Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Hidden Mission Triggered Again
The "thank you gift" given by the garrison officer Kak was quite generous.
Drunken and drunken obtained a silver-quality heavy sword engraved with the mark of the Dawn Bell Tower, the Morning Blade, +3 Strength, +3 Constitution, 2.2 Attack Speed, and 62-101 weapon damage when equipped with one hand.
The epee is a heterogeneous weapon that can be used with one or two hands, also known as a half-handed sword, and its own damage is the highest among one-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons deal 150% damage and have one of the fastest attack speeds of any two-handed weapon, on par with some two-handed staffs.
In addition, when any Tier 1 Knight class equips the epee, it will receive additional power additions.
Chenfeng is also the sword used by Garrison Officer Kak.
The Overwatch Zen Master obtains a bronze Ring of Faith that Sharil used to disguise herself as a priest, +3 Strength, +3 Constitution, and +3 Will.
Alone against the Digger's Strawberry Nose, he has obtained a silver-quality two-handed axe called the Predator, with +5 strength and a maximum of 120 weapon damage, and a measly 72 lower limit.
The love-hate entanglement controlled by the charm has obtained a silver-quality necklace with +3 strength, +3 agility, and a 50% increase in resistance to charm magic, which can be regarded as making up for one of his shortcomings.
"This is the reward you deserve, Arcane Mage."
Garrison Officer Kak took off one of the rings he was wearing, and gave it to Lin Ling as a thank you gift.
It was a ring of gold quality.
Rings: Jazz Seal;
Location: Fingers;
Quality: Gold;
Attributes: +8 Constitution, +8 Will, +8 Intelligence;
After use, summon an ally of the Sikkim Knight who is not under your control and attack all enemy targets within radius;
Sikkim Knights exist for 45 seconds;
The interval between summons is 2 hours;
The highest rank of a knight in Sikkim is 20;
Gear Level Required: 12.
Notes: A family heirloom with a long history and a mirror image of the original owner.
"Valuable gifts." Lin Ling accepted the "thank you gift" given by the garrison officer Kak. He slipped the ring casually over his finger and glanced at the special effects description that came with the Jazz Mark.
The strength of the Sikkim knight will fluctuate according to Lin Ling's level, and the maximum will not exceed level 20.
Knight of Sikkim is an NPC-specific class that has some of the skills of the Overseer's Triple Rank Advanced Class Sword Commander. In this way, it is understandable that Kark, as a garrison, has the skills that only a High Overseer can have.
However, he knew very well that a mere succubus was not worthy of such a heavy gift from the garrison officer Kark.
"I'll leave the matter of dealing with the ancient gods to you." Garrison Officer Kak said solemnly to everyone.
System Hint: You and your teammates trigger the mandatory hidden quest "Shadows of the Earth".
Mandatory Hidden Quests: Shadows of the Earth;
Uniqueness;
Description: Garrison Officer Kak asks you to do everything in your power to prevent the Blood Sacrifice from happening and to bury the ancient god Xsur beneath the abyss forever.
Reward: 5000 XP; 50 credits; Relics of the Titans.
Lin Ling bowed slightly, and led everyone out of the garrison Kak's residence.
"Zero, what are you going to do?" Strawberry Nose asked Lin Ling in the team channel. The mission goal of the "Shadow of the Earth" mission is obvious, that is, to destroy the ongoing blood sacrifice mission of the Bright Peak and prevent the revival of the ancient god Xsur.
The consequences are likely to offend an entire guild.
"Afraid of what?"
Lin Ling knew very well what Strawberry Nose meant, but he knew better that the current Bright Peak was not the Bright Peak he was familiar with, the Bright Peak at this time had not yet developed, they were like milk tigers, and they were still roaring at their own threats.
"In the top 500 of the ranking list, the bright peak only occupies 17 positions."
Lin Ling used facts to dispel the confusion of his teammates, and he said lightly: "No one is ranked higher than us. What does this mean? The Bright Peak is still in its toddler stage, and there is nothing worth mentioning in terms of combat effectiveness. As long as we strangle them in swaddling clothes, they will not pose a threat to us...... Anything that has a substantial threat! ”
"Strangled in swaddling?" Love-Hate laughed and said, "I like that." ”
"Zero, how are you going to carry out this mission?"
Compared with how to deal with the aftermath of the Bright Peak, the Zen Master of Shouwang was more concerned about how Lin Ling would deal with this task.
"Shadow of the Earth" is not a task like the "Hero's End" that he and Lin Ling and Drunken Wujiu have experienced, they have to face not only the ancient god Ksur and his accomplices, but also a group of players at the peak of the Bright Peak.
Players are much more difficult to deal with than NPCs.
"You've all got the Ring of Kark, right?" Lin Ling took out the Kark Ring identified as a mission item, and after getting everyone's response, he said his thoughts, "My idea is actually very simple, the Blood Sacrifice mission needs to set up logo totems in seven target locations to awaken the ancient gods, and there is only one thing we have to do, wait until they summon the ancient gods, and kill them all." ”
"Kill the light? Exchange the Ring of Kark for NPC Soldiers? In this way, we will not be less than them in numbers, and it is not enough to see how many people come below level 10. ”
Drunk Wujiu understood what Lin Ling meant, although the bright peak was a little different from the empty shell in his impression, he knew very well that there were some people under Uncle Ben's hands.
"That's right, one Kark Ring can recruit a whole team of garrison guards from Attorney Shari, and we have five Kak Rings." Lin Ling smiled quite confidently, he wouldn't bother to pull out the logo totems one by one according to the task prompts, the terrain of the Volga pit was not ordinarily harsh, if they really did that, they would probably be ambushed by people at the peak of the Bright Peak.
"The last location of the identification totem is in the Dungeon of Bane."
Lin Ling took out the map, pointed his finger in the direction of Banne's dungeon, and tapped twice vigorously: "We just need to occupy the location of the identification totem before they arrive......"
"You can also complete tasks along the way." Strawberry Nose said something that Lin Ling didn't say explicitly, and they looked at each other and smiled.
This is the tacit understanding.
"Bane Dungeon, how are we going to infiltrate?" The love-hate entanglement raised objections, he is not afraid of one person, two people can do it, but five people ......
"Enter through Tunnel 18 at the back of the abandoned mine camp."
Lin Ling showed the key he had gotten from the Blood Raven, he glanced at the shadows behind him, and chuckled softly, "Without the key, even if the bayonet follows us step by step, he won't be able to get in." ”
"Bayonets?"
Hearing the love-hate entanglement of this name, he subconsciously reached out and pressed the hilt of the Dogtooth Sword.
The bayonets, which had been in a stealthy state, crouched to guard them, and quietly took a few steps back. Of the three levels of thieves, the Lurker, the Loiter, and the Assassin, the Loiterer is the weakest in combat, but the other two types of Rogue are the Wanderer who have enhanced their frontal combat and anti-stealth abilities.
A full-fledged loitering will always have a number of ways to refrain from stealth and defend against assassination.
"They're moving towards the station."
Every few minutes, the bayonet would report Lin Ling's situation to Ah Fu, the real speaker of the Bright Peak, through the private chat channel: "It seems that they are going to take a carriage." ”
"Riding in a carriage? They're done with the task here? Also, they are all level 12, and they should have completed all the tasks of the garrison camp and changed places to level up. Ah Fu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, all this time, that Zero was like their nemesis, constantly opposing the council, disturbing their peace.
Although Ah Fu does not agree with the idea of the Dark Council.
In his opinion, there is no doubt about the so-called philosophy and bandit logic of the Dark Council. The reason why he wholeheartedly worked hard for the council and served Uncle Ben was nothing more than owing the life of the boss behind the scenes.
It's just that Ah Fu, who has been in this industry for more than ten years, is different from the young bayonet, and he does not think that favors are priceless.
Cast it with a peach, and repay it with a plum.
This is Ah Fu's code of conduct.
Over the years, his contributions to the Council of Darkness and the Shining Peak are well known both inside and outside the industry. Although he also made a lot of money from it, he didn't touch any of the money.
Ah Fu's living expenses over the years have been maintained by the manuscript fees he earns from writing strategies and writing processes for major game websites. It is not an exaggeration to describe his life with superficial scenery.
However, such days are coming to an end.
There is still a gap of 700,000 yuan, and Ah Fu will be able to pay off the medical expenses paid for him by the Dark Council back then and restore his freedom. He's even ready to step away from the pinnacle of brilliance.
But before he can leave, Ah Fu must find someone to replace him and continue to serve Uncle Ben, the Bright Peak, and the Dark Council.
Bayonet was one of the candidates that Ah Fu was looking for to continue serving Uncle Ben in his place, and the other was the Swede Aarhus, the cousin of the benefactor. He put a lot of effort into the two of them, inserting them into the device test before Eternity was released, and in the name of testing the equipment for Eternity, he got in touch with Eternity in advance, familiarized himself with the game, and searched for various hidden missions.
But now it seems that neither of them is as good as the mage named Zero.
That mage was stronger than any pro player Afu had ever seen.
He didn't approve of a hostile approach to the mage, who should be vigorously co-opted.
As for the contradictions between them......
Ah Fu does not think that there are any irreconcilable contradictions in the world, and the contradictions cannot be reconciled because the price offered is not high enough. He had been thinking about whether he should make contact with Zero and clarify his position with the Dark Council, so that the mage could understand that they were doing a legitimate job.
Do you want to write a letter?
Fu stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
In a small two-story building that Bright Peak used as a guild warehouse, a fire suddenly burst into flames.
"Uncle Afu, I heard that Zero is bad again?" Uncle Ben returned here through Hearthstone, he handed over a few pieces of newly beaten bronze equipment to the priests of the same team and stored them in the warehouse of the Bright Peak, while he walked to Ah Fu's side, propped up the table and asked, "Is the loss big?" Is there any impact on the mission? ”
"The mission is going on as usual, young master." Ah Fu answered Uncle Ben's question, and he was still thinking about how to contact Lin Ling.
"Humph! That zero, sooner or later I'm going to throw him into the Atlantic Ocean to feed the sharks! Uncle Ben slammed the table hard, "I've decided, go to Banne's dungeon, watch the blood sacrifice in person, wait for that zero by the way, and throw yourself into the net." He thought he would escape my eyes by withdrawing the hammer of doom? Ridiculous, ridiculous! ”
"Young Master, that Zero has already left the garrison camp." Ah Fu thought that Uncle Ben's news was outdated, so he kindly told him Lin Ling's latest movements, "The bayonet saw them enter the post station and left in a carriage. ”
"Leave? So how did I get the word that Strawberrynose is inside the Bane Dungeon? From the Berserker League......"
Uncle Ben glanced at Ah Fu with dissatisfaction, and said, "Uncle Ah Fu, it's not that I said you, you just are too indulgent with bayonets, how can you trust that kind of wild dog picked up from the road?" ”
"This life of mine was also picked up from the road by the kindness of my wife." Ah Fu replied with a stiff face. Indignantly, he took off his gaming helmet and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall with a dull expression.
How could he regard an arrogant and rude fool like Uncle Ben as his master, and served diligently for nearly ten years.
Fortunately, that debt will be paid off in eight months......
