Chapter 58: Elves?

From the map, he saw that there was a very long way to Iron Skull City.
Moreover, this was already the territory of Iron Skull City, so the monsters around were not only Level 10.
To ordinary players, stepping on this path was a very risky decision.
After all, they had entered the main city in a hurry and did not seriously accumulate high-grade equipment. Most of them did not even obtain the reward for clearing a simple dungeon, causing their strength to be very mediocre.
However, as players, they did not want to give up on this special challenge mission.
Therefore, many professional guide groups were born in the end.
“Professional gamers will lead the team. We’re short of two people, the cost is 30 silver coins each.”
“The guild elites will lead the team. 50 silver coins per person. We will definitely complete the mission!”
“We charge a lower price of 20 silver coins. Everyone, let’s go!”
“High-level players with 250 Attack leading the team.”
“Any warriors with 80 or more defense? We can form a team and go immediately, free of charge!”
Many powerful players chose to pause here for a moment, their goal was to earn some silver coins.
It could be seen that guiding players was very profitable, one could easily earn tens of silver coins.
The current price of gold coins was still around 4,500. 50 silver coins was equivalent to more than 2000 dollars.
Many players could not afford it.
Therefore, a large number of people gradually began to line up, wanting to rely on their own strength to complete the mission.
But reality was cruel.
On the resurrection array in the small town, people revived one after another.
There were powerful monsters above Level 10 everywhere in the wilderness. Most players could not deal with such opponents and could only give up in the end.
Lorne looked at them and shook his head.
Those ordinary players were too anxious. Some had farmed wild dogs for a few days and came here. How could they complete the mission with Level 3 equipment?
He did not approach the team but left from the side.
But at that moment, Lorne suddenly saw a large group of players surrounding the city wall, as if they were accepting a mission.
He looked over.
The next second, Lorne’s eyes widened.
In the center of the player camp was a simple temporary camp. There was a group of young girls in gray hoods. What was shocking was that they had sharp ears, were tall, and had snow-white skin. They were like the most perfect works of art in the world.
“Those… are elves?!” Lorne’s eyes widened in shock.
In the “Divine Realm”, apart from humans, all races were considered neutral, especially the elves who yearned for peace. Unless necessary, they would never raise their bows and blades.
“It seems that elves are high-level NPCs, right?”
Lorne had seen some guides on the Internet that specifically introduced some insights regarding the Divine Realm, and among them were comments on the elves.
Most players thought that the elves were high-level NPCs.
The general traits of a high-level NPC were: It was very difficult to accumulate Reputation with them, they had very high-level missions, and very rich rewards…
In short, when he encountered high-level NPCs, he had to build a good relationship with them so that he could receive better missions in the future.
With that in mind, Lorne walked over.
…
At this moment, a large number of players had already gathered near the elves’ temporary camp. Like Lorne, they wanted to build a relationship with the elves and attempt to obtain the mission from the elven NPCs.
A player asked in a friendly manner, “My dear elf friends, I’m a righteous adventurer. How can I help you?”
However, the elven girl was unmoved. She did not even answer him.
At this moment, a player from the Sunset Guild tried to bribe her. He took out a gold coin and said, “Elf beauty, here is a gold coin. I hope this is the start of our friendship.”
The elven girl took the gold coin and glanced at him coldly, “We don’t trust you.”
“Damn!!!”
‘If you don’t trust me, why did you accept my gold coin?!’
The player from the Sunset Guild felt that he had been cheated by the NPC.
However, in the next second, he felt that although one gold coin did not allow him to receive the mission, it made the elf speak. According to this trend, he should give her more gold coins, which would definitely increase the affinity between the two sides.
Thinking of this, the small manager of the Sunset Guild took out a few gold coins and handed them to the elven girl one by one.
He wanted to make a contribution and raise his position in the guild.
But the result was upsetting.
Even when he used up all 10 gold coins collected by the team, the elven girl did not change her attitude. She still did not trust him.
Upon seeing this result, the Sunset Guild player jumped up.
He roared crazily at the elves, wanting to take the gold coins back from them. After all, 10 gold coins was 50,000 alliance dollars!
However, in the next second, he saw that all the elven girls in the camp had unfriendly looks in their eyes. At the same time, they were ready to fight. This player was so frightened that he quickly retreated into the crowd and did not dare to cause trouble again.
After the incident, the other players went up to ask.
But without exception, all of them failed.
As a neutral faction, the elves would not recognize the reputation of the Human Empire. Therefore, these new players who did not have the reputation of the elves could not obtain their trust.
But at that moment, Lorne neared the crowd.
However, before he could squeeze into the crowd, the elven girl standing in front of the camp pushed the players aside and rushed to him, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.
The elven girl asked excitedly. “My dear Mr. Tyrant, would you be willing to help us poor elves?”
A free mission?
Lorne paused, then quickly replied, “Yes, of course.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the system notification sounded.
Ding!
“Due to the fact that you have 100 Reputation Points with the Dragon Race of Order, you have received the attention of the Night Elf Leader, Mayra, and have received a hidden mission: [Protecting the Elves].”
“Mission details: An elven team encountered a battle on the way and could only stay in the Green Rock Town. Please send them to Iron Skull City safely. The elves will thank you for your help.”
‘I see.’
Only after seeing the notification did Lorne nod, understanding everything.
No wonder the elf came up to communicate with him.
It turned out that all of this was because of the reputation of the Dragon Race of Order.
Because the Dragon Race of Order was the spokesmen of the Order faction, the elves who yearned for peace naturally had a good impression of them.
As a human who could obtain the recognition of the Dragon Race of Order, the elves were naturally willing to trust him. At the very least, he would be much more reliable than these rude adventurers in front of them.
Without hesitation, Lorne accepted the mission.
