Chapter 19: Bounty
After a busy night, Mephis made up for Hevier throughout the whole process, but no one made up for Mephis, as soon as his spirit relaxed, a strong sense of drowsiness hit him on the back of the head with a hammer, and he couldn't wait to fall asleep instantly in Hevier's arms, but unfortunately he couldn't leave immediately.
Mephis crouched beside the embers that the withburner seemed to have left behind, pinching a little with her hand and looking at it.
【Immortal Ashes (Alchemy Material)】
There are many ways to express immortality in the game, some are forcibly locked in a single digit for a period of time, there are also potions that effectively restore life force for a short period of time, and there are also some items that will not die as long as the damage received does not exceed the upper limit, although the name says immortal, in fact, most of the people die after using these items.
The reason is very simple, it is difficult for old players to turn back and brush after being familiar with the dungeon, and it is meaningless when the new version is not familiar with the boss skill group when it is destroyed, and when it is destroyed, it is meaningless.
Mephis guessed that the raw material of these ashes was phoenix feathers, and the phoenix in the game was a high-level intellectual monster that burned all over the day and slept peacefully at night.
Thinking of the phoenix, one of the most popular representatives is the ice phoenix mother who lives in the abyss of the far north, and the natural stupid attribute often asks the player strange questions, remember, it is close, the closer the player sticks to the ice phoenix mother, and there is no consciousness.
Ice Phoenix Mother's Wife Attributes are explosive at the same time, it can be called a mobile welfare, warmly entertaining every player to drink tea at home, and inviting players with high favorability to hold a banquet every other day, although it is only a game NPC, but because of high intelligence, players with love even regard Ice Phoenix Mother as a friend.
There are even players who form a support group of Ice Phoenix Mother, and PK with the people of the strategy group in the wild every day, so they have become the only hidden boss in the game who has not been pushed down. At first, the establishment of the support group was mostly a playful nature, but Mephis found it interesting to join in, sneaking up to the position of the head of the group, and gradually developed into a professional field PVP organization, under the banner of 'if you want to brush the ice phoenix mother, cross our corpse' to intercept the major guild strategy groups, and turn the entire Far North into a battlefield until the current version.
Players fight monsters, players fight players, and monsters with hatred and chaos fight monsters, Mephis's PVP skills are practiced at this time.
There's no way, you have to die seventy or eighty times a day, who told the Demon Sect scholar to have the word 'good bully' written on his face?
Wait, that's not the problem...... Mephis hurriedly shook his head to sober himself up, the reason why he thought of phoenix feathers was because of the characteristics of this material, which would spontaneously combust when exposed to sunlight, so thinking about it, could it be that the phoenix became New Orleans red barbecue chicken during the day? Rest assured, the feathers are all right when they are still on the phoenix, people have a supply of magic power, and the falling feathers will not work, even if it is shrouded in the warmest morning light of winter, the phoenix feathers will quickly burn until they disappear, which is why the witherer does not appear during the day.
Mephis took the ashes in a money bag, and the next morning, the bag of ashes appeared in the Mercenary Society, where Heviel came alone to receive the bounty.
Just imagine, the withercaller killed dozens of people, the battle scene was full of devastation, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere, in this case, a beautiful girl who could be called a noble lady appeared, holding ashes of unknown origin and saying that she had completed the task, what did the mercenaries think?
"Don't be kidding, cute little girl, last night the commander and elite of the 'Battle Blade' were all wiped out, and a team of city guards died at the same time, do you want to say that these black things are that terrifying monster? Are you sure it didn't come out from under the chimney? ”
Many mercenary groups work in vain, and the physically strong mercenaries certainly don't care about this lack of sleep, and sometimes they fight to death the next day in the rain and clouds in the prostitution hall.
"Fighting monsters is not a knight's game, Miss, where are you from, at least put on a leather armor."
What makes the mercenaries uncomfortable is the sense of grievance that has been wasted overnight, and there is no benefit from wasting manpower and material resources, and now there is no way to vent their grievances, and the appearance of Hervier has become a target for them to vent their grievances.
"Miss, your long-legged and thin-waisted man is not suitable for fighting monsters, and you can't even hold a short knife in that arm, can you? But here's a short knife for you, uncle, and if you go to bed with me and ride a horse, you'll be able to hold it. ”
Heviel remained silent, and not long ago the Scorpion had ignored her when they thanked her, and now they didn't argue with anyone else, just staring coldly at the last person to speak.
The mercenary who spoke last didn't care, and the eldest lady with a heart higher than the sky hadn't seen it, although the odds were small, but in the past few years, I have also seen a noble young man who pursues excitement come to the association to register a mercenary, nominally doing a task, but in fact it is a story of a noble young man who worships knightly novels and takes a noble girl on a wild trip, and then eats it, well.
The mercenary's only regret is that the good cabbage himself has not arched.
"What do you think, what do you have to say? Dissatisfied, he came to me and said. ”
As soon as the words fell, Heviel walked over to this side, and she liked to be unconvinced.
The mercenary smacked his lips and stood up, with a height of 1.8 meters and a strong physique, with two heavy battle axes behind his back, and looked down on Hevier silently and intimidated.
The surrounding mercenaries couldn't help but look this way, expecting the show to develop, and then everyone froze in place as if they had stopped the magic in time.
Bang Dang——! There was a muffled sound, and the timid people couldn't help but hide their faces, listening to the sadness, and it hurt to look at it.
The mercenary who was still disrespectful one moment ago, the next second he was smashed through the marble table with his head held down, Hevier held his head and crushed it hard, the mercenary's face was covered with his own nosebleeds, his two hands struggled desperately but could not do anything, and finally he was weakly paralyzed, and gently patted the ground to beg for mercy.
Hevier pulled out the battle axe behind the mercenary's back, it was two identical pure steel battle axes, each several times larger than a human head, and was folded by Hevier on top of each other, and thrown in front of the head of the guild with his backhand.
Two pieces of scrap iron rubbed against the ground and hit the front of the stage, and there were sparks and lightning all the way over, and the corner of the eye of the person in charge of the association twitched, I have heard that people are not good-looking, but I have not heard that a 16-year-old girl tears a tomahawk, this is really a human in front of her?
"This young lady, please calm your anger, this mercenary lying on the ground is not an official member of the association, he is a temporary mercenary during the inspection period, and his behavior does not represent the comprehensive essence of the mercenaries of our association."
Heviel nodded to show that it was understandable, and then raised the bounty order in his hand, his face sinking like water.
The person in charge of the association wiped away the cold sweat and politely handed over the mercenary manual.
"Please look at this page, the guild needs a process to deliver the high-level bounty, the first thing is to confirm whether you have completed the mission, and we need human and physical evidence to determine whether this is the remains of a murderer."
Hervier continued to nod, and then?
"Please leave your contact information, and our people will do their best to confirm the information and reply to you."
The person in charge of the association patiently explained with a shy smile that he didn't mention the issue of compensation for breaking the table at all, after all, this person was still on the ground, wasn't it? This person has problems with his cultivation and strength, and must be given a warning and the probation period extended.
In any case, the end result was that Hevier didn't get the bounty, and stood alone in front of the magic prop house for a long time before returning to the hotel, looking like she was looking at her long-lost biological sister, and finally sighed and left depressed.
Mephis is counting the receipts in the inn, and the experience provided by destroying the Blightcaster is enough for Mephis to upgrade to more than 5 levels, if it weren't for Heviel's super pet, Mephis would inevitably have to risk his life if he wanted to solve the Blightcaster.
Recently, the level has increased rapidly, but it is useless, Mephis doesn't know what abilities can be unsealed after the level is raised, but he knows that even if he can control more magic books now, if he doesn't cultivate magic books, he still can't form combat power, so he can't really use magic books to smash people, right?
Quietly to tell the truth, dictionary crit is still very useful. After all, Hervier can't always take care of Mephis, and she can't follow her when she eats, sleeps, and baths, and she can't really think about it!
[Book of Fire]
【Fire Enchantment (Mastery D)】
【Flame Shot (Proficiency A)】
【Elemental Summoning (Mastery D+)】
【Sun Strike (Proficiency E)】
The magic flame is quite good combat power, and Mephis decided to prioritize it, unsealing new skills to increase attack power, and investing the rest of the experience in the Book of Mist to strengthen skills.
[Book of Mist]
【Spiegel Water Stop (Proficiency A++)】
[Real Mirror (Proficiency B+)]
With the help of the Book of Flames' aggressiveness and the Book of Mist, the current state is Mephis's ideal mode of single-brush withering, and the only flaw is that he has no ability to control the field.
I hope that going to the orphanage today can settle things, and I hope to meet that person, in the age of games, who is the real designated heir of Dean Robertson, and at the same time the person that Mephis has a little longing for.
Suddenly sensing Hevier's breath, Mephis closed the magic guide book, watched Heviel walk into the house sullenly, and saw that she knew that she didn't get the money when she was empty-handed, and only after asking did she understand the reason, it is understandable, after all, it is not a game, how can the mercenary association that really save zài say that if you give money, you will give money?
Mephis decided to comfort her companion.
"Don't look like a puppy when you're hungry."
"I used a lot of mana in the battle last night, I'm hungry, I'm really, really hungry."
Hevier's classmates were even more embarrassed, and Mephis was a little embarrassed, he really wronged his companions, but the initial investment was also necessary, and if he had income, he would definitely buy food for Hevier.
"There will be bread, there will be milk, and it will be all good."
"But I don't eat what you say, I've never been so hungry, and I've been cured twice since I followed you, the master of the dime."
Mephis was amused when she heard this, and leaned closer to Hevier to look up and down, her voice unkind.
"Will the magic guide be tricky? Coincidentally, I'm an expert in this area, where to lose weight, lie down and don't move, let me check what the fault is. ”
Poof-
As soon as the words fell, the pillow flew and exploded instantly, goose feathers fluttered in the room, and Mephis was smashed in mid-air and flipped 360 degrees and fell to the ground.
Hervier's embarrassed affection had a slightly reproachful tone.
"Lord Mephis, is it funny to tease me?"
Interesting?
Mephis lay on the ground and watched the goose feathers from the ceiling fall like snow, and the reason why he didn't stand up was because his neck hurt. Think about it carefully, when I was addicted to mobile games, I would poke the Kanban Niang hundreds of times a day to see the reaction and listen to the voice, but now I don't have a mobile phone, no computer, and no Kanban Niang, Mephis is bored and can only poke Hervier to see how she reacts.
Well, the flying pillow gave Mephis the answer.
It's a lot of strength!
