Chapter 209: Swamp Dragon, the turmoil caused by Zhao Gongzi, and the etiquette of the elves
After a meal of tidying, although it is still a little messy, it is good to be able to see people.
"Uncle Luo, I don't know this, um... Who is your guest? ”
One of the older players asked cautiously.
"This is Zhao Gongzi, and he will cover any consumption at the Cat's Tail Tavern tonight."
Chartered?
Both players' faces changed in unison.
They often come here, but they know that if they want to buy this place, they will need at least 5,000 gold coins, and if you add wine and food, you can't get it without a five-figure figure.
The five-figure gold coins are enough for the average player to squander for a long time.
As players, their minds changed quickly enough, and they quickly thought of the reason why Luo Yang called them, and asked respectfully with a changed face.
"Hello Zhao Gongzi, my name is Monkey Lixu, and his name is Monkey Lifa, both of which are the names of the forum."
"Excuse me, we are willing to serve you."
Ji Chen was speechless for a while.
Good guy, can you name it like a person, it's really a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes...
He bowed his head slightly and said slowly.
"I heard Luo Yang say that when you were exploring outside, you encountered a dragon?"
"Not really." Hearing this, the two glanced at each other a little embarrassed, "That's what we were bragging about before, a top-level creature like a dragon, if we had encountered it, I'm afraid we wouldn't be standing here now, and it would have been sprayed into ashes by a breath." ”
"Actually, we met the swamp dragons."
There was some interest in my heart.
This world dragon creature is very easy to distinguish from the name.
Dragons like red dragons, blue dragons, and poisonous dragons are all top-notch dragons, which are often referred to as orthodox dragons.
And the Ocean Dragon, the Desert Dragon, and the like, are second-level dragons.
Then there are the swamp dragons, and the strength of dragon creatures with a certain amount of dragon blood, such as bipedal wyverns, is not to be underestimated.
Thirdly, there are many dragon-like races with a small amount of unequal dragon blood, most of which are dragons with promiscuous nature, and new species created by combining with various races, more or less possessing some of the characteristics of dragons.
And what these two players are talking about is the Swamp Dragon of the same level as the Wyvern.
Ji Chen was a little disappointed in his heart, the lower the rank, the less dragon blood it contained, and the less dragon blood crystals it would produce when killing it.
The dragon's blood crystals produced by a swamp dragon are not bad if they can help dozens of dragonblood fishmen advance.
"Tell me everything you know, Zhao Gongzi will not treat you badly." Luoyang Road.
Monkey Lixu and Monkey Lifa nodded and said.
"I remember that the two of us took on an aboriginal mission at that time, asking us to survey the terrain of a certain place, don't you know, those aboriginal thieves are stingy, let us run so far, and it is such a dangerous place,
Guess how much they pay us?"
"For less than a thousand gold coins, it's a bully!"
"But there is no way, both of our territories have been captured, and we have to compromise for the sake of life, so we have to take this task head-on."
"Along the way, we encountered many wild monster gathering places and wandering bandits, and many times we almost gave up our heads..."
The corners of Ji Chen's mouth twitched.
These two Wolong Feng Rough said it well at first, but the more they talked about it, the more they deviated from the topic, and vented the emotions hidden in their hearts with a look of grievance.
Seeing that the more they talked, Luo Yang's face slowly darkened.
"You get to the point!"
"Huh? Oh oh, get to the point, get to the point. Monkey Li smiled humbly, coughed lightly, and said, "Later, on our return trip, we borrowed a swamp in order to take a shortcut, and who saw more than 20 swamp dragons rolling in the mud from a distance..."
"You say there are more than two dozen swamp dragons?"
"Well, yes, that's all we see, but maybe there's more to it in the depths."
Ji Chen was happy in his heart, although more than twenty of them was not a lot, at least he could obtain a considerable number of dragon blood crystals, which was worth his trip.
Seeing Ji Chen's changing face, Monkey Lixu and Monkey Lifa suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be that this loser, ahh
"Zhao Gongzi, are you going to do that group of swamp dragons? The lowest of those things were all fifth-order, and they were in their swamp home, so it was too difficult to kill them. ”
"That's right, I've checked the information, the swamp dragon is not only rough and thick-skinned, but also comes with a skill called swamp aura, which can put a negative buff on the enemy, and the thief is disgusting."
Ji Chen waved his hand absently.
"I've got my own measure."
These words made Luo Yang, who also wanted to persuade him, shut up, but he was not optimistic in his heart.
To be honest, isn't this death!?
Fifth-order wild monsters, it is still a little unimaginable for them now, according to the player's current mainstream or third-order troops, if you want to defeat more than 20 fifth-order swamp dragons, I don't know how many troops you have to fill in.
Even if you have a net worth of 100 million, you will be treated equally in front of wild monsters!
This is not an online game that can be resurrected, and if you are not careful, you will put your life into it, and you will die!
Seeing Ji Chen's face firm and his mind had been decided, the three of them could only sigh in their hearts.
Ji Chen naturally didn't know what they were thinking, and if he knew, he would only laugh it off.
It was Zhao Liangchen who died, Zhao Gongzi, what does it have to do with him Ji Chen?
"Where is the swamp where you met the Swamp Dragon?"
Monkey Lixu and Monkey Lifa didn't hesitate, it was just a swamp full of monsters, and they wouldn't go a second time, so there was no problem in saying it.
Monkey Lixu took out a map and marked a place on it.
"Elder, if you really want to go to this cover, then you must be careful, not only those swamp dragons are very scary, but there are also a lot of powerful wild monsters along the way there."
"It took a lot of effort for us to get back in full shape."
Thinking of the thrilling place on the road, they were thrilled, and secretly vowed in their hearts that they would never take on such a dangerous mission again.
Ji Chen stared at it, it was about four days away from Maple Grove City, and he was already far away from the warning range of Maple Grove City.
But the bad news is that this swamp is far from the coastline and has penetrated deep into the continental area, which means that if he does not encounter suitable terrain, his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
And this is not so friendly to the crown of the ocean, which is all pure oceanic, amphibious troops.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to go anyway.
Again, the greater the risk, the greater the gain.
As the first class of the class technology tree that can use foreign objects to advance, the Dragonblood Fishmen are of great significance, and they already have a qualitative difference from other classes with dragon skills.
If you advance to the end of the dragon blood technology tree, you may really be able to evolve into a dragon-like existence.
This is a temptation that Ji Chen can't resist, and it's worth taking a risk.
After marking the location of the swamp on his map, Ji Chen put it in his backpack.
He casually took out two bags of gold coins and threw them on the table, and there was the sound of gold coins colliding and heavy objects falling to the ground.
looked at Luo Yang and Monkey Lixu, who were surprised, and said leisurely.
"These two bags of gold are for you."
"Also, tell the players in Maple Forest City that I, Zhao Liangchen, will not treat the people who helped me badly."
After speaking, Ji Chen smiled crookedly, got up and left with Alice.
This is the old man's son.
It wasn't until Ji Chen walked down the stairs that the three of them reacted.
"Damn, it's enough to pretend to be forced!"
Monkey Li pursed his lips, it was the first time he had seen such a pretending player in this world.
"Indeed, but also generous!" Monkey looked at the two bags of gold coins on the table with shiny eyes.
Judging by the sound of the falling, the bag contained at least hundreds of gold coins.
It's so easy to make so much money in just a few words.
Just as Monkey Lixu and Monkey Lifa happily shared the gold coins, Luo Yang looked at the stairs where Zhao Liangchen had left, with thoughtful eyes in his eyes.
With Ji Chen's behavior of pretending to be like this in the cattail tavern this time, although he was secretly ridiculed by the players as a big wrong, it was precisely because of this behavior that its name quickly spread like a virus throughout the entire Maple Forest City player group.
Overnight, no one in Maple Grove City did not know that Zhao Gongzi, who relied on the sale of rare resources and had hundreds of millions of families, also knew the name, which caused a lot of turmoil.
There are many envious, envious, and supporters.
Of course, the aftermath caused by this turmoil is not only that.
.....
Leave the Cattail Tavern and head back to the carriage.
Raymond, who had been left here, had his eyes lit up and greeted him with a big belly.
"My lord, you're back, are things going well?"
"Well, it's not bad."
"By the way, the expenses incurred by the cat's tail tavern tonight will be left by you to be responsible for the finishing touches, remember to act like a subordinate of a gentleman, be arrogant!"
Raymond was stunned for a moment, wondering what this was going to do, but since it was the lord's order, he had to do it.
"Understood."
Ji Chen nodded, boarded the carriage, and returned to Fenglin Port.
Entry and exit are allowed in Maple Forest City at night, but only for privileged people, and Ji Chen is naturally one of them.
After showing the soldiers guarding the gate the entry token, they were quickly released, and a team of elite soldiers was thoughtfully dispatched to escort them back to Fenglin Harbor.
On the way back.
The moonlight is long, and the moonlight is pleasant.
The soft breeze at night is very comfortable, accompanied by the singing of insects, which calms the soul.
Ji Chen, who took off the mask of delusion and returned to his original body, leaned on the carriage and recalled the trip to the Black Gold Square just now.
What touched him the most was the current state of the player.
It's only been a few months since they entered this world, and the players at this stage are definitely not as good as the aborigines who have decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years of heritage.
But players are also a group of extremely creative and adaptable creatures, who have found a suitable place for them to survive among many restrictions and dangers, and many races and forces.
The alliance of players on King Kong Island, the Black Gold Workshop in Maple Grove City, is a living example of what he has seen with his own eyes.
Over time, players may become an important force in this world.
Come back to your senses.
Ji Chen looked at Alice, who was sitting opposite, and said with a smile.
"How about the upstart who played just now? Like? ”
Alice smiled slightly.
"Originally, that image was very consistent, and with the superb acting skills of adults, if you don't say it, you are a well-founded nouveau riche who has escaped from it, and even if the nouveau riche comes by himself, he can only be ashamed of himself."
Ji Chen: "....."
If Alice wasn't 100% of his own, he was a little skeptical that she was really mocking him.
Return to the manor in Port Maplewood.
After a simple wash, Ji Chen lay on the bed, hugged Alice's soft body, and soon fell asleep.
I slept until noon the next day, and then woke up slowly.
While enjoying a delicate lunch prepared by the butlers and maids, the elves visited.
The person who came was the elven military officer who didn't say a word, and when he saw Ji Chen, he meticulously performed an elven elegant etiquette, full of aristocratic feeling.
Perhaps because the Silvermoon Dynasty was so powerful that it wanted to distinguish itself from other races, its royal family and nobility evolved a series of very cumbersome rituals.
Its complexity could be illustrated in a book, and its complexity was to the shame of the court ceremonies of the human kingdom.
From the audience to Her Majesty the Empress, down to every word and deed, there are clear writing standards.
Even a military attaché who was clearly a military officer displayed extremely standard etiquette.
In comparison, Ji Chen was much more casual.
Sitting on the chair with a big grin, the fork in his hand directly forked a piece of high-quality steak made after more than ten processes, and took a big bite.
With a glass of wine in one hand, he drank it straight away.
even crossed his legs.
But looking at him like this, none of the people present raised any objections, even if it was Bright.
What's more, Brett already felt that he was very likely to not be able to get out of twenty rounds in the hands of His Excellency Ji Chen, so he had no opinion.
In this world, strength is respected.
The strong can do whatever they want, and even change a custom or fashion.
However, Ji Chen saw that Brett was coming, so he also restrained a little, put down the fork and wine glass, and got up to greet him.
"Lord Bright, are you looking for me?"
"Your Excellency Ji Chen, Your Excellency the Ambassador asked me to send you a letter." Brytt pulled out an envelope without a trace of wrinkles.
"A letter?" Ji Chen was a little surprised, reached out and took the envelope, and looked at it a few times.
I don't know what material the envelope is made of, but it feels great to the touch, and it is engraved with some golden flower decorations, and you can smell a surging fragrance of flowers.
In the middle of the envelope, there was a text written by His Excellency Ji Chen, written in Elven language and the lingua franca of the mainland.
Good guys, elves are so particular about even an envelope?
"In addition to this letter, His Excellency the Ambassador has also asked me to convey to you that it is best not to leave the safe area of Maple Grove City and Maple Grove Harbor these days, as the troll tribes in the Alvin Mountains to the north are starting to move a little bit again."
Troll tribes?
Ji Chen was a little interested.
