Opening the wooden box, Zhu Yan found that it turned out to be a warehouse-like existence, with a total of sixty compartments, and a set of gray clothes was placed in the top two compartments;

Switch to the clothing interface, and put all the casual clothes that cost thousands of gold coins back into the package column, Zhu Yan put on two gray clothes;

"Sure enough, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a little guy;" Zhu Yan looked at the image of the character in gray clothes, pouted and thought;

Leaving the room, I opened the map and saw that I was in a castle, according to the map guidance, Zhu Yan walked around the castle for a long time before finally finding the castle hall;

Panting and running to the castle hall, the countess was reclining in front of a large floor-to-ceiling windowsill, holding a cold transparent goblet in her hand, looking out of the window motionless;

Zhu Yan looked at the countess calmly, and it took a long time before the countess sighed and said, "I haven't come back for a long time, and I am about to forget everything here; ”

After speaking, the countess's body slowly floated, and she returned to a gorgeous chair at the front of the hall, staring at Zhu Yan;

"Little one, now there are only me as the master, and you as the servant, tell me what you will do, so that I can arrange some work for you, and I can't just keep you from working;" The countess put down the wine glass and said to Zhu Yan;

Zhu Yan slandered in his heart, and he was not willing to come over, but was kidnapped by the countess, but he didn't dare to say this to the countess;

"By the way, you are an outsider, for you, you have to learn what kind of side hustle, what have you learned, can you cook?" The countess seemed to have thought of something, and asked aloud by tapping the back of her chair;

"This. I studied mining and blacksmithing! Zhu Yan scratched his head and said;

"Well, what else have you learned?" The countess seemed a little dissatisfied, frowned and said, "Didn't you learn some things from the noble guild?" Don't you outsiders all want to be nobles? ”

Hearing the countess's slightly mocking tone, Zhu Yan's eyes lit up and said, "I know how to fish, and I am already advanced; ”

"Fishing, or advanced, hehe, it's really good, it seems that what I said is good. You shallow outsiders really want to be nobles; Okay, head out of the hall and to the left, where there's a storage room with some of the weapons that guarded the castle in the first place. I haven't been back for so long, and the weapons are a little broken. You've learned the art of blacksmithing. Then go and fix them for me, and if you don't fix them all today, then don't think about eating; After the countess finished speaking, she yawned, and then waved her hand at Zhu Yan, signaling that he could leave and go to work;

System: You accept the task "Mending Weapons". Mission Statement, repair and restore the combat weapons in the Citadel of Aishalia; Number of weapons: 0/100, Mission time: 24 hours, Mission reward: None. Penalty for mission failure: depending on the mood of Countess Aishalia; (Note: Since the player accepting the quest is a servant of Countess Ishalia, they do not have the right to refuse any request from the Countess, and the quest is mandatory; ）

"I'm sorry, it's the worst job I've ever seen, and what's the matter with the countess who doesn't have the authority to refuse any of the countess's requests?" Zhu Yan scolded angrily in his heart, but in front of power, Zhu Yan still reluctantly turned around and left the hall and walked towards the storage room of the task guidance;

"Giggles, little one, since you have absorbed some of my power, then, in exchange, isn't it natural to do some work for me, even if my sister knows, she can't say anything about me;" Seeing Zhu Yan leave the hall, the countess smiled and said to herself;

When he came to the storage room, Zhu Yan pushed the door and saw that there were many weapons placed in it, but they had been stored for too long, and they had not been maintained at all, and the only fate of these weapons now was to sell scrap iron;

Zhu Yan casually picked up a halberd to check the attributes;

"Item Name: Broken Halberd (Quest Item), Damaged Status: 32%, Repair Requirement: Forge Intermediate"

System: You meet the requirements to repair the weapon, do you repair it?

After Zhu Yan chose yes, a faint white light appeared, wrapping his palm, and then flowing along his palm to the broken halberd, a pale green progress bar appeared in front of Zhu Yan's eyes, and he walked forward slowly;

With the movement of the progress bar, the halberd in Zhu Yan's hand also began to change, the original damaged places, the cracked places were wrapped in a layer of white light, the halberd was repaired by this layer of white light little by little, the damaged state in the attributes of the halberd began to slowly become smaller, from the initial 32% to 31%, 30% ......, and finally the damaged state became 0%;

System: After you repair a combat weapon, the task is completed by 1/100, and the forging experience is increased by 2 points;

The restored halberd was silver-white, shimmering with metallic light, and the cold light shimmered at the blade of the halberd, and at first glance it was a soldier of a hundred battles, and I don't know where the countess collected these weapons;

"Hey, can you also improve your forging experience by doing tasks?" Zhu Yan's eyes lit up; No wonder there is no reward for completing the task, it turns out that the reward for the task is in the process of completing the task;

"Item Name: Broken Two-Handed Sword (Quest Item), Damaged Status: 89%, Repair Requirement: Forge Advanced"

Zhu Yan put the repaired halberd aside, picked up another long sword and began to repair it;

Time passed, and before I knew it, half a day had passed, and only one-third of the damaged weapons in the room had been repaired, but nearly half of the number of tasks required had been completed.

Zhu Yan's physical strength was running out, he felt a little tired, and it was easy to feel tired when he did one thing repeatedly, Zhu Yan sat on the ground and began to rest and recover his strength;

After half an hour, Zhu Yan's physical strength was fully recovered, and he continued to repair the weapons, these weapons are different, and the degree of damage is not the same, some weapons even require expert-level forging techniques to repair, weapons like this, Zhu Yan picked it up and glanced at it, and threw it aside;

A day passed quickly, and Zhu Yan's task of repairing a hundred weapons had already been completed, but he did not give up and continued to repair the remaining weapons in the storage room.

You must know that now it takes at least one or two hours to build weapons to improve the forging technique, and it only takes three or four minutes to repair these broken weapons, such a good opportunity, how could Zhu Yan give up, even if he completed the task assigned by the countess, Zhu Yan still continued to repair;

System: You repair the broken knight's spear, increase the forging experience by 3, and your forging skills meet the upgrade requirements, is it upgraded?

Upgrade!

Zhu Yan smiled slightly, white light flashed, and Zhu Yan's forging technique was upgraded to the expert level;

Looking at the storage room, there are still five or six broken weapons left, Zhu Yan has repaired all of them completely, and his forging experience has increased by more than a dozen points, and the remaining weapons, the repair requirements are all beyond Zhu Yan's forging level, even if Zhu Yan wants to repair it, there is no way;

Zhu Yan walked out of the storage room and came to the hall;

"Dear Countess, I have completed all the tasks you have entrusted to me;" Zhu Yan said;

"Well, the little guy did a good job, not only did he complete the number I set, but he also exceeded the task, which is good!" The countess had an appreciative look on her face;

System: If you complete the compulsory task given to you by the countess, your friendship with her will be increased by 100 points; You have overfulfilled the mandatory task, and your friendship with the Countess has been increased by an additional 200 points, and your affinity with her is normal;

"Completing the task only increases the friendship with the countess, which is better than nothing, anyway, the level of the forging technique is increased, and it doesn't matter if there are other rewards;" Zhu Yan comforted himself in his heart;

However, the countess's following words made Zhu Yan almost vomit blood;

"Sure enough, you are worthy of my favorite servant, you really have the potential to become a good servant, well, do a good job, I will not treat you badly, oh hahahaha~" The countess laughed and said: "Okay, I am very satisfied with your work today, you can go down and rest, remember to get up early tomorrow, I still have work to hand over to you, this castle has been abandoned for too long, it needs to be renovated; ”

After listening to the countess's words, Zhu Yan's mood fluctuated, and he almost let the system automatically cut off his link to the game;

It took a long time to calm down, Zhu Yan returned to the room when he woke up, and went offline;

The next day, Zhu Yan was arranged by the countess to tidy up the library, the castle has not had an owner for many years, many books have been damaged, Zhu Yan needs to pick out the less damaged books, and throw away all the waste that cannot be read;

Zhu Yan was busy for a day, there were thousands of books in the library, and he had to choose them one by one, but in the end, he only found more than 300 books that were not too badly damaged, and the rest were all confetti;

After a busy day, Zhu Yan was not without gains, when sorting out the books, Zhu Yan found three books with blue light, and after reading, he actually improved his intelligence by 5 points, in addition, there was a bookmark on it, there was a high-level alchemy recipe, a deformation potion, and after drinking, it would immediately become a small animal, Zhu Yan of course put this "bookmark" into his package;

On the third day, the countess lost her temper over the rats in the castle and asked Zhu Yan to kill a hundred rats in the castle,......

……

For several days, Zhu Yan was called by the countess to arrange mandatory tasks as soon as he went online, and after a busy day, he went offline exhausted; Although they were tired every day, Zhu Yan and the countess's prestige was getting higher and higher, and they had broken through friendliness and reached the level of intimacy;

On this day, Zhu Yan was online again, the countess was reading a few documents, and when she saw Zhu Yan coming in, she waved him to wait aside;

For a long time, the countess put down the documents and stretched her waist, Zhu Yan's eyes lit up, the countess wore a long dress today, stretched her waist, and suddenly showed her delicate figure;

Seeing Zhu Yan's pig-like expression, a trace of annoyance flashed in the countess's eyes, but she was quickly relieved, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth;

"Come over to the little family, come and press my shoulder;" The countess said to Zhu Yan; (To be continued......)
