Chapter 674: Swamp Trip (3)
Chapter 674: A Trip to the Swamp
After dinner, I sent off the Trustees, told Tia and Monica not to get too close to the Five Rangers, and set out on an adventure to the swamp.
First, I had to go to the Adventurer's Guild to register and become an Adventurer.
As soon as I went out, I unexpectedly saw the half-demon man, so I asked Tia to recruit him as a clerk, and then went straight to the adventurer's guild.
Leo has long said that a good protagonist should have a wonderful adventure, but I don't care about it, in addition to sending the merfolk back, my other purpose is to test the skills of magicians in actual combat, and make some money to go back by the way.
Speaking of which, the underground treasure is lying in my Sumeru bracelet like this, plus a large number of living materials stored before, which are not used much now, it is indeed a bit of a waste of space, and the space vacated by the remains of Bimeng can be decorated with other things.
As for the space earrings and the gold tooth, they are not very useful.
I even thought that when I left in a hurry, I should actually leave the space gold tooth to Sansan's......
As an adventurer, I didn't use a warrior, a shaman, or an archer or anything, but a low-level magician.
And the level of the wandering wizard Vincent is intermediate.
So, we formed a team, and Vincent became my subordinate, much to the surprise of some people who knew Vincent.
Since you are an adventurer, you have to take on the task.
Taling helped me sift through a few ruin-related tasks, such as killing a mutated fish-man, collecting some poisonous moss that grew in the ruins, and so on.
"Find something difficult," Leo said, "for example, challenge the high-level Warcraft Dragon Scale Crocodile King who is at the top of the list?" ”
Killing the Dragon Scale Crocodile King is one of the most difficult tasks, and it hangs on the top of the most conspicuous wall in the Adventurer's Guild Hall, alongside the Demonized Monitor Lizard and the Poisonous Water Spider King of the same level.
These three monsters are also the strongest creatures in the swamp, however, they are not the most troublesome.
It's not that they are not strong, in fact, even the mage tower will not easily enter to find trouble with them, but they are all the most powerful, and their intelligence is correspondingly the highest, they all have their own territory, they will not leave at will, and they will not recklessly start wars with each other, so that third parties will take advantage of them.
So for adventurers, as long as they don't go deep into their territory and provoke them, there is no danger at all.
The trouble is still those subhuman fish people and some difficult creatures that are not as strong as others, and it is said that there are monsters, undead spirits, warlocks, wizards and other outlaws hiding in them.
These are all common knowledge that you need to know to venture into the swamp.
I knew Leo was joking, and I didn't say anything before I got ready to go.
When a few warrior-like humans saw us pushing the tank, they leaned over and asked Vincent, "Your Excellency the Magician, do you need to hire a few people to do the work?" This car doesn't look light! ”
Vincent looked at me and I said, "It's okay, how do you calculate the commission?" ”
The soldier was a little surprised to see that I was the leader, but he still asked, "It depends on where it is delivered......
"Send this thing to the Green Mist Ruins," I said, "it shouldn't be difficult, right?" ”
Several fighters looked at each other and said, "Four...... No, five gold coins, pack back and forth! ”
Vincent frowned slightly, then quietly blinked three times.
"Three," I said, "at a fixed price, the return is easy." ”
The fighters were hesitating, and a man came over and said, "Three, we are willing to take it!" ”
When I saw it, it was an acquaintance - the camel man in the Five Rangers, the snake and the double-bladed Jabas.
I asked Leo, "You let them come?" Doesn't that mean less contact with them? ”
"It's not good to avoid it," Leo said, "naturally." ”
I said, "How many of you?" ”
Jabas said: "Five people, guaranteed safe delivery. ”
I said, "Five people, all there?" Well, that's you! ”
"Wait a minute!" The human warrior said, "We're willing to take three gold coins, and besides, we're here first!" ”
I said, "No, I'm more relieved that they ......"
The human warrior said, "This is Santas, I didn't expect you to become a magician, and you won't be able to let go of racial prejudice......"
I smiled and shook my head: "It has nothing to do with the race, the main thing is that I am familiar with their strength." ”
Vincent understood: "You know them? ”
I said, "Yes, I met you in Animo." ”
Vincent was still a little unconvinced, and I said, "If I were biased against you, I wouldn't have chosen to team up with the human magician, and let him be my vice-captain." ”
Vincent smiled a little flattered.
The episode was over, and we finally walked out of Santas's gates and into the swamp.
Legend has it that the swamp is a place with an extremely rich water resource, and it is supposed to be a place of plants and paradise, but in reality, it is far from the meadows of the grasslands.
First of all, there are many, many plants here, but because the water source is not clean enough, many plants are half-dead, or even dead, therefore, the water here is even more unclean, secondly, these unclean water and dead plants have nourished a large number of unclean creatures, such as all kinds of poisonous insects, all kinds of rats, frogs, birds, snakes that like to prey on these insects, among the insects, the most deal with the poisonous spider, after awakening to become a Warcraft, it is even more dangerous, such as the high-level Warcraft Poison Water Spider King, again, All kinds of poisonous insects and beasts and the remains of dead creatures in it, and brew all kinds of dirty areas and unclean air in the unclean water, and then evolve poisonous fog and miasma, which increases the danger of the swamp area, and finally, the most basic point - sufficient water plus all kinds of dead and live plants and silt, constitute the simplest and most deadly trap, and if you accidentally fall into it, it is definitely not safer than encountering dangerous creatures......
In short, swamps are also dangerous places.
At the same time, crisis also represents wealth and adventure - in such a unique environment, rare species, rare plants, strange mutated monsters, as well as hidden ancient ruins and buried treasures, are all opportunities for adventurers to make a fortune.
It is not an exaggeration to say that a small part of the vitality of Santas City is supported by the swamp adventure enterprise, otherwise, the owner of the tower would not have chosen to build the tower here.
However, I learned from the book "Introduction to the Mage Tower" that the Mage Tower can actually be relocated as a whole, but it requires a lot of energy, and the cost of moving it once is enough for the mages to spend for decades.
Step out of the safety line and we're actually on the swamp.
Outside the security line, it's not the kind of gang robbery that happened at any time, after all, the flow of people here is not so frequent, as long as the days go by, most people also know who can and can't be messed with, and the humans, goblins and dwarves of the four-person team can be regarded as having suffered a loss and paid the tuition.
We walked on a strong, flat dirt road in the middle of the swamp and slowly entered it.
A road like this has been explored by adventurers for a long time, and there are many people who take it, which is considered the main road, and as we go deeper, this road has gradually branched out, and the road that has branched out is relatively much narrower.
Leo said slowly: "There was no road in the swamp, but when there were more people walking, there was also a road...... However, if someone falls into it and dies, it is not the way...... Ah, isn't it bad to tamper with celebrity quotes like this? ”
I said, "You don't have a clear goal for this complaint. ”
If there was a map, the roads would resemble a dead tree, with the main trunk being the main road, the city of Santas at its roots, and the branches embedded deep into the swamp.
Of course, there are also not exactly similarities, and that is the breaking point on the fork in the road.
Where the road is broken, some have built simple wooden bridges, and some are just a few simple wooden stakes or stones, and it is really difficult to be poor or bulky.
Encountering the first broken circuit, Vincent blessed himself with a simple levitation technique, and floated over, I also had light skills, but the water tank was not easy to get.
Fortunately, there are two law systems in the Five Rangers, plus me and Vincent, who barely carried it over with their mental power.
Leo said: "I can carry it alone, but I can't expose it, you can work hard!" ”
I said, "Isn't that just nothing?" ”
After the first break, the road behind us was narrower and rougher, and our speed slowed down.
Leo said happily: "It turns out that the biggest use of humanoid radar is not to predict the enemy's situation, but to practice collection skills!" You see, so many alchemy plants! ”
Not to mention him, Vincent also found a lot.
For the warrior profession, picking these plants is risky, and one wrong step can lead to a mud. For the legal profession, it is simple, and it does not take much effort to easily pluck the flowers with mental power.
Vincent was happy, the kobold ash wood staff Glass and the horned sheep hook moon bone flute Shawshank were not idle, and I naturally couldn't leave behind, picking a bunch of alchemy plants.
"It's just in season," said Kobold Glas, "and I can make a few more herbs!" ”
I thought of the origin of the names of the minotaur and the kobold, and I couldn't help but be a little funny, one thought he was noble, the other was bullied by the suzerain, but became two clans with similar names in the orc clan, and behind these two names, there is a hatred between the minotaur and the werewolf, behind the hatred, there is a dispute over the territorial boundary and a conflict of interest that was inexplicable before the grudge entanglement......
"That's it," said Shawshank, the sheepman, "it's not too late or early, it's like picking mushrooms." ”
