Naturally, Li Huailin had come to Sebacary City for the Cyclops' Village that Cecil had mentioned. After much thought, he realized that there was no other place for him to grind. The monsters near cities were relatively weak, and they were mostly Level 10 to 20 novice monsters. They were meant for newcomers to train. If these monsters attacked Li Huailin, even if Li Huailin was naked, they would have a hard time dealing double-digit damage.
Currently, most players' leveling spots were at least 20 minutes away from cities. For most players, this wasn't too far. After all, it only took one trip to grind for four to five hours, then return to replenish their supplies before running back again. However, for Li Huailin, this wasn't efficient at all. He had to run for 20 minutes every time he died. It was simply too tiring. Moreover, there were many players near the leveling spots. There was no way for Li Huailin to pull a few monsters to fight him together.
Therefore, Li Huailin had very few options. The first option was to drink potions. Misty Rain wasn't there, so Li Huailin could only use normal Health Potions. The current Health Potions cost one minute. Li Huailin's health was close to 3000, and one potion cost 210 points. If he drank a dozen or so potions, he would only die once every ten or so minutes. The efficiency wasn't much different from running away. The most important thing was that drinking potions was just too annoying …...
The second option was Li Huailin's new idea. Right now, Li Huailin was trying out this new method.
Sebacary City was located in the eastern part of the empire. It was located relatively close to the border between the Orcs and Humans. The city wasn't very large, and it wasn't a strategic location. Its population was also relatively small, less than 80,000.
Although the relationship between the Humans and the Beastmen was very tense these days, the war between the two sides didn't seem to affect the city. When Li Huailin arrived, the city wasn't under martial law. Everyone was still doing what they usually did.
Of course, to level up, Li Huailin made a trip to the bank. First, he deposited all the equipment he had on him that would drop, including the Magic Blade, God-Devouring, which would not drop, but would increase his Stamina. Then, he equipped the God-Devouring Newbie Set, which would never drop, with a bag full of Health Potions and a few return tickets. Li Huailin finished his preparations. At the same time, Li Huailin also asked the NPC in the bank about the nearby Cyclops Village.
"Oh, are you also here to see the Cyclops Village?" The bank clerk didn't recognize Li Huailin, but he still introduced him enthusiastically. "You've come to the right place. The only Cyclops village on the entire continent is here."
"Will they attack humans?" Li Huailin asked.
"Don't worry, they won't," the clerk said. "Although the Cyclops have always been known for their brutality and killing, this tribe is different. Their leader is a guy with a bit of intelligence. They were able to settle down here because they don't pose a threat to us. Otherwise, the City Lord would've sent troops to destroy them long ago."
"What a pity …" Li Huailin couldn't wait for the other side to be more brutal. "Anyway, let's go check out the situation first. Where's the village?"
"Go out from the west and follow the main road. When you see a turn, go north. There are road signs there, so you should be able to see it. But at this time … Eh? Don't be in such a hurry to leave. There's still something to do … This young man, why is he in such a hurry? " Before the clerk could finish speaking, Li Huailin had already run out of the door. The clerk called out to him twice, but he didn't come back. He could only sigh.
Li Huailin couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with the clerk. This guy was too talkative and talked too much. Since Li Huailin already knew the location, he went straight there.
He walked out from the west gate and followed the main road to the west. It didn't take long before he saw a fork in the road. There was a sign next to it. If he continued west, he would arrive at Corian City. If he went north, he would arrive at Green Peak Mountain. Below the sign, there was a special line of words: Location of the Cyclops Village.
Li Huailin nodded and continued north. As expected, he saw the entrance of a valley after a while. Li Huailin stopped because a sentry post had appeared at the entrance of the valley. There were also about 20 soldiers patrolling the entrance of the sentry post.
"Stop!" Seeing Li Huailin walking over, a few soldiers immediately surrounded him. "Are you an adventurer? No entry is allowed ahead. "
"Is that the Cyclops Village ahead?" Li Huailin stopped and asked.
"Yes, you'll reach it after you pass the entrance of the valley. But you can't go there now," the soldier said.
"Why?" Li Huailin asked.
"The tour period for the Cyclops Village starts in December and ends in March. There's still a month before it opens, so you can't enter," the soldier replied.
"Tour period?" Li Huailin was stunned.
"You don't know?" The soldier was stunned. "Because this is the last batch of Cyclops that can be found. There are a lot of people coming to visit, but you know what will happen when there are too many people. It will affect the lives of the Cyclops. The lord of the city and the chief of the Cyclops, Forgan, have agreed that humans can visit from December to March every year. They can't be disturbed at other times. "
"That's interesting …" Li Huailin said.
"It's difficult for the Cyclops to survive. They don't have enough food every winter. The lord of the city has agreed that if they let humans visit every winter, some of the tourism income will be given to them to buy food to help them survive the winter," the soldier explained.
"D * mn, is the lord of the city really that smart? He can even run a tourism business with the Cyclops. He can give them some gold and exchange it with food. The food is all collected from taxes. He can make a lot of money without losing anything. Why didn't I think of such a way to make money? "Li Huailin said.
"Of course the lord of the city is smart. Otherwise, how could he have become the lord of the city?" The soldier said. "Alright, it's not the tour period now. You can't go in now."
"What if I have to go in?" Li Huailin asked.
"If that's the case, you can ask the lord for a pass. If he has that, we can let you go," the soldier said.
"Pass … Alright, I just have to go back to the city." Since Li Huailin was already here, he naturally had to observe the situation. As for the pass, it was best for the lord of the city to ask for it. Otherwise, Li Huailin would have to use the Slap and Submission Technique that he had sealed for a long time.
"Wait …" Li Huailin was about to use a Return Scroll when a soldier suddenly walked over and pointed at Li Huailin. "I … Why do I feel that you look familiar …"
"Familiar?" The soldier who was talking to Li Huailin looked Li Huailin up and down and said, "I do feel that way … Where have I seen you before?"
"D * mn …" The soldier who was talking suddenly had a flash in his eyes as if he had thought of something. He immediately whispered into the ear of the soldier next to him. The soldier was shocked when he heard his words and almost shouted out loud.
"This … Sir … Wait a minute … I'll call the captain over first." The soldier immediately said to Li Huailin, then ran to the side to hand it over to the captain.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have recognized him, Li Huailin didn't have to go back. He stood there for a while. After two minutes, the captain of the squad ran over with a few soldiers. When he saw Li Huailin, he almost fell to the ground.
"Duke … Duke … Sebacary City Twelfth City Guard Captain Rakrael reporting for duty!" Captain Rakrael immediately stood straight and saluted to Li Huailin, but his tone was a little stiff. Maybe he was nervous to the point that he was a little tongue-tied.
"Greetings, Duke!" The guards behind him immediately stood straight and saluted to Li Huailin.
The guard who was the first to speak to Li Huailin was stunned for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he immediately saluted. At the same time, he was depressed. What was this Duke doing? Why did he come to such a desolate place? And he was even wearing a few plain clothes. Who would recognize him?
"Oh, hello everyone." Li Huailin casually waved his hand, indicating that everyone didn't have to be too reserved. He then said, "It's like this. I have a mission to go to the village of the cyclops, but I didn't expect that it wouldn't be the right time. But I'm really in a hurry, this pass …"
"Duke, why would you need a pass? You can even enter and leave the palace at will in the empire. Why can't you enter this place?" Captain Rakrael immediately said. King Anthony had really given this order. If Li Huailin wanted to come to the palace to find him, he could enter and leave at will without any notification.
"Oh, I see … Then I'll go in." Li Huailin nodded. This saved him a lot of trouble.
"Duke, let's go in with you." Rakrael quickly said. Li Huailin was a super important person. Not only was there a cyclops village, there were also beasts and other monsters. If they encountered danger, wouldn't they be in trouble? Of course, these monsters' levels were actually very low. It would be difficult for them to kill Li Huailin.
"No need. I'll go in alone." Li Huailin naturally wouldn't let them follow him. He was here to level up (die). Why would he ask for help to protect him? "You guys stand guard. I need to do my mission alone. Don't disturb me. Also, other people generally can't come in, right?"
"Yes, it's not the tourist season now. Ordinary people can't enter," Rakrael replied.
"That's good. You guys guard here. Don't let anyone in except me." Li Huailin naturally wanted to be alone. It would be best if no one could disturb him. After saying that, Li Huailin walked inside.
"Is this really okay?" The guard next to him said to Rakrael worriedly. If something happened to the Duke of Aquitaine here, they would all be beheaded.
"The Duke of Aquitaine doesn't let us follow him. There's nothing we can do about it. We can't disobey, "Rakrael said." You guys guard here. I'll go find the lord of the city and ask for his opinion. "
"Yes!" A group of soldiers immediately nodded.
