▪️ELVEN AND DRAGON BANDITS
Relatively speaking, the strength of the rcenaries isn’t that much higher in comparison to Boxlunch’s team.
However, without their weapons to defend themselves, these smugglers are entirely no match for the players at all, and can only be chased down one by one by the agile elves and be rcilessly slaughtered unceremoniously.
There is nothing uncomfortable about it.
For one’s actions solely determined their stance.
Although these rcenaries are also human, Boxlunch’s teammates showed no hesitation in eliminating them at all.
It may seem cruel but in their eyes, this world is simply a ga and the NPCs of this world only co in two types;
Friendly and hostile, wholly represented by the green and red label, hovering above an NPCs’ head respectively.
These two contrasting colours determines most players stance on whether should they curry favors or eliminate a particular non-player character instead.
One’s race and status didn’t matter.
Anyone that’s shown in red simply needs to be eradicated.
And if they can’t beat soone, then simply call for more players to help.
Moreover, the ones participating in this sidequest is Boxlunch’s team, all of whom are experienced players in combat and are considered battle maniacs!
In just a few monts, more than a dozen rcenaries have already been killed by them as every fallen bodies were instantly turned into ashes the mont after they were slain.
Looking at the rapidly accumulating experience points within their own respective status screens, each participating players beca even more excited as their breathing turned much more heavier with each passing seconds.
“Don’t kill ! Please! I…I surrender!” Looking at these group of crazy elves, the last surviving rcenary was so scared that he involuntarily peed his pants and quickly knelt down as he begged for rcy.
However, so players easily caught up to him and casually asked, “Do you have any hidden quest?”
“H-Hidden quest? I… I don’t know…what t-that is.” The shivering man was left completely stunned as his mind turned blank, having no idea at all about the matter these crazy elves are asking him about.
“Then do you have any hidden information instead?”
“In…Information?”
“Tch, this guy’s useless…I guess he’s probably just an ordinary mob.”
“Lets just go ahead and kill him man, at least it’s a few thousand experience points.” Another player suggested as he curled up his lips and the kneeling rcenary was then killed just like that.
Looking at this brutal surreal scene from afar, Nightingale couldn’t help but be frozen in place as her eyes gradually beca cloudy.
These elves won’t spare even the ones who had already surrendered?
Upon seeing the few remaining rcenaries being killed off by the players, ryer no longer played around the two silver-ranked experts and instead just opted to pounced and bite the two experts before swallowing them in one bite.
“What the f***! Did Blackie just eat those two!?”
“Oh my god…ryer, those were two silver-ranked experts! At least leave so for us to kill!”
“Goddammit, how much experience points did eating those two give? My heart hurts so much! Such a waste!”
Seeing this scene, the players chasing the rcenaries felt heartbroken…
Nightingale, on the other hand, beca even more confused.
She looked at these wholly excited bloodthirsty elves bathed in cold blood and felt her mind go blank as chaos reigns within herself.
Do these insane and cruel elves really belong to the sa race as her?
She had initially thought there would be a big battle…
But she did not expect the human caravan, whom seed to be very powerful upon her eyes, be completely overwheld and eventually be destroyed in such a bizarre fashion…
For a mont, Nightingale couldn’t snap out of this sudden change of outlook.
After exterminating every personnel within the human caravan, the players’ actions still didn’t stop from there and began looking around as if searching for sothing valuable.
Nightingale saw them looking for sothing excitedly, with voices carrying a hint of eagerness within their vocal tone.
“By the way, what about the caravan’s goods?”
“In the ruins! They said it was stored in the ruins earlier!”
“Guys let’s go and see if there are any good treasures left behind by these smugglers!”
“Treasure chest! Ti to find so treasure chest!”
The players jumped around joyfully and quickly ran towards the ruins that Belus had pointed out earlier.
However, the one who moved much faster than most of the players was the black dragon hovering above the skies. ryer flew to the side of the high tower just like the wind and aid himself directly at the ruins as he flapped his wings to lift a portion of the roof before entering the ruins premises.
Nightingale and her siblings were startled by this and quickly hid themselves at a darkened corner before resuming their observations.
After a cloud of dust had settled in, eight fully loaded wagons appeared right in front of the juvenile black dragon.
ryer’s eyes quickly lit up at this sight.
He tentatively sniffed and imdiately recognized the scent coming from one of the wagons.
In an instant, the black dragon was overjoyed.
“These…these are my lost treasures!”
“Hahaha! This lord has found you! Great! I had finally found you!”
The juvenile black dragon laughed boisterously as he spoke in an elated tone before biting through one of the wagons.
Imdiately, a pile of shiny gold coins and jewels were exposed as so cascaded down into the floor.
ryer’s eyes greedily lit up as he took the plunge down into the gold, silver, and jewels scattered into the floor and rubbed his face against them as he happily licked so coins with his tongue.
S-So much money!
For a brief instant, Nightingale’s eyes widened as a little bit of greed perate her subconscious mind.
Having this much treasure for herself…would probably be enough for her and her siblings to live a wealthy life for a very long ti even if they stopped working completely. If it weren’t for the black dragon guarding these treasures, then she would have reached out and snatched so of it already.
“F**k! So much treasure!”
The players’ eyes also lit up greedily upon arriving inside the ruins a mont later.
They were utterly excited and slowly advanced…up until they were t with ryer’s angry roar.
“Leave! Get out! Get out of here!”
“These treasures originally belong to this lord! They are mine! You greedy people cannot have it!”
The black dragon glared at the approaching players with bloodshot eyes and bared his teeth whilst moving into a threatening stance.
ryer’s innate dragon pressure also began expanding, while he growled lowly like an agitated husky protecting its food.
The players “……”
Little Salty Cat whose riding upon his back sighed, tapped ryer’s scales with her wand.
“ryer, these treasures are all yours, no one is taking them from you.” She then paused and added, “However… let’s share the other goods on this wagon okay? Especially the equipnt and magic materials, you don’t need those anyway, so just give them to us!”
“Hehe, we’ll roast you lots of barbecue when we get back! I’ll even add so honey as well if you share these with us you know!”
Roasted…barbecue…
And with honey as well!
ryer subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He then looked cautiously at the players whose staring at him with expectant eyes and after thinking for a mont, showed his teeth and said, “Ruaah~! Alright fine!”
“You can co and pick up things up, but you are not allowed to take any gold coins or jewels! Did you hear ? Not even a single one!”
“These are all mine! Whoever dares to steal even a single one will be eaten by !”
The black dragon threatened and it wasn’t just pure empty talk as well.
Having learned what these players’ are capable of, ryer also knew that these guys could easily resurrect themselves indefinitely.
If anyone really is bold enough to try then he would actually go through with eating them just like what he did with the two silver-ranked experts earlier.
After hearing ryer’s words, each players’ eyes lit up, and patted their chests and proclaid,
“Don’t worry! ryer, we don’t want your treasures at all!”
“That’s right, are we the kind of people who only care about money?”
“That’s right, we only want materials and equipnt!”
Hmm…
Currently, gold, silver and jewelry aren’t in circulation amongst the entire playerbase due to its scarcity.
Instead, things such as magic materials, equipnt, and contribution points are the real hard currency widely used by the players. Apart from their instinctive excitent, the players don’t have much demand for these luxury goods right now.
Hearing the players’ words, the black dragon snorted and reluctantly nodded.
And with ryer’s approval, the players finally rushed towards the wagon, akin to a group of bandits who had never seen the world before, and began to rummage through the pile of treasures.
“Whoa! All the magic materials here are top-quality! They’re great as an offering to the goddess or be traded with the NPCs!”
“There are also equipnt! Human made equipnts! It’s an armor that we can wear directly even without modification! It’s all brand new as well!”
“Well I think they look a bit uglier and they don’t have the usual special effects like those equipnts that we can buy at the contribution store.”
“Idiot! Be content we got this in the first place. After all, this are rely an item drop from a quest…it’s normal for them to be ordinary looking.”
“Huh? There are inscriptions on this armor! It’s a magical equipnt!”
“There’s even food? I think I’ve never seen a consumable like this before.”
“There are also so seeds here. Guys look, they appear to be grains of so sort right?”
“Hmm…? Is this a spice? Wow! Seasoning! It’s a new seasoning!”
“Spices? That’s great! I’m tired of eating while also using only the coarse salt made by the Moe Moe Committee every day.”
“Co on guys, just having sothing to eat is already good enough you know.”
Each players showed excitent as they eagerly chatted with each other whilst rummaging around the goods.
Nightingale and other young elves on the other hand looked at these greedy players, completely stunned by their behavior.
Are they…
Are they elves or bandits!?
