Chapter 851: Mysterious Mission
When Mina and Emperor Yu exchanged words on the wall for a while, they said hello peacefully and parted. --.
This made those players who were still ready to watch the show a little disappointed.
However, they did find a point of conversation from this, that is, the Dark Dragon Guild and Minai and them officially reconciled.
Ignoring the people who were talking, Mina left after solving the problem here, and went to the skill training ground set up in this fortress with Xiaoyue.
In order to ensure the combat power of all the participants, NPCs have spent a lot of resources to improve the combat power of the participants.
And these skill training grounds or some military shops are naturally indispensable.
opened a venue casually, and Mina and Xiaoyue practiced directly here. Their pets were put aside to rest.
Not long after, the thieves also returned.
Looking at the smile on his side, Mina knew that he must have made a lot of money this time.
"Lao Fan, come here." The thief also glanced at his pet and shouted at Mina.
"What's the matter, you can't use up the money, you want to send us some?" Mina said jokingly.
"Hehe, yes, but it's not a gift, it's just a red envelope when you get married in the future." The thief also said as he took out a money bag made of linen and handed it over.
"So much?" Shuina couldn't help but be a little surprised when she looked at the almost tens of thousands of gold coins.
"Well, those things are more valuable than I imagined, and I only sold a few of the drawings, and I actually got hundreds of thousands, but, unfortunately, the money on the side of the Human Empire is not enough, so I can only owe it first."
Minai knew that the thief had gone to the person in charge of the general defense line, and after he discussed it with Tie Feng, they decided to sell all the blueprints that Tie Feng, a guild could not eat, to the Human Empire.
As for what to exchange, this is the sole responsibility of the thief.
"You're not going to convert it all into money, be careful that the gold coin will crush you." Mina knew that there were at least 30 design drawings obtained by the thief, and although not all of them were that valuable, the dwarven clan's technology gave them a lot of room for appreciation.
"Of course not, there are still some military merits, but I don't think military merits have much effect, so I haven't changed much. You also know that this military merit is not worth much, and it is more cost-effective to directly exchange it for money. ”
Mina didn't pay much attention to this aspect, anyway, he knew that this thief also had a way, although he was a little boundless in his actions and words, but he was actually very shrewd.
"By the way, Tie Feng asked me to ask you when you went over his side." The thief also said as he watched as Mina fired ice guns and shot them at the stakes in the distance.
"Well, wait, I'm bait right now, and it's not a good idea to run around with the Lich King." Shuinai was indeed afraid of the Lich King, and secondly, Xiaoyue didn't want to go to the fortress that Tie Feng was in charge of.
A guild team like Tie Feng is not as free as idle players like Mina, and they can find a fortress at will. They must be stationed according to the requirements of the Human Empire, and if necessary, they must be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield. However, the rewards of this guild team are not low, and they are much stronger than idle players like Mina.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to give you this bag of holy stones, it was an unscrupulous profiteer who asked me to bring it." At this time, the thief also handed a fist-sized bag to Shuinai, which contained holy stones of not low quality and grade.
The growth of Shuina's Holy Light Seal must be based on these Holy Stones, although the Holy Light Magic that comes out is very chicken, but Shuina still cultivates it everywhere to see if he can produce any superb Holy Light Magic.
And the Chaos Demon Dragon Gray, who had already sensed the energy of the holy stone, immediately rushed to Shuina's side, rubbing Shuina's body and wanting the holy stone.
Although this Chaos Demon Dragon no longer has to absorb energy to evolve like it did in its infancy at the beginning, this instinctive proximity to energy makes Mina have no choice but to let it go.
After taking out a small half of the holy stone and giving it to Ash, Minai did not absorb the holy stone immediately, but continued to hone the previous ice spear technique.
Now that Mina's Ice Spear Technique has almost reached level 10, and when it is fused into the Elemental Bird, the armor-piercing effect of the Ice Spear Bird will be even more powerful.
As for the thunder-based elemental bird, Minai didn't plan to practice it anymore, so let it continue to fuse the thunder arrow technique, but the special effects of the high-level thunder-based magic were the same, and there was no need to waste time practicing it again.
The thief also saw that there was still a little time, so he also found a stake casually and practiced his skills.
However, the thief's skill is honest, if you really use this stake to practice, then you can only practice it more and more. So after practicing a few times, I felt that there was a way to steal without feeling, so I stopped.
"By the way, Mina, you said that the Lich King has been there for a while, and he hasn't come out for a long time." The thief also asked boredly.
"I don't know what he's doing in an ancient altar deep in the mountains of the Empire of the Dead, but one thing is for sure, he's found me." Mina didn't say a word back.
Minai and the Lich King can be found through the mutual induction of the Book of Elements and the Book of Darkness, although this is very vague, but as long as you combine maps and historical documents, Minai can still determine the approximate location of the Lich King.
And the providers of this map and historical documents are the friends that Mina met when he went to the dark camp.
"Altar? It can't be that the Book of Darkness hasn't been fully activated. The thief also guessed boredly.
"I don't know." Mina shook his head, in fact, he was also a little worried in his heart, but this kind of thing, it was really not his turn to worry.
The next day, when Mina and the others went online, they also went to resupply their backpacks as usual, and then looked for tasks in the battlefield mission area of this fortress.
In this battlefield mission area, a total of ten task boards are erected. I saw that on each 1 meter x 2 meter task board, there were basically dozens of task papers written in light yellow kraft paper.
Most of the missions here are to kill all kinds of undead creatures or collect some undead materials, and there are also some reconnaissance missions or escort missions.
However, anyone can take on the task here. Take Mina as an example, they can only receive the tasks on the fifth task board at most, and the next five, they are not qualified to go next.
The three of them quickly read all the tasks on the five task boards, and then tore off some task papers that they felt were valuable from the task boards.
The torn quest paper will turn into the quest on the player's quest board, but if the quest is repeatable, the same vellum will appear again on the quest board. And if it is the only task today, then the position paper on this position will disappear, revealing the plank underneath.
Since Mina didn't come over to grab the quest like those ordinary players, there were already several blank areas on the task board when they arrived.
However, for those only tasks, Mina didn't pay much attention to them. First, the only task means trouble and difficulty, and second, Mina and they don't really care so much about the quality of this task.
Let's take the task of the skeleton marshal that Mizuna and they received yesterday, in fact, the reward for this skeleton marshal is not high. If they spent the hours yesterday doing the small tasks on the same task board, then their income would not be much lower than the reward of that task, and it would be more comfortable.
As for the discovery of the dwarf's basement and the remains of the camp, it was a lot of luck, and it was basically not part of the quest reward.
However, there are also many people who will be absorbed by this "only" task and continue to pursue it.
"Hey, there's really a mission to kill the skeleton marshal! Are we going to pick it up? At this time, the thief also looked at the fifth task board, and soon found that there was a task to kill the skeleton marshal here, and it seemed that it was still the only one.
The required rank level of the fifth task board is not low, and the average low-level player can only watch and not move, and the more you go to the later tasks, the greater the uniqueness, and the higher the requirements for the player.
It's just that there aren't many players who are qualified to pick up the quests on these questboards, so this one quest is kept.
Each player can only take on one unique mission, and basically all the unique missions are at the team level, and only players at the captain level can follow them.
"No, we don't know if the marshal has refreshed it, or wait two more days. There are no other good tasks ahead! Mina asked, and the thief in charge of the task boards behind him also said.
For the thief, although the tasks on these task boards are all visible and immovable, he still remembers these tasks, and always looks at them every time to see if these tasks are refreshed and if there are any unexpected tasks.
"No, these tasks were all a few days ago, and it seems that no one dares to take them." Most battlefield missions are time-limited, and if you don't complete the mission, you will lose your military merits.
However, at this time, an NPC man wearing a herald's uniform suddenly came to a short distance from them with a few pieces of brown paper, and then began to paste them on the task board.
"Hey, that one over there seems to be a special task board, I'll take a look." The thief also took advantage of the firelight on the side to see that one NPC was working on the tenth task board, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The quests on this tenth quest board have been around for some years, and although there is no rank requirement for the quests on this quest board, this has caused the quest to change. The degree of state is incomprehensible.
For example, the most perverted quest on this quest board is to kill the Lich King. This is the quest with the highest reward of all the quests, but no player dares to take it, because this is undoubtedly a mission that makes people die, and there is still a penalty for failing this quest.
The other quests on this special quest board are pretty much the same as this one, so this one is the least popular, and basically no one is bored to spend time watching it except for boring people like Thief and Youdao.
However, this thief also has a way of not looking at it or being nervous, and when he saw it, he directly ripped off the kraft paper that had just been glued, and his mouth was still chattering nonsense.
"What a task." Mina didn't receive a quest prompt, and she didn't know if it was a solo quest or something else.
"The one who was looking for me was directly summoned by someone with the yellow list, but fortunately I was here, otherwise I wouldn't have been taken advantage of." The thief also threw the brown paper to Mina, and Mina couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the content of this task.
"What bad things did you do, you actually let people give you a 'general record'." Mina has watched this very simple task a few times before and after, and is a little interested.
"It should be related to the drawings I handed in before, let's go, it's cheaper for you." After the thief finished speaking, he should first walk towards the teleportation array.
And after Mina glanced at the brown paper, after choosing to be sure, there was an additional search task on his task panel, "There is a way to find a thief".
This task is actually very simple, just inform the thief to report to Marshal Laiken, the commander-in-chief of the battlefield defense line, as for what tasks are there after reporting, it is confidential.
This task has never been heard of by Mina, but the reward for this task is also pitifully low, and it only has 1 point of military merit, 1 silver coin, and even a few points of experience are not given.
Marshal Lyken's command camp is at the rear of the defense line, because the total length of this defense line is very long, in order to make this defense line fully operational, so the Human Empire deliberately divided it into three areas, which are managed by two generals and the imperial marshal at the same time.
Although the two generals had the authority to administer their respective areas, they had to obey whenever the marshal spoke, allowing the line to operate under one voice.
Arriving at the city of Tifat, which was located in the middle of the fortress defense line, Mina and his party quickly found the command camp in this main city, which had been completely militarized.
Following the herald to Marshal Laiken's residence, Mina realized that this marshal turned out to be a mage, a mage with the iron bones of a soldier.
"Hehe, it turned out to be you." Seeing Mina who came in with the thief, Laiken was a little surprised.
However, Minai was even more surprised, he didn't know this famous imperial marshal.
However, when Mina noticed that he had been looking at the elemental wand in his hand, he suddenly figured it out.
"The marshal is also a teacher's ......," Mina asked.
"Not all, my qualifications are limited, and I didn't become his disciple, but I still learned a lot of magic from him, and he is the person I respect the most in my life." Lyken said earnestly.
"......" Minai didn't say much, anyway, although the old mage was very mysterious in front of him, his behavior made him feel helpless, so he didn't agree with it, and he didn't object.
And seeing that Minai only smiled and didn't answer, Marshal Laiken, who thought that Minai had the same feelings as him, didn't think much about it, but just took a few serious glances at the introductory disciple of the person he respected the most.
"Okay, I won't waste your time, it's like this, I have a task that requires you to be secretly responsible, you can find a few trustworthy people to cooperate with you." Marshal Lyken looked at the thief and said something, but he didn't hide it from Mina and the female elf behind him.
"What kind of task is that, as long as I can, I will do my best to complete it." In front of these high-level NPCs, thieves are very good at behaving, and they can't see what they usually look like in ordinary times.
"Actually, it's also related to the design you handed in earlier. However, this needs to be done secretly by you and your companions, and no one else can know the secret. Marshal Lyken was naturally very relieved when he heard the words of the thief.
And the thief also quickly took over the assignment from Marshal Lyken.
"The space reinforcement column has already been in the mass production stage so soon." The thief is the designated person in charge of this mission, and he has the most right to speak.
"Yes, this design drawing is very detailed and complete, as long as the materials and craftsmen can keep up, with the ability of our front-line military department, we can make 10 a day, but because the materials of this thing are very rare, so in order not to let people peep, I only plan to let you be responsible for the task of placing this space reinforcement column."
Knowing the main role of this space enhancement pillar, Shuinai and the thief also have a way, naturally knowing that if this thing is used properly, it has a great effect, but once its coordinates are known, and then people destroy it, it will be completely meaningless.
"I see, then we're going to go there and get these things." The thief also said as he shared the task with Mina and Xiaoyue.
"I will ask my lieutenant to take you to the workshop, but you must remember that this task cannot be known to outsiders, it is related to the foundation of whether our human empire can hold on, and it cannot be shaken."
"Understood!" Mina and the thief also responded immediately, but Xiaoyue didn't have this kind of leisure, just stood there quietly.
"Lao Fan, 100,000 points of experience, as well as 1,000 military merits and gold coin rewards. Experience alone has 1 million a day, if the three of us eat it, how cool it is! "The thief has already turned over the hints of this task several times.
"Don't be too happy, I'm afraid this task is not simple, if I guess correctly, the location of these reinforcement pillars is probably on the front line, then the danger of this task is much greater."
"Hey, that's right, the function of the space enhancement pillar is to invalidate all spatial teleportation magic, which means that it can't exist in the empire, otherwise it will be equivalent to cutting off its own teleportation." The thief, who had been woken up by Mina, also had a way, and quickly figured this out.
