Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

Rat's Nest is known as the second world of Xingmu City, and there are naturally many people living here.This short but noisy chase attracted the attention of many aborigines, most of whom were scarred with fierce eyes.Fang Yi saw the opportunity early, grabbed the little snitch, and came to a hidden corner with a few teammates, and then began to interrogate.

"Of course, but those people are not as skilled as you, and they didn't catch up to me." The little snitch smiled slyly, and his chin was raised proudly, "I have been here for three years, and you are the first to catch me." people."

After hearing this, several people present looked at each other, and they all saw the joy in each other's eyes:

In this way, shouldn't this little thief have seen all the people who entered here?

"What's your name?" the experienced old devil asked in a low voice as he waved his staff in front of the little snitch with a smile on his face.

Surrounded by four people in the corner, the little snitch was still calm in the face of Fang Yi's dagger, but when he saw the staff in Lao Mo's hand, his face immediately changed.

Like other aborigines in the continent of Faerun, the little snitch obviously has an inexplicable awe of the "things" like mages. In the eyes of most people who don't understand magic, mages live in towering mage towers. Some ancient spells are doing some obscure and even bloody and cruel experiments.

Then it's not unusual for these mages to use a little bit of torture.

"Call me hemp rope, Mr. Mage," the little snitch swallowed, and then relaxed when he saw the shimmering stick head moved away from his face, "I don't have a name."

The old devil nodded in satisfaction.Reaching out to take the torch from Qinggang, the dirty face of the hemp rope was flushed red, "I have some questions to ask you now,"

"If you answer well, we'll let you go. If you dare to talk nonsense in front of me..." At this point, the old devil snapped his fingers, and the head of the gray-white staff suddenly showed a faint blue color. The hemp rope closest to the staff immediately felt a biting coldness, "I don't guarantee that there will be a little thief named hemp rope in the rat's den tomorrow."

Fang Yi stood by.Smiling, he watched the old devil "deal" with the npc familiarly.Didn't interrupt.The old devil has rich adventure experience, and he can be considered a good professional player. If he wants to go further, what he lacks is a good opportunity.

Seeing hemp rope nodded nervously.The old devil asked his own question in a low voice. "About a month ago. Someone once saw a human with one arm missing enter here. It was a man in his 30s. Since you said you have been monitoring this entrance for several years, you must have seen him?"

"This one……"

Listen to the mage's words.The hemp rope was obviously hesitant, and the two thief's eyes began to roll around again, but it was obvious from the look that he knew something.The old devil turned cold when he saw this, "Think clearly before answering, you have no room for regret now."

"It's not that I don't want to say it," the hemp rope scratched his head vigorously, wanting to whet the appetites of several people, but also worried that the mage on the opposite side would not be patient enough to kill himself, so he could only let out a breath of air.

"Compared to knowing the nature of the squirrel's lair, you can enter here. The default rule here is that you are not allowed to disclose information about the people who come here to seek refuge, otherwise you will be expelled or punished by the squirrel."

"So you want to try my method?" The old devil smiled and took two steps back. It seemed that he was going to cast some dangerous magic.

"No, no, don't get me wrong. It doesn't matter if I say it now," Ma Sheng quickly waved his hands when he saw this, and said anxiously, "Because I have never seen this person before."

The old devil raised his eyebrows, and swung his staff forward, "Sting!" With a sound, the blue ray had already hit the earth wall next to the hemp rope's head, and the sharp ice balls spread from the center immediately, scaring the hemp rope. Trembling, he jumped aside, and Gudong sat on the ground.

"Then why don't you just pretend you don't know or not!?" The old devil stared, and raised his hand to cast the spell again.Seeing the old demon's pretentious demeanor, Qing Gang smiled inwardly, knowing that it was time for him to play, so he hurried forward to stop the "furious" mage.

"Listen to him, don't scare him~" Qinggang turned his head to look at the hemp rope that was still in shock, "You continue~"

"No... But, although I don't know, the squirrel definitely knows." The hemp rope shook his shoulders, feeling his back was sticky with cold sweat, "I can introduce you to meet him, But whether it will be successful or not, I can’t guarantee it.”

Seeing the Snitch quickly disappear around the corner, Wildhammer put away the heavy sword in his hand, and walked crookedly back to the side of his teammates——the "cracked" ground on the street made it difficult for the dwarf warrior in heavy armor, and the bad road The situation is even worse than the wild mountain road.

"I still have to go find that squirrel in the end." Wildhammer pinched his nose, which was a little sour because of the smell in the air, and said without hesitation, "Do you believe what the little thief said just now?"

"Whether it's believable or not, this is the only clue." At this moment, the four of them started a bonfire and were sitting around a dilapidated house. Hearing Wildhammer's muttering, the old devil said helplessly, "Just now We have tried it all, people here are very wary, it is too difficult to ask clues out of thin air."

Fang Yi nodded, deeply convinced by Lao Mo's words.

It cannot be said that there are no loopholes in "Miracle", but at least from the closed beta to the present, players have not found any bugs that can be used for profit.If Fang Yi and the others randomly find an npc, pull them over and beat them up, even if they ask for clues, they will probably be attacked by the powerful people hidden here, or even the npcs who are from bandits and ruffians around them. Fly back to the resurrection point.

So treat this place as another real world, and only by doing tasks and running plots can you feel like a duck to water.

Qing Gang on the side was lowering his head and wiping his mace with a coarse cloth, and whispered his thoughts, "There is such a large refuge underground in Xingmu City, I don't know how many murderers and robbers are hiding here, could it be The city guards didn't notice it at all? Don't you think it's a bit strange here?"

"Old Charlie himself is not a good guy, so it's not unusual for him to do something. Besides, there are a lot of nobles in Star Twilight City. Didn't we have less contact with such missions of nobles colluding with robbers in the past?"

The dwarf warrior took off his iron boots at this time, and was holding his hands up to roast on the bonfire. It is really not a comfortable thing to step on cold iron boots in the cold underground world-what?Why do you say that the boots are not lined?That kind of thing only appears in equipment above the rare level, you get what you pay for~

Feeling that the iron boots in his hand were gradually warming up, Wildhammer suddenly interjected, "Why didn't the Shell group catch this hemp rope? Shouldn't they have information about this mission, such an obvious opportunity to trigger the plot... "

"It's not uncommon to have more than a dozen initial clues for this kind of mission. I guess they are not so lucky to find the starting point in Star Twilight City." At this time, Fang Yi clapped his hands and stood up, looking up into the distance The darkness, "It's almost time, we should set off."

***

The rat's lair is not actually a whole underground space, but a series of spaces, large and small. The place where Fang Yi and the others came in is just the largest one.Being in it, the scene in front of Fang Yi reminded Fang Yi of the complex underground caves in the Underdark, but it is much easier to walk here than in the Underdark—at least there will not be more than a dozen passages for you to choose from up, down, left, and right...

The destination of Fang Yi and the others, the Skunk Hotel, occupies an entire cave, or it is more appropriate to say that this underground space is a hotel.

There are jars full of fish oil hanging on the dirty walls, the color of the torches has a hint of blue, the noisy crowd has completely occupied the hotel's airy lobby, the overturned tables and chairs and the sudden drying The strong man who came, the waiter who looked more like a butcher than a waiter, and the smell of food and sweat mixed in the air, all made the members of the Mithril Shell team admire them.

The person who named the hotel is really appropriate~

The four passed through the crowd, pushed away a few drunks who were stumbling around, and went straight to the stage in the hall.

"Hey! Three beers!"

At this time, the old devil put away his staff and his mage robe, only wearing tight cloth armor, looking more like a shabby thief.The boss who was close at hand ignored the thin old devil at all, and just gave them a generous back, and wiped the wooden cup in his hand.

"Ding ding ding dong~"

Five or six gold coins jumped lively onto the yellowish tabletop soaked in malt wine, making a pleasant crashing sound.The human boss turned around immediately as if he had been enchanted, his wolf-like eyes scanned the four people in different costumes in front of him, and then landed on the gold coin in front of him.

"These are not just beer money," Fang Yi raised his hand to block the big man's big hand reaching for the gold coin, and reminded with a smile.

"of course not."

The human boss grinned, revealing sharp teeth that looked more like lizardmen than humans.However, Fang Yi did not show a strange expression, but took away his palm knowingly.

Putting away the gold coins, the big man picked up the black and reddish rag again, and wiped the wine glass that seemed to never be wiped clean, "This place is not friendly to outsiders, beginners, watch your own words and deeds."

I thought that the other party meant to provide a way to connect with Squirrel, but unexpectedly, such a sentence popped up, Fang Yi frowned, "Thank you for your reminder, but the purpose of our coming here is to meet Mr. Squirrel."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Fang Yi felt a silence around him, and then burst into laughter. The drunks around all turned their eyes to the four-person team sitting on the stage, and the Wildhammer, who had a strong fighting spirit, subconsciously grasped the sword. handle.

"Everyone here wants to see a squirrel~" (To be continued...)
