Banner of the Evil God

The four towns in the northwest, from south to north, are Rye Town, Pyroxene Town, Gold Rush Town and Dragon Roar Town.

Rye Town is the only place in this area with a large area of ​​fertile land that has not been polluted by negative energy. Agriculture is well developed here, and all the high-end agricultural products in the four towns are produced here.

There are many low-end gem mines near Pyroxene Town, and some rare and precious gems are occasionally produced in the veins. It is the easiest place to get rich overnight among the four towns, and it also concentrates the most adventurers and lawless elements. Or to put it another way, this is almost the core of the four towns in the northwest.

There are gold veins near Gold Rush Town. Although the quality is very low and the output is not much, the charm of the yellow gold is hard to resist. A large number of people who want to get rich gather here. Although most of them are actually very poor, they have made this town prosperous. But in fact, the main output of Gold Rush Town is copper and iron ore.

The northernmost of the four towns is Longhou Town. This town is located at the exit of a rather narrow mountain road. Going along the mountain road, you will find a relatively less barren area in the Desolate Mountains, which is rich in various monsters from goblins to dragons. Therefore, the main output of this town is the materials of various monsters. As for how many skeletons of monsters who died in their stomachs are buried behind these materials, who cares?

Originally, according to the plan, Gerard - or Sui Xiong - was going to Longhou Town, to the dragon cave in the deep mountains, to have a cordial and friendly negotiation with the evil dragon "Frost Tyrant" who has lived here and has been causing trouble to the residents for more than 50 years, to let it move, and by the way, to receive a bonus of 5,000 gold coins for this successful negotiation. But now, they have more important things to do.

Treasure hunting

"One is to drive away the dragon, the other is to find the treasure. Both are very interesting and full of the feeling of classic European role-playing games." Sui Xiong said happily, "The only question is, which one is the main task? And... is there a time limit for the task system of this game?"

He is not worried about the problem of "task failure". After more than ten days of adjustment, he has adjusted the jellyfish body. Now this body is nearby and can be used at any time.

When he goes all out, he is fearless!

The new form of Sui Xiong's body is like a large translucent balloon. Under the body that is large enough to build a village on top, there are many powerful tentacles hanging down, and dozens of spiral blades are distributed throughout the body, which can provide power to go in all directions. The dense magic runes all over the body allow this huge body to float in the air easily and change color at any time, producing an invisible effect.

For example, at this moment, Gerard is working in the Adventure Guild of the Gold Rush Town, while Sui Xiong, whose huge body can flatten the entire Gold Rush Town if it falls, is floating in the air two or three hundred meters above the ground, squinting his eyes to enjoy the gentle breeze and warm sunshine, and by the way, absorbing endless magic power from the air and sunshine to contribute to the improvement of his strength.

But in the Gold Rush Town, not even one resident can see the big monster in the sky.

"To be a high-level player, you must level up every day without slacking off. Even if you can't find a suitable monster to spawn for the time being, at least you must stick to the game. You must know that if you don't advance, you will retreat. Even if you used to be a high-level player, if you don't level up for a while, you will be caught up by others, or even far behind. It's like writing online novels. After a year of rest, you will find that your popularity has dropped to a terrible level, and the number of collections and clicks is not even a fraction of the past. The fall of the previous car is a lesson for the following car!"

In the cold current that was enough to freeze mortals to death, the huge floating jellyfish yawned silently and felt drowsy.

He was not worried that Gerald would be in danger. Not to mention that the big guy seemed to be quite capable. Even if Gerald encountered a situation that he couldn't handle himself, he would have his soul clone left in the bone bracelet to help.

"Dear sir, this is the bonus for the task of 'destroying the orc wolf riders'." The half-elf waitress of the Adventure Guild handed over a piece of metal that was shining with magic light with both hands, her face full of respect.

A strong man who could defeat the bandit group that had been ravaging the four towns for many years by himself is certainly respectable. If it weren't for the huge difference in their physiques, she would even want to seduce this young strong man. Even if she couldn't get a long-term meal ticket, it would be a good thing to have a baby and give birth to a descendant with the blood of a giant!

In this world, blood inheritance is a very common thing. The descendants of the strong must have a higher starting point than the descendants of ordinary people. As long as they work hard enough and have some luck, they can become a family force that people look up to.

In the four towns in the northwest, the most important family is such a family. Although they usually hide in the dark and are reluctant to show up easily to avoid becoming the target of public criticism, all major organizations respect them. Not only do they discuss major matters with them, but sometimes they will be the first to be involved when they encounter some huge benefits that they dare not take alone and must share with everyone.

The young waitress naturally did not expect to become the founder of such a big family, but this did not prevent her from daydreaming a little.

Gerard took the nameplate engraved with magic runes, and after a brief inspection, he confirmed that the information was correct. He could use this nameplate to go to the temple of the god of commerce to collect 2,000 gold coins, and he couldn't help but smile.

Although he already had a huge sum of money, how could he not be happy to have such a large sum of money easily.

"I will also issue a task to recruit two people." He said, "One is a thief, who must be proficient in traps and not believe in the gods of the night; the other is a clergyman, who must be proficient in healing and have the same beliefs."

The waitress's eyes turned, and she immediately understood a little, and asked with a sweet smile: "Are you looking for a treasure hunting companion? Why not find an experienced wizard?"

"As for wizards, we have one here." Gerard pointed to Palin who was sitting not far away reading a book, "Although he is not very old, he is quite reliable."

The waitress looked at Palin carefully and shook her head slightly. She has worked in the Adventure Guild for several years and has long honed her extraordinary eyesight. This young dwarf wizard may be very talented and hardworking, but he obviously does not have much strength.

Mages are divided into two categories, academic and practical. The former has the advantage of knowing many spells and techniques, and is said to be able to beat all enemies with full preparation. The latter specializes in the practical application of spells, and is said to have a combat power that is several blocks away from the academic school. This is not bragging. In some extreme emergencies, a dozen academic school mages may not be able to defeat a practical school mage. Both have their own strengths, and there is no necessary superiority or inferiority.

There is no high or low type of mage, but there is a gap between spellcasters. The young dwarf mage is inexperienced and has limited reserves. Even if he is not a complete rookie, at least he is still far from the title of "old man" or "combat mage".

It is not practical to expect such a young man to help at a critical moment!

"To be honest, I think you should find another spellcaster." She whispered, "It's better to be prepared. And it can also let the young mage learn more useful experience from the predecessors, so he will not suffer any loss."

Gerald pondered for a moment and accepted this suggestion.

"Then please wait a moment. I will sort out the information for you and give you a list of qualified personnel."

"No need to bother." A voice with a forced smile came, and it was an old man wearing light leather armor and with a frosted face who came over. "It's just treasure hunting. This big guy, the little wizard, plus me, three people are enough."

Gerald was stunned and turned his head to look. He felt that this man was a little too old and couldn't help but doubt his strength. The waitress was startled and hurriedly lowered her head to avoid being seen by her surprised expression.

But in fact, her expression had already been clearly seen by Sui Xiong's soul perception.

"Gerald, this old man is probably not an ordinary person, be careful."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Looking at Gerald's scrutinizing eyes, the old man seemed very calm, without any panic: "My name is Ryan, 'Quick Hand' Ryan. I think this nickname is enough to prove my strength. In these four towns, you will never find a thief more powerful than me."

Gerald frowned: "Although the nickname 'Quick Hand' is powerful, it is not about traps and mechanisms. You are a gold finger (pickpocket), right? What I want is an expert in traps and mechanisms."

This world is not a game, of course there is no level. The strength and reputation of adventurers often need to be judged by their nicknames.

Nicknames are not self-selected, but are selected by the guild based on the adventurers' past experiences, and then let them choose by themselves. These nicknames are divided into several levels, and experienced adventurers can tell the strengths and weaknesses of each other just from the nicknames.

The lowest-level adventurers have no nicknames, just like Palin at this moment. They are just rookies, with neither awe-inspiring strength nor convincing achievements. They are pure rookies.

After passing the rookie stage, adventurers will get the lowest-level nicknames. This kind of nickname is described by the characteristics of their appearance or equipment, such as the "bald" Nien in the past. It means that the adventurer has become famous and can be regarded as a top figure, but it also means that there is no outstanding achievement, just to make the face familiar.

The higher-level title is marked by a convincing achievement. The captain of Gerard's adventure team was nicknamed "Shooting Tiger" because he once shot a tiger with a bow and arrow alone, thus proving his strength. Similar nicknames include "Chasing Wolves", "Beheading Bears", etc., all of which are proof of achievements.

Going up, it is a summary of the adventurer's specialties. Adventurers who can have such a nickname have already excelled in some aspects and can be regarded as the best among their peers. For example, if someone is called "Fast Knife", his knife must be very fast. Ordinary rookies may only see a flash of knife before their heads are chopped off. And if someone is called "Speedy Legs", he must run very fast. It is almost impossible to escape his pursuit.

This old man nicknamed "Fast Hand" is like this. His nickname proves that he has a pair of very flexible and fast hands and is a first-class pickpocket. However, Gerard needs someone who can help him see through traps and crack mechanisms. No matter how powerful the pickpocket is, he can't help.

Faced with Gerald's doubts, Ryan raised his eyebrows, and a proud look appeared on his face: "Young man, it seems that you only know a little about the situation in our four towns! The reason why I am called 'Fast Hands' is not because I am only good at stealing things, but because there is no second person in the four towns whose hands are faster and more dexterous than mine, whether it is stealing things, dismantling traps, or... fighting."

As he said, a cold light flashed, and six or seven daggers were already stuck on the ground around them. Not to mention the waitress with mediocre strength, even Gerald himself could not see clearly how he did it.
