your intentions, but...sorry, the dwarf city does not welcome outsiders. If you want to visit and communicate, you can send a representative, but other people cannot enter the city. Unless...you can unload all equipment and Weapons, then we will allow you to stay in the city."

After saying this, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became serious.

And the female dwarf frowned slightly.

In the underground world, for mercenaries and adventurers, equipment and strength are the basis for walking, and it is a kind of provocation to let people unload their equipment.

Equipment is their life, how can they take it off casually?

This sentence of the old dwarf seems to be maintaining the safety of the city, but it is actually too reckless. If it is replaced by other violent underground races, it may conflict with the dwarves...

Fortunately...these people are elves!

The female dwarf glanced at the old dwarf helplessly, sighed, and said to the players:

"Please forgive me, Grandpa Balin is the elder of our clan, and he said this for the safety of the clan. I know the nobleness of the elves, but the underground world is better than the unpeaceful above-ground world, and certain vigilance is necessary here. . Uninstalling gear is just a joke, if you guys want to…”

She was stunned before she finished speaking.

The old dwarf who spoke for the first time was also stunned.

Even the other dwarf warriors were stunned.

Because they discovered that the elves in front of them...

He even started to take off his equipment without hesitation...
