Volume 1 Dragon's Breath Chapter 22 Black Hawk Tavern
until the afternoon.
Yue Xiaobai stepped into the Adventurer's Guild.
The female waiter looked up and saw that it was him, and smiled lightly: "Xiaobai, this time you came to release the task again?"
Yue Xiaobai nodded: "Sister Orange, I'll come over and post a task to collect seedlings of the fragrant perch tree." ”
"Perch?" said Orange frowned. This is not an easy task, the perched tree is a very rare plant, but it is also very dangerous.
Usually found in the mountains where people rarely live, the incense tree has a pleasant fragrance all year round, attracting creatures to approach, but it is also extremely deadly.
"The Incense Tree Danger difficulty is assessed as C, and the task of collecting seedlings is assessed as C, and you need to pay 105 gold coins. ”
5 gold coins are a handling fee, and 100 gold coins are a reward for C-level missions. Adventurers who complete the quest can receive 80 gold coins, and the remaining 20% goes to the adventurer's guild.
"But Xiaobai, my sister wants to remind you that in addition to the precious value of its flowers, the Xiangqi tree is harmful and useless in other places, and the Xiangqi tree rarely blooms. ”
"On the other hand, the fragrant tree lives in the deep mountains where people are rarely visited, and it is extremely difficult to find, and this task is not easy to take. ”
"I understand, Sister Orange, don't worry, I'm useful. ”
"By the way, you can help me mark it, and the reward for the task will be doubled. Later, Eagle Wulazy will send 205 gold coins. ”
......
Out of the Adventurer's Guild, Yue Xiaobai's fingers were placed on the temples on both sides and kneaded them a few times.
It was a little better in the early morning, but after that time, the mental power was active again. Bursts of sharp pain have been with him for a day.
At the same time, Yue Xiaobai could clearly feel that his spiritual power was constantly growing, and his physique was also continuing to weaken.
Before leaving the academy, he had looked at the character attributes. That's why I went straight to the Adventurer's Guild.
Player Name: Yue Xiaobai
Strength: 2.9 (unranked)
Constitution: 3.8 (Black Iron Beginner)
Dexterity: 5.7 (Black Iron Advanced)
Spirit: 12.5 (Silver Advanced)
Dark Element: 471
Legendary: 0
Task list: None
......
That's right, he's now out of the Black Iron Rank.
This is the consequence of the awakening of mental power, but this is just the beginning.
Now that the body and spirit are out of balance, according to the speed at which the spiritual power is absorbed at this time, no matter how much you exercise your physique, you can't restrain its growth and greed.
It is estimated that it will last until the same as when he was on Earth, and when his physical fitness is seriously lower than that of ordinary people, his spiritual power will stop absorbing.
In addition to insisting on exercising can enhance his physique, practicing some secret techniques and taking some expensive potions can also enhance his physique, but the latter two are not suitable for him to use now.
There are many secret techniques that can be cultivated, so as to increase the attributes of the three measurements, Yue Xiaobai has mastered at least four or more secret techniques, but he can only watch and cannot cultivate.
He was only nine years old now, and his body had not yet grown, and cultivating the secret art would not only limit his growth space, but also cause a lot of damage to his foundation.
The normal age for the practice of occult art is after the age of sixteen, and at least until the age of fourteen.
And the physique elixir, not to mention its expensive price, it is also not available at the age of nine years old.
For Yue Xiaobai, taking the potion now, the consequences are not much different from cultivating the secret arts. But can't you just watch it like this, waiting for his mental power to hollow out his body little by little?
Yue Xiaobai thought for a day, and the fragrant perch tree might be a way.
The fragrance of the perched tree attracts creatures to it, and its food is the spiritual power of these creatures.
Some of the lucky hunters, who live on the incense trees, will use tools from afar to drag out the dead creatures under the trees and sell them.
These hunters would go to the incense tree every few days to pick up corpses, and when they were lucky, they could harvest three or five silver-rank creatures at a time.
Yue Xiaobai wanted to try it and use his spiritual power to feed the Xiangqi tree.
......
There are thirteen councillors in Longxi Town, and each of these councillors has no weak power. In addition to that, they all have their own industries in the town.
Thirteen councillors, each with more than a few hundred years of experience in the town, have long since taken root in the land. Generations have grown, survived, and made an impact here.
They did not obey the laws of the kingdom, and again and again they defeated the armies sent by the kingdom to fight against them. In the end, the royal family of Gerocanay had to compromise and randomly installed a nominal mayor here to cover up the face of the royal family.
The gladiatorial arena of the Moses family, the auction house of the Yan He family, the treatment center of the Yuan family, the animal pen of the Jie family, and the intelligence agency of the Big Mouth family......
The thirteen councillors of Longxi Town, their influence covers the entire town, and they also monopolize everything related to them, and outsiders can't get into it.
......
There is only one tavern in the entire town, and that is the Black Eagle Tavern of Yue Xiaobai's family. Over the years, it's not like no one has tried to reach here, but they've all failed without exception.
A few decades ago, some elves opened a treehouse tavern in town. As a result, before the third day, all the elves in the tavern were missing.
There wasn't even a single piece of wood left in the treehouse tavern.
For hundreds of years, the thirteen legislators have been intertwined, their interests coexist, and they have become a whole, both externally and internally.
It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for any foreign forces, including the army of the kingdom, to set foot here.
Located in the centre of town, the Black Hawk Tavern is divided into two floors and offers two different types of consumption. There are many rooms in the backyard for guests to stay in addition to their own lives.
The tavern is mixed, different from the quiet and elegant on the second floor, and the first floor seems chaotic and lively.
There are adventurers coming and going, hunters preparing to enter the mountains, caravans coming to Longxi to do business, and even some wanted criminals in the kingdom.
After all, Dragon's Breath is the very edge of the kingdom, a place outside the law, where they can hide.
......
Crippled hunter, he sits at the counter concocting spirits. His calloused palms, which used to hold a sharp sword, are now skillful and sophisticated in his bartending.
Apprentices holding bundles of beer, skillfully avoiding guests in the way. Occasionally passing by a drunken man, they would put on a disapproving expression.
A couple of hot girls walk through the pub with beer and food. From time to time, I was slapped on the buttocks by a black hand that came out of nowhere*, and the girl was disgusted.
Some of the big men who got their hands on it whistled.
Merchants are talking to each other, adventurers are shouting incessantly, and some are sitting alone on the edge vigilantly and indifferently.
The highlight is the impromptu performance of a bard from afar.
The facial expressions of these people constitute a lively and harmonious picture.
This is the Black Hawk Tavern.
Every year, many people enter the Dragon's Breath Mountains from here, some of them harvest a lot, and some of them never come back.
