Login Before Others: Stone Age - Chapter 304

304 Letter

If the conversation just now only made him feel that the game and reality were merging faster, then he would have to go back to reality.

Zelda’s question shocked him.

When Zelda asked this question, she was obviously trying to test him. This had never happened before.

Zelda had never tried to test him before.

Even though it looked like an NPC with personal emotions, in reality, it was not much different from a string of data in a machine.

However, Zelda had clearly been testing Su Ming for her own selfish desires.

In truth, Su Ming himself was not too sure what Zelda’s purpose in asking this question was.

Was it to test out Shen Yi’s identity? Or was she testing his feelings for Shen Yi?

Su Ming was not too sure.

When he was about to answer Zelda’s question, there was a knock on the door.

“Commander, are you there?”

The voice from outside the door was very respectful, but at the same time, it carried a hint of anxiety, as if something urgent had happened.

The two of them stood up immediately. Zelda faced the door. Her expression became serious again, and her tone was very imposing.

“I’m here! Please come in!”

The door to Zelda’s residence was pushed open, and an Elven warrior walked in.

When he saw the situation in Zelda’s residence, he was slightly stunned.

Once he came to his senses, he quickly bowed toward Su Ming.

“Greetings, Great Prophet!”

After that, he turned to Zelda. “Hello! Commander!”

Both of them nodded at him. Zelda then asked, “What’s going on? You look like you have something urgent to report?”

Hearing Zelda’s question, the elven warrior in front of her nodded vigorously.

“Yes! Commander Zelda.”

The Elven warrior took out a letter from his pocket.

“This is a letter sent by a small Elf team who was scouting around the Vast Flame Kingdom. I brought it here as soon as I received it.”

Once they heard the elven warrior’s words, Su Ming and Zelda looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise and doubt in each other’s eyes.

“Bring it over.”

Zelda saw that Su Ming did not seem to have any intention of speaking, so she spoke up.

The elven warrior saluted respectfully after hearing this, and then handed the letter over.

Once Zelda took the letter, she first sent it in Su Ming’s direction.

“Great Prophet, please take a look first.”

Su Ming cast her a glance. He did not reject her, but simply opened the letter.

After that, Su Ming started reading.

However, as Su Ming’s gaze swept across the area, his frown deepened.

The contents of the letter surprised him and made him slightly serious.

When Zelda saw Su Ming’s reaction, the expression on her face turned grim.

She first cast a glance at Su Ming before she spoke again, “Great Prophet, what happened?”

Su Ming did not say anything more, but simply handed the letter over.

Zelda’s expression turned serious after she took the letter.

In fact, after a while, she could not help but gulp before she lifted her head and looked in Su Ming’s direction.

“Great Prophet, it looks like we can’t avoid this conflict.”

When Su Ming heard her words, he might not have said much, but his expression had already expressed his thoughts.

The contents of the letter were that the elven team had said that Duke Lincoln of the Vast Flame Kingdom had completely stopped mining that resource point.

Their goal had become to search for the Elf Valley and the elf team.

Under such circumstances, the elf team naturally felt a strong pressure.

In the letter, they said that if this situation continued, they would be discovered sooner or later.

When Su Ming saw this, he naturally understood that the so-called Duke Lincoln was doing this to get rid of any hidden dangers.

There were actually many ways to solve this problem, but all the methods Su Ming could think of at the moment basically required him to sacrifice some of the small teams of elves.

From Su Ming’s point of view, this was something that he could not accept.

At the same time, in order to not fall into a completely passive state, Su Ming and the Elf Valley had to control the situation around Vast Flame Kingdom.

In this case, the conflict with Duke Lincoln was almost inevitable.

Once he was clear about this, Su Ming’s expression became more serious.

Once Zelda saw the change in Su Ming’s expression, she could more or less understand what Su Ming was thinking.

However, she was still in slight disbelief. She could not help but stare at Su Ming for a while before she asked, “Great Prophet…what do we do now?”

Su Ming did not hesitate. Once he heard Zelda’s question, he answered, “Since he’s so worried about us and wants to reveal our true colors, then we’ll show them.”

Even though Zelda had some guesses in her heart since the beginning, when she heard Su Ming’s determined words, she was still slightly shocked.

“Great Prophet, but we’re not well-prepared, are we? If we rashly start a war with the other party just like that…”

Zelda did not finish her sentence, but Su Ming understood what she meant.

If they started a war with the other party now, the outcome would definitely be disastrous.

“That’s the entire Vast Flame Kingdom. If we develop for a while more, we might be able to resist their attack.

“But the scale of our development now…forgive my bluntness, but we’re no match for the Vast Flame Kingdom.”

When Su Ming heard Zelda’s words, he shook his head indifferently.

“Who said that we need to face the entire Vast Flame Kingdom from the very beginning?”

When Zelda heard Su Ming’s question, she could not help but be slightly stunned. Then, she frowned in confusion.

“What else? If we’re exposed, we’ll have to face the pressure of the entire kingdom, right?”

Su Ming first cast a glance at Zelda, then at the letter in his hand.

“What do you think is the most fundamental reason why that Duke Lincoln was in such a hurry to find us?”
