Since the Age of Magic, Orath has not fallen into such chaos for a long time. It seems that the scene of peace and prosperity was just yesterday, and today disasters and wars have followed one after another.
The time is oo3, the starting year, at the end of April——
The sparse stars gradually disappeared, the sky began to whiten, and the undulating mountain shadows in the east were looming. The silence of the morning was broken by a rustling sound of leaves, and the mountain mist in the forest drifted away with the wind, revealing a few dark shadows hidden in it.
film.
A rude voice said: "These bushes are so annoying, damn Quesabel!" Then there was the sound of sharp tools cutting through the branches, and bright red wild berries fell to the ground. A tender white berry fell to the ground.
The little hands picked up these beautiful fruits one by one and put them into the cloth bag, and then carefully piled them together as if they were real treasures. The cute little half-elf girl looked at her trophies, sometimes showing a happy smile.
.That name is taboo!" The female elf ranger on the side gasped.
The dwarf was stunned for a moment. "Is there anything wrong?" he asked roughly, "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
Shuishun also stopped and looked at Ke'er, with curiosity written all over her little face. "Have I told you?" Ke'er's eyes widened... Never mention the name of the goddess in a place like this, the forest is listening!
Look, they are looking at you!" She pointed at the shadowy trees all around and said mysteriously.
The early morning in the mountains was eerily quiet, the air in the forest was solid and solid, and there was only the faint whistling of the distant mountain wind in my ears.
Wrought iron secretly had a cold war, "pretending to be a ghost." On the surface, he pretended to be disdainful.
An iron gauntlet etched with a rose pattern pressed on the dwarf's shoulder without warning. "Ah!" the latter screamed, jumped away like a reflex, and smiled. The little girl gave a thumbs up.
When Shuixian saw this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Wrought Iron finally realized something. But our proud dwarves could never admit the fact that they were timid. So they could only mutter a few curses and be quiet. Everyone, this is an adventure, not a trip!" The goblin then had a look on his face.
He complained loudly and worriedly. "Captain, look at the bad guys. If this continues, it will definitely attract something, just like the mountain ghost last night." But the green-skinned short man's complaints only attracted a series of laughter.
The female mage holding an ivory cane walked silently among the intertwined shadows. Her silver bell-like chuckle attracted her to raise her head and look at her companions - the morning sun shone on them, and the mist in the mountains made the sunshine hazy.
As if shrouded in a golden glow - Yun Na showed a faint smile.
Xue walked gently to her side and stopped, with a look of peace on her face." As the captain, Xiao Fen felt that he needed to remind her.
It's a pity that the little girl didn't seem to care about this level of warning. "Sister Ke'er, we seem to have caused trouble to the prince." She followed and said. There was no trace. The frog prince finally became angry with embarrassment. Pointing her finger, "
Your voice is too loud, frog." She said. She was furious. My sister even spoke... Hahaha, laughing... I laughed to death." Ke'er and others burst into laughter again.
The female mage shrugged at the goblin.
Xiao Fen felt relieved. He raised his head and looked through the layers of green shadows - the sky showed a thrilling indigo between the branches, and it was so pure that there was no flaw. The mage's fingers unconsciously tightened the dark robe.
Then he let go, letting the soft fabric slide down between his pale finger bones.
The sun is getting higher and the fog is beginning to melt in the sunshine. Now, there is only a short section left for this hiking trip through the coastal hills-" the mage thought in his heart. This expedition is part of his overall plan: on the one hand
In order to slow down the Yunzhong Tower's consumption of the Heart of Canaan, on the other hand, as Cole said, perhaps we can also learn about the situation around Dragon City during the trip.
While silently thinking about these questions, a few beams of white light penetrated the shadows of the trees in front of him and fell at his feet. Xiao Fen raised his head and realized that he had reached the end of the Dust and Dew Forest. He pressed his pale fingers on the nearby
The rough trunk of the tree. Use this strength to take a step forward...
The field of vision suddenly widened, and the mountain wind roared out from the canyon, passing over the top of the mountain and carrying a few green leaves to the distance. The dwarf in the direction shouted.
The mage raised the soft black brim of his hat with his fingers, and his sharp eyes broke through the shadows and pierced forward.
To the west of the top of the mountain, the altitude has begun to drop gently along the ridge. Looking around, the hillside is dotted with meadows in the distance and is dotted with red tiles and white walls. Against the backdrop of the golden sunshine in the morning, it is so beautiful that it is a bit heart-stopping.
The small town bell rang, lingering among the mountains. Peaceful and quiet...
At this moment, the members of Shining Gold Coin walked out of the Dust Dew Forest one after another, and several girls sighed with clear surprise on their faces.
Shuixun stared blankly in that direction, and the berries in her little hands rolled to the ground, but she was completely unaware of it. Asked.
Xiao Fen turned his head and held the girl's hand. "Yes." He responded gently.
But Ke'er suddenly gestured for everyone to stop. The female elf's eyes swept over the small town. Although they were no less than a few thousand feet apart, even the smallest details could not escape these eyes. "Captain, do you think it is beautiful?
?But not necessarily." She smiled slightly, "Have any of you known about the situation around here before? And has anyone heard of such a small town here?"
Xiao Fen was stunned. Among the group of them, he was the only player near Star Lake. Ke'er's question was almost a confirmation to herself. "About the situation around here - this area is already a coastal hilly area to the west.
In an area with gradually declining terrain, it takes at least three days to travel east to Everdark Town. The closest player gathering point here is the Shield of Truth in the south - which is also the headquarters of the Southern Alliance. But that city is at least 30 kilometers away from here.
It's only a day away." He recalled carefully, "There was a silver mine in the forest nearby, but it was abandoned due to the overflow of undead creatures. There are several tasks about the ownership of this place in Ever Dark Town. Life skills players also
I quite like to spend money to hire people to escort me here to mine. After all, high-quality silver mines can be sold at very high prices in nearby cities. But...as for such a novice town, I have never heard of it before."
Local knowledge, right?" Ke'er exclaimed in surprise, "It's almost exactly the same as the information I collected!"
The mage smiled slightly, thinking that only this female elf would make such a joke with him. First of all, this is not a novice town." The ranger raised his head, with a hint of slyness in his eyes, "This is a player.
The established resource town." Tieweng asked angrily. He spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to establish a fortress-like stronghold. This kind of stronghold is either to guard important passages or to occupy nearby leveling points and dungeons.
Collection points and mineral veins. For example, most of the areas with popular tasks have such strongholds, for the purpose of monopoly!" Ke'er said, "The first type of stronghold is simply called a fortress on the forum, while the second type is simply called a fortress.
It’s called a resource town, and the number of resource towns is also the key to measuring the strength of a large guild—Captain, it seems you are lagging behind.”
As soon as the little girl heard this, she immediately pouted. "Brother Palin is not behind, he just doesn't care about these messy things!" She defended loudly. Sister." Ke'er rolled her eyes.
"?" the mage asked. I agree, not to mention that such a small town must pay taxes." The female elf replied, "As for the mines occupied by these guilds, they are generally abandoned or have not yet been opened. They don't have the courage.
I'm going to rob the lords' mines."
Xiao Fen nodded. "Well," he looked at the small town in the distance, "I have said so much, Ke'er. What do you want to express? "Why do I suggest taking this route?" Ke'er licked her lips with a smile.
"This is the reason - although this town is closer to the Southern Alliance and is close to their most important novice leveling area, it itself belongs to the Dark Leaf. Regarding this nail, the Southern Alliance has long been like this
There was a thorn on her back, like a stalk in her throat... "We're just here to see a good show." She continued. So much?" Sophia put on a look of surprise again, as if she had never known the other party before.
The female ranger patted her little head. "I also have real friends, okay, stupid girl!" She sighed helplessly. Then she turned back to Xiao Fen and said: "This land is a battle for a stronghold like this.
The above is happening every day. In fact, each of the three major guilds occupies a lot of the other's territory. And it is said that the president of the Bloody Slayer and the leader of the Southern Alliance have actual personal grudges. So Captain, if you want
To persuade them to unite temporarily, I think it would be better to save this as soon as possible."
Xiao Fen frowned and buried his head, as if he was thinking quietly. After a while, when the mage raised his head again, his eyes met Ke'er's bright eyes. "Did you collect all this information by yourself?
?" he asked.
The female elf deliberately avoided the other party's gaze, "Yes." After a long while, she replied in a low voice.
Ke'er's face blushed imperceptibly, but she quickly calmed down. "Well, let's move down along the southwest ridge and try to avoid that town. Originally, it was in my calculations.
We may have to camp here for a day or two before we can see the good show, but now it seems..." The female ranger glanced in that direction. "It seems that we are lucky, we just need to enjoy it as we move forward."
The mage looked in that direction, but it seemed that the distance was too far. Even with his eyes blessed with advanced sharp eyesight, he could not see clearly what was over there. Home, in that canyon." Ke'er said calmly, and then took the lead.
We walked down the ridge." The goblin shrugged and followed with disdain. Then came Sophia and Shuiyun. Wrought Iron patted his +3 Allen Shine, thinking about when he could cut two
Individually, the steps under my feet unconsciously enlarged.
Xiao Fen stared at the backs of these people, and gradually began to think about another question in his mind: What Ke'er said is not unreasonable. If it is really impossible to unite the three major guilds, what path will he take? The mage knocked rhythmically
He clicked his knuckles. The mountain wind poured into his hood, and two or three strands of black silk passed over his pale forehead.
Last night, he noticed that the gemstone given to him by Carlin had developed slight cracks; he understood that there was not much time left for him. The teacher murmured to himself.
Yun Na came to him at some point. The female mage looked at him and said, "We can't unite. Wouldn't it be better to unify?"
Xiao Fen suddenly came back to his senses. He held his cold hands and said, "You think so too?" "Isn't hiding behind a powerful force the best choice?"
The mage hesitated a little and looked down at the undulating mountains below with some indifference. The female mage decided to continue guiding.
The mage took a breath. "I'm actually not too interested in this proposal. To put it bluntly, I have no interest in the operation of the so-called big guilds in Canaan and I disdain it. But if I really push it to that point,
if--"
Yun Na looked at him and waited for the next step. How powerful is he in this world?" Xiao Fen said calmly while staring at the distant mountains.
A meaningful look flashed across Yun Na's blood-stained eyes, and she smiled, the first time she smiled from the bottom of her heart.
In the distance, the first flash of magic exploded in the town...
At the same time. South of the Grass River, Quiltey alluvial plain, Zburg -
As described in the exquisite books circulating from the north to the south: This glorious castle stands on the plain south of the Grass River, its lords rule the fertile land, and its knights guard the land here with swords and blood.
People; this is the shining land of the South, a paradise.
But even in paradise, its morning still begins with the lavender sky; the stars fade in the west, and the sun can spread its light on this fertile land.
When the first ray of morning light appears in the east, the birds sing lowly to compose the prelude to a new day in this paradise...
The gates of the outer city of Ciburg opened on time, and players and NPCs began to enter and exit in an orderly manner. The busy day seemed to be on track.
The soldiers changing guard on the city wall rubbed their eyes, yawned, and patted their cheeks to keep themselves awake. In fact, this gesture was more to prove that they were qualified soldiers than for vigilance and war. It was far from it.
Still - even the rumors about the Hand of Despair seem to have been suppressed south of the Jinghe River.
The so-called turmoil is no different from a joke circulating in the pub alley. Maybe it will become yesterday's old news when you wake up. I rubbed my eyes a little more.
He rubbed it again. His eyes gradually widened, but his pupils narrowed little by little.
On the horizon, he saw dense black - black armor, black weapons, black flags, and black robes. Howls echoed on the tower.
Soth wiped his sword, and he only paid some attention to observe the huge town - and the castle near it. The cool breeze in the morning went around his neck and around his armor, gently washing away the
A faint smell of blood. "City of Glory, Knights of Griffin Heart - hum." The young Lord of Sinking sneered. The melody flipped the big book in his hand.
Soth inserted his sword into the ground in front of him, and then opened his hands to the air. "Ah, hometown! Should I welcome it, or should it welcome me?" He laughed evilly, "Hahaha, this is indeed a dream.
Interesting topic.”
Magical Melody shrugged. "Is this funny?" he asked, "I heard that you used to be a Knight of the Heart of the Griffin?"
The young Lord of Sinking suppressed his smile. "Yeah, I hope that couple of bitches haven't forgotten me yet. I brought them a big gift." He rubbed his iron gloves and made a crackling sound. He smiled with a melody.
.The right hand waved forward slightly.
Accompanied by chants full of despair, the earth trembled. An army of 30,000 players and more than 10,000 NPC black knights poured out from behind him like a tide...
