Han Ke naturally didn't know that the rumors outside that there were hidden missions in the barracks were getting stronger and stronger, and he was standing outside a fortress at this time, waiting for the commander of the Guards Regiment to summon him.

Don't look at the name of the head of the Guards Regiment, it seems that the official rank is not big, but in fact, the power represented by this name is very strong. Each city will have a garrison that will change in size depending on the size of the city. And the direct unit of the escort is the guard regiment of the city to which it belongs. The Sentinel is primarily responsible for the security of Imperial NPCs such as the Castle Lord's Empire NPCs and Temple NPCs such as the High Priest.

The lord of the city represents the development and construction of the entire city, while the high priest and his ilk represent the faith of a city.

From this, the importance of the Guards Regiment can be seen.

And Sadono, as the capital of the Langborn Empire, can serve here as the head of the Guards, I am afraid that he is only one level lower than the Empire's Grand Overseer.

Han Ke stood quietly outside the door, silently looking at some of the soldiers who were constantly wandering around the area. According to his estimates, these patrol soldiers should be around level 6 or 70.

At this moment, the dark red gate suddenly made a dull sound, and a knight in silver-white heavy armor pushed the door out from inside.

He walked in front of Han Ke, and his voice in the helmet sounded very low, "You go in with me, the head of the regiment is waiting for you." ”

When Han Ke heard this, he first saluted the other party respectfully, and then said, "Please lead the way." ”

The other party nodded, looking satisfied with his attitude, and then turned around and walked in front. The dark red door made a low sound again, like the sound of a giant gear turning.

Han Ke followed behind the other party, trying to keep his steps steady and steady.

The footsteps of the two men sounded in this surprisingly quiet fortress, surprisingly in unison.

The knight led Hanko to a dark silver door. He gestured sideways: "The head of the regiment is inside, you can go in by yourself." ”

Han Ke saluted the other party again, "Thank you for your leadership, and may the gods bless you." ”

The other party nodded to him and turned to leave, while Han Ke heard the system's prompt: "Knight Chief Fern's opinion of you has increased by 5 points." ”

This knight is actually the chief knight!

Rao is Han Ke has been deliberately brushing the other party's favorability since the beginning, and he was also surprised to hear this system prompt. The knight's status in the temple is not low, and he didn't expect such a figure to come and show him the way. Thinking about it this way, the identity of the commander of this guard regiment can be seen even more prominently.

Han Ke took a deep breath. Knowing what kind of high-level NPC is inside means that you can't be careless. High-level NPCs have been given a very complete personality factor. They are also more rigorous and meticulous in their judgment of players. In front of such NPCs again. Every action, every sentence must be carefully considered.

The dark silver door was gently pushed open by Han Ke, and as soon as he entered, he saw a man in a light suit with a sword at his waist standing in front of the window. Sunlight streamed in through the carved windows in front of him. Shining on his people makes him appear peaceful. It's really hard to believe that such a peaceful person is the head of the Guards Regiment in the capital.

The head of the Guards turned around, looked at Han Ke and said, "Is it your companion who solved the problem of Ulysses?" ”

Han Ke found that the face of the head of the Guards Regiment did not look big, only in his early 30s. And after he heard the other party's question, he immediately reacted that Ulysses was referring to the bluestone town in the copy of the virus research laboratory, "Yes." My companion has discovered some astonishing secrets there, and I have come here to report this to you. ”

"Oh?" The expression of the commander of the Guards Regiment was a little stern. He held out a hand and said, "Show me something." ”

Han Ke leaned over slightly, and handed the two mission items to the hands of the commander of the Guards Regiment, while he himself took a few steps back with his head bowed.

This is the most impeccable gesture of etiquette.

"Elves are indeed the most polite race." The voice of the commander of the Guards Regiment sounded with a little appreciation, and at this time, Han Ke also heard a "ding" as he wished.

System prompt: Captain of the Guards Regiment, Roger. Beaufort's opinion of you has been increased by 3 points.

3 points of opinion.

Sure enough, the more advanced the NPC favorability, the more difficult it is to brush.

Roger inspecting two quest items. Han Ke had been standing quietly to the side, and he only saw Roger's expression becoming more and more stern. In the end, he threw the two items on the desk next to him in hatred, and said angrily: "That group of people in the French Empire are really ambitious. They want to create such a vicious virus in a vain attempt to infect our people! Young warriors, you have courageously stopped the conspiracy of your opponents. For this, I owe you a tribute on behalf of the Empire. ”

System prompt: Do you have the option to accept the commendation from the Commander of the Guards Regiment at this moment?

Wouldn't choosing to accept it here strangle the chain of serial quests?

Han Ke naturally wouldn't be so short-sighted, he chose no and then bowed and replied, "Also as a member of the Langborn Empire, these are what we should do. ”

"With a young man like you, I also see the hope of the empire." Roger was pleased: "I will naturally deal with this matter solemnly. ”

But when he said this, it seemed that there was no follow-up, and he seemed to be waiting for Han Ke to leave by himself.

Is the task chain going to break again?

Han Ke didn't care if it was abrupt or not, he raised his head and said, "Captain, my partners were personally involved in this matter, and I think they should be more familiar with some details. As part of the Empire, we have an obligation to share your worries, and we don't know what we can do. ”

Hearing this, Roger pondered for a moment and hesitated: "Judging from your current strength, I'm afraid that there is some danger." ”

When you hear this, you know there's a turnaround!

Han Ke immediately struck the iron while it was hot and said, "I don't think that my companions and I will be afraid of danger. And, how can you become strong without experiencing danger? ”

Roger. As a swordsman, Beaufort is often in danger compared to the safer remote profession. When he heard this, he sighed with emotion, "yes, I thought it was wrong. A warrior should naturally be fearless! So, Han Ke, are you willing to accept my commission? ”

"Ding"!

The system prompts: "You have completed the Outpost - Virus Research Mission, Quest Progress 2." ”

The system prompts: "You have started the quest to explore the source of the virus, yes/no accept the quest?" ”

The quest chain is finally connected again!

Han Ke's mouth slowly spit out two words: "Of course." ”

"Good." Captain Roger nodded.

The system prompts: "Captain of the Guards Regiment Roger. Beaufort's opinion of you has been increased by 10 points. ”

"I need one of you to infiltrate the Farland Empire to see if there are any other virus labs there." "There's a huge conspiracy hidden here, so I want you to be careful and try not to attract the attention of the other party." ”

"Yes, I see." Han Ke bowed, "We will definitely do our best to complete the task you have entrusted us." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Outside the barracks, Han Ke looked up at the clear sunlight in the sky, and then exhaled the turbid breath held in his chest.

Coming out of the fortress where the commander of the Guards Regiment was, there was a soldier waiting outside the door. Hanke put the cloak back on and commissioned the soldier to take him out of a door on the left, which didn't attract the attention of the other players.

Now that he was back on the streets of Sadono, Han Ke opened his task list and carefully read the task description.

"System prompt: Neham. Gray's virus research is a conspiracy against the Ranborn Empire! Captain of the Guards, Roger. Beaufort has entrusted you with an investigation into the matter. In order to know the origin of this matter, you may need to go to the French Empire to find out. Neham. Gray's epistle indicates the location of the correspondence, and perhaps you should go there and have a look. ”

"System Prompt: Explore - Source of the Virus (Group Mission), Current Mission Progress 3."

"System tip: Be careful not to draw attention to the other person, maybe you should delegate a little less."

If you want to go to the French Empire, this task is indeed more dangerous.

Fame is a special attribute in the game.

If a player has a higher reputation in a region, they will be able to get a greater deal in their dealings with NPCs and be more likely to receive better quests. On the contrary, when the prestige is low, sometimes it is not only expensive to buy things, but if the prestige is low to a certain extent, then you can't even buy it.

Also as a human empire, although the relationship between the two empires is not hostile, if a player from the Lamborn Empire arrives in the French Empire, it is a cold relationship.

This relationship is the next layer of neutrality. Cold relations mean that NPCs there will ignore you except for some neutral ones, and you will need to keep an eye on your safety at all times. Because it is very likely that if you are not careful, the NPC's attitude towards you will change to disgust, and then you may be expelled.

The threat from NPCs is still one thing, and more hidden dangers are still in the players.

As you can see from some PvP players who choose a border city as a binding city, two players in a cold relationship can PK each other without any punishment. In fact, in the eyes of the players of the French Empire, the players of the Langborn Empire are all light red. (If it's a Terran or an Elf or something like that, it's going to be blood-red.) ）

It's light, but it's good enough to tell friend from foe.

Going to the Franco-Empire with such a halo is undoubtedly looking for death. What's the difference between this and a white sheep running into a black flock? (To be continued)
