In a few seconds, Jian Yan had pulled the mutated waiter to the other end of the courtyard.

Without the slowdown effect, the monster's threat to Jian Yan is naturally a little greater. In short, he gave up the ice-based means and directly used the earth-based magic to fly a kite!

The condition required for kite tactics is to make your attack range larger than that of monsters. Archers are agile and fast, and have a long range, so kite technique is an essential skill for archers. And a mage, although it is also a long-range attack, but its own speed is slow, and when it encounters a monster that runs faster than itself, it needs some control skills so that the opponent can't catch up with him. And the slowing effect of ice magic is what it means.

In short, it turns out that ice magic is also used to it, but this time it suddenly abandoned some of the skills in his skill column, but this time the battle is extremely novel because of this.

The pace of the opponent in the earth is stunted!

In short, at the beginning, I felt that the rhythm of the battle was quite tight, which made the pressure of casting spells relatively high, but after a few rounds, I quickly adjusted myself.

The magic concussion skill is worthy of being an advanced reward given by the system, and this passive skill can be said to be very domineering. In short, as a mage who is biased towards control, he has been extra careful in mastering the target and the timing of casting spells.

Tong Guò's game experience in "The Seventh Age",In short, I also have a general awareness of the classification of monsters.,When you see the face of the monster.,You can roughly judge the weakness of the monster in your heart.。 And because of this. In short, the critical hit chance is much higher than that of the average player!

A critical hit came out, and it bought Jian Yan a distance of 5 yards. These five yards are enough to release a fire dragon technique in a nutshell!

The combined attack of the Whirlwind and the Fire Dragon caused the mutated attendant's HP to drop rapidly. The attributes of this monster also seem to be related to the dark system, and the damage value of the fire skill is relatively much higher.

In short, the fight against monsters here is particularly easy, but the shopkeeper is very anxious because he can't catch up with the movements of the two.

The initial frost freeze caused Jian Yan to directly distance him by nearly 10 yards, and this 10 yards of distance could no longer be closed after the shopkeeper was freed from the freeze.

The shopkeeper is just an ordinary NPC with no combat power, and he naturally can't keep up with Jian Yan in terms of speed, and wants to distance himself from him in battle. Isn't that a trivial matter for a short sentence? In fact, after the shopkeeper didn't do much to Jian Yan, it was no more difficult for Jian Yan to get around him than it was to get around a big tree or a rock.

The mutated waiter is still just a sub-elite after all. In short, the speed under the health bar without counting the MP reply. And as its HP dropped, the mutated waiter even showed a weakened state, which undoubtedly made Jian Yan's pressure even less.

Seeing that the mutated waiter was about to be unable to withstand Jianyan's skills, the shopkeeper suddenly seemed to have burst out with all the strength of his body. Suddenly rushed to Jian Yan and pleaded: "Please." Either way, please let him go. As long as you let him go, I'm willing to pay all the price! ”

At this time, the shopkeeper's face was only filled with fear and panic, but there was still a bit of begging for Jian Yan in his eyes. It seems that this monster has a lot to do with this NPC.

As the shopkeeper begs for mercy, the system gives you an option: Are you willing to accede to the shopkeeper's request?

Another autonomous option!

In a nutshell, the tasks encountered were not less, but when she encountered such a task option, she still couldn't help but have a headache. In a mission, a different choice may lead to a different direction in the mission story. It is not only the judgment of the completion of the task, but also may affect the direction of the next task.

According to common sense. If you kill the mutant waiter in front of you, you will definitely be able to get a hint about the next step in the mission. But since the system gives another option, it means that the task can also follow this process.

Looking at the shopkeeper's pleading expression, Jian Yan finally chose yes. Although this choice may bring more trouble, it may also bring another opportunity, and this time it can be regarded as a relenting heart.

Seeing that Jian Yan had given up the pursuit of the waiter, the shopkeeper was busy thanking him. Jian Yan couldn't delay time with him at the moment, so she dragged the waiter, who was close to a coma, and said to the shopkeeper, "There are city guards coming, you should know what you have to do, right?" ”

The shopkeeper got up from the ground, helped Jian Yan drag the waiter up, and said, "I know, you guys should hurry into my room." ”

The two dragged the waiter to the shopkeeper's bed, but Jian Yan did not put away the staff, but stood beside the bed and said, "You go and deal with those city guards, don't let them find me." Otherwise, the waiter's life would not have been saved. However, you also know very well that if this person is seen by the city guards, it will only be a dead end. ”

This is the first time in the game to say threatening words to NPCs, NPCs in the game have their own personalities, and some cunning guys need a certain amount of deterrence to be honest. In short, the shopkeeper was still not very relieved, so he said a little more.

The shopkeeper's face changed, and he said continuously: "Of course, of course, how dare I do more." ”

In short, this sentence just pinched his sore spot, this waiter is really strange, in the eyes of the city guards, he can only be linked to evil things. They don't care if this has anything to do with some high-level officials of the Fran Empire, and if they are caught, they will be arrested. The shopkeeper obviously took care of this waiter, even if he still wanted to take revenge on Jian Yan, he didn't dare to pull this waiter out.

And this is probably the reason why I hope that there are no waiters hired in the tavern. Since the shopkeeper wanted to cover up the abnormality of this waiter, how could he increase the number of people in the shop?

Jian Yan originally thought that this shopkeeper would be entangled with those city guards at most, but he suddenly heard the shouts of some NPCs nearby: "It's on fire!" Let's put out the fire! ”

And in the midst of this. In short, you can hear the owner's voice!

She was startled, and carefully paid attention to the movement nearby, but saw that half of the fire was already reflected outside the window at this time! Follow in this direction. It seems to be the room where the waiter begins!

Things seemed to have gone completely out of Jane's predictions, and she leaned against the wall, listening intently to the movement outside the window. The voices outside the door grew louder, and in short, you could faintly hear the cracking of materials as the flames burned, and the sound of materials dropping down when they were splashed with water.

Come to think of it, the city guards who came here had been completely attracted by the fire, and in short, no one would pay attention to this room at all!

After a while. The fire slowly went out, and Jian Yan once again heard the greetings between the shopkeeper and the NPCs who had come to help put out the fire. Unlike his appearance in the tavern, the shopkeeper at this time seemed to be a fully qualified merchant. He speaks eloquently. After a short time, the crowd of onlookers was dismissed, and Jian Yan had already heard the footsteps of the other party getting louder and louder.

With a "creak", the shopkeeper pushed open the door and walked in. And when he looked up, he saw the intruder in a black cloak standing on the edge of the bed, silently moving. It's like the Grim Reaper standing still at the head of the bed. Just waiting for someone to inadvertently take the other person's life.

This thought that popped up also shocked the shopkeeper, and he seemed to remember that the person in front of him was a terrifying guy who could take his life at any time, and his originally relaxed heart came up again at this moment.

In short, no matter what kind of psychological activity the shopkeeper is at the moment, her heart is also very complicated at the moment. In order to divert the attention of the city guards, they directly ignited the fire, which is really not ruthless. Just looking at the appearance of this shop owner, I would never have thought that the other party could make such a decisive decision. When this fire came down, the city guards would only think that the initial movement was caused by the fire. And this fire also burned the waiter's safe place clean, if the shopkeeper transferred the other party at this time. Not even a trace will be left!

I don't know if this paragraph can be regarded as a plot briefly, she just feels that she usually underestimates these NPCs. Needless to say, those high-level NPCs. Unexpectedly, it was the owner of a tavern, and when he turned his face, he might look different. "The Seventh Age" is too full of NPCs, with personalities, backgrounds, and habits, all of which are inadequate, and there may be a story behind every NPC.

Jian Yan sighed in his heart, but at the same time, he also had some vigilance against this seemingly powerless shopkeeper. Just from the other party's series of practices, you can know that this NPC has a forbearant personality, and the place where it should be ruthless is ruthless enough, it is really not a character that can be taken lightly.

Jian Yan pointed at the waiter lying on the bed with his staff, while actually secretly warning the other party's actions, "What is the relationship between this person and you?" ”

"Him." Speaking of this waiter, the shopkeeper also seemed to be sad, "He is my only son." ”

The shopkeeper's son?

Seeing that the name of this mutated waiter had indeed changed to "the shopkeeper's son", Jian Yan's heart moved slightly, but he didn't say anything else, but continued to ask: "Then how did he become like this?" ”

"Don't talk about it." The shopkeeper sighed and said, "My son seems to have met a big man a few years ago, and as a result, he had to follow the other party to the death, who knew that he would become like this when he came back again." And I was scared when I looked at him who didn't seem to be conscious, but he still knew me a little, and I only had this one son, so of course I could only hide him. Although I was afraid that my son would become more and more terrifying, I couldn't help it. If anyone can help me turn my son back to his original form, then I, Richardson, swear allegiance! ”

Quest Hint (Side Quest): Shopkeeper Richardson wants someone to help him regain his son's sanity, are you/willing to accept his commission?

How can there be a reason not to accept a side quest?

Jian Yan chose yes without hesitation, and she said to Richardson: "It is true that I came here because of the investigation of this matter, such a method is extremely evil, and a person with a righteous heart cannot tolerate it." If I want to track it down, I may need your cooperation. It is indeed my fault to break in at night, so if I can find a cure for your son later, I will be the first to sue you. ”

This very standard quest language will only make the ears feel pantothenic if you listen to it. But for these NPCs, saying such words suddenly makes Jian Yan's image taller. I'm afraid that in the eyes of the shopkeeper Richardson, Jian Yan is no longer an intruder who broke in late at night, and he has forgotten the fact that the other party actually almost killed his son, and all that is left in his heart is the possibility of his son being restored to his original state!

The shopkeeper, Richardson, looked respectful, and he stood up and made the most standard respectful manner, and said to Jian Yan: "If you really saved my son, then you are the benefactor of our family." I will faithfully fulfill my promise and be your most faithful servant! ”

System Prompt: You have earned "Richardson's Gratitude", and the Shopkeeper Richardson's loyalty is permanently increased by 10.

The system's prompt finally woke Jian Yan up from shock, and the reward for this quest was already obvious, that is, an NPC slave!

The game of "Seventh Age" has progressed so far, and I have only heard of players getting low-level pet scrolls, but no player has been able to sign a contract with NPCs! And in short, she also got "Richardson's gratitude", which means that as long as she is not really too harsh on the other party, Richardson has no possibility of betrayal!

Although it seems that the shopkeeper Richardson is just a useless NPC and is completely unlikely to provide any help to the player in battle, the value of an NPC is multifaceted. For example, Richardson's appearance from the beginning to the present undoubtedly does not show that this NPC has extremely high intelligence and sufficient diplomatic skills. Not to mention anything else, even if he is arranged to go to the Jiukong store, his value can be fully exerted!

In short, his mind is a little lively, Richardson is still an NPC of the French Empire, if he can't transfer to the Longborn Empire, maybe he can also let the other party take over the branch in the French Empire! In short, I have always had the idea of a branch of the Nine Empty Stores, but I have never thought of opening it in other empires. Richardson's appearance undoubtedly gave her more possibilities!
