Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

Fang Yi tightly grasped Torm's wrist, and rushed out of the giant wooden door of the hall under the guard of a group of warriors - although he was vaguely aware of the strange situation, the current situation did not allow Fang Yi to stop and think. A few thoughts flashed through my mind, and the person rushed out.

"Woo~"

The bitter cold wind rolled the snowflakes and slapped Fang Yi's face mercilessly, but the first thing Fang Yi felt was not cold, but pain!It hurts to be blown by this cold wind!

I don’t know when it snowed in the sky, and the goose-feather-like snowflakes were crazily flying in front of the eyes under the gust of wind, making people feel that the surrounding space is nothing but snow. blocked.

The news of the centaur chief's attack had spread throughout the camp, and the people around him moved upon hearing the sound, almost completely surrounding the house. Fang Yi dragged the beautiful woman horse out of the room, running at a very fast speed. It fell down quickly, making Fang Yi anxious enough.

"Where is the safest place here for you! You hide there first!" Fang Yi leaned close to the ear of the chief of the horse, shouting at the top of his voice, and at the same time had to wipe down the snowflakes stuck to his mouth.

"My guards will catch the assassin,"

Torm's state at this time was much calmer than Fang Yi imagined, but he frowned and looked at Fang Yi and said, "Don't worry, the dignity of a centaur warrior will never be trampled on. And there is only one enemy, why should we run away? "

Hearing this, Fang Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said to himself, what are you doing now, if this mission fails, Cable won't eat me! ?This female chieftain is obviously not a task like a scarf hero.Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't let those disgusting ogres bully me.

Fang Yi has already seen it with probing techniques, the "beautiful horse" chief in front of him is an ordinary npc of level 22, and now any high-level player can chop her down with a single blow!Fang Yi thought to himself that if you were like Cable, would I have to put in so much effort... Fang Yi knew in his heart that in such a chaotic situation, it would not be impossible for a professional player to take advantage of troubled waters to stab Thorm. It is impossible to guard against!

At this time, the heavy snow should have just started. Although the snowflakes are big, their density is limited.Fang Yi squinted his eyes and looked around.I can barely distinguish the surrounding buildings, and then make a quick decision and ask Torm to order the troops to move eastward—first protect Torm to the larger tower in the east, and then go find the secret agent People settle accounts!

The men and horses are fairly well-trained.After the initial panic, the formation was quickly discharged.The scene also gradually quieted down.Some people had already climbed onto the roof to search for the assassin, while Fang Yi and Torm were surrounded by a group of tough fighters.

But Fang Yi didn't feel safe at all, because he was halfway there.The player hiding in the dark hadn't appeared yet, Fang Yi always felt that these people seemed to have stepped into some kind of trap, and subconsciously pressed the weapon at his waist with both hands.

"Hey! Hey!"

As if in response to Fang Yi's guess, a strange cry suddenly sounded in the originally silent camp!As if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, the centaur warriors immediately raised their heads and raised their weapons, but they didn't know where to point - because the surrounding world was a snow-white world with no enemies at all. .

"Protect the Chief!"

The sharp screams were getting closer and closer, and Fang Yi's hand holding the weapon was getting tighter and tighter. He loudly ordered the guards around him, and at the same time looked up at the sky, trying hard to find clues from the heavy snow.

Suddenly, the surrounding air pressure suddenly changed, and Fang Yi felt his eardrums tighten, and the sound of something above his head flapping the air came over.

"Top of the head!"

The muscles of Fang Yi's whole body tightened, and he didn't waste time looking back, but bent his waist, and he was already lying on the ground.

"what!"

Almost at the same time, a giant gray-black figure suddenly appeared from the heavy snow above the heads of the people and horses, and rushed to the ground with the momentum of Mount Tai, and the people who were not prepared around were immediately blown to the ground by the strong wind brought by the black shadow. beside!Two of the most unlucky guys were directly disemboweled by each other's giant claws, and it seemed that they were going to die!

This is a big and famous giant eagle!

The giant eagle was half taller than the centaur warriors. Its body was covered with blue-black long feathers like iron armor. Its sharp black beak was shiny, and it was particularly conspicuous in the flying snowflakes.

On the back of the giant eagle, a slender figure was sitting there. It seemed to be wearing a leather armor, and no specific occupation could be seen.It's just that this person is obviously a woman, and she also found Fang Yi lying on the ground with her head sullen, and smiled at Fang Yi with a playful expression.

Fang Yi only had time to glance at the other party, and the giant eagle had already flapped its wings and rose up into the sky again, and the air flow brought up by it made Fang Yi turn over!

How could such a thing appear here!

At this time, Fang Yi was unable to complain about the giant monster that suddenly appeared, and no matter whether the giant eagle was a player or not, this thing was beyond everyone's ability to deal with it - the giant eagle was a flying monster. how to spell! ?

Now Fang Yi has understood why the other party wants to drive people like himself out...

"Protect the chief and go to the house! Hurry up!!"

No time to complain, Fang Yi immediately got up from the ground and yelled loudly, and at the same time hurriedly called those who were still bending their bows and setting arrows to run to the arrow tower - they couldn't see the target, no matter how good your archery skills are. Shit use!

Because in such a short period of time, the snow in the sky has become bigger and bigger, and it seems to have a tendency to become a blizzard. Don't say you can't see the target, even if you see it, the feather arrow will probably be swept away by the strong wind, not at all. None of the threats.

But it's different for the giant eagle... These giant beasts live all over Faerun, and a snowstorm of this level will not affect the giant eagle's hunting actions at all.

……

Fang Yi's shout did not spread far in the strong wind, but fortunately, the people who were attacked still maintained their formation at first, just waiting for the giant eagle to swoop down several times.More and more people were injured, and when there was no way to resist, the scene became a little chaotic.There were screams and exclamations, and from time to time, people who were captured by giant eagles fell from the sky, smashed into meatloaf, and killed a few more at the same time...

The distance between the hall and the arrow tower normally only takes half a minute, but now it seems to be as long as [-] miles. This short distance has become the last distance for many people.

At this time, Fang Yi was in a state of anxiety!

If this goes on like this, if the giant eagle tries a few more times, Torm will be caught by the giant eagle sooner or later!Even if she was touched by the eagle's claws, the female chief couldn't stand it...

Although I know the current situation is extremely critical.But Fang Yi really couldn't think of any good way.He could only lean close to Torm, raise his hands in front of the raging snowstorm, and raise his head, always paying attention to the giant eagle rushing down from nowhere.

Damn it!Bullying Laozi can't fly! ?

Fang Yi rarely encountered such a situation where he could only be beaten passively.My heart is abnormally angry.The desire to hatch dragon eggs has never been stronger!It's just that the reality doesn't allow Fang Yi to think too much.After a while, Fang Yi felt that the voice behind him was wrong, and the hairs on the back of his neck had exploded!

"Grass! Get out of the way!!"

Xia Yi was really angry now!

There is no dodging.Fang Yi didn't lie down on the ground again, but instead sank his body, and then slammed into the woman next to him with all his strength!The unprepared Chief Centaur was startled into a cold sweat by Fang Yi's voice, and then he felt a strong force coming from his side, and his body was knocked over involuntarily.

The next moment, Fang Yi turned around.

This is the first time Fang Yi has seen advanced flying monsters in the game.

The giant eagle with its wings outstretched was nearly twenty feet wide, and its two giant golden claws almost reached half of Fang Yi's body.Because he was facing the giant eagle, Fang Yi could even see two eagle eyes staring at him—as expected of the king of raptors, his eyes were so domineering!

The speed of the giant eagle that swooped down was not as fast as Fang Yi imagined, and it was somewhat affected by the violent north wind.Fang Yi just squatted on the spot, with his left hand in front and his right hand behind, staring at the giant eagle rushing towards him without blinking.

Come closer, come closer!

Fang Yi silently counted down the numbers in his heart, feeling that this second is so long.Perhaps because he realized that the object on the ground was not his target, the giant eagle quickly flapped its wings twice, and its giant iron claws were ready to reach over and scratch Fang Yi casually, and its whole body was ready to take off again.

It's now!

In the blizzard, Fang Yi suddenly exploded, and the whole person did not retreat but advanced. He took two big steps like lightning, and when he was about to come into contact with the giant eagle's claws, he suddenly sank down and turned into a slippery kneeling The posture, with the upper body facing the sky, barely missed the deadly eagle claws.

At the same time, Fang Yi's right hand, which had been placed behind him all the time, was thrown upwards vigorously!The rope that had been in his hand for a long time had already stopped the giant eagle's legs head-on, and the hook claw at one end of the rope spun around the eagle's claw rapidly due to inertia, and became tightly entangled in an instant.

The next moment, the giant eagle soared into the sky!

***

A cluster of villas in the eastern suburbs of City X, the headquarters of Crystal Thumb.

Xiaolei exited the game and waited until the system of the health care cabin was completely shut down, then stepped out from inside and stretched vigorously.

"Hey... Phew... I'm so busy,"

Xiaolei opened her arms and took a deep breath, then scratched her short hair, and tidied up the slightly wrinkled bright yellow dress before walking outside.

Recently, every Crystal Thumb team has been busy.

On the one hand, the major organizations in the game have been desperately exploring new maps in recent days. Crystal Thumb, as a first-class studio in China, naturally cannot fall behind others. As the number one master in the studio, Xiaolei is obliged to Participated in most of the actions;

The reason why everyone suddenly became so desperate and mobilized the main force to explore the wild area was mainly because of the previous system announcement - the Japanese player Qian Chengzi got an advanced flying mount.

The temptation of this thing is too great, once the level of this Hippogryph is trained, then this Japanese player named Qian Chengzi will be able to ride the mount and fly around with fear.

Whether it's the hidden boss hidden in the mountains and deep valleys, or the treasure chests hidden in special terrain, or the map of a large area of ​​wild areas - these are valuable information that require a guild to do their best to obtain.In people's eyes, it's just a matter of flying around and leaving a few screenshots of [-]D games.

And if there is a war, the other side's formation layout, or even the internal defense of a certain guild resident, there is no secrecy in the eyes of others.

According to reliable information, Qian Chengzi got this hippogryph egg by accident when he was exploring an unknown field map.There are as many lairs as there are bosses in the wild, and there are only a few balls hidden in any nest that is not guaranteed. Thinking of this situation, how can the leaders of the major guilds and studios still sit still?

Secondly, Crystal Thumb is also preparing for the game's new regional warfare system.

According to inside information.The regional war system this time is actually an official test of "Miracle".It is to prepare for the confrontation between countries in the future.When everyone's level is high, the main content of the game is not just the wrestling between players and high-level bosses, but the duel between players.

And the rewards for this regional war are outrageously good.In the war maps around Waterdeep City, members of powerful guilds have raised the reputation of a certain faction to Exalted.This player has not only gained command in the npc army.You can still use gold coins to buy orange equipment from the quartermaster!

Although these advanced equipment can only be sold by the top ten players with the highest reputation.But this undoubtedly gave other players a shot in the arm: as long as you work hard, everyone can have a chance to get an orange outfit!What's more, the goods sold by the quartermaster are very rich, and there are some unique novelty items among them.It is simply a must-have for pretending to be coquettish and cute, exclusive for the handsome and rich, and the temptation for players is directly beyond the charts!

So not long ago, the boss of Crystal Thumb, the team leader Zhang Qian, decided to take some people out of the hands of those who explored the map and go to the war map to try it out. This is also for insurance.After all, the content in "Miracle" is as vast as the sea. If you have the ability, you can get in touch with one more item, and the benefits of it cannot be underestimated.

But now, Xiaolei was called out from the game by her team leader, not because of these things.

Passing through the neat corridor and the spiral escalator, Xiaolei walked downstairs with light steps, and met Zhang Qian who was watching the game demo in the living room on the first floor.

"Boss, what's the matter with you, I'm exploring in a small ruin~" Xiaolei sat on the sofa, stretched her waist in a very inconspicuous manner, and said lazily, "There may be a treasure chest inside~"

"Forget about the treasure chest~"

Seeing Xiaolei coming down, Zhang Qian hurriedly turned off the [-]D light screen, approached with a smile and said, "Xiaolei, have you been in contact with the Great God recently~"

Zhang Qian was usually very serious when he spoke and acted. Ding was Ding Mao and Mao, but he suddenly showed such a cheap smile, which shocked Xiao Lei.So Xiaolei blinked her eyes and took a moment to react, "You mean Brother Fang? Yes, you have something to do with him?"

"No, no, no, I just want to ask, how many scrolls do you have left in the auction house?" Zhang Qian rubbed his hands, and said with a smile in a tone that didn't sound like a boss's.

After hearing this, Xiaolei immediately understood what the head of the regiment was up to, and couldn't help being a little funny.

The taming scroll has long been sold like crazy in the auction house.

Now players are generally at level 28+. Most of those who didn’t get pets at the beginning are impatient to start leveling their pets again. Therefore, there are many people who directly capture adult beasts. Needless to say, this scroll is very popular. .

Moreover, Xiaolei also followed Fang Yi's instructions and adopted the strategy of starvation sales - only a small number of scrolls were placed in the auction house each time, giving those buyers enough time to bid before placing another batch.Anyway, this is a monopoly product, as long as the price is not too high, Fang Yi is not worried that it will not be sold.

Such a hot commodity, Zhang Qian's subordinates have already noticed it, and then look at the name of the auctioneer... acquaintances, it is Xiaolei's character, the sword dancer-Xia Hua.

"Hey, you are so smart, leader~" Xiaolei flattered Zhang Qian first, and then said with a smile: "I'll tell Brother Fang, see if I can give you a discount~"

Hearing this, Zhang Qian couldn't help feeling a black line on his forehead.Now this taming scroll has fetched [-] gold coins in the auction house. I heard that it is even more outrageous in Waterdeep City. All of them have been photographed by the local tyrants there. The number ten professional player needs to be raised, and the current liquidity is not sufficient recently. If he really goes to the auction house to participate in the bidding, the bleeding will not be a little bit.

However, this is not Xiaolei's personal belongings, so Zhang Qian couldn't ask for it.

In fact, what Zhang Qian didn’t know was that Fang Yi gave Xiaolei the right to make independent decisions a long time ago—because Xiaolei worked in Crystal Thumb after all, Fang Yi also expected that Zhang Qian would have ideas after knowing this, so he had already told Xiaolei , you can sell things to Zhang Qian at a discount. This will not only benefit people, but also make Xiaolei's staff in the studio better. Why not do it?

But how could Xiaolei have the heart to let Fang Yi suffer?So from the beginning, I didn't mention this to the people in the studio, and I didn't admit it until Zhang Qian called her over.

But how lively Zhang Qianxin was, he thought of a way as soon as he rolled his eyes.

"Xiao Lei," Zhang Qian leaned on the sofa and said earnestly: "You know, our studio is going to send people to the war map to check it out recently. After all, it is considered a popular place in the game. The few people around us The war maps are too small, and they are all small fights, which are not interesting. I want to form an elite team and go to the Valley of Fear on the northern slope of the Osram Mountains..."

"Really?"

Xiaolei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face - isn't Brother Fang right there now?

"Ahem..." Zhang Qian looked at the little girl in front of her who couldn't hide her thoughts, couldn't help but secretly smiled, and said solemnly, "You read about this scroll?" (To be continued...)
