Chapter 19: Exploring the Ruins
When I reopened my eyes, I saw the familiar scene of Boulder.
Su Fan was still in the uninhabited alley, and outside were the busy players, as well as the aborigines who were drinking and selling in the shops.
Looking up, the noon sun spilled on the earth, with a scorching breath, shining on the skin to bring a stinging sensation, as a virtual degree close to the real second world, "Old Gods" for the feedback on the facial features, can be described as almost perfect.
Drip!
Su Fan was about to make a move, when suddenly, a private chat sounded in his friend bar.
Stretching out his hand, a chat box appeared in the air, Su Fan glanced at it, but found that it was a private chat from the Blue Thorn Studio.
[Green Thorn]: "Mr. Viewer, we have delivered the 10 desert crystals you want to your mailbox, please pay attention to check." ”
10 Desert Crystals ........... Su Fan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, remembering when they were separated yesterday.
He also made a profit agreement with the people in the Blue Thorn Studio, which is commonly known as the spoils sharing clause.
The agreement requires that the income from the brush map of the Blue Thorn Studio in the 'Rock Wind Mountains' has the right of first choice for the skills and equipment items of the swordsman's profession, and if it has not been brushed out, this part of the income will be converted into 'Desert Crystal'.
This is a feature material that produces a lot of work in the Rock Wind Mountains.
It seems that the Blue Thorn Studio has not swiped out 'swordsman' related items.......... That's right, it's all luck to be able to brush up on a copy of "Chop Under the Moon", how can there be a saying that you eat every day? Su Fan smiled and shook his head, but he didn't feel lost, because the 'Desert Crystal' was an item he urgently needed.
In the underground ruins of the suspected 'Candace' civilization, Su Fan obtained a gold-level point blueprint, which can turn a series of weapons of the Candacese civilization into a secret prayer weapon, and the required materials are the weapon itself + 10 desert crystals + 100 copper coins.
The black steel sword used in Su Fan's hand was the weapon series of the Candace civilization, and the Blue Thorn Studio sent another 10 desert crystals.
Right now, he's only 100 copper coins left.
You can complete the Ignition and obtain a Dark Prayer Weapon.
However, 100 copper coins are equal to 1 silver coin, in the early stage of the old god world, players helped the aborigines of Juyan Town to complete the errand task, and the income was only seven or eight copper coins, it is conceivable that the value of 1 silver coin in the early stage of the game, at least, Su Fan's body is still empty.
What a shortage of money............ Su Fan shook his head, turned around and went to the postman in Boulder Town, and took 10 Desert Crystals from the Desert Courier Kane's hand and put them in the backpack space.
It is worth mentioning that every town has a postman, the desert messenger Kane.
Emails sent by players to friends can only be sent through Kane, who can also temporarily store items, which is a temporary warehouse.
As for the cost of using the mailbox, it is much cheaper than using the teleportation array to trade in the next town.
Leaving Boulder Town, Su Fan rushed towards the shipwreck location in the Dragon Bone Wilderness.
Having just left the southern area of the keel wilderness, there was still some distance away from the shipwreck, and when Su Fan was running, he couldn't help but think of what happened yesterday.
The Blue Thorn Studio encountered a sweep by the Mowu team, but as a result, the latter was slaughtered by himself, so that the Blue Thorn Studio was most likely blacklisted by the Mowu Guild, and he also had some light, and he may become a wanted target of the Mowu Guild.
Although most of the black cauldron was carried by the Green Thorn Studio, he couldn't get rid of it........... Su Fan was thinking like this, and suddenly, his perception was touched, and his body took a step faster than his consciousness, dodging directly to the right side.
Shout!
An arrow feather grazed his body and landed in the sand, piercing deep into the sand.
"Huh?"
The sneak attacker snorted, obviously not expecting the target's reaction to be so sensitive.
Su Fan looked at the attacker, and saw that in the nearest green forest, there was a female archer hiding in the shadows, the opponent's head was Lv.6 level, and the body was quite well-equipped, faintly shining with black iron luster, which was the light of black iron level armor.
Members of the Mowu Guild.......... Are they searching for last night's enemy? Su Fan suddenly realized, because of his actions last night, the Mowu Guild lost a complete team, and the latter definitely couldn't give up for the sake of the guild's prestige.
If a professional guild slaughters a squad by a casual player, and can't catch the culprit for revenge, then their prestige will be greatly damaged, and whether it is recruiting new people or injecting funds into a hundred societies behind the guild, it will be affected to a certain extent.
Therefore, the professional guild pays great attention to 'face'.
Once there is a conflict with idle players, they will inevitably hunt down the latter, and there are even cases where they are forced to quit the world of "Old Gods" after their level is cleared, or they are willing to give up after creating new characters and reincarnating.
It seems that Su Fan's judgment was correct, after the battle ended yesterday, the Mowu Guild did send a group of official members to start searching the entire Dragon Bone Wilderness centered on the location of their encounter.
It's a pity that the people of the Blue Thorn Studio had already followed Su Fan's advice and evacuated to the Rock Wind Mountain Range.
This made the Mowu Guild's actions completely empty.
But what I didn't expect was that the Mowu Guild was so persistent, and it was obviously a day later, and there were still members searching for their whereabouts.........
Why don't you kill this archer?
Anyway, they all offended the Mowu Guild, and they didn't mind adding another hatred.......... Su Fan's mind was thinking, but in the next second, with his rich experience, he smelled a trace of something wrong, and without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and ran away.
Shout!
Another arrow flew in, but it missed its target and pierced deep into the sand.
"Hell, he wasn't fooled........"
The female archer looked at the figure running in the desert and gritted her teeth.
In the woods beside her, from the shadows, several heavily armed level 6 players slowly walked out, led by level 6 knights, the strongest melee physical profession in the early stage.
"It seems that he is very vigilant, and sure enough, this fourth-level swordsman is a bit evil..........."
The knight said in a loud voice, and they lay in ambush here, waiting for the swordsman to come and throw themselves into the net.
Unexpectedly, the other party was more vigilant than they imagined, and they didn't step on the trap......... Under normal circumstances, when a swordsman sees a lone long-range profession, shouldn't his first reaction be to stick to him and fight back?
What's more, from the mouth of the [Tianya Ronin], I learned that they basically died at the hands of that swordsman, he should be a person from the Blue Thorn Studio, and his skills are quite good, and they can even be called terrifying. And the skills on his body are also very evil, one person broke up two shield guards who were higher than him, which was an incredible thing in the early stage of the game.
Because of this information, the Mowu Guild attached great importance to this matter, and basically sent out all the official members under its command, most of whom were ambushed at the entrances of different oases, monitoring the passers-by on the desert........ No, the other party hit their ambush point.
It's a pity that the flattering eyes were thrown to the blind man, and the [viewer] was not fooled.
"It's okay, our guild has already laid out a defensive line at the entrance of each map.........."
The knight with the name of 'Skynet Restoration' added very calmly: "We have witnessed his escape direction, so we have notified the rest of the guild to immediately conduct a carpet sweep in the northeast direction!" ”
Hearing this, the female archer nodded in agreement:
"As long as you seal a few entrances and exits in the Dragonbone Wilderness, he can't go to other maps........."
"This person is the turtle in the urn, and he can't escape the palm of the Mowu Guild!"
Others agreed, thinking that the player would definitely die, and he actually dared to provoke the Mowu Guild, wait a minute, when they shrank the sweeping range like a poisonous circle and found the [viewer] little by little, at that time, the other party will definitely regret it, why provoke the Mowu Guild.
Every idle player who dares to provoke them will be hit by the thunder of the Mowu Guild.
After reporting the news to the guild, everyone immediately set off and slowly chased in the direction where Su Fan disappeared.
...............
At the same moment, somewhere in the Dragonbone Wilderness, a swordsman was galloping.
"Trap ......... laid by the Mowu Guild"
Su Fan recalled the previous scene and determined that there must be someone in ambush next to the female archer.
Because of this, he did not venture to get close to the enemy.
As a former Starry Sky Sword Saint, he has experienced countless battles in the Old God World, Su Fan's sense of battle, or sixth instinct, is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it is because of this that he can detect through the clues that the situation of the female archer is wrong.
She was surrounded by companions and ambushes against her attackers.
Therefore, Su Fan didn't love fighting, so he simply turned around and left, relying on the advantage of Quan Min's points, he got rid of them at once.
However, Su Fan also understood that this matter was not so simple, according to the domineering style of the Mowu Guild, the other party would definitely continue to chase and kill, lay a defensive line at the entrance and exit of the Dragon Bone Wilderness, and find out his whereabouts in the wilderness little by little.
Although Old Gods is a fully open world, in the early game, those places bordering the Dragonbone Wilderness are either extremely high-level, and the player is sent to death when they enter, or there are natural hazards in the geographical sense, such as cliffs........... In short, the entrances and exits that can allow ordinary players to leave, just a few places, with the size of the Mowu Guild's manpower, are easily blocked.
"They should be searching for my whereabouts........."
"However, that shipwreck is relatively hidden, and I'm not far from being promoted to level five."
"Once upgraded, there will be potential points to be allocated, and it will be able to increase combat effectiveness, I hope Vault Hunter Sophia will not let me down.........."
Su Fan thought about countermeasures, and soon, he came to the familiar oasis of decay.
Heading straight into the depths of the decaying oasis, the huge and astonishing shipwreck, still upside down in the sand, is quite spectacular.
"You're punctual and I like people who keep their promises."
A hoarse voice rang out from the darkness of the cabin, and the next moment, a tall lady with red hair draped over her shoulders voluntarily stepped out of the shadows, it was Vault Hunter Sophia.
Sophia glanced at him, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she said curiously:
"You seem to be in trouble?"
"I smell the smell of killing from you........."
Su Fan shook his head and said casually: "It's just a little trouble, it won't affect our actions." ”
Hearing this, a hint of appreciation flashed in Sophia's eyes, if Su Fan asked her for help, Sophia would have to think clearly about whether she had to take the other party down to explore the ruins.
After all, there are certain rules that make it possible.
Not only her, but the vast majority of the aborigines are reluctant to participate in the private fights of the adventurers.
Unless the other party can bring great benefits and make the aborigines excited, it is possible to participate, of course, the current adventurers can't take such benefits, at least Sophia thinks so.
"Heh, you adventurers, always like to fight each other."
Sophia shook her head slightly, not thinking of delving further, so she took out an iron badge from her arms and gently threw it to Su Fan.
Su Fan glanced down with the help of the badge.
【Vault Apprentice】
Item: Identity Seal
Faction: Song of Gold (Vault Order)
Wearing Effect: The wielder will have 'Good' Faction Reputation, limited to the Golden Song and its members.
It's actually an identity mark.......... Su Fan's pupils shrank, you know, his desert guards can also be seen as a status mark, and this badge thrown by Sophia can gain the reputation of the 'good' rank camp just by wearing it on her body.
Even if it's a prestige level lower than the Desert Guards, it's still an incomparably precious thing.
Because it is not bound to characters, it can even be traded in exchange for huge wealth.
Of course, Su Fan wouldn't do that.
The Song of Gold, this is the most famous Vault organization in Asgard, and even in the Seventh God Domain, there is an intelligence network operated by their organization, just like Sophia once appeared in the Seventh God Domain, so there were many rumors about the Golden Song in the previous life:
It is said that they are the backhands of an old god, working to revive an old god.
It is said that they were meant to replace an old god, in search of an ancient and forbidden treasure of the gods.
It is even rumored that the Golden Song has a private contract with the Grand Duke of Black Flame, and the two have reached a cooperation in some aspects, so the Duchy of Black Flame will become the main active location of the Golden Song..........
Such a valuable secret organization, Su Fan's brain is broken, so he will sell his identity mark to others.
In his previous life, Su Fan had wanted to join the Golden Song, at least to obtain their organizational identity, but unfortunately, after the invasion of the Seventh Divine Domain, this Vault Organization also evaporated like the world, leaving only a few members, active in the territory of the Seventh Divine Domain' 'Alf'.
Now, without much effort, Su Fan has obtained the 'Vault Apprentice' status badge.
This scene made him vaguely realize that something was wrong, and this was just the beginning of the mission........
Could it be ........
Sure enough, when he thought of this, Sophia had already turned around and looked at him fixedly:
"This is a proof of identity for you, and it is also one of the rewards for acting with me."
"Next, we're going to explore the underground ruins, you're going to be dangerous, be prepared."
Sophia's words fell, and in an instant, a prompt sounded in Su Fan's ears-
[Hint: You triggered the Adventure-level story event Candace's Lost Civilization]
It's actually an adventure level........ Su Fan's eyes widened, and he realized that the reason why Sophia gave the identity badge was that this event was not an elite-level, but a higher-level, adventure-level plot event than it!
Adventure!
The most advanced event that players can access in the early stages!
