Nie Yan remembered that Hilton Fortress experienced a siege by monsters. The NPCs here fought fiercely with the monsters for five days before the war ended. After that battle, there were many fewer NPCs in Hilton Fortress. When players began to enter the fortress
, Hilton Fortress is full of ruins. Players replaced the NPCs defending the city and became the main force fighting monsters here.
The NPCs here wear weird costumes and strange scales. Since there are a large number of underground monster attacks here every year, the NPCs make armor from the scales taken from the corpses of these monsters.
These scales vary in size, making them look a bit weird.
Nie Yan found some NPCs and found out that the whereabouts of high-ranking warlord Blake Spear were erratic. He would often go to underground caves to hunt monsters and would only come back after a long period of time.
"Excuse me, where should I go to find Mr. Blakespear?" Nie Yan asked a fur goods merchant setting up a stall.
"Respected demon hunter, great scholar, and great thief Mr. Nirvana, Mr. Blakespear returns to Hilton Fortress every six days. Every time he comes back, he brings back a large amount of trophies to sell to us merchants.
Buy consumables. There is still one day before he comes back, please wait patiently." The NPC fur merchant said respectfully. Nie Yan's title made the fur merchant a little frightened. In the entire Hilton Fortress, Nie Yan was considered a rare one.
Meet the big shot.
Nie Yan could only wait and walk around the Hilton Fortress.
He tried hard to recall all the information related to the Hilton Fortress in his previous life. He suddenly remembered that there was a secret store in the Hilton Fortress, where a large number of skins of various monsters were sold. Sometimes, you could even buy the skins of some rare legendary monsters.
, In addition, there are a large number of drawings needed for tailors to make clothes, and occasionally some good things will appear.
That secret shop sells a certain amount of monster skins and drawings every day. After being bought, it will not be refreshed repeatedly. In the past life, the big guild often sent people to stay here to grab items. If you haven't bought them for a long time, the items there will gradually fade away.
Accumulated. Before Nie Yan, no other player had ever been to that secret store. There must have been a lot of good stuff accumulated there.
In addition to the secret shop, Hilton Fortress also has a slave trading market, where slaves brought from various places are often sold. Slaves are different from mercenaries. To hire a mercenary, you have to pay a certain hiring fee every once in a while.
, if you do not pay for a period of time, you will have to pay liquidated damages. When the employment agreement expires, the mercenary will leave. As for slaves, once you purchase a slave, it means that he becomes your property.
The system setting is that only players after one turn can be qualified to buy slaves. Each player can only buy one slave. If you are the president of a fifth-level guild, you can buy three slaves. The president of a fifth-level guild or above
, the number of slaves that can be purchased is larger. Some special titles will also have different treatments.
Each slave has different talents and abilities. Some slaves are good at nothing, while others are masters in production or combat.
Nie Yan can take advantage of the fact that not many people have come to Hilton Fortress yet, and these two places have not been discovered by players, to find some good things.
If he finds a slave trading market, he can ask players who have changed jobs in the guild to buy one or two slaves.
As for the exact locations of these two places, Nie Yan had no idea. He asked some NPCs, but they all said they didn't know.
Nie Yan remembered that he had an acquaintance at Hilton Fortress, the doctor Blevins.
Not long after Nie Yan entered the game, he once searched for sperm for the doctor Blevins in Randuo Lake. At that time, he was still a low-level player. He went to find the doctor Blevins, and maybe he could find the exact details of those two places.
Location.
Nie Yan began to ask about doctor Blevins.
"Doctor Blevins, he serves in Hilton's army. The army of Hilton Fortress has been stationed in the south of the fortress." A short old man told Nie Yan the answer.
Nie Yan walked towards the south of the fortress while strolling around. It would take at least fifteen minutes to reach the south of Hilton Fortress.
Walking to an open square, there were no buildings around. Looking to the north, there was a volcano in the distant sky. Black smoke was billowing upwards, forming a dark cloud that shrouded the sky.
As Nie Yan was walking, he heard several NPCs around him talking quietly.
"Amphlite has become active again in the past two days. It is expected to erupt in five or six days. The last eruption was about twenty years ago." An old man said in a hoarse tone.
"The Amphlett volcano is very far away from here. It takes a long time to get there by horseback from Fort Hilton. Its eruption is like a huge fireworks to us." A young man
The soldier laughed loudly.
"In recent days, there have been two earthquakes in succession..." The old man was a little pessimistic.
Nie Yan smiled when he heard these words. Young people and old people always have different attitudes towards life.
This was just a small episode. There were always many NPCs talking on the street. Listening to their conversations, Nie Yan became familiar with some of the conditions of Hilton Fortress. What surprised him was that there were five high-level governors and thirty people in Hilton Fortress.
An ordinary governor, which is extremely rare in other parts of the Greenland Empire. There is only one high-level governor and two governors in the entire Carol City.
One can imagine the strength of the garrison at Fort Hilton.
"Dear demon hunter, great scholar, and great thief Mr. Niryan, do you need anything? We have high-quality sulfur from the Amphlett volcano here, and..." An NPC groceries
The businessman came up and said.
"Sorry, I don't need it." Nie Yan shook his head.
The grocer did not dare to pester Nie Yan, so he retreated.
Amphleet volcano, Amphleet volcano... Nie Yan murmured. He seemed to think of something, but he still couldn't catch it. His intuition told himself that he seemed to have missed something,
But I just can't remember.
Could it be that I'm being too preoccupied? Nie Yan smiled. There was no connection between the Amphlite volcano and him!
I don’t know how long the bustling Hilton Fortress can last, and I don’t know how long it will take before players can truly enter and enrich the fortress.
As Nie Yan walked on the streets of Hilton Fortress, he felt a sense of desolation and remoteness. He had witnessed the prosperity, glory and sorrow of this ancient fortress in his past and present lives.
"Here we sell the dark red gold produced by the Amphlett volcano. Dear sir, do you need it?" A short little boy, who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, was wearing shabby clothes, covered in mud and dust.
His eyes were black and shiny, very smart, and he was holding a piece of dark red metal in his hand.
"I don't need..." Nie Yan didn't know how many vendors he had rejected selling goods. He refused out of habit.
There was a hint of disappointment in the little boy's expectant eyes, and he was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait, is it dark red gold?" Nie Yan suddenly stopped the little boy nervously and asked, staring at the dark red gold in the little boy's hand. This piece of metal emits a deep dark red light. It is indeed dark red.
The gold was right, it was at least quality 3! He almost missed a good thing.
"Yes, dear sir, this is the dark red gold produced by the Amphlett volcano. I picked it up from the rock pit of the Amphlett volcano. An old man told me that it can be sold for two gold coins.
"The little boy said seriously. In his opinion, two gold coins are an incredible amount of wealth.
"Can you let me have a look?" Nie Yan asked, he smiled a little. A piece of dark red gold of quality 3 can be sold for at least one or two thousand gold coins at the current market price. It is an excellent tool for making shield warrior armor.
It is a good material that is very rare in the market and generally cannot be bought. The little boy actually said that it was only worth two gold coins. Nie Yan looked at the little boy's name and it was Karens.
"Okay." The little boy Karens handed the dark red gold to Nie Yan.
Nie Yan confirmed it and found that it was quality 3.
"Sir, are you willing to buy it?" the little boy Karens looked at Nie Yan pleadingly and asked.
"Yes." Nie Yan nodded. He discovered some details. The little boy Karens was skinny and a little malnourished. His hands were covered with black mud and there were some burn marks on his hands.
"That's great, dear sir, thank you." Karens said excitedly.
Seeing Karen's miserable look, Nie Yan's heart softened and he said, "This piece of dark red gold has more than two gold coins."
"Then how much is it worth?" Karens asked with a confused look in his eyes.
"It's worth a thousand gold coins. If you had a thousand gold coins, what would you do with it?"
Karen paused and said firmly: "I will use the money to rescue my companions."
Nie Yan placed a thousand gold coins on the transaction column and confirmed the transaction with Karens. He didn't understand why he was so stupid to buy this piece of dark red gold with a thousand gold coins. Perhaps under his indifferent appearance, Nie Yan
Yan still has a trace of innocence that has never been extinguished.
"Dear sir, thank you, and may the Holy Lord bless you." Karens knelt down to Nie Yan, fell to the ground, and touched his head to the ground. This is the most pious and solemn etiquette! Only in this way can he express his love for Nie Yan.
The gratitude in Lance’s heart.
Nie Yan was shocked by this solemn etiquette. Just as he was about to say something, Karens got up and ran towards the alley next to him, and quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.
Seeing Karens walking away, Nie Yan felt a sense of emotion in his heart. This emotion was actually for an NPC.
Nie Yan was about to move forward when he suddenly found that there was an additional status in his character attribute status column: Honesty.
He just told Karens that the dark red gold was worth a thousand gold coins and was rewarded with an honesty attribute by the system.
Nie Yan had three states before, namely justice, courage, and kindness. Now he has another state of honesty. What task has the mastermind arranged? Nie Yan is really confused, and he can only slowly solve this mystery.
