The Age of Machines

Chapter 1168 Mission
The second Monday after the competition.

Eve left the city of Bresoma due to an elf mission.The companions included Beixi, civet cats, glutinous rice dumplings and waltz.Due to the sea blockade on Elf Island, it should be impossible to go by sea.In the past few months, with Eve's goodwill, the elf prince finally gave an important task, which is to let Eve take a letter to the elf queen.

And another route is given.

Far away in [Linde Aleigh], in the [Coors Mountain Range] close to the huge elf sea, there is a hidden ancient teleportation array.The elf prince asked Eve to take the token and elf blood to activate the teleportation array, enter the elf island and bring the letter to the elf queen.

Because it is about the cooperation between the elves and Calans, Beixi, as the current head of the Knights, was appointed to follow.

As for the other three, some of them followed because they had missions related to Elven Island before, but they had not been deleted.Some people simply can't find anything to do, such as glutinous rice and civet cats.

"The two of you can actually make an appointment to go to other places." Eve sat on her little white fox and said to the two people talking and laughing in front of her.

Nuomi and Tanuki looked at each other, and then both looked at Eve.

"What? Dislike us for not being good enough to be your bodyguard?" Tanuki joked.

Nuomi Duanzi also smiled, "There is nothing special I want to go at the moment."

There are too many regions in Shengshili. Sometimes players can ride mounts, walk, or travel even if they have no quests to do.

The scenery in the game is very beautiful.

So that's why, Shengshihui is so hot, to the extent that it is suitable for all ages.

"Besides, your mission is so dangerous. If more people follow you, you don't have to worry about your own safety. The mission will definitely be completed smoothly."

The elf prince gave Eve a seven-day time limit because the place was remote and there were no small towns or villages nearby.

When they came, they had seen the big map. There was a small town five kilometers away from the mountains, but it might have been destroyed by monsters. There was no teleportation array to go directly there. Beixi and the others could only ride mounts or flying beasts to their destinations.

It will take a lot of time, and the group started their journey very early.

Eve snorted, "Anyway, Beibei followed."

One person in Beixi can be worth ten.If you want output, you have output, if you want defense, you have defense. With her, in Eve's eyes, other people just come to play along.

Nuomi Duanzi looked at her and said with a smile, "That's right, we're actually here to make soy sauce."

"Well, for the scenery." The civet cat also nodded.

Eve couldn't help throwing a blank stare at the two of them, then watched the waltz and asked, "Yuan Wu, you haven't submitted the mission for so long, are you sure you can still find that NPC?"

Waltz nodded, "It should be fine."

"What should be?" The glutinous rice dumpling in front was puzzled and turned around to ask.

Waltz said: "Because the task has never failed or prompted me to move the NPC. There are coordinates on it, and it should be submitted."

"It's been such a long time. What's the reward? You still have to go to the elf to submit it." Eve was curious.

Waltz explained to a few people.

"Elf fruit?" Beixi was surprised.

Waltz nodded, "I was lucky enough to receive it before. President, you also know the function of the elf fruit, so if the task does not show failure, I will still keep it here until I get the reward."

Players who eat the fairy fruit can increase the permanent mana value and elemental damage.And because this thing is the holy fruit of the elves, it is very rare, and the value will be increased a lot.

If ordinary players have no chance and luck, it is impossible to receive the task.

With the explanation of the waltz in this way, others can probably understand why it took so long, and he has not traveled thousands of miles to go to Elven Island with them.

Now several people are in the [Black Forest] and have been running for two hours.This forest is huge, and it is also called [Black Forest] because it is on the edge of the black town.

Although they had been on the road for two hours, Beixi and the others were actually not too tired. They ran and stopped along the way, and their mounts were running, so they couldn't be tired at all.

Different levels of mounts have different levels of comfort. The higher the level, the higher the level of comfort. In other words, you won’t feel any bumps while running. The only thing that may be tiring is that you may feel a little uncomfortable if you maintain this sitting position all the time.

Occasionally stopping to rest is also to eliminate this discomfort.Fatigue in the game is easy to disappear, and players are unlikely to feel back pain or butt pain, what they feel is fatigue and body stiffness.

Just wait for a few minutes, maybe stop to eat a piece of bread to clean up tiredly, and the spirit will recover accordingly.

This forest had been invaded by monsters before, so a part of it was marked as a dangerous area on the map, and Beixi and the others quickly entered that area.

Where they need to go, they must pass through there, get out of this forest, and continue to go further.Soon, they arrived at the danger zone. Not far away, they heard a lot of fighting sounds. After entering the boundary, many groups of players were killing monsters at a glance.

Today's prosperous world is huge enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of players, and in the next few years this game will go deeper into the real world.

At least, so far there is no game that can replace Shengshi.

"It's Beixi."

"People from the legend group!"

Excited voices sounded all around, and the others couldn't help but slow down when they heard the words.

A group of people slowed down the speed of the mounts and got off the mounts.Nuomi Duanzi glanced at the surrounding situation. The trees here were all withered, showing a large area of ​​desolation. There were many players nearby, but not just Karans.

In the past, there were very few players from other countries in Karans, but now the Dark Years is basically very common.

Beixi walked up to a team.

"Hello."

Several people seemed very happy, but luckily they were not so excited that they rushed forward directly.The enthusiasm for competitive games has subsided. A week ago, Beixi was surrounded by spectators while walking, and some people even gave her a bear hug as soon as they saw her.

After chatting with a few people, I realized that they are players from Granin, and now they are running all over the map because of the monster mission.Sometimes I will go to the edge desert of Rengar, and I will also go to the small town of San Fran, the dark empire, and Karanth.Basically, players who want to do monster quests now have a long journey.

Sometimes it takes a month to travel between several countries, and only then do players realize how huge the game is.

So this is why, the prosperous age is called the second world.

Beixi believes that meeting is also a kind of fate.

Because hundreds of millions of players travel on different maps every day, it is really fate to be able to meet here.

After chatting for a while, Beixi and the others said goodbye to everyone, got on their mounts and set off for a long journey again.

After people leave.

Someone couldn't help saying with emotion: "Beixi is really better than it looks and talks too much."

Two minutes after leaving the Black Forest, Beixi and the others entered the [Gomat Prairie].There are no monsters on the grassland, only cattle and sheep and some ordinary wild monsters.

It didn't take long for the few people to stop talking, laughing and laughing, and then they started running on the grassland again, with the fresh grass-scented breeze blowing over their cheeks, and their bodies felt unprecedentedly comfortable.

Waltz couldn't help roaring, as if wanting to shout out a lot of unhappiness. After this roar, the whole person seemed a lot clearer.

Beixi smiled lightly.

Waltz Work pressure is not small in reality, and when people are in reality, they will accumulate pressure and emotions for too many reasons.

Sometimes I come to the game to see the beautiful scenery, visit the mountains and rivers, run wildly on the grassland, walk in the desert, and feel the vastness of the desert.

This is also a method of decompression.

Games can indeed be relaxing.

In the evening, everyone arrived at Xinma City, which is 203 kilometers away from the city of Bremen.This is a small town with a very European style, and it has not been occupied by monsters.

Several people got off their mounts outside the town. There were many people coming and going at the city gate, including players and NPCs. There were also many hawkers who set up stalls on both sides of the bridge outside the city gate, forming a small market.

Withdrawing their mounts, they crossed the 20-meter long bridge and entered the small town.

Beside the city gate, Beixi took out a map with many marks on it. Red represents dangerous areas, green represents towns or safe wild areas without monsters, and there are few wild monsters. It can also be said that they must stay in the journey.

Once night falls, players will either hang their characters offline to sleep in the safe area, or stay outside in tents, and then they must be guarded all night.

It is dangerous to travel at night, and it consumes a day's supplies. If you don't settle in places like the city, the amount of supplies, and if you encounter any danger outside, there is no life-saving thing at the critical moment.

"I'm going to make up for consumption first." The civet cat sorted out his package and found that the food for the mount was a little less. They relied on the flying mount for their journey. The higher the level, the greater the disappearance. Sometimes at the end of the day, the two sets of food were not enough to maintain the fatigue value.

"I'm going to see if there are any useful props in the store here."

Waltz hurriedly said: "Hey, Nuomi, I'm with you, I want to buy some travel clothes."

"Is your suit worn out?"

"It's too soon."

The two walked away.

Beixi looked at Eve, "Afu, think about what supplies you need. If you set off after dark, you will have to run for several hours."

Nightfall is dangerous for most players, but for Beixi and the others, it is no different from daytime, only they want to or don't want to.

There is a gap between the time in the game and the real time. Although it is night now, it is still afternoon in reality.Several people planned to go offline at 22 o'clock in real time.

On the way, there may be a stop to have dinner, and then go up and continue on the road.

Eve shook her head, "I have enough." After she finished speaking, she paused, thought for a while and said, "I want to eat apple pie."

"I'll go to the bar and see if there are any."

Beixi said: "Then I'll go with you, I'll buy some juice."

"Hmm, let's go together."

At night, the streets of the town are still very lively. There are dancing girls and prodigal sons at the fountain, and the enthusiastic singing and graceful dancing attract pedestrians to gather.

This town is not big, but it makes people like them who have been running around for a long time feel happy and happy. The laughter, the atmosphere is contagious, and the body becomes full of vitality. Happiness is contagious.

The two entered the bar talking and laughing. Eve liked to eat apple pie, which was only sold in bars other than shops.

However, not all NPCs in bars will sell them.

Beixi asked for a bucket of juice, and the NPC took her to the back warehouse to get it, while Eve asked the waiter at the counter if there was any apple pie.

"No?"

"Well, this bar doesn't have any."

Eve got a definite answer, and her expression was a little disappointed.In fact, she hasn't eaten apple pie for a long time. It's sold in Lectra, but the pies in the bar in Lectra are not as delicious as the ones in this small city.

"Eh."

The man stopped Eve and beckoned her to come back.Then he said: "Go out and turn right into the alley and walk about 30 or [-] meters inside. There is a bar. Although it is small, the apple pie made by the NPC there is delicious."

Eve looked up at him, her eyes lit up.

"Are you a player?"

The man nodded, propped himself on the table, stretched out his right hand and said with a hearty smile, "Hello, my name is Scorpion."

Eve shook back, "Thank you for telling me where there is pie."

"You're welcome, serve the beauties. Besides, you're from the legend group. I really like your guild."

Eve rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Thank you~"

"You're welcome!"

Eve sent a message to Beixi, and Beixi replied quickly.She had to pack it separately, so it took a few minutes, and the two made an appointment to meet at the fountain in 5 minutes.

Eve left the bar happily, but she didn't know that in the corner of the bar, after watching her leave, the man also got up and left.

Eve quickly found the bar the man was talking about, opened the door and went in. The bar was small but very exquisite. After inquiring, Eve confirmed that there were still a lot of apple pies, and bought hundreds of them in one go.

Then he happily left the bar.

After a few steps into the alley, there was a sudden pause, and Eve quickly took out the scepter. One end of the scepter fell to the ground, making a crisp "ding" sound, the bell shook, and a shield appeared on Eve's body, spreading outward.

The man was swept out by the holy light. Seeing that he was wearing a cloak, Eve didn't step forward, but retreated while holding the scepter, "Who are you?"

Ding, you were attacked by a [unnamed] player

"Nameless?" Eve looked at the system prompt, this person used a badge to hide his name.Did you come prepared?
The target is her?
The man didn't answer her, but rushed up with the weapon in his hand, and was behind him in the blink of an eye. Eve dropped his staff, and the light shook the man away, and the man let out a low smile.

But did not attack again.

Eve thought this man was strange.It can be seen from the weapon that it is a thief. If they want to hunt her down, the thief will enter stealth, but the other party does not, so Eve can keenly perceive the killing intent.

Judging from the behavior of the other party...it seems to be teasing her??
Eve was a little unhappy.

"Who the hell are you? The two of us have no grievances and no enmity. It's not good to suddenly attack a girl."

The man said, "What are the people from the legend group doing here?"
