Chapter 169 The Wine of Noxus
"...What, have you left?"
Lin Yiyi asked unwillingly, "When exactly?"
"Not long ago."
The dwarf bartender with a maroon-red beard like a plait was wiping the wine glass while raising his head slightly and recalled, "It's almost two days, or three days..."
The main task of this stage is to collect intelligence on the big map. It is a relatively slow stage.
So the players formed a light sharp team of four by themselves, and traveled freely throughout the underground world.
Chase Captain Celicia in the Stone while dispelling nightmares to level up and light up teleporters.
And the four-person offline black team with Lin Yiyi as the captain-including four people from Si Anke, Jiu'er and Citalopram, was the first team to obtain effective information.
Because they actually started out, just to light up the "southernmost teleportation point", and arrived at the southernmost part of the Denisoya Kingdom, below the "Good Luck Corner".
The Kingdom of Denisoya is a large island nation.
Its southernmost point was once called the "Dragon Hunting Peninsula".
As early as during the bloody battle, it was bombed and sunk by a golden-ranked wizard, leaving only a small sharp corner in the north. This happened to be a complete town with surrounding farms... So later, the town was renamed "Good Luck Corner".
Because the entire peninsula was sunk, and almost all the residents above were killed in the sea or in the explosion... Only this town was lucky enough to escape, and even achieved the miracle of no casualties.
This can definitely be called "good luck".
After the Great Enchantment of the United Kingdom began to operate, the Good Luck Corner was the southernmost part of the currently known civilized world.
Of the four nations of the earthly world, the United Kingdom is the "most broken" piece. And Winter is the most complete piece. Although Winter is only a principality, its area is the largest.
Winter even borders directly on the eastern side of the country, while the most southwest side is only 30 nautical miles away from the frozen water port. And this trench was also formed naturally - of course, when the imperial capital was still there, it was just a river.
The reason why it is a duchy is only because there was only the Grand Duke of Winter, and after the sudden death of the empire on the spot, after the bloody battle, it still followed the tradition of the duchy since ancient times, and did not take the opportunity to become the king.
Like the current Denisoya Kingdom, they were also principalities in the beginning.
Today, if the four kingdoms on the ground were put together, it would almost look like a handle. Noah occupied the most fertile continent in the northwest corner, as well as several small islands in the east and south.
The United Kingdom occupies the largest islands to the south of Noah, as well as a vertical "big island".
This big island is the kingdom of Denisoya.
The reason why there will be a trench between Noah and the United Kingdom, and between Noah and Winter, as the boundary of the country... It's not because of the magical work of nature, nor is it because they encircled the land that way.
But during the bloody war period, it was blown up by the destroyed wizards.
The United Kingdom is the country with the most wizards destroyed, and they are also the country with the most wizards assassinated.
——So they are the most fragmented country.
The main part of the United Kingdom is the "grip" part on the left side of the handle. Many of those small islands were blown up from the main island.
The trench between Noah and Noah was once not that wide...
It was also caused by the bombardment of the wizards on both sides. Some used to belong to Noah's part, and some used to belong to the United Kingdom. Because what the Denisoans do best is cross-border bombardment.
Denisoans believe that equivalence can solve everything—and if it doesn't, it's probably because equivalence isn't enough.
The core idea of destroying wizards, "deterrence brings peace", is also a typical Denisoya idea.
Even if it's not a wizard of destruction,
Ordinary Denisoans share this notion.
Just like the dwarf shopkeeper in front of Lin Yiyi and the others - this is the first dwarf community that the players have found.
Although they are now underground, they still have the traditions of the Denisoans. For example, these dwarves drinking in the tavern, and those red-haired people, everyone has guns on their bodies... It's just frightening to watch.
It turns out that although the underground kingdom has no affiliation with the above-ground part.
But whether it is folklore or tradition, the underground part has an obvious inheritance relationship with the city directly above it.
After going from the underground of the Winter Kingdom to the underground of Denisoya, the most obvious change is that the "weapon possession rate" has directly increased by more than 300%.
The firearm is on the side of the Sporophyte Mill, and it only exists as a secondary weapon.
Because it's too loud, it's not stealthy at all... and it's slow to reload, lack of precision, and easy to accidentally injure teammates. Generally, it's only used by supervisors -- in the hands of supervisors, its biggest role is to fire a shot as a deterrent.
In Denisoya's underground area, a medium-sized town called "Saltpeter Ranch", the situation was quite different.
Even the elderly and children here will definitely carry weapons. The first priority is firearms...even if you don't carry a gun, you will carry a crossbow, a dagger, and a hand axe.
At the Sporophyte Mills, those people would hide even if they were armed. Everyone wears heavy clothes so that no one can see how much wealth and how many weapons they have.
But here in the saltpeter ranch, everyone is eager to bare their shirts and show their guns and wealth directly.
Lin Yiyi even saw the man "Ike Burning Fang" who made the copy of Wizard Killing, and the special ornaments he saw on the Shield of Unfallen - a big gold chain like a mahjong tile.
- That's actually a specialty of this area.
There are even shops that specialize in this stuff. There are gilded versions, bronze versions, and of course there are really pure gold ones - and the different words written on the mahjong tiles seem to have different meanings.
Like a tattoo, there's even an identity gap.
Different levels of status...and the types that can be purchased are also different.
The Denisoans seem to believe that wealth held is also a form of power. They will show their full power as much as possible.
Players even saw a peculiar costume - a gun pocket on the forearm, where the gun is tucked directly. A special mechanism like a hidden arrow, but on the outer arm instead of the inner arm.
And the ratio of superhumans here has also increased significantly... Of course, they don't know if there are guys "dressing up" superhumans mixed in.
According to this custom of the Denisoans, such people must exist.
This custom made Lin Yiyi and the others immediately recognized as "outsiders" after they came here.
At first, this made it difficult for them.
It's not just ostracizing foreigners.
It's a more serious situation...everyone is consciously bullying the weak.
Incidentally.
The reason why Lin Yiyi and the others were able to safely enter the tavern to inquire about the news... The main reason is that Jiu'er was completely annoyed by the robbers who came to the door over and over again.
She directly picked up the axe and rushed over to kill the Quartet in one move, instantly beheading the three adult men who tried to rob them. Then he resisted a close-range shot without changing his face, and then made a maiming blow with his backhand, and performed an amputation operation below the eyebrows on the last man who was suspected of being a bronze hunter.
- After that, they were unblocked immediately.
