Game of the World Tree

A young nobleman pretending to be a caravan?

Thinking of this, the skinny guard's gaze faintly changed again.

And this time, he noticed more...

Professionals!

The oldest of these seemed to be in their twenties, while the youngest looked more like teenagers...

All are professionals!

The Skinny Guard is not a professional himself, he is just a trainee soldier.

But years of experience have given him a pair of very old eyes.

These young people did not hide their breath at all.

Careful observation, you will find that their strength is extremely terrifying!

Their breath is even stronger than the strongest hunter in Ximu Town...

The strongest hunter in Ximu Town had already broken through to the black iron median a few years ago.

That is to say, this group of young people... I am afraid that their strength is at least the peak of the black iron median, maybe it is also possible for the black iron to ascend.

However, the hunter in Ximu Town is already fifty years old this year, but these young people are so young...

At this age, with such strong strength, do you still need to doubt their identities?

noble!

Absolutely noble!

Only aristocrats can cultivate such outstanding young professionals!

Different from ordinary commoners, human nobles have mastered most of the extraordinary power and most of the resources.

They don't need to rush for a living, they just need to grow up step by step and master the power of the family.

Therefore, for those young nobles, everything about the commoners is novel.

Occasionally, some nobles who like freshness do things that commoners seem incomprehensible...

It's entirely possible to play as a caravan in winter!

After all...the kingdom of Ayres in the south is said to have no cold winter and no snow scene.

And every winter, many nobles of Iris go to the Holy Mania Empire in the north to watch the snow...

Of course, there are also many nobles in the Holy Mania Empire who go to the warm south for vacation in winter.

The two countries have been at peace for decades, and their attitude towards each other is not as hostile as it was a hundred years ago. The exchanges between the people are quite rich...

Thinking of this, the thin guard's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Young nobles!

If you please them, even if they leak a little from the gap between their fingers, they will make a fortune!

And if you let the other party have fun, maybe the whole town can benefit!

You must know that as a southwestern border town, it is not as prosperous as the eastern border, and there is always the risk of being harassed by orcs. Ximu Town has always been quite poor.

Soon, the skinny guards thought about what to do.

Seeing that he didn't find the identity of the other party, he began to cough twice according to the previous routine, and said solemnly:

"Who are you?"

coming!

The players cheered.

They already knew some strategies from Nightingale in advance, and they knew that this was a normal conversation when Border Town encountered a smuggling caravan.

Everyone looked at Li Mu subconsciously, and Li Mu gave everyone a reassuring look, then smiled and said to the guards:

"We are a caravan from the south, and below is the chairman of the chamber of commerce, Lim. We want to take advantage of this winter to sell some goods to the north..."

If nothing else, the next step is to ask for bribes.

After asking for bribes, the other party should help them get a pass to the empire.

Li Mu thought to himself.

These are what Nightingale said.

The NPC boss, it is said that before returning to the forest of elves, he often pretended to be human or "goods" to wander around in the major smuggling caravans to save fellow elves...

Caravans and mercenary groups are the best way to infiltrate human society.

However, compared to the mercenary group, which is subject to strict inspections, the caravan is more free.

And... it's more convenient to "do business".

And sure enough, after listening to Li Mu's words, the thin guard showed a smile:

"It turned out to be a caravan! In winter, you still need to run a business, but it's quite hard work. Come and rest in the town. It's not too late. After the rest, I will report to the mayor and give you the imperial caravan pass. "

After he finished speaking, he made a request...

Um?

Do you not ask carefully about the origin?

Li Mu was slightly taken aback.

This set went well, but he kept the various rhetoric and explanations he had prepared in his mouth...

"How is it? Rest? It's not too late, go to the town to see how the human world in this game is like, and by the way, find out how far Maple Leaf City is."

Li Mu asked in the chat channel.

This town is still too small.

Even from the outside, it looks like a bigger village.

Of course, even a human village is enough to make players curious.

But if possible, Li Mu still wants to take the players to continue to go deeper, to the end point - Maple Leaf City!

According to the returning elf NPC, Maple Leaf City is the most prosperous city on the southwestern border.

Prosperity means resources and opportunities...

Not to mention, as a former elf capital, there must be hidden plots!

The players looked at each other and nodded.

"It's very late, it's been so many days, I'm exhausted."

"Hey, it's mainly because it's too far away, and I haven't got the experience yet. I'm a little regretful that I came out to explore."

"Don't worry! When we reach the destination, maybe we will all make money back in one breath."

"I'm also curious about this village."

"Then take a rest, I'm tired after walking for a day, this game is too hardcore..."

"Seconded……"

In the team chat channel, players sent messages one after another.

Seeing that the players had unified their opinions, Li Mu smiled at the thin guard:

"That's hard work."

The skinny guard heaved a sigh of relief, and then enthusiastically led the players into Ximu Town.

The houses made of black wood and bluestone are lined up, the white snow covers the houses with a layer of silver frost, and the lingering smoke rises slowly from the chimney on the roof, with a hint of seductive fragrance...

The players walked around the town, looking at everything around them curiously.

Ximu Town is not big, and the population is very limited, but only a thousand people.

More than 200 players poured in, instantly making the originally small town appear crowded.

While the players were admiring the scenery of the town, a pair of curious eyes were also observing the caravan entering the town through the window.

From time to time, children ran out of the house, chasing the caravan, cheering, and then being reprimanded by the guards.

After the caravan was stationed, many villagers came out of their homes, curiously approached the caravan, took out some hunting hides, or some special products in the town, and asked about the trade.

Now that the show has been done, the players have already done a full set.

For these enthusiastic villagers, players have also taken out the seriously overcapacity food in the Elf Forest from the trucks and traded with the villagers.

Of course, Ximu Town is too poor, and the things that these humans have brought out are not even considered by the players.

However, they do not need the things of these villagers.

Well, some specialties are still accepted.

However, what they need more... is intelligence.

"Is there anything interesting in the territory? Or some legends and ruins?"

Holding the rice given by the player and listening to their inquiries, the chunky guard was slightly taken aback.

"That's right, it's our first time to come to the Empire, so... we've always been curious about the famous Maple Leaf Leader, and it's the first time we've opened up a trade route. These goods are considered gifts."

"So...we are willing to use these interesting rumors and news to trade goods, but...it must be true."

Li Mu smiled.

Now, the most indispensable thing in the forest of elves is food.

There is magic, and the growth environment is excellent, and the food in the Elf Forest has already been flooded...

And what the players brought this time is actually a failed breeding experiment, some of the worst-selling items.

However, after all, the products of the Forest of Spirits are produced by the Forest of Spirits. Even the worst food is many times better than what the villagers usually see.

Looking at the grains of white, round, plump rice in the bag, and the fast-growing wheat that exudes an attractive wheat fragrance, the skinny guard's eyes are straight...

noble!

These young people are definitely nobles who have not run away!

Powerful and well-equipped...

And such good food can be taken out and given away, I just want to hear some interesting news, it is estimated that I want to take risks or something...

In addition to those young and arrogant nobles, who else would do such a prodigal thing? !

It is said that this kind of aristocratic young master and young lady like the most favored one is to pursue excitement!

Of course, at a certain moment, he also doubted whether these young professionals might be spies or something...

But he was quickly rejected.

how can that be possible?

If it is really the official spy of the Kingdom of Ayres, it is impossible for a group of noble children to do such a thing!

These inexperienced young children, I am afraid that if they go to Maple Leaf City, they will be deceived and even lose their pants.

The skinny guard shook his head secretly.

Of course, he will not remind the other party about this.

Nobles are not good things, and he has never been very interested in nobles.

And all the signs show that this is definitely a group of young nobles who are full and want to have fun!

Hey... that's the way the world is.

Many commoners could not even afford to eat, but the nobles lived a life of drunkenness.

Of course, it's a bastard if you don't take advantage of it.

Since these nobles intend to exchange goods for interesting news, the skinny guards are naturally happy.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly racked his brains and spit out all the news he knew that these young people might be interested in:

"There are some! Interesting things... I know a lot!"

"Well, I don't know what happened recently. In the entire Maple Leaf Collar, many professionals have broken through the bottleneck for many years. It is said that the Lord Lord, who has been stuck in the gold median, has also loosened the bottleneck..."

"Relics? There are too many maple-leaf collar ruins! They are all left over from the Silver Age and belong to those elves. However, many of them have been explored by adventurers..."

"However, it is rumored that there is still a hidden ruin in Maple Leaf City, which no one can open. Every full moon night will form various visions in Maple Leaf City..."

"But, it's just a legend..."

"Well... there is one more thing! The annual Maple Leaf City auction is about to start. I heard that this time the city owner destroyed an underground stronghold and captured a lot of elves, which should all belong to the 'Oak Hand' organizational……"

"And I heard that the lord also invited nobles from all over the world to participate in the auction..."

Elf?

The players looked at each other thoughtfully.

"The Oak Hand?"

Xiao Xianmiao noticed a new word and looked curious.

"Well... that is an underground resistance organization hidden in the empire. It is said that the members are all elves and half elves, as well as some human beings who have sympathy for elves."

"They have been active in various cities of the empire with the goal of saving the captured elves..."

The skinny guard explained.

Having said this, he sighed slightly:

"To say that these elves...it's really miserable, not to mention hiding in the east, but also to be arrested, maybe...this is fate, who made them look so good..."

"I was fortunate enough to meet a legendary elf once. You don't know, it's really beautiful... It's beautiful, how should I put it... It's like an angel... It's no wonder that people like it."

"However, when I saw it that time, it was locked in a cage. Hey, it's actually pitiful."

"Hey... think about it, which race is willing to be arrested, but... who made them so popular with nobles, long lifespan, good-looking, and magical physique, I heard that those noble masters like the most It is to support such intelligent creatures..."

"Raising an elf in captivity can benefit the entire family for hundreds of years..."

"If you want me to say, these elves are just too kind, hey... Obviously they are such a kind and powerful race, but it is also embarrassing that they are like this today."

"Maybe, in this world, only by being cruel can we survive."

"Like the great nobles of the empire, one is more greedy, one is more brutal, the more powerful the more so, it is not a good thing!"

As the skinny guard spoke, he sighed indignantly.

But soon, he reacted, and he seemed to have said too much...

Moreover, because the atmosphere of communication was so good, he couldn't help but complained about the nobles!

The Eternal Lord is above!

He actually complained about the nobles in front of the nobles!

The skinny guard broke out in a cold sweat, quickly stopped the topic, and then looked carefully at the players.

However, to his surprise, these young nobles were not angry.

On the contrary... after listening to his words, they instead showed an expression of considerable interest and eagerness to try.

"This auction... When is it exactly?"

Li Mu asked with great interest.

Others also looked at the skinny guard with anticipation.

That fiery gaze made him shiver subconsciously.

Sure enough, they are nobles... these guys can't walk when they hear the elves.

The skinny guard shook his head secretly.

...

The skinny guard communicated with the players, and then left with a few bags of food in his arms.

The other villagers also followed suit and exchanged goods from the players with various information they knew.

However, the simplicity of these villagers is also somewhat unexpected by the players.

Although the players said that they exchanged information for goods, many villagers still left the things they originally planned to trade after receiving the food...

Or eggs, or animal skins, or some small objects, or some game...

In their words, that is:

"Master, these grains of yours are all high-end goods, the kind that are rare in Maple Leaf City..."

"These things of yours are too precious. You can know the things we said after a little inquiries..."

"We have already taken a big advantage. Although there are not many things in our hands, but in exchange for you, I can feel more at ease in my heart."

"Eternal Lord is above, may the true God be with you forever..."

This really surprised the players.

Not all humans in this game are villains!

These villagers are quite nice.

After the transaction, the villagers also enthusiastically brought out all kinds of delicious food to entertain these generous strangers.

After the whole town tossed for a few hours, it gradually became quiet...

After the last villager left, the players gathered in the temporary camp. They sat together in twos and threes, seemingly resting, but actually entered the chat channel and began to discuss the next plan...

"What do you think?"

Li Mu asked in the chat channel.

"What else can I look at? It's worth it! All I got is important information in one breath. It's definitely the hidden plot that didn't run away! Find the ruins, save the elves, and do some business by the way!"

Demacia said excitedly.

"Then... let's rest and go to Maple Leaf City early tomorrow morning! What do you think? Can the online time be adjusted?"

Li Mu asked again.

"Can!"

"no problem!"

The players rubbed their hands in anticipation.

"But... we have to find a guide, we can't run around like a headless fly."

Fried tomatoes said.

"Don't worry about this. Listen to that skinny guard saying that he is going to Maple Leaf City tomorrow."

Xiao Xianmiao interrupted him and said.

After speaking, her expression became a little weird:

"Speaking of which... I just walked around town, guess who I saw?"
