Listening to the reply from the guard at the door of the conference hall, Liu Yifei couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Before, he was still thinking about whether he would agree to borrow land from Emoni when he suddenly asked her.[]
Although Liu Yifei and Emoni have a good personal relationship, and Liu Yifei is backed by King Toradre and a holy city, this does not necessarily guarantee that Emoni will buy his account.
In the world of Invincible Heroes OL, territory is particularly important to lords! No matter how much output that piece of land can produce, everything within the jurisdiction marks the dignity of its owner!
Any foreign lord who casually passes by the local lord's land will be questioned or even attacked, not to mention the possibility of Liu Yifei's "borrowing land"~
Anyway, Liu Yifei was already prepared to be shut out before he opened his mouth...
Who would have thought that just when he asked the guards to help him go in and report, the guards actually replied, "The lord is not here"!
Liu Yifei didn't react for a moment. He thought that Emoni was not in the meeting hall and was working somewhere else. He wanted to ask where Lord Emoni was, but he didn't know that the other party told Liu Yifei that Emoni was not in the City of Misery.
!
The lord is out?
For a player leader named Liu Yifei, running around is normal, but this kind of thing doesn't seem to happen often in NPCs, right?
Where could she go...
Liu Yifei frowned and thought for a moment, then decided to go find another person to ask and give it a try.
"Miss" Nettle, the chief of the Sorcerer's Guild in the City of Misery, and Liu Yifei are old acquaintances. It was from her that Liu Yifei received the task of investigating the hydra in the Sighing Mountains. Later, Toradre and Elmo even
Ni and Nitel worked together to help Liu Yifei enchant to improve the level of some of Liu Yifei's equipment.
It was also because Nitel had helped Liu Yifei a lot, and Liu Yifei himself was a member of the ghost wizards, so Liu Yifei would go here later when he was free, helping Nitel complete some small tasks.
This is a way to repay his past kindness.
Emoni is not here today, and the only person who has some friendship with Liu Yifei in the entire City of Misery is the chief of the Wizards Guild.
After finding the other party, Liu Yifei finally found out the whereabouts of Emoni. It turned out that the Lord of the City had actually gone out to the outside world!
"What? Going to the Outland? This... can you also go to the Outland now?"
Liu Yifei couldn't help being surprised!
He had known about the existence of the Outland a long time ago, but Liu Yifei had never been there before. The only Outland creature he had ever seen was the legendary demon who was unfortunately sealed in the copy of the Elf Warrior Cemetery.
.
Thinking of that big devil, Liu Yifei still can't help but want to laugh. It was so unlucky to meet Liu Yifei!
If anyone else enters that dungeon, it doesn't matter whether the opponent can survive to the depths of the final dungeon. The big demon itself is definitely not in danger. After all, there is a protective barrier around it to isolate the two sides.
It's just that the big devil probably never expected that Liu Yifei actually had the skull of a mythical hero on his body! And it was also the skull of Sandru, the super strong man who was proficient in magic!
So the unlucky guy who never expected to die really died. Before he died, he gave Liu Yifei a very targeted legendary waist chain. Unfortunately, Liu Yifei has not been able to use it yet...
Apart from that, Liu Yifei had always only heard of the name of "Outland" but never heard of it before. He had never heard of any strong man on the world map, or even a person at the level of a city lord, venturing into the outer world.
The Outer World is not an unclaimed land. Just like the world map, it also has its own lords from various forces.
NPC lords are all heroes on the world map, but the situation is different after arriving in the outer lands. Not only are they forced back to their original shape, but they also have to abide by local rules!
If you are not careful, you may die outside!
So in Liu Yifei's opinion, there is absolutely no need to go on adventures in foreign lands~
Of course, if there is a chance of getting king-level or above equipment there, Liu Yifei wouldn't mind wandering there for a while. At least for now, he is still willing to risk his life for a piece of legendary equipment.
....
"How long will it take Lord Emoni to go?" This has become the question that Liu Yifei is most concerned about right now.
"If we follow the previous rules, this cycle should range from three days to one week." Nitel thought for a moment and replied.
"Oh, it took so long? Haha... Then what if Lord Emoni is away for such a long time, what if something happens in the territory? Is there no one who can handle it for me?" Liu Yifei was dumbfounded~
If we had to wait three to five to seven days...the old lizardmen and their new home would have been built long ago! Do they still need to build two strongholds?
"There is no need to worry about this. Before leaving, Lord Aimoni handed over part of the local management authority to me. Does Lord Liuyun have anything important to discuss with Lord Aimoni? If the matter is not too serious, then it is.
You can tell me about it."
Hearing what the other party said, Liu Yifei couldn't help but be stunned.
Hey~
This Emoni is really very courageous. She actually delegated administrative power to others when she was not at home... It seems that the relationship between Emoni and Netelle is not simple?
What special relationship can there be between two undead women? Were they sisters in life?
Liu Yifei thought a little bit naughtily...
But now that Nittel had spoken, Liu Yifei had nothing to be pretentious about, and immediately discussed with Nittel that he wanted to borrow a useless swamp as a base for his subordinates.
Unfortunately, it seems that the importance of this matter exceeds Liu Yifei's expectation.
As soon as Liu Yifei said his plan, Nettle had a strange expression on his face and said to Liu Yifei apologetically: "Lord Liuyun, I'm so sorry, it turns out you came here for this matter...
..
I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle~
First of all, this matter is of great importance. My authority is not enough to give an answer for Lord Emoni. I have to wait for her to come back to make a specific decision. Another point is... the previous swamp is in the territory.
It may indeed be of no use within the jurisdiction, but I guess it may be of some use after Lord Emoni comes back, so I’m afraid even Lord Emoni won’t be able to agree to your proposal.”
"Ah? She will be useful after she comes back? How do you say this?" Liu Yifei was stunned.
"This... forgive me for the inconvenience of saying more, but I can tell you in a vague way that Lord Emoni's trip to the outer lands this time is not purely adventurous. She has a very clear goal. It seems...
...to bring something back..."
Bring something back? What could it be...
Until Liu Yifei came out of Netelle's "office", he was still struggling with this issue.
For Liu Yifei now, it is a great pleasure to find out the privacy or secrets of powerful NPCs through various channels! And this kind of pleasure is not only spiritual~
According to Liu Yifei's experience, in the process of digging for secrets, players can easily master some important secrets. Even after learning more about past secrets, specific NPCs will assign tasks to players.
This kind of mission is not necessarily the kind of low-end boring mission released by the system, like going to a certain place to kill as many monsters as possible. It is often accompanied by a long or difficult adventure, but the rewards must be rich enough.
As a lord, Emoni, if it is wealth, equipment, etc... naturally, if it is of sufficient weight, it can also attract her to the outside world.
But do wealth equipment and other items require land?
There is only one possibility left, and that is that Emoni wants to bring some "soldiers" back from the outer lands!
This is incredible~
Liu Yifei also knows that NPC lords can obtain a small number of elite troops by establishing diplomatic relations with powerful lords in the outer world and selling a large amount of resources, but this kind of transaction is expensive, and even top-level NPCs at the king level will not do it often.
Do this kind of thing.
Is Emoni planning to "capture soldiers" on her own?
This is somewhat interesting...
Liu Yifei had already paid attention to this matter and decided to come over from time to time. He wanted to see what extraordinary troops Emoni could bring back.
The matter of borrowing land to build a concession failed, so Liu Yifei had to go back to see the old lizard man with a piece of bad news. However, it was obvious that the old lizard man did not take this matter too seriously. In his opinion, as long as the living environment is stable, the number of ethnic groups will increase sooner or later.
It can all be improved, so there's nothing to worry about. It's best to have a suitable habitat, but if not, you can make do here.
Although relocation seemed hopeless, Liu Yifei still had great ideas about the lizard man spear throwers in the swamp, so he made an appointment with the old lizard man to meet him in the Plague City tomorrow morning. He would be responsible for taking the old lizard man there to have a look and try.
Can you persuade the other party to follow
They merged into a larger tribe together. In addition, Liu Yifei also wanted to see how the old lizard man, the "beast spirit envoy", tamed the beasts. In Liu Yifei's opinion, the six-legged flying lion and the cave spider were both suitable for riding.
And a relatively valuable monster.
After talking to the old lizard man, Liu Yifei's mission for today was basically completed. He would have to go back and discuss matters related to internal affairs resources with Lone Hunter Baby later.
There is something rather annoying to say.
That is, what the old lizard man and his tribe are building is a wild biological community. This is a bit like an unofficial stronghold of intelligent creatures that is not recognized by the system. It is just like the dwarf village, and where Liu Yifei and Xue Lan were deep underground.
The concept of the "Tauren Village" I accidentally visited was very similar.
The various rules of the system city cannot affect them, but they are not protected by the system. If they encounter savage players, they can massacre their villages, and once they die in large areas, they cannot be refreshed and resurrected, just like
All NPCs with names are dead.
However, such "unofficial villages" also have two advantages.
First, all the life forms born are more intelligent than the junior NPCs who appear as soldiers in the system city. They are basically the lowest level of intelligence. In this way, each individual is not only stronger, but also
It can master various crafting abilities, and apart from equipment and basic templates, it is no worse than players.
Second, the growth rate of an ethnic group is affected by the population base. The larger the ethnic group is, the more people there are, and the more new ethnic groups will be born, like a snowball.
Of course, if Liu Yifei wanted to, he could completely annex the other party and make him a mercenary-like existence under his command, but he also had to solve two problems.
1. Commission.
As mercenaries, other tribesmen have to charge the minimum commission every day. The price is not very high, but the old lizard man and his daughter must have been recruited as "subordinates" by Liu Yifei as wandering heroes, so the cost will be high~
So far, Liu Yifei has raised three powerful heroes: Milan Kenos, Misha, and Gregory. The monthly salary is amazing. If he hires some more heroes from the lizard people and dwarves,
, based on the current economic strength of Plague City, he is basically about to file for bankruptcy~
2. Territory type.
It's still the same problem. Even if Liu Yifei builds a village, he can't build a stronghold that fits the style of the swamp people. It will only waste this land and force the old lizard man to find another place to live.
So unless Liu Yifei can find "craftsmen" who can build a Marsh style village, he will have no choice but to accept this inconvenient method.
If you can't build a system village, you can't upgrade it to a town, and you can't set up a teleport point. If you travel frequently, it's really not an ordinary trouble.
If it really doesn't work, we can only build a small town nearby in the future. At least the transportation problem must be solved first~
Liu Yifei thought as he flew back.
After returning to the Plague City, Liu Yifei originally wanted to ask for information on resources as soon as possible, but Xue Lan and Lone Hunting Baby still didn't have a complete grasp of it after sorting it out for a long time. It seems that the amount of information in this area is not as large as usual.
We still have to wait until tomorrow for the results.
As a result, Liu Yifei suddenly discovered a very serious problem!
That is because I seem to have nothing to do right now...
For a long time, Liu Yifei has been accustomed to the fulfilling "continuous adventure" style of gaming with clear goals every day.
From discovering Inheim's resurrection, to escaping from the dungeon, to switching to the elves, to fighting in the ring, and finally to the humans.
Except for Liu Yifei who concentrated on leveling up for a while before the arena match, it seems that he has not had the kind of "idle days" of doing small tasks and forming a team to kill ordinary monsters for a long time, so that now he is allowed to
He seemed to feel a little awkward doing those things~
"Dagger, what are you doing?"
Liu Yifei, unable to think of a solution, decided to seek help from a young assassin.
"Ah? Me? Brother Yun, is there anything wrong? I'm leveling up."
"Leveling? Take me with you. Where are you?" Liu Yifei asked subconsciously.
"Ah? Taking you? Brother Yun, are you kidding me? I'm only level 2, sixty-three, and you're already seventy-eight. Who among us will take whom?" the little assassin asked in a broken voice.
"Yeah, I just haven't gotten used to it, and I can't remember it... Then where are you? Do you know of any place around that is suitable for level 80 people to practice?"
"Oh halo~ I'm here at the undead knight in the human-ghost battlefield. The black knight is too hard, and they're tall and big, so it's hard to fight. I can't touch their vital points. I'm beating the bone horse knight now, but it's pretty good.
I'm tired and ready to go back and continue killing corpse witches.
Brother Yun, can't you find a place to level up?
That's right~
Including those at the first level, there are not many people who have been promoted to level 70 or above. It seems that I have never heard of any suitable upgrade points...
Otherwise, if you really don’t have anywhere to go, how about we go to the Dragon Bone Cemetery at the back together?
The end of the human-ghost battlefield is the Dragon Bone Cemetery. After Boss Balseid woke up and left, he seems to have never heard of anything going on there. I guess no one among the players dares to go there. The bone dragon base there is
They are all above level 75, and those at level 70 are rare. They are too big and are indeed not suitable for players at this stage. How about we go there and try?"
After hearing what the little assassin said, Liu Yifei finally remembered that there was such a thing as a small battlefield between humans and ghosts.
It has indeed been too long since he bid farewell to the way ordinary players play the game. It has been so long that he even forgot about this small battlefield that was "developed by him".
Just think about it, it’s all memories!
At that time, I had arrived on time with Xingzhi to form a team, and I had been confused for a long time about the components of a mercenary "sacred object" I accidentally picked up on the roadside, and almost threw away the skull.
Now that I think about it, life was really comfortable back then...
I don’t know what that guy is doing right now? Well, I can ask Tower Shield next time.
With this in mind, Liu Yifei went directly from the teleportation array in Plague City to the small human-ghost battlefield.
What Liu Yifei didn't expect was that the gathering point of the ghost players in the small battlefield of humans and ghosts actually retreated and retreated, and they were forced to the land of corpse witches!
Liu Yifei still remembers that the ghost player gathering point was set up at the mouth of this canyon at the beginning! Later, the human players concentrated their fire and attacked, squeezing the battle line back little by little, occupying the territory of the skeletons and corpses, forcing the ghosts to
The gathering point of tribal players has moved to the territory of the undead.
Later, they retreated again and stopped when they reached the vampire's territory, where the two sides were at loggerheads for a long time.
Why have you withdrawn now?
If we continue to retreat, the ghost players will soon be unable to defend this upgrade place, right?
"What do so many players do for a living? Even though both sides have equal conditions, why can't you beat them..." Liu Yifei asked the vampire servant to take him flying back, while he couldn't help but frown and complain.
In fact, he didn't know that the reason why the situation of the ghost camp was so bad and the front line was repeatedly lost had something to do with him...
