Chapter 91: Factional Quests of Elves and Shadows!
What should I do?
The tough guy hesitated for a moment. He felt that this was his only chance to change his fate. In this world, he could die many times, but this was probably his only choice.
The other party is probably not lying; no matter which side I choose, this guy should point me in the right direction.
"Um... does Bright have any objections?" the muscular man asked cautiously.
Bright glanced at the name above the other person's head. The name and physique suggested a burly, imposing figure. However, this was a game world, and one couldn't simply judge someone's personality based on their appearance and name. Judging from appearances, the other person's personality was likely the opposite.
This is understandable. People who are timid and cautious in real life may be bold and outspoken online, or even radical trolls. They may deliberately use such names and create such character models because they may lack these qualities in real life.
Most players in Mirandil have only been in the game for seven or eight years, with some having been in it for more than ten years. Players in the North District should be about the same. This guy and Sweet Rice Dumpling are two contrasting characters. The former is a macho man who turned into a loli, while this guy is probably the opposite.
"What is your profession?" Brett asked after thinking for a moment.
"I am a shield warrior," the other party quickly replied.
"Was this a job you chose or were you forced into?"
Being able to secure a combat profession shows that the person is very hardworking and competitive in this world.
"I fought for it." The muscular man thought for a moment and said, "At that time, I had the opportunity to become a berserker. My team mainly carried out hunting missions. Berserkers were usually responsible for the main attack and decapitation, while shield warriors were responsible for protection and depleting the prey's strength. They were support types. I... chose the latter."
"Why?" Bright asked curiously. "According to what you said, your team is mainly responsible for hunting, so the berserkers who are in charge of the main attack should have the highest status, right? The role of the shield warriors is to deplete the prey's strength, which is not only thankless but also requires testing the prey's initial strength, which is quite risky."
"I..." The muscular man didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe... I feel that I am not up to the task, and I lack some courage. But the most important reason is that I feel very satisfied because I can protect my teammates and make them trust me and feel safe."
"You are a strong yet gentle person, Mr. Macho..." Bright said with a smile.
"?" The other person was taken aback. How did this guy know my ID? Holy crap... to say my name so seriously, how embarrassing...
"The Shadow faction's mission is to hunt down the elves, while the elves' mission is to protect the fire. From your description, you might be better suited for the latter, but I must warn you that both hunting and protecting require the most brutal strategic maneuvering. Once the factions are decided, it's a life-or-death struggle, irreconcilable. You need to think this through!"
"I..." The muscular man thought for a moment, then finally said, "I have a few teammates, but you said the mission here can't be revealed, right?"
"Given your excellent character, I can give you a chance, but only with your companions in the city. You can discuss it with them before making a decision. However, once you leave Holy Stone City, you must keep it absolutely secret. I trust you, and if your so-called teammates leak the secret, you will also have to bear the corresponding responsibility."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Bright, I'll be right there, please wait for me!" The muscular man ran outside without stopping, his movements as clumsy as a wild boar.
Wang Ye emerged from the shadows, looked at the muscular man, and frowned slightly: "He's a reliable teammate. You said before that you wouldn't deliberately guide us to choose a side, but you still seem to have a bias."
After Bright reached an agreement with the shadow, Wang Ye was curious. Bright didn't seem to be on the side of the shadow, nor did he seem to be on the side of the elves. What exactly did he want to do?
Is it just an NPC that simply issues quests?
"He asked me himself, and I just gave him reasonable advice based on his personality as best I could." Bright looked at Wang Ye: "And you? Have you made your choice yet?"
Wang Ye frowned. He still couldn't see through the person in front of him. The other party chose to cooperate with the shadow, which could give the player the seed of shadow, but still gave the player two choices. What was his purpose?
So how should I choose?
He knew that once the faction choice was made, it could not be changed. His choice was not only his own, but also included the choices of Yu Nu Wugua, Li Gou Dan, and even... Wang Gou Dan!
"In terms of advantages, the Shadow faction actually has more advantages." Bright looked at the gray city outside and said calmly, "I can give you the Seed of Shadow right now and transform you, but you may not be able to find the Seed of the Elf, and even if you do find it, you will be at a disadvantage and be hunted down."
"But you still want us to choose the elves..." Wang Ye frowned.
"Of course," Bright laughed. "You guys are obviously from the Good Order camp."
Wang Ye: "
""
But which faction are you on?
Is it neutral order?
"Have you thought it through? There's no rush..."
""
"We choose the elves!" Wang Ye said directly.
"Was this your idea, or the idea of that Rain Woman?" Bright asked curiously.
It seems the other party just consulted with the Rain Woman, so this outcome is definitely not due to personal will.
"It was the result of a team discussion, Mr. Bright."
Blake nodded, somewhat curious about the Rain Woman's choice. Besides visiting him, the Shadow had also visited the Inquisitor and Lady Eliza. He didn't know what Lady Eliza had been promised, but given her personality, it was highly likely that she had joined the Shadow's camp.
The Rain Woman is helping the other side, yet she's chosen to stand on the opposite side?
That's really interesting.
"So... is there a mission, Mr. Bright?"
Upon hearing this, Bright looked at his intelligence notebook.
Intelligence 1: The members of the Heart of the Forest are about to arrive at the place where the Elf Robes were scattered. Successfully activating the ritual will summon an 80th-level Elf creature.
Intelligence 2: The opening ceremony will open a barrier passage inside the forest. If the barrier process is invaded by shadows, it will lead to the shadows invading the barrier, and the last World Tree may be infected by the shadows.
Intelligence 3: The player who bestows the Seed of Shadow should try to prevent the ritual from succeeding completely, because apart from the arrival of the shadow, no faction in the world at this stage can kill an 8,000-level elf creature, and if the elf faction cannot complete the ritual, it currently has no protective power.
Intelligence 4: The first-stage talent bestowed by the Shadows is: Shadow Transformation [Can transform the body into a shadow for one second, freely traversing physical entities. Under the influence of light, it can stretch, deform, and even attack the enemy's shadow. The duration of Shadow Transformation is related to your level and spiritual power.] Shadow Body [As a child of the Shadows, you have a certain immunity to darkness, chaos, and curses. Learning this type of magic doubles the effect. You will have a certain fear of holy light and fire.] Shadow Ability [Has the ability to materialize reality through shadow. At the initial stage, it can only corrode a small amount of matter. The shape of the material material formed by shadow can change according to will and light. Within the shadow's domain, all shadows are at your disposal. The range of Shadow Transformation is related to spiritual power.]
Intelligence 5: The first stage of elven bloodline talents are: Longevity [Level one elves can live for thousands of years. They can leverage this lifespan advantage, accumulate knowledge, and temper their bodies. Elves only enter old age in their last hundred years, maintaining their peak condition for a long time after adulthood.], Natural Affinity [Elves are naturally close to nature and elements, possessing affinity for earth, fire, water, and wind, making them ideal for elemental mages.], Spiritual Language [Elves master the language of all things, able to communicate with any animal, plant, magical beast, and even the elements of heaven and earth, making them excellent trackers.], Shapeshifting [Elves are born with shapeshifting abilities. Those with good talent will be natural druids, able to transform into any magical beast by hunting it and inherit its talents!]
Oh my god...
Bright looked at the last two pieces of information and was speechless. No wonder humans could only be relegated to the bottom in ancient times. What a difference in talent! Some people are born with certain things. What can humans compare with?
Overall, those in the Shadow faction are better suited to become assassins, curse masters, or other powerful melee classes, while elves are better suited to become rangers or elemental mages.
Elves are long-lived, an option the Shadow People likely cannot offer. This means the nobles will definitely favor the elves, so the Shadows need to eliminate them as soon as possible to prevent them from resisting the Shadows through the human elite. After all, both the Shadows and the elves need humans to inherit their positions, and the elves clearly have an advantage.
"The people of the Heart of the Forest will find the Elven Robe and will hold an Elven ritual there, and the Shadow Faction will definitely go to sabotage it!" Bright looked at Wang Ye: "The Heart of the Forest is a group of fanatics, and many of them actually rely on Shadow power for their strength. The elves chose the wrong people from the start. You must find a way to stop the ritual and steal the Elven Robe!"
Wang Ye immediately received the task.
[Protect the Elven Flame. The ritual of the cult's Heart of the Forest carries enormous risks. You must be wary of assassinations by the Shadow Faction and prevent them from completing the final ritual.]
In other words, you must protect the people of the Heart of the Forest before they find the Elven Robes, and once they do, you must stop them or even destroy them as much as possible.
Wang Ye frowned deeply. As expected, they were at a disadvantage. The mission looked much more difficult than that of the Shadow faction.
It goes without saying that the Shadow faction's mission should be the opposite of theirs.
Before the people of the Heart of the Forest find the Elf Robe, kill them all. No one can find the Elf Robe, and it will age rapidly and die on its own.
If the people of the Heart of the Forest find the Elf Robe, they must help them initiate the ritual, giving the shadows a chance to invade the World Tree!
