Chapter 452: Dark Crimson Gold
Nie Yan remembered that Hilton Fortress experienced a monster siege, and the NPCs here fought fiercely with the monsters for five days before the war ended. Players take the place of the NPCs defending the city and become the main force in the fight against monsters here.
The NPCs here are dressed in strange costumes and are covered with strange scale armor and the like, and because there are a large number of underground monsters attacking here every year, the NPCs have made armor from the scales taken from the corpses of these monsters, and these scales are of different sizes, so it looks a little weird.
Nie Yan found some NPCs and inquired, the whereabouts of the high-ranking Overseer Brecpierre are erratic, and he often goes to the underground caverns to hunt monsters, and only comes back after a long time.
"Where shall I go to find Mr. Brecpierre?" Nie Yan asked a fur merchant who was setting up a stall.
"Dear Demon Hunter, University Scholar, and Grand Thief Mr. Nervana, Mr. Breckle Pierre returns to Hilton Fortress every six days, and every time he returns, he brings back a large amount of loot to sell to us merchants and buy consumables. There is still a day left until he returns, so please be patient. "That NPC leather merchant said respectfully, Nie Yan's title made the leather merchant a little frightened, in the entire Hilton Fortress, Nie Yan can be regarded as a rare big man.
Nie Yan could only wait and strolled around the Hilton Fortress.
He tried to recall all the information related to Hilton Fortress in his previous life, and he suddenly remembered that Hilton Fortress had a secret shop, where a large number of hides of various monsters were sold, and sometimes even the skins of some rare and legendary monsters could be bought, and there were also a large number of drawings needed by tailors to make clothes, and occasionally some good things.
That secret shop will sell a certain amount of monster skins and drawings every day, and after being bought, it will not be refreshed repeatedly. If you haven't bought it for a long time, the items there will accumulate gradually. Before Nie Yan, there shouldn't have been any other players who had been to that secret shop, and there must have been a lot of good things accumulated there.
In addition to the secret shop, Hilton Fortress also has a slave trading market, where slaves are often sold from all over the world, and slaves are not the same as mercenaries. To hire a mercenary, you have to pay a certain amount of employment fees every once in a while, and if you don't pay for a certain period of time, you have to pay liquidated damages, and when the employment agreement expires, the mercenary will leave. And a slave, once you buy a slave, it means that he becomes your property.
The system sets that only players after one turn can have the qualification to buy slaves, and each player can only buy one slave. If you are the leader of a level 5 guild, you can buy three slaves, and if you are the leader of a guild level 5 or above, you can buy more slaves. Some special titles will also have different treatments.
Each slave had different gifts and talents. Some slaves are useless, while others are master-level production or combat occupations.
Nie Yan can take advantage of the fact that there are not many people coming to Hilton Fortress now, and these two places have not been discovered by the players, and go to find some good things.
If he finds a slave market, he can get all the players in the guild to buy a slave or two.
As for the exact location of these two places, Nie Yan had no impression and asked some NPCs, and those NPCs all said they didn't know.
Nie Yan remembered that he had an acquaintance in Hilton Fortress, and that was the physician Blevins.
Not long after Nie Yan first entered the game, he used to look for silk for Doctor Blevins at Rando Lake, when he was still a low-level player. He went to find the physician, Blevins, and might be able to find the exact location of the two places.
Nie Yan began to inquire about Doctor Blevins.
"Physician Bravens, he serves in the army of Hilton, and the army of Hilton Fortress has been stationed on the south side of the fort." A short old man told Nie Yan the answer.
Nie Yan walked towards the south side of the fortress as he walked around, and it took at least fifteen minutes to reach the south side of the Hilton fortress.
Walking to an open square, there were no buildings around, and looking north, there was a volcano in the distant sky, billowing black smoke upwards, forming a dark cloud that hung over the sky.
As Nie Yan walked, he heard several NPCs around him whispering about each other.
"Annfleet has been active again in the past two days, and it is estimated that it will erupt in five or six days, and the last eruption was about twenty years ago." An old man said in a hoarse tone.
"Mount Anfleet is so far away that it takes a long time to ride from Hilton Fort to Mount Annfleet, and its eruption is like a grand fireworks display for us." A young warrior laughed.
"In recent days, there have been two earthquakes in a row" The elderly man was a little pessimistic.
Hearing these words, Nie Yan smiled, young people and old people, the attitude of life is always different.
This is just a small episode, there are always a lot of NPCs talking on the street, Nie Yan listened to their conversation, and became familiar with some of the situation in Hilton Fortress, what surprised him was that Hilton Fortress actually had five high-level Overseers and thirty ordinary Overseers, which was extremely rare in other parts of the Greenland Empire, and there was only one high-level Overseer and two Overseers in the entire Carol City.
The strength of the garrison of Hilton Fortress can be imagined.
"Honorable Demon Slayer, University Scholar, and Grand Thief Mr. Nirvana, do you need anything? We've got the finest sulphur from Mount Amplet, and we've got an NPC grocer coming up.
"I'm sorry, I don't need to." Nie Yan shook his head and said.
The grocery merchant didn't dare to pester Nie Yan, so he retreated.
Annfleet, Andervoy muttered, he seemed to think of something, but he couldn't grasp it. His instincts told him that he seemed to be missing something, but he couldn't remember.
Am I being too careful? Nie Yan laughed, there was no connection between Anfleet Volcano and him!
I don't know how long the bustle of Hilton Fortress will last, and I don't know how long it will take for players to really enter and enrich the fortress.
Nie Yan walked on the streets of Hilton Fortress, with a sense of desolation and distantness, past and present life, he had witnessed the prosperity, glory and sorrow of this ancient fortress.
"Dark red gold from Mount Everit is sold here, do you need it, dear sir?" A short little boy, twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in shabby clothes, all covered in mud and dust, but his eyes were black and shiny, very smart, and he held a piece of dark red metal in his hand.
"I don't need it" Nie Yan didn't know how many vendors he had rejected to sell goods, he was used to refusing with his surname.
There was a hint of disappointment in the little boy's expectant eyes, and he was about to turn his head away.
"Wait, is it dark red gold?" Nie Yan suddenly nervously stopped the little boy and asked, staring at the dark red gold in the little boy's hand, this piece of metal emitted a dark red deep light, it is indeed dark red gold, at least 3 quality! He almost missed out on a good thing.
"Yes, dear sir, this is the dark red gold from Mount Annfleet, which I picked up from the crater of Mount Annfleet, and an old man told me that it could sell for two gold coins." The little boy said seriously, in his opinion, two gold coins were a great fortune.
"Can you show me?" Nie Yan asked, he smiled a little, a piece of 3-quality dark red gold, at the current market price, can be sold for at least one or two thousand gold coins, it is an excellent material for making shield warrior armor, it is very rare in the market, and it is generally not available. The little boy actually said that it was only worth two gold coins, and Nie Yan looked at the little boy's name, which was Calens.
"Yes." The little boy Kalens handed the dark red gold to Nie Yan.
Nie Yan confirmed, it was 3 quality, yes.
"Will you buy it, sir?" The little boy Kalens looked at Nie Yan pleadingly and asked.
"Yes." Nie Yan nodded, he found some details, the little boy Karlens was skinny, a little malnourished, his hands were full of black mud, and there were some burns on his hands.
"Great, dear sir, thank you." Cullens said excitedly.
Seeing Calens' miserable appearance, Nie Yan's heart softened, and he said, "This piece of dark red gold is more than two gold coins. ”
"And how much is it worth?" Cullens asked, with a confused look in his eyes.
"It's worth a thousand gold coins, if you had a thousand gold coins, what would you do with it?"
Cullens paused, and said firmly, "I'll use the money to rescue my companion." ”
Nie Yan placed a thousand gold coins on the trading column and confirmed the transaction with Culens, he didn't understand why he was so stupid to buy this piece of dark red gold with a thousand gold coins, maybe under the indifferent appearance, Nie Yan still had a trace of innocence that had not been extinguished.
"Thank you, dear sir, and may the Lord bless you." Cullens knelt down at Nie Yan, fell to the ground, and touched the ground with his head, which was the most pious and solemn etiquette! This is the expression of gratitude in Cullens' heart.
Nie Yan was stunned by this solemn etiquette, and was about to say something, when Cullens got up and ran towards the side alley, and soon disappeared at the end of the alley.
Seeing Cullens walking away, Nie Yan felt a trace of emotion in his heart, which was actually for an NPC.
Nie Yan was about to continue walking, when he suddenly found that there was an additional status in the surname status column of his character: honesty.
Just now he told Cullens that the Crimson Gold was worth a thousand gold coins, and that he was rewarded with an honest caste by the system.
Nie Yan had three states before, namely justice, courage, and benevolence, and now there is one more honesty, what task did the mastermind arrange? Nie Yan was really a little puzzled, he could only slowly solve this puzzle.
~~ Speechless about the efficiency of the political axe, what can be done in a few minutes, must be delayed for several days, let people wait there, a lack of this and a lack of that, just don't make it clear, tomorrow I have to run, tomorrow should be able to get it done, if the day after tomorrow is sure that it's okay, there will be at least three more, and it may also break out.
