Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 458 Watch Fort

Falling Dragon Canyon is an important gateway connecting the Emerald Field and the Great Sword Mark Mountain Range. Strictly speaking, it is the most labor-saving and fastest gateway to the Emerald Field.

Of course, if you want to avoid this passage and go from other places, you can only choose to climb over the complex landforms smashed by the giant dragon's sharp claws, thick tail, wide wings and huge dragon body.

Once upon a time, the Emerald Fields were ruled by goblins, trolls, kobolds, ogres and other evil humanoids.

This portal created by the collision of two giant dragons became the main traffic route for the overlord of the Great Swordscar Mountain Range, the Wolf Man, who often descended to wreak havoc on the Emerald Field.

They are like locusts, wherever they pass, there is a bloodbath.

However, time flies and things change.

The former mountain overlord and the mountain giant confronted each other, and neither of them could completely conquer them with their respective strengths.

The rulers of the Emerald Field also replaced a group of new masters.

As for the gateway into and out of the Emerald Field, a dark black war fortress was built by a group of skilled craftsmen.

The majestic city walls and impenetrable fortifications firmly guard the continuous Great Sword Scar Mountain Range, with both ends reaching the coast.

This strong fortress directly made it difficult for the evil ones in the mountains to freely enter and exit.

The unbreakable fortress is like a large gate in the torrent, engraved with four striking characters of "No Passage", which discourages all enemies who try to invade the Emerald Field.

Unless they can pull out this nail deeply set in the Falling Dragon Canyon.

The sky turned white unconsciously, the stars disappeared one by one, the sun rose from the green field, and the warm light was communicating with the coolness of the night that was about to disappear, giving people a sweet sense of fatigue.

The Fort Watch, located in Dragonfall Canyon, has two gates that can be used to enter and exit the Great Swordscar Mountain Range.

One of them is on the west wall, which is the main passageway for the garrison of the Fort Watch, and no one other than the garrison of the fortress is allowed to use it.

This door will only be opened when a major battle occurs, or when the scout team needs to go out on patrol.

The other is on the northernmost side of the city wall, a barrel-shaped building next to the rock wall of the canyon.

In fact, it is not a door, but a spiral staircase that needs to be climbed.

The stairs turned smaller and smaller, and turned higher and higher, until the adventurers felt dizzy and found a small door.Enter sideways, and you will see an adventurer's guild sitting on a flattened canyon.

Many adventurers carrying prey on the way to the trade union to hand in the task, when sitting on the steps dizzy and resting due to climbing the spiral staircase, one of the things they like to do most is to scold this man from Iron Horse Town. The designer of the fortress said that what kind of brain-dead building he designed.

Obviously, the problem can be solved by opening a small door in a remote position of the city wall for adventurers to freely enter and exit, but it is designed to be the same as a spinning top.

They thought it was from the designer's deep malice towards the group of adventurers, so they, under the leadership of the leader, gathered a crowd to protest in the trade union square, forcing them to demolish the brain-dead building.

However, it can be seen from the fact that this spiral staircase has been preserved to this day, their protest is obviously invalid.

As for what happened to the few people who took the lead in making trouble, it is said that they were forcibly thrown into the mining area for free for a month for renovation.

What is surprising is that after serving their sentences, these thorny heads actually chose to actively join the forces of Overwatch Castle.

The specific reason is unknown, unless someone is willing to use the same method to renovate the mining area for a month.

The adventurer's guild in the early morning is undoubtedly the most lively.

This place is like the rush hour for work, hundreds of people gather here, waiting for the reward bar on the wall to refresh the task, then go to the lobby to receive the task they want, and disappear into the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range.

As for whether he can come back?
Hehe, almost no one cares about other people's problems in their spare time, or maybe they don't even care about it themselves.

Most adventurers probably think that adventure is a game of life.

If they can persevere, for them, every morning is the best blessing, and every day alive is a gift.

Oh, and as for the scars, broken bones, sore limbs, and occasional bouts of pain, one would think those were just tender caresses.

Of course, there are also people who don’t like taking risks. They think that only successful adventures are called adventures, and failed adventures cannot be called adventures, but are called: death.

So people who hear this sentence will pretend to retort deeply:

There are too many things in this world that cannot be achieved even with a hundred efforts, but we must always have small expectations and dreams, and try those adventures that we know nothing about the results.In my opinion, this is the courage that adventurers have been looking forward to.

These adventurers may be in groups of three or four, chatting noisily, bragging to each other about the possible gains of this adventure.

Or show a mocking look at those unlucky guys with bandages and new scars on their faces, or stand in the crowd and yell to recruit players with the same experience because of the team's downsizing.

Although it is as noisy as a vegetable market, most people are restrained.

No matter how fierce the quarrel due to task conflicts is, no matter how blushing and thick necked, or even swearing, he will not roll up his sleeves, pick up his weapons, and fight to the death.

Because on this flattened mountaintop square, a group of knights belonging to the 'Golden Thorn Rose' Knights patrolled around the adventurers non-stop.

Whenever they encounter troublemakers, they will indiscriminately arrest all participants directly and cleanly, and escort them into the mining area to experience the life of a miner with the kobold miners, or the kind that does not pay wages.

After a certain period of time, after the mining area was overcrowded, these prickly bosses finally understood what it means to obey the rules.

The Golden Thorn Rose Knights is a cavalry regiment jointly formed by all the territories of the Emerald Field.For everyone in the Emerald Field, being able to pass the assessment and join this cavalry regiment is undoubtedly equivalent to joining the special forces.

Since they were just patrolling here, these knights did not wear armor with higher defense, but some close-fitting chain armor that was easy to move around, and a cloak with a thorn rose pattern on it.

The color of the cloak is the same as that of the city walls of the Fortress Fortress, a dark black full of heavy texture.

When the door of the adventurer's guild was opened, the noisy crowd immediately rushed over like a tide. Some people went to the lobby to hand over the mission and then receive new missions, while some stronger adventurers focused their attention on one by one. On the bounty bar.

At this time, a young man dressed as a staff member held a circled yellowed paper and limped towards the reward column.

There are a large number of reward tasks posted on the reward columns on the wall, and the yellowed paper also describes the information of each rewarded creature in as much detail as possible.

The protagonists of these bounties are mostly wolf men, hobgoblins, bear goblins, and hill giants, and occasionally there will be some snakemen from the deepest mountains.

The purpose of rewarding them is not because a certain part of these monsters is particularly valuable, or can be used as a precious magic material.It's because these guys wandering around the mountains have posed a fatal threat to the travel of many relatively weak adventurers.

These monsters and beasts that can honorably join the bounty list are undoubtedly very vicious.

These creatures are often highly intelligent, and adventurers who attempt to hunt them often alternate between being hunter and prey.

In other words, when you are ready to enter the mountains to hunt, you have become the prey of other creatures, and even some monsters' favorite pleasure is to kill adventurers.

Taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, they leap and shuttle between the trees, revealing sharp fangs and sharp claws in dark corners, and when you don't notice, they rush out and take your life.

So the function of the bounty bar is actually more to remind adventurers to be careful of these dangerous hunters and try to avoid their range of activities when going out.

In the bounty list, there are very few monsters that can really be cleaned up by adventurers. Most of them are jointly wiped out by members of the Golden Thorn Knights in Fort Watch.

Even so, the number of papers on the reward column is still increasing bit by bit with the passage of time, and there are even some who rely on their own strength to dominate the list for several months.

After all, the rolling Great Sword Scar Mountain Range is too big, and Overwatch Castle is the only civilized settlement near the entire mountain range.

Then countless adventurers from all over the world gathered here to make a fortune or seek excitement, and also attracted a large number of monsters who like to act as hunters.Let the game of hunter and prey continue to play out in the mountains.

It can be seen from this that it is almost impossible for the territory of the Emerald Field to conquer the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range in a short period of time. They can only use the method of attracting adventurers to eat away the threat of the Mountain Range step by step.

"Damn it! Why hasn't this 'cute killer Hogg' been killed? I haven't been out for a month. If this continues, I won't be able to open the pot."

An adventurer in a black robe with wolf leather lining looked at the gnoll in the bounty and said very depressed.

When the other adventurers heard the words, they locked their eyes on the image of the Gnoll with the crimson mane and the hideous scars on the face, and most of them turned a little ugly.

'Hogg the New Killer' is not the name of the Gnoll, but the nickname given to him by the adventurers.

As for his specific name?Perhaps only the dead have the chance to know.

Of course, it's also possible that this jackal didn't have the habit of killing people.

In short, it is right to call him a jackal.

Anyway, these demonic legacies look pretty much the same.

As the name of the wolf man said, the favorite thing for this wolf man who has reached the third level is to sneak up on new adventurers.

He is a hunter with excellent stealth, sneak attack, assassination ability, and most of all, he is very cunning.

As long as there are two or more adventurers walking together, he will never show up.

He only picks out the single ones.

If so, when he finds his prey, he will follow behind him for a while, and only choose to attack after he thinks he has enough confidence.

Then he was killed with one blow, and fled away.

It can be said that Goudao has been brought into full play.

Therefore, as long as it is the prey targeted by the 'cute killer Hogg', it has never missed.

In just two months, fifty or sixty adventurers were killed, including more than a dozen members of the Golden Thorn Rose Knights.

It is precisely because of the appearance of this wolf man that most adventurers dare not wander alone outside the mountains.

There is no way, the range of activities of the wolf man is too wide.

Even if they knew the hunting rules of the wolf man, no one would dare to bet with their lives that the other party would always abide by the rules of the game.

Moreover, the Knights of the Golden Thorns launched more than a dozen consecutive plans to encircle and suppress him within a month, but each time they returned empty-handed.

In the words of these members of the knight order: I didn't even see a hair, and I killed a fart.

Even if Horat, the half-drow elf from Twilight Town who is proficient in assassination and lurking skills, went, he still returned without success.

The next day, I could still hear the news that a certain Mengxin who was not afraid of death was killed by a wolf man.

Even with the fear of the wolf man, some people have begun to spread how the wolf man kills the prey and eats it cruelly.

To put it simply, the jackal will first disembowel the prey, then pick up a stone and smash the head open, and then "suck away", sucking out the bone marrow all at once.

As for why this jackal hates adventurers so much, no one knows the specific reason.

However, the credibility of one rumor is quite high.

It is said that this jackal is not only a follower of Mara, the god of hunting, but also the leader of a tribe of black blood people deep in the mountains.

But his lair was taken over by the rangers from Waterfall Town. His wife and children were all gone, and it was burnt to the brim, and he was the only one who escaped.

From then on, this sad wolf-man wandered around the Overwatch Castle, doing nothing, and only picked on the lonely Meng Xin.

Under the expectant eyes of a group of adventurers, the crippled staff member did not tear off a bounty mission, but added another one.

what does this mean?
It means that in their adventure today, not only did the danger level not decrease, but it increased a bit.

As a result, everyone turned their attention to the reward information that the staff had just posted.

"Fuck! White Dragon!" A sharp-eyed adventurer was the first to notice the introduction above, and couldn't help but exclaim.

The crowd became a hustle and bustle, and the voices of whispering continued one after another.

Obviously, everyone was talking about this white dragon who was honored on the list.

Some people even began to speculate how long this white dragon could dominate the rankings.

The one known to dominate the list for the longest time is a frost giant who is proficient in storm magic and has a bunch of younger brothers.

This big blue-skinned idiot who likes to eat adventurers like popsicles has been on the bounty list for three and a half months.

In the end, when there was really no other way, the management staff of the fortress personally invited a ranger from Pushang Town to solve the problem.

At that time, the head was embalmed, and it is still hanging at the main entrance of the Watch Castle.

Because of this, annoyed a tribe of frost giants.

Kill the young ones, and the old ones come.

Taking advantage of the approaching cold wave, more than 200 frost giants led a large group of hill giants to launch a surprise attack on Fort Watcher.

Then the wizard tower in the town of Falls sent a brigade of construction golems, including a steel golem, and they cooperated with the Golden Thorn Rose Knights to repel this group of stupid frost giants cleanly.

The second place is the Jackal known as the 'Cute Killer Hogg'.

Most people believed that this old silver coin gnoll, who had learned the way of 'dog', could definitely surpass the silly-looking frost giant.

"Don't get excited, this is just a very timid young white dragon, and the wizards in Twilight Town have already set their sights on this dragon. As long as they find any traces of him, they will immediately arrange for a dragon slaying team to rush over." The lame staff smiled and appeased everyone:

"As long as someone can find out the exact location of this white dragon, if the news is true, you can directly get 5000 gold coins, 5000 gold coins."

5000 gold coins!

The adventurers went crazy instantly, and those who had just walked out of the hall gathered together following the sound.

Many people began to secretly speculate that it was the wizard in Twilight Town who was so interested in the white dragon.

More than three years have passed since the decisive battle with the hobgoblins ended, and the age of the Fortress Fortress, which was jointly established by six towns, also has a history of two and a half years.

Moreover, it has withstood two attacks from the Wolf Man and the Frost Giant, both of which ended in perfect victories.

In the past three years, all the forces in the wilderness have been accumulating and developing.

In the entire territory of the Emerald Field, there are three groups of wizards.

The first is the wizard organization formed by Twilight Town and Yuanshan Town. Because of their weak foundation, they belong to the weakest group.

Then there is Iron Horse Town, a group of players from the Wizarding League headed by Wizard Randall.

These people are connected with the Wizarding Union and can always receive a lot of player wizards from the Wizarding Union.

They have the largest number of wizards, but the quality is a bit uneven.

Finally, there is the Emerald Tower in Fallstown.

On the bright side, they are led by a human, a Squidward, and a dark elf, and they have a complete wizard tower. This is undoubtedly the strongest wizard group in the entire Emerald Field.

As for why a group of wealthy wizards in Twilight Town attracted Bailong's attention, it is unknown.

After all, they are wizards, and it is quite normal to study weird things all day long.

Some people even joked that wizards are like whitewashed tombs, beautiful on the outside, but only rotting flesh and bones inside.

"You can push it down. The white dragon's lair is usually located in an ice cave deep underground away from sunlight. How could it appear in the dark forest and deep sky near the mountain range. Unless you go through half the mountain range, go to Mount Warners to find it. It's settled, it's settled, and I won't join in the fun here with you guys who want money and life."

A warrior in a broken chain mail shirt carried a huge sword with a palm width and walked towards the bustling street inside the fortress.

Follow his gaze and you can see that this dude has been staring at a bar called 'My Fair Lady'.

"That's right, there have been more and more monsters in the past few months. I don't dare to go out of the Overwatch Castle. I still want to find the White Dragon. I guess even if I find it, the problem will be solved with a breath of the dragon." An adventurer followed suit.

"I heard that white dragons like to eat frozen prey the most. They enjoy the crunchy feeling very much. And after being frozen into ice sculptures by the white dragon's breath, you will not die on the spot. Your eyes full of fear will shine through the crystal clear ice." I watched as my body was crushed by the sharp teeth of the white dragon." An adventurer dressed as a rogue described it vividly to everyone as if he was actually there.

Immediately, most of the adventurers who were interested in the 5000 gold coins put away their greedy gazes and moved away from Bailong's reward paper.

Obviously, it's one thing to seek excitement and another to die for nothing.

Just when a group of adventurers looked at the reward bar and left disappointed.

In the shadows, an extremely inconspicuous energy cloud emerged, and a figure appeared silently.

Afterwards, the figure went straight to the reward column, paused, and without hesitation reached out and tore off most of the yellowed paper that recorded the reward information.

It also includes the 'cute new killer Hogg' who has dominated the list for a long time, and the white dragon who just posted it.

Accompanied by the sound of paper being torn off one after another, all surprised, shocked, puzzled, and even foolish eyes all turned to this figure from behind.

When the figure turned around, everyone found that it was a half-elf who tore the list.

Apart from the two unpretentious sharp swords with sheaths hanging from his waist, he doesn't have any conspicuous equipment.

"Calculate the amount of these rewards for me, and then send them all to the Emerald Tower." The half-elf looked at the surprised staff who could stuff a duck egg into his mouth, threw more than a dozen rewards into his hand, and handed them to He had a dimensional bag: "This is full of heads on the bounty list."

"You are... you are Thorne, the ranger from Fallstown?" Finally, the staff who came back to their senses recognized the identity of the person who came.

"It was him!"

Hearing the name of the person reported by the staff of the Adventurer's Union, the adventurers immediately boiled over.

The Conferred God War three years ago was known to everyone in the player community, and everyone knew Thorne's contribution clearly.

With his appearance, he directly beheaded the leader of the hobgoblin, and killed a group of high-level priests of the dark king like chickens and dogs, and finally rushed into the center of the hobgoblin army alone, shaking out a large group of helpers, and established the battle. The victory of the great war.

Also, when the fortress of Overwatch Castle was not yet completed, the other party even entered the tribe of gnolls who were trying to attack the fort several times alone, killing the group of gnolls and disbanding on the spot.

Half a year ago, when everyone couldn't deal with the frost giant, it was the ranger from Pushang Town, the owner of the Emerald Tower, who solved it cleanly.

Does this mean... Most of the awakened adventurers started to look away, some looked at the few rewards boards, and some looked at the yellowed paper in the hands of the staff.

Sure enough, it was discovered that the 'Cute New Killer Hogg' Gnoll had disappeared, and the reward paper was in the hands of the staff.

"Exactly." Thorn nodded slightly, ready to turn and leave.

"Your Excellency Thorn, you...you wait a moment." The staff noticed the bounty offered by the white dragon that was torn off by the ranger, hesitated, and finally stopped him.

"What else is there?" Thorne stopped and said.

"The task of White Dragon is to know where he is hiding, so if you want to get his reward, please tell me the news, so that I can notify the wizards in Twilight Town to confirm." The staff said.

"It turned out to be the case. I thought it would be fine if I killed him." Thorne immediately came to his senses, then smiled helplessly, and continued: "In this case, I don't want the reward from the white dragon. He has been killed by me."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the group of people and turned around to leave.

Vaguely, he heard complaints from the chaotic crowd:

"Bailong, you should leave the group quickly!"

"I didn't expect that the record for the shortest time to dominate the list was broken by Bailong. It was only 1 minute and 32 seconds. I don't think anyone will be able to break this record in the future. It is indeed the shame of the Dragon Clan!"

"If the Bailong clan knew, they might have fainted in the toilet from crying."

"Hush... Keep your voice down! Be careful that this fortress has been brushed by the ancient white dragon as a dungeon."
