Chapter 151 Return, the sound of hooves in the forest
During the period when I was trying to master the insight into the watch world and the source world, in order to ensure that I could concentrate without being disturbed by the outside world, old Carlson used his unique ability to play a trick: he tried to put me in a situation involving The so-called "offline status" of the emptyers means that during this period, the status of my name on my friends' communication list is gray. In their view, I had left this world during that time and went to another world. In this state, I can neither receive the messages they send me nor proactively contact them.
Although I didn't feel anything unusual, according to old Carlson, this is a magical effect that requires an extremely profound understanding of the origin of the world and very careful operations to achieve it. In addition, he must also have a deep understanding of life. A very thorough understanding, and then transcending it, partially severing my body and soul and the very essence of existence in this world. Before he told me, I had not realized that during the time I sat writhing in agony in the little room at the top of the ruined spire, I was in an extraordinarily mysterious state. According to him, at that time, I ¡°neither could be said to be a truly living being, nor did I fall into death; neither did I survive in the world in a complete life form, nor did I completely free my soul from the shackles of the body; In this world, I have disappeared from this world at the same time. The gods cannot interfere with my life, and the world cannot perceive my existence." During that time, I was almost in a "complete semi-free state." among.
The moment I stepped out of the fortress gate, this magical "offline state" was automatically lifted. This means that my name is bright again on the communication list of my space traveler friends, and at the same time, the communication column of my adventure notes is immediately filled with messages from them during this period. :
"Jeff, I just got a bottle of 'carrion flower juice'. I don't know what it is used for. Maybe you can use it. M me online and I will send it to you" This is what Xian Geyayi sent to me. of. Ever since he learned that my alchemy can synthesize magic crystals from different materials, he would send weird things to me whenever he found them.
"Brother, do you still have 'Aqua Stardust'? The fairy wants to inlay a weapon and urgently needs this magic crystal." This was sent by Niu Wanwan. Only he would put the name of the elf druid fairy on the ground on her face. Nasty abbreviation to the word "fairy".
"Dead man, why haven't you been online for so long? Why don't you hurry up and get here! Don't think that by hiding from me you can delay paying back the money you owe the guild. You still owe the guild hardware, twelve silver, sixty-eight coppers and one obsidian fine gold. Eight pieces of gray frost stone, six parts of volatile gray lime ash, three pieces of evening primrose, two pinches of chicken feathers, nine parts of slug dung" Uh I received a text message from our respected president, Lady Fei Yin, and I expressed great pressure. !
"You lazy fool, you haven't shown up for so long, are you planning to become a eunuch? If you don't update, I'll drag you out and play cock until you die!" Hey, who is this guy named "Reader"?
"Reputable gold group, quality power leveling, a century-old store, you are guaranteed to be satisfied. The lowest price in the whole server, pay first, then receive the goods, a copy is included, and the equipment is included. If you are interested, please contact q360q: xxxxxxx, nsm: xxxxxx, email: xxxxxx" Can anyone tell me what he is talking about?
"Certificate: 138144xxxx" Where did these inexplicable guys get my contact information?
¡¡
The nine pages full of all kinds of messages made me dizzy. Not to mention replying to them one by one, just deleting them one by one made my hands sore. What's even more devastating is that my sudden "online" after a long absence immediately aroused the social enthusiasm of many friends. Many people immediately came from different corners of the world with different tones and different texts. They sent me greetings, and the saddest part is that after I replied to these greetings one by one, they would reply to me enthusiastically one by one, making the information in my address book more and more expensive for a long time. The more I delete, the more I feel sad every time I see a notification showing a new message coming in - you know, sometimes your friends being too enthusiastic is actually an embarrassing torture.
After more than two hours of hard work, I finally deleted this overwhelming amount of information to the last page. Just when I was about to clear them completely, suddenly, the latest message listed at the bottom of the address book caught my eye.
That is a new message just sent by the half-orc shadow thief Yangjia, which reads: "We are going to the Xionzekral Mountains to capture mounts, hurry up!"
This highly constructive proposal immediately attracted me - of course, if you have just spent more than two hours deleting hundreds of messages, you will definitely feel that any proposal made by anyone is very constructive.attractive.
Following the map marks, I arrived at the foot of the Onzekral Mountains as quickly as possible, and found my friends who had arrived before me at the Alliance Riding Training Ground here. Accompanying the Yangtze River Delta are the elven lovers Xian Ge Yayi and Yan Zhen, the dwarf priest Longbow Sheri and our president, Miss Fei Yin.
"Wow, you are an unorganized and undisciplined guy who still knows how to show up!" As soon as she saw me, President Fei Yin gritted her teeth and said, "When you are not needed, you seem to be offline at any time 24 hours a day. I can see you, and when I needed you, you slipped away for more than half a month without even saying hello. As a result, we couldn't even find a competent mt when we downloaded the dungeon. You know what happened to the pirates of Haider Port last time? How many times have the dungeon group been wiped out? Seven times, and they haven¡¯t been defeated in seven times! This loss must be recorded on your head!"
Long Gong Sheri's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he licked his face and interjected flatteringly: "Hey, President, since he is in charge, then I don't have any responsibility for this matter?"
Fei Yin suddenly fell into a state of rage. She grabbed the dwarf priest by the neck, picked him up and slammed him against the wall: "You still have the nerve to say it! If you hadn't volunteered to be the MT, we would have been wiped out." How many times?"
"Have mercy on me, I've done my best to attract monsters!" Longbow Shooting Sun screamed sadly.
"Yeah, you almost lured out all the monsters in the dungeon, but even a police dog standing guard at the door couldn't stop it!" The Yangtze River Delta seemed to be suffering from it.
"I have tried my best to hold them back, at least I am in good spirits. Oops, please spare my life" I just discovered that the dwarf can stick out his tongue so long after being strangled by the neck.
"What a shame! You couldn't drag them out even though you tried your best. It's just because of your limited ability!" Xian Ge Yayi also stood aside and added fuel to the fire.
Seeing that the long bow shooting the sun had been choked to the point of being choked with air, Fei Yin threw him back to the ground unwillingly. When our dwarf priest stood up again, I didn't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that he seemed to be a little taller than before - well, maybe it was just because his neck was longer
¡¡
After finally ending this full of exploitation and humiliation - er, I mean warm and friendly - reunion with the president, we found the riding trainer standing next to the stables and officially started the process outside the door. A journey to capture the mount.
In fact, when an adventurer reaches level 50, he is already qualified to receive riding training at the riding training ground at the foot of Wenzekral Mountain. After the training is completed, you can immediately spend two hundred gold coins from here. Purchase an ordinary war horse as your mount, and riding it will increase your movement speed on flat ground by 25% - for those adventurers who need to travel long distances and spend a lot of time on the road, this is A mount is undoubtedly a weapon for them to shorten their journey and save time.
However, in fact, not many people would choose this kind of ordinary mount for transportation. You know, in the Onzekral Mountains, there are a large number of wild animals that can be used as mounts. These mounts can not only increase your movement speed, but are also born with various mount skills. Much better than a normal mount. However, these violent wild animals are often difficult to tame. Generally speaking, the higher your level, the greater your chances of taming. Moreover, each person can only own one mount. When you capture a new mount, you must abandon the original mount. In this case, the vast majority of people will choose to capture a satisfactory mount by themselves when they are close to level 60, instead of spending a large amount of money to buy a horse that will be discarded in a short time. Ordinary war horse.
?This all sounds simple, but in fact it is not. You know, only the taming reins with magical abilities sold in this riding training ground can successfully capture and tame the wild mounts on the mountain, and each capture consumes a rein - regardless of whether you succeed or not. According to the amount of magic power contained, these reins are divided into three types: cyan, yellow and red. Even the cheapest cyan reins cost ten gold coins, while the yellow reins are worth thirty gold coins and contain the most magic power. The red reins, which have the best taming effect, cost as much as fifty gold coins each - in the words of our cynical president: two silver coins can buy a large bundle of broken straw ropes. Simply dye it and enchant it. The cost price is not even one gold coin, but you can actually buy fifty gold coins. "Huge profits" is no longer enough to describe this heinous commercial exploitation. This is blatant. Steal money from players' pockets!
Complaints are complaints, but Fei Yin bought more than fifty red animal taming reins in one go. We are all curious about how this hard-earned iron hen could be so extravagant this time.We spent a lot of money, but she raised her eyebrows and lectured us mysteriously:
"You guys know nothing. This thing costs fifty gold a piece. How many people are willing to buy a few more pieces at a time? Are they all like you who buy three or five pieces at a time and happily run up the mountain? But you Do the math yourself. An ordinary mount costs 200 gold. How can the price of capturing such a wild mount be lower than that of an ordinary mount? Even if it is calculated at 300 gold per head, at least six reins are needed. So it is easy for us to guess. Got it, there are definitely a lot of idiots on the mountain who don¡¯t bring enough reins. We all know that the further in, the higher the level of the monster, then similarly, the level of the mount must also be higher, and most importantly, the further in, the higher the level of the monster. , the higher the level of the players, the richer they are. Think about it for yourself, this group of rich Yang Hu went into the deep mountains and old forests, and finally found a suitable mount, but in the end they ran out of reins. What do you think? Are they willing to run a fifteen-minute mountain road back and spend fifty gold to buy a rein, or are they willing to spend seventy or eighty gold to buy a rein nearby for emergency use?"
After listening to Fei Yin¡¯s business experience, these money-minded guys immediately went to the trainer¡¯s side with smiles on their faces, and each of them took out the last steel coins on their bodies and bought a lot of animal taming reins to stock up. As a warrior with high ambitions and a resolute character, I have an inherent moral aversion to this kind of speculation and the behavior of buying low and selling high. Naturally, I will not be as useless as these wretched guys - so I bought it in one go. With more than 100 roots, they have drawn a clear line from their informal small-scale operation and are striving to move towards a formal large-scale industrialized operation.
Now I am only at level fifty-four, and my friends are almost the same as me. Under normal circumstances, according to our current level, we may only be able to catch a spotted moose or a wild woodland horse as a mount in the first valley at the entrance of the Xionzekral Mountains. At most, Just catch a giant humpback wolf with a one-time attack skill "jump". But after a collective change of clothes, we are not interested in these ordinary riding beasts at all, because we are fully capable of exploring this mountain range more deeply and going to the more inaccessible forest corners to find better mounts. Facts have proved that the collective action of six people cannot improve our efficiency in capturing riding beasts, because each of us wants different riding beasts, and the environments they inhabit are also very different - more importantly, President Fei Yin discovered Together we have actually significantly reduced the sales - er, I mean distribution - channels through which the reins are peddled. So, we decided to disband where we were and wait until we captured a satisfactory mount¡ªand of course, sold off all the hoarded reins¡ªbefore reuniting.
Fei Yin explored the northwest direction alone. Xian Ge Yayi, an uninformed fellow, naturally accompanied the wild geese all the way to the northeast. Longbow Shooting Sun and Yangtze River Delta went east and north, leaving me alone. Heading southwest, step by step towards the depths of the dense forest in front of you.
I have to say that the president¡¯s business strategy is extremely wise. In less than ten minutes, I sold more than twenty golden reins. Most of the people who hang out here are advanced players close to level 60. Most of these leveling madmen are full of enthusiasm and not very short of money. After finally finding a satisfied riding beast, they will be reluctant to leave it and it will be difficult to let go. Once the reins are used up, You will inevitably worry about gains and losses. You want to run all the way back and buy a few reins for emergency relief, but you are also afraid that you will never find the horse again once you leave. It feels like being in front of a beautiful woman but unable to talk to her wife (Xian Ge) Elegant and Italian language), overeating and indigestion due to delicious food (Yangtze River Delta language), going out on the street the day before payday and finding a huge sale in the supermarket (Fei Yin language), squatting in the toilet and having a big pee and then realizing that he was shocked Not bringing toilet paper (longbow shooting in Japanese) is also very painful and painful. If you can give him a rein at this time, I'm afraid that even if the price is a hundred gold coins, someone will impulsively pay the bill.
Of course, as a warrior with high moral integrity and a willingness to help others, I will never ask for such exorbitant prices to make ill-gotten gains when others are in such distress - so I operate the business with integrity. Only ninety-nine gold coins are sold each.
Although the business of reselling reins is good, it is regrettable that I have never been able to find a riding beast that can make my heart beat - not because they are not fierce and strong enough, in fact, regardless of their "toughness" and "collision" The broad-backed bear with dual skills, the sharp-toothed tiger that can "cross", or the northwest panther that can "climb" and "sprint" are all very good mounts - but for some reason, when I see these beasts Sometimes, although I will praise and admire, when someone successfully captures one, I will even feel a little bit of envy and jealousy, but whenever I have the opportunity to capture them, I can never mention what I want to possess. desire.
Sometimes in life it is true, I?Maybe we don¡¯t clearly know what we want, but we can clearly understand what we don¡¯t want. Yes, those are good, but they don't belong to me.
In this way, I wandered aimlessly in the dense mountain forests. From time to time I was attracted by the roars of some wild beasts, or I tried to broker a deal, but then left again, looking for a beast I had never seen before and unknown to me. It looks like a beautiful beast that I vaguely believe will inevitably appear in my heart. Just when I don¡¯t know how long I will keep walking like this
"ßÔßÔ" A high-pitched roar suddenly came from the front, followed by a crisp sound of hoofbeats. The sound of hoofbeats was as clear as a newly polished sword, hiding some kind of pride. Sharp, as if ready to raise a ray of cold light in my ears at any time. I had never thought before that the footsteps of an animal could be so majestic and elegant, making people want to treat it as a highly intelligent being.
I slowed down my pace, gently pushed aside the tree branches in front of me, followed the frightening sound of hooves, and walked deeper into the jungle
