Chapter 5: Halflings
I've been writing this book for two years, and when I think about it, it seems that I haven't really added much more.\\Well, in response to the request of flyskyyou, I decided to add a few more chapters in the past two days.
In skirmishes, there is no doubt about the importance and cohesion of the leader, and if even the pirate group that has lost its head cannot cope with it, then the Leaf of the Black Ray does not deserve to be mixed up to this point.
By the time dawn broke, the sailors had already begun to wash the blood from their blades. The battle was over, and although the enemy was repelled safely, the casualties of the sailors were not optimistic.
Yang Haicai didn't care about these things, he had already seen that those sailors were unhappy. Even if these people are all hung - well, not all of them, the ship has not yet docked, and if too many sailors die, the situation will become very troublesome.
He is now counting his loot.
Yang Hai now understands the mentality of those players who choose to fight treasure and get rich overnight, although it is impossible for him to kill a level 60 boss and get rich overnight with two major artifacts in his hand, but the harvest is still satisfactory.
He collected the corpse of the chief steward, and first collected a letter, Yang Hai read it, this letter was a blackmail letter, and from the content, it was speculated that it should be a certain noble lady on the Dragon Coast who was naughty and went out to pick mushrooms by herself, and then fell into the hands of the pirates. The Steward presented the noble lady to the Pirate King Bill, but the Pirate King clearly loved treasure more than beautyโof course. It's also possible that the young lady's appearance is too sorry for the audience - so he wrote this ransom letter. Demand a huge ransom.
It's just that this letter has not been sent out of the hands of the chief manager, and the chief executive himself died tragically in the hands of Yang Hai. Accompanying the letter was a delicate jewel necklace, which looked like it belonged to the noblelady's personal belongings, in order to win the trust of the noblelady's family.
These two things are obviously mission items, but Yang Hai is not very interested in such tasks, and he is not afraid of provoking the Pirate King - of course, Pirate King Bill? Walter he certainly can't afford to mess with. According to the information obtained on the forum, this fierce pirate king is also at least level ninety, and he is also a warrior. Yang Hai can now bully a mage with a higher rank than himself. You have to wait for the vacuum period of other people's skills, if the chief manager is a level sixty warrior, then Yang Hai will not even have the slightest chance last night, this is not to say that the strength of the warrior is higher than that of the spellcaster. In fact, this is determined by the characteristics of the profession. The warrior has strong skin and flesh, a sharp body, and superb skills, and he can also know what the possibility of Yang Hai and Thor wanting to join forces to kill a high-level warrior in seconds is with his ass. If he couldn't make a move, he, a level twenty-seventh, little banisher, would be no more funny than a bad joke in the eyes of others.
But this is not the main reason why Yang Hai is unwilling to do this task, he has too many tasks on his body now - the promotion task of Erudito, the resurrection of Tidria, the resurrection of Leolek, the drawing of the continent, and the huge high-level primordial flow alchemy required to resurrect the two big guys, these things are enough to make him feel exhausted, and he never wants to touch other tasks in a foreign way. Although the game is work, after all, you still have to leave yourself a certain amount of leisure time.
Therefore, Yang Hai casually threw this task item into the ring. When the time comes, if it's a stop, do the task and see what surprises there are, if it's difficult, or if it takes a little longer...... That's it.
In addition to the quest items, the Steward also drops a few other things.
Torment of Shadows (White Jade Necklace): Purple quality, level 20 required.
+20% cast speed
+10% cooldown reduction
+3 Spell Accuracy
Equipment: Each spell you successfully cast will return 10% of the spell's mana cost to you, and if the spell successfully hits the target, it will return another 20% of the mana.
This piece of equipment gave Yang Hai a lot of surprises, in fact. He didn't think the manager would drop anything he could use. Yang Hai had considered the plan of occasionally disguising a mage to travel around the continent, but because the mana was really insufficient, and most importantly, the accuracy of the spell was really a problem, so Yang Hai decided not to change his body until he was helpless.
But this necklace gave Yang Hai hope again. The 20% fast cast spell and the 10% cooldown reduction are just icing on the cake, and the 3 spell accuracy and the equipment effect of mana return are the real attributes of the emergency. With this necklace. Then buy a few pieces of equipment with accurate spells, and Yang Hai, who has turned into a mage, has the confidence to fight even if he encounters those thieves who move sharply, of course, if he encounters a god who is as coquettish as Thor, then he can only honestly turn back into a Vault Dweller.
NPCs will only drop equipment that the player can use, with the exception of some very specific equipment, which is common knowledge in the Forgotten Continents. In addition to this necklace, there is nothing Yang Hai can use, so he has not been able to collect the ring that he is extremely greedy for, but this is also a helpless thing, maybe that ring is an item that the chief manager prayed to Talos through the altar, and even if it comes out, it is very likely that he will not be able to equip it due to special use requirements.
In addition to the necklace and quest items, Talos also contributed several magic scrolls to Yang Hai. It's normal to collect magic scrolls after killing a mage, but the quality of these scrolls is good. There are more useful acceleration magic, fireballs, and rainstorms, as well as a few paralyzing mist scrolls, and a valuable chain of lightning scrolls. Yang Hai is quite familiar with the chain of lightning, because Titan is a big reel wholesaler, and on the battlefield of the Dragon Clan, Titan doesn't know how many chain lightning bolts he hit, even if he is not familiar with it, he can't get it.
Although Yang Hai had prepared enough scrolls for him to impersonate as a mage before traveling to the continent, these scrolls were still a good addition, and the only fly in the ointment was that the spell casting technique of the Paralyzing Mist was relatively difficult. The reels are again something with one less one. There is no chance for him to practice with monsters first, and there is a possibility that he will drop the chain at a critical moment.
After counting the loot, Yang Hai walked from the cabin to the deck, and saw Thor holding a fish bigger than himself with a happy face, eating his mouth full of fine scales, and from time to time baring his teeth to frighten the sailors on the deck who were looking at him curiously.
Yesterday, the whole process of Thor giving the manager to play was broadcast live in front of many sailors, and even sailors who did not see Thor's bravery would stay away from this extraordinary beast by word of mouth from their companions. On the sea, strength is everything. Yesterday, Thor and Yang Hai assassinated the chief steward with one person and one dragon, and the mansion was tilted, and the fierce strength they showed had already convinced this group of villains. There was no more open-eyed sailor who dared to look at Yang Hai with that naked greedy gaze, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.
Yang Hai looked at the big fish in Thor's arms speechlessly, and asked President Morris, "Who gave it to him?" โ
Morris smiled, his pale smile a little oozing. Visually, you can play a chainsaw without makeup: "This little guy went to the sea to catch it by himself, and we don't have a fishing net, how can we catch such a big fish?" โ
When Thor saw Yang Hai coming, he immediately cheered, and swallowed the sea fish bigger than himself in two bites under the side eyes of everyone, and threw himself into Yang Hai's arms while spewing happy flames, arching vigorously.
Yang Hai was hit by Thor, took out an elemental crystal from the ring, Thor opened his mouth, and swallowed the crystal worth at least 30,000 federal guilders in one gulp.
"Well, you mischievous wretch!" Yang Hai laughed and hugged Thor. Pinching his fleshy face.
At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart.
As his body grows little by little, Thor becomes more and more able to eat, and he can't afford to support this guy if he doesn't find a way to make a little more money.
After this incident, the subsequent half-day trip can be described as smooth sailing. The smuggling ship docked at the harbor on the coast of the dragon without any danger.
Yang Hai had a good impression of President Morris, and in order to repay Yang Hai for saving his life, Morris insisted on not wanting the other half of the deposit. Yang Hai, who realized that he was going to raise Thor and that the economy might be more tight, was not hypocritical, accepted Morris's kindness, and after the two sides said goodbye amicably, Yang Hai got off the boat and stepped on the harbor.
At the moment of arrival here. Yang Haizhi said that he had officially taken the first step to travel to the mainland.
The port where he disembarked was a small city called Elversult, which Yang Hai learned from BBS was a bustling city on the south shore of the Dragon Lake, and because of its geographical location at the center of many trade routes, it became one of the most important cities on the Dragon Coast.
Although Avansor itself is not a port, its warehouses provide as far north as Cormyr. An excellent trade repository to the west of the Shores of the Sword. In Yang Hai's understanding, Ivantil is the least like the city of the entire Dragon Coast. This sentence seems a bit awkward, but that's what it means. Avansor refused, at least on the surface, and if anyone tried to misbehaved in broad daylight would provoke strong retribution, the city's ruler, Lady Yeshandara, would not allow Avansor to become as chaotic as her predecessor had been. Of course, this does not mean that Avansel is not criminal, conspiracy, evil trade, smuggling...... These things are nothing more than the customary official trade of the Dragon Coast going underground, and the order of the Dragon Coast that has lasted for centuries is certainly unlikely to change anytime soon, that's for sure.
Regardless, Evanthor's order is at least much better than the other cities on the Dragon's Coast.
This is the news that Yang Hai got from his geographical knowledge and the forum.
So after catching three thieves who tried to put their hands into his backpack along the way, Yang Hai had a deeper understanding of the overall situation on the Dragon Coast.
In the Forgotten Continents, thieves have the skill of pickpocketing. About pickpocketing this skill needs to be explained, this skill is special, his decisive attributes have two - agility and perception, agility makes thieves move quickly, perception makes thieves accurate; The same. There are also two confrontation attributes of pickpocketing skills. Perception allows the victim to spot the thief, and agility allows the victim to dodge the third hand of sin that reaches out from the shadows.
Also, pickpocketing is pickpocketing, pickpocketing is not robbery, so thieves can't take oversized items off the victim's body, such as armor, leg armor, weapons, etc. If the thief is so clever that he puts his hand under the victim's nose and does not react, then things like necklaces are also within the scope of pickpocketing.
Of course, items with non-pickpocketing properties cannot be stolen. Needless to say.
Pickpocketing is a well-established perverted skill, although a proficient pickpocketing thief needs to invest a lot of support skill points in this skill, which can lead to low combat effectiveness, and pickpocketing also requires great agility and perception to support. But despite the harsh conditions, a high-risk and high-reward skill like pickpocketing still attracts countless thieves, and thieves with three hands as their main business are all over the world on the Dragon Coast.
Needless to say, after the pickpocketing fails, the thief will fall into a stiff bad state, and it is easy to be countered by the owner. Regardless of whether the pickpocketing succeeds or fails, the pickpocket will be saddled with a PK value, but this PK value is one-sided, and the City Watch will not attack because of the one-sided PK value (unless the owner is special or has called the police), but the owner has the right to directly deal with the thief who is caught.
If the thief succeeds or fails, it's good if he can get away safely. But if you get caught, there are usually only two ends.
If you encounter some more merciful owners, you can return the lost property and take the money to buy your life, the current market price is generally double the gold coins that compensate for the lost property, of course, the thief can negotiate with the owner to settle, more compensation and less compensation, as long as the two sides can reach an agreement, how to say; If you encounter some less merciful owner...... Hehe, here is only one explanation: as long as the owner kills the thief. No matter what a thief steals, the lost property will always fall after death, and I think everyone knows that.
Since you dare to steal other people's things, of course, you must be prepared to be broken and crushed by the angry owner to feed the dog, which is very fair.
Take Yang Hai as an example. Yang Hai is clearly one of those less benevolent victims. He has a full 51 agility and 28 perception in the stats panel, which would be on a Rogue if it were on a Rogue person. It was completely a template for the ancestor of the thief, and it was obvious that a few thieves from the Dragon Coast who were not long-eyed could not please him in his hands. Dragons don't have a class like a thief, so when he encounters the first thief, Yang Hai is completely defenseless until a player in a gray cloak passes by him.
Yang Hai didn't expect that someone would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, although he was not vigilant, but the perception of up to 28 points was not used to eat dry rice. When the player reached Yang Hai's waist and tried to touch Edgar's feathers, Yang Hai didn't understand what this person wanted to do, he was very strange in his heart, after all, casually touching others would enter the PK judgment, could it be that he met the legendary fagot xing harasser today?
Yang Hai felt a chill, and then ...... Then the thief put his hand on Edgar's feather on his waist in Yang Hai's stunned eyes.
However, Evans' followers were protected from malicious prying eyes, and the thief touched it, but failed to touch the equipment.
Yang Hai didn't react for a moment, but his body had already made a move in place of consciousness - he grabbed the thief's hand.
The thieves were caught in the current.
Yang Hai even asked very embarrassedly: "Dude, what are you going to do?" Then he remembered that thieves have the skill of pickpocketing.
The thief who was caught by Yang Hai was also stunned in the face of such a mentally retarded question, and he didn't know how to answer, Yang Hai, who was red-faced, was annoyed and angry, and without pretentiousness, he killed the pickpocket with a knife, took back his ornaments and continued to walk to the city.
It was the first time for Yang Hai to commit a murder in broad daylight, and he was under a lot of psychological pressure, so he subconsciously touched his mask as a Night Keeper and pulled down his cloak, but the players around him just glanced at this side and continued to do their own thing.
The tall figure of the dragon clan looked a little dazzling in this place where there were few dragon people, and Yang Hai's dusty appearance almost wrote the words "I am a foreigner" on his face. Therefore, it has also become the object of special attention of thieves. Everywhere the masses of the people like to see such a thing. Yang Hai also did not refuse to come, laughed at each other, and hacked to death a thief who did it, and his fierce reaction and vicious counterattack made many thieves in the tail line dispel the idea of doing it - this year, it will take a lot of time to practice to the first level.
Soon after, Yang Hai encountered a third thief who tried to pickpocket, Yang Hai was already impatient, he knocked off the hand that was stretched out to his backpack, pulled it, and then found that the guy he was holding was surprisingly poor. Yang Hai counts the attribute bonus of the equipment. With 22 points of strength, it can only be considered medium among players, but this guy almost flew up with a pull of his hand, and fell in front of him with a rolling belt. Grimaced, he stood up.
Yang Hai looked at the thief in amazement and found that this guy turned out to be a halfling. Yang Hai has long been known to dwarf (officially called halfling) players, but this is the first time he has actually seen someone choose this race. Halflings are known for their well-developed minds and weak bodies, so it's understandable that they were pulled away by themselves. What Yang Hai was really surprised was that this guy was too young, and he looked like a schoolboy - whose kid ran into an online game to play thieves? The family is too loose, stealing things will pollute the pure hearts of children......
The halfling was also stunned, because he was also a pickpocket ancestor in Ivanaor, and he rarely pickpocketed himself, and of course he never missed a pickpocket. But today I met a monster who didn't know what to do.,Just put your hand over and let the other party notice.,What's more,The other party's action of pinching his wrist is as fast as lightning.,Your nerve reflexes can keep up.,But you can't dodge it anyway.,This TMD.,It's really a night road that will always be with hell.,Come out and mix sooner or later! How agile does this guy in a black cloak have! Is this person really a gamer? This can't be an NPC that is bored and pretending to be a player to amuse itself, right?
The halfling was lamenting bad luck. He was even more shocked to find that he had been slapped in the back of the head.
The halfling's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that someone would dare to punch him in the back of the head. This one...... This guy, he doesn't know how to write the dead word?
Uh, but it looks like I'm going to lose half a level of experience now.
"Imp." Yang Hai pinched the nose of the halfling with a smile and a smile. Spin back and forth, "You're still glaring at me?" It's really cute. I don't learn well at a young age. Learners steal things, why doesn't your mother care about you? โ
The halfling glared at Yang Hai fiercely, but the big watery eyes only made that face more cute.
Halfling thought that the mask he had put on today for fun was a child's face, and he immediately wanted to cry without tears. The enemy's combat power is too ferocious, he can't beat it, he can't run away, and the agility that he is proud of will definitely be turned into scum in front of the person in front of him. But he is obviously Ivanao's number one bully, but today he is going to be molested by a big man who jumps out of nowhere, touching his head and twisting his nose, it's really a shame to throw it to grandma's house!
"Let's talk about it, how are we going to solve today's matter?" Yang Hai smiled and flicked a violent shudder on the halfling's head. The other party is too young, killing children is easy to leave a psychological shadow on others, it is immoral to do so, Yang Hai also stopped killing, but discipline is inevitable.
When the halfling heard that it was possible to save this half-level of experience, his mind suddenly became active. His level is too high, and although he has just fallen out of the top ten on the rank list, it is still a very heart-wrenching thing to lose half level experience. I didn't expect this child's mask to have this kind of miraculous effect, so it was better to simply sell it cutely, and make a fool of this big man with his feet, and get out a little bit of news about him first. This man is really powerful, his origin is a little weird, and if he prepares early, the probability of his revenge success is higher.
There was a plan in his heart, and the halfling man showed a very aggrieved look: "Uncle, you bully others!" It's not fun! โ
After speaking, the halfling himself also had a chill, mlgbd, the rivers and lakes are sinister, ill-intentioned, life is like a play, all by acting skills, today Lao Tzu is also out of the way!
Yang Hai was amused and laughed: "What uncle and uncle, am I so old?" โ
I'm rubbing, this dog's big man is still pretending to be tender, it's a loss of conscience! The halfling had other intentions, so he could only pinch his nose and pout, "Big brother." So what do you say? โ
Yang Hai smiled and said, "Boy, are you familiar with Ivan Suo City?" โ
"Ha, am I familiar with Ivan Tho City?"
With great perseverance, the halfling swallowed his disdainful attitude and the next half of the sentence "Lao Tzu is the hooligan leader of this Ivan Tho City, you say I am familiar with it", blinked his eyes and said: "People usually have to study, and they don't have so much time to play." But it's okay, I've been reincarnated here for so long, and I still know the way. โ
"That's good," Yang Hai rubbed the halfling's short hair: "Then you can be my guide and turn around Ivan Tho City, and the grievances between us will be written off, how about it?" โ
Hehe, a write-off?
You want to be beautiful, Lao Tzu is not finished with you.
The halfling man was ruthless in his heart, and said very aggrievedly, "Oh...... All right. But big brother, don't lie to me. โ
"Ha Luha, rest assured, I'm never a liar." Yang Hai felt that this child was childish for a while and old-fashioned for a while, which was really funny.
The halfling man thinks that this big man is really a tmd pervert, Lao Tzu must organize a group of thieves, pick up all the equipment you can pick up, and then throw it into the wilderness to feed the wolves, otherwise I can't calm the anger in my heart! โฆโฆ) โฆโฆ)
