Volume 1 Departure Chapter 3 The Valley of the Rabbits is inhabited by the Meow Meow clan

For goblins, it's an instinct to turn around and run when things aren't going well. They are neither ashamed nor ashamed, and run away without any psychological burden.

The three leading bears all fell, meaning that the "hunt" had failed. Since the "hunt" has failed, isn't it natural to turn around and run? So the little green-skinned monsters ran away without hesitation, and the wooden sticks and stone axes in their hands were thrown everywhere.

Thuric stabbed the fallen bear monster to death with a single sword, and then chased the goblin for a while.

The little green-skinned monster is not strong in combat, but it runs very fast. They fled like headless flies, and it was impossible to annihilate them all unless they were surrounded beforehand. What's more, even if this batch is annihilated, the next batch will appear in a few days. Goblins are not good at anything, but they have an amazing reproduction rate!

In the end, Thulick only hacked a few unlucky people who were in a panic, and the other little green-skinned monsters crawled into the darkness and couldn't find them.

The flames burning in the carriage were quickly extinguished. When Thulick returned to the place where the carriage had overturned, the kittens were busy treating the wounded and cleaning up the mess.

The head kitten man is a wild mage, the little guy who stands on the roof of the carriage and casts a spell, and then gets planted headlong by the bear monster. The fall was obviously not light, and Shulick could see him...... It was she who had several thick layers on her forehead, and blood seeped out from time to time. With tears in her eyes, she thanked her and invited Thuric to come along, along with a small bag of coins.

As for the coin handed over, Thulick accepted it directly without prevarication. While accepting the coin, he expressed his willingness to accept temporary employment. The commission has been received, and now it's time to work.

The cat-man's destination, like Thulick, is the town of Lakesprings. The convoy had a total of fifteen carriages, and it was a caravan composed of several villages and towns in the Yinlin District on the east bank of the misty lake. The original plan was to arrive in Lakesprings before the sun set today. However, due to a heavy rain, the muddy road caused some carriages to break down, which in turn delayed time.

There were three carriages belonging to the kitten people, and two of them broke down.

Since it was not early, the leader of the caravan was worried about the uncertainty of nightfall, so he left behind to repair the tools and materials and set off first. The kittens had to wait for the two wagons to be repaired before moving on.

It was dark when I hit the road again. Is it to spend the night in the wilderness, or to travel another three to four hours at night? Kitten people chose the latter. After all, there are not many combat professionals among them, and the risk of spending the night in the field will be greater. What's more, there are only three to four hours left to get to Lakesprings, so you should be fine if you are careful......

The carriages carried mainly furs and herbs. Shuric looked at it, and was surprised to find that he could distinguish the types of furs and herbs.

The fur is foggy crown leather, which is the raw material used to make high-quality leather clothing. The fur comes from a large but very flexible mountain rabbit, and the name of the mountain rabbit is "fog crown", which is also known as the fog crown rabbit. Remember that one of the missions in the game is to hunt ten Fog-crowned Rabbits, and after completing them, you can get a blueprint for making leather: Mountain Rabbit Skin Gloves.

The herbs are mainly silver celery, deciduous lotus and digging roots. These three herbs are the raw materials of many alchemical potions, and even if the quality is average, they are also sought-after. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have much money at hand, Thulick would have wanted to take this batch of herbs.

There are not many places where there are fog-crowned rabbits and medicinal herbs at the same time. Thulick quickly found a place in his memory.

If the guess is correct, these kitten people should come to a small valley on the east side of the canopy hills. The canopy hill is in the northern part of the Silver Forest District, about a five-day walk from Huquan Town. The valley doesn't have a name in the game, and it reminds Shulick of this place entirely because there have always been gathering players complaining about this place in the forums.

The valley is nicknamed the "Rabbit Nest" by Gathering players, and the Fog Crowned Rabbit refreshes extremely quickly. These bunnies are usually non-aggressive Yellow Monsters, but as soon as a player with herbs approaches, they will immediately turn into active Red Monsters and rush to them!

Caught off guard, players are often drowned in a sea of rabbits before they can react. The general situation should be to release the soul and then run the corpse. There's actually no shame in dying at the hands of rabbits, and there are many players who die in the rat colony when the sewers are cleaned of rats. But the strangest thing about the rabbit nest is the next scene. After the sea of rabbits, the player character with only a little health left hugs the earth in a large font. The equipment on his body was forcibly removed, and the herbs in his backpack were all gone.

It's good not to have to run a corpse, but an empty backpack makes you want to cry without tears. And the player character in front of me, who seems to have been ravaged countless times, and is full of rabbit footprints, is full of joy......

Afterwards, I looked through the battle logs and found out that the Misty Crowned Rabbit would use a skill called "Weed-pulling" to steal herbs from the player. Each successful steal deals ten damage to the player. This damage ignores armor and is immune, but does not cause the player to die.

- The fog-crowned rabbit only grabs herbs. That is, only for money, not for life.

The kitten people are supposed to come from this "rabbit nest" valley. Furs and herbs are the main sources of income for this small valley.

The sudden attack of the goblins and the bearsron startled the horses pulling the cart. The horses rushed down the road in a panic and fell to the side of the road. The lantern in front of the carriage shattered when it was dumped, and oil leaked from the lamp, eventually igniting the flammable fur, followed by the wooden carriage and frame. Then the flames quickly swept through the carriage.

Very little cargo was salvaged from the burned wagon, and most of the goods in a cart were burned. After the battle, the kittens were all wounded, and three of them were not lightly injured. Although there were no fatalities, the cost of treating the injured would be a significant expense.

Winter is coming, and it is too late to prepare such a truckload of goods. This winter, most of the kittens need to tighten their belts to get by.

Thumik expressed great sympathy for the plight of the kittens, but asked him to take real money out of his own pocket to subsidize it, which would have been a refusal. Everyone is just meeting in Pingshui, and they are not relatives, so they can help each other. Expect more? Then I'm sorry, turn around and leave.

The carriage was soon back on the road. Thulick also got a spot in the wagon, saving him the need to walk to Lakesprings.

It seems that the attack just now took away the bad luck. The next journey was thrilling and dangerous, and we arrived at Huquan Town smoothly.

It was already dark at night, and it should have been past eleven o'clock. This time is not at all too late for young people in modern society, and some of them have even just started the so-called nightlife. But in the world of Elune in the medieval setting, eleven o'clock at night is a literal late night!

The gates of Lakesprings were closed in the evening. In the middle of the night, the small door for single access is also locked. After the guards on the gatehouse confirmed the identity of the kitten people, they were allowed to spend the night leaning against the outer walls of the town. Soon after, the caravan also sent food and medicine.

When the kittens were settled, Thurik took his leave.

Walk along the outer wall of the town, to a spot where the torches on the outer wall cannot illuminate, and completely avoid the eyes of the guards, before taking a small ornament from the small bag on his waist.

The ornament is in the form of a beautiful pink bow called "Jasmine's Ribbon Clip". When activated, it provides a five-second buff, and the effect of the buff is to travel through the spirit realm. The spirit realm coincides with reality, and players often use these five seconds to pass through not-so-thick walls, enter secret rooms, or avoid the traps in the maze.

This trinket is so practical that it can be used to shorten the quest process for almost every quest. And it's not very difficult to obtain, as long as you complete the task of the little girl Jasmine. The little girl, Jasmine, is a gluttonous cat, and she can complete the task by choosing seven different delicacies and giving them to her. So this ornament is basically one for everyone.

Slightly infused with magic, the bow is activated. Everything around them dimmed in an instant, leaving only black and white in view. Thulick didn't wait, and immediately slammed into the outer wall of the town.

The exterior walls are not thick, but there is a noticeable sluggishness in navigating through them; The limbs slowly became cold, and gradually spread to the internal organs, which was actually not physical cold, but a chill that went straight to the depths of the soul. Since it was not the first time he had passed through a wall, Thulick was not nervous, and the force under his feet quickly jumped out from the other side of the outer wall.

On the other side of the faΓ§ade is a cluttered yard of depots, with no one but a drunken man lying asleep.

Thurik quickly looked around, and quietly ducked into the darkness, waiting for the time for the spirit realm to pass through.

The colors in the field of vision quickly returned, and the icy chill dissipated as well.

Quietly rising from the darkness, Thulick walked through several secluded alleys, occasionally rolling over low fences. After a while, his figure appeared outside the Adventurer's Guild.

The Adventurer's Guild at night is very lively, and the brightly lit scene contrasts with the closed shops around it. Pushing the door in, a loud noise and a heat wave hit the face - first-time visitors are expected to be startled. The adventurer's guild is a bustling and lively scene. Adventurers are busy drinking, playing cards, or bragging; Stout waitresses walk through from time to time, serving large glasses of beer, barbecue and potatoes.

Thurik's arrival went unnoticed, and he made a beeline for the bounty counter. The bounty counter was deep in the hall, and there were two positions on the counter, one of which was closed, and the other counter was occupied by a halfling on duty. The halfling on duty was dressed in gray cloth and wore a triangular service hat unified by the Adventurer's Guild, half-lying and half-sitting on the counter.

"Hello, I'm going to get a bounty."

Thulick tapped lightly on the countertop, placing two slightly bulging leather bags on the countertop. There is a faint bloodshot on the rope at the mouth of the leather bag.,Inside are the ears of the goblins.。。

The halfling was slow to react, and it took a while to sit up. I saw that his eyes were dull, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't slept for several days. The most striking thing is the crimson scar on his face, which starts at the corner of his left eye, passes through the bridge of his nose, and ends at the right corner of his mouth.

After grinding for a while, the halfling reluctantly grabbed the leather bag and glared at Shulik viciously.

"Wait!"

The halfling's voice was high-pitched, almost wafting out between his teeth, full of grumbling and dissatisfaction. Eventually, though, he staggered and went to the small room behind the counter.

After a while, the halfling man came out and threw a small cloth bag on the counter very rudely.

"Take it, get out!"

You don't have to count at all, just by listening to the sound, you can tell that there are not a few coins in the bag. It's true that the goblin bounty is not high, but two bags full of ears in exchange for this bounty? That's too much, isn't it?

However, Thuric didn't care, he just reached out and took out three copper coins from the cloth bag at random, stacked them in a zigzag shape and pushed them in front of the halfling, and then lowered his voice: "Shanofilu, Lika, Nou." ”

This is a "secret word", a secret word used to control the "gatekeeper".

The caster, who is proficient in mind manipulation, implants fixed feedback into the gatekeeper's consciousness through a series of spells such as instructions, hypnosis, and suggestion, and manipulates it with secret words. The halfling in front of him is the gatekeeper controlled by the caster.

The bloodshot eyes of the halfling man immediately lost their lustre, and his body froze.

Thuric nodded silently in his heart, and then uttered the second secret word: "Dia, Nokasata." ”

With the second whisper, the halfling's eyes regained their brightness and their bodies were free.

"Ahem...... the halfling coughed lightly, and straightened his coat and hat, "Hello, sir." What can work for you? ”

At this moment, the halfling is gentle and elegant, and the extremely impatient guy just now is like two people.

Thuric pointed to the copper coins stacked in a zigzag pattern on the counter: "I want red apples on the straw pile." ”

The halfling grinned a smile, but the crimson scar on his face made his smile look particularly ugly: "Seven copper coins, thank you." ”

Thuric pulled out three more copper coins and a silver coin from his cloth bag and pushed them in front of the halfling.

"Thank you for your patronage." The halfling bowed, then put away the copper and silver coins on the counter, "This is the pie you ordered." He opened a piece of crude linen paper and displayed it on the counter.

The hemp paper is scribbled with jumbled lines and unspoken letters.

Glancing at the hemp paper, Thulick quickly found the hidden information - the address of the secret meeting! He knocked on the counter and signaled that he was done.

The halfling put away the hemp paper and bowed again: "What else can I help you?" ”

Thulik picked up the small cloth bag containing the money and asked casually, "I still need a few more water glasses, who has the goods?" ”

"The rice bucket has just arrived recently, you can go and ask. Also, the fork also has a few good drinking glasses, but the price is ......"

"Okay, I see, thanks."

Thulick tapped on the counter again, signaling that he was fine.

"Thank you for your support...... "The halfling still bowed, then took out another cloth bag from under the counter, held it in both hands and handed it to Thulick, "This is your bounty." Sorry, I just gave the wrong ......."

Shulick nodded noncommittally, and instead of reaching for the cloth bag, he turned around and left the counter: "Help me store it directly, thank you." ”

"Thank you for your understanding...... Then goodbye. ”

The halfling slowly lay down on the counter, and after a while, there was a burst of snoring.

Thulick glanced back, shrugged his shoulders, and left the Adventurer's Guild.
