Chapter 262: Water War
This wild dwarf who didn't know where to kill, the four of them watched speechlessly as he hugged the box and splashed and beaten, still puzzled.
"Tell me, what's going on? This is the box I managed to fish out from the bottom of the lake, and I wasted a bottle of underwater breathing medicine, how can I fish it up and become yours? Osa asked the dwarf very unhappily, she had just mysteriously prepared to open the box to see what treasures were inside.
"Ah, dear friend, did you really fish it from the bottom of the lake? I see, it must be those damn fish-people doing a good deed. ”
This "halfling", who is only half the height of ordinary people and looks older than an adult, seems to have thought for a while, and then told everyone what happened: "I am a craftsman from Ironforge Castle, and I have contracted a business issued by the lord of Lakeside Town, preparing to assemble several war machines, including steam tanks, in the fortifications on both sides of the Zhishui Lake Bridge, which will be used to build the permanent defense system of this bridge against the sabotage of the Blackstone Orcs." My workers took the lead and managed to pack the parts and ship them here for piling up, waiting for me to bring in an engineer to assemble them. In just one night, they discovered that ten boxes were missing, along with the militia who was guarding them. At first, we thought it was the militia guarding the theft, but after expert identification, it was revealed that it was possible that it was attacked by an unknown creature in the middle of the night, that the poor guy might be dead, and that the box containing the parts was missing. ”
"Without these boxes, we wouldn't be able to do the project at all, and we would have to wait a long time to pull the goods from the Iron Forge. And the loss of money is huge, and I don't know what to do here, but I found this box in you, and it was fished out of the lake. According to this reasoning, it is probably the hateful fish-men who attacked the stockpile in the middle of the night, and after killing people and looting things, they found that there was nothing in it, and they ended up discarding it in the lake, which must be the case. ”
"You look like powerful mercenaries, so be it. I have a mercenary mission for you. Help us collect the other nine same boxes that have been lost in the lake, and I'll pay you what you're happy with, and I'll give you a piece of blue gear. ”
Hearing that there was blue equipment to be delivered, Egger and the others were immediately moved. But here he still has an eye on it. I winked. Claire drew her sword and pried open the chest. This dwarf didn't stop either, and after opening the box, he found that there were indeed some metal gears, pipes and the like inside. It's useless for the fish people to get these things, so it's no wonder they throw them away.
"Since you already know it's at the bottom of the lake, why don't you go down and fish it yourself?" Iger asked.
"You know, we gnomes are all great inventors and engineers, and the water is not very good, this lake is deep, and there may be murderous fishmen swimming in it, or it is more convenient for you mercenaries to take action."
Fish talent is the key, right? understood what was going on, and the Warcraft mercenary group that had originally come to do the task would naturally not refuse. After accepting, Iger checked the system prompt.
Tip: Congratulations on completing the "Hilary's Necklace" quest and obtaining a two-star neutral blue companion card "Demon Addict", which has been added to the Hearthstone Book, please check it out for yourself.
Hint: Your level is increased to 26.
Tip: You've accepted the "Reclaim Lost Chests" quest.
Hey, I didn't expect Osa to inadvertently help the girl find the necklace just now, and it was actually recognized by the system as having completed a task, because the difficulty is not high, and the reward is a two-star card, but this blue quality makes up for the disadvantage of the level, a very good extra income, and the bottle of underwater breathing medicine is not in vain. As for the level increase, it is not surprising, his experience has been accumulated for a long time, and it is just a normal upgrade, and the third girl is as high as level 32 after all, and the upgrade requires more experience, which will not move yet.
Demon addict, is a beautiful female blood elf royal sister, two-star 1-3 figure is a little "slim", drug addiction.
But the special effects brought by the blue quality are not bad.,Originally, in this round.,Every time the hero casts a spell,She gets +2 attacks.,This can be stacked on many layers.,The theoretical maximum is,If you have up to 9 spells in your hand.,After all of them are released, this round can add 18 points of damage.,Plus 1 point of damage itself is 19-3.,But this is too difficult to achieve.。
The physical card doesn't have a concept of turns, so it's changed accordingly, after summoning her, each spell cast will give her +2 Attack, which lasts for one day, but can't exceed 10 Attack.
Because she can't exceed the limit of 10 attacks, she is 10-3 at most, on the other hand, as long as she shoots any spell card, she will change from 1-3 to 3-3, as long as 4 spell cards shoot, it is 9-3, 5 cards are 10-3, and it doesn't make sense to have more. For a two-star retinue, the potential of this beauty is quite high, and it is worth collecting for a long time.
……
Considering that this guy who claims to be a dwarf inventor provides an important clue, that is, there may be fish-people swimming in the lake, then this job really can't be done by Osa alone, and to search the remaining 9 boxes in the lake, although it is much better than looking for a needle in a haystack, it will definitely take a lot of time, and it is faster for 4 people to do it together. In addition, Iger felt that this task coincided with the "Fishman's Fin" and could be completed together. Although he was originally going to find a fish-man village and then turn on the village slaughter mode, in this way, he will collect more quest items and the monetary rewards will definitely be rich. But how can I say it, would the big officials care about this commission in copper and silver coins?
As for the cards obtained by completing the task, in terms of the urine of the system, most of them are drawn by luck, and there is no necessarily correlation with the number of task items handed in. If you go along with it, let's do it together, and collect more than 10 anyway.
"Claire and Ellie Jie came to get a bottle of underwater breathing potion, Osha's potion effect is not over yet, it should be able to last until the search task is completed, if it really doesn't work, you can get out of the water first." Let's turn on the humanoid tracking mode, there are hidden fishmen in the lake, and we can kill 10 of them by the way, just in time to complete another mission issued by the lord. You can spread out a little, but don't get too far away, Ellie is in the middle, ready to support the three of us, let's act together if it's okay. ”
"Yes!"
The four of them entered the water one after another, even if the water was not good, with the effect of underwater breathing medicine, there was no need to worry about breathing problems. This potion will turn the surface skin of a person into a person that can absorb oxygen from the water during the action time, which is very useful, but the problem is that the water of the lake is not very clear, and it is not possible to see too far after entering the water, which is especially troublesome when performing search tasks. There's also the big problem, and that's that you can't talk underwater......
Egg saw Osa anxiously gesturing in Claire's direction, but she didn't notice anything wrong when she happened to find a box among the weeds. Huntress has a way of tracking, doesn't she?
Following Osha's gaze, he soon discovered that there was a fish-man who was ready to attack hidden in the dense aquatic grass next to him, and he was waiting with a harpoon, and after it felt that there was no problem with the distance, he quickly kicked his leg and shot straight at Claire like a sharp arrow in the water. It was only at this time that the female warrior discovered the hidden danger, but after all, she was a defensive warrior who had been fighting on the front line for a long time, so she did not panic and raised her shield to this one. But she forgot a question, which was in the water......
Defensive warriors are generally rooted in the land, and whether the lower disc is stable or not is an important indicator to measure whether a defensive warrior is strong or not, but in the water, where is it stable? As soon as she tried hard, she felt bad, the water was full of resistance, and she couldn't borrow her strength, so her blocking movements were a little deformed.
"Ice Arrow!"
An ice arrow trailed a long trail and shot at the sneaking fishman, and it was obviously frozen and slowed down, and its health was also cut by more than a third, which scared the fishman into a prey, and in an instant the hunter became a prey. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Claire steadied herself, slowly adjusting to the resistance in the water, and with a slam of her shield, she smashed open the harpoon of the sneak attack, and then turned it into a dead fish with a few tricky swords. Letting the blood stain the waters around her, she casually cut off the fishman's dorsal fin, and the first mission item was in her hands.
With the experience of being ambushed this time, everyone seems to be more cautious, and even if they find a box, they must confirm whether there are fish people ambushing around. Not to mention, this method is very useful, especially with the help of the hunter's humanoid tracking, it is easy to find out if there are fishmen who want to sneak attack, and then they are beaten, and the strength of these fishmen is generally not high, and the priest almost does not have to take action.
Of course, the bottom of the water is the home of the fish people, they can move freely, and Egger and they are all humans, and the away battle is restricted everywhere, but fortunately, the mage's soundproof barrier is strong enough, and even the alarm infrasound waves sent by the fish people in the water can be intercepted, so it can always form a situation of one more fight, otherwise if it attracts groups of rushes, and it is still in the water, even Egger himself will explode his scalp when he thinks about it.
In the end, they collected a total of 16 fish-man dorsal fins and salvaged 8 boxes, only this last one, and searched back and forth, but found nothing. Everyone had to turn their eyes to the dark deep water area.
Before, they still had illusions, hoping to collect enough quest items in a relatively shallow place, but obviously, this illusion was shattered, and there was a deeper body of water in the center of the lake, although the area was not large, but their intuition told them that it was very dangerous, as if there were inexplicable creatures lurking, and if they trespassed, they might be unlucky, and they were fighting in the water that everyone was not used to, so it was even more avoidable.
Now it seems that it is not possible not to explore! (To be continued......)
