Chapter 405: The Harpy's Trap
The Dark Dragon City is not only unique among all dungeon forces, but also extremely special among the player community.
Generally, when players enter the game, they will be randomly assigned to a novice city of the size of [Acropolis].
After players have developed in the [Acropolis] for a period of time, they will start to go to the [County City] and [Main City] to complete tasks.
The only exception is Dark Dragon City.
In order to facilitate control, the benevolent monarch only built the city of Saint Fran and did not choose to build any branch cities.
After Luo Lelei succeeded to the throne of Saint Fran City as the Lord of the City, he simply changed the name of Saint Fran City to Dark Dragon City and did not build any other branch cities.
Therefore, all players whose birth point is in the Dark Dragon City area will be concentrated in the Dark Dragon City.
Dark Dragon City is the only main city-level novice city in the entire Heroes Soul World.
As we all know, male players cannot become harpy.
Therefore, there are overwhelmingly more female players in Dark Dragon City.
What a coincidence, the boss of the first guild of the dungeon power in the previous life, Dragon Blood, [Momo Moril], and the person in charge of the Tianxia Hegemony dungeon power branch, Minotaur War God, were both born in Dark Dragon City.
However, the development of the two people is very different.
[Touch Muriel] is a girl, a real harpy.
She decided to join the World of Heroes after watching the character of "Dragon Lady Morrell" in the promotional video of the World of Heroes. She is an avid fan of Morrell.
A true fanatical fan is definitely not the kind of black fan who would show off his dragon feet.
[Touch Muriel] Not only did she take on the rare Harpy profession, but she also relied on her status as a hero to become the city guard of Dark Dragon City, and her life was quite comfortable.
[World Hegemony] The person in charge of the dungeon faction branch, his id is [Tauren War God], and his race is Tauren.
Unfortunately, he is a bull-headed man.
Unlike female minotaurs who can produce milk even without giving birth, male minotaurs are good for nothing except fighting.
Dark Dragon City is very fair.
Relying on the benefits of abundant timber resources, Dark Dragon City has achieved free food, housing, education, and medical care for its residents, and its welfare benefits are extremely high.
But this kind of fairness only applies to harpies and human women with the bloodline of benevolent kings. Other races do not receive such good treatment.
Especially males of other races.
Having suffered from the rule of villains like Ren Jun, the people of Dark Dragon City generally have prejudices against all male creatures.
In Dark Dragon City, as long as you are a male, you cannot hold any important position and will be treated differently in various ways.
Due to the reproduction needs of the harpies, males with high charm values have to sell their bodies in exchange for survival supplies.
Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the start of [Tauren War God] is a start from hell.
Not to mention that he couldn't get any missions, even if he wanted to go out of the city to fight monsters, he had to queue up and get the approval of the NPC city guard.
The most outrageous thing is.
[Tauren War God] Because he is too strong, he would be kidnapped by the harpies from time to time and take turns having sex with them.
Not everyone is like Qi Ge, who has a kidney harder than steel.
[Tauren War God] often dies due to overdrawn energy. His experience points drop and rise, rise and drop again, making him live in agony.
But players are strange creatures.
If you ask him whether his life is hard, [Tauren War God] will say it is hard.
But if you ask him whether he wants to delete his account and start over, he will say no.
…
…
Competitors are enemies.
As the leaders of the two strongest guilds in Dark Dragon City, the relationship between [Tauren War God] and [Momo Moriel] is not very good, even if it cannot be said to be incompatible.
At the very least, you can't pee in the same pot.
But today, the two of them brought their respective elite teams together for the first time.
"Hurry! Hurry! The Seven Pigeon God said he'll be here soon!"
[Tauren War God] carried a battle axe and gave orders anxiously.
"Hurry up and prepare to welcome him. It's rare for the great god to come to our underground city. We must make him feel at home."
Following the shouts of the Minotaur God of War, many players from the Tian Xia Hegemony Guild quickly ran forward.
There are long welcome signs, colorful flower baskets, and a red carpet covering the ground.
This welcoming road perfectly embodies the enthusiasm of the Tianxia Baiye Guild.
In comparison, the [Dragon Blood] Guild was much quieter.
Under the leadership of [Momo Moril], the [Dragon's Blood] guild simply prepared a large number of coolly dressed harpy players.
Well, that's enough to drown the seven pigeons.
[Tauren War God] was still waiting anxiously, when suddenly his friend message popped up.
"Um!
The Great God of Seven Pigeons!"
He quickly opened the friend message.
——
Ten minutes ago
Qi Ge: God of War, I’ll be there soon.
Minotaur God of War: Great God of the Seven Pigeons, we are all waiting for you! Don't worry, everything is ready.
——
Now
Qi Ge: Well, God of War, I’m sorry, I have a small problem here and may be delayed for a while.
Minotaur War God: Oh, oh! It's okay! We'll just wait. Great God, what happened to you? Do you need our help?
——
Qi Ge: This... you may not be able to help me. As for what happened... well, you will know when you look up.
The Minotaur God of War raised his head and his eyes widened in horror.
In the sky, the Dark Dragon City’s harpy guard of honor was pulling a gorgeous golden sedan with a rope.
The Great God of Seven Pigeons, whom he had been waiting for, was sitting in the middle of the sedan chair, surrounded by a group of harpies, flying towards the direction of the city lord's castle.
"Ah, this?!" [Tauren War God] was stunned.
Those harpy NPCs who once stepped on them and rubbed them wantonly were now nestling in the arms of the seven pigeons like little birds.
There was a group of harpies next to them and they couldn't squeeze in even if they wanted to!
"Damn it, envy and jealousy.
A real man should be like this!"
The Minotaur God of War expressed strong indignation!
——
Qi Ge: God of War, wait a minute, I will come over after I deal with the NPCs.
Minotaur God of War: Okay, Master, you are busy.
…
…
However, what the Minotaur God of War didn't know was that the Seven Pigeons were not at all as comfortable as he saw them.
This golden sedan chair was left behind by the "benevolent king" back then.
The stamina and physical strength of the harpies themselves are very limited. In order to pull this golden sedan chair, at least 200 harpies are needed to pull it together.
Before Luo Lelei defeated Renjun, Renjun liked to demonstrate his supreme majesty and power by traveling around Renjun Kingdom in a golden sedan chair.
After Luo Lelei defeated Ren Jun, this golden sedan chair became a ceremonial vessel used only when receiving important guests.
If the person is not very important, Dark Dragon City will never send out this golden sedan chair.
If I remember correctly, the person who rode in these two golden sedan chairs last time was Muriel.
Not only was there something wrong with the sedan chair that was used to receive him, but even the harpies surrounding it were not right.
Qi Ge randomly asked the names of several harpies around, and all of them had Basil in their names!
In other words, they are all related to Basil Ray.
Does Qi Ge deserve this kind of treatment? Doesn't he have any idea in his mind?
Qi Ge felt very uncomfortable sitting in the golden sedan chair.
The harpies tried to get closer to his arms, so he had to hide away as much as possible.
Seeing that there was no place to hide, Qi Ge finally couldn't help but ask:
"Miss Loresi, excuse me for asking.
Where are you taking me?
Is there anything I can do for you? "
Luo Lexi turned around, smiled charmingly, and said:
"Master Xingfeng, according to the order of Her Majesty the Sister, we would like to invite you to visit our City Lord's Castle."
"Castle Castle?"
"Yes! Sister Majesty said that the defense of our Dark Dragon Territory is still a little weak, and we need some city defense buildings that can turn the tide at a critical moment.
Therefore, we hope you can give us some reference.”
Qi Ge was a little confused: "Is that all? Then there shouldn't be a need to make such a grand event, right?"
Qi Ge pointed at the golden sedan chair under him, looked around at the harpies around him, and signaled to Lorexi with his eyes.
"Cheep"
Luo Lexi used her wings to cover her mouth and said
“My sister said that this is to enhance the confidence and sense of security of the people.
Afterwards, we will publicize your arrival to the sisters in Dark Dragon City.
It will definitely give us more confidence to have a top architect helping us design city defense buildings that can protect our homes.”
"I see. Logically, it makes sense."
Qi Ge felt a little relieved.
But when he saw the corners of Luo Lexi's mouth slightly raised between the feathers of her wings, he always felt that something was wrong.
With a nervous mood along the way, Qi Ge finally arrived at the Lord's Castle of Dark Dragon City.
The Lord's Castle of Dark Dragon City is located on a huge rock and its shape resembles a bird pavilion.
Around the rock, there is a whole circle of stairs going upwards.
There are two entrances and exits on the castle.
One faces the sky and the other leads to the ground.
The entrance to the surface and the stairs around the rock were built by Rollelei.
During the reign of the benevolent monarch, the castle of Dark Dragon City had only one entrance facing the sky.
This made the City Lord's Castle a noble existence that was out of reach for the people of Dark Dragon City at that time.
Later, after Rollelei took over, she specially built steps leading to the castle to show that she stood with the harpies.
The golden sedan carrying the seven pigeons drove in from the entrance of the sky without stopping all the way to the nesting area at the deepest part of the bird pavilion.
How did you get here?!
The seven pigeons were shocked.
This is where the harpies hatch eggs together. It is the harpies' nursery and an absolutely important location.
Is it possible for me to come to a place like this?
"Master Xingfeng."
At this moment, Luo Lexi suddenly leaned against Qi Ge and said tearfully:
"Master Xingfeng, please help us."
hiss!
The real purpose is revealed so quickly!
Qi Ge pretended to be frightened, took a big step back, and said in panic:
"Ms. Luo Lexi, please talk nicely.
I am not used to being too close to others."
Luo Lexi started crying and the tears started pouring down.
"Chirp! Master Xingfeng, we in Dark Dragon City are facing a life-and-death crisis. The situation is extremely precarious. Only you can save us now."
"Crisis?"
Qi Ge was confused.
"Master Xingfeng, just look around and you will know."
around?
Qi Ge glanced around in confusion and immediately realized something was wrong.
The entire hatchery is filled with tens of thousands of densely packed bird nests.
But among these bird nests, only hundreds of them contained eggs, and the rest were all empty!
"how so?"
Qi Ge frowned.
“As far as I know, all the offspring of the harpy clan are hatched together and looked after by a dedicated person.
Dark Dragon City is a city of the main city level, and there are more than 100,000 harpies. How could there be only a few hundred eggs hatching?"
"Master Xingfeng knows us, the Harpy Clan, very well."
Luo Lexi nodded and explained aggrievedly:
“Master Xingfeng, the underground world where our Dark Dragon City is located has actually always had a big problem.
It's the area.
Compared with other underground worlds, our underground world is too small.
As an architect, you must know that there is a limit to the world's carrying capacity.
In the past few years, under the diligent management of my elder sister, the population of harpies in our Dark Dragon City has reached the upper limit of the world's carrying capacity.
Once the population reaches the world's carrying capacity, it will trigger world suppression."
Ah, this seven pigeons know.
Players of the dungeon forces in the previous life often encountered such problems.
Once the population reaches the upper limit, the reproduction rate of territory NPCs will drop significantly.
Lorethy went on to say:
"Under the suppression of the world's rules, the young harpy has lost the desire to lay eggs.
Even if they captured handsome elves and strong minotaurs, they would not ask for anything.
The number of new population in our Dark Dragon City is decreasing every year.
Just last year, we had fewer new Harpies than dead.
If this continues, our Dark Dragon City will soon become weak due to negative population growth."
Luo Lexi sat on the ground, crying, and repeatedly stole glances at Qi Ge, but she didn't show any sadness on her face.
When the Seventh Brother turned around, he saw that the harpies who had brought him here were already standing neatly at the door, blocking the entrance tightly.
Tsk! Damn it! This is really a trap!
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Although he knew that the other party was acting, Qi Ge still had to bite the bullet and ask:
"Ms. Loresi, I feel very sorry for what you are going through.
Excuse me, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Luo Lexi's eyes lit up and she said excitedly:
“There are two ways to solve the current situation.
One treats the symptoms, the other treats the root cause.
Let’s talk about the fundamental solution first.
If we could build a miracle building or natural wonder in our Dark Dragon City, we could increase the population carrying capacity of our world.
The problem of the harpies being unwilling to have children due to the suppression of the rules was naturally solved.
Natural wonders are something you can only encounter by chance.
But we have prepared a blueprint for a miracle building.
The blueprints for the miracle building are still with Her Majesty the Sister. When Her Majesty the Sister comes back, you can start building it."
A miracle building.
Even if they provide the blueprints, it will take a long time to build.
Qi Ge couldn't help but hesitate:
"Ms. Luo Lexi, the fundamental solution is a little difficult.
Can I hear how to treat the symptoms?"
Luo Lexi covered her cheeks with her wings and said shyly:
“If we want to treat the symptoms, it’s actually very simple.
All you need to do is find a male hero who is incredibly attractive and powerful.
Relying on the other party's powerful charm, he forcibly broke through the suppression of the world's rules, making the harpies' ovaries hot and stimulating their passion for reproduction.
I guarantee that as long as that male hero is willing to spare two months every year, our fertility target will not be a problem."
Luo Lexi stared at Qi Ge with burning eyes and said:
"Master Xingfeng, based on my observation, your qualifications will definitely allow you to complete this task easily."
Qi Ge's expression suddenly became serious:
"Ms. Loresi, let's talk about the Miracle Building."
"Jiu Mi! You actually refused directly!
Master Xingfeng, you can think about it more.
Just lay a few eggs with us, you won’t get tired.”
several?
Tens of thousands of hatching nests are empty, and I'm not blind.
Qi Ge replied righteously:
"Don't think about it. I don't have any other hobbies except building miraculous buildings."
Luo Lexi looked at Qi Ge with disappointment and said aggrievedly:
"If you agree to help us build the miracle building, we will bear all the expenses during the construction, and give you a reward ."
Sixty thousand pieces of wood!!
so much!
Qi Ge opened his eyes wide involuntarily.
Luo Lexi saw Qi Ge's expression and immediately bowed and said:
"Master Xingfeng, please don't be angry.
I know that this reward for you to build a miracle architect is far from enough.
But the resources in our Dark Dragon City are really stretched to the limit.
Maintaining the sisters' high welfare for a long time has put our financial situation very tight.
In order to buy the blueprint of the miracle building, Her Majesty the elder sister went to the border of chaos and garrisoned there for two years before she could gather enough military merit to exchange for the blueprint of the miracle building.
We are really sincere.
If you feel the remuneration is too little, we can make up the shortfall in installments.”

Seven Pigeons: ...
grass!
The mission with the highest reward is option 3?!
It's like there's a treasure chest on a fire pit, with a note on the treasure chest telling you there's no trap.
I believed your lies.
Qi Ge said without hesitation:
“I understand the situation.
Let’s not talk about the remuneration for now. Let’s wait until His Majesty Rollelei comes back.
No matter what the reward is, as long as His Majesty Roller Lei comes back, I will definitely help you build the miracle building."
"Really?!" Luo Lixi was overjoyed.
"Of course! A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."
"Master Xingfeng, I am so grateful to you.
Please let me lay an egg for you as a token of my gratitude!"
Seeing Luo Lexi approaching, Qi Ge felt a chill on his back and immediately refused:
"Please don't!"
Miss Lorethy, is there anything else you need my help with?"
"Ah, no more."
"If not...
Well, as I said before, my friends are still waiting for me in Dark Dragon City."
Qi Ge blinked several times at Luo Lexi, giving her crazy hints.
Luo Lexi pouted and said unwillingly:
"Then I'll take you out."
…
…
Seeing Qi Ge leaving under the escort of a group of harpies, Loresi's originally smiling expression gradually changed.
"This guy is really interesting."
"Sister, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, another Lorethy flew out from behind the harpy's nest!
"Xiao Qian, notify everyone to send a few harpies to follow Xingfeng.
Don't follow too closely, pretend to patrol from high above."
The original Luo Lexi's body began to change slowly and soon turned back into a human form.
If Qi Ge were still here, he would be very surprised.
The person who just talked to him was actually the monarch of Dark Dragon City, Basil Lei, the ruler of the harpies.
Luo Lexi asked curiously, "Sister, your majesty, didn't Xingfeng agree to our request?"
Luo Lelei shook his head and said with a smile:
“I agreed, but the process was not what I expected.
According to my analysis of him, he should be very interested in staying with us.
But he chose to help us build a miracle building."
Luo Lexi blinked and asked carefully:
"Sister, is there a possibility that Xingfeng is a gentleman?"
Basil Lei flatly denied:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Judging from Xingfeng's performance at the dance, he is definitely a social veteran who is good at dancing with women.
Such a person must be a pervert."
"Could it be that he doesn't like the harpy?"
“No.
I saw it clearly when he was teasing Xiaochu.
At that time, his eyes swept across three parts of Xiaochu's ears, wing down, and tail feathers.
These three parts are the eagle dancer's weaknesses.
Especially the tail feathers.
If the harpy dancer's tail feathers are grasped by someone, she will be unable to move.
But he stared at Xiaochu's tail feathers the longest.
This shows that he was not only interested in the harpy, but also had very close contact with her.
Furthermore, the duration of contact will definitely not be short.”
Luo Lexi tilted her head in confusion and asked:
"Sister, since Xingfeng is also a scumbag, why do you want to keep him here?
Don’t you hate those scumbags the most?
Because he's good-looking?"
Luo Lelei touched Luo Lexi's hair lovingly and said softly:
“You are still young and don’t understand the value of an architect.
In the entire Yasa world, there are no more than 12 existing architects, and even if two are divided among the nine major forces, they will not be enough.
Of the legendary architects, the only one whose whereabouts are currently known is Agaide.
I heard from Her Majesty Moril that the relationship between architects is stronger than that between father and son.
As long as we leave Xingfeng behind, Agaide will do his best to help us.
Chaos is coming, and only with the help of two architects can we have a safe rear.
Even if Nigon is defeated, Xingfeng will be able to protect you."
Seeing Luo Lexi lost in thought, Luo Lelei turned in the direction where Qi Ge left.
"Tsk. Unfortunately, I was too impatient and let him get away this time.
Luo Lelei's eyes gradually became dangerous:
"It doesn't matter. There is still a chance."
