The light of the butter candle swayed slightly, and a gentle crackling sound erupted from the crude candle core. In the dim light, the figures in the room shook a few times. This was a small room, with an old
A wooden table, two low-quality butter candles and a few empty wine bottles on the table were all the furnishings in this dilapidated house. A few drunken NPC guards staggered to the ground.
The figures moved again. They were five people. From the curves of the figures, it could be seen that the people coming were four women and a man.
"Hey, these idiots are actually drunk. They really saved us a lot of trouble." A woman's voice said.
"Kill them." The man's voice said.
"Yes." Four crisp replies came out in unison. The four women gently leaned down and slashed the necks of several guards with cold daggers, sending these daredevils to heaven.
The man took off the hood of his black robe, revealing a handsome face with deep eyes. He had a half-smiling expression, and pursed his lips gently, as if he was pondering something.
A girl walked to the corner of the hut and caressed the wall with her hands for a while. Then the wall of the hut made a soft clicking sound, and then retreated to both sides, revealing an upward passage.
"Hey, Mr. Palin, we can only send you here. Only spell casters can enter here... I leave this part of the mission to you, sir." The girl chuckled.
"Mr. Palin should also pay attention to his own safety. In addition to the useless mercenaries responsible for the defense here, there are also the private armies of the nobles and some fierce monsters." Another girl added, turning over the scroll in her hand and reading it again.
Said: "This part of the mission is a C-level mission, which is one level more difficult than your previous mission, so be careful."
The man - that is, Xiao Fen nodded, "Just stay here and don't let anyone else come in." He looked around, "Just wait until I come out." As he said that, he slowly walked into the weird passage.
, this passage is similar to a spiral staircase, but you can't see the walls on both sides clearly. When you are in the passage, it seems that there are twinkling stars above your head and below your feet. Walking in it is like walking in a tunnel of space and time...
…
Xiao Fen walked gently, but the scene a few hours ago appeared in his mind——
Dragon City was once a place where many heroes were born. Heroic lords built this immortal fortress standing in the central and southern part of the quiet bay. It has the Matisa Dragon Knight whose reputation for strict discipline is known throughout Oras.
In the era when mortals were traversing the continent, this fleet-footed army conquered the entire Silent Bay with its azure spears.
"Use my sword to create glory and myth for mortals!" The past oaths were gradually forgotten and ignored by people. When the corrosion of darkness gradually entangled this heroic city, the seeds of disaster were already sown.
Dragon City is the ruler, and its lords have fame, wealth or power that is unmatched by others. But behind this god-like halo, a shadow has enveloped the entire region like a plague. The struggle for power and interests among the lords has arrived.
Everywhere, two huge camps control the fate of Dragon City.
Behind the comfortable life, corruption has already been decided. When this power struggle comes to the fore, Dragon City finally cannot escape the curse that most human forces have suffered. It gradually declines - although this decline has not yet ended.
be noticed by people.
Behind the people are dim shadows, and behind the nobles is darkness that cannot be seen.

"This task doesn't seem to have anything to do with the work that the manager has to do, right?" Xiao Fen put down the mission background introduction about the 'plot mission: The Dark Noble', raised his eyelids sideways, and helplessly asked the smiling NPC - the Shadow Sage.
grown ups.
"Hahaha, there is it! How could it not be?... A little bit. The golden scrolls that the managers want to take back can only be obtained by completing this task." Tisavika carefully picked out hers.
Nails, to put it seriously.
"Then if we get the golden scroll, can we DOWN this mission?" He asked again.
Tisavika smiled and shook her finger: "Haha, no! I am doing this for your own good... Only after you have completed all the tasks can I ensure that you can reach the treasure map earlier than the 'Bloody Slayers' and the others.
Go to the place mentioned above!" After saying that, she gently waved a shabby treasure map in her hand.
Half Apple's expression changed, and he hurriedly touched his map box. Then he gritted his teeth bitterly. This was already the third time that this 'cute' sage never asked for his permission to take things from him.
Of... just take advantage of it.
"Okay, tell me, what should we do? You can't let us sit here and chat with you!" Wrought Iron shouted.
Tisavika narrowed her eyes, gently covered her mouth with her slender hand and said with a smile: "Hahaha, you are such an impatient guy. Girl Lunsi, come and talk to them."
Lunsi, who was also smiling, nodded quickly and took a step forward: "Hey, that's it. Let me introduce you to the main goal of the mission first."
"First of all," she said, "the forces behind Feline are controlled by Count Lessing and Count Mavina, but they are not the main targets of this mission, they are just minor players! I can tell you clearly that this plot mission
His target is directly aimed at the highest power in Dragon City, your mission is to——." She made a slashing gesture on her neck with her little hand, "Take him down!"
The wrought iron made a 'pop' sound and spit out the strong wine that had just been poured into his mouth, and he coughed violently.
"What - what!" Half Apple almost jumped up. What does the highest power in Dragon City mean? That is the lords of Dragon City. They can defeat them? Are you kidding?
"It's a very powerful mission. The reward must be very high, right? After it is completed... maybe we will become more famous! Hahaha, under the wise leadership of Miss Ke'er, the Shining Gold Coin Team finally won the final victory!
Hee hee!" Ke'er estimated optimistically, with a look of yearning on her face.
The little girl adjusted her snow-silver armor, puffed up her chest proudly, and said confidently: "Apple, why are you so surprised? We will definitely win! Isn't there a slang over there that says this?"
Evil never prevails over good! Isn’t that right? Brother Palin.”
Xiao Fen shook his head and thought to himself that this little girl still seemed to be speaking without thinking, and replied with a smile: "There is another saying that says that if the Tao is one foot high, the devil is one foot high."
"Tao...? Demon or something? What does that mean?" The little girl widened her eyes curiously.
"Uh..." Xiao Fen was stunned and added: "I mean you are quite beautiful."
Everyone sneered in a low voice, but the little girl refused and said, "You said that? It's a lie!" But her face turned a little red.
Rensi coughed lightly, brought everyone's attention back to the topic, and continued: "Don't worry, our Shadow Hand will provide you with help."
"Are we dealing with the Madisa family?" Xiao Fen asked again.
Rensi shook her head, "Hey, after all, it's one of the seven lords. As for that one... it's up to you to find the truth on your own. We can only provide you with the most basic clues."
"But if you say this, you already know who we are going to deal with, right? We are helping you now. Since you know, why don't you tell us by the way... I mean, doesn't it seem inconsistent with the facts?
Is it done?" Half Apple said blankly.
Tisavika waved her fingers, "No, this is fun! Sister, I'm so bored... Little guy, don't you think about me at all? It's really sad!"
Everyone spurted blood.
Rensi opened the booklet in her hand and said: "What I am going to talk about below is the first step of the entire task, and the system stipulates that we can only provide you with the first step of the task process and the first step of clues. First of all,
The clues obtained from the Manlf Brotherhood indicate that the transportation of slaves is handled by sea. After our shadow hands investigated the Longcheng Wharf Port Management Office, there were three ships entering the port that matched the arrival time of the slaves——
The fast barque Cloudmist, the large barque Royal Margaret, and the square-rigged battleship Whale Song.”
"This is the first branch mission of the 'Dark Noble', which requires people to collect clues from these three ships. The mission prompt is: try not to alert the enemy. Mission level: D."
"In addition..." she continued, "according to Feilin, that force has an important hostage. This hostage is said to be imprisoned in an underground secret passage in Count Mavina's mansion area in Longcheng. This is the second
A branch mission, you must rescue this important hostage... The mission prompt is: Do not let the hostage die, mission level: D."
"Third, the golden scroll. We have mastered the exact location of the golden scroll. It is in the 14th Arcane Tower in the Arcane Zone. You must go and get it back... The secret entrance to the Arcane Tower that we have
It can only be entered by an arcane caster... Of course, if you plan to rush in through the gate of the Arcane Tower, I have no objection! The mission prompt is: only one arcane caster can enter, mission level: C."
"Last reminder, the three tasks must be carried out at the same time."
Everyone was in an uproar, but the uproar turned into an uproar. The task still had to be completed. In the end, Shining Gold Coin finally decided on its own group - the first group: Half Apple and Cole, responsible for collecting clues at the dock, and Half Apple responsible for command; the second group
Group: Tranquility Snow, Wrought Iron, Manshi, Sophia, Yun, are responsible for rescuing the hostages, Tranquility Snow is responsible for command; the third group, Xiao Fen, is responsible for retrieving the golden scroll, this... Of course, they are commanding themselves.
After everyone was divided into groups, Tisawika brought a bag with a smile and took out a pair of gloves, a wooden talisman necklace, and a black cloak. She first picked up the gloves, which were a pair of black leather
The gloves are covered with fine white silk like spider webs, and there is a black gemstone in the center of the palm of the glove.
"This is a black spider glove, a high-level magic item, defense 2, climbing skill +3, stealth +2, and comes with the 'spider web' skill once a day. Little halfling, I will give this to you for the convenience of completion.
Mission." She handed the half apple to her glove with a smile, and then picked up the simple wooden talisman-carved necklace, which was a necklace engraved with the sacred emblem of the sun.
"Petela's faith, high-level magic items, 30% increase in healing spell effect, three more first-level magic slots, two more second-level magic slots, pretty little sister, take it."
Quiet Xue smiled slightly and wanted to take the necklace; but Tisavika retracted her hand with a smile, then gently turned Xue over, put on the necklace for her with her own hands, and exclaimed loudly: "What a beautiful woman.
Where is my girl?"
Everyone fell into a daze. The moment Tisavika put the necklace on Xue, a maternal radiance emanated from this devilish woman. It was really...
"Am I dazzled?" Half Apple rubbed his eyes.
Tisavika tilted her head, picked up the last cloak, and was about to speak when she suddenly said blankly: "Hey, where did you just say it?"
Lunsi reminded without surprise: "Hehe, Sir Sage, you have introduced this cloak!" As she said that, she pointed to the black cloak in Tisavika's hand. This cloak actually did not
It's not completely black, it's a kind of black with a hint of purple. Its surface is sewn with star patterns with invisible silver threads. It looks mysterious from a distance.
"That's right, this cloak! Gaolun's starry sky!" Tisavika raised her head and stared at Xiao Fen's deep pupils with eyes full of smiles. "This is yours, cute little mage!" she said
Say it word for word.

The images in his mind gradually blurred, and Xiao Fen's thoughts returned to reality. The passage had reached the end. After passing through the door not far ahead, danger was coming...
