Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Headless Horseman
Xiao Buli nodded secretly, although this order is a bit unkind, but it is something that a qualified ruler must do, after all, Kowloon City is so big, it is impossible to protect all the victims, such an order can not only increase military spending but also limit the number of people entering the city, but it is also very necessary.
But he naturally wouldn't say that, and then scolded Zhang Xiaotian a few words, he glanced at those homeless people, but they were all from Qiansong Town, but the number seems to be a little less, only more than a hundred, of which there are more than a dozen militiamen, accounting for one-tenth of the proportion, those who are gone, I think they were all killed by monsters on the road, although the Running Bull Plain is relatively safe, but it is only relative, and there are still many low-level monsters.
The old mayor of Qiansong Town was still there, and this would also squeeze out of the ranks, "This righteous man, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are a native of Kowloon City, do you know where there is a suitable place to settle nearby?" ”
If it was changed, Xiao Buli would have planned for them without saying a word and wanted a safe place for them, but since he understood the rules for NPC release tasks and favorability granting, Xiao Buli would have other ideas.
Obviously, the favorability of the tasks issued by the NPCs has a lot to do with the situation of the NPCs and the rewards they can deliver.
The richer the reward an NPC pays to a player, the less opinion he needs to pay, and the worse the reward an NPC can take, the more opinion it gives, and if there is no reward, the opinion should be doubled.
In addition, at the moment of crisis, the favorability will also be doubled, just like the reason why Xia Zuowei became the retinue of the real person of Wudao, a large part of the reason should be because Wudao gave him great help at the moment of his life and death, and he couldn't give any reward to Wudao, so Wudao suddenly rushed his personal reputation to worship, and then accepted Xia Zuowei as an entourage.
For example, when he subdued Gao Baiming, and when Yaoyao subdued Niu Dazhuang, he gave great help to the other party when he was at a critical juncture of life and death, and suddenly rushed his prestige to worship, which shows that the more crisis the NPC gives the task reward system, the more favorability is allocated, in this case, let the crisis come more violently.
Xiao Buli couldn't help but smile slightly when he thought of this, "Old mayor, I don't know what your plans are in the future, where are you going to settle down?" ”
The old mayor was not familiar with the geographical environment near Kowloon City, so he could only say with a sad face, "Of course, the safer the place, the better, I wonder if the righteous man has any good suggestions?" ”
Xiao Buli thought for a while and said: "There is an Anping Village on a day's journey south, I think it will be safer to come there, but there are many fierce beasts and villains along the way, and it is not easy to get there safely." ”
The old mayor hesitated for a while, then suddenly gritted his teeth, and said as if he had made a lot of determination, "I don't know if the righteous can escort us for a ride, the old man will be rewarded." ”
System prompt: Trigger the task 'Great Migration', whether to accept or not, yes/no.
The Great Migration: Escort the homeless people of Qiansong Town to Anping Village, quest reward, 30 credits.
Escort tasks are usually more troublesome, and there is a full day's journey here in Anping Village, and a task is only thirty silver coins to sit down, if it is changed to usual, Xiao Buli will never pick it up, but now for him, the less reward, the better.
Xiao Buli nodded and smiled, "It's my responsibility." After saying that, he clicked and accepted the task.
The homeless people of Thousand Pine Town are on their way.
After all, the Running Bull Plain is a low-level area, and on the whole, it is relatively safe, plus there are a large number of people in Qiansong Town, and there are more than ten militias that can assist in the battle, and the three or two little monsters encountered along the way do not dare to come up to die, basically there is no danger, but when passing by a river, I encountered a river monster, which is an elite-level beast, if it is changed to usual, this team will die three or five people, to say the least.
However, Xiao Buli will naturally not be like this here, the battle will be solved in three or two clicks, and some militiamen will be cured with a resurrection technique, and soon escort the displaced team to cross the river safely.
Seeing that it was getting dark, but there was still a long way to go from Anping Village, the team of displaced people in Qiansong Town had to stop and prepare to camp.
Xiao Buli said to the old mayor, "It's getting late, I'm going to leave for the time being, and I'll come back tomorrow to escort you." ”
The old mayor nodded, "It's okay for the strong man to go, he is not afraid that Xiao Buli will not come back at all, because in this case, the other party will not be able to get the task reward, and it is only about half a day's journey from Anping Village, so it is estimated that there will not be too much danger." ”
Na Xiao Buli turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly said, "Oh, I almost forgot, there is a mass grave near here, and when the yin qi is strong at night, the ghosts will come out to choose people to eat, old mayor, you have to be careful, light more torches." ”
The old town chief was shocked, "Righteous man, walk slowly, what you just said is true?" ”
It's no wonder that the old mayor lost his color.,The ghosts in this game,For ordinary people, it can be said that there is no solution.,Can't see and touch.,If it's a native of the hometown because there is a village spirit guarding it, it's okay.,But it's not such a good thing in the wild.,Although the ghost's attack power is very weak.,And the attack ** is not high.,But there's no way to resolve it.,And ignore the defense.,If there's really a mass grave ghost running out to kill people.,Then this night down how can some people die.。
Xiao Buli nodded and said, "Naturally, I won't joke about this kind of thing." ”
But the old mayor said, "Righteous man go slowly, can't you stay and protect us?" ”
Xiao Buli said: "What we said at the beginning was just to suddenly escort you to Anping Village, this ghost ghost is not something I can deal with." The old mayor was about to say anything more, but as he hesitated, it was already dark.
Xiao Buli turned around and was about to leave, but the old mayor came up and grabbed him, "The righteous can't leave us alone, I beg you." ”
System prompt: Trigger the task, 'Night is coming', accept or not, yes/no.
Night is coming: Protect the townspeople of Thousand Pine Town through this night, quest reward: 10 credits, and reduce the quest reward for each person who dies.
Xiao Buli smiled, and naturally chose to accept it.
At this time, there was a sudden scream from a villager, as if he had been caught by something, "Oh my God, something caught me, no, there is a ghost!" ”
Ghosts in this world are very common, and it is precisely because of this that few people are willing to stay in the wild at night, and the villagers will find out that there are ghosts around, and they scream in fright, even those militiamen are panicked, if they are against monsters, they can rely on courage to support it, but ghosts can't even see a shadow at all, and this invisible attack deepens their attack.
"Don't run around, gather together, I can protect everyone." Xiao Buli said and opened the all-seeing eye, it didn't matter if it was opened, I saw that there were white translucent ghosts everywhere around, and a few people close to it were attacking the townspeople, although these ghosts were very weak in attack, but they were invisible and invisible, and there was no way to fight back, those villagers could only dodge in embarrassment, and some simply squeezed into the crowd, hoping that the ghost would catch others.
Xiao Buli rushed forward and slashed away with a sword, and a ghost suddenly turned into nothingness.
System Tip: Kill the mutilated soul to gain 45 points of actual combat experience.
It's too easy, Xiao Buli thought to himself.
Burning Sun Sword Qi - With the injection of the True Yuan Value, the Soul Slayer's Blade is magnificent, although the general spell can only cause a small amount of damage, but it also strengthens some power, coupled with Xiao Buli's current attack power, killing these ghosts is like chopping vegetables and melons, and a few ghosts nearby have been killed in a moment's effort, and more than 500 points of experience have been brushed.
It's a pity that it seems that because of the reason for brushing it last time, the number of ghosts is not as many as expected, and it was killed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Buli was a little disappointed, because the simpler the task, the less favorability he received, his heart moved, anyway, those villagers couldn't see ghosts, so he simply made a look of fighting, waving the blade in his hand all over the sky, slashing at the air, and it took a long time to stop.
"Huhuhu, fortunately, I have this divine sword given by my master, and although the ghosts are fierce, I finally got lucky to win."
Xiao Buli pretended to have been fighting for a long time and said, even the shape and sound verbs were made out, and the old mayor was very grateful, "Thank you to the righteous man, but unfortunately we have wandered so far, and there is not much money to repay the righteous man." ”
Xiao Buli said: "Meeting is fate, what to repay is not to repay." ”
While the two were talking, Xiao Buli's gaze suddenly turned cold when he looked at the distance, and saw that in the dark night, a knight who exuded the breath of death was coming towards them from afar, the knight and the horse were showing a green color, but the head was not on the neck, but hanging under the horse's neck, the knight was wielding an iron spear in his hand, and the armor on his body was full of arrows, like a hedgehog and did not know how many arrows he had received before his death.
The knight galloped towards this side, waving the spear in his hand, as if he was still repeating the scene of the battle before his death, Xiao Buli glanced at the name of the monster, 'Li Quan's Soul - Headless Captain', it turned out to be a dark blue high-level elite, this thing was the first time he had seen it, but it reminded him of the original soul of Meng Zhao, these two guys seem to be the ghosts of the Black Dragon Legion, I think the strength will not be too weak, I am afraid that there will be a hard battle to fight.
Xiao Buli once again pulled out the blade of the spirit slayer, this sword also seemed to sense the approach of a strong enemy, and let out a piercing sound, in general, Xiao Buli was not very worried, although Li Quan was a high-level elite, but with his current strength, it was no big deal to single-handedly pick up a high-level elite, besides, Li Quan was a ghost, and he had the blade of the soul slayer in his hand, which was just enough to restrain the other party.
As Li Quan got closer and closer, the villagers of Qiansong Town also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, the air seemed to have become cold, a gust of wind blew, everyone retreated in unison, and the old mayor showed a frightened look in his eyes, "The strong man is all up to you!?" ”
Xiao Buli said lightly, "Don't worry, and watch me take the life of the ghost king." ”
After finishing speaking, he made up for an all-seeing eye, and raised his sword to meet him, "Xuan Bing Slash," Xiao Buli swung his sword head-on, and a sword qi slashed over.
That Li Quan stabbed in the air with a shot, this shot can be called the perfect combination of precision and speed, and it happened to be stabbed in the middle of the sword qi, but it poked the sword qi into two sections.
But the aftermath of the sword qi still attacked him, but it cut a gap in the armor on his shoulder, and from that gap a trace of white light was revealed, like a lantern that leaked light, and Li Quan roared angrily and rushed over.
Xiao Buli didn't panic, there was only one way to deal with the target of this kind of rapid sprint-'palm thunder', the lightning exploded, and Li Quan was hit squarely, and the momentum of the charge immediately paused.
The damage is not too high, after all, ordinary spell damage can only deal half the damage to the undead, but at least it is much better than normal attack immunity.
Xiao Buli took advantage of Li Quan's pause and killed him with a blow.
Brush brush brush a dozen pieces in a row cut over, although the ghost is immune to physical attacks, and the damage to spells is less, but the relative blood volume is much less than that of biological units, which can be regarded as a long and a short, this Li Quan is only more than five hundred blood, and half of it was cut off at once, but Li Quan is not fighting, the horse escaped, the horse's hooves did not touch the ground at all, it was completely floating out, and in the blink of an eye, it slid to the side silently, Xiao Buli was unforgiving, turned on the floating light and shadow, and chased after it.
That Li Quan seemed to be able to see through Xiao Buli's stealth, the spear in his hand stabbed at him in a row, the shadow of the gun completely shrouded Xiao Buli's body up and down, Xiao Buli hurriedly dodged a chaotic doppelganger, and another sword slashed behind the horse's buttocks, the two of you come and go, one on the horse and one on the ground, one holding a lightsaber, jumping and flashing, an iron spear dancing, people and horses are one, killing is inseparable, the sound of weapons colliding is heard in the air from time to time, although those villagers can't see the specific battle process of the two, But just by listening to the sounds, you can already imagine the intensity of the battle.
As soon as the battle lasted for a long time, Xiao Buli's advantage of being able to add energy to make up for it was reflected, seeing that there were more and more wounds on Li's body, and Zhou's body was covered with scars, and the speed gradually slowed down, Xiao Buli took advantage of Li Quan's trick to use the old, and suddenly pulled onions on dry land and jumped on horseback, and cut them at close range with a series of swordsmanship with the wind, that Li Quan hit three swords in a row, and finally the white light burst out, fell off the horse, and disappeared into a cloud of flying smoke, Xiao Buli breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, it was discovered that Li Quan had left a pile of ashes-like corpses.
He wondered in his heart, could this ghost also drop equipment? It's the first time I've seen this kind of thing.,It's probably only boss-level ghosts who have this treatment.。
Clicking to pick it up, two items pop up at once.
Shattered Soul Crystal (Light Blue-Material): This is a crystal clear crystal that exudes a strange brilliance, and it is said to be a crystallization made from the condensation of the soul, and it is a very precious material.
The second item was a black rag-like thing with a faint dragon claw on it, but it was too worn out to see clearly.
Black Dragon King Banner Fragment (quest item): This black fragment appears to have been part of a royal banner and can be used to trigger a quest.
Xiao Buli was overjoyed to see this drop, big red hand, big red hand, this is really a big red hand, although it is not equipment, but it is better than ordinary equipment.
The shattered soul crystal can be pressed hard to refine the magic weapon, and the task that this Black Dragon King Banner fragment can trigger is obviously not ordinary, after hesitating, Xiao Buli still couldn't help but be curious, and directly clicked to trigger the task.
System Prompt: Trigger the quest, 'Will of the Black Dragon Legion', collect the seven pieces of the Black Dragon King's Banner together, patch it completely, accept it or not, yes/no.
The task reward is not explained, the rewards of this kind of task are very good, Xiao Buli didn't know why before, but now he knows, because there is no task to give people, that is to say, there will be no situation where the prestige value will be used to compensate for the task items, so the reward must be better than the general task.
Xiao Buli chose to accept it without saying a word, anyway, there is no time limit depending on the situation of this task.
This task has to be done slowly, as for how to find the other six fragments, Xiao Buli already has some clues, most of the remnants of those Black Dragon Legion will be there, or the undead of other Black Dragon Legion may also fall.
Killed the undead elite of the Headless Horseman, but there was no sign of ghosts around.
At this time, a system prompt popped up on Xiao Buli's screen.
System Prompt: Complete the quest 'Night is Coming' to receive a reward of 10 credits, increase your reputation as a wanderer in Thousand Pine Town by 900 points, and increase your reputation as a wanderer in Thousand Pine Town to reach respect.
The last time he helped the homeless people of Qiansong Town escape from their homeland, his reputation was already very high, and this time he directly rose to respect, of course, this is still a certain distance from his plan to rush to the prestige worship, but the coming day is long, you can rush slowly, but there is no hurry.
This time, Qiansong Town can only take out 10 silver coins as a task reward, and the next time it is estimated that even 10 silver coins will not be able to be taken out, at that time, it is estimated that the prestige reward of a time is definitely thousands, and it is not impossible to rush to worship if you come to such a task a few more times, if you really rush to worship, will all the outcasts of more than 100 people belong to themselves?
Xiao Buli thought of this, he was already a little excited, looking at this team of homeless people trembling in the night, but it was very likely that it was the beginning of his struggle to dominate the world, he couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart.
