(If you want to hear more of your voices, and want to receive more of your suggestions, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" now and follow to give more support!) System: Triggers the task "Distorted Meaning".
Explanation: Lukaya's classic ideas can be distorted to this extent, as his heir, you absolutely can't bear it, you must find the weapon model left by Luyaka and correct the thoughts of these stupid orc blacksmiths.
One of the originally dim quest bars lit up, indicating that it was one of a series of quests. This kind of triggered regional series of tasks is the last thing Jiang Li wants to see, but now he has no choice, and he has to do it.
"It doesn't matter if I'm crooked or not, as far as your mother's character is concerned, you deserve to die early." Jiang Li muttered quietly to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Huh? What did you say? The bear man scratched his ears and asked innocently.
"Didn't say anything, this is the model left by the previous blacksmith for you, I want to know where the original model is."
"The first sample? I lost it a long time ago, maybe it was stolen by the lizardmen, or maybe my grandfather hid it. Seeing that Jiang Li didn't mean to buy his weapon, the bear man led Jiang Li out, and he was not dissatisfied because he was disturbed from work, and he always had a cute smile.
"Where do I go to find the lizardman who stole something?"
"The lizardman who stole something? Lizardmen steal, my grandfather has been dead for more than fifty years. How could I possibly know where the lizardman who stole his stuff was. There was a mocking smile on his face, and Jiang Li also felt that his question was silly enough. Ask the person who lost the object where the thief is, and he has a fight with some mentally handicapped policeman.
"Oh. Do you know where the lizardmen's lair is? Jiang Li could only weakly continue to ask.
"Lizardmen often move, and where there is good ore, they will gather there, and no one really knows where the nest is." The bear man shook his head and left Jiang Li to go back to the studio by himself.
Jiang Li had no choice but to continue shopping, inquiring about the news while trying to see if he could trigger other tasks.
Turning a few blacksmith shops along the street, it was already late. Jiang Li bought a lot of food and wine at a restaurant and returned to Daddy Heimer's house.
Wine over three rounds of food over five flavors. Jiang Li led the conversation to his goal.
"Daddy Hemmer, I've always heard you say that you suffered a loss from the lizardmen when you obtained the Mithril Mine, and this lizardman is generally not of a high level, with your and Gruul's combat power. You shouldn't be hurt. Jiang Li knew that although the lizardmen lived in groups, they would not help each other, and under normal circumstances, they only took care of their own families, even their immediate family members were not important to them, so the lizardmen tribe was the best to strangle.
Hemmer put down his glass and shook his head helplessly, "I've basically been fighting with these beasts all my life, and I know more about them than anyone else, but I didn't expect to be calculated by the beasts this time." I really didn't expect that the lizardmen with unified command would be so powerful. ”
"Unity of command? Someone accused the lizardman? ”
"No, these lizardmen around us are different from normal lizardmen. It is said that these lizards have to choose a leader every few decades. If a leader is elected, the lizardmen's combat power will be significantly increased. I think that's what happened to me this time. I didn't expect that the lizardmen who had been scattered in the past had a unified command, and the combat power that erupted would be so strong. Hemmer was still embarrassed, if it weren't for Gruul's desperate breakthrough, he would have confessed to the lizardmen this time.
"There are chiefs, who migrate from metal mine to mine. Is it an iron-eating lizard? Such a term suddenly popped up in Jiang Li's database, if he remembered correctly. Iron-eating lizards are extinct and haven't been seen for thousands of years.
"Iron-eating lizards? Your name is apt, they do eat metal, and I've seen a lizard swallow a fist-sized amount of metal ore into its stomach. Guru, who had been eating with his head down, suddenly interjected, and the food scraps immediately sprayed out.
"Stop eating yours, don't interject." Hemmer immediately spoke out to stop Gruul, there was a lot of food left on the table, and if it made Gruul squirt, he would not have to eat himself. Recently, his life has been very difficult, and he has not eaten such good food for a long time.
"I should have realized that if it weren't for the fact that there was already a commander among the lizardmen, they wouldn't have snatched my transport cart so smoothly."
Jiang Li thought for a moment and asked. "When was that?"
"Of course, a month and a half ago, when my convoy was robbed." Hemmer replied casually.
"No, if the leader had just appeared at that time, he wouldn't have been able to get all the lizardmen to support his assignment, and he wouldn't have been able to grab a large convoy. The appearance of the leader should have been even earlier. "In Jiang Li's experience, all rulers need a buffer period when they appear, and lizardmen are certainly no exception.
"If that's what you say, it's even harder to mine in the future." Hemmer's already sad face became more and more embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I'm asking you for information about the Lizardmen in preparation for fighting them. I'm going to visit the lizardmen's lair and their mines, get some metal materials for you, and get revenge by the way. Jiang Li naturally said the words he had prepared a long time ago.
"That's great, if you can get precious metal out of the lizardmen's mines, I'll have a chance to do well in this blacksmith competition. As long as you can succeed, I will definitely thank you very much. Haimer was already excited, and stood up and drew circles back and forth.
…………
Jiang Li slept in Haimer's warehouse for four hours, and he set off as soon as it was dawn, and after nearly five hours of long travel, he finally found the mine that Haimer's father said.
Jiang Li's task bar once again has three more tasks, "Reclaim the Ownership of the Mine", "The Tasteless Blacksmith Competition", and "Daddy Haimer's Request". The first two are part of Jiang Li's series of missions, and the second one is just an ordinary mission released by Haimer.
Sure enough, as Hemmer said, a large tribal group formed around the mine. Like other lizard tribes. There were no defenses on the periphery of the tribe, but a very rudimentary tower was built in the middle of the tribe. This watchtower is manned by sentinels all year round and is the only defense facility for the lizard tribe.
This simple defensive measure naturally couldn't stop Jiang Li, he sneaked into the tribe after stealing, and soon after, Jiang Li saw the residents here. Outwardly, these lizardfolk are slightly different from normal lizardmen. Their bodies are stronger, and their scales are shinier. In addition, these lizardmen's weapons, Jiang Li found that the lizardmen's weapons were very sophisticated, much better than the weapons of the aborigines he had seen before.
Got the information he wanted, Jiang Li Yuan Lu exited the camp. Removed from his invisibility and walked back to the camp again. Soon he met with the lizardmen who lived here.
"Who?" The lizardman took a vigilant step back and shouted loudly, alarming all the lizardmen around him.
"God's Chosen One, Darkblade, I'm here to buy something."
"Buying something? What to buy? The lizardman who spoke to Jiang Li first was a little clever, and he felt that he should be able to gain some benefits from Jiang Li, so he immediately asked.
"As long as it's something I can see, no matter what it is. I've bought them all. Ores, weapons, recipes. Medicinal herbs, as long as they are valuable, I will accept them. ”
"That's great, do you have a hedroon?" The lizardman was immediately excited, and immediately offered what he wanted most.
"Of course, I have a reserve of any type of hedron, if the quantity is not enough. I can collect it again. ”
Of course, Jiang Li knew that the most needed material for the lizardmen was spars, compared to those rare ores that could only be eaten during the Chinese New Year's Festival. What they lack most is a hedron that can help them pass on their lineage.
Hearing Jiang Li's answer, the surrounding lizardmen immediately became excited and asked to trade with Jiang Li.
"Who would dare to do business with outsiders without the consent of the chief? Don't you all want to live? A roar came from the crowd, and the lizardman who had come was a head taller than his companions, and the scales that showed out of his simple short clothes were earthy yellow, and most notably his arms, which were solid and powerful, not at all like the arms of the lizardmen, but somewhat similar to the arms of the bear people.
"Chosen Son, you must get the approval of the leader to do business here, otherwise you will be considered an enemy." After the lizard warrior finished training his own kind, he turned around and roared at Jiang Li.
"Oh? The lizardfolk have a leader, too? Okay, then please take me to meet your leader. ”
Following behind the lizard warriors, Jiang Li remembered all the places he had passed, and by the way, he also counted the number of tents in the area he had passed, and roughly calculated, the total number of lizardmen living in this area exceeded 30,000, five times more than the thousands he imagined.
There are very few rules for lizard people, and Jiang Li, the lizard warrior, brought it directly into the leader's tent, and a lizardman who looked very similar to the lizard warrior was in a daze in his tent, staring at the table with his eyes motionless.
"Chief, God has chosen to trade with us."
"Oh? What do you want to buy? The lizard leader came back to her senses in an instant, and her tone of voice was very gentle, and it turned out to be a female lizard.
"As long as it is valuable, I will collect everything that can make money, and the most important thing is the high-grade ore and the weapons you have collected, as long as you don't need it, you can sell it to me." Jiang Li said it even more this time.
"If it's valuable, you buy it? I have five mines, do you want to buy them? The lizard leader let out a sneering chuckle, half-jokingly.
"Of course, as long as there is enough ore produced in it, I am willing to buy the mine." Jiang Li said confidently.
"I really didn't expect that there would be a big businessman like you in this closed space, so you should prove that you have this strength first." The lizard leader is very shrewd, she will not believe Jiang Li as an outsider just because of a few words.
"Is this identity enough?" Jiang Li thought about it for a while, and simply released the title of the city lord of Lingxiao City, he believed that as long as the lizardmen knew something about the outside world, they would definitely know about Lingxiao City.
Sure enough, after seeing this title, the lizard leader's attitude immediately became much more easy-going, but her next trade request startled Jiang Li.
