Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Enemy's Tracks at Night
The overly boring journey made several people feel even more sleepy, Wei Chuangchuang chatted for a while, and no one paid attention to him, and even went offline directly, asking the melon seller to call him directly if he had something to do. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Chen Mo has been browsing the forums, but he is not particularly bored, mainly looking up some information about their destination: Oslod.
Oslod, the largest main city in the north, was founded in 312 BC. It used to be named Oslo and Oslo. In the 13th year of the Spiritual Service, the name was officially changed to Oslod. It took hundreds of years of expansion by human craftsmen to reach its current size. The unique geographical environment has created a natural harbor that does not freeze all year round, and has become the most dazzling pearl in the north for more than 100 years. At the same time, it is also the economic, political, and military center of mankind. Oslo was home to German merchants and served as the capital of the kingdom of mankind and the core of the Holy See. More than half of the kingdom's troops are stationed in the surrounding area all year round.
To be honest, just such a prosperous main city, even if there is a mysterious threat, Chen Mo can't think of how he needs a few of their adventurers to join in the fun, but a game is a game, they always have to upgrade, don't they. Maybe those noble lords in the city have been pampered for a long time, and maybe those soldiers are also young masters.
Chen Mo was thinking nonsense while looking at the information, it seemed that only Chen Mo, who was immersed in it, felt that time passed quickly. The sky has been getting dark, except for Chen Mo, several people in the car have long been bored, sitting in the car for most of the day, I don't know how far I have run, the carriage in the game is not slow, according to Chen Mo's estimation that it can run more than ten yards in a second, Chen Mo is now agile as high as 8 points, counting the 10% movement speed bonus, running at full speed, not as fast as this carriage. According to the time in the game, this day is at least a few hundred kilometers, such a long distance, I am afraid it is not easy to walk, even if this is in the game.
The convoy stopped at a place near a water source, and looked like this, it was not possible to make it to Oslod today, and it was camped here tonight. Chen Mo asked the melon seller to call the bald head online, and he casually checked the surrounding environment.
There is a small stream not far away, on the other side of the creek is a forest, there are no shrubs nearby, and the view is wide, it is indeed a good place to stay.
Vandert and his lieutenant have already begun to assign tasks to players who have accepted the escort mission, and 4 groups of people will take turns keeping vigil. The time in the game is only half of the normal time, and each group only needs to keep vigil for 1 hour. But in fact, everyone is looking forward to something happening at night, because players actually sleep in the game or not, and lying down is boring, so it is better to have some strange fights.
It seems that only Chen Mo and the group of players who sold melons and paid the fare don't think so. There are 10 NPC guards, and the level of the guards is all level 10, and the appearance of the guards is also considered to be good combat effectiveness. And the caravan captain and deputy are all level 10 elites, although they are dressed as merchants, but looking at those occasional scars, you can know that they are also a little skilled. Such a team also claims that the escort force is insufficient. I'm afraid that robbers who dare to rob on this official road are not easy to match.
The camp was set up quickly, and there was no need for the player's help, and the NPCs were all veterans.
They lit a bonfire and began to eat.
As soon as he went online, Wei Chuangchuang complained bitterly, because he didn't expect the distance to be so far, and the feeling of hunger in the game was so strong. AT THIS TIME, EVERYONE RECEIVED THE "HUNGER" DEBUFF, AND ALL STATS WERE REDUCED BY 30%. Fortunately, Chen Mo was prepared, took out the wild boar ham he bought before, and gnawed it. And selling melons is also simple, and he directly used magic techniques to make some magic cookies and chewed them. This magic doesn't taste good and doesn't feel full when eaten, but it does remove the negative effects of hunger.
Wei Chuangchuang's bald head was obviously unwilling to gnaw on biscuits, and at this time he had already pestered Chen Mo to share some meat with him. Chen Mo looked at the chattering bald head and suddenly had some bad thoughts. took out a lot of tarantula meat from the bag and threw it directly to Wei Chuangchuang for him to take and roast.
Although Wei Chuangchuang, who was roasting the meat, was a little worried about why Chen Mo didn't order him ready-made, but after the fire, the aroma of the tarantula meat immediately wafted away, the meat was fresh and tender, and it didn't take long for it to be cooked. This bald head didn't care about being hot, so he just stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered vigorously, delicious, delicious.
Chen Mo saw that the time was almost up, so he said to tell you a story, and when everyone saw that Chen Mo, who didn't talk much along the way, wanted to tell a story, everyone couldn't help but be a little curious.
Everyone is familiar with the content of the story, which is the previous mission in Sabbatical Town. However, many players did not receive the hidden mission, the task is a few rings, and the details inside are not very clear, only know that a few witchers killed and stitched up the female corpse.
When Chen Mo talked about the production materials for stitching the female corpse, everyone understood the point of Chen Mo's story, which is here. Everyone looked at the bald head whose mouth stopped chewing instantly, and his face was sluggish. After two or three seconds, the bald head seemed to have reacted, and he hurriedly spit out the remaining meat in his mouth, retching vigorously.
It made everyone laugh, and even the NPCs looked over here. After discovering the tarantula meat on Chen Mo's side, Vandert was obviously a little moved and wanted to buy some from Chen Mo. These items were not produced in the vicinity of Oslod, but due to their rarity and the fact that they were delicious when cooked, they were highly sought after by the aristocracy of Oslod.
Chen Mo didn't have any intention of selling, and the price of this caravan captain was really not high, so this sale could only be abandoned.
The NPCs began to gradually enter the tent to rest, and the arranged night watchmen also began to stand guard, and Chen Mo and their car were arranged in the third group, that is, in the second half of the night. There was nothing to do, so Chen Mo asked Wei Chuangchuang to go around with the melon sellers.
It doesn't matter if you turn around, you really found something unusual, a little far away from the camp, you found some messy footprints, obviously not in your own team, it is estimated that someone is eyeing the caravan, looking at the number of footprints, there are probably only one or two people, it is estimated that they are scouts who came to investigate.
Chen Mo and the others immediately returned to the camp and notified the group of people who were keeping vigil, but the other party obviously didn't care, and was even a little too bored, and hoped that there would be more bandits who came to rob the goods. Chen Mo looked at the disdainful looks of several people, and he really couldn't figure out how the other party got the opportunity to come to the main city in advance.
In fact, it's no wonder that Chen Mo can't figure it out, collecting clues to hide the follow-up tasks does require extraordinary insight and patience, but it is not necessarily necessary to arrange who to participate. Especially in large guilds and large teams, the discoverer of the task may not have the opportunity to participate, and it is often some high-level officials who do the task to get rewards in the end.
Chen Mo didn't have much to do, so he could only wake up the melon seller and Wei Chuangchuang, and the three of them didn't enter the tent, and directly found a fire close to the NPC tent to sit together. I'm afraid these arrogant players can't count on it, if the bandits are too strong, they still have to rely on these NPCs, get closer, and it's convenient to take care of each other.
