Chapter 685: Chapter 357: Dawn Investigation Team (3)

Elf Great Sage, Rorodoa.

Two hundred years ago, he led the Elf Navy to face the deep-sea demons directly. Today, he is still a legendary figure.

After all, two hundred years is not so long for the long-lived Elf race.

The players nodded silently and took note of this point.

This should be the strongest existence in this world, and they should pay attention to it.

After exchanging the gold bars brought by Chen Yu and his team for some coins at the Guild, the players came to the nearest inn to adjust and rest.

After a night of sprinting, even high-physique players like Li Changhe felt exhausted and needed some rest. They took this opportunity to organize their information.

Chen Yu said, "We can confirm now that the world we’re in is drastically different from the one Xiao Ye described. For example, the Elf Great Sage Rorodoa – Xiao Ye has never heard of him."

Xiao Ye added, "And... my hometown doesn’t have a navy at all."

"You mean this isn’t your hometown?" Li Changhe asked, "Did Evolution Game send us to the wrong place?"

"I’m not sure. My hometown is indeed on an island, but many details don’t match." Xiao Ye scratched his head, "In our language, Rorodoa does mean ’hope.’"

As he said that, Xiao Ye let out a sigh.

The players had a sudden realization but didn’t continue speaking.

Since the language was the same, it was very likely that this world was Xiao Ye’s hometown. However, many details, including the names and customs, were different. This meant that a long time had passed, just like the difference between the Heluo Sound of the Great Tang era and today’s Mandarin.

Perhaps, Xiao Ye had been away from this world for too long.

So long that the language had changed, the elves had armed themselves and formed a navy, and everything had become so unfamiliar.

It could have been thousands of years, or even longer.

It is said that elves have a long lifespan, only entering adulthood at five hundred years old. But in this long river of time, it was uncertain whether Xiao Ye’s friends and family were still alive.

So, the players decided to change the subject.

It had only been half a year for Xiao Ye since he left his hometown, but things had already changed so much.

If Li Changhe were to wake up and find that he had returned dozens of years later, with the girl, the box, and his father all gone, the thought alone was horrifying.

"Ahem, the second issue is the cry for help that Li heard when entering the task." He Feng said, "Without a doubt, it should be related to our second task target."

"To be able to communicate with players when they enter the story world, that being must be at a very high level." Chen Yu analyzed, "For example, the Blood River we saw in Great Tang, this kind of existence can have some influence in the preparatory space."

Li Changhe nodded, as the image of the huge figure of the Blood River flashed through his mind. If he had allowed the Blood River to interfere, he would have been caught and turned into a figurine.

"And such an existence is asking for help. But none of you heard it." Li Changhe said, "If the one who cried for help was the Elf Divine Tree, Xiao Ye should be the one to hear it."

According to official information, all the Elf Divine Trees in different realms are divine creatures, and it is under their protection that the elves can thrive and grow.

Xiao Ye, on the other hand, is one of the rare bloodlines of the Divine Tree Guardians, possessing the ability to communicate with the Divine Tree and other plants.

If the cry for help came from the Divine Tree, Xiao Ye should be more qualified to hear it than a human like Li Changhe.

"So, is there a second divine creature?" He Feng frowned, "But why didn’t we hear it?"

"Two possibilities." Chen Yu analyzed, "Li Ba possesses some item that we’ve never had. Certain existences use those items as coordinates to communicate with players. We’ve actually had such a case in our agency. A colleague once acquired a secret treasure-level nail in a mission and heard the call of a certain existence."

"I know about that. That nail was a Holy Relic in that world." Jiangshan added, "After obtaining the Holy Relic, that colleague was able to communicate with the other party. Of course, it wasn’t very convenient, as the voice was intermittent."

"A relic?"

Li Changhe pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the second possibility?"

"It’s the faith you’ve been troubled by recently." Chen Yu glanced at him, "Perhaps while you were being sent into this story world, you received the message from it in the spatial gap. After all, you haven’t received any messages since then, have you?"

"Faith, huh." Li Changhe stroked his chin, "But I don’t feel any compulsion for it. The Divine Gifted Grass should have turned me into a fervent believer, do I look like a fervent believer to you?"

"Who knows, maybe your faith is incomplete since you used the Divine Gifted Grass under the state of Will of Desperation." Chen Yu shrugged.

"It had to be you, Li, to not even believe completely." He Feng teased, "In any case, let’s just remember this point. Let’s consider that there are two divine creatures in this mission for now."

"That makes sense. Let’s hope they don’t have any ill intentions." Jiangshan nodded.

Worried about Xiao Ye encountering potential assassination, Jiangshan handed out several strands of spider silk to the rest of the group.

He also tied a strand to Xiao Ye’s arm for emergency substitution during battle. As long as the spider silk was attached to their bodies, Jiangshan could swap the two at any time.

"So, where did you get this spider silk?" Li Changhe circled around Jiangshan, "Is it like a spider that produces its silk from..."

Jiangshan extended his fingertips, and a strand of spider silk emerged, "Don’t worry, it’s clean!"

After a few more words, they went to rest.

...

When Li Changhe woke up, it was already evening, and the streets were bustling with activity.

Meanwhile, the Guild’s people had also come to find He Feng and the rest, saying that a seller had been found and they would be able to set sail tonight.

He Feng, who had woken up earlier, had already gone to see the ship.

"How many adventurer teams are there? How many teams are participating in the escort mission?" Li Changhe asked while yawning. His biological clock was always messed up when he entered the mission.

"There are three teams, all Gold Level. One team will board our warship, while the other two will follow us on a separate warship." He Feng replied, "They were originally planning an investigation team, and we just served as a catalyst. They really take advantage of this."

As the Guild had originally planned to hire adventurers to form an investigation team with generous rewards, and Li Changhe’s mission destination was also the Elf Island.

The adventurers would probably receive double the rewards, essentially taking advantage of the situation.

"It doesn’t matter, we can’t use this money in other worlds anyway." Li Changhe twisted his neck and said, "Having an extra force is a good thing, after all. I always feel that nothing good happens when I board a ship."
