Chapter 20: Melissa the Barbarian
In a safe corner, Zhang Yang tore open the town teleportation scroll and opened an oval blue portal to Rogue's camp, the town teleportation scroll is the greatest invention of the Heradim Alchemy Society after the Hradic Block, which can be bound to the teleportation array in the town, and can be used to open a portal back to the town teleportation circle through the magic energy in the scroll whenever and wherever it is.
Portals exist for three seconds, are accessible to humans only, and disappear immediately after teleportation, with only one person per portal.
Through the portal, it was as if he had entered a curtain of water, and the moment the light and shadow flashed in front of him, people also came to the teleportation array of Rogge's camp, not far away was the Demon Sealing Tower and the Awakening Circle, where there were already people awakened, but there was no longer the lively scene of the crowds in the past.
Zhang Yang was a little embarrassed, and at this moment, a figure in the teleportation array walked out, and his petite and delicate posture and delicate facial features surprised him.
Melissa!
I saw Melissa wearing a heavy leather armor, shining with a dark golden light, a large axe in her hand, an axe the size of a basin, a crescent-like axe blade shining with a sharp cold light, a barbarian-exclusive jawbone cap on her head, and four fangs clamped her delicate little face, revealing fierceness and murderous aura.
"Are you really a barbarian?" When she left that day, Melissa and Mabel's quarrel was still vivid, and Zhang Yang could see that Mabel would never be able to reverse Melissa's thoughts, who told him to have no status in the family.
"Publicity? Hum! Melissa was slightly stunned when she saw Zhang Yang, and then slightly angry, she ignored Zhang Yang and left coldly, leaving a Xiao Su back.
What makes such a lively teenage girl so cold?
Damn hell!
Zhang Yang still remembers the strange expression on Melissa's face that day, like an elf, but now she looks like an avenger full of anger.
Could it be that something happened to Mabel? Zhang Yang hid his doubts in his heart, and after a period of consideration, he headed for the Barbarian Union.
After a few days, the Rogge camp has returned to its former order, but there is no longer a lively scene, countless mortals have died in the dark, creating the desertion of Rogge today, but the silence and hardness on the faces of everyone who meets on the road make Zhang Yang feel a power that is accumulating, that is, the determination to fight evil.
The Barbarian Guild was also much broken, the rough stone walls were littered with smoky marks and cracks, and the double-axe banners that fluttered in the air had their hems burned.
Zhang Yang walked into the union, there was no hero in the hall, only a few staff members, sitting behind the stone table, quickly sorting out the information.
"Hey, Quark!" Zhang Yang walked over.
Quark raised his head, put down the information in his hand, and greeted, "Hi, Zhang Yang." Can I help you? β
"I'll take a look, what's the task." Zhang Yang said, there are no monsters that can be challenged in the Blood Wasteland, if it is purely for upgrading, he can always challenge in the Blood Wasteland, and now there are monsters everywhere, and there is no problem in upgrading to level 6, but more importantly, it is more important to challenge and stimulate the body of the barbarian king. He prepares to head to the Icy Plains. Before leaving, take on some suitable tasks and learn about the skills, which will be more helpful to improve your strength.
"Well, it's all over there, you can go and have a look." Quark pointed to a bulletin board on the left side of the hall, an old wooden board with parchment nailed to it and covered in words.
Zhang Yang walked over, and there were more than a dozen pieces of parchment nailed to the bulletin board, and he looked at them one by one from left to right.
Collect the Demon of Destruction Weapon, 10 gold/piece.
Collect zombie skulls, 5g/piece.
Collect the Giant Beast Palm, 15 gold/piece.
Collect bristled mouse eyeballs, 8 gold/piece.
β¦β¦
Yishui's task of collecting monster parts,Zhang Yang frowned,This task is worthless,After the monster dies,Hell energy is lost,Part of it is absorbed by the hero as experience points,Part of it is condensed into equipment with a small chance,Part of it is kept in the corpse,Quickly disperse with time,Finally, disappear with the corpse,Human beings have developed an energy fixation device that can prevent the energy of the monster corpse from emanating,So as to collect monster parts for researchγ
The weaknesses of many monsters and the new inventions of human beings are related to this part of the research, blacksmiths need monster weapons to study the hell weapon forging system, alchemists need monster parts to study the mechanism of some of these functions, and jewelers study whether monster parts can be turned into jewelry and act on humans...... There are all sorts of bizarre studies.
This kind of task spans a lot, from low to high, there are heroes who can take it, the reward for completing the task is generally gold coins, and the parts of the monster can be stacked in the same kind of energy fixture, and it does not occupy much storage space, and the benefits will be maximized after cultivation, why not!
But Zhang Yang didn't like these tasks, he walked back and asked, "Quark, don't you have any other tasks?" β
Quark raised his head in surprise and replied, "These tasks are enough for you to do before level six, you?" He paused, and suddenly said, "How many levels are you?" β
Zhang Yang measured his strength and the time he had gone out to cultivate, and said a conservative number, "Level 4." β
"Oh! No wonder! Quark nodded, it's easy to level up heroes in the early stage, and now it's time for monsters to explode, it's understandable to upgrade to level 4, and you can break into the evil cave.
Limited by the order of the world, no one can observe the attributes and levels of others, and can only judge what level of equipment this is through the appearance of other people's equipment, so as to have a vague judgment on the level of heroes.
"You go over there and have a look." Quark stretched out his hand to the right, and in the center of a pile of stone tables, there was a particularly large stone table with several pieces of parchment on it.
Zhang Yang walked in and saw that the difficulty and rewards of the task had indeed increased.
Collect the Staff of the Fallen Wizard, 40 gold/handle.
Collect the palms of the Giant Beast Bosses, 45 gold/piece.
β¦β¦
Collect the corpse's burning head, 150 gold/piece.
He still shook his head, these tasks have good rewards, but when he left the camp before, the Barbarian Guild was still rebuilding, and it was not appropriate to take these tasks at this time.
"Quark, is there anything more difficult?"
"Wouldn't it? How many levels are you! Quark's eyes widened, and the surrounding staff also looked at it in surprise, each of them had their own affairs, countless barbarian heroes died, and aftermath matters had to be dealt with, new heroes awakened, materials had to be archived, the union had to be rebuilt, and the old materials had to be sorted out, all of them were busy, but Quark's voice was too loud, and it was the head of these staff.
Zhang Yang shook his shoulders and didn't answer, the strength and equipment attributes of heroes are all **, and they don't want to say it, and others are not easy to ask.
"Okay!" Quark nodded, stepped out of his desk, and said, "Follow me." β
Quark led Zhang Yang through the curtain in the middle of the hall, inside were rooms, most of them were dark, only a few were lit up, Zhang Yang passed by, and he could see that there were people in every lit room.
"Well, this is the Heavy Attack Skill Inheritance Room. This is the Domination Longsword Inheritance Room, this is the Domination Axe......" He walked forward as he introduced the lighted rooms, and finally, they stopped, "Here it is, this is the second-order mission area. "Because before the hero level 30, every 6 levels can inherit more powerful new skills in the bloodline, and the strength is greatly improved, so in the mortal world, people divide heroes into five orders, 1-5 levels are the first order, 6-11 levels are the second order, 12-17 levels are the third order, 18-23 levels are the fourth order, 24-29 levels are the fifth order, and 30 levels and above 30 are the sixth order.
It is a spacious room with rows of wooden shelves and dozens of wooden cabinets in each row.
"Here are the records of the second-order tasks over the years, these rows are completion records, these rows are unfinished task records, this row, is the task scroll that is currently being released, the tasks of the past year are all here, some time ago there was a big change, many task publishers were killed, so there are not many tasks now, however, you can still take a look, there are a few tasks that are good."
There are scrolls on the wooden cabinet, and when you open it, inside is the content of the mission.
"This quest has been released for a long time, it is led by Kasha, and the reward is the follower of a Rogge mercenary, almost all heroes will complete this task, after all, Rogge is a recognized master of bows and arrows, you see." Quark handed over a scroll.
Zhang Yang opened it and saw that the title was four big characters, killing the blood bird.
Kill the Blood Bird in the Bones and rest her soul in peace with the reward: Choose any Rog Mercenary Follower.
The Blood Bird is an Amazonian hero buried in the land of bones, powerful, once famous for resisting Diablo, but the dead and alive corpses were desecrated, resurrected by Diablo, and pulled to hell, transformed into an immortal archer, more powerful, but completely dehumanized, just an immortal undead.
Rog mercenaries are between heroes and mortals, but they have failed to awaken a few times, they voluntarily gave up the opportunity to awaken, and through mysterious rituals, they are transformed into mercenaries, they can learn ice arrows, rockets, and inner vision, but they can't inherit other skills, they can equip bows and arrows, armor, helmets, but they can't equip other items, their storage slots can only store arrows, they are similar to half-heroes.
In view of the embarrassment of the difficulty in improving the strength of the Rogge mercenaries, Kasha specially issued a mission, as long as the heroes who complete the task of killing the blood bird, they can hire the Rogge mercenaries as followers. And the heroes are also willing to hire a lifelong mercenary for free through this mission, you must know that the price of mercenaries is not cheap!
But Zhang Yang didn't plan to complete this task, the blood bird he would definitely challenge, but the Rog mercenary was not necessary, he put down the scroll, turned to open other tasks, and selected them one by one, and soon, three task scrolls were placed in front of Quark.
