Abnormal paradise

The fish-man princess...

Yi Yan was stunned for a moment, recalling the virtual image he saw in the Fishman Palace, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have taken some things for granted.

"Although the murlocs were forced to abandon their undersea home due to the invasion of the ancient gods, they are not really far away from the desert. In fact, if the murloc king is willing, he can return to his homeland at any time, but he usually travels in a low-key manner, like The return of the entire clan with the sea has only happened once so far, and it is estimated that there will not be a second time in the future." The wise man smiled, "After all, humans are the masters of this world, and even if the Fishman King has legitimate reasons to be angry, he does If you go too far, you must be punished, and the root of all this has something to do with the conch."

Before he finished speaking, the wise man took out a radiant crystal ball from the gold box beside the table. He touched it gently with the conch fossil, and then the sound of waves surged out of the crystal ball. This sound and the embers The sound of the waves he heard when he was holding the fossil was the same. The next moment he saw the whole story through the crystal image, and this was obviously a tragic story with a doomed ending from the beginning——

The fish-man king has a little daughter that he loves very much. Although from the aesthetic point of view of the fish-men clan, this fish-man princess with thick eyebrows and big eyes may be called the beauty of the country, but from a human point of view, it is really a little... It's hard to compliment, but somehow, the fish-man princess moved her mortal heart. When she and the fish-man king disguised themselves and traveled across the sand sea to reminisce about their homeland, they fell in love with the son of the leader of the giant scorpion tribe.

Of course, generally in fairy tales, these people with extraordinary looks and high status all have a unified title - prince.

As the saying goes, the fish-man princess also knew her appearance and could not impress the giant scorpion prince, so she asked her father for a magical object of incarnation, transformed into a human and had a wonderful encounter with the giant scorpion prince. .

Unfortunately, happy life is always short-lived, and villains always appear on time when they least should appear.

The fish-man princess and the giant scorpion prince were both ready to talk about marriage, but a certain being who was proficient in witchcraft saw through the fish-man princess's disguise and immediately realized the potential value of the magical object. , tried to seize it by force, and this person was undoubtedly the first Three Insect Shaman.

The fishman king naturally would not leave his daughter alone, so when the fishman princess was in danger, she directly asked her father for help through the conch. The three insect shaman ran away immediately when he saw that the situation was not good, but this did not mean that she The plot failed completely, and at least half of the power of the incarnation of the strange object was transferred to the hands of the three insect shamans. However, the excessively rough capture method made the use of the incarnation of the strange object completely useless, which directly led to the appearance of the fish-man princess. Out of shape.

Then, the anxious giant scorpion prince rushed to the scene of the incident, but he failed to save the fish-man princess in time. However, he saw the embarrassing scene "in time" when the fish-man princess was most embarrassed. The plot after that was not the same. Unexpectedly, the abandoned fish-man princess was heartbroken and had a desire to die. Before she died, she used a conch to express her pain to her father. This made the fish-man king completely furious, and then started a mermaid war, destroying the three insect shamans. Launch a crazy chase.

This battle was earth-shattering. However, as a wise man said, the fish-man king was famous but affected innocent people. In the end, the truth came. Instead of catching the culprit, the fish-man tribe was deeply hit, and they had to swallow their anger and be punished. Forced to withdraw troops.

After listening to the wise man's narration, Yi Yan couldn't help but sigh: "Why bother?"

[Tip: You have learned the background story about "Fossil". In future games, you will no longer obtain legendary fragments related to "Fossil". 】

The prompt content made Ember look at his backpack, looking at a legendary fragment he had obtained earlier, and thought to himself: "Then the [Apple] depicted on the legendary fragment may have some connection with the apple tree mentioned by the Wasp Warrior. ?”

While the embers were reverie, the wise man used the note left by Nina to get close to the crystal ball, and soon obtained the approximate coordinates of the other half of the conch in the mine space.

According to the introduction of gold mining guidelines, the entrance to the mine is both the origin and the starting point, and each step requires a swing of the pickaxe.

"I have said everything you want to know without reservation. As long as you find the other half of the conch, you can know the whereabouts of the incarnated strange object." The wise man glanced at Ember and smiled slightly, "I have to say, you Fortunately, that incarnation of the strange object is very suitable for your ability. Although its current function may not be the same, it is still a great improvement for you now, so cherish it, young man."

[Tip: Your hidden mission "Dream Sea Gold Rush" has been accurately guided. Please go to the "Mine" to unearth the other half of the "Conch". If you cannot find it in this copy, the spatial coordinates will be invalid. 】

"Hiss... you really can't take advantage of any loopholes!"

Seeing that the designer immediately cut off the temporary postponement, Yi Yan couldn't help but gritted his teeth. The severe situation forced him to bear two pressures at the same time. Although the conch coordinates are all two digits for a small size, it also requires more than fifty mining picks to be durable. With his current financial resources, it is more than enough to bear this, but the problem is that if he wants to meet with the Shadow Lady at the same time, it seems a bit stretched. .

"I still have more than seventy coins on hand, which can be used to exchange for a double-durability mining pick, but..." Yi Yan rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "I dare to ask the wise man, how much does it cost to get the coordinates of the Opera House? Where are the coins?”

"Forty pieces, you came too late, you must pay the original price."

The wise man glanced at the embers and patted the crystal ball: "In addition, you don't have to find out who got the coordinates, because the mine space is independent. You cannot enter the mine at the same time, and the opera house cannot appear in the same location. .”

"..."

Another road was ruthlessly blocked, which made the somewhat discouraged Ember have to ask a more pragmatic question: "Can you tell me, are the coordinate numbers of the Opera House roughly similar to the coordinates of the conch? If each digit is close to three digits , I guess no one can bear it.”

"Seeing that it's not easy for you, I can give you a positive answer to this question for free."

The wise man once again showed his enlightened side and placed a nameplate in front of the ember: "In addition, according to the rules, if you buy the coordinates, I have to give you a coin task. Go to the Avenue Trading Company to get the Tarot I ordered. Take the card and remember, don’t screw it up.”

[Tip: Do you accept the coin quest from "Wise Man's Cabin"? 】

"Okay, I'll be right back!"

Considering that time was running out, Yan Yan rushed out the door with the nameplate, so he did not see the wise man stand up and take out a bottle of wine and two wine glasses from the wine cabinet. Although there was no other person in the room, he gave them two glasses. Half a glass of wine was poured into each wine glass, one glass was brought to the mouth, and the other glass was poured on the ground.

Taking a sip of the bitter wine, the wise man looked down at the spilled wine and couldn't help but shake his head: "Old drunkard, this bottle of wine you left is too bad to drink..."

…

"In the case of shared mine tunnels, my financial pressure will be less than expected. As long as I seize the time and do a few coin tasks, I should have a chance to save enough to last. In addition, if nothing unexpected happens, Mad Hatter Jack can also earn To get some profit, hopefully something I need urgently right now.”

Thanks to his previous encounter with the Fish Scale Arm, Ember knew the general situation of other players. Otherwise, he would probably have to go through painful thinking about whether to give up a coordinate, instead of being convinced that he still had a chance to achieve two goals at the same time.

He rushed to the Avenue Trading Company as quickly as possible and got the goods that the bartender needed. Ember immediately discovered that the package could not be placed in the backpack space. Fortunately, the giant scorpion mount was extremely stable even at high speed, making Ember's return journey smooth. .

"Hehehe, that kid is really back!"

"What a shame, I bet he didn't lie! Mad Hatter Jack, you can't throw away the people of Gold Rush Town!"

"Look at what you said. Everyone knows Mad Hatter Jack's name. Do you really think that kid has a chance of winning?"

Amid the commotion of the drunkards, Yu Yan handed the goods to the bartender, who opened the package and inspected the goods, with a satisfied smile on his lips: "Well done, this is your reward, two coins, don't be too little." ah!"

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still flesh, not to mention that two coins are equivalent to four times of durability. For Ember, who is determined to race against time and is not far from the goal, it is actually not a small amount.

"Is there anything else you want to send?" Yi Jin asked. Thinking about it now, how cool he was at the beginning, and how annoyed he was now. Although there were a lot of questions he wanted to know, if he really counted them out, he might be able to save a few coins.

“If you’re not a family member, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are…”

Yu Yan secretly thought that he would gain wisdom after suffering, but then he heard the bartender say: "I don't have any more here. I suggest you go to Da Dao Commercial Bank to take a look."

Unable to get the answer he wanted, Yi Yan felt helpless. At this moment, a glass of ice water, which was no longer cool, was pushed in front of him again: "You should keep this glass of water and drink it for yourself to play roulette." The most important thing is that you have a test-taking mentality. Although you have a strong tone, if you die here casually, you will definitely not be able to make me happy."

Glancing at the glass of ice water, Yi Yan immediately met the cold gaze of Mad Hatter Jack. Looking at the ignorant lamb waiting to be slaughtered, he laughed for no reason: "I'm curious how much money you prepared to buy your life? If you can't satisfy me, then you, Mad Hatter Jack, will be removed from Gold Rush Town today!"

"Hey, you're not old, but your tone is not young!"

"Why do I think he is really confident?"

"There are many who are confident, but only Mad Hatter Jack survives!"

Ignoring the discussions among the drunkards, Mad Hatter Jack immediately slapped a diamond-made mining pick on the bar and snorted: "Is that enough?"

"Enough! This is enough!"

Mining pickaxes show various qualities according to their durability. The lowest-level wooden mining pickaxe can only be used twice, the stone, iron, and gold mining pickaxes are doubled in order, and the highest-quality diamond mining pickaxe can be used thirty-two times. It was converted into sixteen coins, which was basically enough to make up for what Ember had squandered before, making him feel really lucky to meet Mad Hatter Jack as expected.

Clang!

Suddenly, the bartender knocked on the bar, euphemistically indicating that no blood could be seen in the tavern, so a group of drunkards surrounded the two Embers and walked out into the scorching sun. This scene is very similar to the gun-drawing duel in western movies. It made Ember subconsciously scan the surroundings. Are there any tumbleweeds?

As for where the remaining three points went, one of them is probably due to Ember's weapons and clothing. It is really far different from the Western Cowboy. The gold-mining police sergeant suddenly appeared, and his lines that gave a serious sense of déjà vu.

"Firstly, never act out of emotion; secondly, never miss a single bad decision; thirdly, absolutely be fair and beautiful in refereeing. The Gold Rush Sheriff is here to see you!"

"..."

Ember, who was extremely speechless, looked at the "uninvited guest" who claimed to be the Gold Rush Sheriff. He always felt that this guy was here to make fun of him, but in fact he was really here to maintain order. After all, roulette often resulted in murders, no matter what. Making arrangements in advance is also troublesome.

"I heard that you two are going to gamble your lives here?" The pot-bellied gold rush sergeant tried his best to open his small focused eyes that were covered with fat on his face. After seeing the two people nodding, he continued, "Okay! Then I will host this gambling fight, and everyone present will be a witness. No matter who is the deceased, they cannot be held accountable to the gold rush town that provided the venue."

"Okay, okay, you keep saying the same thing over and over again, but I don't see anyone coming to seek revenge."

Mad Hatter Jack impatiently took a puff of the anesthetic cigar to calm down his excitement. He suddenly looked at the embers and raised his head to challenge: "Are you ready? According to the rules, whoever fires the first shot is up to me. Let’s decide!”

"Okay, I have no objection!"

Ember, who had experienced several duels earlier, nodded without any hesitation, and then relied on his previous experience in provocation to successfully induce Mad Hatter Jack to agree to install five bullets in the revolver.

"Crazy, crazy, that kid is crazy!" This is the restless voice of the drunkards.

"It's interesting." The bartender smiled and said nothing.

"It seems like today we can get over it early." The fat police chief wiped away the sweat from his brow.

Unaware that he had bitten the hook, Mad Hatter Jack suddenly turned the revolver in an increasingly crazier manner. When the wheel stopped, he suddenly grinned at Ember, pointed the muzzle of the gun between his eyebrows, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Click!

Empty gun!

This result, while making Ember secretly clench his fists, aroused strong reactions from the drunkards. They are most willing to watch other people's excitement. Obviously, according to common sense, examining Ember's various performances in the face of death can satisfy their lost desire. The twisted psychology of a gold rush town.

"It's your turn! You should regret not drinking that glass of water, right?"

Mad Hatter Jack put the revolver into Ember's hand. This man was probably the craziest person in the field. He had no fear that Ember would fight back with a gun. And Ember did not do so. In the case of the only failure, he might have been eliminated by his opponent. Next, he began to enjoy the scorching gazes coming from him, and then blew his head off in an extraordinarily free and easy way...

…

Soon after, Ember rode the giant scorpion to the Avenue Trading Company again. He was happy that the urgent need was solved, but regretted that he had lost a stable and efficient source of coins. This was because Gold Rush Town was a duplicate copy, and the Wasp Warrior, Four-Armed Merchant and Ada If you can develop a good impression of him, Mad Hatter Jack will also be wary of him. Using similar methods to "deceive" him in the future will obviously not work.

But having said that, this is the only time that efficient extra money can play a key role at a critical moment, and it is actually enough. However, Ember still couldn't help but mutter: "It would be great if that glass of ice water could temporarily make Mad Hatter Jack frustrated." …”
