Chapter 107: Soft Stone Carved Doll
When he saw Cologne, Yang Hai didn't even dare to believe that this half-snake man was the son of the shrewd and powerful old half-snake man just now. Cologne is a young half-snake man, and Yang Hai is not sure what the social structure of the half-snake man is, but it seems that Cologne should be Hetu's grandson.
Cologne is a strong, half-snake man who doesn't look like a sacrifice and more like a warrior. Sacrifices are not the same as mage warlocks, for example, many sacrifices are proficient in some side weapons, such as the snake head whip (such as the sacrifice of the spider queen), or the thorn hammer (such as the sacrifice of Shiloh), and some excessive sacrifices can even learn parrying skills from their own trainers.
But after all, the sacrifice belongs to the caster, and Cologne is as strong as a stone, and he is not a person who can inherit the mantle of Hetu no matter how you look at it.
The same bloodline has a different fate.
This was Yang Hai's first reaction after seeing Cologne.
Yang Hai didn't know what Lu Dao looked like for a half-snake man to be handsome, and what he looked like ugly, anyway, that face looked similar to him. It's just that the expression on Cologne's face is simple, no matter how you look at it, it's not a material to perform a guard task, I don't know why Lu Daohetu would choose such a person.
Soon Yang Hai knew the truth.
This Cologne doesn't just look like a stone, he's actually a stone at all, hard and inflexible.
After he came to Yang Hai's side, he was silent, expressionless, he immediately followed Yang Hai wherever he went, and he would never pull out a distance of three steps, as if it was a shadow. Yang Hai talked to him, but he didn't answer, as if he was angry, silent, and there was no expression on his face.
Yang Hai was annoyed when he met such a guard, looking at the little wizard fire floating above the dark "sky" of the hand of revenge for lighting.
Colon is the kind of NPC who feels at a glance that there must be no quest for him, such a stone man, he can't even open his mouth, let alone take on the task.
But Cologne is still useful.
Yang Hai could feel the deep hatred that these half-snake people exuded towards him here, the hand of revenge was very large, but it was a little empty, and there were probably only five or six hundred half-snake people living here. No matter where he went, Yang Hai could feel the hateful gaze that fell on him, obviously these half-snake people were very dragon people. If Co Long hadn't been by his side, Yang Hai felt that even if Hetu had given an order, he would have been assassinated a long time ago.
The Hand of Vengeance is divided into three levels, the lowest floor is where mushrooms are grown, the middle floor is the living quarters and training grounds, and the upper floor is the leaders' meeting chamber. The structure of the Hand of Vengeance is simple and rudimentary, but in such harsh conditions, these half-snake people can no longer be expected to do better.
Looking at the empty and oppressive shadows in this mountain wall, Yang Hai felt that the half-snake people were really a tough race to be able to thrive here for a thousand years for a belief. But no matter how tenacious they are, they must have a goal and a motivation to support them to keep going.
Where does this motivation come from?
The most dangerous place is the safest place, these half-snake people are smart, but what are they up to, and why will they stop hiberning and unite with the Brotherhood of the Book of the Moon?
Yang Hai had a vague feeling that this time the half-snake man might have found a way to return to the sun.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have risked scaring the Moonbook Brotherhood.
Yang Hai thought about it and continued to walk in the hand of revenge to observe the environment. It's not comfortable to be stared at with hatred, but getting familiar with the environment is something that must be done, and in a short period of time, there is no need to think about the mission from Cologne. In that case, you might be able to find a way from other half-snake NPCs.
However, Yang Hai reluctantly found that the half-snake NPC here had an attitude towards him that he was eager to drink his blood and eat his flesh, not to mention the task, if he dared to step forward, it would be good if he didn't give him a knife.
Bewildered.
Yang Hai sighed.
He didn't know that at the top of the Hand of Vengeance, the leaders of the three half-snake men were watching him through the crystal ball.
Two of them were Zachar and Hetu, and the other leader was the captain of the Scaleguard, the half-snake people's ace spy organization. The three leaders watched as Yang Hai walked around here, and both Zarosh and Hetu frowned. ,
"I'm relieved that little Cologne is staring at him." "But, Prophet, we don't have time to pay attention to such a person. You might as well focus on the more important things. ”
"No, if this young man was just a dragon, of course I wouldn't pay so much attention to him." Hetu's narrow eyes flashed: "However, he is Calderon's apprentice, he is a disciple of Evans, and this is a matter of great significance. ”
Zarosh and Sachar looked at each other.
"The Brotherhood of the Book of the Moon may have to leave, and we will be left alone again." Hetu condensed: "However, things may not take a turn for the better. ”
-------------
Players flock to the main city and begin their daily quests, causing problems for the Tomb Robbers of the Brotherhood of the Moonbook. Death in the mission is not the same as being PK to death or being bitten to death by a monster in the wild, death in ordinary tasks only drops half of the experience under normal circumstances, and death in daily tasks simply does not drop experience, players are not afraid, no matter how high the level of these tomb robbers is, I am not afraid of death, can you bear me? Of course, the daily tasks announced by Wanghai Cliff are very targeted, and the entire Wanghai Cliff has been turned upside down by excited players. You can get dragon bone fragments by doing daily tasks, and the fragments can not only be exchanged for equipment, but also 100 fragments can be exchanged for 1 point of dragon reputation, where can you find such a good thing? Although you can only get 8 shards by completing all the tasks every day, the rope is sawed and the wood is broken, and the water drops are worn through the stones. The preciousness of prestige has now been recognized, and it is so difficult to gain the prestige of one's own race, and people will definitely not let go of such an opportunity.
In this way, the marmots of the Brotherhood of the Book of the Moon are immediately restricted, and they are not good.
On the third floor of the Hand of Vengeance, Hetu said, those of the Brotherhood of the Book of the Moon are preparing to leave, which is also the reason. Of course, places like Wanghai Cliff are not for those people to come and go whenever they want, so players still have daily tasks to do.
Those professional gamers who come to the real high-end of Wanghai Cliff will definitely not be satisfied with just doing the day-to-day. Daily life is an opportunity, most of them can do daily life, only when you receive a special task, or a hidden task, and participate in the main story, you can get the most benefits.
There are many people who have this calculation in their hearts, and TIGER is one of them.
TIGER is looking for clues about hidden tasks and solving daily tasks easily, while thinking about what Yang Hai is doing.
-------------
Yang Hai was turning in circles in the hand of revenge on the second floor, and Cologne, who followed behind, didn't say anything, and he was still very puzzled in his heart. He didn't know what this guy was doing here, for Cologne, although he had always been silent, but every time he went on a mission, he would be extremely attached to the warm sun and blue sky outside. There were times when he even wanted to leave like that, from this dark and oppressive place, but for the sake of his people, he eventually came back.
But it seems that this dragon man seems to be very interested in everything here.
Yang Hai was walking in the residential area of the half-snake people.
Even if the living environment is extremely harsh for them, not everyone in these half-snake people is a warrior, and there will always be some people who are helpless. Although these strong half-snake people were still very hostile to Yang Hai, when they saw Yang Hai coming, they avoided it more than they glared angrily like those warriors.
Yang Hai wasn't so bored that he was wandering around here, he was extremely sure that there would be a mission here, but he hadn't found it yet.
Seeing Yang Hai coming from a distance, a half-snake woman called her child back in a hurried half-snake language, as if Yang Hai would suddenly jump over and kill him with a knife when he passed by. The child heard his mother's call, and saw Yang Hai over there coming over, with a look of hatred and fear in his eyes, and hurriedly ran to his mother.
Yang Hai looked at it from afar and sighed.
The child was holding a small soft stone doll in his hand, and his body that became unstable as the child ran shook and trembled, and the doll was held tightly by the child, and the sweet smile on his face became distorted by the clenching of the little hands that were too hard. ,
When the child ran over an uneven stone field, he tripped over a small rock and fell to the ground, causing the stone doll to slide with it. But the child did not notice it, he struggled to get up, and was still running desperately.
Yang Hai looked stunned.
In the past, he had only heard from various sources how the Half-Snake people hated and feared the dragon invaders, but no matter how much he heard about it, he couldn't compare to his own experience. He had already felt the hostile gaze along the way, but in front of this little child, suddenly, Yang Hai felt that it seemed that the hostility that was clearly expressed was no longer worth mentioning.
He remembered the numb expressions of the soldiers on the blood wing rings again.
It was a look of nonchalance, a look of hopelessness.
Pyrot, you have destroyed the thousand-year-old hopes of both races for your own ambitions. You are not worthy to be a god, and you are not worthy to erect your own statue on the road to heaven for your people to admire. You are a god on the spine of the world, but you still set up a well-dressed tomb for yourself, and you have occupied the thousand-year-old faith of the dragon people, what have you brought to the dragon clan? What did you bring to the Half-Snake Man?
Suddenly, an inexplicable anger surged into Yang Hai's heart.
He walked briskly up.
Ke Long was startled, he didn't know if he should pull Yang Hai, he reached out and pressed Yang Hai's shoulder, but before he could use force, he was slapped away by Yang Hai.
Yang Hai stepped forward and walked towards the doll.
The child was about to run to his mother's side, only to find that his doll had fallen. The child cried out in a hurry.
Mother is calling urgently.
Yang Hai got closer and closer.
Suddenly, the child turned around and ran quickly towards his doll, but as soon as he was halfway through, Yang Hai leaned over and picked it up.
The child suddenly stood in place at a loss, his eyes were extremely dazed, and Nobuko stretched weakly, tears rolling in his eyes. He wanted to go up and get his doll back, but he didn't dare.
Cologne was angry and couldn't believe that this dragon man was bullying his own people in front of his eyes? He wanted to drink and order Yang Hai to return the doll to the child, but he didn't usually say it, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The mother was still calling hoarsely, but the child stood stubbornly. He was crying, he was scared, but he didn't have any intention of backing down.
He was walking towards Yang Hai step by step, walking a little slowly, a little hesitant, a little staggering, he was still crying, but he was walking, and his steps were getting faster and faster, more and more determined.
Yang Hai waited there.
The child still walked in front of him after the last day.
"Put ...... Give it to me, and give it back...... Give me. ”
The child obviously doesn't know the dragon language, and he stumbles over the lingua franca. After he finished speaking, he looked at Yang Hai stubbornly.
Yang Hai squatted down and said softly in a half-snake language: "You have to answer my question first." ”
Cologne's eyes widened. This man actually speaks the language of a half-snake man?
The child's lips pursed tightly.
"Why aren't you afraid of me?" Yang Hai asked.
"Duckley is a brave half-snake warrior!" The little guy held back the tears rolling in his eyes: "Daklie is not afraid of the bad guys of the dragon clan!" ”
Yang Hai returned the doll to Duckley, and then took off his own necklace, the green necklace that increased physical damage obtained in the Death Swamp. Under the surprised gaze of the little one, the necklace was placed around his neck.
"I am a dragon, a Vault Dweller. I'm also a warrior, a bad guy in your eyes. Yang Hai looked into little Dacree's eyes and said, "This necklace is a reward for your courage." One of my elders once said that raising a butcher's knife to the weak is not courage, but showing the sword like the strong is courage, and you deserve admiration. ”
Little Ducklie's eyes were brightening, no one had ever said these things to him, and since he was born, all he had heard was a mission back into the sun, and how horrible and evil those dragons were.
"Hope this helps." Yang Hai smiled and patted little Dacree's shoulder. "Maybe one day, you'll understand what Tidria said. Race is not a sin, and we should not judge a person lightly by race. ”
He stood up and walked on, Cologne still following him.
Cologne had been watching silently from behind, and at first he felt that this dragon man was very unpleasant—he felt that all dragon people were not pleasing to the eye, but this time, he felt that at least this dragon man was not as bad as he imagined. ,
This scene was also seen by the three half-snake leaders who had been watching the crystal ball.
"As I said, this dragon is different." Hetu's eyes sparkled. "Don't look at his low strength, there are some things that you don't see as clearly as him." As he spoke, Hetu gave a command to the guards. "Call this young dragon, I have something to tell him."
Inside the hand of revenge, walking and walking, Cologne suddenly called out to Yang Hai.
"Thank you, stranger."
Yang Hai turned his head, looked at the stone man who had just said the first sentence to him, and made a decision.
"Cologne, take me to your father, Hetu. I have something to say to him. Yang Hai said seriously.
Neither Pyrrot nor Saxusi are worthy of respect, and the clash of ambitions between them leads to the tragedy of both races. The insensitivity and irrational fanaticism of the dragons, the see-light and irrational hatred of the half-snake people, both races are innocent and they should not be.
He decided to spread out with Hetu and said that as for whether Hetu believed him or not, he could only resign himself to the fate of heaven.
Two lines flashed through his journal.
Your reputation among the Half-Snake has been increased by 500.
Your reputation among the Half-Snake Race has increased to Hostile.
Yang Hai had a general idea in his heart, now, the half-snake people need an ally, and it just so happens that the people of the Brotherhood of the Book of the Moon are preparing to retreat, and these half-snake people must have a plan to create chaos among the dragon clan. Speaking of creating chaos, what could be better to create chaos within the dragons than with the dragons guarding the guards? The team was in the hands of Prince Seren, and he was in need of chaos, and his purpose was self-evident.
It's just that this is difficult, the surviving half-snake people have abandoned Sacusi, but the rule of Pyrot is still deeply entrenched among the dragons. If he decides to help the half-snake man, he can only use his strength to fight, but he can't make a direct move. Otherwise, I am afraid that Prince Seren will not only not help him, but will also directly banish him from the dragon clan.
In any case, he could not let anyone find out that he had anything to do with the half-snake people, not even Calderón. It was a very difficult road, but Yang Hai decided to go on it.
He was thinking about how to explain to Hetu in the most appropriate words, and what kind of reward he could get.
If Yang Haizhi explained the daily tasks released by the dragon clan now, he would understand that in this main line, he decided to help the half-snake people, in fact, he had already stood on the opposite side with almost all players. However, even so, Yang Hai is afraid that he will not change his original mind even if he knows the Tao.
It's just that before he could get Cologne's reply, the system had already begun to forcibly go offline.
The time for the game is over.
Yang Hai got up from the health cabin and found that he was still in the Nebula Water Pavilion.
