The Great Ariktor Desert is the largest desert in the Divine Realm, 1,300 miles north to south, and in that desert is the most dangerous deep red dragon, and the most cunning Ike people. In the yellow sand, tossed by the scorching wind, a black shadow swept across the desert like a goshawk, and a row of yellow smoke swept up on the smooth sand, and the smoke followed behind the black shadow like a giant snake. She ran for a long time before she stopped in front of a sandcastle. She tilted her head, her pitch-black hood falling behind her head, her short silver-white hair glistening in the moonlight. She slid on her hair. I'm sorry, but that guy is me, Turtledove.

"Open the door! I'm looking for Duke Tantari! I shouted at the closed stone door.

The stone gate creaked and was pushed away by a tall Ike man, who poked his head out and looked left and right before he said to me, "You're in the wrong place, we don't have any dukes here." “

"Less mushrooms with me, I don't have much time. Tell Tanley that I brought him Nala's Immortal Magic Essence, three, one no more, one no less. "The reputation of the Ike people on the outside is not very good, and it is good that one out of ten sentences they say is true, especially to strangers. However, I don't want to bring the Ike prestige to worship before chatting with them. We're here today just to hand in a task.,Leave immediately after handing in the task.,What kind of Ike people, Ke Ai people.,It has nothing to do with my fart in the future.。

The Ike man glanced me up and down a few times, and then asked me, as if talking to himself, "You got the Essence of Immortal Magic from Nala?" ”

I shrugged my shoulders, "Believe it or not." I'm just here to get paid for my mission, and no one is stupid enough to travel through this barren Arricdor Desert to trick the world's most astute Ike people. ”

My last adjective to the Ike was obviously very useful to the big man in front of him, he narrowed his eyes, waved at me, and said, "Come in." But I warn you, don't play any tricks. Ike aren't just to fool around. ”

"Got it, you better hurry up and take me to Duke Tanley." I smiled, but my hand didn't leave the blood-red dagger hidden in my apron at my waist. Ike is known for his cunning, one second he may be drinking and singing with you, and the next he may have cut off your head with a knife, calculating which evil lord to sell it to. Everything is less reliable than the dagger in the hands of the Ike people in their own territory.

I followed the Ike down the corridor to a dry room. The Ike man said to me, "Wait here." He bowed and flashed out. In his absence, I looked around the small room, which consisted only of a table and a few stools. The igneous stone floor is very uncomfortable even if you wear shoes to step on it, although it is relatively shady underground, but because of the environment of the Arriktor Desert, the people here feel very uncomfortable, and damn it, I don't dare to lower my sensory sensitivity at will, it's really a sin.

It's been almost three hours since I came out of that underground cavern in the Land of May, relying on the portal of the White Tiger Mayu, who came back from the dead. After Hannah and her party met, I shared my adventures in the underground cave with them, in which I intentionally or unintentionally hid the Hedicras Rubik's Cube Box, after all, I didn't want others to know that I was the first player in the All-God Realm to obtain a super artifact, and I didn't understand how this thing was played. While everyone was grateful for my adventure, they were also happy with the fact that all the items needed for the Dragon Slayer mission were complete. All that's left is to find the Dragon Slayer and kill him. After some discussion, given that there is no news about the dragon slayer's hiding place yet. We decided to split up to find clues, and I, on the other hand, took advantage of this gap to solve the tasks that had accumulated on me first.

About Nala's three immortal magic essences, I got them by the way when I ate black Schilling last time, to be honest, I didn't expect to gain so much from that black eating black, it feels like there is a providence in the underworld, a lot of task props, or key, are from that black eating black. Once I had obtained the Essence of Immortal Magic, I naturally went to Duke Tanley to hand in the mission. I originally thought that the people called dukes lived in high-end castles of several hundred square meters, and there were not a thousand but hundreds of maids, but who knew that when I asked the kings and eight people in the mercenary station, they actually lived in this kind of ghost place where birds don't shit. However, it is no wonder that according to the NPCs, Duke Tancre was a radical reformer who was later framed by diehards in his kingdom and exiled to the territory of the Ike people for political refuge. It is rumored that this Duke of Tanley is preparing an army to fight back to his homeland.

It's just a story, just listen to it, I'm a player who doesn't have any interest in this kind of infighting between NPCs, I only care about how much I can get paid for this task. Turn in the task, get paid, leave, it's as simple as that.

A moment later, a man covered from head to toe in a large red hooded mage robe, protected by two tall Ike men, hurried into the small room I was in. Without even saying hello, the man sat down directly across from me, put his hands on the table, twisted his fingers restlessly, and asked me, "What about the Immortal Essence of Magic?" Take it out and show it to me. ”

It's rude.,But I like it.,Just look at this and know he's an acute one.,Acute NPCs never talk to people mushrooms.,Quick solution.,That's what I want.。 Therefore, I didn't argue with him about his attitude, and without saying a word, I took out a crystal clear red crystal from my bag and put it on the table: "After I get my payment, I will give you the other two essences." ”

That ran didn't seem to be listening to what I was saying, and reached out and took the crystal from the table to look at it carefully. The candlelight in the room slightly revealed the man's face shrouded in a hood by the refraction of the essence, and I could see that it was a middle-aged uncle with a scruffy beard, with a heroic fortitude, typical of the appearance of a noble exile, without the slightest novelty. After about two or three minutes of watching, the man put the crystal back on the table, opened his mouth and asked me, "What about the other two?" ”

It's too straightforward, and it makes me a little angry. I didn't give him a good face, so I gave him a blank look and asked, "What about my pay?" ”

"Remuneration?" The man froze for a moment, then immediately came to his senses and beckoned to one of the guards behind him. The guard placed a small bag on the table, and handed the man a quill and a piece of parchment. The man picked up the pen and scribbled on the paper a few times, and then put on the bag and pushed it in front of me along with the paper: "This bag contains about two hundred gold coins of golden sand, which is considered to be the money to exchange essence with you." This piece of paper is proof that you have successfully completed the commission, and you bring it to the mercenary station, and they will give you the reward you have agreed on in advance. Now give me the two more essences. ”

I weighed the bag, looked at the parchment carefully, and after making sure that what he said was correct, I took the other two pieces of immortal essence from the bag, threw them on the table, and then gathered my things to leave. The Great Desert of Arriktor made me feel irritable, and I felt very unsafe with the Ike people. Instead of taking the crystal to distinguish the true from the fake, the man stopped me: "You wait. ”

"What's the matter?" My first instinct was that they were going to repent. When the crystal is in hand, they can kill me, and then take back the money given to me, in fact, it's useless to deal with the player, I'll only fly back to life when I die, and won't drop even a gold coin for them, but I don't know if the NPC also understands this simple truth, so I naturally grabbed my hand on the dagger, and as soon as I saw that the situation was wrong, I immediately rushed out of a bloody way.

"Don't be nervous. Sit down first, I have a few more questions for you. The man clearly saw my nervousness, and his tone seemed to be deliberately softened.

"Whatever you want, just say it. I still have important things to do, and I don't have time for mushrooms here. "I didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

"May I ask you how you got this crystal?" The man's fingers were twisting and twinking with each other, as if he was a little uneasy.

"This ......" Actually, I'm more uneasy than him, can I just say that I snatched it from Schilling? I thought about it for a while and decided not to say it yet, so I answered him directly, "What does it matter to you, anyway, you want the essence, I gave you the essence, you don't care how it came about?" ”

"I'm not trying to find out how you get the essence, I'm just looking at the results and not the way like you." The man took a deep breath, then continued, "I thought, if you killed Nala and gained the essence, then you must have gained her staff as well. It was a staff with a huge ruby on its head, and a ring carved from white agate. I want to ask if you have any of these things, and if they are on you now. ”

My heart sank, this guy seemed to be familiar with Nala. The two things he was talking about happened to be on me, the Speller's Staff of Skyfire and the Spellmaster's Ring. Originally, I was going to go to Colliers after completing the task today, and ask Colliers to help me buy it and exchange it for some gold coins to replenish some potions and materials. Who knew that the middle-aged uncle in front of him actually mentioned these two items, could it be the beginning of something? However, before I figured out the uncle's intentions, I didn't want to reveal my details, so I pretended to be mysterious: "What if there is, what if there is not?" ”

"I don't like to go around in circles, we open the skylight and say that if you have those two things, I'm willing to pay a lot of money for them." The middle-aged uncle seemed to feel something on me.

"Big price?" I smiled, and now that it seemed that the initiative was in my hands, I casually asked, "How much is a lot of money?" ”

"I'll give five thousand for the staff, and the ring is also five thousand, if the two can be together, I'll add two thousand." The man spread his fingers and flipped them in front of me. I saw that his five fingers were full of colorful rings, and I didn't expect an exiled nobleman to be so rich. It's better to slaughter him and see if he can burst out of something superb.

Thinking about these boring things, he thought I was hesitating and didn't say anything, so he raised the price a little more, "I'll add another two thousand." "Two thousand gold coins is two thousand yuan, twenty pieces of unity, which is more exaggerated than the nouveau riche in real society. I was even more curious, so I said, "Why are you in such a hurry for these two things?" ”

The man fell silent when he heard my question, and I noticed that the two guards behind him looked at me with a blank look, and it seemed that I had said something wrong. I didn't even dare to say a word now, vigilantly watching every small movement of the three people opposite. Suddenly, the uncle laughed loudly: "It seems that the things are indeed in your hands, and if I don't tell you the reason why I am in a hurry to ask for those two things, I guess you will not give them to me." But it doesn't hurt to say that there is no one else here anyway. At this point, his tone suddenly sank: "But you have to swear that you won't tell anyone what I'm talking to you now." ”

Oops, it's an oath again, I'm familiar with this thing, it's still a game, even in real life, few of my oaths have been fulfilled, and I'm still alive and well, and if I don't lose a hair, my hair will be gone, and it depends on the will of God if I obey it or not. After my false oath was sent, the middle-aged uncle began to reveal a few meters of news to me: "I am the Duke of Tancre, a nobleman of the Duchy of Aidara. My whole life has been devoted to the great cause of making my country prosperous. However, my reform career touched the interests of some of the country's elders, who designed to frame me and force me to leave my country and become an exile. I swear to avenge this revenge. However, those brutes have a large army and the support of the Magister Celaris. To defeat them, I have to be strong enough. Now that I have the support of the Ike and I'm a skilled Spellcaster, if I can hold the treasures of the famous Speller Nala, I can stand up to Celalis alone, and with the mighty Ike army, my revenge is just around the corner. ”

I see, it seems that the magic essence is just a disguise, so outsiders can't see the intention of Duke Tanley from the superficial description of the mission, who can guess that Tanley actually wants to have Nala's magical equipment. Duke Tanare's revenge plan didn't conflict with me, and the change of power in a principality in "The Divine Realm" didn't have any effect on me, but Tanley was anxious to get Nala's equipment, so I had to make good use of it. Suddenly, a plan came to my mind.

I smiled kindly at Tanley: "I really admire the blood of Lord Tantarai, and everything in Nala is indeed on me, in addition to the staff and ring, there are also robes and bracers. As a sign of respect for the Duke of Tantari, I can give it to Tantari for you to use permanently. ”

This time it was the turn of the tank mine in a daze: "White ...... Free delivery?! ”

There's no such thing as a free lunch, man. I smiled and raised a finger: "Actually, it's not for nothing, I want to ask Duke Tanley to do me a small favor." ”
