Chapter 288: The New Lich
Now that the elven sisters have become official teammates, Egg naturally no longer hid them, refining some potions and distributing them as emergency supplies, of course, the most important thing is life potions and mana potions. These things are not easy to get private goods, and even money is difficult to buy, so they are naturally very pleased that their captain is really powerful.
At the same time, Egg also officially identified himself as an intermediate enchanter, collected the newly acquired equipment of his teammates, and attached a suitable enchantment overnight, mainly based on the main attribute, the main attribute of the thief is agile, and the main attribute of the druid is tentatively set as intelligence, after all, the wild "anger" of Terry Blue before is still very powerful, because the intelligence is too low and the amount of blue is too small, it will soon be broken...... It is worth mentioning that Terriven's Shadow Dagger, after discussing with her, did not attach 3 points of agility, but chose 6 points of attack strength, and the weapon is more suitable for damage output.
……
The battle clouds are dense on this side of Red Ridge Mountain, and people who are slightly sensitive can basically feel that there may be a considerable scale of battle brewing here, speaking of which, the opportunity is still on the Warcraft Mercenary Group, if it weren't for the elf sisters who accidentally discovered the captured captain, if it weren't for the fact that the Egger team was really powerful, and actually rescued this important person in the demon cave, it would be impossible for Lakeside Town to know the reality and distribution of troops of the Blackstone Orcs, no wonder this mission can actually reward epic equipment such as undead bone fire.
Now, the lord who has obtained the virtual reality of the Blackstone Orcs is like opening the fog of war, and he is ready to do a great job, striving to drive the Blackstone Orcs out of here in one go. Even if they can't do it all at once, at least they have to squeeze their living space and seek greater welfare for the people. Therefore, the Lakeside Town Escort Regiment has been greatly mobilized recently......
But these Iger don't care, he feels that the number of his squad is small after all, there is no need to participate in this level of battle, if he is not careful, he is likely to lose his wife and lose his soldiers, the best way is to take the team out of here. His original target was naturally Night Town, where it is said that there are many undead creatures, and mercenary missions are absolutely indispensable. It's worth a visit.
But. In the end, he was unable to make the trip...... Because, Lord Hoffman asked to see him by name, and even sent a carriage to invite him to the lord's mansion, but he had no choice but to report to Hoffman first.
"If it's to recruit my Warcraft mercenary group to enlist. That qiē is not to be discussed. We are a mercenary group chasing profits. Not fighters, we don't want to participate in this war. ”
As soon as he saw the lord, Egg directly expressed his attitude. is not even afraid to say that he is a profit-chaser in order to gag the other party's mouth. You must know that once they are recruited by the government, they are likely to lose their autonomy, and if they are sent to the dangerous front, they will even be sacrificed as outcasts, and he does not want to do this kind of loss-making business. For this guy who doesn't have the slightest idea of dominating the world, there is a tall man on top of the sky, there is no reason for him to go up to die in a hurry, if the woman who protects himself hangs up, it is worth it, as for Lakeside Town, it is obviously not among them......
Egger's straightforward statement made Lord Hoffman a little disappointed, he originally wanted to use national righteousness to trap this powerful mercenary group, but obviously, everyone dared to say that he was a profit-seeker, and this set was no fun. But after all, it was a member of the Megatron side, and that trace of disappointment was fleeting, as if there was no such thing: "Your Excellency, I didn't come to you this time to recruit you into the army, and the small temple of the Guardian Regiment may not be able to accommodate the big Buddha of the Warcraft Mercenary Group." I'm coming to you to issue a limited-time mission, not against the Blackstone Orcs, but against the undead who may appear. ”
"Undead?" I heard that there is a task to take, or a time-limited task, and someone suddenly came to the spirit: "Please tell me about the task in detail, and it is best to tell me directly about the task reward." ”
The lord smiled helplessly, and said in his heart that this group of mercenaries is really a profit-seeker of Chiguoguo, and they can't afford to be profitable at all, forget it, who made them strong enough? If you can't become a friend, at least don't make enemies, so he suppressed his previous thoughts: "You should know, we are going to make a move against the Blackstone Orcs, even if we can't kill them all in one go this time, at least we can force them to hand over most of the land in the north, and there is no problem in leaving this matter to the escort team, but now the situation is a little different." To the northeast of the lake, there is a high ground, and now a new enemy situation has emerged. ”
"Originally, there was a wooded lumberyard that could supply most of the timber in Lakeside in its heyday, but indiscriminate logging did not last long, and as the trees became scarce, the lumberyard gradually fell into disuse. In order to protect this lumber yard, a nobleman once funded the construction of a small castle on the high ground, and there were many powerful warriors stationed at that time, and with the abandonment of the lumberyard, the castle slowly lost its meaning, but it is said that the earl named Dracula has been suffering there for unknown reasons. ”
"Count Dracula? No way? "Iger was shocked, what is this? In the world before him, the name of Count Dracula, which is simply a vampire incarnation, has been passed down for a long time, and various film and television works have emerged in endlessly, which is the most mysterious existence.
But are there vampires in Azerol?
It doesn't seem to be! There are demons here, there are fear lords, but I don't seem to have heard of vampires. So this ......
"Your Excellency has heard of Dracula? Oh, that's normal, in the Red Ridge Mountain, the old earl is indeed a legendary figure, but his reputation is not good, some people even say that he will steal corpses, the civilians who live near him will disappear inexplicably, and some people even say that he likes to suck the blood of young girls. ”
"Of course, this is obviously a rumor, at least sucking the blood of a girl is absolutely not credible. But if it is said that he killed people and played with corpses, it should be eight or nine inseparable, and there is evidence that the desolation of the lumberyard was largely due to his cultivation of necromantic magic, and the people in that area often disappeared inexplicably, as if the world had evaporated, and every night, there would be a terrible wail from the castle, and this panic led to the flight of most of the civilians, and finally there was no human activity at all. ”
"Necromancy?"
"That's right, it's necromancy, and the latest information is that this earl, who was originally our human race, has degenerated into a necromancer. Why were the Blackstone Orcs able to penetrate the southeast side of Red Ridge Mountain? It was because of their collusion that the Blackstone Orcs sent the corpse to Dracula for study, and the damned Lich opened the door for the Orcs to allow them to take advantage of it, and it was only through them that they managed to infiltrate. ”
"Now, the form of our war against the Blackstone Orcs is urgent, but we don't want such a powerful lich threat behind us, your task is to drag out Dracula, no matter what method is used, if you succeed in holding him down for 10 days, I will pay you the appropriate task reward."
Egg rubbed his fingers: "Lich, that's not a green turnip, I will definitely not send you to death without a proper reward." ”
"An epic piece of equipment, 20 gold coins, hold him for at least 10 days."
Hint: The Hoffman Lord of Lakeside has issued you the quest "New Lich", which will reward you with a random orange card, will you accept it?
Lichs are representatives of powerful parties, if it's an old lich, such as a certain "frost language" of Nova in the psychic academy or something, then Iger doesn't want to die, but if it's just a new lich, it doesn't seem to be very difficult, after all, the strength of the team is not low now, there are epic equipment to get, the key is that the mission shows that there will be random orange card rewards, how can this be endured?
Accept!
……
"Lich! You are crazy? Can we deal with that kind of guy? I heard that every lich is very powerful, they were basically powerful mages in their lifetimes, but they were tempted and eventually fell, and turned to practice powerful necromancy, blaspheming the soul and desecrating the corpse, and if they didn't find the life box, they could almost say that they were immortal and immortal, so they really had to fight against such creatures? ”
Claire was in a hurry, she had the most experience in the rivers and lakes, and she knew the power of these lichs......
Necromancy is evil, but it is also synonymous with power, and there are various reasons why many mages would abandon their elemental magic in favor of practicing this evil necromancy, but there is definitely no shortage of people like Krisugad who are willing to fall for the sake of power.
For these lichs, only souls and corpses are eternal beauty, and they will work tirelessly to transform all life into this eternal beauty. They are the natural enemies of a living race, the source of disasters that are born with death, indiscriminate death, because they themselves stand in opposition to life.
Controlling the soul and transforming the soul is their forte, and even ordinary cold ice, after being mixed with evil souls, will become extremely evil ice, and its masterpiece is "Frost Sorrow".
At the same time, all kinds of flesh and blood corpses will also be ruthlessly desecrated, and eventually become something feared by the living...... Skeletons, zombies, and abomination, all of which are the source of disaster.
"Oh, fighting with other enemies, the big deal is that failure is death, but fighting with the lich is different, even death can't solve the problem, most of the time after death still has to become an undead accomplice, don't, I don't want to be killed and become a zombie...... Uh" Osa is starting to shiver......
Think about it, defeated and killed, your soul torn and devoured, your body cut open like a piece of flesh, and then stitched onto a huge, ugly stitched corpse, maybe one of its hands is yours, or maybe it's a red thigh......
The other members also shivered involuntarily, and before they could fight, their morale was already gone! (To be continued......)
