Chapter 412: Threesome (Part II)
The carriage galloped forward, and Rhodes sat in the carriage, silently watching the scenery flying by outside the window. And opposite him, Seven Love was bored crawling on the soft sofa, curled up like a dog, and the plush tail covered the girl's body like a blanket, and the girl was squinting her eyes and napping slightly.
The road to the Custer Plateau was not easy, as Rhodes first had to leave the Dusk Forest in a horse-drawn carriage and then head northeast through the White River Valley before reaching the Custer Plateau. It is also the junction of Parfield and the Dortmund Mountains, where the Purple Lily Mercenary Guild is powerful.
It has to be said that the road is not easy to walk, because of the disrepair, the bumpy road can be said to be quite painful. Although the carriage provided by Metz was already quite luxurious, and in order to take care of the feelings of the passengers inside, it was paved with heavy fur cushions, but this did not make Rhodes feel very comfortable——— there is no such thing as rubber on this continent, the wheels of this carriage presented by Metz are made of a combination of high-quality wood and steel, and the flat tapered disc wheels can resist the impulse generated when traveling on uneven ground to a certain extent, but they can still make people feel tired after sitting for a long time.
Only at this time will Rhodes miss the movement in the game very much, after all, although it is a realistic game, at least in the carriage and other means of transportation, it is still relatively considerate to the player. Even if the player moves in a horse-drawn carriage in the game, the whole round trip is as comfortable and smooth as riding a high-speed train, without any abnormal movement. But now, Rod has a vague feeling that he is a little motion sick.
"Hoo ..............."
Come to think of it. Rhodes withdrew his gaze from looking out of the car, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, starting from the Land of Atonement, it would take five or six days at least to go to the Custer Plateau. The thought of having to travel in such a situation gave Rhodes a headache——— and what frustrated him the most was that the tide did not pass through the Custer Plateau, otherwise it would have been a good idea to take a floating boat.
"Master? What are you thinking? ”
And at this very time. The voice of Seven Love sounded in Rod's ears, he opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw the fox-eared girl lying lazily opposite him, squinting her eyes slightly, and looking at herself with a smug smile. Unlike Rod, who already has some motion sickness, Seven Love doesn't seem to have any problems. Although the carriage shook and jumped from time to time. But she sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and looked like no one was doing anything.
And seeing her expression, Rod naturally snorted coldly, he had been with this eccentric elemental lord for a long time, and naturally guessed that Qilian at this moment was obviously planning to see his jokes. However, for Rod, of course, he would not casually show his fatigue in front of others, so in the face of Qilian's slightly smug and mocking gaze, Rod snorted coldly, then sat up straight again, and then focused on the book in his hand again. Nothing else is recorded above. It is exactly the content of the strategy of the ruins of the Custer Plateau.
Although the Starlight Guild was crushed all the way through the wilderness when it was carrying out the reclamation of the ruins dungeon, and did not know its prefix quest, it later spread with this dungeon. The prefix task has also become a compulsory course for many other guilds, and with the mentality that talking is better than nothing, Rhodes naturally has some understanding. But here's the problem.
Custer Ruins is a one-off copy, and a large part of Rhodes' quest for learning about this prefix quest in the first place was curiosity and collecting. So he just took a cursory look at the whole process. Then he put it in his brain and never took it out again, because he hadn't done it himself. Rod's memory is not so vivid, and it is precisely because of this that before going to Custer, Rod deliberately closed the door and revisited the general process of this prefix task with Little Bubblegum and Canary.
The whole prefix quest itself is not too difficult, first, the player has to go to the City of the Eagle located in the Karst Plateau, find a suicide note in the library, and then follow the above steps to find four fragments in several places within the City of the Eagle, and then use these four pieces to piece together a key to open the door to the underground labyrinth of the City of the Eagle, and then obtain a treasure handed down by an ancient family in the depths of the maze. According to the normal process of the game, after getting this treasure, the player will learn about the existence of the Karst Plateau Ruins, so as to go to the Plateau Ruins to open the dungeon task, as for the ancient treasure, it is the core starting stone inside the ruins, relying on this stone, the player team can not only close the guard mechanism inside the ruins, but also open a certain degree of security defense, which prevents those constant attacks of monsters like mountains and tsunamis, so as to calmly enter the dungeon.
As for the underground labyrinth in the City of Eagles, it's just an ordinary map, not a dungeon mechanism, so Rhodes doesn't have to worry about any trouble. The only flaw is that because he has not done the prefix task, Rhodes is not very familiar with the location of the four shards, and if he really has to follow the task process strategy to find it, it will probably take more time. Thankfully, at least the approximate location of the fragment was still reflected by Rhodes, so he didn't have to start from scratch like a headless fly. Merely...............
It doesn't have to be that like a game...............
Rod sighed dissatisfied, then closed the book in his hand and glanced at Seven Loves.
"You're very laid-back, Seven Love, did you have a good dream?"
"It's okay, master, it's just that no one here compensates me for chatting, it's really boring, master, you're studying those strategies all day long, if you want me to say, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will sink naturally at the bridge, what do you have to worry about, even if there is no strategy, with your strength, it's not a matter of minutes to get such a broken task?"
Speaking of this, Qilian couldn't help but prick up her ears proudly, and her big fluffy tail began to shake uncontrollably.
"What's more, it doesn't matter if you don't have a key, you should remember the exact location of the dungeon. When we arrive in the City of Eagles, wouldn't it be better to break through the gate and rush in? What trouble are you afraid of? Could there be any zombie virus or something like that? ”
That's another way.
Hearing Qilian's suggestion, Rod couldn't help but nod, but frankly, he didn't expect much from it. Although it is said that the game is the same as the real world. It doesn't have to be done according to the game's flow strategy, but Rhodes vaguely remembers that the underground labyrinth gate under the Eagle City seems to be sealed by magic, and if you accidentally force it open, there may be problems. Of course, this is the design of the game to regulate the player. But what the reality will be, only then will be said.
But that's not all Rhodes is worried about.
"I've already planned for the ruins, but I'm more worried about something else."
"You're talking about ..............."
Hearing Rod's answer, Qilian rolled his eyes curiously, and then spoke.
"Christie's prophecy?"
"That's right."
After seeing the reaction of the Seven Loves. Rod nodded slightly. In fact, before the two left the fortress, Christie once again said something completely inexplicable in front of Rod, this time even the girl herself didn't realize what she had just said, but Rod took this sentence to heart.
“AsinBunyleKuse。” (The executioner is waiting for you)
It's still the language of the abyss. And as always, there is no clue to speak, in Rod's memory, there are no monsters and bosses called executioners in the ruins of Custer. And in the City of Eagles, there are no similar organizations and individuals. But after what happened last time, Rod didn't think Christie was talking casually. But I have to admit that the girl's prophetic ability is indeed weird. At least, in Rhodes' memory, he had never seen a similar person on the Dragon Soul Continent.
"I'm not sure exactly what Christie is trying to say, though. But it doesn't seem like a good thing, master, maybe when we get to the City of Eagles, things will be much more difficult than we thought. ”
"In any case, be careful. It's not our territory, Seven Loves. You ..............."
"Boom!"
"Oops!"
Just as Rod was speaking, suddenly, the carriage jolted hard, which forced Rod to involuntarily close his mouth to avoid biting his tongue, and at this time, he suddenly heard a subtle, dull scream, which made Rod stunned, and then he raised his head and looked at the seven loves opposite him. At this moment, the fox-eared girl was still curled up leisurely in her place, as if an invisible thread had firmly bound her to the soft cushion.
"Seven Loves, were you talking just now?"
"Huh?"
In the face of Rod's inquiry, Qilian's eyes widened in surprise, and then Rod noticed that Qilian's ears twitched slightly.
"Ah, no, master, I think you misheard."
Nothing happened all the way.
Although Rhodes did not stop to rest along the way in pursuit of speed, at dusk they arrived at their intended location, the small town of Clayte, where they would spend the night according to Rhodes' plan, and then head to the White River Valley.
Stepping off the carriage again and stepping onto the ground, Rod finally felt a solid, stable feeling, breathing in the fresh, earthy air of the town and the fragrance of flowers, Rod involuntarily stretched. And at this moment, suddenly, from the back of the carriage, there was an exclamation from the coachman.
"Wow!"
What happened?
Hearing the coachman's screams, Rod and Qilian couldn't help but be stunned, and then the two immediately came to the back of the carriage, only to see that the old coachman was sitting on the ground at the moment, with a blue face, and stretched out his hand tremblingly to point to the back of the carriage. It was originally used as a place to prevent travel clothing and food, but now it ...............
Looking in the direction of the old coachman's finger, the first thing that caught Rod's eye was a snow-white thigh sticking out of the back box.....................
