Chapter 9 Tasks
Archers in light leather armor bent their bows and arrows to shoot flaming arrows at the village's houses made of planks and straw.
Warriors in rope armor and chain mail chased down villagers who escaped from their burning houses with scimitars or swords.
In the middle, several men on horseback in full armor galloped back and forth through the village, staring specifically at those who fled faster, and then pierced them with knights' spears to deter other villagers who dared to flee or resist.
This is the scene that Sui Yu just saw when he came to the village.
Obviously, the reason why this village is so lively is not that some bonfire feast was held early in the morning, but that it was attacked by unknown enemies!
With good eyesight, coupled with Sui Yu's relatively high position, he clearly saw the tragedy that happened in the entire village, and even understood the purpose of these guys attacking this village by the way.
I saw that the villagers who gave up their resistance except for the old man and the baby, all the villagers were divided into men and women and tied their hands with ropes and put them in two strings, looking at the long procession, it was obvious that this group of people had attacked more than one village, and the purpose was to capture the villagers of these villages.
"Slave catchers?"
Sui Yu muttered to himself, since he had also played some online games adapted from the Middle Ages in the past, Sui Yu subconsciously guessed that the reason why these guys attacked this village was to sell these villagers as slaves!
"Village Chief! Come on! ”
Sui Yu was stunned for a moment, only then did he find that several villagers ran over at the entrance of the village near his side at this time, as for why they were villagers at first glance? Naturally, each of them was dressed in coarse linen, which was clearly different from the thugs who were armed with weapons and weapons.
In order to prevent attracting monsters (especially those evildoers don't seem to be of a low level), Sui Yu subconsciously activated the optical camouflage effect on his belt, making his whole person gradually become transparent and hidden in the background.
"Leave me alone! I'm not young, everyone ignore me, let's run! Surrounded by many villagers was a man with gray hair and a thin body, and it was not difficult to see from the names of others that this old man should be the head of this village.
"Village Chief! You've worked all your life for our village, how could we leave you alone to escape?! ”
Hearing this, the old village chief anxiously hissed to everyone: "Stop talking nonsense! Come on! Hiding in the woods might be enough to get your life! Let's go! Don't let me hold you down! ”
"You can't run anywhere!" Just as the old village chief urged the others to run quickly, a loud shout sounded from behind everyone, and at the same time, a knight wearing full-width armor riding a strong horse rode after him, and then stabbed to death a male villager who had run to the door of the village wall in the screams of the villagers, and then did not pull out the knight's spear that had pierced the man's body, but directly pulled out the long sword at his waist and rode his horse to block the gate of the village leading to the woods.
"Run! I'm blocking him! The old chief, not knowing the courage that had erupted there, rushed to the knight's side at once, and then bent down and embraced the horse's legs, as if he wanted to use this method to give the others a chance to escape.
But the other young men attacked the knight with sticks they had found from the side.
"I can't help myself!"
The sword light flashed, and the wooden sticks in the hands of the besieging villagers and men instantly broke into two knots, and at the same time, the heads of those men were also cut off by the sharp long swords in an instant, and the headless corpses fell to the ground sprayed with blood.
"Cut! Did you earn almost ten gold coins less? The knight shook off the blood from his sword without healing, and then looked down with some disgust to see a large stain on his black armor.
"A weak is a weak! Except for staining my armor, it's no threat to me at all! After cursing, the knight looked at the old village chief, who was holding his horse's legs and trying to fight for the other young men to escape, and said, "Old fellow, you don't have to hold it! Because everyone else you're trying to protect has already been killed by me! ”
The old village chief seemed to realize that he was the only one left in the villagers at the scene, and then the old man sat down and muttered to himself: "Why are you disobedient!" If you run away just now! If you run away......"
"Even if you run away, you won't be able to run far! Do you think we didn't have an ambush at the back door? Hahaha! ”
Hearing the knight's words, the old village chief finally showed a look of despair.
"I just like to see the look of despair on the face of the weak! Hahaha! The knight laughed wildly and turned over and dismounted, and then kicked the old village chief so hard that he was seriously injured and vomited blood.
"Old fellow, this is punishment for touching my beloved horse with your dirty hands! And then......" The knight raised his sword and said, "Let me give you a ride!" Anyway, the old man can't sell it for any price! ”
Burst! There was a muffled sound, and the old village chief who was waiting for death with his eyes closed suddenly found that although his body was very painful, he obviously did not feel like being hit by a sword, and when he opened his eyes, the old village chief suddenly found that the knight who was still showing off his might in front of him just now had completely disappeared with his right arm holding the sword!
Bright red blood gushed out from the severed arm, and after an interval of about three seconds, the knight seemed to react to the terrible howl that his arm could not help but let out after it had been severed.
"I'm sorry, I know it's wrong to sneak up from behind, but I think it's more efficient to do it!" With seemingly playful but indifferent words, a man in a sumptuous black trench coat walked up from behind the knight.
"You ...... Bastard! The knight with the broken arm turned around and tried to use his remaining left arm to attack Sui Yu, who had sneaked up one of his arms from behind, but with the sword light that could not be captured by the naked eye, the knight's left arm joints, two legs and knees were instantly hit by the sword, and the seemingly indestructible full-body armor seemed to be no different from tofu under Sui Yu's sword light!
Then the knight, who had just been showing off his might, fell to the ground in an extremely miserable position, and even the helmet was knocked off as it fell, revealing a panicked face under the helmet.
"Cut! Is it only level 20 at most? Dressed so gorgeously, I thought it was about the same level as Locke! I knew it was an opponent of this level, so I wouldn't have attacked from behind just now! It's not bad to make a handsome debut! ”
Sui Yu muttered to himself, and then used the long sword with his right hand to devour the soul and danced a sword flower at the same time to the knight whose face was full of despair at this time: "I have no interest in appreciating the desperate expression of the weak, but I have to admit that it is really cool to see the so-called strong man show a desperate expression in front of me!" ”
After saying that, the Soul Eater stabbed into the knight's armor and instantly took the knight's life and soul!
The longsword-like artifact [Soul Eater] not only has a strong sharpness, but also has a super high magic power amplification attribute. You can also capture the soul of the target when you kill it! Captured souls can be used to upgrade the Soul Eater body, or to restore mental and physical strength to the Soul Eater holder. Of course, the soul sealed by the Soul Eater can also be extracted for other purposes, for Sui Yu, who is a half-hanged swordsman and a half-hanged necromancer, the Soul Eater is definitely the most suitable weapon for him!
"Damn! You actually killed Vigor! ”
Well, at this time, the knight's accomplices seemed to have chased after him, and happened to see the scene of Sui Yu pulling out his long sword, so these men wearing light armor and holding various blades roared and attacked Sui Yu.
"Vigorously? It's a really creative name, but unfortunately, I don't seem to feel how much strength this guy has! "Sui Yu is still pretending to be innocent, and he doesn't want to think that he directly used the special ability optical camouflage attached to the artifact-level belt [Phantom] to launch a sneak attack in order to save trouble, and he didn't give this knight called Dali a chance to show his strength at all......
However, although Sui Yu was pretending to be innocent, when those guys with various weapons rushed to the side and raised their weapons to attack him, it was like a repetition of the scene where the knight killed those villagers just now, accompanied by a dazzling sword light, whether it was a long sword, a scimitar or a two-handed axe, all of which were cut off by Sui Yu with one blow!
"It looks like cutting off weapons or something, it's not as difficult as you think!" Sui Yu muttered, and then at the moment when those guys who found the idea were about to turn around and run for their lives, they slashed their swords again, this time cutting off the other party's head!
Unlike that knight called Mighty, who hacked people to death and got his own blood, using the magic shield attached to the artifact-level windbreaker [Dark Night] that is enough to neutralize physical and magical attacks below level sixty, blood or anything doesn't even want to fall on Sui Yu's body!
“OK! Call it a day! Looks like there's no way around here! After Sui Yu finished cutting the monster, he felt that he couldn't achieve his purpose of coming to the village here, so he was ready to turn around and leave.
The most important thing for Sui Yu now is to quickly find the players in this world, and he is really not interested in staying here to kill monsters and level up, not to mention that the level of these humanoid monsters is only more than ten levels, whether it is killing experience or item explosion, it is too insignificant for Sui Yu now.
"Warrior, please wait!" Hearing this intermittent sound, Sui Yu remembered that there was a dying old village chief at the scene, but looking at his angry appearance, it seemed that he was injured by the kick he had just kicked by the knight, and it was estimated that he would die soon.
Thinking that the old village chief was still desperately trying to protect his villagers just now, although he knew that this scene was just a plot scene, Sui Yu came to the old village chief and asked him in a low voice after sighing: "What else do you have to say?" ”
"Help me......" Sui Yu frowned slightly, wondering if the internal injuries of this NPC could be cured with his own healing potion, and he was a little worried that the healing potion from "Chaos World" would be ineffective when used on NPCs in this world (although he also used healing potions on Locke before, because the other party was only mildly unconscious, he really couldn't judge the effect of the medicine).
However, after the old village chief gasped for a long time, he finished the second half of the sentence with difficulty: "Help me...... My daughter! Please! ”
"Save people? Uh......" Sui Yu was stunned, because after he heard the old village chief's appeal, a system window suddenly popped up in front of him: "Mission: Rescue the village chief's daughter!" Reward experience 1000, 3 gold coins, do you accept? ”
"I didn't expect the mission system to still be available in this virtual world!" Sui Yu muttered and clicked the accept button, but the familiar system error dialog box popped up again.
"Sure enough, is there still a problem with the database?" Sui Yu didn't care about this, anyway, it was a small task with a combat level of no more than twenty, and it didn't matter if he couldn't take it.
However, seeing Sui Yu talking to himself in words he didn't understand (Sui Yu was still used to talking to himself in Chinese) while clicking on the void in front of him (the system menu can only be seen by the player himself), the old village chief couldn't help but beg again: "Please, Tolia is still young, I promised my wife to protect her!" Woooooo ”
Seeing the village elders in tears, caring about their daughters even more than their own lives, Sui Yu felt that a certain heart in his heart was touched, just like the so-called pity for the hearts of parents in the world!
"Hmmm! I promise you! Will definitely save your daughter! Sui Yu nodded heavily, and then the task prompt box in front of him suddenly changed to a task acceptance state at this time, and even a green arrow appeared in Sui Yu's field of vision pointing to a certain direction.
Sui Yu, who has completed countless tasks in the game, naturally knows that this arrow is the indicator arrow used to help him complete the task after the task is accepted, although many players complain in the forum that there is such an arrow indicating the mission goal and making the task too simple, but players who like kimchi games still account for the majority, so the game company that developed "Chaos World" finally retained this indicator arrow.
At this time, Sui Yu is really grateful to the game company, it is really helpful to have such an arrow to indicate the direction, otherwise in a rescue mission like this, it would be difficult for him Sui Yu to find the target, and everyone might be dead......
Flipping his hand and taking out a bottle of healing potion, opening the cap of the bottle, and importing it into the mouth of the old village chief who learned that Sui Yu would save his daughter and had begun to enter a dying state, and then Sui Yu left a sentence: "I went to save your daughter, and you also held on!" I just gave you a healing potion, and I don't know how effective it is, but maybe I'll be surprised! After saying that, he quickly ran away in the direction indicated by the arrow.
