(PS The endless September is finally coming to an end, and the outbreak is about to come to the human world. Finally, I would like to recommend a very good book to my classmates, The Rebirth of a Superstar. Students who love the city can read it.
It’s really good, but why only 6,000 words in one day?
The war ends. The adventure begins)
It was raining outside the window, and the water line connected the sky and the earth to form a gray rain curtain. Occasionally, a white lightning broke from between the clouds, reflecting the world in a bright light.
The rumble of thunder came from overhead, like a giant beast walking between the clouds. The sound shook the cups, plates, and utensils, and the wooden shelves made a rattling sound. The mage sat by a wooden window and looked at the eaves.
Outside the gray sky, water droplets hang down in a line, ticking on the stone slabs, repeatedly washing away the dust that has been flying in the past.
The cool wind in the rain flows into the wooden hall. Just like the residents of this area who are close to nature, the windows of the 'Wine Dream' hotel are wide and the room is bright. Looking at it - there is a kind of atmosphere between the wooden floors and beams.
With dark textures, southern residents treated these woods with special potions to prevent borers - although there are no borers in the game, the designers did not forget the details.
Looking up, you can see the criss-cross beams on the ceiling. If you look closely, they are carved with flying dragons, fire-breathing dragons, and sleeping dragons. These hand-made patterns are full of simple beauty. According to legend, the residents of Jiye Forest were in ancient times.
They are a race of dragons, but this statement is based on their customs. However, this place is not rich in warlocks, but a place where some adventurers and mercenaries linger...
The earthen pots were hung on the beams. A patch of green hung down from them. They were original vines, with new green leaves stacked one on top of another, which was exactly what this hotel was meant for. The mage looked at these plants with pleasure and picked them up.
He took a sip of the ale in the wooden cup; but when he put the cup down, some foam stuck to the corner of his mouth, making the little girl giggle.
Drinking a little wine in the early morning is good for blood circulation. This is a little trick the boss of Yongan Town told him. Xiao Fen laughed at it, but it's good to be nostalgic once in a while.
Another bolt of lightning fell, causing the wooden plate on the table to rattle. Several fiery red berries were rolling around on the plate - these fruits were as big as a thumb and very delicious. They were ordered by the little girl.
"I thought about the Sage's Certificate for a while, and it may be because of your experience. In other words, if you continue to upgrade your level, you can still open your original hidden advancement and general advancement without having to complete the corresponding
The mission." The mage put down the cup and said: "Sophia was originally a paladin advanced dragon knight, right? What else?"
Sophia put one hand on the table and held up her tilted little head; she looked at the foam on Xiao Fen's lips and couldn't help but giggle.
The mage raised his eyebrows and threatened: "Little girl, as a fifth-level knight, if you offend a sixteenth-level magician, the consequences will be very serious."
The little girl was laughing so hard that she was out of breath, and her entire body was lying on the table.
"Haha, ha, Brother Palin, you are so scary——"
"Oh, do you still want to try that spell of mine?"
"Ah. No, it's disgusting -!" Sophia blushed, gathered her emotions and sat up. Xiao Fen's threats frightened the little girl. She just had a little leisure time while practicing leveling the day before yesterday.
, the former threw a Tasha Laughter spell - that terrible memory is still unforgettable to this day - you have to admit that some of the mage's spells are indeed very hateful.
Probably because she laughed so hard before, the little girl was still panting a little as she replied: "It's the Knight of Heaven, Brother Palin."
Xiao Fen turned around and saw that there were still some guests sitting in twos and threes in the far corner of the hall. Most of those wearing long dark green cloaks covering their whole bodies were adventurers from out of town. The Green Dragon Mountains are rich in high-level monsters, especially bipedal ones.
The materials on flying dragons, dragon turtles and horn-winged monsters are important sources of materials for some magic products on the market.
For example, the iron feathers and poison glands of the flying dragon, the scales and carapace of the dragon turtle, and the horns of the horn-winged monsters. Especially the horns of the horn-winged monsters are the mission items of a famous mission in Canaan - according to legend, Milo
A dwarf blacksmith in Koro would use its horn to make a spear called 'Kayrus' Sound Spear'. The market price was once as high as one hundred and twenty after the Hand of Despair occupied Six Towns (now Four Towns).
It's more than one gold coin, and it's still priceless.
However, after the Hand of Despair left, many knights and black knight players organized themselves to go here to hunt horn-winged monsters, and the number of players from Milocoro obviously increased.
It’s just that after the rainy season, the mountain roads become muddy and difficult to navigate, and hunting activities become much less frequent——
And anyway, Huoash Town is still a small place, and you can’t find many things here. Even daily supplies are not enough. Barrenness and primitiveness are probably the only ecology here, and because of the land, agriculture is very backward. This is probably why
The reason why Hand of Despair finally gave up on this place. When Xiao Fen saw the two or three adventurers with kittens in the huge hall, he roughly understood the current situation of this place.
What's more, the relationship between the player and the NPCs is not harmonious. Half of the town was destroyed in the war with the Hand of Despair. Many people died. Of course, the people left behind will not have much favorable impressions of the player.
"So what happened to this sword?" the little girl asked: "Logically, the equipment should be left with my body, but this sword was reborn with me?"
In fact, since the Holy Sword Atikalan was resurrected together with the little girl, it has become an existence like a mission prop. The attributes written on it are: Completely Unsealed Sword of Judgment, Holy Atikalan (Repaired
(medium), other attributes are blank. It is equivalent to turning into an iron rod, which has no function except for knocking people. The attributes and curses that existed before are now completely gone.
Now the little girl is temporarily using an ordinary two-handed sword, which she bought from a player here.
"Maybe it's part of the sword's mission. The mission of the artifact cannot be inferred from common sense." Xiao Fen raised his wine glass and took a sip.
"That's it."
"Speaking of which," the mage pondered for a moment: "How are you doing with what I asked you to ask, little girl?"
Previously, he sent the little girl to ask the fat bartender about the recent unusual movements of players in this area, mainly to find clues left by the Bloody Slayer; now this was once the third largest guild in Oras.
, but now it has plummeted and turned into an ordinary elite guild. The player organization is undergoing internal purges to eliminate the high-level traitor problem that was exposed some time ago.
According to Te Yi's message, the Bloody Slayer has implemented a plenary silence system during this season (which means prohibiting any external communications). As for the extent of the internal purge, outsiders cannot know. Xiao Fen does not intend to wait for the other party to contact him actively -
- He doesn't have that much time, but it's not easy to find a guild with only a few thousand people in the jungle in this area.
The only clue is to judge from the movements of players. However, although there are not many players in the four towns of the Green Dragon Basin, there are two or three large and small guilds with a huge population base, so the mage changed after a few days.
I inquired at several hotels but found nothing.
Yuki and the others are about to head south. Time is gradually getting tight——
"Well, the uncle said that a few groups of people did come here about a week ago, but they all went towards the mountains, and may have arrived in Green Town now. And I heard from the uncle that they didn't seem to plan to be there.
The stay seems to be to continue deep into the Green Dragon Mountains." The little girl held her holy sword in both hands and replied: "It should be Sister Blood Song and the others. It is also very difficult for the Blood Slayer to enter the four towns separately in order not to attract attention.
It’s possible——”
Xiao Fen frowned. A week ago? There seems to be a difference in time. The Bloody Slayer should not have arrived so late. Their senior officials should have arrived in the four towns around June, and they didn't hear anything about it along the way.
Encountered some kind of trouble. If such a large guild were to conflict with the Hand of Despair, there would be no news at all on the forum, especially since the places along the way passed through heavily populated areas.
However, it cannot be ruled out that it is a follow-up part. It is not an easy task for such a large guild to pass through the occupied areas of the Rune Island Empire and the Hand of Despair. It involves the movement of thousands of people. The mage inadvertently left a comment on this matter.
Of course, it's just a little attention. Sometimes necessary vigilance is necessary.
But we don’t plan to stay at the next stop. Could it be that Xue Ge plans to stop at Gravel Town?” Xiao Fen was stunned when he heard the second half of the little girl’s words. If he remembered correctly, the mage remembered that it happened to be the east end of Jiye Forest—
—Except for being in the western section of the Green Dragon Mountains, Jiye Forest is actually an out-and-out swamp jungle.
Probably because of the direction of the terrain, the water vapor from Quiet Bay is blocked at the southern foot of the Green Dragon Mountains. When precipitation occurs, it is deposited in the basin. This forms a unique natural landscape here. And Putolin and Huohuizhen
It happens to be in the higher western half of the basin, heading southeast into the mountains. After about a day or two, the terrain begins to gradually sink into the eastern half of the basin.
The jungles here are dense, the climate is gradually becoming sultry, mosquitoes and diseases breed, and the layers of tree canopies can make you unable to see the sun all day long. Rivers crisscross the dark forest, except for the aerial roots of the local specialty eucalyptus trees that rise above the water.
Outside, you rarely see land.
There is an opening in the basin to the south, and the Night Forest meanders along a long river into the Far South Forest. The swamp becomes huge and mysterious there, and it is a wilderness with almost no civilization - this is exactly
The Far South Swamp. But it is the only way between Oras and the Principality of Corin. Of course, you can also go west across the vast desert. But only madmen and desperadoes would do that.
About three hundred years ago, during the heyday of the Dragon City's pioneering era, a trade route was preserved here. The lords invested a sky-high maintenance fee to ensure that the caravans could shuttle between the principality and Oras. However, this
The road is now deserted, and the Principality of Corin can almost become independent from the existence of the empire.
Of course, these are all digressions. What puzzles Xiao Fen is that it seems that the 'Green Town' located right in the jungle is obviously more suitable for bloody killers to hide their strength in a dark swamp - although
It's barren and a bit more difficult, but it can definitely be considered a temporary choice for this guild.
Rather than Gravel Town. To be honest, Gravel Town had no impression in his mind at all. This place was so remote that it was probably the desperate situation of Oras humans heading to the east. The mage specifically searched for his own place, geography and
With his historical knowledge, he found some records about this town, which also benefited from some information he recently found in the private library of Thornburg.
The description of this town comes from the above information:
Xiao Fen soon discovered that Gravel Town actually had an open-pit gold mine in the past era. The gold rush boom once made this place the most desirable area for adventurers, so shantytowns for people to live in were quickly built in the mining area——
This was also the predecessor of Gravel Town. However, the extremely high-quality gold veins were quickly mined by the enthusiastic crowd - the most glorious days of Gravel Town gradually passed away as the gold dwindled, and the strong adventurers and the
The second generation who grew up in the town soon left here. In the increasingly dilapidated town, only women, the elderly and children were left, with almost no hope.
Xiao Fen also specifically checked the location of the gold mine and found that it happened to be on a mountain pass to the south of the Dead Wind Crack.
This discovery was somewhat interesting. The mage not only stretched out his pale finger and tapped the table.
The Dead Wind Rift is the most peculiar terrain zone in the Cloud Mountains in the Netherland Forest. It is composed of countless canyons, like a huge maze. The first person to discover this wonder of nature was Sir Bampus Manor, who came from the Netherland Forest.
To the south of the Domain Forest and to the east of the Young Forest Forest, we followed a small river up to its source. In order to trace the remains of the dwarf empire, we unexpectedly discovered this spectacular grand canyon.
However, he was also unlucky because of this. He was lost in the Dead Wind Rift for about three years and almost turned into a savage before he finally came out. But it was a blessing in disguise that he won the gold medal of the Balgans Geological Society. History
Only seven people in the world have received this honor.
The most famous thing about Deadwind Rift is not only its size, but also the residents inside - the Karoz dwarves.
The first person to discover the dwarves of Karroz was Baron John, an honorary member of the Arbor Talk Explorers Association. He discovered these natives during an expedition into the Dead Wind Rift. He himself believed that these swarthy dwarves were from the high mountains of the Cloud Mountains.
The descendants of dwarves come from the ancient dwarf empire, but it was later confirmed that these dwarves are the descendants of the elements and close relatives of the fire dwarves.
Descendants of the elements, Xiao Fen instinctively felt his heart beating. He believed that the Bloody Slayer must have obtained some private goods. "Could it be that they plan to explore the Dead Wind Rift, but do they have any clues? Or are the forces of the elemental gods starting to search?
Are you your agent in the lower realm?" The mage couldn't help but put forward a few guesses, but this must be based on the premise that the elemental lords have escaped that huge seal.
I just don’t know how Liforni is doing, and everything about her brother Odomidin.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and saw the little girl looking outside the street - those players wearing long gray cloaks were walking in the heavy rain, with weapons peeking out from under their cloaks from time to time. Some people were walking on the eaves of the street.
Sell the magic items you find while shouting. Doing this can save time on days when leveling is not possible, and most players seize every opportunity to improve themselves.
"What, do you want to go out?" Xiao Fen asked.
"I don't think about it when it rains." Sophia shook her head like a rattle.
"It's not up to you. Are you ready?" The mage put down the cup, wiped his lips, and suddenly said: "When we are ready, let's hit the road. Today's mission is to reach level six."
The little girl looked at Xiao Fen pitifully. To be honest, she really liked everything now. She could be alone with Brother Palin, and the two of them could level up without anyone disturbing them. But compared to leveling up in the rain, she still felt more comfortable.
I like to just sit with the person I like, chat, eat snacks, and look at the scenery in the rain outside.
"It's no use acting like a baby." The mage smiled faintly and stood up.
Sophia lay on the table dejectedly.
"Brother Palin is so annoying, he doesn't understand the charm at all." She pouted and complained.
"What kind of style?"
"It's the most comfortable to sit here at this time. It's wet and humid outside. I really don't want to move." The little girl said with dissatisfaction. She stretched out her hands on the table and almost fell to the ground like a dead snake.
Go up: "Occasionally, you won't die if you don't level up for a day."
Xiao Fen looked at this guy who didn't have the usual energy at all, and couldn't help but sigh: "It makes people laugh when they see that this is the hero who saved Brossalon. Besides, Level 5
Sophia is shining gold and has no human rights.”
The little girl raised her eyebrows and stabbed her with a sword in anger.
"Brother Palin, go to hell!"
The mage blocked her sword with only one hand holding the staff, and smiled: "Okay, stop making trouble."
The little girl stood up reluctantly, with an expression like 'I'm going to die, I really don't want to move'.
However, the captain's decision cannot be changed. The two settled the bill quickly and asked for two sets of rain gear from the boss - mainly oilcloth cloaks, walking sticks and boots. Then the two went to the door of the hotel to put on their rain gear.
Wearing this long and wide cloak unique to the South, the little girl made fun of her captain for looking like a pagan when he was dressing.
For this level of teasing, Xiao Fen just glared back. The adventure with the little girl made him very relaxed. The former seemed like a pistachio, which always made people unable to be serious. But this 'Silver Vislan'
The title of "little princess" is not given for nothing. The little girl is procrastinating when it comes to leveling. She can be lazy but will never take the initiative to be diligent. In short, there are various excuses and accidents, and she behaves like a princess -
—Made the accompanying mage want to escort her to level up.
In fact, it is indeed focused on leveling up.
The mage was checking the dry food in his backpack - the spicy noodles that are very popular in this area. Did he like it very much? However, the little girl was quite fond of this stuff, which surprised him. And the little girl just opened the door.
The sound of rain outside suddenly rushed in, and the heaven and earth became one. Both of them felt a burst of cold fresh air blowing into their faces.
Then there was a flash of lightning.
Amidst the rolling thunder, a man's voice from behind stopped the two people who were about to go out: "Two of you, are you going out to practice on such a rainy day?"
The mage turned back and stared at the person indifferently. He always spoke truthfully to strangers - he was a handsome young man, and his face looked a little nervous - but it was obvious that the other person was not a stranger.
A shy and introverted person, but he must have mistaken himself for an NPC. Xiao Fen often encountered this kind of thing.
"Well, I saw you bought dry food." The young man was stared at with some horror, and he quickly explained: "I don't mean any harm."
"What's the matter?" The little girl turned around and asked curiously, holding the doorknob with one hand.
"If you want to go into the mountains, can we go together?" The young man then revealed his intention: "I mean..."
Xiao Fen narrowed his eyes and raised his head to look behind him.
