Chapter 675: Quietly Deep
The forest was dark in the middle of the night.
Alfen crossed his knees and leaned against the trunk of a large tree, feeling the dry and hard touch coming from behind, without saying a word. After the ecstasy of the rest of her life, the elf girl at this moment only felt deep sadness and pain. Before, he only cared about running for his life, but now, when the crisis of life is far away, the sadness of losing his companion strikes again, like a cold wind that mercilessly envelops Orfen's body and mind. Every time she closed her eyes, she would always see her companions being killed by the monsters to cover herself. All that rang in her ears were their desperate screams and wails, and the heart-wrenching scene came back to Orphen's mind over and over again, like a curse of death, tightly entangled her. All Alphen could do was grit her teeth, close her eyes, and endure what happened.
"Are you okay? My sister? ”
A soft voice rang in Orfen's ears, dispelling the illusion in front of her. Hearing this, Orphin hurriedly opened her eyes and looked at Jenny, who was sitting on the other side, quietly watching her, and then couldn't help blushing slightly, and then replied in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, my sister......... I'm just ............"
"I understand."
Jenny didn't look out of the ordinary at Orfen's words, but smiled slightly.
"Losing a friend is always a painful thing, it doesn't matter about time, although I don't know what happened to you, but I can feel the sadness and pain in your heart. If you don't mind, can you tell me what happened? ”
"This ........."
Hear Jenny's inquiry. Alphen was stunned for a moment, and then she looked at the elven ranger in front of her again.
"My sisters. Aren't you a native of the Forest Country? ”
"Nope."
Faced with Alfen's question, Jenny shook her head unsurprisingly.
"I'm from another tribe in Kalcha. Before that, I had been out and about. It wasn't until I heard that something was wrong with the Elven Forest that I came back to find out. But I didn't expect it to come to this............"
As she spoke, Jenny looked up at the woods around them. As she said, the Elven Forest has completely lost its original beauty at this moment. As far as the eye can see, withered trees and yellow bushes are everywhere. The fresh green grass on the ground has long been buried in the dust. The cheerful chirping of the birds can no longer be heard, but instead there is a high-pitched cry that makes people shudder from nowhere. It's the same as the rumored beautiful serenity. The fairyland-like country of the elves is far away, and the moonlight is shining, and you can even see the thick fog deep in the dense forest. From time to time, the dry branches danced with the cold wind, like ghosts dancing wildly. The icy wind whistled through the cracks, and from time to time it brought a series of shrill noises, sounding like the wails of a banshee, or like the screams of ghosts. Other than that, the entire forest was quiet, dead as a cemetery. Even the moonlight in the sky. It also looks extremely white, reflected on the earth, and from a distance, the stones look like pure white skeletons. It's terrifying.
It's hell at all.
"In fact, it's even more terrifying than that........."
Hearing Jenny's emotion, Alphen couldn't help but shudder.
"We have no idea where these plagues are coming from. It is also unknown how exactly it spreads. All I know is that wherever the terrible plague goes, the plants will die. Animals also get sick and die. Not only that, but even mountain springs and streams. It also emits a disgusting putrid stench. But this is just the beginning, we did not expect that those animals that died of disease would actually be resurrected, and ..............."
At this point, Orphin gasped, then gritted his teeth, and tears appeared in his eyes. In fact, that's why they failed. Originally, they also thought that the biggest effect of these plagues was to make those animals and plants die. But what I didn't expect was that those animals and plants that died due to the plague would actually be resurrected and turned into even more terrible monsters. Because of this, in an unguarded manner, Orfin's patrol was suddenly hit by those mutated animals and plants like a storm, and except for Orfin, everyone else had already died in it, and there was no chance of survival. The giant bear was just one of those mutated creatures, in fact, there were other monsters with fleshy wings, and cheetahs with their large mouths split all the way to their abdomen. The postures of the animals infected by the plague and transformed only made Orphen shudder when he remembered them.
Nabelius did a beautiful job...............
Hearing Alfen's intermittent description, Jenny -- no, Jenn sighed softly in the depths of her heart, and then couldn't help but sigh.
That's right, the elf woman named Jenny in front of her is the transformation of Jenn. It wasn't that difficult for him to play an identity, not to mention that Jenn's talent could completely change his race, so for Jenn, it was just a piece of cake. And the reason why this image was chosen is because both elves and dark elves belong to the supremacy of women. Although the elves are not as distantly inclined as the dark elves in this regard, they are not far behind. If Jenn wants to gain the trust of the elves in the shortest possible time, break into the elven royal family. So this identity is relatively convenient.
Jenn wasn't surprised by the scene Orphin depicted. You must know that Nabelius grew up listening to Jenn talk about Resident Evil, and since she was a child, she has developed an unusually strong interest in the virus that can mutate. So after awakening his talent field, the little guy made creating Resident Evil his greatest pleasure. And now it seems that the results are clearly remarkable. If what Jenn encountered before was only the level of one generation of Resident Evil, now it should be almost four generations. It seems that Nabelius is also keeping up with the times and keeping up with the times.
It can be seen that the little guy is going farther and farther on this road.........
He sighed again in his heart, and then Jenn put away his thoughts and looked at Orphin again.
"So, my sister, what are you going to do next?"
"Now that the situation is urgent, I think I should go back as soon as possible and inform the queen mother of this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, the situation will be even worse!"
"The Queen Mother?"
Hearing this, Jenn couldn't help but be stunned. If he remembered correctly, the information he had received from Irimp before showed that Her Royal Highness the First Princess of the Elven Kingdom had gone to the Holy White Tower in the name of the Son of the Nine Saints, so could this girl who came out now be .........
"You're the Silver Moon Princess?"
"Yes..............."
Orphin was visibly shy at the title, but she nodded slightly. Hearing Orfen's answer, Jenn immediately figured out what was going on. He was wondering just now, judging from the previous battle between Orphin and the giant bear, this young elf obviously did not have any particularly strong combat power. And she herself said that it was others who sacrificed their lives to let her escape. At that time, Jenn was curious about what this elf girl could do to make others give their lives for her. Now I finally understand the truth -- because standing in front of me is none other than the second princess of the Elven Kingdom, the Silver Moon Princess Orfin.
Jenn didn't think it was strange that Her Royal Highness would lead a patrol into the hinterland to investigate. The hierarchy among elves is not as clear as among humans. If Orphin were the princess of the human race, then she would certainly not act rashly. But the Elven royal family doesn't have much privilege in this regard. And it's similar to the dark elves, because the female elves have more power, so they are generally responsible for leading the search. It's like in the Dark Regions, where ordinary search patrols don't require the help of those female dark elves, but if it involves a special operation to please the spider, there must be a female priest in charge of leading the team.
From this point of view, the same is true for the surface elves, so it is not surprising that in the current situation, this silver moon princess would lead a patrol into the hinterland.
"I see...............
Thinking of this, Jenn nodded. It didn't particularly show how much respect she had for Orfin, after all, the hierarchy between the elves was very thin, although as the princess of the elven kingdom, Orphin had a noble status, but most elves didn't need to pay special salutes to her.
But...............
Jenn looked up again, looking at Orphin in front of him. The elf girl in front of her looked a little cramped and shy under her gaze. Obviously, this princess is still a pure and immaculate piece of jade, and the reward has not had time to polish it well. And at this moment, a light suddenly flashed in front of him, and the next moment, a quest tooltip that Jenn was no longer familiar with appeared in front of his eyes.
[The pure soul wanders in the darkness, the crisp cry lures the eyes of the hunters, the unpolished jade is hidden in the solid stone coat, who can cut through the solid protection, skillfully polish the round and smooth soul brilliance hidden in it? -- The Death of the Robin. The falling moon transforms into a succubus, and you get a random spell, and the transformation strength is increased by +1)]
Looking at the task prompt in front of him, a faint smile flashed in Jenn's eyes.
This system is really playable. (To be continued.) )
