After Lin Chen returned to Baiyun City, he found the guard officer he had entrusted before, and after questioning, Lena had safely returned to Earl Bruce's mansion.

So, he made his way to the Count's mansion, and when he arrived at his destination and met Lena, his mission was updated to indicate that it had been completed.

Now, he can ask the Earl to submit a quest and receive the final quest reward.

Earl Bruce received Lin Chen.

"Good work, young and brave adventurer."

"I'm just doing my job." Lin Chen is polite.

According to Dongcheng Yuxiu's "Seventy-two Techniques for Fooling NPCs", Lin Chen smoothly brushed a wave of favorability in front of Count Bruce.

Lin Chen didn't know how much the earl's favorability was towards him now, but it should have reached a certain height, and a special function was triggered.

He suddenly receives a system prompt that the Count can give him an NPC Guardian, which does not occupy the Noble Guardian quota.

Lin Chen was very interested, under normal circumstances, players would only have the qualification to independently recruit NPC guards when they reached the status of viscount or even higher level of nobility, and the number of places was very small.

So he consulted with Earl Bruce about the guard, is it the same level as the violet guard he saw earlier?

He gets a reply from the Count, and it can be at that level, or it can be a more powerful existence.

Lin Chen looked at the list and found that the most powerful guard he could get from the earl was probably the same attribute level as a level 60 dark gold-level boss.

Lin Chen wanted it very much, but he couldn't afford the daily consumption of these guards, or the wages as the saying goes.

Although the earl said that he could send him a guard, but if he sent it out, it had nothing to do with the earl, and Lin Chen needed to find a way to pay for the salary or something.

The higher the level of the guard, the higher the value will naturally be, Lin Chen smiled awkwardly, he really couldn't afford to be a guard.

I also thought that I could take a level 60 guard out and pretend to be forced, and I could also be hard when I beat an ordinary BOSS.

Lin Chen declined the Earl's kindness, and immediately afterward, he received the task reward from the Earl.

The basic reward for the quest is the same as in the mission content preset, which is only 80,000 experience points, 100 gold coins, and 20 Baiyun City reputation rewards.

However, due to the mutation of the mission content in the middle of the mission, they encountered an invincible enemy, the epic boss Clero.

With some luck, they managed to escape from Clero, but accidentally broke into the forsaken land, and the process was very dangerous.

Earl Bruce said that he had heard about the process in Lina and was willing to give Lin Chen an extra reward.

"What do you hope for?" The Count asked solemnly, "Money?" Or right? As long as your ideas are not too naïve, I can satisfy you. ”

After hearing this, Lin Chen fell into thought.

Money? It's easy to understand, presumably he was able to get a lot of gold.

However, at his level, he can get thousands of gold coins, and it is estimated that it will be the sky.

Right? Lin Chen thought of the violet badge in his backpack, and he felt that the earl should have the ability to make him a nobleman in the true sense.

Even if it is only the lowest baron, it is not bad, and his merit is still 180 points away from becoming an official baron.

But Lin Chen thought again, it seemed that becoming a nobleman through the back door through NPCs would not raise the imperial merits to the level of belief.

In other words, if he wants to be promoted to a higher noble, he also needs to find a way to make up for the merits he lacked before.

Lin Chen struggled for a while, and decided that he didn't want "money" or "power", as long as he raised his strength level, these would be sooner or later.

So Lin Chen replied, "I want to become stronger." ”

After thinking for a while, the earl said seriously: "I don't know how to make you really strong, but I know that good equipment can quickly improve your strength. ”

Equip?

It's also very good.

Lin Chen looked forward to it: "Then I want to get a powerful piece of equipment." ”

"Then as you wish, this armguard made by Dwarven Master Shakespear, I think it will suit you well."

Soon, the earl took out a bracer equipment and handed it to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen found that this was a level 45 gold-quality equipment - General Bruce's bracers.

He glanced at the bracer information, and was excited to find that General Bruce's bracer was the best of the gold equipment.

Thinking of the Wild Warrior Armor in his backpack again, Lin Chen suddenly burned with a strong desire to brush the level, thinking that he would desperately brush the level to level 45 later.

Thinking that after he is level 45, he can change into these two new pieces of gold equipment, and his defense attributes can be improved a lot.

Next, go to the level 50 dark gold boss - Reem, even if he is suppressed by the terrain, he can still have a lot of confidence.

Lin Chen said goodbye to the earl, and quickly left the earl's mansion, preparing to replenish the consumables first.

After he finished replenishing his consumables and buying some props to deal with Remmu, his stomach suddenly screamed, which made Lin Chen finally think that he had forgotten to eat dinner.

It seems like......

Yae Sakura has been waiting for him?

Yae Sakura hasn't been online yet, so I guess I'm not waiting for him, right? Yae Sakura didn't say she was going to wait for him......

Lin Chen comforted himself.
