NOVEL NEXT Chapter 73 Mission Clues
The most troublesome thing is that there is a certain conflict between this [treasure hunt game] and Ian's current plan.
Darren Grafson and Rohr have been waiting for Ian in Duskendale for nearly a week. If Ian spends an unknown amount of time going to King's Landing to hunt for treasure, he doesn't know how to explain himself to Darren. What did you do?
Ian can only choose King's Landing if he wants to hunt for treasure, because based on his current location, if he chooses to go to Oldtown or Volantis, even if he rushes to the nearest port and takes a boat, it will take nearly two months to arrive. .
So give up? Ian hesitated for a while and shook his head.
He can't do it.
Such a treasure chest may not be very attractive to Ian himself, but the blessing it brings to his enemies is terrifying.
A Valyrian steel greatsword is even a way to complete the second main story for players in Westeros.
If a player gets the Valyrian Steel Greatsword and takes it to Casterly Rock to present to Tywin, Duke Tywin can pay him tens of thousands of gold dragons at once as a reward or even give him a small house in the West. Castle, make him a baron.
After all, Tywin has been coveting tile steel swords for most of his life.
Therefore, the player who finds the treasure box can directly complete the main line one and two in a row. If that person happens to kill one or two players in the process of grabbing the treasure box, Ian's top position in the standings will instantly be lost. Stable.
If he chose not to fight for it at this time, it would be equivalent to giving up the opportunity.
Must grab! Ian made a decision.
Because it’s not just the players in the east of Westeros who will choose the treasure chest of King’s Landing as a target. Those players in Pentos who cannot find a way to knock on the door of Illyrio's mansion will most likely take a boat to King's Landing first to try to compete for this treasure chest.
Pentos is only a week's sail from King's Landing by sea, but it takes more than a month to go to Volantis. They can only choose King's Landing.
If the players in Pentos capture the treasure chest, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the risk factor for Ian after revealing his cards to Dragon Mother. Therefore, even if it is not for the treasure chest reward, but just to limit the opponent's access to development resources, Ian still has to get the King's Landing chest.
Thinking of this, Ian clicked [King's Landing] in Bounty Mission 2.
Then the interface refreshes:
[Bounty Mission 2: Treasure Hunt Game
Mission goal: seize the treasure chest hidden by the organizer in King's Landing City.
Mission reward: A two-handed Valyrian steel greatsword, 4000 gold dragons
Clue: Flea Bottom (gift)]
"You will be given a clue after choosing a city?" Ian was a little surprised.
King's Landing is a city with a population of 500,000, and the qualifier Flea Bottom does narrow the target range a lot.
Of course, this is not very intuitively helpful in finding treasure chests. Flea Bottom is a slum in King's Landing, the lowest area in the city, with pigsties, stables, tannery shops, wine cellars and brothels mixed in.
All the buildings there are built close to narrow unpaved alleys and are densely packed. The whole area is as intricate as a maze...
Fortunately, there are still 4 clues available for purchase, Ian thought, and clicked on the points mall.
[First level mall:
Big money bag (contains 300 silver deer): 1 point
Mid-money bag (contains 20 gold dragons): 5 points
Clues (Bounty Mission 2) (4/4): 1 point]
Seeing that a clue only costs 1 point, Ian's heart sank. If 4 points are enough to buy all the clues, the probability of other players quickly finding the treasure chest will increase significantly. Maybe he hasn't arrived at King's Landing yet. , the box was carried away.
After all, players can get 4 points as long as they eliminate a player by hand.
Without hesitation, Ian clicked buy.
[The transaction was successful, and the second clue of the bounty mission (underground) was obtained. Remaining points: 24]
"Underground? These two words are the only clue?" Ian rolled his eyes, feeling like he had been cheated out of money.
The Flea Bottom in King's Landing is so big that every house may have a basement, so the first clue is probably none.
Turning his attention to the mall interface again, Ian was surprised to find that the price of a clue had increased to two points.
Seeing this scene, Ian smiled. For the first time in his life, he was happy that the prices of things had increased.
But he does have reason to be happy. After all, if the price of each clue increases, it will not be so easy for other players to buy up all the clues.
To confirm this, Ian clicked buy again.
[The transaction was successful, and the second clue of the bounty mission (death) was obtained. Remaining points: 22]
This time the clue is still only two words, and the qualifier 'death' is much more pointed than 'underground'.
If the two clues are connected together, the first thing that Ian thinks of is the 'catacombs'.
This is a customary burial method of the ancestors. There are family catacombs under almost every castle in the North. But for King's Landing, a city with only a 300-year history that was only built after Targaryen landed, there are There is no such thing as catacombs. Ian can't make a judgment at this moment.
Maybe it's not a catacomb, but simply buried in a cemetery? This can also meet the two clues of (underground) and (death) at the same time.
Unable to get a clear enough idea from it, Ian looked at the updated mall interface again.
[Clue (Bounty Mission 2) (2/4): 4 points]
With 4 points, Ian felt much more relaxed.
This price almost stumps most players at this time.
Ian suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen on the Internet before, "It's not its shortcoming, it's your shortcoming."
He felt that this sentence was inexplicably appropriate here. When other players couldn't afford the next few clues but he could afford them, the price became a shining advantage in his eyes.
Clicking buy again, the third clue appeared in front of Ian's eyes.
[The transaction was successful, and the second clue of the bounty mission (ruins) was obtained. Remaining points: 18]
When Ian saw this word, the first thing that came to his mind was 'dragon's lair'.
It was a huge lair-like structure at the top of Rhaenys Hills in King's Landing, where the Targaryens once kept their dragons.
After the Dragon's Lair was destroyed, subsequent rulers of the Targaryen family never demolished its ruins. To this day, the ruins of the Dragon's Lair still stand on the top of the Rhaenys Hills and the Great Saint Baelor on the Visenya Hills. The church faces each other in the distance.
The Dragon's Den is the only building in King's Landing that Ian can think of that fits the clue of [Ruins], but unfortunately, the Dragon's Den is not in Flea Bottom.
Seeing that the last clue had increased to 8 points, even the wealthy Ian did not click to buy it easily. He planned to wait until he came to King's Landing to conduct an on-site investigation. If he really couldn't find the clue, he would consider buying the last clue. A thing.
