Chapter 25 Underground Water Channel Opening Strategy-6
Quickly calmed down, He Xi began to think. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info option one is undoubtedly relatively safe, in the case of Licia's strength is unknown (but at least stronger than Aalcus), and there is no well-thought-out corresponding plan, it is not wise to rush to pursue. Option 2 adheres to the principle that the greater the risk, the greater the return, although Lycia's strength is unknown, but she is obviously seriously injured, at this time, she takes advantage of the victory to pursue, gives her a fatal blow, and is absolutely capable of turning the tide, and has since reached the pinnacle of life.
So, how to choose.
If he follows the experience of playing games in the past and in the past, he will choose two without thinking, risk? Play a game, what are the risks you talk to me about? The task is done, I earn blood, and if the task is not completed, I will start again until it is completed, right?
He Xi chose option one.
Twilight Legend This game has a very serious death penalty, which can be said to be a real risk, once you chase rashly, one is not careful, and is killed by Licia with a deep breath, not to mention the task again, and the half-level experience will be wasted. Moreover, He Xi was very skeptical that he could kill Lycia, after all, he couldn't even handle the mutant outcast, and her performance just now was also a boss-level mutant monster, right?
And the most important point is that He Xi's mentality has changed. The RolePlay (RP) server, that is, the role-playing server, He Xi had only heard of it before, but he had never experienced it firsthand. In a small number of online games, there is such an RP server, which is characterized by the fact that the player in the server must play the role of a character who really lives in the game, saying what the character should say, doing what the character should do, and showing all the qualities and character that such a character should show.
In the past, in the process of the game, he was always in God's perspective. He is more concerned about the shaping of the details of the game and the hearty battles, for the fate of the NPCs in the game, the fate of the entire game world, he thinks that all this should be for the player, dead is dead, live is alive, and after two versions of death, maybe he will live, who cares so much, what is the point of caring?
But in the past few days, the game journey of the legend of dusk has given He Xi a new touch. The Legend of Twilight emphasizes rationality, and He Xi feels that when the system assigns tasks, it hopes that players will get tasks with the mentality of "Oh, he needs my help, I want to help him", rather than the traditional "Oh, he equips XX, this task is good, I'll pick it up". As you can see from the custom dialogue options, hidden quests, and high payouts, Tales of Twilight encourages and supports players to enjoy the game from a role-playing perspective rather than a god's perspective.
In front of He Xi, there was Yalekuth, who was in a deep coma and didn't know the extent of his injuries, and he gambled on the honor of knighthood with his own strength, and accompanied him to the homeless village to track down potential threats, based on He Xi's words alone. It's a kind of trust, and the two of them should be friends, right? If your friend's life and death are uncertain, what choice should you make?
He tried to substitute himself into the world of the Legend of Twilight, facing the world as a new swordsman who broke the evil spirit. So, following his heart, He Xi chose option one.
The scene switches, and He Xi finds himself in an unfamiliar hospital. Not far away, Arekuth, wrapped in white gauze like a rice dumpling, lay frail on his hospital bed, which was surrounded by a closed tent, outside which two knights guarded him.
"Please stop, you have no right to keep approaching..."One of the knights saw He Xi coming and stepped forward to stop him.
"Wait, Luca, I seem to recognize him... This gentleman, are you just a little good at breaking evil spirits? Another knight stopped his companion's movements.
He Xi nodded.
"It turned out to be you, thank you for carrying Yalegus back to the ground from the tunnel! My name is Luku and he is my brother. We were all good friends of Yalekuth, and when we heard that he was injured, we volunteered to come and protect him! Luku said to He Xi with a smile.
"How's Alekus doing?"
"Thanks to you, he was seriously injured by the female demon named Lycia, and the wound was infected with mold, but fortunately he was quickly transferred to the nursing college, and finally avoided the further spread of the infection. During this time, Yalekuth woke up once and told the commander of the regiment what had happened after you both went down, and the commander of the regiment attached great importance to it and was gathering people to investigate the matter. Oh, by the way, you carried Arekuth on your back and fainted from exhaustion, and the commander said please wake up and go find him! ”

Accept!
He Xi looked at Alekuth who was unconscious on the hospital bed again, and turned to leave for the Knights of Prontera.
Upon arriving at the Order, he was warmly received by the staff and guided to the Commander's office on the fifth floor. As soon as he entered the door, He Xi saw a familiar figure, it was Pan De. Pan De was shrugging his shoulders at the moment, standing beside a middle-aged man with low eyebrows, the middle-aged man was tall, he had sword-like eyebrows, and an angular and cold face, exuding a powerful and majestic aura. He noticed He Xi's visit and beckoned He Xi to step forward.
"Hello, young man, my name is Hai Luman? General? Epess, head of the Knights of Prontera. The middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile, and Pan De next to him buried his head deeper, as if he didn't want He Xi to see his face.
"Pande, you go down first, immediately assign the task I just assigned, and if there are not enough people, you will solicit them from the Swordsman Guild."
"Yes, Captain." Pan De raised his head and saluted Hai Luman, and then quickly left the regimental commander's office sideways.
"You should have seen Pande before, right?" After Pande left, Hai Luman asked He Xidao.
"Yes, I first reported to him about the movement of the homeless village."
"So, are you disappointed in him now, or, in the Order?"
"......" He Xi didn't expect him to ask like this.
Hai Luman walked straight to the window, stared out the window at the city of Prontera with his striking eyes, and was silent for a long time. It's early evening, and the citizens of Prontera are relieved of the heavy burden of a busy day and embark on a relaxed and pleasant nightlife, with the business district lit up with warblers and dancers.
"I grew up in Prontera and I know better than anyone what kind of city it is." Hai Luman said slowly, "The central city, the fallen city, the dirty capital of money and power, etc., I have heard all kinds of adjectives, and I do not deny it. ”
"Do you know why Yalekuth went with you to the homeless village to find out?" Hai Luman suddenly asked He Xi.
"He said that because many of the homeless people in the village are from the Myorani region, and he is the representative of the knights of Myorani."
"Yes, that's right. My dear Yalekuth, who is usually a little guy who does not seek progress and just wants to mix up with qualifications, can stand up at a critical moment to defend the honor and safety of his hometown. He guarded his oath, and I, who am also a knight, am proud of him. And like him, I am willing to sacrifice everything I have to defend my hometown, even if it is a decision against my will. ”
"Therefore, Pande will not be removed from office because of this matter, and the Knights will benefit from it. Of course, I will give him a little necessary punishment in due course, but not now. I hope you understand, I hope you are not disappointed in the Knights. ”
"I understand, Captain Hailuman."
"Hmm." Hai Luman nodded. "I have sent someone to investigate the situation of the homeless village, and so far, a total of five homeless people have mutated, one woman and four men, all living in the wooden house where you and Yalekuth found the underground tunnel. The five men were confirmed to be from the Miaoleni Mountains, and according to the residents of the village, the woman named Licia did often come to meet them in the village, but they all called her Liya. We haven't found her whereabouts yet, we searched for her private house in the northwest city, and found nothing except a large amount of alchemy equipment. The alchemist is trying to recover some of the raw materials from the device, figuring out what she's made. ”
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"The five homeless people have shown great aggression and inducement after being infected with the mold, and I suspect that Lycia, or Liya, may have a motive in creating them. The hut where her accomplices lived had hidden underground tunnels, and I sent someone to investigate them, it was a slum in Prontera a long time ago, well, about a hundred years ago, and then forcibly relocated because of the construction of underground waterways nearby. We don't yet know why they dug up this dark passage, but my gut tells me that it's definitely not a good thing. ”
Underground waterways! Finally, I heard this long-awaited word from the mouth of the NPC!
"Perhaps, the underground sewers are their real purpose? The underground tunnel is close to the underground waterway, will they want to do something to the underground waterway? He Xi was in high spirits, and forced a wave of conspiracy theories based on the principle of connecting without contact.
Hai Luman frowned, and began to pace back and forth in the office, and after half a minute, he made a decision.
"There is little merit in destroying evil spirits, what you said is very reasonable, the underground waterways are the lifeblood of the city of Prontera, and if they try to pollute the underground waterways, the whole city will be in a major crisis. Do I have a special task that I can entrust to you? ”
"I'm here for you, Captain!" He Xi smiled.
