Chapter 27 Iceland’s Time Bomb

It's not really that difficult to find a magic pastry chef. After all, Bingquan is just an ordinary player, and he seems to have some problems with his brain. His intelligence is definitely not high anyway. For such super amateurs, even if they can consciously carry out counter-reconnaissance processing, they should not be too rigorous, so as long as they investigate carefully, it is actually very easy to find the magic pastry chef.

"How do you plan to find the magic pastry chef?" The beautiful lady came over and asked.

"I don't know the specifics. Anyway, it's just those conventional methods. You can only know if they are effective by trying them first."

"Then can I follow you and take a look?"

"Of course, even if I find the pastry chef, I have no intention of hiding him. At most, I will fight for first-level agency rights." The reason why I didn't think like that Bing Fist was that this would completely monopolize the pastry chef's output. , it’s not that I don’t want it, but I’m not sure I can do it. I have never met the magic dessert chef in Reykjavik until now. Apart from the magic dessert part, I know almost nothing about him, so I don’t know if I can convince him. People cooperate with me. After all, he is an independent individual. Although my eloquence is okay, I am not arrogant enough to think that I have some bastard spirit and that others will bow to me when they see me. Therefore, even if I find the other party, the other party may not cooperate with me, so it doesn't matter if someone follows me. The candies made by the magic pastry chef always have to be sold. It would be best if he can cooperate with me. If not, he will have to find someone else to sell them. When the time comes, it will be the same if I buy them from other hands. It’s a big deal to spend more money and dilute it. That's the profit. It's unlikely to return empty-handed anyway.

Just because I thought that the Magic Pastry Chef might refuse to cooperate with us directly, I did not refuse others to follow me. This can be regarded as buying insurance beforehand. Anyway, if the pastry chef really wants to cooperate with me, it doesn't matter if these people come with me. But if others don't cooperate with me, I will bring these people over. They have taken advantage of me to some extent, and they probably won’t refuse if we talk about cooperation.

There was a beautiful woman taking the lead, and other players also asked if they could follow her to search for her. Of course, I accepted everyone who came. Even the people who had been brought by Bing Fist had completely ignored Bing Fist's existence and turned to my side. After all, it can be seen from Bingquan's previous behavior that this is not an easy person to get along with. Before, everyone had to cater to him because of the magic candy. Now that there is hope to get rid of him, fools become his little brother. However, after these people took refuge, I suddenly discovered that Bing Fist's younger brother was killed by me once before at the beach. Later, the guy who brought Bing Fist here to cause trouble actually ran away at some point. I had forgotten about him before and hadn't paid attention to him. When I remembered, this kid had actually slipped away. However, this kind of person can't achieve great things anyway. I'm too lazy to chase.

After asking everyone around to quiet down and step aside, I first summoned Bai Lang, then asked him to smell the guy's body a few times to remember the scent of this ice fist, and then Bai Lang led the way into Reykjavik. Along the way, I did not directly follow the scent, but I released ghost bugs to mark all the areas I passed along the way. Finally, I released a group of unicorn warriors at intervals and started to follow the ghost bug marks to find nearby shops. And the NPCs on the street outside asked for various information about ice boxing.

Such a large-scale investigation simply cannot be completed by one or two people. A large number of experienced manpower must be divided into tasks. This is why the police often investigate cases faster than ordinary organizations. The main reason is that there are many police officers. Moreover, there is a complete division of labor system that can condense and summarize a large amount of miscellaneous information. In the end, when the information is almost filtered, a slightly smarter person will naturally know the ins and outs of the case as long as they look through the information. However, no matter how smart you are as an ordinary person, You are still a human being, and the vast amount of information alone can overwhelm you. No matter how smart you are, you can't filter out the appropriate information one by one.

There are many players in Reykjavik. After knowing that Bing Fist is not the real magic pastry chef, there is naturally no shortage of news about some smart people who left to look for the magic pastry chef. But these people either work alone, or they have few people and don't cooperate closely enough. It is difficult to find a professional team like my Qilin Warriors among players, not to mention that Iceland is not a place with many individuals, so it is even more difficult for such a team to appear. Guild organization.

Although these people started searching first, their speed was far beyond our rival. Soon I marked all the areas where Ice Fist had been active in Reykjavik, and then sent out a large number of Qilin Warriors to repel little by little. In the end, it took a whole day, and by the early morning of the next day It was time to finally gather all the information. However, at this time, the number of people who are following me hoping to use my power to find the magic pastry chef has been reduced by more than half. After all, I don’t need to sleep and I don’t feel tired because I am a dragon, and ordinary players are normal humans. , after the fatigue level rises to the alert level, the system will kick them out even if they don't want to go offline. Therefore, those who are still online at this time either came after learning the news later, or they are smarter and know that I won't do it in such a short time. You can find the target, so smart people who have taken a break before going offline.

Anyway, there were a lot less people here, so it seemed a lot cleaner, but when the Kirin warriors came back, it immediately became lively. Many Kirin warriors do not directly report to me. They report to the Ring Knights, and the job of the Ring Knights is to analyze, filter and eliminate information. Finally, after all the ring knights listened to the report, they gathered together and compared their information with everyone else. After they discussed for more than an hour, Scott finally left the team and walked towards me. .

"Boss, the news has been compiled."

I nodded and asked, "What did you find?"

Scott took a record and looked at it and said: "Kick out the irrelevant information and wrong information. There is not much information that can be confirmed that may be useful at present. The first is that Ice Fist will enter a nearby volcanic cave every three days. , he would go for half a day every time, and never let anyone go with him, but others had entered to explore when he was not going. It is said that the cave is not deep. There are only some fire monsters used for leveling inside. In addition, it produces a very low-quality mineral, which is an additive for smelting and seems to have nothing to do with food."

"Any more?"

"There are two more. One of them is about a private residence in Reykjavík owned by Ice Fist. Because the private residence sold by the system has a ** agreement, and this guy bought the highest-level limit, so far there is no Anyone has entered his house. Including his younger brother. Moreover, every time the candy store selling magic desserts in the city is replenished, Bing Fist personally moves it out of his private residence, so in this private residence It is likely to have something to do with the magic pastry chef. Even if the magic pastry chef does not live in this house, this house is at least a transit point."

"Isn't there another message? What message is it?"

"The last piece of information is that Bing Fist has a long-term mission to acquire Drunken Dragon Grass in the city, so..."

Scott didn't even finish his words. A player next to him couldn't help but gasped and interjected: "It's true! I thought you guys could find out any information! It turns out that's all. That mission has been pending for several months, and the entire Reykjavik Everyone knows it. The cave and his private residence are not secrets. The whole of Reykjavik knows it. Did you get this little information after a day of investigation? If I had known, I would have investigated it myself. What a waste of my time. Time. Oops..."

Before that guy could finish his words, I slapped him and flew him away. He flew up like a top and spun around in the air for an unknown number of times before landing. Finally, I walked over to him before he could even get up. His feet landed back on the ground. "First of all, you are the ones who want to follow me and listen to the news. I am not begging you to listen, so in addition to listening with your ears, please keep your mouth shut. Second, these are all mine. Subordinate. It’s not yours. Even if I have to teach you a lesson, it’s my business. It’s not your turn to pretend to be a bully here. Third, if you have a low IQ, don’t show up and embarrass yourself. What my subordinates report is very targeted and important. Intelligence, it's your business that you don't understand the key to it. Don't bother me by chattering here. Now, get out of here as far as you want, and show up in front of me again to cause trouble for me. I will let you You know how terrifying the Frost Rose Alliance is, so don’t think that I can’t cure you just because you are hiding in Iceland and far away from the mainland. Wanting you to die is just an idea of ​​mine, and the difference is just whether I am willing to do that. Now you can get out.”

After I let go of my foot on his chest, the guy immediately got up and ran away in a mess. He was confused because of sleepiness before, but now he remembered after I beat him that I was not a passerby to be bullied. He is the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, the world's number one guild. The super player who ranks first in the world's combat power list is really nothing in front of me.

With this dead chicken. The nearby monkeys all became quiet, and even if they were dissatisfied, no one dared to show it anymore. With the clean environment, Scott's reporting work could continue, but there really wasn't much to say. The information has been condensed very much, and the remaining three pieces may sound like household names, but they are actually key information, but many people don't see it.

After thinking about the situation here for a while, I directly summoned Crystal, Plague and Mistress. Of course, since this is Reykjavik, the three of them appear in human form. Otherwise, when the three dragons come out, at least one street here will be destroyed. In addition to the three dragons, I also released Bailang, and the little dragon girl.

"You guys stay in the city, use your noses to help me smell where there is dizzy dragon grass in the city, find all the places where dizzy dragon grass is found, and then mobilize the Qilin warriors to watch those locations. There is no such thing. Problem?"

Xiao Longnu nodded and said: "No problem, it's just a city, we can handle it."

"That's good, I'll leave this to you, but I'll try not to make too much noise before I come back. It's best not to have a fight if possible."

"clear."

After explaining to Little Dragon Girl and the others, I summoned Ye Ying and rode up, and then ran towards the cave where Bing Fist often went based on the information previously reported by Scott. Although the people around me thought that the information I had previously investigated was useless, they all chased me after seeing me running away. However, their mounts were all terrible, and almost none of them could keep up with Ye Ying's speed. Even Ye Ying Ying was just running at a normal speed, not very fast at all, and they were still being pulled further and further away. Finally, when I reached the entrance of the cave, only three people followed me.

"Is this the cave?" I compared the photos that Scott gave me before. The terrain at the entrance of the cave seemed to be the same. It should be the cave that Bing Fist often went to, but many people had been here before. So I'm not sure I'll be able to find any clues.

The three guys who followed closely stopped when they reached the entrance of the cave and saw that I hadn't gone in. They stood aside honestly and didn't bother me. The previous killing of chickens to scare monkeys still played some role. At least these people know how to restrain themselves.

After comparing and confirming the appearance of the cave entrance, I just snapped my fingers and summoned Lucky out. I deliberately didn't summon Lucky in Reykjavik before because I suspected that this was where Bing Fist collected Drunken Dragon Grass.

The intelligence compiled by Scott showed that Bingquan had a long-term mission to acquire Buddleia in Reykjavik, which meant that he had a very large demand for Buddleia, and it was not a temporary need, but a long-term need. Generally speaking, this long-term demand represents a large amount of consumption. When making magic desserts, if something is consumed in large quantities, it means that this thing is probably a basic material, a necessary item that cannot be completed without it. However, it is obviously impossible to meet such a large consumption if we only rely on intermittent payments from the acquisitions. According to the information investigated by Scott, the magic pastry chef's magic desserts should have never been intermittent. What does this mean? This shows that there are other ways to obtain the buddleia that is needed in the magic dessert.

Before that, Bing Fist should have been the only person the Magic Pastry Chef could come into contact with. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be the only one who has magic desserts, while others would have no news at all. This shows that the Magic Pastry Chef's Drunken Dragon Grass must only be obtained from Bing Fist, and Bing Fist has no other way to obtain the Drunken Dragon Grass other than the part of the drunken dragon grass it acquired. Then the only place where he can obtain a large amount of Drunken Dragon Grass is in this cave.

The reason why Buddleia is called Buddleia is because it is a plant that dragons like very much. As long as a giant dragon eats Buddleia, it will be like a human being drinking wine, which will produce certain anesthetic and hallucinogenic effects. . Because this effect is very similar to drunkenness, dragons like this kind of thing very much, just like humans like drinking alcohol. It is precisely for this reason. That’s why Drunken Dragon Grass got its name. Of course, in fact, Drunken Dragon Grass is not only useful to dragons, it is also useful to other creatures. It's just that ordinary people can't eat the dragon grass directly, otherwise they will definitely die of alcohol poisoning like drinking two liters of medical alcohol. However, if you process it a little, extract the juice of the dragon grass and dilute it, and then mix it with some different ingredients. Substances that affect the psychedelic effect but can reduce the toxicity can finally be used as a very good food additive.

Because the extract of Buddleia chinensis is also a relatively famous food additive. Therefore, everyone has no doubts about Bingquan's acquisition of Drunken Dragon Grass. After all, the magic dessert has to be eaten. Therefore, it is normal that it contains buddleia. However, although everyone knows that there is Drunken Dragon Grass in it, no one has thought of starting from here to find the magic pastry chef. It’s not that there are no smart people except me. In fact, there are many people who have thought of this. However, the body of Drunken Dragon Grass has no obvious characteristics, and this Drunken Dragon Grass is also a collection material, which is the most common drop from players. Dropped items are one of the materials recognized by the system that can be put into space equipment. This determines that it is difficult for others to track the magic pastry chef through Drunken Dragon Grass. However, just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it, because there is a dragon by my side.

Since Drunken Dragon Grass is called Drunken Dragon Grass, it is because the dragon clan likes it, and the dragons will not spend money to buy Drunken Dragon Grass. They all find it themselves. Although Buddleia has no obvious characteristics that make it easy to find, Buddleia has a growth characteristic, that is, it is a fire-loving plant, which is a fire-based magic plant. Like most fire-type magic plants, Drunken Dragon Grass usually only grows in places with dense fire elements, and places such as volcanic craters and volcanic caves are undoubtedly the best growing environments.

Knowing this characteristic of Buddleia, it is not difficult to find places where it may exist. In fact, the distribution of Buddleia is also very wide, and the yield is not too low. The difficulty is that the temperature in the places where they are located is very low. It is high, and is often accompanied by fire monsters. This determines that although there are many drunken dragon grasses, collecting them is very problematic. Of course the dragons are not worried. In addition to knowing the growth range of Drunken Dragon Grass, they also have two advantages that the players do not have.

The first is that dragons have very sharp noses. Although Buddleia odorifera has no obvious smell, it is for humans. The noses of dragons are sharper than dogs, as long as they enter a certain range. It's absolutely no problem to smell the approximate location of Drunken Dragon Grass.

Second, the dragons can completely ignore the guardian monsters. As the top existence among Warcraft, as long as the giant dragons know where the Drunken Dragon Grass is, they can just go there and collect it in a swagger, and the slightly lower-level Warcraft will be scared away from afar. Even boss-level ones will choose to ignore what the dragons do. After all, the dragons are too powerful, and the bosses are not stupid. They know that they are not here to cause trouble for them, but they still rush forward. That is because they are full. It's just not fun to find.

Based on the above reasons, it is simply too easy for the dragon clan to obtain the Drunken Dragon Grass, while for ordinary players to obtain the Drunken Dragon Grass, although it is not said to be extremely difficult, it is impossible without paying a price. However, this problem is not a problem for me, because not only do I have dragons around me, but I am also more powerful than the dragons.

Since we are now at the entrance of the cave. Naturally, Lucky's nose will not miss anything. Almost as soon as Lucky came out, he took a sharp breath, and then sighed with enjoyment: "It's really good. The quality of the Drunken Dragon Grass here is surprisingly good."

"Smell it?"

Lucky in human form nodded and said: "There are at least several thousand, and it seems that I smell something else. Wait a minute, I will smell it again." Lucky took another breath after finishing speaking, and then frowned and thought for a long time. Then he suddenly shouted excitedly: "Damn it, I know what it is!"

"What's wrong?"

Lucky exclaimed in ecstasy: "It's the Halloween flame flower! Hahahaha, I'm lucky today!"

"Halloween Fire Flower? What is that? Is it more powerful than Drunken Dragon Grass?"

When Lucky heard what I said, he immediately said: "Drunken dragon grass is nothing, it's just a nice little snack. It's not something that doesn't matter. Just like ordinary wine, it means almost the same to people, except for drunkards. It doesn't matter either." Who can't live without alcohol? But this Halloween flame flower is different. This thing is like opium, but it has no toxic side effects. Instead, it can greatly strengthen the magic induction of magical creatures, and it can also greatly enhance your ability. The magic regeneration speed, magic attack power and magic release success rate, and more importantly, this thing can improve your resistance to mental attacks. Of course. The taste of this thing is also invincible. As long as you taste it once, it is guaranteed to make you happy. Heaven.”

"I heard you tell me that this thing is priceless?"

"It's priceless. Because this is one of the few things that our dragon clan can spend money to buy."

I was also surprised when I heard Lucky's explanation. There is a saying in the Dragon Clan that says this. "A dragon that can use gold coins to buy things must not be a dragon." The meaning of this sentence is very simple, that is, a dragon will not use gold coins to buy things. It is not that they do not know how to trade, but that the dragon does not know how to use gold coins to buy things. gold coins to trade. They don't mind using silver coins and copper plates to buy things, or even barter, but you can never expect a dragon to pay you gold coins, because every dragon is a hardcore gold coin collector. Many giant dragons sometimes would rather die than give up their gold and silver treasures, which is why almost every dragon cave is a treasure pit. The dragon who wants to guard his treasure even if he doesn't care about his life is actually willing to spend gold coins to buy the Halloween Flame Flower. From this you can see how tempting this thing is.

"Why have you never heard of such a good thing?" One of the three players who had been following me finally couldn't help but asked this question. Although he had seen me lecturing people before, he felt that he was just asking and there was nothing rude about it, so there should be no problem. Besides, he really couldn't help it.

Of course I didn't mind what he asked, because I wanted to ask too, but he beat me to it. Lucky probably also knew that I wanted to know the reason, so he answered directly: "Because the Halloween flame flower is too rare. The magical plant like the Halloween flame flower only grows in lava, and the seeds will be carried everywhere along with the underground lava flow. Move, so the place where you can see the Halloween flame flower must be connected to the lava channel. Not to mention how high the temperature is in such a place, the monsters in that dangerous environment are not easy to deal with. We dragons If you are not afraid of lava monsters, you people can't. Moreover, Halloween flame flowers are not like the drunken dragon grass that will appear in patches. As long as the red element is strong enough and the ground nearby is large enough, the drunken dragon grass will even appear in long clumps. The whole cave is full. However, I don’t know if the Halloween flame flowers have the effect of suppressing each other. Every time I find only one, I have never seen two growing together. Moreover, this Halloween flame flower also has a The more troublesome problem is that it will continue to absorb fire elements and heat energy during the growth process. Therefore, if the nearby lava veins are not strong enough, the lava will often cool and harden. In the end, the Halloween flame flower will wither because it cannot absorb the fire element. But if the surrounding fire element is strong enough, it will be more troublesome, because the Halloween flame flower will suppress the fire element when it is there. After all, the excess is absorbed by it, so the volcano will become very calm where there is the Halloween flame flower. , but once you take it off..."

We don’t need to be lucky to finish the rest of the story and we already know what the result will be. The Halloween flame flower is like a water pump, except that it does not pump water but heat and fire elements. If a place is in a state of balance when it is there, it means that once it is not there, the fire element there will immediately Eruptions followed by volcanic eruptions. The giant dragon can bathe in magma, so it is naturally not afraid of volcanic eruptions. Just be careful to run away after picking the Halloween flame flowers to avoid being buried alive. But other races are different. Even if you have a high fire, you will still die if you are hit by the eruption of the crater. Don't forget that the temperature of the crater is not only high, but the impact of the lava eruption is also very terrifying. The volcanic cap explosion that occurred during some volcano eruptions was as powerful as a small atomic bomb. What would have happened if someone had been standing nearby at the time? Firstly, the giant dragon is not afraid of high temperatures. Secondly, its defense is high enough. Thirdly, it is strong. The most important thing is that it can fly, so it can run fast. Ordinary creatures are almost certain to die if they encounter this kind of thing. Because of this situation, even if the Halloween Flame Flower is discovered, ordinary people cannot get it out. A more common method is for people who know where the Halloween Flame Flower is to directly sell the information. Anyone who is interested and has something to do can spend money to buy the information and get it themselves. Anyway, most of the discoverers can get it without any trouble.

"There are Halloween flame flowers and drunken dragon grass inside. Does that mean there will be an exaggerated amount of fire elements here?" I asked as I looked inside the cave.

Lucky nodded and said: "Generally speaking, other fire element plants should not grow where the Halloween Flame Flower grows. After all, the Halloween Flame Flower will absorb a large amount of fire elements and make the surrounding area enter a state of thin fire elements. Such conditions In fact, it is no longer very suitable for the growth of other fire elemental creatures. However, there are actually thousands of drunken dragon grass and Halloween flame flowers growing here, which only shows that there are incredible amounts of fire elementals here. "

Hearing what Lucky said, another player next to him immediately asked nervously: "Then what will happen if the Halloween Flame Flower is taken away?"

Lucky made a blooming gesture with his hands and imitated the sound of an explosion and said: "The result is boom... this area rose to the sky together, and since then there has been a new volcano in Iceland."
