The night wind gently blew through the grassland of Suzan Highlands. The grass waves were still rising and falling, and the Blood-Drip Forest next to it still made a soft rustling sound. The smell of blood gradually filled the air, and standing in this slightly thin red mist
, the mage looked at the figure in front of him quietly, to be precise - it should be a girl.
The girl also looked at the mage carefully, looking at the mage's pale face. Her eyes were very calm, but the dagger in her hand was trembling slightly. Then, she slowly raised the dagger and approached the mage step by step. Every step
She seemed to have made a lot of determination, and her movements seemed a little stiff. In the faint moonlight, you could see that the girl's knuckles were a little white.
"Qiqi." Xiao Fen took a step back and called out the girl's name.
The girl ignored him, with a painful expression on her face, and she suddenly raised the dagger and stabbed the mage in the chest. But the dagger did not fall, but hung slightly in the air. The girl hesitated, and her eyes began to become complicated.
Get up. "Fight with me!" Finally, Qiqi raised her head and said calmly.
The mage saw Qiqi's every move. He saw her hesitation and pain. He knew that this girl was still the same as before, she had not changed a little, she was still as simple as ever. Xiao Fen shook his head, he
He knew that as long as he didn't take action, Qiqi would not take action, and he couldn't bear to take action against this girl anymore.
"Fight with me, Brother Maple Leaf." The girl's voice was softer, but much firmer.
Xiao Fen remained motionless. He held the dark secret law and stood there quietly, the night wind ruffling the corners of his robe.
"Just like Brother Maple Leaf said, I am your enemy! I will kill you!" Qiqi raised the dagger and her eyes became firm.
"I won't close my eyes and wait for death...but I have to take action." Xiao Fen shook his head: "No!" As he said, there was a soft sound, and the mage shields flashing green on all sides bounced off his body.
The shield slowly rotates around the mage, providing him with the best defense.
Qiqi looked at Xiao Fen and nodded. "I understand." Her clear voice sounded in the empty wilderness under the night. The voice seemed a bit flat, as if it had some unknown meaning. Then, a cloud of black mist
It surged up, wrapped Qiqi, and then quietly disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Xiao Fen held up the dark secret law, his eyes became solemn, he quickly pulled out a scroll and unfolded it, chanting a byte, and a black mist immediately spread around his body. The mage took another step back, and the scroll in his hand
The staff moved, and a layer of fuzzy green light immediately covered him, forming a transparent armor-like light film. Then, a faint white light representing prophecy appeared in his eyes, and this soft white light shone in his eyes.
His eyes were spinning, allowing him to see clearly all the invisible and illusions.
He looked back and looked around, but did not find any suspicious figure. The mage was a little confused. He stood quietly in the middle of the black mist, listening to the whistling wind on the grassland of Suzan Highlands... Time passed little by little, but Qiqi did not
There was no sign of it, the surroundings became quieter and quieter, and the smell of blood gradually faded away.
"Qiqi?" Xiao Fen shouted in confusion. His voice spread far away and echoed in the empty fields, but no one answered.
"She's gone." The mage sighed. He also couldn't understand Qiqi. Although she wanted to kill him, she let him go again and again, and even helped him. He was a little confused, and in his cognition
Friends and enemies are clearly distinguished. Friends are friends and enemies are enemies. There is no such vague definition. But obviously, Qi Qi broke his understanding. This change made Xiao Fen a little scared.
He was afraid that he would become that kind of womanly guy.
"Palin——" Xue's voice came from far away. Xiao Fen wouldn't come back for a long time, and she was a little worried.
Xiao Fen was startled, and then he remembered where he was and what had just happened. He glanced at the place where Qi Qi disappeared, sighed again, and then slowly walked back to the camp of the barbarian transport team.
中. But from the moment he stepped into the camp, he realized something was wrong. Every barbarian looked at him with an almost reverent look. It felt as if he was taller unconsciously.
grade.
Xiao Fen nodded awkwardly and smiled at them. The warriors of the Conanti tribe immediately burst into cheers. They surrounded the mage, touched their foreheads with their hands, and then put their hands on their chests.
Actions show respect for the mage, or those with power.
Xiao Fengan looked over to Xue with a smile. Xue smiled naturally and nodded to him encouragingly; while Goblin clearly showed disdain in his eyes, holding his hands and muttering in a low voice; Yun Na smiled slightly and turned around to leave.
Entering the carriage - although the carriage was in a state of disrepair.
Cang Nu separated from the crowd and walked towards him, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Friend, very good! You are a friend of our tribe!" Xiao Fen was slapped by the strong hand and his teeth were bared. He was about to retreat,
At this time, the son of the barbarian chief suddenly stretched out his hand to hold his forehead, and then gently put his hand on his forehead.
"We are brothers now!" Cang Nu said excitedly, and at the same time, the system prompts sounded one after another.
"System prompt: The player is sincerely respected by an NPC, and the player gains a reputation value of 3."
"System prompt: The player is sincerely respected by an NPC, and the player gains a reputation value of 3."
…
"System prompt: The player team has completed the mission 'Night Raid', and each person has gained 10 reputation points, 4000 experience points, and 1 legendary point."
"System prompt: Players who kill more than 50% of the enemies in the mission will trigger hidden rewards and gain soul recognition."
Xiao Fen was slightly stunned and whispered: "Legendary again?" He and Xue glanced at each other, and each saw the same confusion in the other's eyes. From Dragon City to now, they have never figured out the legend.
What is the real function of .
"Legendary? What is that?" the goblin's noisy voice sounded from outside the crowd.
But the mage lowered his head and whispered to himself: "What is soul recognition?"
Cang Nu immediately smiled and explained to him: "Those who have soul recognition can get a chance to get a tattoo. This is a tradition passed down by all Suzan tribes from ancient times."
"Tattoo? Totem power?" Xiao Fen's eyes immediately lit up. The power of tattoo totem is something that many players dream of. I just don't know if the totem power of the Connati tribe is suitable for the field of mages. According to this tribe, there is no crazy
Judging from the facts of the mage, it is estimated that the possibility is very small.
"Yes." Cang Nu nodded.
After the battle, Xiao Fen followed Cang Nu and counted the casualties. The Connatty tribe's transport team, which originally had only more than 20 people, was now reduced to only more than ten people. Two of the sentinels had their necks cut at the beginning. Cang Nu told
Xiao Fen, the Luzaka tribe takes the scorpion as its totem, and is best at sneaking and using poison. The sentinels of ordinary tribes can rarely compete with the opponent's special unit, the poisonous tail stinger.
After this battle, no other accidents occurred that night. The tranquility near the Spilled Blood Forest continued peacefully until the rising sun, until the warm light dyed the entire Suzan grassland into a brilliant golden color, and the birds' first
A cry broke the silence.
The caravan continued to move forward, passing through the Spilled Blood Forest, and arrived at the Kanati tribe a day later. The Kanati tribe is a large tribe with a population of more than 4,000. The village of this tribe is located near the cliffs of Sharp Blade Mountain in the Suzan Highlands.
, looking from the mountain road from a distance, there are large and small leather tents scattered on the broad rock platform with regular heights in the direction of the village. Most of these tents are colorful, some are decorated with feathers, and some are decorated with animal bones.
From a distance, it has a quaint and exotic flavor.
After entering the village, Xiao Fen was introduced to his tribe as a hero by Cang Nu, which made Xiao Fen and others receive a welcome beyond their imagination - of course, except for the adoring eyes of children and the shy eyes of women.
, there are also some substantial rewards, such as items sold at half price in the store.
Rarely encountering a half-price discount, Xiao Fen and others bought a lot of things in the village. Although magic items are not sold here, there are a lot of cheap gems. You must know that he needs a lot of these gems to stabilize and cast spells; Xue Ze
I bought some exquisite animal bone ornaments, which made Xiao Fen sigh. Girls really like these things.
"I want 10 star-shaped stones and emeralds." Xiao Fen threw a purse full of gold coins in front of the gem merchant. He looked at the pile of gems with poor color... although they were of low quality.
Some, but they are completely enough to cast spells. Star stones and emeralds are necessary gems for constant low-level protection spells. One of these two gems is responsible for physics and the other is for magic.
"What else is missing?" The mage put the gem into his bag, and then thought back doubtfully.
"There are also amethysts and star diamonds." Xue reminded him softly.
"That's right!" Xiao Fen grabbed another handful of amethysts and a few star diamonds. Then he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Xue: "Xue, close your eyes!"
The female priest was stunned for a moment, her beautiful watery eyes shone with curiosity. She smiled, and closed her eyes obediently. Xiao Fen took out the beautiful sapphire necklace he got from the battlefield, then held it and stretched out his hands.
He went to the back of the female priest's neck and gently tied it for her. When the mage's hand came into contact with the smooth skin on the girl's neck, Xue trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed down.
"Okay." The mage showed a proud smile.
Xue opened her eyes and subconsciously looked at her chest. Then she showed a look of surprise, opened her little mouth, and let out a soft cry.
"So beautiful!" Xue looked at the necklace, showing a rare cute expression.
"It's indeed beautiful!" Xiao Fen said the same thing, but his eyes stayed on the girl's pretty face. He looked at her slightly open mouth. This was the first time he saw Xue showing such a smile.
Such a cute look. He lowered his head unconsciously, hugged the female priest gently, and then pressed his lips to hers.
Xue Mei's pupils suddenly shrank, her body softened, and a feeling of happiness enveloped her whole body, making her feel as if she was about to fly.
The surrounding barbarians looked at this scene and smiled kindly. There was some tolerance in this smile, and even a little praise. Some men even started to applaud, laugh and even whistle. The barbarians in the north are inherently bold and bold.
nation.
Xue squeaked, and the red clouds flew up to her cheeks. She gently pushed the mage away, feeling excited and shy in her heart. Although Xiao Fen was reluctant, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around,
Immediately he saw Yun Na with a sly smile.
"Sorry for disturbing you!" Yun Na covered her mouth and smiled, holding a roll of old parchment in her hand.
Xiao Fen coughed twice, looked around and said, "What's the scroll in your hand?"
Yun Na knew that the mage was changing the subject. She chuckled and held up a large roll of parchment in her hand and said: "These are documents that record the geography and humanities of Suzan Highlands in the age of magic. I also found them with great difficulty.
of!"
Xiao Fen looked at the female mage with a strange look. He shook his head helplessly: "You just buy these weird things?"
"Weird things?" Yun Na raised her eyebrows. "This is information. Don't you always say that the more background information you know in the game, the easier it will be for players to complete tasks!" She said in a serious tone.
.
"Often said?" Xue blushed and raised her head.
"Yun Na is my roommate." Xiao Fen bluntly told the female pastor that he would never lie to the person he liked.
Xue frowned, gently hugged the mage's arm, and murmured: "I want to come too!"
Xiao Fen smiled and thought she was acting coquettishly - although Xue didn't often act coquettishly. He raised his head and looked at Yun Na and said, "Where did you buy this?" As he said that, the mage pointed at the silver-haired girl's hand.
Take that big roll of parchment.
"By the way, I was about to tell you this!" Yun Na made a motion to push up her glasses, although the beautiful green sunglasses did not exist between the bridge of her nose at this time. "There is a good store over there, inside
There are some good things, I think you will like it!" A hint of cunning flashed in her blood-stained eyes.

On the other side, the Frog Prince and Uncle Mullen were renovating the carriage. According to a certain goblin's suggestion, they used the teeth of a giant beast to replace the wood used as carriage supports. These teeth ranged from 3 feet to 6 feet.
The lengths of the spaces vary, and when placed on the vehicle, it looks both strong and intimidating. Then the shed of the carriage was replaced by a large piece of tanned and oil-soaked animal skin, which improved the carriage's long-range protection capability by several degrees.
grade, and finally put a layer of fur pad on the inner layer to isolate the weird smell of fur.
According to Uncle Mullen, if this change of clothes was done elsewhere, it would cost at least a thousand GP, but it would be best if there were free materials available here. The goblin opened the carriage's data and looked at it.
The carriage's original health of more than 100 has increased to more than 300, and its sturdiness has also increased by more than 140%.
"The cold-resistant pony lost one of its ponies! But it was replaced by a more BT 'horse', haha!" The goblin touched the head of the golden wingless dragon set on the rigging. These two beautiful medium-sized golden wingless dragons
Xiao Fen spent 120 GP to buy them. Although these two big guys covered with golden scales are not as good as their larger relatives, they are at least much more powerful than horses.
"The costume change is complete! Cool! The prince's mount is really different!" The Frog Prince ran to the other end of the carriage and narrowed his eyes in comfort.
Uncle Mullen patted the goblin on the head and showed an impatient expression. He spent more than two hours learning how to control this golden wingless dragon, and now he was confident that they would obey his orders.
…………
Yun Na led Xiao Fen and Xue into the mysterious little tent. Xiao Fen first noticed the crystal ball in the center of the tent. Then, his eyes were attracted by a bracelet next to the crystal ball, and he walked away quickly.
I went over and took a closer look. Judging from the pattern on the bracelet, it should indeed be an endless burning bracelet.
"Guest from afar, what do you need?" An old voice sounded, and Xiao Fen noticed that there was an old woman with wrinkles sitting behind the crystal ball. The word 'witch' immediately came to his mind.
"This bracelet? How much does it cost?" Xiao Fen hesitated and asked.
Yun Na turned her head and looked at the bracelet in confusion, silently writing down the style of the bracelet. Of course, no one noticed her actions or eyes.
"Everything here is worth 5 platinum coins, without exception." The old woman, who Xiao Fen identified as a witch, stretched out her thin hand and made a circle, pointing to the messy debris in the tent.
"Five platinum coins!" Xiao Fen almost jumped up. He turned back and looked at the scroll in the female mage's hand, and asked doubtfully: "This too?"
Yun Na smiled and nodded matter-of-factly. "You're really crazy..." Xiao Fen shook his head. He dropped 50 gold coins without saying a word. In any case, the reward he could get from the Flame Beauty in exchange for this was definitely not worth it.
Should be less than 50GP.
"I want this -" Xiao Fen pointed at the bracelet and was about to speak, but suddenly cut it off. His eyes were fixed on the left front, on a pile of tattered sheepskin rolls - that pile of sheepskins.
Above the scroll, a beautiful piece of red papyrus lay quietly, with some strange spells written in purple notes on the paper.
"That...is also 50GP?" He swallowed, his eyes radiating a fanatical light.
Yun Na smiled slightly and said in a low voice that only she could hear: "Sure enough, Xiao Fen, this is what you are looking for. So, what is the special significance of this kind of book page?"
"Everything here is worth 5 platinum coins!" The witch's serious and hoarse voice echoed in the tent.
