Chapter 279: Necromancer and Sacrifice
It's a pity that the characteristics of the Lion's Arch are destined to make his search not go too smoothly, although this coastal city that has emerged in the last hundred years is known as an all-inclusive and free capital, but its actual leadership class, the Captains' United Council, is actually the birth of pirates, so that the outsiders who flock to this place are mostly adventurous and ambitious adventurers, they can be unruly and can fly freely, but the only thing that generally lacks that kind of calm and low-key, and these two qualities are exactly what the goddess of life, Vena, has always shown to the world. Therefore, it is not an easy task to find the followers of Vena, the goddess of life, in the lion arch.
Lu Xiaofeng encountered this trouble, although the few days he had been active in the Lion Arch provided him with memory convenience for his search activities, but this did not mean that the believers of the Goddess of Life would appear out of thin air, in short, he ran most of the Lion Arch, and communicated with the NPCs there one by one in several locations with a large grasp, and he still did not touch the corner of the task.
Lu Xiaofeng took the time to ask his friends who were struggling on other maps, and learned that their actions were not all smooth sailing - although the success of Qianfu Bailian and Popeye's feet had triggered the quest at the Light Sacrifice in the main city of mankind and the potion merchant in the Asura Cube Castle respectively, proving the reliability of the spotless beautiful boy's guess, but this does not mean that the progress of others is also smooth: although the NPCs related to medical skills are the hot spots for triggering the quest, it does not mean that all NPCs related to medical skills will trigger the quest, Just like at the beginning, Lu Xiaofeng found the pirate ship doctor Padham, thinking that he had found an angel, but it turned out that this violent ship doctor believed in the god of war, Bassaz, and this guy's back and forth line "Bassazer gave me extraordinary courage, I use it to conquer the sea!" Lu Xiaofeng's mood fell from heaven to hell in an instant.
Triggering the same NPC repeatedly doesn't seem to work, so in order to come to this conclusion, the second-fastest travel thief Halo contributed a lot, and he did an experiment for this. When he ran from the Watch Fortress to the main human city and found nothing, the sullen man could no longer hold back his scolding.
But the others won't sympathize with him, and who told him to triumphantly announce that he would be the third to trigger the quest at first?
By this time, Lu Xiaofeng and the others had realized that the eight hours given by the task were not rich, and it was already difficult to trigger the task, not to mention that it was not easy to win the "trust" of the NPC after triggering the task, and the task they assigned was more tricky, such as Qianfu Bailian is currently worrying about the "glass-colored pear tart", although he judged that this was some kind of food, but the pit was that he only found the recipe of this food in the auction house instead of the finished product, Although the price of the formula is as high as 30Y, it does not hinder Chibuki Baiai's determination to complete the task. But in a hurry, where to find a player with a "Chef" sub-class proficiency of up to 175?
But this is the trouble of happiness, Lu Xiaofeng, who has not even stepped into the threshold of the task, can't listen to this kind of complaint, this is simply a disease-free moan.
Lu Xiaofeng stood in front of the magic furnace of the lion's arch, casually throwing equipment into it, the continuous synthesis failure made him a little upset, he wanted to rely on the explosion of luck to stimulate his thinking, but now it seems that it will not work, so he stopped this move. Begin to pull out the mission brief again and take a closer look, hoping to find some clues from it.
This seemingly clueless quest, with no location, no specific information, just asking you to find an NPC called a "monk", is simply a lucky mission. At first, Lu Xiaofeng really thought so, and he didn't feel wrong, because the time given by the task was quite "sufficient", enough time to turn the ethereal luck into possibility: the carpet search was effective after all. The stupidest approach has the highest success rate.
However, the reminder of the spotless beautiful boy made Lu Xiaofeng dispel his inertia, if he didn't think about it in order to save effort, he could only use physical strength to use carpet search to achieve his goal. Energy is always conserved, and it may be that the mental energy consumed to achieve the same purpose is equal to the physical energy, but there is no doubt that Lu Xiaofeng feels that it is cooler and more fulfilling to consume mental labor.
He's analyzing all the lines of the old frog Haksu.
The analysis of the spotless beautiful boy judged the approximate location of the monk's activities, but now Lu Xiaofeng has a new breakthrough.
Haksu's lines are very organized, a few lines point out the cause and effect of the monk he is looking for and the solution, it doesn't seem like he is a nagging NPC, so why did he mention the god of death, Gurance and his follower, the necromancer, in the first place? Because at first glance, it has nothing to do with the task given.
But a closer reading of Haksu's lines reveals that in the end, what he needs is "bringing back a way to fight evil", not "the help of the followers of the goddess of life", in other words, even if it comes from "the help of the believers of the god of death, Gurans", it will not refuse!
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, this is Haksu's hidden need, and it is also another way for players to complete the task: find the necromancer! Death against death!
He thinks this inference is very reliable, and it should be correct! There is a lack of kind-hearted physician NPCs on the map of Lion Arch, but there will never be a shortage of necromancers with terrifying powers, although this profession with legal identity is feared and rejected by ordinary people, but necromancers are not uncommon on the Great Adventure Continent, and even when Lu Xiaofeng was wandering around the Lion Arch looking for monks, he met some NPCs wearing black cloaks and terrifying masks on the road.
They are necromancers, fairly typical of their attire, and their identities are much easier to judge than monks.
If you don't go to the necromancer to judge whether the inference is correct or not, you have to change to another map to continue looking for monks, but the maps around the Lion's Arch are basically 25+ and even have a high of 30, after finding the monks here, they will issue tasks, and the task level should be matched with the map level, Lu Xiaofeng hurts when he thinks about it, although he has a certain confidence in completing these tasks with his level of 25, but if he is unlucky, he will encounter a similar task that he received with Qianbuki Bailian, Then the proficiency requirement of the food recipe is at least 250 or more, and then it will be 250 - at this time, the absolute force has not yet given birth to any series of players with a secondary proficiency level of 250!
In order to avoid this risk, Lu Xiaofeng originally planned to leave the Lion's Arch and wade a little farther away to find luck on the map below level 20, but now it seems that there is a better choice, in short, find a necromancer first to see the situation.
According to the memory, he acted immediately, and soon found the NPC in his impression, Lu Xiaofeng went up to talk with great enthusiasm, but encountered a basin of cold water, this NPC is indeed a necromancer, but he does not bird him, and repeatedly says a line: Death_shall_cleanse_the_world! (Death will purify the entire world), Lu Xiaofeng didn't expect that this necromancer turned out to be a foreigner, and it didn't look like he was easy to communicate.
This forced him to look for a second, a third...... But the successive "refusals" cooled down Lu Xiaofeng's enthusiasm, and the entire five necromancers couldn't trigger the mission, which made him a little skeptical of his judgment, could the analysis be wrong?
However, Haksu had already been vaccinated in advance, and said that necromancers were not necessarily willing to help, which made Lu Xiaofeng determined to click on every necromancer in the Lion Arch.
Lu Xiaofeng still made no progress after that, until he met Andrew, the necromancer with funny lines.
The necromancer clicked on him and shouted, "All I see is darkness!! Dark!!! The sound effect is very passionate and exaggerated, this fanatical secondary two NPC made Lu Xiaofeng a little speechless, but his words changed and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, it's my hat that blocks my eyes......"
The NPC then continued: "Adventurer, what are you looking for me? ”
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't hold back his mood and raised his fist, this is what he wants! Click on the character to speak automatically to enter the task mode:
"Your Excellency Andrew, I'm in trouble......"
The character confronted Andrew, the necromancer, and explained the cause and effect, and Andrew reluctantly agreed to the invitation, but the necromancer was obviously not keen to help others, and he made a request:
"The true god Gurans is the only existence that can control death, the immortal dragon Zhan Dan actually intervenes in the realm of death, as a loyal believer of the true Gurans, he will definitely not tolerate this blasphemous, the poisonous dragon Rogedan should definitely not appear in this world! I'm willing to help the Hack Frog Clan fight Rogdan, but Rogdan is undeniably strong, and I need to be prepared! ”
"Adventurer, now is the time to contribute your strength!"
"As you wish!"
"Excellent! Death will rule all, and you must be ready to become a sacrifice......"
Yes!? Lu Xiaofeng was stunned, I don't want to be a sacrifice, it doesn't seem very reliable to find this NPC...... Just listen to Andrew continue: "Of course, if you don't want to be a sacrifice, someone needs to replace you......"
As a result, two options pop up on the screen: one, become a sacrifice yourself, and two: find a replacement.
Lu Xiaofeng did not hesitate to choose two, although it seems that option one may get a higher reward or be easier to complete, but Lu Xiaofeng guesses that this eighty percent is an option to sacrifice the level, such as contributing the vitality of the "first level" as a sacrifice, but his level is very important for the competition for the boss, and he is not willing to destroy his plan because of this.
Andrew was very sorry when he received the reply: "It seems that you have no spirit of self-sacrifice, so now I have to give you a difficult task." ”
Lu Xiaofeng pursed his lips and was very disdainful, no matter how difficult the task was, he didn't care about it, even if he wanted him to arrest these people as sacrifices and drop one level~ (To be continued......)
