Chapter 69: The second stage of the main quest
In the banquet hall, more than 200 good people were scattered here, and everyone looked at the man in his thirties who was wearing a military uniform and looking majestic standing on the presiding stage!
He's the master here, Count Sail!
"As the owner of this place, I sincerely thank everyone for coming to participate in the mobilization!" Count Sail glanced at the group of adventurers and mercenaries present, and said in a flat tone, "Then don't talk nonsense, my butler will arrange tasks for you next!" ”
After saying this, Count Sail turned around and left the banquet hall!
After the count had departed, the old butler came up to the podium and said, "Attention, everyone! ”
After that, four servants came to the presiding stage from the backstage pushing two food cart-like things, and on top of the food truck-like things, stacks of parchment rolls were piled up!
"These parchment scrolls contain some unresolved events, and the ones on the left are simple tasks that I hope you can complete alone! The ones on the right are relatively difficult tasks, so you can form a team and go there! The old butler pointed to the piles of parchment rolls on both sides and said, "We have set up corresponding contribution points for different tasks, and everyone can get them for each completed one, although if it is completed by a team, the points of the task will be evenly distributed to everyone's head!" ”
"Please do what you can!" After the old butler had said this, he took a step back and stopped talking.
Bai glanced at the task prompt given by the system, and then looked at the people who had already started queuing!
The two queues weren't long, most of them were on the right, some on the left, but much less than on the right, and even the other two teams of players sent representatives to line up for team missions!
"How?" Shiro turned his head to look at Bailey and Cat Pie standing beside him, and asked.
"Let's pick up the team first!" Cat Pie replied, and Bailey nodded in agreement.
"Okay!" Although Bai is more inclined to take personal tasks, he does not object to their opinions, this kind of team up to do tasks is not a common thing in Bai's own planning, so since there is a chance, it is not bad to try some!
"Then I'm going to pick up the mission!" After seeing Shiro's agreement, Bailey volunteered to line up!
The task distribution was very efficient, and it didn't take long for Bailey to return with a roll of parchment!
After Shiro took the parchment scroll, he spread it out in front of the three of them, and the contents of it were revealed!
The description of the mission is simple, travel to a seaside town in the far north to deal with the monsters that appear to be vampires!
The map is also drawn on the parchment scroll!
"This task is a bit of a hassle!" After seeing this mission description, Cat Pie reached out and scratched his chin with a stubble in some distress.
First of all, the type of target is unknown, although it is written that it is suspected of being a vampire, but it is not necessarily, it can only be said that the target has a habit or hobby of sucking blood, whether it is a vampire or not, has a very big impact on the formulation of the strategy!
Then there is the law of appearance, which is introduced on the parchment roll, saying that when the fog is rising, there is a considerable probability of appearing!
Bai couldn't help but think of the caterpillars he met on his way to Cyoborg!
It's just that those caterpillars don't have a blood-sucking habit or a penchant!
"Anyway, let's go to the field first!" After saying a word, he rented a carriage with Bailey and Cat Pie and set off for his destination!
The journey was a long way, and by the time they arrived at their destination, it was already two days later!
Luckily they didn't encounter an attack along the way, and apart from some bumps, there was nothing to complain about!
"I don't see fear spreading at all!" Looking at the thriving scene in front of him, the cat lover said.
Although it is called a small town, the actual area is almost the size of a small city, and the flow of people is very large!
It's mostly caravans, after all, this is a seaside town, there is a not small port, and the goods carried by the ships that come and go every day are piled up!
The people in the town are all doing their own things in full swing, and in addition to exhaustion, there is only fullness left on their faces!
"Let's find a hotel first, and then we will investigate slowly!"
In this small town, it was not difficult to find a hotel, and it didn't take long for them to find a hotel called "Old Shrimp", and then rented three rooms and paid three days' rent in advance!
There is no time limit for this task, but obviously the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for them!
If the core quest starts when it starts, and when the core quest starts, they still don't have the qualifications to join the core quest, then this quest can be said to be a failure!
At this stage, there are obviously still many tasks to be completed by them, don't you see that those parchment rolls are piled up so high?
The sooner you complete the main quest at this stage, will you be able to take on other quests?
If it can be picked up, will it be distributed as a side quest?
Shiro thinks the same way, and so do the other players!
So they all do their best to make the old butler identify with themselves for the sake of those possible side quests!
After the three of them determined their rooms, they all gathered in the white room, and they began to discuss the next countermeasures!
"What's next?" After Bailey said this, her eyes looked at Bai with some light.
"Of course it's to gather intelligence!" The cat lover said weakly, looking like a very decadent uncle, and his gaze was always on Bai's body, "Where to collect it is the key!" ”
Bai was a little speechless, and couldn't help but complain in his heart, "What are you looking at me for?" Now that you have an idea, let's just say it! It's like it's testing someone! ”
Abandoning the trace of unhappiness in his heart, Bai said in a tone without any discussion: "I'll go to the guild!" ”
"Huh! It's so cunning! Brother Helok! After Bailey heard Bai's words, she pouted directly, showing her dissatisfaction.
"Who told you not to say it first?" Bai pouted with some disdain and said.
"Then I'll go ask the merchants!" It seems that in order to preempt a good source of information, the moment Bailey's words fell, Bailey raised her small hand and said loudly.
"I'll just go ask those little thugs!" The cat lovers did not fight with Bai and determined their own intelligence source.
"It's not too early, let's hurry up! Come back here before dinner to share information! "I said it in vain to signify the end of this meeting.
"Got it!" After the two answered, they left the hotel together and headed for their respective goals!
Shiro's target is the Adventurer's Guild in this town, which is arguably the easiest place to get relevant information!
Because Shiro has the task parchment scroll brought from the old butler, which is printed with the earl's family crest, if you show this, the adventurer's guild will cooperate with it with all its might!
After all, this kind of thing appears in a small town, and it is impossible for the guild to not have the corresponding information!
The Adventurer's Guild is very easy to find, because it is a public trust organization, it is built in a very conspicuous place, and it covers a large area, which is much larger than the guild building that appeared when Bai first entered the dungeon!
The guild is still operating in the form of a tavern, and after approaching the guild building, Bai found that there were not many people inside, and the already large building was extremely empty!
This is actually a good sign, the more people in the guild, the more people there are who have nothing to do!
The way it looks now only shows that all adventurers have their own jobs!
Bai looked around and found that there was no one else except for two people who looked like young ladies and sisters at the counter, who had nothing to do there!
So Bai walked up, as if he had found Bai's figure, the two of them were quickly shocked, and the next moment a bright smile appeared on the idle-looking face!
I have to say that the face changes so fast!
The two female employees are not very old, and they look like they are seventeen or eighteen years old, but they look very capable, and they have obviously been honed in the workplace!
"Hello, is there anything I can do to help you?" When Bai walked in, the young lady standing on the left hand side asked very politely.
"I want to ask for information about this!" With that, Shiro took out the parchment roll and put it on the counter.
The female clerk took the parchment roll in her hand, and when she opened it, the expression on her face suddenly stiffened, and the other female clerk also froze after taking a curious look at it!
"Excuse me, please wait in the reception room for a while, we'll get the information we've gathered soon!" The clerk with the parchment said apologetically, then turned and walked into a room behind her.
"Please follow me!" The rest of the one, after asking for instructions, walked to the second floor with Shiro!
The second floor here is the reception room, where the reception of special requests and the communication between guild staff and adventurers are basically carried out.
"Have a cup of tea, please, and wait a minute!" After taking Shiro to a small room on the second floor, the female clerk who led the way served Shiro a cup of tea, put it on the only coffee table, and then withdrew.
Although she was very much like staying to hear what was going on, there was no one on the first floor anymore, and someone needed to go there to watch, so he had to leave the room with regret and go to the first floor to work!
didn't let Bai wait long, the door was opened, but it was not the female clerk who walked in to get the information, but a powerful uncle with five holes!
