Chapter 8: Island in the middle of the lake

After admiring the game for a while, I looked for the mountain I was going to. In fact, there is no need to look for it, when I enter the tiger area again, I can already see the shadow of the snow peak when I look up, and after I get out of the forest, I see a lake as soon as I look up, and the peak I am looking for is in the middle of this lake!

Don't think about it, you have to wade in order to complete this task!

Looking at a wave of clear water, the width of the lake is estimated, and it is at least 500 meters! Do I want to swim over, obviously this is an unrealistic idea, there is a lake and there will be boats, I opened the system map, and the buffer zone I am in now has a nice map name - the Wizard of Oz.

There are a few yellow dots on the map that represent NPCs, so of course you should look for NPCs in this case!

"Young adventurer! Are you leaving the Wizard of Oz? The magical beasts outside are very powerful, and your current level can't leave the Wizard of Oz! ”

The first NPC I encountered was an exit guard, this guard was not like those bastards at the west gate of the novice village, his straight body reminded me very kindly!

"Captain of the Guard! I want to go to the snow-capped mountains in the center of the lake, but I don't know what to do? ”

"Adventurer! Did you go to Snow Peak to look for traces of immortals? ”

Immortals? The old beggar man really looked like an immortal when he rode the wind and clouds......

"It's not! There was an old man who asked me to send a letter up the mountain! ”

"Adventurer, you can talk to Kende, the grocer, who knows how to get to the snowy peak in the middle of the lake!"

Designated by the NPC, I hurriedly thanked and left, and found the grocer Kender at the location of the Wizard of Oz 212.235!

"Hey! Dude, is there anything you want to buy? ”

This time I had to pay a price for dealing with a businessman, so I clicked on the grocery store and took a cursory look at it, and immediately affirmed that it was a black store. The things in the list of items are all expensive to death, the novice village sells three silver coins and a return to the city, here it actually costs 1 gold coin, thinking that he really didn't bring it back to the city when he went out, he took out a gold coin and bought the return to the city.

"Young people! Need to buy something? I've got everything here! ”

This middle-aged bearded black businessman! Blowing nonsense, although I also want to ask directly about the way to go to the snow peak in the middle of the lake, but I still plan to fool him:

"Boss! Do you really buy everything here? ”

"Of course! My bearded Kende merchant runs all over the world, and I collect everything! ”

"I want to buy an artifact! Do you sell it? ”

"This ...... This ......" The bearded Kende was speechless for a while, and I also despised it in my heart: "If you are a little NPC of dozens of levels, if you can also sell artifacts, the system will be really brain-dead!" ”

"Nope! Businessmen just like to brag? ”

My little taunt unexpectedly made the bearded man angry, and the grocer roared at me:

"I'm not bragging! I don't have an artifact, but I know the whereabouts of it! ”

What! My eyes widened the whole thing, this little NPC actually knows the whereabouts of the artifact?

"Uncle! You won't lie to me, will you! It's just bragging, everybody will! ”

"You young man! You're doubting my bearded Kende's credibility again! Under the snowy peaks in the middle of the lake in the Wizard of Oz, there are artifacts used by legendary immortals! ”

Obviously, this NPC belongs to hearsay, but he didn't expect to set up the snow peak in the middle of the lake.

"Uncle! Are you sure? There is an artifact under the snowy peak in the middle of the lake! ”

"Humph! Young adventurer, don't try to find out the news of the artifact, and the immortals on the snow peak are super strong ones that you will never be able to face! ”

"Uncle Kentuck! I'm a young man, and I wouldn't expect anything to be a weapon! But I have an adventurous heart that makes me yearn for any legendary existence! "In order to get advice, I'm kind of a sensible official.

The bearded Kender looked at me in a daze.

"It's good to be young! When I was younger, I traveled the world and ventured all over the world. What a youth worth remembering! ”

"Uncle! I think I'm going to the snow peak in the middle of the lake! When I have no way to pass, I think you can help me! It's just an adventurer's wish! Uncle Kentuck, you will never refuse the ideals of a young adventurer! ”

"Hmmm! The spirit of adventure needs to be inherited by you young people! If you want to get to the snowy peaks in the middle of the lake, you have to find anglers. ”

"Where's the angler?"

"He's mostly fishing at the lake, you should be able to see him along the shore!"

Finally got a reminder, thanked the uncle, and began to search from top to bottom by the lake.

Looking for anglers by the lake, looking at the beautiful scene of the Wizard of Oz, I suddenly found that my mission seemed to be a bit oriental, immortals, that is the existence of local Chinese myths and legends, did I actually take on a task of cultivating immortals?

Task to send a letter,The system just gave a very simple explanation.,In addition to not going offline within the specified time.,There's not necessarily any other hint.,The journey from the novice village to the Wizard of Oz isn't necessarily that difficult.,The reward for this task I think is at most some gold coins and experience.。

Although the old beggar seems a little mysterious, it is impossible to send a letter to let me get the best equipment or hide the profession!

While I was thinking, a poem came from not far away:

"Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow. ”

To be able to recite such coquettish poems in this place, needless to say, it must be the angler I am looking for!

The Wizard of Oz lake, a flat boat floating on the clear waves, a simple wooden boat with a man in a cloth, holding a green bamboo, is fishing.

This Wizard of Oz is beautiful like a fantasy, although this angler looks like an ordinary NPC, but it has a momentum that I can't fathom, he fishes in the lake by himself and in a boat, but it always makes me feel that the landscape and people are one.

"Uncle! Can you please take me to the Snow Peak in the middle of the lake? ”

"I haven't caught a single fish today, so I don't have the time to take you to Snow Peak." The angler refused my request outright, but I don't think it would be so useless.

"I have something important to go to the snow peak, and if you send me to the middle of the lake, it won't delay you too much."

"My wife said that if I can't catch a fish, I won't be able to go home!" The angler still wandered leisurely and casually found a reason to refuse me.

"You just sent me over, and I can come back later!"

This NPC is really hard to talk to! But now the only way is to beg him. Don't let me cut down trees and make a raft by myself!

Even if I can make a raft, I'm afraid that the stipulated time has passed.

"Wait, young man, maybe I'll catch a fish later! Wouldn't it be the same when I came back to pick you up at that time? "This NPC is truly invincible.

I sat down on the shore of the lake, and watched the anglers in the lake fishing without talking much.

Sometimes, though, you'll get bored of watching things for a long time, but when I watched the clouds on the snow peak change for the seventy-second time, it meant that I had been sitting here for an hour and a half, and the angler in the lake remained still, and the bamboo pole in his hand was unresponsive! If this guy can't catch a fish, I'm going to sit until the end of the mission.

It seems to feel my impatience, the fish in the lake is finally hooked, only to see the bamboo rod in the hand of the angler shake gently, the tip of the bamboo bent into a half moon, the silk thread is straight, it seems that the big fish in the lake has been hooked!

"What a fat fish!" The angler straightened up, shook his hands vigorously, and a large fish was dragged out of the lake by him, and with his skillful movements, it soon landed on the boat.

"That's it! Let's get on board, lad! ”

The fish was caught, and the angler did not stay any longer, and the boat shook and landed on the shore, and the angler summoned me to the boat.

Now I still have three and a half hours left in my mission, and it should be possible to complete it overall!

The boat drove very steadily, and there were no lake monsters that suddenly jumped out of the lake, and I reached the snow peak in the middle of the lake safely in a few minutes.

As soon as I stepped on the snow peak, the cold air on the mountain rushed in, and I shivered in an instant.

No matter what the cold is, waiting for the monsters going up the mountain is the most worrying thing!

"Young man! You're going up the mountain? ”

Seeing that I was about to go up the mountain, the angler suddenly asked behind him.

This NPC took the initiative to talk to me, so it means that I must be able to get some hints from his abilities.

"Yes! I'm going to send a letter to the people of the Snow Pavilion on the mountain! But the level of the monsters here is too high, I'm afraid I can't deliver them! ”

"A Peak Snow Pavilion? If you're going up the mountain, you can go find the woodcutter! He knows a shortcut up the mountain, and there's no monster interference! ”

The angler finally kindly told me the way up the mountain, if I don't know how to talk to NPCs in this messenger mission, I'm afraid I won't be able to send it at all, after getting the woodcutter's location from his mouth. I said goodbye to him.

At the foot of the snowy peak in the middle of the lake, I soon found the woodcutter who was really chopping wood, like the fisherman, this stout middle-aged man, also reciting an out-of-tune poem:

Panasonic asked the boy, and the teacher went to collect medicine. Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and do not know where. ”

What are a fisherman and a woodcutter doing with such a crepe? Fiercely disdainful of the system, I continued to ask:

"This big brother! Can I ask you about something? ”

"Young man! Don't you see I'm busy? Today I have to chop a hundred pieces of firewood in exchange for wine money, so I don't have time to talk to you! ”

I was rejected again, I watched this stout man chopping wood, but I didn't see him cutting with a knife, this woodcutter doesn't use a knife, he chops wood with the palm of his hand! Chopping him with a slap and slashing a dozen times, the thigh-thick tree in front of him at the moment did not move!

I'll go! If he waits for him to cut a hundred, then I don't know what year and month it will be!

"Big brother! Why don't you chop wood with axes and knives? ”

"I sold it to a restaurant for the money in exchange for wine!"

Damn, you're fierce! I looked at this cow man speechlessly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration.

"Big brother! Shall I chop it for you? ”

"You cut it for me? Fine! If you could chop a hundred pieces of firewood, I'll tell you what you know!" ”

No way! I was called to chop wood, but I didn't hear the prompt of receiving the task, it seems that this is voluntary labor!

I took out my warrior's sword and swung it a few times, but it only shaved off some of the bark, Grandma's! These fifth-level weapons are waste materials, throw the warrior's sword into the baggage, and take out the tiger roaring knife! Although the equipment can't increase the attack power, the sharpness of the Tiger Roar Knife is natural, and the power of my twelfth level 125 points is swung up, and I suddenly cut a deep hole in the tree!

"This knife is good!" After the woodcutter handed over the chopping of wood to me, he somehow touched a wine jug from there, sat on a tree stump, poured wine and praised the tiger's roaring knife!

He's meowing! If I don't get a good reward for this mission, I won't be playing Warrior in the future! Watching people drink wine comfortably, I wielded the tiger roaring knife at a faster speed, brushing! One tree after another was cut down, and I was able to collect three pieces of firewood from one big tree, and it took another hour, and after I was almost tired, I finally completed the task of a hundred firewoods!

The woodcutter accepted the wood I had chopped with satisfaction, and he, who had already drunk it, told me with a burp:

"Uh...... You're going up the mountain! Promise! See that path? I've walked so many times, you just have to follow the route and go straight up! ”
