Chapter 298: A Visitor from Night Town
The environment here feels oppressive, eerie and uncomfortable without sunlight. It's not that there is no sun, but it's shrouded in fog all year round, and it's hard for sunlight to penetrate it, plus there are many trees here, and the air is humid. If you let Iger say that the same forest, the environment of the Elwyn Forest is hundreds of times better than here.
This is the town of night, and as the name suggests, it almost never really has daylight, it is always that dim night......
After a few days of marching, the Warcraft mercenary group arrived here and stayed in one of the largest "night hotels", many mercenaries will choose to settle here, although it is not very luxurious, but there is everything here, for the mercenaries, there is nothing more important than convenience.
"I don't like it here, I always feel that the fog here is uncomfortable, it smells like a bad ghost. But the people in this town have a kind of unwilling and unyielding thing in it, which is very contradictory. ”
The thief girl said coolly, she almost died at the hands of the ghost castle lich, but fortunately, Ellijie was very powerful and pulled her back from the hands of death, after this period of recovery, her body was fine, so she walked away in the ghost gate, but let go of the arrogance in the elf's bones, at least, she would not show it in front of saviors like Egger and Ellie. It's cool because she's in nature, but as we all know, she's put down her original shelves and is trying to fit into the team.
"Yes! Oh, yes! Everyone felt this way, and they all echoed it.
After a day's rest at the hotel, Egger took on the role of the leader of the C-class mercenary group. Visited Mayor Solomon in Nighttown. It's a cool name, but the owner isn't a particularly powerful boss, he's a professional, but he's not a hero, and I've heard that he's the leader of a unique organization called Nightwatch, which is actually similar to the Lakeside Guards.
Mayor Solomon welcomed them, in fact, although most of the mercenary groups were mercenary, many lords still wanted more and more powerful mercenaries in their territory, because in that case, although there would be some price to pay. But they can be hired to complete some relatively difficult tasks. A guy who can eat by doing mercenary missions. is not an idle person, this can be regarded as a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer.
On the continent of Azero, mercenary groups, freelancers. It is a relatively high-status occupation. It's still quite popular. At least they're strong......
"We don't have many mercenaries in Night Town, and we have accumulated some quests recently, which will be hung on the quest board of the hotel. You can find the right one to do. The mayor of the town introduced it politely, and sent the guests off with tea, and Egger didn't linger too long, this time he came to say hello to the owner here, which was a necessary etiquette.
There are indeed a lot of tasks on the task board, but most of them are escorts and guards, which are long-term tasks, which are not suitable for the appetite of the Warcraft mercenary group. There are two quests that catch Egger's attention, one is the "Haunted Cabin", which was posted by Lady Eva and asks the mercenary group to investigate a legendary haunted house. Another name is very literary, called "looking up at the starry sky", a certain technician likes to watch the sky at night, making a telescope with a special lens, it is said that accidentally lost, ask someone to find it, there is a heavy reward. Everyone can take this task, and no one knows the specific location of the task items anyway, and whoever finds it first will receive the honorarium, which is very simple.
As for the previous mission, Egg and Alyselle visited the Lady Eva together, while the others rested in the inn.
It was a widowed old woman who hired a few men to run a small inn, the kind of inn that mercenaries did not bother to come, and most of them were inhabited by civilians, so the room prices were also low, and Mrs. Eva was very talkative.
"On the hillside to the northeast outside the town, there is a small separate house that leads to a headwind trail, which is said to lead to a very dangerous place, and none of us here dare to go to guò. My husband and I used to live in that little house, but then the dead ghost was gone, and I never went again. I wanted to go there a few days ago, but it turned out that it seemed to be haunted, and I heard the woman's wail, so I didn't dare to go in and ran back. After all, it's a place full of old memories, and when people get old, they want to visit it often, so please help get rid of the dirt inside. ”
The reward is not much, only 10 silver coins, which Iger can't look at, but then again, this is an official mission, and he came to do the task not for that money at all, but for the experience and cards rewarded, which is the big head. At first glance, this task is not particularly difficult, isn't it just to get rid of the dirt inside? It's a small case.
He could have taken Elliejie with him, but considering that the rest of the team also needed to share experience rewards, he went back and called everyone to ......
"When Sister Ya and I were doing the Starwin mission before, I came here, and that mission was terrible, running around collecting mission information, and I was annoyed, but the final reward was not bad."
Ellijie is talking about the Starwin Ring of Love that she is wearing now, plus 3 points of spirit, although it is really not a good thing now, but at the time when they were down, it was absolutely superb, no wonder the little priest began to miss: "Brother Ai, if our sisters hadn't met you, I'm afraid we would have died somewhere now......"
She stared at Egger with wide eyes, and the tenderness and sweetness in it were enough to melt any man. She is usually a little shy by nature, and rarely shows such a bold expression in front of others, but now that she finally has time for the two of them to get along, she is also bolder.
A girl's feelings are always poetry! She had suffered from gains and losses before, but as the first girl to contact Egg, her heart had actually fallen on this man, especially after Egger directly stated her ambitions, she had already regarded herself as this man's woman. It's just that what makes her dissatisfied is that this first woman let Millie take possession, and she actually let Osa get it first, and she began to have a sense of crisis......
"You suffered before, but now I'm here to protect you!" Iger doesn't have to confess anything, what should be said and what shouldn't be said, he has actually said it, he once revealed that there will only be one man in the team, he is their only destination, everyone has acquiesced, right? He hugged this girl who was as gentle as water.
Speaking of which, she is now completely different from the impression he had when he first met, at that time she was more like a hedgehog that armed herself, carefully guarding against outsiders, and protecting herself in this way, but now, she no longer needs this sharp thorn, because there is a man who will always protect her, and she is willing to rely on him......
The house is not large, standing alone on a high slope of the small mountain road, and there are few people here. The team is led by Claire and Osha, although they don't believe that there will be much danger here, but the mercenaries are people who live with their heads up, and often a carelessness means the end of life, so the warrior still carefully carries the shield at the front, while Osha, who turned on the undead tracking, cautiously identified the various traces around her, trying to find what she wanted under some clues......
"There are indeed traces of undead activity here, most likely spirits, although there are not many traces to identify, but I guess it should be a banshee, be careful, don't just occupy her body." Osa whispered a reminder to her teammates behind her. Banshees are spirits, there is no real body, they are often good at spiritual attacks, such as banshee wailing, high-level banshees may indeed have some kind of ability to occupy the other party's body in an instant, and control the target's activities, but those are all high-level banshees, and everyone doesn't believe that there will be such a high-level banshee here, but it's always right to be careful.
The house was pitch black, as if no one had ever lived in it, and if they were just passing by, they might be fine, but when everyone had a clear goal of moving into this hut, the situation was a little more delicate......
At first, there was no wind and waves, and a gust of wind blew in front of it, and the debris on the ground flew everywhere. After no effect, the wooden door was opened without warning, and inside, there was no one......
In this atmosphere, like a horror movie, it seems to be very scary, but it makes a few girls a little nervous, not because they are not firm, but because women are naturally afraid of these dirty things......
Osa turned to look at Egger, who nodded, and she removed the falcon's strike, bent her bow and arrow, and fired a "flare" into the room.
Under the light of arcane detection, an invisible banshee was illuminated by the light, and then instantly "Hunter Marked......
At this time, everyone can clearly observe this banshee who pretends to be a ghost, with the face of a pale woman and messy long hair, with the standard characteristics of an ordinary banshee, and also has the standard characteristics of an ordinary woman. Iger noticed that the level of this banshee was only level 20, which was still an ordinary level, and the strength was not enough at all.
"Do you want to kill them?"
Claire asked eagerly as she switched her two-handed greatsword. He shook his head: "This banshee is too weak, let's observe it first!" ”
The banshee was horrified to find that she had been found by the other party, she seemed to be afraid of the light, and shrank behind the door in fear, while shouting in a very sharp and terrible voice: "Get out of here, get out of here, don't try to invade my house, you go quickly!" ”
Obviously, this is not an evil soul, at least it is not completely unconscious, the kind that does evil when it sees people, it just has some kind of grudge against this place, this grudge has kept it guarded here, expelling something that dares to approach, and if it can be guided by lì, its soul is likely to be liberated...... (To be continued......)
