In Preston, the D-level plane where Leyton City Temple belongs, Baron Anlan is waiting quietly in the meeting hall.
To everyone's surprise, Baron Anlan turned out to be a charming lady, about forty years old. Although the exquisite makeup could not cover up the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she still retained a few traces of her youthful appearance.
She is very beautiful and charming, and her temperament is even more graceful and noble.
To the left and right of the Baroness sat a handsome young man and a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, and a white-haired old housekeeper stood solemnly behind her.
"Welcome, warriors from the temple!"
Seeing Locke coming in with Zhao Xi and others, Baron Anlan immediately stood up to welcome him, with a joyful smile on his face: "We, the Preston Territory, are looking forward to the support of the Holy Church!"
Her smile was sincere, but Zhao Xi could see that there was lingering anxiety in the other person's eyes, so Preston's situation must be very bad.
"Preparing the Glory Knight, Captain Zhao Daniu of the Raising Eyebrow Team has met the Lord!"
Zhao Xi immediately stepped forward and saluted: "According to the order of Master Goethe of the Holy Church, we are here to help Preston deal with the evil vampires. It is our obligation and responsibility to eliminate the heretics!"
Zhao Xi said these words sonorously and forcefully, and his steady voice echoed in the conference hall!
Is this acting?
Ye Qianqian, who was following Zhao Xi, couldn't help rolling his eyes. Li Shuai, the Ye brothers and others also showed a hint of disapproval. They all felt that the conversation between Zhao Xi and Baron Anlan was a bit funny, although
It is said that plot missions are different from ordinary missions. The AI of NPCs is very high, but it is not necessary to reach this level, right?
But the expressions of Locke and Baron Anlan changed. There was more respect in Zhao Xi's eyes, and the latter even returned the greeting: "I believe you will be able to do it. Lord Preston will always remember you."
help!"
Zhao Xi smiled faintly. Revealing his identity as a knight of glory had indeed had an effect, offsetting the bad influence he had previously had on Locke due to his low level.
In order to complete this mission, Preston's official strength is indispensable, but his side must not be underestimated by the other side. Otherwise, it will easily become cannon fodder.
Winning the respect of the other party is the most important prerequisite for ensuring fair cooperation.
Although Zhao Xi has never done plot missions before, his mind is not as careless as he appears. Through the analysis of those plot mission materials, he has a good idea of what he should do and how to do it.
Baron Anlan also introduced Zhao Xi to the people accompanying her. The handsome man on the left is her eldest son Victor. The cute girl on the right is her second daughter Vivian. There is also an old housekeeper Enzo.
After the introduction, Anlan warmly invited Zhao Xi and others to sit down, and asked the old butler to bring hot black tea and snacks. This made the relationship between the two parties more harmonious and the atmosphere in the meeting hall more comfortable.
Without Zhao Xi taking the initiative to ask, Anlan couldn't wait to start describing Preston's current situation.
Both Ye Qianqian and the Ye family brothers, including Li Shuai and An Xiaohai, all saw the point at this time and understood the intention of Zhao Xi and Baron An Lan to communicate seriously and treat each other sincerely.
Everyone had to admit that their ability to grasp the details of the task was far beyond theirs!
The D-level plane is the smallest independent plane. The area of Preston Territory is about thousands of square kilometers. Most of the area is occupied by forests and mountains, and only the middle part is plain.
There are only 5,500 citizens in the entire territory, and the entire population is distributed in the plain area with Blackstone Castle as the core, as well as in more than a dozen villages and towns of various sizes surrounding the castle and on the edge of the forest.
The population of Blackstone Castle is about 3,000, and it has a 150-person guard team. The team members are mainly warriors and archers from level 15 to 18. The leader is Locke, a level 25 paladin.
Although the area of Preston Territory is not large, it is rich in products, especially various mineral resources, with as many as seven mines.
For hundreds of years, the Preston family has been managing the territory, continuously providing supplies to the church, and living a peaceful and peaceful life. The monsters in the forest rarely come out to attack villages, towns and local residents.
However, the situation changed two weeks ago. Villages and towns across the country were suddenly attacked by shadow wolves. The local residents suffered varying degrees of injuries, and some people were missing in the attack by the monsters.
Before Blackstone Castle could organize manpower to eliminate the raging shadow wolves, traces of vampires actually appeared in the castle. Five residents were drained of blood and left dead on the street, making the entire territory panic.
Although An Lan urgently ordered a curfew to track down vampires and asked for help from the Holy Church, the situation did not improve. It is said that a hunter discovered a vampire's lair while hunting in the mountains!
Two days ago, a copper mine 10 kilometers away from Blackstone Castle was once again attacked by a large number of shadow wolves. The local miners suffered heavy losses, and even the nearby Dawn Town almost suffered disaster. Fortunately, Locke and his people rushed there in time.
This prevented the town from falling into the mouth of the wolves.
However, seeing that the situation is getting worse and worse, the escort team led by Locke must first ensure the safety of the castle. While the internal troubles have not been cleared, the support to surrounding villages and towns is very limited.
Baron Anlan spoke in detail and for a long time. After Zhao Xi listened quietly, he asked: "Where is the hunter who discovered the vampire's lair now?"
This should be the key to the mission. Zhao Xi's mission this time is to eliminate vampires. If he can go straight to the lair, he may be able to complete the mission quickly.
But he didn't think it would be that simple.
Sure enough, Anlan smiled bitterly and said: "This hunter was seriously injured when he returned to Chenxi Town. He died after telling others the news. Therefore, no one knows where the vampire's lair is now, and no one dares to go deep into it.
Go into the forests and mountains."
As she spoke, she looked at Zhao Xi with an expectant look in her eyes.
Zhao Xi's heart moved and he said without hesitation: "Lord Baron, I am willing to lead a team to find the vampire's lair. I hope to get your support!"
Anlan hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir, of course I absolutely support you, but this mission is too dangerous. We should take a long-term view and not act in a hurry."
"Let's see if you can help us eliminate the shadow wolves near Morningside Town first, so that the copper mine can resume mining as soon as possible, because this is important to both Preston and the Holy Church!"
System prompt: Do you choose to accept the mission of clearing out the Shadow Wolves?
Mission goal: eliminate more than 70% of the shadow wolves near Chenxi Town and restore the copper mine.
Mission limit: standard time 48 hours.
Task reward: Participants will receive 100,000 experience points, 2 plane reputation points, and 1 skill point!
This is a branch mission of the plot mission and can be rejected, but rejection is equivalent to failure. The consequence of failure is a decrease in the trust of the two important plot missions, which will undoubtedly affect the progress of subsequent missions.
Zhao Xi did not hesitate at all: "I am willing to serve the lord!"
"Very good!"
An Lan smiled happily and said, "If you have any requests, please just ask!"
Any conditions?
Fang Xu and others, who had been sitting aside and listening for a long time, suddenly became energetic. This is to pay for the benefits in advance!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi said calmly: "I hope your Excellency can provide you with a map of Preston Territory. The more detailed and accurate the better. In addition, I also hope to get a guide who is familiar with the local environment, preferably a hunter."
"No problem!" Anlan asked, "Do you have any other requirements?"
Zhao Xi shook his head: "No more!"
Gone?
The other members of Yangmei Team were all surprised, and even Ye Qianqian looked at Zhao Xi a little strangely.
Judging from the appearance of this NPC lord, it is clear that he wants to bring out a lot of benefits. As a professional team, shouldn't we take the opportunity to get some benefits first?
In this way, even if the mission fails, you won’t lose everything!
Is Zhao Xi too stupid?
