System Prompt: You are locked by the Space Chain, and you will not be able to use the Space Props and the Main Plane Teleportation Array for 24 hours of gameplay!

As soon as he entered the game, Zhao Xi immediately received an eye-catching system prompt.

Zhao Xi didn't expect Hua Manlou's hands and feet to be so fast, and he would lock himself with legendary equipment as soon as he went online.

The inability to use space props and the main plane teleportation array means that he can no longer use the city return scroll, and he does not want to escape to other cities or independent planes through the teleportation array.

However, the current Zhao Xi didn't care, because first of all, he was in the Preston plane, and the task of the Holy Hall would take a long time to complete, and before returning to the main plane, Hua Manlou could only stare dryly.

Secondly, according to Zhao Xi's understanding of the game, he believes that the locking function of the space chain must be limited, and after 24 hours have passed, the opponent will definitely need to pay some price if he wants to re-lock himself, and the longer this destined battle lasts, the more powerful it will be for him.

At the last level, the spatial chain can limit Zhao Xi's range of activities, but the size of the main plane of light can be said to be boundless, and the number of leveling maps is even more numerous, even if Hua Manlou can grasp his location at any time, he is not without a way to deal with counterattacks.

So Zhao Xi directly left this system prompt behind, and he left the fat mayor's house with the team members who were online again and went to the tavern in the town together.

In the morning, just after dawn, the town was shrouded in a light mist. The streets were silent.

When Zhao Xi and the others arrived at the tavern, his 10 mercenaries were already waiting there.

After yesterday's battle in the mines, the loyalty of Groot, Saya, and Evan has increased to more than 95 points, and any orders from Zhao Xi will be carried out to the letter.

Zhao Xi said to them: "Let's go, let's go to the small square in the center of the town!" ”

The small square of Dawn Town was not far from the tavern, and when the Eyebrows Squad and the Mercenary Squad arrived, everyone heard the bell ringing from the church bell tower next to the square.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

This is the bell that the mayor rings to gather the townspeople, and is usually only ringed when something important needs to be announced, and the last time it was rung was when the Shadow Wolves attacked the Copper Mines.

The townspeople who heard the bell did not understand what was happening, but they left their homes one after another. From all directions came to the small square.

10 minutes later. Hundreds of townspeople gathered in the small square, and they looked at the fat mayor standing on the stone platform in the center of the square and the eyebrow raising team led by Zhao Xi, whispering to each other.

The townsfolk had different expressions, sadness, numbness, anger, and anticipation.

Seeing that the townspeople are almost here. The fat mayor with a bulging chest and belly stood up and said loudly, "Tell you a good news." The Shadow Wolves that plague our Dawn Town have been wiped out by knights sent by the Lord. Don't worry anymore! ”

Hearing the good news, the townspeople did not cheer and celebrate, but all showed surprise. Someone asked in a loud voice, "Mayor, you didn't lie to us, did you?" ”

"yes, yes, the shadow wolves are so powerful, they were wiped out so quickly?"

"I don't believe it, he must be lying to us!"

"I'm also a little bit unconvinced"

Everyone didn't seem to believe Fat Mayor's words, which made Fat Mayor very embarrassed, and his face turned red.

He coughed vigorously a few times, and just as he wanted to say a few more words, Zhao Xi stood in front of him and said aloud to the townspeople in the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Zhao Da Niu, a Templar sent by Lord Anlan, and just yesterday, my team has cleared out all the shadow wolves entrenched in the copper mines!" ”

He glanced at Fang Xu, who nodded understandingly, pulled out the corpse of a shadow wolf from his backpack, and threw it under the stone platform.

This was specially kept by Zhao Xi yesterday, Fang Xu didn't understand what it was before, but now he understands.

Boom!

The corpse of the shadow wolf fell heavily in front of the townspeople, although it had long since lost its breath, it still maintained its hideous appearance, and it was so frightened that the townspeople standing in front of it could not stand steadily, and the screams came one after another.

Zhao Xi took the opportunity to continue: "If you still don't believe it, you can ask Groot and Saya, they also participated in yesterday's battle, and they behaved very bravely, which is the pride of your Dawn Town!" ”

Groot immediately stood up, patted his chest and shouted, "I killed 5 shadow wolves!" ”

Not to be outdone, Saya said: "I killed 4 heads!" ”

Other mercenaries also said that what Zhao Xi said was true.

If the townspeople didn't believe in the mayor, they would be suspicious of Zhao Xi, but with this group of warrior hunters they knew and familiar with standing up to prove it, coupled with the wolf corpses on the ground, their doubts were finally completely dispelled, and they immediately cheered with joy.

Zhao Xi raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down first, and continued: "I have completed the task assigned by the lord, and I will take people back to the Black Stone Castle today, even if one or two shadow wolves have missed, I believe that Groot and them can easily deal with it." ”

The fat mayor took the opportunity to say: "Everyone is fine, the lord wants us to resume the mining of the copper mine as soon as possible, so we can't delay any longer, and the miners present will return to the mine for me now!" ”

The townsfolk were talking, but no one objected, as many of them depended on mining for their livelihoods, and they also wanted to return to the mines to earn money to support their families.

When the dust settled, Zhao Xi said to Groot: "In the future, you will be responsible for protecting the town and the mine, I told the fat mayor that your salary will be doubled from tomorrow." ”

Groot was very moved, bowed to Zhao Xi and said, "Lord Xie Lu, I hope that one day I can continue to fight side by side with you!" ”

Zhao Xi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "There will be a chance!" ”

System Prompt: Groot Loyalty +5!

System Prompt: Mercenary Groot has reached full loyalty, does he sign a permanent employment contract?

Perpetual employment contract?

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, what does this mean?

Fortunately, there is a note in the system prompt to explain that the so-called permanent employment contract refers to the fact that after the NPC's loyalty to the player reaches the full value, it is allowed to sign a permanent employment contract, so that the former can become a similar existence to a summoned beast.

Once the permanent employment contract is signed, this NPC will become the player's "hero", which can be summoned to help in battle at any time when needed, and the "hero" can continue to cultivate and upgrade, can also wear professional equipment, and also has a certain amount of AI intelligence, and will carry out the player's orders to the letter.

It looks very tempting, but in order to sign a permanent employment contract, the player must also have a hero badge that can accommodate NPCs, otherwise the contract will fail.

Knowing the meaning of the permanent employment contract, Zhao Xi could only shake his head helplessly and give up, because he had never heard of any hero badges at all, and he also believed that hero badges must be extremely rare props.

Bidding farewell to Groot and the fat mayor, Zhao Xi left Dawn Town with the Raised Eyebrows team and embarked on the journey back to Blackstone Castle.

However, no one noticed that when they left Dawn Town, there was one less person in the group.

Soon after the departure of the Raising Eyebrows, the town of Dawn became lively again, and the miners in the town were reorganized by the foreman, and under the protection of Groot and other mercenaries, they went to the copper mines together.

A team of forty or fifty miners and ten mercenaries left the town and set out on the familiar forest path, arriving at the copper mines in a small amount of time.

Along the way, the miners' suspense was suddenly relieved, and they began to rebuild the mine under the command of the foreman, collecting discarded tools and repairing damaged and abandoned minecarts.

This mine, located at the foot of the mountain, is once again bustling with activity.

But these miners, including the mercenaries, who were in full swing, had no idea that danger was quietly approaching them——
