"Brother Daniu, why don't you ask An Lando for some benefits?"
Zhao Xi and the seven members of Yangmei Team had just walked out of the lord's mansion, and Ye Qianqian couldn't wait to ask.
When Baron Anlan, Lord of Preston, Zhao Xi just asked for a plane map, and Anlan also gave him a warrant, allowing Zhao Xi to temporarily recruit no more than 10 people from the territory, and the time limit was also
48 hours.
Among all the team members, only Ye Qianqian, who had just arrived, dared to question Zhao Xi at this time. Firstly, she was strong enough and confident, and secondly, she was not very convinced of Zhao Xi.
However, her question brought up the same doubt in everyone else's mind - why not order more?
Zhao Xi glanced at her and thought that this young lady was really difficult to deal with.
He didn't quite believe that Ye Qianqian really couldn't understand his intentions. She definitely had ulterior motives in choosing to ask questions at this time. The little girl was very good at pretending to be confused. He didn't know who gave birth to such a shrewd person.
But now that she asked, Zhao Xi had to explain to his teammates: "As the saying goes, no reward comes without reward. We have just arrived in Preston and are not familiar with the situation here at all. We must rely on Baron Anlan."
Only by cooperating with the Rock Knights can we complete the mission, so winning their trust and respect first is the most important."
"If I had just opened my mouth to An Lan, and I didn't even mention the benefits, I'm afraid her favorability towards us would have dropped immediately. It would definitely be more of a loss than the gain!"
After listening to Zhao Xi's analysis, Fang Xu couldn't help but be speechless: "Damn, there is so much to do to complete a task?"
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "This is the special point of plot missions. We cannot treat them as NPCs, but as living characters. We must understand their personalities and characteristics and carry out targeted actions to ensure that
The success of this mission.”
Li Shuai felt a little incredible: "Brother Daniel, you have never played a virtual game before, how come you know so much about the plot missions? We have also read the information about the plot missions, but we have not seen these things!"
Zhao Xi said: "My focus on reading game information is different from yours, maybe it's because of my professional habits!"
Ye Qianqian's eyes flashed and she pursed her pink lips. She said nothing more.
Others were even more relieved. Fang Xu and the others knew that Zhao Xi had worked in the army for seven years and had also been a junior officer. His views on many things must be different from ordinary people.
They are definitely lucky to have such a thoughtful captain!
Under the leadership of Zhao Xi, everyone left Blackstone Castle and set off towards Chenxi Town.
Morningside Town is located about seven or eight kilometers northwest of Blackstone Castle. Due to the short distance, there are no public carriages in the castle, so everyone walks along the relatively flat road.
The area of Preston is not very large, but the scenery is still very good. On both sides of the road are acres and acres of wheat fields. It is not yet the autumn harvest season. The green and yellow wheat ears sway in the wind, making a rustling sound, and the waves of wheat are undulating.
The sight is refreshing and refreshing.
From a distance, at the end of the plain is a dense forest, with majestic mountains standing among them. The sky is high, the clouds are pale, the sun is shining brightly, and the air is filled with the fragrance of soil and green grass.
It's just that there are very few pedestrians on the road. There are only a few farmers and civilians passing by. In this independent and closed plane like a paradise, the population is obviously too sparse.
After walking for nearly an hour, we passed through a sparse forest and saw a town in front of us.
Dawn Town has arrived.
This edge town is one of the best in Preston. According to the information on the plane map, the town has a population of more than 600 residents, and the residents make a living by farming, mining and hunting.
Although it is said to be a small town, it is actually similar to a village. Chenxi Town is built on a grassy slope with a small river meandering nearby. It is ancient and quiet.
From a distance, there are very few buildings with a height of more than 10 meters and two floors in the town. Most of them are bungalows or even huts. The outside of the town is surrounded by wooden piles and fences, forming a crude defense facility.
There is a checkpoint at the end of the road, which is the entrance to Chenxi Town. There are two warriors wearing worn leather armor and carrying short swords on their backs to guard the road. They stand behind the wooden fence with very alert eyes.
Zhao Xi used his insight to take a look and found that both of them were level 13 warriors with very poor equipment.
Seeing the Yangmei team coming all the way, a soldier immediately shouted and asked: "Who are you?"
Zhao Xi signaled the team members to stop first, then he went straight forward and said: "We are hired adventurers sent by Lord Anlan to Chenxi Town to deal with the Shadow Wolf."
"Hire adventurers?"
The two soldiers looked at each other, and the one just now asked again: "Do you have any credentials?"
"I have the Lord's warrant!"
Zhao Xi smiled slightly and handed over the warrant signed by An Lan.
The opponent's soldier took it, but he didn't open it directly and looked at it. Instead, he said to his companion: "Go and invite Pastor Du Wei over!"
Another soldier nodded and ran towards the town.
The soldier in charge of negotiating with Zhao Xi was a little embarrassed and explained to Zhao Xi sheepishly: "Neither of us can read or understand the warrant, so we can only ask the priest to see it. I hope you don't mind!"
Zhao Xi nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, we can wait."
An Xiaohai, who was following him, muttered: "What a broken town with so many rules. If we just break in, what can they do to us?"
Zhao Xi turned around and glared at him, and the thief immediately closed his mouth.
However, they did not wait too long. Within a moment, another soldier hurried over with a middle-aged priest in white robes.
This middle-aged priest is level 17. He is thin and average-looking. He looks young but has gray hair on his temples. He still holds a small staff in his hand.
He took the warrant and unfolded it, read it over, and suddenly showed a look of relief: "Thanks to the God of Light, Master Anlan finally sent someone to support us. I am Du Wei, the only priest in Chenxi Town. Please come in, everyone!"
The priest asked the soldiers to move the wooden fence blocking the road and let Zhao Xi and others in: "I will take you to see the mayor!"
The roads in the town are in disrepair, and there are no pedestrians in the town. There are very few shops on both sides of the street, and some of them are closed.
Perhaps disturbed by their footsteps, there were figures moving behind many doors and windows. These townspeople were hiding in hidden places, looking at the players passing by on the road with suspicious eyes.
Although he knew that they were all NPCs, being followed all the way by such eyes made even the careless Fang Xu feel uncomfortable. An Xiaohai cursed secretly many times.
Zhao Xi pretended to be casual and asked: "Pastor Du Wei, why are all the people here hiding?"
Du Wei smiled bitterly and said: "You should know that our Chenxi Town was attacked by shadow wolves some time ago. In fact, the harassment of shadow wolves has not stopped yet. There are more than a dozen residents in the town missing. Now everyone is missing even during the day.
Don’t dare to come out.”
Zhao Xi asked: "Then why don't you hide in Blackstone Castle?"
Du Wei shook his head: "Without the lord's permission, we cannot move to the city. Blackstone Castle cannot accommodate more residents. Besides, this is their home, and no one wants to leave unless they have to."
Zhao Xi said: "That's why I'm here!"
While we were talking, the mayor's home arrived.
The mayor's house was one of the tallest buildings in this town, but the doors and windows were closed. Du Wei knocked on the door for a long time before a fat man with a sad face opened the door cautiously.
This was the mayor of Chenxi Town. When he heard the intention of Zhao Xi and others, he became happy and immediately welcomed everyone into the living room and asked the maid to bring tea and snacks.
Zhao Xi said straight to the point: "Mr. Mayor, we are here under the order of Lord Anlan. The warrant is here. Can you mobilize ten soldiers, archers and hunters to help us destroy the shadow wolf?"
What Zhao Xi didn't expect was that the fat mayor actually looked embarrassed for this, which in his opinion was a small request.
