The four northwest towns, from south to north, are Rye Town, Huishi Town, Taojin Town and Longhou Town.
Rye Town is the only place in this area that has a large area of fertile soil that is not polluted by negative energy. Agriculture here is developed, and all the high-end agricultural products in the four towns are produced here.
There are many mid- to low-end gem mines near Pyroxene Town, and the mines occasionally produce some rare and precious gems. It is the easiest place among the four towns to make a fortune overnight, and it also has the largest concentration of adventurers and criminals. Or to put it another way, this is almost the core of the four northwest towns.
There are gold veins near the gold rush town. Although the quality is very low and the output is not large, the charm of yellow gold is hard to resist. A large number of people who wanted to get rich gathered here. Although most of them were actually poor, they made the town prosperous. But in fact, the main output of the gold mining town is copper and iron ore.
Located at the northernmost end of the four towns is Longhou Town. This town is located at the exit of a rather narrow mountain road. Going along the mountain road, it is a relatively less barren area in the barren mountains. It is rich in various kinds of products from goblins to dragons. Monster-like creature. Therefore, the main output of this town is materials from various monsters. As for how many skeletons of dead monsters are buried behind these materials, who cares
Originally, according to the plan, Gerald—or Sui Xiong—was going to Longroar Town, to the Dragon Cave deep in the mountains, and to the evil dragon "Ultimate" who lived here and had been causing trouble to the residents for more than fifty years. "Cold Tyrant" conducted a cordial and friendly negotiation, asked him to move, and at the same time received a bonus of 5,000 gold coins for this successful negotiation. But now, they have more important things to do.
Treasure hunt.
"On one side is to drive away the evil dragon, and on the other side is to search for treasures. Either one is very interesting and full of the feeling of a classic European role-playing game." Sui Xiong said happily, "The only problem is which one is the main mission. ? And... is there a time limit for the mission system of this game? "
He is not worried about "mission failure". After more than ten days of adjustments, he has completed the adjustment of the jellyfish body. Now the body is nearby, ready to unleash maximum power at any time.
When he goes all out, he is fearless!
The new form of Sui Xiong's physical body is like a large translucent balloon. There are many powerful tentacles hanging down from the body that is huge enough to build a village on the top. Dozens of sets of spiral blades are distributed throughout the body, which can provide power to travel in all directions. Densely packed magic runes are spread all over the body, making this giant The body can easily float in the air and change color at any time, creating an invisible effect.
For example, at this moment, Gerald was working in the Adventure Guild in Gold Rush Town, while Sui Xiong's body, which was so huge that it could flatten the entire Gold Rush Town if it fell, was floating in the air two to three hundred meters above the ground, squinting his eyes to enjoy. With the gentle breeze and warm sunshine, you can absorb the endless magic power from the air and sunshine, adding to the improvement of your strength.
But in the gold rush town, not even a single resident could see the big monster in the sky.
"If you want to be a high-level player, you must level up every day without slacking off. Even if you can't find a suitable monster for the time being, you must at least insist on hanging up. It should be noted that if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat. Even if you were once a master, you will not level up for a while. If you do, people will catch up, or even be left far behind. Just like someone who writes online novels, after taking a year off, he will find that his popularity has dropped to an appalling level, and his collections and clicks are no longer the same as before. It’s less than a fraction of the price. It’s a lesson learned from the mistakes made before!”
In the cold current that could freeze a mortal to death, the huge floating jellyfish yawned silently and fell into a drowsy state.
He wasn't worried about Gerald being in danger, not to mention that the big guy seemed to be quite capable of fighting. Even if he encountered a situation that Gerald couldn't deal with, his soul clone left in the bone bracelet could take action. .
"Dear sir, this is the reward for the mission of 'Destroying the Orc Wolf Riding Group'." The half-elf waitress of the Adventure Guild handed over a piece of metal that shone with magic light in both hands, her face full of respect.
Being able to single-handedly defeat the bandit group that has been ravaging the four towns for many years, such a strong man is certainly worthy of respect. If it weren't for the huge difference in their physiques, she would even want to seduce this young strong man. Even if she couldn't get a long-term meal ticket, Chunfeng once had a dark knot in her bead and gave birth to an offspring with giant blood. A very beneficial thing!
In this world, bloodline inheritance is a very common thing. The descendants of the strong will definitely have a higher starting point than the descendants of ordinary people. As long as they work hard enough and add some luck, and pass it on from generation to generation, they can become a family force that is looked up to.
Among the four northwest towns, the most important one is such a family. Although they usually hide in the dark and do not want to show their faces easily to avoid becoming the target of public criticism, all major organizations respect them. Not only do they have to discuss important matters with them, but sometimes when they encounter some benefits that are so great that they dare not monopolize them, they must discuss them with everyone. In the case of profit sharing, they will be the first to be attracted.
The young waitress naturally does not expect to be the founder of such a big family, but this does not prevent her from daydreaming a little.
Gerald took the nameplate engraved with magic runes. After a short inspection, he confirmed that the information was correct. He could use this nameplate to go to the temple of the God of Commerce to receive two thousand gold coins. He couldn't help but smile.
Although he already has a huge sum of money, how can he not feel happy when he has such a large amount of money in his account easily
"I have to issue a task to recruit two people." He said, "One is a thief, who requires expertise in traps, and does not believe in the gods of the night; the other is a priest, who requires expertise in healing and faith. Same as above.”
The waitress rolled her eyes and suddenly understood something. She smiled and asked: "Are you looking for a treasure hunting companion? Why not find an experienced mage?"
"As for the mage, we have one here." Gerald pointed to Palin who was sitting not far away reading a book. "Although he is not old, he is quite reliable."
The waitress looked at Palin carefully and shook her head slightly. She has worked in the Adventure Guild for several years and has already honed her unusual vision. This young dwarf mage may be talented and hardworking, but he obviously doesn't have much strength.
Mages are divided into two categories, academic and practical. The advantage of the former is that he knows many spells and techniques, and is said to be able to defeat all enemies if he is fully prepared. The latter specializes in the practical application of magic, and is said to be able to kill several academic wizards instantly in terms of combat effectiveness. And this is not a boast. In some extreme emergencies, a dozen academic mages may not be able to defeat a single combat wizard. . Both have their own strengths and weaknesses, and there is no necessary distinction between them.
There is no high or low mage type, but there is a gap between spell casters. It was obvious at a glance that the young dwarf mage was inexperienced and had very limited reserves. Even if he is not a complete rookie, at least he is still far away from the title of "Old Jianghu" or "Battle Mage".
It is unrealistic to expect such a young man to help at critical moments!
"To be honest, I think you should find another spell caster." She whispered, "Just be prepared. And you can also let the young mage learn more useful experiences from the seniors, and you won't suffer any loss. .”
Gerard thought for a moment and accepted the suggestion.
"Then please wait a moment. I will sort out the information for you and give you a list of qualified personnel."
"No need to go to so much trouble." A voice with a forced smile came, but an old man wearing light leather armor and a weathered face came over, "Isn't it just treasure hunting? This big guy, that little mage, Plus me, three people are enough.”
Gerald was stunned and turned around to look, feeling that this man was a bit too old and couldn't help but doubt his strength. The waitress was startled and quickly lowered her head to avoid being seen in her surprised expression.
But in fact, her expression had already been clearly seen by Sui Xiong's soul perception.
“Gerald, I’m afraid this old man is not an ordinary person, so be careful.”
"I obey your Majesty!"
Looking at Gerald's scrutinizing eyes, the old man looked very calm and showed no signs of panic: "My name is Renn, 'Kuaishou' Renn. This nickname must be enough to prove my strength. In these four towns, you will definitely You can't find a better thief than me."
Gerald frowned: "Although the nickname 'Kuaishou' is powerful, it does not refer to traps and traps. Are you a goldfinger (pickpocket)? What I want is an expert in traps and traps."
This world is not a game, and of course there are no levels. The strength and reputation of adventurers are often judged by their nicknames.
The nicknames are not chosen by oneself. The guild selects some of the adventurers based on their past experiences and then lets them choose them themselves. These nicknames are divided into several levels, and experienced adventurers can tell each other's strengths and weaknesses just from their nicknames.
The lowest adventurers have no nicknames. Just like Palin at the moment, they are just starting out. They have neither awesome strength nor convincing achievements. They are pure rookies.
After passing the rookie stage, adventurers will receive the lowest level nickname. These nicknames are based on the characteristics of their appearance or equipment. For example, "Bald" Nien was like this back then. It not only means that the adventurer has become famous and can be regarded as the number one person, but it also means that he has no outstanding achievements and is just a familiar face.
A higher level title is marked by a convincing performance. The captain of Gerald's adventure team was nicknamed "Shooting Tiger" because he once killed a tiger with a bow and arrow alone, thus proving his strength. Similar ones include "Chasing the Wolf", "Beheading the Bear", etc., which are all proof of the achievements.
Going further up, it is a summary of the adventurer's specialties. An adventurer with such a nickname is already outstanding in some aspects and can be regarded as the best among his peers. For example, if someone is called "Quick Knife", his knife must be very fast. Ordinary rookies may only be able to see a flash of the knife and their head has been chopped off. And the one named "Scud" must be running very fast. It is almost impossible to escape his pursuit.
This is the case for the old man nicknamed "Kuaishou". His nickname proves that he has a pair of very flexible and quick hands and is a first-class pickpocket. However, what Gerald needs is someone who can help him see through the traps and crack the mechanisms. No matter how powerful the pickpocket is, he can't help.
Faced with Gerald's question, Renn raised his eyebrows with a look of pride on his face: "Young man, it seems that you know little about the situation in our four towns! The reason why I am called 'Kuaishou' is not because I I am only good at stealing things, but it’s because there is no other person in the four towns who has faster and more dexterous hands than me, whether it’s stealing things, dismantling traps, or... fighting.”
As he said this, there was a flash of cold light, and six or seven daggers were already stuck on the ground beside them. Not to mention the mediocre waitress, even Gerald himself couldn't see clearly what he did.
