"What - what!" Xiao Fen looked at the elf beauty who claimed to be a male in disbelief. His eyes were full of disbelief. He couldn't believe that such a charming elf beauty could actually be a man.
Yes, he suddenly had a shiver in his heart - could it be a transvestite?
"Or maybe she's pretending to be a man." He thought to himself, and at the same time looked at the other person's chest in a very impolite manner, but was disappointed to find that there was nothing he expected. At the same time, he noticed that the other person's throat had a slight protrusion.
"It's really weird." He sighed.
However, the elf bard was not angry because of his rudeness. In fact, after the other party explained his gender, he stood aside with a look of "keep away from strangers" on his face, and never meant to say anything again.
"Well, it's actually like this..." Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Half Apple quickly pulled Xiao Fen aside and explained in a low voice: "Mr. Yun's appearance is originally... uh, a bit more feminine. In addition, the elf
The adjustment of the face and voice of the race, a combination of circumstances, creates a 'big beauty', well, that's probably what it looks like, oh, a magical world!"
"Oh." After a brief shock, Xiao Fen quickly calmed himself down. "The world is full of wonders, and this is nothing." He said to himself.
"Okay! Everyone introduce yourselves, we have to hurry up!" The halfling raised his hand, showing an excited expression.
"Everyone should know by now that my name is Half Apple, and I am a level 4 thief. I am good at reconnaissance, eavesdropping, concealment, and dismantling various traps. In fact, I hope that our operation will be a complete success!" He took the lead first.
introduced.
The elf bard glanced at several people indifferently and introduced briefly and concisely: "Yun, a level 3 poet."
"Palin, a level 5 mage." Xiao Fen said, imitating the tone of the elf's beauty, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at the other person again.
The dwarf Forge Iron had already recovered his breath at this time. He blushed and patted his chest, which was aching from laughter, and said in a rough tone: "My name is Forge Iron. In fact, I am an upright dwarf. Oh, my
My profession is a warrior, a warrior of Ormodin! Although I am only level 4."
"I...I...I am...am..." Seeing everyone's eyes glancing at him, the half-orc player became nervous for a moment, and his already vague accent became even more unclear.
"His name is Manshi. He is a level 4 half-orc barbarian. He is also my best friend and comrade-in-arms. He is good at everything...well, he just stutters a bit." Wrought Iron quickly grabbed the half-orc player's words and explained.
Xiao Fen was secretly surprised after hearing the introductions of these people, and couldn't help but admire the ability of half an apple. Including himself, there were three big names standing here who were in the top ten of the rankings - he himself, that is, the game
Palin in the game is naturally ranked first; while the halfling with half an apple is ranked sixth; the half-orc player Manshi is also a ruthless character, and is the only barbarian in the top 10.
"If we look at professional combinations, this is probably one of the most powerful combinations in Canaan." He thought to himself.
"Is everyone here? What are our plans next?" Xiao Fen put away his random thoughts and raised his head and asked.
Half Apple looked around warily and said: "It's too unsafe here, let's not discuss it here... I don't want anyone to get there first or something else. Well, I booked it yesterday and set off.
First class on the Burke ferry, we'll talk on board."
"I can't tell that this guy is quite cautious." Xiao Fen secretly praised.
"No problem, I haven't been on a boat yet!" Wrought Iron raised his hands in agreement.
"I...I...Me and Iron Block."
"It doesn't matter." This was Yun's answer.
"What about you? Mr. Palin?" Half Apple turned his attention to Xiao Fen.
"Of course, I listen to you, but I have some questions to ask. It's best if we talk while walking." Xiao Fen said.
"Oh! Very good, let's hit the road." Half of the apple danced off the table, and just like that, Xiao Fen and others' first adventure began...
After paying 6 silver coins for the meal, the group left the Cast Iron Hotel. They walked through the lively main commercial street talking and laughing all the way (in fact, the dwarf kept staring at the mage, if this can be considered 'talking and laughing'...),
Keep walking towards the dock area.
The dock area of Everdark Town is a lively place - no matter day or night! Ships and goods from the other three towns around Lake of Stars will gather here, and then these goods will enter Grasse via the sandbar estuary on flat-bottomed sailing boats.
river and has been transported to several large cities in the west.
The dock area of Everdark Town is also a densely populated area for players. Soldiers, monks, priests, and players from other professions waiting for the ship gather together to exchange gossip or discuss the next adventure plan. As for the Thieves Guild's
The brothers' were mingling among the NPC dock workers, spying for suitable prey.
Walking through the bustling crowd, Half Apple finally found the flat-bottomed ketch named 'Vogding Breaker'. He waved excitedly for everyone to follow, but unfortunately the crowd was too dense and he was weak.
The mage and poet were soon lost in the crowd.
…………
After about 10 minutes, Xiao Fen was dizzy due to the crowds of people before he found his way and climbed onto the deck of the Vogelding Breaker. He felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained. He checked his money bag again.
There were actually more than 10 silver coins missing, and I couldn't help but let out a series of curses from the bottom of my heart.
Following the crew who led the way to the bottom cabin, Xiao Fen noticed that half an apple had spread out a huge map on the table of the rather luxurious cabin. The corners of the map were slightly yellowed, and it looked quite antique.
tight.
"This is?" Xiao Fen stared at the map, and then realized that it was the entire map of the western coast of the central Oras region. The map was very detailed, with marks on every town and even village, as well as rivers, forests, and hills.
Even coastal waterways have been mapped.
"Regional map!" he exclaimed, looking at the half apple in disbelief. "Did you do this?"
"Of course not, I'm not that capable." Half Apple explained with a smile: "I bought this for more than 100 gold coins!"
"What - what! 100 gold coins!" As soon as he said this, Wrought Iron's eyes when looking at the map changed, as if he was looking at the lover of his dreams. To be precise, it was called staring.
Regional maps are absolutely precious in the game, because the official has not published any game-related information online, including maps, etc. So for players, Canaan is a blank area, and they have a map in their hands.
It will save you a lot of detours. However, the price is also ridiculously expensive. In the game, 1 gold coin is equal to 10 silver coins, and 1 silver coin can be exchanged for 1 alliance coin in reality. In other words, this map is worth 1,000 yuan.
Xiao Fen smacked his tongue, but didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and said, "It will be much easier if we have a map."
Seeing that everyone had not yet entered into the topic, the elf poet standing aside was slightly impatient and said indifferently: "Plan." The meaning of the word "plan" was naturally that half an apple was needed to designate their route.
"The plan...yes, of course, let me tell you the route first." The halfling took a chess piece from the chessboard in the cabin and placed it at the location of Everdark Town on the map. "So, we are here now."
Then he pushed the chess to the location of Burke Town on the north shore of Star Lake. "A day and a half later we arrived at Burke Town, where our other three partners were. After gathering them, we rested in Burke Town for a day. Of course, this day
This is not for you to have fun... We need to purchase supplies and equipment, as well as thirty days' worth of food."
"The other three companions?" Xiao Fen was stunned. "What profession? Race?"
Half Apple smiled and said: "As for those three guys, I haven't actually seen them in person. I solicited them on a forum where professional gamers gather. What I asked for was a priest, a ranger and an additional profession. Of course,
What I said on the surface was that I had a bodyguard job at hand. In the end, I selected three more reliable people from among a hundred players, and then asked them to go to Burke Town to wait for the 'interview'. If they felt uneasy, they gave up."
"It's really troublesome..." As soon as Wrought Iron started to mutter, he was glared at by Half Apple, which scared him so much that he quickly swallowed the second half of his sentence.
"Go on." Yunyou spoke coldly.
"She has the same personality as Teacher Milekes!" Xiao Fen thought as he looked at the elf poet.
"Then... yes, then we pass through the red canyon on the back of Burke Town and continue north. We are expected to arrive at Spiny Castle in three days." Half Apple said as he continued to push the chess piece forward. "Spine Castle
It’s not a good place to rest, so we have to go north, leaving the Eternal Dark Hills area until we see the flat coastal plain about thirteen days later. The next route will be easy, along a covered road.
We can go all the way to Matir, the first town on the coastal plain, on the abandoned trade route. We will try to complete the above journey within one month of game time."
Xiao Fen stared at the red oak chess piece on the map, thought for a moment, and then asked: "What monster areas are we going to pass through on the way?"
"It's mostly a low-level monster area. Except for the section around Spinal Castle where you may encounter slightly higher-level monsters, I think we can handle it." The halfling said easily: "After all, this area is still considered a novice.
district……."
"Can you find a way to bypass the Spinal Castle?" Xiao Fen is not an adventurous person, and the businessman's route of carefully calculating every step is probably more suitable for him.
"Probably not. To the left of Spiny Castle is the middlemost area of Everdark Hills, which is absolutely dangerous, and to the right is Crimson Mountain, which is even more dangerous!" Half Apple replied.
"But I would like to add something." Half Apple added: "On the days when we remain an adventure team, it is best for everyone to go offline at the same time and agree on a time to go online at the same time."
"Of course." Xiao Fen replied.
But at this time, Wrought Iron rubbed his hands impatiently and said, "Hey, I haven't been on a boat yet, let me go to the deck and have a look."
"Of course, but this boat takes a day and a night, you have to watch it!" Xiao Fen said with a smile. He is a player nearby. Although he has not taken the ferry, he knows what is going on.
The dwarf shrugged his shoulders, not even caring about his orc companions, and ran out quickly, leaving a series of footsteps in the bottom cabin...
…………
The Vogelding Breaker is a well-known old ship in the Star Lake area, but its owner has carefully maintained it as good as a brand new ship. The length of the Breaker is more than 80 feet, and the height from the waterline to the top of the mast is 100 feet.
On the left and right is a standard medium-sized flat-bottomed ketch. At the same time, in order to guard against the lizards and water bandits in the lake, the Wavebreaker also specially installed a 160-degree swivel ballista at the stern.
Now this medium-sized flat-bottomed ketch is sailing quietly on the fixed channel of Xingchen Lake. Many players curiously gathered at the side of the ship to admire the charming scenery of Xingchen Lake, while the NPC crew skillfully hoisted the sails and smoothly
The movements are pleasing to the eye.
The lake was relatively calm today, and nothing worth mentioning happened. The sun slowly sank into the west with the calm time until night fell.
At this time, candles made of fine beeswax were lit in the first-class cabin inside the ship. Under this slightly dim candlelight, the halflings, half-orcs and dwarves had already fallen asleep, but the poet was playing the lute in the corner and murmuring.
He said to himself not knowing what else to say. As for Xiao Fen himself, out of boredom, he calmed down, set up his quill and started copying the scroll.
Copying scrolls is an expensive job. It costs more than 10 gold coins for a mage like him to copy a level 2 magic scroll (I have changed the calculation formula a lot, please don't go into details), so he has always been reluctant to copy the scrolls.
, but now I have to prepare for the adventurous work in the future, so I can’t worry about so much.
I copied more than 10 magic missile scrolls, and failed twice during the process. The money in my pocket was spent like water. However, what is slightly gratifying is that my craft: writing skills have actually increased a little, and my expertise in copying scrolls has also increased.
Many proficiencies are about to go from apprentice to craftsman level. (According to the game, I have changed the skills and expertise. I divided the expertise into many levels according to proficiency, and each level has different effects.)
He stretched his arms with satisfaction and was about to go to sleep when he heard an exclamation from the deck, followed by the rattle of a ballista as it rotated.
"What's going on?" He was secretly surprised, and without waking everyone up, he ran to the deck alone.
"What's wrong?" He grabbed a player who was running down the cabin and asked.
"Let me go... I'm a lizard-man marauder. Let's have some fun. I'll call my friends up!" The man broke away from Xiao Fen's hand and said hurriedly.
Xiao Fen suddenly realized that the only monster on Star Lake besides the water bandits was the lizard people. It was said that lizard people attacked ships from time to time, but as long as there were players on board, the ship would most likely be fine. But these lizards
The human race will become a pile of experience, which is why the player just now was so excited.
I added night vision to myself, and when I looked around, I couldn't help but take a breath of air. If every light green fin swimming around the boat represented a lizard man, then the number would be too much. Really
I don’t know how those players in the past turned so many lizards into experience - lizards are not kobolds.
