Vol 9 Chapter 3: Desert ancient city

I can't believe my eyes, but take a breath to calm down, and then look up at the coordinates, then I understand that my good fortune has been blown into the legendary ancient city in the desert.
An ancient city like Loulan is buried under the desert. If it happens, it will be blown away after a strong wind and sand, and I am that lucky.
In terms of the architectural style of this ancient city, it should be from the same era as the Youcheng, which is the site of the last game of Tianji Company. Generally speaking, Hailan will not keep such an abandoned city under the sand for no reason. It is estimated that Is there any task or treasure here?
I wanted to give Tiandi a rich message, and asked him to choose a group of brothers with advanced exploration and archaeological skills. However, thinking that the soldiers sent so many people to block our way back, the brothers of Friendship City would have difficulty breaking through easily. I had to give up and call up the remaining mounts to fly and explore alone in the ancient city.
With the experience of the Youcheng, I have counted the various buildings in this ancient city. After searching for important places such as the main house of the Library and Armory City, I have not found much.
Judging from a preliminary examination, this city called "Bian" is not like the Youcheng that was destroyed and destroyed by the demon gods. The residents here should be moved away because of the harsh environment, leaving basically nothing valuable.
Suddenly, in front of a well, I saw a dead body.
Although the corpse's water had been lost, I still recognized him as the traveler Aji from his clothes and lines.
I have been wondering why Aji received no results after receiving that mission, but I did not expect that he died in the desert. Although he has system protection and will not be attacked by monsters, he cannot escape the system after all. Thirst setting.
Perhaps he should know some supply points in the desert, but when he saw the ancient city in the desert, he couldn't control his emotions, lingered in the city, and finally died of adventure .
If I don't help him evolve, let him have deeper emotions, maybe now he is still providing tasks for players in a certain place and repeating the same life thousands of times according to the setting of the sea blue.
After getting rid of the established destiny, there is no way to be blessed by the Lord God. The only thing waiting for him is destruction. Is this what Hai Lan wants to tell me?
Without burying Aji's body, in the desert, burying is meaningless. After I slowly found a travel diary and a pair of "night traveler boots" from him, the system prompts me: "Cannot collect anymore article".
The traveler's boots are not very agile, but the characteristic is that there is no sound when walking, but it is quite useful. The travel diary is definitely a good thing. I carefully opened it.
The content of this diary is extremely rich. It records the experiences of Aji's life. I believe that there are many places and monsters that have not been contacted by the player at present. There is no time to research, so I turn to the last page.
The handwriting on the last page has been scribbled, and it seems that Aji left before his death: "I was obsessed with the beautiful mystery of the ancient city, I was reluctant to leave ... A sand scorpion moved to me, I am not afraid, there is the Lord God Blessing ... The sand scorpion attacked my water bag ... Are you punishing me, Lord, because I betrayed the fate you arranged for me? Punishing me has a strong human curiosity? ... Weakness in human emotions, so I am destroyed, just like many intelligences in this world that were destroyed by the Lord God ... I understand, but I do not regret ... "
Looking at this passage, my eyes were a little moist, and Aji ’s evolution was beyond my imagination. He is already a npbsp with quite rich emotions; but what makes me even more shocked is that Aji ’s notes mention that Hailan Will destroy those npbsp who have negative human emotions; Hailan supports the intelligences she controls to get emotions, but according to Aji ’s guess, she does n’t like certain emotions in humans, like Lorne ’s ruthlessness and Shepherd ’s betrayal Wait.
Of course, remembering what Hai Lan said before, the reason why Ron Shepherd would be destroyed is mainly because they want to take their own path and change their destiny. For such anti-Skybreakers, she will never forgive, even if it is just like Ah Kyrgyzstan.
Hopefully, Aji's guess is just a guess, otherwise, Hailan will destroy the npc she doesn't like now, and I'm afraid she will destroy the humans she doesn't like ...
After sorrowing for Aji, I did not stop exploring the border town. The time was urgent. After Odin I ’s resurrection, they would surely rush over to regain the lost equipment. I must leave the border town as soon as possible and rob them before they find it. Falling equipment. If it wasn't for fear that the next wind and sand would cover up the border city and make it difficult to dig, I would have gone to the accident site now.
I took a look at the teleportation array in the center of the square. Although I just repaired it in a few minutes just now, like the Youcheng teleportation array, you ca n’t pass without ancient coins, otherwise I can call my brothers to help.
A square pit appeared in front of me. I don't know the ancient text on the stone in front of the pit. Look at the bottom of the pit and it is covered with sand.
I didn't want to waste too much time in front of such outdoor facilities, but the ghosts were terrible. I ran out a medium-level spell "Gust of Wind" to the bottom of the pit, and a beam of light suddenly rose before my eyes.
I was taken aback. Did any of the ancient treasures appear by accident? No, just beside the square, what treasures haven't been taken away by residents?
With a close look, I suddenly stopped, and then there was nothing but ecstasy in my heart.
Inside the big pit, there are tens of thousands of silver coins, ancient silver coins!
Why are there so many silver coins here? Ha, by the way, it turns out that this is the legendary wishing pool. You can get blessings by throwing down silver coins. When the residents moved away, I am afraid no one thought of going to the pool to get these little money.
Haha laughed wildly, I jumped into the big pit, held up a lot of silver coins, and then rushed towards the teleportation array.
Only one of the buttons of the teleportation array is on, which is the Youcheng. It seems that the Youcheng and the Border Town are the only two cities in the Northwest that are intact. The Youcheng is an ancient urban level, so Connected to several cities in other regions, border towns are much smaller.
Throw the number of silver coins specified in the system into the teleportation array, click on the city, and the next moment, I will return from the long yellow sand world to the tree-lined spring city full of lovers.
Before I can realize this powerful contrast, I immediately gave the world a rich letter and asked him to gather all the archeological excavators to come together.
Within ten minutes, more than a hundred brothers led by the treasure hunter have arrived. Everyone is an expert in treasure hunting and archeology. Using the silver coins I brought, I came to the border town together, and I asked them to divide their troops into two paths, searching all the way just now. Sand storms overwhelmed the items dropped by the army, and some of the items in the border town were sorted out.
Sure enough, I did n’t expect that the wind and sand caused both sides ’troops to be buried or killed. They did n’t have the hibernation technique like mine and it was difficult to survive in the sand. Now within ten miles of Fangyuan, I ca n’t feel the popularity. The presence.
The lethality of the wind sand itself may not be enough to kill some elite players with strange energy and equipment, but it is enough to stun them and lose their consciousness. There is no other result than suffocation under the sand.
Even me, I did n’t have any hope for my own survival. After all, there are still many poisonous creatures in the desert and the ghost of the wind in the sand. The players in the coma can only be slaughtered. But maybe it was the intention of Hailan that made me fall into the ancient city that was just blown to the floating sand and survived.
It can't be said that Hailan took special care of me. In fact, there are some hidden settings in the game. Players with quest clues. If they can't complete the task for a long time, the system will upgrade him when they approach the key point of the task. The probability of achieving the goal. I am the present of Youcheng, which is equivalent to accepting the hidden mission of "recovering the ancient teleportation array." It has not progressed for nearly a year, so the system will give me some help. At the same time, I have a relationship with Aji The transfer of the task has not been reported for months, so I will find his body so coincidentally.
Such a setting is actually a game company's fear that some players are tired of being unable to complete the task. After all, some tasks in the infinite world are indeed very difficult, the map is large, there are many npcs, the luck is poor or the IQ is not high enough. I'm afraid that they can't complete an s-class task in their lifetime, that will greatly reduce their game fun.
This hidden setting is also what I saw from the internal website, but I didn't expect it would make me find such a cheap time when it was critical.
The brothers have started the treasure hunt with excitement. This time all the enthusiasts who explored treasures. Their enthusiasm also inspired me. Although I was exhausted myself, I still had many scars scratched by boulder, but I still told them Together, the swift use of rank investigation techniques to detect the information of precious items under the sand.
With the help of the universal detector and my high level of skill, despite facing the vast sandy surface, after three hours, I still had a satisfactory harvest, very satisfied, and even unexpected surprises.
Together with the brothers, we found a total of seven holy-level equipment this time, one of which was dropped from the Friendship City Brothers, and the other six were from the chase. Most importantly, I found a god-level equipment. Helm of the wave god.
Counting the time, Odin I ’s men are about to arrive. After our initial survey and prediction by the diviner, there are only some equipment below the level of the month. So everyone immediately returned to the border town to participate in archeological work. It was not until the army of Odin I appeared in the sight of the brothers Wangfeng that we left from the ancient teleportation together.
Back to Friendship City, I sent the message to Odin I for the first time: "Do you want to take back the equipment, you are all here? The wave suit, I remember that some of you have a set, if you ca n’t take it back It's a pity ... "
Odin I took a long time to reply to the message: "Friend, ask for a price."
I wrote back: "Parity, but with strings attached: You quit the war."
Parity, a god-level equipment only requires hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but usually, when some people are only one set away, they often pay several times the price to buy the final component, so I have already given Odin I was hugely cheap.
In addition to the Helm of the Wave God, there are two other holy-level equipment that they originally matched. So, this thing in my hand is very important to Odin I. The complete advanced set means a Ultimate skills, the number of complete Holy and Divine suits, directly represent the strength of an organization.
Odin I stopped for a long time, but the next reply was only one word: "No! I would rather pay a few times more!"
I didn't expect this guy to be kind, so I smiled and believed: "If you don't agree to quit, you won't be able to take back these pieces of equipment if you have more money in the future. I hope you think about it clearly."
This time Odin was silent for a longer time, and only a while later wrote back: "I won't quit! I have the ability to defeat me on the battlefield!"
I ca n’t help but admire it. We all know the significance of a well-suited God-level suit for an organization, but for the friendship with the invincible Poseidon, he would give up so much interest, which also made me take this The enemy looked up.
Still not dead, I continue to believe: "This is only your decision, without group discussions, I don't know what I will tell other members of your board of directors, what will happen?"
Although Odin I was already the first person in charge of the Odin Group in the infinite world, but if the board of directors was informed that he had given up the god-level suit for personal emotions, causing great obstacles to the Odin Group's exhibition in the game, said He may be removed from office, and even his father may not be able to protect him.
Odin I was finally angry: "Dirty guy, tell you, I won't quit anyway, it's not how worthy the guy of the invincible Poseidon is, but it's about my honor as a soldier! Honor, dignity, you Understand! "
I know, how can I not understand, how many times have I faced a dilemma, just because these two things made me finally make a choice that is contrary to my own interests.
People often lose a lot in order to maintain their dignity and honor. Even npc like Ahan, it ’s the same. I do n’t know if these emotions of human beings are stupid in Hailan ’s eyes. Otherwise, why would she let Ah Han destruction?
Hai Lan's idea is not what I as a human being can think about, maybe even her creator Liang Bo can't fully understand it ... 2k novel reading network
