That mysterious egg.
Ye Ci admitted that sometimes his memory is not very good, especially when his abilities are sufficient, he doesn't remember too much what he has, just like that mysterious egg. At that time, because it didn't take much effort, Ye Ci didn't take it to heart. Later, after throwing it to that strange undead NPC, she completely forgot about it. If she hadn't seen this magic crystal today, Ye Ci thought, she probably would never have thought of it.
After all, Ye Ci generally doesn't care too much about things that are better than luck, she is too dark. She didn't believe that, according to her character, she could get something out of such an egg, maybe it was a piece of garbage that had no value at all, so from the beginning to the end, she didn't put this egg at all. heart.
Now that I have seen the magic crystal, I also know that this thing is of great benefit to the city defense, so I will naturally bring some back, and then hatch the egg by the way.
"Can this thing be dug with this hoe?" In the conversation with Arauna just now, Ye Zi found that in the Doro tribe, not everyone is qualified to enter the pits of the extinct volcano Breda for collection, only Only special personnel who have been admitted by Darufal can enter, and all the ores here seem to be imprisoned by a very special thing. Even if these people enter, they cannot enter without the hoe enchanted by Darufal. Mines the ore here.
Ye Ci didn't know whether this kind of regulation was the same for him, so, in order not to waste his physical strength, before he swung his hoe. She still has to ask the locals.
"Yes." Araunah nodded: "It stands to reason that people who can dig ancient ores are not allowed to dig other ores, but you are a person authorized by Lord Darufal to enter here, so you are not allowed to mine other ores. will be bound by the provisions of this article."
"How could Darufal know if the person who dug the ancient ore had dug other ores? If all the diggers colluded, wouldn't he know?" Since it can be dug, Ye Ci will also You're welcome, just picked up the hoe and dug up the ore. Her power is not much compared to warriors and miners, so she is not too fast when mining.
Arauna pointed to the hoe in Ye Ci's hand and laughed: "Master Darufal made a special enchantment on this hoe.
. How many ores have been dug by these miners, what kind of ore they have dug, or who has touched the hoe, as long as they hand the hoe back, he will know all of them, so there will be no man-made mistakes. "
Ye Ci heard this, but a black line appeared. It turns out that the old guy actually enchanted something similar to surveillance on the hoe, which is too thief.
Ding ding dang mining is busy.
Because he has never been a miner, Ye Ci started mining casually. But after digging for a while, Araunah pointed out what was wrong with her mining. "White Elf, you must have never dug ore."
"how do you know?"
"I just found out when I saw you digging outside, you haven't done this work at all." Araunah laughed. He was originally a simple child, but because he had been with Ye Ci for a long time, he became very good. Therefore, when speaking, he is not so restrained: "Dig like this, you are wasting ore at all."
"Huh?" Ye Ci straightened her waist and wiped the sweat from her face. Since she has never been a miner, she will of course accept others' proposals humbly: "Is it wrong for me to dig like this?"
"Of course, mining stones must be dug at a time. You must use all your strength to dig down at the root of the ore, so that you can collect the most complete ore, and you will be as messy as you are. Dig. The slag is flying everywhere, and the ore is smashed to a pulp. Even if the ore is only small pieces of ore, the quality will not be very good." Yaruo took his stick and stood in front of Ye Ci to give She made a style. He said with a smile: "This way, it saves labor and can get ore quickly, and the quality of the ore obtained is very good."
Ye Ci stood behind Arauna and looked at the little boy's posture seriously, and accepted his teaching very humbly. Then when I dig again, I completely follow all his teaching methods. As expected, although the frequency of mining seems to be slower, the ore is much faster to collect. The ore obtained by Ye Ci is also larger and the quality is also lower. better.
Half an hour later, the two clusters of magic crystals were all dug up by Ye Ci. She obtained a total of nearly 100 magic crystals, both large and small, most of which are above eight, which are of high purity. .
It was getting late, although Ye Ci still wanted to go in and explore, but now the time obviously didn't allow it. Ye Ci took Araunah to the outside of the dark cave, and Araunah also took off all the shaman's things on his body and put them in a package properly.
"This is your reward today." Ye Ci took out three pieces of ancient sea blue ore and handed it to Arauna
.
Arauna looked at the ore with a surprised expression, "I have already received the reward..." He was referring to the skill book and equipment that Ye Ci gave him. These things are worth a lot of money in the tribe. He felt that today His harvest in one day has greatly exceeded his expectations, but he did not expect Ye Ci to give him three ancient sea blue ore. This made Araunah feel very sorry in his heart, and his head kept shaking.
"You take it." Ye Ci didn't want to have trouble with Araunah over such trivial matters. Although she had already brought a lot of equipment and skills to Araunah today, these things would take up space in the package. It's not necessarily how much money can be sold outside, but if you give it to Araunah, it can greatly improve his loyalty to himself. Compared to Araunna, this thing is really nothing. "Can those things be eaten? You still have a mother in your family to raise."
Ye Ci was very reasonable, and Araunah had no way to refuse. But he was still a little uneasy in his heart: "But, it's too much. My monthly salary is only fifty ancient blood red ore. You give me these now..."
Depend on. This guy, Nob, rented Araun to himself for a day's rent, but it was Arao's salary for a month. He was earning too much. Ye Ci felt a little resentful in her heart, but she didn't show it. Anyway, these things shouldn't be of much use outside, and it's no big deal to waste it here.
Ye Ci no longer talked nonsense with Arauna, but just handed the three ancient sea blue ore to Arauna, and then took him up to the crater.
Nobo was already waiting for them at the entrance. He glanced at Arauna, who was still timid, and then smiled at Ye Ci: "White Elf, how's the harvest?"
Ye Ci threw two ancient sea blue ore to Nobo: "In addition to today. I want to rent him for three more days."
This made Nob a little strange. He glanced at Araunah. He was still the same, weak and annoying, but. How could such a person be favored by the white elves? This made Nobo not particularly aware of it. After all, the IQ of such NPCs is naturally inferior to that of Darufal, and they can only think about more common problems. Definitely don't think too far.
"He didn't cause you trouble?" Nobo put the ancient sea blue ore in his hand into his pocket, looking a little strange.
"No, he has fast legs and leads the way very well." Ye Ci narrowed his eyes. Smile but not laugh.
"White Elf, your harvest looks good today
. The two were talking. Suddenly an old voice came over, Ye Ci looked up, and Darufal walked towards the two. The Doro people on one side all saluted Darufal, of course. Including Nob and Araunah.
Ye Ci also saluted Darufal, she smiled slightly, "Yes, Mr. Darufal, the harvest is good, I think I will be able to save enough ore to buy that violin for Leah soon. already."
Darufal was still smiling, and his eyes moved from Ye Ci's face to Araunah's face. Finally, he returned to Ye Ci's face. The smile on his lips looked meaningful, and his words seemed to have other meanings: "It seems. You have found some treasures that you like very much."
Ye Ci narrowed her eyes, why did she feel that the old man seemed to have already figured out his plan to fight Arauna again? Although there are no hints. But Ye Ci keenly felt that this was the beginning of an open task, and Darufal was probably testing his attitude towards Araunah. And if you want to take Araunah away, you must have the consent of the old man, and will the old man allow it? How should I answer to get the best results
This kind of dialogue to trigger the task does not give the player too much time to think. After all, if the player does not answer the other party for a long time, it will make the other party's NPC very unhappy. So Ye Ci simply thought about it and made a choice. She stretched out her hand and placed it lightly on Arauna's head. After gently stroking it a few times, she smiled and said to Darufal: " A baby will always be a baby, and even if he's hiding in the dust now, I think he'll shine one day even if I don't find it."
Ye Ci's answer seemed to satisfy Darufal, the shrewd light in his eyes gradually faded away, he nodded, and then said to Araunah: "Araunah, if possible, can you invite this Is the white elf visiting your house?"
"Is this ok? Lord Darufal, I'm afraid our family can't entertain such a distinguished guest." Arauna looked very surprised, he looked at Darufal with a smile on his face.
"Of course, this is a small task I gave you." Darufal nodded, although he gave Ye Ci the feeling that he was a strong, shrewd and extremely difficult guy to deal with, but he treated the people in the tribe. Surprisingly good: "I have asked the guards to deliver the things of the guests to be entertained to your mother, you should go back quickly."
Araunah nodded, then said to Ye Ci, "White Elf, my home is in the northwest corner of the tribe. I'll go and help my mother clean up first, and I'll pick you up later."
Ye Ci nodded, and Arauna left happily.
Darufal was still standing there, he looked at Ye Ci quietly, and after a long time he said: "Your calm can't hide your **
. "
Ye Ci was slightly startled, but then smiled: "In front of you, I didn't plan to hide it, Dear Darufal."
"Your eyes remind me of my brother." Darufal didn't answer right away, he just looked at Ye Ci quietly and said slowly, "He is also full of sex." After that, he said, He sighed: "I hope you can get what you want."
Looking at Darufal's back, turning away, Ye Ci saluted again. Then he straightened his body slowly. Her hearing was good, and it was easy to hear the people behind the Nob Guards talking.
"Lord Darufal is trying to take care of the Arauna family again, it's really annoying!"
"That's right, that bastard can't do anything, but because his mother is a widow, he was taken care of by Lord Darufal. Hmph, it's too much!"
"How can there be such a weak and cheeky person among us Doro!"
…
Ye Ci looked back at the Doro people who were whispering, and they immediately dispersed. Then she looked in the direction where Darufal disappeared, lost in thought.
Darufal must know something, otherwise. He wouldn't say something so inexplicable. However, Ye Ci was not afraid that Darufal knew that she was interested in Araunah. She was more concerned about another thing. The treasure that Darufal said must be referring to Araunah. And why did he call Araunah a treasure? Was it because Araunah's father died in battle? No, not possible, in this primitive tribe. Orphans and widows should be common. However, why did Darufal take Araunah so seriously
Is it...
Ye Ci's heart moved, and she remembered what Araunah had said. He would often secretly watch Darufal practice spells at night, so he secretly learned a lot of skills. Darufal is at least a boss-level NPC of level 120 or above. It is impossible for such a character to be unaware of Araunah's concealment, but he did not stop Araunah. That can only illustrate one problem. Darufal was already Araunah and a shaman! Moreover, he also indulged Araunna to learn all kinds of shaman skills on his own body!
Think of it this way. All the mysteries are completely opened
.
Although I don't know what Darufal's thoughts are now, but being able to figure out this issue, Ye Ci still feels that it plays a crucial role in whether he can finally take Arauna into his pocket.
Darufal really took good care of Araunna's mother and son, and just the meat and other things sent took up a third of the small tent. Araunah and a thin woman squatted in front of the pile of things and carefully sorted them out. It was obvious that the woman was Araunah's mother.
When Arauna found Ye Ci, she jumped up excitedly, pulled her mother over and over again, and introduced her to Ye Ci. Ye Ci looked at this Doro woman and thought, Araunna's thinness was indeed inherited from this woman. Unlike the general strong Doro people. She looked very slender, but in good spirits. With a gentle smile on her face, she said humbly and tenderly to Ye Ci, "Respected White Elf. Thank you for your concern for Araunah."
Ye Ci calmly threw a reconnaissance technique on the woman, probably because of Araunna's relationship. This woman's initial favorability toward herself is actually closeness, so Ye Ci can easily observe her attributes. Her name is Yolan, and her level is only forty, but she has many specialties, including construction specialization and engineering specialization. And in her social situation, Ye Ci is still jealous: slave.
It seems that Yoran is different from Arauna. She has no ability to fight and can be an NPC. Therefore, she cannot be a mercenary, but can only be a slave. Ye Ci couldn't help but start to think that if he could get these two mothers and sons, it would be of great benefit to Tiantian and his own development.
She was gossiping with Joran, and at this moment, a little girl came in from outside the tent. The little girl was thinner than Raunah and looked younger. She was carrying a pottery in her hand. Jar, it's going a little hard. Araunah saw her coming in, and hurried up to meet her, quickly took the clay pot from her hand, and walked towards the water tank in the corner of the tent, then poured the water in the pot into the water tank. He smiled and introduced to Ye Ci: "This is my sister, Mara."
Mara seemed to be much more reserved than Rauna. She looked at Ye Ci with a shy blush on her face, and kept hiding behind her brother. Ye Ci showed her very tenderness and let this The little girl didn't seem so scared anymore. Because of the influence of her mother and brother, Mara's initial favorability for Ye Ci is also close, which allows Ye Ci to easily query her character attributes. However, Mara's appearance still surprised Ye Ci, because from the beginning to now, Ye Ci never thought that Arauna has a younger sister.
Mara's level is lower than Yolan's, only 30th level, but she has the specialization of drawing, writing and pharmacy. This made Ye Ci very surprised. I didn't expect this little NPC to have these three specialties.
. Drawing Specialization is a relatively rare life skill in Destiny. Because drawing is only used when copying engineering and architectural drawings, it is basically useless, and it takes a lot of time and energy to practice this life skill. As for the writing specialization, it is much more widely used. The most commonly used one is to copy the skill book. However, the skill books copied by the player are rarely unbound. Therefore, this greatly restricts the writing specialization. promotion. Of course, there are also mages who can copy a lot of scrolls for sale after learning the life skill of writing, but it is not easy to practice the life skill of writing in the early stage. After all, there are very few skill books and skills that can be written.
However, if it is an NPC, there is no such restriction at all, and everything they write is not bound, it seems. If you can get this little girl, Ye Ciguang will make a fortune if she sells skill books and scrolls in the future.
The more I think about it. Ye Ci felt as uncomfortable as a hundred claws grasping his heart, and wished he could take away the whole family of three immediately.
Ye Ci was looking for a topic with Yolan and Mara, although the favorability increased, but not much. This made Ye Ci a little distressed, before leaving the Doro tribe. I wonder if it is possible to achieve loyalty in the favorability of this family of three
Ye Ci went offline for dinner and then came back. It was time for Yolan's family to rest. Yolan gave Ye Ci the best place in the house to rest, and he slept in the corner with his two children. There was a dilapidated bookshelf with many books and drawings stacked on it. Ran and Mara regularly read and study techniques in this place.
Wan Lai was silent. Ye Ci went online originally to improve the relationship with Yolan and Mara, but now, the mother and daughter are obviously asleep, it seems. There is no way today.
Ye Ci was about to go offline when she heard a rustling voice in the corner, and she slowly turned her head to look. I saw Araunna sitting up, and he called his mother and sister in a low voice. Finding no response from the two of them, they quickly got up and walked out of the tent lightly.
After Ya Lao took it out, Ye Ci also sat up. She looked at the entrance of the tent for a while, and sat up without hesitation, and followed Yarau with a sneak and took it out.
Araunah was very careful. His route was a very remote path. This route would bypass all the patrolling guards in the Doro tribe and go around. In the end, Araunah hid behind an altar-like building. The way he probed his head seemed to have some purpose. Ye Ci followed him all the way, and is now hiding behind a low tree not far from him. In fact, she didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to know if the purpose of Arao's bringing it here was in line with her guess.
It didn't take long for a figure to appear on the altar, and Ye Ci could tell at a glance that this person was Darufal
. He stood on the altar and seemed to pray another prayer. After that, he began to practice the skills of the shaman. Araunah was completely attracted. While watching Darufal's spells and totems, he unconsciously learned from Darufal's movements. His ability to learn is extremely strong, and Darufal's gestures, steps, and various tricks of spellcasting are all learned by Araunah.
Suddenly Ye Ci noticed something changed, she turned back at the speed of wind and thunder, the dagger in her hand had already shot, and it was placed on the opponent's neck. After she could see who was coming, she let out a breath, put away her dagger, and asked in a low voice, "Yolan, Mara, why did you come here?"
"You, have you discovered Arauna's secret?" Yoran looked at Ye Ci nervously, and could see that Arauna secretly learned Darufal's skills. Yoran and her daughter had always known.
"Well." Ye Ci turned his head to look at Arauna and Darufal in the distance, a little absent-minded.
"Then, will you tell Lord Darufal..." Yoran became more and more nervous, clutching her clothes tightly with both hands, looking panicked. Her performance made Ye Ci somewhat strange. She glanced at Yolan, who begged in a low voice: "Please, please, Lord White Elf, please don't tell this matter. Anyone, I know, according to people like us, is not qualified to learn shaman, but Araunah is so obsessed. I can't see his desperate eyes, and I can't refuse him..."
Yoran's voice was low, and tears flashed in his eyes, and he could tell that this was a great mother. "If, if you must tell others, please put all this on me, and don't let people know about Araunah, please, please..."
Whether it's a game or not, a mother's love is touching.
Ye Ci reached out and held Yolan's hand. The voice was warm and peaceful, comforting her: "I always knew that Araunah was a shaman."
"Ah!" Ye Ci's words surprised Yolan, and she panicked even more, trembling all over, you could see it. If this matter is leaked, the Doro tribe has some rules that will make life worse for the family.
But Ye Ci quickly dispelled her doubts: "Don't worry, I won't tell Araunah about it. I won't even tell Arauna what I saw."
Yolan took a breath and looked at the white elf in front of her. She couldn't believe that this white elf would actually agree to her proposal.
. Even, he even helped himself to hide it. She twitched her lips. It took me a long time to say, "Why do you want to help me?"
"I'm not helping you." Ye Ci turned to look at Arauna's excited look and smiled: "I just understand Arauna's excitement and devotion. There is nothing in this world that can compare to It's more fun to do what you love the most."
Yoran covered the corners of her mouth, she could see that she was very moved, and then Ye Ci unexpectedly heard that Yoran and Mara had a high degree of trust in her. This favorability level is only one step away from loyalty. I have to say that this is the result that Ye Ci did not expect. Ye Ci looked at Yolan and Mara in surprise, and saw them looking at Ye Ci gratefully: "Thank you, White Elf."
Ye Ci was stunned for a moment. But he turned his head to look at Darufal on the altar and smiled slightly. In fact, Darufal already knew about it. Darufal is such a powerful shaman. Even if there is no monitoring totem inserted for searching, even if he has his own perception, he probably already knows the arrival of himself and Yolan Mara. Not only did he not call anyone, but he continued to practice his skills in front of Araunah like this, which showed that he knew this at all. Not only that, maybe Araunah didn't find it, but Ye Ci has already discovered that all the skills that Darufal is practicing are some low-level or intermediate-level shaman skills, and there are no advanced or super skills at all. The great shaman who gave up those skills and practiced some simple skills can only explain two problems, either these skills have special use, or they are used for teaching.
From the current situation, it is obviously the second.
Not only did Darufal discover Araunah, but he was teaching the child how to be a shaman in his own way.
It all seemed so seamless. Yoran thought that Darufal did not know what he had discovered, and Araunah thought that Darufal and Joran did not know what he had done. As for Darufal, he knew all this and acted as if he knew nothing.
Ye Ci smiled. In fact, sometimes NPCs are not as simple as players think.
"Let's go back, don't disturb Arauna's practice." Ye Ci finally retracted his gaze and said to Joran and Mara, "Don't worry about him, he will definitely come back safely."
Yoran and Mara nodded and left here with Ye Ci.
At this time, Darufal, who had been facing the contact skills of several people, showed a gentle smile on his lips that ordinary people could not detect.
Ye Ci's mining career continues, she takes Arauna to continue exploring the dark cave
. As soon as he entered the cave, Araunah put on the shaman's equipment. With the support of Ye Ci, Araunah's practice of the profession of shaman was fully displayed in the dark cave. He will use all the skills he has learned from Darufal in actual combat, and he will continue to adjust the way of fighting according to his own perception. Although it is only two days, his grasp of skills and techniques has become so experienced. Ye Ci was envious and jealous.
Sure enough, it's an NPC, everything has the most accurate support of the system, and he can be promoted to the master or even the top level so quickly, how can you not make Ye Ci envious.
However, this is really beneficial for Ye Ci. Originally, Ye Ci was the main attacker among the two, but now it has basically become Arauna. As long as there are no more than three monsters, Araunna can easily handle it, and Ye Ci only needs to sweat on the side to mine and collect equipment according to experience. Arauna is an NPC, and his ability and level are not restricted by any expansion, so. The experience points he got can keep rising, and after two or three days, his level has actually reached level 69, and the equipment on his body has changed from guns to guns, and walking in the dark cave is even more handy.
Although the magma people in the dark caves will drop a lot of ancient ores, the highest level is only ancient golden ore, more ancient blood red ore and ancient sea blue ore, and ancient green ore is not seen once. Pass. This made Ye Ci a little upset. To collect 20 ancient emerald green ore, it would take 2,000 ancient golden ore. But now, she only has more than 200 coins in her hand. If it goes on like this, she doesn't know that she will be able to collect all of them in the Year of the Monkey, and she will not be able to leave here until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon.
These days in the Doro tribe. The relationship between Ye Ci and the majority of Doro people is not bad. After all, he was a person who received the courtesy of Darufal, and he still enjoyed it quite a bit in the Doro tribe. In particular, Ye Ci went to chat with Darufal every day. And Darufal, who has always been indifferent, has patience with Ye Ci for some reason.
Another day has ended. Ye Ci's harvest was not very good this day. After all, he only got more than 80 pieces of ancient golden ore, which is 2,000 pieces away from the line. Still far. Every day, Ye Ci has to return the hoe to Darufal, who will re-enchant it. Give it to Ye Ci the next day. This is a customary rule. Ye Ci is actually looking forward to this time, because her reputation in the Doro tribe has reached respect, but she is only one step away from respect, and it seems that she will never rise. However, being able to talk to Darufal more means that there are more opportunities to improve one's reputation in the Doro tribe. Although nothing special has happened so far, it does not mean that there is no chance.
Darufal took back the hoe in Ye Ci's hand. Then he smiled and said to Ye Ci: "White Elf, it's been a while since you came to our Doro tribe. I want to ask you. Do you agree with your opinion of our tribe?"
At this time, a choice clearly appeared in front of Ye Ci.
. Yes or no.
Ye Ci thought for a while, this seems to be a choice, maybe it is an opportunity, if she can answer the answer in Darufal's heart, maybe she can get unexpected benefits. So Ye Ci chose yes without hesitation. But before answering the question, Ye Ci still felt that something needed to be said up front, she saluted Darufal, and then said respectfully: "Dear Mr. Darufal, before answering your question, I want to clarify one thing first, okay?"
"what?"
"I will answer honestly to the questions that Mr. Darufal wants to ask me, but sometimes the honest answer is not necessarily pleasing, so if my answer makes Mr. Darufal feel unpleasant for a while, I will also Please don't take anger on me." Ye Ci said this with a purpose, such an agreement is equivalent to a prudent agreement between himself and Darufal under the witness of the main system of destiny, if Darufal agrees to this agreement , as long as Ye Ci tells the truth, then even if he is unhappy because of Ye Ci's answer, it will not reduce Ye Ci's reputation in the Doro tribe.
This little trick was often used by players on NPCs in the last life, but in this life, no player has used it like this.
Darufal looked at Ye Ci and nodded: "Of course, White Elf."
Then Ye Ci heard a few sounds in his ears, which meant that the main system had accepted the agreement. During this period, Ye Ci cannot lie, and Darufal cannot reduce Ye Ci's current reputation in the Doro tribe.
"What kind of tribe do you think the Doro tribe is?" Darufal asked.
"It's a tribe that is closed and not closed." Ye Ci replied with a smile, she looked at Darufal's puzzled eyes and began to explain: "The position of the Doro tribe is closed, but the people of the Doro tribe have The way of life is the same as that of people outside, although it may be a little primitive in life, but it is not blocked in terms of economy, military and some consciousness."
Darufal nodded, and was satisfied with Ye Ci's answer. Then he asked a few more questions. Of course, Ye Ci's answers were very objective. Although some of the answers were a bit sharp, it did not make Darufal show that. What a displeased.
