Why?
Lin Jie revealed him his Viscount title.
He was shocked to see that the Teleporter scoffed and ignored his status. He said in a cold tone,
Every land has their owners, and it was already a huge favor that some were allowed to break their rules.

Lin Jie was offended. Was this NPC picking on him? In his previous life, there had been cases that NPCs had picked on players.
Breaking the rules
must be referring to him. He was indeed an
Unlucky Prince.
Even an NPC started to pick on him now!

Here.
Lin Jie had no other option but pay him. One teleportation in the game cost more than an air ticket in real life.
Gilian was relieved and followed Lin Jie into the Teleportation circle. Before she disappeared, she glanced at the Teleporter.


Unknown to Lin Jie, in the next few hours, this Teleporter messed up and sent players into the chaos-distorted void more than a hundred times in a row. Many innocent players died. There was no graveyard in the distorted void. Even if players were resurrected, they would die again immediately!
Subsequently, because of his negligence, the Teleporter was ordered to be removed by the Holy Church and all rights were abolished. He became a village NPC. Those players lost in the distorted void were also compensated with experience, while the Church issued a non-attribute title, the Explorer Pioneer. Although it was useless, it looked good. Thus, they let it go.
Lin Jie flipped his wings again and caused another change in history. What a poor NPC.

Welcome to the Thana Great Forest of City of Elves!


City of Elves is the land of the Night Elves; therefore, it belongs to nature. You are not allowed to kill innocent animals and plants. Scouts of Nature will hunt you down if you violate this. Have fun here, Human.

The Night Elf Teleporter greeted friendly,
Welcome, guest from far away.

Lin Jie smiled and thanked him. Night Elves were the spokesmen of the forest, their actions and words represented the Thana Great Forest instead of themselves.

Gilian. is there anything I can do for you?
Lin Jie tried to start Gilian’s mission. However, this NPC was very tense after they had arrived here. She was shivering all over and did not respond to Lin Jie.

Welcome.


Hello, adventurer.




Have fun in Thana Great Forest, human. If you need, you can find me at the top of the Storm Oak. My cute griffins will prepare delicious egg wine for you.

Night Elves in the Thana Great Forest were very friendly. Everyone greeted Lin Jie warmly. Their favorability increased by 100 to 500. Each time a Night Elf greeted, Gilian would hide her face a little with her clothes. She almost had her head covered by her clothes in the end.
Where there were NPCs, there were players. Compare to Night Elves, who honored the nature of fairness, freedom, and life, these Night Elf players had a very poor attitude. Some of them crowded around Lin Jie as though they were visiting the zoo. They exclaimed,
Wow, a human! You look rich. You can even afford trans-regional teleportation.


You have good equipment. Warrior, wanna go to the dungeon together?


Leave it, non-elves will not get approval and bonus.

The number of players in City of Elves was much smaller than that in City of Light. It was largely because of the Night Elves’ race talent: Nature’s Gift. This talent allowed Night Elf players to have a 30% natural damage reduction, which was reasonably a good talent. But throughout the game, there were not many monsters with natural damage, most of them concentrated in the Thana Great Forest. This resulted in many players concentrating in the Thana Great Forest.
As a Night Elf player, their talent would be useless if they left the forest. Players could get a blessing from praying for the Tree of War and Tree of Knowledge, which guarded City of Elves. The blessing increased all attributes by 1%. Each pray only took one minute, and it lasted an hour. If the praying for Tree of War lasted more than an hour, the player could get a small Sapling with decent attributes that could fight alongside them.
Lin Jie and Gilian walked out of City of Elves. The guards at the gate immediately warned them,
Human adventurer, you are advised to remain in the region guarded by the Tree of War. Thana Great Forest is very repelling towards outsiders. You might encounter unnecessary troubles.


Thank you for the tip,
Lin Jie replied but did not stop his footsteps.
Walking in the dense forest, the air was very refreshing. It should be a fairly wonderful thing, but with all the gigantic durian fruits pouring down like rain, no one could enjoy it.


Lin Jie insisted on going to his destination with the terrible frequency of being attacked by a fruit every three seconds. He was covered with all kinds of juices: durian, pomegranate, apple, pear… That was not all! Watermelons, which were supposed to grow on the ground, turned up on grapevines inexplicably and then dropped on Lin Jie’s head accurately. He felt very helpless and depressed.
This was the repelling force of the Thana Great Forest…
Not only that, many bees were attracted to them because of the fruit juice on them. These level 30 bees were not monsters. Those were the animals that belonged to nature and should not be harmed. If anything happened to them, a group of Forest Guardians formed from Panther Sentinels would start hunting them endlessly!

Master, I have bad news,
Gilian said through her black robe. Her clothes seemed to be able to keep out the insects. She added with a calm voice,
I heard wings flapping.

Lin Jie was stunned.
You mean…


Yea, it’s probably the Butterfly Demon.

Lin Jie’s mind went blank.
Butterfly Demon! It was one of the irritating nature animals too. They lived in a swarm with levels ranging from 50 to 200. They could cast all sorts of debuff on the players. In Lin Jie’s previous life, the King of Kiting, Unexpected Childe, had found a level 160 Enhanced Overlord Cerberus in Thana Great Forest. He had kited it to the swarm of level 50 Butterfly Demons, and it had been tortured badly by those insects. It had been killed by them eventually…
If the Butterfly Demons were to attack them…
Lin Jie’s pupils constricted, and he put all the equipment into his bag and started running with only his shoes and Broken Blade!


It had to be said that after the increase in Broken Blade’s moving speed, Lin Jie ran much faster now. He could dash for a long distance in a blink! Behind him, the dense swarm of Butterfly Demons appeared suddenly and chased after Lin Jie with flapping wings.

Damn.
Lin Jie ducked a wave of pea grenades and kicked the potato mines away. He ran as fast as he could while grabbing a piece of durian meat after the fruit was blown open by the explosions.
Gilian followed behind him calmly. Although she seemed to be running slowly, she could keep up with Lin Jie with ease. Gold Characters were really something!
Lin Jie’s eyes lit up. He asked,
Gilian, do you have a way to kill these Butterfly Demons?


Yeah.


Then why don’t you do it?


You didn’t ask.


¥%…@¥%…#.

Looking at Gilian saying that with a blank face, Lin Jie said viciously,
Destroy all the Butterfly Demons!


As you wish.
Gilian stopped suddenly. The dense swarm of Butterfly Demons was like locusts passing through, emitting strange energy. Their pupils produced a wave of ripples. As long as the player made eye-contact, they would be hypnotized. The powder that had elemental-hindering effects on their wings could make any mage who depended on elements to lose the battle immediately.


Bang—
Gilian snapped her finger.
All the Butterfly Demons stopped at once! With a pop sound, one of the Butterfly Demons turned into dust! Followed by a second one, third… It was like raining dust! All the Butterfly Demons chasing them were dead in an instant!
Do—
The dust fell on Lin Jie’s body and covered him like an armor!
[Armor of Shielding]: Mana Defense: +10, Immunity to hypnotism, and stun.
Lin Jie was dumbfounded.
‘Gold characters are really, really something.’
