The battle that took place next to the copper mine soon ended.

Only a few of the hundreds of attacking shadow wolves managed to escape, and the rest were all corpses on the ground, as well as the experience points of the members of the Raising Eyebrows clan.

Although they didn't reveal many valuable items, they still made everyone smile.

Mission progress 493/350!

As experienced players know, if the progress of a mission exceeds the rated value, then there will be an excess reward, and the higher the upper limit, the better.

The number of shadow wolves near Dawn Town should be 500, and the mission requirement to eliminate 70% is exactly 350, which means that only 7 shadow wolves have escaped, and they are basically close to being wiped out.

The only one killed in the battle was An Xiaohai, the poor thief had already died twice in the Preston plane, and if it weren't for the priest's presence, I'm afraid he would have been kicked out of the mission.

Ye Zhengxi sneered: "He is self-inflicted, seeing the equipment is like seeing a beautiful woman, I can't save it!" ”

In this ambush battle, An Xiaohai and Ye Zhengxi were responsible for dealing with the mastermind behind the wolves, in fact, when the Raised Eyebrows team left Dawn Town, An Xiaohai had already sneaked to the mine to search for the enemy.

The development of things did not surprise Zhao Xi, and the vampire led the wolves to attack the miners who returned to the mine again, and they killed a beautiful return rifle, thus exceeding the mission goal.

An Xiaohai was also thick-skinned, ignoring Ye Zhengxi's ridicule, and asked Zhao Xi: "Boss, how did you know that the vampires of the Lu Dao Dao would definitely come?" ”

Zhao Xi smiled and said, "I also guess that there should be vampire eyeliner in the town." It's a pity that I didn't find out. ”

An Xiaohai's task is not only to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, but also to find possible spies.

It turns out that there must be a spy in Dawn Town, otherwise vampires wouldn't have reacted so quickly.

It's just that the spy and the vampire don't have direct face-to-face contact, so the thieves didn't find any clues, otherwise they might trigger a new quest.

That's the beauty of story missions, where every move of the player will have an impact on the entire mission, whether it's good or bad, and the possibilities are endless.

An Xiaohai smacked his lips and praised unfinished: "The effect of the holy water is really good. It's a pity that there is only one bottle. ”

He and Ye Jung-hee teamed up to snipe the vampire mage. The most important thing is a bottle of "diluted holy water" given by Zhao Xi, without this prop, it would definitely not be so easy to kill that level 25 mini-boss vampire.

Ye Qianqian was curious: "How did you know that Lu Dao was able to get the holy water in Du Wei's hands?" ”

Zhao Xi said: "The vampire is very strong, but it only drives the shadow wolf to attack Dawn Town and does not dare to kill it itself. There must be something in the town that it fears. I can't think of anyone else but Pastor Dewey. ”

Originally, Zhao Xi wanted to move Du Wei to help deal with vampires. However, the priest gave him a bottle of "diluted holy water" at the cost of recruiting mercenaries for 20 trust.

This gave Zhao Xi a deeper understanding of the system reward of "trust".

"We're really leaving this time!" He said to Groot, "I'll leave it to you in the future!" ”

With all the quests in Dawn complete, it's time to head back to Blackstone Castle for the next adventure. To be honest, Zhao Xi is really a little reluctant to let go of this group of loyal NPC mercenaries.

They are able to carry out their orders to the letter, work hard without their own opinions and ideas, and can easily cultivate a high enough loyalty, except for the strength of the handicap really has no shortcomings.

After this battle of extermination, Groot needless to say, the loyalty of the other 9 mercenaries such as Saya, Evan and others to Zhao Xi has reached the full value, and they can all sign a permanent employment contract.

It's just that Zhao Xi doesn't have a hero badge, and he can't take any of them away.

After cleaning the battlefield, Zhao Xi said goodbye to the mercenaries and returned to Blackstone Castle with his team.

At the Lord's Palace, they met Baron Anlan again.

System Prompt: You complete the task of clearing the shadow wolf, and the members of your team gain 200,000 experience points, plane reputation +4, skill points +2, mission evaluation: perfect!

The light of promotion rose at Zhao Xi's feet, and relying on the doubling experience reward, he rose from level 17 to level 18!

Although 7 shadow wolves escaped, the system still gave a perfect evaluation, not only doubling the experience reward, but also doubling the plane reputation and skill points at the same time, especially the last reward is even more satisfying.

Baron Anlan was very happy: "I heard that you also eliminated a vampire mage, it really helped us solve a big problem, the copper mine over there in Dawn Town is very important, I really don't know how to thank you!" ”

System prompt: Anlan trust +20, Locke trust +10!

This is undoubtedly an additional reward for killing the vampire mage, if it was left in the past, even Zhao Xi probably wouldn't care, but now he has understood that trust is hard-won and precious.

What's more, slaying the vampire mage, the Raised Eyebrows team also gained two good high-level excellent equipment.

Zhao Xi smiled slightly: "Lord Lord is too polite, it is our duty and duty to destroy evil!" ”

Ye Qianqian, who was standing next to him, secretly made an expression of wanting to vomit at him.

Just then, the door to the council chamber was pushed open, and Locke strode in.

The level 25 paladin Locke is the captain of the Blackstone Castle Guard, and the most powerful NPC in the entire Preston Territory.

But unlike the last time Zhao Xi saw him, this resolute and brave paladin seemed to have just experienced a tragic battle, with a terrifying scar on his face, and his expression was much haggard.

He nodded at Zhao Xi, with a hint of respect in his eyes: "Welcome to your return, hard work!" ”

Zhao Xi's heart moved, and asked, "Your Excellency Locke, are you in any trouble?" ”

Baron Anlan rubbed his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "We have more and more enemies, not only vampires, last night there was a team composed of beasts and demons that attacked the lord's mansion, although their number is small, but their strength is very strong, Locke was seriously injured in order to protect me." ”

Orcs and demons!

Zhao Xi and Ye Qianqian looked at each other, and they both saw Ran's expressions in each other's eyes.

Locke said in a deep voice: "The subordinates are incompetent, they have not guarded the adults well, and they have not found out the enemy. ”

"It's not your fault"

An Lan waved his hand and said, "You have done your best, let's take care of your injuries first, there is a protective array, and the safety of the Black Rock Castle should be no problem for the time being."

Zhao Xi took a step forward and asked, "Lord Lord, is there anything I can help with?" ”

If I'm not mistaken, this team of beasts and demons should be players from the Moonlight plane, and the new task they face is undoubtedly a more difficult faction confrontation.

The player is not an NPC, and the most important thing is that so far, Zhao Xi still doesn't know the number, level, and equipment level of the opponent, and there are too many variables in the task.

But the more difficult the task, the richer the rewards, this time Preston plot mission, Zhao Xi must be successful, otherwise once he returns to the main plane to face the Flower Guardian Knights, his chances of victory will be even smaller.

An Lan said happily: "If Your Excellency is willing to help, that would be great! There were 9 of them in this enemy team, 2 of which we destroyed yesterday, and 7 of them were hiding in the castle. ”

"I hope you can find them all and wipe them out!"

"It must be noted," the female lord said solemnly, "I suspect that there are vampires or spies in Blackstone Castle, otherwise they would not have been able to infiltrate the castle so easily, so you may face more than seven opponents!" ”

System Prompt: Have you accepted the quest to eliminate the opposing faction's player team?

Objective: Eliminate all hostile players lurking in Blackstone Castle!

Mission limit: 72 hours of standard time.

Rewards: 300,000 XP points, 5 Plane Fame, +1 Level!

Failure Penalty: -20 Anlan Trust, -20 Locke Trust!

The reward for this task is so rich, even Ye Qianqian's eyes are shining.

Zhao Xi chose to agree without hesitation! ——
