Chapter 632: Ironforge Fort
Following the guidance of the regimental leader, Murong Feng first went north along the coastline to find the wreckage of the starship and the entrance to the copy of Black Sand Beach.
Then I saw two groups of players making a mess on the beach at the entrance of the dungeon, and there were many onlookers nearby.
Murong Feng blended into the crowd of onlookers and listened for a while, and learned that it was two groups of guild players fighting. As for the reason for the fight, it seems that there was a conflict between the two players who grabbed the equipment dropped by the boss, and then the conflict became bigger and bigger, so that the guild behind the two was involved.
In fact, this kind of bloody thing happens every day, as the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Murong Feng looked at the crowd for a while, then shook his head and left this land of right and wrong, walking west along the mountain range.
Players in a hurry can be seen from time to time along the way, which forms an obvious contrast with Murong Feng's leisurely walk.
Three miles, it took Murong Feng nearly an hour to reach the dwarf town - Rolling Stone Town.
The whole town is built on the mountain, and from a distance, it is full of dwarf architectural style, which is thick and heavy, with roughness and boldness.
Walking into the tall and heavy city gate, all the stone houses and stone buildings that greet you are seen, and there are almost no wooden houses.
Murong Feng found a tavern as usual to inquire about some rumors in the rivers and lakes, but what he heard was nothing more than some trivial things.
The only major event that deserves her attention is the Great Voyage!
However, with the player's current strength, it is possible to form an ocean-going fleet unless a few major guilds join forces. Ordinary players still don't have to think about it, unless you are a local tyrant who directly spends a lot of money to find the military to buy a transport ship and come back to live the addiction of big sailing.
didn't inquire about what he was interested in, but Murong Feng heard another piece of news.
It is rumored that a major event has recently happened in the main city of the dwarves, Ironforge, where the princess of the dwarven clan suddenly disappeared. It is rumored that he was kidnapped by the Ice Queen. For this reason, the dwarven king is ready to take people to rescue the princess, so he sends a hero post to invite players to come and help.
As soon as he thought of the Dwarf Kingdom, Murong Feng immediately thought that Lilith and Xiao Hei were still there. Why haven't I seen these two guys in days. On the contrary, I miss it a little.
Murong Feng thought about it and decided to take the two troublemakers back by the way.
There was a mountain road leading to the Iron Fort behind Rolling Stone Town, and Murong Feng bought a white thick velvet cloak in the town, draped it on his body, and went out of the town and climbed the mountain road.
Along the way, many players rushed to Ironforge with the same purpose, ready to participate in the event of rescuing the princess.
By the time Murong Feng arrived at the Iron Furnace Fort, it was already crowded.
Murong Feng directly found the guards to identify herself, and was immediately warmly received and invited her into a spacious living room.
After a while, Mu Ladin came with Lilith and Xiao Hei, and the two troublemakers immediately pounced when they saw Murong Feng. Murong Feng didn't stop him, and he was thrown over by these two guys and kissed and rubbed on the ground.
Mu Ladin laughed when he saw it, and it wasn't until Murong Feng got angry that the two guys got off her.
"Copperbeard-sama, these two guys didn't bother you, did they?" Murong Feng stood up and tidied up his clothes, and said politely to Mu Ladin.
"No, no. These two are very peaceful. Muradin, laughing, "That is, when I first came, this big black dog soaked in urine under the statue of the king, and then this little girl dismantled a few forging rooms. Oh yes. And those succubi, who hook up with our young people every day. It's a pity that those succubi are too thin, and they don't fit the aesthetics of our dwarves at all. So this flattering eye is thrown to the blind, hahahaha. ”
Murong Feng heard this, and turned his head to look at the two troublemakers, but Lilith pouted and said with a look of grievance: "People are just curious about how the dwarven forge works." ”
"Wow, woo-woo." Xiao Hei also whimpered a few times.
Lilith translated for it, "Little Black said that he didn't even know that the pillar was a statue of the dwarven king, and that it thought it was the load-bearing pillar of the palace. ”
Murong Feng shook his head speechlessly. He looked left and right and asked, "What about the succubi who came with you?" Why didn't you see a human figure? ”
Lilith replied, "Oh. They. They're getting stuffy here these days. Isn't this dwarf princess missing, so I'll send them out to find out the news. ”
"Well, if you have finally done a good deed, I will not care about the mistakes you made before." Murong Feng pouted and said, "Go and call those people back, you have been bothering people here for a long time, and it just so happens that today I will pick you up and go back to Nordasen." ”
Muradin hurriedly interjected, "Priest of the Moon Shadow, don't be too busy leaving. I have something to ask you for. ”
Murong Feng asked, "What's the matter?" If it's to help you save that princess, please forgive me for not being able to do anything, because I'm still in a hurry to save the world and maintain the peace of the universe. ”
The three of them sweated when they heard this, and Mu Ladin said with a black line on his face: "I know that you have a lot of nobles, so I don't plan to ask you to help." I just heard from Lilith that you've been to the Ice Queen's lair. So I'd like to ask you about the situation. ”
Murong Feng recalled for a moment and said, "The lair of the Ice Queen is a very glorious crystal palace, but when we went up and sneaked in, the Ice Queen didn't seem to be there, it was an empty city, and there was not even a guard." And I came out after taking the things, so I can only tell you some inconsequential information. ”
"It's okay." Muradin said, "As long as it's useful information," he said. Because for thousands of years, no one has ever been able to come back alive from that old nest after the ice. Except for you. ”
Murong Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Then how can you be sure that Her Royal Highness the Princess was kidnapped by that Ice Queen?" If it was really Her Royal Highness the Ice Queen who kidnapped your princess, there must be a reason or a request, right? Have they contacted you? ”
Muradin shook his head and said, "My niece's disappearance is indeed a bit strange, the first night was fine, and the next morning the maid went to call the door and there was no one." All that was left in the room was a few debris of ice. After several royal masters were convinced, these ice debris should have come from the valley where the Queen's lair was located - Icewind Dale! ”
Murong Feng frowned and said, "You are sure of it just by one point?" What if someone deliberately lures you to provoke the Ice Queen, and then take the opportunity to profit from it? ”
Muradin, shaking his head, said, "We've thought about this question you said, but Icewind Dale has always been a forbidden place!" No one would dare to risk their lives to go there just to steal a little ice chips and blame the ice queen. ”
"Well, since you're so sure of your judgment, I'm not going to say anything." Murong Feng shrugged his shoulders, then looked at Lilith and asked, "Haven't those succubi been recruited back yet?" ”
Lilith pinched a magic communication stone and frowned, "It's strange. Why can't I contact them? These dead girls shouldn't have taken the opportunity to run away and fool around somewhere else, right? ”
Dodo!
Then there was a knock on the door of the room, and then a dwarven attendant pushed the door in and said respectfully, "Lord Muradin, Your Majesty has learned of the visit of the Priest of the Moon Shadow, and I would like to invite her to come and discuss important matters." ”
"Okay, I'll go." Mu Ladin got up and said to Murong Feng, "Priest of the Moon Shadow, we don't expect you to help, but it's always okay to help with advice, right?" ”
"Okay. I did my best. Murong Feng replied happily, and then took Lilith and Xiao Hei to the meeting hall of the Iron Forge Fort with Muradin.
As soon as she entered the meeting hall, Murong Feng saw a group of dwarves dressed in tin cans surrounding and making noise, and the huge noise almost made her think that she would see a group of **** handlers fighting for territory.
What's more important is that these dwarves are obviously discussing business, but they are all holding a wine jar and arguing while drinking, so that the entire council hall is full of alcohol.
Lilith and Blackie, on the other hand, had a familiar expression, and it was clear that this was not the first time these two guys had seen such a scene.
Murong Feng turned around and asked, "How are these dwarves discussing business?" ”
Lilith nodded, pouting, "It's not just about discussing business, even these dwarves usually hold a wine jug no matter what they do." ”
Murong Feng sweated when he heard this. I really admire these dwarves, their hearts are really wide enough!
"Ahh Muladin, you're finally here! Then he saw a burly dwarf with a red face and a beard coming up to him with a loud voice.
Muradin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, in accordance with your orders, I have brought with me a distinguished guest from Nordasen, the Priest of the Moonshadow. ”
Murong Feng also bowed slightly: "Hello, King of Iron Forge, Your Majesty Magni!" ”
"Hahaha, I'm not Nordasen here. Don't be so polite. Come on, come on, sit sit down. Magni turned around and shouted, "Why don't you hurry up and serve the best wine to the Priest of the Moon Shadow!" ”
Murong Feng wanted to refuse with a black line on his face. But the thought of refusing a dwarf's toast is a very rude thing, and it can anger the other party. So he could only smile dryly and take a large jar of wine from a waiter's hand, and the mellow smell of wine made Murong Feng feel a little drunk.
But it was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and Murong Feng could only take a big sip of the wine altar cow under the gaze of all the dwarves.
"Good !!" Magni slapped the table and laughed. The dwarven generals next to him all applauded loudly. For a while, the entire conference hall was in an uproar.
Murong Feng put down the wine jar and wiped the corners of his mouth. Two clusters of blush immediately appeared on his face, shook his somewhat dazed head, and said, "Your Majesty, this wine can be drunk slowly." Let's get down to business. ”
Magni nodded, waving his hand. I saw two waiters carrying a large scroll on the table. When it was spread out, it was a map of the Great Snow Mountain.
"Take the wine away and don't spill it on the map." Magni yelled while holding a jar of wine, then turned to Muradin, "Muladin, introduce the Moonshadow Priest." ”
Mu Ladin nodded, stood up, picked up a wooden root, pointed to the southwest of the Great Snow Mountain, and said, "This is Icewind Valley, and the Ice Queen's lair is in the deepest part of the valley. However, the valley is bone-chilling all year round, and the temperature is colder than the top of the snow-capped mountains. If we were to organize a large army, we would have to prepare a lot of liquor for the warriors to drink. ”
"In addition, according to rumors, there are also a large number of ice-type monsters inhabiting that valley. So we have to prepare a lot of oil and fire to deal with those monsters. ”
"That's all we know so far, so let's ask the Priest of the Moon Shadow who has gone deep into the Ice Queen's Lair and returned safely to give us important information."
Mu Ladin handed the stick to Murong Feng, Murong Feng stretched out his hand to take it, thought for a while and said, "Although I have been to Icewind Valley once, my knowledge is very limited. After all, I haven't fought the Ice Queen either, so I can only provide some information about the Ice Queen's lair, the Crystal Palace. ”
"Please don't say that, Priest of the Moon Shadow. Hiccup...... Getting information about the Ice Queen's Lair is already precious to us. A dwarven general burped and thanked him, which immediately drew a chorus of echoes.
Murong Feng thought about it and said to Mu Ladin, "Do you have paper and pen?" I'll just draw you a map. You can't get an idea of what's going on there just by talking about it. ”
"Go get pen and paper." Magni snapped his big hand and waved.
The waiter immediately served parchment and charcoal.
Murong Feng spread out the parchment, picked up the charcoal pen and drew on it, first the detailed topographic map of Icewind Valley, and then the route map.
At this time, Lian'er poked out her little head and glanced at it, and pointed out: "Miss, you have drawn it wrong, the east side of Icewind Valley is adjacent to the Great Snow Mountain, and the slightest movement will cause a big avalanche, don't go near there!" ”
Murong Feng was puzzled: "Didn't we go the same way last time?" ”
Lian'er pouted and said, "That's because there were few people you went there that time, so you didn't cause a big commotion." If you change to a heavily armed army......" Lian'er shrugged and didn't continue.
Murong Feng embarrassed for a moment, smiled dryly at the dwarves, and continued to draw as he said, "Okay, it seems that you have to find a new path. ”
Murong Feng casually drew another picture of the Crystal Palace, and said, "This is the old nest of the Ice Queen." Outside the palace there is a ten-zhang high wall. Behind the walls is the main building of the palace, which is three times the size of your Ironforge Fort. ”
All the dwarves gasped when they heard this!
Muradin was surprised, "Priest of the Moon Shadow, is the palace of the Ice Queen really that big?" ”
"It's bigger than I say!" Murong Feng nodded.
"What about the guards?" Magni asked as he took a sip of his spirits and suppressed his shock.
Murong Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know." The last time I went, I didn't say a single guard, not even a monster in the valley. It's just an empty palace. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get what I needed so easily. ”
The dwarves looked at each other for a moment, and could only sigh that the luck of this Moon Shadow priest was really good.
