Chapter 20: The Moonlight Thief
The name of this tavern in Glenn City is 'Banshee of the Valley', and as soon as Yuan Mu entered, he saw a special person.
Name: Moonlight Thief (human)
Template: Chosen Hero (Player)
Level: Level 2/Level 1
Profession: Thief
Talents: 1. Extreme combat (the stronger the enemy, the stronger the power you will burst out); 2. Stealth
Combat Skills: Shadow Attack, Concealment, Poison Continuum (Level 2、......
Campaign Skills: Short Weapon Training (Short Weapon Classes Attack Power Increases), Mist (Creates a Fog for the troops, and his subordinates are not affected in the Mist)
This brown-haired, skinny young man named Moonlight Thief was the first player Yuan Mu saw. Yuan Mu used his insight talent to see that he was biased towards combat, and the combination of talent and skills could burst out with high combat effectiveness, and he was already a thief, so he was a person who could not be underestimated.
Yuan Mu was looking at the Moonlight Thief, and the Moonlight Thief also saw Yuan Mu and recognized him as a player. I saw Ursa next to me again, and my eyes lit up. (Tausno training the newly arrived minotaur at the camp)
"Brother, let's have a drink." The Moonlight Thieves sent out an invitation.
"Okay." Take Ursa and Delia to sit at the Moonlight Thief's table, and next to the Moonlight Thief is a woman in a straitjacket, an elite level 2 throwing knife juggler.
The moonlight thief saw that Delia was really an elite, and praised: "Awesome, my name is Moonlight Thief, you can call me Moonlight." ”
"Just call me Yuan Mu."
"I haven't heard of you in Knight City before, have you been developing in Glenn City? It stands to reason that there can be two elites under his command, and there is also a level 3 bear man elite, which is also very good among players in the valley plains. ”
"I've just come to Glenn City, is it powerful to have a level 3 elite?"
The Moonlight Thief understood that Yuan Mu didn't want to talk about his origin: "Of course it's amazing, the Hero Continent has only been open for more than 1 month, and everyone has just learned some of the rules of the world." Elite units are hard to come by, and even if you have the resources to recruit level 3 elites, they won't necessarily follow your orders. ”
Yuan Mu thought that Tao Snow's attitude at the beginning seemed to be true, and asked, "Are you from Knight City?" ”
"Yes, the most players in the Valley Plains are in Knight City, but they often go to other territories to do quests, Glenn City is already a very remote place, there are very few players here, at least I haven't seen a few."
"The resources of the knight city are much more than those of other territories, which is very convenient; Moreover, many low-level troops in Knight City are open to recruitment, and there are many career information and tasks; There is also a camp in Knights City dedicated to connecting with each other and exchanging information; You can also set the Resurrection Temple in Knights' City as a respawn point. ”
The Temple of Resurrection is a high-level structure that can only be built in high-level cities.
"Sounds good, can you tell me where the camp is?"
"Of course, we often contact each other to do more difficult tasks, do we have more people and more strength, after all, we have to compete with those unions." The moonlight thieves could see that Yuan Mu was a lone ranger.
"Unions ? Aren't we entering a world that has just opened, and is there anyone now thinking of creating a union? "There are a lot of unions in the virtual world, and some of the best unions span a lot of game worlds.
The moonlight thief stared at Yuan Mu for a while, and suddenly laughed and said, "It seems that you are like me, and your grades must not be very good when you take classes." ”
was guessed by the moonlight thief, Yuan Mu was a little embarrassed. He has always felt very novel and enjoyed coming to this world, and his grades in the virtual classroom are not good, and the moonlight thief is only good when he says that he is not good.
"What the hell is the union all about?" Yuan Mu could only ask.
"Well, in fact, many unions will select people with better grades to join them before we enter the game world, so as to prepare them for entering these game worlds in the future. These selected individuals are more capable of their own abilities, and some of them are even willing to seek out the information needed by the union regardless of the loss. They are growing faster than those of us who are scattered. ”
It sounded very reasonable, and it also made Yuan Mu feel threatened. The union prepared in advance, even if they entered the game world later than Yuan Mu and them, it was easy to catch up with their development speed by relying on the strength of the collective in the later stage.
"Then there are always people who don't want to join the union."
"Guilds are attractive to most people, and many will commit to protecting the future of these Trailblazers in the game. However, there are also some people who do not want to be constrained, and among those of us who are the organizers of the exchange of ideas and mutual help are those who refuse to trade unions. ”
Yuan Mu frowned and said, "Then will our development be hindered by these trade unionists?" ”
"Actually, those old unions are okay, they are strong, and they don't bother to do this kind of thing openly. If you develop well in the game, they will even invite you to join them, knowing that their bar is very high. However, some newly formed unions that have not gone through a few game worlds can sometimes be very arrogant, and there is one such union in Knight City, called 'Conqueror's Banner'. ”
"Thank you for the news, I think I need to make a trip to Knights' City soon."
"Haha, you're welcome. If you can wait, maybe you can come with me tomorrow. ”
"Did you come to Glenn City to complete your mission? Need my help? Yuan Mu didn't mind helping him. The Moonlight Thief is a very talkative person, and Yuan Mu can get a lot of information about the player from him.
"Thank you, but no. The excellent units in Knight City are too difficult to recruit, so I came here to complete the mission and see if I can recruit the elite, and it turns out that Glenn City is the same. ”
"I saw a few elite units for sale on the trading floor, but they were all low-level elites with no characteristics." Yuan Mu remembered what he saw in the trading hall just now, when Yuan Mu still regretted that he had come and directly hacked the robber leader to death in the bandit camp, otherwise he would have earned a lot of gold coins by selling him.
The moonlight thief smiled wryly: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it." The combat effectiveness of the elite is only one aspect, our campaign level is basically level 1, the elite can improve the quality of our subordinates at the same time, but also help us manage the troops, and the internal affairs in peacetime also have to be handled by the elite to be more assured. Many people still have only one elite, the one they first had. ”
"Ah, will you bring an elite at the beginning?"
"Don't you know?" The Moonlight Thief looked at him quizzically, "I thought this archer was the one you started with." When creating a character selection subordinate, the class with the highest number of points can easily be promoted to an elite unit. ”
The Moonlight Thief can only see Ursadilia's level and template, and the specific name of the class talent skill is not known, and he needs to learn the detection skill.
"Oh no, I just didn't know what everyone could, and I thought I was lucky enough for her to advance to the elite." Yuan Mu lied, he can't say that he started with a hero.
"I see, it seems that you haven't had much contact with other players in the past month or so."
"That's true." This time it was Yuan Mu's turn to smile bitterly.
"You're okay, I spent a lot of points at the time to choose a rare class dagger craftsman, and now I can only let him learn internal affairs and make daggers. It's good that the fit is high, otherwise I would have to do the task alone with a small dagger when I was level 1. ”
"Has anyone recruited a hero? Or has anyone gained a territory? Yuan Mu is most concerned about this issue.
"Heroes, as far as I know, no one has recruited. As for territories, you're not kidding, they're much harder to get than to recruit heroes. The first task of the unions was to gain a territory, and many of them went to remote places to find villages to attack. ”
I chatted happily with the Moonlight Thief, and made an appointment to go on the road together tomorrow, Yuan Mu checked the recruitment conditions of the tavern unit again, and it was indeed very difficult as the Moonlight Thief said. However, Yuan Mu still found the task of an elite old hunter.
Kill the tiger and get back the relics of the old hunter's son. There are at least two level 4 elite tigers in this litter of tigers, and old hunters can be recruited after the task is completed, and they can directly take the old hunters to complete the task together.
-----------------------------------------------------
At the gate of Glenn City, the moonlight thieves were waiting for Yuan Mu.
"Moonlight, here, sorry I'm late." Yuan Mu greeted him from behind.
"It's me early." The Moonlight Thief turned around, "Then we'll ...... now"
Before he finished speaking, the moonlight thief rubbed his eyes, pointed behind Yuan Mu in disbelief and asked, "Yuan Mu, this, these can't all be your subordinates!" ”
Behind Yuan Mu, in addition to Ursa and Delia, who he saw yesterday, there was also a level 2 bandit wizard elite, several level 3 minotaur axe wielders, two level 2 ogre thugs, some bandits, a level 2 demon bird, a level 2 bear man (Urkan), a level 2 torturer, and a level 3 old hunter I saw in the tavern yesterday.
It was followed by a horse-drawn carriage, which the original merchant Ed was driving. There was also a small firebird standing on Yuan Mu's shoulder.
"Uh... Sort of. ”
"I'll still mess with you in the future." The Moonlight Thief glanced at his lonely subordinates with some frustration, the highest level was only a level 3 masked warrior, and there was only this level 3 unit. At that time, I was happy to recruit him for a long time.
"I bought a lot of them on the trading floor in Glenn City, and I accidentally got a gold coin."
"That's right." The Moonlight Thief regained his spirits, "You're in luck, I've seen merchants in Knight's City selling savage class captives, which are cheaper than the average class. But aren't you afraid that they will run away? ”
"It's okay, I've got Taosnow to take care of it." Yuan Mu pointed at Tao Snow, "This is Tao Snow, the highest ranking among my subordinates. ”
Tao Snow was much taller than several other minotaurs, and the moonlight thieves also noticed him just now, but Tao Snow was mixed in the middle of several minotaurs, and the moonlight thieves didn't look closely. The Moonlight Thief re-examines Tausno and discovers that not only is Tausnow level 4, but it is also an elite unit.
"Let me die." The Moonlight Thief muttered.
"Can we go?" Yuan Mu asked.
The moonlight thief was also riding a horse, and when he saw that Yuan Mu's strength was so strong, he had the heart to make friends, so he drove his horse to Yuan Mu's side.
"It's not cost-effective for you to buy troops directly on the trading floor, and the mixed formation of multiple classes will affect morale."
Yuan Mu looked at the Moonlight Thief's subordinates and replied, "I also think it's quite expensive." Where did your men come from, and were they recruited by the Knights? ”
"No, no, no, the city of Knights is also very expensive, and most of my subordinates are obtained from missions. The valley plains have many lords, and each city and village has its own characteristics. For example, there is a level 2 class of longbowmen in the south of Falcon Village, which is an advanced class of archers, which has higher attributes and is cheaper than the level 2 archers in Knight City, and some people go there to do tasks specifically to recruit them. ”
Yuan Mu was actually just in a hurry, but he was still very interested in the longbowman, a long-range class, and there were so many cities and villages in the valley plains, so players probably only knew a little bit about it now.
"Maybe you can recruit in class buildings, that would be a lot cheaper."
"It's cheap to recruit directly from class buildings, but the class buildings in the valley plains are basically controlled by the lords of various places. If you find a class building, it's done. ”
Yuan Mu smiled noncommittally, remembering one thing: "By the way, is there anything we need to pay attention to as players?" ”
The Moonlight Thief thought for a moment; "Where to notice? Actually, we are not much different from the aborigines, and if we want to say anything, we should try to avoid death. ”
"Is it because dying in battle will lose experience points and have a long period of weakness?"
"Not only that, but if you die in a mission, the mission reward will not necessarily be given to you. Some of us have died more often, and the city we used to run has only a little favorability left, and it has become more difficult to recruit troops. Even if the recruitment is successful, morale is very low, and it is very easy to escape. ”
Yuan Mu told the old hunter about the Moonlight Thieves' mission, and slightly changed the route to the Knight's City.
The old hunter's quest, the Moonlight Thief, also saw it, and originally thought about whether to go to the Knight's City to find someone to help complete it together. Now seeing the strength of Yuan Mu's troops, he knows that this task is not very difficult for him.
The village next to the quest also received a task to clear the tigers, and the reward was some gold coins and the recruitment of two level 1 villager warriors, which was better than nothing.
Tiger, a level 3 class of nature. There are five of them, and two of them are level 4 elite tigers as leaders.
Tausno charges directly with the Minotaur, and his class skill Savage Charge can also affect other Minotaurs. In the past, when Tao Sino was only level 3, he could directly second level 4 gnolls, and these two level 4 elite tigers were much more powerful than jackals, but Tao Sino was also much more powerful than before, and with the help of Yuan Mu's other subordinates, he completed the task without any loss.
The Moonlight Thief said enviously: "This elite of yours is really powerful, you can go to the competitive tournament in the gladiator capital." ”
Tao Snow happened to hear it, and grinned: "I participated in it before, at that time I had not advanced to the elite, I won eight games, and the armor on my body and the weapons in my hands were the prizes of the competitive competition. ”
The Moonlight Thief smacked his tongue and said, "Then wouldn't you be able to win a dozen fights now and get the gold-level badge of the gladiator capital." ”
Yuan Mu listened in a fog and shrugged: "Does anyone explain it to me?" ”
The Moonlight Thief smiled, feeling that it was still a bit useful for him to watch the show for so long. Explained: "That's right, the gladiator capital holds competitive tournaments every once in a while, and no matter what kind of unit you are, you can sign up to participate. If you lose one game in a competitive tournament, you will be eliminated, and if you win more games in a row, you will receive a prize, and the town hall will also issue a unit badge. ”
Tao Snow added: "At the beginning, you will arrange opponents with a similar level as you, and the stronger the opponent will be, the higher the level will be higher than you, and it will be difficult to win one more consecutive game later." ”
"Holding a high-level badge can also enjoy discounts in the Gladiator Capital, knowing that the most items in the Gladiator Capital are items that increase the strength of the unit. However, the badge has a time limit, and after the deadline, you must re-participate in the competitive tournament. ”
"Interesting." Yuan Mu wanted to wait until he had been to the knight city to take his subordinates to the gladiator capital to have a look, and Ursa's eyes lit up when he heard the competition.
Everyone went to the tiger's lair to find what to gain, and the surprise was that there was also a tiger cub in the nest, which could grow directly to level 3 (the wild creature cub only needs to find a trainer to grow, and it grows quickly.) )
Yuan Mu gave it to the Moonlight Thief, and now he doesn't lack this level 3 class, so it's better to be a favor.
The Moonlight Thief held the tiger cub in his arms like a baby, squinted and smiled, "If you don't know anything in Knight City, just come to me." ”
Old Hunter (White), Sovereign Level 2 Class, Elite Unit, Current Level 3, Talent Pathfinding, Skill Partner (with a Level 1 Old Dog with Olfactory Skills), Tracking, Breeding. Yuan Mu mainly asked him to take care of the two little demon birds.
