Another Life: Elf Archer

The Demon-Conquering Hall has nine rooms in front and seven rooms in depth. It has a golden box with a trough at the bottom, forked hands supporting the spine, wide columns and a wide platform, high brackets, and deep eaves. There are no complicated decorations. It is simple and elegant but also powerful. .xssodu.

There is an inconspicuous side door in the northwest corner of the Demon-Conquering Hall. It has a wooden frame and a painted surface, and is also carved with fairy peach gourds and flying cranes and autumn geese. Compared with the window lattice on the side, the only difference is that it is connected to the ground.

Nian Nian and Qi Youfeng have been waiting in front of the door for a while.

Sitting on the floor every year, dozing off with his chin in his hands, Qi Youfeng leaned against the palace pillar and was carefully pondering the content of his advanced mission.

Nian Nian, who had his head in his arms, narrowed his eyes slightly. There were already three strangers around him.

The three of them were all men, dressed in coarse linen, similar to Qi Youfeng's usual attire. They had an extra sash on their backs, their waists were not tightly tied, and they did not carry swords or swords. They did not look like they would often use force.

Qi Youfeng had already started chatting with the three senior brothers. Nian Nian folded his arms and lowered his head. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he secretly glanced at the side door.

There is another layer underground in Beitai City.

It is said that the underground layer is the basis for the normal operation of the city.

The Moh family's workshop is there, the medicine garden of Shennong Valley is there, Mingtang has arranged a city protection formation below according to the pattern of Bagua City, and the Yunji Sword Sect also moved in the Jiange Sutra Hall.

Nian Nian rubbed his brows, seeming to be still a little troubled.

The underground floor can only be entered and exited through this side door, and not just anyone can pass through this inconspicuous side door.

I haven’t tried it every year.She knew she wouldn't be able to get in.

The location of Beitai City is really tricky.

Nian Nian yawned, stood up and greeted the three people sweetly, while curiously poking at the side door. When her finger hurt, she quickly retracted her hand, looking at the red fingertips and she felt like crying. tears.

"Isn't that too cruel?" Nian Nian held up his fingers that suddenly became red and swollen, and sternly condemned him.

"Your hands are too fast." Qi Youfeng took her hand and panicked for a moment.The three NPCs had just exclaimed the word "no" in unison, but they still couldn't stop Nian Nian's lightning-fast hand gestures.

"My hands are useless and I can't draw the bow anymore." Nian Nian pursed his lips.

"Don't you still have——" Qi Youfeng paused and smiled, "Then you will stay in the city to rest?"

His mission had to be carried out in the mountains outside the city, which would take about three or four days. Seeing as it was like this every year, did he not want to show off his skills, or did he not want to leave the city?

"No," Nian Nian hung on Qi Youfeng and kissed him loudly twice on the face, "I definitely want to be with you~"

Coughing sounds broke out, and Qi Youfeng's three classmates probably had never seen such an open-minded girl. Their faces were all red and their ears were hot, and they turned around, not daring to look directly at her.

"Can you leave the city?" Qi Youfeng suppressed Nian Nian's nonsense and asked softly in her ear.

"It must be possible." Nian Nian also bit his ears and straightened his collar, "Don't worry, I won't mess up your mission."

Qi Youfeng took a deep look at her, and without asking any more questions, he took her to introduce her to the three shy classmates.

A few minutes later, Qi Youfeng, Niannian, Quchi, Quzao and Qudou walked out of the north gate of Beitai City, stepping on the unmelted ice and snow in early spring, looking for the mountain lake drawn on the map in Qi Youfeng's hand. moor.

The three brothers of the Qu family - also known as the three tools of the Qu family every year - are disciples of Mohist ink craftsmen and are good at hydrogeology. They went out of the city this time to explore underground veins and nearby rock quality.

Water is the source of life.

Whether it is the residents in the city, the soldiers and civilians who will be moved to the border in the future, or the caravan travelers, they all need a healthy and stable water source.

There are snow-capped mountains and deserts here, and the soil is mostly gravel with strong water permeability. It is assumed that the underground water resources are quite abundant.

Hearing this, Niannian and Qi Youfeng thought of the big sea-like lake in Hawarizh City and felt deeply convinced.

Therefore, vertical wells can be dug at water veins, culverts can be built, groundwater can be diverted to flow along trade routes, and artificial lakes can be built at appropriate water outlets to facilitate irrigation and gather some fixed villages and towns.

Qi Youfeng understood.This is the karez.

The three brothers of the Qu family were only responsible for exploring the water veins, determining the location of the first shaft and the direction of the culvert, supplying water to all parts of the city, and then issuing a drawing.

As for the subsequent construction and use of the hundreds of shafts and thousands of miles of culverts, we have to wait until the immortal bosses have completely wiped out the monsters along the trade routes.

Qi Youfeng's role is to protect these three people, try to meet their requirements, and send these three people back to the city safely.

Year after year he shook his head.

Since it was a mission, something was bound to happen in the middle. Looking at the technical geek-like temperament of these three people, you knew that they would definitely create a steady stream of difficulties for themselves.

If she didn't come, Qi Youfeng would have to take care of three lively targets by himself, which gave him a headache just thinking about it.

"Thank me?" Braving the cold wind in the valley, Nian Nian wrapped himself in a cloak and shivered together with Qi Youfeng.

"I was wondering if you would catch a cold." Qi Youfeng tightened the hat on her cloak and wrapped a scarf around her.

"That's so inhumane." Nian Nian clenched his fists, with one hand under his cloak and the other in Qi Youfeng's palm.

"After all, your situation is a bit special." Qi Youfeng said softly, shielding her from the wind.

"That's why I say it's inhumane. It would be nice if the cold and heat didn't invade my youth and age." He curled his lips every year without shying away from it.

"It would be nice to grow up a little bit." Qi Youfeng withdrew his gaze and raised his eyebrows.

Nian Nian rolled her eyes at him, pinched the tender flesh of his palm and twisted it.

"We should go into the water later. Looking at the map, the lake should be connected to the underground water veins." Qi Youfeng changed the subject and looked at the surrounding barren mountains.

March is approaching, and the snow on the mountains has not completely melted. Black patches and white patches are scattered on the mountainside, and there is a hint of cold air.

The lake water at this time is probably not too warm.

Players have the body temperature regulation function produced by the system. It is cold, but not so cold that their hands and feet are cold. The three brothers of the Qu family are already strong men. Not only are they walking like flying at the moment, but they are still sweating faintly on their foreheads.

"Alas." Nian Nian suddenly frowned.

"Then you still want to go?" Qi Youfeng turned around.They haven't gone far yet, and it's not too late to return to Beitai City.

"Go." Nian Nian gritted his teeth.

"I'll just assume you're here just for me." Qi Youfeng smiled.

"Okay, but don't expect me to help." Nian Nian was very honest.

"Okay, if you have something to do, you go first, and I will take the rear." Qi Youfeng accepted his fate.

"Well..." Niannian hesitated and shook Qi Youfeng's arm, "I will still save you after confirming that I will not die."

Qi Youfeng paused, took Nian Nian's hand, put it to his mouth and kissed her. In her somewhat disgusted eyes, his smile was as bright as the warm sun: "You are indeed my Nian Nian."

——————————————————————————————————————————

"She went out of town? What was she doing out of town?"

Simil seemed to be in disbelief and asked Sara again.

"Are you sure that the selfish side of her character has been magnified?" Simil asked again.

They had just had a "calm" conversation, and Simil had tried his best to save his own life, and he had also told a considerable part of the truth.

For example, the existence of the True God Temple camp, the fact that Niannian had already inadvertently joined the camp, and the role she was supposed to play in this world mission.

——Key, a key that completely opens the door to the camp.

After explaining the meaning of this "key", Simiel willingly accepted Nick's fist, but still avoided the sledgehammer of Dwarf York.

The remaining members of the Christmas Clown mercenary group were also watching with eagerness. Simil quickly expressed his regret and the remedial measures that he followed closely every year.

The Temple of the True God does have some relationship with the demons, so those who have actually come into contact with this camp will 100% be targeted by the demons every year.

Simil originally wanted to follow the current and let Niannian go find the "passage" hidden by the demons. He then followed in Niannian's footsteps and profited.

The members of the Christmas Clown Mercenary Group were not interested in Simil's nagging camp plan. Simil also shut up under the threat of a sword, a knife, a sledgehammer and several ice pick blades, and said directly. Answers to the questions that Nick and others care about most.

——Nick They only care about one thing.

Nian Nian, who was possessed by demons and lost in the "passage", could be controlled by Simil under the constraints of the system's rules. The side effect was that she could never return to the elven tribe.

Just as Nian Nian felt it a long time ago, those arrows - the breath of the True God Temple - are mutually exclusive with the essence of the elves who love life and love peace.

Of course, ordinary players who join the camp will be fine - it's okay to wander around the Jaces Forest with those arrows every year.

But the existence of NPC-like people who have been to the "passage" is not certain - this is one of Simil's important plans after confirming that he is not a player every year.

However, year after year, the destructive power on the underlying data was revealed. The binding force of the system rules was almost non-existent, and most of the effect of the plan was cut off.The instigator, Simil, changed his mind again, and has been following Nian Nian ever since, hoping to use his presence to attract the attention of the demons for her and prevent her from being possessed.

He did block many demon attacks against her, but she still got hit.Simil felt guilty.

"This is the solution. I need to confirm first what kind of influence she was affected." Simil said.

If the self-centered side of her character was really magnified, the whole thing would be much easier to handle.Such people will act with self-preservation as their first principle, and they don't have to worry about their relationship with the demons being recklessly exposed every year.

"How do you want to confirm?" Sara looked at Nick, who had a cold expression on his face, and decided to continue negotiations on behalf of the group leader.

"Hmm... Why don't you test that Qi Youfeng, for example, if it's a life-and-death situation every year -"

"no!"

Before Simiel could finish speaking, all the members of the Christmas Clown Mercenary Group interrupted him in unison.

"No matter what the outcome is, this will become a rift between the two of them." Sarah was relatively calm and comforted York, who raised the sledgehammer again.

"All temptations to human nature are moral kidnappings!" Kraft, who seldom spoke, roared.

"Don't you have any other purpose?" Hyde looked at Simir suspiciously.

Simil spread his hands and he just said casually.Moreover, the test of character cannot escape the word human nature, right?

"I'll do it." Nick stood up.

"What are you going to do?" Simil was curious.Let Nian Nian choose to save Nick or save himself at the critical moment of life and death?

"Just ask a few questions, you idiot." Nick didn't bother to look at him.

Simil touched the bridge of his nose, which was still a little sore, and quietly retreated.

"What are you going to ask?" Others were actually a little curious.

"I guess," Dion smiled, "it's a question like 'Qi Youfeng and I fell into the water at the same time, who do you save first'?"

Nick gave him two middle fingers.

——Because he guessed it right.
