Chapter 10 Ordinary Days(1/2)
"What? Not here?"
Listening to the reply from the guard at the door of the conference hall, Liu Yifei couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Before, he was still thinking about whether he would agree to borrow land from Emoni when he suddenly asked her.[]
Although Liu Yifei and Emoni have a good personal relationship, and Liu Yifei is backed by King Toradre and a holy city, this does not necessarily guarantee that Emoni will buy his account.
In the world of Invincible Heroes OL, territory is particularly important to lords! No matter how much output that piece of land can produce, everything within the jurisdiction marks the dignity of its owner!
Any foreign lord who casually passes by the local lord's land will be questioned or even attacked, not to mention the possibility of Liu Yifei's "borrowing land"~
Anyway, Liu Yifei was already prepared to be shut out before he opened his mouth...
Who would have thought that just when he asked the guards to help him go in and report, the guards actually replied, "The lord is not here"!
Liu Yifei didn't react for a moment. He thought that Emoni was not in the meeting hall and was working somewhere else. He wanted to ask where Lord Emoni was, but he didn't know that the other party told Liu Yifei that Emoni was not in the City of Misery.
!
The lord is out?
For a player leader named Liu Yifei, running around is normal, but this kind of thing doesn't seem to happen often in NPCs, right?
Where could she go...
Liu Yifei frowned and thought for a moment, then decided to go find another person to ask and give it a try.
"Miss" Nettle, the chief of the Sorcerer's Guild in the City of Misery, and Liu Yifei are old acquaintances. It was from her that Liu Yifei received the task of investigating the hydra in the Sighing Mountains. Later, Toradre and Elmo even
Ni and Nitel worked together to help Liu Yifei enchant to improve the level of some of Liu Yifei's equipment.
It was also because Nitel had helped Liu Yifei a lot, and Liu Yifei himself was a member of the ghost wizards, so Liu Yifei would go here later when he was free, helping Nitel complete some small tasks.
This is a way to repay his past kindness.
Emoni is not here today, and the only person who has some friendship with Liu Yifei in the entire City of Misery is the chief of the Wizards Guild.
After finding the other party, Liu Yifei finally found out the whereabouts of Emoni. It turned out that the Lord of the City had actually gone out to the outside world!
"What? Going to the Outland? This... can you also go to the Outland now?"
Liu Yifei couldn't help being surprised!
He had known about the existence of the Outland a long time ago, but Liu Yifei had never been there before. The only Outland creature he had ever seen was the legendary demon who was unfortunately sealed in the copy of the Elf Warrior Cemetery.
.
Thinking of that big devil, Liu Yifei still can't help but want to laugh. It was so unlucky to meet Liu Yifei!
If anyone else enters that dungeon, it doesn't matter whether the opponent can survive to the depths of the final dungeon. The big demon itself is definitely not in danger. After all, there is a protective barrier around it to isolate the two sides.
It's just that the big devil probably never expected that Liu Yifei actually had the skull of a mythical hero on his body! And it was also the skull of Sandru, the super strong man who was proficient in magic!
So the unlucky guy who never expected to die really died. Before he died, he gave Liu Yifei a very targeted legendary waist chain. Unfortunately, Liu Yifei has not been able to use it yet...
Apart from that, Liu Yifei had always only heard of the name of "Outland" but never heard of it before. He had never heard of any strong man on the world map, or even a person at the level of a city lord, venturing into the outer world.
The Outer World is not an unclaimed land. Just like the world map, it also has its own lords from various forces.
NPC lords are all heroes on the world map, but the situation is different after arriving in the outer lands. Not only are they forced back to their original shape, but they also have to abide by local rules!
If you are not careful, you may die outside!
So in Liu Yifei's opinion, there is absolutely no need to go on adventures in foreign lands~
Of course, if there is a chance of getting king-level or above equipment there, Liu Yifei wouldn't mind wandering there for a while. At least for now, he is still willing to risk his life for a piece of legendary equipment.
....
"How long will it take Lord Emoni to go?" This has become the question that Liu Yifei is most concerned about right now.
"If we follow the previous rules, this cycle should range from three days to one week." Nitel thought for a moment and replied.
"Oh, it took so long? Haha... Then what if Lord Emoni is away for such a long time, what if something happens in the territory? Is there no one who can handle it for me?" Liu Yifei was dumbfounded~
If we had to wait three to five to seven days...the old lizardmen and their new home would have been built long ago! Do they still need to build two strongholds?
"There is no need to worry about this. Before leaving, Lord Aimoni handed over part of the local management authority to me. Does Lord Liuyun have anything important to discuss with Lord Aimoni? If the matter is not too serious, then it is.
You can tell me about it."
Hearing what the other party said, Liu Yifei couldn't help but be stunned.
Hey~
This Emoni is really very courageous. She actually delegated administrative power to others when she was not at home... It seems that the relationship between Emoni and Netelle is not simple?
What special relationship can there be between two undead women? Were they sisters in life?
Liu Yifei thought a little bit naughtily...
But now that Nittel had spoken, Liu Yifei had nothing to be pretentious about, and immediately discussed with Nittel that he wanted to borrow a useless swamp as a base for his subordinates.
Unfortunately, it seems that the importance of this matter exceeds Liu Yifei's expectation.
As soon as Liu Yifei said his plan, Nettle had a strange expression on his face and said to Liu Yifei apologetically: "Lord Liuyun, I'm so sorry, it turns out you came here for this matter...
..
I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle~
First of all, this matter is of great importance. My authority is not enough to give an answer for Lord Emoni. I have to wait for her to come back to make a specific decision. Another point is... the previous swamp is in the territory.
It may indeed be of no use within the jurisdiction, but I guess it may be of some use after Lord Emoni comes back, so I’m afraid even Lord Emoni won’t be able to agree to your proposal.”
"Ah? She will be useful after she comes back? How do you say this?" Liu Yifei was stunned.
"This... forgive me for the inconvenience of saying more, but I can tell you in a vague way that Lord Emoni's trip to the outer lands this time is not purely adventurous. She has a very clear goal. It seems...
...to bring something back..."
Bring something back? What could it be...
Until Liu Yifei came out of Netelle's "office", he was still struggling with this issue.
For Liu Yifei now, it is a great pleasure to find out the privacy or secrets of powerful NPCs through various channels! And this kind of pleasure is not only spiritual~
According to Liu Yifei's experience, in the process of digging for secrets, players can easily master some important secrets. Even after learning more about past secrets, specific NPCs will assign tasks to players.
This kind of mission is not necessarily the kind of low-end boring mission released by the system, like going to a certain place to kill as many monsters as possible. It is often accompanied by a long or difficult adventure, but the rewards must be rich enough.
As a lord, Emoni, if it is wealth, equipment, etc... naturally, if it is of sufficient weight, it can also attract her to the outside world.
But do wealth equipment and other items require land?
There is only one possibility left, and that is that Emoni wants to bring some "soldiers" back from the outer lands!
This is incredible~
Liu Yifei also knows that NPC lords can obtain a small number of elite troops by establishing diplomatic relations with powerful lords in the outer world and selling a large amount of resources, but this kind of transaction is expensive, and even top-level NPCs at the king level will not do it often.
Do this kind of thing.
Is Emoni planning to "capture soldiers" on her own?
This is somewhat interesting...
Liu Yifei had already paid attention to this matter and decided to come over from time to time. He wanted to see what extraordinary troops Emoni could bring back.
The matter of borrowing land to build a concession failed, so Liu Yifei had to go back to see the old lizard man with a piece of bad news. However, it was obvious that the old lizard man did not take this matter too seriously. In his opinion, as long as the living environment is stable, the number of ethnic groups will increase sooner or later.
It can all be improved, so there's nothing to worry about. It's best to have a suitable habitat, but if not, you can make do here.
Although relocation seemed hopeless, Liu Yifei still had great ideas about the lizard man spear throwers in the swamp, so he made an appointment with the old lizard man to meet him in the Plague City tomorrow morning. He would be responsible for taking the old lizard man there to have a look and try.
Can you persuade the other party to follow
They merged into a larger tribe together. In addition, Liu Yifei also wanted to see how the old lizard man, the "beast spirit envoy", tamed the beasts. In Liu Yifei's opinion, the six-legged flying lion and the cave spider were both suitable for riding.
And a relatively valuable monster.
After talking to the old lizard man, Liu Yifei's mission for today was basically completed. He would have to go back and discuss matters related to internal affairs resources with Lone Hunter Baby later.
There is something rather annoying to say.
That is, what the old lizard man and his tribe are building is a wild biological community. This is a bit like an unofficial stronghold of intelligent creatures that is not recognized by the system. It is just like the dwarf village, and where Liu Yifei and Xue Lan were deep underground.
The concept of the "Tauren Village" I accidentally visited was very similar.
The various rules of the system city cannot affect them, but they are not protected by the system. If they encounter savage players, they can massacre their villages, and once they die in large areas, they cannot be refreshed and resurrected, just like
All NPCs with names are dead.
However, such "unofficial villages" also have two advantages.
First, all the life forms born are more intelligent than the junior NPCs who appear as soldiers in the system city. They are basically the lowest level of intelligence. In this way, each individual is not only stronger, but also
It can master various crafting abilities, and apart from equipment and basic templates, it is no worse than players.
Second, the growth rate of an ethnic group is affected by the population base. The larger the ethnic group is, the more people there are, and the more new ethnic groups will be born, like a snowball.
Of course, if Liu Yifei wanted to, he could completely annex the other party and make him a mercenary-like existence under his command, but he also had to solve two problems.
1. Commission.
