Chapter Forty-Eight: The Pride of the Ranger
Autumn nights came quickly, and after confirming where they lived, everyone gathered. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Mayor Tag, just tell me what's going on, what's going on?" Seeing that everyone had arrived at the council chamber, Taylor spoke to the old mayor.
"This happened about a week ago, when my spies discovered something very strange in the Teslang Mountains."
"The ogre's gathering place has been attacked, and the ogre clan that attacked the Green Forest last year has almost been wiped out."
"Wouldn't it be nice if someone helped us clean up this scourge?" Taylor's brow furrowed, and he became more and more puzzled by the tension of the town as if it were a great enemy.
"If only that's the case, you won't believe it, it's a few trolls attacking them." Shaking his head, Tag let out a long sigh.
"Trolls? Are you sure? ”
"At the time, my spies didn't dare get too close, but those ugly green-skinned monsters would never admit it."
"Aren't the trolls already allied with ogres?" Taylor was clearly still a little unconvinced.
"Trolls have a much bigger appetite than ogres, and they can do anything to keep them from starving."
Tag understood why he was like this, there were several ogre tribes hidden in the Teslang Mountains, and the one near the Green Forest was not very powerful, but they were more intelligent. In order to make a splash in the green forest every harvest festival, they contacted the nearby trolls.
Coupled with the fact that ogres and trolls are carnivorous, torturing intelligent creatures is their greatest pleasure, unlike omnivorous creatures like kobolds and gnolls, whose attacks are purely for the sake of killing. With their great strength, these two monsters pose the greatest threat and cause the heaviest casualties during the annual harvest festival.
But now Tag says the trolls attacked the ogre? It's a joke. Shaking his head, Taylor had a smiling expression on his face: "If I'm not mistaken, the trolls are on par with the ogres, and that ogre clan also has two two-headed wizards, do you want to say that the trolls are crazy?" ”
"Lord Taylor, this is no joke, most of the rangers I sent out to scout failed to return." Tag was also helpless about Taylor's disbelief, and a sad face gradually appeared, "If you don't believe me, I can ask the survivor to take you to see it." Those monsters are not in the habit of cleaning up the battlefield, and there must be a lot of evidence left in that place. ”
"Tag, I'm a mage, I can't do the work of concealment and reconnaissance, so you're not afraid that I will cause them to never return?" Seeing Tag say this, Taylor was also a little stunned.
Although he didn't believe that ogres and trolls could fight, he didn't think Tag would make things up, and he had his own conjectures about what Tag said. But now looking at the old mayor's appearance, he seemed to be very determined, and he was a little shaken for a while.
"This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems, I am not worried about your strength, but accidents are always unguardable. If their sacrifice is a warning to you, that's enough. ”
Seeing that Tag was so serious, Taylor was silent for a while, and nodded: "It's okay, since you say so... ”
"Wait, Mentor Taylor." Among the students, a calm voice suddenly interrupted Taylor, and everyone followed the sound, only to see Ryan slowly walking out of the crowd.
"I have an idea."
Well? Taylor looked at this nondescript half-elf, and immediately understood what he meant, and quickly shook his head: "Ryan, this matter is dangerous, you can't go." ”
The establishment of the Green Forest originally caused the dissatisfaction of the Moon Elf Druid, so there was no elf participation in this mission, and the reason why Ryan was able to come was also because he had lived in a human city since he was a child, and as a ranger, he had a natural advantage in fighting in the jungle, at least the chance of survival would be greatly improved.
"Mentor Taylor, my stealth ability is only stronger than the rangers here, and since they can come back alive, so can I." Ryan's statement may seem arrogant, but it is true.
He used 100 points to increase the Ranger to level 3 and his health to 29/29. Considering Lu Zelin's location, the 9 skill points obtained from upgrading increased hiding to 23, and stealth reached 40, and his concealment ability has made a qualitative leap.
Tsai looked at Ryan carefully, Taylor was silent for a long time, and finally nodded after confirming Ryan's strength.
"Well, it's safer for you to be with them." Taking out a crystal ball, Taylor handed it to Ryan, "This is a crystal ball with a constant magic record, it can be activated with a trace of mana, remember, don't use it near an ogre." ”
"Understood." Playing with the crystal ball, Ryan nodded vigorously. The students behind him were surprised to see that Taylor actually let Ryan participate. Although Ryan's strength is good, but in terms of spell-casting ability, he is the lowest in the group, except for his half-elf identity and melee mage's fighting style can attract everyone's attention, more often, he has almost no sense of existence.
Ryan didn't pay attention to the other people's reactions, and he was relieved to see Taylor agree, and at the same time showed a wry smile. It's not his character to be in the limelight.,It's just that the urine nature of this task system is really elusive.。。。
Quest obtained: Sandpiper Clam Fight
Trolls and ogres are fighting? Opportunity? Conspiracy? Mentor Taylor decides to go to the Teslang Mountains to find out, but scouting isn't a mage's forte. As a Ranger, now is the time when you are needed, so make a decision! Be a coward for a lifetime or a hero for a second?!
MD, it's the same as a suicide mission...
As a veteran player, there's no reason to let go of experience points, so there's the scene just now.
The individual strength of ogres and trolls is stronger than Ryan's, but his brain is not flexible and his perception is weak, as long as he doesn't die, with Ryan's ability as a level 3 ranger, it is still very easy to complete this task.
With Ryan on board, Taylor decided to take advantage of the cover of night to act immediately.
The Scout Team Tag was talking about was made up of a group of rangers and wanderers around level 2 or 3, and their years of surveillance around the Green Forest had made them familiar with the area, and even if they didn't have dim vision, they still walked like a fly.
The scout team did not communicate with Ryan, and the group silently walked towards the depths of the mountain forest. Ryan followed them closely, like a ghost weaving through the woods, without making a sound.
At the beginning, the captain who took the lead also turned back to pay attention to Ryan, for fear that this eccentric young mage master would not be able to keep up with the pace, but after seeing Ryan's superb stealth skills, he was amazed and had a sense of closeness to the half-elf.
To most of Ariel, mages represent loneliness and weirdness, and some people are ingrained in the belief that mastering magical power comes at a cost, and mages are unbelieving and demonic beings who can cast spells, forcing them to wonder if all kinds of evil rumors related to them are true. Even with the help of Shining Star Castle, Sambia's evaluation of mages is not very high.
Therefore, neither the guards nor the civilians were very happy about the arrival of the mage of Castle Bright Star, and they were even more ridiculous about Ryan, a mage dressed as a ranger.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and people from all walks of life have their own pride. In the eyes of the scouting team, when it comes to reconnaissance and exploration tasks near the Green Zelin, the mages of Shining Star Castle are more of a burden, and even drag down the scouts who lead the way, let alone such a young man.
But Ryan proved to be much more reliable than he seemed.
