"Townsend Town" is a mining town.

Most of the town's inhabitants depend on the Burial Hill Iron Mine for their survival, and it is surrounded by a wall more than ten meters high.

The houses are all stone-built with mud-red triangular roofs.

Ji Xun tested the grenade, and after verifying the rules of the space, he didn't delay much outside the town and walked towards the city gate.

At the door, a white-bearded old man and a few militiamen are greeting these "bounty hunters" from afar.

The information provided by the Black Wolf Hunters says that this old man is Mayor Barn.

When entering the city, hunters sign their names on the employment contract.

Then Enlightenment will appear with a "Accept Hire" quest prompt.

It's probably the same as signing an employment certificate.

After hunting the werewolf in this way, you can use the werewolf's claws to get some additional rewards of gold and silver coins, ores, etc.

A table was set up at the gate, and the hunters scrambled to sign their names and rushed into the town.

When Ji Xun came, most people couldn't wait to go into the city to find an opportunity.

But he looked at the dense collection of names on the parchment and suddenly thought of a question.

What happens if I don't sign it?

Theoretically, if you don't sign, you won't get the mayor's reward, and you may end up losing tens of thousands of dollars worth of rewards.

But Ji Xun didn't come to make money.

I didn't expect a C-level cataclysmic space to reward anything good.

Ji Xun thought together: "Enlightenment doesn't seem to say that you can't go out without signing an employment contract, right?" ”

I looked at the Enlightenment display again.

The conditions for going out were confirmed: hunt a werewolf.

There are no other strings attached.

He had read the information before, the C-level dungeon werewolves would not go berserk, and the strength was about four or five high-level card master apprentices who could join forces to kill them.

This level of threat is not a big problem for Ji Xun's current strength.

And there are a lot of werewolves, so it's very simple to just want to pass the level.

Since everyone has chosen to sign a contract, then try something different?

Anyway, the C-level difficulty is to familiarize yourself with the plot.

If you don't try it at this time, it will be even more difficult to do so.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun walked to the table, picked up the quill, and made two random gestures.

The NPCs didn't find out if there was an extra one or one less in the dense names of people.

There was no signature, and no enlightenment appeared.

Ji Xun blended into the town like this.

The plot of this [Greedy Mine] space seems simple.

It was the werewolves who attacked the town, and the inhabitants paid for the witchers to hunt the werewolves.

A plot with cause and effect.

But there's a lot of other information lurking inside.

Like, why are werewolves here? What happened in the cave of the Burial Mountain?

Ji Xun was walking and thinking about problems in his head.

The breaking point of the story mode must be in the plot.

Hunting a werewolf is just a basic requirement.

If you want to have a high level of clearance, digging deep into the "Truth of Mine Mutation" is the right direction.

Therefore, the plot exploration has to work hard from the residents of Townsend Town.

But this extradimensional space has been explored many times, that is, all the ordinary information that the residents of the town have should have been explored.

But those pieces of information still failed to make the Black Wolf Regiment achieve a high evaluation of the clearance.

So if you want to find a breakthrough, you may have to find something that is different from other people's thinking.

The exploration time is a total of three days,

Ji Xun is not in a hurry.

He walked on the crushed ore paved streets, watching the townspeople come and go, thoughtfully.

There are vendors selling fruits and vegetables on the streets

Ji Xun walked over and asked a few questions tentatively.

For example: how much is an apple, what is the king's name, is there a magician or witch in the city, what is wrong with the mine.

The answers were: Five Copper Coins, Your Majesty Aoun, I heard the bard say yes, and you can ask Mayor Barne about this question.

Completely logical answer.

It's like a whole world.

This is also the most amazing place for Ji Xun.

The spell masters seem to have grown accustomed to it.

But for Ji Xun, a traverser, this was even more surprising to him than the alien space itself.

It's like he's traveled through time again, and he's come to a magical town in the Middle Ages in Europe, where magic, werewolves, and witches come in.

These NPCs are exactly the same as living people, with flesh and blood, warmth, and emotional intelligence.

It's like a corner of a whole world.

But if it weren't for every hunter entering, the plot of this Townsend town would be repeated.

Ji Xun must have thought that this was a real world.

Every time the people who come are different and do different things, it will lead to different spatial plot development.

This is also the reason why the main plot remains the same, but many of the subplots are completely different.

"Different planes, or parallel space? Or a mirror world created by some high-latitude creatures? ”

Ji Xun didn't know how to make sense of the world he was seeing right now.

This kind of doubt, which is beyond his cognition, makes him feel more and more awe of the mysteries of the universe in his heart.

This kind of "extradimensional space" that transcends time and space is incomprehensible, but it is shocking in the heart.

Ji Xun walked on the street for a while, and the shock in his heart gradually dissipated.

He wasted no more time.

By this time, they had reached the center of Townsend.

There is a bell tower more than 30 meters high, which also looks like the tallest building in the town.

Ji Xun looked at no one around him, and jumped suddenly, and his super high agility and strength allowed him to climb to the bell tower with a little bit of strength on the rock outside the bell tower.

The view widened all at once.

Ji Xun overlooked the entire town and wrote down the general layout of the building.

Coming to a strange place and observing the environment is a habit he has developed.

Scanning the street, Ji Xun quickly spotted some of his peers.

The hunters' outfits have been changed by the rules of the space, and the NPCs don't see anything out of the ordinary.

But Ji Xun, who is also a hunter, can tell it at a glance.

The hunters who had come in before were now making their fortunes around the town.

It is said in the intelligence that most of the things in the houses of urban residents are plot items and cannot be taken out.

But there are some rare items that can be taken out of the outer dimension.

The hunters were frantically scraping at the stuff.

Saying that it is "witchers" is more like a group of robbers coming in.

Anyway, after only three days, the hunters used it as a carnival for plundering.

Moreover, most of the residents here are ordinary people, and they don't even have room to resist.

Not just plundering wealth, but also robbing sex.

The hunters of Innocence City are a group of guys who have no legal and moral constraints, and they are even more unscrupulous in the extradimensional space.

All acts that can vent desires are being staged.

You can find some good-looking women everywhere, and there are many in this Townsend town.

Ji Xun saw in the windows of several houses on the bell tower, and those hunters not only plundered, but also insulted the female owner by the way.

Seeing this scene, he didn't know what to think, and grinned: "Humanity"

This happens everywhere.

Ji Xun's gaze roamed around the town.

At this time, he saw the five members of the Black Wolf Regiment walking straight into the only tavern in the town, and their expressions were full of amusement.

This is the management of the Black Wolf Regiment platoon.

Say it's only five.

But Ji Xun knew that it should be seven.

There were a total of fifty hunters who had gathered together from the Windmill Tavern in Innless City, but a few didn't make it.

Ji Xun remembers everyone's outfit very clearly.

So apart from the five "Administrators", he was sure that two of the forty-five hunters who came in this time had never seen their outfits.

If it weren't for someone who joined the group, it would probably be the "plainclothes" of the Black Wolf Group.

So, why did the guys from the Black Wolf Regiment pretend to be hunters and sneak in?

Obviously, there are some shady things that are inconvenient to use the identity of the Black Wolf Regiment.

Ji Xun found out when he came in before.

But I don't think it matters.

Someone is doing something, which is exactly what he wants.

These guys should know how some hidden side quests are triggered.

What's more, Ji Xunben also felt that in such a well-earned extradimensional space, the Black Wolf Regiment was just collecting some tickets, which was not at all like the style of the hunters of the Innocence City with simple folk customs.

If there is no black and black routine in this wilderness, it is not normal.

But the space limits the rank of the entrants, and those administrators are only one order strongest.

Ji Xun also feels that the risk is under control.

All he had to do now was get some information as soon as possible and be prepared before those guys got into trouble.

As Ji Xun guessed.

The five Black Wolf Rangers walked into the tavern, and they made their way to the second floor of the tavern.

Closing the door, there were already two guys in hunter outfits waiting.

It was the two who Ji Xun felt that the outfit was unfamiliar.

"The head of the regiment said, let those guys clean up the werewolves on the first and second floors first. Tonight, let's get some aconitum grass and lure out the B-class calamity werewolf on the third floor of the mine, and let those scattered people drag it. We'll go in and see what's going on on the fourth floor."

"Captain, do we need to be in such a hurry? Still going in person? ”

"No, no. The head of the regiment speculated that there were too many low-difficulty entries in this space, and it might collapse. If you don't find a way to challenge the high difficulty, you may never have the opportunity to find such a good werewolf material in the future. It's a risk. ”

"You don't know how fierce the effect of the [4 of Spades - Werewolf] refined by the two pieces of silver material that came out before. Xiao He, the vice captain of the fourth team, is fusing that silver career card. has just fused, and the combat power after the transformation is close to the veteran first-order spell card master in the group. And the werewolf material is already much higher than the general Warcraft ceiling. Overall, there is at least a fifty percent difference in combat power between the increase of the Werewolf card and other beast walker cards of the same quality."

"Hiss so strong? It's a pity that silver materials are not easy to come out. ”

"Don't worry too much, we're just exploring the plot this time, not killing monsters. What's more, the head of the regiment went to the Thunder Tiger Regiment and borrowed the assassin's exclusive relic. We're going to the fourth floor, and the security is guaranteed. Be careful, it's not a big problem. I estimate that after the fourth floor, our clearance evaluation will be very high, and the probability of silver materials will be very high. ”

"But if the B-class calamity on the third floor of the mine is triggered, I'm afraid that a few people won't survive this time. If it spreads, I'm afraid the reputation of our group is not very good. ”

"Live? The head of the regiment means that no one will be left except for our people. ”

"Otherwise, do you think that the last two batches of people really encountered an accident that triggered the B-level difficulty, and the casualties were so serious? Hehe, as long as they are all dead, the things here will not spread. What's more, the higher the mortality rate, the higher the evaluation we have to clear the customs. ”

"Hmm."

"But then again, the last time Team Nine came in to hunt the B-class werewolf on the third floor, they all suffered heavy casualties, and the team didn't dare to organize a B-level challenge again. What happened when the A-level plot was triggered? ”

"Nobody knows. That time, three elite squads of our regiment came in, and all the people died, and the information did not come out. Only one outsider came out alive. He didn't see what was happening, only that an A-class Calamity-level werewolf had appeared in Townsend Town. Then he followed the scent and killed all the hunters. Later, after interrogation by the head of the regiment, it was discovered that the surviving guy entered the city in a panic and did not sign, so he luckily picked up a life. Otherwise, we wouldn't know how to get out of space alive."

"The combat power of werewolves is indeed terrifying, and the combat power of the same level is definitely among the top three in the Warcraft I have seen. B-level calamity can already be equivalent to the combat power of a second-order spell card master, if it is A-level, this kind of space that restricts the rank cannot be killed at all. You can only start from the plot side."

“.”

Townsend Town.

Just when a group of hunters were in full swing in search of treasure all over the city.

Ji Xun is teasing children with candy on the street.

"Kid, want to eat sugar mom?"

"Yes."

"Where's Mom?"

"Mom is dead."

"How did Mom die?"

"Died of the plague."

“.”

"Still craving sugar?"

"Yes, but the mayor's grandfather won't let you talk to outsiders."

"Ah, enough is enough, I can't fit it."

"I whispered to you that you could ask Jack, the drunkard of the town, who was the most well-informed. He can be found at the town's big windmills. ”

“.”

NPCs in the outer dimension are intelligent.

Except for certain messages that are beyond the knowledge of this world, which cannot be seen or heard, they are completely indistinguishable from normal human thoughts.

In Ji Xun's eyes, this is the biggest breakthrough.

The inhabitants of the city have a fear and fear of outsiders, and they are obviously secretive when it comes to certain topics.

But the kids don't.

Ji Xun asked a few more questions, and he knew that there seemed to be a plague in Townsend a year ago, and many people died.

This is not in the information.

The people of the Black Wolf Regiment have come so many times, they must know.

But they didn't include that key information in the information they sold.

Because this may be the key to breaking the plot of "Greedy Mine".

Ji Xun suspected that the plague might be somehow related to the appearance of werewolves.

Obviously, the plague is better.

Ji Xun wanted to ask who cured this plague, but many people avoided talking about it.

From the mouths of the children, they learned that it seemed that a passing "witch" had cured the plague, and that the lord's Baron Rose had sent a team of brightly armored knights.

But these are headless clues.

Ji Xun roughly sorted out the timeline of the story in his mind.

There was a plague in the town, witches and knights came, the plague was over, the werewolves appeared, and they came.

These events are like scattered beads, but there is a key thread of cause and effect missing behind them to connect them.

There is one more important clue.

The children said that there were terrible monsters in the cave of the burial mountain.

This is also where the mission of "Investigating the Truth of the Mine Change" points to in Enlightenment.

Ji Xun didn't plan to rush to the mine where the monsters were gathered.

He was going to ask about the situation first.

The townspeople are wise, and the bandit behavior of the new "witchers" spread throughout the city in a short time.

Probably because the witchers came to help hunt the werewolves, and the mayor of the town also suppressed the anger of the residents, so there was no big trouble.

But as soon as the news spread, it was impossible to ask any more questions from the residents.

Everyone will hide when they see strangely dressed strangers.

Forced questioning may also lead to some information.

But Ji Xun felt that this method might trigger a special plot or trigger a spatial mechanism.

And definitely a bad direction.

After all, the intelligence was sternly warned that you should not kill the townspeople casually, otherwise you might be driven out of Townsend Town.

Probably someone tried it before.

At that time, without the shelter of the town, it will be difficult for everyone to survive for three days in the wilderness.

Ji Xun also helpless the stupid and greedy behavior of those "companions", which almost ruined the possibility of triggering all valuable plot branches.

But he also thought of another way.

Since it is a wise NPC, it must also be human greed.

Relying on lock-picking techniques, he visited several houses and got a large bag of coins.

These gold coins that can't be taken out of space are useless to other hunters, but they are very good tools in Ji Xun's hands.

He finds "Jack the Drunk".

With this huge amount of money, another key clue was asked: "For information about the mines, you can find Uncle Sam in the blacksmith's shop, who not only can help you plate your weapons with silver, but is also the only person who has been to the depths of the mines before and survived until now. Oh, don't say it's mine. After all, this topic is taboo in Townsend."

And at the same time, Ji Xun also asked for an interesting piece of information.

The drunkard Jack knew he was an adventurer from somewhere else.

But he didn't even think of him as a "witcher"!

Ji Xun also guessed that this might be related to the contract signed at the city gate before.

After signing the contract, the space is blessed with the identity of a "witcher".

Walking along the creek in Towntown, Ji Xun saw a blacksmith's workshop with exhaust fumes suddenly bubbling from the chimney.

It was written in the information that hunters with firearms could come here and ask the owner of the workshop to help gild the bullets.

Silver-plated bullets deal burn damage to werewolves.

Ji Xun didn't come in a hurry before, because he didn't think it was too necessary.

The process of silver plating is not complicated, he can do it himself.

As soon as I walked over, I happened to meet two peers.

The two of them walked out of the blacksmith shop scolding.

"! I wasted so much of a day in vain, and I thought I could find out something. That damn intelligence dealer, when you go back to Innocence City, you must settle accounts with him! He also said that he sold top-secret information, saying that the owner of the blacksmith shop had been to the fourth floor of the mine. As a result, nothing was asked. ”

"I've told you everything, we can think of looking for clues, and the people who came in before must have thought about it a long time ago. You just don't believe it's okay. I didn't grab anything, at least tens of thousands of dollars were lost. In the next few days, if you want to get back to your roots, you can only take the risk of going to the mine to hunt werewolves. ”

“.”

Ji Xun listened to the conversation between the two who were getting farther and farther away, and his expression was slightly different.

He wasn't surprised that someone knew that the blacksmith might have a clue, after all, he had brushed so many times.

But the intelligence merchant of Innocence City is so powerful?

Do you know all this kind of intelligence?

Sure enough, after exploring the dungeon many times, the secrets became less and less.

But since the intelligence merchants all said so, Ji Xun felt that the blacksmith shop owner was very important.

I didn't ask it, and it was most likely that the conversation was not in the right way.
