Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 258: Araunah

Views:

Isn't it going to kill her again... Ye Ci looked at the white light streaming down from the top of her head, and subconsciously smiled bitterly, what is the curse this time

The dazzling light disappeared after about tens of seconds. At this time, the system prompts: You have learned Doro.

It really is a game! I learned a new language all of a sudden! How come this kind of good thing doesn't happen in real life? In reality, Ye Ci is a person who is not very talented in language. In addition to being able to speak Chinese, he can barely speak English, so he expresses envy and jealousy for the way he quickly learns a new language in the game. Hate, if only it could be like this in reality.

"Okay, white elf, if you want to buy a piano, you can tell Baal. If you have other things, you can come to the village hall to find me." Darufal handed the leaf word to the man. The middle-aged man then turned around and left the animal skin tent.

Ye Ci saluted at his back, whether it was sincere or false, now that he is on someone else's territory, showing respect to someone else's boss is a neat thing to do.

Obviously, Baali was very satisfied with Ye Ci's politeness. He smiled and said to Ye Ci, "White Elf, do you want to buy a piano?"

"Yes. Dear Mr. Baal." Ye Ci nodded. She looked at the various musical instruments hanging on the wall behind Baal. Each piece was well made, and you could tell at a glance. is good stuff.

"Okay, you can choose all the musical instruments here." Baal opened a trading interface for Ye Ci, and there were all kinds of musical instruments on it, which made people dazzled. Ye Ci didn't know which musical instrument to choose for a while.

Seeing Ye Ci's distressed look, Baali asked with a smile: "White Elf, it seems that you are in trouble when choosing an instrument. This happens to be my strength. If you are at ease, please let me know and let me know. Share your worries and troubles for you.”

Ye Ci looked at Baal's simple and sincere look, so he nodded: "Dear Mr. Baal, I chose a musical instrument for a mermaid, and she used a harp. However, there are so many harps here, I I don't know which one to choose, do you have any good suggestions?"

When Baal heard Ye Ci's words, he tilted his head for a while and then said, "Does that mermaid have a blue tail? Blonde hair, it sounds weird?"

Ye Ci nodded quickly, it seems that the mermaid has a great reputation

. Even the Doro people on the mountain know her virtues.

"Oh, she's Leah, but she's a regular customer in our store." Baal smiled: "This guy doesn't know what's going on, he often breaks his harp. Fortunately, we didn't blame us for this. Come on, if you say that our violins are of poor quality because of this, we've been wronged enough." Baal said while flipping through the transaction interface, and soon turned to the last page, pointing to a golden harp Said, "This is what Leah needs. She buys this one every time, so you can just buy this one and give it to her."

Ye Ci looked at the harp, and it was exactly the same as the one in her hand when she met Leah just now. The light was bright and very beautiful. Ye Ci looked at the money in the package, although he didn't know the price of the piano. But the money should be enough to pay for it. "Okay, Mr. Baal, how much is this. I bought it."

"This qin is not cheap, it needs twenty pieces of ancient emerald ore in exchange." Baal looked at the qin and still looked at Ye Ci with a smile. However, his answer made Ye Ci frown: "What did you say? What about twenty dollars?"

"Ancient emerald ore." Baal nodded.

"Don't you accept money?" Ye Ci blinked.

"what money?"

"That's it." Ye Ci took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it in Baal's hand.

Baal took the gold coin and turned it over and looked at it for a long time, then put it in his mouth and bit it, and finally returned to Ye Ci with great regret: "What is this thing? What can this thing be used for? "

This is to ask Ye Ci to be dumb, what is this? This is the gold coin circulating in the game! As long as there is such a thing, all continents can walk sideways. Why can't you get here? Ye Ci couldn't believe it: "Mr. Baal, are you saying that this thing is useless for you?"

Baal spread his hands and said slowly, "Of course it's useless, White Elf, is this thing useful to you?"

Ye Ci was silent. Well, this is the primitive tribe, the occlusion here, the currency circulation here is different from the outside, but who can tell her, what should she do now? After thinking for a while, Ye Ci nodded at Baal: "Okay, Mr. Baal, I think I have to find Mr. Darufal beforehand. Let's see you later."

Baal nodded at Ye Ci, who left the animal skin tent with a salute and walked towards the huge tent in the middle of the village.

. As she walked, she couldn't help but sigh, she said, this task is not so simple, if it is just running errands, is it a bit too much to publish by an NPC above level 120, after a long time, it turns out that it is difficult at this place.

Soon, Ye Ci walked into Darufal's tent, saluted him and chatted with him for a while, Ye Ci went straight to the topic: "Mr Darufal, the gold coins of Maja Continent are here in the tribe. Is there no way to circulate?"

"Of course, we have never communicated with foreigners, we only communicate with mermaids, and mermaids don't use the currency of Maja Continent. Of course, the gold coins in your hand are useless with us." Darufal said it for granted. , I don't think this is a big deal at all.

Ye Ci sighed, it seems that if she wants to get this qin, she must first get some of their currency. "Then, Mr. Darufal, what is your currency here? Is it that ancient emerald ore?"

"Ancient emerald green ore is just one of them. To be precise, the currency in circulation here is ancient ore. The most common is ancient blood red ore. One hundred ancient blood red ore can be exchanged for one ancient sea blue ore. And one hundred ancient sea blue ore. The ore can be exchanged for one ancient golden ore, and one hundred ancient golden ore can be exchanged for one ancient emerald ore." Darufal introduced Ye Ci in detail about the monetary policy of the Doro tribe.

But after this introduction, Ye Ci felt his head buzzing loudly. No, it's not easy to get this kind of thing when you hear it. If you get all of it, it will be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

After thinking for a while, I exhaled. Thinking like this is not a solution now. In order to be able to leave this place, we still have to focus on trivial matters. It is better to get twenty pieces of ancient emerald green ore as soon as possible. She asked Darufal, "So where am I going to get these minerals?"

"You have two ways to get these things, but they both have to go deep into the bottom of Mount Breda. The first is to mine there. You will dig these ores, if you are lucky, you can get ancient emerald ore, and the other The way is to enter the dark cave at the bottom of the Breda volcano, there are many magma people in it. As long as you defeat them, you can also get these ores." Darufal smiled and explained to Ye Ci: "By the way, I have a mining hoe here. .I think you should use it."

Ye Ci took the mining hoe that Darufal handed over, only to feel as if she was tricked into a trap step by step, this feeling is really bad, why does she feel like she has become a coolie here guy.

However, despite this

. Ye Ci still had to endure it silently, who called her a player. Is the other party a high-IQ NPC? This would have been unfair.

"Go to the south of the village and find a man named Nobo. He is the general of our Doro tribe. He will take you to the bottom of Mount Breda." Darufal stopped talking to Ye Ci after explaining this. , It seems that for the time being, Ye Ci and him will not be triggering any dialogue. So Ye Ci saluted him, then exited Darufal's tent, and walked towards Nob.

Nobo was a taller man than the average Doro, and his clothes were more ornate than the average Doro. He wore a necklace of animal teeth around his neck and held a sharp spear in his hand. ** had many scars all over her body. It can be seen that this is a brave warrior who has fought bloody many times for the safety of the tribe. Ye Ci found him and explained his intention to him. Nobo was very enthusiastic. Promised to find someone to take Ye Ci to the bottom of the Breda volcano.

"White Elf, it's not that easy to get to the bottom of Mount Breda. The road there is too complicated. I wonder if you want to hire one of my clansmen as your guide?" The way to make money is very smart, he looked at Ye Ci and said with a smile.

Of course, it would be best to have a mercenary in a place like this that you have never been to before, not only can you avoid a lot of detours, but also help yourself in times of crisis. However, Ye Ci now seems to have no way to hire them, she shook her head regretfully: "Nobo, I don't have any ancient ore, not even an ancient blood red ore, but I can't afford to hire any mercenaries, I'm so sorry. ."

When Nuo Bo heard Ye Ci say this, he frowned and looked a little regretful: "I see, that's really a pity." He paused, looked at the guard behind him, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "Ah, White Elf, you are our guest, and the patriarch introduced you. If it's too raw to talk about ore, it's better than this. I will assign someone to be your mercenary. How about paying after harvest?"

Will there be such a good thing? Ye Ci didn't believe it. How could there be such a good thing in the world that the pie fell from the sky? What purpose did this Nobo do? However, Ye Ci narrowed her eyes and did not refuse immediately. She wanted to see what Nuo Bo did. So, she behaved very embarrassed: "How embarrassing, I have received very good care from Mr. Darufal. If so, wouldn't it be very immoral?"

"It's okay, White Elf, we Doro people are the most hospitable, and it's what we should do to solve your difficulties." Nobo laughed heartily, he waved, and soon someone brought a thin And some sick Doro boy walked up to Ye Ci, he pointed to the boy and said to Ye Ci: "White Elf, don't look at him small, his legs and feet can be very flexible, leading the way is not a problem, and, His price is very cheap, only 50 ancient blood red ore per day

. "

Ye Ci looked at the Doro boy, his complexion was slightly pale, and his hair was not shiny. The body is even more frail, and he is not very old. According to the standards of the Doro people, he looks like a sick child, and he is still terminally ill. In the Doro people's standards of force and strength, this child must be unqualified, or even a burden. Ye Ci didn't know why this boy was in Nob's guard, but it seemed from Nob's meaning. He didn't like this boy very much, and even wanted to get rid of this burden.

That Doro boy was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and his arms were a little thinner than the elf, who has always been known for being slender. Standing there and even dangling slightly, Ye Ci was really afraid that he would fall down and be unable to climb. Woke up. see here. Ye Ci is also a little embarrassed. Is it a good thing or a bad thing to take this child to the bottom of the volcano in Braida? Should she be held responsible if the child dies on the road

Nobo seemed to see Ye Ci's thoughts. He smiled and said, "The thing we Doro people fear the most is death. If we die in battle, it will be our honor, just like Kuta."

Ye Ci glanced at Nobo again. I sneered to myself, this guy. He seems to be very friendly, but he is not a good person. On the one hand, it suggested that Ye Ci would be fine even if the boy died, but the other side told Ye Ci that if the boy did not die, she would still have to pay the rent. This is really a bargain. If Ye Ci takes this boy away, he will be relieved of the burden when he dies. If he doesn't die, he can still make a little money. Who wouldn't want to do such a thing

Facing Ye Ci's gaze, Nobo did not hide at all, in the Doro tribe. Strength is the best right to speak, and people without strength are waste, and according to the rules of the game of the jungle. The end of waste is death. So, he didn't think he did anything wrong at all.

The Doro boy raised his drooping head. Looking at Ye Ci, his face was pale, his breathing was short, and he looked like he was really going to die. However, in his eyes, Ye Ci saw a kind of tenacity and unyielding, which is definitely not the eyes of the weak. For a moment, Ye Ci's heart didn't sway. Although she didn't know what would happen with this boy, she believed that a person with such eyes would definitely not be someone who would bow to fate casually.

So she nodded, reached out and touched the boy's head, turned to look at Nob and said, "Okay, I'll hire him, what's his name?"

"Diro." When Nobo said this, the people around him laughed slyly, Ye Ci narrowed his eyes, although she didn't know the meaning of the name, she thought, this is definitely not a good idea . "White Elf, you can just call him Delo.

. "

"Okay." Ye Ci didn't want to continue talking to Nobo, because this guy gave Ye Ci a feeling of being too snobby, which made her a little unhappy: "Then I'll go."

"Go, White Elf, go down through the entrance over there. With Delo to show you the way, you will soon reach the bottom of the Breda Crater." Nobo was obviously in a good mood, and pointed to a few points not far away. A place guarded by guards told Ye Ci.

Ye Ci took this Doro boy out to the opening. She didn't walk for a long time before she saw a huge round pit that was bottomless. The cracks in the rock were covered with lush green grass, and some rare The medicinal materials are also hidden in it. With a vibrant look, it seems that the Breda volcano is really a dead volcano, and it has not erupted for so many years.

Although the Doro boy was thin, he walked at a good speed. He took Ye Ci from an inaccessible path towards the bottom of the volcano. Ye Ci walked behind him, looking at his thin body, lost in thought, she threw a reconnaissance technique on this Doro boy, but found nothing, this boy looked ordinary. But it made Ye Ci feel a vague mystery.

"What does Delo mean?" Ye Ci looked at the boy's back and asked suddenly.

This made the Doro boy's body tremble suddenly, and then his low voice revealed his inner frustration: "Yes, yes, it means trash."

Ye Ci nodded, and it was almost as she guessed. In Destiny, each NPC has its own potential and past. If players can establish a good relationship with them, they can often get some secrets or benefits that others cannot know. Ye Ci's understanding of the Doro people is mainly from Darufal, so it is a very official and positive thing. If she wants to get the architect of this race, she is only afraid of these official positive things. is difficult. It is better to start with the child in front of him. There may be many other unknown things.

Ye Ci had already analyzed this boy just now. Since he was in Nobo's guard, it means that he either has some skills or some background. According to common sense, the former is more likely. After all, if the boy had some background, Nobo couldn't take his life and death so easily. As for why a person with some ability is still despised by Nobo, that is not what Ye Ci can know, but judging from the boy's performance. He doesn't seem to be the waste Nob said, at least, he doesn't admit it.

Therefore, as long as Ye Ci does what he likes, it is still very simple to establish a good relationship with this boy.

"What's your name?"

"Diro..." The boy's voice grew deeper and deeper

. Like a pool of stagnant water.

"Don't you think that you should be called Delo?" Ye Ci looked at the boy's back calmly, and there was some coolness in his voice.

But the boy didn't answer Ye Ci right away. He just kept silent, silent, and kept silent until Ye Ci felt that he might be wrong, then he suddenly said, "My name is Arauna." His voice was still small. Seems a little underpowered.

Ye Ci evoked a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which was very good. If she can answer her words, it means that she expected it well, and this boy has a heart that will not admit defeat. As long as he doesn't admit defeat, he will succeed sooner or later.

Ye Ci is not a talkative person, and Araunah speaks less. It is basically impossible for two people like this to talk from Tiannan to Dibei together. They went mining all the way, chatting intermittently all the way, Ye Ci finally knew the situation of Arauna.

Araunah's father was a warrior of the tribe. The mother is rarely in poor health, which is relatively rare among the Doro people. Therefore, the heavy responsibility of feeding the family fell on the shoulders of Araunah's father. In a hunting battle, his father died under the claws of a beast in order to get more food to support his wife and children. The family immediately fell into dire straits. Although the Doro people have a tradition of taking care of orphans and widows, they still care less for families with males. Araunah was the man of the family, and although he was too thin to be a Doro, he was a boy after all. Darufal could not break the long-standing rules of the tribe to give this troubled family some excessive help, so he could only arrange Araunna into Nob's guard, so that he could receive a meager share. The salary is enough for him to support his mother.

However, Nob was a man above his ability. He did not have as much compassion as Darufal. In the army, all he required was to be brave and capable, but for Araunah, he entered the army through the back door. He was greatly disliked by this guy, and the fact that Araunah couldn't compare with the strength of the Dolo people made Nob even more unhappy. Although he could not disobey Darufal's order to expel Araunna from the guards, he was embarrassed and deducted from him everywhere.

The arrival of Ye Ci just provided Nob with an opportunity to expel Araunah. Therefore, even if he paid money, he would have to drive Araunah out, not to mention that if Araunah didn't die, he could still give him money every day. Earning fifty ancient blood red ore is a good business.

This is a more tragic story, but Ye Ci doesn't feel sad. Because in this world, tragedies happen every day, how can there be so many thoughts to cry for other people's stories? What's more, Araunah himself doesn't seem to think this is a tragedy

.

"Have you ever been on the battlefield?"

"You're talking about hunting?" Arauna probably got to know Ye Ci a little more, and felt that this white elf was neither vicious nor pretentious, and she didn't wince so much when talking to her.

"Well." Anyway, the Doro people have little chance to fight with other races in this place, and the so-called battlefield is only hunting.

"I've been there, and every time Nob sent me to the front line, he probably hoped to die in battle." Araunah said this with ease, without a trace of sadness: "However, my legs are very weak. Fast, luck is also very good, every time I can return to the tribe alive."

Ye Ci nodded, and he could feel it from following Yarau for a while, that this npc's agility is very high, at least Ye Ci's agility is so high that he doesn't need to stop and wait.

In the huge deep pit of the Breda crater, there is a black ore pile distributed from top to bottom, which is very dense at the bottom of the crater. It is covered everywhere, and as you go deeper into the pit, the distribution becomes more and more rare. As the two of them went further and further down, Ye Ci would stop to mine at any time. Ancient ores would be produced in these ore piles. Of course, blood red ore was the most common, followed by sea blue ore, and even less golden ore. As for the green ore leaf word, I haven't seen it at all.

Whenever Ye Ci stopped to mine, Araunna quietly stood aside and waited for Ye Ci. He looked at Ye Ci waving the mining hoe, his eyes were quiet, and there was no trace of greed, as if Ye Ci was mining. Instead of mining it is their tribe's currency. Ye Ci dug for a while, this time luck was better. There was actually an ancient golden ore and a dozen ancient blood red ore, and she sat down to rest. And Araunah stood still. Watching around like a most competent sentinel.

Ye Ci was a little strange, she asked: "Can Yarau take these ores back and exchange them directly?"

"Yes."

"Then why don't you dig a little too?"

Araunah shook his head: "This is not my ore, it's the tribe's ore. I can't take it, and... It is impossible to drive to this ore without the hoe that has been enchanted by Lord Darufal."

I see. I can't see that this guy has his own opinion. In this case, Ye Ci will no longer force Araunah but continue mining.

.

Obviously, mining is very hard work. Although Ye Ci is very patient, she really has no interest in being a miner, and soon she doesn't want to continue doing this kind of meaningless and boring work. She remembered that Darufal said that there is another way to obtain the ore, so she decided to give it a try.

"Araunah, do you know the Dark Cave?"

"I know." Yaraona nodded, but he was a little surprised at why Ye Ci mentioned this place, but. He still didn't ask.

"Then take me there." Compared with the immobile ores, Ye Ci still felt that the ugly monsters were actually cuter.

"What are you going to do?" Although Araunah knew that it was not appropriate to ask this question, he thought about it for a while. He still asked.

"Of course I'm going to mine ore." Ye Ci glanced at Arauna. He didn't know that monsters in the dark cave would drop ancient ore.

"But. The magma people there are terrible, we will be killed!" Araunah shook his head very cautiously.

Ordinary NPCs are different from players. They only have one life. If they die, they will die. Unless there is any special resurrection technique that can revive them, it is better to hide when they are in danger. Of course Ye Ci knew about this, so she also considered Arauna's situation. She didn't want this little boy to die. What's more, she still had a lot of things she hadn't heard from him, so naturally she wouldn't take it lightly. take him to death. "Don't worry, you can just take me to the entrance of the cave, I can handle it myself, don't worry about other things."

"But, I'm your mercenary..."

Ye Ci still knew the little boy's stubbornness very well. She shook her head and rejected the little boy's proposal, then said, "You are just my mercenary, so just obey my orders."

Araunah wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. He turned around and walked in the other direction with Ye Ci.

Since it is dealing with magma people, then fire resistance potions must be indispensable. Ye Ci looked at himself, and there are many intermediate-level kang potions. It is estimated that dealing with magma people is a little difficult, but it should be enough. She doesn't know the level of the magma man for the time being, but as long as the ordinary monsters do not exceed level 80, she can handle them.

Soon, Araunah came to the dark cave with Ye Ci.

.

The entrance to the dark cave is not very large, and it is hidden behind several huge black rocks, which is difficult to find without someone familiar with the terrain to lead the way. There is no growth of plants here, there are black piles of mines everywhere, a trace of scorched.

"This is a dark cave, White Elf, do you really want to go in?" Arauna looked nervous.

"Yes."

"It's terrible inside. Nobo once brought the guards here, but in the end they lost a lot of people. Until now, we have not dared to approach here except Lord Darufal. I heard that the magma people inside are very It's amazing, the lava flowing all over the body will cook people." Arauna's expression showed a little more fear, he tried to render the terrible atmosphere in the cave according to everything he knew, and hoped that Ye Ci would not go in. To be honest, aside from his mother and Lord Darufal, this white elf is the kindest to himself, so Araunna is not willing to see what danger Ye Ci encounters.

"Araunah, are you scared?" Ye Ci looked at Araunah with a smile.

Araunna was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said honestly, "Yes. White Elf, I'm very scared. They all said it was terrifying."

"Do you know why people are afraid?" Ye Ci gently touched Arauna's hair with a very gentle voice.

Araunah shook his head. "I don't know."

"There are two reasons why people are afraid. The first is the fear of the unknown instinct, and the second is because you are too small. Where does your fear come from?" Ye Ci smiled.

Arauna raised his head and looked at Ye Ci, his eyes were extraordinarily bright, as if Ye Ci's words had opened a whole new window for him. Let him see a world he has never seen before. He thought for a while, then said, "Then are you afraid? White Elf."

"No, never." Ye Ci shook his head: "Even though I know that the other party is stronger than me, I still firmly believe that I can outsmart the other party. Of course. I'm talking about the situation where the power disparity is not big, if I face An opponent of Mr. Darufal's level. I'll try to avoid confrontation with him. Do you understand what I mean?"

Arauna looked at Ye Ci strangely, and after thinking for a while, nodded cautiously: "I understand."

Ye Ci finally touched the little boy's head again: "Okay, Arauna, just wait for me here, I will come back safely.

. "After that, she took the bow and arrow from behind and held it in her hand, and walked towards the dark cave.

The dark cave really had the same name as her. It was dark inside. It took Ye Ci a while to get used to the darkness and walked slowly forward. According to the night vision ability of the elves. Although Ye Ci can't clearly observe every detail in such a dark place, it is not difficult to see the general picture clearly.

As soon as she entered the dark cave, Ye Ci felt a sultry heat sprayed towards her face. Although it is not much hotter than the outside air, it can still feel that the environment inside is much worse than the outside.

The cave of the dark cave is too narrow. Ye Ci originally wanted to recruit the fourth child, but in such a small cave, it is estimated that the big ass of the fourth child will not be able to pass, and the third child has not been recruited for too long, so the level is relatively low, and there is absolutely no way to deal with these monsters. , So Ye Ci plans to continue to walk inside, if there is a wide or suitable place for recruiting the fourth child, he will get it out. Besides, I still don't know what's going on inside, so it's better to sneak first. In this case, even if there is a special situation, she will be better able to deal with it.

Entering the stealth state, Ye Ci slowly pushed forward along the side of the cave. As she went deeper into the cave, Ye Ci found that the temperature here was getting higher and higher, although it would cause harm to her body even if it had not yet arrived. , but her sweat had been dripping down from her forehead.

She didn't know how long she had walked, but Ye Ci heard a snoring sound. She looked along the sound and saw that there were two magma people sleeping together not far away. The snoring sound was just right. It was sent by them. And not far from them, there is a magma man walking slowly.

The magma man is not a creature made of magma, but a creature composed of huge red-burning rocks, but some stones have obviously been burned by the magma. As the magma man keeps walking, it will drip from their body. A lot of fiery red magma fell to the ground and made a sizzling sound.

This kind of magma man is not unfamiliar to Ye Ci. After all, in the later fire-type dungeons, there are still many such monsters, so I did not feel particularly nervous when I met this monster Ye Ci. That's right, the magma from this magma man will cause a lot of fire damage when it falls on the body. However, this monster is a physical attack. As long as you control his speed and keep him from getting close, it's fairly easy to fight. . Ye Ci threw a reconnaissance technique on the moving magma monster, and found that this guy is level 75, which is 15 levels higher than her, so there should be a relatively large level penalty, but she did not plan to recruit the fourth child. After all, this guy's melee damage is too high, and the fourth child may not be able to withstand it. (To be continued)
