Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 25: Black Iron Dwarves

The mysterious silver vein of the eastern continent is located in a corner southwest of the continent map, which is not too large, but definitely not small, although it is surrounded by more than fifty monsters, making the map largely disappointing to today's players. Not only that, but because there are smoky volcanoes everywhere on this map, the air is also very hot, and if the players are not fully prepared, one of the "burning wounds” in coming to this map is the flame damage that keeps bleeding.

It's easy to lose your life here before you find a supply point.

The environment here is so harsh, and there are many high-ranking demons wandering around, enough to dispel the exhilaration of many players coming here.

Leaf words sat for a while and still did not find a way to open this vein. Eventually, you can only go back to the nearby supply point. A map like this, located in a remote part of the city, is basically a map that has a supply point. And the replenishment point is not necessarily designed in the middle of the map, and its location could be anywhere on this map, depending on your luck when you run the map. With good luck, you will soon find a supply point. If you are unlucky, you may have to open the whole map before you can find the supply point.

Leaf, as a reborn person, naturally had no other player to run the map, and since entering this map called the Bad Devil's Habitat, she went straight to the supply point, opened the transmission point, and then wandered around the mysterious silver vein.

Unfortunately, the leaves that wandered for days did not really find any effective way to discover or unearth the mysterious silver veins, so she had to give up her speculative tricks and go back to the supply point to see if she could find any clues from the NPC there.

Back at the recharge point, the leaf word first went around with all the NPCs, but at a disappointing time, no NPC mentioned that there was a secret silver vein in this place, but the task took a lot. Though there was a hurry in her heart, Ye Yi thought that Sheng Shi Church could find the secret silver vein and it definitely didn't fall from the sky, there must be some way, just that she didn't know this method, she needed to walk again now, as long as she missed any clue, believe that she could also find it.

Since the idea of never stopping until you find the mysterious silver vein, the leaves don't care how many tasks you have now. She has now reached the sixtieth level, and is a top set. It is not difficult to do the fifty-fifth level of the task here, even if the difficult task of the threesome seems to be silent in the leaves.

Tasks at higher levels to brush lower levels are generally quick and can be solved in less time. This practice is reflected most thoroughly here in the leaves. So dozens of tasks, if they were done by players around level 55, would take about a day or two, and the leaves took only three hours to get it all done.

Take the task, do the task, then give the task, then take the task. This is the most common practice in games. Although Leaf is now unable to gain any experience in doing tasks due to their full ranking, money, prestige and various mission rewards have been received. Even if you end up with nothing on these NPCs, you can still earn an impressive amount of money by selling all the equipment rewarded for these tasks on Leaf Words.

“Oh, Pokémon, my friend, I appreciate everything you've done for me, because you picked the herb and my legs feel much better.” The tasks that the NPC in this secret camp can deliver are basically complete, with only one female dwarf named Jasmine remaining unfinished.

Speaking of which, the task that Jasmine handed over from the beginning was simple, either picking stones, digging for herbs, or killing a few evil demons. But her rewards are much richer than any other NPC. This situation did not initially attract the attention of the Leaf Word, but without a few rounds of tasks being delivered, the Leaf Word discovered the unique existence of this NPC.

The task is so simple, but the rewards are so rich, this is definitely not a BUG that was ignored by the planning, there must be something important behind it. This acute tactile touch may have begun to touch the player who did not, but for a leaf that had been reborn for a lifetime, if not, she would have wasted the loophole of rebirth.

Given that fate has a huge hidden task system, Ye Wu is very careful when doing Jasmine's task, and that conversation with her never chooses to skip, but carefully chooses and answers after careful reading word for word, she must not leave a hidden task so white in front of herself.

“Really? It would be my greatest pleasure to help you.” Ye's face was filled with smiles, and her tone of speech was very gentle and modest, and she even gave a small salute to Jasmine.

Jasmine's race is a dwarf, but not a dwarf in the general sense. Unlike the player's Dwarf race, they belong to another group of Dwarves - the Black Iron Dwarves. As has been documented in continental history books, the race of dwarves is divided into three categories according to the colour of the skin: the white dwarf, that is, the dwarf in general, the race of the player. The other is the Black Iron Dwarf, whose skin is dark, and the other is the Red Fire Dwarf, whose skin is red, as if it were a burning fire.

All three kinds of wildlings were originally led by Dwarf King Mokhumodor, but after Mokhumodor's death, all three races wanted to recommend warriors of their own race to succeed Dwarf King, and a massive battle ensued, which ended up being divided into three parts as the most powerful race after humanity, the Dwarf.

White dwarves, because they had the best relationship with humans and received the greatest help from humankind in this conflagration, were divided into the best parts of the dwarf race, and they established a long and intimate friendship with humans, which began to thrive on all four continents. Due to their isolation and the smallest number of ethnic groups, the black and iron dwarves were the first to lose in the Great War, and their chiefs were visionary. After signing an armistice agreement with the white dwarves, they left the white dwarves' land far away to explore farther afield on all continents. And the last to fail, the Redfire Dwarves were not as lucky as the Black Iron Dwarves, and all their territories were occupied by the White Dwarves and driven off four continents by the White Dwarves.

This is also the main reason why no player has ever met a redfire dwarf on their continent so far, but as the film opens, the redfire dwarf will quickly break into everyone's sight and create another climax for the player's adventure, which of course is in the future, and the important thing now is how the leaves find the mystery silver vein.

Dwarves are not fighting by nature, and although they are never afraid of fighting, or every one of them is fighting bravely, their interests are never here. Dwarves are a bit like dragons in their interests, and they all love bright crystalline things like precious stones, like precious minerals. So every dwarf, male and female, is very strong, because every dwarf is a natural miner. On non-combat days, the dwarves lived underground, digging up all kinds of ore and gems they liked. This habit is what dwarves grow in bones, and it doesn't make any difference because of the dwarf's race.

So, on the mainland, whether it's in that mine pit, if there's NPC distribution, if you look closely, there's going to be dwarves.

Probably that's also why Smurfs who have always loved nature are the most annoying to Dwarves, who think that Dwarves are covered in a bronze smell that makes them disgust. Likewise, Dwarves don't really like Smurfs, a noble and proud race that can only sing and dance, except that both races are close friends with humans, so, in this relationship, they are more patient with each other.

It is precisely for this reason that Leaf is especially careful when facing Jasmine, not to speak low and try not to touch the contradictions between the two races, so as to maximize the trust of this female black and iron dwarf.

“Oh, you're the nicest elf I've ever seen!” Jasmine nodded satisfied with Leaf's words and then leaned her lips and looked at NPC, the sleeping elf not far from the camp, and said, “And all the other elves are so annoying! Looks like there are good people in the elves, too. ”

With regard to this battle between NPCs, of course, Leaf would not do more to participate, and if she were to follow suit, she would soon not know how to die. So she just stood by and smiled gently, listening to Jasmine's words and saying, "No opinion."

Jasmine spoke to herself for a while, and suddenly there was a murmuring sound in her stomach, and she also had a rare expression of embarrassment.

“You really need to eat something good to heal your wound quickly.” Leaf didn't laugh at Jasmine for it, and she gave her thoughtful advice.

“Oh, the good elves are right.” Jasmine smiled shyly when she heard the words: “I am hungry, but I really don't want to eat dwarf bread. Oh, my God, you don't know how disgusting it is to eat that dwarf bread every day. I've heard that the food made by the elves is delicious and I've always wanted to try it. I just never had the chance. I wonder if you can live up to my wish? ”

“Of course, I'm willing to serve you. ”

This is an open task. Because NPC doesn't name what food to eat, it just says in general that * * spirits make food, which is too broad a range. You know, in this game of destiny, like a life-skills formula, all races have their own unique formula, which is outside of the popular formula. Many players learn only popular recipes, and leaf words are no exception, because they do not have enough prestige in other races to learn recipes from other races. Although she was a reborn player, and although she knew how important it was to achieve high prestige among races, she was running out of time to raise the prestige of other races without any extra time and experience.

It seems that raising the profile of other races can only be done slowly in the future.

Fortunately, Jasmine ordered dishes from the Elf Clan, and as a hunter, as an elf hunter, cooking is a necessary life skill, and the dishes of her race are naturally all learned. Now that the most fundamental conditions have been met, the question of choice remains.

Don't know who ever said that, life is about bearing the consequences of your choices in different choices.

Now one of the problems with leaf words is choosing. Players who come into contact with an open task for the first time will probably not understand that such a task is actually the most challenging, because there is only one chance of choosing what the outcome of this opportunity will be an absolute follow-on task. Wrong choice, maybe the end of the task, right choice, maybe you can open a huge hidden task. And as a leaf word after rebirth, how could it not know the importance of such an open task?

After 10 years of practice, she had experienced tens of thousands of open-minded tasks and had made basically 89 out of 10 choices correctly, so she was confident in this choice as well.

The question of how open-choice tasks can be more likely to be accomplished has also been discussed in many forums in the last century. Of course, most of us are lucky, but some arbiting players have come up with the idea that if open-choice tasks are to be accomplished as efficiently as possible, there is only one way to do so: to go to the national libraries on the mainland more often. Of course, when this idea was raised, it was basically ridiculed by all the players.

You know, it's not just a few books in the National Library, it's tens of thousands of books, no matter how many, and if you want to read them all, it's absolutely impossible without a year or two.

That's what Leaf thought at first. At that time, she was lucky enough to have an open choice mission, so hit her so-so until she was hunted down... she hid in the National Library of the Absolute Safety Zone. The first day or two of the leaves were years old, and I wanted to go out, and the enemies outside were waiting to kill her, not go out, and there was nothing in the National Library but books. After suffering for a day or two, she couldn't get out, so she simply settled in to read the book. This reading really showed up. She soaked up in it for several months, so that all the enemies who blocked her could simply give up. She was still obsessed with the books and seas.

Though the Ye word came out of the National Library, after all, it was a happy thing to go to the National Library every day after the game. And when you start out with reading as a leaf word of interest, you see reading entirely as an opportunity for BUG to face, which is actually an open choice. Alternatively, it is a series of open choice tasks.

It was a classic mission four years after the game was launched. This task has a total of sixty rings from the beginning of the first ring to the last, all of which are open choice tasks. And once you select the wrong link in the middle, you force a restart, and if you are forced to restart more than ten times, the player has no reason to do so. But when the final lap of the task is completed, there will be a very special reward, and it's for that reward that billions of players across the game will try to do the task, and not more than 100 players will end up doing it.

And the leaf word is one of the 100 players that did it. Not only that, she's also the only player who hasn't chosen any of the wrong rings. Incentives are naturally plentiful, but it's not lucky to have Leaf do that, but books that have been in the National Library for a long time.

In this mission, Ye Yi discovered the strength of the National Library books, so powerful that it could be called the entire game of BUG. It documented all the problems across the continent, from astronomical geography to human history, even the ethnic profiles of each race, how skills developed, how they were finalized, and so on. In short, all the problems that players can encounter are read in the National Library. But unfortunately, such a huge BUG has never been discovered by a player.

Don't know if the player pays too much attention to playing games and has less love for books? Again, in the face of such a vast sea of books, few people can sustain it. In short, in the games that followed, the leaves would soak up in the National Library for as long as they had time to read.

Probably that's why she became the least of the Pepsi in the whole continent.

It was a bit embarrassing to say that the previous life had been so passionate about reading the leaves, but even the doors of the National Library had not been broken in after the rebirth. Now all the knowledge she knew was eating old books, so the leaves darkened her resolve, until everything was finished, and she had to visit the National Library a little later.

In the face of this choice now, the leaves are not panicked at all. After knowing that Jasmine was asking for a * * spiritual system, she was already bamboo in her chest. Of course, it is certainly not possible for the National Library to tell the player the correct open-ended answer, but the player can deduce from some of the details recorded in the National Library.

Dwarves, for example, are a race that loves good food and wine. For example, dwarves are not naturally good at hunting, but they love to eat meat. The more meat they have, the happier they feel. For example, the dwarf's most disgusting food is dwarf bread, because the dwarf is the only food they can make, and they've eaten for hundreds of years, and they've long hated it. For example, on four continents, dwarves actually prefer the southern continent of Bran Town, not because of its scenic beauty and rustic folk style, but because its rich bran wheat can make the best bran black beer...

Wait, wait.

Together, these descriptions of the finest branches of each race make it easy for the player to deduce the most appropriate and correct answer for an open choice.

Following all the Dwarf habits in Leaf Memory and Jasmine's requirements, Leaf quickly found the best dish in the Pokémon recipe - Western Risotto.

Of course, the dragon meat here refers to the more precious dinosaur meat, not the kind of dragon that flies in the sky =. =

This dish needs a lot of ingredients, what Western Irish 50-year-old wines, what horn thighs are over 40, what Championship City features are soothing, what Elves secret spices… and so on, it's not something that's easy to prepare anyway.

And the leaves had to fly back to Championship City to prepare the dish and run to the maps. She even contacted the red dust that was pushing the replica on the southern continent, letting him get himself a few good bottles of Blanc Black beer...

All in all, after three hours, Leaf Words finally sent the perfect Western risotto, plus five bottles of Blanc Black beer to Jasmine's eyes.

Despite the lid, Jasmine started sniffing, “It smells so good, it smells so good! ”

“Eat it, it's a specialty dish of our Elf Clan.” The leaf words placed the plate in front of Jasmine and then opened the lid, and the intense aroma suddenly spread through the air. Jasmine sniffed hard with her eyes closed. She didn't even want to let go of the fragrance. The redness and intoxication appeared on her face. Leaf thought, she was basically 50 percent right in this choice, and the remaining 50 percent saw Jasmine perform after eating this dish.

Dwarves are a very fast race, and even if human delicacies are in front of them, they will never taste as fine as humans or ghosts or elves, and they will only tuck them into their bellies at speed. Because for dwarves, finely tasting food or wine is a pure waste of time, a waste of time is a waste of their chance to earn gems, which they would never do. So, very soon, Jasmine solved that big plate of western risotto in front of her and poured five bottles of Blanc black beer into her stomach.

It's a windswept cloud of speed.

This speed allows the leaves sitting on the side to move a little bit. You know, it took her three hours to do it. This NPC actually took less than five minutes to solve it all. In comparison, Ye Yi felt that the food she worked so hard to make was ruined.

“Great, great! That's wonderful!” Although Jasmine couldn't stand up because of a leg injury, she was happy to wave her hands and could tell she was really excited. And then the follow-ups that Leaf was waiting for finally arrived: "How can I eat this delicious food on my own! I have a good friend named Doo Doo. He's exploring the mine in the west right now. Can you bring him a piece of this dish? ”

“Certainly not a problem.” Ye immediately stood up and accepted the task. Luckily, she likes to leave room for her work. She made a total of five copies when she was making Western risotto, if not now, she would waste another three hours?

Leaf's mood was very exciting, and from Jasmine's satisfied expression, she chose the best answer this time. Although Jasmine will be rewarded no matter what elf recipe Leaf makes for Jasmine, if you choose the best answer, you will receive the greatest reward, which is also the charm of an open choice task.

After this choice, Jasmine did not give Ye words any reward, but simply asked her to look for another NPC, which is very unusual for an NPC that has been giving players rich rewards, an anomaly that explains the problem, which is that the player finds the most critical point to continue the next lap of the task. If players don't find this key point, I'm afraid all they get is a bunch of money or better mission gear.

Leaf was naturally more interested in the task of succession than those things, and she said goodbye to Jasmine and headed for the western pit. There are pits of different sizes and sizes on this map of the Bad Devil's Habitat, and for Leaf Words, she has been running around here for the last few days, but every piece of land here is well understood. She clearly remembers that there is no NPC in the western mine.

And now Jasmine lets herself go there and find the beep, which means she refreshes an NPC after she makes her own choices.

Soon after, the leaves reached the western mine pit, where a black-skinned black iron dwarf was seen sweating down some ore. Ye walked into him and greeted him with a friendly greeting: "Hello, dear dwarf. ”

This black iron dwarf, called Doo Doo, looked back and saw a tall elf standing beside him, and suddenly a disgusting look appeared on his face: "Go away! Fucking elves! I'm not a hypocritical white dwarf. I won't be happy with you and Yan. Get the fuck out of here, or you won't be welcome with my hoe! ”

It seems that, although Jasmine was fond of Ye Yi, it does not mean that Doo Doo is also kind to her. So Leaf had to take the Western Red Risotto out of her pocket, “My friend, don't be angry. I'm a friend of Jasmine's, and she asked me to bring you lunch today. ”

Are you a friend of Jasmine's? It's weird how Jasmine makes an elf friend. ”Though the mouth is hard, the smell of western red wine risotto is no longer as angry and stubborn. He began to sit down and taste the food while pouring wine.

Alcohol quickly anesthetized the beep nerve. After beep ate this meal, his attitude towards the leaf word had completely changed. Not only did he refer to the leaf word as brother-in-law, but he also pulled the box open drunk: “I can tell you, Pokémon, I don't really want to come to this ghost place to explore at all. Look, I've walked past a mine so much, there's nothing precious about it! ”

“Baby? ”

“Didn't Jasmine tell you? We went away from our race to this place where birds don't shit to explore because of the precious ore. Jasmine's guy didn't know what fake news he got from the chief. He had to say that there were precious ores here, so he dragged me here, but we've been here for a month. I rarely even saw any precious ores! Tell me, have I been deceived?” Beep, beep, beep, beep.

The leaves are silent. The Black Iron Dwarves are the most digging of the three Dwarves, they are not as fond of dealing with humans as the white Dwarves, they are not as belligerent as the Red Fire Dwarves, they put more of their experiences on the ore, so there are figures of them digging on all continents. Now Doo Doo says that Jasmine and he came here to find the precious ore, and the leaf word confirms that what they are looking for is secret silver!

In other words, this beep in front of her is probably the key NPC to opening the mysterious silver vein!

As soon as I think of it, the leaves begin to hold on to their own excitement. She took two deep breaths to stabilize her emotions, and then she said in silence: “Maybe this legend is true. ”

“Bullshit!” The doodle finally exploded, which surprised Leaf a little. You know, the player's doodle in the game is blocked by the system, but she hasn't really heard the NPC boom. This doodle is really special. “You think we're the first people to come here looking for that precious ore? No, it's not! Many ethnic groups have come here before us to look for them, but in the end they have not returned to their communities. It's so dangerous here. There are demons everywhere. I can't stay for a day! ”

“What can I do for you?” Now this NPC called Doo Doo is full of resistance to the search for the secret silver mine. Ye's words are a little rushed, but they don't dare to persuade anybody. He can only say what he wants, and then find a solution in full.

“Oh, Pokémon, my Pokémon, you're the best Pokémon I've ever seen. Since you and Jasmine are good friends, can you help me go back and tell Jasmine not to embarrass me, I don't want to send my life to this place where birds don't shit.” Doo-doo looks pitiful.

This is a leg job, although it is a leg job, but it is the only way to continue. Leaf words began to swim between the two NPCs to send them messages.

I don't know how many trips Jasmine finally sighed: “My friend, I don't think Doo really wants to find the baby anymore, can you help me find some clues to say Doo Doo? You know, the chief is my grandfather. He would never lie to me. I'm sure there's treasure hidden here! ”

“No problem, leave it to me!” The leaves almost scream. Although she had wasted more than eight hours on these two black iron dwarves, she finally saw the dawn! Looking for clues to the secret silver mine? This is like telling Leaf directly, just finding a clue is like opening up that mysterious silver mine!!

Riding the fourth, the dark figure of the leaves runs like a ghost on the habitat of the evil devil. As the name implies, the worst monster in this habitat is the devil.

Demons are the lowest of demons, but don't look down on them because they're the lowest demons. They are not much blood, but one is a long-range attack, good at using magic flames and magic bursts. Together, the two inferior demons can easily solve a Lv55 high blood warrior or knight, which is truly immense.

Although the leaves have reached the sixtieth level, they are expected to be extra careful. Nevertheless, both sides are remotely attacked, and leaf words can easily solve these inferior demons as long as they do not encounter a blockade. Leaf words wandered around the secret silver vein, hoping to find something, but unfortunately, waiting for her was that silent black mountain stone, nothing else.

Looks like you're mistaken.

If you can't find any clues near the mysterious silver veins, then take a closer look. Leaf pulled the distance and began searching further away from the mysterious silver vein, and soon she discovered a very important clue.

In the cracks of several rocks, she saw a dying black iron dwarf, all around his face, and his beard had turned white, as you can see, this black iron dwarf was very old. He lay there muttering: “Thirsty, thirsty...”

The leaves immediately pulled the cool spring water out of their packages and hit the lips of this black iron dwarf. He seemed to feel the wetness and immediately grabbed the kettle and began to sip the water with a big mouthful of mouth. Soon, all the water in this large kettle was consumed by this black and iron dwarf.

“Are you feeling better?” Leaf looked at him, some anxious to ask, you know, this guy had not found it at all when he was touring the map, you can see, he also refreshed with this task, but looking at his current state is really bad, Leaf has a big feeling that he will be home soon.

“Oh, saving me was an elf, and that was a ridiculous ending.” The black iron dwarf blinked and his voice was full of exhaustion.

“I am a friend of Jasmine the Black Iron Dwarf, who came here looking for a precious ore, but had no direction, and I was commissioned by her to look for clues. You can trust me! ”

“Molly? Is that the chief's little granddaughter? ”

Ye thought about it, and Jasmine did say she was the granddaughter of the Black Iron Dwarf clan chief, and nodded: “That's her. ”

“How long have I been gone? Jasmine has grown up, and Jasmine can look for treasure!” This black iron dwarf exhaled in a long breath: "To gain Jasmine's trust that you are a good elf, elf, I do know the lead of that ore, I have even drawn a map, but…" (to be continued.
