Chapter Eighty-Nine: Mercenary Mission
The Mercenary Guild is prominently located on the main road of Fort Glory, and above the gate hangs a small red flag with a pair of crossed swords. This emblem is derived from the legend of the god of the goddess of darkness against the sword. One sword is curved like a poisonous snake with barbs, which is called "cruel", and the other is transparent and straight like glass, called "compassion".
Cruelty and mercy are also the creeds of the Mercenary Guild. Expressing two attitudes towards enemies and friends, teaching mercenaries is not enough to kill decisively, but also to have a benevolent heart.
Push the door in. Beneath his feet was a thick, hard wooden floor, and at the entrance was a snow-white soft bear skin that had been completely peeled off from his head. It is an expensive bear skin that is taken from the body of a type called "moon bear", which can be used to purify stains like magic, and is usually laid at the door to remove dirt from the soles of people's feet.
The Moon Bear is extremely intelligent and uses frost magic. It's hard to catch, let alone peel off such a complete skin. If it is sold, it will be worth about 100,000 gold coins.
Like the bar, there is a long counter, except that the shelves are not filled with bottles. Several uniformed white elf waitresses stood there, talking to the player in front of them as they jotten something with a quill pen before handing them coins or equipment.
The large space in front of the counter is where players sit and communicate, with large round wooden tables and chairs, which are filled with people at this time. An area is carved out of the wall for posting a power of attorney or mission statement. If you want to pick it up, you just need to tear it off and give it to the waiter for registration. However, players are required to pay 50% of the value of the reward as a deposit in advance, and if it is not completed on time and in good quality, the deposit cannot be returned.
The whole house is a three-story structure, and there is a wooden staircase leading to the second and third floors at the corner next to the counter. On the second floor, there are private rooms where players can talk in secret. The third floor is where the core members of the Mercenary Guild meet, and players who are generally okay do not go up.
Lin Qing stood in front of the wall, his eyes quickly swept over the snowflake-like papers, and roughly understood the division of tasks.
The missions of the mercenary group are divided into commission missions and system missions, and each player and team can only take one mission at a time. Commissioned quests are issued by NPCs, and most of them are escorted to a certain area, which takes a long time, but the rewards are better. The system tasks are randomly and automatically released, mostly for monster killing, relatively simple, and the rewards are poor. Each mission has a difficulty level, from F to A. There are also S, SS and SSS, but it is difficult to complete, and it requires a large deposit, which is not something that current players can afford.
It's worth mentioning that the missions on the walls are sometimes repetitive, which requires players to team up with each other and take what they need.
"Lin Qing? You're Lin Qing! ”
Lin Qing was picking a task when he heard someone behind him calling him. When I turned my head, it was the previous orc warrior, sitting with the guild members, and there was a yellowed mission sticker on the table, with a gruffy dog on the side. It should have been on the wall for a long time, that's why it's so shabby.
The people sitting on the chairs all stood up and looked at Lin Qing with respectful eyes. The battle in front of Glory Fort made them deeply impressed by Lin Qing's strength, and the extremely high evaluation of the Northern Burial made Lin Qing's identity even more intriguing.
Lin Qing passed the orc warrior's application to add friends. His game is called Berserk World, Twenty-two Shield Warriors. According to his previous performance, it can be known that he still has a certain strength, and the level is basically in the middle of the player.
His guild is called Berserk, and now it has only five members, making it a guild that can't be smaller. But the atmosphere is very harmonious, and after talking, I learned that the five of them are classmates in reality. After graduating from college, we get together and play games in our spare time.
"Come, taste the wine brewed by the immortals in the clouds. He is a bartender and has a lot of fame in the circle. ”
There are no drinks to sell in the mercenary guild, and empty tables are not conducive to conversation. So he took out a glass wine bottle and a goblet with fuchsia wine in it.
"Laughing, in fact, I'm not famous, don't listen to the president's bragging." Yun Zhongxian is the thief who took back the breastplate, and he is a very introverted and shy youth. The technique is better than it seems, and it can catch the enemy's vital attacks.
When the wooden cork is unscrewed, there is a sweet smell of grapes mixed with the intoxicating aroma of alcohol, and it is a good quality wine. It stands to reason that thieves would choose alchemist as a subclass to refine poisons and fortifying potions. And Yun Zhongxian's choice of winemaker shows his love for wine.
"Quality 87, you're humble." Lin Qing said, gently swinging the wine in the wine glass.
As a game, the wine quickly comes into contact with the air, and the aromas that are hidden in the wine are more intense. Lin Qing took a deep breath and experienced the intoxicating smell that was different from reality. He has an apprentice who is a drunkard, so he will have a little wine tasting skills.
"Oh, Mr. Lin Qing also has a study of wine?" Yun Zhongxian's eyes lit up and said with a smile.
"No, just know someone who likes to collect wine." Lin Qing said.
"Great, can you introduce me!" Yun Zhongxian was excited. After the national era, winemaking technology has been stagnant, and people have become less and less using sake. Since the study of fog-type psychedelic alcohol, liquid wine has been neglected. I was lucky to find a soulmate who also liked wine.
"Haha, of course you can." Lin Qing looked at Yun Zhongxian, who looked passable, and also had his own little abacus in his heart. Yunyun is also a big boss, it's time to find a home. If a red line can be drawn, it is what Lin Qing is willing to see.
"Hmm. It's a pity that I haven't found a wine recipe that can add attributes, so what's the use of drinking in the game. ”
"Don't worry, there will be." Lin Qing took a sip, and the aroma was overflowing. "By the way, you've been tasked with something. Watching you sit in a bunch of discussions, having a hard time? ”
"It's difficult, look at it." Fighting the world, hand over the power of attorney to Lin Qing.
Lin Qing took it and took a look, it was an NPC's entrusted task. The publisher's name is Sorek, and he wants to ask someone to find the ruins of an ancient village called Sangar Village and escort him there for archaeology. The mission level is B, and it's not as simple as it seems on paper.
"We found the ruins of the village of Sanger. However, it is occupied by a group of level 30 fire goblins, and there is also a level 30 gold boss, the Gale Goblin. By the way, do you have time to help, and all the mage equipment will be yours. ”
Lin Qing's strength is obvious to all, and with the help of such a master, the task will go very smoothly.
"Fire Attribute Goblin ...... If I had known, I would have kept a few more bottles of resistance elixir. Lin Qing regretted that he didn't take a few bottles of potion. Monsters with attributes are very difficult to entangle.,It's annoying without potion assistance.。
Even so, Lin Qing agreed. B-level missions are rare, and they reward two random pieces of silver equipment, as well as a gold-level boss, and this trip will definitely not be lost.
"Great! I'm going to register! The world rushed to the check-in counter.
About half an hour later, the client Sorek arrived. He is a middle-aged white elf, with a black dress lined with pure white thin cloth, looking polite, like an old gentleman in England in the era of the country. Holding a brown cane, his movements are very dull, and his demeanor reveals a meticulous temperament.
Behind him was a delicate black carriage. The carriage looks small and can only be used by one person. The transparent crystal glass is decorated with gold ornamentation, and the body has a hollowed-out relief-like pattern. Interestingly, the driver of the car is not a human, but a cyborg that runs with magic. Goblin's latest scientific research achievement, the driving machine 1.0, can completely replace humans after setting the route, and travel tirelessly.
The horses are also unambiguous. It is a red dragon horse, with crimson dragon scales on its eye sockets and hooves, and it is a hybrid of a dragon and a horse, and it will not get tired when running thousands of miles. It was very popular among the nobility, and almost every wealthy family would have a few horses on them.
"You're the adventurers who took my mission?" Sorek lifted his round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with distrust. His voice was heavy and deep, sounding old-fashioned. "Forget it, I still believe in the credibility of the Mercenary Guild. Set your route and go, I don't want to waste time. ”
Sorek pressed the button on the robot's chest. The robot's eyes flashed, and two transparent crystalline beams of light shot out, forming a map of the Burning Plains in mid-air.
The map is set according to the pre-marked location. Sorek slowly climbed into the carriage and said, "Don't mess with monsters, you'll waste a lot of time." ”
"Got it." Although Sorek's arrogant attitude was very weak, Lin Qing still said patiently. Fortunately, he has such a good temper, if he had changed to Shadow Dance Killing, he would have been stabbed a long time ago, and the NPC would be so strong.
"Let's go." With Lin Qing's help, he is very confident in fighting the world.
