Of course, Renn would not be stupid enough to go over and ask the other party directly. Those patrolling soldiers would definitely catch him on the spot.
It can be seen from the other party's nervousness that the "things" in the "water truck" are very important.
Looking back, he saw Adam who was sleeping like a pig and snoring constantly. He tiptoed out of the carriage. After checking the surrounding terrain, he took a detour to avoid the opponent's sight and climbed to a nearby high ground.
Looking down in the moonlight, I discovered that the strange car indeed contained a large amount of water, like a huge pool. There was a little girl with a body like a fish and a fish tail in the water, huddled in fear inside.
"Sea tribe?" Renn thought of the mermaids he met in Moon Lake.
Could it be a prisoner of the Sea Tribe?
But this little girl is very weak. I have never seen such a small mermaid in previous battles.
Recalling the information previously obtained, most people find it incomprehensible to the Sea Tribe’s sudden attack on humans. Could it be related to this little mermaid?
There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hate without reason.
However, this matter has nothing to do with him. In front of him is the army of Storm City nobles. He needs to settle down in this country, so he should not meddle in other people's business.
Thinking of this, I prepared to return to the carriage.
[System] Found a special mission - rescue the princess of the sea tribe! Approach the princess of the sea tribe to receive the task, try to rescue and send the target to the seaside, there is no time limit. Mission reward: 1 big pearl (worth 10 gold coins), sea tribe weapon (
Sea Tribe War Sword, Sea Tribe War Halberd, Sea Tribe War Knife (choose the same), random Sea Tribe warriors, magic skill books, Sea Tribe ship design drawings.
I didn't expect that the system would directly release special tasks. This appears randomly in the game. The rewards are extremely generous and rare. I didn't expect it to appear here!
A large pearl worth 10 gold coins is equivalent to 100,000 yuan.
One of the three Sea Clan weapons is definitely a good weapon compared to wooden spears, and may have higher attributes than iron weapons.
Skill books are dropped by killing monsters, and the chance of appearing is not high. They are usually obtained by repeatedly clearing dungeons.
Ships can be unlocked in the later stages, requiring a certain level of intelligence and unlocking a lot of prerequisite technologies, but with the design drawings available, you can save yourself the trouble and directly unlock and manufacture them.
The temptation is quite great!
Originally, Ren didn't want to wade into troubled waters, but he was swayed when he saw the special mission rewards.
After thinking carefully, weighing the pros and cons, I felt that I couldn’t miss it.
Opposite there is a whole team of Storm City soldiers, numbering about twenty. They are not the kind of weak poor people, but well-equipped and well-trained soldiers.
Renn does not feel that he has the ability to challenge and defeat this team head-on, nor will he anger the Storm City nobles for a special mission and interfere in this matter while exposing his identity.
After thinking again and again, I decided to use the sandbox game system to rescue people without anyone noticing.
The method is to dig a tunnel, dig a hole under the "water truck", hide the sea princess underground, and block the ground with blocks. The other party can't find her even if they dig three feet into the ground.
But he couldn't take the person away directly. Once the soldiers discovered that the sea princess was missing, Adam and himself, who were resting nearby, were the first suspects.
He wanted to temporarily leave the sea princess in the cave until he got rid of the soldiers' suspicion of him, and then come back to send her away.
For an experienced sandbox game player, Lane can roughly estimate the distance from the current location to the "water truck" through visual inspection, and know how many blocks he needs to dig to reach it successfully.
Calculate the distance by visual inspection, dig at the most hidden location on the hilltop, and spend a little time digging from the ground to the bottom of the "water truck".
In addition to accurate visual inspection, the reason for being able to arrive accurately is through virtual map comparison.
Ren, who broke out of the ground, was directly under the "water truck". With his head, he could see the lower body and legs of the storm troopers patrolling around him.
There were also soldiers beside the car, very close to each other, so he had to be cautious.
In the "water truck" above the head, the little mermaid makes a "swishing" sound when she moves a little. You can hear it more clearly at a closer distance, and you can feel her fear and helplessness just by listening to the sound.
Because there were soldiers standing guard next to the car, Ren didn't dare to take action easily, so he could only wait quietly for the opportunity.
"Does Baron Andrew have a chance to be promoted this time?"
"Of course! If the Baron captures the Princess of the Sea Clan, as long as she delivers it to His Majesty, the Sea Clan will have to be obedient. Once he takes control of the Sea Clan and the country's power increases greatly, Your Majesty will at least reward her with a count."
"Baron is promoted to earl, then we will follow the rising tide and become the army of the earl palace?"
"That's natural!"
"But the Sea Tribe has been going crazy lately, attacking ships in ports everywhere, even attacking Moon Lake. It's quite troublesome!"
"It's useless! For the sake of the sea princess, they will still compromise and be obedient."
…
Under the "water truck", Renne clearly heard the soldiers' conversation and understood the whole story.
It turns out that Baron Andrew of Storm City captured the Sea Tribe princess and prepared to give her to King Nangris, so the Sea Tribe began to attack humans in order to find the princess and bring her back.
In the end, the sea princess was sent out of Storm City by Baron Andrew, but she was met by him.
When the Moon Lake was attacked, I felt that the Sea Clan was too hateful. Now it seems that the hateful one is Baron Andrew.
After waiting for a while, the soldier next to the "water tanker" probably had to urinate urgently and ran to the distance to solve the problem.
Finally waiting for the opportunity, Ren quickly took out his wooden ax, raised his head and pointed it at the "water truck" and quickly chopped it down, destroying the bottom.
A square hole appeared under the car, and the water inside poured vertically downwards into the hole.
The sea princess in the car was frightened and carefully looked around, just as her eyes met with Ren's.
"Shh——!!" Seeing that she wanted to scream, Ren quickly raised his index finger, making a silent gesture, and whispered, "Don't be afraid! I'm here to save you. They must have heard the sound of water, on the other side
Leave before you come here!"
The sea princess heard the noisy footsteps and had no time to think. In order to escape, she had no choice but to believe. So she got out of the car and quickly entered the cave.
When Ren heard the footsteps, he immediately installed the wooden boards at the bottom of the "water truck" back, restoring the vehicle to its original appearance, as if it had not been damaged.
Then drill into the hole and place dirt blocks on your head to restore the terrain to its original state.
One square is not enough, so place seven or eight in a row until you get to the bottom.
The bottom tunnel was flooded and he needed to swim out, but the sea tribe princess was very comfortable in the water.
The water extinguished all the simple torches made by Ren. He could only float to the surface as much as possible, make a new torch, hold it in his hand, and hold it up for lighting.
"Who are you?" After the sea tribe princess was freed, she swam in front of him and looked at him carefully by the firelight, and asked curiously, "Why did you save me?"
