Chapter 2 Fierce Bull Village
"Knock knock."
The knock on the door woke up Zhao Kai, who was sleeping, and opened his hazy eyes, Zhao Kai sat up with his hands half-propped up. looked at his feet, although he had been in this familiar world for two days, Zhao Kai still felt uncomfortable with his feet turning into two hooves, well, the two horns on his head were not bad, and they felt cute.
Zhao Kai stood up, close to one meter nine in height, even among the minotaurs of the same age, he was considered tall, and the streamlined muscles on his body felt that they contained strong explosive power.
"Barr, Barr, do you hear me? Open the door. ”
A loud voice howled outside the door, making Barr's head a little uncomfortable. Ao, our Comrade Zhao Kai has had a new name since he came to this world and occupied the body of this young minotaur who was scattered for some reason: Baal.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's a little noise, and the whole village has heard it."
Barr hurriedly dressed and opened the door, where an authentic minotaur youth was standing in the doorway grinning, his big right hand still banging on the door.
Seeing Barr walk out angrily, the bull-headed young man touched his head embarrassedly.
The minotaur at the door is called Joseph, and it is Barr who has played since he was a child. Broad shoulders and wide body, big shoulders and round waist, half a head taller than Barr, and a full beard scum makes it hard to believe that this is a fifteen-year-old minotaur.
Since being struck by lightning two days ago, Zhao Kai woke up and found that he had become a minotaur.
After receiving the memories of his predecessor, Barr also roughly understood his current situation, and he seemed to have traveled to the virtual game Rand World, two months before the open beta, and now it is August 5658 in the continental calendar. If memory serves, the Open Beta of Rand World is in mid-October.
After clarifying his thoughts, Barr quickly calmed down, and there were still two months to go before the public test, and he had to rely on the advantage of foresight to obtain enough benefits. The influx of players will have a huge impact on this world, which is a crisis for the aborigines, but also a huge opportunity, and only by seizing the opportunity can we get the most out of it.
After all, in the three years before the completion of the World Devouring, the player power has a great advantage, because they can be resurrected when they die, although they will lose a certain amount of life, but for the aborigines, it is already a BUG-like existence. The aborigines have only one life, and if they die, they can only be resurrected with the help of some extremely precious items. For Barr, however, the benefits of being an Aboriginal are far greater.
The current location of Baal is the village of Fierce Bull on the northeastern border of the Orc Empire on the Red Earth Continent, which is a gathering area of the Minotaurs, and most of the Minotaurs of the Orc Empire live here.
The Red Earth Continent was one of the first continents to be opened when the game was launched in the previous life, and it belonged to the initial login location of Huaxia players. The Orc Empire is located in the northwest of the continent, bordering the Dwarven Grey Kingdom on the southwest side, the Goblin Business Alliance established by the Goblins, a subordinate race of the Orc Empire, to the south, and the Dolan Kingdom of humans on the northeast side.
The Red Earth Continent is a crescent-shaped continent that takes a bite from the middle, and in the middle is a huge inland sea: the Red Sea, which is inhabited by various races such as fishmen, naga, krakens, and sea monsters. The Western Continent is a gathering place for orcs, dwarves, elves and other races, and the East Road is occupied by the four kingdoms of humans, and there are some small communities scattered in the middle.
The minotaurs belong to the main battle race of the Orc Empire, and they have good physical fitness, almost all adult minotaurs can be a good warrior, and a few can be employed in the shaman profession. The Minotaurs belong to one of the upper races of the Orc Empire, but due to their low fertility, the size of the group is not large.
"Barr, what you said you wanted yesterday has been done, I'll bring it to you, you can see how it goes." The minotaur at the door touched his head embarrassedly, took out a big black iron clip and handed it over.
Barr hurriedly reached out and took it. This is the trap that Barr made yesterday with Uncle Mund in tow, and for this trap, Barr took out all the high-quality iron ore that his predecessor had saved for more than a year.
"Thank you, big head, by the way, help me thank Uncle Meng."
Joseph's nickname was Big Head, and Mondstadt was Joseph's father and a skilled master blacksmith. However, as an orc empire where blacksmiths are scarce, it is really surprising that there is a master blacksmith in a small village.
Barr grew up with his grandfather. As for their parents, where did they go, were they alive or dead? Barr didn't ask, and his grandfather didn't say it, that Barr had been living alone since his grandfather's death two years ago, and thanks to Uncle Mondstadt's care, he didn't end up on the streets.
Uncle Meng was not a native of the village, and I heard from my grandfather that Uncle Mondstadt brought the young Joseph to the village more than ten years ago and settled down, but the reason is unknown.
Barr looked at the trap in his hand, and a row of information came to mind.
Giant traps
Created by: Mondstadt Black Wind
Quality: Blue
Durability: 150/150
Weight: 20
Attack: 1000
Special effect:
Bite: Deals 50 bleeding damage per second.
Mega: Strength is below 30 and cannot be broken free.
This is an item created by Uncle Balbytomond, I thought it would be good to be able to create a green one with that pile of iron ore, but I didn't expect it to reach blue quality. is worthy of being a master blacksmith, and the success of the plan is even more certain.
This is the advantage of being a native, if the player wants Mondstadt to build a specific piece of equipment, needless to say, the materials will have to be brushed until they vomit blood, and then it depends on the mood whether they will do it or not.
"Barr, are you still going to mine today? I've heard that wolves have been infested south of the mine recently, and the village is about to organize a militia to clear it, so you have to be careful. Suddenly thinking of something, Joseph looked at Barr with a worried expression.
"Oh, I have other things to do recently, don't go mining, don't worry about the big head." Barr replied.
After Grandpa left, Barr learned mining skills from Uncle Meng and is now a senior miner. In addition to paying a portion of the ore to the village to obtain mining rights to the caves, the surplus ore was sold to earn some income, which was Baal's main means of livelihood in the past.
"What's the matter? Do you want me to help? ”
"No, it's just a small thing."
"Hehe, that's good, call me if you need help, I'm going back to help my dad strike iron, let's go." Joseph waved his hand and turned to leave.
Putting the giant trap in his backpack, Barr returned to the house to prepare breakfast.
The space backpack is an item that professionals will have after taking office, and as the level increases, the capacity will also increase, and now Baal's backpack only has 15 slots, and each slot can hold one item.
**********
Fierce Bull Village is a medium-sized village under the rule of Raging City, located at the foot of the southwest side of the Oran Mountains, more than 200 kilometers to the north is Raging City, and about 2,000 kilometers from the westernmost Red Sea.
Although it was the end of summer, the weather was not cool at all, it was seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the fiery red sun had begun to radiate its heat wantonly, every household in the village was already busy, the farmers had already picked up the guys and were busy in the fields, and the clanging sound of the iron not far away also injected a lot of vitality into this morning.
"I don't know how long this kind of peace will last." Barr sighed.
Recently, there has been a constant friction between orcs and humans, and there is a possibility of misfire at any time. In the previous life, five months after the game was launched, the first skirmish between orcs and humans broke out, and both sides suffered damage, but it ended in a hasty treaty soon after, but the contradictions between the two sides are getting deeper and deeper.
Looks like he's going to hurry.
