Chapter 115 The Shocking Change in Harmondale
Not long after Lu Ping quit the forum, Long Xiao Ziyun came over and she was released.Thanks to her for being able to steal the heart of the Griffin this time, Lu Ping could not cross the river and demolish the bridge, so he asked her to go to Macedonia first, and if the Fortress of Levin was open, then go to Harmondale to find him.

Before the stagecoach arrived at Fort Levin, Lu Ping got the news that Fort Leven was also open to players, and players could enter Harmondale freely.

what on earth is it?

More and more guilds have been formally established, and the turf grabbing has become even more intense. Whether it is in Tulare or Erathia, there are many forces in every big city and town fighting for the turf. Those without a formally established guild have already started "reserving".Now that Harmondale is suddenly open, this is a virgin land of no man's land. Of course, many grand dukes will be moved by the news, and Harmondale is located in an important area between the two countries. It is a battleground for military strategists. sufficient.

decisive battle!The Emperor quickly clamored on the World Channel that Harmondale was not a land of no man, but the headquarters of the decisive battle for the world. Those who want to grab the territory should first weigh themselves.

Lu Ping is really speechless. He was the first one to arrive at Harmondale. If you want to snatch Harmondale, why don’t you ask me?Unexpected events happened, could it be that all the work for the housekeeper was for nothing?
Arriving at Fort Liwen, there were already a large number of players pouring in. Lu Ping didn't stop, and immediately took the carriage of the post station to Harmondale. As soon as the carriage was on the road, he went off the assembly line and went to bed.

Although it was a bit depressing and sudden, it was actually within Lu Ping's expectations. Harmondale is not someone's copy, nor is it anyone's private property. Sooner or later it will be open to players, but it's just a matter of time.If you want to dominate Harmondale, there is only one possibility, and that is to really become the number one guild in the world and become his power.But this is impossible. After all, the decisive battle in the world is not his, and he is not interested in engaging in guild hegemony. His goal is to make money, and it is enough to make money.

Lu Ping slept soundly that night, woke up the next morning refreshed, filled his stomach with milk and bread, put on his helmet and entered the game.

The scene that appeared in front of him was the gate of Harmondale's inn. He had already arrived. There were many players on the street, of all races.

There are several more messages, decisive battle!The emperor said that the decisive battle headquarters will stay in Harmondale, there is no need to move, his brigade will arrive soon; Long Xiaoziyun said that he has come to Harmondale by car, and said that Long Xiaowuji thought of setting up a branch in Harmondale Qin Shiming said that he hoped to occupy a piece of land in Harmondale, and asked him if he could help. The Justice Knight asked him about the specific situation of Harmondale...

They all wanted to share a piece of the pie, Lu Ping sneered a few times, ignored it, and walked straight to the castle.At the gate of the castle, the guards immediately lowered the drawbridge to let him in. Several players who were poking around couldn't help but stretch their necks. Why can he go in?
The old butler was not in the hall, nor in the side hall. The guard said he was sick and was in his own room, so Lu Ping followed the guard to the butler's residence for the first time, a very ordinary room.

The housekeeper seemed to be really sick, his face was very ugly, and he was frowning, sitting on the armchair and didn't even have the energy to stand up.

Lu Ping was furious at first, seeing him like this, he couldn't react immediately, and coughed: "My lord, I have already met the two kings, and they both promised not to attack Harmondale. "

The butler didn't even look at him, and shook his head blankly: "It's useless, Harmondale is over."

Lu Ping hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

The butler finally took a look at him, shook his head and sighed again: "You have done a good job, but there have been other changes, and your efforts have become meaningless...Of course, the reward promised to you will not be less, 20 The gold coins will be deposited directly into your bank, and there's a piece of equipment in the box over there that you might need."

The system prompts that the "Diplomat" mission is completed, and you can get 80000 experience, 500 justice reputation, and 20 gold coins.

Lu Ping doesn't pay much attention to this bit of experience and gold coins. He is more concerned about why Harmondale suddenly opened to the outside world.

"Master Steward, why did you agree to open the border? Is the elf king threatening you? We are not afraid of them, we have Diya's undead as our backing!"

The butler's face became even more ugly, he looked around nervously, waved the guards to go out, and said in a low voice when he saw the door was closed: "Two days ago, I received a letter from the master requesting that the borders be opened so that the civilians of the two countries can come out." You can freely enter and exit trade, and the letter also said that Casto no longer trusts them and has put them under house arrest... Oh my god, this really echoes the old saying, "The birds are dead, and the bow and arrow are no longer needed." It's crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!"

Lu Ping was taken aback: "Didn't you say that our lord is the person Castor trusts and relies on the most? Why did he suddenly change?"

"No, no, that's time has passed. No wonder the master hasn't come back for a long time. Maybe the old bastard wanted to deal with the master long ago, so he didn't let the master go home. Without the master, Harmondale will never have peace like before, Both the Griffin Empire and the elves will come to rob, take turns to sit in the manor, extort money, and the residents here will never want to live a stable life..."

Lu Ping's heart sank, the four lords were imprisoned, Harmondale had no backbone, and no Diya as a backer, it must be over, there is no hope here, and there should be a better way out sooner, Archibald should is a good choice!

There was a special treasure box next to the butler's bed. Lu Ping stepped forward to open it. Inside was a level 25 combat glove, dark red equipment, and the identification failed.The mission of the diplomat took a lot of hard work, and the rewards were not bad. It was special equipment for this profession. Lu Ping finally regained his mental balance. He took the gloves and left, going out to find Wal-Mart.

The guards in the castle were a little flustered and uneasy. Lu Ping searched around, but couldn't find the dead item, so he went into Erwin's armor shop and appraised the gloves.

[Sun Fighting Gloves], attack power +20-28, protection power +14, strength +12, intelligence +12, hand-to-hand combat +2, water resistance +20%, soul resistance +10%.Quality: Perfect, Equipment Requirements: Level 25, learn unarmed combat.

Adding strength and intelligence at the same time is just right for Lu Ping, and his water resistance and soul resistance are relatively low.The [Silver Gloves of the Unicorn] that was replaced is quite top-quality, and it can be sold for ten gold coins at least if thrown into the auction house.

After changing the equipment, the strength is 93, the agility is 73, the accuracy is 62, the constitution is 59, the intelligence is 107, and the luck is 57. If you take the staff, the intelligence will reach 120, which is nothing more than a professional mage. Is it true that you should be a mage? route?After changing clothes, I feel that luck is a bit low. It is best to find one or two rings that increase luck and change them according to different situations.

When equipped with the Prophet's Hat, the attack power is 162-176 (excluding additional damage), the hit rate is 143, and the protection is 139; when replaced with McGlynn's helmet, the protection power is as high as 163, and the shield warrior will feel inferior when seeing it!
When Lu Ping walked out of the armor shop, he saw Wal-Mart Lin shrinking at the other end of the corridor at a glance, so he immediately followed him, followed him around the corner, and walked into a hut.

"How's things going?" Wal-Mart Lin closed the door, staring at Lu Ping with big eyes and asked in a low voice.

Lu Pingdao: "Tell me what's going on first, what happened to the lord of Harmondale? Why did it happen?"

Wal-Mart Lindao: "You think I'll know about this? I'm just a mouthpiece, don't overestimate me."

Lu Ping took out the Griffin Heart: "Where is my reward?"

Wal-Mart's eyes lit up strangely: "This is the legendary Griffin Heart? Great, the master will definitely be able to repair it, and even turn it into a more powerful treasure... As for your reward, the master will give it to you, no People can steal your credit."

Lu Ping understood that he didn't dare to play tricks, so he handed over the heart of the griffin to him, and Walmarin said again: "Master still has a task, you know, and now it's time to implement it!"

Lu Ping knew what he was talking about and killed the arbitrator Slien!
Slien was the "mediator" sent by Diya. If he was killed at this time, Castor would definitely vent his anger on the four lords of Harmondale and kill them.From this, it can be speculated that Archibald must have arranged for Casto to turn against the four lords on the inside of the city of the abyss. Archibald is a generation of heroes, and anyone who underestimates him will suffer.

Now that Harmondale is hopeless, of course he must unswervingly work for Archibald, but how can he kill Slien who is hiding in the House of Stars?
Wal-Mart Lin said: "If there is nothing else, you can go quickly, the owner's reward will be delivered to you in time."

Lu Ping showed a fawning smile: "Can you tell the master to send me some dark magic books, you see, I have learned dark magic skills, but I have no magic to use, isn't it too wasteful? Or you Sell ​​me a copy or two, and now I have plenty of money!"

As soon as money was mentioned, Wal-Mart Lin remembered the last time he was threatened by Lu Ping, and couldn't help shivering: "No, no, do you think the dark magic book is carrots and cabbage, and you can buy it anywhere? Even in Di An elegant dark magic association, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. I dedicated myself to the darkness to become a necromancer, and I have only learned a few kinds of dark magic after decades of time... Anyway, I will convey your wishes to you of."

Lu Ping is also a little distressed. The current monsters may not be exposed to the dark magic book. The only way is to get it from Archibald, so it is imperative to complete the task assigned by him.

When walking out of the castle, Lu Ping kept thinking about how to kill Slien. It is best to go to the House of Stars to investigate first, and he can also report to him on the pretext that he has completed the mission of a diplomat. If he goes there a few more times, maybe he will open the door to welcome guests. Then he will poison, set fire, assassinate, etc. Anyway, there is a way.

When Lu Ping walked to the gate of the outer city, he saw nearly a hundred players fighting outside the city. One side seemed to be Korean, and the other might be British. Many of them had already become famous.

They all want to grab the territory, if the dog bites the dog, you can kill it!

Lu Ping suddenly remembered something, the hermit living in the cliff cave is a bit weird, maybe he can also get the dark magic book from him!After changing jobs last time, I forgot to look for him again because I was busy. Now that I think about it, his long hair has been covering his face, and he has never seen his eyes. Could it be that he is a member of the Blind Brotherhood?
Almost every player can join the NPC guild of the corresponding profession, and then can accept guild tasks, and buy equipment, magic books, skill books, potions, etc. in the guild, which is very helpful.Hongyue and Weixiao also joined the NPC guild when they went to Erasia this time. Only Lu Ping has no organization and no backer. Maybe they have to find the legendary Blind Brotherhood to have a chance.

It took nearly half a day to reach the cliff cave. The scene inside remained the same, with a broken bed and a few earthen jars, but no one was there.Could it be to find something to eat, or go to WC?Lu Ping was a little reconciled, turned around and went out to find no one around, and there was still no one when he went in, the hermit had really left.

Disappointed, Lu Ping's heart suddenly moved: Will the old guy leave any clues or hints?

He knocked open several earthen jars, which were either empty or full of water, nothing special.Lifted up the broken bed again, and searched among the musty rags and rotten grass, but there was still nothing of value.He lit the fire of light, and began to search every corner, every stone crevice...

Suddenly his eyes lit up. On the back of a very inconspicuous stone, there were some lines drawn with sharp stones. At first glance, it was messy and meaningless. After looking carefully for a while, he found several symbols hidden inside: One is a circle, the second is two arcs intersecting each other to form a fish shape, the third is three wavy patterns plus a slash, the fourth is a triangle with two points, and the fifth is a vortex Wen is a bit like a yin and yang fish.

What does this mean?Lu Ping scratched the back of his head, with question marks all over it. Does the first circle represent the sun?The second one represents a solar eclipse?Jump into the water for the first time?The fourth represents drilling into the pyramid?The fifth represents the mysterious treasure?So it's a treasure map...

After guessing for 10 minutes, Lu Ping still couldn't figure out the direction at all. Maybe these symbols have no meaning in the first place, maybe they have different meanings to different people, and it is impossible to guess them out of thin air.So he stopped guessing, and drew these five symbols into the adventure log memo, and then took a sharp stone to scrape off these lines and symbols.

Coming down from the cliff, Lu Ping went straight to the House of Stars. At this time, An Li, Bing Jiling and others had arrived in Harmondale. Once gone and never returned, they were all a little depressed.

Hongyue said: "Brother Lu, what should we do now? When you walk out of the city gate, you have to be very worried, for fear of being killed by mistake."

Bingjiling said: "It's not just a manslaughter. There are many people who want to kill Brother Lu and us. Harmondale is no longer our exclusive paradise."

Lu Ping said: "Don't be in a hurry, let's fight! The emperor told me that he will mobilize a large number of people and use Harmondale as the headquarters. If they have the strength to occupy it, foreign players and other guilds will not be able to gain a foothold, and they will leave. It will calm down gradually."

Wenwen said: "I don't care to hang out with them!"

Bingjiling said: "That's right, do we still have to rely on them for protection? This is our territory!"

Lu Ping smiled bitterly: "Aren't we also members of the decisive battle? It's not like they protect us... Actually, I'm looking for a way out, maybe I can find a better place than Harmondale!"

"Really? Where?" Everyone asked.

"I don't have much confidence in this matter. I will tell you when I succeed."

Slightly smiled and said: "If you have any difficulties, we can work together to find a solution!"

Leng Wa said: "Yes, we can't wait for elder brother to arrange everything!"

Hongyue said: "Hey, I finally said something like a human being."

Leng Wa was furious: "Since when did I say something that doesn't look like a human being? Sure enough, I have big breasts and no brains, running around naked..."

"Smelly beast, how dare you speak of me!"

Lu Ping shouted: "Stop arguing, come to me, maybe you really need your help!"
