"It's a hidden mission, we are rich!" The bad cowboy cheered. He was the only one in the team who had never received a hidden mission, and now he could finally enjoy it.
"What is he talking about?" Duke Nicholas looked at the bad cowboy strangely.
"Ahem, he's thinking about the reward." Haoran said in an understatement: "His family is very poor and can't even afford a gift to marry a wife. This time he sees hope."
"You..." The bad cowboy wanted to argue, but was glared back by Situ Muyun with a fierce look.
Xiaoyun somewhat guessed Haoran's intention. In the Wuji game, if you can successfully affect the NPC's emotions, you will often have unexpected gains.
"I..." The bad cowboy shed tears and drew circles on the edge.
"So that's it. Don't worry, little brother." The old Duke said with a look of sudden realization, "As long as I return to Moon Moon City, the benefits will be beyond your expectation."
"Well, our brother's lifelong happiness depends entirely on you, Your Majesty the Duke." Seeing that his plan was successful, Haoran showed a proud smile.
On the other hand, Lan Qingjue very considerately stepped forward to help Duke Nicholas up from the ground. It could be seen that there were several wounds on his body that were deep enough to show the bones. Since they were not treated in time, pus had already flowed out of the wounds.
"Can you still walk?" Situ Muyun felt a little uneasy. The elite monsters in this jungle are so powerful and require the strength of a team to kill them. The boss is obviously even more terrifying. When the time comes to fight, no one will be spared.
I have to devote all my time to taking care of the old Duke. If I accidentally let him die, I will suffer great losses.
"I can still hold on to this little injury." The old Duke was not as delicate as other members of the royal family. He immediately broke away from Lan Qingjue's support and took two steps on his own.
"Plop" really only took two steps, because on the third step he fell to the ground again.
"Warriors, I..." He blushed, but he could not change the fact that he was seriously injured.
"Your Excellency, please take a breath and recover your strength." Haoran took out a large bottle of life potion and sprinkled it on his wound. Although it was a recovery agent for players, it might be useful for players.
"What is this?" Duke Nicholas looked at the bottle of life potion curiously. After spreading it on his wound, although there was no obvious improvement, it was not as painful as before.
There seemed to be a way out. Haoran took out a bottle of potion again and was about to pour it on, but was stopped by the old Duke.
"Young man, although that thing has weakened the pain of the wound, it can't really heal my wound. It would be great if there were a priest here." He lamented.
"Pastor? Are you sure the pastor can work?" Haoran was stunned, Qingqing was the pastor.
"Although my injury is not serious, it does not really hurt my bones. As long as I use an ordinary healing technique, I should be able to regain my strength. Unfortunately..." The old man said a little lostly. In his mind, there is no sunlight here all year round.
, no priest with a weak constitution would walk in.
"If your injury really only needs a priest to heal, I have a good candidate here." Situ Muyun smiled and pushed Qingqing forward.
"Your Excellency, would you like me to treat you?" Qingqing had the sweetest smile on her face.
"Little girl, you are actually a priest?" Duke Nicholas was stunned, because Lan Qingjue had replaced his original equipment with a green suit, and he didn't look like a priest at all.
"That's right, can you let me help you treat it?" Qingqing nodded, with a smile that never faded from her face.
"Okay, I'm done." Nicholas stared at her for a few seconds and finally agreed. In this forest of despair, if he couldn't stand up on his own strength, it would be difficult for him to leave alive.
Qingqing raised the staff in her hand, and white light came out like mist, covering Nicholas's entire body in just a few seconds.
Under the wash of white light, the old man's injuries began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye. From healing, scabbing, to the calluses falling off, it only took a minute.
"Okay." Qingqing removed the healing spell and said a little tiredly. In this minute, she almost used up all her magic power. Fortunately, there was a large bottle of magic potion in the package. Otherwise, if she encountered a monster later, she wouldn't even be able to fight back.
I have no ability left.
"It feels so good to be healthy again." After taking a deep breath, Duke Nicholas held his hands on the tree pole beside him and stood up. Although there was still not much blood on his face, his complexion was no longer as pale as before.
So pale and frightening.
"Little girl, you are an excellent pastor." He praised sincerely, and then asked: "Who is your master?"
"Linda, the great mage of light." Lan Qingjue answered quickly.
"It turns out to be that girl Linda. When I came out, she was still alone. I didn't expect that she would take such a good apprentice while my old man was away." The old Duke smiled heartily and said, "Little girl, your mentor is my niece.
Woolen cloth."
"Uncle." Qingqing's mouth was always sweet, and this honorific title immediately made the Duke smile from ear to ear.
"Be good, be good." The old man said repeatedly, with many wrinkles appearing in the corners of his eyes from laughter. He had no children and treated Linda like his own daughter. Now that he saw Qingqing, he was as happy as meeting his granddaughter.
Is there such a thing? Haoran stabbed the cowboy in the back and said: "Don't be stupid, you should follow your cousin to get married, maybe you can become a noble in the future."
"I only want gold coins." The bad cowboy protested.
"With power comes money, this is axiom." Haoran said plausibly.
"I……"
"Look, should we send Duke Nicholas back to the city first this time, or should we kill the Jedi giant lizard first?" Ignoring the bickering between the two, Situ Muyun suddenly spoke and asked for everyone's opinions.
"Otherwise, let's send him back to the city first." Qingqing was kind-hearted. Seeing Duke Nicholas looking at her so lovingly, she really couldn't bear for the old man to make any mistakes.
"This Forest of Despair is so big. It has taken us a whole morning to get here. If we do it all over again, will the gain outweigh the loss?" Haoran was a little hesitant. If it weren't for the hidden mission, he would definitely go directly.
Said to kill the monitor lizard first.
"I listen to Xiaoyun in everything." The bad cowboy's stance was very firm.
"Xiaoyun?" Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Situ Muyun.
"This..." It was a matter of great importance, and Xiaoyun, as the captain, was also a little hesitant.
"If you really want to kill the Jedi giant lizard, you must take me with you." Duke Nicholas on the side suddenly interjected very seriously.
