DOTA’s Madness

Original: The first of three is here!

Team contract scroll?

Zhao Dingguo thought about it and thought that he could temporarily use it as a mortgage to join the Illuminati. Although Zhao Dingguo got to know a lot of people, there was no good candidate for him to form a formal team with. After all, setting up a team is a big deal. If you make a hasty decision, there may be endless hidden dangers in the future.

In this case, let's take it out first.

Anyway, the chairman also said that you can exchange it for other items at any time if needed. After dusk, we will return directly.

"Have you decided?"

The chairman confirmed, and after seeing Zhao Dingguo nodding, he picked up the phone.

A few minutes later, the magic staff that Zhao Dingguo needed was obtained. In exchange, Zhao Dingguo also took out the scrolls from the nameplate space and handed them over to the public space for storage. The so-called public space is also a paid service launched by Chaoshen Platform, which is a bit like the guild warehouse in online games. Because it is much easier to open a public space than to obtain resurrection spring water, organizations of a slightly larger scale will have it. Generally speaking, only the president, vice president and close senior management who manage the daily affairs of the organization have the authority to operate.

As long as they don't all die, this public space is absolutely safe.

【Magic Staff】

+10 points of intelligence.

Note: A powerful weapon once wielded by a fallen mage, worthy of any mage's possession.

After looking at the attributes of this piece of equipment, Zhao Dingguo put it away with satisfaction. After bidding farewell to the chairman. Zhao Dingguo came to the trading platform hall in the headquarters building again. Maybe it's because of the late night. Not many people still stay here. Zhao Dingguo glanced over and saw only Tuo Xicheng, an acquaintance.

"Zhao Dingguo?"

Tuo Xicheng was a little surprised, but calmed down and greeted him friendly.

Zhao Dingguo also said hello, but seeing that he seemed to be chatting with his companions, Zhao Dingguo excused himself and found a private room to log in to the trading platform. On the platform, Zhao Dingguo easily searched hundreds of transaction messages about the Ogre Ax and the Blade of Joy. The prices quoted above were varied, and many sellers also proposed other conditions in exchange for things. Zhao Dingguo was dazzled when he saw them.

but. He discovered a strange problem.

The price of the Blade of Joy is quite normal, roughly the same as in memory, but the price of the Ogre Ax has seriously increased.

I remember that two months ago, when Zhao Dingguo looked at it, the average was still 1,800 win points. Now somehow it has risen to 2400 points!

It suddenly increased by 600 victory points.

If he chooses to buy the Ogre Ax, the victory points available to Zhao Dingguo will be almost exhausted, leaving only the reserved one thousand victory points. Although it was unclear what happened, Zhao Dingguo finally chose to buy another one.

Blade of Joy: The attribute is agility +10 points, the price is 1750 victory points, and the method is face-to-face transaction in the real world.

After checking dozens of items, Zhao Dingguo felt that the offer should be cheap, so he immediately confirmed the transaction without hesitation. Then, he followed the contact information sent by the platform. Start contacting the seller. Perhaps the other party was busy, so the phone rang more than a dozen times and was answered. The seller sounded like a middle-aged man. When he learned that Zhao Dingguo had purchased the Blade of Joy he had listed, he quickly agreed on a transaction location.

Excluding these 1,750 victory points, Zhao Dingguo still had roughly two thousand, and his savings were still considered substantial.

The next step is to wait for the opportunity to enter the main plane again.

Zhao Dingguo couldn't help but feel very happy when he thought that he would be able to possess the magic staff soon.

In a sense, this was the first big event in his life. Although the price of Aghanim's Scepter is much lower than that of some top-level equipment, considering its special ability to enhance the effect of the ultimate move, it can be regarded as one of the divine items.

Have a pedigree. Possessing another magical piece of equipment, which is recognized as the sign of a dusk level master.

After continuing to be distracted for a while, Zhao Dingguo shook his head and returned to the information about the price increase of the Ogre Ax. A piece of equipment will never increase in price so much for no reason. There are only two reasons. Either the tasks and monsters that produce these equipment have changed, or there is an organization operating maliciously behind the scenes.

Like the Illuminati!

Because he participated in controlling the secret realm where plate armor was produced. The Illuminati once cooperated with others to raise the price of plate armor to 2,500 victory points, and it was still expensive but not marketable. If it weren't for the fact that there was more than one place producing plate armor, the Ninth Secret Realm, and the Illuminati only accounted for 20% of the production capacity, the price could be raised even higher.

What happened to the price increase of the Ogre Ax this time?

Zhao Dingguo recalled the recent internal publications and found no useful clues, so he decided to get up and return. But when he returned to the hall, Zhao Dingguo saw Tuo Xicheng who was still there, and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. Tuo Xicheng is also an experienced Xuri-level super user. Maybe ask him what news he can get.

"Ogre's Axe?"

Tuo Xicheng thought for a while and said uncertainly: "I have heard some things, but I can't guarantee the absolute accuracy. You also know that the main place of production of the ogre ax is the tribe of trolls and ogres. Usually, the leader-level elite monsters there will drop them, or related quests may also be given. But about half a month ago, one of the two major tribes of trolls, Aktura Island Chain, had a problem."

"Aktura Island?"

Zhao Dingguo frowned. He remembered where he had heard of this place name.

"It is the Aktu Wasteland in the southwest of the Guards Corps. In the center of the wasteland is a large freshwater lake in the southwest. The Aktu Island Chain is located in the center of the freshwater lake. It is home to the troll war general and shadow shaman. The hometown of the hero. Now, it should be controlled by the Void Spirit Organization."

"Void Spirit? That's right!"

When Tuo Xicheng reminded him, Zhao Dingguo began to think deeply. It was during the seminar at the Illuminati headquarters. People from the Ethereal Organization proposed cooperation. The condition they offered was to open Aktura Island in exchange for the benefits of the secret realm. However, because the Void Spirit organization only reached an agreement with some islands in the island chain, and the overall benefits and strategic status were far inferior to those of the secret realm, the Illuminati directly rejected Void Spirit's request at that time.

Could it be that Void Spirit is behind the increase in the price of the Ogre Ax?

"That's not the case!"

Tuo Xicheng shook his head and said: "Although the Void Spirit Organization is not weak, its power in the main plane is still limited. The main problem is that the Naga tribe has also appeared there, and strange natural disasters and plagues have been spread. . The troll tribe suffered heavy casualties, and the relevant plot heroes were also busy with disaster relief, so it became a mess. Almost all the original tasks have been changed, and there are many fewer elite leader monsters that drop the ogre axe. I guess the Void Spirit Organization is also extremely busy right now?"

"The Naga tribe also appeared in the Aktu Wasteland? How did they get there?"

Zhao Dingguo was a little surprised. It was understandable that there were Nagas at Leize in the Southern Wilderness. After all, it was connected to the Endless Sea. But Aktu is located in the southwest of the mainland, and the wasteland stretches for thousands of miles. Did the Naga people fly there?

"I don't know about that."

Tuo Xicheng shrugged and said: "If you know the reason, you can tell the story heroes Troll Warlord and Shadow Shaman. I believe they will be happy to give you a large reward."

"I see."

Zhao Dingguo nodded. Although he didn't understand what the Naga clan, known as the third camp in the mainland, was doing, he finally understood the reason why the price of the Ogre Ax had increased. If what Tuo Xicheng said is true, it can be foreseen that the price of the Ogre Ax will never fall in the future, and may even continue to rise. Zhao Dingguo didn't want to spend such a high price to buy an existing ax, so he decided to go to Aktu Wasteland to have a look in person.

Aghanim's Scepter cannot wait, Zhao Dingguo hopes to make it as soon as possible.

In the next few days, while Zhao Dingguo continued to deal with the super god ranking competition, he also took time to investigate the situation on Aktura Island.

Fortunately, because part of it was occupied by the Ethereal Organization, the Illuminati had also made great efforts to investigate it and had a relatively detailed description of it. On the morning before entering the main seat, Zhao Dingguo finally checked all the original information. Unfortunately, most of this information is from before the natural disasters and plagues occurred on the Aktura island chain. Many of the descriptions are now inaccurate and can only be used as a reference.

Soon, as the silver-level hero badge cooled down, Zhao Dingguo activated his teleportation skill.

The Aktu Wasteland located in the southwest of the mainland is nearly ten thousand miles away from the World Tree. It is definitely not possible to run directly there. Fortunately, you can directly teleport from the World Tree base camp, then transfer to the outpost in the wasteland, and teleport again to go directly to the island. However, Zhao Dingguo did not go there immediately, but found his mentor first.

With the inheritance of perfect bloodline, Zhao Dingguo has a natural and unbreakable relationship with his powerful mentor. With this relationship, he naturally wanted to make good use of it. As one of the top warriors in the Guards Corps, Karl must know something about Aktura Island.

It might be useful to get some information from him.

Hurrying slowly all the way, Zhao Dingguo arrived at the Blood Elf Manor on the upper level of the World Tree. It happened that the instructor was also there, so Zhao Dingguo swaggered in under the envious and jealous eyes of several super users outside. Moreover, due to the supplicant's instructions, Zhao Dingguo was able to enter his study directly without waiting.

"Please come in."

Jia Ruo raised his head and glanced at Zhao Dingguo, then looked at the magic hourglass in the study, and said with a bit of teasing, "Why do you come to me so early?"

Zhao Dingguo knew that he could not hide it from the blood elf king, so he shrugged and told his purpose.

"Aktura Island?"

Hearing this place, Jia Ruo's face became unusually serious. He pondered for a while and said to Zhao Dingguo: "It is indeed easy to get the Ogre Ax there, but now at this time... I suggest you wait a little longer. It's been a few months and it's not very safe there now." (To be continued...)
