Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 57 Doro Nation

To avoid causing unnecessary hatred, Leaf put away the old man's words and then went into a stalking state, carefully bypassing these traps and going deeper into the forest.

It turns out, as Leaf predicted, that after walking about four or five hundred yards, she began to find traces of human NPC. However, several humans with bows and arrows wearing animal skins are squatting on the ground to dig traps. His body is huge, bigger than that of ordinary humans, his body is muscularly knotted, his skin is reddish, his feet are extraordinarily large, his limbs are strong and powerful, and at first glance he often runs in the mountains.

Leafs crouched in the bushes, watching them. Their traps, though very elementary physical traps, are highly skilled, and if they are not leaf words, a profession that sees itself as a trap digger, it is likely that the average profession will suffer.

It's not surprising that these people are digging around and speaking a language that the leaves don't understand. In fate, there are about fifty or so recorded races, and each race has its own unique language, and there are countless tribes beneath these fifty races, and most likely the language between each tribe and tribe is different. So, it's no surprise that only six or seven languages of the leaves don't understand their tribal language, but generally all races have a common language, mainly to communicate with players, to avoid many players missing out on such a sad thing as a mission because they don't know the language of NPC.

Not long after, they dug the trap and stood up and headed deeper into the forest. The leaves follow them far away to see where they're going. But she didn't dare to come too close. She had just lost a reconnaissance to these NPCs. They were all NPCs in the 70th level or so. Although they were not actively attacking NPCs, the neutral NPCs would not be particularly disgusting to the players, nor, of course, would they be particularly fond of them. So leaf words don't really want them to find out that they exist.

Several people didn't continue to dig traps on the way, but they were joking along the way and looked very happy. The forest leaves here have never come, so the leaves leave their mark on the edge of the tree they pass by with a dagger as they move forward, so that they don't get lost in the forest when they come back.

Not too long ago, Ye Yi saw them go far into a village. The village is also very primitive, with houses made of animal hide and wood everywhere. Ye Lian waited a while and waited for these people to go deep into the village before slowly diving to the edge of the village, intending to look inside the village, what is this place, by the way, to see if there was an NPC called Darufaar.

But what did not occur to Ye was that she had just approached the village, and she found a bead like an eyeball on a pillar in the village, looking towards her. And at this moment, the words that were hidden so well, the body suddenly appeared, and the system prompted her: hiding failed.

Leaf's heart sinks, it's over, it's discovered. And second consciousness, she turns around and leaves.

But instead of waiting for her to withdraw quickly, she heard a huge roar coming from inside the village: “dftrptgm... edgapwm!! ”

Next, the leaf words were blocked by countless long and short weapons. Looking at a sword trite facing her, although not sharp, if so many pieces are plugged together towards her, forgive her for the agility of the leaves, she can't escape, to be inserted into a hedge alive.

The leaves could not move at all. They looked up at the people in front of them. They all looked at themselves in the same way. There were dozens of them, all pointing to the leaves with different weapons in their hands, and they surrounded her with water. Leaf words have some black lines. What kind of race are these NPCs? They look very human, but they're too fast. It's just for a moment. What exactly are they coming from?

Ye want to try to talk to them, but these people ignore all of them, or look at Ye with a vague expression, and it can be seen that these people don't understand the words. This can cause leaf words to get tangled up. Now, this situation doesn't mean that leaf words will be caught alive by them and then sent to eat...

Just when the leaves were so tangled, only the crowd in front of her separated a road, then walked from the middle of this road a tall and huge old man, couldn't see how old he was, his hair was white, his face was full of mulberry, he wore a very noble crown on his head, and he wore a blue robe, the robe was adorned with many chains of animal bone and animal teeth, and he held a long wand like a magic wand in his hand, a fist-sized dark red gemstone on his cane, secretly dissipating mysterious power.

He moved slowly toward the leaf words, and his eyes were sharp and inescapable. His pace was not fast, but each step was under alarming pressure and seemed to keep people breathless. Leaf whispered toward this man and lost a reconnaissance technique, and like that mermaid, all the data on this NPC is question marks, at least sixty levels higher than the Leaf word. He stood quietly in front of the Leaf Word, not angry and powerful, as if he were spreading from him a mighty force that no one could resist.

Ye looked at him like this and took a deep breath. Although she had a very heavy feeling under the old man's eyes, she remained calm and watched the man.

After a while, the old man said to Leaf in a very old generic language: “I haven't seen an elf in a long time, and the most common race in the place where we live is mermaids, white elves, what are you from here? ”

Listen to the old man, the leaf words exhale, luckily one of these NPCs speaks common language, otherwise, she really speaks chicken to duck. To answer this old man's words, and to show his respect, Leaf intends to stand up. Although this old man should appear to be about the same level as the mermaid, Leaf feels that he must be much more reliable than that mermaid in terms of his temper and expression and age. So I intend to pay my respects.

However, it did not occur to her that she had just moved a little, all the weapons pointing to her were closer and closer. This time, they were about to be inserted into his skin. The leaves could only be kept as they were, and he looked at the old man quietly.

The old man was also very upbeat. He lifted his hand and gently shook it, allowing everyone to step back. It was a chance to stand up. However, they did not retreat far enough, anyway, to kill her in just one step.

Leaf stood up, raised his hands to indicate that he was unarmed and had no threat to them, and then he offered a salute to the old man, answering calmly and solemnly according to the best standards in the game: “Respect the elders, please forgive me for my reckless intrusion into your land. I am a white elf from the Maga mainland. On the way to the boat, I suffered a major storm, fell into the sea, fortunately I came here, I lost my way, and I couldn't find my way back. On the run of the jungle, I ran into your people, and this is where I followed. If anything I do offends you, I am here to offer you my sincerest apologies, and once again forgive my recklessness. ”

Against NPC, Ye Yi was still very accommodating. Her words clearly soothed the old man's vigilant expression a bit. But he didn't immediately believe the leaves, he just went up and down and measured her, and he said, "White elf, I smell mermaids on you. What's this all about? ”

“Dear elder, before I met you, I did meet a blue fishtail mermaid by the sea, and I almost became her food, but then, somehow, I wondered why she let me go and let me find her a man named Darufahr, because he had the violin she needed. But when I arrived at the mouth of the Breda volcano, I didn't find this man called Darufaar, but I met your people, and I followed them here.” The NPC looks very intelligent, and his identity is very high, so the leaf word didn't lie to him when he spoke. NPCs with high IQ and identity can judge whether players are telling the truth or lying in a special way, and if they are lying, they will be punished.

Light loses trust forever, heavy passengers die elsewhere.

So when Leaf faced the old man, she chose to tell the truth.

The old man looked quietly at the leaves and nodded after a long time: "Yes, mermaids don't like to eat women. For them, women's meat is not tasty and can even be a little toxic, so men are better suited to their appetite. ”

Turns out, Leaf nodded himself, no wonder the mermaid finally let herself go, and thought the mermaid was mysterious, so that's the real reason. Because of their mothers, they want to eat male... the answer is really uncomfortable.

“Me and God's traffic, God told me that the white elves were telling the truth, so I believed you too.” The old man smacked the ground three times gently with his cane in his hand, and all those who surrounded the leaves spread out. And then he said, "I'm Darufahr, the white elf. ”

Turns out this old man is Darufael, the leaves breathe a sigh of breath, which really breaks the iron shoes to find nowhere and has to come all the way.

“Hello, esteemed Mr. Darufahr, I am the son of Phantom.” Ye hastily and respectfully reported his name as a sign of humility.

Arufahr turned slightly, paying tribute to the words of the leaves, and then his expression relaxed a lot: "You said there was a mermaid who asked you to come and get me a piano, right? ”

“Yes, she did.” Leaf words are not in a hurry, these are two NPCs above level 120, Leaf words do not think that they will give themselves the task item so easily, otherwise the task would be too cheap.

“Well, come and see what she needs for a piano.” Darufaar nodded and turned to enter the village with the leaves.

Is that okay? Ye words slightly stunned, isn't she thinking too complicated, maybe the task is really simple, just need to come and run a leg? Although common sense of the game tells Ye that this is absolutely impossible, from the current situation, it seems that this is the case again.

Leaf followed Darufael in the village, watching the village's buildings and all the NPCs. The village is very large, and there are probably thousands or even more NPCs here. They all have a big, tall body, male muscle ties, and women are not backward. They are very strong all over themselves. Although they are small compared to men, they are more robust than ordinary humans. They saw all the way to Darufaar and stood up and greeted Darufaar with words they could not understand, which they thought might be greeting or paying tribute to.

The village has a very rugged architectural style, and although most houses are made of wood as a scaffold hide for walls and roofs, there are still different styles of houses. For example, in the mountains behind the village, Ye Wu actually saw three or four arrow towers. Although the top of the arrow tower is decorated with the unique animal bones of the village, it can still be seen that the arrow tower is crafted very cleverly. Although the Ye Wu doesn't know what the effect is, from the outside, the arrow tower and the four corners of the championship city are similar.

This is surprising, and in a village full of primitive styles, this modern civilization has emerged, and it has to be seen.

Ye looked at the arrow tower and slowly walked behind Darufael, suddenly she felt someone looking at her, hurriedly turning her head and looking, but only saw a few totems plugged into the ground, with one eye above it, looking at her without turning her eyes. And in the middle of these totems, the big eye that first found the leaf word, it was looking at itself.

“This is the guest, go.” Darufahr stood in front of these totems and gently dotted with his cane, his eyes quickly turned away and stopped looking at the leaves.

Illustrations should be Shaman-specific skills. Leaf looks at Darufael's side face. Is this guy a shaman? As Leaf muttered in his heart, Darufar turned his head and looked at Leaf and said, "Are you guessing who I am? ”

“Forgive my intrusion, Mr. Darufahr, but I was just amazed at your mastery of the totem, and you reminded me of the statues of those heroes in the championship city, among them a great shaman.” Ye did not say yes or no, and looked at Darufael with a smile: "In introducing him, Championship City said that he had a divine control over Totem, which made me very attentive, but unfortunately I was born so late, there was no way to see how he was. ”

Darufael looked at the leaf words and didn't have any expression on his face, but he couldn't guess what he was thinking. He said slowly after a while, "You're talking about Kuta. ”

“Yes.” Leaf nodded, somewhat surprised: “Why? Does Mr. Darufahr know about him? ”

“He's my brother.” Darufael said quietly, seemingly very calm.

But the answer almost scared the hell out of me. Her left hand covers her chest so that her heart doesn't jump too fast. No way. This guy's over a thousand years old? You know, in the history of the Malaga continent, when these heroes fought with the Naga Demon King, it was over a thousand years ago, and in one of the worst battles, the greatest human Shamankuta died, and if Darufaar in front of him was really Kuta's brother, he was truly an old monster for a thousand years.

Ye hesitated for a while and did not know how to answer Darufahr, but said: "I did not expect to meet you here, the distinguished Mr. Darufahr.” Then what did she think: “Mr. Kuta seems to be human, and you...”

She didn't finish, she thought Darufael would understand what she meant.

Darufael only took a deep look at the leaves and then said: "We are Doro, a race born of a union of humans and savages. ”

Ye nodded, no wonder this race appeared to have not only the strength of the barbarians, but also the agility and wisdom of humankind, a combination of two races.

“You must think that this race of ours is a very good race, with the strength of savages and the wisdom of humankind, yes?” Darufahr, as if he could spy on people's hearts, actually said what was in the heart of Ye's words. This is a little surprising. What does this guy have in his heart? He actually became like a worm in his own stomach. He could know everything he wanted. Nevertheless, Ye answered Darufael: "Yes. This looks really good. ”

But Darufael sighed a long time and continued to walk towards the village with the leaves. As he walked, he turned to the leaves: "But, in fact, this is not the case. ”

Leaf walked behind Darufael, listened carefully to his narrative, and then from time to time took a word to indicate that he was listening carefully. This is the best way to talk to NPC. Normally NPC doesn't like players interrupting in this long narrative, but if the paragraph is too long, the player will inevitably lose interest again. So, if the player doesn't open his mouth for a long time, NPC will think that the player is no longer listening, which will make him a little upset, but if the player responds too actively to these NPCs, they will find the player too annoying again, why always interrupt his own words, and his mind will be upset. In short, any discomfort affects the NPC's subsequent interaction with the player.

Especially after this lengthy narrative, the task is usually followed, and if the player upsets NPC, the task received will be less than ideal, both in terms of difficulty and reward. So talking to NPC is also a technical activity.

She already has a very good grasp of these technical leaves, not to mention the attributes of fraud on her body, and a certain deception on NPC, so that she has never lost anything in her conversation with these NPCs.

Darufael spoke slowly and Leaf was listening carefully. These words looked like crap, but Leaf knew that if these words were not carefully recorded, they might lose money in the course of future missions.

The Doro, it turns out, do not belong to this people. And there is no record of this race in the history of the Malaga continent, or because their race is too weak to be documented at all. Doro stands for “abandonment” in the language of the barbarians, meaning that the Doro are an abandoned race.

Although this race is born of a union of barbarians and humans, they are not strong compared to barbarians. They are not smart and wise compared to humans, they are just the strengths and weaknesses of an average combination of two races. Such an overly mediocre race is, of course, despised by barbarians and humans. Even before King Naga invaded the Maga continent, this weak faction was abandoned, and humankind did not recognize them as human factions, as did the barbarians.

At that time, it was very tragic for non-racially recognized factions to end up, not only when they were attacked by demons, but when no one reached out to help them, even when they were bullied by other races, but also when, even more terribly, many nobles began to capture the Doros on a large scale because they had both the strength of savages and the command of mankind, making them their own slaves forever.

The Doro people constantly fled and hid in such a harsh environment and were eventually all captured. When they were put in the boat and taken to auction in the glorious city of the largest king city on the original Mafa mainland, they suffered a storm at sea, the entire boat was destroyed and the slave owners responsible for escorting them were drowned in the sea. Instead, they float at sea because they are locked in wooden cages.

Their strength attracted mermaids, who wanted to use them as food, while the Doro chiefs made a deal with the mermaid kings, who would make instruments for the mermaids for free as long as they could spare them and take them to a safe and undisturbed island. At that time, the mermaids relied mostly on ferocity and strength in preying on food, with little skill, and the Doro chiefs found that the mermaids had a beautiful voice, so they made the proposal.

After experimenting with the use of musical instruments to seduce food, the Mermaid King felt that the method was much better than the use of vigorous pulling, and accepted the proposal of the Doro chiefs to bring them to settle on the island, which was surrounded by the most densely populated areas of mermaid activity, and other races had never dared approach because they were afraid of the harshness and ruggedness of mermaids. And in order to thank the mermaids for their help, the Doros helped them, free of charge, to make instruments with spiritual control until now.

Gradually, the Doro have lived on this unidentified island for many years, they have their own language, they do not fear persecution by other races and they live in peace. The Doro have the strength of savages and the wisdom of humankind, and while they are only average advantages and disadvantages over savages and humans, their race possesses the best attributes for learning Shaman's profession. Unfortunately, the Doro had always lived at the bottom of society and were not qualified to study in Shamans, wasting a lot of talent. Until the advent of Kuta, he was the most gifted Shaman in the entire Doro people, and since he was a teenager, he had shown an extraordinary love for Shaman's profession, and he was close to people and had a good relationship with mermaids, so he learned a lot of skills and skills about Gushaman from mermaids, and after 20 years of learning, he finally became a qualified Shaman.

And Darufaar, as Kuta's younger brother, studied Shaman's profession under his influence as a child.

Kuta is a positive young man who is very kind and, although aware of the persecution of his own people by all races, is still unable to stop his desire to go upstream to the Malaga continent, and although he is the next chief of the clan, these cannot remain his distant detentions. Although the entire nation objected to his departure, Kuta eventually left through the help of a mermaid and went to the Malaga mainland. Then... Naga, the Demon King, declared war on the entire continent, and Kuta joined the battle.

In this battle, he showed astonishing genius and soon became the youngest Shaman professional elder on the continent of Maga, but his race was strange, and Kuta was silent about his origins. Until the Battle of Kuta died on the battlefield of Naga, people did not know from what sources Kuta's origins, his kindness and courage, his astonishment impressed the whole continent. After the battle against Naga, the Maga continent was divided into five parts, but his statue could still be seen in the main city of each continent.

Kuta's death came to light many years later, when the mermaid who had left Kuta returned to the Doro with his staff. The Doro were in great sorrow, and the elder chief died soon. As a new generation of leaders, Darufael became the new leader of the Doro and has been so far.

Leaf listened to Darufahr's narrative, looking at the staff in his hand, and he was stunned: "Dude, this thing is a relic of Kuta, the hero. According to the historical records of the Malaga continent, after that battle, those who were eventually commemorated as heroes gained a low-level divinity, and although they could not be compared to other intermediate or high-ranking divinities, it was simply impossible for ordinary races to obtain NPCs of divinity.

In other words, although Kuta is dead, he is indeed a lower god, and Kuta's relic - isn't that the artifact!!!

The artifact…

Though I'm not a shaman, I can't help but look at the staff a few more times. This thing is a artifact. It doesn't look anything like it. It has a rustic shape and a simple pattern. It looks almost like a blue suit. At most, it won't exceed purple, but I didn't expect it to be an artifact.

Though he is a top magician, Leaf has never seen artifacts like this before. Let's not talk about her. There are only dozens of artifacts in the game of destiny, but only a few in the hands of the players. How can they be made public by their owners, who also hide them so strictly and truthfully? So, from the last generation to this generation, this is the first time Leaf has seen a so-called artifact, and even if the heart is strong, it will get excited when faced with this thing.

Even for a moment, the leaves moved their own thoughts, which of course were soon lost by her. After all, offending a legendary Shaman, who holds the artifact, is definitely not something that a wise man can do.

“If the Doros are so amazing, why don't we go out and talk to some people outside?” Leaf followed Darufael, curious about this primitive village.

Darufael stopped, looked at the leaves and shook his head: “The outside world is wonderful, but too tempting, our ethnic fertility is not strong, if we go out to the tribe the population will gradually be scarce, and if there are few people, we will be bullied. ”

Though I don't quite agree with Darufahr, Ye's words are still silent, and she doesn't want to keep stalling on this topic, so she refers to the arrow towers in the distance and says, “Are those beautiful towers you built? ”

“Yes, we Doro, in addition to our quality capabilities as Shamans, have the gift of architecture, except that there are not enough rocks here to be used as buildings, otherwise we can build this place into an airtight castle.” Darufael is very fond of his people, and when he talks about his people, he has a smile on his face that is heartwarming.

The speaker was unintentional and the listener had a heart.

For Darufael's account, the leaves heard a sudden movement in his mind.

Architectural talent! Does that mean they can build indestructible fortresses and castles as long as they have enough material? Now because of the appearance of rough towns and fortresses, the architect, a life skilled artist, is gradually eating incense, but architects are not able to practice, other professional upgrading skills are just small things, but they must build houses if they are to upgrade their skills, but the money and materials needed to build houses are not supplied by ordinary guilds and scattered players, only the Grand Duke has this ability, so now the architect is in the hands of the guilds, not even a single architect every day.

But…

Leaf words should be able to rent engineers from the Doro if they can count on their trust or help. In terms of the sophistication of those arrow towers, Doro architects are definitely at the senior or master level, if they can help... maybe she can build a high defense outside her own secret silver mine, and then add all kinds of geotechnical tools to it, so... can't you hold it?

Thinking about it, Ye Yi couldn't help but blossom in her heart, and her smile on her face was even more winning. Although Leaf wanted to get out of here before that, now she doesn't think so. She can't leave for nothing, can she? At least you have to have a good relationship with this Darufar.

Darufael can guess a lot of things in the middle leaf, but those are normal reactions of advanced IQ, such as the small discs in the heart of the leaf, which he can't guess. He just thinks this white elf's laughing so brightly all at once?

To avoid Darufaar's suspicion, Leaf retracted his gaze and nodded his head, clapping his ass silently at Darufaar: "Dear Mr. Darufaar, I thank you for showing me your village, the Doros are a great race. ”

The tall hat made Darufael very happy, and he nodded with a smile, but threatened: "White elf, don't try to draw outsiders, if that's the case, the spirits of our tribe will hunt you down.” Speaking of which his staff swung, he added a passive BUFF to his body.

At first glance, this BUFF is Doro's pursuit, and if she tells the Doro's secrets and location to other NPCs besides mermaids, she will be hunted down by the Doro.

Shit, this old man is too much. She's not that stupid. You don't have to put such a harsh curse on her to tell anyone about this.

Nevertheless, Leaf's understanding was expressed, and she bowed down to Darufael, not at all concerned about his threats and curses, which made Darufael very satisfied, and Leaf's reputation among the Doro people rose from neutrality to friendship.

Ye decided to do the first thing that the mermaid told him when he didn't find a way to escalate his fondness and that of the Doro. And Darufael obviously meant the same thing, and he walked into a large animal skin tent in the village with the leaf words, and outside the animal skin tent, he also inserted Shaman's search totem, and the eyeballs on it seemed constantly to everyone he was dealing with. At the door of the tent is a wooden sign engraved with an instrument.

After entering the tent, Leaf saw that there were seven or eight young Dorothy youths inside, all focused on the work in hand, while sitting in the middle of the tent was a spiritual middleman, who saw Darufael come in and stood up hastily, put down the work in his hand, did a salute to Darufael, and then muttered a string of leaf words that he could not understand.

And Darufael also said something that leaves words hard to understand, which gives leaves words a very headache. Do they know it's painful? Totally like a fool. After they had spoken for a while, Darufael suddenly raised his hand and pressed it gently against the head of the leaf words, his mouth mumbled and said a series of things, and saw his palms shining bright light.
