"You guys wait a moment, I'll go report!!" After taking the money, the guard turned around and entered the fortress, and another guard appeared inside the door to temporarily take his place.
It was just a test at first, but when I saw that the guard had no intention of evading, he just put the gold coins into his pocket. Oops, I am really speechless. This guy is indeed a money-grubber. As expected of a game made by this magical country, tsk tsk, this human touch is really
too...
After waiting for a while, the guard who just collected the money came out, "Brave and generous adventurers, General Luo Feng asked me to invite you in!!!"
Seeing the show, I nodded slightly to express my thanks, Tudou and the others followed behind. The six of us followed the guards and entered the gate of the fortress.
The situation inside the fortress is a bit different from what I imagined. In my imagination, the fortress should be lined with rows of barracks, large groups of patrolling guards, piles of rolling stones and wood, and towering sentry towers. But
After passing through the thick city wall, we discovered that this place is more accurately described as a small town than a fortress.
After entering the fortress, there are many aborigines inside, and there are various shops, groceries, weapons, armors, pharmacies, and various functional NPCs on both sides of the street.
"Wow, it's so big in here!!" Cang Qiong became familiar with the environment in the lower city and couldn't help but sigh.
"This fortress has a history of more than 170 years. It existed long before our army was stationed here. In order to resist the terrifying creatures on the other side of the abyss, we built such a thick and tall city wall!!" The guard who led the way was obviously in a mood.
Yes, I sighed when I saw the city wall and talked to him.
Seeing that the guard actually started talking to him, Tudou also asked: "It's so remote here, are there any unique specialties?"
After listening to Tudou's abrupt inquiry, the guard paused for a moment and said: "On the verge of the abyss, the original residents here are more or less unique, but there is one thing I need to remind you. Many shops with a long history sell things other than what you need.
In addition to imperial gold coins, you may also want many strange and weird things!"
"Hmm??? For example?" I looked at the guard with a slightly questioning look.
The guard casually took out an unknown animal tooth from his waist and said: "For example, this is the tooth of an adult three-headed dog!!"
It turned out to be a specific material. What did I think I wanted? Since the guards said so, after meeting General Luo Feng, I must walk around the fortress to see if there are any valuable specialties here.
After following the guards through half of the fortress, we saw a large barracks at the far west, and we should have reached our destination next.
After checking the badge password, we walked around in the barracks until we finally reached a larger tent. After communicating with the guards outside the tent, we were allowed to enter.
"Adventurers of the kingdom, are you holding the power of attorney from His Majesty the King and want to pass through this fortress and venture to the west???" As soon as we entered the door, a middle-aged man covered in powerful armor spoke. I raised my eyebrows.
I took a sneak peek and saw the name of Feiyun City General Luo Feng on his forehead.
I lowered my head humbly and performed a standard archer's salute before saying, "Yes, General!!"
“Can you bring me the power of attorney to look at???”
"certainly!!"
I took out the power of attorney and walked over to it, handing it over with both hands. Luo Feng didn't seem to care much about etiquette. He casually took the power of attorney with the king's seal and began to look at it carefully.
Half a minute later, Luo Feng put away the letter of entrustment and said: "It is undoubtedly a letter from the kingdom. Come here, go to the warehouse to get the token that passed through the fortress gate!!"
"Yes!" The money-greedy guard responded at the door, turned around and went out.
After a while, the guard appeared in front of us with a brown waistband. He handed the waistband directly to me without passing by the general.
"This is the badge for entering and exiting the fortress. With this, you can lead your team to enter and leave the fortress freely. When you came here, you also saw that there are various supply shops on the roadside where you can replenish supplies. After leaving the west gate of the fortress, it is another five minutes' walk.
Minutes away is the edge of the abyss gap. Killing powerful creatures in the military zone will give you additional military merit records. Return to the royal city and go to the kingdom's military aircraft to exchange for the corresponding military rank. There are as many powerful creatures as ants there. Please take risks.
Be careful if you do! Last time, a team of adventurers came here with a royal city pass, but they only appeared once and there was no news again!" General Luo Feng reminded.
"Thanks for the reminder, General, we will definitely pay attention!!"
...
After bidding farewell to the general, we left the barracks and returned to the town. As for the military achievements and other things the general mentioned just now, no one is interested in them for the time being. Anyway, we will have to wait until we leave the city before we have the chance. The top priority now is to collect them first.
I wonder if this uncultivated virgin land has any special products or other benefits. Without saying anything, I started to search for various functional NPCs separately.
I was in a group by myself and came to the grocery store first. The grocery store has the largest variety of items, and the probability of having something unique here is higher.
After entering the door, the NPC who received me was a gray-haired old woman. Seeing that there was business coming to the door, she said: "It's been a long time since any adventurers came here. Strange adventurers, what do you need?"
"Old lady, I want to see the list of items you have here!!"
"Here, it's all recorded here!!" The NPC handed me a yellowed magic form, and I started searching through ten lines at a glance.
All kinds of common low-level materials and utensils appeared in my eyes one by one. Finally, in the lower corner of the magic table, I discovered two unusual props.
[Mount Sealing Stone] A special item, a magic stone often used to tame horses and mounts in military camps. Use it on ownerless wild mounts that are lower than your own level. There is a chance of taming them and becoming your own mounts.
There is actually a mount sealing stone for sale here, which is incredible. Regarding the mount system, the website has never given any positive news. I only know that armor professions can give priority to riding mounts. Knights are at level 45, swordsmen at level 60, and leather armor.
Occupations require specific tasks, and commoners are not allowed to ride ordinary mounts. But what is in front of me now is a sealing stone used to seal mounts that has never appeared before.
Needless to say about soul stones, this thing is not popular yet. Sporadic bosses will explode this kind of thing, but it is far from meeting the strong market demand. Except for RMB warriors who are willing to spend money and the backbone figures of major forces, they have
Apart from pets, 99% of ordinary players have never seen what a soul stone looks like.
I forcibly suppressed my pounding heart and continued to search in the magic table. I discovered a few low-level herbs with unknown uses. I searched them all over again, and then I was sure that nothing had been missed.
"Mother-in-law, what are these curved canine teeth and sharp claws? I have gold coins, but I have never heard of these two things!!"
"Young man, the curved canine teeth are the teeth of an adult three-headed hell dog that appeared outside the west gate of the fortress, and the sharp claws are the barbed claws on the front paws of the three-headed dog!!!" the mother-in-law was very patient.
Answered my question.
"What are these things for?"
"This is a fortress. Any transactions must be taxed to General Luo Feng's material officer. These materials are used as tax to make various arrows and other weapons!!"
"Oh, I understand, our expedition team will leave the city later, and I will come back to you with the harvest!!"
"May the God of War bless you!!!"
...
After leaving the grocery store, I gathered towards the small square that I had agreed on. They hadn't come yet. I first bound my resurrection point to the town option, and then looked at the scroll to return to town. Fortunately, here it is.
It is a secondary town in the royal city that can add a return point. Without further ado, the fortress was added to the return location options.
After a lot of work, Cangqiong and the others also came back one after another, and everyone began to report their harvest.
Tudou: "I went to the blacksmith's shop. There is a relatively rare ore with a necrotic attribute here. As for white plate weapons and the like, although they are also available in different styles, their attributes are not very good and they are of little value. The ore is for sale, except for gold coins.
We also need hard animal bones!!”
Qianqiong: I went to the drugstore. The drugstore here sells a potion called Shadow Resistance Potion. After use, it can increase the dark attribute resistance by 10%. The additional price is three copies of the blood of the Blood-devouring Demon.
Xiao Ke: The armor shop I went to sold white shields around level 35 for the price of a complete three-headed hell dog fur.
An Ran, Xiaoyou: We went to the inn outside the entrance of the military camp, where you can exchange various materials for varying amounts of experience points.
Sure enough, you wouldn’t know if you didn’t check. After checking, there are indeed many unique specialties. I shared my findings with everyone. Everyone was very excited when I heard that the grocery store sells mount sealing stones and pet sealing stones.
, after learning that eighty claws were needed to redeem them, several of the gangsters couldn't wait to go out of the city to collect claws in exchange for sealing stones.
Tudou: "Boss, I want to ride a horse, and I want to change my mount to a sealing stone!!"
I curled my lips and said disdainfully: "You infantryman is not a knight. If you want to ride a horse, you need to be at least level 60 and level 2..."
Potato:"..."
Cang Qiong, An Ran: "Pets, pets! We want pets!!!"
You must have pets. Since they are not expensive, let’s try to get them all. Even if you don’t have the talent for evolution, you can just grab an ordinary one and use it first. At least five more pets can give you five more damage output points. Ordinary ones
Leveling up can also be much faster.
"Stop yelling, let's go, get some soul stones and catch some pets first!" I said.
"The boss is mighty!!!"
...
The extremely excited group of people walked towards the west gate of the fortress.
