Chapter 61: Ring Three and Yi'er
"Since you're going to be away for a while, I won't say much, I'll be waiting for you on the other side of the world. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Nobuki decides to go to the Plains of Ice Moss with Hiiragi to complete the quest for the Ancient Bone Coin Fragments, and suddenly remembers that the demon Haggis has helped him many times, so he goes to the altar of the Nest Spirit to say goodbye.
Haggis only said a few words, and the last sentence made Shinshu not quite understand, and before Shinshu could ask, Haggis had disappeared into the magic array.
Back on the surface, seeing the blue sky and white clouds and the dazzling sunlight, Nobuki realized that he had been in the underground world for a long time, and he was almost moldy.
The Frosty Tundra is located in the southern part of the Conch Continent, and Nobuki and Hiiragi flew for several hours in the White Sand Village on the Hippogriff before arriving at the main city of the Frosty Plains, which had been shrouded in wind and snow for many years.
The main town of the Frosty Tundra is large, with a complex of buildings resembling a medieval castle in the middle, and the blue-and-white crystal palace in the middle is home to its owner, the Ice Empress.
The deserted streets are filled with only a few heavily robed aborigines in ice-and-stone houses, and there are far fewer players here than in the main cities inland. The main reason is that the environment is harsh, there is nothing interesting for players to have fun, except for players who complete specific tasks or are interested in ice and snow, and the rest is almost for the treasure in the ice cave maze behind the crystal palace, which is not difficult to explain that there are not many people in the main city.
Crunch!
When the door to the tavern was opened, a wave of heat rushed out of the room, and several people in the room glanced at the strange young man and woman, muttered a few words, and then continued to drink the warm wine from the stone and wood cups.
The sound of the wind and snow came to an abrupt halt as soon as the letter tree brought it to the door, and the crackling and burning flames in the tavern fireplace made the whole tavern much warmer. The tavern is probably the busiest part of the main town of the Icemoss Plains, so it's almost full, except for a table in the corner where a guy who seems to be walking alone.
The guy's black messy hair was tied into a small braid at the back of his head, a long knife with a sheath pinned to his waist, and a cage made of bamboo behind his back.
No wonder no one around wanted to share a table with him, this guy was dressed strangely and sloppily, and dressed very much like the kind of ascetic monk in the deep mountains and old forests, but his slightly bloated figure really couldn't match the word ascetic.
After Nobuki and Hiiragi sat down, the guy didn't raise his head, and was grabbing the barbecue on the plate with his greasy hand and biting it, as if he hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
"Hey, hello, I'm the Black Leaf Tree." In the face of this embarrassing situation, it can only be broken by the letter tree.
"Hmm." The guy sitting opposite just raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and glanced at Nobuki and Hiiragi Yexi, squeezing out a word from his shiny lips.
Nobuyuki quietly took out a piece of food unique to the underworld from the package, roasted blind suckling pig, and placed it on the wooden table.
"I have a roast suckling pig here, would you like to try it?"
After a few more bites of barbecue, the fat man opposite twitched his nose a few times, looked up and saw the roast blind suckling pig on the table, grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word, not caring who the owner of this roasted blind suckling pig was.
Blind suckling pigs live in the underworld, and their eyes have deteriorated because they have lived in the dark for a long time. They have a well-developed sense of smell and hearing, and feed on fungi and various small insects, and their flesh is tender and juicy. The roasted suckling pig made by the top chefs has three main characteristics: the ears and nose are chewy, the main body is tender and juicy, the bones are crispy and refreshing, and the sauce and mushroom seasoning unique to the underground world are a must.
Hiiragi didn't understand why Nobuki gave an expensive roasted blind suckling pig to a stranger who had just met, and the guy opposite didn't seem to be educated at all, so he only cared about eating, and wouldn't even say thank you.
Nobuki didn't speak, and Hiiragi Yexi didn't speak until the fat man finished eating the roasted blind suckling pig.
"How's it going, is it delicious?" Nobuyo opened his mouth and looked at the fat man on the other side who kept sucking his fingers, and asked with a smile.
"Well, I've eaten this dish from the Underworld before, and it tastes different." The buddy finally raised his head, opened half of his eyelids, looked at the letter tree and said vaguely.
Of course, this is the barbecue recipe that Xinshu himself has spent a lot of effort researching, and it is the only one, there is no other semicolon, and outsiders have no chance to eat it.
"If you want to eat, join my team, I'm doing a mission, and I'm short of manpower." After speaking, Nobuki took out the black worm berries he had collected from the spirit of the nest and placed them on the table.
The Black Worm Berry is a fruit unique to the Nest Spirit tribe, which appears to be a finger-sized fat black caterpillar, but is actually a fruit.
Eating this fruit should not be bitten in small bites because of the psychological effect of fear, but you need to swallow it boldly and confidently, bite it in the mouth, let the pulp burst out of the mouth, and as the refreshing and cool feeling fades, the mellow and sweet taste will extend to every cell of the body, making people want to stop.
"Yikes." Hiiragi Yexi couldn't help frowning when she saw Nobuki swallowing a black caterpillar in one gulp, and let out a slight exclamation.
"Do you want to have a few, you are guaranteed to remember it for the rest of your life, and remember to bite it in your mouth."
Originally, Hiiragi Yexi wanted to refuse, but seeing the fat man's expression from resistance to doubt, and finally a look of surprise, Hiiragi Yexi reluctantly picked up a black insect berry and stuffed it into his small mouth.
Seeing Hiiragi's puzzled and satisfied expression, Nobuki gave up his plan to take out the berries at the bottom of the box in the package. It's better to enjoy it in private, no matter how much it is, it's not enough for the fat man on the other side.
The staple food and fruit are there, and the rest is the fat man's self-introduction.
"I'm Jiesan, and I'm a stray knife envoy, please take care of me." The fat man's introduction is very simple, compared to the previous attitude of focusing on food, it is much more formal, I believe that it was Nobuki's actions that moved Jiesan, because his eyes have been staring at Nobuki's hand, hoping that Nobuki can conjure up more tricks.
Ring three, LV88. The level is indeed very high, but Hiiragi Yexi has never heard of this person at all. There was a calm look on the face of the letter tree beside him, and he didn't seem to be surprised, Hiiragi Ye Xi didn't seem to know each other from the attitude of the three rings towards the letter tree.
"You know?" Hiiragi asked the letter tree quietly.
"I know him, but he doesn't know me," Nobuti blinked, Hiiragi couldn't tell if Nobuki was lying, and then Nobuki added, "The Wandering Knife makes the ability of the three rings unfathomable, but he is low-key, and he doesn't like to show his strength in public, let alone be in the limelight, so it's normal that no one has heard of his name." ”
"So how do you know?"
"I'm a real intelligence monger, and this bit of information is nothing." Shinki rubbed his hands together and smiled.
"You already knew that Jiesan was here today?" Hiiragi Yexi looked at the ordinary fat man on the other side, if it weren't for the rank that couldn't deceive people, Hiiragi Yexi would never believe the words of the letter tree.
"No, coincidentally, I was having a headache about where to recruit suitable thugs, but I didn't expect there to be one in front of me." It turned out that the food and fruits just now were the reward for buying the third precepts, how could Xinshu do a loss-making business.
"I've never liked to owe someone what do you need me to do for you." Jiesan is not stupid, he has already figured out the intentions of the letter tree, although the reward is nothing more than a roasted blind suckling pig and fruit, but it is enough.
"Ice Cave Demon Dragon, level 85 team-type boss, meat shield is easy to recruit, the tavern is everywhere, and the most troublesome thing is that there is no support mage." Mages are already hard to find, and high-level mages are even rarer. If you let an elite team with a level of 80 or more join a support mage, it will make the strategy more effective with half the effort.
"Hee-hee, can Yi'er join?" When the letter tree was at a loss, a pretty girl suddenly popped up next to her, with two ponytails swaying, and an ancient cat with squinting eyes in her arms.
The archaic cat is a type of cat in the Conch Continent with a short tail and skeletal stripes on its back.
The cat in the arms of the self-proclaimed girl has a yin and yang face, and the two pupils are different colors, one is gold and the other is aqua blue. What's even more interesting is that Yi'er's hair is mixed with black and white, causing her double ponytail to be different colors, one black and one white, which complements the ancient cat.
"You, you know?" Nobuyuki was startled by the elusive Yi'er, turned around and asked Jiesan, and when he saw Jiesan's innocent expression, Xinshu knew that he had asked in vain.
"No, Yi'er was just passing by, and I heard that you need a support mage, and Yi'er is a mage." Yi'er was smiling from beginning to end, in stark contrast to the cold Hiiragi Yexi, worthy of being a youthful girl, especially the slender long legs and white lotus-like arms, even in the ice and snow outside, it will definitely make people's blood boil, yo!
Of course, only Nobuki was thinking about these messy things. And Hiiragi is confirming Yi'er's information.
LV80, Spell Mage.
The Spell Mage is not very capable of direct combat, and is a typical support mage, suitable for team action, providing a booster buff to the team or a debuff to enemy units. There are no rigid class restrictions in Bonding Blade, so it is not excluded that the Spell Mage has recovery or damage skills.
"You're welcome to join us." Shinki stood up and shook Yi'er's hand, making Hiiragi Ha Xi disdain. Hiiragi Ha Xi now even wonders if yesterday's schizophrenic skill is a lie.
Xinshu can't manage so much, I didn't expect a big pie to fall from the sky, no matter what kind of stuffing it is, it's better than nothing.
"Yi'er is honored, you all look so strong."
"Where, where, it's all small roles." Xinshu didn't mean to let go, Yi'er didn't mind, but the ancient cat stretched out its paws to scratch Xinshu with a snort, which frightened Xinshu and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
Xinshu didn't expect the team to be perfected so quickly, and recruited a few meat shield warriors above level 80 at a high price, and an elite small team of more than ten people was organized.
After discussing the rules for the distribution of the spoils, the big guys turned into the cold wind and drove towards the ice cave maze behind the crystal palace.
