"Although this is not the first time we have done this kind of level five mission, it should be different this time."
After the food was served, the lights gradually turned on, and in the living room, which gradually became lively, the sound of colorful spiritual light mission introductions began to sound on the table. As an old man in the team, Qingtian was still as attentive as Duan Qing.
Listening to his captain's explanation, only the red girl, who had always been very energetic, lay on her seat and ate the food in front of her unconsciously, as if the whole world could not stop her.
"We have been a team that has been working together for a long time in the past, and those missions were accompanied by experts, so it was relatively easy." Looking at the girl helplessly, Qicai Lingguang cleared his throat, and then continued his introduction: "I'm afraid this mission
There is no such treatment, and... we don't have the right staff."
"If that doesn't work, just call a savage."
"Can savages be relied on?" A sad look appeared on Qingtian's face: "What if it gets dark?"
"With four of us and one of us, we shouldn't be able to do much harm." Qicai Lingguang glanced at Duan Qing. After the latter bowed his head and said that he was a good young man who would not cheat his father, he continued: "And...
…We can’t wait any longer.”
"If everything on the mission is true, it should be completed in the next few days..."
"I..." Duan Qing finally asked: "You'd better focus on the content of the mission first. I've been wondering about it for a long time."
"This is a spy mission." Qicai Lingguang did not answer immediately, but took out a scroll carefully tied with thin thread from his arms, and then slowly unfolded it in front of Duan Qing: "Appear on the front line of the empire.
We have built a camp with a different style. After our preliminary judgment, this camp may contain major secrets that the empire is studying. We cannot sit still and wait for death! In the name of the principality, if there are adventurers who can go deep into the enemy camp and find out what is going on in this place.
For the conspiracy brewing, we will give generous rewards!"
"——General Dusk, Commander-in-Chief of Fars Fortress." Qicai Lingguang finished reading the above words, then rolled up the parchment page and continued: "The date is the 6th of the Fire Moon."
"Well, it's true... it's been a while." Duan Qing thought, "If you include the time difference between the principality's appearance..."
"This thing in the empire has been built for a long time. If we don't take action, then... the consequences may not be as simple as mission failure."
In the deep voice of Qicai Lingguang, Duan Qing looked at Qian Zhihe who was still feasting, and then asked again: "What will happen if the mission here fails?"
"It is certain that you will lose your reputation. The specific consequences will depend on the extent of your failure." Qingtian on the side explained: "If you accept the task but do nothing, the final consequences may be serious; if
If you risked your life and blood for this mission, even if you fail, the principality will still thank you and even compensate you."
"This can be regarded as a disguised form of encouragement." He smiled and then concluded.
"Is the mission unique?" Duan Qing immediately asked the next professional question: "Will there be other teams traveling with us? If we complete it together, how will the final reward be calculated?"
"It may be equally divided, or it may be exclusive. The specific situation depends on the content of the task and... the coordination ability between players." Qicai Lingguang said: "For these things, our people have fought a lot.
Fight...but we shouldn’t have to consider this issue this time.”
"Why?"
"During my investigation, I also noticed whether anyone wanted to take this task, but the result was...no." Qicai Lingguang said with a wry smile: "Maybe it's because this task is too difficult..."
"After all, we have to hit it from Line F."
"Line F?" Qingtian asked in surprise: "The one at the foot of Falon Hill?"
"That's the one." Qicai Lingguang nodded: "Go in through that line and walk to the end. You can probably reach the place mentioned in the mission."
"Do we still have to go to the end?" Before Duan Qing could ask, Qingtian on the side exclaimed again: "Is anyone going to pass that line?"
"Time is still short, this kind of method is useless." Qicai Lingguang waved his hand: "How will you know if it doesn't work if you don't try it?"
Qingtian looked at his captain for a long time, then sat back in his seat: "...Okay, you have the final say."
"Um...can anyone explain..."
"It's okay, you just need to know... this dungeon is very difficult." Qicai Lingguang raised his hand and said: "Do you have the confidence to go to the Green Mountain on the road?"
"Are you afraid of scaring me away..." After muttering to himself, Duan Qing had no choice but to say again: "No problem."
"That's good, let's move on to tomorrow's... uh..." Qicai Lingguang nodded with satisfaction, and was about to continue explaining tomorrow's plan, but suddenly remembered something: "Qianzhihe, do you have any questions?
?”
The red girl who had never stopped looked up when she heard the sound, looking at the other person with innocent and confused eyes: "Ah? Wo..."
"Wo Wei has a question!"
She answered righteously, holding a large piece of barbecue in her mouth.
"well……"
Duan Qing couldn't help but laugh low as he looked at the colorful aura sighing because the girl lowered her head again to continue her turmoil.
The midday sun is still powerful at this time of March. Whether they are going out or returning, almost all the people passing by are sweating. The soldiers of the principality stationed next to the fortress gate are also overwhelmed by the last minute of summer.
The heat was so scorching that they could not lift their heads. Some drooped their helmets, while others tried their best to retreat into the shadow of the city wall, as if the scorching sun above them was a bigger enemy than the empire. This phenomenon, even in the west
The direction facing the empire's front line was the same. Some soldiers had nothing to do, and even sneaked into the pavilion built by the players themselves, and then looked at the compatriots who were standing guard on the city wall with idiotic eyes.
"Does that person not care?"
"You should leave it alone, since the empire hasn't come over anyway."
Walking to the west gate, Duan Qing looked at the NPC who looked like a commander sitting in the rocking chair under the city gate with a helmet covering his face with some confusion, and asked with some doubts. At this time, they were about to go out to do something.
That mission, and according to Qicai Lingguang's explanation, the reason why they had to do it at this time was mainly because people's spirits would be a little worse in the afternoon.
"This is not the first time we have seen the urinary behavior of the soldiers here in the principality." Qingtian on the other side explained: "It's better to be lazy. If there are real combatants, you may see even more...wonderful phenomena.
."
"Well, I understand." Duan Qing nodded, and then, under the leadership of Qicai Lingguang as the captain, he walked to the sleeping man who covered his face with a helmet.
"Captain Slanke, we are going out to complete the mission."
In the bow of the colorful aura, the man lying on the rocking chair made of vines slowly took off his helmet: "If you don't go early, you won't go later. It has to be at this time..."
Reluctantly getting up, the man known as Captain Silenko swayed and led a group of them to the fortress gate. It was not until Duan Qing approached that he found a certain part of the huge door panel.
In an inconspicuous corner, there is a door that is as tall as one person.
"An entrance specifically for adventurers." Seemingly understanding Duan Qing's question, Qicai Lingguang whispered from the side: "It is specially designed to ensure safety, because there are too many adventurers coming and going every day, and this gate cannot be used every day.
Open..."
"Hmph, to be honest, we are still a bunch of guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death."
A discordant voice suddenly sounded in the team. Duan Qing turned around and saw that it was a man with long hair. The half-length hair almost covered his face, and his whole body was covered by black cloth.
Judging from his appearance, the man wore the same attire and it was impossible to tell what his occupation was. However, the weapon on the man's waist was still very easy to identify - it should be a pair of daggers.
This player named Konoha Tornado is the savage they just found this morning.
"Shh, don't say that." Qicai Lingguang immediately turned around and said silently: "If Silanke hears it, it's over..."
"whispering sound……"
The player looked away, but there was nothing more.
"Is it just the five of you?"
First he lingered at the door for a while, and then slowly opened the iron door like a hawk. The captain stood there and yawned, and then he tried hard to open his sparse sleepy eyes and scanned the few people in front of him.
, and their rear: "Why aren't there more people together? It also saves me the trouble..."
"Ah hahaha, the weather is sunny today, and the field of vision is very broad..." He said casually to the other party, the colorful spirit bowed his head and smiled at the other party, while winking at the others, asking them to pass through that place as quickly as possible. Vaguely
The rest of the people could still hear the chatter between the two captains.
"Where are you going?"
"The mission instructions say we need to take Line F..."
"Oh? Tsk, tsk, tsk, heart, if they all die, we can't get the bodies back..."
"Ah hahaha, thank you captain for reminding us, we will understand."
"What is this, Captain Slanke, has he always had this kind of virtue?" Duan Qing asked quietly.
"He has always been like this to us adventurers, but we are all used to it..." Qingtian also quietly explained, but before he could finish, someone else's shout suddenly sounded in front of him.
"Wait a minute...wait a minute!"
Several people who looked like players ran closer from a distance and stopped in front of the door, panting: "Don't close the door yet, let... let us in!"
Behind the colorful aura, the door that was about to close just stopped, and the next moment, the head with a tilted helmet stuck out from there: "Who is it?"
"I...we are from the Changfeng Adventure Group..."
"Changfeng? Let me think about it...no, where is your captain? It's the one named Qi Ting Feng Yin..."
"Then, that...just now, in order to cover our escape, he stayed by himself..."
"What!"
The door opened with a swish, and the figure of Captain Silenko immediately appeared in that place. His eyes were wide open, but the words that came out of his mouth made Duan Qing, who was about to leave, frown.
"What do you do for food? Huh? You can't do any of the tasks well, and you hook up with your own captain? If you want me to follow you, do I have to sacrifice myself? You... you can't even get the latest
They are worse than new recruits! I think it’s better not to be an adventurer anymore, just pack up and go home! Don’t bring discredit to our principality..."
The series of shouts and curses were like lines that had been rehearsed thousands of times, ringing out at the door one after another like cannonballs, then gradually getting farther away as Duan Qing's team left, and finally became increasingly unclear.
Duan Qing turned around and glanced at the expressions of the others, then asked in a low voice: "Just now..."
"Don't worry, that happens all the time." Qicai Lingguang emphasized again: "Of course, it's for us."
"Are we going to suffer like this?"
"What's the point? Ah... I don't have the temper of Captain Sranko." Finally arriving in the wild, Qicai Lingguang also took out his weapon - a dagger that reflected the dim light of metal, and then sighed:
"When players go to the battlefield, there are no immortals. If they all die, forget it. If a few escape by chance...it is indeed a problem to explain. Later, this kind of situation happened more often, and everyone gradually
We have summed up some solutions, such as deserting the team, missing, becoming a deserter... Of course, these words are not very pleasant, but we players are not very good in the eyes of those people..."
"Uh...what's the use of this?"
"Of course it's to come back in the future." Qicai Lingguang said with a smile: "If a dead person appears out of thin air in front of the fortress commanders, wouldn't they be suspicious? Even if they don't regard you as a ghost, they still have to arrest you as a spy...
…”
"...I forgot about this." Duan Qing slapped his forehead and laughed too: "I don't seem to pay much attention to this aspect..."
"It seems that Brother Mo has never died."
"Uh, no, no, I just didn't care... So what did those people just mean?"
"Yeah, what do you think? Those few people just stayed to break up the rear, and they didn't die. It's just that the other party naturally thought so." The colorful dagger of the aura turned out a sword flower in his hand: "Wait for the player to run away.
When the corpse comes back, it's just a matter of luck that he survived... Sigh."
He suddenly sighed and said: "It's a pity. According to those people, Qing Ting Feng Yin should have knelt down. I remember that he has been preparing for the task of killing the Southern Front commander for the past two days. It is not a bad deal."
…”
"It's not yet certain to draw a conclusion now. The one who won't be determined by Changfeng has defeated the other party." Qingtian on the other side shook his head and continued.
"That's right, but it's hard for me. Look at the expressions of those people when they came back..."
After leaving the area outside the fortress gate, it is reasonable to say that we have entered the battlefield. However, the scene in front of us is very different from the bloody appearance that Duan Qing knew. It still maintains the appearance of an ordinary field with green grass.
There were only a few people around. Occasionally, wild animals could be seen passing by them. Only some mutilated corpses that occasionally appeared deep in the wild grass, as well as various weapons inserted into those corpses, still reminded the passersby.
It's about something that happened here not long ago.
"They are all poor people who didn't have time to deal with them." Qicai Lingguang explained: "They were all bitten by wild beasts."
"How far are we from the place?" The player named Konoha Tornado asked impatiently.
"You should know about Line F, right?" Qingtian on the side pointed to the northwest in a low voice: "Here, let's start from that place."
Following the direction he indicated, Duan Qing squinted his eyes slightly, and then discovered an unnatural color behind a pile of grass in the distance.
That's the tip of a helmet.
