Jiang Feng controlled Basaka to go shopping with Eve, check out the local specialties, and get information along the way.
In the center of the open-air market, there stands a stone sundial. It is surrounded by turtle men setting up stalls, selling handicrafts made of beautiful shells, corals and pearls; there are also strange creatures that are endemic to the island, such as rabbits with horns on their heads.
, such as a small snake with a pair of membrane wings that can glide and fly.
Basaka and Eve walked around the market, bought some souvenirs, walked into the tavern, sat at the bar, and ordered two glasses of rum.
Taking this opportunity, Gao Fei issued a spiritual command, instructing Basaka to ask the bartender about anecdotes about the island, especially the rumors about Dragon Tooth Valley.
The generous tip successfully helped Gao Fei open up the Turtle Man bartender's chat box. He chatted for half an hour and revealed a lot of valuable information.
According to the bartender, before the Turtle People came to settle on this island 200 years ago, the Dragon Tooth Valley located in the south of the island had already become the burial place of a famous ancient dragon-slaying warrior. It is said that he was buried in the mausoleum together with
There are also teeth extracted from the mouth of the dragon that the warrior killed during his lifetime.
These magical dragon teeth take on the responsibility of guarding the tomb. Once an uninvited guest breaks into the valley, the dragon teeth sleeping in the soil will sprout quickly and develop into a team of fully armed "dragons" in less than a minute.
Tooth Soldier".
When the Turtle People settled on the island, they signed a contract with the Tomb Guards of Dragon Tooth Valley. The Dragon Tooth Soldiers would not attack the Turtle People immigrants on the island, but the Turtle People also had to promise not to trespass into Dragon Tooth Valley without permission.
, disturbing the dragon-slaying hero sleeping in the valley.
Over the past few years, foreigners have occasionally come to Turtle Island by boat, trying to break into the Dragon Tooth Valley to hunt for treasure under the guise of archaeological expeditions. As a result, they have all died under the sharp sword of the Dragon Tooth Guard.
The local residents were also disturbed, and later the mayor, Elder Quick, issued a decree:
Anyone who wants to explore the Dragon Tooth Valley must obtain a permit signed by him, otherwise he will be punished as a bandit!
Gao Fei opened the astrolabe to check the task list, and sure enough, a main line task was refreshed:
Go to the Turtleman Fortress to meet with Elder Quick and try to obtain an exploration permit issued by the Elder!
Gao Fei didn't rush to find the turtle man elder and continued to collect information in the bar.
I learned from the bartender that two troublesome things happened in the town recently that caused controversy.
One is that the underground warehouse of the pickled herring processing factory was occupied by a group of hateful "scavengers", and the factory was forced to shut down. The residents of this town have been without pickled herring for two weeks, and they are very resentful.
The second is that there is an extinct volcano standing in the middle of the island. The observatory on the top of the mountain was built in an unknown year. Now there are only ruins of broken walls. There is nothing surprising about it.
However, just two months ago, a mysterious Yuenaga came to the island, calling herself an "astrologer". On clear nights, she would observe the sky at the observatory at night, and she would also cast spells to summon all the people in the mountains and forests.
The poisonous python acts as a servant and prevents others from approaching the observatory.
This news spread to the town, arousing people's curiosity. Everyone was talking about what the sorceress with a human head and a snake body was doing at the observatory.
Could it be that, as she boasted, she could use the incomplete ancient instruments at the observatory to observe the changes in constellations in the night sky, and then predict fate and the future?
Speaking of the observatory, the bartender also included a rumor.
In the mountains and forests near the observatory, there lives a kind of elf called "Qieyun'aling" by the locals.
These little elves are kind and harmless miniature elemental creatures. If travelers arouse their curiosity and try to win their favor, they will have a chance to receive the "supernatural blessing" presented by Qie Yun'aling.
Some blessings are just harmless pranks, such as turning a man into a woman for a day, or temporarily turning a traveler's staff into a talking crow, while others are more practical, such as temporarily allowing the recipient to perform certain kinds of magic.
Ability.
"Whether you like it or not, the blessings given to people by these elves are temporary, or have a limit on the number of times they can be used. Even if you feel you have been teased, there is no need to get angry."
After saying this, the bartender smiled and walked away.
Gao Fei checked the task list, and sure enough, three new pieces of content appeared in the branch column, namely "Monster in the basement of the Pickled Herring Workshop", "Yue Naga at the Observatory" and "Xie Yun Aling in the Forest".
If nothing else, during the team’s adventure on Turtle Island, these three side missions will have the opportunity to be triggered.
At the appointed time, Gao Fei took Eve and Muning back to the dock. After waiting for a while, he saw Jiang Feng.
"Have you ever had a fight with a turtle man monk?" Gao Fei approached and asked.
"Forget it, I didn't know how to make friends with martial arts, but instead made me feel idle!" Jiang Nuxia complained to him angrily, "I happily ran to the ripple martial arts hall, and as soon as I entered the door, I followed the rules of the martial arts and reported myself as a master.
Door, unexpectedly, as soon as those old turtles heard that I was from Yangyan Sect, they immediately turned their faces and kicked me out of the door!"
"Why is this?" Gao Fei asked in surprise.
"At first, I didn't understand why they turned me away. Later, after asking around, I learned that the Ripple Martial Arts School has never welcomed monks from other schools to teach martial arts. They suspected that I sneaked in in the name of apprenticeship.
Martial arts hall, trying to steal the martial arts secrets of the Wave Sect, bring them back to the Yangyan sect’s martial arts hall, and study the method to crack them..."
"They are really blinded! If I were really a spy, how dare I say that I am a Yangyan Sect monk?"
The more Jiang Nuxia talked, the more angry she became.
"At that time, I really wanted to kick the gym, but when I saw a large group of turtle monks surrounding me, they clearly had no intention of practicing martial ethics. A group of people surrounded me and beat me up! Then I had to run away quickly?"
"That's right, a good girl won't suffer the immediate consequences." Gao Fei tried to comfort her while holding back his smile.
"Let me tell you, closing down as soon as possible is the greatest contribution to the martial arts world for this bullshit martial arts gym that sticks to its sectarian views and is stuck in its ways!" Jiang Feng complained, and most of his anger was gone. He turned to ask Gao Fei: "What about you?
Any progress on the side?”
"I asked around in the tavern and found out that the talker of this town is a turtle elder named Quick. If you want to openly enter the Dragon Tooth Valley, you must first obtain the authorization from Elder Quick. This may not be easy.
"Gao Fei said.
"What will happen without authorization? Is Elder Kuike very powerful?" Jiang Feng asked.
"I heard that Elder Quik is a level 5 Ripple Sect monk and a level 6 water druid. The turtle monks and druids on the island also obey his command. We'd better be more respectful to him."
Jiang Feng nodded slightly, with concern in his eyes: "Anyway, let's go visit Elder Kuike first. I hope he won't cause us any problems."
