"Sea of Fallen Stars...Island...Necromancer..." Nick quickly thought about the feasibility, and gradually became desperate.
With his current ability, let alone going to sea, even if he does find the necromancer, he will probably be captured and studied by the other party.
"Old friend, you will help me, right?"
"I'm also quite interested in that Necromancer, but for some reasons, I can't go there in person." Avender turned his attention to Sherlock and changed the subject again: "Unless someone is willing to do it for you."
Come on, you don't need to guess to know that it's another hidden mission.
High-level NPC tasks like this cannot be accepted casually. Collecting materials and the like are fine. Tasks such as going to a hidden island in the sea to find a necromancer must be carefully considered.
However, the other party was obviously not prepared to give him time to think about it.
"Adventurer, Karen told me that you are preparing to go on an adventure to the Starfall Sea, so you shouldn't refuse my request."
A high-level lich has said this, and Sherlock has no doubt that if he refuses now, he can go directly to see the God of Creation.
"Mr. Seslund, I am very willing to help you, but with my current strength, I am not sure to face a mysterious necromancer directly. I don't know if you can provide me with some help."
You can usually negotiate for a high-level NPC's quest, even if the other party is a lich.
"Of course. My most loyal servant will accompany you. If you have any questions along the way, you can ask her."
"The most loyal servant is..."
"As you think!"
"Meow!" Karen echoed from the side.
Sherlock originally just wanted to advance the reward, but he didn't expect that Avender would let Karen go with him. This mobile encyclopedia is worth much more than one or two pieces of equipment.
We have been together day and night along the way, and with his superb cooking skills, he will be able to ask as many questions as he wants.
But in this case, this task is not as simple as the other party said. What does the mysterious necromancer have in his possession is worthy of a powerful lich spending so much effort to obtain it.
Perhaps we can only take a peek at all this after we actually find each other.
After successfully accepting the mission, Sherlock is no longer prepared to stay here.
Counting the days, half of Winter's Claw has passed, which means that winter will also come to an end. When the first ray of spring breeze blows through the Falling Star Sea, he will go out to sea with the returning wind.
Originally, he only went to sea for other people's missions, but now he has the treasure of the Pirate King and the necromancer of the mysterious island. Both of these tasks have made him pay more attention to this voyage.
Before that, he had to make a trip to Bow Valley.
He received news that the snow on Thunder Peak was slowly melting, and if he passed now, he should be able to go up the mountain as soon as possible.
The Twilight Lord's mage tower is actually in the Shadow Plane, but he uses magic to isolate the rules of the plane, so many things in the tower are the same as those in the material plane.
Under the leadership of Karen, Sherlock once again stepped through the Dusk Gate, and then rushed to White Beach alone.
Baitan is still the same as before. After the Harvest Festival celebration video was uploaded to the forum, the town became more lively.
As we walked up the mountain trail of Terra Gebra Mountain, when we came to the checkpoint leading to Thunder Peak, the ranger who had been guarding here was no longer there, replaced by a warning sign warning of snow accumulation.
In fact, Thunder Peak is not safe after the snow melts, because the orcs, goblins and ogres will reappear on it. And just like the Stormhorn Mountains, terrible destructive storms often suddenly blow on the mountain peak.
Despite such a harsh environment, Thunder Peak still attracts a large number of players.
Because recently, players discovered a huge and untapped silver mine at the bottom of the mountain.
Sherlock went up the mountain this time and had another task related to this.
The development of a mine, even on Thunder Peak where the snow has not yet completely melted, was not a problem for the studios and the Grand Guild near Baitan. They completed the development on the night they discovered the silver mine.
In the room where the final boss was located, everyone made an even bigger discovery. There was actually a huge silver door hidden on the rock wall on one side.
This greatly delighted the people present at the time, but after trying various methods, they discovered that the door could only be opened by activating the mechanism on the door with a key.
This aspect of the setting in Forgotten Realm is quite strange. This kind of individually corresponding key does not necessarily appear near the door. If no one completes the relevant task chain, it will never even appear. What's even more annoying is
Sometimes you get a key accidentally, but you don't know where it will be used.
For these reasons, the forum also has a special key trading section. What kind of keys are needed, or if you want to know the purpose of the keys in your hand, you can ask questions about the transaction here.
This time, it was a coincidence. Someone immediately responded to the message just released, and it happened to correspond to this door.
The holder of the key is a thief player. It is said that he opened it from the dark gold treasure chest next to the lair boss in the ogre cave.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, in the end, the two strongest local guilds, Dream Valley and Taoyuan Wonderland, jointly bought the ownership of the key and prepared to join forces to open up the next plot.
As a result, the mechanism is opened, but there is a second layer of protection waiting for everyone on the door. It is a sealing technique, or it is sealed with dragon language magic. It requires three players with dragon language level 6 or above to chant the spell together.
Lift.
This stumped both the bosses of the two guilds.
In addition to the innate language, the additional languages that players learn are all at level one initially. If they want to upgrade, they must reach full proficiency like a skill and then spend skill points to upgrade.
But skill points are inherently precious, and no one would waste them on a language. Dragon Language is pretty good, and there are always a few mages who will invest skill points in it.
After searching for connections, the two major guilds finally contacted two people who met the conditions. As for the third one, it fell on Sherlock.
The friend who helped him keep an eye on the environment at Thunder Peak was a junior high-level executive in the Logistics Department of Dream Valley, so he had to help him with this. Favors come and go.
When Sherlock came to the depths of the mine, a large group of people were already waiting for him.
"Scar!" he shouted towards the dwarf monk in the distance.
"Lao Xia, you're here, thank you very much this time."
The two chatted for a while, and Scar introduced him to the person in charge of the operation.
The personnel finally arrived, and the exploration operation officially began. After all, any more delay would increase the possibility of accidents.
