Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 66: Strange Elf Girl
Leading the team forward, with Razidanan, the royal guard, holding the line in the front, Murphy could finally give up completely. He didn't even have to worry about the only task of holding the line.
Razidanan brought four sword and shield infantrymen and one light infantryman, which was more than enough to deal with the occasional fish that slipped through the net.
Killing monsters as he walked, the only thing Murphy had to do was to determine the direction. He walked in the snowy mountains until after three in the afternoon, killing hundreds of snowmen, dozens of direwolves, and accidentally killing a nest of ice trolls. He also met several teams of adventurers on the way, who were extremely envious of Murphy's leisurely look.
There was also a five-member adventurer team that wanted to join Murphy's team, but Murphy couldn't agree to that because adventurers would take away a lot of experience, and the plot mission was a secret that couldn't be exposed. Instead, he used a gold coin to hire the opposite priest to replenish the blood of several infantrymen who had lost blood, and sold a bunch of snowman furs to the other side.
As they passed through the Snowman Mountains, the levels of the monsters around them became higher and higher, but their numbers became fewer and fewer, and adventurers also became very rare. They didn't know when snowstorms appeared in the sky. After trudging in the snowstorm for a while, the shadow of a huge mountain towering into the clouds suddenly appeared in the white snowstorm ahead.
As he got closer, Murphy could see the shape of the mountain clearly.
The mountain peaks are covered with ice and snow, and the exposed parts are pitch black, like a pillar piercing the sky.
At the top of the mountain, there was a huge howling storm, with flashes of lightning from time to time. It was spinning like a huge vortex, and it did not look like a naturally formed landscape. Lead-gray clouds covered the sky, and it was obviously a dangerous place.
The silver beam of light emitted by the ancient dragon rock statue was pointing towards the peak of the mountain.
Murphy took out the map and looked at it.
Tongtian Peak - it really lives up to its name, the mountain goes straight to the sky.
It seems that the Dragon Feast must be there.
However, how to get up there became a problem. If I were still the ancient black dragon Morpheus, I could just fly up there.
But now ...
Maybe he could get a griffin. It shouldn't be difficult considering his status as a prince.
However, Murphy suspected that even a griffin would not be able to break through the storm.
Maybe I can climb up the mountain. Although the mountain is steep, there may be hidden passages. Anyway, I should get to the foot of the mountain first.
Murphy waved his hand and the team continued to move forward.
Tongtian Peak is surrounded by a relatively flat snowfield with only some snow hills that are slightly undulating. As we walked, a column of smoke suddenly appeared behind a snow hill in front.
"Look, there seems to be a camp there!" Rachidanan shouted.
Murphy rushed up the hillside and looked. Sure enough, in a sheltered depression surrounded by snow hills, there were several tents and some supplies piled up. In the middle of the camp there was a big fire and a flag.
You can see a dozen dwarves and an elf girl studying something there.
Murphy immediately recognized the flag. It was the Explorers' Association! He was delighted, thinking that he might be able to get some information from them.
He shook the snow off his cloak and led the way towards the camp.
The dwarves in the camp over there also saw him and picked up their weapons and became alert.
When both sides got close to each other, the other side immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Murphy took a quick look and was slightly surprised that among this group of dwarf explorers, there was actually a gold-level hero.
Muradin Bronzebeard (Adventure Hero), Level 65, Gold Tier 5.
It turned out to be this guy, the second of the three Bronzebeard brothers and the younger brother of King Magni Bronzebeard of Ironforge.
However, what really made Murphy understand him was when he was playing the Warcraft campaign. This guy went to Northrend with Arthas to find Frostmourne, but he was killed by the shock wave when Arthas drew his sword. It was quite a pity at the time, but later in the World of Warcraft era, he found out that this guy was not dead...
However, Murphy very much doubts whether such a plot will happen in this world. After all, there are more princes in the Kingdom of Lordaeron than in Alterac. A big part of the reason why Arthas fell was because of too much pressure. Now that he has so many good brothers to help share the burden, he probably won't turn evil again.
As for his rich brothers, it is hard to say whether those kryptonians who spent millions to become princes in Lordaeron were going there to protect the Kingdom of Lordaeron or to seize Frostmourne...
Becoming the Lich King is a very tempting thing to think about.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Hello, fellow dwarves and this beautiful elf lady. It is such a pleasure to meet fellow Alliance members in this cold and dangerous snowy mountain. I am Prince Aidan of Alterac, and it is an honor to meet you all."
Murphy said this, bowing slightly.
The dwarves immediately returned the greeting enthusiastically, and Muradin, who was leading the group, laughed out loud.
Muradin Bronzebeard (Exploration Hero): "So you are the kid from the Pinored family. Oh my, you have grown so tall. You look much stronger than your father. I am Muradin Bronzebeard. These are my dwarves. This lady, Vast as Smoke, is also a senior explorer. I met her on the road."
The name Haomiao Ruyan tells you that he is a player, and he seems to be a rare player with the explorer template.
Murphy nodded silently at the elf girl. More than a year of hosting career made him automatically put himself into the plot identity when facing NPCs.
Doing this is a habit and it can also save you a lot of trouble.
The elf girl seemed very surprised to know Prince Murphy's identity. She immediately returned the greeting in a reserved manner, trying to behave like an elegant lady, and secretly looked at Murphy.
I have to say that Murphy's look at this moment is really handsome, wearing a heroic Borean Knight suit, and his face has been specially sculpted to beautify it a lot, plus with the bonus of the prince's talent, he looks sunny and handsome. If he is equipped with an Alterac horse, he will definitely be the Prince Charming.
Murphy didn't realize what , he was still focusing on his mission.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "May I ask what you are doing here? I have never heard of any ruins or secrets worth excavating in the mountains of Alterac."
Muradin Bronzebeard (exploration hero): "Hahaha, you don't understand this. The more rarely people go to a place, the more secrets it hides. Not long ago, I learned from a group of adventurers that there is a mysterious and strange ancient ruins here, which can be traced back to the Dark Ages before there were any written records. I immediately led a team of warriors here.
As expected, we found the ruins, but we encountered many strange snake people nearby and had conflicts. In addition, the blizzard came, so the exploration was temporarily terminated. "
Murphy was slightly surprised after hearing this. It was the first time he heard of snake people. Could it be that they were related to the Dragon Feast Land?
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Then could Mr. Bronzebeard take me to the ruins? As the prince of Alterac, I cannot ignore such things happening on my land."
Muradin Bronzebeard (Adventure Hero): "Well, I'm afraid it's not possible today. I have to consider my teammates. Why don't we wait until the blizzard stops and then go and have a look together."
Murphy was a little impatient, the key was that once he found the Dragon Feasting Ground, he would immediately earn 500 plot points.
At this time the elf girl next to him suddenly said.
"Your Highness, let me lead the way for you." She looked at him expectantly.
Mo Fei was thinking, what is this girl trying to do with all this enthusiasm?
He was a little unsure of the situation and thought about it.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Ah, beautiful lady, it is a pleasure to have your help in this cold wasteland. It would be great if I could have your assistance, but I really don't want to put you in danger. Are you sure this won't cause you any trouble?"
"Hahaha, handsome guy, you are so warm... ahem, I mean - Your Highness, don't worry, I am happy to help, and I can take care of myself."
"Thank you very much."
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. It's my duty." The elf girl patted Murphy's shoulder in a 'brotherly' manner. After that, she seemed to feel that it was too abrupt and clenched her fists in regret.
But she quickly regained her composure, and walked forward with . Murphy hurriedly led the team to follow, and when they were farther away from the camp, the elf girl took the initiative to talk to him without Murphy opening his mouth.
Murphy was free and thought about it, so he started chatting with the girl. The girl was quite humorous and seemed to be an RPG fan. She kept asking about the royal family of Alterac.
Murphy answered casually.
"By the way, Your Highness, do you have a girlfriend now?"
Hey, what does this girl mean by asking this question? Is she interested in me?
Murphy had some feelings for this girl, and thought that she could be a good friend. "No, how about we add each other on WeChat?"
As soon as these words came out, Haomiao Ruyan, who was originally shy, suddenly froze, "Are you... a player?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
“Nothing… nothing.” Haomiao Ruyan held his forehead and sighed, his expression suddenly becoming serious, “Forget about adding WeChat, but I can’t lead you through such a dangerous journey for nothing, how about you give me some gold coins as my reward.
Murphy was speechless. This woman changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. "Okay, how much?"
"100 gold coins!" the elf girl said gritting her teeth.
100 gold coins is really not a small number. It is equivalent to one thousand yuan . The prince had an initial capital of 500 gold coins when he was born. He killed monsters along the way and got dozens of gold coins. He used 200 gold coins to upgrade Razidanan, and now he has more than 300 gold coins.
In the past, Murphy would have bargained first, but this time he was anxious to complete the task and was too lazy to do so.
"Okay, one hundred is one hundred."
Taking the gold coins, Haomiao Ruyan immediately led the way without saying a word. Mo Fei followed behind her in confusion, not knowing what was wrong with this woman.
