Chapter 721: The Ruins That Suddenly Appeared
As a teacher, Nikolai is not competent, because of the peculiarity of the player, Nikolai has not taught Anyizhi any magic skills.
But he is very competent, because Nikolai is really kind to his students.
He doesn't spoil his students, although he is very protective, but every time he gives Ann a finger, he can help him without making him too dependent on him, which is very helpful for young people to grow up step by step.
As the saying goes, it is better to have no book than to have no book.
Nikolai didn't want An Yizhi to follow his path, he hoped that An Yizhi could walk out of his own legend, instead of relying on the salted fish of Nikolai's name.
Judging from the results, his education method is still very successful, and An Yizhi has now made a lot of fame, especially the deeds that circulate in the NPC, each of which can be adapted into a small song by the bard and sung everywhere.
- Don't care about the good or bad reputation.
An Yizhi himself is also very ....... Nikolai, and he stays away.
The main thing is that Niko is crazy too much, and it would be nice if he could stay awake for a long time, but obviously it can't be.
So when old Toby said that Nikolai had prepared a test for him, Ann's right eyelid couldn't stop jumping on a disco.
Think about the last time Niko came to the 'trial', it was in the misty forest, and An Yizhi was almost tired and urinated blood to slap the demon lord, I don't know what the hell Niko had prepared for him this time.
The old dwarf was also helpless about this, and he said:
"Niko has told you to go to the Dark Regions to make a big news."
An Yizhi was still waiting for the second half, but who knew that the old dwarf actually stopped talking.
"Gone?"
"It's gone."
“……”
This is a trial of hair!
I'm pretty good at doing things, but at least I have to give a goal, right? For example, when I went to Lopwen, I went with the purpose of plunging Lopwen into chaos, what does Nikoto mean by this?
Oh, he's crazy.
Guessing the intentions of a madman, it is strange to be able to guess, which means that you are also going crazy.
"Didn't the teacher tell me what to do?"
"No, he just said to make you make a big news, you know, his brain ......"
The old dwarf also couldn't stand the crazy talker, and took out a metal rod from the tobacco bag under Maza and threw it to Ann Yizhi:
"Not only did he not tell you what to do, but he also asked me to give you the reward in advance."
“……”
Nikolai is really crazy.
The metal rod that Old Toby threw over was about the same width as a staff, but it was only a dozen centimeters long, short and thick, and it used some kind of metal with a blue-white glow, and he really couldn't guess the mineral knowledge that Anyi fingered frequently.
This short rod is not smooth, but is full of staggered mechanical structures, which at first glance look like a rod-like transformer, full of mechanical feeling.
Oddities? Equip?
Feeling that strange things are more likely, Nikolai knows that An Yizhi has the epic staff of the two-faced person in his hand, and he doesn't need another staff, and eighty percent of it is a strange thing.
So he opened the item's properties to check it.
【Metal Rod】
Attributes: Decorations
Description: A metal rod made of meteorite iron, I ask you if you are surprised?
An Yi fingered: "......"
Uncle Nikolai! Let's stop playing the surprise set, okay!
As early as the time of the Demon Lord of the Misty Forest, Nikolai asked An Yizhi to leave the Meteorite Iron that he found from the Vaolek Dungeon, and at that time, An Yizhi was a little worried that Nikolai would make something out of the Meteorite Iron, and the result was unsurprising......
However, with Nikolai's character, the things thrown over will definitely not be garbage, and it is estimated that it is a virtue with the Mithril robe, and Nikolai thinks that it is not the time to use it, so it is temporarily sealed.
Having said that, Ann still had the feeling that he wanted to go to Niko to complain. Uncle, don't play like this, okay? It's hard to have a bad appetite!
Throwing the metal rod into the dimensional pocket, Ann took out a fragment of Raggett's mask and handed it to Old Toby.
"Meteorite Iron again? You kid has a lot of fate with Meteorite Iron. ”
Meteorite Iron is an unavoidable metal, and it is not particularly precious in terms of value, not as precious as Mithril and Adamantite, but if you look at the amount of existence, it is extremely precious.
He took out a particularly happy toad mirror and stuck it on his face, and stroked the broken part of the mask with his hand:
"Tsk, it was cut off by the Heavenly Sword, the quality of that sword is good, of course, it's still not as good as our dwarves."
He really deserves to be a master of forging, he can actually see it from the fracture.
"What do you want to do?"
"Is the mask okay?"
The old dwarf looked at Ann with a stupid look:
"What's wrong with you having no face?"
“……”
The old dwarf spoke as unlikable as ever.
"Melt the two bracers, this thing is of a good nature, it has some magic effects, and the craftsmanship of the person who forged it is okay, but it still hasn't fully played the value of meteorite iron."
To be able to make the dwarven forge master leave a 'okay' evaluation, the craftsmanship of the ancient Nords is already stronger than that of many mortals.
"How much time does it take?"
"It's not much, it's much easier than fixing that kid's armor."
The brave invincible smiled embarrassedly, he also knew that his armor was too high.
Apple Tea was on the side, he didn't know old Toby, so it was not easy to interject. But old Toby saw his embarrassment, and said:
"What do you want to order? Let's talk about it, just do it."
"I want to make a leather armor and strengthen the dagger by the way"
"Got the materials?"
"Bring it."
Apple Tea nodded busily, and it was quite a rare opportunity to let the blacksmith make a move, and it was basically impossible among players.
He hurriedly took out a large pile of prepared materials, and old Toby picked and chose a few of them:
"Leather armor will take a little time, but your dagger is faster, make it first, and you'll be done when you get back."
Hearing the old dwarf say this, Ann remembered that he had just said that he had just said that it was just in time.
"Originally, I just wanted An Yi to point you to come today, but it was a coincidence that you brought a friend...... Come over and bring my things to my workbench. ”
He shouted into the room, and immediately two apprentices hurriedly moved their belongings.
"How much do you know about the Dark Regions?"
The three of them looked at each other, and An Yi could only cast a gaze at Hela for help.
"Your envoy doesn't know much about it, I know, because Niko hasn't been to the Dark Lands much."
It sounds like old Toby and Nikolai are quite familiar, especially when they mention each other, just like old friends.
"When I went out on adventures with Nikolai when I was younger, your grandfather was still in a liquid state."
“……”
The way the old dwarf speaks is really unpleasant.
"Don't interrupt, emmmmm...... Recently, there has been a bit of an accident in the dark area, and although it is normal for things to change in that kind of place, this time the change is a bit big. ”
"What's going on?"
"Do you know Ikasha City?"
"It's a city of dwarves."
Hela Says:
"Once one of the eight glorious kingdoms of the Dwarves, Ikasha City was founded by their remnants."
"That's right, compared to those of us dwarves who live in the mountains, they are the real dwarves of the underground."
Old Toby stuffed tobacco into the pot and said:
"The city of Ikasha has trade with many cities on the surface, and they are also our sister city-states in Comoria."
"Is that what happened to it?"
"Well, during the recent underground movement, many passages seemed to have been closed, and many passages were also reopened, and the remains of the dwarven kingdom that had been missing for thousands of years were found in Ikasha City, and the entrance was near Ikasha City."
Relic?
As soon as he heard these two words, An Yizhi and Apple Tea suddenly became interested.
Ruins represent adventure and great gains! Especially this kind of ruin, which has not been entered for thousands of years, the first discoverers will definitely make a lot of money...... I mean, I can't keep my mouth shut.
However, things are far from that simple, if it is just a ruin, Ikasha City itself will definitely explore and investigate it, after all, it is a relic of the dwarven kingdom, and it is normal for their descendants to explore it.
But the bad thing is the geographical location of Ekasha City.
The dwarven kingdom was surrounded by many ill-intentioned city-states, most of which were Dark Elves, and upon hearing of this, the cunning Dark Elves rushed in and explored before the dwarves of Ikasha City.
The result is even more surprising, the ruins are the dwarven kingdom, but there is also a ruin that clearly belongs to the ancient elves next to the ruins of the dwarven kingdom......
The devil knows what geological movement brought the two ruins together, but it was clear that the two ruins attracted a large number of city-states peeking into the riches within.
That's where things go bad.
The dwarves say that the entrance to the cave is in the sphere of influence of Ikasha City, and that the ruins belong to them. The surrounding dark elves retorted that there was a relic of an ancient elf inside, and it was obvious that it belonged to the elves.
The result of the two sides insisting on their own words is war.
In terms of strength, the Dark Elves have a very large advantage, but Makasha City has several passages to the surface, and the continuous support from their cousins on the ground has made the outcome of this battle become helpless.
An unending war is not a good thing for both sides of the war, and as the saying goes, the stone-tempered dwarf has signed a pact with the dark elves for the first time.
Since it can't be since ancient times, we have no choice but to put aside the controversy and develop it together......
Of course, there are also rules on how to develop, neither side is allowed to send large troops into their respective cities, exploration can only be carried out in small teams, and a checkpoint is set up at the exit of the passage, and anything explorers get inside must be checked by both sides.
The Dark Elves are good at intrigue and assassination, and they don't suffer.
A number of players who were operating underground had been gathered long before the terms were signed, and they were not afraid of death, and at the same time they were not interested in something that they thought were valuable, and they could be sent away with just a few magic gems, and there was really no more suitable candidate for cannon fodder.
In contrast, Ikasha City was much late, and when they came to their senses, the dark elves had already taken a lot of valuable antiquities, and they thought of following suit.
But to say that, how can it be so easy.
Players are attracted by the conditions offered by the dark elves and are already familiar with dealing with the dark elves, and the dwarves will not be able to win many people unless they offer much higher conditions than the dark elves.
After all, there are still a few players in the dark region, so they came up with the idea of the surface and asked old Toby to help him find some powerful adventurers to help.
That's why he said that An Yizhi came just right......
