Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Brook used the teleportation ring to fly to the entrance of the Serpent Valley and saw Bayin waiting at the entrance with 5 babies. There were also 4 archers guarding the entrance. They would only attack the red-named criminals and would not harm the babies.

"Sure, I'll be there in a minute," Bayin said. She had thought the teleportation ring would fly randomly like a mage's instant teleportation skill, so she would have to wait a long time.

"It's okay, but it's the first time and we need to determine the landing point, which takes some time. Let's go in first, and I'll tell you on the way." Brooke said.

The two entered the Valley of Vipers.

"Then I'll use Random and see who gets there first," Bayin said playfully, then used Random to fly away. She was born in Viper Valley Village and was more familiar with the terrain, while Brooke still needed to experiment with the coordinates, so it was uncertain who would reach the entrance to Biqi first.

While not as vast as Mengzhong, the Serpent Valley is still quite large. The valley is lush with trees and mountains. There are no large towns, only a single valley village. The most common monsters in the valley are red snakes with an attack power of 7-12 and tiger snakes with an attack power of 10-11, each with around 50 HP. There are also a small number of orcs, poisonous spiders, and the occasional man-eating plant that emerges from the ground. This area is very rich in monsters, making it a perfect place for leveling for cultivators around level 10.

Brooke used the map of Serpent Valley to try to locate the coordinates of its entrances and exits. He used his teleportation ring to constantly fly and run around the valley, using the surrounding terrain to determine his location. After several minutes, he finally determined the coordinates of both the entrance to Biqi and the entrance to Mengzhong.

Brook flew to the entrance of Biqi again, but Bayin had not arrived yet.

"I'm at the entrance to Biqi. Should we go to Valley Village?" Brooke asked. Bayin is from Valley Village.

"Let's talk about it after the mission is completed. Let's go to Bichi first. I estimate it will take another 5 minutes." Bayin has arrived near the entrance of the Viper Valley Village, very close to the entrance of Bichi.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Brook brought up the teleportation ring with the team. When he mentioned the unique spell for teleportation and the coordinates that determined the location, Bayin was amazed, constantly marveling at how Brook had even managed to figure it out.

"Then when we go to the Stone Tomb to level up next time, the task of selling equipment and buying medicine will be left to you." Bayin said finally.

"No problem. But we still need to confirm the coordinates of the stone tomb." Thinking about the fact that the stone tomb has 7 floors and there is a stone tomb array, and so many maps need to be used to confirm the coordinates of the entrances and exits, Brook felt helpless.

Brooke then mentioned the location of the Bicchi Orc Tomb. If all went well, they might be able to find Old Man Liu before 5:. However, for now, they only knew that Old Man Liu was in the Orc Tomb, but their exact location was unknown. Brooke and Bayin decided to go to Bicchi City first to inquire.

Soon Bayin arrived at the entrance, and the two met up and entered Bichi together.

Biqi Province is vast, second only to Mengzhong in size. According to the map drawn by Situ Haoyun, the two were currently northeast of Biqi. The Orc Tomb, on the other hand, was northwest of Biqi City. To reach the Tomb, they had to pass through Biqi City. From their current location, running all the way to Biqi City would take an estimated hour. They decided to use a random scroll to save time.

"I'm here." Bayin happened to fly into the city of Bichi, and this time she was the first to arrive.

"You go take a walk first. I'll be in a bit. See you at the Bic City Square." Brooke used his teleportation ring to fly to the south gate. The city was crowded, so he decided to change his teleportation ring and run inside.

The monsters of Biqi Province are relatively low-level, the resources are abundant, the environment is beautiful, and the seasons are like spring. The king of Marfa Continent resides here, and Biqi City is effectively an imperial city. Brook ran along Biqi City's moat and came upon a broad marble arch bridge. At each end of the bridge stood two lighthouses, each more than two meters tall, each capped with a large blue magic gem, emitting a gentle azure light. Four dragon heads adorned the bridge, each spouting a gurgling stream of water. Beneath the bridge lay the moat, its surface clear, emerald green, and shimmering.

Across the bridge is the Biqi Imperial City, which is surrounded by towering walls. Between the walls and the moat lies a broad moat path, lined with pines, cypresses, and willows, creating a vibrant, elegant, and majestic atmosphere.

Ahead was the southern gate of Biqi. Seeing two knife-wielding guards standing guard at the gate, Brook immediately told Xiaobai to rest and wait. These knife-wielding guards weren't just targeting red-named enemies; they would even kill monsters and the pets of monks.

Brook passed through the deep city gate and finally entered the city. He summoned Xiaobai back and had it follow him. After walking a few steps, he saw an open-air stall to his right. The grocery store owner stood beside him, looking worried. After some thought, Brook decided to go up there and give it a try. Perhaps he could find out the exact location of Old Man Liu in the Orc Tomb.

"Dear grocery store owner, hello." Brooke went up to greet him.

"Hello, respected Brother Mafa. Do you need to buy anything?" asked the grocery store owner.

"Buy three amulets. I see you seem to be in trouble, do you need help?" Brook asked.

"Well, to be honest, business hasn't been very good recently." The grocery store owner sighed.

"Is it because it's so remote?" Brook couldn't help but ask. With a large population, Beech City should be bustling with business. The grocery store owner had opened his shop near the south city gate, and he was the only merchant around, which was why Brook asked this question.

"No." The grocery store owner slowly explained the reason.

It turns out the grocery store's poor business stems primarily from a limited product range. They used to sell amulets, candles, torches, and scrolls of teleportation, as well as buying and selling poisons used by Taoist priests and repair oils for weapons. However, the stall currently only offers amulets, candles, and torches, and this limited assortment has led to poor business. For unknown reasons, sales of candles and torches have also been declining for a few days, further compounding the problem. This has left the grocery store owner deeply anxious.

"Dear grocery store owner, can you sell teleportation scrolls here?" Brook asked.

"Yes. Random teleportation scrolls, dungeon teleportation scrolls, these teleportation scrolls can only be sold in our grocery store. However, the master who is good at making space teleportation scrolls is out recently, resulting in a shortage of teleportation scrolls." The grocery store owner replied.

It turns out that these teleportation scrolls can be produced and sold in large quantities.

"Excuse me, which master can make a teleportation scroll? I came from Mengzhongtu City. The grocer there doesn't sell teleportation scrolls." Brook was very curious and wondered who could make it.

"Oh? Mengzhong doesn't have a scroll either? That's strange. Could it be that the veterans of Mengzhong are missing too?" the grocery store owner asked back.

"Mengzhong veteran? Where is he? I have never seen him." Brook asked.

"Mengzhong Veteran should be in the square of Mengzhong Tucheng. If you haven't seen him, it seems he's out like Veteran Biqi. It's been days, and there's no telling when he'll be back." Seeing Brook still looking puzzled, the grocery store owner explained, "Every major city has a Veteran. They're proficient in teleportation magic and can set up teleportation arrays to help monks teleport to different cities. For example, Biqi can be teleported to Bairimen by Veteran Biqi, and Tucheng can be teleported to Cangyue Island by Veteran Mengzhong."

"No wonder I didn't know how to get to Cang Yue Island. Thanks for telling me, boss." Brook suddenly realized it and bowed to the grocery store owner in thanks. He muttered to himself, "Before, we got random and city return scrolls by killing bats spit out by horn flies. I didn't expect to be able to buy them."

"Wait, you just said that the bats spit out by horn flies can drop random teleportation scrolls?" the grocery store owner asked in surprise.

"That's right. Since there are no teleportation scrolls, we will go to the stone tomb in Tucheng to look for horn flies. The bats spit out by horn flies have a chance to drop random teleportation scrolls, as well as dungeon escape scrolls and return to city scrolls." Brook saw that the grocery store owner's eyes were wide open, not knowing what went wrong.

"This isn't right! Bats can indeed drop scrolls, but they can only drop scrolls of returning to town. Random and dungeon scrolls won't drop them! What's going on?" The grocery store owner shook his head slightly, staring blankly into the distance, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, the grocery store owner clapped his hands and said, "I got it! Regardless of what happened to the monsters, since the bats can explode all the teleportation scrolls, I have an idea." The grocery store owner looked at Brook with a burning gaze, and then looked at the mutant skeleton baby behind Brook: "Respected Brother Marfa, do you know any higher-level mages?"

"The level is relatively high, so what level is it?" Brook asked.

"Above level 30. As far as I know, a wizard can only summon horn flies at level 30." The grocery store owner replied.

"I have a friend who is a level 27 mage. Her level is already very high among the monks of this generation. Boss, what do you want the mage to do with the horn flies?" Brooke was still puzzled.

"Level 27... Well, considering the time, this class's level 27 is pretty high." The grocer continued, "My idea is to have a level 30 mage summon horn flies, then bring them to the city and let us handle them. We can use the bats they spit out to produce scrolls, and that'll solve the problem of having no scrolls to sell."

"Well...can you deal with bats?" Brook asked doubtfully. The grocery store owner looked like just an ordinary businessman.

"Hehe, I don't need to deal with it. I can ask official Bi Qi for help, explain the situation, and ask them to send the Marfa guards to kill the bat; or I can find Director Huang of Feitian Martial Arts School. He has many disciples who train every day. This bat is also good for training. At that time, the scroll will belong to our grocery store, and the other items will belong to them. This way, we have the best of both worlds!" The grocery store owner said excitedly.

This idea seems good, but the problem is that Bayin is only level 27 now.

"We still don't know when Veteran Bitch will come back. The only way right now is to ask your mage friend to quickly reach level 30. So, respected monk, if you can summon horn flies for our grocery store as soon as possible, I will give your mage friend a generous reward. Of course, if you provide important information, I will also reward you." The grocery store owner issued a task.

"Dear grocery store owner, I will notify my mage friend promptly. I believe she will reach level 30 as soon as possible and complete your quest," Brooke said. Then, after a moment's thought, he asked, "Actually, I came to Biqi this time to find Old Man Liu from the Orc Tomb. Have you heard of him?"

"You are talking about the old man Liu who drinks all day long. I know him. He is on the second floor of the Orc Tomb. There is a shop on the second floor. The old man is near the shop, and there is a warehouse manager next to him." The grocery store owner replied.

"Thanks for letting me know."

After Brooke learned Old Man Liu's exact location, he bid farewell to the grocery store owner and continued on his way. The roads within Biqi City were very wide. Besides the magical beacons illuminating the streets, there were also archers stationed at regular intervals to prevent red-named criminals from sneaking into the city. After walking for a while, they gradually approached the city center. There were more and more shops on both sides, and more and more alien warriors came and went.

"Selling Ebony Sword for 1 Gold Coins"

"Prayer Helmet for sale, only one available, 1 gold coins."

"Looking for the best sea soul, requiring 1-3 magic points or more"

"For sale: a top-quality cast iron ring with magic 0-2, which can be exchanged for Taoist equipment."

"Looking to buy a magic helmet or bronze helmet with magic"

"Looking for a high-precision bracelet that can be worn at level 11"

"For sale: a top-quality lantern necklace with +1 luck and +1 magic."

"Haha, look at my weapon, it's from a Skeleton Elf that just exploded. I'm rich~"

"Attack Bahuang at 4-15! Third brother, awesome!"

"Brother and sister, please give me some money to buy medicine~"

......

The square in the heart of Biqi City was bustling with activity, even though it was still early in the morning. The alien warriors here were generally of relatively low level, most wearing light armor, some even cloth. Only a few wore level 22 professional uniforms, standing out like a crane among chickens.

"I have found out the location of Old Man Liu. He is in the central square now. Where are you?" Brook contacted Bayin in the team. He saw Bayin's five evil maggot babies, but did not see her.

"I'm at the Feitian Martial Arts Gym in the southeast corner of Biqi City. There's a guy here named Huang Feilong who keeps praising my talent and asking if I'd like to apply to be a Marfa Guardian. There are also a few practitioners here who can be used to practice skills. I just tried it out. I used a skill on a practitioner and they reported the damage value of the attack, and even calculated the average damage of multiple attacks." Bayin was strolling around when she came across the martial arts gym. She just wanted to test the damage output of equipping the wand with +6 luck.

"Okay. But you'd better get back soon. One of your maggot babies is being hacked by a knife-wielding guard. Oh, it's already been hacked to death with two strikes. Even giving it collective invisibility won't help." Brook spotted a small bridge in the upper right corner of the central square. Two knife-wielding guards stood on either side of the bridge, their attack range covering just a small half of the central square. Bayin's baby was resting there, but was squeezed by the passing crowd and was eventually pushed forward. One of the babies was discovered by the knife-wielding guard and was killed with two strikes without a word.

Bayin quickly used her City Portal to fly to Biqi Square. Seeing the corpse of the evil maggot baby, she was speechless. She walked to the lower left, telling the remaining four babies to follow her, away from the knife-wielding guards. She complained, "Even the square isn't safe anymore. They've got two guards standing around for no reason. Really? Earth City is still better..."

"Forget it. If we go to the Orc Tomb, the monsters there are relatively weak, and bringing four evil maggot babies is enough. It's almost 4:4 now, so if we hurry, maybe we can see Old Man Liu before 5 o'clock." Brook said.

"Okay. I'll just teleport over there." Brook had already given him the rough location of the orc tomb on the way. Bayin had already been to Biqi, and in Biqi's large map, he could use teleportation without using random scrolls.

"Okay, you go first. I'll find a place with fewer people to teleport to." Brook said.

The two of them acted separately. Bayin kept using instant movement in the province of Bichi until he saw a row of mountains in the northwest. Then he searched along the foot of the mountain and found the orc tomb.

Brook used the teleportation ring and after trying the coordinates more than a dozen times, he arrived at the entrance of the orc tomb.
