165. Mermaid Treasure
It's a one-sided battle.
Although in broad daylight, Harding's combat power could not be fully exerted, but after all, his vision, skills, and his own strength were all there, so those few slave catchers who were just high-ranking silver naturally could not be Harding's opponents. So much so that when Sean and the others also rushed over, Harding had almost ended the battle.
It was not completely annihilated, at least two people saw that the situation was not right and immediately turned around and fled.
Originally, Harding wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Sean.
"Why?" Harding, whose face showed anger, was a little dissatisfied.
"There's no point in killing." Sean shook his head, "And you can't vent anything by doing this, in this world, there are too many slave hunters, as long as this world still needs slaves, then this industry will never disappear." …… So, even if you kill them all, you will only find that your anger is growing, not lessening. ”
Although he knew that what Sean said was correct, Harding was still instinctively dissatisfied, but he didn't continue to chase and kill those two people, and snorted softly.
"Thank you so much!" It seemed that Sean and the others were more friendly and saved themselves, so the green-haired man quickly surrounded him and thanked him, "I thought I was going to die, but I'm glad I met you here." ”
"Don't you think we're beating your mind?" Sean glanced at the green-haired man, then said with a chuckle.
This look. The smile on the green-haired man's face quickly froze.
After a closer look, Sean realized that the man in front of him had a very pleasing silhouette. Although he is not very handsome, he has two dimples when he smiles, which makes him look like a very gentle boy next door. His pupils were aqua blue, and his hair was dark green, and it wasn't long, just shoulder-length, slightly curled at the ends. The whole person has a white complexion, but his figure is as thin as Sean has seen before. This may be the reason why he doesn't have much power.
Even at this moment, because of the frozen smile, Sean did not feel any negative feelings that the other party was afraid of, but instead looked like he was resigned to his fate.
"Why didn't you run away?" Sean couldn't help but ask.
"Because it's useless to run." The man said helplessly. At the same time, he also glanced at Harding, Rottikabas and others. "I'm not a fool, you can solve the villain who chased me for almost half an hour by yourself, how can I be your opponent. …… So, I had to resign myself to my fate. ”
"It's honest." Sean smiled, but then shrugged, "Okay then, I only have a few questions for you......"
"Will you let me go after asking?" The man asked rhetorically with an excited face.
Sean had a strange look on his face, but he still spoke, "Then it depends on my mood and your answer." ”
"I promise to know everything." The green-haired man nodded very diligently. Pose as if you were listening, "First of all." Allow me to introduce myself. …… My name is Lancet, Lancer. Gallian. Yellin, a man from a small coastal country in the north, currently walks the continent with the intention of becoming a bard. ”
"Bard?" Sean gave the self-proclaimed Lenster a strange look.
If it was really a bard, then it would explain why his strength was only the upper silver, but he dared to go deep into a place like the inner circle of the Savage Land. Unless there are really vicious races or monsters, not everyone will attack a bard, mainly because there is no benefit or benefit, after all, the bard is notoriously poor - in fact, they are not really poor, but most bards will spend all the money they earn that day.
Of course, the Bard profession is also not very popular with players in the game, mainly because the attack methods are too simple, and the combat position it is engaged in also conflicts with some clergy professions. Therefore, with the exception of some groups of players who do not have a clergy of the church, or quest maps that clergy players cannot enter, no team is willing to level up with the bard, and even some major guilds are unwilling to accept players of this class.
It's just that although this Lancet is unusually frank, Sean still knows that the other party didn't tell him the truth.
At least he chose to keep his race a secret.
"But if it's a bard, what about your guitar?" Sean asked rhetorically.
Bards are a special profession, and in addition to fighting with weapons such as bows and arrows and swords, their musical instruments also belong to the category of combat weapons. Of course, the instruments used by the bards differed according to their own preferences, but they were generally dominated by the six-stringed harp, which was a common instrument for male bards, and the harp, which was a common instrument for female bards.
"Guitar?" Lancet was stunned for a moment, "What's that?" ”
"It's your six-stringed instrument." The guitar is the game's generic name for the male bard's instrument, but apparently no one in this world will know about it, so Sean quickly changed his tune.
"Blame those damn guys for destroying my six-stringed instrument, damn it!" Lancet exclaimed angrily, but then his face became a little surprised, "How do you know that I use a six-stringed instrument?" ”
Sean rolled his eyes: "Because the vast majority of male bards use the six-stringed instrument as an accompaniment, of course, it is not ruled out that they will use other instruments, but you just don't look like it." …… above my intuition. ”
"Your instincts are right." At this time, the expression on Lenster's face and body movements were very worthy of his status as a bard, and it was very exaggerated.
"Why the hell are those guys going after you?" It seems that if Sean continues to talk like this, he doesn't know when he will be able to ask the real content. So Cecilia couldn't help but interject, "The slave catchers here in the Savage Land won't attack humans at will." ”
"Because." Lancet's voice grew softer. He even brought a bard's unique voice change, which made Sean roll his eyes, "I know a big secret!" This secret is a treasure! There is an ancient relic buried beneath this territory, and that ......"
Before Lancet could finish speaking, Sean sighed: "Is the treasure you are talking about the Ancient Tomb of the Beastmaster, or the Secret Treasure of the Water Demon, or the Winged Man Holy Land?" ”
All the way. Sean followed the map, so he knew which tribe the territory belonged to. So when Lancet said that there was a treasure buried beneath this territory, Sean roughly knew that it must be a dungeon treasure. It's just that this territory belongs to the rule of a third-class tribe. So in fact, there are three dungeon treasures in this area, but it is not very clear which treasure Lance is talking about, so he simply reported the names of these three treasures.
Only, for these three treasures. Sean was not interested at all.
The Tomb of the Beastmaster is a deserted dungeon. The difficulty of the challenge is only high-grade silver, and the result is a decayed Beastmaster battle axe, which needs to complete a series of troublesome follow-up tasks before it can be restored into a powerful silver-grade demonic weapon. If it was valuable, then Sean wouldn't mind taking it, but the tomahawk was a short-handled axe, not Alfred's usual weapon, and Sean didn't have anyone under Shaun who used an axe.
As for the Water Demon Vault, it produces a pearl of the deep. However, it is actually a magic replica item, so it can only be used five times. The effect is to provide the wielder with up to thirty minutes of underwater breathing time. Five times together is only two and a half hours of underwater breathing time, which is also a chicken rib prop.
And the Winged Man Holy Land, the things produced are not bad, a trident-shaped weak gold-grade demonic weapon. It's just that this dungeon happens to be near the third-class tribe, and it is also under the holy land built by that tribe, and to enter this ruin is equivalent to destroying the holy land of the third-class tribe, Sean is not so stupid. When this ruin was discovered in the game, it was because of the player's task that clashed with the tribe, and as a result, he directly used the power of the guild to bulldoze the tribe without doing anything, and then discovered the entrance to this ruin.
And Lancet, after hearing Sean's words, looked at Sean in disbelief, his eyes were completely straight, and his voice became even more stammered: "You...... You...... How do you know? No, why do you know so many treasures, I ...... It took me a lot of trouble to find out about the Water Demon Vault...... I...... Are you also here for these treasures? ”
"It's not." Sean rolled his eyes again.
"You already know about these treasures?" Rottikabas looked at Sean, his voice and expression were not surprised, as if he was accustomed to Sean's erudition, "Why don't you tell us?" ”
"We weren't here for these treasures." Sean said lightly, "And there are no good things in these dungeons." With that, Sean turned his head again and began to look at Lancet, and then said, "I now believe that you are a bard." …… With your professional ability, it is not difficult to find out the secret location of such treasures, but the Savage Land is not something that anyone can easily break into, so you better stop thinking about these treasures. ”
As if he hadn't heard Sean's words, Lance kept looking at the people around Sean, and then he noticed that everyone didn't seem to be curious about Sean's secret to knowing these treasures, even if they hadn't heard Sean mention it before.
It's as if they've known that Sean is a very knowledgeable person, and that he often makes unexpected moves, and they're used to it. And Lancet, after making this discovery, he suddenly had a strong curiosity about Sean, so when Sean was about to leave, he suddenly ran forward and stopped Sean and the others.
"What else do you want to do?" Sean looked at the bard in front of him with some amusement.
"You seem to be very knowledgeable." Lancet stared at Sean very seriously before speaking.
"It's okay." Sean thought about it, he felt that he was not erudite, at most he knew some things and secrets that were not known in the world today.
"So do you know what the treasure inside the Water Demon Vault is?" Lancet asked again.
This time, everyone looked at Sean with a little more curiosity, and it was clear that they also wanted to know the answer.
"A replica of the Pearl of the Deep." Sean started to get a little impatient, "I'm not interested in that treasure at all. ”
"Wait a minute." Seeing that Sean and the others were about to leave again, Lancet was also a little anxious, "That's right, it is indeed an imitation of the Pearl of the Deep......" When he said this, Ranster's gaze at Sean also became strange, "Although I don't know how you know, you should know the value of the Pearl of the Deep." ”
"A true pearl of the deep is truly priceless." Sean's brows furrowed, and he was a little annoyed by Lance's entanglement, and the same Rottikabas and the others looked at Lancet a little unkindly, "But it's just an imitation, it can only provide five uses at most, and each time it doesn't last more than thirty minutes, I don't think this thing will be of any value." …… Perhaps, when it runs out of uses, it can be sold for one or two thousand gold coins. ”
One or two thousand gold coins, if he and Cecilia were still mercenaries, then Sean would still be a little interested, but now it is really difficult for him to be interested in one or two thousand gold coins. In particular, it is not easy to go to the Water Demon Vault, this kind of benefit is completely disproportionate to the risk, and it can even be said that it is a loss-making transaction.
"You are indeed very knowledgeable, but...... Have you ever wondered why there is only such a pearl of the deep in a dungeon treasure? ”
Hearing Ranster's words, Sean was stunned for a moment, and then thought deeply.
The so-called dungeon treasure is only in dungeon mode when it is first opened, which means that everyone can enter it as long as they find the entrance to the dungeon, and they will fight and compete in a map. Therefore, the income of a dungeon treasure has actually been fixed for a long time, and the more teams enter, the less the income of each team will naturally be in the end, which is why there will always be a problem of malicious PK when the dungeon is opened.
Once the dungeon is cleared, it will be converted to dungeon mode, where all teams will be able to access it, and it won't be on the same map.
At that time, there were four teams in the Wasteland Water Demon Vault, and each of them had a video of the Wasteland. Although three of them were eliminated in the process of clearing the wasteland, when the fourth team successfully cleared the dungeon, the final harvest was only less than 30,000 gold coins, even if you count the income of the other three teams, the overall income is not even 50,000.
However, there were a total of seven teams involved in the dungeon development of the Beastmaster Ancient Tomb, and in the end, the harvest was evenly distributed, and each team had an income of nearly 100,000 gold coins.
That's a big difference.
It's just that after the water demon secret was successfully opened up by that team, it did become a copy mode.
Sean's brows furrowed, and he suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be that the land reclamation is incomplete?
If the wasteland is incomplete, the dungeon will also become a dungeon, but this dungeon is naturally incomplete. Of course, there is no chance of remediation, but the effort required is more troublesome than the first time the dungeon was cleared, and the mere triggering of a series of hidden conditions is very frustrating.
"You don't know, you seem, right?" Seeing Sean's brows furrowed, Lancet guessed, "The replica of the Pearl of the Deep is just a surface arrangement, and it is also the key to entering the real Water Demon Vault. Strictly speaking, that treasure should be called the Mermaid Treasure. (To be continued......)
