Chapter 158: A New Visitor
More than an hour later, before the sky completely darkened, Levi finally rushed back to Oak Village, and after entering the village, he waved his hand and directly gave his subordinates a holiday: "You all go to the tavern to rest, Huames, you take Sienna and them, and I will go to find the Holy Maiden." ”
After the efforts just now, he finally completed the advanced task of the Ranger Knight, but he found that the task did not seem to be completely finished, and even asked him to go back to the village to find a high-level knight aboriginal to carry out the advanced ceremony of the Ranger Knight, which was difficult for him, so he could only come back to the Holy Maiden to ask the truth.
"Oh, okay, leave it to me, Levi!"
Hua Meisi patted his small chest and reassured.
In fact, since following Levi, she has rarely returned to the temple for the night, but has lived in the tavern, only when she thinks about the saint and Mina.
Moreover, Levi also gave her and the Moorish knight Tanatoe a certain amount of money in case of emergency, and the owner of the Oak Village Tavern was also very familiar with the only Chosen Hero in the village, so Levi was not worried about any unexpected situations.
But when Levi reached the door of the temple, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, because he suddenly saw that there were several squads of motley troops, thugs, robbers, hunters, halberders, swordsmen, archers, thieves...
It looks like another player's minions, as only players form such a mixed squad, and the natives usually act with a whole team of the same class!
But before Levi could take a closer look, several men in the temple who were clearly players had already walked out talking and laughing.
"Big brother, we really didn't waste so much effort in vain, and we came all the way to this oak village!"
"That's right, the legendary quest is so domineering just by listening to the name, and the mission reward is even more bull X!"
Walking in the middle was a man who looked to be in his thirties with a mustache, he smiled and waved his hand: "Don't say that, it's still too early, after all, that task is definitely very difficult just by looking at the introduction... ”
As he was talking, he suddenly noticed that there was an extra guy in black armor and a blue cloak on his back in front of him, he suddenly stopped, and then asked with some uncertainty: "This friend, I am the chosen hero from Terra Village, I don't know you... ”
Because of the game's setting, players sometimes have a hard time distinguishing between high-level natives and the Chosen Heroes, so he is a little unsure of Levi's identity.
Levi nodded slightly, and said in a deliberately low voice, "Is the Chosen Hero of Terra Village?" Don't cause trouble here. ”
After speaking, he didn't care about the other party's expression, but walked straight to the temple, and the swordsman guarding the door hurriedly opened the door for him: "My lord, the holy woman is waiting for you." ”
Looking at Levi who walked in, several players couldn't help but look at each other, and the last male player couldn't help but speak: "Big brother, this guy seems to be a high-level NPC in this village." ”
Although in the game's setting, he should call non-player characters aborigines, but after playing a lot, he still habitually calls NPCs, and these NPCs don't understand the meaning of the word anyway, and they don't blame themselves for it.
The mustache also thought thoughtfully: "That's right, when we came here before, we were intercepted by the guards at the door, but he walked in directly, and even the guards here took the initiative to open the door for him, calling him an adult, it seems that he should have a good status in this oak village, maybe we should wait for him to see if we can get any tasks from him or something... ”
But after thinking about it, the mustache finally gave up: "No, let's go to the tavern and the barracks first, the NPC saintess said that as long as we contribute to the village, we can open up a certain amount of recruitment permissions, we have to go and see what is there first." ”
"Yes, yes, the boss is right, I think this village is very rich, and they are all second-order soldiers."
"If we can also recruit second-order soldiers casually, it will be much cooler, and it will be in vain for the suffering we have suffered on the road."
Speaking of this, several people sighed in unison, looking very emotional, their Terra Village is not close to Oak Village at all, because neither village belongs to a dukedom, if it weren't for the novice village when they accidentally got a worn-out parchment roll when they fought the boss, and then received a high-end looking task, they wouldn't have run so far so hard.
But now it seems that their hard work has not been in vain, although this task seems to be difficult, but the reward may be the whole village!
Several players chatted as they slowly walked towards the barracks with their troops, while Levi met with Hilda, who seemed to be a little confused.
"Holy Maiden, how many Chosen Heroes did you just have?"
"That's right, Levi, I was about to go to you too, the descendants of the Landuin family have reappeared, they have just obtained the inheritance that is almost exactly the same as the one you brought with you, and it is all true."
In fact, when he heard the conversation of those players just now, Levi already had a guess, but when Hilda Saintess said it herself, he was still a little pressured, which means that the competitor has arrived, but it is only a little bit of pressure, because the opponent's strength is obviously much worse than his own, no matter what, his own chance is greater, and he will not stay where he is, he will always leave the other party behind.
"So they got the same task as me?"
Levi further confirmed that if everyone's task is the same, then he has no need to worry at all, that task is far from being accessible to current players, and it doesn't matter how many people receive it, everyone can't complete it anyway.
"That's right, I will treat all those who come with the legacy items in their hands the same, and they all deserve this opportunity, because Oak Village is the inheritance of the Landuin family, not mine or anyone else's, and it should be returned to Landuin's hands."
Holy Maiden Hilda said without hesitation, it seems that she has already thought about this question very clearly.
Speaking of this, Hilda's expression became a little tangled: "But just now, the chosen hero with the token in hand, he actually said that his name is Braveheart, and I confirmed it again, he said that it was indeed his real name. Levi, are you all so random in naming your chosen heroes? ”
Leviston chuckled, and he shook his head busily: "Holy Maiden, I don't know what kind of names other Chosen Heroes will have, after all, names are just code names, and everyone has their own habits. ”
This is not the first time he has heard something like this, and on the forums, there are already a lot of players who have complained about this problem with their own blood and tears.
In previous games, players were very random in their names, but in this game, if your name doesn't sound normal, then you will definitely find special attention from high-level aborigines, and even arouse the disgust and hatred of the other party, especially in human countries with various repeated rituals and classes, such as empires, knight kingdoms, and the ice and snow country of Kislev, this problem is even more serious.
In contrast, the southern mercenary city-states are much better, even the aborigines over there are used to saying code names, and the greenskins of the chaotic camp are even more indifferent, because they don't have any talent for naming themselves, what rotten teeth, stinky feet, big ears, etc., but the most common names of the greenskins, so when they hear names such as Braveheart, the greenskinned natives not only don't feel strange, but they will feel that this guy is so smart that he can come up with such a good name!
Hilda's holy daughter reluctantly accepted Levi's explanation, after all, the other party is a chosen hero, and it is natural to be different from ordinary people.
"But Holy Maiden, I'm not here for this, I want to tell you that my Ranger Knight Advanced Mission has been completed."
"Oh? Looks like Levi's you're working hard. "It just so happens that tomorrow Bastogne's reinforcements will arrive, and there happen to be several high-ranking knights among them, and I will ask them to personally perform the promotion ceremony for you." ”
Before Levi could speak, Hilda's Holy Maiden had already spoken first, and it seemed that she was also very familiar with the promotion ceremony of the Ranger Knight, which was probably some tradition in the Knight Kingdom.
"Then thank you, Holy Maiden, I wonder what happened to the hunter I brought back from Oxhorn Village?"
Levi had been busy since bringing him back to Oak Village, so he didn't have much time to pay attention to the guy, so now was the time to talk about it.
"Well, he recovered quite well, but because the production process of that potion was too inferior, and it was mixed with many impurities, Hua Meisi's previous spell only temporarily suppressed the situation, and he has not been completely cured yet, although under the suppression of my spell, he did not maintain the power of transformation, but I am not sure how long this will last."
Speaking of which, the Holy Maiden of Hilda also seemed to have a bit of a headache, because if the other party's craftsmanship was authentic, she would definitely be able to dispose of it easily, but the person who refined that potion didn't know where she learned it, and she added a lot of filthy magic materials, and the workmanship was very rough, which made it a little difficult for her.
Because this hunter Dahl is a little too weak in his normal state, she doesn't dare to purify it directly with magic, otherwise she may directly purify the other party's entire person.
For this, she didn't hide it from Levi, but quickly said it all, anyway, she didn't owe Levi anything in this matter, and she didn't have anything to be embarrassed about.
"Well, Lord Saint, perhaps, you don't need to purify him completely, if he can control himself, this is also a usable power."
Levi found that Hilda's thoughts seemed to be slightly in conflict with his own, and the other party actually wanted to completely purify Dahl, but then the other party would become an ordinary hunter, so what is the use of a second-order class for the current Levi and for Oak Village? Is it okay to have a bunch of Tier 2 hunters in the village?
"Is that so?" Hilda thought for a moment, "Seeing that his mind is very sober, it is completely different from ordinary infected beasts, maybe this will also be the same path, but how it is depends on his own choice." And,"
Hilda's voice changed, "His current strength is still too weak, if he can reach the 3rd order, those filthy blood will be controlled, if he can reach the 4th order, I can directly use Elsa to work together to purify the filth in his body without harming him in the slightest." ”
"I see, I know, then thank you to the Holy Maiden."
It seems that the things in the body of the mutant hunter Dahl are very difficult to get, and even the Holy Maiden of Hilda is a little powerless...
Noticing Levi's intently thinking look, the Holy Maiden of Hilda was a little puzzled: "Levi, I'm a little curious, why do you care so much about his situation?" A hunter from the faraway village of Oxhorn? You've only met once, haven't you? ”
Levi smiled, "Lady Saint, do you remember what you said before, when I find a suitable replacement for Oak Village, you will... ”
Holy Goddess Hilda moved: "You want him to replace you?" Do you want to get out of Oak Village? ”
"Well, I do have that idea because I want to see what the outside world is like."
Levi didn't hide it too much, because by now, apart from the aid that was coming, he didn't think there was much to be nostalgic for in Oak Village.
Even if it is what Hilda's Holy Maiden has just announced in exchange for killing the fishmen, it is not attractive to Levi now, because in addition to some equipment and medicines, the most important thing is that it can recruit second-order troops, but this permission has long been opened to him.
And now he wants to see the wider world, because after yesterday's communication with the Avengers, his knowledge has increased a lot, and he shouldn't stay here forever.
However, Levi did not say it casually, because according to all the information he had obtained before, the Holy Maiden of Hilda should not be dissatisfied with what he said.
As he expected, after listening to his words, Hilda Holy Maiden nodded slowly: "Indeed, since Levi has reached the advanced requirements of the Ranger Knight, then you should also travel to the whole world, this is the tradition of all Ranger Knight in the Knight Kingdom." ”
"Then thank you, Lady Saint."
Yes, Levi had expected this, because among the natives of Bretonnia, hot-blooded young men who became Ranger Knights usually traveled alone or in groups, and in the process, they would challenge as many monsters as possible and inquire into various secrets in order to increase their knowledge.
If they didn't die in the process, but honed their martial arts, faded their innocence, and returned from the battlefield with blood, they would have been able to be promoted to a higher level of knights of the kingdom, so no matter what way the saint looked at it, it would be impossible for the saint to refuse Levi's request...
"No need to do this, Levi, this is your freedom, and you can take him away, there is no shortage of him in Oak Village as a Tier 2 hunter, but I also have a task for you, and I need you to work a little harder tomorrow, you know, Bastogne's reinforcements are coming."
"Oh, is that so?" Leviston showed an interested look, he had heard the other party say several times, reinforcements, that must be where the Holy Maiden of Hilda has the confidence to take the initiative to declare war on those fishmen.
After listening to Hilda's instructions, Levi found that there was a new task on his task bar, called the messenger, and the task reward was not much, only some experience points and prestige points, but Levi knew that this was just a reward for manifestation, and the real big head would depend on his performance tomorrow.
"Okay, Holy Hilda, I've got that in mind, look forward to my performance."
"Well," Hilda nodded slightly, "so be it, Levi, you can rest early and get ready for tomorrow." ”
"Yes, I'll go." Levi bowed slightly, and then prepared to leave.
But suddenly, the crisp sound of the bell reached the ears of Levi and Hilda, one, two, three...
That's the bell used by Oak Village to sound the alarm!
