Chapter 407 406 New Treasure Hunt Plan The Legacy of the Bone-Gripping King
Chapter 407 406. New treasure hunt plan·The legacy of the Bone-Gripping King
Dawn is coming soon.
When the first ray of sunlight shines into the mountain forest, under the expectant gaze of the Valander knight, Happy Stick, who was kicked by the terrifying horse's hooves and covered with injuries, rides a majestic shadow-maned war horse under the gaze of other brothers who are also disgraced.
He stepped out of the mist proudly and stood on top of the holy pool in the forest.
The spring water extending from the top of the mountain reflects the early morning light, like a layer of glowing battle clothes for these warriors who have just completed the cavalry examination. It is very gorgeous.
Little Earl Sharon also came here before the ceremony started.
After all, the Hussars are her family's "private property" according to the legal system. However, when they saw the particularly majestic war horse under Happy Stick's crotch, the expressions of the young Earl of Sharon and the Knight of Wallander changed. Obviously, Stick
The identity of this old horse that I tamed with more than a dozen broken bones is not ordinary.
Not only the hussar captain and Sharon, but also some mountain folk elders started whispering when they saw the horse.
"this is not"
The Eagle Knight shouted, while the Sunny Knight next to him whispered:
"Yes, you read that right, it's the 'Shadow King'! The old earl's war horse, the lord of the Shadow Mane War Horse, is also the mount of every head of the Xikomail family. It must have had a premonition of the rise of the Xikoland!
This makes it willing to obey others and dedicate its strength to its second hometown!
Ah, the Shadow King's loyalty is still shining brightly even after four hundred years of hard work.
Its return is a symbol!
There is no doubt about this, the Sicomaire family and the Hussars will surely rise again!"
"Damn it! Brother Bang is awesome! Your horse is bigger than ours! It's so cool."
All the tiger and leopard riding brothers successfully tamed the shadow-maned horse. They celebrated happily, but when they rode their newly tamed shadow-maned horses forward, the horses would take the initiative to bow their heads in front of the Shadow King.
This tribute scene further highlighted Happy Stick's leadership status among this group of people, which made him even more satisfied, so he added three more carrots to his new war horse.
However, the kind-hearted Ju Shark Uncle and several other unlucky brothers returned empty-handed, and they were somewhat disappointed. But this kind of contract is not a one-time deal, and they can try again after three days.
There are three opportunities in total. If they fail, it means that they are really not suitable for the hussar profession.
Watching Happy Stick riding the Shadow King towards the woodland altar, little Earl Sharon's eyes were filled with emotion. She seemed to have seen her father's heroic appearance when he was riding the Shadow King to patrol the territory, but Brother Bang and his father were completely different.
The type brought Sharon back to reality.
The little earl just watched quietly and did not take any other action until the blessing of the forest was completely applied to the warriors.
This is the final step in the hussar trials.
The Vulture Knight said from the beginning that the winged cavalry is not a mere mortal unit. Part of the combat effectiveness of this cavalry team comes from the blessing of the woodland spirit.
This ritual is of course sacred to the indigenous NPCs, but for the players it is equivalent to obtaining a permanently enhanced BUFF.
However, in order to take care of the emotions of the surrounding NPCs and increase the sense of immersion, several people who obtained the shadow-maned war horses jumped off the horses according to Knight Sunny's command and knelt down half-kneeling by the most sacred pool in the Ancestral Grove.
The elders wearing antler masks held wooden bowls and chanted ancient songs while fetching water from the sunlit holy pool and handing it to them.
As long as you drink this glass of water, you will receive the blessings of the spirits of the mountains and forests.
For others the process is easy.
But Brother Bang is a bit troublesome. He is a vampire and is almost ignited in such a blazing morning sun.
This will have you holding on through gritted teeth.
But the powder like fly ash emanating from his body means that his condition is really bad at the moment.
"drink!"
Knight Wallander also knew that he could not wait any longer, so he simply skipped the long speech he had prepared and gave an order for the recruits to drink the blessed water together.
The moment the water entered the entrance, it turned into a strange gas that filled his body, just like inflating a balloon, causing the bodies of all players, including Happy Stick, to begin to "inflate."
There is a jumping prompt on their character interface:
[‘Spirit of the Forest/Avalon’s War Trampling’ has been obtained!
The blessed person's strength +2, endurance +2, dexterity +1, and perception +1.
This blessing effect will only take effect when you are close to natural terrain such as woodlands, grasslands, and jungles and ride a shadowmane war horse.
The talent acquired by the blessed is [Mountain Folk: Your body shape is closer to that of a descendant of the mountain folk, your defense judgment will be +1 when subjected to physical attacks, and you will gain natural resistance x2 of your current level.]
The talent of the Blessed is obtained as [Trampling Hooves: When you perform a charge action as a hussar in your preferred terrain, it will be accompanied by [War Trampling] and [Never Defeated] status, morale is locked, and the collision success rate +
3!
The talent acquired by the Blessed is [Contempt of the Half-Giant: When your target size is smaller than the combined size of you and the Shadowmane Warhorse, the opponent's probability of being stunned and knocked away by the charge +3, and when performing the charge action.
The opponent applies the [Panic] effect.]
】
"Damn it! This increase!"
Although players all know that the Winged Cavalry is the "champion unit" of Transia, they really didn't expect that the Winged Cavalry will come with so many BUFFs and three new talents that are so practical that it makes people feel numb after they successfully change their profession.
Although the prerequisite for these talents to take effect is that they must be in the "naturally preferred terrain", such restrictions are nothing compared to the professional characteristics of the Hussar.
"I finally understand why 500 hussars charging together can easily tear apart the front line of 20,000 gnolls. This profession is simply born for charging and trampling."
Brother Bang said with emotion in the team channel:
"Quick, quick, quick! Quickly take a screenshot and post this awesome talent to the forum. Mr. Murphy gave me a cavalry establishment of 300 people. We can't make it up just by recruiting old brothers in reality. It must be absorbed from the outside.
Fresh blood and such awesome professional characteristics can definitely attract a strong group of people."
"6! Already posting."
The tiger and leopard rider Lin next to him made an OK gesture.
He had a hunch that this post about the decryption of the Hussars would definitely cause an uproar on the forum.
The super characteristics of this advanced profession have already crushed a series of advanced professions that have been discovered so far. It is worthy of being the "champion unit" of Transia. This level of strength must be obtained! Unfortunately, it is too difficult to change the hussar's profession.
Taller.
Judging from the punishment they have suffered in the past twenty-five days, it is estimated that most players will not be able to persist.
After all, everyone plays games for fun, so there is really no need to torture yourself like this.
And although the professional characteristics of the hussar are awesome, if you ask a hussar to challenge a tomb swordsman in the middle of the night, he may not be able to win.
The advantage of this thing lies in the indestructible ability to break formations brought by the superposition of characteristics during group combat. It does not have many advantages in single combat or duel scenarios. Therefore, from this point of view, the development team’s professional balance has not been done so far.
It's still quite good.
After seeing that all the warriors had obtained the blessing of the forest, Little Earl Sharon flapped his wings and stepped forward to touch the Shadow King's familiar cloud mane.
The majestic Shadow King's war horse seemed to recognize little Sharon, so he allowed her cold fingers that had been blessed by midnight to touch his forehead, and stretched out his rough tongue to lick little Sharon's fingers.
Such intimacy made both Wallander and Sunny sigh.
After all, Sharon spent a lot of time in the Shadow King's saddle as a child, and this naughty little guy even peed on the Shadowmane war horse's back.
"Warrior, you have received the blessing of the mountains and forests, and now you have to serve the Ancestral Woodland and Xikoland."
While stroking the shadow king's cloud mane, Sharon turned around and whispered to the happy stick that had exceeded two meters in height and had a body that was as strong as if it had been blown out of air. It felt like a bodybuilding champion:
"Just a few days ago, while you were training hard, something very bad happened in the forest. We have been hiding this news from the mountain people, otherwise they will definitely cause a big mess.
Since you are already one of us, this difficult task can be completed by you."
"Please speak, Lord!"
After Brother Bang became a "descendant of mountain people", he even spoke a little more irritably. He didn't know if this was caused by the racial change, but he felt that he could kill a cow with one punch now.
This feels really good.
Little Earl Sharon looked around, lowered his voice and said with shame:
"Do you still remember the Holy Grail of the Forest that we used to sign a contract with the Forest Spirit? It was found from the tomb of the first Earl of the Sicomaire family.
However, just a few days ago, that tomb was visited by tomb robbers."
"Ah this!"
Brother Bang was startled and asked hurriedly:
"Isn't that tomb protected by the mountain people? Why is it visited by tomb robbers? Could it be done by our own people?"
"No! It's not."
Sharon sighed and said:
"Originally, the responsibility of guarding the tomb was held by the Shanzu tribe. They are the best hunters among the mountain people and regard guarding the tomb as their sacred duty. However, recently, because Transia has been inspecting the refugees, the Shanzu tribe has
Warriors were hired in large numbers as guides for the warriors, which directly led to deficiencies in their defense system.
Those cunning tomb robbers seized on this and sneaked into the mausoleum under the cover of a rainy night and stole a series of funerary objects belonging to my ancestors.
The elder of the Yamazu clan has attempted suicide three times.
Grandma Shanzu believes that this is a humiliation to the tribe and must be punished with death, so you must bring those tomb robbers to justice as quickly as possible and recover the burial objects before Grandma Shanzu thinks of another way to kill herself.
Get this done before we can!"
"I understand, please leave it to us!"
Happy Stick took over the task righteously. After Little Earl Sharon turned around and left, he immediately opened Brother Miao Miao's private chat and sent a frantic message there:
Onboard happy stick: [Meow meow! Tell the f*cking honest truth! Is the theft of Earl Xiko’s mausoleum related to you? I’ve heard from the little guys in your team before that they have to find a way to get those funerary objects.
Damn it, are you crazy about giving eye drops to your brother? We just changed jobs and you’re going to make a fool of everyone?]
Meow King: [???Don’t talk nonsense! We have a good relationship. If you slander us like this, be careful I will sue you for defamation. Only ghosts can do things like tomb robbing and giving birth to children without assholes. We are in the lawful camp.
!
You understand, the boss of Avalon is watching us from the sky, who dares to mess around?
You believe me!
This matter has nothing to do with us.
But if you want to catch tomb robbers, we can help.】
Onboard Happy Stick: [?Can you help? Why do I feel this is so weird? You said you had nothing to do with it! 】
Mew Meow King: [This matter is quite complicated. I can’t explain it in a sentence or two. Anyway, I promise that it was definitely not our fault. Our hands are clean in this matter. Anyway, you guys come to Bataxin first.
In this woodland bordering Sikoland and Batacin.
We are setting up camp here.
Don’t worry, the whereabouts of that group of tomb robbers have been monitored by Yan Sang. Come over and let’s arrest them together. I can guarantee with my personality that we have not been involved in such evil things in the whole process!]
Hearing King Meow Meow's confident answer, Brother Bang was relieved.
What he was most afraid of was that Brother Mingmiao took a liking to someone else's funerary objects and actually took advantage of them. In this case, he would have to make a difficult choice between duty and friendship.
Alas, when that time comes, I hope I have enough courage to face the pursuit of the Hussars.
Brother Bang shared the task of [punishing tomb robbers] with other brothers, and then left Jushabo and others, who were crying but without tears, to wait in the forest for three days before continuing to participate in the trial. He successfully transferred to another profession.
The twenty-one brothers received the professional mission of hussar armor from Knight Sunny, and then set off to the location of Brother Mew Miao.
Along the way, the brothers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were still complaining about this professional mission:
Tiger and Leopard Cavalry·Lin: [We are actually asked to go to Xiko City to find the winged cavalry who died in the battle and were transformed into undead. After defeating them, we can obtain the inherited armor and inherited weapons from them.
I'm so convinced!
This mission is obviously to guide us to Xiko City.
To be honest, I really don’t plan to go to that ghost place a second time. The last experience of group destruction left a shadow on me.】
Tiger and Leopard Rider: [Nonsense! You've already switched to wing cavalry. The main mission of your career must be to recover Xiko City! Do you even need to think about it?
The job transfers in our profession at higher levels are probably related to this incident.】
Tiger and Leopard Cavalry·Dou: [No, no, no, I guess the last step of the professional mission is for us to attack the pioneering legion! It is the fortress of the short-handed marshal.
Don't forget, it was the short man who used the plague to turn Xiko City into what it is now. That was the desire for revenge forged by the souls of hundreds of thousands of people. This matter will definitely never end!
I estimate that after the black disaster, the two sides will have to fight each other with real swords and guns.]
Onboard Happy Stick: [I’m afraid! After we have a thousand player knights, watch me lead my brothers to smash that bullshit pioneer fortress!
You must know that Transia is only a quarter of the former Confederation of Portia. If Lord Murphy wants to become famous, he must regain all the lost territories, right?
At that time, we will not only have to fight the pioneering corps, but also the Yankees. We must fight in all directions. This is enough.]
Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Soldier: [Damn, this is so awesome. Why don’t you quickly find some P Agency war criminals to come in and level the anti-aircraft guns? 】
Everyone burst into laughter immediately.
But this joke did give Happy Bar a wake-up call.
His Scarlet Hammer and Sickle Group is currently the organization closest to the second-level qualification in the player guild. Once it reaches the second-level evaluation, he will have the power to "recruit independently."
The rather subtle and flexible moral bottom line of the P Society war criminals is troublesome in many cases, but if it is a war, then there is really no more suitable "source of troops" than them.
And he is a cavalryman!
Therefore, Yamaguchi players and the field carbine group are also targets to win over. Although there are no gold coin cars and gold coin ammunition for them, do you think how cool this winged cavalry is?
Riding horses and fighting is also romantic for men.
"Brother Bang, are you busy right now? Hurry back to Scarlet Castle or I can find you. I found a big secret here!"
Just when Brother Bang was imagining how he would recruit troops in the future, a private chat from an "angel investor" immediately cheered him up.
Hearing Brother Xiaofu's excited voice, Brother Bang immediately asked:
"Where did you get the secret information? Do you want to keep the authenticity? Don't tell me that you paid for it again this time. Have you forgotten the lessons of Xiko City?"
"No, no, no, not this time! This time it was a clue I accidentally picked up when I was killing ghouls in the sewers, right in the filthy swamp!"
Brother Xiaofu said firmly:
"The gnoll warlocks hiding there are looking for a 'lost secret treasure of the Bone-gnawing King'. I just asked Hogg in the Smuggler's Grove. Chief Bloodclaw told me with great certainty that the great secret treasure is absolutely
existing!
You believe me!
As long as we find it this time, we will become rich!"
"Filthy Swamp?"
Brother Bang hesitated for a moment, then answered:
"The defense area I was assigned happened to be nearby. It is said that the construction of the Maginot Line will start soon. Little rich brother, please don't worry. Let's find some clues. I will complete the reputation mission of the Sicomaire family here.
Just go over there.”
"Huh? Is there a hidden mission?"
Brother Xiaofu immediately became interested and asked:
"What kind of mission is it? Tell me."
Brother Bang then told the story about the theft of Count Xico's tomb. After hearing this, Brother Bang was filled with indignation and he cursed:
"What a bastard! He even dared to steal the tombs of local heroes. He must be caught and beaten severely! Just wait for me. I will go over immediately to participate in the grand event. My manticore can detect and track you."
"good!"
Brother Bang's eyes lit up.
Brother Xiaofu's manticore is indeed the only one among the summons currently owned by players. This guy's combat power and stealth are even stronger than those of the black iron-level vampires. With its help, those damn tomb robbers
Don't even think about running away!
However, Brother Bang thought again, does this really have nothing to do with the Big Bird Group?
