Chapter 31: The Night of the Witch

The Harvest Festival is the most solemn festival of the year in the North, and it is also the birthday of Hyunra, one of the seven gods of harvest.

On this day.

Villagers from the surrounding areas of the north will gather in the nearby main city to participate in this grand festival.

In previous years, at this time, it was the time when Rhodes was assassinated most frequently.

Because every year before the harvest festival, a large amount of food and supplies are transported to Neverwinter, not for Rhodes, but for the night watchmen at the city walls.

The guards of Neverwinter are responsible for transporting these supplies, and two days before the harvest festival each year, the guards will allocate two-thirds of their men to transport them to the city walls.

Transporting supplies and ensuring the food supply of the Night's Watch at the Walls has been the responsibility of the Wilhelm family for generations, after all, the Night's Watch is only under the orders of the Williamheim family's heirs.

As soon as the Neverwinter Guards leave, the Neverwinter garrison will become very weak, and many witches and assassins especially like to pick this time to assassinate him.

The most exaggerated one.

Five Assassins joined forces on the day of the Harvest Festival.

It put a lot of pressure on Captain Gray and Loth, and on the day of the harvest festival, the streets were full of outsiders, and even if there were a large number of assassins, it would be difficult to tell them.

Since the time of sensibility.

Rhodes had never participated in the festival and could only hide in a safe house every year, looking through a telescope at the lively scene on the street and sighing alone!

This year is special!

There will be a Witch's Night.

The Witch's Night does not happen every year, but is cyclical, usually once every three years, and occasionally once every two years.

Usually the Witch's Night occurs on the first Full Moon after the end of the Harvest Festival.

After the Witch's Night begins.

The sour smell of witches will fill the entire northern realm, and most of the demonic beasts in the territory will enter a state of demonic encounter.

During this time, the demonic beasts of the Misty Forest, including the strange spirits outside the city walls, will become very manic and even kill each other.

The villages near the Misty Forest and the city walls had to take refuge, with those who had money living in hotels and those who didn't living in the basements of castles.

And the night of the witch starts from start to finish.

It will last for more than two months.

During this period, almost all the peasants did not go out to work, but all hid in their houses.

Roth, who is particularly sensitive to the smell of witches, will become very uncomfortable during this period, and his nose will almost fail, and he will not be able to distinguish the scent of witches.

So the beginning of the harvest festival and the period from the night of the witch to the night of the witch have always been the most dangerous times for Rhodes.

And at this moment, Rhodes suddenly remembered the witch Liana, and what he couldn't figure out was instantly understood.

The reason why that witch has never done anything, and has raised so many goblins in the sewers, is probably waiting for the night of the witch!

Thinking of this, Rod felt a chill down his back.

Thankfully, these strangers appeared.

Helped him solve a big crisis.

Otherwise, the witch's plan was really successful, and when the witch night came, so many goblins were all berserk, and Neverwinter would definitely fall into chaos, and maybe even the guards would not be able to carry it.

These witches are getting more and more poisonous.

In order to achieve the goal, he completely disregarded the life and death of others.

Later, when this group of players grew up, Rhodes took the lead in exterminating them and selling them all to the last room!

......

This year, due to the second prince coming to make trouble, coupled with the sudden appearance of a stranger.

Rhodes didn't plan for the Guard Regiment to deliver the supplies, but for the strangers to deliver them.

The northern city wall is more than 100 kilometers away from Neverwinter, and it will take four days to return at the earliest.

Letting the strangers deliver these supplies would have missed the Second Prince's visit to Neverwinter.

He could also give the guard regiment a holiday, he had already heard the rumors, and the soldiers of the guard regiment were going to threaten him with the delivery of supplies, forcing him to pay another two months' salary.

Then spend a relaxing night of the witch.

At the beginning of the spring of the following year, they left their jobs en masse to work in other cities.

Think beautifully!

Of course, in order to prevent the second prince from inquiring about the news, Rhodes decided to stay with His Royal Highness the prince 24 hours a day with Gray to ensure that he would not hear any rumors.

After the people of Fifth Shopping Street left, Rhodes casually posted a task to help the people of Fifth Shopping Street.

------

Mission: Transporting supplies

Difficulty: ⭐⭐

Description: Due to the scarcity of supplies on the Northern Walls, please help the Neverwinter's Guardian Legion transport supplies to the Northern Walls.

Rewards: 10 Silver, 50 Fame, 1000 XP

Note: Deliver the goods too early, the mission fails, complete the mission too early and return to Neverwinter, the mission fails, please keep the time to more than four days.

Note 2: Reputation can be exchanged for things from the castle lord, such as citizenship, qualifications to buy a house, horseback riding permits, and other items.

------

In this mission, Rhodes is considered to be bleeding heavily, if each person is 10 silver, 1000 people add up, which is 500 gold.

The 500 gold earned from Du Jiutian was given away again, although Rod was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe, but there was no way, Rod had no choice in this matter.

You can only succeed and not fail!

Otherwise, he would have to destroy the second prince in order to keep the stranger's secret.

But it's impossible to think about it.

The court wizard next to the second prince was not easy to provoke at all, let alone his personal knight.

Alas, take one step at a time!

As for the prestige value of the quest reward, when he was browsing the forum, he accidentally found a player introducing the prestige system in another game, and Rhodes thought it was a very good way to prostitute himself, so he adopted it.

......

"This transportation task is too pitiful, it actually takes four days."

"I can't afford to go to work."

"The senior party said there was a lot of pressure."

"I've heard that for this mission, the Fifth Shopping Street is bleeding heavily, and it seems that an agreement has been reached with the Five Guilds, and anyone who participates in this mission will receive a gold card from the Fifth Shopping Street."

"Really, really, really for the gold card?"

"I've been playing the game for so many years, and I've applied for the Fifth Shopping Street Gold Card countless times, but every time I have been politely refused, this time I can get a gold card account if I really do a transportation task."

"Believe it or not, the person in charge of the Fifth Shopping Street is going to be announced on the forum soon."

"Gan, for the sake of this gold card, even if I don't want this liver, I have to do this task!"

"Brothers together!"

......

Rhodes looked at the reactions of the players in the forum, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, but he was actually panicked.

I have always been worried that the fifth shopping street will not be able to convince all the players, and when the time comes, the second prince will not be able to defeat him, so he can only choose the final plan.

If you can persuade the strangers, go to the task, and if you can't convince them, just block them all at the resurrection point, and take advantage of the two days to find a craftsman or something, and seal the entire church first.

Then let Loth stand guard at the door.

Kill them until they don't dare to come back to life!

But as far as the current forum reaction is concerned, Rhodes feels that the fifth shopping street is still very appealing, and the people of the five guilds should have no problem, and those casual players also want the so-called gold card.

Rhodes was in the safe house, and after about fifty laps, Roth got down on one knee and reported, "Young master, Alice from the fifth shopping street asks to see you." ”

"The Great European Pai is here." Rod snapped overjoyed.

"Ask her to wait for me in the courtyard and make her a cup of black tea first, and I'll be there shortly." Rhodes was going to tidy up his grooming in a complaining manner.

Just by virtue of his peerless looks.

He didn't believe that he couldn't handle this big European faction, but when he stood in front of the mirror, the whole person was stunned, wearing such an ugly mask, what was there to tidy up.

Rod suddenly dislikes the great wizard Ivan a little, this person's aesthetics are really not good, can you buy a mask to buy a handsome one, this is really a loss!

Rod sighed.

After coming to the courtyard, he gave her a kiss when they met, but this time Alice actually wore white gloves, was this deliberately to prevent him.

"Your Excellency, our president said that 99% of the mobilization has been achieved, and this mission can be completed, when will it be?" Alice said expressionlessly.

"Can you leave today?" Rod asked.

"It should be fine."

"Then help me, thank you, Mr. Zhang Yiming."

"Then I'll go first, Your Excellency the Earl."

"Don't worry Miss Alice, sit down and have a cup of tea, and Rose will make Miss Liana a cup of Teutonic tea."

And Alice, who was standing, didn't know what was going on, and when the girl approached her, her body suddenly sat down by herself.

Alice:???

She really hates this lewd earl, especially when he looks at her eyes, it's really disgusting, just like the three indiscriminate nobles who bully female slaves in the anime.

"Alice, you are really very good-looking, just like the kapok in the courtyard, giving people a very warm feeling."

"Gross!"

Alice feels like she's going to throw up!

"Please, don't say any more."

She really couldn't hold it anymore: "Your Excellency, I really have something to do, I have to leave first." ”

"Let's have a sip of tea first."

Alice picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp on the spot: "I'm done, I'm leaving." ”

"I really don't want to play in the castle for a while."

"Not really." Alice refused.

"Then next time I come to the castle to play, I will ask the chef to prepare food for you, and a romantic candlelight dinner, seeing you, I seem to see kapok in the white moonlight, Alice, the next time you come, I will write you a love poem."

Alice is going crazy.

If it weren't for the president's repeated warnings, she really couldn't help but do it, if it were put in the real world, it would definitely be X harassment.

......

After Alice left.

Rod took off the [Mask Change] and shook off his golden hair, his face full of joy.

Luo Si on the side smiled: "Young master, why do you want to play her." ”

"Because she's so funny!"
