Chapter 32: The Trial Is in Progress
After Lin Lei gathered his team, he began to re-chart the route, and last night's battle made everyone feel uneasy.
Of course they were better off than those camped in the wilderness, at least they had a house to defend against, and they didn't run into skeleton cavalry.
Seeing the appearance of the team of players encountering the skeleton cavalry on the Internet made everyone shudder.
The regiment of nearly 200 people was directly killed 80% in the first contact, and the overwhelming momentum of the nearly 1,000 cavalry charging made everyone tremble.
The player can't say that he is fighting monsters, but he is being ravaged by monsters, very miserable ravage.
Of course, there are also players who protest to the game company, but they directly give the game company a word back.
Siyuan Company is only responsible for releasing games and new content and activities, and all information in the game is handed over to the game master to handle independently, and the company will not insert any event in the game without permission in order to ensure that the interests of players are not infringed upon by anyone.
In other words, even if the player fails all of them in this promotion trial, it has nothing to do with the game company.
According to the owner of the game company, in a very real world where you don't really die, you can fight with all your qiē, even if it's life, and if you die, you just go back to the starting point and do it again, what else do you have to complain about? If you have that time to complain, you might as well work harder! Of course, this qiē discussion has nothing to do with Chen Kai now, and now they want to focus on entering the city from there.
Chen Kai first felt how huge a city that once lived in 500,000 people was, and that feeling was stronger and more shocking than that of a modern city.
Even going to an international metropolis like Shanghai, which claims to have a permanent population of 10 million, never gave Chen Kai this feeling, and the first time he saw the huge but dilapidated city gate.
Everyone was stunned, what is the concept of a city gate that is nearly 50 meters high.
Chen Kai stood on the edge of the gate like an ant, of course, this is not the most important thing, because there are many buildings in modern cities that are taller than this kind of city gate.
But a modern city will never build a rolling city wall, Chen Kai didn't know how long this city wall was, but he didn't see the end of the city wall from where Chen Kai was standing.
Chen Kai saw the emblem of the royal family of the Hansting Empire and the family crest of the Adoge family on the nail of the city gate, and from this arrangement of emblems, the Adoge family should have a certain in-law connection with the imperial royal family.
However, what made Chen Kai pay more attention was the lodging semi-flash door, which looked like it had been directly broken by a huge force.
Chen Kai didn't know how much force it would take to break through the nearly 2-meter-thick wooden door, but he was sure that it was an inhuman force.
After stepping through the broken city gate, Chen Kai and his party officially stepped into the city of Yadog.
Inside the city gate, you can clearly see the bones lying on the ground, and a few beetles or other insects crawl in and out of the black eye sockets from time to time, and the people who see it are terrified.
Fortunately, they have seen a lot of such scenes along the way, and they are already a little immune.
But what if the number of bones doubled on the basis of what was seen? Chen Kai and the others faced such a scene, there were at least nearly 10,000 skeletons at the entrance and exit of the entire city gate, and most of them were civilians from the clothes on their bodies.
Chen Kai even saw a skeleton holding the corpse of a child in his arms, and the two black eyes stared at Chen Kai.
Almost everyone was close together, and even more so the girls in those teams, who kept screaming one after another, making the already terrifying environment even more terrifying.
Lin Lei had to order all the girls to cover each other's mouths, and if they couldn't cover it, let the boys help, otherwise there would be no monsters to come to them, and the screams of the girls alone would scare everyone to death.
Not more than a hundred meters away from the city gate, Chen Kai and the others saw a small hill-like slope piled up with white bones.
God knows how many corpses were piled up in it, some of the bones were incomplete, and there were traces of flames burning on them.
Although Chen Kai and his party were not too embarrassed to disturb the peace of the deceased, as gamers, they kept rummaging through some corpses, hoping to find mission-related items or useful weapons and props.
Unfortunately, all the iron was rotten, and the corpses looked as if they had been cleaned, and there were no items of value other than clothes.
Chen Kai also found that all the corpses had obvious sword stab marks on their bodies, and many bones were broken.
This shows that these civilians were all killed, and when he thought of nearly 10,000 people being killed collectively, Chen Kai felt that his heart was beaten hard.
None of the news I got was good, and almost all of the nearly 10,000 corpses were covered with slashing and stabbing marks, and this discovery made more than 500 people collectively stand on end.
According to reality, this is a massacre, a naked massacre, because none of them are soldiers, all of them are civilians.
There was a huge gloom over the entire team, they had never imagined that a game could be so cruel, every corpse was so real.
Chen Kai: They did not stop at the city gate, but quickly crossed the military zone of about 500 meters of the city gate, as the main city gate, there are no shops on both sides of the city gate.
So Chen Kai's search for the store started from the turn, and there were still many corpses on the streets, and Chen Kai finally understood why Yadog, who claimed to have 500,000 permanent residents, only 100,000 refugees escaped 20 years ago.
But what he didn't understand was why the temple and the empire didn't send troops to investigate, and chose to close it completely! Is there anything hidden in this? Lin Lei asked all the scout teams to search the shops on both sides separately, and of course Lin Lei would never let the large army stay on the road, so it would be too dangerous if there were patrolling monsters on the empty streets.
The scout party quickly found a huge building that could fully accommodate the entire group.
From the notice outside, Chen Kai knew that this was the trading center in the transmission, but from the messy environment on the ground, it was obvious that it had been looted.
Nothing of value could be found on the site, not even the safest basement.
However, several thieves did not spare every part of the basement, constantly banging on the walls with small hammers, trying to find the hidden treasure trove that had not been looted.
Or maybe it was luck, or the negligence of the looters, who really found them a small treasure trove.
Fei Yun took a small hammer and knocked on the ground for a long time, and found a very small floor tile with a hole, after peeling off the ash on the ground, the floor tile was removed, and a black bag was stacked underneath.
After Chen Kai took the bag, he handed it directly to Lin Lei, who opened the bag in front of Chen Kai and took out more than a dozen magic crystal coins from it.
This is a huge fortune, of course, if they pass this trial, otherwise no amount of money will be wasted now.
Lin Lei directly took out a few magic crystal coins from it, and according to the rules, the person who found it could get 30% of it, and the other 70% was divided equally among the others.
Last night's battle scattered players were basically wiped out, and the rest were still in the hall, naturally not scored.
Although it doesn't sound good to say this, but people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, Lin Lei naturally has to firmly grasp these magic crystals.
In the world of Etia this is a lot of money, and soon scouts searching outside keep finding some gold coins.
Under the unified distribution of the system, gold coins continue to fall into the money bags of each player, and even the remaining casual players are very excited.
"Senior! I finally understand why the system requires players who fail trials to go back and respawn, and it's so lucrative to discover a city.
If there is no punishment for failure, it is estimated that we will be able to call for wind and rain in the world of Etia with this wealth alone. ”
Chen Kai looked at the increasing numbers in the money bag in a daze, in fact, Lin Lei also felt that this was the case, in less than half an hour, everyone had obtained nearly 20 gold coins.
In other words, the scout group almost found nearly 10,000 gold coins, which is nearly 3 million fortunes according to the current market.
It's a pity that although the money has fallen into their pockets, if they want to use it, they have to talk about it after they complete the task, otherwise all the gold coins will eventually return to the arms of the system.
After Fei Yun, all the little thieves who remained in the underground treasure trove worked hard to find it, constantly tapping the ground with small hammers.
However, the results were small, and only a few gems were found in the end, but that was better than nothing.
Chen Kai and Fei Yun quickly ran through the street, and they planned to go to the weapon shop again.
Because he had learned from Bass that all arms dealers were more or less engaged in illegal arms trading, they would build a hidden place to store weapons.
Chen Kai originally wanted to ask Boss Mark if he had this habit, or where he would hide his weapons, but his relationship with Boss Mark was not good enough to tell him about these things.
Chen Kai took Fei Yun to the weapons store on the street, which was bigger than the largest weapons store in the town of Adorik, and the scale of the store could be seen from the door.
Li Yi also ran after Chen Kai, he had learned Chen Kai's luck, and as part of the team, he strongly requested to participate in this event.
As for Lin Lei, he is arranging fortifications at night, God knows what will happen to this city at night.
Lin Lei constantly commanded the powerful players to nail pieces of wood to the windows, but fortunately, there was waste everywhere outside, and there would be no shortage of rotten nails or something.
They reinforced the entire downstairs wall to the windows with wooden planks, and then kept the priest instructing the sacred place.
Chen Kai and the three of them came across a hidden dagger dragging a bag of weapons in the weapons shop, apparently the only weapons he found that could be used.
But unfortunately, they were all heavy weapons, and he couldn't even put them in his backpack, so he could only drag them out slowly.
When Li Yi saw it, he directly asked him to throw it on the ground, and then notified several powerful soldiers from the trade union to come and take it away.
Chen Kai found that although those weapons were a little rusty, they were okay as a whole, and they should be wrapped in grease.
Chen Kai followed the dagger to the place where he had found the weapon, and the game name of the dagger was Arthur Antos (Thor's dagger), a name he had chosen after throwing the dice for a long time.
As soon as they arrived at the place, Chen Kai and Fei Yun began to work, the ability of the head of the scout group was very good, and the place he found was one of the most important warehouses in the entire weapon store.
Chen Kai saw a lot of armor inside, but unfortunately he didn't know if it had been looted, all the armor was incomplete, or it was rotten and embroidered.
Chen Kai saw a giant helmet with horns that looked very complete, but unfortunately the whole helmet became two and a half after getting it in his hand.
Fei Yun first used a hammer to tap on the ground, and after knocking for a long time, he found that all the floor tiles were one sound, and there was no feeling of emptiness underneath.
After changing to a larger hammer and continuing to knock like this, in the end he could only shake his head helplessly at Chen Kai.
Chen Kai sighed, looked at the courtyard of the weapon shop and thought about it, he looked at the upper floor of the weapon shop house, and found that he seemed to have forgotten a question.
Why does the weapon shop house look so big from the outside, but the rooms inside are so small! Chen Kai led a few people to the second floor of the weapon again, and they quickly entered the boss's room.
All the books in the room had rotted with the years, and the boss had fallen to the ground, and the cut in his back shirt indicated that he had been impaled with a sword from behind.
There are two unusually thick skeletons on the side, and from the skeleton, it looks like these two people should be powerful guys in front of them.
It's a pity that one shoulder was directly divided, the other head was separated, and two loyal bodyguards died next to the boss.
Chen Kai kept knocking on the wall and the cabinet with his weapon, but even if he pushed the cabinet open, it was still a brick and stone wall, and there was no secret door as he thought.
Chen Kai had to give up the idea of looking for a secret door after seeing the wall behind the bookcase, looking at the house just looking relatively large.
After Chen Kai pushed open the bookcase, Fei Yun kept tapping on the wall with a hammer, but the sound that came showed that the wall was very thick, not the kind of hollow wall with a mechanism type.
Fei Yun, who didn't give up, squatted on the ground and knocked on the floor with the dark dagger, the wooden floor made an old creaking sound, and the only place that didn't knock after knocking on all the floors was under the huge desk.
Chen Kai decided to push the desk away at the insistence of the two thieves, and he pushed the side of the desk, but the table didn't move! Then I pushed it again, but the table still didn't move.
Chen Kai, who didn't give up, blushed, pushed it with all his strength, but still didn't move! When the others saw this, they all stood up to help, and the four of them pushed hard to the side, but the table still didn't move as if it had grown roots.
Even stupid people know that there is something wrong with this wooden table, Fei Yun crawled under the table, and kept knocking in the gap, he found a square place under the table, which made everyone extremely excited.
That represents the secret passage, the secret door.
Fei Yun searched around the table according to the practice of his mentor and professor, and in a very inconspicuous place, he found a small mechanism.
It was hidden behind a loose plank, and it was impossible to see it without removing it.
Fei Yun slowly turned the mechanism, and the square place slowly opened, and a rotten breath continued to pour out of it.
Looking at the black hole, everyone was a little stunned.
However, for the sake of the legendary treasure of the weapon dealer, Chen Kai took the lead in climbing in.
Under the light of the torches, the situation inside slowly became clear, and the remains of two children hugged each other and leaned against an older corpse.
Chen Kai estimated that they were a family, or maybe they were the children of the weapons dealer above.
Chen Kai also found that there should be a secret door in this place, but that secret door was completely sealed.
There were heavy traces of lead poured on it, and some of it even flowed to the ground, indicating that the dark room was urgently sealed.
Because there were still lead blocks and tools around the secret door that had not yet been cleaned up, Chen Kai looked around inside to make sure that there was no danger before notifying the people above to come down.
Li Yi and the others quickly rushed in, followed by Lin Lei, who had finished handling things.
He looked like he had just arrived, still panting.
There are many weapons stored in the dark room, but unfortunately the weapons on those shelves are also corroded, but the weapons in the crates are not.
Chen Kai saw a complete set of knightly heavy helmets in a box, which was very well preserved, but unfortunately it was something that could only be seen.
THE WEIGHT OF MORE THAN 100KG WAS NOT TO BE EQUIPPED BEFORE CHEN KAI LEVEL 30, CHEN KAI DISASSEMBLED THREE SETS OF ARMOR FROM THE SEVERAL SETS OF ARMOR HE FOUND AND PUT THEM INTO HIS BACKPACK, AND THE REMAINING SETS WERE TAKEN AWAY BY LIN LEI.
However, the biggest gain this time was more than a dozen sets of vests, which were not leather helmets that Chen Kai obtained from Bass, but real heavy riding armor.
The weight of this armor alone is close to 200KG, except for the Andean war horse, it is estimated that other war horses can't even wear it, and this armor is also inlaid with magic crystals, which can be said to be a kind of spell equipment for war horses.
Chen Kai has seen the introduction of this ** armor in some books, the special magic armor of the iron-blooded heavy cavalry of the Rohans Kingdom, and the inscription on the armor also has the emblem of the Rohans Kingdom, indicating that this batch of armor was smuggled from the Rohans Kingdom.
There were 20 pieces of armor neatly placed in 20 large boxes, Chen Kai took five of them, and the others were taken away by Lin Lei, but Lin Lei needed to pay a lot of money for this.
Although the team of co-discovered items has ownership, that refers to ordinary items, and high-level items need to be negotiated.
It's a pity that there is nothing but armor, and Chen Kai hopes to find better goods, but the reality is that this is probably a place where weapons dealers store armor.
Chen Kai found a diary on the corpse, a family crest, and a pendant.
On the back of the pendant is written such a name, for my dear sister Anne! Below is the name of the giver, Mary Hogham.
"Mary Hogham, how come it looks so much like the name of Boss Mark's wife!" Could it be that this is Lady Mary's sister! Chen Kai secretly thought to himself, but he quickly put away the pendant, because even if he had a task, he had to wait for him to complete the trial, otherwise it would be empty talk.
After Chen Kai returned to the station, he handed over the two sets of knight armor and horse harness to Zhao Tiezhu and Su Wan respectively, and the other two sets of horse armor Chen Kai planned to sell them to others after the trial was successful.
After all, the entire team plus Zhao Tiezhu is only three knights, even if Su Xinghe learns to ride a horse, it can still only be regarded as half, and there is one more harness! This kind of high-end goods will definitely not be bad for the market.
Chen Kai found a place to open the diary, ready to see what was recorded in the diary, but after seeing the first sentence, Chen Kai directly used the communicator to find Lin Lei and Li Yi together.
"O great Lord of the Dawn, save little Mary! There are crazy people everywhere outside, Uncle Kane was killed by them, and Aunt Maya was killed by them! Save little Mary, Lord of the Dawn, Mary doesn't want to be captured and eaten by those monsters! This is the first sentence I saw in the middle of the diary, and Chen Kai got two pieces of information from it, that is, the diary was written by a little girl named Mary, and the diary recorded what happened in Yadoge at that time.
This discovery made Chen Kai feel that he had started reading from the beginning of the diary, and of course, there were Lin Lei and them around Chen Kai.
"On February 14th, the weather was fine, and today was little Mary's birthday! Dad bought me a Bobby, it's so cute, but it's a pity that Bobby is so heavy to hold! There is also his younger brother Hans, who honestly likes to screw Poppy after seeing it, which freaks Poppy out.
Hans hates it the most! February 27 was cloudy and I didn't write a diary for a few days, Aunt Maya was so troublesome, to be honest, this doesn't work, that doesn't work.
Bobby has been sleeping hard these nights all the time, and likes to yell at the door.
Dad can't see anyone these two days, and I miss him a little! Hans said that there were dead people on the street outside, and it was really scary.
On March 2nd, it was cloudy and the sun had not been seen for several days, and the lord of the castle ordered the cancellation of this year's celebration, and as a result, little Mary had no chance to go out again.
Bobby was so noisy every night that I had shut it out.
Hum! Let him sleep with me.
March 3 was still cloudy, Bobby was gone last night, I don't know where I ran to.
It actually bit the rope and escaped, and Dad said that it was not safe in the city of Adog, and that we needed to move! I heard that Uncle Paul in the backstreet is also dead, and Hans has been lacking in energy these days, probably because Bobbi is gone, and he has nothing to bully.
On March 7, the sun had not been seen for several days, and the road out of the castle was closed by the lord of the castle.
Dad begged the lord of the castle several times but didn't get permission, so we had to go back the way we came.
Sitting in the carriage, I saw that many people had red eyes, which was very scary.
Poppy still hasn't been found, and he doesn't know where it went.
Hope it can be safe and sound! On March 9th, the sunny sun finally came out, but little Mary was not happy at all.
Last night I saw Poppy's body, which was dumped in the back of the warehouse.
But there is only one skin left, and poor Poppy doesn't know who killed it so cruelly.
Hans screamed loudly in fright when he saw Poppy's corpse, what a coward! But Mary is really sad, Poppy is so well-behaved.
On March 11th, the sun disappeared a few days after it came out, and now there are no pedestrians on the streets! Lord Lord Adogh ordered the execution of all red-eyed patients, and numerous guards were training in the streets.
Little Mary saw that everyone was carrying weapons with blood, and her eyes were redder than those of the red-eyed patients.
Today Dad drove away a man in a black robe, who wanted our family to abandon their faith in the Lord of the Dawn and convert to his church.
Little Mary doesn't know what his church is, but she's certainly not a good person! Dad said that a guy who doesn't even dare to show his true face has the qualifications to convert others to a religion.
On the 12th of March, the Earl fell ill on a cloudy day, and when his father returned from visiting, he stayed in the house with his mother and did not come out.
Little Mary heard from Aunt Maya that the Count also had pink eye, and it was really terrible! I've heard that those red-eyed patients need human blood to stay alive.
Even the pastor of the church could not cure the disease, but fortunately little Mary did not fall ill, otherwise she would have been killed by those terrible guards.
On March 18, the streets became more and more chaotic, and many red-eyed patients tried to rush out of the city, but they were all killed by the guards.
O great Lord of the Dawn, save little Mary! There are crazy people everywhere outside, Uncle Kane was killed by them, and Aunt Maya was killed by them! Save little Mary, Lord of the Dawn, Mary doesn't want to be captured and eaten by those monsters! Little Mary was now in a safe place on March 20th, and Dad hid us in this basement that night.
But he himself didn't come in, it's been two days! I miss my dad so much! Hans has been in a trance lately, and I can see that his eyes are red, really like those red-eyed patients.
But Mom said he just didn't sleep well! On March 25, little Mary was so hungry that the last piece of bread had already been eaten by little Mary.
Mom hadn't eaten for a day, and Hans had fallen asleep in his mother's arms the day before yesterday.
This guy can really sleep, he didn't wake up after sleeping for three days.
Mom said that if you fall asleep, you won't feel hungry, and little Mary should sleep too! The diary was cut off from here, and it was probably the last record of the girl named Mary.
Chen Kai closed the last page of the diary, from which they could know two pieces of information.
There was an outbreak of a plague of pink eye in Adog, and the lord of the city, Count Adog, ordered all the patients to be executed.
The fall of the entire Adogh may be related to the epidemic, and Chen Kai also noticed that the records of the black-robed people in the diary, although there were only a few strokes, showed that there was a church that continued to preach at that time.
Of course, in fact, Chen Kai is just disgusted with those people in the Etian world who like to wear black robes in his heart, and it seems that everyone who wears a black cloak is not a good person.
Andrew Hogg back then was, and so was the unlucky guy who was beaten by Chen Kai and them.
After turning it over from the beginning, Chen Kai didn't find anything new, so he put the diary in his backpack.
As a result, everyone was stunned for a moment as soon as the message arrived, "Get the quest item Mary's Diary".
All the people in the team looked at the backpack blankly, where a thin diary lay quietly, and Chen Kaibiao was even more sluggish.
Because then the diary was originally in a backpack, but there was no hint.
Is it true that you can only get quest items after you have completed them? However, Chen Kai's guess was soon confirmed, and it was really only those who had passed this diary to generate that quest item.
After Chen Kai found a few people who had not kept a diary, he put it into his backpack again, and those people also produced a diary in their backpack.
It's a pity that after obtaining this diary, other task items or task tips are still blank, and Chen Kai once again led people to find all the places where there was paper.
I didn't get any quest items until sunset, and the only thing I got was that all melee class weapons were swapped.
