Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 29

While the Dark Iron Dwarves were exploring the mineral veins, the leaves continued to do their epic tasks.

She brought the feedback that the Dolan bandits would give her again to Black Mud City, where, as usual, she still did not see the owner, Moore, and only the mayor of Black Mud City received her.

“Very good, very good, Pokémon, you have done a very good job.” After carefully reading the letter, the mayor raised his head to look at the leaves, squeezed those triangular eyes, and laughed a little creepy. “I will convey your sincerity to Lord Moore, who I'm sure will be very happy to know about this. You also know that Moore City owner's health has been bad, but you have to worry about the trivial things around him, which makes our subordinates very nervous and wonder if you can help us again? ”

It is true that the third phase of the task has begun. Although Ye Wu does not know exactly how many rings this epic task has, it is impossible to stop since it has gone deep.

“Of course, it's my pleasure.” Leaf words are a gift. But I couldn't bear to laugh at myself too hypocritical, obviously it was a task I had to do, I was honored, honored what!

“But it's going to be a long journey. Do you really want to?” The Mayor of Black Mud City was obviously very satisfied when he heard the answer, but for some reason he asked Ye again.

“I will do everything I can to help the Moorish owners.” The leaf nodded.

“Well, this is a long journey and you may be away from your hometown for a long time, hopefully you won't miss home too much.” The mayor of Black Mud City nodded, but his expression showed that Leaf had nothing to do with him if he wanted to go home. “Go to Windy Canyon, where there is a broken iron bridge, and blow this whistle at twelve o'clock in the evening, and someone will pick you up across the street. And he'll tell you what you need to do. ”

The mayor of the Muddy City took a very old-fashioned bone whistle from his body, which had been smooth and pale brown and had been in use for a very long time at first glance. He handed the whistle to Ye and then said with some sincerity: "May God always be with you, Lord of Moore City will await your return. ”

The leaves took the bone whistle, but the eyebrows slightly wrinkled. If she remembers correctly, the Wind Canyon is a map of the southern and western continents, with a deep ditch in the middle that divides the entire Wind Canyon into two parts, one on the southern continent and the other on the western continent.

The mayor of Dark Mud City won't let her go to the Western Continent...

Actually, that's the thing. Leaf exited the game and looked at the now officially exposed map, and she did see what seemed to be connecting in the narrowest part of Windy Canyon. And the other side is the Western Continent.

Looks like this trip has to go.

Ye Yi told the senior members of the Guild that she was leaving the eastern continent for a while. Although the stranger went home, she still played at the game every night. She left him a message about this and then prepared some spare funds for her parents to fill up all the arrows on her, which left the eastern continent and set off towards the southern continent.

Because it was an epic mission, Leaf Words did not reach the southern continent to contact Fluttering Red Dust, it was just conveyed all the way, and it didn't take much time to reach Windy Canyon.

Windy Canyon is a narrow map, as there is a deep and long deep valley in the middle that divides the map into two parts. This side of the Southern Continent is called Windy Canyon. Up, and on the western continent, it's called Windy Canyon. Down.

Before the four continents in the north-east and south-west were divided, there was an iron bridge linking the two sides of the canyon for passage, but after the division of the four continents, the NPCs on both sides removed the planks from the bridge and built extremely resilient fortifications and archery fortifications on both sides of the bridge to defend the opposite enemy.

Now, above the raging wind canyon, you can only see the building lining and, a broken iron rope bridge...

Leaf stood at the mouth of the canyon, looking across the street, only saw a red man moving, no need to guess, definitely the same bridge guard elite as this one. Grade 60 and above, thick and bloody, the leaf word is to deal with a problem, let alone this piece.

She touched the bone whistle in her hand, and it seemed like it was only 12: 00 at night.

The NPCs guarding the bridge are actually a little strange, they don't prohibit players from the Alliance continent from going to local positions, as long as you live to pass, they act calm, but if the other player or NPC wants to come over, it's definitely ten-thousand blocks a day.

Leaf words sat by the bridge and waited quietly for the sun to set.

She looked across the street and felt calm inside like a waveless lake. What will you encounter after the past? Is everything going to be all right on the Western Continent? How long does it take for her to get back to the Eastern Continent? These questions are left to the future to think about, and she just has to wait until 12: 00 to get over it.

The bridge guards of the southern continent walked around behind the leaf words, the batch after batch, the interval between each batch will not exceed 30 seconds, each batch of soldiers is four to six, it seems, even if the opposite continent has players running over, it is impossible to slip smoothly under their eyes. By the same token, Leaf had little chance of slipping across the shore from the guards.

She looked up and down at the bone whistle in her hand and never found anything magical. She couldn't imagine what the NPC that whistle was calling would do to get her to the other bank until 12: 00.

Time this thing is weird.

When you don't care, it slips away quickly, but for a moment, it actually flies away a lot. But when you really care, it's going to be slow again, as if you can do something amazing in a second.

Like the leaves now, she sat on a wooden stake by the canyon with a dog's tail grass in her mouth, her hands held still looking at the sunset in the distance, hoping that time would pass faster, but time seemed to defy her intentions, had been so worn, seemed not to move normally. She didn't know how many times she had to move that time to see it, or that point, so boring, how long was it really going to take to wait until 12?

Surely, just waiting for time is definitely not what Ye Wu would do. Now that her people can't do anything here, why don't you do something else below the line. Now that you've made up your mind, the leaves go offline and the house is quiet. White stranger went home, Tan broke wave went to school, both parents flushed their skills in the game, and there was nothing to do when they came down.

Leaf words walked into the living room with crutches and the sun poured in through the window, very bright. Leaf words sat on the couch hundreds of boring turns on the TV. There was a boring interface playing in the TV, and Ye Wu had the remote control in his hand, and the interest was missing one table after another.

I don't know if her mental age is too mature, or if the current TV show really doesn't mean anything, turning over so many stations, leaf words can't even be watched, so what exactly does she have to spend this afternoon on?

“According to the news just received by this reporter, the Glory Group officially inaugurated the countdown ceremony of Destiny OL's first information film, The New Continent, in the National Stadium. Unlike previous holographic games, Destiny OL was launched in 2050 as an emerging holographic game, using the world's most advanced technology for light shadow change and human microsensory technology, it simulates 100% of all environments in the real world, and it perfectly combines the cultures and game backgrounds of many countries around the world, which can be called epochalic holographic games. Destiny OL has maintained a record of the highest number of people online since its inception, and this number has grown with Destiny OL…"

It was transferred to a news channel, and the host of the news was smiling at the news about the new film Destiny OL. In fact, it is not surprising that news about destiny has become so popular in this day and age that countries have gone from simply categorizing games as entertainment projects to embedding important functions such as economics, politics, military, etc. in games, which have become increasingly relevant to humankind.

So, it's common in itself to talk about games in the news.

If, in normal times, the leaves probably don't notice the news, anyway, there's too much introduction to all aspects of fate, she doesn't have that mind, let alone that time to pay attention. And the news is different. Leaf stopped the remote in his hand and watched the news quietly.

The first film, "The New Continent", has entered a 30-day countdown, which means that the official will release a series of major continental missions and outreach missions on the film. In this series of tasks, players' ranks and gear will progress dramatically, so the next 30 to 50 replica groups will be relatively easy to fight. Not only that, but the Ye word also knows that as long as the information film is opened, it heralds a little bit - the Church of the Sheng Shi is about to land!

In fact, the leaves don't really understand what these schemes are thinking.

The Sheng Shi Guild was bought by the Opposite Company of the Glory Group to enter Destiny OL to fight the current momentum of destiny. The news, even the ordinary player of Ye Yi Yi already knows, she doesn't believe that the leaders of the Glory Group's plans and directors don't know? Now that they know, they must understand how terrible it will be for the Sheng Shi Church to enter the game, wouldn't it be an unwise decision to venture into opening a profile film in such a situation? But why would they do that? Is it all in your head? Or did Leaf not understand the foresight at all?

However, as things have come to this point, what the heads of the Glory Group think is no longer within the bounds of the Leaf Word, the only thing she wants to think about is how to preserve everything as much as possible before the new film opens and before the Sheng Shi Church enters the game.

This is a real headache.

Suddenly, she thought of someone.

After playing the game, Leaf started contacting customer service, indicating that customer service number 094 was needed. Although customer service is a little embarrassing, they can't refuse the player's not excessive demands, so even if there is some trouble, she quickly found Wang Jiangnan for Ye words.

Watching Gangnam is a little strange: "How did you find me here? ”

“I'm a player looking for a plan. How else not to do it this way?” Ye is a bit funny about Wang Jiangnan's problem.

“I'm in Windy Canyon, coordinates 1893: 47: 3652. Do you have a minute? Come here.” Ye Yi knew that such customer service calls would be recorded, and of course she would not be foolish to discuss certain things with Gangnam here. Even in order to cope with Wang Jiangnan's leadership, she thought of an excuse for Wang Jiangnan: “I have discovered a suspected BUG, please come and take a look. ”

Wang Jiangnan undoubtedly has him, although today's duty manager is not him, but regardless of his relationship with Ye Wu, there is nothing to go on this trip: “Okay, you wait for me for a minute. ”

Turned off the customer service phone, Leaf sat quietly on the stake and waited. Soon, there appeared a Level 1 player in a novice costume beside her, who was not looking at Jiangnan or who. Wang Jiangnan was really work-oriented, and the first sentence of Ye's words was: “What did you find in BUG? ”

Ye smiled and patted the other stake next to him and said: "Sit down and speak slowly. ”

Wang Jiangnan sat down, he measured the environment here and quickly understood why the leaves appeared here: “Did you receive an epic task? ”

“Hmm.” Leaf narrowed his eyes: “Can you tell me what's waiting for me? ”

Wang Jiangnan shook his head: “If I told you, wouldn't you find it boring? Besides, I didn't design this epic mission, I didn't take the test, and I wasn't quite sure what was going on.” Go ahead, he still cares about the BUG problem: “Didn't you say there was a BUG? It must be terrible to get caught. ”

“It's not BUG, I'm looking for you and it's just an excuse.” Leaf words pulled the dog's tail out of the corner of his mouth and swayed around with nothing to do: “Something else. ”

Wang Jiangnan's eyebrows slightly raised: “That's unusual. Would you like to see me? I remember, you don't hate dealing with our schemes very much. ”

“That depends on when. When the crisis is in my own interest, I still like your schemes.” Ye said politely that in front of Gangnam, she did not conceal the true colour of her use.

Wang Jiangnan began to be a little curious, the more the son is at the top of the eastern continent, also the number one figure on the four continents, it is not uncommon to be able to crisis her own interests: “Hey, the more you say that, the more curious I am, what could be to crisis your interests? ”

“Why are you doing this so early?” Leaf didn't want to go around the circle with Gangnam, he asked his own question directly: “Don't you know that Shengshi is going to be in the game? ”

In the name of the world, it must be said that it is well known. They are like a giant locust, leaving a mess for them wherever they go.

Wang Jiangnan heard the leaf word problem, slightly stunned, and the divine color on the back of his face was slightly unnatural: “These are the decisions of the top, I am just a general plan, can't influence anything. ”

Ye raised his eyebrows: “Show me the way, how to deal with this storm? We in the Guild have reached the general level of 40, you have opened a new information film, the ceiling will be open, what should we do with the scatterers? ”

“You've really asked me, and I've been thinking about it, but I've never found a way.” Wang Jiangnan looked at Ye words with a bitter smile: “I also know that opening the information film is a little too hasty right now, but...” Speaking of which, he sighed a little: “Why don't you give me a suggestion, how can I better deal with it? ”

Seeing Gangnam like this, Leaf words are a little frustrated, it seems that this storm can no longer be stopped. As the information film opens up closer, she can only bear it passively: "Suggestions? Are you asking me for advice on how to waste my destiny by waiting for the great world to enter the game? ”

“Ha! Don't be so pessimistic.” Wang Jiangnan is laughing, but it can be seen that his heart is also heavy.

“Pessimism? Pessimistic people change the world.” Ye looked at Jiangnan in white.

“Well, if you were me then, what would you do?” Wang Jiangnan looked sincerely at Ye Yi, and he thought about it more than once. He even thought that by then, the whole game would have changed upside down, and their planned destiny would have turned upside down, just like the game. And his dream, his fate, I don't know if it's going to turn on this thing.

“You have two paths. First, pack up and go. Secondly, spending the day.” The leaves put up two fingers, in fact, these are the two paths that all players will face in the future.

“There is no third article.” Wang Jiangnan knew these two paths long ago, but he was unwilling.

Ye narrowed her eyes, and the third one... she wanted to do it herself, but didn't know if she could do it.

“Yes…” The lip angle of the leaf word overflows an almost inaudible sigh, “of course there is. ”

“What?”

“Place of death in the afterlife.” Ye looked away and sighed again. Her body was filled with contradictions. On the one hand, she did not want the world to come, and on the other hand, she wanted the world to come soon, preferably immediately. Because no matter what you think, you will never know exactly what will happen in the future.

Even if you know how things turn out, but you don't know how things go, it's just as hard to win or lose.

When Gangnam was desperate in adversity, it was left to die in the afterlife, and now Leaf begins digging the mysterious silver ore veins early, isn't it not left to die in the afterlife? There is only one month in which she must obtain the right to extract from the black and iron dwarf who detected the exact location of the mine. Even with mining rights, where does she go to find so many people to mine? Even if she finds so many people mining, how can she guard such a large vein? It's just a small meeting of not more than 100,000 people every day, and even if everyone goes out, they won't necessarily be able to hold the vein.

Wouldn't the Grand Duke of millions be robbing if the world hadn't robbed us by then?

She never thought there was really any friendship between herself and the presidents of those grand councils, and only the interests of the world were permanent.

From the day she decided to exploit the mysterious silver vein, she thought that she had placed herself in a dead place, but she could not tell if the dead place could be reborn.

The night has come and Gangnam has long since left. Leaf sits in the dark, quietly touching the bone whistle in his hand, and finally takes a look at the time, 12: 00 is 10 seconds away.

10, 9, 8… 3, 2, 1.

“Phew--!” The sound of a bone whistle is a peculiar, sharp sound that leaves have never heard on any whistle. This sharp, strange voice in the dark night sky was like a sharp dagger, tearing the silence apart alive.

Ye pressed gently on her ear, the sound made her eardrum hurt a little, then she stood up and started looking around for the person who would come out to receive her. But in the night breeze, she never saw anyone but herself.

You can't be wrong about your mission! Leaf words were a little strange, hurriedly began to look through his mission log, but nothing was gained. Just as Leaf stood looking around, he heard a hissing voice laughing low at the height: "It turns out to be an elf. ”

Leaf followed his fame, only to see a shadow squatted on the pillars of the bridge. He hid himself in that thick shadow all over his body. Leaf words could not find all his attributes except his voice.

Race, unknown. Occupation, unknown. Enemy friends, unknown.

Although it is stated in the task that this person will lead the leaves and will also give the following tasks to the leaves, the uncertainty of the epic task is too great, and as long as one link fails to meet the predetermined requirements, it is likely to provoke other consequences. Ye never dare to make any kind of decision about something that is uncertain so as not to produce irreversible results.

“Hello, the mayor of Black Mud City gave me a whistle.” Ye Yip paid a respectful tribute: “He said the whistle would give me the next hint.” Leaf words are wonderful to pinch and often put themselves in a passive position when doing tasks, while NPCs that deliver tasks are placed in a proactive position, so that they don't really look like much, but they can get a lot of cheap when dealing with NPCs.

The black shadow, squatting on the bridge pillar, heard Ye saying that and laughing twice: “He's not dead yet? ”

The words stunned Ye slightly. She seemed to catch something strange, but she thought about it carefully and didn't catch anything. However, she did not respond casually to the shadow. The NPCs of these epic tasks are some very difficult guys. They need to be more intelligent than the average NPC and more thoughtful than the average NPC. Therefore, if you accidentally respond, it is easy to get into the import bag by these NPCs. And the best way to avoid being bagged by NPC is to put your ears up, but keep your mouth shut. It is an ancient truth to say so many things wrong.

The shadow seemed very satisfied that the leaves had no mouth. He had two strange laughs, and his voice was strange, making him look extraordinarily daunting in this silent night. “You're not a mouthful of elves. ”

Can this be considered a compliment?

“Come on, follow me, I'll take you there.” The dark shadow jumped off the column and the silver-white moonlight immediately covered his entire body, allowing the leaves to see his true face. Turns out it's a goblin.

He had green skin, pointy ears, and outwardly projecting eyeballs, which seemed strange, but most strangely, the sperm's arm was obviously much longer than the rest of the sperm, which had dragged him past his knees. It's not tall enough to reach the elf's waist, but it's small enough to move very lightly.

The goblins are a peculiar race, they look ugly, but they have very high intelligence, they make the most sophisticated machines and the finest medicines on the continent, and they are also very good at enrichment, so throughout the continent, they probably belong to the richest race. However, this race does not like to deal with other races and is a neutral race with a cold personality. Before the division of the continent, the goblins frequently interacted with other races, but after the division of the continent, the goblins hid themselves, and only a few businessmen could find them in exchange for high-quality engineering products and medicines from their hands at a high price.

Seeing this goblin, the leaves moved slightly in the heart. The Goblin is a good race, especially in the siege war, and getting help from the Goblin is like a tiger, but how do you deal with the Goblin? That is indeed a problem.

Behind this sperm, Leaf has been thinking about a way to get close to this sperm, but has never found anything suitable. Unlike the same engineered dwarves, the goblins are much taller than dwarf emotions, and if they don't vote for it, it's easy for them to disgust them.

“Pokémon, are you trying to figure out how to get the benefits of a goblin from me?” Never talked to the goblin hey chuckled.

Ye was slightly surprised, but her face did not reveal any Kuang Wang's divinity, she said only slightly: “Pokémon are never a greedy race. ”

“That's true, you're different from the Orcs and the Dwarves.” The goblin agrees very much on this point, and suddenly he stands on his feet and blows a loud whistle, sounding his wings pounding from far to close in the sky. Leafs looked up and saw a giant bird flying in their direction from afar.

Looks like a sculpture. Leaf words squeezed his eyes, the elf's night vision was pretty good. From that physique, it did look like a sculpture, but when it flew closer, Leaf words were surprised! It's a sculpture indeed! But this is not a living sculpture, it is a machine sculpture stacked with machine parts!!

The goblin seemed to have been staring at the look of the leaf words, and when he saw the surprise on the face of the leaf words, he was immediately more than a few strands of pride in his divine colour. He bragged a little, “What do you say? Looks good, right? ”

“Very wonderful.” Leaf words are not stingy and praise, nodding towards the goblin, “It's really the engineering of the goblin, it's beautiful! ”

That changed the color on the goblin's face, and then he hummed his nose: "The goblin's engineering? What would geotechnical engineering be without me, Ortus? ”

“Ortus?” Ye's words stunned her and she was truly surprised to hear the name. According to the History of Geotechnical Proficiency in the National Library, Ortus is the direct disciple of Geotechnical Architect Delphile, and after Delphile's disappearance, Ortus also seemed to fade away from the world of geotechnical genics, eventually disappearing from the chronicle of geotechnical proficiency. Ye still regretted reading the book, so that the final legacy of what was known as the most subtle geotechnical engineering disappeared into the continent, but did not think to make a man, in this life she encountered Ortus.

“What, have you heard my name? ”

“Yes, I've seen your notes in the National Library, and of course your mentor, De Ferret.” Ye's words are true.

“Oh? That's strange. The descendants of the goblin don't remember me and my master anymore. A fairy knows.” Ortus' face revealed an indifferent mockery, waving at the mechanical sculpture in the sky, allowing it to fly to the edge of the cliff and jump on its back himself. And then Ortus turned his head and said to Leaf, "Pokémon, jump up and I'll walk you there. ”

Leaf nodded and jumped onto the back of the mechanical sculpture, then heard Ortus shouting: "Hold on!” The mechanical sculpture suddenly accelerates and rushes to high altitude!

This is not the first time a leaf has ever ridden a flight device, but it is definitely the fastest, smoothest flight device a leaf has ever ridden. Although there is a powerful airflow passing under the wings of the mechanical sculpture, the mechanical sculpture does not become turbulent as a result, but rather seems to pass through the clouds through this airflow.

“What's that crazy goblin doing sitting there with that fucking bird?” The guards guarding the bridge on the western continent looked at the distant mechanical sculptures as if they had become commonplace for such matters.

“Who knows about it. I guarded the bird every day and wouldn't let us near it. The last time I wanted to sit down, he almost beat me up. ”

“Hahaha, are you afraid of that goblin? How much does it hurt to hit you? If you let the captain know, he'll punish you very badly! ”

“You know shit, the goblin is a neutral race, and if I fight him, I might get revenge!” The guard of the bridge hummed his nose: “The old man can make that kind of broken bird, it's not safe to make something else, if you lose a fortune, it's bad luck. ”

……

The guards of the two western continents patrolling the bridge, talking low and low, didn't even know Ortus had taken a player from the eastern continent to his land through this big bird!

Leafs look down, a confused red light, which means they're at a very high altitude right now. But what makes Ye weird is: "Can't those guards who guard the bridge see us? ”

“How can they not see, they are not blind.” Ortus rolled his eyes.

“How can you fly me there? ”

“It's a secret.” Ortus obviously didn't want the leaves to know too many secrets about the mechanical sculpture, just grunting his nose with pride.

Since Ortus is this attitude, Leaf doesn't want to say much, she stands quietly behind Ortus, waiting for the moment when the mechanical sculpture lands. The mechanical sculpture is very fast, and I don't know how long it's been, and the leaves are starting to feel the mechanical sculpture slipping down, which means it's about to land. Leaf words depress the body and lower the center of gravity to avoid falling due to inertia while the mechanical sculpture lands.

The mechanical sculpture, made by Ortus, landed very smoothly and silently, and immediately after it landed, it became dead-end, like a pile of dead steel.

Ortus jumped off a mechanical sculpture, and the leaves followed.

Ortus stood facing the leaves and said to them, "Now that you know me and my teacher, I don't have to bother to introduce myself to you. Next, you have to make it very simple, find my teacher, and rescue him. ”

This task made the leaves a little mysterious, because in the history of the Digest, it was merely about the disappearance of Delphile, but not why.

Because this is an important part of the mission, it is important to ask the words clearly: “Dear Mr. Ortus, please wait. I know that Master Delphile knows you, but only this teacher is missing in the book, nothing else. Where am I going to find your teacher? ”

“Nothing in the book?” Ortus seemed a little strange, but soon he was relieved: “Hmm, it would be strange if it were recorded! Of course they don't write about such nasty things in books! ”

As you can see, Ortus is very upset and emotional. He was walking back and forth, walking, waving his fist and cursing: "Those damn goblins, those damn goblins! And damn it, Cher! All of you should go to hell! ”

Ye looked quietly at Ortus until the moment the mission was triggered. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote on recommendations, monthly tickets (qidian.com), and your support is my biggest motivation.)
