Slow 8.6-D: The First Victim

·

You decide to make sure that the female escort recovers successfully before sending Blade Shield Mufeng to escort her back to the guard. You ask Julianne to do what she's supposed to do, and then wait for the female guards to turn back into life. As for why it is necessary to send someone to escort it - because the council also wants this female guard, they will not snatch the stone statue, but the living person is not necessarily.

As for the escorts, there are not many.

The members of the "Witch's Sigh" are not uniform. The only people left in the room were the Golden Crown's squad and the expected return, Blade Shield Mufeng, whose captain was a former guard and knew the road well.

Julianne begins her first job in office: lifting the petrification curse.

You turn back to the hall alone.

Before leaving, there was a lot of talk in the hall, and when I returned, the hall was quiet...... Although there are quite a few people.

Whoever comes back will come back, and "Blade Shield Mufeng" and "Akami Tide" are both back, and they should have completed their missions. It's just that the "Blade Shield Mufeng" has changed from the original five people to four, and there is a body bag behind him.

Again?

So you point to the six big words "No Use of Body Bags" that Hathaway just posted, and open the body bag to confirm who the deceased is.

......

...... level 3 ranger in the "Blade and Shield Mufeng" team.

He once introduced himself when he registered: the combat ability is mediocre, but the ability to lead the way is very strong. His pale face is clean, as if he was asleep, except that your fingertips can no longer feel his breathing.

It's really dead.

That's why there was a vigil-like atmosphere in the hall. You don't even know what this guy's name is.

"President, I've finished ......"

Julianne came out of the back of the hall and saw the young man lying on her back in the body bag, and stopped halfway through her speech. She silently walked over to the body, confirmed the situation a little, and then began to cast the "Embalming the Remains" spell.

She looked up and asked the captain of Blade Shield Mufeng, "Is there anything I need to ask the deceased? ”

Shaking his head: "No, no." He has nothing to say but blame me for my incompetence, so let him ...... for the time being. How much does it cost to resurrect him?"

"The cost is 500 gold, and you can't make it up for a while, right?" Julianne tied up the body bag, "It has been embalmed, if you want to resurrect your companions, please come to me within 20 days." The same goes for finding other pastors. ”

"I'll definitely figure it out. The boy captain clenched his fists, turned to the other companions, and said, "I will definitely bring my companions back to life." Definitely!"

The three team members shook the hand of the junior captain one after another – and so will we. Everyone's mood is the same.

Defeat the remnants of the dungeon's camp and return two teams. One person was killed and all members were wounded. The young captain always supported the other warrior with his shoulder, the latter was the most seriously wounded, and the blood stains on his body had long since coagulated, but fortunately it was not a fatal injury, the young captain and the warrior monk were not lightly injured, but they were able to walk back on their own, and the elven archer was the least injured.

Half price.

- When Julianne finished speaking, she performed treatment techniques on the injuries in order from severe to mild, and soon the three young men were completely healed, as if they had never suffered any injuries.

Minor injuries are free.

- When Julianne wraps a bandage on the elven archer's flank, she suddenly screams like a pig.

"Wait!

"The special herbs are mixed with some magic effects, and there is not even a single arrow wound that can leave a scar. Don't struggle, it's right away. ”

Unexpectedly, the elf suddenly pushed Julian away, touching the tears that came out of the pain: "Why didn't I use spells to heal?"

"It's free. ”

"I'll pay for it, don't touch me!"

"It's not okay to pay for it, it has to be free, you have to use bandages. Who can guarantee that there will be no other injuries later, who can guarantee that the number of spells I have left is not enough to deal with emergencies, and I must keep as many spells as possible every day. Give me ...... honestly."

The elf turned around and fled, saying that it would be fine to sleep for a few days with this little injury.

Julianne threw the elf to the ground!

While a heart-rending scream rang out, Julian said coldly, "No, are you a healer or am I an orc's dirty arrow?"

Some people persuaded him to stop, and some people retreated again and again. No matter what, no one could stop Julianne from forcibly treating. As a high-ranking priest, Julian had a lot of strength, and it couldn't have been easier to rub the emaciated elf on the ground.

The canine coco silently walked up to you, holding 4 gold coins in both hands: "Chief." Harvest. ”

It seems like she's going to give you gold coins for no reason.

Caleb also walked over and sat down next to you: "Take it." She has to bring back the "fruits of the hunt" to give to you. After persuading us for a long time, we finally gave up carrying the bloody mutton on our backs and changed it to the gold coins we had received. It was her own booty. ”

Although "Blade Shield Mufeng" suffered heavy losses, on the other hand, "Akami Tide", on the other hand, did not lose a single hair on all of them, and at most they had the mud they had fought on. It had just rained two days ago.

The captains on both sides report the details of the mission to the receptionist at the same time - the new receptionist Adele is ordered to take up the post ahead of schedule.

"What's the situation? Didn't you go together? How did the victim appear. ”

"It's a long story. ”

Caleb didn't even know what expression to use to respond to Hathaway's inquiry. A halfling part-time bard begins to tell the story of the remnant camp from the beginning.

·

When Blade Shield Mukaze and Akami Tide arrive at the remnant camp, they find that the enemy has built up a defense in the dilapidated walled city. The adventurers lost the chance to surprise from the beginning.

Now recall that this commission was issued by the guards, and the remnant camp was discovered by the scouts of the guards, perhaps the scouts had already exposed their whereabouts when they discovered the enemy camp, causing the enemy to be alerted. This mission was not a surprise attack mission in the first place, but a frontal attack.

Coupled with the fact that it was raining, the two adventurer teams decided to conduct reconnaissance safely, specify a strategy, and then act. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid more than one person would have died.

The remnant camp was built temporarily against the cave at the foot of the mountain. The camp is surrounded by mountains to the right and behind, a steep river to the left, and a city wall in front of it—a modest wooden gate, which can be used by two creatures three meters tall to pass through at the same time, and the gate itself is made of several thick tree trunks bound at the same time; a relatively simple wooden arrow tower, one on the left and one on the left of the gate, a tight fence-like guardrail, and a bracket built haphazardly intersecting as if it would be scattered when hit by a bull; the so-called city wall is a fence. It was all thick trunks with sharpened ends, and two kinds of fences, vertical and diagonally outward, like a horse, intersected.

Orcs are more menacing than the mission details describe, and the number of goblins is less than overdue. They were on the lookout.

Siege plan - "Blade Shield Mufeng" attacked head-on to attract firepower, and "Akami Tide" took the opportunity to detour from the flank of the river and open the gate from the inside.

Such an arrangement is basically reasonable. The captain of Akami Tide is more suitable for crossing rivers due to his race, while Blade Shield has two warriors who can take more damage from the defenders.

The next morning,

Act as planned.

SHIELD BREEZE went according to plan, however, AKAMI TIDE encountered an unexpected situation and made a temporary detour, which invisibly put the friendly team responsible for attracting firepower head-on at greater risk.

There is no way, you have to take a long detour.

Captain Lizardmen......

As I've said several times, I'm a "half" lizardman. Half. Half human blood, don't you see that my face is close to a human?"

"Oooh!"

Caleb stuck out his tongue at the captain's interruption and continued:

The captain, the half-lizardman, insisted on leading the team around a longer distance for the sake of safety. During this time, Coco could smell the stench of the enemy due to the downwind, the two archers saw a number of ambushes hiding in the extreme distance, and Caleb's keen hearing caught unusual bass.

At the surprise location reserved for the "Akami Tide", there are already orcs and goblins lurking in the water and grass on the riverbank, waiting for adventurers to fall into the net.

So, Akami Tide made a farther bend and slowly circled behind the ambush. During this period, the roles of the praying mantis and the yellow finch kept changing, and it was no longer clear who was the real ambush.

An orc leader, an orc shaman, eight orcs, six goblins, very dangerous situation.

"Akami Tide" can only stand still for the time being, even though "Blade Shield Mukaze" has already begun to launch a frontal attack. Neither team has a mage, so it is impossible to communicate with each other from a distance.

Suddenly, the enemy ambush soldiers began to fight among themselves!

The battle began without warning and ended in a very short time. As if he had been preparing for a long time, the orc leader suddenly cut off the head of the shaman next to him, and then led his companions to kill four ordinary orcs and four goblins. I don't know why there was infighting, but in the blink of an eye, half of it was dead.

Those who survived were not uneventful.

The perfect opportunity to appear inexplicably, of course, "Akami Tide" will not let go. They attacked from behind, and the captain and another archer played a huge role, and the victory was sealed before they could make a close encounter. After harvesting the heads of the goblins that screamed and fled, Akami Tide climbed up the river bank for a few moments and took the walled city from the flanks.

"Why are they infighting?"

"Probably a power struggle. The warriors of the orc tribe and the shaman are not easy to live in harmony, and they have been soaking in the river since yesterday waiting for the adventurer to appear, and they have long lost their patience. ”

In short, good luck here, but not so bad that side.

When Akami Tide quickly kills the walled clearing guarded by only three goblins, and then shoots enemies from behind the walls and towers,

The Level 3 Ranger is dead.

Still a step late.

The elven archer walked slowly towards you, holding his chest and whispering, "He died protecting me." According to the predetermined plan, two shield-raising warriors protected the ranger and the warrior monk respectively, while I fought back between the gaps in the two shields. There were more orcs than expected in the entire remnant camp, and since I fired the first arrow, the orcs had completely given up shooting the other four and set me on fire. All the arrows flew at me alone, and it wasn't something that two shields could protect. ”

When the elf was hit by an arrow in the flank and fell outside the shield protection, he was already dead.

The level 3 ranger was the closest, bared his head and reached out to pull the elf, and was shot in the back of the heart on the spot, two arrows. The warrior monk hurriedly dragged the elf and the ranger back, but the latter was already mortally wounded.

Of the two squads, the only one who can use healing spells is Caleb, a level 2 part-time bard.

The bleeding can't be stopped.

When the walls and towers were slain and the gates opened, Caleb rushed to the Ranger...... It's no longer a cure that is needed.

·

At some point, Caleb played his flute.

Melodious but painful, the beautiful timbre echoed in the hall for a long time, as if I couldn't bear to leave. I've only known my companion for a few days, but for Blade Shield Mufeng, the dead ranger is a good guy who is easy to get along with. It was he who led the two teams all the way to the camp of the remnants safely, just like he claimed to be, an excellent guide. You can see from afar that the warrior of the "Blade Shield Mufeng" has his head down, the warrior monk has turned his face away, and the young captain has a steely face with his head up, so that the tears that roll in his eyes will not flow.

The wind of sorrow died among the walls of the hall,

Hold on to the painful sound of the flute.

For a while, you are misled by Hathaway, who has become accustomed to the death of adventurers, by Raumi, who has seen too many unfortunate deaths, and by adventurers who have already cried or held back tears. Being misled, it doesn't seem like anything is wrong.

With the sound of Caleb's flute, you stared at the body bag resting on the ground, and this is the first time you realized

...... One person died.

·

The enemy built temporary shelters in the caves, as well as rudimentary fortifications. Surrounded by miscellaneous soldiers, on a large wooden seat on a four-meter-high platform at the end, sits the leader of the strong orcs armed with a giant axe. It's the final boss here.

And then there was an uphill battle.

All the members of "Blade Shield Mufeng", who lost their companions, lost their emotions and rushed farther forward and frantically than "Akami Tide", so they suffered a lot of injuries. is now embarrassed, or the ending after accepting Caleb's two "treatment of minor injuries". It is safe to say that if Kaleb is not there, there will continue to be victims.

"Oh, yes, President. The captain of the Blade Shield Breeze walks up to you and says, "I'm not a lizardman but a half-lizardman, look at my face." I have asked the receptionist to correct the registration information. And - this is the loot brought back from the remnant camp and given to the guild. ”

A big treasure chest,

When opened, there are many strange spellcasting materials.

The order of the adventurer's guild intermediary is actually not very rewarding, and it is better to directly take the mercenary task from the market side alone, but under normal circumstances, the adventurer can keep all the loot for himself, and the commission involves a wide range of opportunities. This time, the remnants of the camp were estimated from Cocoa's 4 gold, and the two teams looted more than 40 gold in spoils except for the necessary expenses.

Hathaway flipped through and asked, "What is this?"

"The treasure, which is closely guarded by the leader of the strong orcs, seems to be the material needed to build a teleportation array. These remnants were originally tasked with the arduous task of building a teleportation array near the town, but before they could gather the materials, they were defeated by the garrison, and they couldn't go back, and they couldn't build it, so they had to spend it in place. If you find the right way, these materials can be worth nearly a thousand dollars, or even more, but we don't have that kind of way. If you sell it to the market casually, I am afraid that the price of only a dozen gold coins is too great. ”

You don't have a special way either.

You've got this box of materials, maybe you'll be able to use them another day.

·

You express your wish to the Junior Captain of Blade Shield Warrior that he will escort the female escort back to the Guard later, and the Junior Captain agrees. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the female guard to break free of the petrification effect on her own. It won't be long.

The four Golden Crowns were about to leave.

"Huh?" Fieldine asked, "aren't you going to take on a mission?"

Rachel waved her hand irritably, "See what my face is scratched into?"

Julianne said: "I was completely healed after a good night's sleep, and my bandages worked. ”

"Can I sleep even if I lose my spirit? Even the little wolf cub can't feel my charm, and I'm disqualified as a woman." Rachel suddenly took the money from Billy to sell the wolf cubs, "Now that the team has more money, let's go spend and enjoy life!"

This decision was unanimously agreed by the three male team members! After all, the adventurer had just died, and they realized the need to have fun in time.

"Okay! Let's go shopping for cosmetics!"

Well, the decision was unanimously speechless by the three male team members.

"Akami Tide" did not take the task either. The captain said that he planned to take a day off and meet again tomorrow. After all, Caleb and Coco don't seem to be in a hurry to continue the adventure, with the former calling the guild hall home and the latter using your feet as a kennel. Understaffing.

For the Remnant Camp mission, you get 4 gold, plus 4 gold in personal income contributed by Cocoa, and a box of weird materials.

Of course, "Blade Shield Mufeng" did not take on the mission. One less team member, morale is low, and it is necessary to regroup.

It was nearly evening, and Fielting looked out the door, and muttered in a very low voice, "The fourth day is almost over...... Why hasn't the Thorn Totem returned from the dungeon yet?

That's right

The Thorn Totem was supposed to have returned yesterday.

No one wants to talk about it. Due to the distance between the dungeon and the town, it is inconvenient to transmit information, and the "Thorn Totem" is completely in a state of unknown life and death.

Seeing that the three squads were leaving, you suddenly shouted: Wait a minute!

You intend to announce a quest released by the Adventurer's Guild itself:

A, D-class missions, send 2 teams to confirm the life and death of the "Thorn Totem". Safety first, exploration second, no need to enter the dungeon. The reward is -8 gold from your own money bag, and if you encounter the "Thorn Totem" halfway, escort it back safely to the guild and get an additional 2 gold. If the life or death of all four can be confirmed, an additional reward of 2 gold will be added.

B, D-class mission, send 2 teams to confirm the real cause of the Sewer Ratman clan's abnormality. Since you can recover part of the follow-up remuneration from the client, your own money bag - 4 gold. Depending on the level of detail of the survey results, an additional 1-4 gold can be added.

C, E-level missions, add 1 squad to support "Rainbow Shadows" and "Hill Explorers" to attack the thieves' den tonight. Remuneration from your own purse - 4 gold. If all members of the "Rainbow Shadows" survive, an additional 2 gold rewards will be added. If all the "Hill Explorers" survive, add 2 gold.

D, No...... Changed his words: Actually, it's fine.
