Chapter 42: Two Teams
"No thanks, this is our team's points...... In the future, if it is useful, just call us......"
"My name is Nanfeng and this is my communication ID."
The snow was falling slowly, the sky was completely dark, and the forest was silent.
The young man limped through the knee-deep snow, came to Fang Yuan, and stretched out his hand to him. He had just recovered from his injuries, and his expression was still a little vain, but the look on his face was very serious.
He looked at Fang Yuan, but there was some indescribable color in his eyes, looking at this 'senior adventurer' who was younger than himself.
"Thank you......" The archer on the side also added, "If it weren't for Your Excellency, we would definitely have been wiped out this time." We all know that we can't be the necromancer's opponents. ”
Fang Yu was a little embarrassed and shook hands with the two of them one by one. He actually knew in his heart that this was just a coincidence, if it weren't for such an opportunity, he wouldn't have chosen to attack a level twenty-five boss, let alone save these people.
Of course, it is also the damage of the fire djinn that can just break the defense of the level twenty-five character in a perfect state, if the opponent's level is higher-for example, the black knight he met before, as long as the opponent's shield is up, no matter how much fire djinn he has, it will have no effect.
After all, there is a damage limit for a single fire djinn, and at the same time, the energy level is also very low, once it encounters a higher level of protection skills, the damage attenuation is very obvious. And if it is a boss below level 20, how can it use nineteen fire djinns in front and back plus a fire claw swordsman? It may only take less than half of the number to make the boss go up in smoke.
However, even so, the benefits of killing a level twenty-five boss by skipping the level are still far greater than the pay, not to mention the possible loot, the experience alone is enough to make Ji Ta rise to half of the sixth level, and Fang Yu himself has also increased the experience by a quarter of the level.
Of course, the two of them gained the most experience as the main participants, and the others were relatively less, but the whole team, including others who were not involved in this mission, will also gain some experience.
All in all, it was quite a rich experience, not to mention the part that was divided by the people of the 'Shield of Love'.
And then there are the bounties and points given by the adventurer's guild, the wanted order of 'Mountain Cork' was as high as 50,000 miles three years ago, 3,000 points, and it is rumored that the reward has been increased by half recently;
This money is enough to make up for the consumption this time, and there is even money to be made.
Alyssa and Kitta both recorded the moment they killed the boss as evidence - Shesta and the Big Cat Man also left a record of the killing of Shankirk outside. With a record, and a somewhat disgusting first level from Shancock, getting the prize money is basically a sure thing.
In comparison, the three hundred points that the 'Lufu Shield' gave them as a thank you were basically a drizzle, and if it weren't for the rules, Fang Yuan wouldn't even want it. After all, the 'Shield of Lufu' team is also in poor shape after this battle, and sometimes a little point is enough to save a life.
However, in this regard, the other party is very generous.
Nanfeng glanced at the white mountains in the distance, and only sighed softly: "This adventure group originally came together for the goal of making money, and the failure of this mission can only prove that my ability as a group leader is insufficient, and it is natural that someone will leave because of this." ”
“…… However, there will always be people who will stay, and these hundreds of points are of little significance to those who stay, so it is better to seriously summarize the lessons and lessons in order to succeed in the next mission. ”
Fang Yu nodded slightly when he heard this, he was also half a group leader—and he was transforming into the position of the leader of the real adventure group, so he naturally understood the meaning of these words.
He is not perfect, and often goes blind, and even makes impulsive decisions - just a fluke, and every time in the end, he can save the day. But luck doesn't always come forever, and if he ignores the warnings of these experiences, one of the wrong decisions will one day ruin the party's future.
This is by no means alarmist. There are thousands of adventure parties in the Adventurer's Guild, large and small, registered or even unregistered, in Aitalia, and people come together for a variety of goals, but these adventure groups are scattered and invisible, sometimes just because of a failed mission, a bad decision, and then they fall apart.
For example, the Dawn Star, why not?
Luckily, they still had the opportunity to learn from the lessons, which was the greatest favor for an adventuring group. As the other person said, nothing is more important than having a chance of regretting.
Fang Yu took a breath lightly, this time he went to Aimao Castle, in fact, there were quite a few mistakes, such as insufficient preparation in advance, which led to the rush to almost kill himself and Ji Ta during the underground battle.
Of course, there are also good sides, such as the last battle with the boss, which is completely self-respecting in his plan - in the dark, Fang Yu also seems to recognize a problem - being well prepared, maybe it is the first lesson that a qualified team leader needs to learn.
If you are an ordinary person, you may feel cringe because of the lesson of this failure; But Fang Yu understands that the experience of every one of the chosen ones who leave a legend is by no means smooth sailing.
He couldn't help but recall the first lesson 'R' had taught him about the Elect when he was in the community.
What is the Electee?
Competitor or Explorer?
But none of that matters -
"The important thing is the attitude."
"Attitude?"
"To be precise, it's the correct understanding of oneself."
"Only when you know what your goals are and how to achieve them, can you not feel lost about the road ahead."
"But wouldn't it be too utilitarian if everything was done towards the goal? Is it not incompatible with the pursuit of the Elect? ”
Fang Yu remembered that after he asked this question, the man sent a series of laughing expressions.
"Only those who are confused will be mechanical."
"Remember, the little pigeon, whether arrogant or cowardly, is actually a sign of not being able to see himself. Because only inner confusion can be swayed by the outside world, and a person has inner strength, he can easily see through the gains and losses——"
His portrait in the community is actually a long-tailed sword plover, and in the mouths of his uncle and aunt, it is the only memento his parents left him. It's just that the man has been stubbornly believing that it was a pigeon and has given him a nickname based on it.
After a long time, he didn't bother to refute it.
But what the other party said is right, as long as you are not confused, you will never flinch.
It wasn't until today that Fang Yu understood the meaning of these words.
Ever since he entered the Star Gate, he had become more and more aware of the significance of that chance encounter in the community. Many of the things that man said are now being prophesied.
It's just that to this day, he doesn't know who is behind that 'R' ID.
He only vaguely felt that with the other party's level, he might be far from being an unknown person. But how could one of the well-known electees on the front line have the leisure time to teach him an informal student in the community?
Of course, the other party didn't admit that he was a student.
This seemed to have become an unresolved question in Fang Yuan's mind, and as it grew, the curiosity about this question increased exponentially instead of subsided.
Unfortunately, there are no clues at all, and none of the well-known Electors have anything to do with the ID 'R'.
Maybe it's just a meaningless vest.
The snow fell almost silently.
The temperature was a little low, Fang Yu couldn't help coughing lightly, and the maid lady on the side took Fang Yuan's alchemist windbreaker from Ji Ta's hand and covered him. Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and turned back to Xie Sista to thank him, but the latter only nodded indifferently.
After a brief conversation with them, Nanfeng went on to deal with the affairs of his own group.
He asked the former musketeers to help him pass on the message, assuring them that he would testify for them in the Adventurers' Guild - while the guild bounty didn't necessarily require eyewitness evidence, it would be quicker if someone was willing to vouch for it.
For Fang Yu and his party, who urgently needed time and improvement, this was a matter of relief in the snow, and he also thanked the other party.
"Is that Miss Priest alright?"
The musketeer shook his head: "It's inevitable that something like this will happen during the adventure, just wait a while......"
Fang Yu couldn't help but recall the time when the priest's lady shed tears in front of the corpse of the guard swordsman before—because in the state of mind control, the guard swordsman accidentally died at the hands of the strengthened black swordsman in order to avoid hurting her.
And that happened to be the last life of the other party in Aitalia.
That's when he learned that the south wind had asked the group to come out and find a way out—not only because of their low rank, but also because the archers and musketeers had only one last chance to be resurrected, and the little fat man and the priest only had two or three chances to be resurrected.
And when they chose to face the boss with him, they actually took a lot of risks.
But for the sake of their team, several people still chose to stay.
Perhaps, as Nanfeng said, this adventure party does not maintain much faith, but for those who are protected by the team, it is still a place of warmth and memory for survivors.
Even if the electors are free and easy, they will not easily give up the chance to survive, and the relationship between people is obviously the more important thing - Fang Yu knew, and then the archers also expressed their willingness to stay.
And the little fat man and Miss Priest are naturally the same.
It's just that the former had a blue nose and swollen face and was embarrassed to come to see him, so he only let Nanfeng convey his gratitude to Fang Yu and his party.
The musketeer looked behind him, and then said to the other plover, "Maybe it's not necessarily a bad thing for the 'bald head'." ”
'Bald head' is the nickname of the guard swordsman, although Fang Yu doesn't know why the other party has such a nickname, although the other party has a mediocre flat head, but obviously has a shallow short hair......
However, he at least learned from Nanfengkou that the guard swordsman called 'bald head' and the priest lady were actually lovers, but the relationship between the two had always been inseparable, and after this incident, maybe there would be some changes.
Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know why he felt relieved when he heard about it.
He just saved these people unintentionally, on the one hand, for the boss, but also for the identity of the dragon worship 'messenger', although the process was smooth, but the battle was actually dangerous and dangerous.
The look of happiness on these people's faces, the little things that talk to them, the relationship between people, that is actually just a story in another team, what does it have to do with him?
But Fang Yu felt a little quiet in his heart.
Because behind the dazzling aura he looked up, he realized that these ordinary adventure stories, large and small, may be the basis for the world of the Electors behind the Star Gate.
Fame and wealth look dazzling, but when you count them carefully, how can they compare to the mutual watchfulness between people at this moment?
Fang Yu's heart couldn't help but be filled with such feelings.
He silently waited for the others to clean up the battlefield.
And after the south wind took care of the affairs of the team, he came to say goodbye to him, and the shield of Lu Fu came for the sake of Shankok, so naturally he would not stay in the dangerous wilderness for any longer.
What's more, the night of the Blood Thistle Glade is not stable, and who knows if the rumored strange shadow will appear suddenly, so leaving overnight is obviously the best choice.
Before leaving, Fang Yu asked the other party about the lich.
The twenty-fifth level boss naturally didn't dare to keep his hand, so the last explosion also blew the other party to ashes, leaving no living mouth. Of course, there may be some clues left in the other party's relics, but there is not much hope.
Therefore, the South Wind team, who had been in contact with the 'Courier' beforehand, was the only one who knew about it at that time.
It's a pity that Nanfeng and the others don't know much about this matter, although they know everything, they have very little information.
However, they knew very well that the Courier was chasing a target all the way south, and even knew the name of that target, which was called 'Dontans', because of the clues left by the Courier in previous towns.
It was for this reason that the Courier spared them to see if they had anything to do with the lich.
Fang Yu was stunned when he heard the name 'Dontans', wasn't that the head of the Rogessel family two generations ago, and he was almost immediately sure that it was a pseudonym. For when he was underground, the lich had clearly ridiculed the owner of the name, and that tone did not seem to be a hypocrisy.
But the pseudonym at least suggests that the Lich must indeed have a deep connection to the Rogessel family.
In addition, Southwind mentions another thing, it seems that there are other people who are also looking for 'Dontans' - they have met with those people, and they do not seem to be the natives, but the Electors.
Of course, the two sides didn't have much to do with each other, and at that time, Nanfeng and the others didn't know that 'Dontans' was actually a lich.
However, it is not surprising that there are Electors involved in it, and it is normal for someone to find a mission and follow up on it.
The only thing he wasn't sure about was whether or not these Electors were related to the Dragon Cult, and while it sounded a bit fantastical, the Dragonfire Guild and the Rain Listeners had proven that the law that the Electors would not collude with cultists in the normal sense did not apply.
However, due to the limited clues, this speculation is only in his mind.
After exchanging this information and suspicions, the two sides also officially said goodbye.
Nanfeng shook Fang Yuan's hand again.
It's just that this handshake is very different from before.
"There is time to come to Dulun," after sharing the tribulation, only then can we see the true quality of a person, Nanfeng said very sincerely: "When the time comes, we will be the east, and we will do the friendship of the landlord." It's much warmer and more beautiful than this place...... And I heard you're looking for lumberjacks, and we were able to get in touch with some of them. ”
Fang Yu nodded, he was actually quite optimistic about the other party's team, not to mention that Du Lunben was also a stop on their route. However, Ms. Sukui's mission is over, and they may no longer need to contact the local lumberjack team in Dulun.
Nanfeng looked at Fang Yu in front of him, and even had some emotion in his heart. He was at least five years older than Fang Yu, and at the other party's age, he was just a trainee.
If the other party was a youth trainee cultivated by the Grand Guild, he might not be so surprised, but the Free Adventure Group was very different, they were also free recruiters, so they naturally knew the difference.
He was also the Chosen One, and certainly understood what such a distinction meant.
After the age of the Stargate.
Many such subtle differences, and finally shaped a legendary story, the twinkling and dazzling stars in the starry sky, many of which were in their infancy—
Not so glamorous.
Not even known.
……
"The people of Lufu's shield are gone?"
Alyssa patted the snow off her body, walked over to Fang Ou, and handed him a silver snuffbox.
When Fang Ou saw the snuffbox, he recognized it as the one that the 'messenger' had thrown before, and because the battlefield was in shambles, it was only now that the others had found the little thing.
Now I think that the reason why the other party is full of confidence and dares to go to trouble a lich is because of this little thing.
Fang Yu looked carefully at the snuffbox in his hand, it seemed to be silver, silver items all have certain restraint properties against undead creatures, but it is a little ridiculous to say that dealing with a lich.
However, he noticed that the front of the snuffbox was engraved with a wolf emblem, which was known to have many connections to the Rogersel family.
"Is there anything in there?" He asked.
Alyssa shook her head, "Only the leaves of some plants, Kita and Miss Tata said, and they will be able to figure out which type of plant they are when they get back." ”
Fang Yu opened it and sighed, "Don't tell it." ”
"How?" Alyssa was stunned.
"It's the leaves of the Purple Flower King—it's very common in Scepter Bay, and it's all over the mountains in the summer, and I've seen it in the community before."
"Is it famous, Captain?"
Fang Yu nodded: "Its flower is the national flower and family emblem of Tais, do you know that principality?" ”
"Gujun Hunter?"
……
