The pure-blooded elves held a higher status than they had imagined. When it came to the investigation of the magic orb, the NPCs were almost certain that the orb was in the team's hands, but in the end they did not take any rash action.
The NPCs assumed that Lyanna had taken the magic orb, and that the rest of the human team members were just there for show.
Given the current state of the war in the game world, once the human NPCs realize this, they will probably think that Lyanna, like them, is a special agent sent by the elves to search for the whereabouts of the magic orb.
Given the current sensitive and ambiguous diplomatic relations between the two races, the NPC dared not act recklessly and could only hurriedly leave to report the intelligence to his superiors. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Lyanna: "You have obtained the items, so you should at least give the Human Empire some compensation and reward later, right?"
This probably means they want to use this magic ball to gain the elves' strong support in the war.
They thought that as a pure-blooded elf, Lyanna would have a voice in the elven race, and coincidentally, Su Lin and Xiao Linlin hoped so too.
"It seems that the NPCs in this magical world are much more powerful than we expected."
Jia Zhengyi finally realized what was happening and squatted down, muttering, "I thought it was like a game, where one elbow would kill a minion..."
"Now you know how powerful that is, right?"
Su Lin smiled and patted his shoulder: "Linlin was right before, NPCs are the biggest threat in the high-level game world, but it doesn't matter... With me here, none of you will be in any danger."
"Brother, you've got it backwards! You're the one who absolutely mustn't get hurt!"
"It's the same for everyone. Let's rest first. We need to head to the front lines tomorrow."
Su Lin looked outside the door and was somewhat surprised to find that the unfamiliar NPCs seemed to have stopped monitoring the room.
Su Lin intentionally revealed some sensitive information, but it did not lead to any new surprises. It seems that these NPCs really intend to give up, or they know that after learning about the team's situation, the higher-ups probably don't intend to investigate any further.
Ultimately, it comes down to balancing national interests. When humanity is at a disadvantage in a war, only a fool would risk offending a powerful ally over a ball. At worst, they can just swallow their pride and accept it.
This ambiguous attitude made Su Lin realize the possibility of completing the unique reward mission.
Nothing was said that night.
Although the room was small and the bed was small, there weren't many people who needed to sleep there.
There were two rooms, one inside and one outside, for Xiao Linlin and Jia Zhengyi to rest in. They were non-combatants and their physical condition was weaker.
Both Sulin and Lyanna are elite warriors with their own unique ways of resting, and they can also keep watch at night.
The news that the new recruits were about to depart came sooner than expected the next morning.
Another piece of news that came along with this surprised and delighted the team.
"What?"
Early in the morning, Jia Zhengyi was called out by an NPC, and soon Su Lin heard Jia Zhengyi's joyful voice coming from the outer gate.
"Military merits? I have military merits!"
