As screenshots of the message appeared in the team's channel, all teammates watched with straight eyes.

"No, this looks like a difficult task, what will be the punishment if you fail?" People are good and naturally timid when they are bullied by pigs, and they are a little nervous when they see the warning.

"I'm afraid of wool, the more time limits and punishment conditions there are, the more rewarding it is! Don't forget, this is a Borderlands quest, and there's a cottage as a reward anyway. Fan Hua said with a smile.

"Yes, not to mention other rewards, if you get this cottage, it will be worth at least a lot of gold coins." Lonely as smoke said excitedly.

It seems that this beauty is not short of money, but she is still quite interested in making money......

"Anyway, this is a personal plot mission triggered by Brother Ming, and the punishment can't punish us, what are you afraid of, little pig." Caribbean kelp laughed.

The teammates walked into the hall one after another, and when they saw the woman in the red dress floating in front of Li Ming, everyone was a little nervous, but when they looked at each other, their eyes were no longer full of hatred, and the name on the top of their heads actually turned into a blue and peaceful state, so they approached one by one......

"Brother Ming, are you going to take this task?" Fan Hua asked.

"Yes, the plot has been triggered now, and choosing to talk to her again will trigger the plot clue." Li Ming said.

"But there is a time limit for the task, and I don't know how long it is, what if I don't have time to complete the task?" Fan Hua was still a little worried.

"But if I don't take this mission, if the players find it, they can just take the mission forward, and we'll be busy just now." Li Ming said.

"What are you worried about, if you can't finish it, it's a big deal to be punished." Lonely as smoke said.

"yes, no matter how severe the punishment in the game is, it's just a punishment for game time or a deduction of experience points, what else." Fan Hua also reacted and immediately supported the task.

"Then I'll start ......" Li Ming turned around and chose to continue the quest conversation with the resentful demon spirit.

Bite...... System: Congratulations to the player, you have successfully triggered the [Hidden Sword Cottage Bloody Murder] quest plot, and the resentful demon soul asks you to help the cottage find out the real murderer, and kill all the murderers involved in the bloody case, and bring back their heads to pay tribute to the dead in front of the main hall!

Mission requirements: Time for one month, murderer's head [0/300]

Task rewards: Experience +800,000, gold +100, a Tibetan Sword Cottage title deed, and a mysterious reward.

Quest Punishment: If the quest is not completed within the time limit, the Empire's reputation will be reduced by 10,000, gold will be deducted by 10,000, and experience will be deducted by 1,000,000.

……

As Li Ming selects the task dialogue, the system information pops up again, and a task option automatically enters the task bar, which clearly lists the task conditions and rewards and punishments in detail.

Successfully rewarding 800,000 experience points is equivalent to being able to level up directly, but failing to deduct 1 million experience points means that Li Ming will definitely be downgraded, only to see how much experience he has at the time, and the difference between downgrading one level or two levels.

The penalty for failure will also deduct 10,000 Imperial Prestige, which is fatal, and after deducting 10,000 prestige points, his position as Captain will be directly demoted to the lowest soldier, and he will not even be able to use his mount.

However, there is still a month to carry out the task, and in the reward conditions, a cottage title deed, it means that he will definitely be able to obtain the ownership of this cottage, just like Lonely as Smoke said, a cottage is very valuable, and the major guilds will spend a lot of money to buy it.

Because if you want to establish a sect, in addition to obtaining a construction token, the major guilds also need a borderless land as a territory to establish a sect.

According to the system, players occupy the borderlands individually, and the only way to upgrade the territory is to increase the prosperity of the territory, which is a very slow process.

And the process of upgrading the territory of the sect is simpler, after all, there are many people in the sect, as long as the sect increases in scale, the territory can also be expanded together.

As for the final reward condition, it is a mystery item, how mysterious it is, and it can only be understood after completing the task......

Li Ming saw clearly the task requirements and the setting of rewards and punishments, so he continued to prepare to talk to the resentful demon spirit, figure out all the links in between, and find the clues of the murderer faster.

"Madam, I have accepted your assignment." Li Ming said with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness, willing to help us find out the real culprit in the Sword Hiding Cottage." The resentful demon spirit spoke.

Since this kind of story quest is not a main quest, there is no need to enter the exclusive dialogue interface, and all players can hear the content of the quest dialogue between the two on the side.

"Then can you tell me what the hell is the Tibetan Sword Cottage and what is going on here?" Li Ming asked curiously.

"The Tibetan Sword Cottage has always been a family of weapons of the Mandate of Heaven Empire, my husband and his people have helped the empire build weapons and armor for generations to resist the war launched by the Chaos Empire, and all the clansmen have lived in this cottage, and they have never sinned against anyone." The resentful demon soul sighed and said.

"What's going on with the cottage bloodbath?" Li Ming asked puzzled.

"That was thirty years ago, when the people of the entire cottage lived as peaceful as before, building the number of armor and weapons issued by the empire, but suddenly, a group of masked black-clothed people rushed outside the cottage, and rushed into the gate of the cottage when it was defenseless, they were strong, and our people had no ability to resist at all, so they quickly killed all the guards guarding the cottage, and all the clansmen were caught in the square in front of the main hall......" The resentful demon said angrily.

"They must have come for a purpose, right?" Li Ming frowned and asked.

"Yes, they want to hide the ancestral treasures of the Sword Cottage, as well as the manufacturing methods of crafting weapons and armor, and my husband would rather die than obey, so they will behead our people one by one, even my children ......" said the resentful demon soul with red eyes.

"Damn it, you can't even let go of children if you want treasures!" Fan Hua said indignantly.

"They killed my child, my husband was so angry that he rushed over and died under the other party's long sword, they had no goal, so they tried to coerce me to tell the truth, but I never asked about the cottage, and I was also stabbed to death by them with a sword, their sword penetrated the jade pendant that my husband gave me, penetrated my chest, and the jade pendant was scattered all over the ground, and a trace of my resentment also existed on these jade pendant fragments, as for the rest of the matter, I don't know much." The resentful demon soul said bitterly.

"The treasures of the Hidden Sword Cottage caused this disaster, but unfortunately, they didn't get the treasures they wanted." Tianya Piaopiao sighed.

"It's not that simple, the other party is not here for the treasure, their purpose is to kill the Tibetan Sword Cottage, whether they can get the treasure, they don't seem to care too much. In other words, their mission is to slaughter the Hidden Sword Cottage, and if they can obtain the treasure, it will be an unexpected gain. Li Ming frowned and thought.

"What...... You're saying they're here to kill? Lonely as smoke asked suspiciously.
