Chapter 30: Passing Shoulders

After a while, Ortus's emotions were almost exhausted, and he finally quieted down. He turned around, looked at Ye Ci who was standing on the side, and exhaled deeply: "Elf, are you interested in listening to a story that is not very good?" ”

"Of course, Mr. Ortus, if you are willing to tell, I am willing to be a most qualified listener." Ye Ci saluted again, she didn't choose to skip the conversation, because she knew that in such an epic task, the stories told by NPCs generally have very important clues, and these clues are not only hidden in the language, but sometimes also hidden in the tone and actions of the NPC, if you skip it, it is likely to skip some trivial clues, which will have a very big impact on the completion rate and completion of the task, and more importantly, it will also have a very big impact on the final reward.

Obviously, Ye Ci's answer made Ortus very satisfied, and he walked around in front of Ye Ci again, but this time his speed slowed down a lot, and his two hands that were too long were also behind his back, and he looked a little old-fashioned.

Ye Ci stood quietly aside, she was actually a very patient person, especially when encountering such an epic task, her patience was often more durable than ordinary people.

After a little more walking, Ortus jumped on a broken stake, and sat down, and looked into the distant sky, where the moon was shining brightly, but the bright light could not illuminate the black and oppressive earth, leaving only a very desolate silver hanging in the sky.

Ye Ci checked the map just now, and this is the fragrant wilderness of the western continent. The distribution of monsters here is mainly between 50 and 60, however, most of the monsters are non-active attack monsters, so there are still a lot of players who team up here to level up. And Ye Ci and they stopped here, it was actually a very dangerous thing, in case they were discovered by players in the Western Continent, the things they faced were not just as simple as slaughter and pursuit.

It's just that, even if it's dangerous here, Ortus chose to release a mission here, which Ye Ci can't change. Ortus is a goblin, and he is a race no matter which continent he is in, so he will not be attacked by the player, and the only thing left is himself.

However, for Ye Ci, it is not difficult for players to hide and avoid other hostile forces to search for this matter, so even if Ye Ci is now standing quietly in front of Ortus, she is still watching and listening to all directions, as long as there is a little wind and grass, she will immediately take corresponding measures, and she will definitely not let herself be lost here when she has just set foot on the land of the Western Continent.

Ortus looked at Ye Ci, who was standing quietly on the side, she was respectful and quiet, which made Ortus very satisfied. Goblins are highly intelligent and proud creatures, before the continent was divided, they dealt with various races, however, goblins did not like these races, in the eyes of goblins, the most noble race in the world deserved to be the goblins themselves, and the other races were either too stupid or too stupid to be able to compare with them.

As for Ortus, he is more of a faithful pedigree, and he looks down on the average race more than the average goblin, any race, but he rarely shows it. The elf in front of him now actually didn't like it very much, but compared to ordinary people, this elf seemed to be very polite, not much ambition and ambition, and did not try to get anything out of him, which made Ortus more satisfied, so he even spoke to her gently.

"It was a long, long time ago, actually, I don't know how long ago. You know, our goblins generally have a very long lifespan, so it doesn't matter if we remember time or not. At that time, the goblins did not live underground, nor did they live in hidden places, they lived in a place called Vosoko. It was filled with all the energy that the goblins needed, ores, power gems, all kinds of precious black oil, it was too much. You must think that if you have these things, it must be a smoky place, but you are wrong, it is full of green trees, wild flowers and grasses, there are many, many small animals in the meadows, and there are many, many fish in the river, which is so beautiful. And I was born there. ”

Ortus had entered into his own memories, his voice was low and gentle, his eyes shimmered with a misty light, and it was not difficult to see from the intoxicated expression on his face that that the memory of Ortus was the most beautiful part of it.

"I don't know who my parents were, because it was my teacher De Philae who rescued me from the grass. The teacher said that when he got up that day, he heard the sound of a baby crying outside the house, and when he went out, he saw me as a swaddling baby. I was crying a lot, but when the teacher picked me up, I laughed at him. In the world of goblins, orphans who are not adopted by no one are slaves, and the teacher could not bear to see me face the tragic future, so he adopted me and named me Ortus. By the way, in goblin language, Ortus means beloved companion. Therefore, I am not only a teacher, a child, a student, but also his most beloved companion. ”

When Ortus talked about De Philae, the expression on his face became more gentle, and just looking at it, Ortus's not very good-looking face was not so hateful.

"I have been with my teacher for a long, long time, from baby to adulthood. The teacher is the smartest and wisest of the goblin clan, although everyone says that goblin engineering is the basic talent of goblins, but you outsiders don't know that the real goblin engineering is not accessible to ordinary goblins, and the so-called engineering of the general goblins is just some deceptive tricks in our eyes, and only you stupid foreigners will be so superstitious and give a lot of money to those bastards who have nothing to do. Ortus snorted, he had the pedantic smell of an old pedant, and always looked down on goblins in general, but he did have this capital.

According to the book, because of the goblins' desire to make money, there are fewer and fewer people willing to specialize in the essence of goblin engineering, and the only real inheritors are De Philae and his student Ortus. Not to mention anything else, just from the mechanical carving just now, it can be seen that if it is an ordinary goblin made of this thing, it will definitely not fly so smoothly, nor will it fly so fast, and most importantly, if it flies so far, I am afraid that it will fall apart long ago.

"My teacher is the last great master of goblin engineering, and I have only reached the stage of grandmaster, so I have not ascended." The gentle light on Ortus's face suddenly dimmed, and he looked very sad.

"Why?" Ye Ci asked questions at the right time to guide the next tasks.

"Because, I left Vossoko." Ortus's voice was deep.

"Isn't Wasokok a great place to study goblin engineering? Why did you leave there since you were the grandmaster of goblin engineering, did you find a better place? ”

"Vosoko is my hometown, and what better place in the world than my hometown?" Ortus had a very sad and mournful expression on his face: "I left Vosoko to avoid being pursued. ”

"Pursuit?" This is unusual, it has never been recorded in the book, and Ye Ci is the first time I have heard of it.

"Yes, I have been studying with my teacher, and the long life of the goblins has given us endless time to support our research, and I even thought that my whole life would be spent like this." Ortus's gaze shone with a gentle light again, but there was some sadness in this gentle light. "However, I didn't expect that one day, the continent would be divided, and the claws of the demon king Naga would reach out to this continent and to Vosoko. Goblins are a race of engineers proficient, and no matter how crude the things made by ordinary goblins are, in the eyes of you foreigners, they are the most sophisticated technology. Of course, in the eyes of the demon king Naga, it is also like this. The Demon King Naga waged war against the God-King Cordley, who called on all the races on the continent to resist his invasion, and in that war, the heroes of all races paid a terrible price. When Ortus said this, he turned his head to look at Ye Ci and said, "It's like the elven king of your race, Dor, was also slaughtered, and even his soul was imprisoned by Naga. ”

When Ye Ci heard this, his heart jumped suddenly, Elf King Dol This is a race side quest she received, because Dol's map fragments have not been found completely, so she has not handed in this task. And about the history of these continental battles, there are no books recorded in the National Library, and even if they do, there are only a few strokes, Ye Ci thought, this may have something to do with the main dark line mission of the game, so the game does not give direct hints and guidance, and players need to explore slowly by themselves in the adventure.

"Where is Dole's soul imprisoned?" The excitement of his heart made Ye Ci couldn't help but ask Ortus.

Ortus didn't seem quite satisfied that his narration was interrupted, and he frowned: "Didn't you listen to the story?" Q: What does this do? ”

Ye Ci looked at Ortus's expression, knowing that he was a little dissatisfied with this goblin by doing this, so he hurriedly said tactfully: "Dear Mr. Ortus, after that war, our elf clan no longer has a king, and the entire elf has been divided, so ......"

Ye Ci's low, sad tone made Ortus empathize, after all, he was an NPC who had gone through that war, and he sighed: "Yes, you elves are also quite pitiful, and they have been divided like this. I only knew that Dole's soul was imprisoned, but I don't know where. This is the secret of the Naga, how can we possibly know the secret of the Naga? ”

Ye Ci nodded, thinking about it, since it is the main body of the game, the dark line task is an important background to support the continuous advancement of the game, how can the answer surface so quickly? Now that she knew that Dor's soul was imprisoned by the Naga, other things were slowly waiting for her chance. "I'm sorry, Mr. Ortus, for interrupting your story, so go on."

Ortus nodded: "In that battle, the advanced technology of our goblins caused Naga to suffer a great loss, so, after that battle, he commanded his minions bloodthirsty undead and evil orcs to take control of the whole of Wasok. Speaking of this, Ortus became angry: "No, it's not that they control Vosoko, it's they who control Chel, that bastard Chel, he is not worthy of being the king of goblins at all, in order to save his life, he actually sold the entire race, Naga in order to obtain the secrets of the most sophisticated goblin engineering, and Chel captured my teacher, Mr. De Philai, and left me a message before being captured, so that I was not also imprisoned." I escaped from Vosoko, but the teacher was imprisoned in the deepest part of the Chel palace."

Ortus's emotions became more and more excited: "The teacher is my father, my benefactor, and my closest partner and relative in this world, but I left him to wander in this wild continent for so long, I couldn't find a way to save him Finally, I had to make an agreement with Moore, he helped me find a person to rescue the teacher, and I ......" Ortus paused when he said this, obviously, he didn't want to tell Ye Ci what kind of agreement he had reached with Moore, the city lord of Black Mud City.

His eyes narrowed, and he continued, "After a long wait, I've finally waited for you, Elf. ”

"I'm willing to serve you, Mr. Ortus." After such a long task, Ye Ci finally received the task. "Where, though, is Monsieur de Philae? How do I find him? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, he should still be in the Goblin Palace in Vosoko." As he spoke, he took out a compass and handed it to Ye Ci: "This is my goblin compass developed exclusively, as long as you hold it, after stepping into Vosoko's realm, it will always take you to my teacher." ”

Ye Ci took the goblin compass and looked at it carefully, sure enough, it was something produced by a grandmaster-level goblin engineering, which was many times more sophisticated than the kind of goblin compass sold on the market.

"Go, Elf, if you can bring out my teacher, I will not treat you badly." Ortus stood up from the stake, then stretched out a hand and pointed at Ye Ci and said, "As long as you blow that spoon, I will appear soon." Good luck, Elf. ”

After saying that, Ortus's not-so-tall figure gradually disappeared into the night, and even the mechanical sculpture disappeared. Only Ye Ci was left standing alone in the fragrant wilderness.

On the four continents now, there is actually no map of Vosoko, and Ye Zi can conclude that after the Great War, the map of Vosoko has fallen, but where is Vosoko now? She flipped through the prompts for the task and studied page by page. Finally, in the corner of the mission, I found this sentence: Wassoko was once a beautiful place, but now it is gone, and those who want to pursue it may wish to go to the Blood Fields to find clues.

Bloody wilderness.

It is a huge map located near the main city of the Western Continent, Holy Light City, where the terrain is complex, there are many monsters and high levels, and it is not a good place for players to level up, not only that, but because there is no supply point there, therefore, players generally do not choose to level up in that place.

However, just because players don't choose to level up there doesn't mean there aren't players. Ye Ci believes that there are as many as one billion players in the game of Destiny now, even if there are 250 million players in each continent, it is impossible for these 250 million players not to choose the Blood Wilderness leveling. After all, there are a lot of monsters there, and the refresh is fast, as long as you can find the right way, it is a good place to level up. It's just that there are relatively few people there, which is a good help for Ye Ci to sneak into the Blood Wilderness.

On the western continent, Ye Ci can't open a teleportation point, and there is no way to blatantly ride the fourth child wildly, and the only way to get from one map to another is to walk over.

Fortunately, the Youxiang Wilderness is also on the edge of the Holy Light City, as long as Ye Ci carefully touches the edge of the map, it won't take him a few hours to enter the map of the Holy Light City-Ke Duolin.

The stealth of the hunter is not as high as the stealth of the thief, especially in the western continent, where there are players from the western continent everywhere, and she will never start any conflict with these players in the western continent unless it is absolutely necessary. What's more, the more entanglement with players in the Western Continent means the more time spent on the Western Continent, and Ye Ci has not forgotten that the exploration time of her Mithril vein is only ten days, and there are still thirty days before the new expansion is released, and it is also imminent before the Shengshi Guild enters the fate, and she has no time to waste.

For this reason, Ye Ci didn't dare to take the big road, although he wouldn't encounter strange things when he walked from the big road between the maps, but it was too dangerous. She stalked, leaning against the edge of the map towards Kodolin. If she doesn't meet a player on the road, she can still kill two monsters, but if she meets a player, whether it's a lone or a group, she will go around.

After sneaking for several hours, Ye Ci finally touched the intersection of Kodolin and Yuxiang Wilderness. There is a very strong stone bridge here, and the gentle river flows under the stone bridge, and there are many wild flowers and aquatic plants growing on the shore and in the river, which is peaceful and quiet. After all, this is near the main city of the Western Continent, and there are high-level guards everywhere, so it couldn't be safer.

However, such a peaceful and tranquil appearance is extremely fierce for Ye Ci, on the huge stone bridge that is enough to accommodate four carriages passing through in parallel, three steps and one post, two steps and one sentry are full of fifteen elite guards with a blood volume of more than one million, and all of them are triggered by linkage, as long as Ye Ci accidentally leads one, then hundreds of guards on this bridge will rush over. At that time, Ye Ci thought that even if he had wings, he might not be able to fly.

Not only that, but their level is five levels higher than Ye Ci, such a level, ordinary concealment and stealth will definitely not be able to deceive them. What's more, these guards all have the ability to investigate, even if Ye Ci can sneak under their noses, I'm afraid they won't be able to avoid that reconnaissance ability.

In this way, it is simply impossible to pass over the bridge.

The only way to go is under the bridge.

But there is river water under the bridge, and if she jumps into the river, Ye Ci can't sneak, she has to swim over. It's just that there are also a lot of patrolling soldiers and monster fighting players by the river, although they didn't expect that there was a hunter from the Eastern Continent lurking by their side now, but after jumping into the water, the dazzling red light emitted from their bodies, if they want to go unnoticed, it is simply a fool's dream.

Ye Ci just squatted on a bush of low plants by the bridge, thinking carefully about how he was going to get through this level. After thinking about it for a while, there was still no way, and in the end, in desperation, Ye Ci could only use a fraud brooch. The Fraud Brooch can disguise the player as a player from a hostile continent, but it has a restriction that it can only be used once a day for half an hour at a time, and not only that, but it cannot enter the main city, as the guards of the main city cannot be deceived.

Ye Ci originally wanted to keep the half-hour effect of this fraud brooch and find a small town to make supplies today when there were no medicines and consumables, but now it seems that it is impossible. If she hadn't used the Fraud Brooch now, she would have been here today.

After weighing it here, Ye Ci no longer had any hesitation, and directly turned the fraud brooch, disguised himself as a human thief from the Western Continent, and calmly stood up from the low plant. Thieves are a shady profession, so there are too many things to hide, and her appearance does not attract the attention of other players and guards. In order to speed up the hurry, Ye Ci summoned the little red horse. Although the speed of the little red horse is really slow enough, it is faster than two legs, and she doesn't have the courage to recruit the fourth child in this place, so let's slow down.

Neatly climbed onto the horse's back, Ye Ci tried to restrain the tension in his heart and walked towards the bridge.

The Fraud Brooch can fool NPCs This is an experiment, but it is unknown whether the Fraud Brooch can fool NPCs in the opposing faction. Ye Ci carried a heart, tried his best to be extremely calm, like an ordinary player, and galloped across the middle of the bridge.

In fact, the fraud brooch is still very effective, when Ye Ci ran past the eyes of the hundreds of guards between the bridges, none of the guards found out that Ye Ci was an impostor, they were still standing there, majestic, and no one noticed that a player from the Eastern Continent had entered the map of the main city of Holy Light City.

"You've discovered the Ark Bridge."

"You've found Kodolin."

As Ye Ci galloped on horseback, the system continued to mention Ye Ci's exploration of the western continent more and more. There are high rewards for exploring the map on a hostile continent, especially if you can get close to the map of the main city, and exploring the map here often gives you a lot of money and honor in addition to considerable experience. So, as long as you have the guts and confidence that you won't die, you can explore the map of the hostile continent, and with that experience and honor alone, it is not difficult to level up.

Since the Fraud Brooch could not enter the Holy Light City, then Ye Ci would not have to approach the Holy Light City in any such move, she opened the map and ran towards the nearest place in the Blood Wilderness. She only had half an hour to waste, and it was best to reach the Blood Fields before the deceptive effect of the Fraud Brooch wore off.

There are significantly more and more dense players in Kodolin than in the Fragrant Wilderness. Ye Ci can meet one or several players almost two steps away, and the red in front of him is really a bit thrilling.

Arriving in the Blood Wilderness from Kodorin is to follow a circuitous path in the western part of Kodorin, which is close to the Blood Wilderness, so there are also many high-level monsters, but the players here are obviously in teams, holding on to the spawn points and quietly staring at the arrival of ghouls. In the previous life, Ye Ci had been to the Holy Light City a few times, and had also been to the Blood Wilderness a few times, so she still had some memories of the terrain here, and this memory made her not take any detours, and soon arrived at this path.

Unlike the sunny weather in the Holy Light City, as soon as you stepped on this path, the light immediately dimmed, as if you had entered a dark underworld with no daylight.

"You've found a rancid path." The system conscientiously prompted Ye Ci to explore another map.

Ye Ci looked up, only to see dead trees on both sides of the rancid path, and on top of the trees hung many corpses that had long since died, and underneath these trees, ghouls often crawled out of the ground and climbed onto the trees to eat those corpses. The whole atmosphere was disgusting and terrifying, and I couldn't imagine that such a map was actually on the edge of the Holy Light City, which made people have to sigh that this was really a kind of irony.

Most players who have just entered the game of destiny will be frightened by the eerie horror of some of his maps, with many male players and even more female players. However, as the game progressed, the players' courage seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and Ye Ci even saw many female players who seemed to be weak with expressionless faces releasing their skills towards those terrifying and abominable ghouls, and then calmly stepped forward to loot from their corpses.

If you just started the game, this situation must be very scary, but after a year of cultivation in the game, it seems that all players have become numb.

The monsters here are refreshed very quickly, and the experience is very objective, even if the team of players kills together, everyone's experience is very thin, but, the fast refresh makes up for everyone's shortcomings. It is for this reason that on the rancid path, a team of five people gathers at each spawn point to guard this spawn point.

When they find another player coming to the rancid path, the squads will tell each other that there is already someone here.

When Ye Ci rode past the rancid path on horseback, she immediately heard such a prompt, and the players in the western continent spoke: "Please let go, there are already people here, if you want to kill monsters, please find other refresh points." ”

"Let Rang, let Rang, the sword is ruthless, and the wrong injury is irresponsible."

"There are people at this refresh point, and you need to go somewhere else to level up"

……

Along the way, shouting about their sovereignty came and went, and it seems that in order to be able to upgrade faster, the so-called friendship of mainland players is actually a fart. Ye Ci whipped the little red horse's ass vigorously with a horsewhip, hoping that this guy would run faster, because there were less than three minutes left for her fraud.

With so many players on the rancid trail and the terrain on both sides not suitable for play, it wouldn't be a good outcome for her if the Fraud Brooch didn't work here.

"Hey, is that thief going to the Bloody Wilderness?"

"No, you dare to go to the Blood Wilderness alone, and you don't bring a nurse, looking for death."

"Maybe someone has money and carries a backpack of blood bottles."

"Che, you think it's a place that everyone can go to? When you're a player against the sky. ”

……

Looking at Ye Ci's back, he didn't pause, but instead rushed all the way towards the Blood Wilderness, and many leveling players began to whisper. After all, the degree of danger in the Blood Wilderness is not comparable to that of the rancid road, and there are too few lone players like Ye Ci.

Ye Ci didn't care what these players said, he just took a breath and rushed towards the Blood Wilderness.

There were still fifty seconds left, and the Blood Wilderness was already close in front of him, and Ye Ci had even seen the blood-red sky of the Blood Wilderness.

The time is closer, closer, and the little red horse's footsteps are really not strong, Ye Ci can't help but regret a little, it would be nice if she spent some more money to buy a better horse at that time, but she didn't expect that she would not be able to ride the fourth child one day......

There were still dozens of yards to go from the Blood Wilderness, and Ye Ci's time was still thirty-seven seconds.

It should be enough, there are no players on this rancid path, and even if there is not enough time, no player will find out.

Twelve seconds remained, and a few yards from the Blood Wilderness. Ye Ci's heart almost mentioned his throat, don't meet a player passing by, don't meet a player passing by Here, if you meet a player passing by, it is easy to alarm other players on the rancid path, then you will find unnecessary trouble.

Just thinking like this, Ye Ci suddenly saw a player riding a unicorn speeding across from him. This person's speed was extremely fast, but this person's face seemed to be carved into Ye Ci's eyes with a carving knife, making her breathing suddenly stop

She wouldn't be so unlucky, would she actually meet the last person she wanted to meet in this place

Although Ye Ci had long known that as long as she set foot on the land of the Western Continent, she would have a great chance of meeting this person, but after all, she still had a bit of luck in her heart. This western continent is so big, and she is just doing a mission, how could she be so unlucky to meet him?

However, it turned out that she was really unlucky, and when she was unlucky, all the bad things came together. If it wasn't this person she met now, maybe she would be able to maneuver around, but if it was this person, Ye Ci only felt that her sky was dark......

NND, what shit luck is this

That's right, this person is Liunian.

Although the Flowing Year is already level 10, but the gems with critical hits will be dropped on the Blood Plains, and the Flowing Year is still very keen to farm gems when there is nothing to do. Now that his package is full, the durability of the equipment has almost dropped, and the most important thing is that there are not many arrows left on his body, and Xiao Wu has no food, and if he continues to fight, it is estimated that not only will he run out of ammunition and food, but Xiao Wu will also strike in protest. So Liu Nian packed up his things and prepared to go back to the Holy Light City to replenish it.

The Blood Plains is a place that Liu Nian often comes to, and it is safer to walk where and how, and it will not attract too many monsters, he has long been familiar with it. He summoned his white unicorn, flipped on his horse neatly, and galloped towards the Holy Light City.

Today, the harvest of the passing year is very good, not only picked up four flawless crit gems, but also picked up a flawless power gem, take it back to the Holy Light City to find a synthesis NPC to synthesize, maybe you can get a higher quality gem. The thought that his bow would soon be inlaid with a perfect crit gem, Liu Nian's heart was filled with joy. As soon as he was happy, the steps of this running became lighter.

Soon, he saw the rancid path from the Blood Field. There was a pass, and when I looked at it from the bloody wilderness, I only felt that it was dark and oppressive. The rancid path is probably the least favorite place in the year, the environment there is dark and smelly, it's really annoying, but he also admires the players there, they can farm monsters and level up in such a place full of rotten smells, and they have been brushing for many days, it's really ...... It's great.

Just as he was about to rush into the rancid path, Liunian suddenly saw a player running from the opposite side. This is a male thief, and the equipment on his body is dark, and there is no good or bad at a glance, but the horse under his crotch is not a good thing, and at first glance it is a rotten street.

He had no companions.

Into the wilderness of blood alone?

Thieves should be able to do it. But it has to be very good. Although there are not many players who brush monsters alone in the blood wilderness, there are still fifty of them, and they each guard a place, and they still recognize it more or less over the years, but this person's face is very raw, as if they have never seen it.

However, Liu Nian did not doubt it, after all, there are so many players in the Western Continent, and everyone has a different way of playing the game. Even if this thief wants to chase the excitement and send him to death by the way, there is no way to stop the passing years.

After all, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and besides, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the passing years.

Liunian has never been a nosy person, but he saw this thief from a distance, analyzed it according to common sense, and didn't think about it anymore. His unicorn was extremely fast, and he quickly brushed shoulders with the thief.

Suddenly, in a flash, he seemed to see something......

Yes By].
