Diablo Destruction

…

The next day, according to the original plan, I took Vilas and the others out to get familiar with the environment.

In addition to Princess Sanwu and the little ghost, even Linya, who had been to Kurast, was in a hurry and did not have time to fully experience the customs of Kurast. Now she just made up for it.

Speaking of the customs of Kurast, uh, the distinctive customs and costumes, the urban system composed of platforms of different sizes, the feeling of paddling on rivers and lakes in a small boat, watching the customs and customs on both sides of the river pass by quickly, It can be regarded as a characteristic.

Of course, if you insist on treating those foul-smelling swamps as one of Kurast’s customs, then I have nothing to say.

There are not many places to visit. The main purpose is to familiarize them with the trade area in the west area and the adventurer activity center in the central area. As for the north area where civilians live, and the east area of ​​the training camp, I don't think that is necessary.

The characteristics of Kula are no different than Rogge Camp. Both the roads and the area are much more complicated. If you want to understand the nearly two hundred platforms in Kuraste, it will take more than ten years of effort.

Of course, the real reason is that I am also confused in the South and East Districts. In this case, I, who once boasted to them before setting off that I was Kurast’s know-it-all, would never tell them...

Because the West District is closer, it was naturally our first choice. It was still so lively, with the shouts of vendors everywhere, large stalls made of densely packed wooden tents on both sides, and an endless stream of merchants and civilians, making the originally spacious area even more crowded. The streets have become narrower.

However, compared with a few years ago, there seem to be new changes. The biggest change is that we can see many elves with long ears.

I vaguely remember that on that trip to the West District a few years ago, I seemed to have bumped into a few slender guys who looked like elves and were covered in cloaks.

Compared with the secretiveness a few years ago, the elves are undoubtedly much bolder now. From time to time, you can see a group of elegant elves passing by, and even see a few stalls sold by elf merchants.

This is inseparable from the fact that the Alliance and the elves have tried their best to repair the relationship between each other in the past few years. The martial arts competition a few months ago broke the last layer of barriers, allowing humans and elves to... They all began to carefully open the closed door that had stood for thousands of years for each other.

Of course, it is unknown whether the news of my marriage to the Elf Queen will have any impact on this. It is said that although the fiancée is young, her reputation in the Elf clan is close to that of the Elf Elder. I estimate that even if There is an impact, and that is also a negative impact.

Maybe some elves have secretly organized an underground group under the banner of "protect Her Royal Highness the Queen and crucify the evil Druid Wu Fan"...

Thinking about it this way, under the psychological effect, the groups of elves passing by seemed to turn around behind them and stare at us with pairs of devil eyes.

Ahem, the topic has changed again. When it comes to the specialties of Kurast Trading Area, I believe everyone’s answer is the same - those dazzling fruits placed in boxes, huge primitive The forest is like an endless treasure house. The resources in it are available to you as long as you have the ability.

It is said that according to the statistics of those scholars, the resources in the virgin forests that are known to humans and have been explored are enough to feed and clothe more than 500 million people and form a stable circulation system. As long as there is no wanton destruction, it will be a A huge treasure trove of food that never runs out.

These huge quantities of fruits are transported by dozens of large and small fleets from various places every day for sale. Of course, the most profitable one is undoubtedly the Lugaoin route. In desert areas lacking fruit crops, from The fruits of Kurast can be purchased at prices dozens of times higher than the cost, which can be said to be a huge profit.

However, this channel is also the most dangerous. It is said that an average of more than ten large ships sink here every month. Therefore, although money is easy to make, only experienced captains dare to make it.

The fruits here are the favorites of the little mermaid Elijah. Although Rogge is also rich in fruits, Elijah seems to be particularly partial to Kurast. Is it because the fruits here have a hint of "sea flavor"?

In addition, Kurast is also famous for its meat, especially one of the three delicacies of Kurast, the Steimon.

These little things look like a cross between a hamster and a rabbit. They look very cute, so many nobles keep them as pets. Although they have little power, they are more alert and faster than adventurers. As the saying goes Cunning rabbits have three burrows, but they have more than thirty burrows. Only the best hunters in Kurast can capture some of them, which are extremely rare.

The other type is the emperor crocodile that I have hunted before. Compared with the cunning and hiding methods of the Styrian beast, these emperor crocodiles seem to be much more leisurely. Those experienced hunters only need to bask in the sun on the mudflats beside the swamp river. Walk around a lot, look for traces, it may take as little as a day or two, as much as a month or two, and you can always find one.

The most important thing is that these king crocodiles are all naturally stupid. Even if they are approached, they will not run away. On the contrary, they will approach them affectionately and proactively - as long as you have the ability to kill demon king-level monsters, there is no technical content at all. .

On the contrary, then you are a natural idiot and will become a nutritious snack for the king crocodile.

The last one left, according to Fini, who was still Phoenix at the time, was not a kind of meat, but seemed to be a kind of bacteria or something. Because she had never seen it before, her memory gradually became blurred.

Of course, in addition to these two kinds of meat that are listed in the top three delicacies, there are other fresh meats that look good, provided you dare to eat them, such as King Kong meat, Godzilla meat, white devil meat...

Since I’ve already complained about it, I won’t make any more complaints here.

After just visiting less than one-fifth of the platform in the trade area, the sun has already climbed to the top of our heads. I touched my belly and saw that Vilas and the others had a good understanding of the trade area. Without saying anything, we sat down. The ship went straight to the central area.

Although there are restaurants in the west area, how can the taste that these serve to sailors, civilians and businessmen compare with the taste that the central area provides to adventurers? the most important is……

The Green Forest Bar is still as lively as ever, not only because there is one of the most beautiful maids in the entire Kurast Bar - Oona, but most importantly, there is the most beautiful transvestite in the entire Dark Continent - Fini! !

"Welcome to Linmeow~~"

The bell hanging on the bar door had just rang, and Fini's enthusiastic voice came. The closeness and nature in it made people feel as warm and comfortable as if they were home.

It's been a while since I last saw this guy. He has already perfected his various maid skills.

"Ah, cousin meow~~!!"

After the door opened, Fini raised her head, showing an expression of surprise mixed with timidity, as if she was worried that something bad would happen to me like the last time I forced her to take her to the Demon Fortress to be a tour guide, and something bad would happen to me.

"Don't worry, I'm just here for shopping this time." I smiled bitterly and gave up.

"Really, meow~~ Just wait, I'll ask Oona to prepare the best food right away. I'm treating you, meow~~"

Feini breathed a sigh of relief, showed a cute and cute smile, turned her body nimbly, turned her elegant and beautiful maid skirt into a rippling lotus, and then ran upstairs with small steps. Every time you take a step, the golden bell on your neck will make a clear tinkling sound.

"..."

This world is so scary.

After we were seated, Oona walked down not long after, with a hint of deep vigilance in the maid's unique warm smile.

"I wonder what you adults would like to eat? Our store is quite lacking in food. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality. If you are not satisfied, the Kurast Bar on the third street to the left from our store can definitely satisfy your cravings. taste."

Holding the silver plate in both hands, and bowing slightly, Oonapi said to us with a smile.

Is this an eviction order? It’s an expulsion order, right?

"No problem, no problem, I'm very satisfied with this store."

I also laughed, and my real eyes were confronting Oona in mid-air, and my subtle aura immediately made all the adventurers around me look over.

"Ahem, as an alliance elder, I should set an example. In terms of food, even if I only have coarse grains, I can cope with it. However, this task must be carried out meticulously.

"Any... mission? What mission?!!"

After hearing what I said, Oona became nervous as expected, and frequently used force behind her to make Fini, who had half of her head peeking out from the corner of the stairs, run away quickly.

"Well, let me tell you the truth. The alliance needs a guide now..."

Before she finished speaking, Oona's feet went weak, and Fini, who was hiding at the corner of the stairs, couldn't stand still. She let out a mournful "Meow~" and fell out with most of her body.

"Sir, you..."

Vilas on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore and pulled my sleeve helplessly.

Although Fini once tried to eat Willas's beloved lamb, Willas couldn't bear it now, but she, who was also a bartender in the past, couldn't bear to see Oona in trouble.

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding."

Seeing that the fuss was almost over, I stopped when I was done. I smiled and pulled Oona up, who was kneeling on the ground with her legs limp. This stubborn little maid threw away my hand as soon as she stood up and left angrily. I went there and had a frightening lunch because I was afraid that she might have tampered with the food.

But to be honest, in the next few months of Kurast experience, it would be good if Fini can be a tour guide. I, a half-assed tour guide, really can’t do anything in front of Vilas and the others. If it comes down to it, she can't even compare to Princess Sanwu.

"Cousin, wait a minute, meow~~"

Just when we were about to leave, Fini, who had been hiding upstairs, finally trotted forward regardless of Oona's obstruction.

"What's the matter?" I looked at her curiously and asked.

"This meow~~"

As she spoke, Feini opened her clenched fist, and a small crystal lay in her palm.

"This is……"

Looking at this crystal, I hesitated for a while, and finally showed a look of surprise.

This broken crystal was first found on the altar of the lava platform behind Duriel's cave after killing Duriel. Then I obtained it from Feini during Kurast's operation to support the elves. I found a piece of the same fragment, then found another piece from the treasure chest in the tribal temple, and the fourth piece was found from the pile of debris exploded by Yi Zuer.

When I first got the crystal water tablets, I never expected to be able to gather the other fragments scattered in unknown corners of the Dark Continent. However, these fragments seemed to be destined to me, and they were gathered in my hands piece by piece. If you go to Feini's current piece, it would already be the fifth piece.

"This is a cat I bought from an adventurer. Isn't my cousin collecting these fragments?" Faced with my blank expression, Feini smiled.

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Collecting the crystal shards, I patted Fini's head gently. The transvestite seemed happy to be patted several times like this by me.

I'm afraid she paid special attention to it after seeing me asking for a piece from her last time. She was quite attentive and considerate.

After leaving the Green Forest Bar, we continued to wander around, mainly to familiarize them with the distribution of the adventurer area, including some of the more important places, such as the adventurer trading market, the blacksmith shop opened by the shemale Mamasan Master Hera Tieli, and There are major gathering places for adventurers to exchange information, and by the way, the Green Forest Bar just now is one of them.

In fact, I was reluctant to go to the last stop, but for the sake of Vilas and the others, I had to endure it.

The central area of ​​Kurast is a paradise for adventurers, and the central platform in the central area is the seat of the Mages Guild. If you want to leave Kurast in the future, you have to go there. How can they do it without getting familiar with Vilas? Woolen cloth?

After arriving at the central platform, I pointed to the pyramid-shaped tower several hundred meters high and introduced it to Vilas and the others.

"Due to the terrain, Kurast cannot build walls, so the defense system to protect Kurast relies on the defensive magic circle surrounding the entire Kurast, and the core of the magic circle is this pyramid."

As we approached the pyramid, I proudly explained to Vilas and the others.

"To be precise, it should be the Skathin Blade in the crystal ball on top of the pyramid, also called Gidbin. It is a short blade shaped like a diamond. Once every three months, the mages input mana into it. , converted by Gidebin into energy that can be consumed by the defensive magic circle..."

"But there is nothing in the crystal ball!"

Before I could finish my performance, the troublemaking little ghost pointed at the crystal ball on the top of the tower and asked.

After glaring at her, I raised my head and put my gaze on it, but my expression was stunned. Just as the little ghost said, the crystal ball was empty and there was nothing.

Could it be...

Thinking of a possibility, my brain suddenly became congested, and my lips almost became angry. I led Vilas and the others to another platform and stopped in front of one of the thatched stone houses.

From inside, there were coming out some strange tones that made people feel ridiculous upon hearing them, and they were vaguely accompanied by the rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables.

"Old man Omus, get out of here!!"

Yelling like this, I kicked open the wooden door before the other person came out of the house.

Inside, there was an old man wearing a strange robe that was neither a monk nor a monk. He had a bald head, was tall and thin, and had dark skin. He looked like an Indian Asan. The weird tune came from his mouth.

We saw him with his back to us, humming a tune and cutting something with a kitchen knife. Looking at the time, he must be making lunch.

After hearing the sound of the door breaking, Omus turned around in surprise. He held the kitchen knife in his hand, a short diamond-shaped blade about half a meter long that was as exquisite as a work of art - Gidbin.
