Chapter 274 Heading to the Royal Court of Decay
In the game world, Herot, who had time, decided to take a leveling trip.
The Soul Eater used his more than four years of experience in spawning monsters to formulate a leveling strategy for Helot. It is guaranteed that there are countless mobs to use to unlock "Unparalleled", and there are also constant boss-level actual battles for self-improvement and summary.
So Hero pulled Frank and started this journey of killing monsters.
On the other side, Xingkong also received a letter from Mondorali, officially starting his spy story.
The destination is the core city of the Rotten Wasteland...the Rotten Royal Court.
The teleportation array in Scorched Earth City cannot reach the Rotten Royal Court directly. It can only teleport to the edge teleportation station in the ruling area of Scorched Earth City, and then walk or ride to the next teleportation point.
And the cost of teleportation is very high, and the cost of continuous teleportation is not something ordinary players can afford.
Therefore, in order to save money, many players will follow the NPC caravan, which is not only safe but also convenient for supplies.
It’s just that the situation in the Land of the Dead is special. The low demand for the undead has resulted in very few commercial activities, and naturally there are fewer caravans traveling between cities.
So players filled the gap.
Professional business runners will hire a fleet of undead to bring some supplies and local specialties. Providing supplies to players encountered along the way, and reselling supplies between cities at the same time, the profits from one trip are pretty good.
There is a professional team of businessmen in the Death Chamber of Commerce in Scorched Earth City.
The four college students that Hailot first met were Yanyuchuhua, Yuyaowan, Black and White Taozi, and Shuzhuqiao. They were a small team in the Death Chamber of Commerce business team. They named their team a The name is "Human Torch 403".
They are also members of a certain college student club.
This society has a service station in the Rotten Royal Court, which provides various paid and unpaid services to its members.
So the "Thunderbolt 403" combination relied on their connections in Scorched Earth City and the Rotten Royal Court to specialize in this trade route. While running a business, killing monsters and upgrading, and earning tuition fees at the same time...
In this business run, the "Thunderbolt 403" team obtained four barrels of magic gems through Helot's relationship. This consumes a lot of alchemical minerals, and not only is it needed for alchemy, some special undead will also need this rare resource when producing it.
The news that the Sorrow King is about to decay is no longer a secret. All the undead lords who covet the throne are actively strengthening their strength and expanding their armies. The demand for alchemical resources is unprecedentedly high.
This has resulted in the price of such resources in the Rotten Royal Court remaining high and continuing to rise.
In order to transport these four barrels of magic gems, the "Human Torch 403" group rented a four-wheeled van and equipped the truck with a ghost horse. Yanyu Chuhua and Black and White Taozi were in charge of driving, while Yu Yaowan and Shuzhuzhu, as melee professions, each rode a skeleton horse to escort them from the front and back.
The magic gems are placed on the bottom floor of the truck, with a layer of ordinary commodities on top, such as: armor, weapons, wood products, magic potions, food... Although the value of these commodities is also very high, But it is far less than the value of magic gems.
However, in addition to giving them four barrels of magic gems, Herot also arranged a special passenger for their caravan to take them to the Royal Court of Decay.
Ever since he got into the carriage, this passenger has been reading a book for days and nights.
"Hey, boss!" Black and white Taozi carried the xylophone of the dark singer on his back, turned to glance at the passengers behind him, and couldn't help but ask Yanyu Chuhua: "What did Brother Broken Bones ask us to transport? Is it an alchemical puppet? Or an alchemical creature?"
Yanyu Chuhua also glanced at the passengers behind her and said to Black and White Taozi: "I can't tell what it is. Brother Broken Bone tells us to transport it, so we just transport it without asking any questions. When we get to the Rotting Wasteland, it won't be our business... …
Pay attention to your surroundings and don’t wait for the robbers to get in front of you before they are discovered.” Black and white Taozi took off the xylophone on his back, played a tune at random, and said at the same time: “Don’t worry, boss, it’s mine. The Harrier Bone Eagle has a full field of vision. If anyone wants to get close to us, I can detect it in advance.”
As the xylophone plays, visible sound waves ripple out. A bone eagle took shape in the sound waves, and after letting out an eagle cry, it rushed high into the sky.
The Bone Eagle shuttled through the clouds and mist in the sky, using its broad field of vision to monitor the surrounding conditions for this small caravan.
The first flowers in the misty rain are not as optimistic as the black and white peaches.
"The information section of the society said that the Sorrowful King granted three deputies to the regent, and the battle in the Rotten Royal Court moved from a secret war to the table. The super player guilds also joined forces one after another and have been supported by them.
Brother Broken Bones is very close to the Shanhai Fengshen Guild, and he also killed Higashiyama Maru of the Yamata no Orochi Guild. We must be careful, especially since this place is close to the Rotten Royal Court. Very close.”
Myanyu Chuhua looked forward and saw that besides her team, there were also some wandering undead walking aimlessly in the desolate wilderness. There is a hill in front of you. If you go around it, you can see the Royal Court of Decay.
This is the last section of the business journey, and it is often the most dangerous section.
The biggest threat to the caravan is not the wandering ownerless undead, but the player robbers who want to do business without capital. They will ambush player caravans in groups and loot all the goods purchased by players.
Since the super guilds flocked to the Royal Court of Decay, the number of player robbers has increased, and their average strength has also increased a lot.
Society intelligence shows that many bandits come from these super guilds. They bully the weak and use robbery to supplement their own huge consumption. They also use robbery to disrupt the logistics of other competitors.
As the battle intensifies, the parties' methods of attacking each other's logistics become more and more unscrupulous.
Due to the deterioration of the relationship between Broken Bones and the Yamata no Orochi Guild, the caravan from Scorched Earth City became the target of the Yamata no Orochi Guild. Although the Shanhai Fengshen Guild is providing protection to the merchants from Scorched Earth City, news of attacks on merchants from Scorched Earth City still appears from time to time.
The four players in "Thunderbolt 403" are all novice players. Facing high-level bandits, if they cannot detect and escape in time, they will only end up being slaughtered by others.
The black and white peach released the kite-bone eagle.
The black warrior Yu Yaowan and the winter assassin Shuqiaoqiao, who were on guard, also cheered up.
But Yanyu Chuhua still has a bad premonition...
“I always feel that something will happen!”
As if confirming the beginning of the misty rain, the crow's beak pounced on a larger kite-bone eagle from a higher airspace. Before the black-and-white peach kite-bone eagle could find it, it smashed it into pieces with a single bite.
The hills not far ahead seemed bare, but suddenly a group of players riding skeleton horses appeared out of thin air and rushed toward the "Thunderbolt 403" caravan in a fan shape.
Black and white Taozi asked: "Where are they hiding? Why didn't my kite-bone eagle see them."
"That's because they used a shielding barrier to control vision. Interference." The speaker was the passenger sitting in the carriage.
