Chapter 35: The Devil in the Sewers (2nd Update)
Early in the morning, he heard someone discussing the issue of spies in the Undead Empire, and Charles glanced at a pair of noblewomen at the next table, and it was estimated that the two little ladies did not know the background of the shop where they slept last night.
"I heard that the white knight brought people in directly." The noblewoman with thick lips said with a frown.
"Huh? Didn't it mean that the white knight still had demonic horns on his three heads and six arms, so that the doorman couldn't see it? "The lady in the low-cut dress is talking casually, there is no way, the breasts are big and brainless.
Thick-liped contempt for the other party, and pointed out the other party's ignorance seriously, "I heard that the undead like to become young handsome guys, and then sneak into the girl's boudoir in the middle of the night, holding the shivering girl and sucking her blood under the moon. ”
Is that a vampire...... Charles couldn't help but complain, and then listened, but the following content made him unable to look directly.
"That's right...... I prefer pointy-eared elves, which are very cute and white. ”
"Haha, me too, I don't know if it's so tender down there...... As young and beautiful as me, the White Knight will definitely come to the door, ahahaha. ”
Well, Charles didn't want to say anything more at the thought of Uther's old thing. But what he didn't expect was that the folk customs here were so open, after all, he was a player when he used to play games, and the benefits of this custom were not his turn at all.
Now that he knew why he wanted to get the door open, it was likely that one of the six teams had accidentally revealed his identity and caused a lot of trouble.
However, according to the mage in charge of the plan, there are no teams scheduled to meet, so Charles doesn't expect to meet other teammates here.
Seeing that the waiter had put away all the plates, Charles was now going out to investigate the 'people's situation'.
He has a deeper understanding of Xentra. As a gamer, it is impossible not to know the secrets of the Xentra sewer system. With a wounded dragon lurking in the city's burrows, Charles wouldn't expect to take on an adult dragon as a pet, all he had to do was slaughter the guy. According to the setting in the moon ring, the title of Dragon Slayer can greatly increase the player's reputation gain speed, which is about 30%. If Charles can successfully take out the weak chicken in the sewers, he will be able to pull his team much faster in the future. The tiger's body shook its head and bowed, no problem.
And according to the player who found this dragon, this dragon has been in that position since the start of the game until it was killed by this player. Unfortunately, unlike the normal Dragon's Lair, the player only gains a Green Dragon Heart, which grants 30% magic damage immunity when swallowed. This kind of one-time reward is a one-time reward, and whoever touches it will take it, so the player who posted on the forum made a lot of money.
So, Charles's goal now is to find the hollow in the sewers and find a way to slaughter that guy.
The first thing he needs to do is find the Hunters' Guild in Xentra, where he takes on a demonic quest for the waterways. At that time, the player who discovered the dragon only got the hint of the underground cave at the end after the Hunter's Guild had completed a series of messy tasks. However, the post written by that guy is also all kinds of vague and vague, and it is estimated that he is also a player who died early.
But just know that the first quest is a demon in the sewers.
Under the dilapidated shed, two cats lazily stretched, a few small benches and a registration desk, this is the hunters' union...... It's a bit shabby, Charles doesn't do this kind of task very well, but he didn't expect the Hunters' Guild in Xentra to be so shabby......
"Now everyone has gone to work for places like the Southern Wizarding Council, go to the mountains to dig some materials, go to the water to catch a few fish, you can earn half a month's living expenses, who wants to eat with us." The old man sitting behind the registration desk said while picking his feet, but with the scar on his face, he probably used to be a good fighter.
"Ah, you said this on my face, I used to kill pigs, and once a pig struggled so hard that it bounced into my face. The main reason why I took over this guild is that my father died and wanted me to inherit the family business, I really don't know what that old thing thinks, there is no money to make at all......"
Charles looked at the middle-aged man chattering speechlessly, he could only deal with this current task, otherwise he was worried that he couldn't help but split the guy in front of him in half with a sword.
It's no wonder that the Hunters' Association here is so bad, and those hunters in the past probably couldn't live before they went to work for the Mage Council, as for whether they found out that people were stupid and how fast they came, Charles didn't know.
"I'm going to take on a mission." Charles spoke.
"Two silver diners, identity registration fee." The uncle picked his nostrils and pulled out a notebook from under the table.
He quickly took the silver coin from his money bag, and Charles wanted to take the pen from the other man's hand.
But the uncle slapped his right hand and pressed the pen on the table, "Two silver diners, this is the registration fee." ”
"......" held back the unhappiness in his heart, and Charles pulled out two more silver coins, this time it should be enough.
But the old man glanced at Charles's money bag meaningfully, and it seemed that he didn't finish squeezing the young man in front of him, "Three silver coins, strength appraisal fees." ”
The corners of Charles's eyes twitched, this bastard completely fell into the eyes of money and was helpless, did he really bully people as fools!
"Little brother, don't be so stingy, you see uncle, I can't even afford to drink tea, so you should help the needy." The uncle's face is extremely thick-skinned, and Charles deeply understands the reason why the Hunters' Association is about to close down, "Anyway, you are also the eldest young master of a family who has nothing to do and has nothing to do, so you don't miss this money, right?" ”
Cut, take three silver coins again, if the other party asks for money again, Charles will pick it up and beat it this time.
"Take this, Death Knight Brother," he pulled his hand and handed the Hunter's Bronze Badge to Charles along with the identity slip, and the uncle winked at Charles, "A total of seven silver coins for hush money, very cheap, don't worry, I am a man with professional ethics, and I will not expose your identity." ”
"After all, there are still undead who like to do chivalry, don't they?" Uncle patted Charles on the shoulder, then pointed to the task board under the tarpaulin, "Stick it all on there, choose the task you want to do, and tell me." ”
With that, the old man threw down the black cat that had jumped on his lap, and began to look around aimlessly, as if nothing had happened just now.
Charles didn't expect that the skills of NPCs in the game could still play a role in reality, and this unreliable old man would be able to clearly perceive his true profession...... However, as a neutral unit
The third task in the first row of the drawing board is the demon in the sewers that Charles is looking for, and after registering and confirming, you can get a parchment with relevant information written on it.
This operation was very simple, so Charles didn't bring Super Lori Sophie, and pulled out the "Favor of Holy Light" from his waist, and the white light emitted from the sword instantly dispelled the surrounding darkness.
Because the terrain is low and prone to water accumulation, Xentra spent a considerable amount of money to build the sewer system, and I heard that the Southern Wizarding Council was invited to send wizards to supervise the design and construction. Therefore, many parts of the sewers are even powered by magic, and the demons born in this darkness rely on these remnants of magic to survive.
Judging from the description, the main thing is that there are always workers in charge of maintenance in the past few months, and they see the evil ghost with red eyes in the dark shadow, and they also make a terrifying scream. Charles estimated that the yin energy in the sewers was too heavy, and the magic power was constantly wandering, which gave birth to ghosts.
In fact, the shadow strike used by Charles before was to activate the ghost hidden in the shadows, causing a short-term stun effect. But in reality, these creatures are so poor at fighting that they can't actually do any harm to humans, so they choose to play tricks when faced with a threat, rather than sneaking up and devouring workers who enter the sewers.
However, physical attacks are ineffective against such monsters, and the charr should not be able to deal with these demons. But he now has the ability to emit holy light, and although it is only once every five minutes, he has no problem controlling the killing range and attack rhythm, and has no problem dealing with these wandering imps.
The ghosts are gathered in places with abundant magic power, and the closest magic center to the charr is the exhaust equipment, and the workers will run it before the overhaul to prevent hypoxic poisoning, in fact, some parts of this world are quite modern.
Moving cautiously, Charles could clearly feel something peeking at him in the darkness. It's normal, there are so many things living in the sewers, and there's even a dragon.
Around the corner, a large turntable appeared in his field of vision, and several pairs of black eyes in the dark shadow stared at Charles, constantly making all sorts of strange screams. But Charles was not frightened by the female ghost crying in the middle of the night, and with a wave of his long sword, the light instantly swept away the black shadow, and then another charge landed at the dead end of the turntable, so the black shadow was completely forced into it.
Spirits cannot escape from the shadows, and once their bodies are exposed to darkness, they will evaporate and die. So if a wizard wants to deal with these guys, just put a few flashes and use different glowing points to create a shadowless light effect, and these imps will all die.
But with Charles' Epic Sword alone, he couldn't wipe out all the shadows, so he had to force the spirits into a small corner, and then throw a holy light spell into it, burning them all to death.
"Holy Light Technique!" The sword erupted with a dazzling golden light, and Charles lunged forward like a bomb, throwing the light into the darkness, a sharp explosion accompanied by the desperate screams of the ghost, and Charles succeeded in annihilating the demons in the area.
But there are a dozen more clearance points to follow...... Charles sighed, as long as he could get the title of Green Dragon Heart and Dragon Slayer, it would be worth it.
