Chapter 21: The Scarlet Crusader Leader
Hearing Sals talk about the job transfer task, Lei Zhen did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Accept it!" ”
"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry to agree, this task is not simple, let's take a look at this task scroll first." Seeing that Lei Zhen had agreed, Sals handed over the task scroll in his hand.
After Lei Zhen got the scroll, he checked the scroll, and at this time, Sals's voice also rang out at the same time. "The Imperial Agent has reported that Darcy, the leader of the Scarlet Crusade of the Lionheart Empire in the Templar faction, has stepped down from his position as leader due to his old age. Five days ago, he returned to his hometown, Ice Landing City. ”
As if waiting for Lei Zhen to read the information on the scroll, Sals paused and continued, "Ice Landing City is adjacent to Ice City, and it is the military center of the Templar Town camp, and it is similar in nature to Ice City. The sudden arrival of the Scarlet Crusader Commander in the Frontier has made some conservatives in the Empire a little uneasy. Some of the Empire's top brass were also afraid that the Templar camp would come up with some conspiracy, which might be detrimental to the Empire. That's why the Empire has asked Icecity to investigate the purpose of Darcy's trip, but the mission I've asked you for is more than that. ”
After waiting for Lei Zhen to finish reading the task scroll, Sals said with some hesitation: "The task given by the empire is to complete the investigation of the purpose of the previous generation of Scarlet Crusader Commander to Linbing City within 20 days, and the reward is a local skill book." And what I want from you is - kill Darcy! In the last sentence, Sals said word by word.
"What! Kill Darcy? The last generation of Scarlet Crusader Commanders, Teacher, no kidding, right? Lei Zhen's mind was still stuck on the reward of the earth-based skill book, when he suddenly heard Sals's request and almost fell off the stool. You must know that the Scarlet Crusader is a fourth-order elite class of the Templar, and if they can stand out among the fourth-order elite troops and become a leader, their strength will definitely not be weak.
"Master, what strength is Darcy doing now?" Lei Zhen asked with illusions.
"Darcy is old, and his strength has dropped a lot, and it is estimated that it will be the peak of the fourth order at most." Sals took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Estimated? Most? Fourth-order pinnacle? Still 'right'? Teacher, are you kidding me, my current strength is not even a first order! Lei Zhen said with a bitter face.
"That's why I told you before that this task is not that simple, and now it's too late to regret it?" Sals winked mischievously, in a tone that was completely out of step with his age.
"Master, don't tease me, it's wrong for me not to hear your story just now, but you can't let me die!" Lei Zhen looked at Sals with a dejected expression.
"It's not to tease you. Those who can advance to the Scarlet Crusade are all fanatics of the Holy See. In their eyes, no matter what race the rest of the camp is, all of them are heretics and degenerates, so as long as it is a town that they capture, there is basically no living mouth. As a young man, Darcy led the Scarlet Crusaders in raids over a dozen small and medium-sized towns in the eastern part of the Empire, and his hands were stained with the blood of our races. How can this kind of person let him retire in peace? ”
Sals mentioned Darcy, the leader of the Scarlet Crusaders, with a grim expression.
"As for why you were allowed to go, the reason is simple. The Scarlet Crusader has the skill of warning of danger, and as long as someone who is not too much inferior to him appears next to him, he can detect it in advance. So he dodged many assassinations in his life. And with your level, even if you are discovered, the Hazard Warning Skill will never be activated. As a teacher, I believe that with your ingenuity, even if you can't kill Darcy, you can come back alive and safe. ”
Sals changed his tone and continued: "Of course, there will be risks and opportunities. If you can kill Darcy this time, I can not only transfer you to the hidden class - Undead Summoner, but also teach you the second-level summoning spell for free - summon zombie warriors, what do you think? ”
"Level 2 Summoning Spell - Summon Zombie Warrior!" Lei Zhen hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth, "Teacher, I took this task!" ”
"I knew you weren't going to pass up this opportunity. As a teacher, I would like to give you another personal advice, you are a human being, if you can recruit some non-undead troops, without using any undead-related magic, I believe it is easy to blend into Ice City. Once you're in Ice City, remember to go to a hotel called Sunset Twilight, find a man named Lazy Hader, and tell him, 'It's almost dusk, all saints go!' He will help you. ”
Sals looked a little tired and waved his hand at Lei Zhen. "If you don't have anything else, you can go and prepare, I'm a little tired for the teacher."
"Thank you, teacher, apprentice." Lei Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard Sals's words. Politely got up and walked out of the living room.
"Apprentice, that's all the teacher can do for you. How could those old stubborns in the clan know that you have such a powerful talent? A hidden profession has even added so many restrictions to its verbose nature, if your master is still alive, which of them dares to talk so much nonsense! ”
After the thunder shook out, Sals's face immediately became gloomy. "But since you can get Skeletron's necklace, I believe you must still have hidden strength. If this mission is completed, I'll see where those old stubborn faces go! ”
When Lei Zhen walked out of the door of the Internal Affairs Hall of Cold Ice City, he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, turned around and looked, and found that it was the two brothers of the Blood Blade Gang, Blood Blade and Blood Blade.
"Brother Lei!" The Blood Blade greeted Lei Zhen from afar.
"Blood brother, what a coincidence! I don't know what happened to the Interior Office? Lei Zhen hurriedly returned the salute.
"Nonsense, what can you do when you come to the Interior Office, awaken the characteristics! You're obviously ....." Blood Feng on the side interjected at this time.
"Blood Edge! How do you talk to Brother Lei! Hurry up and apologize to Brother Lei. "The Blood Blade quickly stopped the words under the Blood Blade.
"No need to apologize, no need to apologize, I'm a little confused these days, don't blame Brother Xuefeng, hehe" Lei Zhen smiled awkwardly, his thinking was still stuck three days ago. Now that I think about it, three days is indeed enough for the Blood Blade to break through to level 10.
"I don't know what level of trait Brother Lei has awakened?" In order to avoid Lei Zhen's embarrassment, Blood Blade asked.
Lei Zhen was still a little hesitant, but the blood blade next to him was already impatient, "Boy, don't say anything if you're sorry." To tell you, our boss has awakened a rare A-level trait of war - offensive enhancement! ”
Lei Zhen looked at Xuefeng's somewhat smug face and was unhappy for a while, thinking that the A-level characteristics were a fart, and he dared to talk to Lao Tzu here. So he said: "Congratulations to the blood brother, the little brother is lucky, and the awakening is the S-level characteristics of the comprehensive class." After Lei Zhen finished speaking, he looked at Xue Feng with a smile, only to see that Xue Feng grew his mouth, and his expression was like seeing a ghost. Lei Zhen believed that even if Blood Feng handed his fist to his mouth now, he would be able to stuff it in.
Looking at the expressions of Lei Zhen and his younger brother, Blood Blade shook his head helplessly. "Brother Lei, don't be like your brother, congratulations to my brother here! Why don't you take this opportunity to celebrate with the Blood Blades? ”
