“…… O Thurjod, the sword of the hero is reflected in the firmament,

Reflecting the cyan dawn, held in the palm of his hand, the blade of the sword was as bright as a beam of flame. ”

Fang Yu turned his head and looked at the poet who was standing in the middle of the woodland, holding the lute in his hand and smiling on his lips. He was a little surprised to hear stories about dragon-slaying heroes here.

It was Galapea, a heroic poem, named after the elf's holy sword.

The poet patted the lute and said to the audience around him with some triumph: "You have not seen how I performed in the previous battle, and when I faced those crystal monsters, I was no less than the hero Shuyod. ”

The audience laughed. But it seems that this gentleman poet really has two brushes, and although he boasts about himself, not many people have come out against it. It seems that either this is the case, or he is very popular among these people.

Fang Yu looked at the aborigines and free electors who gathered together, and in either way, it showed the ability of this poet.

"In the face of those crystal monsters, there are really people who stand up like heroes. I know of a paladin who saw it with his own eyes, and the other party killed a crab by himself. ”

Someone in the crowd spoke.

The crabs here are, of course, those giant crabs, Fang Yu subconsciously thought that he was talking about the big cat people, and couldn't help but look in that direction. But some people say:

"I know that man, he's a famous lone ranger. But the other party doesn't seem to have been in this area before, so he should have come to Nogones recently? ”

"Did you make a mistake about killing the crab by yourself, according to our captain, that thing is more than thirty levels. Although he can't be considered a real large creature, isn't he also at this level, which guild's high-level Elector would be so idle? Even the free electors won't come here to hang out, will they? ”

"This is where people are powerful, I heard that he is only in his twenties."

Then everyone argued with me word by word, and Fang Yu also turned around, and had no intention of listening again. However, he couldn't help but suspect in his heart, this kind of strongman who suddenly appeared in Nognes couldn't be for himself, right?

His suspicions are not unreasonable, this kind of person who wanders around the world, like X, has a high probability of being a bounty hunter. And what the bounty hunters are flocking to Nognes for is self-evident.

"Mr. Ed."

"Mr. Ed?"

Fang Yu suddenly heard someone calling him at this time, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that it was a walnut in the ground.

The crowd was surrounding the edge of the woodland, watching in the distance as the non-combat-oriented Electors formed an improvised line of defense along the banks of the valley. Whenever they finished a section, the tall Greytree Man would step forward and stick his hands into the dirt, causing the bushes there to grow wildly, forming a dense web of thorns in front of the ravine.

In fact, the Electors gave this line of defense a name, the Thorn Front.

By the time Crystal began to attack the place, the line of defense across the river from the withered woodland in the valley in the distance was the first line of defense against the Greywood Forest.

"It's nothing," Fang Yu shook his head, signaling that the walnuts in the ground were listening, "You continue." ”

Walnut looked at him before continuing, "As Miss Sylvid and Mr. Red have speculated, most of the free electors who remain here are non-combat-oriented, and most of them are professional miners, hired by several major guilds in the south of Nogones to mine crystals. ”

"In addition, there are some logistical support personnel, such as alchemists or something, which is more or less the same situation. After the Crystallized Beasts began to invade the mines, the fighting members were almost completely wiped out, and these people were unable to break out, so they could only flee deeper into the depths. Unexpectedly, they were rescued by the Ash Tree people, so they stayed here. ”

"The rest of the people are relatives and friends of these people, such as Mr. Eddard, an alchemist who is hired by the local guild will most likely also hire other people from the Seven Seas Brigade, just like mercenaries."

Parker couldn't help but interject when he heard this: "There is such a good thing, then why don't I find a full group of people to follow me, and then share the account with them?" ”

"Come on," Sky Blue scoffed, "If Brother Ed is like this, maybe someone else will recognize it." But your words, if you stick to a person, others will think about it. ”

"Why, you look down on the King of Nightingales?"

"The King of Nightingales is Lady Papamo, what does it have to do with you?"

"I'm Ms. Papamo!"

Fang Yu was accustomed to this child's quarrel like a family, and he said to the walnuts in the ground without changing his face: "Walnuts, you don't have to worry about them, go on." ”

Walnut in the ground nodded, "There are still some people who came from the camp. ”

"Why, apart from the people of the Holy White Stone, Hydra, and the Twilight Guild, are there any free callers coming here in the forward camp?"

"No," said this, the walnut in the ground couldn't help laughing, "It's just that when the camp was breached, someone found that there was a resurrection point for Amea, and chose to resurrect below, but ended up trapped in this place." ”

It has always been common sense among the Electors who venture in Aitaria that when choosing a respawn point, even if it is farther away, it is better to choose a respawn point that they are more familiar with, if allowed.

Because no one knows what will be outside the resurrection point, it may be an ambush, or even in an underground abandoned temple that can no longer be reached.

The floating continents of the First World have experienced at least three eras of history, from Sinsas to Noumerin and from Noumerin to modern times, in the tens of thousands of years of history, several major wars have caused several changes in the continent, and countless ruins of former cities and temples have been buried under the earth.

Those resurrection altars of the past may still be in operation today, but the temple inside is now only a ruined wall, and even dangerous.

As one of the only five chances of resurrection, the Chosen ones will of course choose carefully.

But not everyone will do this, every year there are countless such Madaha electors who die twice because of the random selection of resurrection points, as a former community expert, Fang Yu has seen a lot.

For such a fool, he really didn't know what to say except that he was speechless.

But there is a resurrection point underneath, which means that Moon Arit's plan is indeed similar to what he expected-

“…… However, since many of the people who stayed here were the staff of the original mining area, they should be aware of the situation before the Crystallization Beast appeared, right? ”

The walnut in the ground nodded again.

"But I've heard a lot among them, and they don't seem to know anything about the Chosen One with a 'dark aura.'"

"So Brother Ed, could it be that when the miners entered, those people had already left?"

Fang Yu glanced at Miss Naturalist, and was also thinking about this possibility in his heart. But according to the journal description, Bourkeso's team began digging beneath the rift at least five months ago.

After a moment, he asked again, "Have the major guilds rotated the staff of the mining area on a large scale during this period?" ”

"Then where can it be, Brother Ed," Tianlan finally pulled away from Parker's bickering at this time, and shook his head, "This is not comparable to the real world, most of the people who come here to mine are Electors, and they don't have a need for rotation." Our Guild ...... The miners of Iris are almost like robots. ”

"But Elder Greyskin had said that those people had appeared about half a year ago, but they certainly didn't leave right away after they came. Mr. Big Cat Man also said that the drastic reduction in the production of crystal veins in the Nognes region began about three months ago, which means that they have been here for at least a few months, which means that they will definitely have an intersection with the people below unless they have another way to leave. ”

Red listened to Miss Naturalist's glutinous voice, opened his mouth, and finally sighed as if he were fated. Even Kita has learned a lot from these people, and she would never have used the title of Mr. Big Cat Man before.

"That means we may not be looking for the right person," Fang Yu replied, "after all, there must be more than one person in the heyday of this place, and it is indeed unrealistic to find someone who has happened to have seen or heard of those guys among the remaining people." ”

"So what do we do next?" Sky Blue asked, "Elder Greyskin has asked us to investigate the matter of those guys, although I also suspect that those people must be our 'old acquaintances', but there is no clue at the moment. ”

"The worst thing is that those treants didn't even make it clear to us what the reward for this mission was, which left me with no motivation at all." Parker kicked a pebble out of the way, into the river in the distance, and let out a grunt.

Fang Yu glanced at the Lion Man Paladin, "Let's take one step at a time, if I have the chance, I actually care a lot about what happens there." ”

But if there is a chance, he will not let the Seven Seas Brigade rush to give away the head.

And the walnuts in the ground brought back far more than just this bit of news-

The reason why the Electors are so active at the moment is because the Grey Tree people are giving them rich rewards. At Walnut's signal, Jujube took out a leaf that shone with an emerald green glow from under the cloak.

"What is this?"

"Leaves of the Elder Tree," replied Walnut underground, "this is the reward given by the Tree People, Mr. Eddard, you must have heard of the Wisdom Elixir, right?" ”

Fang Yu nodded, the so-called wisdom elixir was actually another name for the experience elixir.

Not only had he heard it, but he had drunk it. In fact, the members of the Seven Seas Brigade have more or less used experience potions, on the one hand, when the Elffindor Council was stationed, some were supported by the military, otherwise Luo Hao and Tang Xin would not have upgraded so quickly. However, theoretically speaking, the three of them were also in the military, so it is not a violation of the law for the military to do so.

After making a fortune in Istania, they bought a few more in Questak, giving the team an average upgrade by one wave. It can be said that the Seven Seas Brigade has its current rank, all thanks to these two experiences of 'sprouting seedlings to grow'.

However, although the empirical medicine is said to have some meaning of promoting the growth of seedlings, the positive benefits almost always outweigh the negative effects. It's a pity that most of the experience potions on the market are disposable, and it is basically impossible to directly rely on this level increase.

The walnut in the ground took the leaf from the date palm and said to the people, "Mr. Eddard, this is a wisdom elixir - according to the people of the ash tree, it can improve people's cognitive abilities in a short time, and gain experience and knowledge from the wisdom of the ancient tree. ”

"And each of these blades is fifty experience. The task set out by the Greytree is to clear the class, and for each disordered minion killed, three Elder Leaves are rewarded; Kill one of the Disordered Guardians (Constructed Cancer) and reward 30 Elder Leaves; Kill an Overseer of Disorder and reward 250 leaves. ”

Fifty points of experience, Fang Yu thought to himself that this experience was not much, it was a very junior type of experience elixir. It's only suitable for newcomers from the first to third levels, but due to the large number of rewards, it can still be worth a lot of money if you sell it.

After all, there are not a few new people on Earth who enter Attaria every year, and even if there is one per person, the demand for this leaf is not small. If the Elder Leaf were a specialty here, it might be better to sell.

And there is such a thing as experience medicine, which can also be used by the aborigines.

"But what if you kill the crystal?"

Parker couldn't help but start talking nonsense again.

"If you kill a crystal, the reward is 10,000 leaves. In addition, it is said that the tree people opened the so-called, named ??? 's Mystery Reward. ”

"What else?"

"Besides," the walnut took a deep breath, "if someone gets a total of a hundred leaves as a recognition of the Holy Land, the Greytree people will sell them some of the specialties that are only found in the Holy Land. ”

"Wait a minute," Fang Yu couldn't help but interrupt him, "Surely the tree people have divided a few ladders for it, and when we get more leaves, they will discount it for us, right?" ”

Although the walnut in the ground didn't answer, it still looked at him with a surprised look, meaning Mr. Ed, how do you know?

Tang Xin rolled her eyes slightly, and finally couldn't help but speak: "...... This Treeheart-sama is really interesting, and it really expects the Elector to kill the Ancient Guardian with 10,000 leaves, and ??? Reward, it can be said that I know the heart of the Elector, but unfortunately most people are afraid that they don't have the life to take this reward-"

"At least it sounds a little more real...... Fang Yuan couldn't help but laugh a little, thinking that this Lord of the Heart of the Tree wasn't a little interesting," ...... After all, it can't be said to be good, you're no match for that person at all, so just wait for death, can you? ”

"The so-called sounding truth is just sending people to death." Tang Xin shook her head, and she didn't know why there were always so many stupid people in this world.

But Fang Yu had a different opinion from her, because even if no one deceived, it could not stop the Elect from dying. They are always active on the front lines of the most dangerous ones, taking chestnuts from the fire and reaping rewards that seem insignificant to others.

Because sometimes these people may not be in the reward itself, but just enjoying the process.

As one of those people in this category, he could understand a little bit.

"Wait," but Sky Blue noticed the blind spot at this point, "Walnut, what do you mean by each leaf?" ”

The walnut in the ground turned to look at her, nodded and said, "...... That's exactly what I'm going to say, this leaf is different from other wisdom potions. Because it can be used repeatedly, experience hardly decays, but it is very special - only those who have been approved by the heart of the tree can eat this leaf. ”

All of a sudden, there was a terrible silence.

Even Tang Xin turned her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, although she was not optimistic about many of her stupid cousin's behaviors, it didn't mean that she didn't understand the world.

In fact, on the contrary, in some details, she even knows more about the world than Fang Yu.

Fang Yu was also opening his mouth - he had thought that the Treant was planning to use this leaf as a general equivalent, allowing adventurers to buy some materials or magical items that were special to this place by obtaining and then consuming them.

As an experience potion, although the leaves only have a bonus of fifty experience points, they are also valuable in their own right, at least in the outside area.

So that it doesn't look like a white bar.

But if the leaf can be used multiple times without decaying experience, then it means something different.

It's just a very simple multiplication operation, and Fang Yu almost immediately went through it in his mind, 10,000 leaves, that's 500,000 experience.

What is this concept?

It is enough for a person who has just come to this world to be directly promoted to the same level as Parker now. Although such an improvement will hardly bring the same combat power, it can at least allow a newcomer to exert the strength of the level of fourteen or fifteen.

Of course, killing crystals may not be realistic, but it is still possible to accumulate Elder Leaves by killing Minions of Order or enemies of this level of Guard.

And according to the walnut in the ground, this leaf can only be used by those who have been approved by the heart of the tree, which means that it can hardly be resold.

Fang Yu was almost a little tempted for a while, if it weren't for the Seven Seas Traveler still outside, he would have wanted to stay here for a while to brush up on the 'prestige' of the tree people before leaving.

And it is conceivable that the value of such a precious leaf in exchange for something will not be much worse.

He thought that this was just the prototype of a poor adventure camp, but he didn't expect it to be a big piece of fat, and he didn't expect the Greytree people to have such a killer feature.

"Or," Parker's eyes sparkled, "I think we'll do a few missions here before we go, and I think what Elder Grayskin asked us to investigate would be quite in line with our purpose, wouldn't it?" ”

"Parker, you're such a money-obsessed, hopeless fellow," Azure sighed, "What about your position?" ”

"What's the use of a stance like that," replied the Papalal, cheekily, "the Papalals have everything, but they just don't have a stand." ”

His voice was so arrogant that it attracted the attention of others.

But to be honest, Fang Yu did have some heartbeats.

According to Walnut Underground, the Greytree people have also announced a number of quests, and not every one of them is as difficult as investigating the 'Breath of Darkness'.

They can complete a few by the way, after all, no one can reward this kind of thing, right? Moreover, with the strength of the Seven Seas Brigade, it is a lot higher than the other Drafters who stayed here, and it is not impossible for them to farm monsters here before the support arrives.

Fang Yu was thinking about it, but suddenly he saw a brilliant light in his afterglow, rising into the sky from a distance, almost illuminating the top of the underground cave.

"Someone in front has been attacked!"

The men of the Seven Seas Brigade heard a shout coming from the other side of the river:

"It's those monsters!"

"There are so many of them!"

"Everyone, get ready to defend—"

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't expect Cao Cao Cao to arrive, and the other party actually came to the door.

But after so many battles, the people of the Seven Seas Brigade were no longer what they used to be, and they drew their weapons with the quickest reaction and found the nearest hiding place in one fell swoop.

And Fang Yu himself didn't want to think about it, so he tore a clockwork fairy from behind the belt with his backhand and threw it to the thorns in front of him.

He pulled down the goggles, and under his control, the silverbee spread its wings and flew away into the withered woodland in the distance.

But it was at this time that a voice came from the side:

"Wait, friend, Battlecraftsman?"

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, wearing eyeglasses, and looked over with the remaining eye, only to find that it was the bard who was holding the lute before.
