Chapter 57: The Dora Tribe

Chapter 57: The Dora Tribe

In order to avoid provoking unnecessary hatred, Ye Ci put away the fourth child, and then entered a state of stealth, carefully bypassing these traps all the way to the deeper part of the forest.

Sure enough, as Ye Ci expected, after walking about four or five hundred yards, she began to find traces of humanoid NPCs. However, several humans with bows and arrows on their backs and animal skins were crouching on the ground digging traps. He was a burly man, taller than the average human, with knotted muscles, a red complexion, and particularly large soles of his feet, and strong and powerful limbs, which at first glance looked like he often ran in the mountains.

Ye Ci squatted in the bushes from afar, observing them. Although their traps are all very rudimentary physical traps, they are very well dug, if it weren't for Ye Ci, a profession that is good at digging traps, maybe the general profession would suffer.

These people are digging while speaking a language that Ye Ci doesn't understand, which doesn't make Ye Ci strange, in fate, there are about fifty or so recorded races in total, each race has its own unique language, and there are countless tribes under these fifty races, and it is likely that the language between each tribe and tribe is different. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ye Ci, who can only speak seven languages, cannot understand their tribal language, but generally all races will have a lingua franca, which is mainly used to communicate with players, so as to avoid the tragic thing that many players miss the mission because they do not know the language of NPCs.

In a few moments they dug the trap, then stood up and walked deeper into the forest. Ye Ci followed them from a distance to see where they were going. But she didn't dare to get too close, she just threw a reconnaissance technique to these NPCs, they are all NPCs around level 70 Although they are not NPCs that actively attack, but the standing NPCs will not have any special bad feelings for the player, of course, there will be no special good feelings. So, Ye Ci didn't really want them to discover their existence.

Along the way, several people did not continue to dig traps, but talked and laughed along the way, looking very happy. The forest leaf word here has never been here, so the leaf word uses a dagger to leave a mark on the edge of the trees he passes by as he advances, so that he will not get lost in this forest when he returns.

After not walking for much time, Ye Ci saw them walk into a village from a distance. The village is also very primitive, full of houses made of animal skins and wood. Ye Ci waited for a while, waiting for these people to walk into the depths of the village, and then slowly sneaked to the edge of the village, intending to look inside the village, what kind of place this is, and by the way, find out if there is an NPC named Darufar.

However, what didn't make Ye Ci think was that as soon as she approached the village, she found a bead like an eyeball on a pillar in the village, looking towards her. And at this moment, Ye Ci, who was originally well hidden, suddenly appeared in her body, and the system also reminded her: Failed to hide.

Ye Ci's heart sank, it was over, and he was discovered. And the second consciousness, she just turned around and was about to leave.

However, before she could quickly retreat, she heard a loud roar from inside the village: "dftrptgm...... edgapm!!”

In the next place, Ye Ci was surrounded by countless long and short weapons. Looking at the swords, guns and halberds towards herself, although they are not sharp, but if so many of them are slammed towards her together, Rao is Ye Ci is agility is high enough, and she can't escape, and she will be inserted into a hedgehog alive.

Ye Ci couldn't move at all, raised his head and looked at the people in front of him, they were all dressed similarly, looking at themselves expressionlessly, there were dozens of people, all pointing at Ye Ci with different weapons, surrounding her. Ye Ci has some black lines, what kind of race are these NPCs, they look very much like people, but the speed is too fast, it's just a moment of time, what the hell are they coming out of!

Ye Ci wanted to try to talk to them, but all of these people ignored them, or looked at Ye Ci with a blank expression, which showed that these people couldn't understand Ye Ci's words. This can make Ye Ci entangled, and now in this situation, Ye Ci will not be caught alive by them, and then sent to eat......

Just when Ye Ci was so entangled, she saw that the crowd in front of her separated a road, and then a tall and burly old man walked from between this road, I couldn't tell how old he was, his hair and beard were white, his face was full of vicissitudes, he was wearing a very luxurious crown on his head, and he was also wearing a blue robe, which had a lot of chains made of animal bones and teeth as embellishments, and he held a staff-like staff in his hand, and there was a fist-sized dark red gem on the head of the staff, faintly exuding mysterious power.

He slowly walked towards Ye Ci, his gaze was sharp and unavoidable. His pace was not fast, but every step carried with it a terrifying pressure, as if it was about to overwhelm the person. Ye Ci quietly threw a reconnaissance technique at this person, and like that mermaid, all the data of this NPC is a question mark, at least ten levels higher than Ye Ci. He stood quietly in front of Ye Ci, not angry but mighty, and from his body seemed to exude a kind of strength that people couldn't resist.

Ye Ci looked at him like this, and took a deep breath, although she had a very heavy feeling under the gaze of this old man, she still kept her calm and looked at this person.

After a while, the old man said to Ye Ci in a very old lingua franca: "I haven't seen elves for a long, long time, the most common race in the place where we live is mermaids, white elves, what are you from here?" ”

Listening to the old man's words, Ye Ci exhaled, fortunately, there is also a lingua franca in this group of NPCs, otherwise, she would really be a chicken and a duck. In order to answer this old man's words, and in order to show his respect, Ye Ci planned to stand up, although this old man's level seemed to be about the same as that mermaid, but from the person's momentum, expression and age, Ye Ci felt that he must be much more reliable than that mermaid. So I plan to make a bow and show my respect.

However, she didn't expect that she had just moved, and all the weapons pointing at her were getting closer, and now they were almost inserted into his skin, Ye Ci could only remain as they were, looking at the old man quietly.

The old man was also very good, he raised his hand and shook it slightly, asking everyone to step back, which was considered to give Ye Ci a chance to stand up. However, these people didn't retreat far, anyway, it was the kind of distance that could kill her with just one step.

Ye Ci stood up, raised his hands to show that he had no weapons and no threat to them, and then he saluted the old man, and said calmly and solemnly according to the most standard and accurate answer in the game: "Respect the elder, please forgive me for recklessly intruding into your territory, I am a white elf from the Maga Continent, I encountered a big storm on the way to the boat, fell into the sea, I came here by luck, I lost my direction, and I couldn't find my way back, in the vast forest, I met your people, That's when I got here. I am here to express my sincerest apologies to you if any of my actions have upset you, and please forgive me again for my recklessness. ”

Dealing with NPCs, Ye Ci is still very handy, and her words obviously soothed the old man's vigilant expression a little. However, he didn't believe Ye Ci immediately, just looked her up and down again, and then said, "White Elf, I smelled the smell of mermaids on your body, what's going on?" ”

"Dear Elder, before I met you, I did meet a mermaid with a blue fishtail on the seashore, and I almost became her food, but then, for some reason, she spared me and asked me to find a man named Darufar for her, because he had the harp she needed. But when I reached the crater of Breda I did not find this man named Darufar, but I met your people, so I took the liberty of following them here. "This NPC seems to have a very high level of intelligence, and his identity is also very high, so Ye Ci didn't lie when he talked to him. NPCs with high IQ and status can determine whether a player's words are true or a lie in a special way, and if they do, they will be punished.

At best, trust will be lost forever, or at worst, you will die in a foreign country.

So when Ye Ci faced this old man, she chose to tell the truth.

I saw the old man looking at Ye Ci quietly, and nodded after a long time: "That's right, mermaids don't like to eat women." For them, women's meat is not delicious and can even be somewhat poisonous, so men are more suitable for their appetite. ”

I see, Ye Ci nodded secretly in his heart, no wonder the mermaid would let him go in the end, and thought that the mermaid was inexplicable, it turned out that this was the real reason. Because of their mothers, they will eat males...... This answer is really uncomfortable.

"I communicated with God, and God told me that what you said was the truth, white elf, so I also believe your words." The old man gently tapped the ground three times with the staff in his hand, and then all the people who surrounded Ye Ci dispersed. Then he said, "I am Darufar, the White Elf. ”

It turned out that this old man was Darufar, Ye Ci exhaled, this is really a nowhere to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

"Hello, Dear Mr. Darufar, I'm Gongzi > You." Ye Ci hurriedly and respectfully reported his name to show his humility.

Arufar bowed slightly, indicating that he accepted Ye Ci's respect, and then his expression relaxed a lot: "You say, there is a mermaid who asked you to come to me and ask me for a piano, right?" ”。

"Yes, that's exactly what she said." Ye Ci is not in a hurry, these are two NPCs over level one hundred and twenty, Ye Ci doesn't think that they will hand over the task items to themselves so easily, otherwise, this task is too cheap.

"Well, come over and see what kind of piano she needs." Darufar nodded, turned around and entered the village with Ye Ci.

Ay? This can also be done? Ye Ci was slightly stunned, was she thinking too complicated, maybe this task was really simple, she just needed to come over and run an errand? Although the common sense of the game told Ye Ci that this was absolutely impossible, but judging from the current situation, it seems that this is really the case.

Ye Ci followed Darufar and walked around the village, observing the buildings and all the NPCs in the village. I saw that this village is very large, and there are probably thousands or more NPCs here. All of them have burly and tall figures, the men are muscular, and the women are not far behind, and they are very strong from top to bottom, although they are very small compared to men, but they are more muscular than ordinary humans. They saw that all of Darufar stood up along the way, and greeted Darufar in words that Ye Ci did not understand, Ye Ci thought that he might be saying hello or showing respect.

The architecture of this village is very rough, although most of the houses are made of wood as supports, animal skins as walls and roofs, but there are still different styles of houses. For example, on the high mountain behind the village, Ye Ci actually saw three or four arrow towers, although the top of the arrow tower was hung with the unique animal bones of this village as decoration, but it was still seen that the arrow tower was very cleverly made, although Ye Ci did not know how the effect was, but just from the outside, this arrow tower was similar to the arrow tower at the four corners of the Champion City.

It's amazing that in a village full of primitive styles, this kind of modern Ming has to be breathtaking.

Ye Ci looked at the arrow tower while walking slowly behind Darufar, and suddenly she felt that someone was watching her, and quickly turned her head to look, but only saw a few totems inserted in the ground, with eyes on them, looking at her intently. And among these totems, it was the big eye that found Ye Ci at the beginning, and it was also looking at itself.

"It's a guest, go ahead." Darufar stood in front of these totems and gently nodded the ground with his cane, and those eyes immediately turned away, no longer looking at Ye Ci.

Illustration totems are supposed to be shaman-specific skills. Ye Ci looked at Darufar's side face, could it be that this guy is a shaman? Just as Ye Ci was muttering in his heart, Darufar turned his head to look at Ye Ci and said, "Are you guessing my identity?" ”。

"Forgive my presumptuousness, Mr. Darufar, I was just amazed at your ability to control the totems, and you reminded me of the statues of the heroes of the City of Champions with a great shaman." Ye Ci didn't say yes or no, and looked at Darufar with a smile: "Champion City is introducing him to say that he uses his god-like control ability over totems, which makes me very fascinated, but it's a pity that he was born so many years later, and there is no way to see his demeanor back then." ”

Darufar looked at Ye Ci with no expression on his face, but he couldn't guess what he was thinking. After a while, he said slowly, "You're talking about Kuta." ”

"Yes." Ye Ci nodded, looking a little surprised: "What?" Does Mr. Darufar know about him too? ”。

"He's my brother." Darufar spoke quietly, as if very calm.

However, this answer almost scared Ye Ci to death. She clutched her chest with her left hand, trying not to beat too fast with her heart inside. Wouldn't it, this guy is more than a thousand years old? You must know that in the history of the Maga Continent, when these heroes fought with the Naga Demon King, it was more than a thousand years ago, and in the most tragic battle, the greatest human shaman Kuta died, if the Darufar in front of him is really Kuta's younger brother, then he is really a veritable thousand-year-old monster.

Ye Ci hesitated for a while and didn't know how to answer Darufar, so he only said, "I didn't expect to meet you here, respected Mr. Darufar." Then she thought of something: "Mr. Kuta seems to be human, and you ......"

She didn't finish, she thought, Darufar understood what she meant.

Darufar only glanced deeply at Ye Ci before he said, "We are the Dora race, a race born from the union of humans and barbarians. ”

Ye Ci nodded, no wonder this race not only seems to have the strength of barbarians, but also seems to have the agility and wisdom of humans, it turns out to be a combination of the two races.

"You must think that our race is a very good race, with the strength of barbarians and the wisdom of men, don't you?" Darufar seemed to be able to spy on people's hearts, and he actually opened his mouth to say what Ye Ci was thinking. This made Ye Ci a little surprised, could it be that this guy pretended to be something in his heart? actually became like a roundworm in his stomach, and he could know everything he thought clearly. But despite this, Ye Ci replied to Darufar: "Yes. This looks very good. ”

But Darufar let out a long sigh, and continued to walk towards the village with Ye Ci, and as he walked, he looked at Ye Ci: "However, in fact, this is not the case. ”

Ye Ci walked behind Darufar, listened carefully to his story, and then took a sentence from time to time to show that he was listening carefully. This is the best way to talk to NPCs, generally NPCs are doing this kind of long and long narratives, and they don't like players to interrupt, but if the paragraphs are too long, it is inevitable that players will lose interest again, so if the player doesn't open up for a long time, the NPC will think that the player is not listening, which will make him a little unhappy, but if the player responds to these NPCs too positively, they will feel that the player is too annoying, why always interrupt their words, and they will be unhappy. In short, no matter how unpleasant it is, it will affect the subsequent interaction between NPCs and players.

In particular, after this long narrative, it is usually followed by quests, and if the player upsets NPCs, then the quests received will be less than ideal in terms of difficulty and reward. Therefore, talking to NPCs is also a technical job.

Ye Ci has already mastered such a technique very well, not to mention that she still has attributes such as treachery, and she has a certain degree of deception to NPCs, so that she has never suffered any losses in conversations with these NPCs.

Darufar spoke slowly, and Ye Ci was also listening carefully, these words seemed to be nonsense, but Ye Ci knew that if he didn't record these words carefully, he might suffer in the process of doing tasks in the future.

The Dora tribe did not have this nation. Moreover, there is no record of this race in the long history of the Maga Continent, or rather, it is because their race is too weak and has not been recorded as in history at all. Dora means "abandonment" in the language of the barbarians, that is, the Dora are an abandoned race.

Although this race is a race born from the combination of barbarians and humans, they are not strong compared to barbarians, and they are not dexterous and intelligent compared to humans, but they only combine the advantages and disadvantages of the two races equally, and such an overly mediocre race is of course despised by barbarians and humans. Even before the Naga Demon King invaded the continent of Marga, this weak tribe was abandoned, and the humans did not recognize them as belonging to the tribe of the human race, and the barbarians did not recognize them either.

At that time, the fate of the tribe that was not recognized by the race was very miserable, not only when they were attacked by the demons, no one reached out to help, even when they were bullied by other races, they could only bear it silently, and what was even more terrifying was that because they had both the strength of the barbarians and the command of humans, many nobles began to capture the Dora tribe on a large scale, treating them as a private property and becoming their own eternal slaves.

The tribesmen of the Dora tribe continued to escape and hide in such a harsh environment, and finally they were all caught, and they were put into the ship, and when they were to be taken to the city of glory, the largest royal city in the original Marfa continent, for auction, but they encountered a storm at sea, and the entire ship was destroyed, and the various slave owners who were responsible for escorting them also fell into the sea and drowned. And they were kept in wooden cages and floated on the sea.

Their strength attracted the merfolk, who wanted to use them as a delicacy, but the patriarch of the Dora tribe at that time made a deal with the mermaid king, as long as the mermaid king could spare them and take them to a safe and undisturbed island, then they would make musical instruments for the merfolk for free. At that time, most of the merfolk relied on their ferocity and strength to hunt for food, and they had no skills, but the patriarch of the Dora tribe noticed that the merfolk had a beautiful voice, so he made this proposal.

After trying to use musical instruments to sing to confuse food, the mermaid king felt that this method was much better than the method of pulling alive with force, so he accepted the proposal of the Dora patriarch and brought them to settle on this small island, and this island is the place where the mermaid's activity range is most dense, and the other races never dare to approach because they are afraid of the mermaid's fierceness and fierceness. In order to thank the merfolk for their help, the Dora tribe has been helping them make musical instruments with mind control for free since that time, until now.

Gradually, the Dora people have lived on this unknown island for many years, they have their own language, they do not have to worry about the persecution of other races, and they live in peace. The Dora have the strength of a barbarian and the intelligence of a human, and although they are only average compared to barbarians and humans, their race has the best attributes for learning the shamanic profession. It's just a pity that the Doro people have always lived at the bottom of society, and they are not qualified to learn shamans, so they have wasted a lot of talents. Until the appearance of Kuta, he was the most talented shaman in the entire Dora tribe, since he was a teenager, he showed an extraordinary love for the shaman's profession, and he was very friendly, and he had a good relationship with the mermaid, so he also learned a lot about the skills and techniques of the ancient shaman from the mermaid, and after twenty years of study, he finally became a qualified shaman.

And Darufar, as Kuta's younger brother, has also studied the profession of shaman under his influence since childhood.

Kuta is a positive young man, he is very kind, although he knows that he has been persecuted by various races against his own people, he still can't stop his desire to go to the Maga continent to study, although he is the next patriarch, but these still can't be the fetters of his long journey. Although the entire nation was opposed to his departure, Kuta eventually left the place with the help of a merfolk and went to the continent of Maga. Then...... The Demon King Naga declared war on the entire continent, and Kuta joined the battle.

He showed a surprising prodigy in this battle, and soon became the youngest elder of the Shaman Profession on the continent of Maga, although his race was strange, and Kuta was silent about his origins. It wasn't until Kuta died on the battlefield of Naga that people didn't know where to learn the origin of Kuta, his kindness and bravery, and his stunning beauty left a deep impression on the entire continent of him, after the battle against the demon king Naga was over, although the Maga continent was divided into five, however, his statue could still be seen in the main city of each continent.

Kuta's death was only known many years later, and the mermaid who had left with Kuta returned to the Dora with his staff, and the Doro were devastated, and the old patriarch died soon after. As the leader of the new generation, Darufar became the new leader of the Dora tribe, and has remained until now.

Ye Ci listened to Darufar's narration, while looking at the staff in his hand, he secretly exclaimed in his heart: "Good guy, this thing is actually a relic of the hero Kuta." According to the historical records of the Maga Continent, after that battle, the last people who were commemorated as heroes all obtained a low-level godhead, although it cannot be compared with other levels or high-level gods, but it is simply impossible for ordinary races to obtain godhead NPCs.

In other words, although Kuta is dead, he is indeed a low-level god, and Kuta's relics - isn't that an artifact!!!

Artifact......

Although he is not a shaman, Ye Ci couldn't help but take a few more glances at that staff, this thing is actually an artifact. It doesn't look like it at all, the shape is simple, the pattern is simple, no matter how you look at it, it's almost the same as a blue suit, at most it won't exceed a purple suit, but I didn't expect it to be an artifact.

Although Ye Ci was a top-level mage in his previous life, he had never seen such a thing as an artifact. Not to mention her, in the entire game of fate, there are only a few dozen artifacts, and there are only a few in the hands of players, and their owners also hide them tightly, how can it be made public? Therefore, from the previous life to this life, this is the first time Ye Ci has seen the so-called artifact, even if his heart is strong, he will still be excited when facing this thing.

There was even a moment when Ye Ci moved to take it for herself, of course, this thought was quickly thrown off by her. After all, offending a legendary great shaman with an artifact in his hands is definitely not something that a smart person does.

"Since the Dora are so amazing, why don't you go out and communicate with people outside?" Ye Ci followed behind Darufar, very curious about this somewhat primitive village.

Darufar stopped, glanced at Ye Ci, and then shook his head: "Although the outside world is wonderful, there are too many temptations, our race is not very fertile, if we go out, the population of the tribe will gradually become scarce, and if there are fewer people, we will be bullied." ”

Although she didn't agree with Darufar's statement, Ye Ci still didn't say anything, she didn't want to delay on this topic, so she pointed to the arrow tower in the distance and said, "Those arrow towers are so beautiful, did you build them too?" ”。

"Yes, we of the Dora tribe, in addition to our excellent abilities as shamans, we also have a talent for architecture, but there are not enough rocks here for construction, otherwise, we can build this place into a dense and unventilated castle." Darufar is very fond of his people, and when he talks about his people, he has a smile on his face that makes people fascinated.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Regarding Darufar's statement, Ye Ci's heart suddenly moved when he heard it.

Architectural talent! Does that mean that they can build impregnable fortresses and castles with enough materials? Now because of the emergence of deserted cities and fortresses, the architect of the life skills division is gradually becoming popular, however, the architect is not easy to practice, other professional upgrade skills are just to do some small things, but they must build a house if they want to upgrade their skills, but the money and materials needed to build a house are not available to ordinary guilds and casual players, only the big guild has such an ability, therefore, all the current architects are in the hands of the big guild, and even every day up is an architect.

But......

If he can get the trust or help of the Doro, Ye Ci should be able to lease some engineers from them. Judging from the sophistication of those arrow towers, the architects of the Dora tribe are definitely at the senior level or above the master, if you can get their help...... Maybe she'd be able to build a tall fortification outside her Mithril vein, and then add all sorts of goblin engineering tools on top of it, like that...... Are you still afraid that you won't be able to hold it?

Thinking of this, Ye Ci couldn't help but be happy in her heart, and the smile on her face was even better. Although Ye Ci wanted to leave here before, but now, she doesn't think so, even if she wants to leave, she can't go in vain, right? At the very least, at least have to have a good relationship with this Darufar.

Although Darufar can guess a lot of Ye Ci's thoughts, but those are the normal reactions of high-level IQ, such as Ye Ci's small abacus in his heart, he just can't guess. He just thought that this white elf was smiling so brightly all of a sudden?

In order not to make Darufar suspicious, Ye Ci withdrew his gaze, nodded, and patted Darufar's ass quietly: "Dear Mr. Darufar, I thank you for taking me to visit your village, the Doro tribe is a great race. ”

The high hat was very pleasant to bring to Darufar, and he smiled and nodded, but still threatened, "White Elf, don't try to lure outsiders over, if you do, the gods of our tribe will always hunt you down." Saying that, with a wave of his staff, Ye Ci had an additional passive BUFF on his body.

Ye Ci saw that this BUFF was Doro's tracking, and if she told the secrets and locations of the Doro clan to other NPCs except for the mermaids, she would be hunted down by the Doro clan.

Damn, this old man is too much, and she is not so stupid, she doesn't need to curse so hard if she tells others about this kind of thing.

Despite this, Ye Ci still expressed understanding, and she saluted Darufar, not paying any attention to his threats and curses, which made Darufar very satisfied, and Ye Ci's reputation in the Dora tribe was also promoted from immediate to friendly.

When he didn't find how to upgrade his favor with the Doro clan, Ye Ci decided to do what the mermaid had explained first. And Darufar obviously meant the same thing, and he took Ye Ci into a large animal skin tent in the village, and on the outside of the animal skin tent was also inserted the shaman's search totem, and the eyes on it were constantly looking at everyone who came and went. At the door of the tent hangs a wooden sign carved with the appearance of a musical instrument.

After entering the tent, Ye Ci saw that there were seven or eight young people of the Dora tribe inside, they were all concentrating on the work in their hands, and sitting in the middle of the tent was a spiritual young man, he saw Darufar come in and quickly stood up, put down his work, saluted Darufar, and then muttered a string of words that Ye Ci did not understand.

And Darufar also opened his mouth to say something that Ye Ci couldn't understand, which made Ye Ci have a headache. Do they know that it hurts? Totally like a fool. After the two talked for a while, Darufar suddenly raised his hand and gently pressed it on Ye Ci's head, muttering something in his mouth, and saw his palm emitting a dazzling light.
