Chapter 6: Masquerade
The combination of dragons and halflings is somewhat funny, halflings are just a symbolic statement, in fact, the height of halflings cannot be only half of normal humans, generally speaking, there are always about two or three meters, but dragons are naturally tall and mighty, and Yang Hai's strength of 22 points gives him a good figure, so at first glance it seems that halflings are really only half of his height. Yang Hai asked the halfling to lead the way in front of him, "After talking about it for so long, I still don't know your ID?" β
"My name is Wood." The halfling muttered.
"Wood?" Yang Hai thinks this ID is quite interesting.
"It's not wood, it's wood!" The halfling said angrily: "By the way, I still don't know the ID of Big Brother Lu Dao?" β
"Don't you know that the ID of the Dao master can't be revealed casually?" Yang Hai said with a smile.
"Cut-" Wood rolled his eyes, "You're not a poseidon, there's something you can't reveal." β
Yang Hai immediately became interested: "Why are you so sure that I am not poseidon?" β
"Please, big brother, do you have a little common sense?" Wood looked a little impatient: "Boss Poseidon is the head of the Dark Chamber of Commerce, and there are countless amounts of money coming in every minute, and now Poseidon must be busy completely dominating the Tyrannosaurus Clan, how can people have time to run around the Dragon Coast?" Besides, big brother, your dress is so earthy, it's completely different from Boss Poseidon alas. Also, the two one-handed swords used by Boss Poseidon and your weapon - hehe. It's so strange, a sword and a dagger, but it's ingenious. β
Yang Hai touched his nose, snorted, and said, "In addition to poseidon, there are still other masters in the dragon clan. β
"Blake is actually okay." Wood was a little absent-minded: "Other than that, there is no one in the dragon clan who is worth paying attention to. β
Yang Hai almost laughed angrily. Rubbing the head of the wood: "My day, your kid's tone is not small, but this strength is too weak." β
Mu looked at Yang Hai angrily and helplessly.
tmdγ It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and Lao Tzu will endure this tone for the time being.
"Children's families, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. Do you know the way? Yang Hai said very shamelessly: "Although the boss of Poseidon is handsome and handsome, there are other very powerful people in the dragon clan. β
"Oh? Is that so? Mu asked expressionlessly: "I don't know what kind of name Brother Lu Dao has made, let's hear it?" β
This...... Yang Hai was choked.
Rub, despised by a little child.
Wood tilted his mouth and asked, "What does Big Brother want to know about Ivan Tholl City?" β
Yang Hai smiled and said, "I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat first?" Find me a tavern with a bit of class. β
Wood looked around, pointed to a wall in the city, and said, "There's a tavern there, and this tavern is really special. I just don't know if Brother Lu Dao dares to enter. β
Yang Hai was suddenly surprised: "What?" A tavern is a tavern, and it is divided into ordinary and special? After speaking, I felt a little unhappy to be despised by children: "Hey, I'm not bragging to you, there is really no Longtan tiger's den in this continent that I dare not break into, let alone a small tavern." I've been to even the dragon's lair, and I'm still a brother to that dragon. β
Mu opened his mouth wide and looked at Yang Hai with a dull gaze, as if he couldn't believe that there was such a shameless person in this world.
What Yang Hai said was actually the truth, but Mu Tou definitely wouldn't believe itβeven if he changed to someone who didn't know the situation, he probably wouldn't believe it. Because there is no difference between Yang Hai's tone and bragging, if you have to say the difference, it is that braggarts rarely blow such a drumming cowhide.
After speaking, Yang Hai looked at the wall that the wood was pointing to, but it was just an ordinary wall.
"Where's the tavern?" Yang Hai looked around blankly.
Wood bit his lip, he couldn't believe that his first mistake was actually planted in the hands of such a 2b.
Never mind...... I endure!
Mu sighed and explained, "Big brother, this is the Dragon Coast, and it's not at all the same as Wanghai Cliff. Your eyes will lie to you here, and you better be vigilant. So saying, Wood walked up to the wall and said, "Follow me." β
He knocked on a few bricks, and Yang Hai was keenly aware that the wall's transformation technique had been triggered, and the wood looked back at him with an indescribable look, and then crashed headlong into the wall.
Then the person disappeared.
Yang Hai's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to underestimate this elementary school student a little. Although this guy's strength is really weak, he seems to be familiar with this Avansor City?
Yang Hai didn't think much about it, more monster primary school students, such as Zhang Ben, such as Zhao Mengxiong, he has seen it, compared with Chen Zhou Ershao, the primary school student in front of him is limited even if he is a demon.
Yang Hai followed Mu into this mysterious tavern.
The light suddenly changed from bright to dim, which made Yang Hai feel a little uncomfortable.
He could only tell that this was a rather large hall, and then he could faintly see the front desk and a few figures, the eerie tavern was a little empty, and there was no usual tavern noise, and every guest sitting here was silent and silent, and they were also sitting far away from each other.
Yang Hai was a little puzzled, the light in this room didn't know who designed it, and he didn't know where it came from, anyway, it was only enough to barely see. Fortunately, Yang Hai's equipment has added a few dark characteristics, which gives him a certain night vision, and high perception also brings him more acute senses, so his vision is okay.
Yang Hai subconsciously glanced at the doom pendulum on his wrist, on which were written two big words: safety. This made Yang Hai's heart relax temporarily.
The warning of the Pendulum of Doom is biased towards the PVE attribute, and its warning will be slightly dull for threats from the player, unless there is a huge gap between the two sides, such as when the Smile chairman is wearing the Destiny Clock when facing Yang Hai. The clock reminds him how far he has to run. Since the pendulum of doom didn't warn, it meant that there was no danger in this spooky bar, or even if it was, it wouldn't threaten him. In fact, Yang Hai only needs a pendulum to prompt the threat of PVE, because Yang Hai doesn't believe that there are other players on the mainland who can inflict any decent blows on him, and it would be good if he didn't go to find trouble with others.
He sat down at an empty table with the wood, and looked at it with interest. I wonder what this little guy brought himself to this place for?
At a glance, it is clear that the road is definitely not a good place to go, and the wood is so familiar with this place, it seems that the wood is in the mouth of "For the city of Ivanthor." At least recognize the way" is still a bit modest. Wood beckoned the waiter to hand over the menu, and handed the menu to Yang Hai.
Yang Hai looked at the menu and suddenly gasped.
There is no other reason. These dishes are simply too luxurious. He even saw dishes like braised dragon meat on it, and now the general level of players is still relatively low, so high-level ingredients are hard to find, which also leads to the fact that the current life profession of chef is generally not high. The menu is clearly marked with the special effect of braised dragon meat - after eating, it will increase agility by 1 point within two hours, and there are many similar dishes with different additional attributes.
Yang Hai had heard of many materials, but he regarded them as alchemy materials, and never thought that they could be used to make dishes to satisfy his appetite.
And the price behind it is undoubtedly extremely expensive, after all, raising a nursery is a long-term investment. Yang Hai still has plenty of money, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid it would be embarrassing today - he confidently brought his little brother to dinner, but found that the money he brought was not enough...... This and this......
Wood chuckled and said, "Big brother can choose to pay the bill in cash." You can also choose to do tasks to pay, depending on what the big brother plans. Wood said as he pointed to the wall above the counter.
The walls were inlaid with a slab of spar with text messages scrolling on it, and it was one task after another.
"One meal per mission." Wood wrote snow devil fish soup and fire jasmine shortbread on the menu, and said, "Today, big brother is coming to Ivantall City for the first time. I'm in for a treat for this meal. β
"I can't see it, boy, you're quite rich, huh?" Yang Hai glanced at the wood in surprise, but he was not polite, and ordered a few dishes.
Wood smiled but didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "How did the eldest brother come all the way from Dragon Valley here?" Dragon's Shore, hmph, this is not a good place to go. β
"Is that so?" Yang Hai said with a smile: "But I heard that this is a paradise for adventurers. I'm here to try my luck. β
Wood scolded in his heart: "If the goddess Taimora really let good luck favor a mallet like you, then she is really blind." On the surface, he remained silent, and still asked curiously: "But there should always be a plan and a clue, right?" β
Yang Hai nodded and said, "I'm going to come here to visit the alchemy master, Ji Fan?" Seljan, improve my skills. β
Wood raised his eyebrows and said, "Huh? Was Big Brother's first life career alchemy? β
"yes, what?" Yang Hai asked.
Wood's contempt for Yang Hai deepened: "Boss, haven't you read the Vault Dweller's strategy written by Boss Poseidon ?" β
Yang Hai was at a loss.
Seeing this, Mu shook his head secretly and began to give Yang Hai a literacy: "Boss Poseidon wrote a strategy for the Dark Vault Dweller. As mentioned in the Raiders, it is best for the Dark Vault Dweller to choose Engineering as a life class, as the Engineering Golem is a good complement to the Vault Dweller who are strong head-on but lack the means to take a detour. Please, haven't you read this guide from Boss Poseidon ? β
Yang Hai opened his mouth, snorted for a long time, and said: "That, I remember what Poseidon said in the strategy, his life career is alchemy?" β
"Yes, people have chosen alchemy!" Wood shook his head: "Big brother, how dare you compare yourself with Boss Poseidon Ah, Boss Poseidon dares to choose alchemy because he already has a god pet like Thor, and he doesn't need an engineering metal puppet to assist him in combat, do you also have a dragon pet?" β
Yang Hai didn't know how to answer, obviously he couldn't say that I had it, and it was not easy to say that I didn't. It's very tangled.
"And Given? Master Seljan is a great master-level alchemist who has been closed for a hundred years! Mu sighed, he felt a little sorry for Yang Hai: "Do you know how many closed doors he has sent since the beginning of the game?" Given? Master Seljan is not an NPC that players can access at this stage, Boss, didn't you prepare before you came to the Dragon Coast? β
Yang Hai shrugged his shoulders and said, "I know that there may indeed be some difficulties in the Dao, but the rejection of others does not mean that I will not be able to see Ji Fan's face!" β
Wood is too lazy to say. Shake your head and bow your head to eat.
The wood didn't want to speak, but Yang Hai was very interested in this child. He asked, "Boy, you talk about game theory from the beginning, and it seems that you usually care about game information." β
"Hmm." Wood replied briefly.
Yang Hai said with a smile: "It's a pity that although the theoretical knowledge is rich. However, the practical ability still needs to be improved. β
Wood rolled his eyes.
"By the way, you kid is fortunate to have met me today," Yang Hai smiled and flicked the wood again: "If you change to someone else, you will already be offline to reflect at this time." Tell you, thieves are a high-risk and high-return business, you have to pick the target, and next time don't provoke those you can't afford to provoke. β
Wood pinched his nose and nodded.
At this moment, a thin human youth walked over and whispered, "Wood-"
"Let me introduce you." Wood interrupted the young man without saying anything: "This. It's my new big brother. β
Just kidding, the grandson who has been pretending to be for so long has not yet come up with any useful information, how can he be exposed halfway?
The young man's pupils widened and his mouth opened. The guy apparently thought he had misheard. Tremblingly asked, "P...... pppardonοΌ β
"This is my eldest brother." Wood accentuated his tone: "By the way, Ali, Lu Han has something to look for you, and he asked me to tell you, as if he said something not to meddle in your affairs or something, and I don't know the specific situation." You'd better ask, right? β
The young man's expression was like constipation, he licked his lips and stammered, "Lu Han? β
"yes, that guy is scary." Wood shrugged his shoulders and squinted, "If I were you, I wouldn't offend him." β
The young man finally reacted, his face turned pale, and said, "This ...... I'm going to go right away. β
After saying that, he left in a panic.
"Why is this guy inexplicable?" Yang Hai asked confusedly.
"I'm scared, Lu Han is terrible." Wood said meaningfully.
Yang Hai shook his head and asked, "By the way, wood, do you know anything about the player power of Ivan Turtle City?" β
"Player power?" Mu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a contemplative expression appeared on his face, and said slowly: "These things should have been mentioned on the forum, right?" I remember that the Dragon Coast has a special section on the forum, didn't the big brother take a closer look? β
"The news on BBS is too confusing." Yang Hai frowned and said: "It's all xxx I'm going to kill your whole family, or provoke, or advertise or something, and the official only pve introduction - to be honest, I really don't have the patience to read all the posts on the forum, so I only read a small part of the valuable." β
"Even if you only read some essence posts, the eldest brother should know something, right?"
"But it's certainly not as deep as you, a local."
Mu Tou was noncommittal to Yang Hai's question, and said, "Big brother, what are you asking the player to do?" β
"Well, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake." Yang Hai smiled: "Besides, sometimes it is inevitable to have conflicts with others, so it's better to be mentally prepared in advance, isn't it?" β
"That's right." Mu touched his chin and looked like a little adult: "Then tell me, big brother, do you know which players in Ivan Tho City are powerful?" β
"Well, I heard that the stronger ones are the Iron Legion, the Alpha Guild, and the Jebe Mercenary Regiment......" Yang Hai searched for his memories, counted them one by one, and asked the wood after counting: "It should be these, right?" β
"These?" Wood showed a smile of unknown meaning: "Big brother, you should pay attention to the informal organization. In places like the Dragon Coast, the power of informal organizations is also very strong. β
Yang Hai raised his eyebrows: "Informal organization? β
"Yes, there is an informal organization in Evantall City called the Masquerade Council." Wood's voice was low: "All members of the organization are made up of elite thieves, and all of the members of this organization wear masks, a mask that will never be detected by any means. β
Yang Hai said categorically: "Impossible! All deception spells have a higher priority to crack spells, even if the mask is doneβ"
"The function of the mask is to disguise," the wood grinned silently, "Disguise can be done with spells or without spells." I've heard that this group likes to peel human skin directly from the faces of living people to make masks that can be worn vividly on the face without being detected by spells. The members of this group will always have a human skin mask on their faces, and they will never appear in their true form - and, I heard from a friend, this group controls almost all of the elite thieves in Ivanthor City, which is terrifying. The smile on Wood's face became even stronger: "Big brother, I advise you, don't offend the people of the Masquerade Council, otherwise you will be miserable." β
Yang Hai frowned and whistled: "Yo, do you know a lot of things?" But these things can't be rumors, right? β
Mu said softly: "I don't know the specific situation, but it's groundless, it's not for nothing." It's just rumored that the Masquerade Council exists. Wood raised his head and stared at the ceiling of the extremely dimly lit bar, his voice low as dreamy, "But no outsider knows where the headquarters of the Masquerade Council is, and where the members of the Council gather. I think they must have a very secret base, you say? β
Yang Hai narrowed his eyes ......)
