New Life Online 120 Asking For A Favor

Wow! The place is really beautiful. There are some tents made out of different kinds of leaves and flowers. Tall trees protect them from sunlight and there is a lot of elf around here. I thought at first that they are scary but they are magnificent and beautiful creatures.

"Welcome back, Scythus! It's been a long time." A beautiful young girl welcomed us. Is she some kind of kid elf?

"Thank you Elf leader! It's my pleasure to be greeted like this." Elf Leader? Are you making another prank? This won't work!

"So, is this girl your wife?" The heck is this kid elf talking about?

"Yes. She is my wife. But don't mind her, I have to tell you something important. Can I talk to you in private?" No, I'm not your freaking wife!

"Don't worry about it. For them, the other term for the a.s.sistant is wife in their language." No, you won't fool me! And their language is Englis.h.!.+

The Elf Leader guided us to her tent. Well, I can tell that she's the real Elf Leader because it was well guarded than the other tents.

"So what do you want to talk about? Is this a wedding invitation?" Are you kidding me right now?!

"No, it's about the world invasion. You might be in the game's world but I'm pretty sure you are not aware of something like this." So his purpose is to warn them.

"What kind of invasion? Recently we are getting a lot of casualties from some of our camps around the west of the forest. It's near the Icy Mountains. Some of the survivors said that there are a group of creatures that only shows up at night. Are you aware of them?" Creatures at night? But all we did was idle around at night.

"Sorry to hear that but we haven't seen anything unusual so far in that place because we have a hideout there and because we live there, we forgot to check around. I will check it out later. But back to the point, the invasion will start after three weeks so you guys should be ready. It's an invasion of a World Boss." This conversation is a bit serious for me.

"A World Boss?! That would be bad news for us! So what's your plan with this invasion?"

"Well to be honest. We still can't calculate the casualties it will cause but if all the Guilds unite to stop the invasion they might defeat even the World Boss." Well yeah, my sis can stop it by herself.

"But of course we can't just idle around doing nothing. We are going to build a small village and make a small fort to defend ourselves from them. Of course, most of the discovered lands are already owned by the Guilds so all that's left for us is the other part of this forest. I came here to ask you a small land for our small village. Is it rude for me to ask you something like this?" He asked really polite. So that's his plan, huh. Not bad.

"You don't have to ask anymore. The freedom of my tribesman that you gave is worth more than any lands we can offer. Is that all you need?" She is really a good Elf Leader.

"Do you also have spare Elf Workers to lend for a moment? We don't have many people yet in our guild so building a village will take a lot of time." Yeah, do I look like I can carry heavy stuff?

"Yes. If you need them, just use the flute I gave you so they will come to your place as soon as possible. But of course, please protect us if the invasion reaches us. I can't afford to lose more of my people."

"Of course. That's all I have to ask Elf Leader. We have some business to do first before starting the building of the village. Thank you again and I hope you all are safe here." He said his goodbye.

"Have a nice trip with your wife." Jeez... this is embarra.s.sing.

We went outside of the tent, ready to move out.

"Please hold my arms very tightly." Now, I have to hold his arms?!

"FIRE BOOSTER!"

*SWOOOOs.h.!.+* We flew as Akko did!

Now I know why he didn't use this spell earlier. It's because the location of the elf village is covered by the tall trees making its location hidden from above. And they change their camp from time to time to avoid what happened before.

"So where should we go next?"

"We need to recruit a spellcaster who can help us build our village. It's easier to build a village with one. I heard there's someone at Storm Seekers. They said that this someone is being bullied because most of the people there use either Lightning or Water spells so those who have different spells do not belong to the place which is I think really bad. Actually, recruiting you is not in any of our plans." That's right, I heard that they said that they pick specifically. And the reason I'm with them right now is that I wanted to be a disciple of Miss Akko which I really regret but until now I haven't learned anything from her.

"But of course, you are very welcome. It's hard to recruit these days because they want to be with the guild that is already well known and has a big city, unlike us who are just starting to build one." That's reasonable. Maybe he's not a bad guy after all.

Though... We are traveling for almost an hour now with high speed... Is it that really far?

"It's my first time going to that place. Here's a hood for you. I heard that Guards there inspect people too much but we will not enter through the gate, we will enter the city from above bypa.s.sing the guards but of course, we should still not attract too much attention." Then you shouldn't have brought me here for this kind of dangerous mission!

"Can you see that thick clouds? I heard that they did something bad in one of the Temple of G.o.ds and because of it, G.o.d cursed the city. Well, that's still a legend but they won't be having this kind of weather if they didn't do something wrong, right?" He's right. The clouds are really thicker than usual. It's like it will never leave this place.

"Is it like this every day here?"

"Yeah, that's what I heard. It's been raining and thunderstorm also occurs from time to time, a really dangerous place and a wet one. Anyway, we're almost there. Get ready to land."
