Chapter 317: Mission Update
Tang Rui and Jem also sat by the fire, waiting for the old man to read the letter.
I don't know if it's because of the altitude or the climate zone, it's clear that Lancaster's side has gradually warmed up, but the Crookes area is still cold.
Fortunately, the cabin was very warm, and walking into the cabin from the outside was like soaking in a hot spring.
When this mission is over, I must go back to the nameless town for a hot spring. For some reason, when he thought about it, Jem felt a little more motivated.
Tang Rui sat on the chair and twisted restlessly, the chair that was not very firm crunched because of his work, as if it would fall apart at any moment.
Jem glared at him, but it didn't serve as a warning at all—Thony wasn't looking at him at all.
After a while, Tang Rui finally couldn't hold back and asked the old man, "Old man, do you have anything to eat here?" I'm starving! ”
The old man's eyes didn't seem to be very good, so he could only read the letter word by word in the fireplace of the fireplace, and was interrupted by Tang Rui like this, the old man's eyes lifted from the letter paper, and after glancing at Tang Rui's humble appearance, he lowered his head again.
Just when Tang Rui thought that the other party was not going to entertain them to eat, the old man's voice came faintly from behind the letter.
"There's some marinated sausages in that barrel in the corner, you can take them to the stove and roast them, and the tongs are next to the fireplace, so why don't you teach you how to use them?"
"Thank you!" Tang Rui happily ran to get the sausage, while Jem sat still.
Strange why the chain quest on the system quest page hasn't been updated.
Could it be that you have to find a way to promote the progress of the task yourself before there will be an update?
Thinking of this, Jem looked at the old man and frowned, and couldn't help asking, "What is written in the letter?" ”
"An old man's unrealistic babble," the old man glanced at Jem, "don't you who he sent here to deliver the letter know what it contains?" ”
"We're just ordinary messengers." Jem shrugged.
The task log is still not updated.
"Do you know Tiera?" The old man asked coldly.
"Of course I know, a kingdom that has perished." Not sure what the other person meant, Jem struggled to sift through the more normal and ambiguous answers.
He can't say, 'Princess Tiera is my eldest brother!' 'In that case......
In fact, Princess Leah, who has dozens of auras and buff skills, is loved in team fights, and is indeed called Big Brother by most players because of her fierce fighting style.
Although she herself hates this title, if she dares to mention it in front of her, she will be beaten by her solo (violent beating) wearing the legendary weapon Iron Finger Tiger.
It is worth mentioning that even though Princess Riya's Iron Finger Tiger comes with the hidden attribute of '20% increased pain', there are still many players who are happy to run and deliberately provoke the other party to be violently beaten...... It can only be said that the player's sand sculpture attributes are becoming more and more abundant......
"And this letter is a defeated dog of the destroyed kingdom, grinning at other lost dogs, wanting to reunite those lost dogs and start a bark of revenge for the long-lost kingdom."
The old man threw the letter in his hand into the fire, and watched as it was engulfed in flames and faded away.
Although the words were a little vague, the general meaning was still understood by Jem.
The lord of Lancaster, Cowlin Atherton, was able to save his family when he took refuge in the Varla Empire, and has survived to this day.
On his heels, Corinf Atherton was still a former vassal of the former dynasty, that is, a subject of the perished Tiera, and it was no problem to be called a defeated dog.
Because the Great Evil Eye Lord appeared in the embassy, which directly led to the death of the new emperor's envoy, it is estimated that it is difficult to avoid a battle with King Valla**.
It's just the success of the Twin Cities Cup, and the combat effectiveness shown by the players in the Twin Cities Cup and the crusade against the Great Evil Eye Lord, which gave Kaulinf a little confidence to fight against Wang **.
However, although the players have several leading commanders, the players in charge of the command are also halfway monks, and although some chaotic surprise attack strategies are used well, they do not have the experience of really commanding the army steadily.
Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that Kaulinf wants to find his comrades-in-arms from the time of the Kingdom of Yella and let them go to Lancaster to help.
Unlike Kaulinf, who took the initiative to rebel and received preferential treatment, including the old man in front of him, eighty percent of his comrades-in-arms were wanted by the Varla Empire after the destruction of Tiera, and had to leave their homeland to live incognito, so they were 'lost dogs'.
Judging by the attitude of the old man, it is clear that he does not plan to go out to the mountains to help Kaolinf.
Based on this information, Jem guessed that the next task was to help Kaulinf convince the old man to go to Lancaster.
He glanced at the system page, but the mission information was still not updated.
At this time, Tang Rui came over with a sausage.
Jem thought that the other party was here to bake sausages, but after Tang Rui got close to this side, he directly drew his sword and slashed at the old man!
The old man was supposed to be a soldier before, even though he looked quite old, but his movements were still very neat, and the whole person flipped off the recliner and rolled over, avoiding Tang Rui's sword.
"Wait a minute, Tang Rui, what are you doing!"
Jem wanted to go up and stop the other party, Tang Rui looked at the old man with a cold face, but said to Jem: "Jem, do you remember that when we asked for directions, someone once said that this old man also has a granddaughter and a dog at home, right?" ”
Jem was stunned, it seemed that there was indeed such a thing before, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
"What do you want to say? Maybe people are just afraid that there will be bad people, so let them hide first? ”
"See for yourself."
Tang Rui didn't argue much, just threw the sausage in his hand to Jem.
As mentioned before, players all have a certain degree of identification, so when they saw the sausage in their hands, its information appeared in front of Jem's eyes.
【Human and dog mixed sausage (marinated in green spiced barley)】
Jem looked at the sausage in his hand in disbelief, and then looked up at the old man in the corner.
The yellow name on the old man's head, which symbolized neutrality, the 'old people' turned into the 'swamp people' who were so bright red that they seemed to drip blood.
"Now that I've been discovered, there's nothing I can do, and I don't have much left," the 'old man' cracked his mouth, revealing his jagged, yellow tartar-covered teeth: "Resent your own meddling, curse the injustice of your fate......"
Then before it finished speaking, it was cut in two by Tang Rui, who had turned into a sword master and took the [Battle Mania] route, to open the heroic Chengren.
Immediately after that, Jem also cast a skill, summoning a lump of flesh-like sea creatures, which opened the mouth and directly ate the swamp man who was squirming and trying to do something, and then it ate itself again, and disappeared without a trace.
"Ah, the mission has been updated." Jem opened the system task page and looked at the refreshed task: "But I'm not happy at all......"
