Zhao Xi, who had been brutally stabbed, was about to step out of the blacksmith shop when the tauren blacksmith's rough and hoarse voice suddenly came from behind him: "Please wait a moment!"
Zhao Xi's heart moved, he couldn't help but stop, turned around and asked: "Excuse me, is there anything else?"
Generally speaking, when an NPC takes the initiative to talk to the player, it means triggering a plot mission or a random mission.
However, special conditions are required to trigger the mission. Rather than depending on the player's luck, he guessed that the 10 points of favorability among all the tauren he had just obtained played a role.
This tauren blacksmith is more than two meters tall and has an extremely strong physique. His body is muscular, and his bronze skin is smeared with thick grease. He is strong enough to put any fighting nation to shame.
It held a black hammer in its left hand, touched its tawny beard with many braids in its right hand, and said angrily: "I have an apprentice, Bronzebeard, who left the camp two days ago to search for ore in the mountains, and he has not come back yet."
"I'm very worried about its safety, but as the only blacksmith in the camp, I can't leave here. If you are willing, can you help me find it?"
System prompt: Do you want to accept the mission of the tauren blacksmith Wildhammer to find his missing apprentice?
It is indeed a random mission!
Zhao Xi pondered for a moment and did not answer immediately.
If it were on the main plane or other independent planes, then he would not hesitate at all and take over the task immediately. But now he is burdened with a super high PK value, and the most important thing is to clean up the red name. First of all, he must consider
own safety.
Having tasks is naturally a good thing, but it also means greater risks.
Seeing Zhao Xi's hesitation, the tauren blacksmith became a little anxious. He glared at the ox and said, "We tauren will never let those who help us suffer. As long as you help me find Bronzebeard, I can help you upgrade your battle."
shield!"
Upgrade your battle shield!
Zhao Xi's eyes suddenly lit up.
His Blade of Destiny and Divine Power Ax were all obtained through upgrades, so he is very aware of the benefits that upgrading weapons can bring. However, upgrading equipment in "Glory" is not an easy task. You have to spend a lot of precious materials to pass it.
Use specific NPCs to try your luck, or rely on triggering tasks to obtain upgrade rewards.
The success rate of the latter is far higher than that of the former. You must not miss it if you encounter it!
Zhao Xi's Bloodthirsty War Shield was originally a set with the Bloodthirsty War Blade. After the Bloodthirsty War Blade was upgraded to the Blade of Destiny, it can be said that the Bloodthirsty War Shield is no longer worthy of this legendary weapon.
He originally planned to save a sum of money to buy a good battle shield, but if he could upgrade it now, it would be the best.
This time Zhao Xi did not hesitate: "Okay!"
He immediately confirmed the mission.
Wildhammer took a long breath, causing his mustache to fly: "Then please leave as soon as possible. I always have an uneasy feeling. Something will happen to that boy!"
Zhao Xi nodded and asked: "Master Wildhammer, do you have Bronzebeard's belongings here?"
Wildhammer grabbed a necklace hanging on the wall and threw it to Zhao Xi: "This is a lucky thing that each of us tauren has. He forgot to bring it with him when he went out to mine this time, so I am especially
Worry."
Zhao Xi took it and took a look and found that this so-called lucky thing was a seven-hole fang, but the end of the fang was drilled and strung with a thin hemp rope, which could barely be regarded as a necklace.
Chain of seven-hole fangs, mission item.
He put away the necklace and said to Wildhammer: "I will do my best to get Bronzebeard back!"
After bidding farewell to the worried tauren blacksmith, Zhao Xi did not rush to leave the bloody camp to search for the missing blacksmith apprentice Bronzebeard in the mountains. Instead, he went to a nearby tavern first.
After playing in "Glory" for less than two months, plus studying during the day, Zhao Xi's understanding of this virtual game is no less than that of ordinary professional players.
For a mission like this that lacks enough clues, it is undoubtedly very stupid to go directly into the mountains to find the missing person. Usually only novices make such mistakes.
If you want to find Bronzebeard, you will definitely not be able to rely on a needle-in-a-haystack search. You must first look for any useful clues in the camp, and the tavern is where all kinds of information gather.
There is only one tavern in the bloody camp. It occupies a large house made of rough wood and stones. It doesn't even have a signboard name, and it has a very rough and primitive style.
Pushing open the heavy door, the scene inside the tavern can be seen at a glance.
The tavern is not large in area. There are more than ten or twenty wooden wine tables inside, and the stools with polished stones look very simple. What is shocking is that the bar on the right is actually made of large pieces.
Made of bones, the bearded tauren bartender carries a large bucket with one hand and pours wine into wooden cups.
Two big and thick tauren aunts, holding seven or eight wine glasses with both hands, moved their waists thicker than buckets and walked between the wine tables to deliver wine to the guests. Their huge breasts crushed the heads of the guests from time to time.
And pass!
Of course, for customers, this is definitely not enjoyment, but no one dares to stand up and protest.
There are at least thirty famous players in the tavern, including warriors, dragon knights, thieves, archers, mages, wizards... Zhao Xi even saw a priest!
The Fallen Abyss plane does not restrict camps, and it is extremely difficult to encounter them under normal circumstances. Players from the two camps who are enemies of life and death lived in peace in this tavern, and there were even players sitting at the same wine table.
.
This is the law of the bloody camp. No one can cause trouble or fight. If you don't want to die, you must obey the rules.
While Zhao Xi was sizing up these players who were in the same situation as himself, those players were also looking at him with scrutiny and vigilance.
Zhao Xi suddenly found that the thief who had scolded him before was sitting in the corner of the tavern. The latter had a sneer on his face and a look of provocation in his eyes.
I saw him whispering a few words to the two companions next to him, and then the group burst into laughter.
"Silly b!"
Zhao Xi glanced at the thief with disdain, walked straight to the bar and sat down.
He reached out and knocked on the kitchen countertop and said, "Please give me a glass of ale."
"A glass of ale costs five silver coins!" the tauren bartender said gruffly.
So dark!
Zhao Xi took out five gold coins and threw them on it: "A glass of ale, and I want to inquire about someone?"
If you are on the main plane or other independent planes, you can ask the bartender in the tavern for information at most one gold coin. Unless the information is very important or special, you won't need so much money at all.
But it's different here. Everything is several times or even ten times more expensive, so asking for information is no exception.
The tauren bartender glanced at the gold coins on the bar, and an ugly smile appeared on the tauren's face: "Who do you want to know about?"
"Bronzebeard, the apprentice of Wildhammer, the blacksmith in your camp, I heard that he has been missing in the past two days?"
The tauren bartender waved his hand and swept away all the gold coins on the table: "I don't know about Bronzebeard."
How could he take the money so readily even if he didn’t know the news? Zhao Xi almost jumped up.
Fortunately, the tauren bartender immediately said: "If you want to know about it, you can ask Bronzebeard's best friend Tiedan. You should be able to find it by the mud pond east of the camp."
Well, finally the money was not wasted!
Zhao Xi resisted the urge to vomit blood and took the ale the bartender had just poured for him.
He drank the entire glass of ale in one breath, wiped his mouth and prepared to leave.
But a soldier appeared next to Zhao Xi, blocking his way intentionally or unintentionally.
"Friend, do you have a mission?"
The soldier asked with a smile, and tried to look kind and straightforward: "Do you need help?"
According to the system settings, Zhao Xi spends money to buy information from NPCs, and no one else can hear it unless they are players in the same group and team.
However, experienced players can easily distinguish between normal conversations and task exchanges through the interaction between the two.
"unnecessary..."
Zhao Xi said calmly: "Please give way, you are blocking my way."
"Good dog, stay out of the way!"
