Chapter 261: Forbidden place

"The last question." Darufal stood up, and he looked at Ye Ci from a distance with a very cautious look on his face, which made Ye Ci feel that the answer to this question might not be so easy to answer. "What do you think of Araunah?"

This question was completely beyond Ye Ci's expectations. In fact, Ye Ci could have guessed the first few questions. After all, the conversation with this kind of tribal boss is basically an official transition, as long as you master certain rules, and then If you master a little skill when speaking, there is usually no problem

. It was just the last question that made Ye Ci stunned. She knew intuitively that this question was related to whether she could take Araunah away. She closed her mouth, raised her eyes, looked at Darufal calmly and rationally, and after a while, she smiled.

"He will be an excellent shaman." Ye Ci replied.

Ye Ci's answer made Darufal's face indifferent. He just looked at Ye Ci quietly, with no expression on his face, and his eyes became sharp, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. Under such eyes, Ye Ci didn't appear nervous, and even acted very relaxed. She smiled at Darufal, as if she didn't take his strictness to heart.

After a while, Darufal exhaled slowly, looking a little helpless: "He is just a warrior."

"Yes, in the Doro tribe, Arauna can only be a warrior forever." Ye Ci nodded. After staying here for a long time, Ye Ci also understood the rules of the Doro tribe. Araunah was not wrong, only the children of high-status people are eligible to learn shaman, and the low-status poor can never match, even if he has an excellent talent. It's also not possible, that's why Ye Ci feels that the Doluo tribe is still very closed.

Darufal is the wisest NPC in the entire Doro tribe. How could he not understand Ye Ci's words? He looked at Ye Ci and sighed: "White Elf, in fact, you already know it."

"Yes, Lord Darufal, I know all about it." Ye Ci did not deny it, "I know everything."

"Why didn't you ask me? You often have the opportunity to see me alone." Darufal sat down again.

"When I ask you, it means I'm exposing it to you. And the result of doing so is to take away Araunah's dream. I can't do this, I can't take away a person's dream, especially if it's a dream for Araunah. Araunna is so precious." Ye Ci shook her head and answered Darufal's question in a game-specific language, she thought. Darufal will definitely understand the twists and turns of her words.

"You are a kind and wise person." Darufal looked at Ye Ci, and finally sighed after a long time. At this time, Ye Ci also heard the prompt given to her by the system, and her reputation in the Doro tribe reached respect. And Darufal's favorability for her has also reached intimacy.

This means that Ye Ci can see Darufal's attributes. Ye Ci quietly threw a reconnaissance technique to Darufal without hesitation, but the attributes she saw made her speechless. Darufal's level has actually reached level 240! Occupation where the legendary great shaman is written. This means that his level of strength is far higher than Ye Ci thought, and the number of blood and blue makes the number of zeros behind him terrifying.

. face such a boss. It means that if you want to overthrow him, if there is not an elite team with more than 3,000 people and a level of more than 240, you should not think about this problem at all.

Ye Ci looked at the staff in Darufal's hand with a pity, and sighed secretly, it seems that the artifact is just a legend after all.

And Darufal's social attributes are written: Doro tribe leader.

This is the identity determined by the system to Darufal, which means that Darufal cannot be hired or enslaved at all, and of course it is impossible to use his power unless there is an opportunity.

"I saw ** in your eyes. My intuition tells me that you want to take Arauna." Darufal pointed out Ye Ci's inner thoughts very rudely.

Ye Ci smiled slyly: "Is this question still in the question you just wanted to know? Mr. Darufal?"

Darufal was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "No. But, I want to know the answer. Your real answer."

Ye Ci nodded, not caring that Darufal had seen through his mind: "Of course, Mr. Darufal, I want to take Arauna and take him to see the outside world, Just like what your brother yearned for back then."

The mention of Kuta gave Darufal a sad look on his face: "If he hadn't left the tribe, he might never have died..."

"However, he has won the respect of the entire Marga Continent. His existence is equivalent to telling everyone that the Doro tribe is a great tribe, and the Doro people are a group of great people. I understand that you do not want Kuta to leave the tribe. However, I also know that even so, you are still collecting information from the outside, aren't you?"

"How do you know?" Darufal was a little surprised.

Ye Ci smiled and didn't answer Darufal. She couldn't tell Darufal that she checked the forum and website after she went offline. She can't say that there is another sentence after the introduction of Kuta on the website. Kuta's younger brother seems to be very curious about the outside world, so he has collected a lot of books on the Maja continent. So Ye Ci changed the topic: "I understand that it may be the best way of life for the Doro tribe, but in this way of life, Araunah will definitely lose his dream in the end. I like this Child, I want to fulfill his dream, and this dream will never be fulfilled in the Doro tribe." Having said that, Ye Ci glanced at Darufal again, and said somewhat rudely: "I think, Mr. Darufal , you should know, if you don't let me take Araunna, how cruel you are doing all this now, you give him his dream, and then kill him with your own hands

. As for you, you have cultivated a genius shaman with your own hands, and then killed him with your own hands. Is this the result you want? "

Ye Ci spread his hands and looked at Darufal with a slight smile. She thought that Darufal would agree with her statement. Because these are the answers Ye Ci got after analyzing Darufal's mind in many ways these days. Darufal is actually very contradictory now, but he has a fluke mentality. He hopes that Arauna can become a legendary shaman. Although he knows it is impossible in the tribe, he is reluctant to let such a man go. Good seedlings, so I came to test Ye Ci.

As long as Ye Ci points out this matter, he can face the key to the problem head-on than Darufal. There is no way for Darufal to continue to deceive himself, he must make a choice among his own contradictions. At this point, everything Ye Ci can do is done. As for whether he can take Araunah and his mother and sister, it all depends on how the system arranges it.

Do your best. Listen to destiny.

"I need to think about it." Darufal's words were obviously meant to let Ye Ci go. Of course, Ye Ci would not continue to rely on it, she nodded. He saluted at Darufal, and then prepared to leave. As she was about to leave, she heard Darufal say again: "There are many people in the tribe who need your help, White Elf. You can help them if you want."

very good. Finally there is a task to do here.

Standing outside the Darufal tent, Ye Ci looked around and saw that many NPCs had a golden symbol on their heads, which meant that this NPC had tasks to take. Although this kind of quest is an ordinary quest, it is incomparable to hiding any and side quests, but it is the best way to increase prestige, and Ye Ci will naturally not refuse.

These tasks are not difficult, Ye Ci can easily do it alone, in addition to getting a lot of reputation from the Doro tribe, Ye Ci also harvested a lot of ancient ores. It's not much, but it's better than nothing. Although Ye Ci's reputation in the Doro tribe has increased, Ye Ci can finally open various NPCs in the Doro tribe. It's really heartwarming. Elsewhere, opening these commercial NPCs just needs to be friendly. However, in the Doro tribe, you have to reach a respected reputation to open it.

However, after opening the NPC here, Ye Ci really felt that he was willing to die.

Although the Doro tribe is very closed, the things sold here are definitely the best. Let’s look at the equipment first, none of them are under purple, and there are all kinds of professions, but the price is not cheap. Ye Ci looked at these equipment, although they are all fine, but they can be bought outside , so, these things are definitely not within the consideration of leaf words

. The time she spent in the Doro tribe was limited, and the ancient ores in her hands were even more limited. She could only spend all the money on the blade so that it could not be considered a waste.

After browsing weapon npc, armor npc and medicine npc. Ye Ci has no choice, although some things are rare, but they are not worth buying. Finally, she turned her attention to the grocery NPC. In such small tribes or villages or camps, grocers generally represent a hodgepodge. Because there is no way to divide commercial NPCs in detail in these places, grocery NPCs can cover a lot of information, from recipes to skill books to some needle-headed gadgets, grocery NPCs will be prepared.

Therefore, Ye Ci has very high hopes for this grocery NPC. If you can buy some recipes and skill books that cannot be bought elsewhere, that would be the best.

Unlike other commercial NPCs that only have a dozen pages of sales lists, this grocery NPC's sales list actually stretches to hundreds of pages! There are good things in each page that make Ye Ci jealous, so she can't wait to buy all these things. But this is impossible, not to mention that Leah's task requires twenty pieces of ancient emerald ore, and she has not completed it. Even if it is completed, she probably won't have that much spare money in her hands.

It was as if Ye Ci saw a table full of Chinese foodies through a glass. The feeling that life was worse than death made her really want to hit the wall. The more she looked at these things, the more she had an urge to cry, how could she be poor wherever she went!

On the penultimate page of the grocery NPC's sales list, Ye Ci suddenly saw something: a master key.

She clicked on the properties of the master key, and her heart skipped a beat.

Master Key: Orange equipment, can open all treasure chests below level 12, the only item, can be upgraded and cannot be discarded.

There are a lot of treasure chests in Destiny. However, these treasure chests are basically locked, and it is not easy to create keys, so basically the treasure chests are prepared for thieves, which seems to have become a conventional rule. Therefore, although Ye Ci often sees the treasure chest, but because he can't open it, even if he knows there are good things in it, he can only pretend that he didn't see it. Who told him not to open the lock.

If there is such a thing... Doesn't it mean that all treasure chests that Ye Ci sees in the future can be opened!

The treasure chests in Destiny are divided into fifteen levels in total, and treasure chests from one to twelve levels may be distributed anywhere, of course

. The location of treasure chests above level 9 is very dangerous, and there are often powerful monsters guarding them. The treasure chests above level 12 only exist around the boss of the super large copy, or the boss of the advanced hidden map, which belongs to the kind of thing that you can only see and get when the boss is not dead.

There have been few treasure chests above level 12 in the last life, and even if there are not thousands of people, don't even think about getting them. Therefore, Ye Ci is not envious at all, and compared to the treasure chests of this level to the twelfth level, there are many. According to Ye Ci's current concealment level, at least all the treasure chests below the ninth level can be obtained. As for the tenth to twelfth level treasure chests, it can only be said that it depends on the situation.

Now there is this thing. Ye Ci is afraid that he will be able to fight for a job with many thieves. You don't have to buy anything else, but this one must be bought! Ye Ci looked at the price of this if. You need three ancient emerald green ore, and the ore in Ye Ci's hand can be paid, but she is somewhat reluctant. Now that she bought this thing, I am afraid that she will be delayed for a few more days on this map. But if she didn't buy it, she felt that she must hate herself.

Therefore, Ye Ci didn't struggle for too long, so she bought this master key without hesitation. But after the master key was put into her package, Ye Ci found out that the entire grocery NPC's receipt list had to be moved up one level to the front. In other words, there is only one master key, and there is no extra.

This realization surprised Ye Ci. Is this all the stuff on this cargo list? She saw the only prompt on the master key just now, and thought it meant that this thing was unique to the player. But I didn't expect that it is also the only one for this grocery NPC! Ye Ci immediately flipped through the other items on the grocery list, and sure enough, most of the items were written as unique items. It seems that these things are not only rare for players, but even more rare for NPCs!

Ye Ci has never been so entangled as it is now. There are two paths in front of her now. The first path is to stay here for a long time until enough ancient ores are collected to buy all these unique items. The second way is to recklessly complete Mermaid Leah's mission, leave here to go to the northern continent, and take the last mithril vein in her pocket. The consequence of this is that she doesn't know if she can come back here.

Unique Items vs Mithril Veins.

This made Ye Ci fall into an unprecedented tangle, and she thought about it for a long time without thinking of a better way.

In the end, she sighed. Anyway, Darufal has not given her the final answer on the matter of Araunna for the time being, and she has not collected enough ancient emerald ore. Now she is wondering which way to go. The question is really a bit early, it's better to continue exploring the dark cave.

The dark cave seems to have reached its deepest point

.

But what makes Ye Ci strange is that such a deep, roundabout, and twisted cave has reached the deepest point like this? Why is there no boss? Don't say boss, why not even an elite monster? This seems to be a bit against the rules of the game in general.

The Dark Cave is definitely not an ordinary map. Although no one has ever said that, Ye Ci thought so in her heart, and her intuition told her that this perception was not wrong, but when she once again took Arauna around in the dark cave When she went, she found nothing.

The magic crystal has not been refreshed, and the magma man has not been refreshed. The entire dark cave was dark, only the scorching heat waves rushed towards the face of the people, and there seemed to be nothing else. Ye Ci finished digging the last magic crystal, and looked at it, its properties were not bad, it was the size of a fist, and its fineness reached nine. Such a large crystal and such a good fineness, in fact, the crystal she had dug these days. Not much in. She sat down and began to rest, took out two pieces of meat, threw one to Araau, and kept one for herself.

Araunah took the meat and began to shove it into his mouth.

Now the relationship between Arauna and Ye Ci is already very good. Coupled with Ye Ci's deliberate ingratitude to him and his family, his favorability toward Ye Ci was only a few points away from being loyal. However, at these points, no matter what Ye Ci did, he would not be able to rise up.

Ye Ci thought, this is probably the same as Yolan's favorability. She lacks an opportunity. If she finds that opportunity, I believe she can easily achieve loyalty.

"Is this the end of the dark cave?" Ye Ci asked Arauna, who was sitting not far away from her, with her head tilted. She looked at the ancient ore on her body, and was very concerned about the fact that it had reached the end. dissatisfied.

Araunah scratched his hair. While stuffing meat into his mouth, he shook his head: "I don't know, but I've never been here before. You know, a guard like me would never have followed Nob to this place."

Araunah was right. A low-level guard like him who has no ability and no background, even if he can participate in the battle, it is only some ordinary battles to hunt and kill prey. And exploring the dark cave is definitely not Araunah's turn.

"Okay, let's take a break, and then go out to dig." Now that the dark cave has come to an end. At least the time to see it has come to an end, so Ye Ci will not continue to waste time staying here. Explore. In normal times, she might search the cave for three feet, but now, she has no such interest at all. After all, the most important thing for Ye Ci now is to "save money" quickly

.

Ye Ci stuffed the last piece of barbecue into his mouth, then took out a pot of spring water from the package and poured it into his mouth, allowing his physical strength to slowly recover. Araunah also took out a pot of spring water and poured it into his mouth. After the rest, both of them stood up. I plan to go out like this.

However, before he could move, Ye Ci heard something.

Araunah is a shaman. If the perception totem is not bad, his perception is definitely not as good as that of the hunter. Now he is standing behind Ye Ci. Looking at Ye Ci's long pointed ears with interest, he felt very rare. After all, the Doro people are a mixture of humans and barbarians. Araunna, a child who has lived in the tribe since childhood, has never seen any foreigners except mermaids. Therefore, although Arauna was already familiar with Ye Ci, he was still curious about the elves.

He looked at Ye Ci's ears and shook it a few times. He couldn't close his mouth in surprise. He even raised his hand and stroked his ears to see if they could be like the white elf in front of him. Move smartly.

It's not surprising that the ears of elves can move. Elves are a race that lives in nature. They are naturally very sensitive to sound, so when they hear sounds that are different from the surrounding environment, their ears are naturally will move. And this time is also the time when the elves' perception is high.

Just when Arauna was full of interest and curiosity about Ye Ci's ears, Ye Ci went into hiding. She stared at the corner of the dark cave, where she seemed to hear something just now.

"White Elf, what's wrong?" Seeing that Ye Ci suddenly entered a hidden state, this made Araunah a little uneasy. He quickly hid behind a stone and asked in a low voice.

"Go to the back, find a hidden corner to hide, don't make any noise, I'll take a look." Ye Ci turned back and whispered to Arauna.

"But..." Araunah didn't know what was going on, and was a little nervous.

Ye Ci shook his head and comforted him with a smile: "It doesn't matter, you can rest assured, go to the corner over there, find a corner where no one has found, and hide until I call you, and you will come out again."

Araunah trusted Ye Ci very much. He nodded and rushed towards the deepest corner, then found a narrow and hard-to-find stone crevice and hid it.

. Ye Ci glanced at the place where Arauna was hiding, it was really difficult for him, such a small gap, if it was replaced by a strong Doro child, it is estimated that it would not be able to fit in at all.

After confirming that Araunna was hidden, Ye Ci began to slowly rush away towards the place where there was a fine sound. When she entered the hidden state, her movement speed was reduced by 30%, but because Ye Ci's speed was not slow at ordinary times, even if she entered the stealth state, she quickly approached the place where the sound was made outside.

After finding a hidden stone, Ye Ci hid behind and listened carefully.

The sound comes from some people. And the number of these people should be quite large. There are probably more than ten or twenty people just listening to their various footsteps. Their feet are heavy and powerful, and they appear to be people who often do strength work. Of course, Ye Ci knows that these people are definitely not players, and even players can't have so many players at one time. So, these people are definitely people from the Doro tribe, but Ye Ci still doesn't know what they are like. people.

They were still far apart, and the dark cave was very narrow, so the echoes of their words were mixed with the echoes of their footsteps. It's hard for people to hear it, Ye Ci turned his ear to the side to distinguish it carefully, and then he understood it more or less.

"Why is this dark cave so clean?"

"Didn't you see the bodies of magma people everywhere?"

"Yo, I didn't expect that the white elf to be so powerful, to beat all the magma people here like this."

"The only pity is that the Deiro in Arauna has not died yet. I hate it. Every time I see him, I seem to see the shame of the Doro. I heard that the white elf brought him to the dark cave. I thought he was going to die. Undoubtedly, I didn't expect his life to be so great."

"I think that white elf must be a fool."

"why?"

"If it hadn't been so hard to bring a Delo to the dark cave, she must have worked very hard."

"How can we people understand the idea of a fool?"

They were talking and laughing. Ye Ci carefully distinguished their voices and felt very familiar. It seems that people in the Nob Guard should be

. Ye Ci was a little upset about the bad things they said about Araunah. How could this kind of tongue-in-cheek thing happen? Even in NPCs, it was no exception at all.

However, these are nothing, just listen to them, Ye Ci is a little strange, why did these Nobo Guards enter the dark cave? Ye Ci has not forgotten, Araunah once said. The magma people in the dark cave were very destructive to the Nobo guards. Nobo once led the team here, but in the end they were killed and returned. Come to think of it. The magma man is extremely harmful to melee combat, because he and Arauna are both long-range. That's why it's so easy to play, but when you switch to a melee team, if you don't have a strong healing profession, it's really a bit hard to play this thing. If so, what are they doing here

Just when Ye Ci was curious, they were getting closer and closer: "No, this white elf is so powerful, and all the magma people came here to clean up."

"Hmph, not only did the magma people clean up, but also the magic crystals."

"I don't understand why Lord Darufal indulges this white elf so much, how can she allow her to be so presumptuous in our territory, digging and digging crystals, and still able to walk into this dark cave, is it Daru? Lord Farr forgot, this dark cave is a forbidden place for us Doro people!"

"Shh. What are you talking about? Are you the only one who knows about this? Don't talk nonsense. If the white elf hears it, how can you go back and explain it!"

Hearing this, the Doro man who complained just now also lowered his voice and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "I said, we have been in for so long, and we haven't seen the White Elf and Araunah. Are they still here?"

"How do I know, if she wasn't there, she probably took Yarau out to dig outside."

"Well, the temperature here is really hot, it's really uncomfortable to stay here, let's check if that thing has been found by them, and go back quickly. If Lord Darufal knows that we have come to the dark cave without his consent If so, we will be blamed."

"Afraid of what the old man is doing? The old man will talk nonsense all day long. I think he has grown like that, and it is estimated that he will not live much longer. The future patriarch will definitely be Lord Nobo, we just need to obey Lord Nobo. The arrangement is fine.”

"Although I say so, but the current patriarch is Darufal after all, if let him know that Lord Nobo let us come here, he will definitely be angry, and Lord Nobo may not have a chance to save us by then. ."

Their voices became lower and lower, and Ye Ci gradually became unclear, but her mind was full of the information brought by these words.

.

Is the dark cave a forbidden place for the Doro? Why never heard Araunah talk about it? Even if they deliberately concealed Araunna, there must be something good in this forbidden area. What's more, just now, these Doro people did mention that they were coming to check something.

Second. Is Nob an anti-bone? Does he want to usurp the throne? Ye Ci thought about it for a while, but for the time being he didn't decide whether to tell Darufal about this. But she made up another idea, which is to keep up with these Doro people and see what they are going to see.

Ye Ci followed the Doro people's voice, and soon followed the group of Doro people, about a dozen of them, walking towards another shorter fork in the dark cave. This fork in the road was already traversed by Ye Ci and Arauna, but unfortunately, they did not find anything on this road at all. Except for a lot of magma people, they really found nothing here, not even a single magic crystal. But now these people have walked in here, so there must be something strange in it that they haven't discovered at all.

Ye Ci was very curious. She always felt that her exploration of maps was extremely keen. Even if there is something hidden, it may not be able to avoid her eyes, but now, the truth is telling her. There was indeed something ignored under her nose, how could this make Ye Ci figure it out? She immediately followed quickly.

Suddenly, the last Doro man seemed to notice something, turned his head to look, and Ye Ci was already hiding behind a stone. Kankan avoided the exploration of the Doro man.

"What's the matter?" asked another guard standing beside the Doro, seeing him looking around.

The Doro people felt it carefully. I didn't find anything, so I shook my head: "It's nothing, maybe I'm too suspicious, and I always feel that I'm being followed."

"Really?" Another guard hurriedly reported to the person walking in front, and then the whole team stopped just like that, and a Doro man rushed out to search the entire dark cave. Ye Ci hid not far from these people, and when the Doro man walked in front of her just now, she even held her breath, so as not to bring out a little breath and attract the attention of these Doro people.

Not too long. The Doro man who went out to search the cave came back, walking towards the team and shaking his head: "The white elf and Arauna have probably left the cave, and they don't know where to mine.

. Anyway, no trace of them was found in the entire cave, but the magma people were cleaned up by them. "

"Go ahead. Sensitivity is a good thing, but don't be too sensitive. It's really annoying to be surprised." The Doro man who led the team glared at the Doro man who almost found Ye Ci just now, and then stood up Get up, turn around and keep walking forward.

And the Doro man who had just found Ye Ci seemed very uneasy because he was reprimanded. He lowered his head and walked at the back of the team, daring not to say a word.

Ye Ci sneered, waited for them to walk a little further, and followed. Soon, the team had reached the innermost place. Ye Ci stood at the back of the team and could not see what they were doing in front of them. He only heard a click, and a dark stone gate opened on the cave wall. Doro people filed in and disappeared in an instant. And Ye Ci only had time to see that the entrance that seemed to be a trap engulfed many Doro people, and then disappeared.

Disappeared

just disappeared?

After Ye Ci made sure that all the Doro people had entered the cave, he walked out of hiding and quickly approached the stone gate just now. He stretched out his hand and touched the wall of the cave. There is a stone gate here. If Ye Ci hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't even believe that there was a stone gate here just now.

How is it done? Ye Ci carefully touched all the stones at the Shimen location, but still found nothing.

She clearly heard a "click" just now, which means that there is an organ here, but where is the organ? Ye Ci stood at the bottom of the cave, looking coldly at every stone here, trying to find some clues here, but all in vain.

Suddenly, the hand she pressed on the stone wall felt a slight movement of the stone wall. She was shocked, and quickly entered a hidden state, hiding to the side, and carefully looking at the position of Shimen. Are these Doro people coming out

The stone gate opened slowly, but it was very gentle, as if there was no resistance, and it fell in front of Ye Ci's eyes...
