Chapter 22 NPCs who collect tolls(1/2)

Even in different worlds, in Wang He's view, the universal social view that men and women are different should exist.

Out of caution, and out of wanting to lower his reputation in Melikai's eyes.

So Wan Haohao, as the captain, gave the order that he alone would be responsible for the night watch.

As for the two of them and the beast, just rest well in the big tent. After all, Melikai is his temporary boss now.

He sat on a fallen dead tree next to the campfire and activated the prayer technique, preparing to guard the surroundings while recovering his fatigue points through prayer.

Turning on the prayer technique is like entering a meditative state, and his awareness of changes in external things becomes extremely keen.

High perception ability assists the prayer technique, which may play a detection role.

Wang He clasped his hands in front of his chest and closed his eyes slightly. Under the light of the bonfire, his whole person seemed to have a mysterious aura.

Sa Shan saw this and secretly decided that even if she stayed up all night, she would still pray to the goddess like Wang He.

However, what Wang He was thinking about at this moment was not God. What he was thinking about was how to use his perception ability to detect the enemy's situation.

As the Druid I met earlier said, divine power and natural elements are just external forces. How to use and understand them is the important key.

So he had to try it step by step.

He repeated it in his mind, listening carefully to the sounds of insects, animals moving around him, birds and animals roaring, and even vegetation growing.

After one night, he smiled.

System prompt: You have mastered the detection technique level 1.

Detection Technique Level 1: Enter a meditative state, consume 3 MP, strengthen the five senses, detect changes within a 40-foot range with the self as the center, and can detect subtle changes in the area. Some special situations test the perception and concealment abilities of both parties.

Determine whether it can be detected.

"Skills are nothing but the application of an understanding of the world."

In the rules of this world, only those who are good at thinking and trying can master more skills.

With excitement, Wang He continued on his journey to the Elf territory.

After trekking without incident for about two days, he cleared the last bush.

What appeared in his eyes was a small elf city-state and about a dozen guards wearing standard light armor in front of the city-state's gate.

A young male elf who looked like a leader drew his sword and faced Xiang Wang He and the others.

"Ahem, we are the glorious knight escort of the elves." He shouted.

"Glory!" the troops behind him responded.

"Those who want to enter the Elf territory through this place, listen up."

"listen!"

"I planted this tree and opened this road. If you want to go this way, leave money to buy the road."

"Brother Feng, what you said is so smooth!"

"It's so slippery!"

"That's right! If you guys follow me and make money from foreigners, it won't be a matter of minutes?"

"Brother Feng." A man who looked like an adjutant ran to him.

"What's wrong?"

"It seems like an NPC is coming."

"Tsk, it's a waste of expression. But the NPC can also make a fortune."

Wang He turned on the detection technique and just tested these guys. He found that after the five senses were enhanced, even if he was far away, he could still vaguely hear the sound after concentrating.

"Want to give me a break?" Wang He put on his signature warm smile, told the unicorn to stay in the forest and wait, and then walked over with his team.

The leader, who was called Brother Feng, glanced at Wang He and the others with his observation skills, and said, "I won't ask who the person is. Each of you will have to pay a guarantee fee of 20 large silver coins before we can let you in."

Fengluan-NPC, captain of the guard team of the Knights of Kyle Town, ordinary believer of Melikai, faith value: 22.

Wang He looked a little surprised and said quickly: "Here comes Goddess Melikai! Mr. Captain, I was here not long ago. Why do you have to charge a fee all of a sudden?"

"Hmph, you look like a priest. Where are you from a remote place? Why is the news so late?"

"I'm kind enough to tell you something. Xiaopeng, bring that thing over here." Fengluan waved to one side, and a younger elf next to him immediately handed him a simple wooden box.

"The current situation is chaotic, in order to maintain the peace of the elves." He paused deliberately.

"Peace!" A group of guards behind him shouted in a well-trained manner, and the shock power was very huge in a sense.

"We need to eliminate hidden dangers for the elves. Anyone who hopes to enter the elves' territory from this direction must be guaranteed by someone." Fengluan took out a business card-style card from the box.

"This is the guarantee card signed by me. I don't think you are bad guys. 20 large silver coins are already at a 50% discount. Pay the money quickly before I change my mind." He pretended to cough.

One sound.

"Brother Feng, drink some water." The young elf on the side handed him a wooden cup.

"You can consider it."

Seeing that Wang He and the others were indifferent, Feng Luan winked, and one of the guards immediately raised his hand and gestured towards the sky.

Not long after, an adventurer-looking elf ran from a distance and asked to enter the town.

"Captain Fengluan, here you go! Wuwu, without your guarantee before, I couldn't move at all in the elven territory. Even buying items was refused." The young elf cried and handed over a bulging bag.

To Feng Luan, with a face full of sincerity.

"You're smart, kid, go in! However, if someone can't even afford 20 large silver coins, the end will usually not be very good." He glanced at Wang He intentionally.

"Oh, I didn't expect the situation to turn out to be so serious?" Wang He seemed very surprised and shouted loudly, attracting people around to watch.

Feng Luan also became a little concerned.

"Captain Fengluan, we escaped from the forest in the northwest. I received a mysterious commission in another town before, asking me to deliver a secret message to the Elf Royal Family." Wang He approached him and deliberately lowered his voice.

sound.

"What's the news?" Feng Luan couldn't hold back his voice.

Wang He smiled mysteriously: "My name is Abel, do you have any impression?"

"Brother Feng!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's Abel, the human NPC from the previous elf royal order."

"Is it him?" Feng Luan's eyes lit up, but before he could react, a mission prompt appeared in his system.

"Captain, we are short of money now, so please be patient and tolerant. I can share this secret with you." Wang He's smile was full of sincerity.

Mission: A secret message.

Task description: The NPC named Abel has issued a task to you, and the task type is of the exchange category.

Mission content: Abel-NPC will tell you a piece of information, and in exchange, you must allow them to enter Kyle Town free of charge, and you must not hinder any of their actions in the future.

"Is this a hidden mission? That's incredible."

"Agree!" He was very excited and immediately accepted the task.

Feng Luan heard the prompt: Under the watchful eye of God, the mission has been established. Both parties must not violate it, otherwise they will be punished.

After he calmed down for a moment, he saw Wang He waving for him to go over alone.

After following him away from the crowd, the two talked secretly for about a few minutes.

"Let Mr. Abel and his companions pass. Whoever dares to stop him in the future will have trouble with our mountains and our escort!" He greeted his men with an excited look.

Then there was another roar: "Yes!"

Wang He smiled and said: "I still have a partner in the forest. Can he come over later?"

"Of course!" Feng Luan did not hesitate.

Following Wang He's move, a group of guards saw a unicorn suddenly appear in the forest, and in the blink of an eye it ran behind the NPC named Abel.

"Let's go." Wang He greeted, and the unicorn followed them towards the city.

Feng Luan didn't stop him, but he became more and more sure that he made the right bet.

"Brother Feng, this is..."

"We are going against the will of heaven! Hahahaha!"

Feng Luan laughed wildly, not even accepting the protection fee, and led his men to rush in a certain direction outside the town.

"Abel, what secret were you talking about just now?" Sashan was a little confused about Wang He's actions just now.

"This is just a small test for them." Wang He is very mysterious and unpredictable.

Seeing this, Sashan seemed to have thought of something, and nodded without asking any more questions.

Melika also didn't say anything. She seemed to be used to all Wang He's actions.

Believers who charge fees under the guise of guarantees should indeed be punished.
