A buoy floating on the surface of the river is suddenly pulled to the bottom.

"Huh? Fish hooked again? Lin Ling skillfully pulled up the fishing rod, picked off the slippery mackerel that had bitten the hook and threw it back into the river. He just wanted to talk to Li Linda, who was accompanying him to fish, when a red light suddenly gushed out of his eyes, and he twisted around the slippery mackerel in the river, devouring the flesh and blood of the slippery mackerel and looking back into his eyes.

Fish: 200/200.

Before he knew it, he had caught a full 200 fish!

"Zero?"

Li Linda looked at Lin Ling with some concern, and a faint red light flashed in his eyes from time to time, "What's wrong with your eyes?" ”

"Equip the effect." Lin Ling put the fishing rod into his backpack and rubbed his sore shoulders, fishing is a very physical task that tests endurance, and if you swing 200 times in a row, anyone will feel tired. He took the monocle from his backpack, the torchlight resting on the bridge of his nose, obscuring the red light coming out of his eyeholes, "That's a lot better, isn't it?" ”

"It seems to be ......"

The effect of the torchlight suppressed the strange red light, but Lin Ling, who was wearing monocles, always made Li Linda feel a little strange.

"Let's go, go back to the Rhine."

With the blood of the ancient gods unsealed, Lin Ling had no reason to continue to spend it on the monotonous fishing port dock. He rejects the love-hate offer to represent the others, telling them that he is going to the Rhine sewers.

"Zero, the Rhine sewers are not a fun place. If you insist on going, look for the caretaker of the pumping station, who sells detailed maps of the waterways and lighting fixtures, and today's secret word is scrambled eggs with pepper. "The love-hate entanglement offers a message that only thieves know," there are several entrances to the Rhine Pumping Station, and the easiest one to find is at the end of the back alley of the Baguette House, next to the Magic Guild. ”

"If you want to flash the Thunder Wilderness, I suggest that each of you buy a 10 silver lightning antenna and plug it into the head armor to avoid lightning strikes."

In addition to having an appointment with Li Linda, another reason why Lin Ling didn't want to go to the Lightning Wilderness was the unpredictable thunderstorm climate over there.

The lightning in the Lightning Wilds is no ordinary weather effect, and the lightning over there will cause a natural lightning strike to random targets within range. Each natural lightning strike deals 200 lightning damage, which can only be avoided by wearing a lightning antenna sold by an NPC profiteer.

The lightning antenna must be inserted into the head to take effect, Lin Ling didn't want to make that stupidity, inserted a lightning antenna on his head, and thought he was walking in the thunderstorm very "tide".

"Zero, there's something I have to make clear to you."

On the way back to Rhine City, Li Linda suddenly said to Lin Ling seriously: "I will not leave the hammer of doom." ”

"I didn't ask you to leave the Hammer of Doom, but I just joined a loosely binding warband, don't you even want to be named in the warband?" Lin Ling blinked innocently. He knew very well that Li Linda had a deep attachment to the collective of the Hammer of Doom, so he didn't say that he wanted her to leave the Hammer of Doom at the beginning, as long as she was willing to participate in some wargroup activities from time to time.

Large guilds with club backing, such as the Hammer of Doom, tend to tilt resources towards loyal guild administrators.

Instead of going to great lengths to arrange a path for Li Linda, it is better to let her receive the salary of the hammer of doom and work for herself.

"I can't participate in the warband's activities as often as I can." Li Linda said again.

"I guess you haven't figured out the nature of the warband yet, have you?"

Lin Ling smiled and shrugged her shoulders, Li Linda's verbal words that this is not good, that is not good did not cause him to be unhappy, she will have so many conditions, obviously there are some intentions.

"Warband is a loose mercenary team, and we will only gather and operate when we have a clear mission, a clear target or a clear goal, and we will not interfere in your life in normal times."

"Won't it affect my daily work?" Li Linda asked emphatically, after all, the war group is a new thing, and it is normal for her to have a lot of things that she does not understand. In her opinion, joining a warband is the same as joining a guild, you need to check in every day, chat with acquaintances in the channel, or team up to do a few tasks to prove that you are still a member of the guild before you have personal time.

"No, the warband is just a fixed combat team, those who need it join, and those who don't need it retreat to do other things, just like your guild's leveling team and task team, will there be people coming in and out from time to time and every moment? There will be a lot of warbands in your guild in the future, and the guild groups with a rigid system can't meet the needs of most members after all. ”

Lin Ling tried his best to alleviate Li Linda's concerns, in his previous life, it was common for warbands to be composed of members of different guilds. Admittedly, the existence of warbands weakens the authority of the guild to a certain extent, making the guild dispensable, but at the same time, it also greatly increases the unity of professional players who receive club salaries, which can be regarded as both advantages and disadvantages.

"Really?" Li Linda did not blindly believe Lin Ling's statement, nor did she question it.

"Believe me, warbands have nothing to do with guilds and clubs." Lin Ling didn't expect to reach the sky in one step. He and Linda got off at the post station in the west side of the Rhine, passed by the Magic Guild, and found the entrance to the pumping station in the back alley of the baguette.

In front of the pumping station hangs a dimly lit mission board with a few yellowed pages hanging from it.

"You go pick a few tasks, and I'll ask the NPCs about the situation."

Lin Ling motioned to Li Linda to pick up the tasks on the task release board, most of those tasks were level 12 and level 3 tasks, which were no longer suitable for level 15 Lin Ling. However, Li Linda is only level 12, and doing these tasks is just enough to get the most benefits.

"It's another sweltering day." The caretaker of the pumping station repeats the same words to the players who come and go.

"Scrambled eggs with pepper."

Lin Ling reported the secret words that the love-hate entanglement told him, and the guard's expression suddenly became alert.

"When will the Thieves' Guild start recruiting mages?" After glancing at Lin Ling, the caretaker still opened the cargo bar to him, "Actually, you shouldn't need these things." ”

"It's hard to tell."

Lin Ling bought a few lighting appliances and a complete sewer map to add to his atlas. He asked the guard, "Do you know what rumors have been circulating in the sewers lately?" ”

"Rumors? The magic books and prophecy crystal balls that were lost by the Magic Guild are still no one to find, there are rumors that the mage who tracked down was killed by demons who lived underground, Pipeline 37 was blocked by food debris for 124 days in a row, and those wreckage were said to come from a gold-encrusted manor with the bones of chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, and it was rumored that Councilor Rigdenray had an ogre at home, what else would you want to know? The caretaker said a few rumors that were crucial to Lin Ling in one breath.

"Could you please help me mark the location of the rumored mage's murder, the location of Pipeline 37, and the location of the Gilded Manor." Lin Ling opened his atlas and spread it out in front of the guard.

"No problem."

The caretaker marked three marks in the atlas and marked a line with a dotted line that was not on the map: "This route is inhabited by ghosts of unjust death, you better not go there, of course, if you are brave enough to take the risk, you can stop after hearing the song of Jasmine, open the water valve closest to the song, and you will find the line." But I advise you not to anger the Ghost, who is the true ruler of the Rhine underworld. ”

"Ghosts?"

Lin Ling didn't expect that there would be such a strange urban tale in the sewers of Rhine City, he smiled, and did not take the caretaker's warning to heart.

Phantom?

He is not even afraid of the living undead, but will he be afraid of ghosts?

"Zero, I've got the job done." Li Linda finished selecting the tasks on the task release board.

"Is there enough XP to reach level 15?" Lin Ling checked the tasks selected by Li Linda through the captain's authority, hunting kobolds, investigating the abnormal noise of sewers, finding objects, and an anti-smuggling mission, which was obviously not enough for her to rise to level 15. He looked at the remaining quests on the quest board, and found that there were still three missions marked as elite-level by the Magic Guild's Notice, Ghost Investigation, and Underground Demons, which had not been taken.

"You take those three tasks, and I'll take you from the sewers to the Gilded Manor."

Lin Ling said to Li Linda that he wanted to raise Li Linda's level to level 15 in the shortest possible time and enter the first echelon, so that he could stand out from the audition.

On the League of Legends side's level list, the one still starts with "??? "The anonymous person who replaced his ID is still far ahead of the others with 80% experience at level 19, and the remaining second to fifth places are all elites piled up with money by major clubs, with an average level of about 17, they are masters of window dressing, and they will not waste time participating in offline challenges.

Originally, the sixth place was exclusive sweetness, but unfortunately that guy died too many times in Bane's dungeon and was replaced by drunken drunkenness, and his total experience value was as high as 97% of level 16, which was about 30% experience ahead of the seventh place.

Most of these people have been lucky since level 1 and have a lot of money. Not to mention ordinary players, even a great guild leader like Yama Shark is no match for them.

"Gilded manor? Are you going to a trial of courage? As soon as Lin Ling mentioned the gold-inlaid manor, Li Linda knew what the hell he was doing.

Level 15 single dungeon, trial of courage, these days successfully replaced the mage treasure room to become the hottest topic dungeon.

"It's not just me, you're going to have to test it with courage. You also know that entering the Gilded Manor can be a trick and require a series of pre-quests, so I'm going to take you through the sewers, which is certainly not very safe, but you are here to hone your skills. By the way, what about your subordinates? Why didn't I see your servant, didn't you summon it? ”

Lin Ling didn't see her servant at Li Linda's side, what was the difference between an overseer without a servant and a tiger without teeth?

"Do you usually have to take your servants with you?" Li Linda thought that Hu Servant, like attack skills, was a skill that was only necessary in battle.

"Don't you think you should be more familiar with how to manipulate subordinates? Do you know how to make a detour with a servant? Lin Ling felt that it was necessary to start correcting Li Linda's habits and consciousness from the most basic game attitude.

"Of course." Li Linda glanced at Lin Ling, that was the most basic way to manipulate Hu Cong.

"What about combos, outflanks, raids, divisions, and ambushes?"

Lin Ling named several of the most commonly used tactics in one breath, and almost all of the Overseers' skills were based on the six tactics of detour, combo, outflanking, raiding, splitting, and ambushing.

Many of the Overseers' skills may seem mundane, but when combined with the right tactics, they can often lead to surprising results.

Li Linda was silent, she would only use the most basic detours and combo attacks in the tactics reported by Lin Ling, and the rest had only heard from the NPC professional mentor, but she had never seen anyone use it. She instinctively thought that Lin Ling, who had reported these tactics, must have seen other Overseers use them, otherwise how could he know about these things that had nothing to do with mages?

I just don't know if the guy who showed him was a man or a woman?

"No, why should I care about that? I'm not one of them. Li Linda shook her head self-deprecatingly, she glanced at Lin Ling's back and sighed slightly.

Seven years apart......
