And it's a two-hour deadline. In the absence of a strategy or hint, if the antidote cannot be found within two hours, then Miran's life will also end, and the mission will naturally be completely closed.
However, it is precisely because of this limited time limit of two hours that the mage has already found the clue to this task.
He tried using the antidote sold in the store, but it didn't work, so the key to completing this task was to complete the Dakenhausen Armory, which currently does not allow players to use teleportation magic, and the time limit of two hours is actually quite limited when it is counted to complete the task, in other words, if the location indicated by the mission is somewhere far away from the village, then the time limit is too short.
And if there is a place near this small village that can be related to a series of key words such as antidotes and burns, it is only the Dakenhausen Armory.
Yu Ruhan, who figured out the cause and effect, immediately asked the little boy, Miran's brother Migan'er, about Miran's poisoning, and soon learned that these unfortunate accidents, including the burns that had been healed before, actually happened when Milan's work for Viscount Dakenhausen, and even their parents and most of the villagers were forcibly recruited by the brutal knights to work in the Ordnance Department.
As a result, the speculation before the rain and cold was strengthened.
…
In order to successfully complete the mission, after instructing Migan to stay and take care of Miran, the mage immediately left the mansion and set off for the Dakenhausen Armory... In fact, the armory itself is a facility attached to the town, and both can be regarded as the domain of Viscount Dakenhausen, so not far after leaving the big house, the only barracks with a bonfire lit in the night is very conspicuous in front of the mage.
In terms of floor area, the number of NPC troops stationed here is at least more than 200, and since it is already known as an ordnance station, it must be well-equipped and equipped with light and heavy weapons. If you choose to be the front, not to mention that the rain is cold and the skills are limited now, even if you are full firepower, I am afraid it will be impossible to break through this strong barrier.
To make matters worse, there are watchtowers around the entire camp for archers to overlook, and mages currently have no stealth skills, and those who are unknown will be locked in as soon as they enter the alert range, so there is no room for sneaking in.
… So why don't you try the archer's damage and see if you can quickly get one of them to force your way in?
No, since the sentry post has been set up, it is impossible to ignore the possible existence of the secret post, not to mention that the risk of such an operation is too great, once it is exposed in advance, it may be difficult to complete the second attempt within the time limit.
Speaking of which, the reason why the mage accepted this mission was originally to find an opportunity to enter the armory station and investigate information without being alarmed. Plans such as a head-on breakthrough were simply vetoed by him from the beginning.
What he should do now is to carefully recall all the elements implied in the mission to "save Miran" and find a solution to the problem from it.
First of all, from the defense structure of the armory, neither in the mission statement, nor in the subsequent conversation between Yu Zhihan and the little boy Miganel, it seems that no news about the military defense forces of Viscount Dakenhausen has been revealed... Come to think of it, an ordinary civilian boy would not have known this information anyway.
The second is about Dakenhausen himself.
According to Migan'er, his family, including the villagers in the city, were forced to work for the nobleman, but logically speaking, even if the male villagers could be called up as knightly auxiliaries, the women and children were a complete burden to the army, and the reason why they were taken away must have been for some other reason.
The most reasonable speculation is that perhaps inside the armory, Viscount Dakenhausen, who was born in a large aristocratic family, did not act in accordance with the requirements of the military order, but relied on the mountain high emperor to copy the life of his noble lord. In this way, the work of domestic helpers, maids, cooks, etc., naturally needs to be carried out by special people. This explains why he even took the women and children with him.
"If that's the case..."
After carefully calculating the rain and cold for a moment, he searched around the perimeter of the armory, and after working for a while, he finally found a door in a remote corner outside the wall. And on the nearby sand, there are obvious traces of rutted driving.
...
Since he wanted to live a luxurious life, many materials that were different from those needed by the troops obviously had to be sent to the barracks at a special transportation port, after all, no matter how arrogant and arrogant Dakenhausen was, he would not directly put such obvious "incriminating evidence" on the surface for criticism and grasping.
Furthermore, the person in charge of the delivery and collection of these materials must also be a trusted cronie of Daken, so that he can be completely reassured.
And this is undoubtedly the clue that Yu Zhihan is looking for - unlike the main gate of the camp, which only pays attention to rules and regulations, this side gate, which originally existed outside the system because of private feelings, is the most important opportunity for intruders!
Going in the opposite direction of the rut, the mage headed away from the armory, and before he had gone far before he caught up outside a farm in the corner of the town where the traces had finally disappeared.
If you look closely, you can see that although the exterior of this farmhouse is as dilapidated as the other buildings, the faintly lit rooms can still faintly detect the joy of feasting and the aroma of wine... It is hard to imagine such a deserted and dilapidated town if it were not related to Dakenhausen, and it is inferred that this should be the transit point for the daily necessities of the Viscount.
And just as Yu Jinhan was about to get closer to find out, the sparse jungle behind him gradually sounded the sound of noisy fights - although the place of the incident was still some distance away from the farm, it could not be said that there was no possibility of exposure at all, the mage didn't know which bastards actually gave themselves extra branches at such a time, but if necessary, he didn't care about using thunder to suppress these good deeds first.
After the staff waved and the magic light flashed, three magic golems immediately appeared beside him, and Yu Yuhan, who turned around and walked towards the forest, was ready to clear the obstacles!
