Chapter 145: The Shadow of Mephis-When the Death Knell Rings (4)
Although Cheng Feng's mentor Kaiser said that he came to propose to the flower of Miffy, Chen Kai always felt that this playboy's language was a bit inconsistent with reality. The full-text and ad-free novels are all on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info of course, it may be that Chen Kai feels too sensitive, but he always feels that Kaiser looks at the Earl's Court with not only admiration, but also an indescribable complex feeling.
After seeing Chen Kai leave, Cheng Feng's mentor Kai Ze slowly left the City Lord's Mansion with Cheng Feng. Not far from the Earl's Court, Kaiser quietly looked at the castle in the twilight light, where a beautiful girl was tending to the flowers and plants in the castle garden.
He stood quietly for a long time, until the beautiful figure disappeared into the garden. Kaiser gradually left the City Lord's Mansion, and Cheng Feng also saw the faint hatred and contradiction in his mentor's eyes when he left.
Cheng Feng will definitely not tell Chen Kai what task he has received, and any player will think he is crazy after seeing his task. Because the goal of his mission is to assist his mentor in assassinating Count Miffhis, a Holy Order powerhouse who is said to be second only to Count Adolik.
As for the reason for the assassination of Count Miffhis, Cheng Feng did not know. All he knew was that his mentor would become mad when he saw the portrait of Count Miffus, and he would tear the portrait to pieces in anger, and then he would cry like a child while holding the portrait.
Cheng Feng is an orphan, his father died in a traffic accident when he was four years old, and his mother only dragged him until he was 7 years old and left him immediately. He has survived by relying on the neighbors around him and government welfare, and when he entered the game and saw this mentor who was like an elder brother and a father, Chengfeng experienced the love that he hadn't felt for more than ten years.
He likes to follow behind his mentor, who is only a few years older than him, and run to the tavern to fight together with continuous swordsmanship. So when Kaiser told him that he was going to assassinate Count Miffys, Cheng Feng agreed without even thinking about it.
After leaving the Count's Palace, Chengfeng and his mentor disappeared into the crowd, for some reason Count Miffis had not been a guest for several days, and Kaiser's attempt to get close to Count Miffis by seeing Anne through Guò failed again. Although it was rumored that Count Miffys was seriously ill, Kaiser did not believe it, because he saw Count Miffys's youngest daughter, Anne, happily playing with flowers and plants in the garden every day.
After returning to the hotel, everyone had already stayed in the hotel room, Miffus City was very large, so it was impossible for Chen Kai and them to collect all the information in a few hours. There are only a few main places to choose from, such as the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild, where most quests, even cats, dogs, and wallets, are posted.
As for the kind of stupid quest that makes you retrieve the money bag hidden in the weeds next door, Chen Kai has only heard of it in the course of half a year of the game, and the aboriginal who issued the quest is a mentally retarded child.
The Thieves' Guild is Fei Yun's target, and apparently the Thieves' Guild has been doing a good business lately. At least it can be seen from the large number of task lists he brought back, but unfortunately although there are many task lists, they are not what Chen Kai and they want next.
Half of the quest involves the thief's profession, and instead of traveling across several cities to hunt for treasure, he wants to get an item from a nobleman's mansion in Miffys. The most on the task list is the task of stealing underwear, and more than 1/3 of the task list is written to steal Mrs. so-and-so's underwear. The Flower of Miffus, the Count's youngest daughter's clothing, was the most numerous, and at least twenty tasks were made for the beautiful young lady.
Chen Kai directly threw all these task lists into the toilet, because there are too many tasks, the thieves' guild basically allows all thieves who want to take jobs at will for this kind of low-level tasks, and they don't care whether you will do it or not, as long as you hand over some task documents to make a fee. Finally, the quest items are taken to the Thieves' Guild, where they will be responsible for collecting money to complete the quest.
Comparatively speaking, the task list of the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild is much smaller, and most of them are tasks for such and such a store to collect ingredients or commercial materials. For example, Chen Kai held this task list in his hand, collected thirty giant turtle eggs from the Miluo River, and after looking up the Miffhis Bio Illustrated, Chen Kai instantly threw the task list into the trash.
The Miluo River giant tortoise is only a fourth-order beast, but the only problem is that they like to live in groups, and the smallest ones are more than three meters in size. Chen Kai didn't want to be crushed into a pulp by a group of large turtles weighing at least a ton, especially the famous cub guards of the Miluo giant tortoise.
"Boss, this task is to find Corian's whereabouts" After selecting for a long time, Wang Xuewen took out a task list, which looked like he was looking for someone. When he opened it, he lost it again, because Corian was a cat, and they didn't look like they could find a house cat running around without knowing it.
"Forget it, let's go to the trouble of Miluo horned cows" Chen Kai opened a task list, which said that he needed fresh beef for three Miluo horned cows. Miluo horned cattle are wild cattle along the Miluo River, they have an extra horn than the real bison, and a huge horn at least half a meter long is inserted in the middle of the two curved horns.
Although the Miluo horned ox is only a third-order creature, the impact power of the horns on its head is lacking, and it can penetrate steel plates up to five centimeters thick. Once it is allowed to move at high speed, almost all creatures in front of it can only dodge to the side.
While tossing aside a bunch of task lists, Chen Kai saw two volumes of task lists that were said to be necessary for everyone who took a task in the Adventurer's Guild or Mercenary Guild.
"Notice from the Lord of Miffys City: There have been some incidents of civilians going missing recently, and I hope that adventurers who know their whereabouts can provide valuable clues. Count Miffis will reward adventurers with 1,000 gold coins for providing authentic clues"
"Miffis himself is not calm," Chen Kai thought to himself after reading this task list, which made him feel the urge to leave Miffys. He thought about the purpose of Bass's trip, and the materials for the construction of the Devil's Gate that the Miller Business Association had transported on the way. Thinking of this, Chen Kai seemed to see the scene of Miffys City being overwhelmed by the overwhelming demons, and it seemed that he vaguely heard the death knell for the funeral of the deceased coming from the auditorium next to him.
Chen Kai leaned over and listened to himself, the voice was not his hallucination, but the sound of a real death knell. During the time he was fighting in North, he was too impressed by the death knell that he would remember in a few minutes. Only when a strong person above level 7 dies, the death knell will sound in the auditorium, which is respect for the dead and respect for the strong.
Compared to the original Paladin Lord Tyr? Aurora's remains returned to the bell of Adoryk, the faint sound of the death knell faint, and it only stopped after a few clicks. It shows that although the deceased was a great swordsman or a great knight-level powerhouse, his status was not very high.
The next day, when Chen Kai and the others set off to find trouble with Miluo Horned Ox, they learned the identity of the deceased from the owner of the inn, a sub-head of the local mercenary group in Miffys. A low-level great sword master, Hank with the title of Mighty Sword? Barfellowo.
Of course, Chen Kai didn't know that Hank? Who Barfiero was, only knew the identity of the deceased from the small talk of the guests in the inn early in the morning, and the appearance of his miserable dismemberment.
Miluo horned cattle like to roam the grasslands, although they are very combative, they prefer solitary habits and a withdrawn personality, so they can only be seen in herds during the breeding season. Most of the time, they roam alone in the grasslands, and they can only see three at a time, which is called a family.
Although the task said that it was horned beef, Chen Kai would not be stupid enough to kill the hornhorned beef. Because the task says that they will be paid according to the quality of the beef, if Chen Kai takes the slaughtered beef to the business, whether it is fresh or not is secondary, and the most important thing is that they don't know the value of the horn beef.
So in the end, Chen Kai felt that it was better to catch a few live horned oxen and go back to make errands, maybe only Chen Kai, who had a tall war horse like Laer, would dare to use the war horse-drawn horned ox. The horned ox has a lot of strength, big enough to play tug-of-war with two high-level war horses.
Of course, before you can get the horned ox back, you have to make it incapacitated, and this incapacitation is not to break its hooves but to cut off its horns. The three horns of the horned ox are all made of the zuò bow and arrow, especially the half-meter-long one-horn, which is the best material that any low-level archer can get.
If it weren't for the huge number of horned cattle and their tendency to move around, it is estimated that it would not be Chen Kai's turn to find trouble with horned cows, and they would have been slaughtered like the dodos in reality.
After searching the grasslands outside the city of Miffus for nearly an hour, the lone bison wildebeest killed a lot. And also found a lonely Miluo giant tortoise by the Miluo River, Chen Kai and they finally saw the appearance of the giant tortoise, which is known as the largest freshwater creature in the eastern region, the giant tortoise is at least four meters high, and the position where the head sticks out of the water is the size of a millstone.
And from the two golden horns on the giant tortoise's head, Chen Kai could know that it was not something he could afford to provoke at all, only giant tortoises above the 6th order could grow horns, and they were only silver. No matter how you look at the two golden horns, it's not just a 6th order.
Luckily, most of the tortoises have a gentle personality, and as long as they don't beat their balls, they basically won't get angry. Therefore, after recording the fierce image of the giant tortoise, Chen Kai and the others chose to leave the area far away.
After leaving the giant tortoise and staying on the river beach, Chen Kai and the others officially entered the hinterland of the Miluo River grassland, where the situation is very similar to that of the African savannah. Of course, it's the African savannah in the rainy season, not the dry season where weeds are everywhere.
As far as the eye can see, there are green meadows like carpets, and the fresh grass on these meadows is only about ten centimeters high, and it is thickly spread across the grassland. Colorful flowers dot the grass, accompanied by herds of wild horses and herbivores that graze their heads down on the grass.
Of course, there is also the ** bucktooth rabbit that screamed at the beautiful chick and pounced on Chen Kai and them, the bucktooth rabbit here obviously inherited the strong artistic atmosphere in Miffus City, at least that's what Chen Kai sees. They wear something that has a strong postmodern beast vibe, and the hat they wear has plenty of vintage or denim flavors.
Chen Kai saw a ** bucktooth rabbit with a certain beautiful cowboy hat on its head, and its mouth was biting a grass pole. If it weren't for the appearance and words that were too **, Chen Kai and they definitely didn't want to kill this handsome rabbit, in their opinion, it is estimated that it is more profitable to catch this **rabbit back to perform than to kill it.
The only thing left for Chen Kai was a cowboy hat, of course, in fact, after getting their hands on it, Chen Kai and they knew that this cowboy hat was actually a deformed fur hat.
After looking for a day on the vast grassland, Chen Kai and the others finally understood why the meat of Miluo horned cattle was so valuable. Because it was so difficult to find, they ran for nearly 100 miles on the grassland, let alone horned oxen, and they didn't even see cow hair. However, the other miscellaneous beasts killed a lot, and also beat three wild wolves who tried to sneak attack.
There were a lot of beasts in the Miluo River Grassland, and Chen Kai and the others could also see a few lord-level demonic beasts that exuded a strong aura. Of course, those lords were fighting there with their younger brothers for the sake of territory, otherwise Chen Kai and they really wouldn't dare to approach and observe.
Among the three demonic beasts fighting in groups, the largest was the two-headed wind wolf. Chen Kai felt that it was not at all smaller than the Miluo giant tortoise, especially since it was completely one-on-two pressing the two Flame Explosion Lions and beating them violently. Judging from the miserable cries of the two lions, they should be far from the end of their lives, but unfortunately after losing this battle, they lost the opportunity to compete for leadership in the grassland.
Bypassing the area where the Great War was taking place, Chen Kai and the others gradually entered the huge lake known as Fifimia by the travelers of Miffhis. The area of the lake is at least two lakes the size of Miffus City, occupying a corner of the grassland, and the beautiful scenery of the entire lake makes Chen Kai feel as if he has entered a fairyland, and the huge lake water is shining with faint golden waves under the breeze.
According to Miffys Traveler, the waves resemble the hair of the legendary beauty of Miffys. And the lake is called this name not because of this view, but because of a statue of a beautiful maiden on the shore of the lake.
Of course, these scenery and statues have nothing to do with Chen Kai, they just came here to see if there are any Miluo horned cows, and to enjoy the scenery is by the way. Because the players who arrived earlier have already posted the scenery of this place on the Internet, including the origin of Fifemia and the poignant story.
Walking slowly along the shore of the lake for some distance, Chen Kai and the others saw birds as dense as raindrops, as well as various herbivores. Including the seventh-order magical beast of Miffus Bighorn Deer, of course, Bighorn Deer is a very docile herbivorous plant.
It didn't even mind Chen Yi feeding it with the grass, but if Chen Kai and a few of their men or a few of their stallions got closer, it would push them away with its horns. Chen Kai estimated that its homosexually repulsive Cheng dù was too high.
Chen Kai They have no intention of fighting the bighorn deer, even if they do, they can't beat it. And according to the map of Miffus, the bighorn deer is a very lucky animal in Miffus, and once you meet the bighorn deer, it means that you will meet good luck.
After being driven away by the bighorn deer a few times, Chen Kai and the others gave up their plans to approach it, squatting aside and watching the beautiful white animal rub oil on Chen Yi and the others with jealousy.
After replenishing some water, they left the fawned stag and continued their search along the lake, eventually finding some Miluo horned cattle on the other side of the lake. Chen Kai and the first horned cow they found felt that luck had come.
For the horned ox had apparently just fought, and was covered in wounds from the bite of the beast. This injured horned cow directly cheapened Chen Kai and them, at least from now on.
"Wait" Just as Fei Yun was about to swing the rope to the horns of the horned ox, Chen Kai suddenly stopped him. It wasn't that he didn't want to catch the horned ox, but that he felt a strange aura that should be above their heads.
"Lie down, hurry down" Su Wan's eyes suddenly turned golden involuntarily, and she focused on the sky in front of her. The situation in the distant sky suddenly turned black and red in her eyes, and everyone immediately fell to the ground at her exclamation, using the tall grass around them to cover their bodies.
Everyone looked up at the distant sky, where a blood-red cloud was forming, and the wounded horned ox, the target of their trip, seemed to have seen something terrible, and ran away like crazy. It's a pity that it forgot that it was injured by Yan zhòng, and as a result, it ran less than a few steps before falling to the ground.
Chen Kai was no longer thinking about his mission, and he suddenly found that the bighorn deer was not a lucky star but a mildew star. The blood-red clouds turned into a huge circle, spinning violently in the air. No matter from which point of view, Chen Kai felt that the huge magic circle was not something that the player could master, or that the player's mentor could master, and it was definitely a high-level spell with a level of 9 or above.
After the circle in the sky slowly stopped, a huge pitch-black gap suddenly tore open from the center of the circle. Chen Kai saw a huge eye more than ten meters long appear in that gap, and the golden eyeballs glanced to the side.
Chen Kai and the others shrunk their heads tightly into the grass like turtles, they didn't know if it was useful. Because when the huge eyeball swept over, they felt that the hairs on their bodies were trembling, and their bodies were involuntarily tense.
"Huh~~" Feeling the gaze of the huge eyeballs leaving them, Chen Kai breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately thought of something to leave and jumped up from the ground, dragging his sister Chen Yifei to run away from the original position. The others followed him towards the lake, where there were several huge rocks and a crevice.
"Boom" When Chen Kai and the others just ran to the edge of the rock, they felt a huge red light flash behind them, and then their bodies flew up involuntarily and hit the rocks. Chen Kai clearly heard the sound of his bones shattering, and the sound of other people's fractures.
The entire northeastern shore of Lake Fephimia was ploughed aside by red fireballs, and the area of nearly five kilometers turned into a scorched earth in that instant. When Chen Kai got up from the ground, he saw a charred black earth and the charred corpses of various creatures. When he saw the corpses of dead animals all over the ground, Chen Kai seemed to hear the faint death knell of yesterday again, and his only idea now was what the biggest death knell of Miffeus would look like.
