Chapter 45: First Acquaintance
Through the window of the carriage, Alvin saw that the surrounding plants were constantly decreasing, and the end of the line of sight began to appear an earthy yellow, and the carriage drove along the dusty dirt road, until there was no longer a trace of green around, and then a small stone city came into Alvin's eyes, Redstone Town! The reason for the name is because of the town's specialty, a kind of coal that reflects a red luster in the sun, this coal burns at a high temperature, and has always been sought after by blacksmiths and alchemists, some people say that this coal is rich in a large amount of fire elements to have such a temperature and appear red, the truth of this legend can not be confirmed so far, but this black and red stone in the Gobi Desert to feed a small town, this is true.

Redstone also has adventure guilds, and they're not small, in fact, there are only two main jobs in this town, one for miners and the other for adventurers. Every year, the town releases a large number of quests to clean up the nearby undead or deal with the undead attack, some of which are released by the townsfolk to raise funds and some of which are official bounties from Fedeous. Some people are responsible for mining to feed the town, and others are responsible for keeping them safe, and in Redstone, the division of labor is a straightforward thing to do.
"I've heard that the water source of Red Town has been taken over by a group of undead recently, can you tell me more about the situation?"
A seemingly ordinary sentence immediately caught Alvin's attention, the reason is very simple, two words are mentioned in this sentence, the undead and the water source, the undead do not need to drink water, and what attracts them together is obviously something else, on the other hand, Alvin remembered the name of his mission, the Fountain of Darkness, does this mean that the goal of the mission may be related to the water source?
"Yes, the first person to notice the anomaly was the person who took the water. We have always used the snow melted from the nearby mountains, and two days ago someone was attacked by the undead when they entered the cave where the water was fetched, and although they escaped, they began to delirish after returning, and their mouths kept babbling, and then we sent people to investigate, and found that it was occupied by a large number of undead creatures. ”
"You say you're delirious?" A very clean voice rang out, and Alvin turned his head. Finally saw the person who asked the question before, it was a girl wearing knight's armor, on the girl's head, there was also a shining silver headband, although I don't know what the attributes were, but with her equally shiny golden hair, it was very eye-catching.
"Well, that's right, although that person also has a lot of injuries on his body, he has basically recovered after using the potion, but his consciousness has not recovered until now."
"Where is this man now?" The girl frowned.
"In the barracks, but want to see him with the permission of the captain of the guard, who is usually near the city gate." As soon as the receptionist finished speaking, the knight girl turned around and walked out, and Alvin saw this situation and hurriedly chased her out.
"Who are you? Why follow me? "The girl was very vigilant and found Alvin the first time.
Alvin raised his hand and released a magic insignia, "My name is Alvin, and I'm from Fedeous. ”
"Priest?" The girl's expression softened a lot, "You're also here to investigate this matter?" ”
Alvin shrugged.
"Alright, you can investigate with me, but don't touch the clues without my permission, and obey my orders in the event of a fight. Do you understand? ”
Alvin: "......" was questioned in this tone by a girl who looked three or four years younger than himself, Alvin's mood was somewhat strange, but he had to agree, the surging power of holy light on the girl's body was as conspicuous as her headdress, and Alvin couldn't notice it without noticing. It was obvious that this girl was not an ordinary knight, Alvin guessed that she should be an advanced class of knight or priest, paladin, in other words, she was at least level 40!
"Can you tell me your name?" Alvin asked, following the girl.
"Why are you asking this?"
"No, I've told you your name, you should tell me what your name is, right? This is the most basic courtesy. "For this kind of arrogant little girl, of course Alvin has a way to deal with it.
"Alessia." The girl coldly spat out a name, but did not state her last name.
"......" Alvin searched his memory, but did not find any information related to the name, but he had a rough guess about the identity of the girl.
"Hero" is a word that has been used for a long time.
In online games, there is such an NPC, they are very talented, and the speed of progress is not much faster than that of the player, they have the aura of the protagonist, and they will encounter danger wherever they go, but they are always able to turn evil into good fortune. It can be said that the meaning of the existence of these people is to continuously promote the plot. However, what many players don't know is that the appearance of this term is actually very early, in that era, there was no virtual reality, even holographic games were just starting, players across the screen, manipulating those characters whose skills were set, five or six people in a team, and the enemy to kill and fly, that character, is called a hero!
It is worth mentioning that although they are only virtual characters, some heroes are very popular. Alvin's deepest impression was a game with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, during the first battle of Changbanpo, the players who were still very low at that time gathered tens of thousands of people, sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and accompanied Zhao Yun to kill seven in and seven out, but the result was that Cao Jun was beaten back, and even Cao Chun was almost killed. This is the power of fans!
……
This time the task will not be simple, Alvin sighed in his heart, every hero character is a matter of force, it is not for nothing that the blackening has killed his father, Alvin only hopes that this Alesia will not die and pull out some suspicious artifacts or something.
The captain of the guard in Redstone Town was quite dutiful, and as soon as the two arrived at the city gate, they found this guy, and after revealing their identities, he happily sent someone to take the two to the barracks. So, the two finally met the first person to witness the undead.
"Why did you lock him up?" Alessia asked, frowning.
"It's to prevent him from hurting himself." The soldier next to him replied, "Every time he goes crazy, he attacks everything around him like crazy, and it takes two people to hold him down." ”
"Typical loss of soul." Alvin opened the patient's eyes and tried to illuminate it with a light technique, "The soul has obviously suffered a heavy blow, and this disease can be cured, but most of them will leave some sequelae. ”
"Didn't I tell you not to touch the clues!" Alessia said coldly.
Alvin shrugged, cultivating both divine and undead magic, and he was extremely sensitive to soul things, which even if Alesia was of a higher level, it was not necessarily better than him. What's more, he didn't just say this to her, in "Pangeria", there are not too many ways to turn an ordinary person with little power into an undead. The soldiers chained the man in chains, obviously not only to prevent him from hurting himself, but Alvin also said this to reassure these people that they would not do anything unwise, after all, it is better to live with illness than to die!
