Chapter 9: The Tears of Joselyn
Joselyn's body is translucent, glowing slightly blue. As an Assassin, Xie Lang didn't even feel even the slightest breath emanating from her.
Princess Josephine is a character from a thousand years ago, and if there were no accidents, she should have died long ago, and this should be her soul.
"Warrior, you're the first person I've seen in thousands of years!" Jocelyn spoke, and her voice was gentle and delicate, very beautiful. "My stories are recorded in my diary, would you like to do me a favor?"
Xie Lang realized that this should be a task, and the difficulty of this task will definitely not be low, the story of the Headless Horseman Cade and Princess Joseline is indeed touching, but this is not the standard for Xie Lang's heart to accept or not accept the task, as long as there is a chance to improve, no matter how difficult it is, it is impossible to let it go.
Of course, Xie Lang can't say what he thinks most bluntly, and he also needs some skill to take on tasks, he has been reading a lot of books recently, and he has learned some skills in talking to NPCs.
"Dear Princess Joselin, the story of you and the hero Cade is tearful, and I am willing to do everything I can to help you for this sincere love." Although this may sound awkward, it is believed that it will be very useful to Joserine.
"That's great, my Cade is suffering and suffering, I want you to help him, that's my only wish." The light on Joserine's body became fainter and fainter, and her figure became blurred, "This is the only token that Cade gave me, I hope it can help you!" Joselene's figure disappeared completely, and the faint blue light gathered together, slowly drifting towards Xie Lang, who reached out and held it gently, it was a ring, the blue gem on the ring, like Princess Joserin's tender eyes.
Sealed Joceline's Tears (Elite): +1 for all stats, with skill: lethal immunity, which can be immune to a critical attack damage and gain invincibility for one second. Cooldown: 24 hours. Can't be dropped, can't be traded.
Just looking at the attributes are already quite good, and that lethal immunity is even better, when Joselyn was pierced in the chest by Cade, maybe it was this skill that saved her life, became the only survivor of that battle, and wrote this diary.
It's just, what the hell is going on to be sealed, can the seal still be lifted? Xie Lang reverie.
However, getting such a superb ring for no reason is really pie-in-the-sky, no, of course not.
Xie Lang looked at the content of the mission, and simply wrote that he saved the Headless Horseman Cade, and when he saw the difficulty of the mission, he already faintly wanted to vomit blood.
It's an S-level mission.
The sealed Tears of Joselyn is one of the rewards of the mission, as well as some experience and gold, but behind the rich rewards, the punishment is also very heavy, once the mission fails, this superb ring will immediately become a curse, level reduction, and will permanently deduct 5 upgrade attribute points. You must know that each level of promotion is only five attribute points, and once you fail, it is equivalent to being one level lower than others forever, and this punishment is not heavy.
The arrows have been fired, and there is no turning back. The sealed Tear of Joseline was already on her hand and could not be taken off under any circumstances.
At this time, a teleportation array appeared in front of me, and it suddenly occurred to me that under the swamp, there was actually a teleportation point, and it was only to highlight the authenticity of the game that it was made to fall into the swamp. But it didn't feel very good.
Walking into the teleportation array, the white light lingered, and the next scene appeared immediately, Xie Lang was back on the swamp, but without the blue phosphorus fire and disgusting carrion.
It's dawn.
The forest looks gloomy at night, but in the light of the rising sun, it looks alive.
Xie Lang quickly found his way out and returned to the small town of Aiper. If you don't experience it yourself, who can imagine that this somewhat dilapidated town in front of you was so brilliant back then.
After a day and a night of consumption, Xie Lang's physical strength has been a little exhausted, although the body will be in a state of sleep after entering the game, and the game helmet will also release some slight current to regulate the state of the body, but after all, there is a gap with real sleep, if you change to a higher-level helmet or game warehouse, this situation will be slightly better.
Xie Lang had an injury to his foot and couldn't move much, but his hands were not idle, and he did some simple stretching and strength exercises. Before I came into contact with virtual online games, the most I usually did when I didn't go to work was to climb mountains, run, or fitness, which is not exclusive to Gao Fushuai or Bai Fumei, as long as you want, anyone can enjoy this kind of sweaty pleasure.
After sweating a little, the whole person feels comfortable, rinse it, and be full of energy. In order not to delay too much time, it will be launched again after filling your stomach.
At this time, it was already noon during the game time, and the sun was like fire, frying the earth. But an even more fiery piece of news spread in the small town of Epper. Serena, the daughter of the lord of Olin City, adjacent to the town of Epper, was taken captive, and the initiator was none other than the Headless Horseman Cade. To this end, the Lord of Olin City has released an S-rank mission to kill the Headless Horseman Kade and save Serena.
As soon as the quest was released, it spread like a plague among players. No matter who you are, you can't resist the temptation of the rich rewards of S-class missions.
Xie Lang was a little puzzled in his heart, the mission he received from Joselin was completely opposite to this mission, it was also an S-class mission related to the Headless Horseman Cade, one was to save and the other was to kill.
What's even more depressing is that once others kill the Headless Horseman Kaide to complete the mission, it means that his mission has failed, in other words, if he wants to complete this task, he not only has to face powerful elite monsters, but also has to face pressure from many players, he thinks about it, but the more he thinks about it, the more chaotic it becomes.
With a slap on the head, what's the use of just thinking about this, improving strength is the most important thing at present, only with enough strength can it be possible to complete this S-level task. He looked at Joselen's Tears, which had been sealed on his hand, and the ring was on his hand, and he could not take it off under any circumstances.
Xie Lang took the steppe wolf to open the knife, practiced for a whole morning, with the continuous increase in strength, Xie Lang didn't even need to attract monsters, three or five steppe wolves, he directly rushed into the monster group to kill, the speed is not much faster than before. Although the monster has not much experience, it is fast enough, and it has been killed until the afternoon, during which a leather leggings have been exploded, and the attributes can only be regarded as average, but it is better than nothing, Xie Lang wears it on his body.
As the level increases, the steppenwolf has less experience. Originally, I wanted to practice for a while, but I had to find another suitable monster farm.
He was about to leave, walking in the direction of the forest, when suddenly something swept over the corner of his eye.
It's a treasure chest.
Chests will randomly refresh on any map, divided into five levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and the higher the map, the higher the chance of refreshing the high-level chest.
The treasure chest in front of him is a little rusty, and the level should not be high, and Xie Lang doesn't want the level of the treasure chest to be too high, because high-level treasure chests are generally locked, Xie Lang has no unlocking key and has not learned locking skills, if the treasure chest is locked, it will be a pity.
Xie Lang squatted down and saw that it was a bronze treasure chest, and his luck was not too bad, the treasure chest was not locked.
I put my hand into the treasure chest and touched it, fifty-three copper plates came to my hand, and I touched it again, this time it was a paper thing, it should be a book. Xie Lang hurriedly took it out, and sure enough, it was a skill book, and it was also an assassin's skill book.
Broken Rib, dealing 100% ATK damage to the target, slowing the target for 5 seconds with a 1-minute cooldown.
A very good control skill. As a class with a lot of control, the importance of skill to Assassins cannot be overstated. I don't know if it's God's favor or too good luck, so that Xie Lang, who is just a rookie, has a few good skills, but it is not enough to have skills alone, only by perfectly integrating each skill can he exert strong combat power.
The treasure chest is really a good thing, if this skill book is sold in the market, it should be able to sell for a good price, but Xie Lang will definitely not sell it, and improving his strength is more important than everything at present.
After learning the skill book, go to touch the treasure chest, which is already empty, and after a while, the system will refresh the empty treasure chest.
Walking into the forest, I met some level 7 monsters, and I felt that the efficiency was not bad, so I stayed there and brushed up the monsters. With the improvement of strength and the increasing proficiency of combat operations, the combat process is also handy. It wasn't until evening, when it was dark, that he returned to the town of Aiper!
The night in the town of Epper is as lively as ever. Shaeron made his way through the crowd and straight to the library. As the player's strength continues to improve, no matter how strong the Headless Horseman Kaide is, he will eventually be defeated one day. All Sherron's need to do now is get ahead of the rest of the players. But this is not a task that can be completed by killing a few monsters at random.,And the content of the task prompt is too little.,If you want clues, you have to find them yourself.,You may be able to find what you're looking for in the library.。 There are historical documents related to the town of Aiper, which are somewhat mutilated, but there should be some clues.
I read several books related to the town of Aiper in a row, nothing more than an introduction to the development history of the town and the like, and did not find any information with practical use, but when he saw a book about the war in the town of Aiper, there was a paragraph of information related to Cade.
From the book, I learned that the one who betrayed Cade back then turned out to be his lieutenant Bai Lei, who was equally powerful, but he was unwilling to live in the shadow of Cade all the time, and was finally used by the demons to kill Cade by trickery. Cade's sacrifice completely changed the course of the campaign, and the defeat of the war led to the demise of the prosperous nation. Although Baire, who was used by the demons, obtained an immortal body, his soul has been sinking in depravity and darkness.
Xie Lang sighed, in fact, human nature is really terrible sometimes, because of personal desires that lead to the destruction of the entire country.
Lake Pampas, Shaeron suddenly thought of such a name in Princess Joseline's diary. That's where she and Caede agreed to be happy for the rest of their lives, and I wonder if Caed, who has no head, will remember this place.
He must remember.
