311 Dragon Fortress [Dallas Trivan]
Vajra Pea's inaugural mission seems to be as little as infiltrating the Thieves' Guild's treasure room, obtaining an item as a credential, and giving it to the old thief in the Thieves' Guild's stronghold.
As the most proficient intelligence thief in the team, Pea knows far more about the inaugural mission than the sycamore, according to him, at present, less than one percent of the players in Fairhaven City have successfully inaugurated the player, the main reason is that the player's strength is not enough to complete the difficulty of the inauguration mission, especially in the main inauguration mission location of Fairhaven City, after the passage of Will Forest was occupied by the barbarian bandits, the players did not even have the opportunity to try the inaugural mission.
However, not completing the inauguration task does not prevent players from upgrading their levels, two months, it is enough for many advanced players to rise to level 5~10 or so of the first level, the vast majority of players and forces, are accumulating strength, ready to break through the level in one fell swoop, preempt other forces, make the members of their own forces successfully inaugurate, and then overwhelm other forces with career templates to gain a greater advantage.
However, it is difficult to find a job, which does not mean that no one succeeds in finding a job, such as King Kong Pea, he seems to have triggered a certain condition, which caused the content of the task to change, and he does not need to do the same job task as other players, but only needs to complete the exclusive job task designated by the NPC mentor.
In addition to him, there are also a number of players in the Venane Academy who have successfully inaugurated the caster class, and the vast majority of them are high-level players who have obtained the status of [Trainee Mage] before leaving the island.
Some of them are required to create a high-quality alchemy work at the request of the NPC Mentor, or they may learn a Tier 1 spell before they take up their position, or they may simply be rewarded for working hard for the NPC Mentor for a period of time.
In general, the experience of these successful players has no reference at all.
This makes the Sycamores, who have already come into contact with the edge of the inaugural task, very depressed, because even with their strength, it seems that it is an impossible task to complete the inauguration task at this stage, not to mention the players whose current level is generally below the 1st and 5th levels.
"That's not right! Wrong! ”
Wutong frowned and bit his thumb to think, he suddenly felt that everyone's thinking seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding, there is no reason for the official to restrict the growth of players so much, what good is this for the official?
The most interesting thing is that there is no restriction that the inaugural task can only be completed by individual readers, which means that the inaugural task can be completed in a teamwork way, as long as the player who completes the task can play an important role in the team.
"Teamwork?"
Sycamore and Infinity glanced at each other, "Endless" is a game that emphasizes teamwork, and it's not surprising that this is reflected again in the inaugural mission, but teamwork doesn't mean that you can fish in troubled waters with the group.
And since it's an inauguration task, it is obvious that it must reflect the special surname of the profession, just like Vajra Pea inaugurated as a thief, that is, infiltrated the thieves' guild to steal the inauguration certificate, and those lucky spellcasters who triggered the unique inauguration method, the inauguration task is to make alchemy items and the like, which is somewhat related to their respective professional special surnames.
"What is the Wanderer's professional surname?"
Wutong suddenly asked Infinity, Infinite was stunned, and he couldn't answer at once, but Wutong didn't expect Infinite to answer, because his professional surname of the mage is just a vague concept, and he doesn't know if it's correct, he thinks that the professional surname of the mage is probably related to the keywords of "knowledge, erudition, wisdom, and brain", and the job task is related to whether he can play the special surname of his profession.
Standing here is not a solution, Wutong decided to go directly to a kobold village with an elite kobold leader, and then consider it after a field trip, but Wutong didn't expect that he had no head and no brain, but the rest of the team fell into thinking, which caused the whole team to be a little absent-minded during the march.
It was very easy to find a kobold village in the Will Forest, but Sycamore did not look for a small village nearby, but followed the path mentioned in the "Raiders", zigzagged forward in the Will Forest, cleverly avoiding most of the danger areas, and gradually approached the huge ruins in the Will Forest.
After Infinity found his own answer, he woke up from his contemplation, and after looking up and looking around, he suddenly sweated, he didn't know he was there! And the formation of the whole team is a mess!
A group of warriors blankly protected the mages and clerics, following a mage surrounded by four Barrier Warriors, while the Wind Thief and the Ranger Hunter were gathered in the team and not released, including him, the Raider Killer, who was not responsible for pathfinding and realm
The only thing to be thankful for is that the elemental wind bat floated in the air, seemingly acting as a vigilance, in this case, it is a miracle that they did not encounter any battles in this dangerous forest with complex terrain and monsters!
Infinite couldn't help but look at the sycamore, who was looking around at the front of the group, as if he was recognizing something, how did he bring everyone to such a deep forest without alarming any monsters at all?
Sycamore saw a few skulls stuck in a dry branch not far away, which I don't know if they were animals or humanoids, and muttered to himself: "The 13th skull landmark is to the left, go around the 11 o'clock position ahead, and there is a broken stone tablet 50 yards away"
Infinite couldn't help but speed up his pace and chased after Wutong: "Uh, where are we going?" ”
"It should be almost there" Wutong pointed to the broken one-man tall stele: "From this stele, we will enter a large ruin in the Will Forest, this is the largest kobold tribe in the Will Forest, so there are no beastly monsters around their tribe that have been killed and eaten by them, so we are so safe, as long as we avoid the kobold patrol." ”
Infinite cold sweat "squeak~" came out, and he almost couldn't hold back his roar: "What are you taking us to the biggest tribe for?" You don't know a tribe that has the least"
Wutong interrupted Infinity's words and said with a smile: "I can tell you accurately, this [Dak kobold tribe] has more than 200,000 kobold members, and this ruin is said to be one of the ruins of the dragon fortress [Dallas Cui Fan] built by the kobold god [Ketuma] himself, do you believe it?" ”
"How do you know? Also What does 'one' mean? Infinity can't help but wonder.
Wutong shrugged his shoulders and casually pulled out a copy of "The Legend of the Kingdoms" from the [moving bookshelf] backpack on his waist: "What is written in this book, do you want to read it?" ”
Infinitely dumbfounded, Nima! The books that the mage has are all written in arcane scripts, even if he wants to read them, can he understand them?
"In fact, you should also be able to find relevant content in the database bound to your account, in the part about myths and legends!"
"In myths and legends, the kobold god [Ketuma] is a drop of blood from the ancient true dragon [Sceline Czech], and the first [Dragon's Blood Kobold] was formed, and it was it who led the kobolds to build the magnificent underground dragon fortress [Dallas Trifan] But countless years have passed, and the real [Dallas Trifan] is no longer known there."
Wutong put away the book and roughly explained: "The reason why it is said that this is 'one of the ruins' is because [Ketuma] is the common god of the kobolds, no matter what kind or that tribe of kobolds, they basically believe in it, so it is very superstitious about some of the great deeds that [Ketuma] did in myths and legends."
As a result, in ancient times, as long as there were powerful large kobold tribes, they all tried to imitate their gods and build the dragon fortress [Dallas Trifan], and the result was that there are currently as many as a dozen known [Dallas Trifan] ruins, and the one occupied by the [Dak kobold tribe] is one of them. ”
Everyone was fascinated by the legend described by Wutong, the most important thing is that this is a fortress ruin, most likely built by a god himself, not to mention that there is a ten and eight artifacts in it, how can there be high-end equipment and treasures full of pits and valleys?
"You mean there's a large 'copy' here?"
Although there are some doubts, Infinite still can't help but ask excitedly, after all, this guy in front of him is a "super play" who is very likely to hold "Supreme Platinum", although both sides have not clearly indicated their "identity", but from his equipment, strength, and "wealth", Infinite suspects that this guy is the top 100 perverts on the "Super Play" list! Otherwise, he himself is also a "Supreme Platinum", why is there such a huge gap between the two sides?
He said that the information of this "ruin copy" was what he saw from the books, but he was infinitely "well aware", and each "Supreme Platinum" had its own intelligence channel, maybe the information of this ruin was the "internal information" he obtained from a certain intelligence channel, if that was the case, the credibility of the good things here would be very high.
"It can be regarded as a large dungeon, but if I want to say, this should be a 'large dungeon group', and there are many tasks involved here, but none of them are what we can get involved in now."
Wutong nodded and pointed to the broken stone tablet: "There is a secret passage under this stone tablet, which can avoid the [Dak Kobold Tribe] on the ground and lead directly to the interior of the underground dragon fortress [Dallas Trifan], and the 'mission' I told you is to obtain an item in [Dallas Trifan]. In addition, our inaugural mission test has to kill an elite kobold leader per person, so I think it's better to just do that task directly, and by the way, kill some elite kobold leaders [Dallas Cui Fan] There should be a lot of boss-level kobolds in it, even if we can't complete my mission, we can also do the inaugural mission test. ”
Infinity nodded and took a breath: "Then what are we waiting for?" Do it! Wutong, you will command us how to do it! The loot is yours to distribute! He knew very well that people were willing to share the information of this relic copy, but they couldn't be satisfied with the demand to share the spoils equally, anyway, they wouldn't lose anything, and no matter how bad they were, they knew where this ruin was, which was the biggest advantage.
Wutong circled around the broken stele twice, carefully identified the words and graphics on it, and took out a spell scroll to tear it open, and released [Detection Arcane] on the stele, after making sure that he had not made a mistake, he walked a few steps north with his back against the stele according to a certain figure on the stele, and then poked the dirt on the ground with the goblin staff in his hand: "Here, dig down about five or six feet deep, and you should be able to find the entrance to the secret passage." ”
When the surrounding warrior players heard this, they took out the necessary miner's pickaxe from the adventure backpack, spat two mouthfuls into the palm of their palms, and then jingled and dug up with a round pickaxe.
Infinitely surprised, and was about to remind Sycamore that this place is very close to the [Dak kobold tribe], and they made such a big noise, will it alarm the kobolds, Sycamore suddenly threw a [Silence Technique] at a group of fighters who were digging a pit, and suddenly the picture of a group of fighters slamming their pickaxes became a silent movie, not to mention that the kobolds would find out, and even the soldiers themselves couldn't hear the sound of digging.
The efficiency of a large group of warriors working together was very high, and the dirt less than two meters deep was quickly turned up, revealing the entrance to the secret passage hidden under the dirt, which was a low stone path less than two meters high, which seemed to be specially designed for kobolds less than a meter tall, and humans could barely walk upright.
While the soldiers were cleaning up the mud in the secret passage, Wutong looked at the fat uncle and put him in the wine: "The matter of hiding the traces will be handed over to you, uncle." ”
The drunken general grinned, nodded, took out a small shovel from his adventure backpack, and began to transplant some plants and thorn bushes around the digging pit, and soon formed a thorn bush that did not walk in person, and it was impossible to see from the outside that there was a dirt pit in the middle, which was the [special ability] of the ranger class - [camouflage] skill.
While the soldiers and the ranger fat uncle were busy, Wutong called the vajra pea who was standing by the pit and watched the excitement: "The kobold is a natural trap master, there will definitely be a large number of traps in the secret passage, and after a while, pea, you are responsible for walking at the forefront of the team with infinity, have you learned your [Trap Perception] and [Trap Finding] skills?" ”
Infinity nodded and glanced at Pea, "My [Trap Perception] is level 33, but [Finding Trap] is only level 23." ”
"Both of my skills have been trained to level 30, although they are not infinitely high, but they are both level 1 enhanced versions." Pea grinned proudly, this is the benefit of being inaugurated, even if the skill level is not high enough, but the effect is stronger than the high-level skill without the inauguration.
"That's good, you two cooperate to detect the trap, the fat uncle is responsible for dismantling the trap, you are responsible for protecting the peas and the hunter, I will let 'Raphael' follow you, if you encounter a trap that you can't dodge, he will protect you with a shield." Sycamore patted the barrier warrior beside him, and Raphael silently removed the heavy wooden shield from his back and held it in his hand.
As he spoke, the secret passage had been dug through, and Sycamore waved his hand to let Sarath release a [wind-making technique] into the secret passage that had been closed for an unknown amount of time, and the strong air flow poured into the passage violently, blowing away the rotten air in the passage, Pea and Infinity led the way down, and the fat hunter stayed at the rear, put a puff of branches on the thorn bush at the entrance, completely covered up the traces, and quickly used his round body to squeeze the people along the road and drive them to the front.
The secret passage dug by the kobold is no more than two meters high, and the width is just enough for two or three people to stand side by side, all the way to the depths of the ground at a steep 45-degree oblique angle, fortunately, the peas and infinity who are responsible for detecting the trap are not large people, so the front is relatively loose, but the back is more crowded, and the mages are surrounded by warriors in the middle to prevent any accidents.
It's not wrong to say that kobolds are natural trap masters, but a passage hundreds of meters long, Infinity and Pea found dozens of traps, including trap traps, stab traps, falling rock traps, and all kinds of strange traps.
Fortunately, there are various professions in their team, and the Fat Uncle Ranger plays an important role, he will either trigger the peas and the traps found infinitely in advance, or directly dismantle them, or jam them to make them unable to start, providing great safety and convenience to the team, and the fat uncle's round face also smiled, such a dense demolition of the traps, so that his skill proficiency rose rapidly.
"There's no way ahead!"
Pea suddenly stopped, made a few gestures to Infinity behind him, and Infinite turned around and whispered to Infinity, who stretched out his index finger to silence the person behind him, and asked the July Flame in charge of lighting to extinguish the four balls of light in [Dancing Light Technique] to prevent their location from being revealed.
Walked to the front with Infinity to take a look, only to see Pea standing at the exit of the passage, stretching out a finger that licked his saliva to test the airflow, and found Wutong coming, nodded to him, and said softly: "This passage seems to be a vent, there is no road outside, it looks like an abandoned mine below, and no trace of kobolds has been found." ”
Sycamore looked at it, and they were located on the wall of a large mine pit, which did look like a vent, but there was no way to go down, and there was a cliff directly outside the passage.
Infinity and Pea glanced at each other, nodded, and after a few gestures, Infinity said to Wutong: "The two of us can go down first to arrange the rope ladder, and it shouldn't be a problem for the warriors to climb down the rope ladder, mage's words"
Wutong glanced back at the mage girls who were crowded at the entrance of the passage and looked down with his probe probe, and smiled: "I'll solve the female mage, and the male mage will climb down by himself." ”
With that, he snapped his fingers, and Sarath leaped out of the passage and fell into the pit, causing a burst of exclamations and screams from the mage girls, and in the light of the only ever-burning torch, she saw that Sarath's falling figure suddenly paused, and then rose up, circling around the cone-funnel-shaped pit.
