Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 30: Passing the Shoulder

After a while, Ortus' emotions were almost exhaled, and he finally calmed down. He turned around and looked at the leaves standing aside and took a deep breath: "Pokémon, are you interested in hearing a story that's not very nice? ”

“Of course, Mr. Ortus, if you will, I am willing to be the most qualified listener.” Ye did another ritual, and she didn't choose to skip the conversation because she knew that in epic assignments like this, the stories NPC tells generally have very important clues that are not only hidden in language, but sometimes in NPC tones and actions, and if you skip, you will most likely skip some clues at the end of the branch, which can have a very significant impact on the completion rate and completion of the task and, more importantly, on the final reward.

Obviously, Ortus was satisfied with the answer to the leaf word, and he walked around in front of the leaf word again, but this time his speed slowed down a lot and his two overly long hands were behind his back, which smelled a little old-fashioned.

Leaf stood still, and she was actually a very patient person, especially when faced with this epic task, which often lasted longer than the average person.

A moment later, Ortus jumped on a broken stake and sat down, looking to the distant sky, where the moon was empty, but the clean light could not illuminate this black-pressed earth, leaving only a silver tint that looked very pale hanging in the sky.

Leaf just checked the map, and this is the fragrant wilderness of the western continent. Monsters are mostly distributed between 50 and 60, however, monsters are mostly inactive attack monsters, so there are still a lot of players who practice in teams here. And the leaf words they park here, it's actually quite a dangerous thing, in case players in the Western continent find out, it's not just a massacre and a chase.

It's just that, even if it's dangerous here, Ortus chose to post the mission here, and there's no way to change the leaves. Ortus is a goblin, a neutral race on every continent, so he won't be attacked by players, and he's all that's left.

However, it is not difficult for Leaf to search for players hiding from other hostile forces, so even if Leaf now stands quietly in front of Ortus, she is still looking at all directions. With a little bit of wind and grass, she will take immediate steps to ensure that the land she has just set foot on the western continent is not compromised here.

Ortus looked at the quiet leaves and she was respectful and quiet, which made Ortus very satisfied. The Goblins are a highly intelligent and proud creature that deals with all races before the continent is divided, but the Goblins do not like them. In the eyes of the Goblins, the noblest race in the world deserves to be the Goblins themselves, while other races are either too stupid or too stupid to be able to compare them at all.

As for Ortus, he was more of a faithful pedigree, and he looked down on the average race than the average geologist, any race, although he rarely showed it. Now he doesn't really like the elf in front of him either, but compared to the average person, the elf seems to know a lot of manners, doesn't have a lot of ambition and intentions, and doesn't try to get anything from him, which makes Ortus more satisfied, so even talking to her is gentle.

“A long time ago, actually, I don't know how long ago. You know, the life expectancy of our goblins is usually very long, so time is something that doesn't really matter to us if we remember. At that time, the goblins did not live underground, nor did they live in secluded places, in a place called Vossoko. There's so much energy, so much ore, so much energy, so much gems, so much precious black oil. You must think it must be a smoky place to have these things, but, you're wrong, there are shades of green trees everywhere, wildflower weeds everywhere, lots and lots of little animals on the grass, lots and lots of fish in the river, so beautiful. And that's where I was born. ”

Ortus has entered into his own memories, his voice is low and gentle, his eyes sparkle with a distracted light, as can be seen from the intoxicating look on his face, which is the most beautiful part of Ortus' memory.

“I don't know who my parents are, because my teacher, Delphile, saved me from the grass. The teacher said that the day he slept together, he heard the baby crying outside the house, and walked out and saw me swaddling. And I, I was crying terribly, but when the teacher held me up, I laughed at him. In the world of the Goblin, if no orphan was adopted to be a slave, the teacher couldn't bear to see me face that tragic future, so he adopted me and named me Ortus. By the way, in geospanish, Altus means a beloved companion. So I'm not just a teacher, a kid, a student, but his beloved companion. ”

When Ortus talked about Delphile, the expression on his face grew softer, and that's how he looked at it. Ortus didn't look so good, and he didn't look so hateful.

“I followed my teacher for a long, long time, growing up from a baby. Teachers are the smartest people in the Goblin clan. Although, everyone says that geotechnical engineering is the basic gift of goblins, you outsiders have no idea that true geotechnical engineering is not accessible to ordinary goblins. The so-called engineering of ordinary goblins is just some deceptive trick in our eyes. Only you stupid foreigners will be so superstitious and give a lot of money to inactive bastards.” Ortus hummed his nose, and he had an old-fashioned, detoxifying smell, always despising ordinary goblins, but he did have this capital too.

As documented in the book, the goblins are increasingly unwilling to study the essence of geotechnical engineering because of their enthusiasm for making money, while the true heirs, only De Felaire and his student Ortus, remain. Needless to say, just from the mechanical sculpture just now, if this thing was generally made, it would never fly so smoothly or so fast, and most importantly, it would fly so far away, just afraid of breaking apart long ago.

“My teacher, the last great master of geotechnical engineering, and I only hit the master stage, and it wasn't going up.” The gentle light on Ortus' face suddenly faded and looked very sad.

“Why?” Leaf asks timely questions for guidance on the next task.

'Cause I left Wosoko. ”Ortus sounds deep.

“Wasn't Wosoko a great place for geotechnical research? If you were a geotechnical master, why did you leave? Did you find a better place? ”

“Wasoko is my hometown, what better place in the world than my own?” Ortus' face showed great sadness and grief: “I left Wosoko to avoid pursuit. ”

“Hunting?” It's a rarity, it's never been recorded in a book, and it's the first time I've heard leaf words.

“Yes, I've been following my teacher, and the long life of the goblins has given us time to support our research, and I even thought that my whole life would be spent like this.” Ortus' eyes once again shed a gentle light, but there was more or less some sadness in that gentle light. “But I had no idea that one day the continent would be divided, and the claws of Naga the Demon King stretched out to this continent, and also to Wosoko. The goblin is an engineered race, and no matter how rough those ordinary gorgeous things are, it's the most sophisticated technology in the eyes of your outsiders. And, of course, in the eyes of Nagar the Devil. Naga the Devil launched a war against Cordelay the Divine King, who called upon all races on the continent to resist his aggression, in which heroes of all races paid a painful price.” Ortus spoke here, turning to Ye, and saying: "As if Doyle, the elf king of your race, had been slaughtered, even his soul imprisoned in Naga. ”

Leaf words here, heart pounding, Elf King Doyle! This is an ethnic subtask that she received because Doyle's map fragments were never found, so she never went to the task. And about the history of these continental wars, there are no books in the National Library, and even if they do, there are a few, leaf words think that this may have something to do with the main darkline task of the game, so the game does not give direct cues and guidance and requires the players to explore themselves slowly during the adventure.

“Where is Doyle's soul imprisoned?” The excitement in my heart kept Leaf from asking Ortus.

Ortus seemed unhappy that his story had been interrupted, and he frowned: "Didn't you hear the story? Why do you ask? ”

Ye looked at Ortus' expression and knew that he had done something to make the goblin a little dissatisfied, so he hurriedly said: "Dear Mr. Ortus, after that war, our Elf Clan no longer had kings, the whole Elf was divided, so..."

Low leaf words and sad tones made Ortus feel the same way. After all, he was the NPC after the war, and he sighed: “Yeah, you Pokémon clan are pretty pathetic, so divided. I just know Doyle's soul is imprisoned, but I don't know where it is. It's Naga's secret. How can we know Naga's secret? ”

Leaf nods his head, and think about it. Since the main darkline task of the game is to support the important background of the game going on and on, how can you bring the answer to the surface so quickly? Now that she knows that Doyle's soul is imprisoned by Naga, other things are slowly waiting for an opportunity. “I'm sorry, Mr. Ortus, to interrupt your story, but you're going to have to continue. ”

Ortus nodded: "In that war, Naga suffered greatly from the advanced technology of our goblins, so after that war he commanded his own claw-toothed bloodthirsty and sinful beasts to control the whole of Wosoko.” Speaking of which, Ortus got angry: "No! They don't control Wosoko, they control Cher, that bastard! Cher, he doesn't deserve to be king of the goblins, he actually betrayed the whole race to save his own life!! To get the most sophisticated geotechnical secrets, Naga and Cher grabbed my teacher, Delphile! The teacher left me a message before he grabbed it so I didn't get stuck. I escaped from Wothoko, but the teacher was imprisoned at the deepest end of the Cher Palace! ”

Ortus' emotions got more excited: “The teacher was my father, my benefactor, my closest partner and relative in the world, but I left him for so long on this wilderness continent, I couldn't find a way to save him! Finally, I had to make an agreement with Moore, and he helped me find a candidate to rescue my teacher, and I..." Ortus came to a halt when he said that, obviously, he didn't want to tell Ye Wu what kind of agreement he had with Moore, the owner of Black Mud City.

His eyes narrowed and he continued: “After a long wait, I finally waited for you, elf. ”

“I'm willing to serve you, Mr. Ortus.” After such a long mission, Ye Wu finally received the task. “But where is Mr. Devereaux? How do I find him? ”

“If I remember correctly, he should still be in the Palace of the Goblins in Wosoko.” He took out a compass and gave it to Leaf Word: “This is my exclusive goblin compass, and as long as you hold it, it will always take you to my teacher after you step into Wothoko's field. ”

Leaf took over the sperm compass and looked closely at it. It turns out that it was produced by the geotechnical engineering of the master's grade. I don't know how many times more sophisticated the sperm compass is than the one sold on the market.

“Go, Pokémon, if you can take my teacher out, I will certainly not harm you.” Ortus stood up from the stake, then extended one finger to the leaf and said, "As soon as you blow that spoon, I'll be there. Good luck, elf. ”

After that, Ortus' not tall figure gradually disappeared into the night, even the mechanical sculpture. Only Leaf Words are left standing alone in the fragrant wilderness.

In four continents today, there is actually no map of Wusoko, and the leaf word is, after the Great War, Wusoko has fallen, but where is Wusoko today? She flipped through the cues of the task, reading page by page. Finally, in the corner of the mission, the phrase was found that Wlosoko was once a beautiful place, but now it has disappeared, and those who want to pursue it may want to go to the bloody wilderness for clues.

Blood wilderness.

It is a huge map near the western mainland city of Holy Light, where the complex terrain, monsters and high levels are not good places for players to practice, not only that, but because there are no supply points there, players generally do not choose to practice there.

However, players generally do not choose to practice there, which does not mean that there are no players there. Leaf believes that fate now has a billion players, and even with 250 million players on every continent, it is unlikely that each of these 250 million players will choose a Bloody Wilderness level. After all, it's weird, refreshing and fast, so long as you can find the right way, it's a great place to soar. However, there are relatively few people there, which is a good help for leaf words to infiltrate the bloody wilderness.

On the western continent, the leaves can't open a transmission point, and there's no way to ride the old four blatantly, and the only way to get from one map to another is to walk.

Fortunately, the scented wilderness is also on the edge of Holy Light City, and the leaves can reach the map of Holy Light City - Kodorin - in less than a few hours, just by touching it carefully from the edge of the map.

The hunter's dive is not as hidden as the thieves', especially on the western continent, where players are everywhere, and she will never start a conflict with players from these western continents if she has to. Besides, the more players involved with the western continent, the more time it takes to spend on the western continent, and the leaf words are not forgotten. Her time exploring the silver vein is only 10 days away, 30 days from the opening of the new information film, and the imminent destiny of Sheng Shi Church, which she has no time to waste.

It is precisely for this reason that Ye Yi dared not take the road, although walking along the road in the middle of the map would not be strange, but it is too dangerous. She was diving, leaning against the edge of the map towards Kodorin. If she doesn't meet a player on the way, she can kill two weirdos by hand, but if she does meet a player, whether alone or in a group, she goes around.

After a few hours of diving, the leaves finally touched the intersection of Cordolin and the fragrant wilderness. There is a very sturdy stone bridge with smooth river water flowing under the stone bridge and a lot of wildflower water grass growing along the shore and in the river, looking peaceful and peaceful. After all, this is near the main city of the western continent, full of high-ranking guards, which is no safer.

However, such a peaceful and serene appearance is so fierce for the Leaf word, on that huge stone bridge that can accommodate four carriages passing in parallel, three steps at a time, two steps at a time filled with 65 elite guards with more than a million blood, and all triggered connections. As long as the Leaf word accidentally leads to one, hundreds of guards on this bridge will rush over. At that time, Leaf thought, even if he had wings, he might not be able to fly.

Not only that, but their rank is higher than that of the Leaf Five, and such ranks, concealment and diving in general, can never fool them. Moreover, these guards possess the ability to detect, and even if the leaves can dive under their eyes, they cannot escape the ability to detect.

So it's impossible to get through the bridge.

The only way to go is under the bridge.

But under the bridge is the river, jumping into the river, the leaves can't dive, she has to swim over. However, there are also soldiers and strange players on patrol by the river, although they didn't expect a hunter from the eastern continent to hide next to them now, but after jumping into the water, the kind of stinging red light emitted on themselves, wanting not to be noticed, is a crazy dream.

Leaf words squatted in a bunch of low plants by the bridge, thinking carefully about how to get through to this level. After thinking about it for a while, there was still no way, and finally, under all helplessness, the leaf word could only use a fraudulent brooch. Fraudulent brooches can disguise players as players from hostile continents, but there is a limit that they can only be used once a day for half an hour at a time. Not only that, they can't enter the Castle because the Castle's guards cannot be deceived.

Ye had intended to retain the half-hour effect of this fraudulent brooch and find a small town to replenish it today when there are no drugs and consumables, but now it seems impossible. If she doesn't use a fraudulent brooch now, she's going to be here today.

Weighing in here, Leaf no longer had any hesitation, he spun the fraudulent brooch directly, disguised himself as a human thief on the western continent, and stood up from the lowly plants. Thieves are an unseen profession, so there are too many things to hide from, and her presence has not attracted the attention of other players and guards. In order to speed up the journey, Leaf spells out the little red horse. Although the little red horse is really slow enough, it's faster than two legs. She doesn't have the guts to talk out the fourth in this place, so slow down a little bit.

Slowly climbed onto the back of the horse, the leaves tried to restrain the inner tension towards the bridge.

Fraudulent brooches can fool NPCs, which has been experimented with, but it is unknown whether fraudulent brooches can fool NPCs in hostile camps. Leaf words hold a heart and try to make yourself feel as calm as possible, like a regular player, Zema Yang Whip flies past the middle of the bridge.

In fact, fraudulent brooches still work, and when the leaf words ran past the hundreds of guards in the middle of the bridge, no guard found the leaf words to be counterfeit. They still stood there, mighty, and no one noticed that an eastern continental player had entered the map of the capital city of Holy Light, Kodorin.

“You found the Yark Bridge. ”

“You found Kodorin. ”

As the leaves flew on horseback, the system continued to hold the leaves more and more exploration of the western continent. Exploring maps on hostile continents is highly rewarding, especially close to the main city, where, in addition to considerable experience, there is often a great deal of money and honour. So, as long as you have the courage and confidence to stay alive, you can fully explore on a map of a hostile continent, and with that experience and honor alone, it's not that hard to upgrade.

Since the fraudulent brooch could not enter Holy Light City, the leaves would not be close to Holy Light City, and she opened the map and ran towards the nearest part of the bloody wilderness. She has only half an hour and cannot waste at all, preferably reaching the bloody wilderness before the fraudulent effects of the fraudulent brooch expire.

The players in Kodorin are clearly more numerous and denser than those in the fragrant wilderness. Leaf words almost two steps to meet one or several players, a piece of Red Sha Sha in front of them, is really a little exciting.

Arriving in the bloody wilderness from Kodorin is to follow a detoured path in the west of Kodorin, which, because of its proximity to the bloody wilderness, also has a number of high-ranking monsters, but the players here obviously come in teams, guarding a refreshing spot of quiet staring at the ghost. She came to the City of Holy Light a few times before, and went to the bloody wilderness a few times, so she had some memories of the terrain here. Such memories prevented her from taking any turns and quickly arrived at the trail.

Unlike the beautiful sunny weather in Holy Light City, as soon as you step on this path, the light immediately darkens, as if you were entering a dark place where the sun is not seen.

“You found a rotten path.” The systematic diligence prompted Ye to explore another map.

Leafs looked up and only saw dead trees on both sides of the rotten path, hanging many dead bodies long ago on top of the trees, and beneath these trees, there were often carnivores crawling out of the underground and climbing onto the trees to eat them. The whole atmosphere was disgusting and horrible, and I had no idea that such a map was right next to Holy Light City, and it was ironic that people had to be emotional.

Most of the players who have just entered the game of fate are frightened by the insidious horrors of some of his maps, with a large number of male and more female players. But as the game progressed, players seemed to be getting more and more brave, and Leaf even saw some seemingly weak female players releasing their skills faceless toward those horrible, abominable carnivores and then calmly scratching their bodies for loot.

It must have been creepy to put it in the game just now, but after a year of pottery in the game, it seemed like all the players were numb.

Monsters here refresh quickly and experience is objective. Even if team players kill together, everyone's experience is very thin, but refreshing quickly makes up for everyone's regrets. And for that reason, on the rotten path, a team of five or six people gathered at each refresh point to guard the refresh point.

When other players are spotted on the rotten path, these squads speak out and tell each other that there are already people here.

As Leaf rode down the street across the rotten path, she immediately heard this prompt, and players from the Western Continent said, "Excuse me, there are already people here, if you want to kill the monster, find another refresh point. ”

“Move aside, move aside, the sword is heartless, wrong wounds are irresponsible. ”

“This refresh point is empty, you need to go somewhere else to practice light! ”

……

The call to proclaim their sovereignty like this all the way up and down, it seems that the friendship of so-called continental players is actually a fart in order to be able to upgrade faster. Leaf punched the little red horse's ass hard with a whip, just hoping the guy would run faster, because she had less than three minutes left to scam.

The players on the rotten path are so dense and the terrain on both sides is not suitable for battle, if the fraudulent brooch fails here, waiting for her is not a good result.

“Hey, is that thief going to the bloody wilderness? ”

“No way, dare to go to the bloody wilderness alone, without taking the nanny, to die. ”

“Maybe he has money and a backpack of blood bottles. ”

“Cut, do you think that kind of place is open to everyone? Think of yourself as an anti-sky player. ”

……

Instead of stopping to look at the back of the leaves, they flew all the way to the bloody wilderness, and a number of skilled players started whispering. After all, the level of danger in the bloody wilderness is not comparable on the way down the rotten odor, there are too few lonely players like Leaf Words.

Leaf words can ignore what these players say, just rushing towards the bloody wilderness with a breath.

In fifty seconds, the bloody wilderness was close to sight, and the leaves had even seen the bloody red sky.

The time is close, it's closer, and the little red horse's footsteps are really impotent. Ye can't help but regret it. If only she had spent some more money on a better horse at the time, but she never thought she would be able to ride the Fourth...

There are dozens of yards to the bloody wilderness and thirty-seven seconds to the leaf word.

That should be enough, there are no players on this rotten path, even if there is not enough time, players will not find out.

In twelve seconds, a few yards to the bloody wilderness. Leaf's heart almost mentioned the voice eye. Never encounter a player passing by, never encounter a player passing by! If you encounter a player passing by here, it is easy to impress other players on the rotten path, then you will find unnecessary trouble.

Thinking about it, Ye suddenly saw a player riding a unicorn and flying across from himself. This man was very fast, but his face was like a carving knife in the eyes of a leaf word, making her breath stop suddenly!

She can't be so unlucky! I can't believe I met the last person I wanted to meet in this place!

Although Ye had long known that she had a great chance of meeting this person as soon as she stepped onto the land of the western continent, after all, she still had some luck in her heart. How could she be so unlucky to meet him when the western continent was so big and she was just on a mission?

But it turns out that she's really unlucky, and when she's unlucky, all the bad things come together. If it's not this person she meets now, maybe she can spin around a bit, but if she meets this person, Ye only feels that it's dark...

NND, what a lucky dog!

That's right, this guy is a senior year.

Although it has already reached level 60 in the first year of life, the stones will fall on the bloody plain and will be brushed when nothing happens in the first year. Now that his package is full, the equipment lasts almost too long. Most importantly, there are not many arrows left on him, and there is no food left for Little Five. If you continue to fight, it is estimated that not only will you have to play out the food, but Little Five will also have to strike to protest. So I packed up my stuff in the next year and was ready to go back to Holy Light City to supply it.

The bloody plain is a place that comes often in the middle of the year. It's safer to go somewhere, and it doesn't attract too many weirdnesses. He already rots in his heart. He pulled out his white unicorn, rolled over his horse gently, and ran all the way to Holy Light City.

Today, the harvest of the current year is very good. Not only did you pick up four spare time critical gems, but you also picked up a spare power gem. Take it back to Holy Light City and find a synthetic NPC to synthesize it. Perhaps you can get a higher quality gem. When you think about putting the perfect Critical Gem on your bow, it's a beauty in your heart for the rest of your life. As soon as he was happy, the footsteps were lighter.

Soon he saw the rotten path from the bloody wilderness. There's a narrow mouth, looking past from the bloody wilderness, just feeling the black pressure over there. The rotten road is probably the least favorite part of the new year. The environment is dark and smelly, which is really annoying, but he also admires the players there. He can actually paint weird grades in such a rotten place and brush it for many days. It's so... great.

As we rushed into the rotten path, we suddenly saw a player running across the street in the middle of the year. This is a male thief with a dark colour of equipment, you can't see what's good or bad at a glance, but the horse under his crotch is not a good thing, it's just the colour of a shitty street.

He has no companions.

Into the bloody wilderness alone?

Thieves should be able to do it. But it has to work well. Although there are not many players to brush monsters in the bloody wilderness, there are still fifty or sixty players, they each guard a place, more or less in the middle of life still recognize it, but the face of this person is very, as if they have never seen it.

However, there is no doubt in the current year that, after all, there are so many players from the western continent that everyone has different ways of playing games. Even if this thief wanted to come after the stimulus and die, there was no way to stop it in the first year.

After all, it seems to have nothing to do with seniority.

Lifetime is never a meddling person, but seeing this thief far away, analyzing it according to common sense, there is nothing left to think about. His unicorn was fast, and he quickly wiped his shoulders with the thief.

Suddenly, in a flash, he seemed to see something… (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.)
