Chapter 44 Hiring Assignments
"Me? Of course, it's all recorded. Xiao Peng stood up from his chair and replied as a matter of course. I have been asked to find out why Cahill has fallen. ”
"You ......." Winner tried to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Cahill.
"Wen Na, the time is almost up, and the rest will be left to you." Cahill gestured outside the tent, where the people had almost gathered.
“...... Cahill, I'll be back as soon as I get back to the village with my people, you..... I never believe you will fall. Wen Na said firmly, turned and walked out of the tent.
Looking at the elves who were gradually leaving the camp, Xiao Peng walked up to Cahill and asked, "What's next?" What are you going to do? ”
"It is impossible for a spirit who admires nature to fall on his own initiative, that is to say, if I really fall tomorrow, it will definitely be the reason why the abyssal demon actively seduces me." Cahill pulled out her dagger, half of Cahill's face reflected on the cold dagger, and her gaze was full of determination.
"You want to hunt demons?" Xiao Peng glanced at Cahill with a strange expression, pretty girl, do you know what you are doing? The demon who can take the initiative to degrade the elven people, its rank is at least legendary, you are a leader template guy, what do you use to fight others?
"That's right." Cahill nodded affirmatively.
“....... It's useless, you should know that the established fate cannot be changed. Xiao Peng was silent for a moment and shook his head. He's really hurting now, how should he do this task?
"I'm curious.... Are you really my people? Cahill suddenly turned around, his eyes focused on Xiao Peng.
"Isn't that proof enough?" Xiao Peng didn't panic, he pointed to the pointed ears on his head and asked rhetorically.
"Then you should also know that elves never believe in the so-called fate." Cahill's expression was unusually determined, what was his fate? That's the shackles I have created for myself. The so-called established fate cannot be changed, it is nothing but the wailing of cowards, who give up on themselves, what to do to change the future?
“....... Courage is commendable, but your strength is not enough for you to change your fate. Xiao Peng laughed.
"So, mage, can I hire you for a day?" Cahill didn't refute, she didn't have a lot of knowledge, but she still had some common sense. She knew very well that there was a big gap between the strength of herself and the Abyss Demon that would appear tomorrow, and her subordinates had all evacuated the camp for her own reasons, so the only thing left was this mage from the future.
"Well..... Why do you think I will... What about accepting your employment? Xiao Peng pursed his mouth and asked in a low voice.
"You're the one Ulix has chosen, and I trust his vision." Cahill looked at Xiao Peng with fixed eyes.
System Prompt: The quest NPC Cahill wants to hire you for a while, do you accept it?
"Okay, tell me about your pay." Xiao Peng hesitated, but still chose yes. This kind of employment task often appears in that kind of large-scale task, so Xiao Peng is also more familiar with it. Unlike normal quests, hire quests are negotiated between the player and NPCs, unlike system quests, where the reward is fixed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Mage, you won't be disappointed." Cahill smiled brightly.
.....................
How to put it, Xiao Peng knew very well what his task was, to record the process of Cahill's fall. To be reasonable, there was no need for him to accept this hiring assignment. But he finally chose to accept it, why?
As a player who has lived in the Miracle Continent for ten years, Xiao Peng knows that in real mode, these NPCs are not just a string of intelligent data, but intelligent creatures with souls. In the past ten years, there have been many players who have given up their player identities, married NPCs, and had children, completely integrating into this world.
Among the three people who had the deepest influence on Xiao Peng in his previous life, one was an NPC. Orc prince Kane Schroeder, this guy once gave Xiao Peng the courage to fight hard when Xiao Peng was still an ordinary player, and even the reason why Xiao Peng became unsuccessful and unscrupulous in his previous life, this orc prince also has to pay a certain responsibility. Of course, it is mainly because of Xiao Peng's own personality.
Cahill's words were the main reason for Xiao Peng to accept the hiring assignment. Because in a sense, he, like Cahill, doesn't believe in fate. Of course, there are obvious differences between the two. Xiao Peng has enough strength to easily break the shackles of the so-called fate, and even he can control his fate to a certain extent. But Cahill is different, she is not strong enough to break her predetermined destiny.
And Xiao Peng also wanted to try what he could do when the role he used was a mage. As for whether this A-level mission will fail in the end, to be honest, Xiao Peng really didn't care about it. His current mentality is completely different from his previous life, A-level tasks, if the completion is high enough, he can even get the reward of legendary equipment, in this era when blue excellence is already the most powerful equipment, what does a legendary equipment represent?
However, Xiao Peng can say very responsibly that legendary equipment does not make him bow his head. He will never do anything that does not allow himself to go as he likes, no matter how strong the temptation is. No way, who made him too confident? The two potion recipes already made him fearless.
..................
"I said, tomorrow's opponent may be a Legendary-rank demon, are you afraid?" Looking at the time, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still very early until the next day, Xiao Peng was very bored, so he could only pull Cahill to chat.
"Of course I'm afraid, but I'm sure I can face my fears. What about you, Mr. Mage? "Cahill isn't hiding anything.
"Me? I'm okay, I'm just looking forward to it. Xiao Peng frowned and thought for a while, but did not give her a clear answer. In his previous life, he had killed no less than three Epic Rank Abyss Lords, and he really didn't have any fear for this kind of low-level legendary Abyss Demon.
"Sure enough, you must be a very powerful mage, right?" Cahill has pinned a large part of his hopes on Xiao Peng.
"Awesome? Haha, rookie mage, I can only use magic bullets and fireballs at the moment, do you think I'm powerful? Xiao Peng laughed.
“........ You go. Cahill was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to the door of the tent.
