Act98 A sudden change
At this point, the mission has deviated greatly from the original game.
When the player takes on the quest "Ignati Woods the Sorrowful Merchant", it is already late January to February of the year of the Red Moon (554 in the continental calendar), but what Gross is doing now is to advance all of this to the beginning of November of 553.
Nearly three months.
Sidney Collins, the young master of the Lord's house of Karthus. As a player, Gross is no stranger to the young baron Karthus, who was born in the year of the flower and then died in the year of the blood moon at the age of 23, mainly due to the incurable flower willow disease in this world.
These were later widely circulated in the minstrels' lyrics, which made people feel more about the prevalence of willow disease.
It's just that Gross never thought that he would meet this young master of waste wood at such a time and in such a place-
With his current strength, he could easily slap this young master of waste wood against the wall, but because of the other party's special status, he knew that the current situation was extremely tricky.
He found that his "European Emperor's Qi" was fading.
According to the law of conservation of character in the game, if a player is always very lucky for a certain period of time, then when that period of time passes, his luck will go to the other extreme.
The other pole of the European emperor is called the non-chieftain.
For the task at hand, it is undoubtedly an extremely bad luck to meet this greedy and lustful young master of waste wood.
Gross turned, and he thought for less than a second. One arm brushed Sidney's arm away, and the young baron acted like an emaciated chicken cub with all his might.
What a shame!
In the Elantra Kingdom, commoners have a strict set of rules for facing nobles, and even mercenaries have to bow their heads respectfully in the face of this special class.
But this young mercenary actually did it!
Although there was no obvious attack, this act was considered a great offense in Sidney's eyes—
Normally, the nobleman does not have to bear any responsibility for drawing his sword to kill such a guy, but he does not have the courage and confidence to do so.
A pair of indifferent eyes stared at him, like a dormant beast, he knew that he only had the strength of the lowest level of the first order, and this young mercenary looked so fierce.
His body, which had already been hollowed out by wine, couldn't help but tremble, he glanced at Crocker, and his finger nodded in the air, "Crocker, who is this guy?" ”
He shouted at the top of his voice.
"I don't know."
"Bald" Crocker walked out of the room at this time, stretching a smiling face.
"It seems that he is a mercenary who has come to make trouble, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."
His pale face seemed to flush with excitement, and the young baron's chest rose and fell, and his voice became shrill and rapid again.
"Let your people kick him out. By the way, remember to break both of his arms, and his dirty paws touched this lovely young lady! ”
"This ...... I'm afraid it's hard to do, but this gentleman is very powerful. ”
Crocker replied.
He looked at Gross and hooked his head in front of the young baron again, with the same deference as he had done to Gross.
Sneer.
Then the young girl Eve was protected by a pair of strong arms. Through the black, matte cloth cloak, Eve could already feel the sturdy and warm body of the young mercenary.
"Your Excellency, the young master of the Collins family has spoken, you see, what should I do?"
Crocker looked at Gross with a smiling expression, the opposite of his previous humble attitude, as if he had changed his face.
Gross grabbed the slender arm of the girl Eve, glanced at the two of them, and turned around without saying a word.
He walked down the corridor and down the spiral staircase to the hall below.
"Bastard, are you deaf?"
Behind Gross and Eve, a roaring duck voice, "Crocker, you pig, what are you doing in a daze?" Bring your men to stop him, and if you don't have enough men, go and call the city guards. ”
"Yes, Master Sidney."
A short bell sound rang throughout the interior of the Black Dragon's Eye. All the halls suddenly turned into a commotion, and the powerful thugs of the "Dragon's Eye Brotherhood" took up weapons such as swords, clubs, and so on.
"Dogtooth" Onee pushed away Millie, the red-haired girl who had already passed out on her body, his face was calm, he got up from his chair, walked to the weapon rack in the corner and took off a cold iron war spear.
He knew very well what this short ringing meant, and within the "Black Dragon's Eye", it represented the highest level of alarm.
All the members of the "Dragon's Eye Brotherhood" present must be prepared to meet the enemy.
Somewhere on the first floor of the hall, a secret door was opened, and the sunlight melted into the dark depth and gloom, and a figure walked quickly to the stable at the back. He rolled over his horse, quickly raised his whip, and walked towards the police office near Metasequoia Street.
Crocker stood in front of the windowsill of the room, his eyes full of pride. He turned his back to the angry Young Master Sidney, feeling that the mood of the day had suddenly changed so brightly.
"I'm going to hang that boy on the gallows...... By the way, that young lady, Crocker, you remember to get me back. ”
Sidney was still babbling, landing in Crocker's ears like a buzzing disgusting fly, but he still smiled politely, "Don't worry, Master Sidney." ”
"Where's the little pill?"
"Well, here."
……
Gross took the little hand of the young girl Eve, and walked all the way down the spiral staircase to the downstairs, and when he passed through the halls he had passed before, the active figures had all disappeared by this time, and were replaced by empty and quiet—
There seemed to be bumps and noises in the distance, and he suddenly turned around and looked down at the gray-haired girl.
"Eve, are you afraid?"
Gross asked, sensing the coldness of the girl's soft and greasy palms.
The girl just shook her head.
Originally, it was just for the mission, but at some point, a complex emotion of anger and sadness mixed together in Gross's heart.
His right hand landed on the gauntlet of the Frost Sword, and he adjusted the position of the weight ball slightly, while in his left hand, he pulled out the scimitar with a fish-scale pattern—
"Barbarec Pirate Scimitar" (Excellent): This is a meticulous work of Marve's experienced craftsmen, and it is made with a special process that has been honed thousands of times, and the blade is extremely sharp. Barbarets, the former pirate king, is said to have used this weapon.
Strength 2.4, Constitution 3.0, Hardness 5, Combat Level LV10 required.
This time he didn't bring a shield or a full set of armor, and he specially adjusted the feel of the Frost Longsword to allow for the dual-wielding weapon. But at this time, Gross was undaunted, and his gaze seemed to pass through the boundless darkness and go straight to the flickering lights in the distance.
After all, there is still no need to fight.
At this moment, the memory returned to its former point, this time he was alone, and his companions were still outside.
But he is much stronger than he was at the beginning****** S: the first more!
