Chapter 61: Please Come This Way, There Are Many Monsters Here
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Lorne commanded Small Artillery to control the entire battlefield. Arrows burning with the flames of death shot out from its hands, piercing the heads of the demonized black wolves.
Soon, nearly 30 demonized black wolves fell to the ground.
Lorne looked at his current elf reputation and found that he had 300 points.
However, he also realized that the monsters here would not give him experience.
This might have something to do with the challenge mission.
It was also very likely that it was because Lorne had yet to change his class.
But whatever the reason, he did not care, because to Lorne, the Elf Race Reputation was many times more valuable than some cheap experience points!
But at that moment, the elf girl, Mayra, walked up and said, “Esteemed adventurer, the eyes of the dragon are indeed sharp. Your charm is truly astonishing. There is actually such a powerful monster who is willing to follow in your footsteps.”
“Ding! Elf Leader Mayra’s affinity+1!”
There was even an affinity bonus?
Lorne could not help but glance at Mayra. This elf was not normal.
In “Divine Realm”, only high-level NPCs or important NPCs would have an affinity system. Moreover, if this NPC’s quality was lower, it would be more generous when giving affinity points.
For example, the missionary in the Beginner Village had his affinity increased by 50 points each time.
However, the affinity that appeared this time was only 1 point.
This forced Lorne to doubt her identity.
After all, according to standard rules, the higher the level of an NPC, the harder it was to obtain a favorable impression. Furthermore, the affinity produced each time would be very low.
If that was the case, then Mayra’s identity was not as simple as that of the Elf Leader.
Of course, this might also be the unique affinity system of the elves. Everything still needed to be closely observed.
“When you give up everything for freedom, you will naturally receive endless support.” Lorne appeared calm in the face of her praise as he answered.
His words were highly approved by Mayra.
“I will always remember this. At the same time, I thank you for protecting us injured elves.”
The affinity between the two sides increased by 5 points.
“Miss Mayra, it is my pleasure to serve the elves.”
With a smile, Lorne said, “Now, please follow behind me. I will disperse all intruders for you!”
“Yes, adventurer. We will keep close to the party, and we will reach Iron Skull City safely. I am confident in you.”
“Ding! Elf Leader Mayra’s affinity+2!”
Communicating properly with NPCs would give him unexpected benefits. The key points written in the game strategy were indeed good.
Lorne realized that the affinity between the two sides had increased again. This was much faster than simply killing monsters.
…
Next, Lorne led the elves through the forest.
In fact, there was a certain direction to go on the dungeon map, but Lorne deliberately avoided the right path and led the elves around the forest as best he could.
In this dungeon, the monsters were like gold pieces scattered on the ground to Lorne. As long as he was willing to spend time, he could obtain countless rewards.
Moreover, the number of monsters here was astonishing.
The team had not gone far when they encountered a new monster.
It was a group of demonized fanged boars!
But before they could attack, Lorne had his pets attack.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Countless arrows burning with black flames and huge green arrows descended from the sky, raining down on the monster’s camp.
-73
-1550! (Critical)
-761
-1550! (Critical)
-767
In just one breath, several monsters were directly killed, and the remaining monsters only had a trace of health left.
After the rapid rain of arrows, the entire battle quickly ended.
Ding!
“You have killed the demonized fanged boar x30. Elf Reputation+300.”
“You protected the elves. Elf Leader Mayra’s affinity for you+1.”
“Your noble quality has been approved by Elf Leader Mayra, affinity+1.”
“…”
As this wave of monsters fell, another series of notifications appeared.
Lorne gained 300 Elf Race Reputation points and 4 affinity points from Mayra.
At this point, Lorne was basically certain.
As long as he was in this dungeon, he would be able to obtain a high amount of reputation points and income from the elves, and it would be easier for him to obtain Mayra’s good impression.
Because of this, Lorne made up his mind. He had to clean up the entire Dark Forest, even if he had to miss the time limit of the mission from the Iron Skull City’s commander, Klent.
After all, the number of hidden missions was even rarer.
Furthermore, this was a hidden mission of the elves!
The latter was several times more valuable than the former, perhaps even a hundred times more!
Lorne could even believe that if the guild leader of the Sunset Guild had known that this mission could generate so much elf reputation, he would have probably spent a million to buy it.
Even if Lorne could not be bribed, he would definitely gather the members of the Sunset Guild and fight a grand battle to the death with Lorne.
“Perhaps this is luck.”
Ever since entering this game, Lorne had finally felt the presence of the Goddess of Luck.
Think about it, if he had not been lucky enough to obtain the Dragon Race Reputation given by the Dragon of Light, would he have been able to obtain this mission?
The answer was no.
Therefore, this was a very coincidental phenomenon. All the credit should belong to the Goddess of Luck.
“Very good!”
Continue moving!
…
“Dear Miss Mayra, please come this way. There are more monsters here… Oh, no, I mean, this is the safest route.”
Lorne was already prepared to wander in this forest for a long time. As for the other players’ levels, he did not care anymore.
Compared to the reputation of the elves, the mere difference in level was nothing.
However, speaking of levels, it seemed that he could check the level ranking now?
Lorne opened the system panel.
Soon, he discovered a new unlocked page—[Iron Skull City Ranking]!
