Chapter 30: The Civil Strife in Siri
[The focus of the game is not how to play to be happy, but how to play to make sense, not only to relax yourself but also to increase the "posture" is better]
After opening his eyes, Su Xin got up from the bed and began to stretch his arms and kick his legs, saying that after sleeping for so long, he didn't feel any discomfort at all, and the game was really unscientific.
Check the log, it's been three days since the last time I went offline, and during this time, Mr. Camerlin, the captain of the guard army, has visited three times, and because Su Xin has not been online, he was told by the NPC servant waiting outside the door that "Lord Knight is resting" and couldn't meet.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door, followed by an NPC synthesized voice: "Lord Knight, Mr. Camerin has come to visit you." ”
"Ask him to come in."
"Squeak." The door was pulled open, and Camelin, dressed in armor, walked in quickly with a helmet between his arms.
"Respected Knight Su Xin, the flames of war are about to ignite again, and please prepare for the battle as soon as possible." After Camerin said this, he hurried away again.
"Ding. In the follow-up event of the mission to send the message, the Sili area will revolt again in 3 hours, and the castle will be attacked by the rebels for two days and two nights, with a success rate of 70%. The system paused, and continued: "Since the player is in a neutral position for the time being, you can now choose a side to support." ”
Su Xin thought about it and chose "Guarding the Castle".
"Please go to the battle line location in time to support to avoid unnecessary trouble." The system's synthesized sound is temporarily closed.
Su Xin did not take advantage of the situation to choose "support the rebel army" because of consideration, if the current situation is considered according to the way of thinking of "the strong is the victor", then Su Xin's gains outweigh the losses. Not to mention that the current king of Islit is still the elder brother of Count Hader, and with Su Xin's current status as a "knight of the king's own knight", Su Xin has every reason to protect the territory of the ruler's side. And if you go to support the rebel army in this capacity, you are likely to be directly arrested and interrogated, or even killed as a spy.
Su Xin looked at the newly derived [Quell the Rebellion] quest requirements and began to contact Chang Jie.
"Hey cousin, what's going on?" Chang Jie's side was mixed with the roars of large animals such as dinosaurs, and some people were shouting noisily, it seemed that they were killing some boss monster.
"I took a mission, I need to help the NPC forces defend the city, but it's a bit difficult, so I want you to find some people." By the way, Su Xin sent the content of the task in the form of a letter.
"I'll be there in two hours when I'm looking for someone." After that, the communication was turned off by Chang Jie.
Su Xin also put away the system token, picked up the ornament-like knight's sword and went out.
When Chang Jie rushed over from all over with a large number of people, Su Xin had been waiting at the gate of the castle for a long time.
"Cousin, we're here." Chang Jie greeted Su Xin with his "flying fat" ID, and Su Xin canceled the ID hiding mode under the surprised eyes of everyone.
"There is still half an hour left before the rebel uprising, so let's start signing up." Su Xinton said: "There is a certain risk in this mission, and the chance of failure is very high, you can choose to watch it from the sidelines or participate, but I am not responsible for the failure punishment." ”
At this time, many people shifted their attention to Chang Jie, and they were a little deceived.
"Fat second brother, this is not what you said at the beginning." Someone in the middle of the crowd stepped forward to speak.
Chang Jielisuo took out some gold coins and shouted at them: "Those who don't believe me can take back your ticket fee." ”
Everyone didn't know what to do next, but Su Xin gave them the stairs: "If no one chooses to quit, I'm going to start the mission." ”
Seeing this, Chang Jie withdrew the hand holding the gold coin, snorted lightly and glanced at those people.
"The contract is reached, 'the world is dark', 'the clouds are high and the mountains are unknown', and 'the dark Hong'...... Accept the [Hire] mission, please arrive at the designated location within 20 minutes, and prepare to resist the attack of the rebels. ”
Tasks that can only be issued by NPCs...... The crowd almost understood something, and then they entered the castle in twos and threes.
"Applejack, how did you find these people?" To be honest, Su Xin was very dissatisfied with these people, although he didn't know what their strength was, but he was very unhappy when he looked at their attitude.
"I only invited fifteen friends and players who usually have friendships, and the rest all came with those fifteen people, but the coordinates have already been sent, and it's too late to regret it."
"They're definitely not the only ones here." Su Xin crossed the corner of his eyes, stared at the gate of the castle and said: "The first civil strife battle in the NPC camp, there will definitely be more people who want to open their eyes and plan to fish in troubled waters." ”
"In order to reduce our losses, I also willingly charged one gold coin per person for the entrance fee." Chang Jie shook the gold coins in his hand with a smile, and continued: "If they really accept it in anger, I believe that my cousin's task will not be affected too much." ”
"Applejack, it's a shame that you don't take over your parents' business."
Sure enough, due to the failure to do a good job of secrecy in advance, the news of the civil strife in the Xili area spread all over "The Name of the River Basin", and the "Su Xin", who had been neglected for a long time, also triggered a new topic on the forum.
Players who heard the news harassed many ordinary NPCs in Xili over and over again, but they failed to receive the mission to participate in the battle revealed in the forum post, and instead turned the momentum to the NPCs on the lord's side.
"We're here to help Lord Harder defend the castle, and we hope to see Lord Earl."
"Hmph, you incompetent fellows dare to say such things without shame. Roll it, get it. "The guards guarding the city gate are obviously disdainful of this group of players who have just entered the game and are still very low-end in their level equipment.
"Cut." Many people complained a few times and left, and then thought of countermeasures, but there were also some shrewd players who chose to squat and see if they could be lucky enough to run into Su Xin, a bug player.
But Su Xin is now in the room with a headache for something, how can he care about anything else.
"The failure rate of the mission is still 70%...... Does it have to start a civil war for things to change? ”
At this time, the NPC who was in charge of passing the word walked in and said respectfully to Su Xin: "Lord Knight, Count Harder is invited. ”
"Earl? Okay, I'll go over right away. ”
When they arrived at the reception hall in the inner fort, Count Harder sat in the main seat with a sad face, while his two sons laughed and chatted.
"Lord Count." Su Xin gave him a knightly salute, and Earl Harder looked up at him and sighed.
"I wonder why the Earl is so troubled?"
Count Harder replied lightly: "Mr. Knight, I'm afraid the fate of Xili is going to be cut off in my hands......"
