The next morning, in the hotel room, Charles introduced the newly introduced female dwarf to the newly launched fingertip quicksand and dreams.

The news was so sudden.

After just one night, there was one more member of the team.

The expressions of the wanderers and sorcerers were a little strange at first.

The two intertwined glances made the female dwarf Herella hide behind Charles, her head lowered and her fingers twisted, very shy and afraid of life.

"This is Herrela, you can call her Lala."

Charles smiled at the quicksand on his fingertips and smiled at the haunting of his dreams, "This is a genius enchanter, and he will definitely become a master in the future." Our team hasn't been officially established yet, and the name badge or anything has not been decided, but it's only a matter of the past few days. ”

"The three of you are all the first batch of reservists, and if you want to become regular, you will need a period of assessment." Charles changed his mind.

"Reserves?"

The quicksand at the fingertips was expected, and the reaction was flat. Wandering from his dreams, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Charles, and asked, "With my strength, are they just preparatory members, not directly accepted as full members?" ”

"I think high standards are a good thing."

"It's as it is for the team and for the members."

Charles smiled.

"Life players use another set of standards, and combat players naturally have to use another set of standards. How do you measure it...... Well, to be honest, it was difficult to blur this in the past, and it was usually absorbed after being recognized by all the old members. ”

After thinking about it for a moment as he spoke, Charles nodded lightly and said, "In this way, after finishing the 'Ruins Copy', you will follow me to meet someone." ”

"In the past, Nodashir was controlled by her. It's not easy to win her approval, but I have confidence in you. ”

"That person is the Lady of Twilight Blade?"

A hint of displeasure crossed his face, and he seemed very dissatisfied with Charles's repeated flattery of the woman in his words.

"I'd like to see what kind of person it is." Lingering in his dreams, he threw out a sentence coldly, and then turned silent.

The new team has not yet established a fixed foothold.

Charle spent a dozen gold coins and rented a room for the dwarf Herella to use as a workshop. She was locked up in it alone, and with the money that Charles had given her last night, she bought a lot of practice materials in one go, preparing to improve the other two skills of the enchantment system, 'Essence' and 'Soul Refining', in a short period of time.

As for Charles, with a haunting dream and quicksand at his fingertips, he stood on the outskirts of Shenhai Town, and after meeting with Todak and the three of them, he was ready to take on a mission with the aborigines and go to the 'Lake Bottom Ruins' dungeon to test the water.

"That native-female mage is right in front of you to issue a mission."

Oster points to a wooden house on the outskirts of the city, where the black-pressed players are encircled.

Everyone walked over, and shouts of begging to form a team and recruiting team members could be heard everywhere. The players are too large, there are humans, there are half-orcs, and elves and half-elves also occupy a large part. Charles also saw a few Southern Snake Clan players, gathered together, and a cold aura came from afar.

The pure-blooded snake race belongs to one of the powerful races of "Dawn", and the initial attributes are very high, but the system also sets level adjustments for powerful races, such as pure-blood snake people, level adjustment +3, deep dwarf level adjustment +2, gray orc level adjustment +1, and so on.

To put it simply, the level adjustment is that the experience required for upgrading of this race is much higher than that of ordinary bloodlines like humans, and the more terrifying it becomes.

As an example, if a human player has 7,000 XP, they can go up to level 4.

However, this experience is placed in the experience slot of pure-blood snake Terran players, and the upgrade progress is definitely not 100%, and it will not allow this player to be promoted from level 1 to level 2.

Therefore, the higher the level adjustment value, the stronger the bloodline, and the various attribute bonuses and bloodline characteristics are eye-catching. Although the system does not limit the availability of these races to players, players often choose a more mediocre race such as humans when creating characters.

There is no reason for it, and it is easy to upgrade. After all, rank is the truth.

Charles and Todak walked side by side, ready to squeeze in front of the hut and take on the quest for the natives to pick up the 'Lake Bottom Ruins'.

But at this time, the innermost player suddenly shouted loudly:

"Damn, the NPCs are gone!"

"I knew that the first pass of 'Lake Bottom Ruins' was definitely won by the elite team of Twilight Blade. Alas...... Let's go back and wash and sleep. ”

After the initial shock, players have been discussing the reason for the disappearance of the NPC. In the end, many teams in the vicinity agreed that the first pass of the 'Lake Bottom Ruins' had been taken, so in just a few minutes, a large open space was vacated in front of the wooden house.

"This ......"

Several of Charles' friends also looked at each other.

"It's not that coincidental."

Oster pushed his chin with his hand, closed his wide open mouth, his eyes were full of surprise, and said, "The first copy of the 'Lake Bottom Ruins' has really been taken?" Otherwise, the quest NPC won't disappear. ”

"You're late." Todak smiled wryly at Charles, "In fact, the 'ruins of the bottom of the lake' had already started two days before the forum was exposed. ”

"Some casual players in Shenhai Town felt that it was hopeless to win the first pass, so they poked the news out, hoping to muddy the waters."

Todak said, "So the guilds in other regions have already sent teams to Shenhai Town. As far as I know, both the Star River Club and Shadow of the Bloodhoof arrived yesterday. ”

"This first pass doesn't have to be won by Twilight Blade."

"Let's go back to town first!"

Charles's mood suddenly became bad, and he said in a calm voice: "No matter which team wins the first pass, they will appear in Shenhai Town with that group of aboriginal adventurers." ”

"Let's wait."

A group of six people could only turn around and return to Shenhai Town the same way.

Players encountered along the way, including those sitting in the lobby of the hotel, invariably focused on the first team of the 'Lake Bottom Ruins' dungeon.

Oster went offline and wanted to go to the official website forum to collect news, but after a while, he logged in to the game and shook his head.

"No guild has issued a first pass statement."

"If the guild and group win the first pass, the forum already has a promotional post and a clearance video."

Elven Ranger's analysis is not wrong. This is also common knowledge in the player circle, and more and more news points to a possibility: the first pass honor of the lake bottom ruin dungeon was won by an independent team that does not belong to any organization.

Half an hour after the quest NPC disappeared.

The bell tower, located in the high ground in the northern part of the town, suddenly heard a loud bell at noon.

There was the sound of horses' hooves clattering from the direction of the militia camp, and Charles and a few friends walked to the window of the inn room and looked out into the streets of the town, where a middle-aged sheriff was riding on a horse, followed by a group of light cavalry militiamen, and hurried to the south of the town.

Something is wrong!

Players and natives alike who witnessed this scene had this thought in their minds.

……

The southern suburbs of Shenhai Town.

A trade route stretched from the vast expanse of West Hartland (West Earth) across the Stormhorn Mountains, along the edge of the King's Forest, to the small town of Cormir on the banks of the River Sunken.

On the way, a group of twenty mages, escorted by a hundred accompanying knights, slowly walked towards Shenhai Town under the scorching sun.

Da-da-da-da.

The sheriff of Shenhai Town led the militia to greet him.

The militiamen did not dare to look at the knights who were full of breath and wrapped in a thick layer of armor. The twenty mages, all on horseback, reacted indifferently to the sheriff's greeting, except for a few who gave a cold glance and withdrew their gaze.

"Guests from afar, I am the magistrate of Shenhai Town, Rousseau." The middle-aged sheriff jumped off his horse and leaned over in salute with a restrained expression.

"Your Excellency Rousseau, before we entered your territory, we used the [SMS] technique to obtain the passage and stay permit of Lord Milman Raul."

A black-robed mage who looked like a team leader sat on the back of a horse, looking down at the middle-aged sheriff under the horse.

"Dear Longsa **Master, I have received a notice from the Alabe Lord's Mansion that you can walk freely in Shenhai Town." The sheriff bowed his head.

"Good."

The black-robed mage replied lightly, and the sheriff and militiamen automatically retreated, allowing the mage regiment and the accompanying knights to walk towards Shenhai Town.

At the same time, a team of players is approaching Pterodactyl Lake in the lower reaches of the Shen River.

Around the six players were a full eleven frightened aboriginal adventurers with soaked clothes.

"Thank you, Holy Presence."

The lead adventurer thanked one of the Paladin players, "We originally thought that the ruins at the bottom of the lake were the burial place of our 'Cracked Stone' mercenary group, and it was you who appeared in time to save us. ”

"We just escaped, and we don't have anything to give you."

"If you can, please come to Arabe in the future, our 'Cracked Stone' stronghold is in the residential area of the middle area of Arabe, you can ask there, and you will know the specific location."

The lead adventurer bowed once more and thanked him, then left the shore with the rest of the mercenary group.

"What, how hard it is to blow on this dungeon forum, I think that's it. Cormier: These players are a bunch of rice buckets, right? ”

As soon as the aborigines left, one of the mages in the player squad sneered.

If outsiders look at the list of team avatars of this team, they will find a terrible fact, the level value marked on the avatars of the characters is all "10".

"Alright."

The Paladin player who led the team glanced at the master, looked up at the sky, and said expressionlessly: "I just want to tell the players in Cormier that our team is here. ”

"Lord Ronsa, they should also go to Shenhai Town."

"Let's go and meet. Don't forget our main mission from Waterdeep, north of Sword Bay, to Cormier. ”
