God-level Hero-Chapter 1086 - 1018: Entering Ranger Hermit Village

Chapter 1086: Chapter 1018: Entering Ranger Hermit Village

As the Mountain Giant collapsed with a thunderous roar, the expected rewards finally arrived:

——System Prompt: You have defeated a level 7 Mountain Giant and received experience reward +950, and obtained the Divine Artifact "Level 7 Mountain Giant’s Heart"!

Level 7 Mountain Giant’s Heart: Accessory, Divine Artifact, Hero receives -7 Physical Damage, Hero’s army regains 1% life every 5 seconds.

At the same time, every player on the scene, whether knocked out or on the sidelines with a quest, heard the ding-dong sound:

——System Prompt: Your team has defeated a Level 7 Mountain Giant, you have received experience reward +950, and obtained an A-level treasure "Level 7 Mountain Giant Fragment"!

Level 7 Mountain Giant Fragment: Accessory, A-level strategic treasure, Hero receives -1 Physical Damage, Hero’s army regains 1% life every 10 seconds.

It turns out that a 3000-player BOSS battle can reward an A-level accessory! At that moment, everyone was shocked! Although the experience from the BOSS was negligible shared among 3000 people, accessories are something players never dislike having more of!

Moreover, every knowledgeable player knows that the attribute "Hero receives -1 Physical Damage" means dominating the enemy’s level 1 and 2 troops in specific situations, not to mention the army regeneration attribute!

As for the thousands of sightseeing players without quests or spoils, they are envious and upset, not expecting such good accessories could be so effortlessly acquired while lounging with 2000 others!

The whole scene erupted in cheers: "Brother Fei! Brother Fei!"

At this moment, Da Fei stood on the giant’s shoulder with mixed emotions! Finally, he nailed the act of showing off. Sometimes, being smart and being stupid is just a fine line, and this is definitely a skilled task.

As for the newly acquired Divine Artifact accessory, Da Fei, despite his surprise, couldn’t help but feel troubled. Although a hero has 10 accessory slots and players never think there are too many accessories, his accessory slots are already full.

From the initial Misfortune Hourglass, Tree Elf Bow, to the Evasion Talisman won in a match, Nash’s Tooth, then the Demon’s Eye obtained by slaying the Magic Eye, Grand Marshal Medal, then the Nightmare Horn from defeating the Nightmare, to the Unicorn Mane traded from the European Union Zone paired with the Tree Elf Bow for a Combined Divine Artifact, then the Governor’s Medal from the Grand Marshal’s coach, to the Abyss Blood Bottle from killing the Demon King, all 10 accessory slots are full!

If any accessory were to be considered inferior, it would be the Tree Elf Bow dropped by the Resentful Spirit teacher, so it’s best to replace it first. However, if in the future the Divine Artifact "Phantom Divine Bow" is really combined, equipping it will be another headache.

In any case, now is not the time to worry about such trivial matters. Now the entire national and global audience is watching me. I must present myself tall and imposing and carry on the act of showing off to the end! Haha, wahahaha!

At that moment, a Teleportation Gate suddenly appeared in the valley, a few Druid NPCs emerged, surveyed the crowd, then waved their hands, and a shower of green rain fell from the sky, instantly settling the dust in the valley. All the knocked-out players immediately resurrected!

Nightingale shouted excitedly: "We did it! The NPCs have come to take us into the village. We can finally enter the village! Let’s thank Brother Fei once again!"

All the players cheered wildly again: "Brother Fei! Brother Fei! We love you!"

Da Fei smiled faintly: "Line up and get ready to enter the village, don’t push!"

Nightingale exclaimed excitedly: "Everyone listen to Brother Fei, let Brother Fei go first!"

"Yes, yes, let Brother Fei go first!"

Wahahaha, then I won’t be shy. Da Fei waved at all the players, being the first to approach the NPC waiting to escort them.

The gatekeeping Druid asked: "Warrior, our Oranto Village is not a place for ordinary people, even if you have defeated the Mountain Giant, you need a reason to enter."

It’s just a prerequisite quest, right? Da Fei was already prepared: "I was introduced by Teacher Taranna."

"Taranna?" The gatekeeping NPC frowned: "He has been dead for a long time. How could a young human like you meet him? What’s your token?"

Well, you guys are system NPCs, aren’t you? Just check my record to see what I’ve done! Am I likely to deceive an NPC?

Da Fei then took out the Tree Elf Bow that exploded from the Resentful Spirit: "This is the relic of the teacher."

The gatekeeping Druid checked it and nodded: "Yes, it is indeed his. After entering the village, go directly to the village town hall to find the village chief—please!"

Only then did Da Fei breathe a sigh of relief. So, this accessory is unique? Fortunately, I didn’t dislike its poor attribute and sell it, otherwise, after all the trouble, I might not have been able to enter the village.

Now, with a change of scene, Da Fei entered a quaint Elf village adorned with birdsong and floral fragrance. Even the clanging from the blacksmith’s forge sounded like pleasant chimes. The level of sophistication is truly extraordinary! In such a high-level village, how could someone as unwelcoming as Taranna possibly emerge?

Without thinking further, Da Fei rushed straight to the central administrative hall of the village. Along the way, he encountered NPCs either meditating calmly on the ground or spacing out at the sky, with not a single one doing actual work—truly deserving of the Hermit Village, so profound! Da Fei’s anticipation to meet the village chief only grew stronger.

Da Fei arrived in front of the village administrative hall, where a tall ranger guard with tattoos all over his face looked disdainfully at Da Fei and said, "So you’re the chief warrior sent by the Kingdom for cross-region aid?"

What the hell! As expected of a cross-region quest, even the Hermit Village knows about me! But what’s with his tone? Wasn’t it supposed to be that all the Alliance NPCs would be "enthusiastic" after taking on this quest? Is this his idea of enthusiasm?

Da Fei quickly replied, "Indeed, it’s me. I have an important matter to discuss with the village chief."

The guard let out a cold snort, "So a great Elf Kingdom with thousands of years of heritage ultimately relies on a human to save its compatriots. How laughable!" Then he snorted again, "Go ahead, just don’t blame me if the village chief is in a bad mood."

Oh my gosh! Da Fei finally understood why nobody liked Taranna, the whole village seems to be like this! But if the guy is at least able to greet me, that does show some level of enthusiasm.

So Da Fei met an elderly Druid hero sitting on the ground with his eyes closed in meditation in the village chief’s hall, his face covered with red oiled face paint. Honestly, Da Fei has never seen such red face paint in the Elf Kingdom. Elf face paint is usually green.

"Sit!" The village chief said without lifting an eyelid in a lukewarm tone.

Da Fei looked around. Although there were chairs in the room, seeing that the village chief was sitting on the ground, Da Fei naturally dared not sit in a chair, so he sat cross-legged facing the village chief.

The village chief spoke again, "Taranna is my son. He was defeated at the Pool of Radiance, and you, however, are the rising human star who shone brightly at the Pool of Radiance. Your success has further led everyone to think of Taranna as an arrogant and incompetent fool, am I right?"

Oops! Da Fei couldn’t help but spit a mouthful of saliva. This doesn’t seem like the high-and-mighty hermit master at all!

Da Fei hurriedly said, "Village chief, you flatter me. In fact, the esteemed Professor Anwen who was with me has a pretty high opinion of him, just that his temper is a bit too much."

The village chief finally lifted an eye and scoffed, "I told you, I hate humans. Each one is hypocritical! Facts are facts, clearly smug beyond belief yet pretending to be modest and polite!"

Oh my gosh! This is an old and even more venomous, completely narrow-minded character! Forget it, I’ll just go along with his whims. Da Fei sighed, "Village chief, you are right, we humans are indeed hypocritical!"

The village chief snorted, a bit satisfied, "Finally, some honest words."

Hmm? Seems like there’s hope? Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly added, "Especially with our Church of Light, the most criticized for being hypocritical!"

The village chief’s eyes widened as he clapped gleefully, "Exactly, your Church of Light is the worst!"

Oops! Da Fei couldn’t help but spit again, but seeing him so biased, Da Fei decided to keep adding fuel to the fire to make him happy: "Actually, even ordinary elves can be quite hypocritical. They clearly can’t stand that I’m human, but for the sake of appearances, they pretend to be polite, unlike the village chief who is straightforward and outspoken. Talking to the village chief is not tiring at all!"

However, when it came to badmouthing elves, the village chief didn’t comment, merely chuckling coldly, "So, what business do you have?"

Da Fei quickly said, "With cross-region rescue upcoming, I want to improve my ranger level, so I came to your distinguished village following Taranna’s will."

The village chief replied coldly, "The fact that you made it into this village proves your capabilities aren’t insignificant. So tell me, how much do you know about the ranger profession?"

Da Fei hurriedly replied, "My understanding is very shallow, I only know that the ranger is a profession born from the power of nature, and only elves who are naturally attuned to the power of nature can take on this role."

The village chief sneered, "Yet you are a human completely incapable of perceiving the power of nature, so why is it that you can take on this role? Come back to me when you can answer this question! If there’s nothing else, you may leave." He said, closing his eyes again.

Da Fei was left dumbfounded on the spot!

Oh my gosh, really? I’m the one asking you and you’re turning it into a test? Even my ranger master Jilrien is perplexed, and even my newly recruited Druid teacher, the demigod Ann Su, doesn’t know! I can’t come up with anything!

Just as Da Fei was in a state of shock, the village chief’s eyelids suddenly opened again, "Why are you still here? Guard, see the guest out!"

Oh my gosh! I’m such a busy person, come again next time? Where would I find the time?

Da Fei hurriedly said, "I’m afraid that I might upset the village chief if I answer wrongly?"

The village chief, impatient, said, "Isn’t getting me upset just another thing? If you have something to say, spit it out. If not, get lost!"

Fine, then let me shoot off my mouth first! Because I’m awesome, that’s why I can learn! Da Fei solemnly began to spout nonsense, "Because I suspect that the ranger job I took isn’t a ranger at all!"

The village chief suddenly clapped his hands, "You’re not a complete fool! You got it right!" (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to go to qidian.com to vote with recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
