Chapter 8: Old Mablanche's Grain Sack
Due to the notoriety of the full moon and moonlight rats, the streets of Azcatra are devoid of any pedestrians, only the flickering lights on both sides of the road.
Along the blue and white stone path, Ron endured the pain and trotted all the way, and soon got into the stables of the Five Pot Wine Hotel, and then he chose a place where there were no horses to rest, but there was clean water, and plunged into the trough.
"Whoa!"
"Squeak!"
It's so cold!
Shaking his body in the water, Ron let the blood drift from his hair and dissolve until it was clean and the wound was less painful, and then Ron popped his head out of the water and sprang into the haystack beside him.
It's the end of the year, and the climate is cold, and although there is no ice or snow yet, it is easy to get cold after taking a cold shower if you don't dry it right away.
Luckily, there was no shortage of dry grass in the stables, so Ron rubbed it to remove the moisture from the fur, then turned his head to examine the wound with the peripheral vision of his eyes.
The wound was basically concentrated on his back, and Ron could only see part of it when he turned his head, but the wound he saw was not deep, and he had begun to slowly close his mouth after Ron cleaned it.
After making sure that the wound didn't affect his body too much, Ron finally relented, and he crawled out of the hay pile to return to the barrel.
Then, a small brown-yellow cloth bag hidden in the depths of the stable burst into his eyes without warning, causing Ron's body to shake violently, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes with his front paws!
"Squeak!"
Am I dazzled?
How could this thing be here!?
............
"Poor old Marblanche! we've made it work so much that it looks like it's going to die. I had fed it before I left the farm, but who would have thought that the wagon would break down on the way?"
"If you could get a few handfuls of oats from the field, we'd be grateful to you. You can find enough oats on the edge of the field, but there are scary robots in the field, so you need to be careful. ”
Shaking his head and flicking the words that seemed to linger in his ears as if Ferna Fablon were still in his ears, Ron returned from his memories.
This is a classic quest from the early growth of the Stormwind Terrans in WOW, called "Old Mablanche", and the main content is to help Ferna Fablon get enough food for Old Mablanche: oats.
Oats are everywhere in the farmland on both sides of the road, but there are a number of puppet robots active in the farmland, these are made by another race in the world of Yamaguchiyama: gnomes, and the original purpose is to help farmers harvest crops.
"Thank you so much! poor old Blanche will be very pleased!"
After defeating the puppet bot and handing enough oats to Ferna Fablon, the player will be able to choose one of two other quest rewards: Old Mablanche's Grain Bag and Old Mablanche's Blanket, in addition to the XP and Gold rewards.
And at this moment, above the brown and yellow cloth bag that Ron saw in the depths of the stable, there were several three-dimensional pure white characters flashing upright: [Old Marblanche's grain and grass bag]!
"Squeak!"
Am I not crossing over, but still playing the game?
With a low chirp, confusion swirling in Ron's mind, he carefully looked around again, carefully observing anything in the stable, not missing a single detail, but whether it was the roughness of the hay beneath him, the dim light outside the stable, the stench of horse manure in the stable, or even the steaming of a few horses resting in the stable, it was clear to Ron that this was the real world.
Except for the brown-yellow cloth bag with nine pure white three-dimensional characters floating above it......
"Squeak!"
Existence is reasonable!
Since you can even encounter respawns yourself, why can't the items in the game appear in the real world?
Thinking of comforting himself, Ron slowly walked slowly, changing direction as he narrowed the distance between him and the brown and yellow cloth bag. The pure white three-dimensional text on the brown and yellow cloth bag also changes direction as Ron rotates, ensuring that Ron can always see the front of the text.
Eventually, Ron's claws slowly lifted and made contact with the brown-yellow cloth bag.
"[Old Mablanche's Grain and Grass Bag]: Containers, four-compartment containers, unique, pick-up bindings. ”
"Bind successfully!"
Without warning, Ron's head heated, and a text suddenly slipped in front of Ron's fiery red eyes, and then Ron felt his claws empty, and the brown and yellow cloth bag that was larger than Ron's entire body suddenly disappeared from Ron's eyes.
"Squeak!"
Where did it go?
Why did it suddenly disappear?
Looking around in some panic, Ron never found any trace of the brown cloth bag in the stable, until he looked down slightly, only to realize that his abdomen was slightly raised in an irregular circle under the cover of brown hair.
"Squeak!"
Sure enough, it's a pick-up binding!
It's so small, and it's still hanging on me!
With some hesitation, Ron flipped through the brown and yellow hair on his abdomen, and saw a miniature brown and yellow cloth bag not much bigger than the front paws of the moonlight mouse attached to his belly, without rope or lanyard, but the small cloth bag was firmly attached to it, without a trace of shaking, and at the same time, he did not feel the slightest weight.
"Squeak!"
Same as in the game, then, maybe I should do it!
Press keyboard B to open the backpack!
As Ron's favorite and longest-played game, how to operate it has become Ron's instinct, squatting slightly, Ron pretending to have a computer with a monitor and keyboard and mouse in front of him, and then tapping the keycap with the letter B without hesitation.
"Click!"
With a crisp sound that only Ron could hear, the brown and yellow cloth bag suddenly broke away from Ron's belly, spun and enlarged in front of Ron, and finally turned into four brown and yellow squares, revealing the contents in front of Ron.
A large white tooth that still shimmered with a dazzling cold light despite a long period of time, a longbow that seemed to be made of vines, with large, tough leaves and flowers blooming from time to time, and a quiver of pale green with faint traces of leaf veins.
"Squeak!"
This is...... This is the Tyrannosaurus Dragon's Fang, the Ronrudillore, the Elder Guardian's Longbow, and the Dragon's Quiver!
Looking at the brown and yellow squares that appeared in front of his eyes, Ron immediately recognized these three items, as they were proof that Ron was the oldest, most skillful and combat-capable hunter player in Yamaguchiyama.
Originating from the King of the Tyrannosaurus in Angolo Crater, Tyrannosaurus Tooth is one of the trophies of Beastmaster Odink's glorious hunter career, players can choose from three loot as long as they complete the quest delivered by Odink, and [Len Rudilor, Elder Guardian's Bow] and [Dragon Tendon Quiver] are both from the final class quest of the Yamaguchi Mountain Hunter class: Ancient Stone Leaf!
Whether it's the Tyrannosaurus Dragon's Fang, or the Bow of the Ancient Guardian and the Dragon Quiver, they are all testimonies of Ron's brilliant hunter career in the game, and they are also one of Ron's most important collectibles!
"Squeak!"
I really didn't expect to be able to see you!
Ron's eyes were a little moist, although it was just a virtual item in the old world online game, but it contained no less memories and thoughts than any real objects, and he couldn't help but stretch out his front paws and grab the [Len Rudi Lore, the longbow of the Guardian of the Ancients] in the brown and yellow space in front of him, wanting to hold it in his claws.
Unexpectedly, Ron, like all moonlight rats, retracted his sharp claws, and his front paws, which could be held like the palm of a human hand, easily reached into the brown and yellow space suspended in front of him, and held the longbow made of tough vines, with large, tough leaves and flowers blooming from time to time.
PS: Unlike the Marshal and Little Ferdin, at sunset in the Western Wilderness, an ordinary peasant woman wants you to help their family's only animal, the old horse Blanche (an ordinary old horse tired by the broken carriage), get a few handfuls of oats for rations.
But when you bring back eight handfuls of oats (maybe just enough for Blanche to walk back to Stormwind), you find that the reward for the quest is actually a blanket and a straw bag for old Mablanche?
The classic task of Mt. Yamaguchi in the memory of Wangchao [Old Mablanc].
