Chapter 210: Escorting Supplies
At this time, I received a system prompt -
"Ding~!"
System Prompt: Please help Nymeria try to recover her father's corpse and put the Heroic Spirit to rest.
Then the task of helping the NPC find my father's corpse immediately appeared in my quest bar, and I couldn't figure out a conversation between guò and the NPC, and I actually got me to talk about a mission.
Although the system did not indicate the difficulty of the task, I knew that this task must not be easy, because Nemelia did not provide me with any valuable clues, so although the task was completed, I had no clue about it, so I had to put the task aside for the time being and concentrate on another task first.
In the conversation before, Nemelia mentioned the war of the Black Blood Castle many times, if nothing else, the real battle of the Black Blood Castle should not have officially started until now, and the NPC only mentioned some peripheral wars, because as an important plot of a game, it is impossible for the Black Blood Castle war system not to involve players.
What I urgently need now is to know where the Battle of Bloodkeep has come and when the real Armageddon will start, so that I can lead the guild members to make some targeted preparations in advance.
What's more, I believe that the NPCs around the Black Blood Castle must have released a lot of quests for players to discover.
I immediately opened the large map to search for the location of the Black Blood Castle, only to find that the entire western part of Lingyun City was shrouded in a thick black fog, and I couldn't see anything on the map at all except for a small area as far as I could see.
So I had to turn to the game's official website, hoping that Magnum's official website and player forums could provide me with some valuable information.
In the end, I only found such a text introduction on the official website - Black Blood Castle, an important military fortress set up by the Unholy Alliance in the west of Lingyun City, and an outpost for the Unholy Alliance to attack Lingyun City. In the era of the Yellow Continent, the Black Blood Fortress was a very important city of the Human Empire, after the orc tribe betrayed the Holy Alliance, this human city was besieged by the evil alliance army, and later the undead established the famous Black Blood Fortress on the ruins of this city.
This is where the Black Blood Civic came from.
I can confirm at least one thing in the above text, the Black Blood Castle is indeed located in the west of Lingyun City, and the specific location needs to be explored slowly.
I took out the spirit of an archaeologist, and through the Internet function configured by the guò system, I downloaded a world map of the Canghuang game on the Internet, and then took the world map of the Canghuang Continent and compared it with the world of the current Glory Continent.
Lingyun City is located in the territory of the Kelan Kingdom of the Canghuang Continent at that time, according to the map, it can be basically determined that in the west of the current Lingyun City, there were two more important cities at that time, one of which was the second-level main city in China at that time, the Broken Stone City, and the other was the mad demon city where the guild of the murderous madman was stationed later. According to the information circulating on the Internet, in the late Canghuang period, the murderous demons had built their guild territory into a tenth-level city no less than the scale of the second-level main city.
One of the Broken Stone City and the Crazy Demon City is located in the northwest of Lingyun City, and the other is located in the southwest, and the two cities are no longer in the same direction, but both may be the current Black Blood Castle.
I searched for the keyword Gravel City again, and I wanted to find some clues from the vast amount of information on the Internet, but there are thousands of materials on the Internet with Gravel City as the keyword, of course, there must be many unrelated to Gravel City. Baidu is so powerful, I have no choice, I can only look at it one by one, which is better than blindly looking for it in the past.
As a result, Lin Xiaoran scolded me severely, saying that I had no brains, Lingyun City had arranged for so many people to fight in the area of the Black Blood Castle, and the daily consumption can be imagined, the NPC must have to regularly deliver war materials over there, and if you keep an eye on the NPC's material convoy all the way, you will not be able to find the Black Blood Castle.
I patted my head, it makes sense, why didn't I think of it?
The supply carts in the city will leave every few days, and when they will leave, I believe that Namelia, as the captain of Xicheng, must know very well, and all you need to do is ask him about this matter.
So I immediately returned to the city with the quest items, and at the same time prepared to submit the quest items to the NPCs in exchange for reputation points, I also asked about the supply cart by the way.
The next moment, I submitted 500 quest items to Nymeria, the Ghost's Cloak, and got 20,000 reputation points, and at the same time received a system prompt to +10 friendship with NPCs.
"Excuse me, the war materials that the kingdom transports to the Black Blood Fortress are delivered about once every few days, and when does it leave the city each time?" When I was receiving the quest reward, I asked in passing, thinking that if I increased my friendship by 10 points, the NPC would answer me.
"You want to accept the task of transporting supplies, I heard that the quartermaster is worried about this, you can try your luck with him." Nemelia replied.
It was enough to have her words, and I immediately left the west of the city for the military camp in the southern city. During the war years, adventurers were definitely a force that the authorities needed to unite, so the soldiers guarding the gate were also very polite to me, and after careful questioning, they let me in, and enthusiastically showed me the way, so that I would not find the yamen of the quartermaster in the barracks.
The quartermaster, a thin old man wearing thick glasses under a wine bottle, greeted me warmly before I could speak: "Young adventurer, you are the adventurer introduced by Nemelia to accept the task of escorting the supply car, right?" ”
I was shocked, I just came from Namelia, I didn't expect the other party to know about this in advance, NND, is this guy still having a good ear?
"Exactly, sir." I replied respectfully.
NPC nodded: "Very good, it is precisely because of a group of hot-blooded young people like you in the empire that we have the confidence to win the war with those evil undead, I happen to have a batch of supplies here to be transported to the black cavalry camp north of the black blood castle, now please take a trip on your behalf." ”
"Ding~!"
System prompt: Do you accept the task [Escort Materials]?
As luck would have it, there was a task to take, and I immediately chose to accept it.
"Ding~!"
System Prompt: You accept the task [Escort Materials] (the current mission difficulty is 3200), the mission content, accept the request of Quartermaster White, and safely escort a batch of war materials to the Black Cavalry camp north of the Black Blood Castle, and ask to ensure that at least 80% of the materials arrive safely at the designated location, and you will receive a generous reward for completing the task. Special note: This trip may be dangerous, so it is best to find a few helpers to go with you, and the maximum number of people to share the task is 6.
Unexpectedly, this was a task that could be shared, so in order to ensure the success of the mission, I decided to go with a team of 6 people, and all 6 of them had to be elite soldiers.
So I immediately sent messages to Lin Xiaoran, Yunyun, Wanxi, Yaxin, and Pi Tangzhang respectively, asking them to come to the military camp south of the city to meet me and complete this task together.
Originally, it was supposed to be called Edgeworth Xunxiang or a broken lamp, but considering that the relationship between Yunyun and Wanxi, the two little beauties, is too good, and they are always inseparable, and it is not possible to lack a priest like Wanxi in the team, so I had to bring Yunyun with me.
When I heard that there was a task to do, several people immediately rushed over, and I built a team to pull them into the team one by one, and then shared the task with them.
Then the NPC set up the carriage and we set off, a total of ten carriages each loaded with a cart full of goods, covered with black tarpaulin, I don't know what it is, in short, the weight is not light, the cart is pulled by four healthy horses, when the car drives from the Nancheng street to the west gate, the wheels press on the bluestone street, making a creaking sound.
It can be seen that the strength of Lingyun City is indeed very tight now, our convoy, except for the driver who is responsible for driving the car, there are only six of us in charge of escorting and escorting along the way, and the quartermaster department has not assigned us even one NPC soldier to assist. In other words, if we encounter any difficulties on the road, we have to solve them all by ourselves.
The convoy had just left the Ximen Bridge when the bloodthirsty ghosts outside the city immediately surrounded us, apparently trying to rob our supply vehicles.
I couldn't help frowning, I was attacked as soon as I went out, which is definitely not a good sign, and the difficulty of the 3200-point mission is really no joke.
The speed of the ghosts was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in front of the car, and I immediately ordered Yunyun to be responsible for protecting Wanxi and Yaxin, and then quickly swung the ice dragon halberd to kill them first.
Lin Xiaoran was not ambiguous, and quickly locked onto the bloodthirsty ghost in front of him with his sword and charged.
The charioteer was very experienced, and quickly gathered the convoy together, forming a circle to encircle Wanxi, Yaxin and Yunyun in the center of the convoy, and the chauffeur and horses also hid inside, so that even if the enemy suddenly launched a sneak attack from other directions, it would not be easy to break through the defense of the chariot formation.
"Bang!" With a bang, the Green Wolf King directly knocked over a bloodthirsty ghost in front of him, but the other party belonged to a thoughtless undead and could not be stunned.
Without waiting for the hapless ghost to stand up again, I immediately raised my hand and blasted out the Ice Flame Slash, and at the same time, I immediately lit up Xiao Hei's skill "Needle Rain".
Almost as soon as I blasted the Ice Slash, an ice pick fell into the crowd of monsters in front of me, and Yahin's group attack magic began to kick in.
Then, Lin Xiaoran appeared beside me and quickly stepped out of the war trampling skill.
Before the queen bee comprehended the group attack skill, she buzzed and flew to the head of a bloodthirsty ghost with residual blood, and the stinger on her ass quickly swept out a double attack, knocking out nearly 7,000 points of qi and blood from the bloodthirsty ghost.
The next moment, the counterattack of the four or five bloodthirsty ghosts in front of me fell on me almost at the same time, brushing and brushing, leaving dozens of clear scratches on my breastplate in an instant, and four or five damage numbers were voted out on the door of my head in a row, and the qi and blood instantly dropped nearly 10,000 points.
I'm still a few hundred feet and blood away from 20,000, and now I'm half of it all at once, and I'm suddenly scared and blue, and I really can't bear it without NPC soldiers around to help disperse the monster's attacks.
