Returning to the game, Sherlock contacted Tang Lie and his party, who had been waiting for a long time. They had already headed to Bow Bridge, the largest city in Bow Valley.
He was left alone and didn't have to walk on foot. He got on the carriage and checked what happened in the past few days when he was offline.
There were many various things, but none related to him. The only thing that needed to be noted was that someone had already reached level 3o, so by the way, he also studied the introduction of Druid level 3o skills.
Four hours later, Sherlock walked out of the carriage carriage at Bow Bridge.
Bow Bridge is the capital of Bow Valley and the largest city in all valleys.
Bow Bridge's prosperity is mainly due to its proximity to the legal border of Sambia and its strong military force.
Relying on the protection money provided by Sambia for a long time and war compensation from time to time, Bow Valley developed rapidly.
The unscrupulous merchants of Sambia have no concept of country at all, and the trade via Bow Bridge has never stopped even during wartime.
All of these create a bustling but disturbing city - Bow Bridge, the city walls that are constantly being torn down and rebuilt, the noisy and busy residents, and the market like Waterdeep are its three most notable features.
Perhaps influenced by the influence of Sambia, the locals of Bow Bridge are very arrogant, irritable and conceited. They are suspicious of all outsiders, unless you have a bag full of jingling gold coins, or you are from Sambia and Cote
Nobles of Mir.
Basically, Bow Bridge is recognized as an ideal trading location, but it is by no means a good place to settle, especially for adventurers.
Therefore, most players who are active in Bow Valley will gather on the white beach northwest of Bow Bridge.
The white beach is below the Akan Falls, where the Akan River originates.
Compared with that indifferent city that only cares about fame and fortune, Baitan seems very humane. Moreover, there is Thunder Peak to the west and Cormanso Forest to the back. They are both good places for leveling, and of course Tang Lie and his party are also there.
Inside the white beach.
Sherlock walked out of the city, mounted the Yeqi and flew for less than two hours before finally meeting them again. The situation was almost the same as when they parted. The only change was that the levels of several people had improved.
With the end of the All-Professional Challenge, a wave of upgrading craze has started again. More and more players have been upgraded to level 3o. He is now level 28, so he can find time to upgrade.
Tang Lie and Zhao Xiaodao had the same idea as him, because with their current strength, they simply couldn't deal with the target of this trip - Blackwater.
This organization, which is notorious outside, has considerable influence in the Bow Valley. Its owner, a family named Duck, is also the chief of the Bow Bridge Town Hall.
If you want to dismantle such an organization that has been entrenched in Gong Valley for many years, you will definitely not be able to rely on head-on confrontation. You can only upgrade while thinking of other ways.
Of course, sharpening a knife is as good as chopping firewood. As a small agricultural town, Baitan has three things that are very famous in the culinary world.
Stone crabs, fruits, and mushrooms.
Stone crab players can go fishing in the Aken River by themselves. Mushrooms can be picked everywhere. Only fruits are specially grown by someone and can only be obtained at the Jandala Fruit Shop in the town.
Here you can take on a repeated mission to clean up the monsters on Terra Gebra Mountain. If you brush 500 monsters, you can get a fruit. A piece of fruit costs 100 gold in the player market. For most players, it is considered a
Good progress.
"Sherlock, you are a man with a net worth of over a million, and you still have to take on a mission for 100 gold. Are you bothered?" Tang Lie felt that he had to travel across the entire town for 100 gold.
He was very speechless. He ate more than ten of this fruit in one go on the first day. He really didn't know what the meaning of this task was.
"It's different. Can you understand the satisfaction of getting rewards through tasks?" Sherlock said seriously. He would not admit that he was reluctant to part with the 100 gold.
After receiving the mission, the group headed towards Terra Gebra Mountain.
Mount Terra Gebra is the name of an ogre wizard who once ruled this area. He named this huge mountain range after himself. For unknown reasons, many years after his death, it became the name of this place.
The owners, the residents of the Bow Valley, made no attempt to change the name.
The east side of this mountain range is the territory of Bow Valley, while the west side is occupied by orcs and goblins. The dividing point between the two sides is Thunder Peak at the top, which is Sherlock's main goal of going up the mountain this time.
Unfortunately, when they walked along the mountain path to the top, they were told by the rangers guarding there that the entire Thunder Peak had been buried by heavy snow, including the road to the peak.
Hearing the ranger's description, Sherlock also remembered that it was already the last month of the year - the dawn of the year. However, the valley was located in the subtropics, so the temperature changes were not very obvious, and the altitude of Thunder Peak was so high.
, being buried under heavy snow is a matter of course.
What's even more frustrating is that the ranger told him that the snow on the peak will not melt until Sunset Claws next year, which is March.
The power of nature cannot be resisted by individuals, and Shylock can only return in despair.
The task of finding the half of the Configuration Prophecy Scroll in the Sandakol Temple cannot be completed in a short period of time. Now it seems that the only thing left is to upgrade.
They are now a group of two druids, a ranger, a paladin, and a conjurer. The professional combination is not very reasonable, but the strength is not weak.
All the players have entered the professional challenge. The two NPCs are either elites or leaders, and both are good at killing monsters.
So for the next time, they stayed on the Terra Gebra Mountain to farm monsters.
…
One night 15 days later, Sherlock rode the Thestral back from White Beach with a dusty face.
During this period of time, all the potions consumed for upgrading were purchased by him riding the Thestral Qin back to town, because he was the only one who would go to the trouble of picking up the fruit mission from Jandalla.
"Ai Gao, just let me play with your bow. You can set whatever conditions you want."
"The bow is there for the people, but the bow destroys the people!"
"Buy, what do you think of the new cloth I bought? I feel this style should be popular now."
"Yi~"
Ever since Tang Lie saw Ai Gao's legendary longbow that could grow, Sherlock's ears had not been quiet for a moment.
After Zhao Xiaodao couldn't find anyone to show off to, he turned his attention to Buyi, whose personality was still incomplete, and spread some extravagant thoughts to him every day.
"Hey, hey, everyone is at level 30. Let's go down the mountain tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, all four pairs of eyes forgot about him, and their expressions ranged from disbelief to ecstasy.
"Finally, they can go down the mountain. I'm speechless."
"Screw your common clothes, I want to buy fashionable clothes, I want to change my clothes."
Tang Lie and Zhao Xiaodao were the first to cheer. Although Ai Gao on the side hid it very well, the curve of the corner of his mouth showed that he was suppressing a smile. Even Bu Yi was so excited that he didn't know what it was called.
"Is it that exaggerated? Isn't it just that I spent 15 days killing ogres?" Sherlock said calmly.
"vomit!"
"Ugh! Don't say these three words to me."
"You rich people, you really don't know how hard it is for us professional players!" Sherlock was still making sarcastic remarks.
The ogres in Terra Gebula Mountain have high experience and are the most suitable upgrade targets due to their fast refresh rate. In order to upgrade efficiency, they have killed at least tens of thousands of ogres in the past few days. It was not until the past two days that Tang Lie and Zhao
Xiaodao forced him to die before agreeing to change to a different kind of monster.
"Okay, I have good news or a bad smile, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Usually both of them should be bad news at this time." Zhao Xiaodao had a vague feeling of bad premonition.
"Then let me tell you the good news first. Thanks to my persistence these days, Jian Dara gave me a special task to pick fifty kvass. The reward is a random professional skill book. And this task
It can be shared. You have seen the sharp vision of a professional player. Praise me, I won't be proud." After Sherlock finished speaking, he introduced the beginning and end of the mission.
This special task is not assigned casually, but because the new year is coming soon, and Faerûn will also usher in the most important festival of the year - the Great Cold.
In Baitan, in order to welcome this festival, the town's famous Temple of Grace, the Temple of the Earth Mother Goddess Shantia, will join forces with the Temple of Joy in Lierla to hold a grand celebration - the Harvest Festival, to pray for the future.
The new year brings good weather and good harvests.
As the most famous fruit shop in town, Jian Dara certainly needs to contribute its own share of the effort. Common fruits have already been collected, but the precious fruits used as prizes require the help of players.
Currently, only players who are level 30 and have completed level 10 or above quests from Jan Dara are eligible to accept this quest. Sherlock is one of the very few people.
"It sounds good, so let's talk about the bad news." As long as it's not about killing ogres, Zhao Xiaodao thinks she can accept it.
"Well, the bad news is...Kvass grows in Ogre..."
"vomit!"
"Xia, Luo, Ke, I will fight with you!"
…
After Sherlock agreed to sew a set of level 30 equipment for everyone, the other four finally accepted the task willingly.
When he reached level 3o, he actually planned to change his equipment. One was a gauntlet and the other was a ring. Of course, he wouldn't mind changing it if there were suitable ones in other positions.
The place where Kvass grows is not far away, in the Ogre Cave above Aken Falls.
During the long reign of the ogre wizard, this cave was expanded countless times to store the slaves, treasures and food he plundered.
After it died, humans regained control of this mountain range, but the ogres gathered here were never able to be dispersed.
In recent years, a powerful ogre wizard has used this cave as his base, and seems to want to repeat the achievements of his predecessors.
Therefore, the current ogre cave is quite dangerous, and the monsters inside are not comparable to the infinitely spawning wild monsters all over the mountains and plains.
This is the lowest level in the cave. The deeper you go inside, the higher the level of the monsters. It is said that the ogre wizard inside is a level 60 lair boss. I don’t know if it is true or not.
Everyone randomly chose a cave entrance and walked deeper while cleaning up the monsters along the way.
There are not many teams that have the ability to farm level 30 large creatures, so they didn't see other players along the way, but they picked up a few treasure chests because they were so inaccessible.
However, they have been opened by thieves countless times. The items are very average and not as good as those dropped by monsters.
Two hours later...
"Sherlock, there is a level 35 ogre leader ahead." Aigao, who was in charge of the investigation, reported what he saw.
"Keep killing, I'll take the responsibility!" Sherlock is used to encountering leader monsters after just a few steps. This cave must have been opened up by no one, and the monster's explosion rate and level are quite high.
With the transformation of the wind fairy, he has defeated countless ogre bosses. This kind of monster without any spellcasting ability can hardly pose any threat to him with extremely high physical defense. With the four high output behind him,
, you can pass by standing still.
"A monk skill book and an excellent quality hat, I'm too lazy to pick them up." Tang Lie threw the items into the team package with a look of disgust.
"At least it can be sold for several thousand gold. Let's deal with it together when we return to town."
Sherlock took one look and stopped paying attention. As the level increased, the attributes of the equipment exploded in the wild became worse and worse. This is why Tang Lie and the others wanted him to make armor so much.
After killing 4 leader monsters in total, they finally found the Gervase mentioned by Jan Dara.
Kvass is a wheat-yellow fruit about the same size as a pigeon egg. The juice in the pulp is naturally rich in alcohol and is also an excellent cooking ingredient.
This is an excellent substitute for ogres who cannot make wine and are not tolerated by civilized society, so they often grow this fruit near their gathering places.
Togus (Lord): Level 38, HP 750,000, skills shock wave, giant wood hammer, regeneration, brutal attack, whirlwind, war roar.
"Sherlock, how do you fight? The lord monster can attract small monsters. This room is not big. It will be very troublesome if you are accidentally surrounded." Although Tang Lie is a credit player, he is not familiar with the gameplay.
Even if you don't know anything about it, even an average Boss can figure it out.
"I can also see the specific attributes. Let's try it first. You give priority to cleaning up the mobs. If I can't handle it, I can just kite for a while. There should be no problem."
The level 38 melee and physical attack lord should not be difficult to defeat, but the output requirements are relatively high, especially since the ogre has regeneration, a passive skill that can increase life recovery.
Dusk Shuriken was in hand, and Sherlock rushed out first.
Having killed tens of thousands of ogres, he already knew the stress mode of this creature very well. He could predict the opponent's next move just by seeing the twitching muscles in his eyes.
