Chapter 9: [Elf Image], The Howl of the Single Dog

For some reason, Sylph felt the lord's gaze was strange, as if he had discovered her little scheme.

So she lowered her head very low, daring not to look at Su Yu.

Looking at the delicate, beautiful blonde elf before him, Su Yu scratched his head,

and said, "Come with me; we will explore the war fog."

"Good! I will protect you!" Sylph nodded hurriedly.

"My safety doesn't matter; after all, the Lord Crystal can respawn. But you... you must protect yourself. If there is danger, return to the territory immediately."

Su Yu said casually.

Sylph nodded.

【Because of your friendly gesture, Sylph's Loyalty +1, current Loyalty: 74.】

"?"

Su Yu looked at Sylph in confusion,

Are elves all so... gullible?

No, not that,

Are elves all so... innocent?

"What's wrong, my lord Su Yu?" Sylph blinked curiously.

"Nothing, let's go."

"Mm!"

On the desolate mountains and wild ridges, not a single green plant was visible.

The ground was uneven, with very few flat areas suitable for construction.

A dozen wild wolves were lurking among the gray mountain rocks.

Suddenly, an arrow carrying green wind successfully hit a wild wolf.

One shot, instant kill, startling a burst of howls.

Then, more arrows flew in.

The howling stopped abruptly.

【Congratulations, your hero Sylph shot and killed a big gray wolf, obtained Gray Wolf Meat x3, 10 Experience Points.】

【Congratulations, your hero Sylph shot and killed a big gray wolf, obtained Gray Wolf Meat x3, 10 Experience Points.】

【Congratulations, your hero Sylph has reached Level 2, and all abilities have increased.】

"This is truly desolate enough."

Su Yu gazed at the hundreds of meters of vision cleared by the expansion.

It really was just a mountain at the start.

Fortunately, it was a mountain, not a mountain range.

Seeing the greenery appearing ahead, he smiled.

He began leading Sylph back.

Around the territory, the terrain was steep,

and in some places, Sylph had to carry him to jump up.

It was a naturally dangerous place, easy to defend and hard to attack.

Except for the slightly scarce resources, it was perfect for Su Yu, who was only preparing to develop buildings.

The journey back to the territory seemed somewhat boring.

Su Yu opened the group chat on the Lord Terminal, wanting to see what everyone was discussing after some time.

To see if there was any valuable intelligence.

"Damn, human high-tier troops, mages..."

"This appearance is absolutely stunning."

"Too beautiful."

"Sigh, my troops have no appearance at all."

"The farmers are all big men and old women."

Everyone seemed to be discussing a female mage's appearance,

and after scrolling up the chat history for a while, Su Yu saw it.

【Female Mage Image】 Click to view.

He clicked and took a look; it was just so-so, not even as good-looking as some female classmates at school?

What is wrong with everyone?

Su Yu was confused;

female classmates were just classmates; one could only look.

Troops, however, truly belonged to oneself.

With a little bit of appearance, everyone would like them very much.

"Be content; my troops are the ugly ones. 【Goblin Image】 Click to view."

"Damn, goblin troops are truly so unlucky..."

"Haha, rest in peace."

"If they knew you were cursing them as ugly behind their backs, their loyalty would definitely drop!"

"Laughing to death, starting with goblins."

"Sigh, I wonder how Su Yu's territory troops are."

"Give it up, he sold his random troop building cards, don't even mention him."

Su Yu: "Sorry, starting with an elf beauty."

After sending this message, Su Yu casually took a photo of Sylph beside him and sent it to the group.

"«Elf Photo» Click to view."

"?"

"??"

"???"

"What's going on?!"

"Elves... they're real elves?!"

"This golden hair... these emerald eyes... these pointed ears, amazing!"

"Mom, I'm in love."

"I'm going to marry her!"

"Aaaahhhhh—"

"@Su Yu @Su Yu @Su Yu @Su Yu @Su Yu!"

"@Su Yu, get out here!"

"@Su Yu, didn't you say you wouldn't recruit troops? Where did this rare troop - the Elf Race - come from?!"

The Elf Race, as a rare troop, excels in magic and archery,

their strength is average among rare troops, but they are the most popular rare troop.

No other reason, they're just damn good-looking!

There are absolutely no ugly elves; every elf's features hit the aesthetic sweet spot.

Su Yu: "This is a hero, actually."

"A hero??"

"A rare-tier hero?"
