Vol 8 Chapter 15: The Butterfly Effect

The crisp and pleasing bird screamed Qin Lun from his sleep. The young man opened his eyes and stretched out and got up from the bed. Under the cover of the world tree, the Elf Castle is filled with fresh and fragrant air, making him feel refreshed.
Yesterday, I entered the Magic Cup, and after a glimpse of the Elf King and Ilistin, the time was very late. Qin Lun no longer went out to inquire about the news and rested in the castle's room for one night.
The living room is decorated in a simple style with elf crafts and embossed stone carvings on the walls. The center of the room is a large bed with a large bed. There are several exquisite wicker chairs for the guests in the outer hall. There is a simple window under the window facing the world tree. An elegant case with a feather pen holder and white silk paper on it.
In fact, for the elves, this is a very gorgeous interior. This race admires nature. Ordinary elf tree houses usually have only one rattan hammock and several stumps as tables and chairs. The interior is full of flowers and plants, which is the most common elf residence.
"Hey!" Qin Lun had just finished washing, and there was a knock on the door.
"Prince Kiris?" Qin Lun opened the door and saw the visitor in front of the door.
"Fillar, did you rest well yesterday?" The Elf Prince still smiled, but Qin Lun was keenly aware of his slight eyebrows between his eyebrows.
"Oh, Your Royal Highness, please come in!" Qin Lun leaned over and let the door open, smiling back. "We are all mercenaries wandering around, can have a warm home and a hot meal at night. It is already the biggest enjoyment."
"At least you have a free life, you can pursue your own love and ideals!" Curris snorted and whispered in a whisper.
"what?"
"Nothing!" Curris waved back to the two elf guards behind him and followed Qin Lun into the room.
"His Highness, come to me so early, is there something?" The two of them set a few words, Qin Lun took the initiative to open the topic.
"Well, first of all, there is a good news to tell you first, the elves of the outer elves sent news. Emma was rescued by the mercenary guards, but their losses are very big, only eight people left, probably tomorrow night Go back to Wang Ting." Curris said with a smile.
"Yes, that's great!" Qin Lun happily licked his palm, but he didn't care.
The plot mercenary group had long been annihilated. Apart from him and Lung, the fortress team itself had only eight people left. As for the time when they came back, it was a day or two earlier than Qin Lun predicted. Of course, there is actually his credit. There is no unexpected dagger plan. The fortress team can save the Nicole three times.
Qin Lun is pretending to be happy, and his mind is running fast. The fortress team will arrive at the Magic Cup Wangting tomorrow night, then he will only have two daytimes to find the major plot line of Wang Tingzhong, otherwise he will only be able to return the mission choice to the fortress team.
"In addition... although your mission has not been successful, but both the Father and the Presbyterian Church believe that the fault is not with you, Wang Ting also has responsibility. We did not expect that the human lord of Elbad will be so sentimentally sent to the regular Knights. Attacked the caravan."
Curris said a little embarrassedly, "The mercenary group's casualties are so heavy, it is heartbreaking, the Elf Chamber will assume all the pensions, and the previously agreed remuneration will be paid out."
With the words of the elf prince, the room was silent in a moment. In fact, out of this kind of thing, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the purpose of the former mercenary group to hire this mercenary group was to test the kingdom of Jondas, instead of really giving the task of the group to the mission. they.
The mixed mercenary group that was completely annihilated on the edge of the forest completely became the slain of the Joandal elves, helping them to test the hostility of the human lords and the armed forces that might be used for the attack.
Looking at Kiris's dodgy eyes, Qin Lun could not help but smile.
The elf prince is not mature enough, so no smart as the king of Testil. The Elf King seems to be approachable, but in reality there is a real king's volume and coldness. The woman's benevolence is not suitable for the king, let a mercenary group to bear their original losses, for the Qiong Da Er, is a very wise decision.
"His Royal Highness, this news is not worthy of a personal run. King Tastil should have other instructions, you want to convey it!" Qin Lun looked at the mouth a few times, but could not say The elf prince asked in a meaningful way.
"Yes! Father wants the mercenary group to continue the previous commission, accompanying another envoy to Anke Forest!" Qin Lun's gaze made Kiris feel very embarrassed, his face slowly rising red, but think of Tys King of Tyre, he still insisted.
"Of course, this time only the mercenary group needs to provide intelligence support, and the work is handed over to the Elf Guard. After all, we have not stepped out of the forest for a long time, and have little experience in how to get along with humans..."
Looking at the cold and angry eyes of the young man in front of him, Curris’s words became lighter and lighter, eventually lowering his noble head. If Qin Lun is a member of the original mixed mercenary group of elves and humans, then he does have reason to be angry.
The employer used it as a cannon fodder to test the enemy's reaction, resulting in only 10 members remaining in the entire mercenary group. After the reunification, without the time of replenishment and rest time, he was asked to start again by the employer. It must be said that this requirement of King Testil was excessive.
Of course, the mercenary group can choose to refuse. Just from the bright side, their previous task is really not completed, and now refuses the employer's continuation of the mission requirements, which is really detrimental to the reputation, the mercenary this meal is basically eaten.
The elf prince's face was blue and white, suddenly biting his teeth in silence, stood up from the chair, and showed a trace of perseverance in his eyes. "Ferrar, I am sorry, forgot what I said. I will persuade the father to give up. This commission, your sacrifice for Jondal is enough, there is no reason to accept this task."
"His Royal Highness, please wait!" Qin Lun finally broke the silence, and told Curris, who was about to turn and left. He said, "We are a mercenary and a occupation. Because of the danger, we push the task. However, we are not willing to be regarded as dispensable cannon fodder by the employer.
This task waited for my companions to come to Wang Ting in order to answer King Testil. I just want to know the inside story of this task in advance, why is it Anke Forest? Was the previous destination not the Mill Forest?

The Elf Prince hesitated and turned to sit down. According to the principle of mercenaries in the mainland of Faeren, in fact, it is not necessary to understand the inside of the mission, only need to know the mission objectives.
However, in the last hiring, the Elf Court used the mercenary group as a test bait and caused heavy casualties. Now hiring people again, it seems that it is really necessary to make clear the future.
"The situation has changed. The father decided to agree to the conditions of the Anker Elf Chamber, so that the Jondal Moon Elf decided to stay, or migrated to Anker Forest." Prince Corris’s words were a bit of a desolate, "such a Come, there is no need to go to Mill Forest, which is more than 1,500 kilometers away. The Anke Forest is much closer, and the risk on the way will be much smaller."
......
Seeing that Kiris Green leaves the room, Qin Lun can not help but frown, sinking his mind into the death list.
"Apostle No. 70053, due to your butterfly effect, the main storyline of the Magic Cup Wang Ting has changed partially. You have gained 0.004% of the world's degree of exploration. At present, the personal world exploration degree is 0.007%. The extra reward will be distributed uniformly during the return."
"Apostle 70053, you have triggered the main battleline mission of the Magic Cup Wang Ting - the magic cup crisis!"
[Magic Cup Crisis: (Lt. Lieutenant). The Magic Cup Wang Ting is now in a critical moment of internal and external troubles. The Qiong Da Yue Elf has decided to leave the Jondar Forest and migrate to Anke Forest. The world tree, which is the cornerstone of the Elven Court, is in the last hundred years of the extinction period. The Magic Cup Wang Ting urgently needs to cultivate the third-generation world tree that can support the elves.
Mission Objectives: After the apostle takes over the mission, there are two ways to choose. One is to try to help King Testil leave part of the Gondar Moon Elf, which is more than 30% of its population. The second is to join the Qiongdal Envoy, go to Anke Forest to get the world tree seeds, and send it safely to the Magic Cup.
Mission Reward: Depending on the contribution of the apostle in this mission, the length of stay is the original length of stay and no longer increases. If the apostle completes the two major mission objectives, the final mission evaluation will rise by one step.
Tip: Due to the butterfly effect of the apostles, the mainline plot has changed in part, and the world's exploration has increased from 0.012% to 0.016%. The shared information of the main story has been distributed to other team members. After the leader arrives at the Magic Cup, he can take the task. 】
Qin Lun looked at the tips in the death list, and for the first time, he was a little confused.
He faintly felt that this so-called butterfly effect may be related to the decision of King Testil to compromise the Anker Forest. However, it is unclear where the problem lies, and actually let him whiten 0.004% of the world's exploration, which is more than the branch story that triggered the "Moon Elf Migration" at that time.
With Qin Lun’s emotional intelligence, he couldn’t think of his own conversation with Ilistin last night. In fact, it played a great fight. Not only did the pair of elves and loveres be dismantled, but also Ilistin, who had originally decided to move to the Elven Court, decided to move with the tribes, and turned the painstaking plan of King Tastil into a bubble, which led to the change of the current mainline story.
Of course, apart from Qin Lun and Ilistin, no one else knows about this. Even the savvy old King of Tystil also couldn't think of it. The elf Druid would give up his love because of a strange elf's words, and decided to die with the tribe.
However, Qin Lun’s key message at this time is not the surprise of this accident, but the difficulty of the main line story
Magic Cup Crisis
.
Judging from the current situation, there is no hope for the completion of this task. Even the descendants of the royal family of Ilistin can not convince the Elders of the Elves, and in such a short period of time, the apostles are even more impossible. This task can only be done through Route 2.
Can re-lead the ambassador to Anke Forest~EbookFREE.me~ It is actually a lieutenant-level task... This is where Qin Lun really can't figure it out. It is not surprising to receive the task of a lieutenant-level team in the strength of the fortress team. The problem is that the same task is also escorted to the branch story of the Anhui Forest, but only the major level.
In terms of strength, it is impossible to the Elf Guards of the corps, which is worse than the mighty tribe of the Moon. In terms of the external environment, the Kingdom of Jondas does not mention that the Moon Elf tribe will join the Anker Forest, which will inevitably increase the power of the Anker Elves. The neighboring Sespatez Kingdom may also join the attack. The ambassadors who seek the seeds of the world tree have no influence on the Kingdom of Seths.
In other words, the migration team of the Moon Elf tribe is to harass on the way to the two human kingdoms of Jondas and Seths, and it is enough for the regiment to deal with the Kingdom of Jondas. The difficulty of the two missions should be reversed. It makes sense.
Qin Lun licked his temples with a headache. He lacked relevant information and could not judge. It is only a little obvious that this main school-level mainline plot must have some internal feelings that he does not understand. Maybe even the Prince of Kreis, who released the task, is not very clear.
In this way, he must explore the mysteries and convince them before Stark and others step into the Magic Cup, otherwise the fortress team will not be able to control the mission, and can only follow the tide.
