Abnormal paradise

Yu Yan found that since the opening of Gold Rush Town, his speed had become much faster. The first was of course the movement speed, the second was the escape speed, and the last remaining one was the hand speed for picking up coins.

As many as fifty round coins fell into his pocket in a short time. The speed was so fast that Ah Da couldn't get his hands on it. Of course, the premise was that he had the ability to get involved.

"Given the urgency of the situation, I have nothing to say. Leave the space-time ring with me. You don't have to worry about it being taken away. I will enter Gold Rush Town again in a while. I will notify you of the specific time. Just be prepared."

Obtaining the soul-bearing corpse and escaping from the giant scorpion tribe can complete the second ring main mission. If you want to conquer the third ring, you need to enter the hell for gold again. Compared with the conch mission, the whole process is not only time-consuming but also laborious. Under normal circumstances, You need to play through the difficulty, nightmare and hell modes each time, and you need to trigger legendary battles from time to time, which is completely different from the conch mission, which is mainly about exploration.

In fact, if possible, Yi Yan would like to get rid of the problem once and for all. However, he has no choice but to pursue fierce soldiers behind him, and he cannot return to the triggering location of the third ring mission - the forest. Therefore, he can only act according to the plan, collect the coins and pick up the dropped coins. Jump on the giant scorpion mount and activate the running skills without hesitation.

Although there was still a minute or two left in the safe time, he had no intention of staying here. If something unpleasant happened, he would definitely regret it.

"Lord Ember, Ada and the Giant Scorpion Tribe are looking forward to your return!"

Ah Da saluted solemnly and watched as Ember drove the giant scorpion mount and rushed straight to the city gate.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Ember checked out the loot from Death Soldier No. 1. One of them was the [Fusion Tree Fruit (Stable)] that might have been dropped for fixed purposes, while the other one was a bit surprising to Ember because it was an ancient book. The book has a four-character title written on it with black and red ink of unknown material——

[Introduction to Witchcraft].

…

[Introduction to Witchcraft] (Special skill book/binding after opening/off-hand equipment/limited content)

Type: Special Item

Function 1: Learn the witchcraft ability using "Shadow-Eating Insect" as the basic material

Function 2: Improve the effect of "witchcraft" skills

Requirements: Nineteen-point perception level (not applicable), special physical constitution (applicable)

Introduction: This is a special book that records strange spells. It can introduce you to the door of witchcraft and give you a slight control over the strange abilities derived from the shadow-eating insects.

[Tip: Deliver it to the foundation to exchange for a bottle of "Third-Level Evolution Reagent (Optimized Version)". 】

…

Um.

If I read correctly.

This should be a legendary adventure.

Wait, as a master of adventure, it seems that I am not suitable to use the adjective "legend".

However, this thing should be just a decoration to me...

Activating witchcraft requires a lot of perception. I'm a power student, so I obviously don't have so many attribute points.

Shaking his head, Yi Yan stuffed the skill and equipment book into his backpack and muttered: "It's a good thing to have an adventure, but it's a pity that I can't use it... I'll go back and ask if anyone needs it. It's okay to change it. I really don't like it. Yes, it's not bad to exchange it for optimization reagents. Anyway, I still lack one bottle myself, and I also need one bottle for the subsequent development of Pyromania. But having said that, [Advanced Resurrection Technique] is very difficult to do. Although I have already made a reservation with Guangfa, But hope seems very slim."

In his reverie, Ember ran out of the tribe, completely eliminating the possibility of the deputy chief's interception, and officially received the completion prompt of the current mission.

[Tip: You have completed the second ring of the hidden mission "Soul-Resident Corpse". If you want to trigger subsequent missions, please find a suitable place to activate the "Time and Space Ring" in Hell Mode. 】

[Tip: You can ask the “wise man” in Gold Rush Town for the exact trigger point of the “Time and Space Ring”. 】

“I wonder how much the consultation fee is?”

Although he had learned the exact location from the Djinn God Jeffries, in order to prevent the mission designer from burying the "switch", Ember felt that it was necessary to "do unnecessary things". The number of hundreds of coins was enough to support his choice. To waste.

But here comes the problem...

What are the charging standards for Hell Mode?

It shouldn’t change, right?

However, I still think about how to pass the last competitive event first. Without the protection of the rules of hidden tasks, I seem to have to fight one against many.

I don’t know where Qiu Yinong and Miaomiao are now? Is the task progressing smoothly?

There are no two of them in the elimination list, and the route map will not be displayed. If we finally encounter a new team formed by them and others, there will be something to play...

…

[Tip: Exploring the diary "Fifteen o'clock on the fourth day", because you made a special request to "Ada", you triggered the fixed event "Sand Sea Storm". 】

Huhuhu...

A strong wind swept across the sky, and black clouds filled the sky.

Ember looked at the majestic sandstorm, and began to wear a hooded robe decorated with hooks, and then perched in the depression on the side of the giant scorpion mount, allowing himself to be submerged by the overwhelming whistling wind and sand...

Not long after, he used the path-finding characteristics of the giant scorpion mount to sneak into the bottom of the sand sea and found the abandoned palace of the fish-men clan. He then placed the complete listening conch into the corresponding groove on the throne, and finally passed through the space vortex. , enter the Murloc King's Court, which also exists in the background of the game.

[Tip: Exploring the diary "Eighteen o'clock on the fourth day", you enter the special scene "The Court of the Fish-Man". 】

[Introduction: In a strange environment dominated by aliens, you'd better be careful about your words and actions, and don't worry about language barriers. "Tingyin Conch" is an extremely intelligent translation device. 】

[Tip: Your action time is only ten minutes. After leaving this scene, you will directly enter the competition event in the sand sea area. 】

Before entering the Fishman King's Court, Yi Yan was worried about breathing problems and wondered whether he needed a breathing device to move in an environment full of water. However, as soon as he stepped into the alien plane, he realized that he had been worrying too much. , the legendary Fishman King's Court is not in the ocean, and the air here doesn't seem to be very fresh.

Woo!

Rumble…

A noise came from afar, and Yi Yan immediately saw a black train spewing rising steam, breaking through the thick fog and approaching quickly.

He was stunned for a few seconds, until the train stopped in front of him, and he suddenly realized that the source of power driving the train was actually a steam engine, and the place he was now on was clearly an old-fashioned platform!

"Is there any mistake? Is there something wrong with the teleportation plane? But why do I feel that the person who got off the train is the fish man..."

Just when Ember began to doubt his life, several well-dressed fish-men gentlemen... let's call them that, with ferocious warm smiles on their faces, hurriedly walked off the train, stood in front of Ember, and said an opening sentence , explained his doubts.

"When the ocean is no longer suitable for survival, land becomes our only choice. Meet me, I am the 'smart' minister of the Fishman King's Court, meow!"

Smart... minister?

Hearing this, Yu Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, took out the phone bug who took the initiative to take on the task of translation, and whispered earnestly: "If you don't act well, forget it. You can't cut corners and perfunctory such a simple translation work, right? I obviously understand I heard that he made a long series of sounds when introducing himself, how come you are only smart?"

"In the fishman language, this name means "smart", meow? Do you understand Xindaya's translation guidelines, meow?"

"..."

Faced with the dead-eye offensive of the phone bug and the powerful defense that could not find fault, Yi Yan was decisively defeated. Then, with the help of simultaneous interpreters, he got to know the "handsome" earl, the "powerful" guard and the other three. "Old driver" train conductor.

"That's it... I can't stay for a few minutes anyway, I just need to get used to it..."

Yi Yan pinched his forehead, put aside his distracting thoughts and said: "I was entrusted by the eldest daughter of the sun, and hereby send a sun flower to His Majesty the Fishman King. In addition, by chance, I met the fish A human princess, she wished to return to her hometown, but her long-cherished wish came true."

With that said, Yi Yan took out the sunflower and another listening conch respectively, which immediately made several fishmen's enthusiasm increase exponentially, especially the smart minister and the handsome earl, who were so excited that they saluted Yi Yi.

"It turns out that you are the messenger of the eldest daughter of the sun. Please forgive me for being rude. His Majesty the King is waiting for your arrival."

The bright and cheerful minister hurriedly boarded the relatively neat steam train with a few people around him, surrounded by the embers. After a while, the train set off again, apparently headed straight for the king.

It is worth mentioning that this train track was built between mountains and forests, so there are very few artificial buildings along the way. The last place the train entered was not a palace, but more like a hot spring used by the Fishman King for vacation and recuperation. manor.

Regarding the return mission of the fish-man princess, the handsome earl, who exuded a strong fishy smell, paid the mission reward directly to Ember in the car without going through the hands of the fish-man king.

Because this task is mainly about the fish-man king actively cooperating with various organizations to cultivate new people in order to deepen the connection with the three worlds, so it is mostly of an acting nature. The Tingyin Conch who claims to be the "fish-man princess" is not a real fish-man princess. , it is the same as the Meowing Telephone Bug, both are abnormal projects brought in by the "doctor" to participate in the "shooting", but the former is not only superb in acting, but also more dedicated.

By the way, the two phone bugs stay in the backpack space and often engage in some weird two-person activities...

[Tip: You have completed the special mission "Go Home" issued by "The Fishman Princess", and you have received the mission reward "Treasure Token No. 16". 】

[Tip: After the "Canyon Plane" is officially opened, you can use this token to exchange for a precious item in the "Canyon Treasure House". 】

Another treasure token?

Good luck!

In addition to being happy about this result, Yi Yan also immediately came up with the idea that the exploration process of every hidden mission will involve treasure tokens, but getting the treasure tokens requires some effort and luck.

If Ember had not unlocked the positive mark [Sun Defender] before entering the "Distant Oasis" in nightmare mode, then he would not have triggered the Murloc Princess's return home mission, and naturally would not have been able to obtain the treasure token.

In this adventure, strength was more influential than luck. If Yan Yan hadn't used various advantages to save a lot of time, then he wouldn't have been able to obtain the No. 21 treasure token from the prisoner with extraordinary origins. .

In addition, the difficulty of "dropping" treasure tokens is likely to be limited to hell mode. Yi Jin feels that it is necessary to communicate with the otaku masters such as Ao about this. By the way, he also has to remind his friends not to miss any clues.

Under the guidance of the wise minister, Yi Yan soon met the fishman king who was soaking in the hot spring.

No, using "seeing" to describe the current state may not be accurate. Because of the smoky and humid environment, the ability to perceive is completely obscured. The embers can only pass through the blurred outline, sighing that the size of the fishman king is exaggerated. Other than that, Besides, he couldn't even smell the other person's scent.

Along the way, Ember's nose was severely damaged. Although these fishmen left the ocean and put on suits, the strong fishy smell derived from their bloodline could not be concealed, and the type of fishy smell was different for each fishman.

The smart minister is a bit like diluted isatis root granules, the handsome earl is like dried salted fish that has been dried for several days, the powerful guard is dried for longer than the former and has a longer aftertaste, and the last veteran driver, the train conductor, is probably due to professional reasons. , even if he often sprayed his body with fish-man perfume, he could not hide the smell of steam train fumes.

"Ah, this is the first time I think the smell of water vapor can be so good."

Yu Yan rubbed his nose, cursed, and then offered the sunflower. Then he heard the fishman king deep in the mist say in a deep voice: "Thank you for me... cough cough... the eldest daughter of the sun... cough cough cough... …”

The unstoppable coughing made the expressions of the people waiting nearby change drastically. From time to time, fishmen dressed as doctors rushed into the fog, and under such circumstances, Yi Yan was invited out by the wise minister.

"I'm sorry, Lord Messenger, for making you laugh."

The smart minister's expression was full of worry, which made Yi Yan couldn't help but ask: "Is His Majesty the Fishman King injured?"

"Yes, His Majesty encountered an attack the day before your arrival, so even if you send the sun flowers in time, we cannot immediately hold the promotion ceremony of the Holy Knight as required, but we always welcome you to represent the eldest daughter of the sun, Come and watch, we will notify you of the exact time immediately.”

The purpose of the Murloc King asking for the Sunflower is to allow the Paladins of the Murloc clan to break through the legendary bottleneck, while Ember can observe the promotion ceremony at close range and promote the epic character mark [Sun Defender] to improve his level. Unfortunately, the plan Unable to keep up with the changes, the Murloc King was suddenly injured, so the promotion ceremony could not be held as scheduled, but this gave Ember more ample opportunity to prepare.

Because the eldest daughter of the Sun said that the meritorious service of escorting the Sunflower alone was not enough to earn a front-row seat in the promotion ceremony, and the mission of the fish-man princess to return home did not increase the favorability of the fish-men clan for Ember as expected. , so he planned to use this contact to try to find some opportunities to gain favor in a short period of time.

As a result, Ember immediately expressed his feelings, asked if there was anything he could do to help, and vaguely revealed his desire to occupy an important seat.

The smart minister lived up to his reputation as a smart man. With a twitch of his eyes, he made many requests to Ember, some of which were more difficult to handle, such as further connecting the fishman royal court and the eldest daughter of the sun to achieve in-depth cooperation. If it were changed to It might be easier if Qiu Yinong waited for the guardian knight, but as an apostle of the dark curtain, Yi Yan didn't think about it.

As for the simple ones, they are relatively simple. The independent plane of the Fishman King's Court lacks some important materials and must be obtained by traveling to the three major worlds. But so far, the three major organizations in Paradise World have just accepted the Fish-Man Royal Court, so the smart minister wants to find another way. However, the materials that can be favored by the Fish-Man King Court must at least be obtained from the Samsung Legend. Therefore, Yi Yan can only feel helpless.

However, although the conditions proposed by the wise minister are extremely harsh, this does not mean that Ember cannot do even one of them——

"What do you mean, your Excellency, the promotion ceremony of the Paladin still lacks high-level rare objects with an eternal atmosphere?"

"Yes, His Majesty the King once asked the Sun's Eldest Daughter for the imperial relics, but the Sun's Eldest Daughter did not agree, even if it was only for a few days, or the relics themselves completely lost their ancient aura. In fact, our existing eternal aura It is enough, but the empire world has a close relationship with our fish-men clan. If we can get the assistance of high-level rare objects, the promotion ceremony of the paladin will be smoother. I wonder if the envoy can ask for mercy from the eldest daughter of the sun?"

"There's no need to ask for mercy."

"Ah?" The smart minister's eyes widened, and he didn't understand why Ember, who asked the question, refused so decisively.

"If it's just for a few days, I can agree to it myself, because I happen to have such a thing on hand, and I'll send it to you later. It should be in time, right?"
