Chapter 442: Flying Dragons Infested (5,000 Words First Monthly Pass Recommendation Ticket)
"Unexpectedly...... Something like this happened......"
Professor Cabbage looked at the golden cobblestone handed over by Sherlock, and showed a terrifying look:
"So, Professor Bacon was kidnapped by someone, and Xueba may have been kidnapped because he found some clues?"
"As you can see, Professor Cabbage, the matter has involved the hired lich of our dungeon, and this is not only a matter for the College of the Dead, but also for the benefit of our dungeons in the Eternal Kingdom."
After Sherlock finished speaking, Professor Cabbage nodded:
"I see, please come with me, and I'll take you to the headmaster."
————————
In the small room, a lich in a cloak stood by the window, just overlooking the entire Academy of the Dead.
Today is another leisurely day at the Academy of the Dead.
"Bang Bang Bang"
There was a sound of a hammer door outside the door.
The cloaked lich turned back and said:
"Please come in."
The door opened, and Professor Cabbage walked in with Sherlock and his three small animals.
"Headmaster, there's something about Professor Bacon, and I feel I might need to report back to you some new information."
As soon as Professor Cabbage came in, he said straight to the point.
……………………
"Will it ...... Was it a joke that Professor Bacon played on us? ”
The headmaster of the Academy of the Dead looked up and said after watching the entire video that Sherlock had brought.
But the look in the cabbage professor's eyes in front of him seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?" "Same.
"Well, I see, the situation is really serious, and we should pay some attention to it."
The headmaster of the Academy of the Dead propped his chin and nodded:
"I noticed that Professor Bacon mentioned the College of the Dead at the end of the illusion, did he leave any important clues in the Academy of the Dead?"
"I think so too, can you take us to Professor Bacon's room?"
Sherlock said.
"Of course, please come with me."
——————
As one of the teachers of the College of the Dead, and single, Professor Bacon is, of course, like all the other single teachers, living in the faculty dormitory of the College of the Dead.
The teacher's dormitory is one person, and each dormitory is a one-bedroom living room, equipped with a kitchen, toilet and bathroom.
"This is Professor Bacon's room."
When the dormitory skull opened Professor Bacon's room with a spare key, the smell of dust and haze that had been uninhabited for a long time came to his face.
Unlike the forbidden-for-all Professor Bacon, his room was very cluttered, as if a thief had entered before leaving.
Professor Cabbage and the headmaster stood in the doorway, looking around.
"Ah, I mentioned to Professor Bacon before that the room needs to be cleaned more, and it seems that I didn't listen to it at all."
The headmaster said in an embarrassed tone.
After all, Professor Bacon was a teacher at the College of the Dead, and he was seen by Sherlock in such a messy way, and as the headmaster, he was more or less embarrassed.
"It's really difficult to find clues in a room like this."
Professor Cabbage was unsparing in his criticism, even when Professor Bacon was likely to be missing.
"No, it's not difficult."
Sherlock walked to one of the walls of Professor Bacon's room, which was plastered with pictures and news posts.
"I see."
——————————
The Victorians eventually set off, and Lilo decided to follow Sherlock's example and arrive at her destination first and set up the rune portal, rather than the traditional expedition with a large army.
So the scale of the final departure was only a dozen wagons, carrying eighty people, and other materials for setting up the rune magic array.
The leader is Count Lancelot, who knows a lot about human society, and the hamster boss who followed him and was responsible for setting up the rune magic array.
As for why the hamster boss arranged the rune magic array, it was the result of Queen Lilo's overnight special training, as for the result, judging from the hamster boss sobbing along the way, while constantly reviewing against the small book, it seems a little worrying.
Of course, the hamster boss sobbed not because the rune magic array taught by Queen Liluo was too difficult, but because of their three hamster brothers, this time it was the first time since birth, and this parting was like a faint homesickness, I was outside, and you were inside.
However, aside from the worried Lancelot, and the hamster boss who was worried about it, the other players were still very happy, after all, this was the vanguard of the attack on Yorkland, and if they were not good, they would be able to meet the enemies of Yorkland first, and then defeat them, snatch their equipment, and take their horses, just thinking about it is absolutely very happy.
Of course, there is a price, and Lancelot said:
"Our main task this time is to find a suitable location and establish a stable base, we may not be able to return for more than ten or twenty days, please be mentally prepared!"
This means that there is no way to do daily tasks for more than ten or twenty days?! Prestige, the source of in-game currency is zero.
Most of the players are not happy, and they don't waste anything on the way to the game, but even so, there are still a lot of people who want to follow.
Lancelot ended up picking the eighty men with the best discipline, as for the rest? The discipline is too poor, take it out and die, maybe kill others, it's better to wait until the stronghold is established, and after the rune magic array is established, let them teleport directly to fight.
Lancelot has given up on himself anyway, and no longer has the illusion of letting these players fight like a normal army.
The carriage convoy made its way leisurely across a large meadow outside the Moonlit Forest, and on the first carriage was led by the wife of the Earl of Lancelot, the man who claimed to have the right to inherit the Duke of York, who had been shot with a soft bow and arrow.
His name is Gnevelle.
"Isn't it Gnevelle, is it a man or a woman?"
In the carriage behind, a member of the [For Lao Xia's Night] guild, Ou ate spears, with a confused face, and looked at his companions on the side with the carriage swaying leisurely and asked.
"Huh? How do you suddenly ask such a question. The leopard's head looked at Ou Eat Spear with a confused expression.
"It must be a man, didn't the elf NPC say it before, it's a boy, and there are a few other people who take care of him closely, and they also say it's a boy."
One of the players on the side quickly continued.
"Oh, we haven't seen it with our own eyes, and it's called Gnavier, this is the name of King Arthur's wife, right? It's obviously a female setting, and she's married to Lancelot. ”
Soft also sat in the carriage and expressed her opinion, she suddenly thought of something, and clapped her hands at once:
"Yes, will it be in preparation for the launch of the marriage system in the future? After all, many online games have a marriage system, and maybe "Dungeon" will also launch a marriage system. ”
"A goblin married to a beastman? The picture is so beautiful, the key is that I can still imagine it. ”
As soon as Ou ate the spear, everyone in the whole car let out laughter, and it seemed that everyone was in a good mood.
However, the carriage in front of him suddenly stopped, and Ranlot soon saw Lancelot, who was sitting in the first carriage, jump out of the carriage, as well as the hamster, and Gnavel, and the other players also got out of the carriage.
"What's the situation?"
Ou ate the spear for a moment, but no one knew it, after they got out of the car, they walked over, and saw that in front of Victoria's convoy, there was a piece of charred earth, and some pieces of wood and metal, and the cooked cattle, sheep and horses fell to the ground, not smoking, apparently they had been cooked for a while.
And what makes people a little disgusting is that in addition to these animals, there are also some humanoid creatures that have also been burned here.
Not far away, you can still see a few depressed people sitting on the ground, and a few people with severe burns.
It looked as if they had bumped into a convoy that had been attacked by missiles.
But there are no missiles in the game world, at most they are magic cannons, but the power of magic cannons will not cause such a scene.
Because if they were really attacked by the magic cannon, I'm afraid there wouldn't be even a scum left now.
Lancelot looked at the large scorched land in front of him, and he couldn't believe it, what was going on here?
Those who were sitting in the distance had apparently seen the Victorians coming, and a few of them stood up, and they came over with a grim face.
"Are you from Glitter Town? What about my son? Didn't he come with you? ”
One of them, a man with a big beard, but most of his beard had been burned off, looked at him with hope in his eyes.
"Excuse me, we're ......"
Lancelot was about to reveal his identity, but the players around him were already chirping:
"That's right, we're from Shining Gold Town!"
"Do you have any assignments for us?"
"If there is any task, rest assured and boldly hand it over to us, there is only a task that we can't receive, and there is no task that we can't complete!"
"That's right, that's right!"
"We're not from Shining Gold, we're from Victoria!"
"Do you sand sculptures? Why don't you take on the task and don't be Victorians? In this case, answering the questions honestly is the right choice! ”
The people in front of him, who had just suffered, were a little dazed by the players' words, but Lancelot quickly replied:
"I'm sorry, we're not from Glitter Town, we're from Victoria, but may I ask, what's going on here? What struck you? ”
Lancelot asked about this, a large part of the reason was to find out if there was any danger nearby, otherwise, if his own team also encountered a situation like the other party, it would inevitably be a little embarrassing, although the players can be resurrected, but Lancelot knows very well that he can't, and Gnavelle next to him is even more impossible.
Even Lancelot himself didn't want to admit it, maybe he was careful to protect Gnavier a little bit, and it was really just a little bit.
"It's a wyvern! We've been attacked by a wyvern! That evil wyvern swooped down and spat at us! He made the whole area his own hunting ground! ”
"My family was burned to death by that evil creature!"
"We must take revenge!"
The person in front of him immediately cried out in pain, even all the players who had a game mentality, seeing this situation, they couldn't help but feel a little compassionate.
It's miserable after all.
"That's ......," the hamster boss nodded, and was about to beckon everyone to get into the carriage and leave together, when suddenly there was a sound in the distance.
A group of people, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, and a few people on horseback, were rushing towards this side, and they were watching the convoy here, and the speed of the coming was even faster.
The bearded man who was negotiating with the players saw the group of people and ran over excitedly, shouting:
"Son! Son! ”
Obviously, that group of people should be the people of Shining Gold Town.
"Prepare for battle!"
I don't know who shouted in the crowd of players, and soon the sound of pulling out the weapon of the year of brushing Lala, even Lancelot was so frightened that he almost pulled out the weapon reflexively, but after he reacted, he hurriedly called the people behind him:
"Put away your weapons, not bandits! Not bandits! ”
Because they don't have a lot of people, they all pretend to be caravans this time, planning to sneak into Yorkland and then establish a stronghold, because Queen Lilo plans to fight a vassal succession war, not a full-scale war of aggression, so as long as Yorktown Castle is taken, the war is basically over, although from the perspective of inheritance law, many things are untenable.
Lancelot winked at the players, but the players, who were excited at the sight of the horses and equipment, were a little hesitant to actually put away their weapons.
It was Gnavelle who stood up and said to everyone sincerely:
"Please believe me, I know the mayor of the town of Shining Gold, he took me in when I was at my most dangerous and helpless, he is not single-mindedly on the side of the evil Duke of York, in fact, he is not our enemy, but the object we can fight for."
After Gnavelle said this, the players were still a little hesitant, and Grabbing Root Treasure followed up:
"Put away your weapons, maybe there's a plot later."
Ah Fei also waved his hand and said:
"Put away your weapons, there aren't many good things on the other side, don't rush to fight first."
The heads of the other guilds said similar things, and the players who were basically guild members put away their weapons when they heard what the guild leader or the people in charge said.
Of course, the discussion has not stopped, but since the number of players is only eighty, the special expression of the player's unique disorder and chaos is not particularly obvious.
Lancelot and Gnavelle breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them put away their weapons, and as for the hamster boss, he frowned the whole time, as if he didn't feel very happy because the journey was delayed.
The group quickly ran in front of the Victorians, and at the odds was a warrior on a horse, at least judging by the armor he was wearing.
"Who are you? Why is it here? ”
Because the number of Victorians was not large, and I didn't see a few people with bows and crossbows, those people from the shining gold town did not approach cautiously, but a large group of people ran directly over, stood in front of them, and the leading warrior asked after sweeping a circle.
"Uncle Mayor!"
Gnavier lifted her hood, and in her very feminine countenance, she showed an expression that was about to cry, and the warrior on the horse immediately jumped off the horse, and walked up briskly in disbelief:
"Gnievelle?! I've been worried about you, and thought you were caught and killed by Victoria's wildlings, great! Thank you, Holy Lord! ”
The warrior suddenly hugged Gnavelle into his arms, not paying the slightest attention to Lancelot's eyes widening beside him.
However, when he mentioned the Victorian Savage, Gnavier's expression changed subtly, and then he pushed away Uncle Mayor, who was holding him, a little embarrassed, and then pointed to the players behind him:
"They're Victorians."
"Brush!"
Mayor Mare drew his weapon at once, then shielded Gnavelle behind him, and looked warily into the open area, as if he was worried about the sudden rush of ambushes.
Players are excited when they see an NPC draw their weapons, and if there is a fight, we can't be blamed for not refraining.
The men who followed the mayor with all kinds of weapons were also on alert, but before the conflict could escalate, Gnavier stepped forward and said:
"Uncle, things are not what you think, and the Victorians are not savages, they helped me fight against the Duke of York! They will help me reclaim my dukedom and the realm that rightfully belongs to me! ”
Hearing Gnavelle say this, Mayor Mare hesitated for a moment, looked at the players in front of him who didn't look nervous at all, and then he put away his weapon and looked at Gonevere again:
"No one can resist the Duke of York, not even the Victorians who defeated the blonde George, the next Duke of York's attack will be even more fierce, you are just killing yourself, you should listen to my Gnevel, go to the Empire, where you can live an ordinary life."
Gnavier lowered her head and did not answer the mayor's words, and the mayor sighed:
"I knew there was no way to convince you."
He took two steps and walked towards the survivors, saying to Lancelot and the players:
"I'm sorry, Victorians, if you want to go anywhere, get out of here as soon as possible, there are dragons here, it's not safe there now, may the Lord bless you."
