Chapter 732 Two men outside the gate
The climate in Tumis is much warmer than the Dragon Coast, but it is limited to the plains. Fang Yi estimates that the location of the Ironto Fort should be 2,000 meters above sea level, and snow can be seen in many places, so it is really cool without a coat.
Like the screenshots and videos on the forum, there was indeed a layer of blue-black dark clouds floating above the Iron Tooth Castle, with lightning flashing. There were frequent thunderstorms here, and I don’t know if it was related to the rich mineral resources.
Because of its unique geographical location, many of the players who come to Tieto Castle are from novice villages in low-altitude areas, and there are also many professional miners. In order not to be too eye-catching, Fang Yi covered most of his body with a jacket, took off his windproof glasses, and set the mask to hide, which is completely different from the master who rode a dragon and killed monsters before.
"Look at it! The freshly baked high-quality silver ore is 10% lower than the auction house! There will be no store after passing this village!"
"A large number of black iron ore is for sale! One group of ten yuan and 50 gold coins! More than five groups of 46 gold coins!"
...
As soon as I entered the city gate, all kinds of shouts came to my face, and a stream of heat came towards me along with the noisy hawking. There were several giant iron furnaces in this Iron Tooth Castle, which not only smelted iron and kept warm, killing two birds with one stone, and it was just two worlds outside.
Fang Yi did not stop at the stalls at the door, but walked straight to the gate of the auction house with more complete goods.
...
“Keyword search: Soul Rose. Search results: 0.”
“…Search: Soul. Search results: Soul dust, dark soul glue…”
"...Search: Rose. Search results: Flaming red roses (1666 gold coins in one price). Shemale rose petals (6666 gold coins in one price)"
"Damn, what's this all..." Fang Yi looked at the auction house's search results list. The corners of his mouth immediately drooped.
Although it is only a mountain separated by a mountain, the mineral output on the southern foot of the Oslam Mountains is more than ten times that of the north. Fang Yi originally hoped to find clues at the auction house here, but who would have thought that he would not even see anything that was involved.
Why do I receive all this strange and weird task that ordinary people can't see for eight lifetimes...
However, Fang Yi has long been used to it. Finding things usually tests the player's patience. Those players with impatient personalities usually throw away such tasks directly, which is a waste of time.
There was no other way. Fang Yi could only start strolling in the Ironto Fort and carefully collecting clues.
Because it was built through the mountains, there was no natural light source in the Iron Tooth Castle, and there were almost everywhere burning torches and charcoal basins. The majestic stone walls and stone houses had a unique fantasy smell against the backdrop of the fire.
Looking up to the top of your head, the arc-shaped dome has not been processed at all, it is a natural granite mountain. Fang Yi suddenly remembered the new Cantor city at the foot of the valley of Fear.
However, the size of the Iron Tooth Castle in front of me is smaller than that of Cantor, and it is not as empty as Cantor - countless mountain walls rise from the ground and reach the dome, with stone holes and windowsills densely covered with stone holes and windowsills, which seem to be the residence of the indigenous people in the city.
What surprised Fang Yi the most was that compared with other main cities I had seen before, the number of shops and stalls in Ironto Castle was outrageous. Looking around, the streets and alleys were almost all players selling various goods.
The special geographical location makes this place a veritable mining center.
Fang Yi probably went around, then went offline, and found the special area of Ironto Castle on the forum. He posted anonymously posting the acquisition of Soul Rose Ore.
Fang Yi, who was re-launched, thought for a moment, then walked through the busy market and headed straight to the lord's mansion in Ironto Fortress.
...
The current lord of Ironto Fort is a dwarf warrior, Gasol. Ironto, whose level is unknown, is an NB figure who has lived for more than 300 years.
There is a legend on the forum that the Emperor of Tumis has repeatedly ordered and forced Gasol to abdicate and give way to the wise on the grounds of being too old, but this dwarf warrior who has experienced countless life and death wars is not his boss at all, and he is doing it steadily here.
The small castle located at the deepest part of the Iron-Groove Castle is his city lord's mansion.
At this time, in front of the towering metal gate of the castle, a thin figure was arguing with the guards at the door.
"My procedures are complete and the deposit has been paid. Why hasn't the store been approved yet? I want to see Lord Gasol!"
The person who talked to the dwarf guard was an elf ranger player, who was a little thin. At this time, this person was in a obviously bad mood. He was holding a few sheepskin scrolls in his hand and was anxiously talking to the dwarf guard.
The thin figure of the ranger forms a sharp contrast with the chubby and solid dwarf guards. The first feeling is that a bean sprout is throwing its temper at the potatoes, which looks inexplicably funny.
Fang Yi, who came to the gate of the city lord's mansion, also found these two contrasting figures. He also found it interesting. He couldn't help but take a look and then came to the guards at the gate.
"The city lord's mansion is forbidden, and entry and exit are strictly prohibited!" The dwarf guard in a helmet and armor immediately shouted, then pressed his hand very professionally on the hilt of the sword, staring at Fang Yi vigilantly.
"Please report all the Lord Gasol to the Misin Lord of Peach Blossom Island in the Falling Star Sea to ask for a visit," Fang Yi didn't care and said in a low voice with a smile.
The dwarf obviously had some hearing about the Peach Blossom Island, which was in the limelight recently, and his expression immediately became serious, "Yes, please wait." After saying that, he glanced at Fang Yi with a strange look, turned around and walked into the door.
Fang Yi didn't notice the dwarf's strange eyes. Seeing that the identity was effective, he was immediately happy and began to think about why he spoke to the lord after he went in for a while.
"Oh, buddy!"
Fang Yi was observing the metal gate in front of him with his hands behind his back, thinking about whether he would also change the cool facade for his lord's mansion, but he heard a voice coming from afar from his side. When he looked back, he found that it was the "bean sprout" who had just argued with the guards.
"Do you have a way to get into the city lord's mansion?" The thin elf ranger ran to Fang Yi in a few steps and asked with excitement.
"Uh... it's not certain, I will find out after the guard comes out."
While talking to the other party with a smile, Fang Yi quickly looked at the person up and down. The ranger in front of him was ordinary equipment, but his body was covered with dust, and a thick layer of wet mud was stained on the soles of the shoes. The most conspicuous one was the black and yellow backpack behind his waist, which made Fang Yi's gaze unable to help but stay on it for a few seconds.
A high-end miner's backpack! This is a rare product!
The miner's backpack is specially used to hold ore, and can only hold goods such as ore, gems, etc., but its capacity is half larger than the player's initial backpack. It also has the special attribute of reducing the weight of ore by percentage, which is the main basis for distinguishing between professional miners and amateur miners.
Fang Yixin said that if you read it correctly, the backpack behind this person should be the most advanced product at present - a high-end backpack that reduces the weight of ore by 20%. Whether it is a businessman or a deep mining cave, it is a first-class magical outfit!
He really can't behave like a bean sprout. He didn't expect to be a senior miner!
"Hehe, since you can let the guards come in and report, there will definitely be no problem~"
The Ranger player smiled, with bright smiles on his face, "I met my name, my name is Zhang Guo Lao, Iron Tooth Fort a senior mining dog~"
“Haha~”
Fang Yi was very happy to hear the other party's words. He had a good first impression of this old man Zhang Guo. He smiled and reached out to shake the other party, "My name is Cube, the gold medal killer of the Dragon Coast is me."
"Ha...well...what's the thing?"
The smile on Old Zhang Guo's face stopped and was replaced by surprise in the blink of an eye, "Block? Are you that Misilian Lord!?"
"It's like a fake one," Fang Yi laughed, still enjoying this sense of vanity that "everyone knows you".
"My lucky value today must be a bunker..."
Zhang Guo Lao hurriedly pulled his hand back, then looked Fang Yi up and down a few times, and said sincerely: "I said why did you feel like a kingly and domineering aura when you see you? It's really like a tiger and wolf aura overflowing, dragon and dragon spirits beside you, this body and face..."
"Stop! Stop,"
Fang Yi suddenly felt a little regretful about talking to this person, and quickly stopped the other party's flattery, otherwise the words "Yejiao Ten Women, and the Sun Poison Thousands of People" would pop out of the other party's mouth, "You'd better talk about the serious business first, and I'll go in later."
After Zhang Guo touched his head, he stopped talking to Fang Yi a little embarrassedly.
It turns out that Mr. Zhang Guo was born in a nearby novice village from beginning to end, and he stayed in Ironto Castle from beginning to end, mainly practicing two professional skills - mining and alchemy.
Although he is a lone player, fortunately, Mr. Zhang has perseverance and good luck. Both professional skills are considered the first tier in the game. Recently, Mr. Zhang has saved some money and earned from the game, so he is eager to prepare to rent a store in Iron-Tooth Castle.
As a gathering of life players, Iron-Tooth Fort has been quite mature in commercial operations. In order to take care of a large number of single-training players with no foundation and capital, a special rental service has been launched.
Players can rent specific stores at a much cheaper price than usual. If the profit is good, they can continue; if they lose money, they will give it to others. When the next opportunity to rent, Zhang Guo Lao is aiming at this opportunity.
However, good things have gone a long way, and there are quite a few players who want to rent a store. It was Zhang Guo's turn two days ago, but Zhang Guo's old man found that the rental procedures were stuck at the last step, so he came to the city lord's mansion to find the NPC theory that Tiedo Castle was responsible for.
But the City Lord’s Mansion cannot be entered just by wanting to enter, so the scene that Fang Yi saw before happened.
"This deposit can be refunded, but after working hard for so long, will I be in vain in all aspects of my efforts?"
Zhang Guo Lao looked tired and said weakly: "You also know that there is a shop and a stall. The difference between the two is too big. The latter is simply impossible to have the opportunity to grow bigger..."
