Chapter 318: Elf Contract
“Many years ago, adventurers protected the last Ancient Tree of Life of the elves, so they had a special relationship with adventurers. Originally, there were strict rules against all races, but to adventurers, there was another special privilege.”
“Despite the taboo of the elves, if anyone wants to form a relationship with the elves, they must be adventurers.”
“However, because the era is too ancient, the requirement for this possibility has become higher and higher. To this day, many High Elves do not want to acknowledge this rule, but because of this history, it is impossible to erase. However, they have also thought of a way to let adventurers who want to be tied to the elves pass a very difficult test.”
“Only by passing this test can you obtain the recognition of the elves. With this mark, it’s equivalent to the elves acknowledging your ability.”
“The teleportation circle that originally led to the test is owned by all the High Nobles and by the Night Elves. However, ever since we were driven away by the Emerald City, we no longer have this right. Therefore, Mr. Tyrant, you have to go to the Emerald City to enter.”
“Before you obtain recognition, you must not let others know about Aisha’s identity. You can’t even let others know that there is a bond between you and Aisha. Otherwise, you will encounter the hatred of the elves and might even be blocked from entering the dungeon of the test.” Elwyn looked at him seriously and said earnestly.
Ding!
“Game Announcement, congratulations on accepting a hidden mission: [Elf Contract]!”
“Mission Description: Head to the Emerald City and enter the test dungeon set by the elves for adventurers. Complete this dungeon and obtain the recognition of the elf contract.”
The system notification sounded.
His missions increased again.
First of all, he needed to go to the Elven Holy Temple in the Emerald City to obtain the needed Soil of Life.
Then, he had to obtain the Natural Crystal that could repair the divine equipment.
Finally, if he passed the forbidden test of the elves, he would be qualified to contract with them.
These three missions were not easy to complete, especially the last one.
From Elwyn, it was known that the High Elves were also very hostile to adventurers. They despised adventurers and would not give them a chance to contract an elf.
The reason for arranging this test was mainly to not break the previous rules. After all, they were set by the ancient Elven Sages.
Therefore, it was obvious that the taboo test that Lorne was about to pass was very difficult for a man to pass.
However, Lorne was confident in his strength.
If this test arranged by the system could be cleared, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he would definitely be able to fulfill the requirement.
His strength had already exceeded the players countless times. If even he could not complete the mission, it would be an impossible test for everyone.
If that was the case, there was nothing to say. At most, he would break off all friendly relations with the elves. In any case, no one could tear off his relationship with Aisha.
With that in mind, Lorne left the Night Elves’ camp.
…
On the way, Lorne noticed that Aisha was feeling a little better.
The grim situation that the Night Elves were facing had always worried her.
But with Lorne’s help, the situation of the Night Elves gradually improved, giving Aisha hope.
When she walked into the free forest, Aisha was clearly much livelier, and there were many smiles on her face.
Of course, a large part of the reason was that the two of them already had 190,000 affinity points and were only a step away from being close friends.
Therefore, their interaction gradually became intimate.
Moreover, as long as Lorne was around, Aisha felt safe. Even if she knew that there were other elves ahead, she was still filled with confidence.
The gem-like eyes were filled with trust in Lorne.
However, as he made more intimate contact, Lorne received a sudden warning.
Ding!
“Your relationship with Aisha is not enough to progress further. Your frivolous behavior has caused your affinity to -1.”
Pfft—
He only wanted to check Aisha’s body.
This system was too unfair.
Lorne was speechless.
Time passed quickly.
After traveling through the Nature Forest for five hours, they finally saw a huge city, but unlike Iron Skull City, it was built on a huge ancient tree.
Yes, it was built on a tree.
Standing on this mountaintop, what appeared in front of him was a towering tree.
The trunk of the large tree was like a towering mountain, and at the top was a huge island. Various huge branches intertwined, supporting the entire huge island. The huge Emerald City was surprisingly located on this Sky Island.
“That’s Emerald City?”
Aisha stared ahead, her entire being filled with yearning. She had lived on the run since she was young and had never seen this legendary elf city.
Because of her hostility towards the High Elves, she hated the Emerald City and even thought that it was a city where demons gathered.
However, who knew that the Emerald City that her mother had mentioned many times was actually like this?
This was beyond her imagination.
Emerald City!
A city in the sky!
It was so beautiful.
If only it had not done those things to the Night Elves.
Aisha felt many emotions.
At this moment, Lorne gently put on her hood and said, “There’s no need to envy them. In the future, the Cold Desolate Dragon City will gradually walk towards glory. After the basic construction of the city is completed, I’ll let the gnomes carve out an area and replicate this Emerald City. I even want to build a better place than them, and you will be the queen of that city!”
“Queen…”
When she heard these words, Aisha was stunned.
To a girl who was completely ignorant of love, such sweet words were like a nuclear bomb blooming in front of her, causing her mind to go blank.
Because of this, Lorne gained 3,000 affinity points again, inching even closer to becoming her ‘Close Friend’.
