Chapter 316: NPC's Request!
"Oh?"
Asuna turned her head and looked at a few people with interest: "It's just right, let's listen to Captain Chen Xiao's opinion, but it's ......"
"If you dare to deceive us, send your team to the forefront tomorrow to explore the way!" A strange smile appeared on her lips. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everyone turned their curious eyes to Chen Xiao to see how he responded.
But before Chen Xiao could speak, the handsome-looking NPC young man before knelt on one knee on the ground and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "Please save my father!" ”
Everyone frowned at the same time, what is going on, could it be the special task triggered by Chen Xiao?
Chen Xiao couldn't bear to see him so self-deprecating, so he helped him up and said, "Your Excellency Hunter, please get up, just tell everyone about any difficulties and discoveries." ”
"Save your father? Is it a mission? Cradier said to Chen Xiao with some yin and yang weirdness: "Our time is not enough, some people don't want to move the small guild here, if you delay the business, it will not be easy to explain to the head of the group!" ”
"Hmph, if you don't want to help, you won't help, we haven't said anything yet, just find so many reasons, I think you're scared!" The handsome girl NPC with a bow and arrow on her back said to Kraidier with a disdainful expression.
"You, what did you say? You're just an NPC, what am I afraid of! Cradil was furious by her mocking tone.
"Don't be afraid, you are just like Brother Chen Xiao, promise us!"
"Childish, do you think this kind of agitation will work on me?"
"Mia!" The NPC with the sword on his back frowned and scolded before he smiled apologetically at the crowd.
"Everyone, let's take a look at my map......" With that, the NPC spread out the map, and the three-dimensional light and shadow on the desktop automatically dissipated.
His map was made of a kind of leather, which itself was earthy yellow, and the lines on it were all drawn with red paint, with only a few simple strokes, which were very sketchy.
From the marker written in the lower left corner of the map with the town of Icefield, it is not difficult to identify that the map depicted on the map is this Snow Hill, and the NPC named Hunter pointed to the front half of a winding path and said: "This is where we are, we used to call this place a shelter when we first went on missions." ”
"What does this have to do with what you said, let us help save your father? Who are you? The middle-aged captain asked with some puzzlement.
"We are the Scorching Sun mercenary group in this Snow region, helping the rest of the NPC merchants to escort supplies, or come to the ice field to hunt rare magical beasts for a living."
"As for my father...... Hunter's expression darkened, and then he continued:
"This matter dates back to a week ago, and it was a big mission, so my father personally escorted the goods through Snow Hill with the main force of the Scorching Sun Mercenary Regiment to the town of Thorin on the other side of the tower, but he never came back!"
"How strong can an NPC be? I guess I got into the belly of the Snow Monster in Snow Hills early. Kratir was a little dismissive.
"No way." Hunter shook his head and said, "If the snow monster and his father are at war, even if they are defeated, it is impossible that none of the dozens of brothers will come back to report the news. ”
"Old Leader, Jace, Mad Dog, they ......"
"Not a single one!"
The stout mercenary beside Hunter slammed the ground with both hands, and his eyes were red.
"Please mourn." Asuna pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to the stout mercenary.
He was obviously stunned, and took the handkerchief a little embarrassed, but did not wipe his eyes, but put it in his hand, "I'm a hammer, you, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Asuna, Mr. Hammer, and this can't be your real name, right?"
The stout mercenary smiled and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Sort of, I didn't have parents when I was a child, I grew up with the old leader, this is the name he gave me later." ”
"You're an NPC, you don't have parents! Could it be that the system is designed to let you talk to players like this?! Asuna's voice suddenly raised, and her eyes exuded a fierce murderous aura.
"I'm ......" several NPCs fell into a momentary stupor at the same time, like wooden people.
"Done with the experiment? Captain Hunter, please go on. ”
Chen Xiao frowned, and looked at Asuna with some mockery, he had a complete insight into her intentions for her behavior just now.
"It seems to be really an NPC, although it looks like a human being, but maybe that's the setting of a special mission......"
Asuna was very calm in the face of Chen Xiao's ridicule this time, the life of an entire team was in her hands, and she had to be careful.
"And then, isn't there a clue?" The head of the Holy Dragon's big nose spoke, leading back to the topic.
"We waited for a long time from Icefield Town, and we didn't wait for them to come back, so we took the rest of our brothers in to look for it a few times, but there was no clue, and even the sword inherited from our family did not react at all, so we all thought that our father was dead."
With that, Hunter untied the long sword that had been hanging from his waist and placed it in front of everyone.
The scabbard was made of some unknown animal's leather, and the earthy brown scabbard was covered in mottled stains and some clotted blood clots on the top.
"What other special role can your family heirloom sword have?" Kraider looked at the tattered scabbard, which was not worth a single silver coin, and sneered slightly.
Hunter didn't look up, he pulled out his sword with a somewhat solemn expression and held it in his hand.
"What kind of sword is this? Could it be a bronze sword?! That's less valuable than this worthless scabbard. ”
Usually good swords are forged from stainless steel, so the body of the sword will generally appear cold silver-white, but this sword of Hunter is a dull yellow color that only copper swords can have, and the only difference between it and other swords is that it is carved with a string of red symbols from the tip of the sword to the hilt.
Everyone took a closer look and found that the symbol was a bit like a rune on a magic array, but they couldn't recognize any of them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this sword has been passed down in our family for a hundred years, but it is still as sharp as clay, and there is not a trace of rust." After that, he asked the strong man Iron Hammer to bring an ordinary iron sword, and violently collided the two swords together with both hands, only to hear a ding, and sure enough, the iron sword had been broken into two.
"Although there are still many secrets on this sword that have been lost, it has a special feature, that is, it can find people of the same blood as me!" With that, he bit his index finger again, dripping a few drops of blood on the blade.
"Look, everybody."
As soon as the words fell, the red symbol on the sword body seemed to be a dry stream pouring into the river, and a full scarlet red light emanated from each small groove, and the sword body broke free from Hunter's hand with a cry, and was suspended in the air, the tip of the sword was pointing in the direction of Snow Hill.
"This, this is?"
Seeing that everyone was amazed, Hunter took the sword back in his hand, and after a while it returned to its original simple and quiet bronze sword appearance, and explained:
"As long as I drip blood on this sword, it will point to people nearby who are related to me, the closer the degree of blood, the more violent the sword's reaction will be, the first few times I looked for my father, it didn't react, but this time there was no hope for the attempt, but ......"
Hunter gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and a fire of hope burned in his eyes, "Instead, there was a reaction, so I concluded that my father is in Snow Hill now!" ”
"And what can we help you?" Asuna asked.
A trace of unwillingness and humiliation flashed in Hunter's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "My fathers whose strength is above us have been killed and their lives and deaths are unknown, I know that my strength is not good, and the current Burning Sun Mercenary Group has suffered a great loss of strength, so I can only ask a few powerful knights to help......"
"Of course, as long as you save your father, my Hunter's life will be yours, and I will swear allegiance to the death, and there will be no two words!"
After that, the NPCs, including him, once again knelt on one knee!
