Chapter 43 Thorns Front(1/2)
"...O Xiujode, the hero's sword is reflected under the sky,
The blue dawn reflects, holding it in the palm of your hand, the blade is as bright as a beam of flame.”
Fang Yu turned around and looked at the poet standing in the woods, holding the Rutqin in his hand and smiling at his mouth. He could still hear someone telling the story of the dragon-slaying hero here, which really surprised him.
That is "Galapea", a heroic poem, and the name is taken from the holy sword of the fairy.
The poet patted the Rutchen and said to the audience around him with some pride: "You have not seen my performance in the previous battle. When facing those crystal monsters, I have a sharp sword and a war song, but I am no less than the hero Choujordson."
The audience burst into laughter. But it seems that this poet is really good at making a move. Although he boasted about himself, not many people came out to object. It seems that either this is true, or he is very popular among these people.
Fang Ling looked at the aboriginal people and the free-selected candidates, and in any aspect, it could illustrate the ability of this poet.
"When facing those crystal monsters, there are really people who stand up like heroes. I know a paladin who has seen it with his own eyes, and the other party killed a crab alone."
At this time, someone in the crowd spoke.
The crabs here, of course, refer to those composing crabs. Fang Zhu subconsciously thought they were talking about the big cat man, and couldn't help looking in that direction. But some people said:
"I know that person, he is a famous Maverick. But the other party seemed to have never appeared in this area before. It must have been a recent visit to Nognes?"
"Are you wrong? Kill the crab alone? According to our captain, that thing is over 30 levels. Although it is not a real large creature, isn't it that level? Which guild's senior convener will be so idle? Even the free convener will not come here to hang out, right?"
"This is what makes him so powerful. I heard that he is only in the twenty level."
Next, everyone started arguing with each other, and Fang Yu turned around and didn't want to listen anymore. However, he couldn't help but be suspicious. Could this kind of strong man who suddenly appeared in Nognes come for him, right?
His suspicion is not unreasonable. Such people who wander around the world are like X, and there is a great possibility that they are bounty hunters. What the bounty hunters are gathering in Nognes now is self-evident.
"Mr. Ed."
"Mr. Ed?"
Fang Zhu suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he came to his senses, he realized that it was a walnut underground.
Everyone was surrounding the edge of the woodland, watching the non-combat-oriented callers in the distance building a simple line of defense along the banks of the valley. Whenever they completed a section, the tall gray tree people would step forward and insert their hands into the soil, causing the shrubs there to grow wildly, forming a dense net of thorns before the trenches.
In fact, the conveners gave this line of defense a name, called the Thorn Front.
When Crystal began to attack this place, this line of defense that was across the river from the withered woodland in the distant valley was the first line to protect the Ashwood Forest.
"Nothing," Fang Yu shook his head, signaling the walnut underground to listen, "You continue."
The walnut from the ground looked at him and then continued: "As Miss Silvede and Mr. Reid speculated, most of the free-selected candidates who stayed here were non-combat-oriented, and most of them were professional miners, hired by several guilds in the south of Nognes to mine crystals."
"In addition, there are some logistics support personnel, such as alchemists, and the same situation is almost the same. After the Jingxi Beast began to invade the mining area, the combat members were almost completely destroyed, and these people were unable to break out and could only escape deeper. Unexpectedly, they were rescued and rescued by the people of the Ash Tree, so they stayed here."
"The remaining people are relatives and friends of these people, such as alchemists like Mr. Ed. If they are hired by local trade unions, they will most likely hire other people in the Seven Seas Brigade, which is like mercenaries."
Parker couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this, "There are such good things. Then I'll go find a group of people to follow me and then share the money with them?"
"Come on," Tianlan sneered, "If Brother Ed is like this, maybe someone else will accept it. But if you say that, you will consider it if you pay someone."
"Why, you look down on the King of the Nightingale?"
"The King of Nightingale is Ms. Papamo, what does it have to do with you?"
"I'm Ms. Papamo!"
Fang Rong had become accustomed to the kid's house-like disputes. He said to the walnut underground without changing his face: "Walnut, don't worry about them, continue."
The walnut underground nodded, "There are some people who came to the camp."
"Why, besides the Holy White Stone, Hydra and the Twilight Guild people, are there any free-chosen candidates coming here to the camp?"
"No," said the walnuts underground couldn't help laughing, "It was just that when they were attacked by the camp, someone found that there was Aimeya's resurrection point here, so they chose to resurrect below, but they were trapped in this place."
The callers in the adventures of Aitalia have always had a common sense that when choosing a resurrection point, even if the distance is farther, it is best to choose a resurrection point that you are more familiar with when allowed.
Because no one knows what will be outside the resurrection site, it may be an ambush, or even in an abandoned underground temple that can never be found again.
The floating continents of the First World have experienced at least three eras, from Sinthas to Noumeling, and from Noumeling to the modern era. In the tens of thousands of years of history, several wars have caused several changes in the continent. In countless ruins of former cities and temples are buried under the earth.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Those resurrection altars in the past may still be in operation today, but the temple inside is now only a piece of wall and ruins, and even a crisis is everywhere.
As the only five chances of resurrection, the conveners will of course make careful choices.
But not everyone will do this. Every year, countless such Madaha callers die twice because of random selection of resurrection sites. As a former community expert, Fang Yu has seen a lot.
For such a fool, he didn't know what to say except speechless.
But there is a resurrection point below, which means that Mun Yarit’s plan is indeed similar to what he expected-
"...But since many of the people who stayed here were staff members in the mining area at that time, they should be aware of the situation below before Jingxi Beast appeared?"
The walnuts under the ground nodded again.
"But I've heard a lot between these people, and they don't seem to know anything about the summoners with the 'breath of darkness'."
"So Brother Ed, could it be when the miners entered, and those people had already left?"
Fang Rong looked at the naturalist lady and was thinking about this possibility. But judging from the description in the log, the team of Boulkeso began to explore the crack at least more than five months ago.
After a while, he asked again: "Have any major guilds rotated the staff in the mining area on a large scale during this period?"
"How can that be, Brother Ed," Tianlan finally pulled away from the quarrel with Parker, shook his head and said: "This place is not as good as the real world. Most of the people who come here to mine are the candidates, and they have no need for rotation. Our guild... the miners of Iris are almost the same as robots."
"But the elder of Grayskin said that those people also appeared about half a year ago, but they definitely did not leave immediately after they came. Mr. Big Cat Man also said that the sharp reduction in the production of crystal veins in the Nognes area started about three months ago, which means that they have stayed here for at least several months, which means that unless they have other ways to leave, they will definitely have interactions with the people below."
Reed opened his mouth as he listened to the glutinous voice of the naturalist lady, and finally sighed as if he had accepted his fate. Even Jita learned bad things from these people. She would never use the title of Mr. Big Catman before.
"That is to say, the person we are looking for may be wrong," Fang Rong replied, "After all, there are not only such people in this heyday. It is indeed not realistic to find people who have seen or heard of those guys among the remaining people."
"What should we do next?" Tianlan asked, "Elder Grey Skin asked us to investigate the matters of those guys. Although I also suspected that those people must be our 'old acquaintances', there was no clue at the moment."
"The most hateful thing is that those tree people didn't even explain the rewards for this task clearly to us, which gave me no motivation at all." Parker kicked a stone out of the distance, kicked it into the river water in the distance, and made a gurgling sound.
Fang Zhu glanced at the Lion Man Paladin, "Let's take a step by step. If you have the chance, I'm actually quite concerned about what happened there."
But the premise is that he has the opportunity, he will not let the Qihai Brigade rashly send people to send them off.
And the walnuts brought back from the underground are far more than this news.
The reason why the callers are so active at the moment is that the people of the gray trees gave generous rewards. Under the sign of walnuts, the dates took out a leaf with emerald green light from under the cloak.
"What is this?"
"The Leaf of the Elder Tree," replied Walnut underground: "This is the reward given by the tree people, Mr. Ed, you should have heard of the magic potion, right?"
Fang Zhu nodded. The so-called wisdom potion is actually another name for empirical potion.
He not only heard of it, but also drank it. In fact, the members of the Seven Seas Brigade have used more or less experienced potions. On the one hand, when the Elfindo Parliament was stopped, the military supported some of them. Otherwise, Luo Hao, Tang Xin and others would not have been upgraded so quickly. However, theoretically, the three of them were originally military-organized, so it would not be considered a violation of regulations for the military to do so.
After that, after they made a fortune in Istaña, they acquired some in Questak, which averaged a wave of levels for the entire team. It can be said that the current level of the Seven Seas Brigade has all depended on these two experiences of "sweeping seedlings to grow".
However, although experience potions have some meaning of boosting growth, the positive benefits are almost always greater than the negative impact. Unfortunately, most of the experience potions on the market are disposable, and it is basically impossible to rely on this to increase the level directly.
The walnut underground took the leaf from the dates and said to everyone: "Mr. Ed, this is a kind of wisdom potion - according to the people of the Ash Tree, it can improve people's cognitive ability in a short time and gain experience and knowledge from the wisdom of the ancient trees."
"And each such leaf is fifty points of experience. The task offered by the Ash Tree Man is to clear the category. Each time he kills an out of order minion, he will reward three leaves of the elder; if he kills an out of order guard (constructed Cancer), he will reward thirty leaves of the elder; if he kills an out of order supervisor, he will reward two hundred and fifty leaves of the elder."
With fifty points of experience, Fang Rong thought that this experience was not much, it was considered a very basic type of experience potion. It was only suitable for newcomers at level one to three, but due to the large number of rewards, it would still be worth a lot of money if you sell it.
After all, there are not many newcomers entering Aitalia every year on Earth. Even if each person has one, there is not a small demand for this leaf. If the elder leaves are a specialty here, it may be sold better.
In addition, indigenous people can also use empirical agents.
"But what if I kill Crystal?"
Parker couldn't help but start talking nonsense again.
"If the crystal is killed, the reward is ten thousand leaves. In addition, it is said that the people of the tree have opened up a so-called mysterious reward called "???"."
"What else?"
"In addition," the walnut underground took a deep breath, "If someone gets a total of 100 leaves, as the recognition of the holy land, the Ash Tree People will sell them some specialties that are only available in the holy land."
"Wait," Fang Yu couldn't help but interrupt him, "Why would the tree man have divided it into several steps. When we get more leaves, they will still give us discounts, right?"
Although the underground walnut did not answer, he still looked at him with an unexpected look, meaning Mr. Ed, how did you know?
Tang Xin rolled her eyes slightly from the side, and finally couldn't help but speak, "...This Lord of Tree Heart is really interesting. It really hopes that the summoner can kill the ancient guardian 10,000 leaves, and the reward. It really understands the heart of the summoner. It's a pity that most people are afraid of not having the life to get this reward-"
"At least this sounds more real..." Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little amused, thinking that this Lord Tree Heart is not a little interesting, "... After all, it can't say it's okay. You are not that opponent at all, so just wait for death, right?"
"What sounds true is just to make people die." Tang Xin shook her head, not knowing why there are always so many idiots in this world.
But Fang Zhu had a different view from her, because even if no one deceived him, he could not stop the caller from committing suicide. They were always active in the most dangerous front lines, taking the chestnut from the fire and obtaining rewards that seemed trivial to others.
Because sometimes these people may not be for the rewards themselves, but just enjoying the process.
As one of the same kind of people, he probably understands something.
"Wait," but Tianlan discovered a blind spot at this time, "Walnut What do you mean by each leaf?"
The walnut from the ground turned to look at her, nodded and said, "...This is exactly what I want to say. This kind of leaf is different from other wisdom potions. Because it can be used repeatedly, experience will hardly decay, but it is very special - only people who have been recognized by the Heart of the Tree can eat this leaf."
The surroundings suddenly became terrible quiet.
Even Tang Xin turned around and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Although she was not optimistic about many of her stupid cousin's behavior, this did not mean that she did not understand the world.
In fact, on the contrary, in some details, she even needs to understand the world like a leopard.
Fang Zhu also opened his mouth - he originally thought that the tree man planned to use this kind of leaves as a general equivalent, so that adventurers could buy some materials or magical items of specialty products here by obtaining leaves and then consuming them.
