System prompt: Please help Nymeria find her father's body so that the heroic spirit can be buried in peace.
Then the task of helping the NPC to retrieve my father's body immediately appeared in my taskbar. Unexpectedly, through a conversation with the NPC, I actually negotiated a task.
Although the system did not indicate the difficulty of the task, I knew that this task must not be easy, because Nymeria failed to provide me with any valuable clues, so although the task was obtained, I had no clue about it, so I had to temporarily put it aside. Put aside the task and focus on doing another thing first.
In previous conversations, Nymeria mentioned the war at Black Blood Castle many times. If nothing else happens, the real battle at Black Blood Castle should not have officially started yet. The NPCs only mentioned some peripheral wars, because as a An important plot of a game, the Black Blood Castle war system cannot prevent players from participating in it.
What I urgently need to know now is how far the Battle of Black Blood Castle has progressed, and when the real decisive battle will begin, so that I can lead the guild members to make some targeted preparations in advance.
More importantly, I believe that NPCs in the Black Blood Castle area must have released many tasks waiting for players to explore.
I immediately opened the big map to search for the location of Black Blood Castle, only to find that the entire west side of Lingyun City was shrouded in thick black fog. Except for a small area within my field of vision, I could not see anything on the map at all.
So I had no choice but to turn to the official website of the game, hoping that the omnipotent official website and player forums could provide me with some valuable information.
In the end, I only found this paragraph of introduction on the official website.
Black Blood Castle is an important military fortress established by the Evil Alliance in the west of Lingyun City. It is the outpost where the Evil Alliance attempts to attack Lingyun City. In the era of the Pale Yellow Continent, Black Blood Castle was once a very important city in the human empire. The orc tribe betrayed the Holy Spirit. After the alliance, this human city was completely destroyed during the siege of the evil alliance army. Later, the undead built the famous Black Blood Castle on the ruins of this city.
This is the origin of Black Blood Castle.
Through the above text, I can at least confirm one thing. The Black Blood Castle is indeed located in the west of Lingyun City. As for the specific location, I need to slowly explore it.
I took on the spirit of an archaeologist and downloaded a world map of the Canghuang game on the Internet through the Internet function configured in the system, and then compared the world map of the Canghuang continent with the current world map of the Glory continent.
Lingyun City was located in the territory of the Kelan Kingdom of Canghuang Continent at that time. According to the map, it can be basically determined that there were two relatively important cities in the west of the current Lingyun City at that time, one of which was the second-level main city of China at that time, Gravel City. The other one was the Crazy City where the murderous maniacs later built their guild. According to information circulated on the Internet, in the late Can Huang period, the murderous maniacs built their guild territory into a tenth-level city that was no less than a second-level main city.
Gravel City and Mad Demon City are located in the northwest and the southwest of Lingyun City. The two cities are no longer in the same direction, but they may both be the current Black Blood Castle.
I typed in the keyword Gravel City and searched again, hoping to find some clues from the vast amount of information on the Internet. However, there were actually thousands of information on the Internet with the keyword Gravel City. Of course, many of them must be related to Rubble City. It has nothing to do with Shicheng. Baidu is so powerful. I have no choice but to look at them one by one. This is better than blindly looking for them.
In the end, Lin Jieran scolded me severely, saying that I had no brains. Lingyun City arranged for so many people to fight in the Black Blood Castle area. The daily consumption can be imagined. NPCs must regularly transport war there. Regarding supplies, keep an eye on the NPC's supply convoy and follow them all the way to see if you can find the Black Blood Castle.
I patted my head, it makes sense, why didn’t I think of it.
The supply truck in the city leaves every few days. I believe Nymeria, as the captain of the West City school, must know very well when to leave. All you have to do is ask him about this matter.
So I immediately returned to the city with the mission items, and while preparing to submit the mission items to the NPC in exchange for reputation points, I also asked about the supply truck.
The next moment, I submitted 500 quest items, the Ghost's Cloak, to Nymeria, and received 20,000 reputation points. At the same time, I received a system prompt to increase my friendship with the NPC by 10.
"Excuse me, the kingdom's war supplies to Black Blood Castle are shipped approximately every few days. When do they leave the city each time?" When receiving the mission reward, I asked by the way, thinking about it in my mind. It increased 10 points of friendship, npc You should be able to answer me.
"You want to accept the task of transporting supplies, right? I heard that the Quartermaster is worried about this matter. You can go to him to try your luck," Nymeria replied.
Her words were enough. I immediately left the west of the city and headed to the military camp in the south city. In war years, adventurers were definitely a force that the authorities needed to unite with, so the soldiers guarding the gate were much more polite to me. After questioning me carefully, I He let me in and enthusiastically showed me the way so that I wouldn't have trouble finding the military quarters office in the military camp.
The quartermaster was a thin old man wearing thick bottle-bottomed glasses. He greeted me enthusiastically before I could speak: "Young adventurer, you are the adventurer introduced by Nymeria to accept the task of escorting the supply truck. "
I was shocked. I had just come from Nymeria, and I didn’t expect that the other party knew about this in advance. nnd Could this guy have a good ear?
"Exactly, sir," I replied respectfully.
The npc nodded: "Very good. It is precisely because of a group of passionate young people like you in the empire that we have the confidence to win the war with those evil undead. I happen to have a batch of supplies here to be transported to the Black Cavalry camp north of Black Blood Castle. , I would like you to take a trip for me now,"
"Ding~,"
System prompts: Do you want to accept the task [Escorting Materials]?
As luck would have it, there was indeed a mission available, so I immediately chose to accept it.
"Ding~,"
System prompt: You accept the task [Escort Supplies] (current task difficulty is 3200). The task content is to accept Quartermaster White's request to safely escort a batch of war supplies to the Black Cavalry camp north of Black Blood Castle. It is required to ensure at least 80 % of the supplies are safely transported to the designated location. After completing the task, you will receive generous rewards. Special reminder: This trip may be dangerous, so you'd better find a few more helpers to go with you. The maximum number of people sharing the task is 6.
Unexpectedly, this is a mission that can be shared. In order to ensure the success of the mission, I decided to form a team of six people to go together, and all six people must be elite soldiers.
So I immediately sent messages to Lin Jieran, Yunyun, Wanxi, Yaxin and Pi Tangzhang respectively, asking them to join me at the military camp south of the city to complete this task together.
Originally it should have been called Yu Jian Xun Xiang or A Broken Lamp, but considering that the two beauties Yunyun and Wan Xi have such a good relationship and are always inseparable, it would be difficult for the team to lack a priest like Wan Xi, so I had to call them I also brought this with me.
When I heard that there were tasks to be done, several people rushed over immediately. I created a team and pulled them into the team one by one, and then shared the tasks with them.
Then the npc hooked up the carriage and we set off. There were ten carriages, each with a full load of goods on it. They were covered with black oilcloth. I don’t know what it was. In short, it was not light. Four wheels were used to pull the carriage. As the car drove toward the west gate from Nancheng Street, the wheels pressed against the bluestone street, making a crunching sound.
It can be seen that the military strength in Lingyun City is indeed very tight now. In addition to the driver who is responsible for driving the carriage, there are only six of us in our convoy responsible for escorting and escorting along the way. The Military Supplies Department has not assigned us even one NPC soldier. Assistance means that if we encounter any difficulties on the road, we will have to solve them ourselves.
As soon as the convoy left Ximen Bridge, the bloodthirsty ghosts outside the city immediately surrounded us, apparently trying to rob our supplies and vehicles.
I couldn't help but frown. I was attacked as soon as I stepped out. This was definitely not a good sign. The 3200-point mission difficulty was indeed no joke.
The ghosts were very fast, and they were in front of the car in a blink of an eye. I immediately told Yunyun to protect Wanxi and Yaxin in cloth armor, and then quickly swung the ice dragon halberd to kill them first.
Lin Jingran was unequivocal, holding his sharp sword and quickly locked onto the bloodthirsty ghost blocking the way in front of him and launched a charge.
The driver who was driving the carriage was very experienced and quickly gathered the convoy together and formed a circle with Wanxi, Yaxin and Yunyun in the center of the convoy. The driver and horses were also hidden inside, so that even if the enemy suddenly launched a sneak attack from other directions. , it is not easy to break through the defense of the car formation.
With a "bang," the Green Wolf King directly knocked over a bloodthirsty ghost in front of him, but the opponent was a mindless undead and could not be stunned.
Before the unlucky ghost could stand up again, I immediately raised my hand and blasted out the Ice Flame Slash. At the same time, I immediately lit up Xiao Hei's skill "Sky Rain of Needles". I didn't care about all that, and took the first step to kill these bloodthirsty ghosts. Let’s talk about cutting off the Qi and blood.
Almost at the same time that I fired the Ice Flame Slash, a piece of ice cone fell on the group of monsters in front of me, and Yaxin's group attack magic began to work.
Then, Lin Jingran appeared next to me and quickly used the war trample skill.
Before Baihua Queen Bee understood the group attack skills, she flew buzzingly to the head of a bloodthirsty ghost with residual blood. The stinger on her butt quickly swept out two consecutive attacks, knocking out nearly 7,000 points of blood from the bloodthirsty ghost.
The next moment, the counterattacks of the four or five bloodthirsty ghosts in front of me fell on me almost simultaneously. Dozens of clear scratches were left on my breastplate instantly, and four or five injuries were sustained on my forehead. The numbers, vitality and blood suddenly dropped by nearly ten thousand points in an instant.
I am still a few hundred points short of reaching 20,000 points of health, and now I have lost half of it in one fell swoop. My face turned livid with fear. There are no NPC soldiers around to help distract the monsters from attacking. I really can't bear it.
