CHAPTER XXVI
The four towns in the northwest, from south to north, are Rye Town, Huishi Town, Gold Rush Town and Longhe Town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rye Town is the only place in the area that has a large area of fertile soil that has not been polluted by negative energy, and agriculture is developed here, and all the high-end agricultural products of the entire four towns are produced here.
There are many low-end gem mines near Pyroxene Town, and some rare and precious gems are occasionally produced in the veins, which is the easiest place to get rich overnight among the four towns, and also concentrates the most adventurers and outlaws. Or to put it another way, this is almost the core of the four towns in the northwest.
There are gold veins near the gold mining town, although the quality is very low and the production is not much, but the charm of yellow and clear gold is irresistible. It was home to a large number of people who wanted to make a fortune, and although most of them were actually poor, it also made the town prosperous. But in reality, the main production of Gold Rush Town is copper and iron ore.
Located at the northernmost point of the Four Towns is Dragonroar Town, which is located at the exit of a rather narrow mountain path, and along the mountain road, it is a relatively barren area in the barren mountain range, rich in all kinds of monsters from goblins to dragons. So the main output of this town is the materials on all kinds of monsters, as for how many bones are buried in the stomachs of monsters behind these materials, who cares?
According to the plan, Gerald - or Sui Xiong - was to go to Dragonroar Town, to the Dragon's Lair deep in the mountains, and to negotiate with the evil dragon "Extreme Cold Tyrant" who lived here and had been causing trouble for the inhabitants for more than fifty years, to let him move and receive a prize of 5,000 gold coins for this successful negotiation. But now, they have more important things to do.
Treasure hunting.
"Exorcise dragons on one side and treasure hunting on the other, either one is fun and full of classic European RPG feel. Sui Xiong said happily, "The only question is, which one is the main quest......? Is there a time limit for this game's mission system?"
He was not worried about the problem of "mission failure", after more than ten days of adjustment, he had already adjusted the jellyfish body, and now this body was nearby, ready to unleash maximum strength.
When he gives it his all, he is fearless!
The new form of Sui Xiong's body is like a translucent balloon. Huge enough to build a village at the top, many powerful tentacles hung down, dozens of sets of spiral blades were distributed throughout the body, which could provide power to go in all directions, and dense magic runes spread all over the body, allowing this huge body to easily float in the air, and change color at any time, producing an effect as if it were invisible.
For example, at this moment, Gerald was running errands in the adventure guild of Gold Rush Town, and Sui Xiong's huge body, which could raze the entire Gold Rush Town once he fell, was floating in the air two or three hundred meters above the ground, squinting his eyes to enjoy the warm breeze and warm sunshine, and by the way, drawing an endless stream of magic from the air and sunlight, contributing to the improvement of his strength.
But in Gold Rush Town, not even a single resident could see the big monster in the sky.
"If you want to play high, you must practice every day and not slack off. Even if you can't find a suitable monster to brush for the time being, at least you have to stick to hanging. It is necessary to know that if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat, even if you were once a master, if you don't level up for a while, you will be caught up by people, or even left far behind. It's like writing an online novel, and after a year off, you will find that your popularity has dropped to a miserable level, and the collection and clicks are not even a fraction of what they used to be. The car in front is overturned, and the car behind is a lesson!"
In a cold snap that froze mortals to death, the giant floating jellyfish yawned silently and fell asleep.
He wasn't worried about Gerald's danger, not to mention that the big guy seemed to be able to fight, even if he encountered Gerald's own unevenness, there was also a soul clone he left in the bone bracelet that could be shot.
"Dear sir, this is the bonus for the mission 'Destroy the Orc Wolf Cavalry'. The waitress of the Adventure Guild's half-elf handed over a piece of metal that shimmered with magical light in both hands, and her face was full of respect.
Being able to single-handedly defeat the bandit group that has ravaged the four towns for many years is of course respectable for such a strong man. If it weren't for the fact that the physique difference between them was too great, she even wanted to tempt this young powerhouse, even if she couldn't get a long-term meal ticket, the spring breeze was once secretly knotted, and it was a very beneficial thing to give birth to a descendant with the blood of a giant!
In this world, bloodline inheritance is a very common thing. The descendants of the strong must have a higher starting point than the descendants of ordinary people, as long as they work hard enough, plus some luck, and pass it on from generation to generation, they can become a family force to look up to.
In the four towns in the northwest, the most important is such a family. Although they usually hide in the shadows, and are reluctant to show their heads easily, so as not to become the target of public criticism, all major organizations are full of respect for them, not only to discuss major matters with them, but sometimes when they encounter some situations where the benefits are so great that they dare not monopolize and have to share the profits with everyone, they will also be the first to pull them in.
The young waitress naturally did not expect to be the founder of such a large family, but that did not prevent her from daydreaming a little.
Gerald took the nameplate engraved with the magic rune, and after a little checking, he was sure that the information was correct, and he could use this nameplate to go to the temple of the god of commerce to receive two thousand gold coins, and he couldn't help but smile.
Although he already has a huge amount of money, how can he not be happy when he easily has such a large amount of money in his account.
"I'm going to post a mission and recruit two people. He said, "One is a thief who requires expertise in traps and is not a believer in the Night Gods, and the other is a priest who requires expertise in healing and is the same in faith." ”
The waitress rolled her eyes, suddenly understood something, and asked with a smile, "Are you looking for a companion in the treasure hunt?" Why don't you find an experienced mage?"
"Mage's words, we have them here. Gerald pointed to Parin, who was sitting not far away reading a book, "It's not very old, but it's reliable." ”
The waitress looked at Parin carefully and shook her head slightly. She's been working in the Adventure Guild for years, and she's honed her unusual eyesight. The young dwarf mage may have been talented and hardworking, but he clearly didn't have much strength.
Mages are divided into two categories, academic and practical. The former has the advantage of knowing many spells and techniques, and claims to be able to sling any enemy if fully prepared. The latter specializes in the practical use of spells, claiming that his combat power kills several streets of the academy in seconds, and this is not boasting, in some extreme emergencies, a dozen or so academic mages may not be able to do a combat mage. Both have different strengths, and there is no necessarily superiority or disadvantage.
There is no high or low type of mage, and there is a gap between the casters. The young dwarf mage knew at a glance that he was inexperienced and had very limited reserves. Even if he is not a complete rookie, at least he is far from the title of "Old Jianghu" or "Battle Mage".
It's not realistic to expect such a young man to help at a critical moment!
"To be honest, I think you should find another spellcaster. She whispered, "Even if it's prepared." And it can also let the young mage learn more from the useful experience of his predecessors, and he will not suffer any loss. ”
Gerald pondered for a moment and accepted the suggestion.
"Then please wait a minute, I will organize the information for you and give you the list of people who meet the requirements. ”
"Don't bother. A voice with a slight reluctant smile came, but an old man in light leather armor with a weathered face walked over, "Isn't it just a treasure hunt, this big man, that little mage, plus me, three people are enough." ”
Gerald was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and felt that this person was inevitably a little too old, and couldn't help but doubt his strength. The waitress was startled and hurriedly lowered her head to avoid being seen with a surprised look.
But in fact, her expression had already been clearly seen by Sui Xiong's soul perception.
"Gerald, this old man is probably not an ordinary person, be careful. ”
"Your Majesty!"
Looking at Gerald's scrutinizing gaze, the old man looked very calm, and he didn't mean to panic at all: "My name is Rennes, 'Kuaishou' Rennes." Presumably this nickname is enough to prove my strength. In these four towns, you will never find a more powerful thief than me. ”
Gerald frowned, "Although the nickname 'Kuaishou' is powerful, it is not a trap mechanism. You're a pickpocket, right? I want an expert in traps and traps. ”
This world is not a game, and there is certainly no level to it. The strength and fame of adventurers are often judged by their nicknames.
Nicknames are not self-inflicted, they are selected by the guild based on the adventurer's past experiences and then let them choose for themselves. These nicknames are divided into several levels, and experienced adventurers can tell each other's strengths and weaknesses from the nicknames alone.
The lowliest adventurers don't have nicknames, like Parin at the moment, they are fledgling, they have neither awe-inspiring strength nor convincing results, and are pure rookies.
After passing the rookie stage, adventurers receive the nickname of the lowest level. Such nicknames are described by the characteristics of their appearance or equipment, such as the "bald" Nien. It not only means that the adventurer has made a name for himself and can be regarded as the number one person, but also means that there are no achievements that can be achieved, just a familiar face.
The title of a higher level is marked by a convincing result. At that time, the captain of Gerald's adventure team was nicknamed "Shooting Tiger", because he once proved his strength by shooting a tiger with a bow and arrow alone. Similarly, there are "chasing wolves", "cutting bears" and so on, all of which are proof of military achievements.
Further up, it is a summary of the adventurer's strengths. Adventurers who are able to bear this nickname are already outstanding in some aspects and can be called the best among their peers. For example, if he is called a "quick knife", his knife must be very fast, and ordinary rookies may only see a knife light, and his head has been cut off. And the one called "Scud" must have run fast, and it was almost impossible to escape his pursuit.
This is the case with the old man who goes by the nickname "Kuaishou", and his nickname proves that he has a pair of very nimble and fast hands, and is a first-class pickpocket. However, what Gerald needs is someone who can help him see through the traps and crack the mechanism, even the most powerful pickpockets can't help.
In the face of Gerard's questioning, Wren raised his eyebrows, and his face showed pride: "Young man, it seems that you know a little about the situation in our four towns! The reason why I call it 'Kuaishou' is not because I am only good at stealing, but because there is no second person in the four towns who has a faster and dexterous hand than me, whether it is stealing, breaking traps, or ...... Fight. ”
As he spoke, he saw a flash of cold light, and six or seven daggers had been inserted horizontally and vertically on the ground beside them. Not to mention a mediocre waitress, even Gerald himself couldn't see what he did.
