Chapter 169: The Wine of Noxus
“…… What, already left? ”
Lin Yiyi asked a little unwillingly: "When is it?" ”
"It wasn't that long ago."
The dwarven bartender with a braided red beard wiped his glass, raised his head slightly, and recalled, "It's almost two days, or three days......
The main quest for this stage is to gather intelligence on the map. It's a soothing stage.
As a result, players form their own light teams of four and embark on a free journey through the underground world.
Dispel nightmares to level up and light up waypoints, and chase Captain Selicia in the stone.
And the four-person offline black team with Lin Yiyi as the captain, including the four people from Si Dark, Jiu'er and Citalopram, was the first team to obtain effective information.
Because they actually started out just to light up the "southernmost waypoint", and arrived at the southernmost part of the kingdom of Denisoa, under the "Good Luck Point".
The Kingdom of Denisoa is a large island nation.
Its southernmost point was once called the "Dragon Hunting Peninsula".
Back in the bloody war, it was blown up and sunk by a gold-level destruction wizard, leaving only a small sharp horn to the north. It happens to be a complete town with surrounding farms...... Later, the town was renamed "Good Luck Point".
Because the entire peninsula was sunk, almost all of its inhabitants were killed in the sea or exploded...... Only this town was lucky enough to escape, and even achieved a miracle of no casualties.
This can definitely be called "good luck".
After the Great Barrier of the United Kingdom began to operate, Cape Good Luck was the southernmost part of the known civilized world.
Of the four countries of the earthly world, the United Kingdom is the "most broken" piece. And Winter is the most complete piece. Although Winter is only a principality, it is the largest in terms of area.
In the dead of winter, it even borders the church directly on the east side, while the southwesternmost side is only 30 nautical miles away from the port of Frozen Water. And this trench is also a natural formation - of course, it was just a river when the imperial capital was still around.
The reason why it is a principality is only because there was only the Grand Duke of Winter, and after the sudden death of the empire on the spot, after the bloody battle, he still followed the traditions of the principality since ancient times, and did not take the opportunity to establish himself as king.
Like the current Kingdom of Denisoa, they were also principalities in the beginning.
Now, if the four kingdoms on the earth are put together, they almost look like a handle. Noah occupied the most fertile continent in the northwest corner, as well as a few small islands in the east and south.
The United Kingdom, on the other hand, occupies the largest islands south of Noah, as well as a vertical "Big Island".
This large island is the kingdom of Denisoa.
The reason why there is a sea trench between Noah and the United Kingdom, and between Noah and Winter, is the boundary of the country...... It's not because of nature's miraculous workmanship, or because they did it when they enclosed the land.
Instead, during the bloody war, it was blown up by the destruction wizards.
The United Kingdom is the country that destroys the most wizards, and they are also the country that has been assassinated the most wizards.
That's why they're the country with the most broken land.
The main part of the United Kingdom is the "grip" part on the left side of the handle. Many of those scattered islands were blown up from the main island.
The trench between Noah and Noah was not so wide......
It was also bombed by the wizards of both sides. Some used to belong to Noah's part, and some used to belong to the United Kingdom. Because what the Denisoans are best at is cross-border bombing warfare.
The Denisoa people believe that equivalence can solve all problems – and if it can't, it's probably because there isn't enough equivalent.
The core idea of destroying the wizard, "Deterrence Brings Peace", is also typical of Denisoa's thinking.
Even if it's not a sabotage wizard, ordinary Denisoas have this notion.
Like the dwarven store manager in front of Lin Yiyi and them—this is the first dwarf colony the player has found.
Although they are now underground, they still have Denisoa traditions. For example, the dwarves who drank in the tavern, and the red-haired men, each with a gun...... It's terrifying to watch.
It turns out that although the underground kingdom is not subordinate to the above-ground part.
However, whether it is folklore or tradition, the underground part has a clear inheritance relationship with the city directly above it.
After going from the underground of the Winter Kingdom to the underground of Denisoa, the most obvious change is that the "weapon possession rate" has directly increased by more than 300%.
The firearm is on the Spore Mill side, and only exists as a secondary weapon.
Because it's too loud and not stealthy at all...... In addition, it is slow to reload, inaccurate and easy to accidentally injure teammates, and is generally only used by Overseers - it is in the hands of Overseers, and its biggest role is to fire a deterrent.
The situation is quite different in the underground area of Denisoa, a medium-sized town called Saltpeter Ranch.
Even the elderly and children here are bound to carry weapons. Firearms are the top priority...... Even if they don't have guns, they carry bows, daggers, and axes.
At the Spore Mill, those men would hide even with weapons. Everyone wore heavy clothes just so that no one could see how much wealth they had and how many weapons they had.
But here in the saltpeter ranch, everyone wants to be shirtless, with guns and wealth exposed.
Lin Yiyi even saw the man who made the wizard kill copy, "Ike Burning Fang", and the special ornament seen on the Shield of Immortality, a large gold chain like a mahjong tile.
- It's a specialty of this region.
There are even shops that specialize in this item. There are gold-plated models, bronze models, and of course there are real gold ones - and the words written on the mahjong tiles seem to have different meanings.
It's like a tattoo, and there's even a gap in status.
Different levels of identity...... The types that can be purchased are also different.
The Denisoas seem to believe that the wealth they hold is also a form of strength. They will try to show their full strength as much as possible.
Players even saw a peculiar costume - a gun pouch at the forearm, which was stuffed directly there. A special mechanism like a Hidden Arrow, but on the outside instead of the inside arm.
And the proportion of transcendents here has also increased significantly...... Of course, they don't know if there are guys "dressed up" as transcendents mixed in.
According to this custom of the Denisoas, such people must have existed.
This custom even made Lin Yiyi and them immediately recognized the identity of "outsiders" after they came here.
At first, it struggled for them.
It's not just about crowding out outsiders.
Rather, it's a more serious situation...... All are consciously bullying the weak.
By the way.
The reason why Lin Yiyi and the others were able to enter the tavern safely to inquire about the news...... The main reason is that Jiu'er was completely annoyed by the robbers who came to the door again and again.
She directly picked up the axe and rushed over to kill all sides with one move, instantly beheading three adult men who tried to rob them. Then he resisted a close-range shot without changing his face, and a disabling blow with a backhand, and amputated his leg below the eyebrows on the last man suspected of being a bronze hunter.
- Immediately after that, they were unblocked.
