"It used to be the [Curonian Mountains]?"

Waltz asked suspiciously.

He clearly remembered that there was still a long way to go, how to get there from this mountain range.

Glutinous rice dumplings looked down at the map and looked at it several times, looked up at a few people, and replied firmly: "The route shown on the map is that this passage can lead directly to the Curonian Mountains." ”

She didn't feel like she could go wrong. The map was always in her possession, and she would make sure it was clear before she would show everyone the way, although there was no such thing as a mistake, but she was very careful to mark the route, and there was indeed a route on the map that could lead directly to their destination, the Curonian Mountains.

"What about the town of Lind-Arre?" Eve wondered.

They'd said before that they would pass through this town and reach the Curonian Mountains, and they only needed to go deep to find the teleportation array, but now how did it become a passage and go straight to get there?

"The town is not on the map. "Glutinous rice dumplings.

Several people were stunned.

Nord Stream got off his mount and walked over to her, "Show me the map." ”

Glutinous rice dumplings handed her the map, and immediately got off their mounts, and the others gathered around the two of them, looking at the map in Beixi's hand, thinking how could there be no town of Linde Arley.

Nord Stream took a look, and sure enough, this town was not found on the map, and a straight line led to the Curonian Mountains, just at the fork in front.

Tanuki said, "This map is not our own. ”

Glutinous rice dumplings nodded, "No, the map I changed in the previous small town." ”

"In the city of Simma?"

"Yes. ”

The crowd can understand why the map has changed. Their previous map was purchased in the imperial capital of Carlance, which is the old map to put it bluntly.

Because of the huge land area of the country, the number of cities and towns is incalculable. It is impossible to reflect all the large and small cities on the map, so for some towns, even the imperial capital, the big cities such as Bu Leh, there is no completely correct map.

Every few hundred kilometers, players have to change to new maps in nearby cities and towns to determine their routes.

"When was the map?" Nord Stream looked up at the glutinous rice dumplings.

What she asked about the glutinous rice dumplings was how long ago was the map they had purchased in the imperial capital in terms of the time of the game.

Glutinous rice dumplings thought for a moment, "It was about two months ago. ”

Each map has a date number, and the maps in the game change slightly every time they are updated. If there is a major update to the system, or a small update that does not have to close the game, the map will also change, and players will need to buy a new map in that area regardless of where they go, except for the route map of the cities near the imperial capital.

It's possible that something has changed on the map from two months ago. Even if they haven't been here yet, it doesn't mean that no other players have been. As long as a player has been there, they may have triggered a quest of some kind, and then the quest progressed to the point that there were no towns or routes on the map.

Glutinous rice dumplings continued: "This map is recent. I bought one because it was very close, and I thought I would show it to you, but I forgot it. I'm sorry..."

Waltz laughed, "No big deal. ”

Eve also nodded, "Glutinous rice is very thoughtful." It's getting more and more reliable~"

Glutinous rice dumplings smiled lightly.

Nord Stream looked at the map and used memory to find the route they had taken. When I came, the route was exactly the same as the previous map, but when I got here, there should have been another fork in the road to [Lindeare], and then from there to [Curonian Mountains], and then there was the edge of the elven sea and the junction of the mountains, the so-called depth, in fact, is nothing more than the bottom of the mountain range, and there are no obvious marks on the map, but Eve has coordinates there.

They mark the bearing according to the coordinates and go there.

As it happens, there is no mention of Lindearet on the new map, and the town has quietly disappeared from the map as if it had been erased.

The route that was supposed to get to the town was also only a hill, overgrown with weeds, and it seemed that there was no access at all.

On the other hand, it is strange why the fork in the map, which is obviously a fork in the road, indicates on the map that it is a route that can go directly to their destination.

Can the map go wrong?

In general, you can't go wrong with maps from high-level NPCs, and you can't go wrong with those you buy from the Shop. Only if the player gets a quest from a Black Shop, or if the player gets a quest from a Traveler NPC and then obtains the map, there is usually a chance that something will go wrong.

Most of the maps produced in the ruins are a matter of route retours, as those routes have been changed to a certain extent.

The game is not static, and there are basically some changes every day, all in order to make players feel the fluidity of time and the freshness that will not be repeated.

Even if it's just a detail, it will make the player feel that he is not in the game, but in the real world, living a different day.

"I bought this map from the NPC Travel Shop, and it stands to reason that it is a regular map. I'm in the shop, and I've seen the news that the town's investigation team came here the week before to survey the neighborhood and encountered a monster, so I don't think this map can go wrong. ”

Waltz didn't react, "Where do you see that?"

"Newspapers. Eve slapped him, "Isn't it stupid~"

Waltz pinched her face, "How did the little kid talk √ your brother?" ”

Eve clapped his hand, "Fuck off, fuck off." ”

Carlance also has newspaper reports on Nature, and they are all magic newspapers, many of which are dynamic scenes, which are refreshing.

Beixi watched the two of them play and smiled faintly, and then looked at the glutinous rice dumplings and said, "Let's follow the road on this map first." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. Tanuki they nodded.

They're all new to the city, and they probably won't be able to find it without a map. Now they need to figure out if the map is correct, and if not, they'll have to find another way.

There was not much time, and a few people did not bother anymore, but quickly got on the mount and searched all the way.

Because it was daytime, several people rode at the fastest speed, and the distance of 5,000 meters took three minutes to arrive.

However, it is not the Curonian Mountains that are in front of everyone, but the sea.

The endless sea has lost its purity, and the huge sea surface is dyed with a layer of swarthy color, rippling in a blue blue.

Nauseating.

This is the border between the Elven Sea and their Karance. The Elven Sea is one of the most vast seas in the entire Prosperous Age. Connecting the five countries, it has continued to expand, becoming the largest ethnic settlement outside of the human realm.

There are many elven islands, but not just one. Therefore, the location of the Elven Queen is not fixed, and it is not that any player will be able to meet the Queen when they go to Elven Island, unless it can be an extremely important task.

Before the borders were opened, the missions taken by players from the five countries were on different islands after coming to the elven sea, so they had never encountered them.

Now that the national border has been opened, occasionally people from other countries can come to Elven Island to do missions in this ethnic area.

And it is worth mentioning that the elves are also divided into races, high and low, so the island also has the same level as their human city because of the elves who live in it.

Of course, they will also have a central island, like the Carlands and Ringel, as the meeting point of one country, around which other cities are expanded.

If the player doesn't trigger a special quest, the Elven Queen will stay on their central island, and the player will simply call it "Prishima" because of the long name.

In addition to the sea elves, there are also elves on the continent, but these are all genres of elves, in short, if the elves whose blood is not pure enough cannot enter the sea, they are elves that are not recognized by the elves.

But in the eyes of the player, an elf is an elf, and there is no difference.

"It's the wrong way. ”

Waltz held the map in her hand and pointed to the end area of the route, "Why do your survey teammates draw maps like this?"

The investigation team in each city will regularly set off to the problematic area to investigate, then record the road route and the surrounding situation, and finally return to the city and draw a map to give feedback, so as to achieve the purpose of allowing players to get the map and travel safely.

"It's simple. The tanuki swept around. "Either it changed when they went back, or they didn't really go deep into it. ”

"As mentioned before, there are demons flowing out of here. Perhaps they were attacked by monsters and eventually retreated to the city, and then at that time, there should have been a route to the small town of Lindare. ”

The map is clearly marked, and this is the red danger zone.

"Then let's go back to the fork in the road. ”

A few people thought that it could only be like this. Now that the map is wrong, they can only go back to their original location based on what they know, see if they can find some details in it, and then find the gap.

Since Eve's mission has come out, there must be a route to go, otherwise the task will automatically fail when the time limit is reached, and only the player will be lost.

They returned to the intersection.

The route that was originally on the map is now only a high mountain, and the mountain is covered with trees, and it looks as if it has existed for a long time.

So much so that everyone thought that there was something wrong with the map. When I came back here and looked at it again, I felt that the existence of this mountain here was too abrupt.

The people got off their mounts, came to the mountain, and looked up.

"I don't know if I can go up directly. ”

Waltz patted the mountain, felt the hardness, and after discussing, Nord Stream rode up to the top of the mountain, walked around, and didn't see anything unusual, so he went down and said to a few people: "It's nothing." This mountain doesn't feel like a fake, it's real. ”

Glutinous rice dumplings stretched out his hand and patted the mountain and felt the hardness of the mountain, the touch in his hand was extremely real, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart, but he didn't bring that prop, maybe he had to ask others about it. So he looked sideways at the tanuki and asked, "Ahri, do you have a magic detector?"

The tanuki was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted to her thoughts and replied, "I didn't bring it." ”

Normally, they don't bring this thing, except for the needs of the task, they basically don't prepare it. Magic detectors are not rare, on the contrary, they are widely available and not expensive.

But players don't always have access to it.

Magic detectors are used to detect hidden magic arrays, or powers attached to certain items, or magic spells.

However, this thing is relatively weak, because it can't detect the gathering point of magic power, and it is impossible to help them activate the magic array, remove the magic attached to the item, etc.

"Round Dance, do you have a detector?"

The two looked at the waltz next to them.

"Huh?"

"Magic Probe. The tanuki repeated.

Waltz shook her head, what was he doing with this thing, wasting money and wasting parcel lattices.

The two slapped against the wall, their expressions self-explanatory.

Waltz looked at the walls, then at their expressions, and understood in an instant. Spread out their hands and make a white-eyed expression, and the two of them also understood.

So the three of them looked at Eve and Nord Stream.

The two were talking, but suddenly felt a hot gaze, and when they looked up, they saw three faces with strange expressions.

Eve was startled.

"Why do you look at us like that?"

Glutinous rice dumplings laughed.

Waltz asked, "Do you have a magic probe?"

Nord Stream and Eve glanced at each other, who would bring this.

"Look at their expressions, they don't have them. ”

"So what are we doing here? I don't know anything, we don't have a clue. ”

Eve felt inexplicable and wondered: "There are mechanical beasts in the north, why do you bring that thing." ”

The three of them were speechless.

Forget about this main thing.

Nord Stream was also speechless, it turned out that the three of them wanted to see if there was magic. Her automatons can detect living things, and then they can detect dead things.

Magic, on the other hand, is a living being, so it can be detected. The mechanic's scout automatons are their reliance as a leading class.

Often, when there are no thieves, mechanics are left to do the work of detection, clearing traps, and so on.

Nord Stream unfolded the instrument on the back of the manipulator, the light stretched out and spread outward, sticking to the wall, and the automatron landed on the side of Nord Stream and began to detect.

"How?"

Nord Stream pursed her lips, "There is magical power. ”

"Do you know what kind of magic it is?"

Nord Stream adjusted the data and replied, "The automatons are analyzing. ”

The magic of each race is different.

The data fed back by the automatons is much clearer than what the human eye can see.

Each race has more than one type of magic, but it will favor one type of magical ability.

Nord Stream is probing, and sometimes a little other magic can change the nature of the entire magic array.

Thirty seconds.

Nord Stream gave the answer.

"Ancient magic used by elves for seals. ”
