"This is? How so? Egger, who was carrying a large bag in his hand, wordlessly let the precious package fall into the dust: "What happened to this piece of broken wall and eaves? ”

The small mountain village of his hometown was now unrecognizable, full of charred wood and collapsed walls, and although there were no corpses, it was clear that the village must have undergone a great change before. Along the way, he saw that a lot of farmland had been destroyed, and farmers who had always loved the land would never do this, so the rest of the explanation is self-evident......

He felt that something was wrong, and hurried all the way, but there was such a sad scene. The entire village was destroyed, and most of the dwellings were completely burned...... What's the situation?

He was full of joy and thought that he could return to his hometown in fine clothes, but at this time he could only kneel weakly at the door of the house that seemed to be his original......

"Captain! There seems to be someone in front! ”

"Check it out!"

There were a few sounds coming from the direction of the road outside the village, but Egger was now showing some signs of collapse and didn't hear it right away. However, his later life, after all, was a calm and rational person, and after feeling that someone was approaching, he forced himself to break away from the boundless state of sorrow and look at these unpleasant guests......

A group of regular Imperial soldiers! With the standard equipment of the whole body, the combination of swords and shields, and the imperial flag, it is obvious that this is the regular army of the North County! It's probably the appearance of a squad, with an average level of 5 to 8, in which the squad leader Egger can't detect the level, showing a skull and a question mark, which means that the squad leader, the level is at least 13 or above (the system can't detect his own target above level 1O, unless the other party is willing to show it himself), and around the identity of the other party, there is a circle of golden dragon symbols, which is completely different from ordinary imperial infantry.

This Iger knows, which means that this squad leader is an elite! There is absolutely a world of difference in strength from ordinary soldiers of the same level! Although it is also the standard configuration of a left-handed shield and a one-handed sword in the right hand, Egg, who senses the strength of the other party, does not dare to despise the other party at all...... Respect the strong at all times, this is a necessary rule to survive in Big 6!

"Please identify yourself? Juvenile! The captain performed the standard etiquette of an emperor, and then solemnly asked the other party to reveal his identity.

"Dear Emperor, I am from this village, my name is Egger. I have been working in the town, but I have returned to my hometown, but now my former home is now a broken wall, and my family does not know where to go! Iger froze and replied without panic, he was telling the truth, not a lie, so he seemed very sincere.

"Egger? Civilians in the village? Hey......" The captain sighed: "I am Claude, the captain of the first squad of the Fifth Brigade of the Imperial Regular Army in North County, and I was temporarily transferred to this area to investigate the incident of the kobolds' sudden attack on civilian villages. ”

He paused: "It's a pity young man, if your family is in this village, then I regret to inform you that all the civilians here have been killed by the kobolds, and there is not a single one left...... Please mourn! ”

"Why are there no bodies? I didn't see a single body, you're lying to me, are you? "

He asked frantically, with a little bit of luck.

"It's a pity! When my team and I were notified and a few reinforcement priests rushed to the site, it was almost burning. When we entered, there were corpses everywhere, and there were traces of kobold violence. Because of the hurt of heaven and peace, the pastors asked our people to help to concentrate on the burial of these poor people and gave them a basic degree of comfort for their souls......

That's all we can do, and we buried them with our own hands, I remember the number was 224. The house you are in now, I remember collecting 3 bodies from it, 2 men and 1 woman. Young man, I know you're sad, but you're gone, and you still need to take it in stride! Claude patted the poor young man in front of him on the shoulder and comforted.

"Damn!" The information is basically right, 2 men and 1 woman, it must be Egg's father, mother and brother, which means that they have all been killed, and the last remaining luck is shattered......

"When did this happen?"

"About 3 or 4 days ago!" This captain still has a good heart, and he is quite sympathetic to this survivor!

"Hate why I wasn't there...... It's so hateful! If I had been here......"

"Young man, although I am very sympathetic to your plight, even if you were present at the time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to do anything with you. These kobolds are ferocious and ruthless, and they are very unhappy with the human encroachment on their self-proclaimed "territory", and they hate human beings very much, and they never leave a living mouth when they have the opportunity, and if you were here at that time, I am afraid that you will only add one more corpse for nothing......" Claude advised.

"If I had been there, I might not have been able to kill all the kobolds, but at least I have the ability to deal with some ......of them," said Egg, and a small fireball gathered in Egger's hand......

"Huh? Mage? Are you a mage? Claude asked aloud in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be a rare mage." Do you have any desire to join the military? If you want, I can write you a letter of recommendation, and the captain will definitely assign you to my team for the sake of my face, responsible for patrolling the surrounding area, so that you may have the opportunity to use the emperor's ** power to achieve the purpose of revenge for your family! ”

Claude: This is clearly a temptation! Mages are rare, and the attack method is magic ranged, his current squad is all melee soldiers, if he can match the mage, don't ask for more, just one, can make the team's strength rise more than one level, and can also complete special tasks that could not be completed before, so he values mages very much. It's just that there are too few mages who are willing to join the army, and his first team has not been assigned even one......

Iger shook his head! Army? No way! That would severely limit his freedom, and it would be impossible for him to do many things he wanted, which was not in his personal interest......

"Don't you have any plans to join the army? What a shame that is! Don't you think about it anymore teenager? If you're willing to join our squad, I promise to help you get revenge on the kobolds! "Still not giving up......

"Nope! I have no plans to join the army! The teacher asked me to return to the Dharma Pagoda after a while, so I can only thank you for your kindness! "Iger made up a random reason to prevaricate!

"Oh! Your mentor has an arrangement, that's me trespassing! It's okay, there's no problem on my side! It's just kobold...... You know, our team is patrolling this area, and we need to protect more civilians, and we can't leave our posts without permission. You are a powerful mage, so can you take a task from my side, which is to clean up some kobold laborers in the Echo Valley, you just need to use your spell to clean up some kobolds and get 8 candles in their hands, you can come to my stronghold to hand in the task, and I can give you some rewards. How about 5o copper coins and a standard one-handed sword? ”

"One-handed sword? What do I want it for? "He wants to do the task, but this reward is a bit tricky, right?

The former sneered dryly: "This quest was originally open to all free mercenaries, you know, basically all warriors, and we have a surplus of rewards offered!" You're a mage, so naturally you can't afford a one-handed sword, but we can't afford a standard wand as a reward! I don't think you have any weapons, so you can use them, and if you can't sell them, it's worth some copper coins, the empire doesn't limit this situation, you can dispose of it at will. I also saw that you were more suitable for this task, so I gave it to you, how about it? Willing to accept it? ”

"To be honest, even if I don't have your mission, I still want to avenge my relatives. Pick up! Of course you accept! Iger said fiercely.

System Prompt: Accept the task of cleaning up kobold labor, ask for at least 8 candles dropped from kobolds, and after completing the task, you will receive 5o copper coins, a standard one-handed sword, and a quarter of the experience required to level up. In addition, when handing over a mission, you can get a random 1-star white card in the Hearthstone Book. This quest can be abandoned!

Yes...... Praise the god of the system! Not only are there rewards on the surface, but there are also a lot of experience rewards, and even the quest itself is one of the means to accumulate cards for Hearthstone. It seems that in the future, as long as it is a task, you can't give up lightly......

Come on! Young Master Ai secretly clenched his fists and cheered for himself...... This action made Claude think that the young man was expressing his determination for revenge, and his favorability for him also increased a lot. It's a pity, the mage always doesn't like to join the army to train, and always likes to stay in the mage tower or other dark corners, can the number of grasshoppers become stronger? Cut......

"Considering your special situation, you are a ranged mage. I can assign you 2 shield-wielding warriors on my side, who can be placed under your command and responsible for protecting your safety. But you have to sign an agreement that you will not disregard their lives for your own selfishness! If you're willing to pay 2o copper coins, I can assign two of my best and greatest warriors to accompany you, so that you can easily complete the task. Of course, Copper Coins can be deducted from your mission rewards and do not require you to pay cash. How is it? ”

To put it bluntly, Claude is showing goodwill, only 2o copper coins, each person can be matched with 1o, and there are two powerful meat shield warriors to join, for other mages, it may be a good thing for pie in the sky.

However, for Egger's special situation, it is completely unattractive, he even has 3 better and more powerful meat shields, and there is no need to spend money to hire 2 cumbersome warriors......
