Chapter 9: The First Hidden Mission
Early the next morning, Fang Mu followed Wu Li to the Farr City Trading Market, met with the old customers of the Shadow Leaf Dungeon, and then divided them into several batches to sell the excess pyroxene ore resources in the dungeon. And Fang Mu followed behind Wu Li with his head down from beginning to end, as if he were her entourage.
At this time, the contract has been completed, the customer has paid a deposit of twenty gold in advance, and the transport convoy will drive to the entrance of the second dungeon to load the goods in a few days, as for the identity of the customer, why so many pyroxene mines, these things do not need to be asked, this is the rule of the road.
In the market, caravans of caravans of caravans of camels and beasts come and go, public and private merchants from the Kingdom of Vian, the Federation of Rijeland, and the Kata tribal group meet and camp here, and itinerant caravans from other parts of the city pass by regularly, bringing all sorts of exotic knick-knacks like the gypsies of the Middle Ages.
And after the deal was concluded, of course, Fang Mu didn't go home with Uri immediately, after all, for him, this trip to Farr City to exchange goods was just incidental, his original intention was two, the first was to do those hidden tasks that were not dangerous at all, and the second was to purchase some things that could be used in the Shadow Leaf Dungeon.
How to make yourself stronger? One aspect is to increase the population of one's territory, build infrastructure, and provide armor and other equipment, but these are only one aspect.
On the other hand, it is necessary to enhance the strength of the first echelon of the territory, in other words, if your territory is only full of people, but the average level is too low, it is useless, and a strong person can mow the grass in your territory. Although it is true that there are some formation diagrams or some technology or psionic devices in this world that can be equipped on the legion to gather scattered attacks, or to disassemble and disperse large-scale enemy attacks to everyone, those Eastern and Western Pastors cannot be obtained for the time being.
It's easy to level up players, but it's very likely that players won't come back as soon as they leave the Novice Village, so Fang Mu must slow down the player's upgrade process and focus on loyal and reliable NPCs.
First of all, NPCs don't give experience when they do other NPC tasks, so you can't post tasks for yourself and then do your own tasks, so you can go back and forth to entertain yourself.
Fang Mu has been trying to card bugs since the beginning of the crossing, in addition to releasing tasks for himself, he also takes it for granted that he asked Uli to release ten tasks to him in a minute, and the follow-up is that there is no experience, and the money is left and right.
Obviously, he didn't succeed in stepping on his left foot and his right foot to the sky.
It seems that he can only get rewards from the main and side quests in his quest bar, and maybe some world quests, hidden quests I don't know, and I haven't tried it yet.
There are only a few ways to level up NPCs, and if you want to level up NPCs, you can either fight monsters, exercise your combat skills, or use foreign objects.
In the market of Farr City, there are waves of cries of selling in front of you.
"Take a look, take a look, all kinds of rare ores, there are all kinds of ......",
"Warrior equipment from a distant land! The whole body is made of Mithril, showing the style of a tough guy on the battlefield......"
At this time, Fang Mu stood in front of a store, looking at all kinds of rare things in the transparent wall windows, thoughtful.
Then, his gaze rested on a certain round bead.
"Item Name: Shadow Orb
Type: Cultivation Item/Environment Atmosphere Item
Quality: Excellent
Synopsis: The beads that collect the essence of the shadow are distributed in many large and small dungeons, which are necessary for the strength of most monsters and an important medium for performing mysterious rituals.
Function: Assist in mystical rituals, or use it to increase the strength of monsters in dungeon forces. ”
Seeing the man in the hat outside the door, the shopkeeper hurriedly put down the work in his hand:
"This gentleman, you really have a vision, these Shadow Orbs are a special product of a dungeon that the Kingdom of Vivian has just conquered, at that time, hundreds of elite crusaders fought bloodily in the dungeon, and finally defeated the monsters inside. This Shadow Bead has quite pure shadow energy in it, whether it is used to arrange rituals or wear it with you, it is the best choice, and it also has the effect of nourishing the skin......"
Fang Mu listened to the background story of this shadow bead and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"How do you sell it?"
"Fourteen silver, this price is quite affordable, you must know that this batch of shadow beads can fall into my hands, it will take a lot of twists and turns......"
The merchant began to talk endlessly about the difficulties and dangers of obtaining these Shadow Beads, in order to prove that he had set this price and was not deceitful, Fang Mu couldn't buy it, he couldn't be fooled, and he couldn't buy anything.
Half an hour later.
After a confrontation of hundreds of sentences around the argument of whether the quality of this batch of Shadow Beads was good or not, Fang Mu wanted to capture the past many times, and he finally discussed with the merchants and agreed to buy a total of twelve Shadow Beads in bulk at a cheap price of ten silver each, followed by a large number of other Shadow Bead energy carriers.
Uri looked at Fang Mu in a daze, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Since the curse of the witch god was lifted, the image of Rebek's identity has completely collapsed.
Grinding and chirping with hawkers for half a sky-high price, is this the self-cultivation of being a lord?
It's just that Fang Mu looked as usual, and he didn't feel that bargaining with the vendor was a very low behavior, after that, he traveled around the major stores, ordered a large number of messy things for the Shadow Leaf Dungeon, and then asked Uri to go back to the inn and wait.
He's going to open a hidden mission, and this process requires delicate operations, and any other people who accompany him will become a drag on him!
Pushing open the door of the brown gray tavern, a strong smell of wine mixed with a strange sour smell came to his face, Fang Mu wrinkled his nose, looking a little unhappy.
Ignoring the noisy drinkers, Fang Mu walked straight to the bar and tapped the table with his knuckles, making a crisp sound.
"Have a Neville beer."
Tokes, the alcohol-scented bartender, drooped his eyelids, rubbed his white sideburns with his sleeve, and showed no sign of wanting to look up at Fang Mu.
"No one knows how to mix that beer for a long time, so let's have a glass of black pine, I invite you."
"No, I'll ask for Neville beer, you'll make it."
Tox finally opened his eyes and looked at Fang Mulai in front of him.
"Who told you?"
"Godmother."
Fang Mu's expression was calm, his eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly the corners of his mouth grinned, and he smiled with relief.
*Tox's +20 opinion of you, current friendship level: Friendly.
Hearing the word godmother, coupled with the relieved smile of the above pastor, Tox glanced at Fang Mu deeply, and then got up and went to the backstage of the bar.
"Wait five minutes."
Five minutes later, a glass of Neville beer was handed to Fang Mu's hand, Neville beer was very foamy, yellow with a little green, and it seemed to be brewed with special ingredients.
"How much?"
"Don't want money, count me as yours. What's your name, please? ”
"Lauervey."
After getting the beer, Fang Mu said goodbye to Tox, and then with this beer, he wandered around the city of Farr and found a street that was not very conspicuous.
"It should be this street, it's been too long, and I can't remember some details......"
Fang Mu frowned, the bartender Tox just now is a remnant of the Solu Ancient Kingdom, the Solu Ancient Kingdom has long disappeared in the long history at this moment, it ****, the implementation of theocratic oligarchy. And the godmother that Fang Mu said had the royal blood of Solugu and claimed to have received oracles. She traveled extensively to restore her kingdom, spread her teachings, and find the murderer of the last king of Solugu.
Of course, her own teachings are the teachings of the ancient kingdom of Solugu, which has a great impact on the current human society, coupled with the fact that she has been engaged in this rather threatening work for a long time, coupled with her considerable strength, she has naturally become a top dangerous person, and is wanted by the Holy See of Light, the episcopal church of mankind.
It sounds like nonsense, but the backstory is like this, this secret organization led by the godmother is called the "Order of Order", and the guards will arrest you directly when they encounter a member of the Order Order, and then put you in prison to track down your details, of course, they can't tell the difference many times.
Apparently, Tox, the bartender, was dormant in Farr City as a member of the Order Order, most likely not to experience life.
Farr City has a lot of people and mixed races, and it stands to reason that it is not at all as well-organized and clean as Rainbow City, the capital of the Kingdom of Vivian.
For example, the sanitary environment of this street is quite poor, and as Fang Mu walked by, several big gray rats came out next to the garbage can.
Fang Mu's footsteps stopped next to an unkempt beggar, who had a small porcelain bowl in front of him, his limbs intact, his head bowed and he didn't say a word, as if he had already fallen asleep.
"Neville beer, if you don't drink it, it's gone."
The beggar raised his head for a moment, his eyes moistened with highlights.
"Who asked you to come?"
"Godmother."
Neville beer is a specialty of the extinct kingdom of Solugu, and to say that it is a beer that is actually made in special proportions of azure grass, violet juice, mana spices, and other plants, and almost no one knows how to mix this kind of liquor now, except for the remnants of the ancient kingdom who fled from place to place after the fall of the ancient kingdom.
Coincidentally, although they are between a city, there is a one-line connection between the Order Order, and the beggar and the bartender Tox do not know each other, and the latter's identity has several special points, and some other tasks and plots are inextricably linked.
When you come to the person in front of you to trigger the hidden mission, if you don't take this beer, come and tell him that you are sent by your godmother, and he will ask you to show evidence.
But fortunately, Fang Mu completely understands the information of all the members of the Order Order in the whole of Far City, I know where you work, and I also know where your family lives, sir, you don't want your identity to be made public, right?
"I'm the one you're looking for, the Order's revival plan is about to begin, and it's time to get there."
