Players’ NPC daddy

In the end, AA was outnumbered and in an abnormal state of continuous heavy metal poisoning, and was pierced through the body by Fafnir's tail.

The last resistance AA could make was to store the entire set of equipment in the warehouse to ensure that it would not fall after his death.

Without his armor, AA's skin immediately started burning, but he would not die from environmental damage.

Fafnir opened his mouth towards AA, and the gold solution spurted out, instantly submerging AA. Then Fafnir sucked up the gold solution again.

When the last of the gold solution was sucked away, AA disappeared.

[Rhine Giant Fafnir LV300-LV310]

【YOU DIED】

After the familiar death prompt, there was no familiar resurrection countdown. This was a special death caused by being absorbed by a monster, so AA could get more information. In his vision, the world was set on fire and burning fiercely.

And in the flames, a huge ghost ship was looming.

How do we know that it is a ghost ship? Of course it is not simply judged by the classic ghost ship elements such as the tattered sails, dirty deck, and ghostly green flames.

is the setting.

After the blessed person dies, the soul flame can be rekindled in the bonfire, but in fact the blessed person still goes through the process of death and resurrection.

The soul flame produced after death is no different from the soul flame produced by other monsters. It will be crushed or affected by elements related to the undead.

If there is a setting that [you will be trapped here forever after death], then players will be able to see the scene of their souls being stranded or attracted before they die, among which the ghost ship is the most distinctive one.

AA approached the ghost ship, but before he could get a good look at it, he felt a sense of shattering, as if his soul was crushed.

Among the flying soul fragments, he vaguely saw a person with a suture scar on his mouth.

"Got you, Loki."

AA didn't know why he said that, but it was cool to say and should be scary for Loki.

……

AA slowly opened his eyes. He opened his eyes in the Decisive Fortress, and other players were already waiting for him.

Although he lost, he got enough important information. He would usually lose in a battle against a LV300 monster, not to mention AA or a one-on-one fight.

Players who have watched the normal battle all think that the winning rate in the battle against Fafnir in the Giant Volcano is too low, no matter how many people are involved.

This is also a T0 level monster that is limited to the Giant Volcano, and is much stronger than the Blizzard Dragon King.

Now they have to start thinking about how to lure Fafnir out from the depths of the Giant Volcano, at least not in the fifth level hot zone, which is too unfavorable.

Seeing that other players were actually discussing such unimportant matters as Fafnir, AA realized that the live broadcast was automatically cut off after death, and no one knew about the ghost ship afterwards.

AA immediately added this, and everyone's expression became a little solemn. Ghost ships often have a very troublesome factor, that is [the dead cannot leave the ghost ship].

A ghost ship is a group of monsters. When a conflict occurs with a ghost ship, once a player or NPC dies, the crew of the ghost ship will increase, and the level will skyrocket. The more people die, the higher the level, and the level increase is permanent.

This special mechanism of the ghost ship is permanent, which means that the ghost ship has been absorbing the souls of the dead for thousands of years or even longer.

The only good news is that death in the fourth-level hot zone will not trigger the CG of seeing the ghost ship, which means that the absorption range of the ghost ship is limited, only in the fifth-level hot zone.

But that's not small.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the Jinlunga Chasm, which looked like an extremely huge river that could accommodate many ships.

"Let's...get rid of Fafnir first."

Chapter 1053 Golden Bait

At this time, AA brought another bad news. He had no money and all the gold coins disappeared after his death.

Dropping gold coins upon death is not a big deal, but losing all of them is abnormal.

"Could it have been taken away by Fafnir?" someone speculated.

This answer was recognized by the vast majority of people, and AA's answer seemed to have been absorbed by Fafnir.

This absorption process was probably the process of taking away the gold coins, and the last image they saw was that Fafnir's level had risen.

Some people speculate that Fafnir may be upgraded by accumulating gold, just like the special profession [Rich Man]. This can also explain the gap between Fafnir and other LV300 or so BOSSes that can destroy the world.

The ability to absorb gold also allows players to think of better ways to lure Fafnir.

Cutting off Fafnir's parts and then running like a naughty child to induce him is certainly a good method, but there are too many uncertainties, for example, Fafnir's limbs can be transformed into mini Fafnir.

Moreover, the Giant Volcano is Loki's territory. If Loki were to notice their intentions, he might send those fire giants to harass them.

So it would be better to use gold to lure Fafnir to come here himself, and decide the location to destroy Fafnir is in the Giant Snowfield.

The ultra-low temperature environment will cool down Fafnir. Even if it doesn't kill him directly, at least it can solve the damn heavy metal poisoning and slime-like stretchability.

The next question is where to get so much gold to lure Fafnir.

This was not a problem at all, and everyone looked at Herbie at the same time.

Although she looks like a little girl wearing a cute bear suit, she is actually the acting president of Hermes' Travel Cap.

[Hermes's Traveling Hat] has demonstrated its amazing financial strength in countless world-class crises and turned the tide. As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem for [Hermes's Traveling Hat].

Now, just moving a mountain of gold out is not something that can be done by just waving your hands or sprinkling water.

Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Herbie smiled calmly, then raised his head and looked at Blaze, who also happened to be looking over.

So, should we say that [Hermes' Traveling Hat] has no money at this time?

You definitely can’t tell me!

Herbie withdrew his gaze and calmly touched Blaze's foot with his foot, signaling Blaze to solve the problem.

Faced with the expectant looks of the strangers and Herbie's urging that was basically stomping on the back of his feet, Blazer had to use his brain.

"In fact, we don't necessarily need to transfer gold from [Hermes's Traveling Hat]. After all, Herbie is only the acting president of [Hermes's Traveling Hat]. If he wants to transfer such a large amount of gold, he will definitely encounter many obstacles. It is impossible to do it in a short time."

The strangers sighed in disappointment; they could understand this explanation.

[Hermes' Traveling Hat] is in business, and conquering Fafnir is not a business, but a way to make [Hermes' Traveling Hat] provide a large amount of gold for free, which may be absorbed by Fafnir.

Even after Fafnir is defeated, the gold may not be spit out.

"But, but we can also find a substitute." Blaze's mind was working quickly, but Herby was even faster than him.

"But there is a lot of gold in this giant snowfield, one mountain of gold after another! Go find the golden giants wearing otter fur, gather them together, and form a mountain of gold that will make the dragon greedy!"

[Emergency Mission: The Golden River Sleeping in the Ice and Snow]

"Oh!!!"

The strangers raised their hands and cheered excitedly. Herby wiped his nose proudly, feeling proud of his ability to deal with crises.

Blaze, whose lines were snatched away, was not angry, because he thought about it again and found that this might not be a good thing.

Blaze put his arm around the proud Herbie's shoulders and turned Herbie around. Luen, who looked quite unhappy, was staring at them, or to be more precise, at Herbie.

It wasn't just Luen, almost all the people in Jinlunjiabei were looking at Hebi, but only Luen showed it very obviously.

"What's wrong with them?" Herbie didn't understand, and Blaze kindly reminded him.

"The otter giant is their patron saint. You just gave orders to the foreigners to capture the otter giant to use as bait to lure Fafnir."

"...You, why didn't you say so earlier!"

"I just realized it too." Blaze dragged Herbie towards Luen, as if he was carrying a naughty child to apologize to a neighbor who had been pranked.

"What are you going to do to the otters Otto? They are the benefactors of the Jinlungabei people to this day!" Luen asked in a low voice.

"This……"

Hebi was always flexible with her words, and she didn't know what to say to Luen. She could deal with Luen by saying something wonderful, but she decided to be responsible for the people of Jinlungabei for a long time and seriously.

"Can you tell me what exactly the otter giant did for you?"

"Provide us food and..." Luen stroked the fur on her body and said softly, "When we were born, the first warmth, whether it was me or my mother before, we would cut the fur of the otter Otter to wrap the children of the Jinlunga people by the river."

"We survived because of the warmth from the otter fur."

"What I'm going to say next may sound a little harsh, but I'm still going to tell you." Herbie crossed his arms, with an unsatisfactory indifference on his little face.

"I will give you food and beautiful clothes. In the future, there will also be a very professional team to deliver babies for the people of Kinlunga North."

"I'll do better than Otter the Otter."

Luen looked angry, but she didn't know what to say. Herbie was telling her reality, and only part of it.

As long as Fafnir and Loki are not eliminated, the people of Jinlungar will be in danger and trapped in the black fog and cold.

And Herbie...can indeed do better than Otter the Otter.

Using gold wrapped in Otter the Otter to lure Fafnir seems to be the best method.

"Otter the otter is an important family member of the Kinlungabei people, even though he is just a dumb piece of fur."

"I know." Hebie didn't say anything more. She turned and left as if everything had been decided. She was quite good at being a bad guy.

She was actually happy for Luen's feelings for Otter Ot. Otter Ot was a wild vegetable soup that the people of Jinlungabei ate in this corner of black fog and snow. It was not so delicious and not so warm, but it sustained their lives.

Even though the people of Jinlungabei have left their corner and seen warmer and more beautiful places, they still miss that pot of wild vegetable soup.

Chapter 1054: The Ghost Ship Attacks

Herbie wanted to be the bad guy without any human touch, so Blaze had to play the soft side of Herbie and appease the people of Kinlunga North.

"Don't worry, we won't use all the Otter Titans as bait. A LV120 Otter Titan is worth a fortune, and we won't let Fafnir harm the Otter Titans to become stronger."

Blaze knew what the people of Jinlungabei were worried about.

Although Otter is called the guardian god by the Jinlunga people, it is actually a ghost. It has a very strong obsession with the gold it is wrapped in. The existence of the ghost depends entirely on obsession. Once it loses the gold it is wrapped in and its obsession, Otter will dissipate.

The people of Jinlungabei probably thought that the foreigners intended to skin the otters and steal the gold inside.

The Jinlunjiabei people kept rubbing their animal skin clothes with their hands.

That same otter fur was what every mother in the Kinlunga North had dressed their children in when they were born and had worn them ever since.

But these otter furs have lost their ability to extend infinitely, and are like dead objects. This is probably the fate of otter furs after losing gold.

Therefore, the otter fur named Otter has a special meaning to the people of Jinlungabei.

It took Blaze a lot of persuasion to convince the people of Jinlunga North that foreigners would not use such violent means.

Only Luen still looked unnatural.

After Blaze asked, Luen told the truth. The matter of Otter Otto had been decided, but her matter had just begun.

The biggest enemy is always Loki, and Fafnir is just a chess piece manipulated by Loki. She has already unconsciously extended an invitation to Loki and may become Loki's vessel at any time.

"I'm thinking……"

"Don't think so."

Blaze interrupted what Luen was about to say. He saw reluctance and determination in Luen's eyes. She would not let her body be taken away by Loki to do anything to hurt her child, so she planned to die if necessary.

And she said it out loud because she intended to ask someone who knew about it to take action when she was unable to understand herself.

"I wouldn't do that either."

"Then I can ask others for help." Luen's attitude became tougher, but there was some pleading in her eyes.

"..."

"So you agreed." Herbie held his chin and tilted his head to look at Blaze who reported truthfully.

"What if she really goes to ask someone else? So I had to pretend to agree." Blaze spread his hands helplessly.

"Stupid! You've been fooled by this bad woman! It looks like she will ask other people for help, but in fact, she can only ask you for help."

"She is only eight years old."

"It has nothing to do with age." Herbie didn't intend to delve into this issue. After all, if he taught Blaze, it would be meaningless in the future.

"Rather than these problems, we should look to the future. For example, the ghost ship mentioned by the stranger, I don't think it has nothing to do with Loki. Loki is also a ghost, maybe he is on that ship."

"Ghost ship..." Blaze pondered for a while. In fact, he had never seen a ghost ship. He only heard that it was a kind of troublesome group monster that would absorb the souls of the dead within a certain range.

The dead will become crew members of the ghost ship, and the souls of the blessed will not return to a ship, but will still turn into experience points to enhance the power of the ghost ship.

Blaze and Herbie were silent, they guessed what might be on the ghost ship.

The boats would always be parked at the port, ready to sail out to sea or into the river, and there was only one river, the Kinlunga Chasm. That was also where the Kinlunga North people were drawn to the fire and melted into the river.
