Chapter 1085 - 1018: Entering the Ranger Private Village
As the Mountain Giant collapsed with a resounding crash, the long-awaited things finally arrived:
——System Prompt: You have defeated a Tier 7 Mountain Giant, gaining 950 experience, and have acquired the Divine Artifact "Heart of the Tier 7 Mountain Giant"!
Heart of the Tier 7 Mountain Giant: Accessory, Divine Artifact, reduces physical damage taken by the hero by 7, and the hero’s army regenerates 1% health every 5 seconds.
At the same time, every player on the scene with or without a mission heard a simultaneous ding:
——System Prompt: Your team has defeated a Tier 7 Mountain Giant, gaining 950 experience and acquiring the A-grade treasure "Fragment of the Tier 7 Mountain Giant"!
Fragment of the Tier 7 Mountain Giant: Accessory, A-grade strategic treasure, reduces physical damage taken by the hero by 1, and the hero’s army regenerates 1% health every 10 seconds.
So a BOSS for 3000 people can reward an A-grade accessory! At that moment, the audience was shocked! Although the experience from the BOSS was negligible when divided among 3000 people, accessories are every player’s favorite and never too many!
Furthermore, all knowledgeable players know that the attribute "reduce physical damage taken by the hero by 1" can determine the outcome in specific environments against level 1 and 2 units, not to mention the army regeneration attribute!
As for the thousands of sightseeing players without missions or spoils of war, they were envious, jealous, and heartbroken, never expecting that such good accessories could be obtained even while lying down, and it was obtained by over 2000 people lying down!
The crowd burst into chants: "Brother Fei! Brother Fei!"
At this moment, Da Fei stood tall on the giant’s shoulder, his heart filled with emotions! Finally, he pulled it off right; sometimes, bragging can range from astounding to foolish in a fine line, and clearly, this was a technical art.
As for this newly acquired divine artifact accessory, while thrilled, Da Fei couldn’t help worrying. Although heroes have 10 accessory slots and players never mind having more accessories, all his slots were already full.
Starting from the initial Misfortune Hourglass, the Tree Elf Bow, then the Evasion Talisman won in a contest, Nash’s Tooth, followed by the Demon Eye acquired from killing the Magic Eye, the Governor’s Medal, then the Nightmare Horn from defeating the Nightmare, and finally the Unicorn Mane obtained from trading in the European Union Zone to pair with the Tree Elf Bow for a combined divine artifact, then the Grand Marshal’s Coach Medal, and the Abyss Blood Bottle from slaying the Demon King—10 accessory slots were already full!
If any of the 10 accessories were lacking, it would be the Tree Elf Bow from the Resentful Spirit teacher, so it may be replaced for now. However, if I truly manage to combine the "Phantom Divine Bow" someday, gearing would become troublesome again.
In summary, now is not the time to be tangled with these minor issues; now is the moment the entire nation and the world are watching me, and I should continue the high and mighty act! Haha, wahahaha!
At that moment, a Teleportation Gate suddenly appeared in the valley, and a few Druid NPCs emerged. These NPCs surveyed the scene, and with a wave of their hands, green rain trickled down from the sky, instantly settling the dust in the valley, and all fallen players were revived instantly!
Nightingale shouted excitedly: "We did it! The NPCs are here to take us into the village, we can finally enter! Let’s all thank Brother Fei again!"
The crowd erupted once more: "Brother Fei! Brother Fei! We love you!"
Da Fei smiled gently and said: "Everyone line up to enter the village, no pushing!"
Nightingale passionately added: "Listen to Brother Fei, let Brother Fei go first!"
"Yes, yes, let Brother Fei go first!"
Wahahaha, then I won’t hold back, Da Fei waved to the players and approached the welcoming NPC first.
The gatekeeping Druid asked: "Warrior, our Oranto Village isn’t open to the average person, even if you’ve defeated the Mountain Giant, you’d still need a reason to enter."
It must be about a prerequisite task, Da Fei was prepared: "I was introduced by Master Taranna."
"Taranna?" The gatekeeper NPC frowned: "He passed away long ago; how could a young human like you have met him? Do you have any tokens?"
Seriously, you’re all system NPCs; can’t you check my records in the system for what I’ve done? Can I even deceive NPCs?
Da Fei then took out the Tree Elf Bow he obtained from the Resentful Spirit: "This is a memento from the Master."
The gatekeeping Druid took a look and nodded: "Indeed, it is his possession. After entering the village, go directly to the village hall to find the village chief—please proceed!"
Da Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief, so this accessory was indeed unusual? Luckily, I didn’t sell it because of its slightly inferior attributes, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to enter the village despite all the trouble.
The scene changed; Da Fei entered an elegant elf villagers where the birds chirped, flowers bloomed, and songs floated gracefully. Even the sounds of the blacksmith shop were as pleasant as chimes. Such a remarkable place indeed! How could such an admirable village produce a disliked Taranna?
Without further delay, Da Fei headed straight for the village center’s administrative hall. Along the way, every NPC encountered was either sitting in meditation or lost in thought, no one seemed to be engaged in proper work; it truly lived up to the name of Hermit Village, and with profound cultural depth! Da Fei felt even more anticipation to meet the village chief.
Da Fei stood before the village administration hall. A ranger guard, tall and covered in tattoos, looked down at Da Fei and said, "Are you the chief warrior the kingdom sent for cross-regional aid?"
What the heck! No wonder I took on a cross-regional quest, even the Hermit Village knows about me! But what’s with his attitude? Wasn’t it said that taking this quest would make all the Alliance NPCs be "enthusiastic"? Is this his form of enthusiasm?
Da Fei quickly replied, "That would be me, I have urgent business with the village elder."
The guard snorted coldly, "So, a grand Elf Kingdom with thousands of years of heritage ends up needing a human to rescue their kin, how laughable!" With that, the guard snorted again, "Go inside, the village elder is in a bad mood, don’t say I didn’t warn you."
Damn it! Da Fei finally understood why Taranna wasn’t liked; turns out the whole village is like this! Although the fact that he actually gave a warning does suggest they’re somewhat enthusiastic.
So Da Fei found himself in the village elder’s hall, facing an elderly Druid hero sitting cross-legged, meditating with eyes closed, his face covered in red oil paint markings. To be honest, Da Fei had never seen such red markings in the Elf Kingdom. Elf marks are usually green.
"Sit down!" The elder didn’t even lift an eyelid, casually commanding.
Looking around, Da Fei saw chairs in the room, but since the elder sat on the ground, he didn’t dare take the chair and sat cross-legged opposite the elder instead.
The elder spoke again, "Taranna is my son, he was defeated at the Pool of Radiance, while you were the human star who shone bright there. Your success further accentuated Taranna’s arrogance and incompetence, making him look like a fool. Am I wrong?"
Ah, spit! Da Fei couldn’t help but spray saliva; this geezer doesn’t act like a hidden expert at all!
Da Fei hurriedly said, "Village elder, you exaggerate. Actually, Professor Ann Su who accompanied me had a high opinion of him, except he’s a bit hot-tempered."
The elder finally opened one eye and sneered, "I told you, I hate humans, every single one of you is hypocritical! Facts are facts, why act all humble and polite when you’re obviously so full of yourself!"
Damn it! This old guy is a narrow-minded old crank through and through! Oh well, guess I’ll just play along. Da Fei sighed, "You’re right, village elder, we humans are indeed hypocritical!"
The elder snorted, somewhat pleased, "Finally, a truthful word."
Huh? Is there a chance? Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly added, "Especially our Church of Light, hypocrisy is what we’re most criticized for!"
The elder’s eyes widened and he clapped in delight, "Exactly, your Church of Light is the worst!"
Ah, spit! Da Fei couldn’t help but spit again but seeing this bias, Da Fei decided to pile it on to keep him happy: "Actually, ordinary Elves are quite hypocritical too. They clearly dislike me for being human, yet for appearances, they pretend to be polite, unlike you, elder, who is clear on your likes and dislikes, straightforward in speech. Talking to you is refreshing!"
When it came to slandering Elves, the elder didn’t comment but just chuckled coldly, "So, why are you here?"
Da Fei quickly said, "With the cross-regional rescue mission imminent, I want to improve my Ranger Level, so I came to your esteemed village following Mr. Taranna’s will."
The elder remarked coldly, "You made it into this village, which means you’re not without competence. Now let me ask you, how much do you know about the Ranger profession?"
Da Fei quickly said, "My understanding is very shallow, I only know that the Ranger is a profession born of the power of nature, and only elves who can naturally sense this power can take it up."
The elder sneered, "Yet you, a human completely incapable of sensing the power of nature, managed to become one. Why is that? Come back to me when you can answer that! If there’s nothing else, you can leave." With that, he closed his eyes again.
Da Fei was dumbfounded on the spot!
Damn it, really? I’m supposed to ask you, and you’re quizzing me? This question stumped not just my Ranger mentor Jilrien, but also Anwen, my newly acquired Druid teacher who’s a demigod. How the hell am I supposed to answer that!
While still in shock, the elder suddenly opened his eyes again, "Why haven’t you left yet? Guard, escort him out!"
Damn it! I’m a busy person, come back again later? When do I have the time?
Da Fei panicked, "I’m afraid if I answer wrong, the elder will be mad?"
The elder impatiently said, "Not enough things piss me off already? Spit it out if you got something, or get lost!"
Alright, let me spill the bull first! I learned because I’m awesome! Da Fei started fabricating nonsense seriously, "Because I suspect that the Ranger job I took isn’t truly a Ranger!"
The elder clapped abruptly, "You’re not so dumb! Correct answer!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to cast your vote or monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
