Umekawa Kuko had just stepped out of the magic circle on the airship when he saw an ooze monster holding a sign on the deck of the airship and talking to the black cat Pineapple in front of him.
On the sign held up by the ooze monster it was written:
[Warmly welcome [no one has chosen this name] mercenary group to visit the remote town of Black Volcano, I am your tour guide Ooze Monster]
However, most of the players who arrived here did not leave the open space around the airship, although they had already seen the entrance gate of the [Distant Town] right in front of them.
Because every player comes out of the portal with a system prompt flashing in front of them:
[Please do not leave the area around the airship, Lord Sherlock is about to arrive]
With such a prompt, most of the players will stay here. As for the small number of players who are running around, they find themselves unable to move before they reach the [Distant Town].
Because Sherlock, who arrived here as soon as possible, had already used coercion to force everyone into plot mode.
Players continued to appear in the magic circle, stepped off the airship, came to the open space, and then entered the story mode.
As for Sherlock, he was not in a hurry to start his plot. Instead, after a brief conversation with the ooze monster tour guide, he asked the tour guide to go shopping first with the black cat Pineapple and the black dragon dog egg.
"Wait a minute, isn't there a shopping group of 5,000 people?"
When he heard that the only people he went shopping with were a cat and an incredible black dragon, the ooze guide was completely confused.
"You seem to have a misunderstanding. I can understand why you look down on the black cat's shopping ability, but this is the black dragon. Please let him introduce himself."
Black Dragon Goudan moved his fat body and walked out. He raised his head and looked at the ooze monster:
"I am the High Lord of the Hill, the savior of Azeroth, the Leeroy of Blackstone Volcano, the guard of Cenarius, the commander of the Bloodsail Fleet, the warrior of the Naaru, the Hand of Arda..."
As he was talking, Sherlock couldn't help but frown:
"Are you also playing World of Warcraft? Which region?"
"In the Blue server, I went to play for nostalgia. The server just opened a few days ago. When I was working as a customer service, someone gave me my account. At first I wanted to go to Haholan, but the forum said that there
They are all the first choice for fast food players, so I didn’t go there.”
Goudan quickly replied.
Sherlock nodded, and then looked at the dumbfounded ooze monster tour guide:
"As you have heard, there is no doubt about the purchasing power of a black dragon, not to mention that he has so many great titles. Now hurry up and go."
The ooze monster tour guide had obviously been convinced by Sherlock's few words, and then left with the black cat Pineapple and the black dragon dog egg, heading towards the shopping street in the distant town.
After the black dragon Goudan and the black cat Pineapple left with the ooze monster who was no longer needed as their guide, Sherlock came to the players, then opened his hands and said to the players:
"Warriors of the eternal kingdom! The crisis in Winterfell must be solved by us! I can feel that this place has been polluted by the Abyss Legion, and the whole land exudes an atmosphere of decadence. If we don't rescue the people here,
People, what awaits them is only doomsday! Warriors! Seize the time to establish a stronghold! We will set off in a few days to explore Blackstone Mountain, and during this period, go get as much information as possible, find everyone you find, and use
Use all the methods you can! Find out the truth behind the attack on the Winterfell caravan!"
After Sherlock finished speaking, a task appeared in front of all the players:
[Task name: Investigate the remote town of Black Volcano]
[Mission description: The distant town is in danger, the peaceful life has been broken, the goods and supplies of Winterfell have been robbed halfway, this is probably done by the Abyss Legion, we must investigate clearly]
[Mission goal: Investigate a distant town, find insiders, and collect as much intelligence as possible]
[Task reward: Every piece of useful information can be exchanged for varying amounts of reputation rewards and game currency]
Although the reward of the mission is very vague, it is a big plot mission after all. This black volcano can be seen quite majestic and spectacular just from a distance, not to mention that there is such a big town in front of you.
Needless to say, this big plot is absolutely colorful.
Of course, before entering the distant town, players need to complete another thing, which is to establish a temporary stronghold! This will protect the airship docked here.
After all, this is a territory that has been polluted by the Abyss Legion!
————————
The remote town is a tourist town located under the black volcano. Although the black volcano behind it erupts several times from time to time, and the lava erupts dozens of meters high, the people in the remote town still live leisurely.
Peaceful and tranquil.
"boom!"
There was another sound coming from the distant volcano.
Against the background of erupting flames, an old goblin was lying on a rocking chair, drinking his afternoon tea and saying with emotion:
"What a peaceful day..."
This is outside the headquarters of the police force in a distant town. A tall beastman, wearing a brown uniform he just received and a hat like a western cowboy, opened the door and walked out.
"Mr. Cherry, we have already reviewed your resume. It completely meets the requirements for a security guard in our town. It's just that I don't quite understand..." A goblin detective, wearing the same uniform as Cherry, except for the shoulder straps.
Spend a little more and obviously get a higher level of status:
"Why would you resign from a big city like Winterfell?"
"Actually, it was because I was deceived by a good friend I once knew and did things for them that harmed Winterfell. I left there out of self-blame." Cherry did not hide it, but quickly explained.
The reason for this.
As the captain of the Winterfell Guard, Cherry's original life was very happy and fulfilling. Although players from the Eternal Kingdom dungeon often came to Winterfell to commit crimes, which increased his workload and work difficulty, but these were all jobs.
Until Bond, who had committed suicide, found him and asked him to explore the Eternal Kingdom dungeon. Later, it turned out that the Eternal Kingdom dungeon did not do anything to harm Winterfell.
Not only that, the ogres in the Ogre Fortress, together with Morgan, who had been imprisoned, launched an attack on the Eternal Kingdom dungeon. Bond also colluded with some people within the Merchant Alliance in an attempt to frame the Eternal Kingdom.
Dungeon, weakening their strength, so that the city battle between the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon and Morgan is at a disadvantage.
The Merchant Alliance, which was supposed to remain strictly neutral, had such a scandal. The detailed report of Nicholas, Lord of Winterfell, revealed this. The chain reaction it triggered was like a major reshuffle within the Merchant Alliance.
Most of the truth has been hidden with Bond's suicide.
But the cherry on the top cannot be without any repercussions. Although his original intention was for Winterfell, he violated the rules of the Merchant Alliance after all. Even if Nicholas did not hold him accountable, he would have no face to continue to stay.
In Winterfell, after resigning, he traveled far away and came to Black Mountain, a place far away from Winterfell and the underground city of the Eternal Kingdom.
In fact, there was another reason why Cherry resigned and left, which Cherry did not tell the police chief of a distant town, and that was that he no longer planned to deal with those weird guys with green characters on their heads.
Cherry put aside her curiosity and felt relaxed.
"Okay, although I don't think this is necessary at all, I still fully respect your decision and hope you can be happy here with us."
The police chief finished speaking to Cherry, and the two shook hands:
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the distant town!"
Cherry also showed a heartfelt smile.
He looked at the peaceful distant town in front of him and took a deep breath. Starting from today, he will start a new journey in life from here! Say goodbye to all the troubles of the past!
When he thought this, several goblins with green symbols on their heads walked past him. Cherry saw them, and they also saw Cherry. One of them shouted:
"Wocao! Isn't this the Captain of the Cherry Guard of Winterfell?! Why is he here?!"
"Hurry up and post! My experience is here!"
"God, why don't you give me water? Leave it for me!"
These guys in front of me shouted like this.
——————
The police office in a distant town.
Cherry sat behind a simple table, and there was a long queue outside. They were all players with green symbols on their heads. For some reason, they lined up here to seek information.
Of course, you can't say that on the surface. If you follow the procedures, they are here to report the crime!
"What brings you to this distant town?"
A player finally got into the queue and could go to Cherry to "report the crime." He sat down and asked directly.
"If you are here to ask me questions, go out now. If you are here to 'report a crime,' say it quickly."
There was no longer an expression of impatience on Cherry's face, and even her impatience had been worn away.
"Then I'm here to report the crime. The Abyss Legion has corrupted this place. The end of the world is coming. Tell me what are you here for?"
"Next."
Cherry said to the back with an expressionless face.
Soon, the players in the queue at the back dragged the person away. Another player in the queue at the back sat down excitedly, and then looked at Cherry expectantly. The player asked:
"What brings you to this distant town?"
