Faced with such contempt from the middle-aged soldier, Lu Xuehan had a good temper and just smiled. If it were Murong Shanshan, she might have exploded.
I walked up and asked the old pastor: "Teacher, please tell me what happened here. We saw someone being killed on a wooden stake on the road outside the town. What happened?"
The old priest was stunned and said sadly: "Della has not escaped the fate of being killed. I have told the child long ago that undead creatures are inhumane. How can running away and surrendering have a good result?"
The middle-aged soldier spat and said: "Dela escaped before the battle, and his death was not unjust! Teacher, what should we do next? The two adventurers you trust are already here. Do you want to open the town gate and lead the villagers?
Return to Silvermoon City to request reinforcements?"
The old priest shook his head: "The regular army of Silver Moon City has already resisted the undead invasion at the fortress. They are helpless to the small group of undead here. They can only rely on some mercenaries and adventurers to eradicate it. Therefore, even if we send a message to Silver Moon,
We can only let them put this task on a cheap bounty card, which is of no use to us. What I want now is to send these townspeople to a safe place!"
Lu Xuehan said to me with a smile: "Our station is a very safe place. No undead dare to go there. If an undead appears in the station, it will definitely be killed by so many players immediately!"
I laughed, but the old pastor next to me brightened up and asked, "Can you really provide a place for these townspeople?"
Lu Xuehan nodded and said: "Of course, but..."
The old priest was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter. Each of these townspeople has mastered certain skills. I believe they will each play their own role in your settlement!"
"Ding~!"
The long-lost mission reminder is here!
System prompt: Do you want to accept the old pastor’s commission?
After another "ding", the task content came out: protect the townspeople of Yongye Town to reach your guild's station safely. The task reward is reduced by 5% for each town citizen who dies. When the number of dead townspeople exceeds half of the total,
If the mission fails, 5,000 reputation points will be deducted! The mission time limit is 300 minutes!
Lu Xuehan looked at me in surprise and said, "If the mission fails, 5,000 reputation points will be deducted! I have never seen such a mission!"
I smiled and said, "Of course, you have killed so many people, it would be nice if your reputation is not wiped out!"
At this time, the old priest urged: "Should we set off now? These dirty ghouls outside the town cannot block our way forward."
I looked at the townspeople and inspected the goods first. Their names also showed their professions: "Senior Blacksmith Hans", "Senior Pharmacist Di Fu", "Intermediate Tailor Saroo", "Senior Armor Maker"
Kailin" and so on, almost all of them are good auxiliary NPCs, and their auxiliary skill levels are not low.
I was immediately overjoyed and said to the little girl next to me: "Xuehan, our guild has become more prosperous now! If these NPCs can all reach the guild headquarters smoothly, then we can save a lot of money! Just a senior
It would cost millions for pharmacists to purchase from the system, and there are at least five senior pharmacists here!"
Lu Xuehan chuckled: "So, our mission must be completed!"
I looked at the mission level, Legend level, and suddenly felt a little unsure. Logically speaking, with such a generous reward, it would be enough to reach the Legend level. However, along the way, the only thing that seemed to hinder us was the zombies outside the town.
They are a group of ghosts. To put it bluntly, their power is simply not up to the legendary level!
Could it be that there will be other obstacles on the road?
I don’t want to think about it anymore. Let’s talk about it after we leave!
I opened the small door and said, "I'll clean up these ghouls and kill them all before you come out!"
The middle-aged soldier immediately said in surprise: "Can you alone resist these ghouls with sharp claws?"
"Haha~~" I laughed dryly but did not answer.
My appearance was undoubtedly an extra piece of fresh meat for the ghouls outside, so they rushed over, biting them with sharp claws and teeth. My orange armor had just been repaired, and its durability was full.
, there is no need to worry, and although the attack of these ghouls is as high as 2500, they cannot really break through my defense. The highest attack value is less than 100 points of damage.
Behind me, Lu Xuehan also started to release fire-based group spells. Although the attack was not as powerful as Xu Lin's, it still burned the ghouls in agony. Ghouls that lingered in the sea of fire for up to two minutes would also die.
My attacks are powerful enough to kill these level 100 high-level ghouls in three to five hits, and the black ice sword that explodes from time to time is like a baptism of war, able to clear out a large area of half-battered ghouls. Level 10
The activation probability of the Black Ice Sword is greatly improved. The surface data is 27%. After receiving the RP bonus, it can reach about 10%. Basically, one Black Ice Sword can be brought out every ten attacks, which also makes our killing
The monster's speed is greatly increased.
In the past two hours, the mouth of the middle-aged soldier behind him directly turned into an O shape. He probably never thought that there would be a human being who could withstand the crazy bites of the ghouls without relying on a shield, and it was obvious that the man in front of him
This young adventurer is generally immune to the physical attacks of ghouls, and he kills ghouls extremely cleanly.
When the Sword of Warsong chopped down the last ghoul from above, I turned around and said, "Okay, everyone can set off!"
The mission time is only 300 minutes. If we cannot deliver these townspeople to the Lost Paradise within these five hours, we will still get nothing. The journey from here to Lost Paradise is almost an hour, which we have just spent
Two hours, which means that if we encounter another enemy on the road, we only have two hours to delay!
The middle-aged soldier carefully stretched out his head to look at the situation outside, then fully opened the town's gate, turned around and said to many townspeople: "The soldiers from Silver Moon City have helped us open the passage to the Source of Life.
Everyone, hurry up and pack your simple luggage, we are going to hit the road!"
Things immediately started to get busy. Almost every town citizen ran into their dilapidated houses and came out carrying various items. When I saw this situation, I became anxious and quickly ran up to grab the blacksmith's hand and asked: "
Uncle, can you carry such a big smelting furnace? Just throw it away, I will have someone build another one for you when you get to the station!"
The blacksmith immediately rolled his eyes and said: "This stove is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation. It is also a symbol of my iron family. How can I just throw it away?"
Damn it, or a family heirloom?
I immediately appraised it and found that this stove can indeed increase the equipment building effect and success rate by 25%. Forget it, just keep it. This thing is a rare treasure that can only be found. It may be the equipment of the Lost Paradise station in the future.
Building a business will make you famous all over the world!
There was another old man dragging a pile of wooden boards next to him, and there was also a young man helping. I hurriedly asked: "Old man, what are you dragging these wooden boards for?"
The old man said leisurely: "Young man, you don't understand this. I am used to sleeping on this pear wood plank bed. If I change it, I won't be able to sleep well."
I just felt like my mind was buzzing with chaos. The reason why this mission is legendary is probably for this reason. These people are dragging their families with them. Let alone two hours, I'm afraid it won't even be four hours.
Able to reach the station of Lost Paradise.
Seeing me looking like I was about to hit a wall, Lu Xuehan couldn't help but smile and said: "How about we negotiate with them and see if we can give up something?"
I nodded, walked over and said to the old priest: "Teacher, you see, if we are in the current situation, we will definitely not be able to move fast, and we will be caught up by those nasty ghouls, and everyone will have to finish playing. You should help convince the townspeople."
Well, I promise that after arriving at the station, they will be given a brand new living environment, and all the tools will be provided for them!"
The old pastor was dubious: "Can you really provide them with everything they need for their work?"
I said: "Of course, how can I make you believe it?"
After thinking about it for a moment, the old priest said, "Well, you can distribute some gold coins to them first, so that they will feel at ease and not carry those extra things."
"Damn, is it the settlement fee?"
Lu Xuehan smiled slightly and said: "Wow, there are actually demolition fees. Do NPCs have to be top households these days?"
I was a little embarrassed and said: "Um... Xuehan, I've been short of money recently and don't have any gold coins. Do you have any?"
Lu Xuehan blinked and asked with a smile: "How much do you want?"
I turned around and counted the number of NPCs. There were about 100 in total, so I said, "Each person will be given 100 gold coins. In this case, we will need 10,000. Do you have any?"
Lu Xuehan smiled and said: "Originally, I didn't, but last time Sister Lin and Xin Yu practiced leveling with me, all the gold coins they got were given to me. Well, now I have more than 30,000 gold coins, so I'll give you 20,000!"
I hurriedly said: "No, just give me fifteen thousand. You can spend the money to buy the blue medicine yourself. Besides, there will definitely be a gold coin reward after completing this task. I will have money by then~"
Lu Xuehan didn't say much, and directly traded me 15,000 gold coins. I walked up to the old pastor and said, "Is it okay to distribute 100 gold coins to each person?"
The old pastor said in surprise: "So many? Enough, enough~~"
Only then did I remember that in this setting, all common people circulated were copper coins or silver coins. As for gold coins, they should be considered high-end goods. 100 gold coins are enough for a civilian family to live for N years!
But now that the words have been spoken, it is difficult to take them back, so the system quickly deducted more than 10,000 gold coins from my package. The townspeople who got the money only brought simple items that they could carry with them, but the blacksmith
Rather rogue, he still refused to put down the furnace after receiving the money. In the end, he had to let the middle-aged soldier carry the furnace. He was still young and strong, and he could not walk very slowly carrying such a thing.
So a group of people filed out of the town gate. Two players, four combat NPCs, and more than 100 NPC civilians. It was a huge crowd. There were layers of ghoul corpses on the ground outside the town.
, bloody and bloody, and some of the severed limbs even twitched occasionally, frightening the children among the townspeople to cry.
Passing by the stone guardrail, broken clothes and silver armor that had been broken into two pieces were scattered on the ground. They were the relics left by the soldier who died to protect us. Everyone stopped and the old priest held up the armor and burst into tears.
After praying for a few minutes, he ordered everyone to move on.
Not long after, an open field appeared on the side of the road, where shocking wooden piles were still erected, and the corpses stuck on the wooden piles had begun to emit a putrid smell. The old priest frowned and said: "Dela
The sin is unforgivable, but we cannot allow his body to be exposed to the sunlight that should be holy."
The middle-aged soldier nodded and said: "Teacher, please send Della back to the land!"
The old priest nodded and said nothing. After about half a minute, a scorching fireball began to condense in his hand, and the condensation became larger and larger. Eventually, the townspeople who were close to the fire had to retreat. Seeing that the fireball had taken shape, the old priest groaned,
The fireball flew away from the hand, hit the top of the wooden pile with a bang, and burned violently like an exploding gasoline bomb, making a "crackling~" sound.
In the blink of an eye, half of the wooden pile was reduced to ashes along with the body. When the wind blew, it was all scattered into powder and fell into the soil of the field. It was considered ashes to ashes and soil to soil.
The old pastor prayed silently again, and then ordered everyone to move on. But I was extremely anxious. If I continued to delay like this, the day lilies might be cold by the time we arrived at the station.
Seemingly sensing my concerns, the old priest smiled slightly and said loudly: "Everyone, hurry up and move forward. The damn undead will come who knows when. They are not just ghouls!"
The middle-aged soldier asked in surprise: "Teacher, besides ghouls, are there any other species of the undead?"
The old priest nodded and said with a solemn expression: "Ghouls, like skeleton warriors, are just the lowest level of the army of the undead. The corrosive power of the undead will is far more than that. There are crypt demons and evil necromancers hidden underground.
There are also undead banshees with beautiful voices and compact figures. They were once beautiful elves. After becoming servants of the undead, these banshees have more powerful abilities to enchant. Once human warriors are lost in the tenderness of the banshees, they will
Will be occupied and lose everything including body and soul!"
The middle-aged soldier couldn't help but wonder: "Are banshees that powerful? I once heard that the Bright Knight of Silvermoon City once killed four high-level banshees..."
The old priest couldn't help but laugh and said: "The Bright Knight, blessed by the light magic of the Magister, is naturally not afraid of the banshee's charm, but we are not. People with weak mental resistance may lose their minds after seeing the banshee."
I thought to myself, from this point of view, Banshee should be on the same level as Murong Shanshan and Lu Xuehan. They both belong to the type that makes people unable to walk after just one look. The difference is that Murong Shanshan and Lu Xuehan
It relies on its beautiful and charming appearance, while the banshee can only rely on its breasts and buttocks to display its seductive skills.
The old priest sighed again: "The power of the undead hidden in the darkness, no one knows how much strength they have yet to show. They aim to destroy everything. It is really terrible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pathfinder soldier ran over in front of him. With a look of horror on his face, he pointed to the forest on the right and gasped: "Teacher, a large number of undead troops have appeared there!"
The old priest was surprised: "Is it a ghoul?"
The soldier shook his head: "It's not a ghoul, it's a creature that crawls slowly on the ground, like a large spider. Moreover, there are many black shadows in the sky. My eyesight cannot identify them, but they move very fast.
, it will reach us in a few minutes!”
The old priest was shocked. He looked back at the townspeople behind him. At this time, he was already in a dilemma. If he moved forward, he might collide with the undead army. If he retreated, it might be even worse. Those flying things in the sky.
No one knows what it is, but it must be very fast, and these unarmed townspeople will definitely be annihilated.
I saw that the leader, the pastor, was also hesitating, and I couldn't help but feel a little angry. In any case, if I don't make a decision now, I will just sit back and wait for death.
So I immediately pulled out the Sword of War Song, walked to the front and said, "I'm going to attract the attention of the undead troops. You go around the woods, but pay attention to this forest. There is a large group of iron-spurred porcupines living in it!"
The old priest looked at the dense forest next to him and nodded, saying, "Then be careful. We have passed through the woods and will wait for you at the station!"
After saying that, the old pastor organized people to quickly cut down the thorns on the roadside and walked directly through the woods.
I looked forward and said to Lu Xuehan: "Xuehan, follow the townspeople and protect their safety along the way. You must not let any NPC die!"
Lu Xuehan shook her head and said: "No, I have to follow you, otherwise you will be bitten to death by a ghoul!"
I was speechless for a while but with a sense of relief, so I quickly summoned Hongye, who had not been used for a long time. She was wearing a green priest's robe. As soon as she was summoned, she said with a smile: "Brother, you are finally willing to let Hongye out for air."
La!"
I didn't have time to tease her, so I ordered directly: "Hongye, you must follow the townspeople to retreat, and you must ensure safety!"
Hongye looked at the situation, nodded immediately, and then quickly followed the old priest.
Looking at Hongye's figure, I couldn't help but wonder: "Xuehan, Hongye is much more obedient than you!"
Lu Xuehan smiled slightly and said: "Red leaves are red leaves, I am me...ah!"
