Chapter 158: Farmer Toba? Shadow Priest Toba!

The appearance of the psychic altar made Lin Ling temporarily stop the war games. He didn't believe in the existence of a psychic altar beneath Goldfrey Manor, and the indigenous NPCs of Canyon Village would not know about it.

"Toba." Lin Ling walked out of the door and found Farmer Toba, who was working with the farmers to oil the wheat field puppet, and asked about the Goffrey Manor, "How much do you know about Sir Godfrey and his manor?" ”

"Sir Goffrey is a strange man, he stays in his house all the year round and does not go out, and the Manor does not allow the living to approach, and it is rumored that Sir Goffrey has found a huge treasure in the underground of the manor." Farmer Toba answered Lin Ling's question. With his level of intelligence logic, he couldn't discern Lin Ling's true meaning.

Linguistics is indeed a broad and profound discipline.

Lin Ling sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he patted Farmer Toba's shoulder with a calm demeanor, and said in a low voice: "The location of High Frey Manor is just stuck between Canyon Village and the back mountain, if the rebels of Swan Castle are going to join their main force...... Do you understand what I mean? ”

"I used to go to Goffrey Manor, when I was a priest." Farmer Toba didn't hide his identity from Lin Ling, he pushed open the door of the lounge, invited Lin Ling to enter the door, climbed onto the table, and took a package from the beam.

"Sir GoldFrey once gave me this as a reward for some little things." Farmer Toba unwrapped the package and grabbed a handful of yellow rice.

That's golden rice!

"And you gave me the same seed." Farmer Toba took out a small cloth bag and untied it on the table, and there was a soul stone in the cloth bag, and countless golden ears of wheat were wrapped around the surface of the soul stone like vines, and the soul wail inside was inhaled as nourishment to strengthen his body.

In order to give birth to golden rice, it is necessary to use the dead corpse as the soil for cultivation and the soul as the fertilizer for nurturing.

"This soul stone is a bounty from Ser Goldrey, after he found out that Gorundi and I had started secretly planting the rice seeds you gave us." Farmer Toba sat down at the table and cupped his forehead a little tiredly, "You can also see that the streets of Canyon Village have fewer Glwan Castle rebels than when you last visited, and they are all treated as fertilizer, but we are not the ones who use it. ”

"Psychic Altar." Lin Ling said about the buildings hidden under the Gofrey Manor.

"That's right, psychic altar, there is a psychic altar underneath the Manor of Godfrey, and I know that Sir Godfrey is not a human, he should be an undead...... I mean the forsaken, or the dead, or whatever, and so do the guards around him. ”

Farmer Toba looked at the golden rice spread out on the table with blazing eyes, he scooped up a handful of golden rice, put it in his palm and clenched his fist, watching the golden rice slide down the table one by one.

"Aren't you surprised why we farmers know this?" Farmer Toba didn't wait for Lin Ling's answer, so he asked himself, "Actually, we have long suspected the origin of Sir Goldfrey's family property, since he came to Canyon Village, there are fewer and fewer rich families in the village, and our life has become more and more miserable. Unfortunately, the Hellenstein Castle rebels know far more about Sir Godfrey than we do, and none of them dare to approach Godfrey Manor. Dear Arcane Mage, can you show us the way? ”

The system prompts: Whether to accept the task "Clear Road".

Mission: Ming Lu;

Description: Farmer Toba tells you the secrets of Sir Goldfrey and Goldfrey Manor, and he is troubled by whether to drive Godfrey out of Canyon Village forever, who is not hostile to them for the time being, and fears that even if he gets rid of Godfrey, a new gentry will emerge to take his place.

Note: Accepting this quest will cause your current strategy to fail the map.

Lin Ling looked carefully at the system prompt and couldn't find a description of the task reward.

This doesn't mean that the NPC wants him to do a day job, but it means that there is likely to be a follow-up to the quest that he doesn't know about.

There's too little information......

Lin Ling sighed, when he came to Canyon Village in the previous life, the player group led by the major guilds had already cooperated with the local forces in Canyon Village to wipe out the Swan Castle rebels. Most of his impressions of Canyon Village still come from the article "The Man Who Ate the First Crab: Adverse Wind Plain" Interview".

The headwinds of the previous life were originally before making a fortune, and naturally they could not be compared with the resources held by Lin Ling in this life. That headwind was originally only triggered to the task of collecting mana crystals for Canyon Village, and as for the related follow-ups, they were all completed by the major guilds after hearing that he had made a lot of money. The battle reports written by these guilds after the fact were disorganized, and the value of the information was extremely low.

The name of the Black Knight Commander Gao Frey came from the only information that Lin Ling remembered, from the battle report "Ten Days in Canyon Village" by the Hammer of Doom.

"Ten Days in Canyon Village" has seven days describing the food in Canyon Village, and two days is narrating the author's exclamation.

This is still the only battle report that can catch the eye.

One can imagine what kind of graffiti the royal gunners of other guilds wrote the battle report.

"I'll do that."

Lin Ling thought for a moment, but decided to take over the task, and the strategic attack and defense plan he deduced halfway through immediately failed.

System Hint: You have one last chance to complete this wargame.

"Dear Arcane Mage, I have done many wronged things, stained with the blood of many innocents, and Sir Goldfrey has threatened me for this, and has threatened me to join his side as a priest of the precepts. But this is not in line with the truth of my beliefs, assuming you are willing to trust me like this. Farmer Toba suddenly said with an excited expression, "I am willing to put on the chain mail of the past and fight at the forefront." ”

"Of course."

Lin Ling had always been puzzled by the "Farmer Toba" who was holding a pitchfork and dressed as a farmer, this was not the dress that a priest should have. However, he never thought that the NPC of Farmer Toba, no, who should be called Shadow Priest Toba, would come forward and tell him about his past.

The Shadow Priest is an outlier among priests, and killing and being killed is the norm for this priest's advanced profession.

"Sir Ash, the smuggler Goldtooth, and the miller's thumb have privately trained a number of armed peasants who can be our help." Toba, who had resumed his career as a Shadow Priest, revealed to Lin Ling some information that he already knew through the two rounds of strategic offensive and defensive map wargames, and of course there was also news that he didn't know, "But please don't mix us, the farmers, with the armed peasants they have cultivated, they are the squire's lackeys, our sworn enemies, if there is a chance, no one here will let them go." ”

"I see."

Lin Ling nodded, no wonder the mixed team of armed peasants and farmers he had trained would have such poor combat effectiveness, and the relationship between the two sides had developed into a disagreement.

"The Crop Golem is our most important combat partner, and I didn't even tell Commander Gao Lundi how many mana crystals you got for us." Toba, the Shadow Priest, said regretfully, "It's a pity that there are no elastic frames and power cores, otherwise our technicians would have been useful, instead of fighting with pitchforks, unlike now. ”

"How many technicians do you have?" Lin Ling's face was slightly red, of course it was his decision not to send the elastic framework and energy core to Canyon Village, as for the reason...... It's very simple, he is afraid of trouble, and he is too lazy to do repeated labor to produce those two props.

"I'm a connoisseur." Lin Ling's puzzled Shadow Priest Toba revealed his title, "As long as the materials are enough, I can make those two props." ”

"50 sets, sir, we only need 50 sets, we can convert 50 crop field golems into walking harvesters and arm 50 technicians!" This time, it was the turn of the Shadow Priest Toba to solve Lin Ling's doubts, "The technicians and craftsmen in Canyon Village are all veterans who have retired from the Seventh Fleet, you know, we still have to support our families, and some veterans will always ...... Ahem, anyway we have plenty of materials. ”

"I'll give you 80 sets."

Lin Ling calculated, he made another 160 parts, no matter how bad his luck was, his strange object making skills could be upgraded to high-level.

Advanced Connoisseurs can hire NPC apprentices to produce low- and mid-level known artifacts for themselves, and when the time comes, they will have as many elastic frames and power cores as they want, freeing up their hands to do other things.

"I'll tell someone to bring in the ingredients right away."

Shadow Priest Toba opened the door and whispered a few words to a farmer waiting by the door, who immediately saluted Lin Ling and turned to leave with strong steps.

"Big Bean is our best technician, and we can't find a better one than him, even in the Seventh Fleet." Shadow Priest Toba boasted about the departed farmer.

Lin Ling just raised his chin in disbelief and was about to nod, when the system prompt ringing in his ears made his jaw unable to put down.

System Hint: You have activated a new class, the Walking Reaper, which will appear as a playable force in the Strategic Attack and Defense Map after completing a trade with Toba the Shadow Priest.

The size of the team composed of 80 walking harvesters can be called "a lot", then Lin Ling noticed that the level of the NPC Big Bean who left just now was level 27, so the strength of this new team should be level 22 (a lot), which was enough to solve the elite of the rebel flankers who gave him a headache.

"Can you tell me about your militia?" Lin Ling's mind moved, with the addition of Big Bean and the Walking Harvester, he didn't have enough cards in his hand.

Those militias who had escalated on the battlefield naturally came into his sights.

"Militia? There used to be a lot of militia in our village, before the arrival of the Stewanstein Castle rebels...... After all, the Seventh Fleet is only a mountain away from us, and their regular army is recruited from us, and the rebels often come to us to loot, but the rebels in Swan Castle killed the militia instructors, and without the guidance of the instructors, the militia could not continue to train, and naturally could not maintain the organization. ”

Shadow Priest Toba said this, scratching his head a little embarrassed and said: "Although both I and Grundy have experience in commanding the army, I have to take care of the farmers in Canyon Village, they are the real masters and protectors of this land, and Grundy also has his own affairs, he has to train the main force of the resistance, especially after the Orion leader was killed by a group of rebels when he went out hunting not long ago, Miss Sara, the original helper of Grundy, had to lead the Orion, which increased his burden. ”

"Burden?"

Lin Ling remembered that the commander Gao Lundi had only 92 men under his command, and the rebel army was only 93 units in total, including him.

Toba, the Shadow Priest, has 741 units under his command......

Burden? Commander Gorundi is probably the real burden.

"Gorundi is a young man." The Shadow Priest Toba's logical intelligence read what Lin Ling meant, and the magic of linguistics is that this discipline can always make the listener understand the true meaning of the words at the most inappropriate time...... Repeat, at the most inopportune time!

"Young people are always a bit angular." Shadow Priest Toba said with some unconfidence.

"Let's talk about the militia." Lin Ling had some confidence in Commander Gao Lundi, on the strategic offensive and defensive map, the sparsely numbered rebel army phalanx had already proved the value of its existence.

As for the ability of Commander Gao Lundi himself, at least until the liberation of Canyon Village, Lin Ling will not make any public comments.

"If we want to rebuild the militia, we need a militia instructor, and it is only required to have some experience, preferably on the battlefield." Shadow Priest Toba makes his request for a militia instructor.

"These golden grains of rice, in exchange for a militia instructor for a week, after a week it has to leave, how about it?" Lin Ling proposed the corresponding quid pro quo, the psychic power contained in the Golden Grain Rice was far more than that of the undead's prayers, as long as these Golden Grains were moved to the place of ghosts where there would never be a shortage of corpses and souls, what was a militia instructor?

Ten of them he could afford!
