In order to avoid provoke unnecessary hatred, Ye Ci put away the fourth child, and then entered the state of stealth, carefully bypassing these traps all the way, and went deeper into the forest.
As expected by Ye Ci, after walking about four or five hundred yards, she began to find traces of humanoid NPCs. However, a few humans in animal skins with bows and arrows on their backs were squatting on the ground to dig traps. He is burly and taller than the average human body. His muscles are knotted, his complexion is red, and his feet are particularly large. His limbs are strong and powerful. At first glance, he often runs in the mountains.
Ye Ci squatted in the bushes far away, watching them. Although their traps are all very basic physical traps, they are very skilled at digging. If it weren't for a profession like Ye Ci, who was good at digging traps, the general profession might suffer.
These people were digging while speaking a language that Ye Ci could not understand. This did not make Ye Ci strange. In fate, there are about fifty or so recorded races in total, and each race has its own Unique language, and there are countless tribes under these fifty or so races, it is likely that the language of each tribe and tribe is different
. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ye Ci, who only knows six or seven languages, cannot understand their tribal language, but generally all races will have a common language, which is mainly used to communicate with players, to avoid many players because they do not know NPCs. Such a tragic thing about missing the mission due to the language of the .
After a while they dug the trap, stood up, and walked deeper into the forest. Ye Ci followed them from a distance to see where they were going. But he didn't dare to get too close. She threw a reconnaissance technique on these NPCs just now. They are all around level 70. Although they are not NPCs that actively attack, neutral NPCs will not have any special bad feelings for players. Of course, There won't be any special favors either. Therefore, Ye Ci didn't really want them to discover their existence.
A few people did not continue to dig traps along the way, but they talked and laughed along the way, looking very happy. The forest leaf word here has never come before, so leaf word uses a dagger to mark the edge of the trees that he passes through while advancing, so that he will not lose his way in this forest when he comes back.
Not much time to go. Ye Ci saw them walking into a village from a distance. The village is also very primitive, with houses made of animal skins and wood everywhere. Ye Ci waited for a while, and after the few people walked into the depths of the village, he slowly sneaked to the edge of the village, intending to look inside the village. What is this place, by the way, let's find out if there is an NPC called Darufal.
However, what Ye Ci didn't think of was. As soon as she approached the village, she found a bead like an eyeball on a pillar in the village, and looked towards her. And at this moment, Ye Ci, who had been hiding well, was there. The body suddenly appeared, and the system also reminded her that hiding failed.
Ye Ci's heart sank. It's over, it's been discovered. And the second consciousness, she just turned around and was about to leave.
However, before she could quickly withdraw, she heard a huge roar from the village: "dftrptgm... edgapwm!!"
In the next step, Ye Ci was surrounded by countless long and short weapons. Looking at the swords, spears, swords and halberds that were facing her, although they were not sharp, if so many came to her body together, Rao Ye Ci was agile enough, and she couldn't escape. Alive to be inserted into a hedgehog.
Ye Ci couldn't move at all, raised his head and looked at the people in front of them, all of them were dressed in the same way.
. Looking at himself blankly, there are dozens of people. Holding different weapons, they all pointed at Ye Ci and surrounded her. Ye Ci has some black lines, what race are these NPCs, they look like people, but the speed is too fast, just in a moment, where did they come from!
Ye Ci wanted to try to talk to them, but all these people ignored them, or looked at Ye Ci with a blank expression. It was obvious that these people could not understand Ye Ci's words. This can make Ye Ci tangled. In the current situation, there is no way that Ye Ci will be caught by them and sent to eat...
Just when Ye Ci was so tangled, she saw that the crowd in front of her had parted a path, and then walked through the middle of the path, a tall and burly old man. With a face full of vicissitudes, he wears a very luxurious crown on his head, and he also wears a blue robe. The robe is decorated with chains made of animal bones and teeth, and in his hand he holds a magic bullet. The stick-like long staff has a fist-sized dark red gem on the top of the stick, which faintly exudes mysterious power.
He slowly walked towards Ye Ci, and there was an inescapable sharpness in his eyes. His pace is not fast, but every step carries a shocking pressure, which seems to be overwhelming. Ye Ci quietly threw a reconnaissance technique towards this person. Like the mermaid, all the data of this NPC are question marks, at least it is more than sixty levels higher than Ye Ci. He stood quietly in front of Ye Ci, not angry but powerful, as if exuding a kind of power that people couldn't resist.
Ye Ci looked at him like this and took a deep breath. Although she had a heavy feeling under the gaze of the old man, she still looked at this person calmly.
After a while, the old man said to Ye Ci in a very old common language: "I haven't seen elves for a long time, the most common race in our living place is mermaid, white elves, what are you? Where did you get here from?"
Listening to the old man's words, Ye Ci exhaled. Fortunately, there is one NPC in this group who can speak Common Tongue. Otherwise, she is really a chicken and a duck. In order to answer the old man's words, and to show his respect, Ye Ci planned to stand up. Although the old man's rank should be about the same as that of the mermaid, Ye Ci felt that he was in terms of his aura, expression and age. It must be more reliable than that mermaid. So I decided to do a salute to show my respect.
But. But she didn't expect that she had just moved, and the weapons that were pointing at her were all closer, and now they were about to be inserted into his skin, Ye Ci could only keep the same, quietly looking at the old man .
The old man was also very knowledgeable. He raised his hand and shook it gently, causing everyone to step back, giving Ye Ci a chance to stand up.
. but. These people didn't retreat very far, anyway, it was the kind of distance that could kill her with just one step.
Ye Ci stood up and raised his hands to indicate that he didn't have any weapons or threatened them. Then he saluted the old man and answered in the most standard and accurate way in the game. He said calmly and solemnly: "Respect elders, please forgive me for breaking into your territory recklessly. I am a white elf from the Majia continent. I encountered a big storm on the way to the boat and fell into the sea. I was lucky. When I came here, I lost my direction. I couldn't find the way back, I was running in the vast forest. I came across your clan, and that's how I came here. If any of my actions make you feel unhappy, I am here to tell you. You express my sincerest apologies, and please forgive my recklessness once again."
Ye Ci was very handy in dealing with NPCs. She said these few words, which obviously relieved the old man's vigilant expression a little. However, he didn't believe Ye Ci right away, he just looked at her up and down again, and then said, "White Elf, I smell a mermaid on your body. What's going on?"
"Respected elder, before I met you, I did meet a mermaid with a blue fish tail at the beach. I almost became her food, but later. I don't know why she let me go and let me Looking for a man named Darufal for her, because in his hand she has the violin she needs. But when I reached the Breda Crater, I did not find this man named Darufal People, but I met your clan, so I took the liberty to follow them here." This npc seems to have very high intelligence, and his identity is also very high, so Ye Ci is talking to him. Time did not lie. NPCs with high IQ and identity can use a special way to judge whether the player's words are true or a lie, and if it is a lie, they will be punished by them.
In light of the loss of trust forever, in the worst case, you will die in a foreign country.
So when Ye Ci faced the old man, she chose to tell the truth.
The old man looked at Ye Ci quietly, and nodded after a long time: "That's right, mermaids don't like to eat women. For them, the meat of women is not delicious, and even a little poisonous, so men more suitable for their appetite."
It turned out that, Ye Ci nodded secretly, no wonder the mermaid would let him go in the end, thinking that the mermaid was inexplicable, it turned out that this was the real reason. Because of their mother's, they want to eat the male's... This answer is really uncomfortable.
"I communicated with God, and God told me that what you said is the truth, white elf, then I also believe your words.
. The old man tapped the ground three times with the staff in his hand, and then all those who surrounded Ye Ci dispersed. Then, he said, "I am Darufal, the white elf. "
It turned out that the old man was Darufal, Ye Ci exhaled, this is really nowhere to be found after stepping through the iron shoes, it took no effort to get it.
"Hello, Mr. Darufal, I'm Young Master You." Ye Ci quickly and respectfully reported his name to show his humility.
Aluffal nodded slightly, expressing his acceptance of Ye Ci's respect, and then his expression became a lot easier: "You said, there is a mermaid who asked you to come to me for a piano, right?"
"Yes, she did say so." Ye Ci was not in a hurry, these were two NPCs over level 120. Ye Ci didn't think they would hand over the quest items to him so easily. Otherwise, this task is too cheap.
"Okay, come and see what kind of piano she needs." Darufal nodded, turned and entered the village with Ye Ci.
Hey? Is this also possible? Ye Ci was stunned for a moment. Did she think too complicated? Maybe this task is really simple, just need to come over to run an errand? Although game common sense tells Ye Ci that this is absolutely impossible, from the current situation, it seems that this is really the case.
Ye Ci walked behind Darufal in the village, while observing the buildings and all the NPCs in the village. I saw that the village was very large. There are probably several thousand or more NPCs here. All of them have burly and tall builds, and the male muscles are knotted, and the females are not far behind. They are very strong all over. Although they are petite compared to men, they are stronger than ordinary humans. They saw that Darufal all stood up along the way, and greeted Darufal with words that Ye Ci could not understand, thinking that Ye Ci might be saying hello or showing respect.
The architectural style in this village is very rough. Although most of the houses are made of wood as supports and animal skins as walls and roofs, there are still houses of different styles. For example, on the mountain behind the village. Ye Ci actually saw three or four arrow towers. Although the top of the arrow towers was decorated with the unique animal bones of this village, it could still be seen that the arrow towers were very cleverly made. Although Ye Ci doesn't know how effective it is, it just looks from the outside. This arrow tower is similar to the arrow towers in the four corners of Champion City.
This is quite surprising. In a village full of primitive styles, such a modern civilization has appeared. It really has to be amazing.
Ye Ci walked slowly behind Darufal while looking at the arrow tower.
. Suddenly she felt someone looking at her, and quickly turned to look. But I only saw a few totems stuck on the ground, with eyes on them, staring at her intently. And in the middle of these totems, is the big eye that found Ye Ci at the beginning, and it is also looking at itself.
"This is a guest, let's go." Darufal stood in front of these totems and tapped lightly with his cane, and those eyes turned away immediately, not looking at Ye Ci.
Illustration Teng should be a shaman-specific skill. Ye Ci looked at Darufal's profile, could this guy be a shaman? While Ye Ci was muttering like this, Darufal turned his head to look at Ye Ci and said, "Are you guessing my identity?"
"Please forgive my presumptuousness. Mr. Darufal, I'm just amazed at your ability to control totems. You remind me of the statues of heroes in Champion City. Among them is a great shaman." Ye Ci did not say yes I didn't say no, and looked at Darufal with a smile: "Champion City said in his introduction to him. He has a god-like control over totems, which makes me very fascinated. It's a pity that I was born so many years later, without The way to see his demeanor back then."
Darufal looked at Ye Ci with no expression on his face, but he couldn't guess what he was thinking. After a while, he said slowly, "You're talking about Kuta, right?"
"Yes." Ye Ci nodded, looking a little surprised: "What? Does Mr. Darufal know him too?"
"He's my brother." Darufal said quietly, as if very calm.
However, this answer almost scared Ye Ci to death. She covered her chest with her left hand, trying to keep her heart from beating too fast. No, this guy is over a thousand years old? You must know that in the history of Maja Continent, when these heroes fought against the Naga Demon King, it was more than a thousand years ago, and in the most tragic battle, the greatest human shaman Kuta died. , If Darufal in front of him is really Kuta's younger brother, then he is a veritable thousand-year-old monster.
Ye Ci hesitated for a while and didn't know how to answer Darufal, but said, "I didn't expect to meet you here, Mr. Darufal." Then she thought of something: "Mr. Kuta As if human beings, and you…”
She didn't finish, she thought, and Darufal understood what she meant.
Darufal just took a deep look at Ye Ci, and then said, "We are the Doro tribe, a race born from the combination of humans and barbarians."
Ye Ci nodded, no wonder this race seems to have not only the strength of barbarians, but also the agility and wisdom of humans. It turned out to be a combination of the two races.
.
"You must think that our race is a very good race, with both the strength of barbarians and the wisdom of humans, right?" Darufal seemed to be able to spy on people's hearts, and he actually opened his mouth and said Ye Words are on the mind. This made Ye Ci a little surprised. Could it be that this guy has something in his heart? It turned out to be like a roundworm in his stomach, and he knew exactly what he thought. But despite this, Ye Ci replied to Darufal: "Yes. This looks very good."
However, Darufal let out a long sigh and continued to walk towards the village with Ye Ci while walking. He turned to Ye Ci: "But, it's not actually like this."
Ye Ci walked behind Darufal, listened carefully to what he said, and then added a sentence from time to time to show that he was listening carefully. This is the best way to talk to NPCs. Generally, NPCs do not like players to interrupt when they are doing such long and long narratives, but if the paragraphs are too long, it is inevitable that players will lose interest again, so. If the player does not speak for a long time, the NPC will think that the player is not listening, which will make him a little unhappy, but if the player responds too positively to these NPCs, they will feel that the player is too annoying. Why do you always interrupt yourself, and you will feel unhappy in your heart. In short, no matter how uncomfortable. It will affect the subsequent interaction between the NPC and the player.
In particular, after such long narratives, quests generally follow, if the player upsets the NPC. Then the tasks received will be less than ideal in terms of difficulty and rewards. Therefore, talking to NPCs is also a technical task.
For such a technical leaf word has long been mastered very well. What's more, she has the trait of treacherousness, and it is deceptive to NPCs, so that she has never suffered any losses in the dialogue with these NPCs.
Darufal spoke slowly, and Ye Ci was listening attentively. These words looked like nonsense, but Ye Ci knew that if he didn't record these words carefully, he might be in the process of doing tasks in the future. will suffer.
The Doro ethnic group originally did not have this ethnic group. And there is no record of this race in the long history of Marga Continent, or rather. It's because their race is too weak to be recorded in history at all. Doro means "abandoned" in the language of the barbarians, that is. The Doro are an abandoned race.
Although this race is a race born from the union of barbarians and humans, it is more than barbarians. They are not strong, and they are not dexterous and wise compared to humans, but they averagely combine the advantages and disadvantages of the two races. Such an overly mediocre race is of course despised by barbarians and humans.
. Even before the Naga Demon King invaded the Marga Continent, this weak tribe was abandoned, and the humans did not recognize them as a tribe of humans, and neither did the barbarians.
At that time, the fate of the tribes that were not recognized by the race was very tragic. Not only did no one lend a helping hand when they were attacked by the demons, but even when they were bullied by other races, they could only suffer silently. What was even more terrifying was that, Because they have both the strength of barbarians and the command of human beings, many nobles began to capture the Doro people on a large scale, using them as private goods and becoming their eternal slaves.
The people of the Doro tribe kept escaping and hiding in such a harsh environment, and finally they were all caught. When they were put into a boat and brought to the original city of Glory, the largest royal city in the Mafa Continent, for auction, However, they encountered a storm at sea, the entire ship was destroyed, and the slave owners responsible for escorting them also fell into the sea and drowned. However, they were floating at sea because they were locked in wooden cages.
Their strength attracted mermaids, and the mermaids wanted to treat them as delicacies, but the Doro clan chief at that time made a deal with the mermaid king, as long as the mermaid king could let them go and take them to a safe place without anyone else harassed island, then they will make musical instruments for the mermaid for free. At that time, the mermaids mostly relied on ferocity and strength to hunt for food, and did not have any skills, but the patriarch of the Doro tribe found that the mermaid had a beautiful voice, so he made this proposal.
After trying the method of using musical instruments to sing to confuse the food, the mermaid king felt that this method was much better than the method of pulling and pulling with strength, so he accepted the proposal of the Doro clan chief and brought them to this small island to settle down. Come down, and this small island is the place where the mermaid activities are most dense, and other races never dare to approach because they are afraid of the ferocity and sturdyness of the mermaid. In order to thank the mermaid for their help, the Doro people have helped them make musical instruments with mind control for free since then, until now.
Gradually, the Doro people have been living on this little-known island for many years, they have their own language, they are no longer worried about other races persecuting them, and they live a very peaceful life. The Doro people have the strength of barbarians and the wisdom of humans. Although they have only average advantages and disadvantages compared to barbarians and humans, their race has the best attributes to learn the shaman profession. Just a pity. The Doro people have always lived at the bottom of the society, they are not qualified to study shaman, and they waste a lot of talents. Until the appearance of Kuta, he was the most talented shaman in the entire Doro tribe. From a young age, he showed an extraordinary love for the profession of shaman, and he was very friendly. The relationship with the mermaid is also good, so I also learned a lot of skills and techniques about the ancient shaman from the mermaid. After twenty years of study, he finally became a qualified shaman.
As the younger brother of Kuta, Darufal also learned the profession of shaman under his influence since childhood.
.
Kuta is a positive young man, he is very kind. Although he knew of the persecution of his own nation by various races, he still couldn't stop him from going to the Magar Continent to study abroad, even though he was the next patriarch. But these still can not become the fetters of his long journey. Although the entire nation was against his departure, Kuta finally left here with the help of a mermaid and went to the Marga Continent. Then... The Demon Lord Naga declared war on the entire continent, and Kuta joined the battle.
He showed amazing talent in this battle. He soon became the youngest elder of the Shaman Professional Society on the Marga Continent, but his race was strange. And Kuta is also tight-lipped about his provenance. Until Kuta died on the battlefield of Naga, people didn't know how to learn about Kuta's origin. His kindness, bravery, and his stunning beauty left a deep impression on the entire continent. After the battle against the Demon Lord Naga was over, although the Maga continent was divided into five parts, his statue could still be seen in the main cities of each continent.
The death of Kuta was only known to the Doro after many years. The mermaid who took Kuta away back to the Doro with his staff, and the Doro was very sad. And the old patriarch passed away soon after. As the leader of a new generation, Darufal has become the new leader of the Doro tribe, until now.
Ye Ci listened to Darufal's narration while aiming at the staff in his hand. He secretly exclaimed in his heart: "My good fellow, this thing is actually the relic of the hero Kuta. According to the historical records of the Marga Continent. After that battle, those who were finally commemorated as heroes obtained a low-level godhead, although they could not It is on a par with other intermediate or advanced gods, but it is simply impossible for ordinary races to get NPCs with godheads.
That is to say, although Kuta is dead, he is indeed a low-level god, and Kuta's relic—isn't that an artifact! ! ! !
artifact...
Although he was not a shaman, Ye Ci couldn't help but glanced at the staff a few more times. This thing was actually an artifact. It doesn't look like it at all, the shape is simple and the pattern is simple, no matter how you look at it, it is similar to a blue outfit, at most not more than a purple outfit, but I didn't expect it to be an artifact.
Although Ye Ci was a top-level mage in his last life, he had never seen such a thing as an artifact. Not to mention her, in the entire Destiny game, there are only dozens of artifacts, but only a few of them are in the hands of the players. Their owners have also hidden them tightly, how could it be made public? Therefore, from the previous life to this life, this is the first time Ye Ci has seen the so-called divine weapon. Even if his heart is strong, he will still be excited when facing this thing.
There was even a moment when Ye Ci had the thought of taking it as her own. Of course, this thought was quickly thrown away by her.
. After all, offending a legendary shaman with an artifact is definitely not something a smart person would do.
"Since the Doro tribe is so amazing, why don't some people go out and communicate with people outside?" Ye Ci followed behind Darufal, very curious about this primitive village.
Darufal stopped, glanced at Ye Ci, and shook his head: "Although the outside world is wonderful, there are too many temptations. Our race's fertility is not strong. If we go out to the tribe, the population will gradually become scarce. When there are few people, we will be bullied."
Although she didn't quite agree with Darufal's statement, Ye Ci still didn't say a word. She didn't want to delay on this topic, so she pointed to the arrow towers in the distance and said, "Those arrow towers are so beautiful, it's also you. Was it built?"
"Yes, we Doro, in addition to our high-quality abilities as shamans, we also have the talent for construction, but there are not enough rocks here for construction. Otherwise, we can build this place into an airtight place. Castle." Darufal is very fond of his own nation, and when he talks about his nation, there is a fascinated smile on his face.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.
Ye Ci suddenly moved in his heart when he heard Darufal's statement.
Architectural talent! Does that mean they can build impregnable fortresses and castles with enough materials? Now, because of the appearance of barren cities and fortresses, architects are becoming more and more popular as life skills. However, architects are not easy to practice, and other professional upgrade skills are only small things. However, if they want to upgrade their skills, they must build a house, but the money and materials needed to build a house are not what ordinary guilds and casual players can provide. Only large guilds have such abilities. Therefore, all architects are now in control of In the hands of the Great Guild. Even Tiantianyang does not have an architect.
But…
If he can get the trust or help of the Doro tribe, Ye Ci should be able to rent some engineers from them. Judging from the sophistication of those arrow towers, the architects of the Doro tribe are definitely above the advanced or master level. If she can get their help... Maybe she can build a high fortification outside her mithril vein, and then add all kinds of goblin engineering weapons on it, so... I'm afraid she can't hold it.
Thinking of this, Ye Ci couldn't help but burst into joy. The smile on her face got even better. Although Ye Ci really wanted to leave here before, but now
. She doesn't think so anymore. Even if she wants to go, she can't go in vain, right? At least, at least have a good relationship with this Darufal.
Although Darufal can guess a lot of Ye Ci's thoughts, those are the normal reactions of high-level IQs, such as the small abacus in Ye Ci's heart, he can't guess. He just thought how could this white elf smile so brightly all of a sudden
In order not to make Darufal suspicious, Ye Ci withdrew his eyes, nodded, and flattered Darufal calmly: "Dear Mr. Darufal, I thank you for taking me to visit you. village. The Doro is a great race."
This tall hat made Darufal very happy to wear it. He smiled and nodded, but still threatened: "White elf. Don't try to lure outsiders, if that's the case. The gods of our tribe will keep chasing you. ." With a wave of his staff, Ye Ci had a passive buff on his body.
Ye Ci saw that this buff was Doro's tracking. If she told other NPCs except the mermaid the secret and location of the Doro tribe, she would be chased and killed by the Doro tribe.
Damn, this old man is going too far, and she's not that stupid, so there's no need to curse so hard to tell others about this kind of thing.
Even so, Ye Ci still expressed her understanding. She saluted Darufal without paying any attention to his threats and curses. This performance made Darufal very satisfied. China's reputation has also been upgraded from neutral to friendly.
When he didn't find out how to upgrade his favor with the Doro tribe, Ye Ci decided to do what the mermaid explained first. And Darufal obviously meant the same thing. He took Ye Ci into a large animal skin tent in the village. Outside the animal skin tent, there was also a shaman's search totem. Everyone who came and went kept looking and looking. At the entrance of the tent, there is a wooden signboard with the appearance of a musical instrument carved on it.
After entering the tent, Ye Ci saw that there were seven or eight young Doro people inside, all of them were concentrating on their work, and sitting in the middle of the tent was a spiritual middle-aged man who saw Darufa. After entering, Er hurriedly stood up, put down his work, saluted Darufal, and then murmured a series of words that Ye Ci did not understand.
And Darufal also said something Ye Ci couldn't understand, which gave Ye Ci a great headache. Do they know it's painful? Totally like a fool. After the two talked for a while, Darufal suddenly raised his hand and pressed it lightly on Ye Ci's head. Light. (To be continued)
