Players’ NPC daddy.

If foreigners often died from falling, stepping into traps, being poisoned, or even accidentally committing suicide by seppuku because they saw the true face of Valkyrie, the situation would definitely become more serious.

Then he would be guilty.

Blaze wrapped a Valkyrie in a large piece of cloth, tied a bow, passed Gungnir through the bow, and then picked up the entire huge package.

As everyone stared at Blaze, dressed as a porter, he knew his genius had worked. To identify a prop, the first thing to do was to focus on it. But with his outfit, everyone's attention was definitely on him carrying the package.

Who would care about a bent wooden pole? Or, who would have thought that the legendary great god, Meteor, and Spear of Eternity would use it as a pole?

If he could take off his armor, Blaze could ensure that he would be just an ordinary passerby.

Marika was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her hands and clapped in admiration.

"Hide the truth and sneak into Chencang."

As it turned out, Blaze's plan went very smoothly. After he returned to the top continent, no strangers noticed the Gungnir on his shoulder, or even the huge package on his back, because the strangers were only staring at him.

Blazer was busy thinking about the appeal of world-class equipment to outsiders, but he forgot that rare professions and rare skills are more popular than world-class equipment that is out of reach and even like a hot potato that will cause countless troubles.

"Teacher Blaze, please teach me the magical skill of [If I say you have a soul, you have a soul]!"

"Blazer! Please tell me about the Gunner's advancement tree!"

"Blazer, let me measure you, werewolf style!"

Blaze did not run away! He chose to face it bravely and fulfilled the requests of all the strangers!

Except for the one who said she was measuring the size, but her hand was touching his lower body!

Blazer chose to stay where he was to deal with the strangers. In addition to his willingness to impart skills and allow the strangers to strengthen their own strength, he also wanted to understand and think about the profession of "Gunner" with the strangers.

Because it would take too long, Blaze simply used the package containing Valkyrie as a chair and sat down, talking seriously to every stranger.

The strangers were quite conscientious and lined up in a long line, a huge crowd, each holding a small sign in their hands. Perhaps they were considering that Blaze couldn't stay here to serve all the time, and when Blaze left, some people would not be able to get what they wanted.

Therefore, the foreigners who obtained [Soul Shock] split into teams, saying that they would only teach those who wanted to learn the skill of [Soul Shock] for free.

But only today.

The strangers immediately separated in an orderly manner, and those who remained in front of Blaze were all heavyweights, almost all of them were strangers who arrived in Extremes.

There is no doubt that they are all top foreigners in recent years, and most of the [Quick Upgrade Route] and [Perfect Land Development] that Blaze knows are almost all passed on from their mouths.

Among the foreigners, these people were respectfully called "Pioneers." They had discovered hundreds of different occupational branches and could be considered the most advanced foreigners.

Although Blaze has the original profession [Sharpshooter], it does not mean that he is clear about the professional branches of [Gunner] and how to discover the branches.

Talking to these strangers will definitely broaden your horizons and help you better understand the power of the [gun].

As expected, the first words of these [Pioneers] opened Blaze's eyes.

"Excuse me, is a cannon considered a gun?"

"This..." Blazer was speechless for a moment. He thought it would start with how to obtain the profession of [Gunner].

"It shouldn't... count, right? After all, it's a cannon, right?"

"Doesn't it count? The principle of causing damage is obviously the same? A gun is obviously just a lightweight cannon? So if I make the gun the size of a cannon, is it still a cannon or a gun?"

It was later confirmed that if you have a [Gunner], a Strength value of over 1200, and a [Gun] or [Cannon] that matches the size and specifications of a [Cannon], you can unlock the profession [Gunner].

A class that can wield its weapon like a bludgeon at close range and deliver firepower at range. In group combat, it possesses extremely high suppressive power, but its fatal weaknesses are the weight of its weapon, slow attack speed, and low accuracy.

Even Blazer shook his head when he learned about this profession. A profession with such huge flaws, even a foreigner couldn't save it.

That's right, even a stranger can't convert the [Bombardier] into a primary damage-dealing class, but a secondary one can. Slow attack speed? Low accuracy? Simply fire your cannon at point-blank range, and only once.

What? This style of play is too difficult? Then cure your fear of insufficient firepower, make your artillery fast and powerful, and achieve true firepower coverage.

In this story, the scary thing is never the [gunman] or the [bombardier], but the existence of the [blacksmith] who silently faces all kinds of willful demands and realizes them.

Chapter 421 Players Just Need Freedom and Fun

[Blacksmith] has always been the profession that players look forward to the most. The reason is simple: it is a profession that can customize and manufacture equipment.

What does customization mean? It means that whether it is [Mickey Mouse Hammer] or [Oxman Lightsaber], it can become a reality.

The original intention of the geniuses in providing the Blacksmith was to allow players to break free from the constraints of the powerful equipment already available in the game and to create their own. They gave players room to unleash their imagination and looked forward to the passionate collision between the weapons created by players and the professions they designed.

But players just want to have some fun, so they make a strict choice between strength and fancy moves, 6 points for strength and 4 points for fancy moves.

Forged from the [Unborn Spirit] as its embryonic form, the scene of the fairytale-level hammer [Mickey Mouse Hammer] blasting monsters with a single blow sent shockwaves through the internet. Players cheered and ordered numerous items, including the Pink Pony Hammer and the Don X Duck Hammer. The armor with a rating of 250 in the middle was one of the more mediocre creations.

The geniuses achieved their goal, even saving themselves the trouble of creating Easter eggs or crossovers, as the players did it for them. The price was a bit high, even bloodshed.

……

Blaze stayed until evening, and most of the strangers were satisfied.

Although the new class, Gunner, is very attractive, most foreigners are not willing to give up their existing and familiar class configurations. They plan to wait and see how the pioneers develop the class before considering whether to try it themselves.

Blaze, whose Hunter was robbed, understood the thoughts of these strangers very well. The career plans of strangers were very rigorous, like steel components that fit together perfectly.

The Gunslinger is just a basic class, and there are undoubtedly more powerful advanced forms. However, these advanced forms often require training the Gunslinger to the maximum level first, and then combining it with other fully trained classes to fuse or sacrifice.

Take the foreigners in Extreme for example. They have to give up at least half of their levels and high-level professions before they can try the possibility of the [Gunner] profession.

After receiving basic intelligence on the "gunman," the strangers left. They wanted to ask for more information, but the line was too long, so they politely said goodbye and left.

What surprised Blaze was the foreigners' immense praise and interest in the skill Soul Shock. Apparently, unbeknownst to Blaze, they had discovered some powerful hidden effects.

This is good news. After all, the skill [Soul Shock] has basically no use after I got it.

Blaze stayed up until night, not only to communicate with the strangers but also to wait for the arrival of the Fairy Kingdom. He had originally planned to send a chicken to deliver the message once he reached the top continent, but the strangers surrounded him the moment he emerged, preventing him from leaving.

He simply sat here, waiting for people from the [Fairy Kingdom] to come to him.

The first to appear was, as expected, Dali Feizhuan. Dali Feizhuan was the person in [Fairy Country] who was most familiar with him, and sometimes the chicken would choose to deliver the letter directly to Dali Feizhuan.

As soon as Flying Brick appeared, Blaze's gaze subconsciously stayed on the strange barrel-shaped weapon hanging on Flying Brick's waist.

Why is it so amazing? Because even without identifying it, Blazer could clearly tell that it was a gun, but this gun was straight, not only had three barrels, but also was irregularly inlaid with sharp teeth.

It looked like a fierce and ruthless baton.

"This is?"

"This? Didn't the upper limit of [Blacksmith] be opened? The [Gunner] profession also appeared, so we tried to restore a gun-like weapon from our world." Dali Feizhuan proudly took off the gun from his waist and handed it to Blaze.

Blaze, who has a direct dwarven lineage—the [Blacksmith/Fire Rabbit], easily identified the information about this weapon.

【Three-Eyed Gun·Sharp Fang】

A mass-produced gun-like weapon forged from fine steel, it possesses three muzzles and possesses a long history. Because its user is no longer a mere ordinary person, the wooden stick that protected it has been removed, resulting in it looking more like a self-detonating earth bomb.

"This thing looks like a bomb."

"...That's not the point." Dali Feizhuan selectively ignored Blaze's question. After coughing hard, he half-forced the [Three-Eyed Gun·Sharp Fang] into Blaze's hand.

"I hope you can use it, or ask Master Hader to help improve it, hehehe——"

This must be the legendary reveal of the true purpose of the powerful brick-flying antagonist: he was seeking a connection with Master Hader. Now that the upper limit for the Blacksmith has been raised, coincidentally coinciding with the release of the Gunner, the profession once considered "unplayable" by foreigners has suddenly become a hot commodity.

Outside the Fire Rabbit Forge, there was a massive crowd, and even a single stranger couldn't squeeze in. This wasn't a joke, nor was it an exaggeration. The cap on Blacksmiths had been lifted, meaning the overall strength of the players had been raised.

But this also means that holders of the blacksmith profession have become a rare resource, and people like Master Had, who can give blacksmiths special titles and even provide promotion channels for the blacksmith profession, are extremely important roles.

Large guilds will definitely want to train their own blacksmiths and create powerful equipment for their members, so they will be particularly active in seizing opportunities.

Some major guilds opted to stake out their positions, while the Fairy Nation chose to brazenly use the backdoor. Of Blaze's many halos, being the heir of Master Hard was the least impressive.

But don't say they are despicable. After all, this game has written in its introduction: "Communicate more with NPCs, manage interpersonal relationships seriously, and there may be unexpected surprises."

"It's not impossible, but if Master Had is unwilling to accept your members, there's nothing I can do." Blaze thought that he would have to work for the Fairy Kingdom for free to repair Asgard, so helping to persuade Had would be considered a way of repaying the favor.

"Thank you so much! We have so many things we want to make, and we need them urgently!"

"Urgent?" Blazer was stunned. He rarely saw Dali Feizhuan look anxious.

If the [Fairy Kingdom] is one of the strongest guilds, in this top world, except for world monsters like the Titans and evil gods, there is nothing that can make them anxious.

"This copper coin." Dali Feizhuan looked around and made sure no one was around. He took out the copper coin and said quietly, "It can't be used anymore."

Chapter 422 The Great Stillbirth

【???copper???】

This is the product of the copper coin that appears in Blaze's pocket every day, combined with something the Black Beast Knight possesses. Because only three of them appear in the pocket every day, and the [Fairy Kingdom] needs this copper coin to challenge a monster behind the River of Death.

At that time, Blaze obtained an extremely important piece of information, that is, this copper coin can bribe the ferryman of the River of Death, allowing the living to set foot in the world of the River of Death.

After visiting Helheim, Blaze learned that in the ancient age of the gods, several hells existed simultaneously, housing the humans created by different groups of gods. The elves also said that the Golden Kingdom was once known as Heaven, but now, after falling into the depths of the earth, it is called Hell.

Blaze has been searching for the Golden Kingdom, and all the information he has now points to one thing, that is, the Golden Kingdom is on the other side of the River of Death in the [Fairy Kingdom].

Whether it is really there is still unknown, but it is worth going to take a look.

And Blaze cares a lot about the last words left by Black Beast Knight after he defeated Mist.

【Golden Country Under Stillbirth】

So Blaze would keep three copper coins somewhere every day.

It used to be in Herbie or Audrey's pocket, and lately it's been in a chicken's stomach.

In recent times, Blaze has saved up 30 copper coins. Adding them to his previous savings... it's enough for at least 50 people to go together and beat up the monster that is said to be extremely difficult to deal with in the Fairy Kingdom.

But now you say it’s useless?

"This is not good news."

"It's not that it's completely useless, but the ferryman is only willing to take three people across." Dali Feizhuan crossed his arms and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. "It's just asking him to make more than 200 trips, it's not like he's not paying. We even offered him a bigger boat, but he insisted on not taking it."

"Three people? That number is unsettling." Blaze narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers together in an orderly fashion. "Can I ask you a strange question?"

"Are there any places you're going to attack that have anything to do with the word 'stillbirth'?"

Dali Feizhuan's expression changed, and this reaction made Blaze understand and confirm it.

"Let's change places."

Dali Feizhuan nodded, and the most suitable place to discuss this matter was naturally the headquarters of the [Fairy Kingdom].

In the second guild war, the [Fairy Alliance] took the lead as expected, and the reward they asked for was something called a customized emoticon package that only outsiders could see.

It is said that in the world of strangers, they use a magical prop that can display text from a distance, and [emojis] are one of the more special visual languages.

Li Da Feizhuan brought Blaze to the conference room, a place Blaze was familiar with. However, this place was usually used when large-scale battles took place.

Normally, all participants would be notified in advance to assemble. Without notification, the conference room would be empty. However, Blaze, carrying a large package, still attracted many people's attention.

"This is a hidden boss we found in ancient times."

Dali Feizhuan took out a bundle of parchment scrolls and placed them on the conference table. Then he pushed hard and an ancient map unfolded on the table.

"Many places in this world had different names in different eras, but they were lost with the passage of time. But the stories hidden within them are like the world's wounds. The surface has been healed by time, but the beings in these stories remain like scars."

"This map was drawn by one of our team members based on a story passed down orally from an elder for dozens of generations."

Blaze leaned over and examined the map carefully. The lines were crude, but they roughly depicted the area surrounding the ancient Giant Kingdom Alliance, which should now be the Cilicia region, a dangerous and ungoverned area.

The most dangerous place in Cilicia was undoubtedly the last of the Hundred-Fetus Rivers on the Top Continent. Unlike the other Hundred-Fetus Rivers that sprawled and bred terrifying Titan hybrids, this Hundred-Fetus River flowed quietly before disappearing somewhere in Cilicia.

Blaze glanced at Chicken, who shook his head.

The monster in the [Fairy Kingdom] strategy is not one of the twelve beast kings, just like Chiron has not yet been born, and the Hundred Births Ganges is not necessarily related to the twelve beast kings.

But Blaze remembered another thing, which was his first meeting with the spirit of the Tree of Life.

At that time, the Tree of Life had said that the reason it couldn't open the Golden Sea of ​​Trees was because it couldn't allow the Hundred Fetuses River to invade the Golden Sea of ​​Trees. The Hundred Fetuses River had appeared a year ago, but had only recently closed off the Golden Sea of ​​Trees.

The reason behind this is that a certain great being, feeling threatened, began to call upon the blood of the evil god, causing the Ganges to boil.

At first, Blaze thought it was a Nemean giant, a guy with ability and ambition, but in fact, it only woke up after he used the [Hunter] to dig out all its information.

So that great existence is someone else.

Now it seems that this is most likely the enemy that the [Fairy Kingdom] is attacking.

"We learned that there was a place called Gaia's Pelvis in the Cilicia region. We happened to be looking for Gaia's Pelvis out of boredom while the grass was growing, and guess how we found it."

Dali Feizhuan took out a red charcoal pencil, pressed it on the ancient sheepskin map and slid it slowly. A dark red line weaved crookedly through the mountains and forests, and finally stopped at a position.

"In our world, Gaia is a goddess. She gave birth to many gods and giants, and even guided the birth of human beings. Her last son was a boy named..." Dali Feizhuan lowered his voice, as if he was talking about some taboo, and the empty conference room fell into a kind of turbidity.
