Xiao Zhi looked at Lance, who had never been so sweet in life or death, and began to think about how to save him.
It is probably impossible to confront the big octopus head-on. This kind of rough-skinned, thick-skinned and bulky existence probably needs a public mission for the whole continent if it wants to solve it. It is possible to gather the elites of various races.
Moreover, it is not necessarily successful.
Xiao Zhi looked at the big pink octopus that seemed to be humming happily, and couldn't help but change his mind. What happens if you don't get your hands on it? Although this octopus is very powerful, it does not seem to be bloodthirsty, and even has some unique hobbies. Can we start with its hobbies
Xiao Zhi took another look at the cute and lovely Lance, he was like a doll under the hands of the big octopus.
Can you make a new doll for the giant octopus
With Xiao Zhi, a human figure artist, the final product will definitely be more delicate than the one made by the big octopus with its thick tentacles. That's the style... Maybe it can't follow Xiao Zhi's original favorite, but must follow the big octopus's hobby, take the pink girly route, and give it a more refined, more gorgeous, and more girlish style.
As soon as he thought of it, Xiao Zhi took one last look at the helpless Lance and the cheerful big octopus, then turned and left.
·
Dolls need materials, but here is the deep sea, and there is no such thing as a trading house, and no one can deliver the materials even if you want other players to run errands to buy them.
For the fabric, the big octopus has already provided ideas, and seaweed can be used. Anyway, there are a lot of seaweed here, with various colors and textures, so it is not a problem.
For decoration, maybe you can use other seaweed, or shells, pearls, and even search these houses, maybe there are jewelry left by the original residents.
The tool can only follow the fate, it depends on luck, what you find is what.
Xiao Zhi took Alifa to search in the huge uninhabited city.
After a while, he found that there was something unusual about this city. Although there are many marine creatures nearby, all of them are small in size and docile in character, and all the huge, fierce and aggressive ones can't be seen. It's as if someone is screening the creatures who are eligible to enter the city.
A group of brightly colored small fish swam to Xiao Zhi and Alifa's side, probably never seen such a strange creature, and the city was safe, the small fish swam around them several times curiously.
One of the very small fish boldly stepped forward and secretly rubbed Alifa's hard head.
"Gu~" Alifa turned his head and looked at the little fish with empty eye sockets.
"Boom~" The little fish was not afraid, and spat a bubble at it.
Xiao Zhi continued to move forward, letting the school of fish behind him follow curiously.
The buildings in this city are arranged in a circle, one floor at a time, with a very clear structure, and the living locations of residents seem to be divided according to their status.
The dwellings on the edge look relatively simple, and the carvings on the stone pillars are all single lines, with rough craftsmanship, and some lines are crooked, probably the result of the owner's own work.
But a little further forward, the exquisiteness of the house is different. Not only the stone pillars at the entrance are made by special craftsmen, but also the style of the roof has changed, and there are a lot more furniture in the room. Even the stone materials used for construction can be seen to have fewer impurities and become whiter and more delicate.
Fortunately, the furniture here is made of stone, which can still be preserved after years.
Along the way, Xiao Zhi sorted through the materials, and found a lot of jewels. He couldn't help but wonder, what happened back then, so that the residents here didn't even take away these valuable jewels
At the same time, he also discovered another strange thing, there is no water here. Whether it is water cups, kettles, or buckets and tanks that are used in daily life, there are not even bathtubs and sinks.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help thinking: "Could it be that the original residents here didn't use water?"
No, it doesn't seem right.
Looking at the common wave patterns on the surrounding buildings and jewelry, the residents here should be in frequent contact with water, and they really like water.
So why does a group of people who like water not use water
Xiao Zhi looked down at the hem of his clothes fluttering in the water, and suddenly had an inspiration. Maybe it's not that they don't use water, but that they already live in water! Soaking in water all day, naturally there is no need to use other things to hold water.
He looked at the "skylights" on the roof of almost every house. Maybe these are not windows, but doors that allow the owner to swim directly into the house from a high place. After all, if you are swimming in the sea, you can adjust the height by yourself, and you don't have to stick to being close to the ground, so the door doesn't have to be opened near the ground, it is obviously more convenient to enter and exit from above.
This city is probably not a sunken land city, but was originally built in the ocean.
This is a city belonging to the Sea Clan!
Where did the original Sea Clan go? Why is such a huge city sleeping silently and namelessly in the deep sea? Xiao Zhi flipped through his memories, it seems that no matter before or now, no well-known city was built in the sea.
There is no answer for the time being, Xiao Zhi took Alifa and walked towards the center of the city. The closer to the center, the more status the people live in, and the more things in the house, just suitable for him to find materials for making dolls.
Xiao Zhi found some dyes that had expired for an unknown number of years.
These dyes are probably a special product here, and they are not soluble in water at all. After exploring for a while, he finally mastered the usage of these dyes, and decided that he could use them to paint the doll with make-up, so as not to make the pale face look scary.
Probably in the center of the city, a very large square appeared in front of it.
Each stone slab on the ground of the square has exquisite reliefs, each of which tells a story, and the surrounding stone pillars are also the thickest in the entire city, and the craftsmanship is also the most complicated. It looks like this is a very important place for the whole city, presumably the residents will hold some important events here
Xiao Zhi looked at the stone carvings on the ground, some were about heroes defeating sea monsters, some were about troops defeating invaders, and there were some allusions, but Xiao Zhi hadn't read these allusions, and couldn't understand the content.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhi saw a familiar figure appearing on one of the stone slabs. It was a person wearing a flowing robe, and a person with a fishtail and a trident in his hand. They folded their hands and held a round object, surrounded by other sea people with excited faces.
The clothes on the person on the left are somewhat similar to the traditional dresses that Xiao Zhi has seen on the Xiyue Clan, but they do not have the complicated tailoring and decorations of the Xiyue Clan.
The one on the right is also very familiar, isn't that the Yuan clan who chased him all the way? ! But the appearance of this Yuan Clan is very normal, even quite handsome, not as ferocious and frightening as the ones Xiao Zhi has seen.
Alifa saw the suspected figure of Yuan Clan, and pointed his claws at the stone slab angrily: "Goo!"
bad guy! Fierce!
Xiao Zhi stroked his chin and thought: "Could it be the ancestors of the Xiyue Clan and the Yuan Clan? Are they forming an alliance?"
This kind of photo of two people holding something together is really like a cooperation between two companies, or a ribbon-cutting scene for the opening.
After walking forward for a while, Xiao Zhi saw a high platform in the center of the square. On it was a large stone tablet with exquisite shape. The words on the stone tablet were strange but familiar. He tried to spell it out in common language, probably "" I don't know if the pronunciation of "Kanaxi" is correct.
Is this the name of the city? Or is it just a slogan
After a while.
Because of Xiao Zhi's actions in the city, his area exploration rate increased to 13%.
Xiao Zhi swept through the surrounding houses again, found a lot of materials, and even made a set of cutting and polishing tools. He found a nearby room with the largest table and the most complete preservation as a temporary studio, and he also moved a glowing shell for lighting.
Seeing that Xiao Zhi seemed to be doing strange activities, there were more small fish gathering around, the timid ones were watching outside the house, while the bold ones swam directly to Xiao Zhi's side and observed curiously.
For a moment, Xiao Zhi felt as if he had become a princess in an animated movie, the kind who would sing along with the little animals while working.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
What kind of weird association is this? Forget it, so be it.
Xiao Zhi started making dolls in this way.
Since it is for a big octopus, it is better to have a stronger quality. He directly chose white stone for construction. The stone is quite heavy, but it certainly doesn't matter to the big octopus.
The texture of these stones is very hard and requires special tools to be polished. The tools were found in an unfinished house.
It is time-consuming to polish the stone by hand. Perhaps it was because Xiao Zhi felt that it was very hard to polish by himself. Alifa jumped on the table and jumped up and down, pointing at the unprocessed material with his paw, expressing I mean I want to help.
Xiao Zhi demonstrated it casually, and didn't expect Alifa to learn it.
Probably because he finally found out that the clerk had a job that he could help with. Alifa studied very hard, and after a while, he was able to do the basic polishing work well.
"Cuckoo~" Alifa waved his little wings happily while holding the stone for polishing.
While Xiao Zhi was processing the material, he also did not forget to praise it, Alifa was instantly happier.
Xiao Zhi didn't polish the stone too finely. After all, with the size of a big octopus, the tall Lance is small and cute, and he probably can't notice more details. It can save money by processing a little less detail. time. As long as the exposed parts of the clothes are well processed.
Xiao Zhi also took out the Hotis in his backpack, and prepared to make hair for the doll later. The material of Hotis is soft, corrosion-resistant, and magic-resistant, and it is a good material for equipment.
But the reason why Xiao Zhi chose it is very simple, because this thing is pink, the big octopus must like it, everything is based on the needs of customers.
·
It takes time to make dolls, Xiao Zhi was thinking about the city while doing it.
Suddenly, he thought that there was a communication card from Teague in his backpack. Teague was from the Xiyue tribe, and he might know something about this city.
He glanced at his backpack. The communication card looked like a small light blue piece of paper. He wondered if there was a signal in this deep sea
Xiao Zhi decided to give it a try.
Xiao Zhi took out the communication card and said to Alifa: "Alifa, I want to contact a friend, can you keep it secret for me, and don't tell anyone else."
While polishing the stone, Alifa nodded ignorantly: "Gu~"
Alifa is very good, but Alifa doesn't say anything.
Xiao Zhi touched Alifa, and then activated the communication card. There was a burst of light blue light on the surface of the card, and the blue light was strong and weak, which attracted the surrounding fish to get closer curiously.
But this kind of flickering shows that the communication was not successful, probably because Xiao Zhi's current location is in the deep deep sea, even in the magic world, the signal is not so tenacious.
Xiao Zhi tried a few more times, and finally, this time the communication card lighted up and did not flicker again.
Soon, Teague's voice came from the card: "Mr. Seven?"
Xiao Zhi heard the noisy background on his side, accompanied by music, men and women talking and laughing, and the sound of footsteps coming and going, it seemed to be at a banquet.
This guy, who is he trying to deceive? Still doing some special work
Before Xiao Zhi could speak, a smiling female voice came out: "Tig~ want to play together tonight?"
Teague replied gently: "Your beauty is fascinating. I can't go to your appointment so casually. I didn't prepare a gift for you today. It's really rude to go to the appointment like this."
The woman wasn't angry, but her smile grew stronger: "Tigger's words of rejection are still so sweet, it doesn't make people angry at all, so I'll see you another day~"
Teague also put on a little smile: "It's my honor to receive Miss Fennel's mercy, and I look forward to meeting you next time."
Xiao Zhi who accidentally overheard the whole conversation: "..."
So skilled...
Did this guy really not go into the sea by himself
However, what Teague wants to do has nothing to do with Xiao Zhi.
After a brief greeting with Teague, he went straight to the topic of the call: "Teague, have you ever heard of a city called 'Karnaxi'? Maybe it's not actually called that, but it should be It is a city that once belonged to the Sea Clan."
After finishing speaking, he also described to Teague what the city he saw looked like by the way.
Teague's tone was a bit hesitant: "Kanaxi... it seems that there is no... Wait! Are you talking about Knass?! Mr. Qi, can you describe to me the appearance of the words you saw."
Xiao Zhi described it to him from memory.
Teague's tone became excited: "This is... !! Please wait a moment, I will talk to you in a quiet place."
Xiao Zhi heard hurried footsteps coming from Teague's side, the surrounding noise gradually faded away, and after a sound of door opening, Teague's side was completely quiet, as if leaving the originally lively scene.
Teague's tone became a little calmer: "Mr. Seven, I think the city you saw should be Knass City. This is a legendary holy city of the Sea Clan. It used to be the place where all the Sea Clan gathered. No Thinking that this kind of place, which has long been a legend, actually reappeared."
"The city of Kernas is protected by the blessings of the high priests. If a large sea monster comes over, it will be attacked by the city's defensive circle, so the city is very safe."
Xiao Zhi: "That's why I won't be attacked by sea monsters in the city?"
Teague said: "Yes, but I didn't expect this blessing to be effective after so long."
Xiao Zhi: "What happened to Kernas later? Why didn't you stay there any longer?"
Teague: "About a thousand years ago, there was a catastrophe under the sea, which changed the pattern of the whole world and became closer to what it is now. Kernas City was also severely damaged in that catastrophe. According to ancient books The record in the book is 'falling into the endless abyss', the residents of the Sea Race fled in a hurry, and there was no time to take anything with them."
"After that, when they wanted to return, they found that they couldn't find Kernas at all. And the seabed environment during that time was very harsh, which made it difficult for most sea people to survive, so some people proposed to leave the ocean and go to the sea at that time. Relatively stable life on land."
"But not everyone thinks so. Some of the Sea Clan feel that they should continue to search for Knass on the bottom of the sea, so the two sides have differences."
Xiao Zhi: "It is the Xiyue Clan who advocate leaving, and the one who stays...is it the Yuan Clan?"
Teague said: "Yes, in the end the Xiyue tribe and some other sea tribes chose to go ashore, and the sea tribe that went ashore gradually merged after thousands of years and became the current Xiyue tribe."
"Yuan Clan continued to wander on the bottom of the sea, and gradually became what they are now." Speaking of this, Teague felt a little emotional, "Actually, the Yuan Clan in the past was different from the present. They were brave, determined, and the strongest fighters of the Sea Clan. It’s not that crazy people these days don’t know what happened to them during this time to become like this.”
Xiao Zhi asked: "Don't the Xiyue Clan know about it?"
Teague sighed: "I don't know... Once the Xiyue Clan wanted to send people to investigate the situation, but they were attacked by the Yuan Clan crazily. They seemed to have lost their minds, attacking everyone they saw, even the The same goes for the Xiyue Clan, who are also members of the Sea Clan."
There was some suspicion in Xiao Zhi's tone: "Are you sure it wasn't the Xiyue Clan who left the sea that year and cheated the Yuan Clan?"
Teague: "..."
Although there is no such record in ancient books, why does this statement sound so reliable? He couldn't help but doubt his ancestors! !
Teague pondered for a long time before opening his mouth: "I don't think this is the case. The environment of Kernas is relatively closed, and the structure of residents is simple. At that time, the Hai Clan was actually quite simple. It is said that the Xiyue Clan who just landed because of their beauty and special They were caught and trafficked on a large scale on the mainland, and their population was cut in half within ten years of coming ashore."
"Afterwards, the rest of the Xiyue tribe gradually took root on the land with difficulty, and found out a way of survival that suits them. Later, they established the Dolly Alliance and officially became a member of the Dazemen sub-continent."
Xiao Zhi fell silent, he didn't expect the treacherous Xiyue clan to have such a story.
They landed on land with hope for the future, but they were greeted with the same treatment as goods. What a terrible experience it must be to lose half of the population in ten years, and it will polish the original pure nation into what it is now.
Teague doesn't care much about this past: "Anyway, no one in the mainland dares to sell the Xiyue clan anymore. As long as someone dares to do this, both the seller and the buyer will be surrounded and suppressed by the entire Dolly Alliance at any cost, and they will not die. endlessly."
"This is very good." Xiao Zhi said sincerely.
Teague said with a smile: "I think so too."
Teague brought the topic back: "Can you tell me how you arrived at Knass? I think many Xiyue people will miss it."
Xiao Zhi briefly described the ups and downs of his arrival process, of course concealing the content related to Lance and Alifa, and then concluded: "Right now, I still don't know how to use the normal way to leave."
Teague: "..."
He felt that if he used this method, he probably wouldn't be able to reach Knass alive. The difference might just be that in the end, he would become a snack for a certain sea monster, or be poked into a sieve by his compatriots from the Yuan Clan. .
He said sincerely: "Mr. Qi, are you really human?"
Xiao Zhi had a cheeky face: "Probably this is the extraordinary talent."
Teague said, "Are you going to explore Kerners City now?"
Xiao Zhi said, "Yes."
Teague asked: "Have you found the Earth Spirit Crystal?"
Xiao Zhi was taken aback for a moment: "Earth spirit crystal?"
Teague's tone was a little surprised: "Did you start exploring the map without knowing the Earth Spirit Crystal?"
Xiao Zhi: "Isn't this an accident..."
Teague began to explain to Xiao Zhi: "When an area is explored to a certain extent, the Earth Spirit Crystal will appear near the explorer, and then you can name the area by touching the crystal. But the Earth Spirit Crystal appears The conditions are different, some people say they want to explore a wide enough area, some say they want to help the local aborigines, and some say they have restored important buildings.”
Xiao Zhi understood that what Teague was talking about was probably the exploration speed.
The NPCs on the mainland can't see the exploration speed, so they only feel that it was triggered by an accident, but the players are different, they can clearly know their own exploration speed. However, Teague's words made Xiao Zhi understand several ways to increase the speed of exploration, and he can try it later.
Xiao Zhi thanked Teague: "Thank you."
Of course, Teague didn't say this casually. Soon, his purpose came: "It's like this, Mr. Seven..."
When Xiao Zhi heard this tone, he knew that this guy must have hidden tricks, so he waited intently.
Teague considered the sentence: "Since you plan to explore a new area, and this area is underwater, can you slow down the speed of exploration a little?"
Xiao Zhi: "What do you want to do?"
Teague's tone was full of longing: "You think, the new area has been explored, and there must be many people on the mainland who want to visit it, and Knass is in the sea. This means-all underwater potions There will be a sales peak!"
"Over the years, the number of potions in circulation on the market has been very stable. I plan to stock up on them from now on, such as water-avoiding potions, super-speed potions, fortune potions, invisibility scrolls, and so on. Healing potions can also be stocked up by the way. , Wait until the new area is fully opened and the medicines on the market are in short supply before selling them."
"Of course, at that time, it is normal for the price to increase with market fluctuations. You can rest assured that the price I set will definitely not violate the Dolly Alliance regulations."
Xiao Zhi: "..."
I didn't expect you, a liar, to be a part-time profiteer. Not only have you figured out the theory that the relationship between supply and demand determines prices, but you have also figured out the legal bottom line.
As expected of the Xiyue Clan.
Teague added: "I will give you a 30% commission on all profits, and I will check my account books for you, and I will never cheat in it. Can you promise to only tell me this news?"
Teague gave the commission very readily. After all, information is wealth. Xiao Zhi, who has the exclusive information, is the one who takes the initiative in this transaction. To join forces with Teague.
Xiao Zhi said without hesitation: "Deal."
Who doesn't want the happiness of lying down and making money
He thought about his progress in making the puppet, and the current exploration speed: "At least three days is no problem."
Teague's voice came with a smile: "Happy cooperation."
The two, working hand in hand, began to prepare to jointly harvest leeks across the continent.
The author has something to say: Xiao Zhi: I am so happy to make money lying down!
A Sen: Xiaoqi wants to make money lying down, so she can come to my bed.
Xiao Zhi: Do you have a bed in your house
Arsen: ...
