Chapter 8 The Heart of Light
At this moment, Fang Yi felt the water flow change direction, and after a lot of darkness, a hazy light suddenly appeared in the distance. Fang Yi was shocked, raised his hand and wiped his face with the river water, opened his eyes hard and saw that there was indeed a light!
Fang Yi quickly moved his cold hands and feet, swam hard towards the shore with a less standard dog planing style.
A human-shaped skeleton leaned against a large stone on the shore. From the incomplete equipment, it was vaguely seen that it was a druid, and the one that shone was the necklace on the wrecked neck.
Fang Yi stood far enough away, hesitated for a while, and opened the skill panel to light up the detection trap. After careful observation, he confirmed that there were no traps. Then he walked closer and slowly took the necklace off the bone's neck.
The clean white gem on the necklace was shrouded in soft white light, emitting a hint of warmth. Through the translucent shell of the gem, you could faintly see the magical patterns flowing back and forth inside. Fang Yi knew that it was the illusion caused by the surging magic power inside the gem.

"The back of the silver metal wrapped in gemstones is engraved with a line of powerful small words in elves and common words: Your destruction, my faith"
The moment he took off the necklace, Fang Yi received a system prompt: Do you accept the mission of the Holy Light Heart?
Fang Yi directly clicked and accepted without hesitation: After the necklace was damaged, it was still at a rare level. Even if it was not a hidden task, this kind of plot reward with very difficult triggering would not be too bad.
Adventure log update:
"The adventurer in front of you must have been dead for a long time. The clothes and equipment on your body have been decayed after a long period of corrosion. It can only be seen that he (she) was a druid during his lifetime. In the dark and lonely underground world, only the Stone of Glory (Note 1) still shines with the light of the past.
The quality of this magical equipment is so high that many high-level paladins will never be seen throughout their lives. Its original owner must be a noble and pure knight or priest. Maybe you should go to the Temple of Justice in Tysil to inquire?"
Fang Yi has rich experience in treasure hunting. The meaning of the existence of a hidden place like this is to provide players with tasks, and there are usually some small clues.
Sure enough, Fang Yi found a small piece of tree bark and a talisman under the corpse without much effort.
The bark was obviously treated with some secret method. Apart from some dust, there was no change much due to the corrosion of moisture in the cave.
"There are a few words written on the bark in your hand: Quiet Knight"
The amulet is a one-time mission item, "Sid's amulet", which can transform Fang Yi into an otter for twenty minutes.
Before this necklace was damaged, it was at least an epic-level equipment. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was tailor-made for the defense paladin. Fang Yi could not even imagine what kind of magical effect the previous "Holy Light Barrier" skill would have on a guardian knight.
How could a piece of equipment with such an obvious "professional direction" be carried by a druid? Besides, aquatic and land deformation are only low-level spells of druids. There is no reason why druids who can equip this necklace will not be. Could it be that "he" was seriously injured before his death? Judging from the current clues, Fang Yi can only say that this is unscientific.
Fang Yi, who turned into an otter, was swimming in the underground river while still thinking about this task. Judging from the task introduction, this task does not provide more clues at present, but this is also the favorite of professional players. The more troublesome the task is, the more likely it is to get richer rewards.
After swimming in the underground river for about ten minutes, Fang Yi felt bright above his head, so he poked the pointed otter head out of the water, and suddenly a wave of heat came to his face, and then he was sure that he had finally swam out of the dark river.
I looked around carefully and found that the exit of the dark river was in a mountain stream not far from the mine cave. Some players were already in and out of the mine entrance. I wonder if anyone found the ogre nest inside. However, now the player's level is going to die. If the level is high, no one will stay near the novice village. Is there any secret to this ogre nest?
Looking for an unmanned land to restore its original appearance, Fang Yi was thinking about it while watching the trough slowly growing. Suddenly, he remembered that he was flustered all the way. Before he could see what the ogres had come, he quickly lowered his head and pulled it in the package, and found that there were two bottles of "slashing corners of life potion (recovering health points instantly)" in the bag, a dagger and a rune.
Sharp dagger (excellent dagger)
Light Weapons
Equipment requirements: Level 3
Weight: 5
Durability: 12
Damage 6-10 (+20% polished sharply) (Note 1)
"The Ogre's Craft"
Iron Runes (Inlay)
+3 protective gear durability
I'll just go, is the ogre who has chased me for ten thousand miles still a blacksmith? I can't help but use the bad tastes of the game company...
Having said that, Fang Yi was still overjoyed. This thing on level 3 equipment is enough, and the damage is three times higher.
In addition, this rune is also a rare thing. It can allow blacksmiths or tailors to inlay on armor to improve certain attributes. However, it is a bit useless to add durability. No one will be willing to inlay such a garbage rune on a piece of holed equipment. If it is added with armor, it will be valuable... Fang Yi thought of it with greed.
It was noon when the game time was at the hottest time of the Dragon Coast. The NPCs in Yuanwang Town were all retracted into the cool stone house. Fang Yi walked around most of the town before discovering the dwarfs who were enjoying the cool under the tall and lush banyan trees.
Haulod was sitting on his old rattan chair and enjoying the afternoon. In his dream, he found an endless mitrish vein. The silver-brown ore staggered under his butt flashed with the most wonderful light in the world. Haulod was about to pick up a piece of it and appreciate it carefully, but suddenly he felt a swaying mountain, and someone shouting his name loudly. Then Haulod found that countless mitrish ore had disappeared, and a young man with an abominable face (Note 3) was standing in front of him, holding a pile of black things in his hand.
Fang Yi looked at the dwarf under the shade of the tree in a daze... The sleepy ghost who could not wake up just now had to shake the other party's recliner a few times. Unexpectedly, the other party woke up and took the two (20 pieces) of iron ore in his arms, and then began to shout loudly that he had quarreled with his dream.
After a moment of silence, Fang Yi, who was familiar with the temper of the dwarf clan, smiled secretly and said, "Mr. Hao Luod, the task you gave me has been completed. Can you still deduct my reward if you shout loudly?" After that, he made a world-wide "touching ney" gesture towards the bluffed dwarf.
Hao Luod Iron Shoulder couldn't help but suffocate, glared at Fang Yi fiercely, and mumbled and got up and left the rattan chair, while Fang Yi followed the other party into the cottage next to the banyan tree.
The changes in the light inside and outside the house made Fang Yi feel dazed, and in an instant it seemed to return to those dark underground caves. Shaking his head, Fang Yi dispelled these unreal feelings, squinted his eyes and began to look at the slightly low house.
Flying dust and various iron products filled the whole room, most of which were farm tools such as iron chisels. Occasionally, there were a few shoddy weapons mixed in. Fang Yi even felt that they were not as good as the inferior short swords at his waist. Thinking about the prosperous scene of the blacksmith shop in the middle of the town, Fang Yi thought to himself no wonder.
In less than a minute, the dwarf Haolude walked out of the room inside, handed Fang Yi a package (Note 1), and said in a muffled voice: "Although you are not popular, your skills are not too bad. Are you still interested in doing something for me?"
Fang Yi's eyes lit up when he heard the dwarf's words and threw the rewarded copper coins into the package. During the public beta, he played Paladin with a charm of 16, and there were very few NPCs that could actively provide tasks to him. Could it be a chain of tasks?
Seeing Fang Yi nodding suddenly, Hao Luod nodded with satisfaction, "Depending on the cave you entered, there is an alley connecting an ogre's nest. It was originally a fortress for our dwarves, many years ago..."
When Fang Yi saw Hao Luod mentioning the ogre's nest, he immediately had a bitter and revenge expression. Looking at the dwarf in front of him, he couldn't help but be angry: You know there is an ogre, you don't even remind me, you're so bad that I was almost chased by the ogre to the sea of falling stars! Ogres are group monsters with a challenge level: 9, and if you want to attack them, you must have at least a dozen strength.
Hao Lod looked at Fang Yi and muttered, "Who knew you would run so deep..." But the dwarf knew that he was inappropriate. Seeing Fang Yi changing his face, he quickly turned his head to look at the white clouds floating in the sky, and said as if nothing had happened: "Didn't you pay attention to the architectural style of the ogre's nest? It was a ruin of our dwarf clan a long time ago, and I was a bearded dwarf!" Hao Lod said this, and his expression suddenly became inexplicably excited, while Fang Yi quickly took over the task, staring at the bearded dwarf in front of him with shiny eyes.
Note 1: The polishing skills of the blacksmith can increase the damage of the weapon by percentage. The higher the quality of the weapon, the higher the level of the blacksmith required, and the more difficult it is to increase the damage.
Note 2: Glorious Stone: Rare gems are generally produced in small quantities in the standing stone plains of the Enoak Desert, but some people claim to have seen such beautiful stones in the Kalin Desert.
There will be milky white smoke looming inside the high-quality glowing stone, mostly round or oval in shape, and has a very high affinity for sacred magic. It is the most popular mana amplification gem of the church knights or priests.
Effect: Depending on the level of the caster and the blacksmith's skills, the Glory Stone can attach a spell barrier of the highest level 6, and can also be embedded in the caster's weapons to bring a maximum increase of 7% to the sacred spells, and a maximum increase of 5% to other spells. (The effects of multiple gems of the same type cannot be stacked)
Note 3: Players with charm below 9 points belong to the category of "abhorrent" in ordinary NPCs
