Chapter 1040: Escort Mission
According to the rules of the Adventurer's Guild, each adventurer can only take one quest at a time, and it is not possible to take several quests to do together as in the Overworld.
And don't look at the high level of science and technology in this dungeon world, but the number of monsters is also more, and with the development of civilization and the expansion of people's range of activities, the demand for destroying monsters is getting higher and higher.
Laying railways and roads, building new cities, cultivating farms, etc., all require the help of adventurers to clean up, even if they use a magic device similar to a 'mosquito coil' to dispel monsters and place them near artificial objects, it is not omnipotent, and powerful monsters will still ignore it, so even if you travel fast and long distances by train, there is still a certain amount of risk.
Because of the large number of monsters, the three most common types of tasks on the D-class quest's board are road patrols, clearing out monster groups in specific locations, and escorting travelers to a certain place.
To sum up, Ann pointed out that they had to choose their tasks well.
After discussing with the two for a while, they finally chose an escort mission instead of Ann's best 'meet and scare'.
The reason is simple, the value for money is not good enough.
It's not that the pay is low.,The reward for clearing monsters is the highest of the three tasks.,You can't take the task and don't look at the pay.
For any of the three, this is a new dungeon world, and I don't know anything about it, don't look at Hela's database of Nikolai, but the information that Nikolai is interested in may not be of interest to players.
For example, what is sold in the store.
The types of weapons that weapon shops in different cities are good at, the price, and even the quality are different, and this dungeon world has a train as a means of transportation that can move quickly, so don't just focus on the city when you enter the dungeon, it is more useful to go around and collect more information, even if you don't use it this time, you will save a lot of trouble when you come back next time.
Naturally, there are also this considerations when choosing a mission, and An Yizhi's plan is to try to take on the kind of tasks that need to be completed in other cities or nearby, so as to expand the scope of intelligence search to the greatest extent, and because it is 'inter-provincial', the reward is not low.
After completing a mission, take the same type of mission in the Adventurers' Guild in another city, collect intelligence step by step, and it is estimated that after completing two or three tasks, the main quest will almost be activated.
The task they had chosen was the result of the above idea, to escort the four military academy students to the border towns of the Empire, and to send them to the end of the day.
Accepting an adventurer's quest in this quest is not a casual verbal agreement, or tearing off the note on the board to accept the quest, and there are some formalities to go through.
Take the piece of paper to the business desk and ask the front desk lady to register.
By the way, if you want to act in a team, you must register together when you receive the mission, and there is no limit to the number of people, but the reward will not increase with the number of people, so there is no legal effect if you just verbally agree to complete the task and share the reward, and there is also a banner at the front desk that says "Beware of commission fraud......
- It feels like a play.
Having said that, with the combat effectiveness level of the three of them, only by acting separately can the interests be maximized. That's right, it's just that the main quest of the multiplayer dungeon is generally based on the comprehensive combat power of all teammates, and the action is dispersed without authorization, and once everyone activates a different main quest, the difficulty will be disgusting.
An Yizhi has already suffered losses in this regard......
She took out the adventurer's license that had just been printed and handed it to the young lady at the front desk, who threw it into a machine that looked like a photocopier, and quickly printed something similar to a copy of her ID card.
She returned the license to An Yi and pointed to them, took the copy and said:
"Please come with me, the client is here."
This doesn't count as completing the formalities of taking the mission, the real key part is signing the magic contract.
Just as adventurers pick quests on the board, delegators pick adventurers, especially for this type of escort quest, where the delegator will usually wait in the guild where the quest was issued.
Follow the young lady to the hallway at the back of the hall, where there is a row of rooms marked with numbers.
This is a reception room for clients.
This quest is so troublesome to take on the adventurer's mission, maybe you can also understand it as regular?
No matter what, after all, in other people's land, you have to do things according to the other party's rules.
The young lady at the front desk stopped in front of a reception room marked '1-D', stretched out her hand to open the door, and motioned for the three of them to follow in.
The task said that the students were studying in the military academy, and An Yizhi thought that he would see four stereotypical soldiers, but when he opened the door, he saw that there were indeed four teenagers and girls inside.
The age is about 14~16 years old, two men and two women, and the clothing is not the kind of military uniform that An Yizhi imagined, but it feels very similar to the Japanese light style......
Regardless of the men, the female soldiers of the army actually wear miniskirts, are you sure they don't go to the army to be idols?
"These three are the adventurers who took the escort mission, and their information is here."
The young lady at the front desk handed over the copy, the four ...... The students of the military academy, which can only be regarded as children, looked at each other, and finally a blonde teenager took over.
"It's all newcomers, although one is recommended to the C rank, but the other two are F-level adventurers."
The other party seemed to be a little dissatisfied, An Yi pointed forward and said:
"It's precisely because we're all new that we can hire them at D-class prices."
He looked at Ann and pointed at it:
"That's true."
He then swept his scrutinizing gaze over Red and Appletea, especially on their weapons for a long time.
Adventurers in tattered clothes are not necessarily inferior in strength, but adventurers with good equipment are definitely not weak chickens. And weapons account for a large part of this.
He paid attention to the weapons of the two, and judged whether the other party was qualified through this aspect.
"Where's your weapon?"
"By the time I need to take out my weapon, it's already beyond the level of a D-class mission."
"Huh?"
He stared at An Yizhi, this person had a sense of oppression from the superior, but because he was too young, the result of doing so was only to make An Yizhi feel that he was ruthless and funny......
Don't laugh, the mission will be in vain!
After staring at each other for several seconds, the other party finally said:
"The travel expenses on the way are borne by us, the destination is the pine town near the border fortress, the basic reward is 15 gold coins, and the monsters encountered on the way will be added an additional 5 gold coins, if the situation changes, you need to send us to the nearby Imperial Army fortress, I will add an additional 2 gold coins."
"Has the situation changed?"
"There is only one supply truck a day between Pine Town and the fortress, and since the supply time is classified, it is not clear if there will be a car when we arrive, so you will need to continue to escort it at that time."
An Yizhi pondered for a moment and said:
"How far is Pinewood Town from the fortress?"
"About an hour's walk."
When you think about the benefits, there's nothing wrong with that.
Waving her hand to the young lady at the front desk, the latter took out the prepared contract document, and both parties signed their names under the document, accompanied by a flash of magical light, which meant that the contract officially came into effect.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Once you have taken the task, you will naturally have to do it.
The small town of Songmu at the destination was connected by rail, and it was originally a supply point for the Imperial Army's border fortress, through which soldiers and supplies would be transported, and then slowly developed into a small town.
It's no wonder that the travel expenses are the responsibility of the client, who actually took three players on a freight train belonging to the military, and what is worse is that because the town is very remote, there are no passenger cars to arrive.
As a result, they can only sit on top of canned food boxes that may be supplied to front-line soldiers, and naturally they are not comfortable.
And there is only one way to pass the time when you are idle and bored on the train.
Play cards.
Apple Tea Throws Out a Pair of 3 Says:
"Brother An, seriously, please teach me a little bit of sister skills."
"How do I understand this?"
"Aren't you getting married soon?"
"I'm winning at the starting line."
“……”
Red interjected:
"Sister is nothing more than having time and money, I'll introduce you to Blue another day, that guy is a saint in school, in his original words, 'Is there anything easier than sister?' , a batch of under-flattened. ”
I can't tell that Blue still has this skill.
As the three of them spoke, Ann squinted his finger at the four clients sitting on the other side of the carriage.
The relationship between them is not like that of a few players, and they are divided into two small groups, one male and one female.
An Yizhi felt that it seemed to have something to do with his origin.
The blonde man and another blue-haired woman who spoke as representatives before should be from a noble background, and the remaining two boys and girls, one red and one green, should be commoners.
What's more important is the briefcase-sized suitcases they all carry, two of which have intricate coats of arms and the other two that don't.
The coat of arms was usually a sign of nobility, so it was easy to recognise.
Having said that, in addition to the advanced technology, the most worthy of complaining about this dungeon world is the amount of hair color of the people here.
Blonde hair and red hair, which are more common hair colors in European and American races, not to mention, what the hell are blue and green hairs, the more Ann Yizhi looks at it, the more he feels like he is playing a Japanese RPG......
Putting this part aside, all four of them also carried weapons, after all, they were students in military academies and had official backgrounds.
They are a one-handed stabbing sword, a two-handed broadsword, a staff, and what should be a shotgun.
It's just that their weapons are different from the ones that An Yizhi and others often see, to be precise, they are more similar to An Yizhi's magic channeling staff, which basically has the function of folding and storing, and a lot of complex mechanical structures can be seen on it, and there is a feeling of magic mixed with steampunk.
The weapons and equipment of this world are not necessarily superior to those of other planes in terms of practicality, but they have great advantages in ease of use and mass production.
The replicability of the crystallization of wisdom is the key to the progress of civilization, and the lower the cost of replication, the faster the progress.
The same goes for weaponry, according to Hela, their weapons have integrated a lot of spell functions, as long as they consume mana, they can activate spells instantly, without chanting spells and gestures, and can even be loaded with special magic magazines to consume it as energy to release spells, even an ordinary person who doesn't seem to have magic can get started quickly.
This is very similar to the setting of firearms in real life.
