After a while, Ortus's emotions were almost vented, and he finally calmed down. He turned around, looked at Ye Ci who was standing aside, and took a deep breath: "Elf, are you interested in listening to a story that is not very pleasant?"
"Of course, Mr. Ortus, if you are willing to tell, I am willing to be the most qualified listener." Ye Ci saluted again, she did not choose to skip the conversation, because she knew that in such an epic task , the stories told by npc generally have very important clues, and these clues are not only hidden in the language, but also sometimes hidden in the tone and actions of the npc, if skipped, it is likely to be skipped Some subtle clues, which will have a very large impact on the completion rate and degree of completion of the task, and more importantly, will also have a very large impact on the final reward.
Obviously, Ye Ci's answer made Ortus very satisfied, he walked up and down in front of Ye Ci again, but this time his speed slowed down a lot, and his two too long hands were behind his back. , that look is a little old-fashioned.
Ye Ci stood quietly on the side, she was actually a very patient person, especially when encountering such epic tasks, her patience was often longer than the average person.
After walking for a while, Ortus jumped on a piece of wood that had been broken, and then sat down. He looked at the distant sky, where a bright moon was in the sky, but the bright light could not illuminate this place. A piece of black earth, only a piece of silver that looks very desolate hangs in the sky.
Ye Ci just checked the map, this is the fragrant wilderness of the western continent. The monster distribution here is mostly between 50 and 60, though. Most of the monsters are mainly non-active attack monsters, so there are still many players who team up and level up here. And Ye Ci and the others stopped here, which is actually a very dangerous thing. If they are discovered by players in the Western Continent, the things they will face are not just simple things like massacres and pursuits.
It's just, even if it's dangerous here, Ortus chose to release the mission here, which is something Ye Ci can't change.
. Ortus is a goblin, a neutral race no matter which continent they are in. Therefore, he will not be attacked by the player, and only himself is left.
However, for Ye Ci, it is not difficult for players who hide and avoid other hostile forces to search. Therefore, even if Ye Ci is standing quietly in front of Ortus, she is still listening in all directions. As long as there is a slight disturbance, she will immediately take corresponding measures, and she will never let the land she just set foot on the western continent be damaged here.
Ortus looked at Ye Ci, who was standing quietly on the side, she was respectful and quiet. This makes Ortus very satisfied. The goblin is a highly intelligent and very proud creature, before the continent was divided. They deal with various races, but goblins don't like these races. In the eyes of goblins, the most noble race in the world deserves to be the goblins themselves, while other races are either too stupid or too stupid, There is simply no ability to compare with them.
As for Ortus, he is more of a faithful bloodline, and he despises ordinary races more than ordinary goblins. This is true of any race, but he rarely shows it. He didn't really like the elf in front of him now, but it was compared to the average person. This elf seems to be very polite, without much ambition and ambition. He didn't try to get anything from him, which made Ortus more satisfied, so he even spoke to her gently.
"A long, long time ago, in fact, I don't know how long ago. You know, our goblins generally have a very long lifespan, so for us, time is actually a matter of whether we remember it or not. It doesn't matter. At that time, the goblins didn't live underground or in secret places, they lived in a place called Vosok. It was full of all the energy that the goblins needed, ores, energy gems, various There are so many precious black oils. You must think that since you have these things, it must be a smoky place, but you are wrong, there are green trees everywhere, wild flowers and weeds everywhere, There are many, many small animals on the grass, and there are many, many fish in the river, so beautiful. And I was born there.”
Ortus has entered his memory, his voice is low and gentle, and his eyes are shining with blurred light, it is not difficult to see from the intoxicated expression on his face, that memory is in Ortus. The best part of my memory.
"I don't know who my parents are, because it was my teacher De Philae who rescued me from the grass. The teacher said that when he woke up that day, he heard the sound of a baby crying outside the house, and when he went out, he saw I was in swaddling. And I was crying a lot, but when the teacher picked me up, I laughed at him. In the world of goblins, if no orphans are adopted, they are slaves , the teacher couldn't bear to see me face that tragic future, so he adopted me and named me Ortus
. By the way, in the goblin language, Ortus means beloved companion. Therefore, I am not only a teacher, a child, a student, but also his most beloved companion. "
When Ortus talked about De Philae, the expression on his face became more gentle. Just looking at it like this, Ortus' not-so-good-looking face was no longer so disgusting.
"I've been with the teacher for a long time, since I was a baby, and I have grown up. The teacher is the most intelligent and wise man of the goblin family. Although everyone says that goblin engineering is the basic talent of goblins, but you outsiders are simply I don’t know, the real goblin engineering is not enough for ordinary goblins. The so-called engineering that ordinary goblins know are just some deceiving tricks in our eyes. Only you stupid foreigners can do it. So superstitious, and giving a lot of money to those bastards who have nothing to do." Ortus snorted, and he had a pedantic taste of old school, always looking down on ordinary goblins, but. He does have this capital.
It is recorded in the book that because of their passion for earning money, there are fewer and fewer goblins who are willing to study the essence of goblin engineering, and the only real inheritors are De Philae and his student Oltu. s. If nothing else, just from the mechanical sculpture just now, it can be seen that if it was made by ordinary goblins, it would definitely not fly so smoothly, nor fly so fast, the most important thing is. Flying so far, I'm afraid it will fall apart long ago.
"My teacher is the last great master of goblin engineering, and I have only reached the stage of the master, and I have not ascended." The gentle light on Ortus' face suddenly dimmed. It looks very sad.
"Why?" Ye Ci asked at the right time to guide the next task.
"Because, I left Wausoko." Altus' voice sounded very deep.
"Isn't Warsok a good place to study goblin engineering? You're a master of goblin engineering. Why leave there, have you found a better place?"
"Wusauko is my hometown, what better place in the world than my own hometown?" Altus' face showed a very sad and mournful expression: "I left Wausau to avoid pursuit. division."
"Pursue?" This is strange, it has never been recorded in the book. Ye Ci is also the first time I heard it.
"Yes, I have been studying with the teacher. The long lifespan of goblins has given us endless time to support our research. I even thought that my whole life would be like this.
. "Ortus' eyes flashed a gentle light again, but there was more or less sadness in this gentle light." However, I didn't expect that one day, the continent would be divided, and the demon king Naga's claws stretched out to this continent. Also reaching out to Wausoko. Goblins are a race proficient in engineering, no matter how crude the things that ordinary goblins make. In the eyes of your foreigners, that is the most sophisticated technology. certainly. The same is true in the eyes of the Demon Lord Naga. The Demon King Naga launched a war against the God King Cordelai. The God King called on all races on the continent to resist his aggression. In that war, the heroes of all races paid a painful price. When Ortus said this, he turned to look at Ye Ci and said, "It's as if Doer, the elf king of your race, was also slaughtered, and even his soul was imprisoned by the Naga." "
Ye Ci heard this, and her heart jumped suddenly, Elf King Dole! This is a racial side quest she received, because Dole's map fragments have not been found completely, so she has never handed in this quest. As for the history of these continental battles, there are no books recorded in the National Library. Even if they are recorded, there are only a few. Ye Ci thought that this may have something to do with the main dark task of the game, so the game does not give Direct prompts and guidance require players to explore slowly by themselves during the adventure.
"Where is Dole's soul imprisoned?" Ye Ci couldn't help but ask Ortus with the excitement in his heart.
Ortus didn't seem satisfied that his story was interrupted, and he frowned: "Aren't you listening to the story? What do you ask this for?"
Ye Ci looked at Ortus' expression and knew that he was a little dissatisfied with this goblin, so he quickly and tactfully said: "Dear Mr. Ortus, after that war, our elf family There is no more king, the whole elves are divided, so..."
The low and sad tone of Ye Ci made Ortus empathize with him, after all, he was an NPC who went through that war, and he sighed: "Yeah, your elves are also quite pitiful, and they were divided like this. I just know that Dole's soul is imprisoned, but I don't know where it is imprisoned. This is the secret of the Naga, how can we know the secret of the Naga?"
Ye Ci nodded, thinking about it too. Since it is the main dark line task of the game, it is an important background to support the continuous advancement of the game. How could the answer surface so quickly? Now that she knows that Dole's soul is imprisoned by the Naga, then other things are slowly waiting for the opportunity. "Sorry, Mr. Altus, for interrupting your story, but go on."
Ortus nodded: "In that battle, our goblin's advanced technology caused Naga a big loss, so after that battle, he commanded his minions, bloodthirsty undead and sinful orcs, to destroy the entire Wo Soko is under control." At this point, Altus became angry: "No
! They didn't control Wasoko, they controlled that bastard Chell! Cheer is not worthy of being the king of goblins at all. In order to save his life, he actually betrayed his entire race! ! In order to obtain the secret of the most sophisticated goblin engineering, the naga and Cher have captured my teacher, Dephila! The teacher left me a message before taking it away. Just to make sure I didn't end up in jail. I escaped from Warsok, but the teacher was imprisoned in the deepest part of Chell Palace! "
Ortus' emotions became more and more excited: "The teacher is my father, my benefactor, and my closest partner and relative in this world, but I left him to swim in this wilderness continent. For so long, I couldn't find a way to save him! In the end, I had to reach an agreement with Moore, he helped me find a candidate to save the teacher, and I..." Altus stopped here. Obviously, he didn't want to tell Ye Ci what kind of agreement he had reached with Moore, the lord of Black Mud City.
His eyes narrowed, and he continued: "After a long wait, I finally waited for you, Elf."
"I'm willing to serve you. Mr. Ortus." After such a long task description, Ye Ci finally received the task. "But where is Mr. De Philae? How am I going to find him?"
"If I remember correctly. He should still be in the goblin's palace in Wausoko." He took out a compass and handed it to Ye Ci: "This is the goblin compass that I developed exclusively, as long as you hold it , after stepping into the realm of Wasako. It can take you all the way to my teacher."
Ye Ci took the goblin compass and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, it was something produced by master-level goblin engineering, and it was many times more sophisticated than the goblin compass on the market.
"Go, elf, if you can bring out my teacher, I won't treat you badly." Ortus stood up from the stake, then stretched out a finger and pointed at the leaf words: "As long as you blow Ring that spoon and I'll be there soon. Good luck, elf."
After finishing speaking, Ortus' not tall figure gradually disappeared into the night, and even the mechanical sculpture disappeared. Only Ye Ci was left standing alone in the fragrant wilderness.
on the present four continents. In fact, there is no map of Wasoko, Ye Ci can conclude that after the war. The map of Wasoko has already fallen, but where is Wasoko now? She opened the reminder of the task. Study page by page. Finally, I found this sentence in the corner of the mission: Wasoko used to be a beautiful place, but now it has disappeared. Those who want to pursue it may wish to go to the Wilderness of Blood to find clues.
Bloody wilderness.
It is a huge map near Shengguang City, the main city in the western continent. The terrain there is complex, there are many monsters and high levels. It is not a good place for players to level up. Not only that, but because there are no supply points there, players Generally do not choose to level in that place
.
However, players generally do not choose to level up there, which does not mean that there are no players there. Ye Ci believes that the game of Destiny now has as many as one billion players. Even if there are 250 million players in each continent, it is impossible for all of these 250 million players to choose the Wilderness of Blood to level up. After all, there are a lot of strange things, and the refresh rate is fast. As long as you can find a suitable method, it is a good place to soar your level. It's just that there are relatively few people there, which is a good help for Ye Ci to sneak into the wilderness of blood.
On the western continent, Ye Ci couldn't open the teleportation point, and there was no way to blatantly ride the fourth hurricane. The only way to get from one map to another was to walk over.
Fortunately, the Fragrant Wilderness is also on the edge of Shengguang City. As long as Ye Ci carefully touches the edge of the map, it will take a few hours to enter the map of Shengguang City - Ke Duolin.
The stealth of a hunter is not as concealed as that of a thief, especially in the western continent, where players from the western continent are everywhere, and she will never initiate any conflict with these players in the western continent unless it is absolutely necessary. What's more, the more entangled with players in the Western Continent, the more time it will take to spend on the Western Continent, and Ye Ci has not forgotten that the exploration time for her Mithril vein is only ten days, and the new expansion will take place. There are still 30 days to open, and it is imminent before the prosperous guild enters its destiny. She has no time to waste.
It was for this reason that Ye Ci did not dare to take the big road. Although it would not be strange to walk on the big road in the middle of the map, it was too dangerous. She sneaks. Go towards Kodolin by the edge of the map. If she doesn't meet a player on the way, she can still kill two monsters, but if she encounters a player, whether it's a single or a group, she will go around.
After sneaking for several hours, Ye Ci finally touched the intersection of Kodolin and Youxiang Wilderness. There is a very sturdy stone bridge here, and the gentle river flows under the stone bridge, and there are many wild flowers and plants growing on the shore and in the river, which looks peaceful and quiet. After all, this is near the main city of the western continent, and there are high-level guards everywhere. Couldn't be safer.
However, this kind of peaceful and peaceful appearance is extremely fierce to Ye Ci. On the huge stone bridge that can accommodate four carriages in parallel, three steps and one post, two steps and one post are full of more than one blood volume. Millions of sixty-five elite guards. And all of them are triggered and linked, as long as Ye Ci accidentally leads one, then hundreds of guards on this bridge will rush over. that time. Ye Ci thought that even if he had wings, he might not be able to fly.
Not only that, but their level is five levels higher than Ye Ci
. At such a level, ordinary stealth and stealth would definitely not be able to deceive them. not to mention. These guards all have the ability to detect, even if Ye Ci can sneak under their noses, I am afraid that they will not be able to avoid the ability to detect.
From this point of view, it is impossible to pass through the bridge.
The only way to go is under the bridge.
But under the bridge is the river, jumping into the river, Ye Ci can't sneak, she has to swim over. However, there are also many patrolling soldiers and players fighting monsters by the river. Although they did not expect a hunter from the Eastern Continent to be hiding beside them now, after jumping into the water. The kind of dazzling red light emitted from his body, he wanted to go unnoticed. That's just a fool's dream.
Ye Ci just crouched in a clump of low plants beside the bridge, thinking carefully about how to pass this level. After thinking about it for a while, there was still nothing to do. In the end, in desperation, Ye Ci could only use the fraud brooch. The fraud brooch can disguise the player as a player from a hostile continent, but there is a limit, it can only be used once a day, and can only be used for half an hour at a time, not only that, it cannot enter the main city, because the guards of the main city are cannot be deceived.
Ye Ci originally wanted to keep the effect of this fraud brooch for half an hour and find a small town to supply supplies when there are no medicines and consumables today, but now it seems that it is impossible. If she didn't use the fraud brooch now, she would be wasting it here today.
After weighing this, Ye Ci didn't hesitate any longer, turned the fraud brooch, disguised himself as a human thief from the Western Continent, and stood up calmly from the low plant. A thief was originally a shady profession, so there were too many things to hide, and her appearance did not attract the attention of other players and guards. In order to speed up the journey, Ye Ci recruited a little red horse. Although the speed of the little red horse is really slow enough, but it is faster than two legs, she has no courage to recruit the fourth child in this place, so it is better to be slower.
Neatly climbed onto the horse's back, Ye Ci tried to restrain her inner tension and walked towards the bridge.
It is an experiment that the fraud brooch can fool NPCs, but it is still unknown whether the fraud brooch can fool the NPCs of the enemy camp. Ye Ci held a heart and tried to make himself very calm, like an ordinary player, galloping through the middle of the bridge with his horse and whip.
In fact, the fraud brooch is still very effective. When Ye Ci ran past the hundreds of guards in the middle of the bridge, none of the guards found that Ye Ci was a fake. They still stood there, majestic, No one noticed in the slightest that an Eastern Continent player had entered the map of the main city, Holy Light City, Kodolin
.
"You found the Arc Bridge."
"You've found Kodolin."
As Ye Ci galloped on a horse, the system kept mentioning Ye Ci's exploration of the Western Continent more and more. Exploring maps on hostile continents is highly rewarding, especially where you can get close to the map of the main city. If you explore the map here, you can often get a lot of money and honor in addition to considerable experience. Therefore, as long as you have the courage and confidence that you will not die, you can explore on the map of the hostile continent. With that experience and honor alone, it is not difficult to level up.
Since the fraud brooch cannot enter the Holy Light City, Ye Ci will not get close to the Holy Light City unnecessary, she opened the map. Run towards the nearest place in the Wilderness of Blood. She only has half an hour, and she can't waste it at all. It is best to reach the Wilderness of Blood before the fraudulent effect of the fraud brooch expires.
The players in Kodolin are obviously more numerous and denser than those in the Fragrant Wilderness. Ye Ci can meet one or several players in almost two steps.
To reach the Wilderness of Blood from Kodolin is to follow a circuitous path in the west of Kodolin. Because this path is close to the Wilderness of Blood, there are also many high-level monsters. However, the players here are obviously all in groups. The team came. Hold the refresh points one by one and quietly stare at the arrival of the ghouls. Ye Ci has been to Holy Light City a few times in the last life, and has also been to the Bloody Wilderness a few times, so she still has some memories of the terrain here. Such memories made her not take any detours and quickly arrived at this path.
It's not the same as the sunny weather in Shengguang City. As soon as you step on this path, the light immediately dims, as if you have entered a dark underworld where the sun cannot be seen.
"You found the rancid path." The system diligently prompted Ye Ci to explore another map.
Ye Ci looked up. All I could see were dead trees on both sides of the rancid path, and there were many dead bodies hanging on the trees, and under these trees, ghouls often climbed out of the ground. Climb up the tree and eat those corpses. The whole atmosphere was disgusting and terrifying, and it was unthinkable at all. Such a map is actually on the edge of Shengguang City, which makes people feel that this is really an irony.
Most of the players who have just entered the game of Destiny will be frightened by the horror of some of his maps. There are many male players and more female players. However, with the progress of the game, the courage of the players seems to have been exercised more and more, Ye Ci even saw many female players who seemed to be weak and expressionless to release their skills at those terrifying and abominable ghouls. , then calmly stepped forward to snatch loot from their corpses
.
If you just started the game, such a situation must be very scary, but after a year of training in the game. It seems that all players have become numb.
The monsters here refresh quickly, and the experience is very objective. Even if a team of players kills together, everyone's experience is very thin. However, the refresh soon made up for everyone's shortcomings. It is for this reason that on the rancid path, a team of five or six people gathers at each refresh point to guard this refresh point.
When they found that other players came to the rancid path, these teams would speak out and tell each other that there were already people here.
When Ye Ci rode a horse across the rancid path, she immediately heard such a prompt, and the players in the Western Continent said, "Please let me go, there are already people here. If you want to kill monsters, please find another refresh point."
"Rang Rang, Rang Rang, the sword is ruthless, and the wrong injury is irresponsible."
"There are people at this refresh point, you need another place to level up!"
…
Along the way, the propaganda proclaiming their sovereignty came one after another. It seems that in order to be able to upgrade faster, the so-called friendship of mainland players is actually a fart. Ye Ci slapped the little red horse's ass with a horsewhip, hoping that this guy would run faster, because there are less than three minutes left for her cheating time.
There are so many players on the rancid path, and the terrain on both sides is not suitable for battle. If the fraud brooch fails here, then it is not a good result waiting for her.
"Hey, is that thief going to the Wilderness of Blood?"
"Isn't it? You dare to go to the Wilderness of Blood alone, and you don't bring your wet nurse, you're courting death."
"Maybe they are rich and carry a backpack of blood bottles."
"Che, do you think that kind of place is accessible to everyone? Treat yourself as a player against the sky."
…
Looking at Ye Ci's back, he didn't stop, instead he flew all the way towards the bloody wilderness, and many players who were leveling up began to whisper. After all, the level of danger in the Wilderness of Blood is not comparable to that of the rancid lower road. There are too few players like Ye Ci who go alone.
.
Ye Ci couldn't care about what these players said, and just flew towards the bloody wilderness with a breath.
With fifty seconds left, the Wilderness of Blood was already in sight, and Ye Ci had even seen the blood-red sky in the Wilderness of Blood.
The time is getting closer and closer, and the little red horse's footsteps are really weak, Ye Ci can't help but regret it. It would have been better if she had spent a little more money on a better horse, but she never imagined that one day she would be able to ride the fourth...
There are still dozens of yards away from the wilderness of blood, and Ye Ci's time is still thirty-seven seconds.
It should be enough. There are no players in this runaway path. Even if there is not enough time, no players will find it.
Twelve seconds to go, and a few yards to the Wilderness of Blood. Ye Ci's heart almost touched his throat, don't meet a player passing by, don't meet a player passing by! If you encounter a player passing by here. It is easy to alert other players on the rancid path, and it will cause unnecessary trouble.
Just thinking about it, Ye Ci suddenly saw a player riding a unicorn speeding past him. This person's speed is extremely fast, but this person's face seems to be carved into Ye Ci's eyes with a knife, making her breathing suddenly stop!
She won't be so unlucky! You will meet the person you most want to meet in this place!
Although Ye Ci has long known. As long as she sets foot on the land of the Western Continent, she has a high chance of meeting this person, but. After all, she still had a bit of luck in her heart. The western continent is so big, and she is only doing tasks. How could she be so unlucky to meet him
However, it turns out. She did have bad luck, and bad luck at times. All the bad things come together. If it wasn't for this person she met now, maybe she would be able to deal with it, but if she met this person, Ye Ci only felt that her sky was getting dark...
nnd, what a shit luck!
Yes, this person is fleeting.
Although Liu Nian has already reached level 60, the gems with added crit will drop on the plain of blood. When Liu Nian has nothing to do, he is still very keen to brush gems. Now his bag is full, and the durability of his equipment is almost gone. The most important thing is that there are not many arrows left on his body, and Xiao Wu has no food to eat.
. If you continue to fight, it is estimated that not only will you run out of ammunition and food. Xiao Wu will also go on strike to protest. So Lienian packed up his belongings and prepared to go back to Shengguang City to resupply.
The Plain of Blood is a place where fleeting years often come. It is safer to go anywhere, and it will not attract too many monsters. He has long been familiar with it. He recruited his white unicorn, neatly mounted his horse, and ran all the way towards Holy Light City.
Today, the harvest of fleeting years is very good. Not only did I pick up four flawed crit gems, but I also picked up a flawless power gem. I took it back to Shengguang City to find a synthetic NPC to synthesize it, maybe I could get a higher quality one. gem. When he thought that his bow could soon be inlaid with a perfect crit gem, his heart was filled with joy. As soon as he was happy, the pace of this running became even lighter.
Soon, he saw the rancid path from the field of blood. There is a pass there, looking over from the wilderness of blood, it only feels dark there. The rancid path is probably the place that fleeting years dislikes the most. The environment there is dark and smelly, which is really annoying, but he also admires the players there. They can level up monsters in such a place full of rotten smell. And it's been swiping for days, and it's...great.
Just as he was about to rush into the rancid path, Liu Nian suddenly saw a player running across from him. This is a male thief. The color of the equipment on his body is dark, and he can't tell the pros and cons at a glance. However, the horse he slapped is not a good thing. At first glance, it looks like a bad street.
He has no company.
Entering the wilderness of blood alone
Thieves should do it. But it has to work well. Although there are not many players who single-play monsters in the Bloody Wilderness, there are still fifty or sixty people. They each guard a place, and they still recognize it more or less, but this person has a very face, as if he has never seen it before.
However, Liu Nian has no doubts. After all, there are so many players in the Western Continent, and everyone has a different way of playing the game. Even if this thief wanted to pursue some excitement and send him to his death by the way, there was no way to stop the fleeting years.
After all, the same rice raises a hundred different people. Besides, this seems to have nothing to do with fleeting years.
Liu Nian has never been a nosy person. He just saw this thief from a distance and analyzed it according to common sense, so he didn't think much about it. His unicorn was extremely fast and quickly passed the thief.
Suddenly, in a flash, he seemed to see something... (To be continued)
