Chapter 231 What kind of experience is it to take a bath in the spirit spring marrow (6k)
After a short break, Sarah really suddenly tossed out a luncheon.
Before that, Sarah didn't prepare any farewell ceremony, after all, night is the time for their activities.
In fact, the giant beast that Han Yu summoned just now was a bit scary.
Although he didn't know what his actual strength was, the fact that Han Yu still hid his actual strength was enough to surprise Salamander.
This has already made her start to think about whether she is Han Yu's opponent if she is one-on-one. After thinking about it, Sarah is quite confident.
After all, what Han Yu is good at is summoning, as long as he takes down the summoning object, it will be fine.
But if summons of that level were to wreak havoc in the royal city uncontrollably, it would definitely be a disaster.
The food at the banquet is still commonly used by elves, and most of them are all kinds of rare and beneficial fruits.
Gao Haoqiong ate very happily, and now all the fruits in the outside world are rare things.
Most of the fruits that grow in the dark forest are slightly poisonous. Only when there is really no food, people with strong physiques can eat a little to satisfy their hunger.
But Han Yu still felt that the taste was bland, even the meat that the elves specially prepared for the two of them didn't have any spicy seasoning, it was too bland.
The only thing that Han Yu likes is the spirit spring wine that Sarah said, it is really good wine, and after drinking it, the exhaustion will disappear and the mind will be clear.
It can also provide players with a buff state: Qingming, identification skill level +1.
With the improvement of Han Yu's energy, he can already identify information on monsters ten levels higher than his own.
But for level 40 monsters, he doesn't need to read information at all.
But after the level is increased by one, monsters of level 45 can be identified, which is still useful for Han Yu.
After drinking and eating, Han Yu kept saying that the wine was very good.
Sara gave Gao Haoqiong and Han Yu two pots each in pain, and then arranged for someone to take Han Yu out of the city.
After leaving the city, Han Yu and Gao Haoqiong followed the two male elves on a black panther domesticated by the elves.
In front of you is an endless plain, only occasionally you can see a few stretches of woods.
In front of the elf, there is a flying harrier, constantly changing direction.
According to them, the terrain here is constantly changing, and there are no effective markers on the plain.
Therefore, it is difficult for most elves to ensure that they can find the location of the king city quickly, and most of the time they have to rely on the eagle to guide the way.
Han Yu and Gao Haoqiong walked quickly on the plain for nearly an hour, and saw a huge tree crown covering the sky and the sun.
The elf leading the way ahead saw the canopy slow down: "Mr. Han Yu, we will be there soon."
As they continued to approach, there was a towering forest in front of them. As Han Yu and the others entered, a night elf with a longbow on his back stood out from the canopy from time to time, looking at the two humans curiously.
After crossing the forest and rushing for more than ten minutes, the black panthers on several people began to pant, and Han Yu finally saw the Elven King City.
A giant tree soared into the sky. From a rough look, it might be more than a hundred meters high. The Elf King City was built at the root of the tree.
The city wall is not as thick as the previous city, but the area is much larger, and it is covered with vines.
Soon under the city wall, the four stopped before the city gate.
The guarding elf checked the hand of the leading elf before slowly lowering the city gate.
After entering the city, they did not bring Han Yu into the city immediately, but placed Han Yu in a house near the city gate to rest temporarily.
The elf who led the way took the letter written by Salamander to report, and he was eligible to go to see Jiang Ziqi after the elf king agreed.
After lying down in the arranged lounge for about an hour or two, someone knocked on Han Yu's door.
It was still the male elf leading the way: "Mr. Han Yu, the queen wants to see you, please come with us."
Han Yu tidied up a bit, walked through the city, and finally entered the palace located in the center of the city.
As soon as he entered, the breath of life rushed towards his face. Tyrande, Queen of the Night Elf, sat at the top, looking down at Han Yu.
"Han Yu, can you enter the abyss?" The queen lowered her head, looked at the two of them, and asked in a stern voice.
Han Yu looked at the Elf Queen without any scruples. She was wearing a black robe with intricate patterns engraved on it, her skin was gray and black, and there was a pale gold mark on her forehead, which was somewhat similar to the one on the head of the elemental dragon.
And Salamander's scroll was placed next to her, so she should already know the reason for Han Yu's visit.
"As long as my partner can, I can."
"And relying on my companion alone, even entering the abyss, the process will be very difficult."
"You haven't even seen the abyss, how can you be sure?" The elf queen slowly walked down from above. If she could add a helper, she would naturally be willing.
"We're from the same place, and what she can do, I can do too."
"Okay, if you can enter the abyss and plug the gap, I can give you the reward you want."
"Do my best, but first, let me make sure my companion is safe."
Han Yu didn't see Jiang Ziqi, so he didn't know what the dungeon mission was.
But I can only agree to the matter first, and then I can talk about it after seeing Jiang Ziqi with my own eyes.
"Your companion is completing a ritual, and it cannot be interrupted for now." The elf queen Tyrande had already walked close to Han Yu.
She hadn't seen a human being for many years, not to mention that Sarah described Han Yu as extremely powerful in her letter, and said that he was the key to truly solving the abyss.
This made Tyrande even more curious about Han Yu, but Han Yu was a human summoner, which always made her a little uncomfortable.
"Ritual? What ceremony?"
"Washing the marrow." Tyrande explained: "Her strength is too weak, even if she enters the abyss, she can't fight against monsters, so I need to help her improve her strength first."
"A ritual that cannot be interrupted?" Maybe this is why the two are in the same instance and cannot communicate through the game.
"You can look at it from a distance, the ceremony is coming to an end."
"Come with me." Saying that, Tyrande walked in the forefront, leading the two into the palace, into a room filled with fragrance.
Jiang Ziqi was coiled in the center of the room, and next to it was a strange formation.
The lines of the formation are composed of pale golden liquid, and Jiang Ziqi, who is sitting in the center, has been completely covered by the golden liquid flowing upstream.
Han Yu froze for a moment when he saw the golden liquid, no wonder the scent was so familiar.
Although the color was a little lighter, it was clearly the essence of the elf spring that I had just drank.
With a bottle of 30,000 experience points, Jiang Ziqi used so much to irrigate his whole body.
"This is the essence of the elf spring?" Han Yu was a little stunned, how could this night elf be so generous.
Sarah was so stingy when she gave two bottles of wine, she was willing to give it to Jiang Ziqi.
As an enchanter, Han Yu observed the symbols on the ground, all of which were for enhanced absorption. He didn't know how long the ceremony lasted and how much spirit spring marrow he had to consume.
"It is indeed the essence of the elf spring. Her strength is too weak, so we use a special method to help her wash the essence, which can quickly improve her strength."
"This... marrow washing? Does it have any effect?"
In the eyes of elves, the precious spirit spring marrow, in the eyes of players like Han Yu, is nothing more than experience medicine.
Is there a big difference between drinking it and absorbing it on the body surface?
"Promoting aptitude is a ritual that can only be used by every generation of elf kings, but now there are more and more monsters running out of the abyss, someone must enter the abyss to see if the magic circle is completely broken."
What Tyrande said was urgent, but to Han Yu's ears it meant, respected brave man, I have a mission here, do you want to take it.
"The ceremony will be over in one month, and she will wake up at that time, and you can wait here." One month is one hour.
But now that Jiang Ziqi was safe and sound, Han Yu felt at ease, and he didn't have to stay here all the time.
"During this time, why don't you take me to see the so-called curse, or the abyss dungeon?"
"Abyss Dungeon? This name is appropriate." Tyrande nodded. They have always been called Abyss, but now it is indeed like a monster city, with everything in it.
"You can only look outside. Now the black mist is getting more and more serious, and it is difficult for us to enter."
The two of Han Yu followed Tyrande to leave the palace, made a big circle, and came to the giant tree that Han Yu saw before entering the city.
Under the giant tree, there is a gap like a wormhole, which is insignificant for this tree, but on the surface of the wormhole, there are black mist trying to drill out, but they are all blocked by a transparent barrier .
"This is the entrance to the abyss, and entering it is the abyss dungeon."
The black mist at the entrance is constantly rolling like a vortex. If it is not blocked by the barrier, the black mist will fill out at any time.
This barrier looks very familiar to Han Yu, isn't this a typical dungeon entrance.
Han Yu put his hand on the barrier.
[Dungeon: Abyss Dungeon
Recommended level: lv50~LV70
Special Dungeon: Difficulty cannot be selected. 】
"You are indeed companions." Seeing Han Yu's movements, Tyrande said, "Jiang Ziqi also made the same movements when she saw this barrier."
"Wait? This level span is too big!" Han Yu was stunned for a moment, why did he even reach level 70.
If the boss inside is at level 70, he can just take Jiang Ziqi and run away.
But Han Yu's expression remained unchanged. If Tyrande knew that the two of them could not solve the problem of the abyss, these dark nights probably would not let him go.
You have to take Jiang Ziqi first, crush the teleportation scroll to see if you can go back.
"Can't you get in by yourself?" Han Yu asked as if nothing had happened.
This barrier is essentially no different from the barrier outside the dark elf dungeon, but Gao Haoqiong can come in with him, so there is no reason for these elves not to go in.
"Of course, anyone can go in."
"However, when we go in, we will be attacked by the breath of the abyss. Many years ago, we could still act in it. Now the black mist's infecting function is getting stronger and stronger. After our people enter, most of them will never be able to come out again."
"Even if it comes out, it will degenerate into a dark elf."
"But your companion, she has a special pass, which can be exempted from the influence, but unfortunately even if we get it, we can't use it, otherwise you don't need to take risks."
This pass should be a special item of the game and cannot be used without a player identity.
Just like the player's equipment, ordinary people can also wear it, but it can't inspire traits at all.
"Are these abyssal creatures about to rush out?"
They are willing to give out so much spring marrow to improve Jiang Ziqi's strength, so they should be in a hurry.
But this is not the first time Han Yu has seen the dungeon barrier, or because of this giant tree, the barrier is very strong, and there is no intention of breaking it.
Tyrande shook his head: "Not for the time being, but the space here is inherently unstable, and the breath of the abyss will permeate from other positions far away from the tree of life, creating passages for those low-level monsters."
"Then attack the king city, trying to rescue their king."
"That's why the cities on all sides are there to defend the abyssal creatures from rushing into the royal court." Han Yu understood in his heart.
Moreover, after entering the city, he also observed that the elves in the palace were indeed strong, but there were very few real backbones. Presumably, they were all assigned to defend the city of the abyssal creatures.
"Understood, do you want us to block this abyss for you? This seems a bit difficult..."
A level 70 boss is difficult if you think about it, there is absolutely no way to get it.
"You don't need to go into the deep abyss, just clear the nearby monsters in the first area, and then repair the formation to prevent other monsters from escaping."
"Sealing the magic circle? This is not something ordinary people can do."
"It's a very simple formation, but it still needs to be learned, so the two of you need to stay in the city for a while."
"I have studied the formation a little bit, maybe it can be faster."
Jiang Ziqi seems to be an alchemist who changed her profession. It is indeed difficult to learn formations, but although her sub-profession is not good, she still has a foundation.
"Really?!" Tyrande showed a look of surprise, more and more convinced that Han Yu and Jiang Ziqi were the people sent by the ancestors of the ancient elves to help the night elves out of their predicament.
"That's easy! If you can quickly forge formations, then things will be much easier!" Tyrande subconsciously said to himself.
If Han Yu's speed of repairing the formation is fast enough, even if the monsters are not cleared, it will be more dangerous, but entering the abyss is an extremely dangerous thing.
But Han Yu was unwilling: "But Your Majesty, my combat power is not much different from that girl's. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to deal with those monsters in the abyss."
"Huh?" Tyrande, who was still surprised just now, couldn't react for a while.
On the scroll sent by Sarah, it was clearly written that Han Yu was extremely powerful, and his summoned creatures roamed the battlefield.
Few monsters can block the coordinated attacks of several summons. Even Sarah, who is an elf envoy, said that she may not be the opponent.
In her opinion, Han Yu's strength should be more than one level stronger than that girl.
Han Yu had an embarrassing expression on his face: "So I still need to improve my strength, can you give me that formation too... If there is too much delay, the abyssal creatures that come out may become stronger and stronger... Many elves defending the city will die because of this.”
"Ahem, I also want to go down to help, but I don't know if I can go in this abyss." Gao Haoqiong, who was next to him, heard Han Yu's words and followed suit.
He hadn't heard of the spirit spring marrow before, but just the word "washing the marrow" was enough to make people's hearts move.
Tyrande smiled wryly and shook her head, knowing what Han Yu meant: "Elf spring marrow is very rare, and it takes five years to produce a marrow washing circle, and it also needs to consume various precious materials."
"We have been fighting continuously recently, and we really don't have much left."
"But Mr. Han Yu, we are very grateful for your help. I will prepare ten pieces of elf spring marrow for you when I get back, as a gift for you. After all, entering the abyss is indeed very dangerous."
"Mr. Gao Haoqiong, if you can enter the abyss, you will have ten shares. If you cannot enter, we will also prepare other gifts for you."
"Alas... I really want to help." Han Yu shook his head angrily.
"But yesterday I was defending Shalan's city, and the consumption was too much. Now most of the summons don't know when they can be used. You know, I'm a summoner. Without summons, I'm useless... ..."
Han Yu wouldn't believe that the elf spring was about to run out, and the night elves had lived here for who knows how many years. How could there be such a little reserve.
Moreover, a magic circle actually needs five years of elf spring marrow, which made Han Yu even more curious about the function of the magic circle.
"Mr. Han Yu!" Tyrande couldn't hide the anger on her face, she had already expressed her sincerity, but Han Yu didn't feel satisfied at all.
This will take the time outside, enough for the great magisters from the outside to grab their heads.
"Indeed, when the Han Yu brothers finished defending the city yesterday, it was already difficult for them to stand firm. It was not until they rested for a day that they finally had the energy to come to the royal city."
Gao Haoqiong sent an assist at the right time.
Tyrande remained silent, and Han Yu stopped talking, quietly waiting for a response.
After three seconds of silence, Tyrande bit her lower lip lightly: "I can take out the elven spring marrow prepared for my child and complete the marrow washing ceremony for you, but when you come out of the abyss, there will be no other rewards. .”
"Okay! Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen!" Han Yu didn't expect Tyrande to agree so quickly, and immediately agreed.
Equipment in this world was scarce, and he didn't know what other good things the night elves could produce besides spring marrow.
On the contrary, it is the spring marrow, one share is 30,000 experience points, and if you come to the whole body to wash the marrow, you can't go four or five levels, and it's no more fragrant than one or two pieces of equipment.
"Okay, I'll hold a ceremony for you when I get back to the royal city, and I hope your trip to the abyss goes well." After agreeing, Tyrande felt empty in his heart.
She clearly knew that Han Yu was blackmailing her, but she couldn't do anything about it.
"Of course, I'm very confident." Han Yu smiled, and with the marrow washing ceremony, his confidence was further increased.
Even if the recommended dungeon level is 50 to 70, nothing will happen if you don't go down to the deep level.
After returning to the royal city from the entrance of the abyss, Han Yu waited for a while before Jiang Ziqi slowly opened his eyes from the center of the magic circle.
After seeing the elf queen for the first time, she slowly stood up: "Your Majesty, is the magic circle over?"
"It's over." Tyrande's tone was cold, which surprised Jiang Ziqi. The elf queen was very enthusiastic about her before, and she was regarded as the only hope in the village.
"But my strength is still far behind. If I want to enter the abyss, I need to kill many monsters." Jiang Ziqi shook her head slowly.
She has already touched the entrance of the abyss, a copy of level 50, and she cannot bring other people, it is too difficult for her, even if she goes in, she will die.
But when she shook her head, Jiang Ziqi noticed a boy wearing a hood standing beside Tyrande. Although he couldn't see his face, his figure was so familiar.
"Your companion is here, maybe he can help you." Tyrande was very reluctant to mention Han Yu's name, and only noticed when Han Yu blocked his face when he turned his head.
Jiang Ziqi did not answer Tyrande's words, but called out cautiously: "Han Yu?"
Han Yu put down the hood, looked at Jiang Ziqi with a smile on his face, "I've been recognized so quickly, and I want to prepare a surprise for you."
Jiang Ziqi, who had just stood up, saw Han Yu's face and heard Han Yu's voice, the corners of her mouth naturally curled up: "Surprised, very surprised."
While the smile was blooming, tears flowed like a spring. She didn't shed a single tear when she was fighting alone in the forest, but when she saw Han Yu, she couldn't hold it anymore.
There are many copies of Jiang Ziqi's experience. Even in the face of Death Yousheng and the Earl of Blood Prison, she has never been afraid, but falling into the dark forest alone, that kind of despair is more frightening than death, and she never wants to experience it again.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here to pick you up." Han Yu stepped forward and patted Jiang Ziqi's back lightly.
After a few minutes, Jiang Ziqi's emotions had calmed down. On her hand, she was still wearing the ancient elf ring that she had given her.
"After this abyss is over, we can go back, and nothing will happen."
Jiang Ziqi has been found, and he wants to go back now, but he doesn't know if the teleportation scroll can send them back directly in the dark elf dungeon.
And he also really wanted to experience the effect of this marrow-cleansing magic circle, something that was finally bargained, he had to try it.
So she leaned close to Jiang Ziqi's ear and asked, what is the effect after the marrow washing circle is over.
Jiang Ziqi didn't say anything, just showed her player name tag.
When the nameplate appeared, Tyrande and Gao Haoqiong didn't react at all, they probably couldn't see it at all.
Jiang Ziqi's level has become 33, and on the status bar, there is an additional buff status: the blessing of the ancestor of the elves.
[Blessing of the ancestors of the elves: all sources of experience gain a 20% increase, this state exists permanently and cannot be removed. 】
Han Yu looked at the word "eternal", and his jaw almost couldn't close. This wave of transactions is not a loss!
The experience is permanently increased by 20%. It is too difficult to collect the experience in the later stage. This state is almost invincible, no wonder it is called marrow washing.
This is no more valuable than the experience of a few bottles of elf spring marrow.
At this time, Jiang Ziqi also seemed to have realized something: "Your Majesty, but his strength is not as good as mine, and he needs to be strengthened before he can enter the abyss."
"Oh, how do you want to strengthen it?" Tyrande looked at Jiang Ziqi with interest.
"That's right, it's this marrow washing ceremony, can you give him a copy too." Jiang Ziqi blushed.
I already got one, but I still want one for Han Yu, I feel a bit embarrassed.
Han Yu hastily tugged at the corner of Jiang Ziqi's clothes, signaling for her to stop talking.
"In addition to experience, there are three skills that don't take up the skill slot." Jiang Ziqi thought that Han Yu didn't want it, so she added in a low voice.
"Hehe, once this Han Yu came, you changed your appearance." Tyrande maintained a smile, bitter in his heart, and secretly poked at Han Yu.
Most people in the city liked the girl Jiang Ziqi, after all, she was the only human being in the village, and she was still the hope of entering the abyss.
Why did Han Yu become like this when he came?
But Han Yu, who had already benefited, didn't care, and even wanted to laugh a little.
He hurriedly grabbed Jiang Ziqi who wanted to be reasonable, and explained: "Well, I have actually told Her Majesty the queen that the ceremony will begin immediately."
"Tell me about that side mission first."
It took an hour and a half to edit 6,000 words, and it was still a mess. I was also speechless to myself...
