12. Non-sapient NPCs

Dark Mist This skill, it is not the first time that the hippopotamus does not lose weight has been used.

Many mages will have a habit surname skill, once some skills are used to it, if they don't find a better skill, they will generally not be replaced at will, after all, it is not easy to change with something that is convenient. And although the skill of Dark Mist is not a growth skill, at least it has always been a very practical skill, and the hippopotamus will naturally not give up this skill if he does not lose weight.

When the substantial dark fog completely filled the corridor, the sound of seven heavy objects falling to the ground rang out at the same time.

Obviously, in addition to the four guards and the hall owner who passed out at the same time, the two knights who were targeted by Ah Oh also fell.

And immediately after, Meow Meow White Rabbit had already rushed out with two swords, and her target was naturally the only remaining knight.

In the black fog, Meow Meow White Rabbit also can't see the environment clearly, but because Xiao Ah has already told Meow Meow White Rabbit about his attack target beforehand, she has locked on to the target from the beginning. At this moment, the darkness and fog together, the meow meow white rabbit immediately rushed in, because the movement trajectory and speed of the target had been determined in advance, so the charge at this moment naturally did not hit the air.

It's just that this side is going relatively smoothly, but the other side is obviously not going well. Because the jade ghost's attack must wait until the hippopotamus's silence technique is launched before it can be attacked, but it is obvious that after the hippo does not lose weight and casts the dark mist, no matter how fast it is, it will take an interval of one to two seconds before the skill can be cast again, so this interval is enough for the opponent to react.

Although this swordsman's level is not high, his combat effectiveness is not strong, and he is not an intelligent NPC, but the combat habits given by the system are still retained, so when he realizes that the situation is wrong, he immediately leans over and rolls in an attempt to roll out of this dark fog. However, the skill of Dark Mist made it impossible for all enemies within range to leave, so the swordsman's roll could not get out of here, and when he found that he could not leave such a move, he finally realized that he should sound the alarm.

In the system's habitual mindset, NPCs will take a behavior pattern that prioritizes protecting themselves before issuing a warning. Of course, in some special circumstances or if the enemy's combat effectiveness is too strong at the beginning, then the NPC will directly sound the alarm at the beginning.

It can be said that the hippopotamus does not lose weight because of its long-term habit, which has caused it to ignore the relationship between skill intervals, but it also accidentally did not show strong combat effectiveness, which made this NPC sound an alarm at the beginning. And at this moment, if he wants to sound the alarm, it is completely too late, although the skill of silence is not instantaneous, but the chanting time is not long, plus the professional talent and equipment of the hippopotamus, the ** division, it is not a problem to shorten the time to one second.

So when he realized that the situation was wrong and wanted to speak, the NPC had already found himself completely unable to move and unable to speak.

Three seconds is neither long nor short.

But it was enough for Jade Ghost, a boxer profession. At the moment when the silence technique was successfully cast, he had already rushed out, but it was a pity that the swordsman guard moved, so the first blow was naturally empty, but even if it was an attack, the jade ghost's attack methods and exploration methods were also diverse, and the next moment he had completely captured the enemy's location.

When the three-second time is over, the Jade Ghost's attack also hits his opponent, and then the next situation is naturally simple.

After several combo attack skills were cast one after another, it was impossible for this NPC to live. It's just that the result of this attack is a little bit wrong halfway, because at the end of the combo attack, the powerful attack shock force will inevitably shake the enemy out, and if the enemy is shaken away here in the corridor, then it will inevitably make a loud noise, and finally pass by and realize this problem in advance, and become a human shield.

"Hey, sure enough, it's still reliable to pass by." Yun Tian patted the shoulder of the passing by and said with a smile.

Passing by, he glanced at Yun Tian very simply, and then put the corpse in his hand aside. There were eight guards in total, and all but four of them had passed out, and fortunately there was no sound. You know, there are two guards upstairs who are still standing guard, and they can deal with the opponent in such a situation, which has to be said to be a combination of skill and luck.

Yun Tian walked to the side of the hall owner, reached out and slapped him a few times, directly waking him up.

If you hit the target of a sleepy skill, you can wake up the opponent by attacking or interfering with sounds. Therefore, everyone was more careful when carrying the four guards who were still alive, after all, if they were to wake up, the problem would be quite troublesome. Moreover, after killing the four people and letting the four people go, Yun Tian and the others immediately received a prompt sound from the system, which showed that their faction modifier value had received a two-point bonus from the righteous side.

As a result, the dark camp of the crowd immediately dropped by many points.

However, Yuntian wants to be in a neutral situation, not to favor the dark or righteous side. The assistance he wants to get from the vampire queen is naturally impossible to favor justice, you must know that it is not bad for dark creatures not to support the dark camp, and it is obviously impossible to let them be good people.

After being slapped a few times by Yuntian, the owner of the Royal Library finally woke up. He looked at Yun Tian and the others a little blankly, and then glanced at the eight guards next to him, with a look of shock on his face.

System: You have completed the quest "Lurker" and the system is detecting faction relations.

System: After the detection is completed, the team faction relationship is the dark faction, and the current faction value is 3765.

System: You have entered the Dark Faction route in the "Dark Believers" series of quests. Mission B-2 "The Avengers" opens.

System: Mission A-1 "Victim", Mission A-2 "Redeemer", Mission B-1 "The Killer", and Mission C "Explorer" are being assigned.

System: Bring the Royal Library owner to a safe place.

A series of system prompts flickered like a horse, shocking everyone a little stunned. When Yuntian told them that this mission was likely to have a faction option, they didn't have the slightest doubt, but when they saw the system display at this moment, they realized that all the assumptions they had done before were too naΓ―ve, and they completely underestimated the game "Shengshi", which was so huge that it could already be called a perverted mission system.

After a little thought, they all knew that the mission of this "dark believer" team was obviously not just a single team mission. In addition to having a large number of two-way quest surnames, when the quest reaches a certain step, it will automatically generate some new branches or new quests similar to the faction mode, and these quests also have a variety of matches and requirements.

Type A is obviously from the Righteous Camp, while Type B is from the Dark Camp, and Type C is naturally from the neutral camp. Moreover, in addition to the missions of the neutral faction, the missions of the dark camp and the righteous camp will also generate sub-missions such as A-1, A-2, B-1, and B-2 according to the team's faction value, which are obviously directly related to the difficulty, and B-1 missions are definitely more difficult than B-2.

And there is no doubt that the more difficult the task, the richer the rewards.

"It's not safe here, let's get out of here quickly." The owner of the Royal Library opened his mouth to wake up everyone who were still pondering, "I don't know how you got here, but it's clear that it's going to be difficult to get out of here right now. …… I know of an ancient secret passage, but it hasn't been opened for hundreds of years, and it is said that there was an accident when it was last used, so the secret passage is actually in a sealed state. ”

Hearing the hall master's words, Yun Tian and the others glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces looked very weird.

"There is no air in the secret passage, I am no younger than you, and someone like me will definitely have an accident if he enters." The hall master didn't notice the strange appearance on the faces of Yun Tian and the others, which made Yun Tian judge in an instant, this hall master was not a smart NPC, "So, I can only ask you to go in and kill five necromantic knights and collect five necromantic gems." …… This gem can open a trap in the secret passage, filling it with air, making it much easier for us to escape. ”

System: The quest "Road to Survival" is opened.

Objective: Bring the owner of the Royal Library to the Basement and kill five Necro Knights to collect five Necro Stones.

Mission completion: 5/5.

System: You have completed the quest "Survival Path".

As soon as the old man's words were finished, the system flashed several messages in a row, and then directly prompted Yun Tian and the others to complete the task. Before, they had already emptied all the necromantic monsters in the secret passage, and even marked the route of the secret passage. Hearing such a task request at this moment, everyone was naturally speechless for a while, but it was a pity that this old man was not a smart NPC.

"Gee, it's great that you got the gems back so quickly." The owner of the Royal Library said excitedly, "Now I can open that magic circle and remove all the filth from it." …… However, the secret passage is very complicated, and the energy of these gems can only last for about thirty minutes, so we have to leave the secret passage within thirty minutes. ”

One side looked at the owner of the Royal Library who was still chattering, and then suddenly said, "Why do I suddenly feel so happy when I see this old man talking to himself so stupidly? …… I never found out that non-intelligent NPCs also have such cute times. ”

"I think so too." Almost instantly, everyone on the team immediately spoke up and seconded it.

"Don't waste time, let's go." The old man was still talking to himself.

"Little Meow, how long will it take us to complete that secret passage?"

"Less than five minutes......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You know, we only have thirty minutes......"
