Chapter 2: Bearmen, Elves, Humans, and Forest Spirits (1)

As the sun sets, the two-person becomes a threesome, and Thorin is undoubtedly abducted.

This NPC gradually came into the player's field of vision during the year of Aoki.

When he was more than 400 years old, he was sentenced to leave the Eagle's Nest Mountain for 50 years for stealing sacrificial wine, and wandered aimlessly in the human world. Originally, as a grandmaster-level blacksmith, he could live a very nourishing life with his exquisite craftsmanship, but this guy was not old and hardworking, he drank and was lazy at every turn, and was driven out by the two large chambers of commerce of Kane's Horn and the gold-encrusted rose.

So after two successive deaths of his employer, he somehow got mixed up with Rhodes and was arrested by Zaix.

Later, the two were released again, and in the year of the shimmering flowers, they did evil in the misty forest. However, the relationship between the two is not as close as it seems, and even if Rhodes is kited alive by the player, he is indifferent, just muttering that he has no alcohol and disappears into the crowd.

The next time players see him is at the Mist Liquor Shop in the Year of Aoki.

At first, it was not known what method Madame Jarray had used to subdue this strange-tempered old dwarf, but later it was discovered that in addition to Thorrin, there was also a female dwarf named Doela in the Mist Wine Shop.

The player's gossip fire burned brightly, nearly toppling the Fog Liquor Shop, and they lined up to harass Thorin and Doella in an attempt to uncover the secret between them.

I have to say that the power of the masses is infinite, and with the efforts of everyone, an interesting quest line was really born here - "Return to 400 Years Old".

As the player expected, the long-wandering Thorin sees the shadow of his long-dead mother in Doella, and falls in love with her because of it, as long as you invite him to drink for a week, he will babble on and on to tell you this, and then cry silently, saying that he has been in the human world for too long, has seen too many lives and deaths, and his heart is already old (dwarves live for about 800 years, Thorin is actually still in the prime of life), so that he forgets many things, even the great surname.

Then there's a series of ridiculous quests where players need to help him reminisce about his past with rather unreliable instructions, complete his last name, fix his beard, and prepare Doera's favorite sunflower for a cheered Thorin to confess.

At the end of this series of missions, the player will turn on the weapon punch function in Thorin, which will play an extremely important role in the later battles with the dead.

And the punishment mentioned by Mu Yan was what Thorin said to Doela himself by patting his chest, to the effect that if I brag like I did before, you will punish me to go back to Eagle's Nest Mountain for three days without drinking.

To sum up, he once again used lies to coax a powerful bodyguard.

Looking at what he has done in the two months since he came to Lokan, he can indeed be called the new identity of a 'liar'.

Just a few days ago, not long after the two of them walked out of the Baiyan mine, a series of prompts from the system made him want to sing loudly to express his inner excitement.

"A change in the fate of Zayx, a key historical figure, was detected and entered into the Twilight Chronicles."

"Detected 'Recorder' affecting the original course of history in Lokan......"

"Change your status and earn the title of 'Liarweaver'."

"Privileges are elevated, oracle detection begins to ......"

"The test failed."

While the title doesn't bring much substance, it's enough to be happy enough for him to change Zaix's fate, not to mention the huge experience rewards that follow.

"Your reputation with Damian Jones, the Chillwhisperer (level 70), rises to 'Trust' and earns 10,000 experience."

"Complete the hidden mission 'Save the Legend', complete 100%, and reward 30,000 experience."

A row of 40,000 experience not only made up for the deficit caused by the purification of the soul, but also allowed him to raise the level to 23 in one go, and now the panel has become

Strength 6, Agility 6, Intelligence 15+1, Constitution 8, Resistance 8, Knowledge 20

(Free allocation of points: 2)

Overall strength evaluation: 21

Charisma 9, Lucky 1, Perception 12+1

Health: 150/150 Mana: 560/560

Class: Mage (Level 23, 21655/6003 Upgradable!) )

The extra 10,000 experience was accumulated from listening to Zaix's lectures for more than a month, and as for the book of experience, he planned to wait until after level 30 to use it. So in the past few days, it was the excerpt book that recorded the pure white ball that made him go through it several times.

Young Damien recorded things as he did when he was fourteen, and he laughed when he said something like "I am a seeker of truth, and the light of the elements illuminates my future", but fortunately he and Surya had slept in a separate tent, otherwise it would have added a lot of embarrassment.

In addition to these secondary two fantasies, there are very few paragraphs above about the pure white ball.

It was last seen in the hands of Desmond, the leader of the Brotherhood, a prominent group of killers in the human world, and has since disappeared. It is said that the mission they sent Slark to the Morgan Sea was also related to the Pure White Sphere. ”

Slark is a well-known shadow dancer with at least level 75. The "Silent Ripper" on the summer solstice was obtained in Dusk 9, just after completing his epic mission in the Dark Reef when the new expansion "Hogarth Mist" opened. Before being imprisoned in the dark underwater prison, the Shadow Dancer left clues on a ghost ship to guide the Rogue player to rescue him, and after successfully escaping, he gave him the dagger.

Not long after he escaped, a shocking massacre occurred in the Morgan Sea, and a sea witch Hiracus inexplicably came out, killing all the sea tribes in the entire two sea regions, turning the seven sea areas into five sea regions with the power of one person, and changing the beliefs of all the sea tribes at the same time - they originally believed in the new god Calypso, but after being slaughtered by the sea witch, the prayers of the gods could not be answered, and in desperation, they switched to the old god Ysu.

Before that, Izu, the Lord of the Waters, happened to have a war with Calypso, the god of the sea.

This kind of coincidence is absolutely unbelievable to say that there is nothing behind it, and he also accumulated a certain amount of contacts at that time, so he asked friends from all walks of life to help verify it. It's a pity that nothing was found, and the two seas became two hells, except for the fact that it was barely obvious that there had been a great war there, all clues were quietly erased. It stands to reason that this kind of place is likely to give birth to resentful spirits, ghosts, and the like, but there is nothing left in that dead sea.

But this time, since he came to Luokan, before it happened, Mu Yan must find out in person if he has the opportunity.

-----------------

The three of them gradually approached Ashendale along the road of the Dusk Swamp, and as time passed, the two became acquainted, and Thorin finally threw out the question that had puzzled him for a long time.

"Did you really quickly become a mage under Mia's favor?"

"Of course, I don't believe you ask Surya." Mu Yan replied shamelessly.

The girl, who didn't seem to be able to lie, could only nod her head very cooperatively, making the dwarf cry out in disbelief.

In her opinion, if such a thing as a golden apple is not a favor, then I am afraid that no one in this world will be favored by Mia.

So the dwarf, known as Miya's parent, was full of envy for Mu Yan, and he suddenly learned that his mother had given birth to a second child, and he was about to fall out of favor.

On this day, the three of them came to the junction of Ashenvale and Dusk Swamp, and the only way passed through a tribe of bears.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Tranquil Lake, the lands west of the Hengduan Mountains are inhabited by many strange races between monsters and beasts, such as bears, owls, and forest spirits, most of whom are highly intelligent and believe in ancestors and some elemental leaders. The reason why they are different from orcs is that unlike the latter, they are humanoids that retain some of the characteristics of beasts, and they are more like beasts with some human characteristics.

In order to protect their races, most of these races have joined the Silvermoon Alliance, a loose alliance dominated by the elves of the Quiet Forest to fight against the malevolent enemies and monsters around them.

Most of the bears are hunched over, like black bears walking on two legs, and the hair on their bodies is dyed with strange-shaped emblems, which Mu Yan can tell is the totem of "Wooden Throat Village". Seeing the arrival of the three people, the brown bear man who looked like a guard at the entrance of the village immediately leaned in.

"Where are you going?" Not only is his lingua franca pronounced, but the word order is also very problematic.

But is this a rare surprise to our legendary scholars!

"We went to the Gray Valley, and when we passed through this place, we saw the members of your tribe hurrying with a worried face, did we encounter any problems?" Mu Yan replied politely.

Seeing that the other party actually knew his own language, the attitude of the bearren guards immediately improved a lot.

"[Xiong] is nothing, it's just that Lin Jing came to steal the honey, and Susanna, the daughter of the village chief of Ochie, lost it." The bear man said with a big grin. "You may have to wait a day or two to get over, the troublemakers blocked the road to Ashenvale with thorns, and my people are cleaning it up."

The forest spirit in his mouth is an evolution of a wood-based demonic beast of more than twenty levels, and the level 40 demonic beast wood spirit mentioned by Zayx before belongs to their prototype. It's just that the former is a mischievous intelligent life, and the latter gains great power at the cost of losing his mind, and then travels thousands of miles to the town of Beloka to deliver apples to Lorov.

"It's no wonder that it's winter, and it's strange that the restless nature of the forest spirit can store enough food." Mu Yan said with emotion.

"[The bear] isn't it, if they don't do too much, we can just turn a blind eye, but this time the dwarfs not only didn't leave, but they even mixed rat feces with honey! I also said that it was a condiment while eating! How can this be endured! The bearren guards were furious. Of course I didn't mean to target your companions, those guys are much cuter than him. ”

The poor dwarf was inadvertently targeted again.

Mu Yan really wanted to laugh when he heard this, Lin Jing is a plant body, and rat feces are indeed a condiment for them, but they have worked hard for this group of honest and honest bear people.

"What do you call [Xiong] big brother?"

"[Xiong] just call me Biru, don't talk, there's another group of adventurers over there." As he spoke, Biru threw down Mu Yan and greeted him.

The comer is a five-person adventure team, one battle, one herd, one thief and two shots, this kind of long-range and close combat is divided in half, and it is very common to use archers instead of mages to provide long-range firepower, because compared to the scarce and delicate mages, the sturdy shooters can also be used as scouts most of the time, which can be described as offensive and defensible, and the price is cheap.

The warrior led by him was wearing bright silver scale armor, carrying a half-human-high studded oak shield, and a seventy-centimeter-long sheathed short sword inserted in his waist.

Most of the equipment in the early stage of "Dusk Era" is mainly practical, and the appearance is really not good, but Rao is so, many warrior players at level 40 can't make up this set. Strictly speaking, as far as Mu Yan is concerned, the lucky ones who have been gifted by the white-robed mage and are equipped with luxurious equipment are only equipped with weapons and rings, and there are no robes, heads, rings, necklaces, medals or anything, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are in a state of semi-nakedness.

While Mu Yan was looking at others, the other party was also looking at him, for no other reason, in this kind of wilderness, it was already very strange to see a young mage, shouldn't a mage of this age stay in the academy? Especially since this mage is still hooking up with dwarves, which is even more strange.

The latter is a notoriously vulgar race, swearing at all times, and the superb forging skills of one hand cannot provide any help to the mage, how did these two completely wrong guys get together?
