Another Life: Elf Archer

"Hahaha!"

"Look at him! He's still scared by you after all this time!"

"May God bless that poor man, hahaha!"

William, who was sitting under the tree, leaned back, wanting to get a little away from the boring people and their boring laughter.

Although he didn't know these people, the mercenary group they belonged to was well-known.

The Silver Button Mercenary Group, William lowered his head and thought, I once wanted to join, but unfortunately I was not strong enough at the time and was not noticed by Captain Patton, who was nicknamed "Knowing people as well as goods".

Now it seems that being rejected that time was not a pity. Otherwise, if he had to be with these people, William felt that he would probably apply to withdraw from the group soon.

The poor man named Gou Ya didn't know what kind of terrible things he had suffered and what terrible shadows he had left behind. Now he is like a poor lamb that strayed into a pack of wolves, and can only tremble to support these things. The wolf makes fun.

William originally wanted to secretly remind this man that he might as well find an opportunity to escape, but during a casual conversation, he saw the strong hatred in this man's eyes and knew that this man actually had his own purpose, and it was not just A helpless, wretched creature.

William looked at Gou Ya, who was huddled up with his knees in his arms, and felt that the man's trembling seemed too great, and the panic on his face just now was too deliberate.

This man named Gou Ya buried his entire face in his arms, revealing only a deeply wrinkled forehead, which made William think that this man might be snickering.

William turned his eyes again to the silver-button holy mages with cheerful smiles and bright red faces. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he hid the little bit of contempt and contempt under his drooped eyelids.

William is a paladin, a paladin who has not yet sworn allegiance to any holy mage.

I don’t know since when, the combination of knights and mages has become the standard configuration of the human race in Gaia. Many paladins are looking for a powerful holy mage companion, and many holy mages are also waiting for a loyal paladin to protect them.

However, William felt that there was no need to worry about this kind of thing, so he temporarily became a lone knight.

William gently placed his right hand on the armor on his chest, silently reciting the Paladin's oath of protection in his heart.

This is his practice, for one day in the future, for a certain girl, a girl who smiles like a rose.

And the reason why he appeared in this remote mountain and got together with these strangers was so that he could have a gift worthy of the girl, which he could hand-deliver on the day of the oath.

But it seemed a bit difficult. William glanced at the people scattered in twos and threes resting in the forest.

Since setting off, William has been observing silently, and thanks to the fact that he is alone, he can quietly stay at the end of the team and observe the joking and talking of those in front.

The people of the Silver Button Mercenary Group made no secret of their identities, nor did they hide their familiarity with the bow and the elf, as if they were the owners of the bow, and everyone else was just a robber who got involved.

The operation to take hostages in the Hidden Flower Valley was only possible because of their hard work. Others did not know much about the situation and could not come up with a more convincing plan, so they could only follow the flow of people to the place called Tibetan Valley. The place of the Valley of Flowers.

Hidden Flower Valley, is it a place where many beautiful flowers are hidden?William thought aimlessly after reciting the Knight's Proclamation silently three times.

I heard from those people that the Hidden Flower Valley is a place where terrible monsters live. It seems to be a plant monster like a giant piranha.

However, these people in Silver Button didn't seem to care much about the existence of the monster. Instead, they often talked together with excited faces, with an unknown light flashing in their eyes.

Originally, William couldn't hear what these people were saying, but there were several holy mages of the wind system among the people traveling with him. They heard some fragments of words and then spread them around. When they reached William's ears, they became... "The piranha is the keeper of a treasure."

So it’s actually for the treasure, right?William looked at the holy mages who were still making fun of Gou Ya, and he regretted going with them.

What good is a treasure if it doesn't make her happy?

She has been obsessed with Yue Lingmu for a long, long time.

"Look at those people over there, do they look familiar?"

"I think so too. The one in the middle seems to be a pretty famous paladin."

Two words came to William's ears, and the three words Paladin caught his attention. He looked at the two people who were talking quietly, and followed their eyes to find the "famous" Paladin.

This man was dressed in silver armor and looked no different from the other Paladins.

But William knew that this paladin was indeed not as shabby as a nobody like him, because the armor on this man not only had various metallic lights flowing faintly, but the wrist armor on his right hand was also inlaid with a huge golden gem, surrounded by the gem. Although the pattern cannot be seen clearly, it can be seen that it is extremely delicate.

William looked down at the dull silver-gray armor and bare wrists on his body, and sighed secretly that his body was indeed too shabby.

Although the styles of the Paladin's armors are similar, there are huge differences between the different materials, and inlaying magic gems on the armor is an improvement method that only rich people can afford.

Because the metal materials that can support the power of magic gems are already of the highest quality, and the types of magic gems that can be used by paladins are also very small. Under the market rules of scarcity, the price of these gems has always been high. No less.

Of course, the benefits brought by this magic gem are also considerable.

For example, the golden gem in the hand of the paladin over there can improve the effect of the blessing obtained.

The reason why Paladins like to team up with Holy Mages is because they can accept the blessings of those Holy Mages, and different Holy Mages bring them different blessing effects.

For example, fire-based holy mages can increase their attack power, while earth-based holy mages can increase their endurance.

The effects of these blessing skills are often calculated in proportion, such as how much additional percentage of defense power is increased, etc., and the effect of the golden gem is to double the increased proportion.

A paladin with such good equipment should indeed be a celebrity, William thought with some jealousy.

The paladin seemed to notice William's gaze, turned his head and smiled humbly at him, then turned around and continued to chat and laugh with the people around him.

These ten people should have known each other for a long time. William looked at the people next to the paladin. They should also be from a certain mercenary group?It's a pity that these people have hidden their badges, as if they are deliberately concealing their identities.

They always walked together along the way, mingling among these people with different origins. They neither raised objections to this somewhat childish action, nor did they always anxiously ask about the specific location of Hidden Flower Valley like others, but just quietly Walking in the forest, it seemed as if they were aiming for the Hidden Flower Valley - not for the elf and the bow.

The ten people seemed to be headed by the paladin, and that paladin would always receive messages from far away from time to time.

Everyone here can naturally send and receive messages, except probably William who came alone.

Therefore, William noticed the frequency of the paladin sending and receiving messages: one was sent every hour, and one was received 10 minutes later. After reading it, he gathered with nine other people and talked behind the protective barrier of the wind holy mage. .

However, only messages were sent out in the past two hours, but no messages were sent back. William guessed that this person was probably reporting the situation here to someone outside the forest, and now he only needed to report and did not need further instructions from the outside world.

Is there no need for further instructions, or has the instruction been given and only needs to be carried out?

While thinking about it, William stood up and walked deeper into the forest with the others, heading towards the place called Hidden Flower Valley.
