Lin Wan Er couldn’t help but smiles, “A level 40 mage isn’t just as simple as being able to go on the offensive. There is still the 【Pillars of Ice & Fire】 which blasts away all monsters in a 5 meters radius. Only after learning 【Pillars of Ice & Fire】 can one proclaim themselves as a true qualified mage!”
“Yup, yup!” Dong Cheng Yue eyes glittered with hope.
……
After lunch, the two beauties, eager to rush their levels, excitedly run back to their dormitory. As for me, I walk leisurely back to my sleeping room. There’s no need to hurry, after all I am only at level 35, there’s still quite a long way off from level 40. Today, I could probably reach level 37-38, but reaching level 40 is still an impossible task.
“Shua!”
Appearing by the side of the Dragon City, I find Beast Tamer Dalin roasting a python over a bonfire. The python was as thick as a bowl, with scales that were gray in color and belonged under the category of Desert Snakes. Pi Pi Pa Pa, the crackling sound of the fire could be heard from where I stand. The persistent python was clinging onto its life and continuously writhing its body around. Apparently, the python did not understand what kind of person the Dalin is. Dalin, with one hand seasoning the python with pepper, was smacking the snake on its head with his other palm and shouts angrily, “Show some respect to your elders and stay still, if you continue to squirm around I’ll deep-fry you!”
I tremble at the sight. My master is really not an ordinary person.
Carrying the Jade City Sword, I walk up to him and ask, “Teacher, I have come again. Are there any quests for me?”
Dalin looks up and replies, “Oh, kid, you finally appeared! This morning, Captain Frost passed by our campsite and told me that in the Fire Stone Canyon, east of Dragon City, they sighted a group of Dark Dwarves. These detestable Dark Dwarves originally resided underground. However, due to their greedy nature, they are extremely passionate about seeking gold. Apparently, some rumor spread amongst them, saying that underneath the Dragon City, countless gold bars and precious stones can be found. Hmph, those Dark Dwarves have gathered thousands of troops in the Fire Stone Canyon, they are definitely aiming to invade us!”
While saying this, Dalin suddenly stands up and pats my shoulder, “Kid, there is no room for complaints, you are to immediately head forth to Fire Stone Canyon and punish the bunch of greedy Dark Dwarves!”
A piece of golden sheepskin appears in front of me and on top of it, written in a large font is the word “Bounty”. Dalin looks at me with great expectations and says, “Lad, go to the Fire Stone Canyon, kill at least 2000 Dark Dwarves, and their names will be recorded on this magical scroll. On top of that, you have to kill at least one of the leaders of the Dark Dwarves, only then can the quest be considered complete!”
“Ding!”
System Notice: Received quest 【Hunting Dark Dwarves】! (Quest Grade A)
Quest Description: Head forth to Fire Stone Canyon and kill at least 2000 Dark Dwarves. On top of that, you must exterminate one or more dark dwarf leader. Great caution should be exercised since Dark Dwarves are blessed with innate magical talent and they are incomparably greedy and savage. Once caught by them, even if you possess thousands of lives, you will end up getting killed by them. Thus, just before they grab hold of you, it would be best to free your worries by stabbing yourself.
……
“Damn…”
I unconsciously grin. I got the quest just like that, a grade A storyline quest! Given that is a storyline quest, the rewards are bound to be shockingly bountiful and also, without doubt, the difficulty of the quest will also be unthinkably difficult. No matter, let’s slaughter our way in and then think about it later!
After fixing my equipments at the quartermaster and retrieving Indigo Sea Pills from my storage, I’m ready to head off!
Walking along a familiar road, I pass through the Desolate Cloud Swamp and head directly toward the Fire Stone Canyon. Unlike before, the levels of the players now are already considerably higher compared to a few days ago. In fact, when I was passing by the Desolate Cloud Swamp, there were quite a few parties training there. Also, at the edge of the forest, there was a new space created just for the players. It was a temporary campsite created by the Ba Huang City’s NPC scouts. Blacksmiths, pharmacists, whatever basic needs a player requires could be found there. By adjusting according to the players, the NPCs of Ba Huang City are extremely intelligent and this is one of the pluses in the game.
“Hi, that level 35 big brother dressed in heavy armor? Do you want to come with us to fight the Cloud Water Snakes? We only require a heavy armor class!”
A distance away, a party was extending their hands and inviting me to join them. Such a pity that the Cloud Water Snakes no longer catch my eye, my target is the Dark Dwarves in the Fire Stone Canyon!
