Chapter 1593 - 1589: Choosing Betrayal

He had no rivals, but when he was young he couldn't win a competition, facing a girl head-on, so, in revenge, on his way home, he gathered a few companions to ambush those people.

He did some despicable pranks. That senior student's stiff mouth was filled with resentment just like Sigr now.

Is the result the same now? ——

Overwhelmed by a sense of frustration with no outlet, Qiuya appeared very dejected. At this moment, Ye Qiu stood behind her, holding his breath like a shadow, and suddenly spoke in a low voice:

"Companions are not your tools!"

"Huh...?"

Qiuya didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, she could only look back at Ye Qiu with wide eyes, while the other person still roared.

"...What do you mean by that...?"

Ye Qiu stepped forward, standing between Qiuya and that person, with a big man above him, and they stared at each other.

"I mean, you can't lock other players in your equipment slot like your sword or armor!"

"You... you guy...!"

Hearing Ye Qiu's blunt words, Si Lu's face immediately turned red, and he quickly gathered up the cloak on his shoulders, placing his hand on the hilt.

"Only a Shadow Elf who digs up trash is shameless! Qiuya, don't hang out with such people! I think he must be a 'territory traitor,' exiled from his land.

Sigeruo shouted out this sentence with his swordsmanship about to draw, causing Qiuya nearby to roar in anger.

"Don't say such rude things! Ye Qiu is my new partner."

"What did you say..."

Sigr's face was full of blue veins, and then he shouted in surprise:

"Qiuya... Do you want to abandon your territory?"

Qiuya was startled, her eyes widening.

Fairy Fantasy players can be roughly divided into two categories based on their gaming style.

One is to use the territory as a base, then team up with players of the same race, like Qiuya and Sigerot, handing over a portion of the money to the management department to promote the race's development; the other is to hand over the territory to a neutral metropolis as a base, organizing cross-race attacks on the game.

The former despises the latter due to their lack of purpose, calling them territory traitors for voluntarily giving up their land, or being exiled by Yahweh.

Although Qiuya has little sense of belonging to the Wind Elf, half of her loves Si Lu's position, and the other half's inertia keeps her on this land, but now, upon hearing Sigr's words, her desire for liberation grows dramatically.

"Well... you're right. I will leave here."

That's what she said.

Sigr's lips twisted, teeth slightly exposed, and he suddenly pulled out his broadsword at his waist, then stared at Ye Qiu, his eyes almost burning.

"... Ye Qiu thought he didn't need to mind that bug, but he was too arrogant and dared not act like a thief. How dare you invade other people's territory, even if you get killed, you shouldn't complain....................."

Ye Qiu shrugged just listening to Sigr's dramatic speech.

Although Qiuya's courage was incredible, he realized that once the fight started, he would cut Gru with his hand, then placed his hand on the knife at his waist, a tense atmosphere enveloping the whole environment.

At that moment, Sigr's companion behind him whispered:

"Not now, brother Siegel. Killing players who have no ability to fight back in front of the public..."

Qiuya didn't know when it started. A crowd, who noticed what was happening, had surrounded her and was ready to watch. If it were a legal confrontation, or if the other party was clearly a spy, it would be fine. But now, killing Ye Qiu, who had no attack power like a tourist, couldn't be said to be fair.

Sigr gritted his teeth, stared at Dongman for a long time, and finally pulled out the broadsword from its sheath.

"When you go out, remember to hide away. Autumn's elegance——"

He left this sentence with Ye Qiu, then turned back to look at Qiuya.

"...You're betraying me now, you'll regret it soon!"

"It's better to regret leaving than to regret staying!"

"I'd advise you to practice begging for forgiveness, for when you return."

Afterward, Si Lu turned and walked toward the exit of the Wind Tower, and the two teammates behind seemed to want to say something. Looking at Qiuya's face, they seemed to finally give up speaking and drove Si Lu away.

Once their figures disappeared, Qiuya took a deep breath, looked at Ye Qiu's face, and said:

"...Sorry for getting you involved in this storm..."

"No, it was my bad behavior. Just now, it seemed to fuel the fire... But can you really give up such a territory?"

"Ah..."

Since Qiuya didn't know how to respond, she finally quietly pushed Ye Qiu's back, urging him to set off as soon as possible and leave the crowd. They just got on an elevator, pressed the top button, and the disc-shaped stone at the bottom of the translucent glass tube emitted a bit of green flash, then rose at an extremely fast speed.

After several tens of seconds, as soon as the elevator stopped, the glass walls immediately opened, bright sunlight and a pleasant breeze blew in simultaneously.

Qiuya trotted out of the tube to the front platform at the top of the Wind Tower, although she had been here countless times, no matter how many times she looked at it, she felt extremely excited by the ever-expanding panoramic views in four directions.

The Wind Elves are in the southwest of the Alps, and to the west is a vast plain, followed by the coastline, and then an endless ocean of blue light. To the east is a lush forest connected to the horizon, deep in the forest is a row of purple mountains even further away. The horizontal line of the bark on the mountain is a towering shadow, the World Tree, almost blending with the sky.

"Wow... what a beautiful view..."

Following Qiuya down the elevator, Ye Qiu glanced sideways at the surroundings.

"It's so close to the sky... like reaching out your hand to touch the sky..."

Looking at the sky, Ye Qiu's eyes also showed the same yearning. Qiuya stood beside him, quietly raised her right hand, and said to the sky:

"Yeah, seeing this sky, I feel like many things are actually quite insignificant."

"..."

Ye Qiu glanced awkwardly at Qiuya, who smiled and continued:

"... This is just a good opportunity. In fact, Ye Qiu was originally planning to leave here one day, but I still felt scared of being alone, so I couldn't make up my mind..."

"That's it. But... leaving because of an argument..."

"In that case, it's impossible to leave the team peacefully. Why..."

Qiu Yabin muttered to himself:

"Why do you have to bind each other like this? Fairies rarely have wings..."
