Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The moment the players saw the dragon flying back, they immediately scattered and ran for their lives. They had all watched the official video of the dragon and knew how powerful it was.
That was why Ye Ci's Dragon Breath didn't injure many players. But …
Ye Ci's luck wasn't very good. She didn't calculate the range of Ol 'Six's Dragon Breath and … accidentally hit the guards at the entrance of Hero City …
And then … and then …
I really wanted to say that there was no 'and then', but that would be a little irresponsible. Fine, the moment Ye Ci's Dragon Breath hit the guards, Ye Ci immediately received a system notification, "You have attacked the guards of Hero City. They will launch a Level 1 Defense Counterattack. Please prepare for battle!"
Ye Ci shuddered when she heard that. She immediately turned Ol 'Six around and flew into the distance, ignoring the players that were fighting her on the ground. But NPCs were different from players. You might be able to escape from players, but you might not be able to escape from NPCs.
Ye Ci felt her HP drop rapidly as the system notified her that Hero City's musketeers had dealt XXXX damage to her. Ye Ci didn't even dare to look back. She chugged down a health potion and flew into the distance with Ol 'Six on her back.
Who on earth did she offend …
"You have left the attack range of Hero City's guards. Hero City has issued a Rank 1 Bounty. You will be wanted for 72 hours. Please be careful." Ye Ci sighed, and a system notification popped up, "You have left the attack range of Hero City's guards.
Ye Ci looked up at the sky and screamed, "Just who did I offend?!"
When a city issued a Level 1 Bounty, it meant that the player was not allowed to set foot in the city during the Bounty Period. Otherwise, they would be immediately arrested and sent to jail. Not only that, but during the 72-hour period of being a wanted player, as long as the player was within the city's jurisdiction, they couldn't enter any of the supply points on the map. Otherwise, the guards at the supply points would arrest them and throw them into jail. This wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that within these 72 hours, the wanted players had to find a mouse hole to hide. If they were found by the NPCs in the city, they would tell on them ~ ~
As for the consequences of telling on them … Haven't you watched TV dramas? The result of being snitched on was, of course, being thrown into prison …
You should be able to understand the grief and anguish in Ye Ci's heart right now.
After a brief moment of sadness, Ye Ci calmed herself down. She was no longer bothered by the fact that she was a wanted criminal. As long as she was careful not to bump into any humanoid NPCs in any map of the Middle Continent, she would be safe after 72 hours. As for being a Red name …
It didn't matter. She was already a Black name. She wouldn't be able to become a good citizen anytime soon. She only had average equipment. She just had to spend some money to bind the important equipment to her. As for the other equipment, it wasn't a big deal even if she died. Ye Ci didn't care much about equipment. Really …
The Middle Continent wasn't like the North, South, East and West Continents. There were many large cities in the Middle Continent. In the Middle Continent, other than the mega city of Hero City, the other cities were all Abandoned Cities. However, some of the Abandoned Cities were inhabited by common monsters, so they could be taken down by attacking. Some other cities were occupied by different races. These races were usually neutral. For example, the Dark Iron Dwarves, Drows, Goblins, Elementals and so on. They had some relations with the races that participated in the crusade against the Naga Demon King, but they were mostly estranged. The relationship between players and these races was neutral. Moreover, these cities were not under the jurisdiction of Hero City. As long as a player's reputation with these races reached a certain level, not only would they be able to purchase items from these cities, but they would also be able to obtain Fortuitous Encounters that other players couldn't.
However, the level of the maps around these cities were relatively high. The locations were also relatively hidden. At this stage of the game, players wouldn't be able to find these cities.
Of course, Ye Ci wasn't one of these players.
Ye Ci had Ol 'Six with her. Other than certain maps with monsters in the sky, she didn't dare to barge in recklessly. Of course, that was if she wasn't unlucky enough to encounter a super BOSS flying over a map that didn't have any aerial monsters.
Compared to the North, South, East and West Continents, the Middle Continent was much more dangerous, both in terms of PVE and PVP. However, the North, South, East and West Continents were still the base camp of all players. The prosperity of the Middle Continent did not affect the prosperity of the other continents.
Ye Ci didn't want to recklessly fly into high level maps. Even though there were no NPCs under the jurisdiction of Hero City, they were still very dangerous. With her Red Name, if she died in these maps, there was a 90% chance that she would respawn in Hero City's graveyard. Wouldn't that be the same as walking right into a trap?
At Ye Ci's current level, there weren't many maps that were suitable for her to level up in. The closest map to Hero City was Sorrowful Canyon.
Sorrowful Canyon was one of the few maps in the Middle Continent that didn't have a supply station. The level of this map was also very strange. It was divided into two by a river. One side was a lvl80 to lvl85 Intermediate map, while the other side was a lvl100 to lvl120 Intermediate map. In other words, this map could accommodate two players of different levels at the same time.
Ye Ci's destination was Sorrowful Canyon, which was a lvl80 to lvl85 map.
At this stage of the game, most players were between lvl55 to lvl60. No one would risk their lives by coming to such a map. Of course, it was a different story for Ye Ci. With a super pet like Ol 'Six, leveling up in this map was a piece of cake for her.
After Ol 'Six evolved, its battle prowess had increased tremendously. However, it could not hide its true nature as a glutton. Fortunately, Ye Ci had learned a lot of new recipes in the Western District of Hero City. She had also bought a lot of seasonings, so she could make some high-grade meats. Otherwise, Ye Ci would have to roast meat for Ol' Six all day long.
Sorrowful Canyon was inhabited by a type of humanoid monster called the Dark Cultists. They wore long black robes with cloaks covering their faces. They held short staffs in their hands and wandered around aimlessly. These humanoid monsters didn't have much health and defense, but their attack power was terrifyingly high. Even an overpowered pet like Ol 'Six would lose a lot of health after being electrocuted by one of the Dark Cultists. Ol' Six's health was in the hundreds of thousands. (Ol 'Six is only level 47. Although he's a Dragon and is very strong, he'll suffer a level penalty when fighting against level 80 + monsters. Therefore, level 80 + monsters will deal critical hits to him.)
This was why Ye Ci only dared to lure two of these humanoid monsters at a time and let Ol 'Six tank them. After all, Ol' Six's attacks would miss. They would hit Ol 'Six one on one. Fortunately, as long as these monsters were hit by Ol 'Six, they were no match for him. He was able to kill one of them with just two hits. Moreover, the experience they gave was abundant, allowing Ol' Six to level up very quickly.
In addition to the humanoid monsters of the Dark Cultists, there was also a type of flying monster in the Sorrowful Canyon – the Wailing Vulture. These Level 90 monsters usually flew 100 meters above the ground. They usually appeared alone, never in groups. From time to time, they would land on the ground and devour corpses. Since they were animals, their monster level was lower than Dragons, so Ol 'Six had a much easier time dealing with them. All Ol' Six had to do was use Intimidate to stun them.
All in all, this map was very suitable for Ye Ci and Ol 'Six to level up.
She was able to loot a lot of items from the corpses of the Dark Cultists and Wailing Vultures. Aside from high quality cloth and feathers that were used for Tailoring, the majority of her loot were fragments of Tamra's Diary.
The words on the Diary Fragments were written in Elven Common, so Ye Ci could decipher them easily. When the Diary Fragments first appeared, Ye Ci didn't pay them much attention. She just threw them away as trash. However, as more and more of them appeared, Ye Ci realised that they weren't just trash that could be sold for money.
Most of the Diary Fragments only contained a few sentences. Since there were a lot of Diary Fragments, Ye Ci couldn't find much information. However, she managed to find something that piqued her interest.
"… Lola told me that the Naga's minions are coming. I'm afraid. What can we, the lowest Elves, do? Fight? That's for the heroes to do. We … "
"… My village was destroyed. My home didn't escape the fate. Tina is missing. I'm writing today's Diary Fragment at the pool where we used to date. Oh, I'm so sad. Why aren't we the ones who started the war? Why do we have to bear the brunt of this destruction? "
"… Yesterday, I found a new place to settle down. The sky here is dark and the air is filled with the smell of rotting gunpowder. I think I'm very close to the battlefield. It's strange. I don't feel afraid. Have I become numb to death after so many deaths? "
"There are many corpses in the swamp to the west. There are Orcs, Dwarves, Gnomes, Humans, Undead, and Elves. I found a lot of rations on their bodies. It's enough for me to survive for the next month … "
"… Today, I went to the swamp to look for food. There are new battles every day. There are new corpses every day. Today, I saw an Elf, a White Elf. She's so beautiful, just like Tina. She's so young, but she's forever sleeping in the cold swamp … "
"How much longer will I have to live like a rat in the underground? I don't think I'm an Elf anymore. I'm like a filthy Goblin, barely surviving. "
"… It's been two years. The Naga's army is still fighting with the rebels. Heh, how lively …"
"So there are living corpses in the swamp? That's strange. Today, I found a corpse that was still alive. He looked like an Elf. Oh, he's in such a sorry state. Our beautiful Elf ears are gone. He seems to be alive. I didn't care about him. If he's still alive tomorrow, I'll bring him back. "
"… I shouldn't have brought him back. He'll eat my rations …"
"… He's very sick. Probably, probably won't live past tomorrow …"
"… Oh, thank the Elf King. He's not dead. That's strange. I'm happy. After being alone for so long, I can finally talk to my people again … "
"He's dead."
"… He said, Dau 'er is dead. The backbone of the Elves is dead. From now on, the Elves will never be as strong as they used to be. I don't feel sad, but tears are flowing from my eyes … "
"… Why did you leave this for me? I'd rather be a rat at death's door. I don't want to be a hero. I don't want to! I don't want to! … "
"… I want to find a place to hide. Don't look for me. Don't …"
There were no more fragments of the diary, and it was obvious that more fragments would be needed to piece together the complete story. But Ye Ci was able to roughly guess the story from the few words that were left in the diary. This Elf called Tamra found a living Elf in the swamp. This Elf had experienced the battle between the rebels and the Naga's army. This Elf brought Tamra news of the Elf King Dau 'er's death. Before he died, he gave Tamra something.
This thing must be very important. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any enemies chasing after him.
Ye Ci was suddenly very interested in Tamra. Since she had nothing better to do, she wanted to gather more fragments of the diary to see if she could find out where Tamra was last seen. Ye Ci was very interested in the biggest war in the game. She had met many NPCs who were related to the war, but none of them gave her as much information as Tamra did. If she could find Tamra, would she be able to find out more about Dau 'er?
With this thought in mind, Ye Ci brought Ol 'Six to a place where the Dark Cultists were more concentrated …
I brought Tang Bao 'er to get vaccinated this morning. He groaned and didn't move at all. Other babies would scream when they were pricked by needles. I wonder if he can't feel pain …
Swordsman 3 has been doing all sorts of activities recently. I really want to go back and play. Ahhhh! Tang Bao 'er's father said that I should recharge my account … But I'm in the monthly account. I don't have time to play.
Also, the day before yesterday, I bought a Diablo 3 CDK. Originally, I wanted to play with it when I was free, but in the end, I ended up as a toy for Steamed Bun Tang's father. I'm very sad and angry. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
